Chapter 30 (2/2)

“Look, give me a cane and I can run.”

“…Come on, at your speed, just lie down and don’t act like a demon, otherwise I will have to help you if I fall.”

Lu Qiming’s expression rarely became serious.

“Now is not the same as before. The zombies are getting more and more powerful. If we don’t hurry up, we won’t even have the last chance.”

Jiang Miaomiao was taken aback, “Do we still have a chance?”

“Do you remember that there is a World Trade Center building on the way to the supermarket?”

“Um.”

“I went in and saw it. There is a vault under it. It is very strong. The materials are bulletproof and can completely resist the attacks of zombies. During the previous turmoil, someone should have gone there to get things. The door was open. We can live in and hide for a while. It’s much safer than here.”

“What about the food? The zombies can’t get in, and we can’t get out.”

Lu Qiming had already planned it.

“There is a fire exit outside the vault door, which can go directly to the Sam’s Club supermarket on the 20th floor. The food inside is very sufficient. We can eat it for at least half a year.”

Jiang Miaomiao was overjoyed when she heard this, but she realized a problem.

“Nine times out of ten there are zombies in the building, we can’t get in and out freely, right?”

Lu Qiming nodded.

“Sure, but in any case, it’s much better than us sitting here and waiting to die, isn’t it?”

“Strong is strong, but…”

She bit her lip, wondering if she should tell the truth.

She doesn’t want to go out.

You may get food when you go outside, or you may die. Staying in the villa is at least still alive.

Even if they are lucky enough to reach the vault safely, will they really live better in the vault than they do now?

The furniture, home appliances, curtains, pots, and pans in the house were brought back by them with a little bit of hard work, and they finally turned an empty house into a decent home. She was reluctant to leave here.

When we arrive at the vault, what should she do with the electricity? What about going to the toilet? How about cooking and drinking water?

It’s all a problem.

But she couldn’t drag Lu Qiming’s hind legs, the other party survived only after dying, and she definitely wanted to continue to live.

Jiang Miaomiao thought for a while and said, “Your injury is too serious. After two more days of recuperation, we will set off, okay?”

Lu Qiming saw through her at a glance.

“You don’t want to go, do you?”

She lowered her head and said nothing.

He jumped over on one leg and hugged her.

“I know you’re scared, and I’m scared too, but you can’t give up when you’re alive. Let’s work hard together, with your stupid dog, maybe we can break out of the siege and survive. If it really doesn’t work, I have a knife on me, and I will give the three of us a good time then.”

Jiang Miaomiao raised her head, “but you are going to find your friend.”

He chuckled lightly and rubbed her hair, which she hadn’t had time to wash for days.

“You are my friend, you are by my side, who am I looking for?”

Jiang Miaomiao felt a wave in her body, and patted her heart lightly than hard, so she couldn’t help hugging him back and said firmly:

“Okay, let’s go together tomorrow.”

The two separated and made preparations for the move tomorrow before dark.

With limited physical strength, they can only bring a few things, so they can only pick the important ones.

Mobile phones, kindle, fully charged. This is their spiritual food.

The computer is too heavy to be used, and the home appliances and furniture cannot be moved at all, so they can only be abandoned.

Lu Qiming’s cigarettes are to be taken away, which are his lifeblood.

The pots and pans are nothing to bring, and the quilt can’t be taken.

Medicine is precious, and there are still unfinished steamed buns they can use over there.

Don’t need clothes, you must have underwear.

As for the shampoo, shower gel, etc… Even if you survive in the future, you may not have the chance to use it.

Jiang Miaomiao couldn’t help but smile bitterly when she thought she was about to live the hard life she had never wanted.

Lu Qiming jumped down the stairs on one leg and threw her a small cardboard box.

“Here, your baby.”

She opened it, and inside were aunt towels, face cream, diamond jewelry, and a USB FLASH drive with AV.

“Uh…these are useless.”

“Take it.” Lu Qiming said, “There aren’t many things anyway.”

She nodded and found two plastic bags to pack everything.

This is all their future possessions.

The night was coming. The two ate some soy sauce mixed with rice, hid in the bathroom early, and spent the night in a panic.

They chose to set off at noon when the sun was strongest, when there were the least zombies outside, and the greatest chance of survival.

But this was not enough. Lu Qiming found a towel and picked up a knife to cut it on his hand.

Jiang Miaomiao quickly stopped him.

“What are you doing?”

“Put some blood to attract zombies, so we don’t have to be surrounded by them as soon as you go out.”

“But you are all hurt like this… you can cut mine!”

She bravely stretched out her hand and placed it in front of his knife.

Lu Qiming was surprised, “Aren’t you afraid of pain?”

Afraid, when she cuts vegetables and her hands hurt to the point of crying and screaming. Now she bleeds directly with a knife. How could she not be afraid?

But Lu Qiming was so badly injured that there was no reason to let his blood go. She had to make some contributions.

“Come on!” Jiang Miaomiao said, gritting her teeth and closing her eyes.

Lu Qiming really didn’t have any extra physical strength, so he took her slender hand and slashed lightly.

The blood dripped into the towel and smeared, dyeing it bright red.

Jiang Miaomiao was shaking with pain. Lu Qiming touched her head, took a towel, and prepared to go upstairs.

“Let me do it, your feet are inconvenient.”

She dealt with the wound, snatched the towel, and went to the roof.

There is a small skylight on the roof, and she can see the solar panels when she climbs out.

Jiang Miaomiao was afraid of being discovered by the zombies, so she didn’t dare to show herself too much. She just poked her head out.

