Chapter 165: End of the World - Zombie Era (4)

After Ji Jiaqi finished cleaning up, she put the mop on the balcony and sat on the sofa with a pale face.

She didn't want to recall the old lady's appearance when she was alive, but her words and deeds still flashed in her mind.

She always lowered her head, had a gloomy face, walked downstairs slowly, and walked upstairs slowly. Once, Ji Jiaqi ran into her when she was going upstairs. The stairs were too narrow, and their arms accidentally touched each other. She glared at her.

She may have a bad temper, or be a loner, but she is a person.

And she just killed someone.

"Ugh——"

Lin Shiheng lay on the sofa, watching Ji Jiaqi rush into the bathroom with her mouth covered. Soon there were vomiting and crying sounds.

Anyone who heard her crying would think that she was about to collapse, but after Ji Jiaqi vomited, she came out sobbing, and with red eyes, she found a notebook and began to draw the route near her home according to her memory.

Now the Internet and power are cut off. Although she has candles at home, & # 26368;& # 26032;& # 26356;& # 26032;& # 22312;& # 77;& # 46;& # 68;& # 85;& # 48;& # 48;& # 46;& # 67;& # 79;& # 77;& # 26368;& # 20808;& # 26356;& # 26032;& # 30340;, she will never light any candles before she knows whether the zombies are sensitive to light. She can only do whatever she wants to do during the day when there is light.

There is no news from the government yet, and the radio at home that was originally used by Ji Hang is also buzzing with no information. Since zombies bite people, people will become zombies. It is best not to stay in the city. After all, one person will spread to two, two to ten, and ten to a hundred. There is a great possibility that this city will become a zombie paradise.

Of course, it is too early to say this now. Ji Jiaqi bit the tip of the pen and wrote the item [Clean up the zombies in the building] on the notebook with red eyes.

This residential building has two households per elevator, a total of seven floors, all of which are occupied, but there are very few people like her and the old lady who live alone. Most of them have families with them, which means that if a zombie appears in a family, it is very likely that the whole family will be infected.

She is on the top floor of the seventh floor. The only person living on the top floor like her is the old lady. As for the two families on the sixth floor, one is a couple. The daughter goes to school outside, and they are high school teachers. They have to go out to work early every day.

There was another family selling breakfast, and they would go downstairs to set up a stall at four o'clock every day. There was a small vegetable market outside her bedroom window, and there were many people there early in the morning. If the zombies mutated, they would definitely make noises, and she heard screams and chaos at six o'clock, which means that the zombies mutated at five o'clock at the earliest, and the family selling breakfast on the sixth floor must not be at home.

While counting in her mind, Ji Jiaqi drew the floors 1-6 and marked the sixth floor as [temporarily safe].

For the next hour, Lin Shiheng squatted beside Ji Jiaqi, watching her write and draw on the notebook, marking the residents of this residential building one by one, as well as how many residential buildings there were in this community and how many households lived there.

Ji Jiaqi's memory is still very good, otherwise she would not be able to get into a good university, especially because she usually lives alone, so she can't help but observe and build good relationships with her neighbors. Except for the old lady next door who is too aloof and doesn't interact with people, and a middle-aged man on the third floor who looks at her in the wrong way and makes her subconsciously avoid him, the relationship between other people and Ji Jiaqi can be regarded as harmonious neighbors, and they usually say hello when they meet.

Although there is no deeper relationship, at least no one will have any bad intentions.

Because Ji Jiaqi's attitude can be called cautious, Ji Hang has told her several times that there is no need to observe the surroundings like this. What era is it now? Don't people close the door and live their own lives? Who cares who the neighbors are?

Ji Jiaqi's patient explanation did not convince him. He is a man, so he naturally cannot understand how insecure a young and beautiful girl without family to rely on is. This incident made him more certain that Ji Jiaqi is timid and afraid of things, so she is like a hamster, being extremely careful before doing anything every time.

It was precisely because of this caution that Ji Jiaqi spent a whole day planning, and her notebook was filled with three pages of her plan in detail.

First, she had to clear out the zombies in the residential building to make sure that she would not be knocked open by zombies one day when she was sleeping soundly.

In addition, after this step was completed, she would lock the door at the bottom of the building that had been open all the time to prevent outside zombies from entering.

For these two steps, Ji Jiaqi wrote at least six or seven plans.

She still had an advantage. She lived on the top floor, and there was no one living on the rooftop above her. The old lady who lived alone next door was also killed by her. She could have cleared them carefully one floor at a time, and immediately ran back to the seventh floor when there was danger. According to observation, although these zombies were fierce, their steps were very slow compared to humans, at least they could not run at the speed of running.

In other words, if the situation was more dangerous than she thought and she could not beat the opponent, she could just run up the stairs, hide in her own room, and then continue to kill the old lady in the same way as before.

There are still risks. She is usually busy with get off work and doesn't exercise much. She has little strength and is very likely to be bitten by zombies.

But as long as the zombies are not completely eliminated, this possibility will not decrease. Instead of facing this day while being afraid, it is better to face the challenge.

