Li Mengying looked at the sofa at the door, raised an eyebrow and said to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Well done, blocking the door like this provides some security. But for now, let's move this sofa away and check the corridor. I suspect the zombie corpse you threw in the corridor has disappeared."
"What? Disappeared? What do you mean? Are you saying the corpse was eaten by the zombie?"
Li Mengying had a serious expression and said earnestly, "I don't know, but if there were so many zombies here only after we came, then the only difference before and after might be the addition of those two zombie bodies."
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more after hearing this, she just walked over and, together with Li Mengying, gently lifted the sofa and moved it to a different position.
Li Mengying first looked through the peephole and saw no one outside the door, then she put her ear to the door to listen. After confirming that there was no one outside, Li Mengying made a gesture for Lin Xiaoxiao to hold the door, just in case there was any movement, it would be easier to respond.
Li Mengying walked out of the door quietly. Just as she stepped out, she heard some faint sound, but she couldn't tell what it was. It sounded eerie. However, to confirm her suspicion, Li Mengying slowly walked towards the corridor, keeping close to the wall. The closer she got to the corridor, the clearer the sound became.
Through the transparent glass of the corridor door, Li Mengying slightly revealed her pair of eyes and looked over slowly.
The corridor lights suddenly turned on, and Li Mengying saw everything clearly. It was a group of zombies gathered together, gnawing on the body of another zombie, making gnawing and tearing sounds.
Those two zombies had long lost their limbs, their intestines strewn across the floor, and blood staining the entire hallway. Due to the midsummer season, the bodies decayed rapidly, emitting an especially strong putrid smell through the door. Coupled with the flickering of the motion-sensor lights in the hallway, the eerie and horrifying scene caused Li Mengying to break out in a cold sweat.
Li Mengying bit her lip, afraid to make a sound, and slowly retracted her body from the hallway, preparing to leave quietly. When she reached the door of her room, what was just a few meters away had taken Li Mengying over ten minutes to traverse.
As soon as she entered the door, Lin Xiaoxiao was about to speak, but Li Mengying quickly reached out her right hand to cover Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth and made a "shh" gesture with her left hand.
Seeing the cold sweat on Li Mengying's forehead and her nervous expression, Lin Xiaoxiao received the signal and nodded.
Li Mengying nodded at Lin Xiaoxiao before retracting her hand, then slowly and gently closed the door. Finally, she gestured for Lin Xiaoxiao to look at the sofa that had just been moved, making a motion to move it back.
Lin Xiaoxiao made an OK gesture and together with Li Mengying, they moved the previous sofa back and blocked the door.
When everything was settled, Lin Xiaoxiao finally spoke up and asked, "What's wrong? Did zombies get in from outside?"
Li Mengying looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and weakly leaned against the wall, saying, "The zombie body you threw in the hallway was eaten by zombies."
"Ah, are you saying that these things also prey on their own kind?"
Li Mengying covered her head in distress: "It seems so, and most likely the zombies in this area were attracted by these two zombie bodies. With so many zombies gathered together, it's probably going to be difficult for us to escape this area."
Lin Xiaoxiao also felt a little dazed, but soon she forced a bitter smile and said to herself, "Don't be so sad. At least we're alive for another day, right?"
Li Mengying lifted her head, tears welling in her eyes as she nodded slightly at Lin Xiaoxiao and said, "Yeah."
The two of them had been feeling low for a long time, but they quickly regained their confidence and started thinking of ways to leave. There were too many zombies outside, so they didn't dare to make any noise by prying open the door. However, the remaining food would only last for three or four days, so they had to figure something out.
Li Mengying and Lin Xiaoxiao have their eyes on the residents of the neighboring balcony. The windows there are not closed, so they can find a way to search for food across the way.
Fortunately, there is no anti-theft net between the balconies, and this is the 14th floor, so it's also difficult for the zombies downstairs to see what's happening above. So, Li Mengying and Lin Xiaoxiao readily agreed to go over and take a look first.
They took out a bedsheet to make a safety rope first, then tied two mop handles together to pry open the opposite window, creating a gap large enough for one person to pass through.
Li Mengying looked at the safety rope in her hand and calmly said, "I'll go. You stay inside and help me pull the rope."
Lin Xiaoxiao refused, "This is too dangerous. Let me go since my arms are longer!"
Originally thought that this would move Li Mengying, who would have expected that Li Mengying would break Lin Xiaoxiao's defense with just one sentence.
"You're too heavy, I'll go Comparative insurance."
Lin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth: "You... fine, you go."
Li Mengying teased Lin Xiaoxiao for a bit, then tied one end of the rope around her waist and wrapped the other end around the bed, leaving the rest of the rope for Lin Xiaoxiao to pull. After preparing everything, Li Mengying stepped onto the window frame and slowly moved forward.
The width of the window sill outside is the only place where she can stand. As long as she reaches the front, she can step on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and then climb up to the window opposite by leveraging the force.
"Clang"
Li Mengying successfully stepped onto the Outdoor unit, then agilely climbed through the window directly into the opposite balcony.
Untying the rope around her waist, Li Mengying signaled to Lin Xiaoxiao that she would go in to check, and then walked in without looking back.
Upon entering the living room, Li Mengying knew that this was the residence of a family of three. The shelf below the television was filled with photos of the family, with the boy's photos exaggeratedly covering the entire shelf.
Without thinking too much, Li Mengying opened the refrigerator. Fortunately, the power supply system in X City was still functioning normally. Otherwise, who knows how many people would have died when the power went out completely!
Because there are children at home, the refrigerator here is also full of snacks, with quite a few supplies. I estimate that she and Lin Xiaoxiao can eat for about two weeks without any problems.
The only problem is how to take away so much food. With more and more zombies here, they definitely need to leave as soon as possible. Although they haven't figured out how to leave yet, it's not easy to take away so many supplies. But if they don't take them, they don't know where they will find food next time.
In the midst of Li Mengying's dilemma, the contents of the refrigerator have mysteriously disappeared. When Li Mengying comes to her senses and looks at the empty fridge, her eyes widen in disbelief. What happened to the food?
Who knew that the next second, the food reappeared again.
As if she had blinked, Li Mengying rubbed her eyes and looked again, and the food was neatly arranged in the refrigerator.
It seems that I have been too tired recently, and I have been feeling mentally foggy.