When she was about to throw it, she found something was wrong.

Where are the zombies?

The community was empty except for the bones that had been gnawed away before. There was not even a single zombie!

She quickly went downstairs and told Lu Qiming.

The latter couldn’t understand when he heard the words, so he jumped on one foot and followed her to the top. The two of them lay down by the skylight and watched for a long time. They searched all the places they could see and finally confirmed that there were really no zombies.

“My God, where did they go?”

Jiang Miaomiao murmured.

It should have been a good thing, but it was too abnormal, which made her even more flustered.

Lu Qiming squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, his gaze like a torch.

“Could it be that there are other people in the city, so where are they all gathered?”

“It’s possible……”

She was still thinking about zombies, and the other party suddenly patted her hand.

“Don’t think about it, act quickly, it’s not easy to leave when they come back.”

“We still have to go?”

“Otherwise? Stay here and starve?”

“……All right.”

Jiang Miaomiao threw the blood-stained towel out, helped Lu Qiming, carried the two bags of things, put on protective clothing, put a chainsaw on her back, tied a leash to the dog, and headed towards the World Trade Center.

Because Lu Qiming’s foot was injured, he couldn’t ride the bicycle, and she couldn’t carry him, so the two abandoned the bicycle and walked.

They didn’t even see the shadows of zombies on the road, which made people creepy, and they always felt that there was a huge danger waiting for them ahead.

The two of them and the dog traveled slowly, and after walking for nearly an hour in a short distance, they finally reached the World Trade Center.

This building has more than 80 floors and is a well-known landmark in the city.

Now it has been abandoned for half a year, weeds grow in the open space outside the door, and many glass windows are unmaintained, shattering in the storm, revealing the black lacquered windows, showing a dilapidated scene.

The two walked into the gate. While alert to the zombie attack, they shuttled through the huge building, looking for the vault Lu Qiming said.

“Meimu, follow closely.”

Jiang Meimu likes to smell everywhere. Jiang Miaomiao wanted to help Lu Qiming but couldn’t hold the dog. She had to drag the rope in her hand and urge Meimu to follow closely. The sound of talking echoed in the lobby.

“Here we are, this is it.”

Lu Qiming pointed to the front and said.

Jiang Miaomiao looked up and saw that there was a fire passage less than ten meters away.

The door was wide open, and the wind was constantly blowing, making people panic.

There were no lights inside. It was terribly dark and narrow.

In the case of zombies rushing out, they have no way to escape.

Jiang Miaomiao pinched her thigh and walked forward bravely.

Lu Qiming suddenly stopped and looked outside.

“What’s wrong?”

She asked.

“It’s raining.”

The raindrops fell on the ground, leaving behind small dark dots.

The dry city soon became humid, and the sky darkened.

Jiang Miaomiao’s first reaction was that it was raining, and their solar panels couldn’t be charged, so they had to save some electricity.

But then they realized that they no longer had to go home.

This is their new home.

The two went down to the first floor and found the vault, but they still didn’t encounter any zombies.

Lu Qiming took a flashlight and found the door of the vault. The door lock was obviously damaged. It is estimated that someone took advantage of the chaos when the zombies broke out.

They walked in on tiptoe, using the light of the flashlight to see the whole picture inside.

At most twenty square meters, the vault is not big, like a small room.

There are metal walls on all sides, which look very solid.

A circle of narrow air vents is on the top, and shelves are arranged on the ground.

The banknotes on the shelves have long been taken away, and several large pink banknotes are scattered on the ground.

Lu Qiming closed the door, held it against the shelf, and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Let’s rest for a while.”

The two sat on the floor. Lu Qiming’s wound was so painful because he was walking too far. He took out a cigarette and smoked.

Jiang Miaomiao thought back to the quietness along the way and always felt incredible.

“Will they evolve their IQ and prepare to hide and ambush us?”

“With so many zombies, ambush two people who add up to less than three hundred kilograms, as for? Don’t think about it, those who should come will always come, and those who shouldn’t come, can’t wait.”

Lu Qiming comforted her. She thought about it, too, put those messy thoughts behind her, and took a flashlight to check the environment in the vault.

Jiang Meimu stood in the corner, raised its hind legs, and peed on the wall.

She yelled, trying to say don’t sprinkle it in the house, but after thinking about it, she could only sprinkle it inside. It’s too dangerous to go outside.

She was a little excited when she went to the vault for the first time in her life.

Jiang Miaomiao checked intently, looking forward to discovering treasures, such as gold bars, and fulfilling her wish to get rich before she died.

It’s a pity that there is nothing to gain after looking around.

She was tired, so she returned to Lu Qiming and leaned on his shoulder.

Lu Qiming snuffed out the cigarette butts and said in a low voice:

“Take a night off and see the situation tomorrow. If the zombies haven’t appeared yet, we’ll go upstairs to get food.”

“Um.”

Jiang Miaomiao opened the bag containing the steamed bun slices and shared it with them.

After eating, she closed her eyes and rested. During this period, Lu Qiming also went to the corner to pee.

Jiang Miaomiao began to miss life in the villa. There is water and electricity, a toilet, a pot, a bed, and a quilt. What a comfortable life.

There is nothing here.

Why does her good life always pass so quickly?

Ugh.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Miaomiao felt inexplicably cold in her buttocks and was awakened.

Reach out and touch, and the palm is full of water.

Did she pee her pants? Impossible.

She turned on the flashlight to check carefully, was startled, and pushed Lu Qiming hard.

“Wake up! Wake up! Why is this room leaking?”

Almost soaked to the ankle!