Ji Jiaqi has a hunch that such a disaster will definitely not be solved in a short time. The infected zombies and the radio stations that cannot be received by any country's channels have proved that once it breaks out, it will affect the world rather than just one country.

As the sky gradually darkened, Ji Jiaqi stood on the balcony, opened the window and looked down.

This once prosperous city, which lit up thousands of lights at night and seemed to be full of stars, seemed to have lost its vitality. She looked around and saw a bunch of high-rise buildings, but they were all dark.

No, it was not completely dark.

Some people still lit candles, but they were too few and too far away.

But these candlelights did bring some hope to Ji Jiaqi. Even if they were far away, even if she didn't know who was alive, as long as someone was still alive, as long as she wasn't the only one, it would be fine.

She returned to the bedroom and was about to fall asleep, but she found that there was a light in the building opposite the bedroom.

This light was a bit strange. It didn't look like a candlelight or a flashlight. Instead, it looked like a light was on. But wasn't the power out?

Ji Jiaqi didn't waste her energy thinking about it anymore. According to the plan, she would go down to the sixth floor tomorrow to clean up the zombies and find out if there were any living people. It would be good for her to go to bed early and keep her spirits up.

She has always been a person who would work hard to achieve a goal as long as she set it. So even though her heart was full of things, one moment it was Ji Hang who took away all the money mercilessly, the next moment it was the old lady next door, the orphanage where she grew up, the cat-eared and cat-tailed boy and the beautiful ragdoll cat, she still tried to force herself to sleep.

Beside the pillow, the ragdoll Heng saw her fall asleep, yawned, and closed his eyes.

He would not stop her. In this world, only by standing up on your own can you survive.

****

From the second day, Ji Jiaqi began to implement his plan to remove zombies from the residential building.

The sixth floor was indeed empty. The two families living on the fifth floor seemed to have all turned into zombies. When Ji Jiaqi went to knock on the door, they banged on the door.

Both families have four people. If they all turned into zombies, plus the children, there would be eight people. Ji Jiaqi couldn't help but sweat for himself because the old lady had considered pretending not to hear when she knocked on the door. Now think about it, it's probably not that there were no zombies attracted at that time, but that they were locked in the room early in the morning and couldn't get out.

Neither of the two families had anti-theft doors. According to the degree of wear and tear of the doors, it was only a matter of time before they broke through the doors and ran out. Ji Jiaqi hesitated for a while and decided that she couldn't just leave it alone, otherwise she would be the one to die when they ran out.

So Lin Shiheng, who had been standing in the stairwell and looking down, ready to rescue Ji Jiaqi at any time, saw the weak girl coming back. After searching the house, she found a saw...

It was a very ordinary saw, with a wooden handle and an iron ruler. I don’t know what this girl had done with this electric saw before. Anyway, she was not very comfortable holding the electric saw now and started to sharpen it on the whetstone again.

When Ji Jiaqi felt that the sharpness was almost right, she went downstairs again.

She first cut a knife in the middle of one of the wooden doors with a kitchen knife. After confirming that there was a hole, she turned pale and gestured the size of her head. She drew a circle on the door with a marker she found in the house, and then, with a cold sweat, she sawed the door along the hole with the saw amid the howling of the zombies.

This was a big project, especially since she was weak and had to be highly nervous, fearing that the zombies would break out of the door before she sawed it. Therefore, after sawing a circle, Ji Jiaqi was already sweating all over.

The zombies in the room who wanted to rush over when they saw her really began to squeeze into the circle desperately. In the end, a male zombie won and squeezed his head out of the circle. He kept opening his mouth to bite Ji Jiaqi who was standing in front of him.

Compared with the first time, Ji Jiaqi's hands were steadier this time. She swung the kitchen knife and chopped the male zombie several times before chopping off his head.

When his head fell off and his body was still leaning against the door, she pushed his body down with the kitchen knife and continued to wait for the next zombie.

Although this method was tiring and slow, it was very safe. On the seventh day, Ji Jiaqi had cleaned up the entire residential building.

Except for the family on the fourth floor who did not respond to the knocking, and a little girl on the second floor who was alone at home who responded, there were no living people in the whole building.

Ji Jiaqi was so tired that she had no strength to be sad. After she locked the door downstairs with difficulty and gave the key to the little girl on the second floor who responded to her, she just wanted to go back and have a good sleep.

When she got to the house, she found the ragdoll cat on the windowsill, looking outside, wagging its tail, as if it was very interested in something outside.

She walked forward in confusion, and saw a person in the building opposite opening the window and holding up the paper in his hand towards her.

The paper was very large, and the words were also very large. The two buildings were very close to each other, and Ji Jiaqi was not nearsighted, so he could see it clearly.

[Do you have any food? Can I exchange it with you using a telescope? ]

Seeing that Ji Jiaqi seemed to have seen it, the man quickly raised another piece of paper.

[I also have generators, arrows, and water here, and I can exchange them with you]

[Please be kind, big brother, I am really starving! ! ! ]
