Before, Fu Erdie could ventilate the house every day and blow the heat waves to bring fresh air into the house, but now she no longer dares to open the windows at all.

Some bugs would enter the house along the natural gas pipes and range hood pipes. She had to kill and clean the house every day and spray air freshener.

The only good thing is that it has been twenty days and her small house has not yet been cut off from water, electricity, and gas.

The water she stored was useless and she used clean water from the tap every day.

On June 26, at three o’clock in the morning, a harsh message alert sounded, and then, every device sounded various alert tones.

Fu Erdie stood up suddenly and immediately saw the important news popping up on the screen lock page of his phone.

It turned out that everyone’s network was temporarily restored under the government’s emergency repairs.

Official websites, portals, mobile operators, all channels push it simultaneously, announcing the news of the coming apocalypse, bases to escape to, and radio channels to listen to.

Fu Erdie only had time to take a screenshot before receiving call notifications from various devices.

She has a total of four mobile phones, an Android, an Apple, an e-book, and a flip phone that can only make calls.

Just in case, all electronic devices at home are kept fully charged and can respond immediately as soon as there is a signal.

The flip-top backup machine is used when she needs a quiet retreat.

At that time, only computers and drawing boards were left, without any social software. The smartphone was turned off, and contact could only be made through a flip-top standby.

Only those closest to her know her number.

At this time, several mobile phones rang at the same time. Fu Erdie instantly picked up the flip phone and rushed to the bedroom to close the door to isolate other noisy sounds.

“Hey.” She lowered her voice eagerly.

There was a whimper and a familiar cry came from the other side: “My daughter…my daughter, you are still alive!”

“mom!”

Fu Erdie’s eyes turned red instantly.

On the other end of the phone, my father’s urgent voice came: “How are you now? Are you safe?”

“Safety.”

Fu Erdie quickly explained his situation: “We have water and electricity, and we have enough food at home.”

Dad wanted to say hello, but mom interrupted in time.

Even though she was still sobbing, her thoughts were clear.

“To make a long story short, while you have internet now, download the map quickly. If you have a printer at home, print out the map. In addition to the national map, there are also detailed maps along the way from City C to City H. Your dad has already started downloading it, so hurry up and download it too. !”

Fu Erdie quickly agreed and started preparations in an orderly manner amidst the chaos.

Another mobile phone, grandma’s phone, also rang. She turned on the speakerphone and answered both calls at the same time.

Grandma’s current situation is fine for the time being. She was already on her way to the countryside with her aunt and cousin.

And my uncle turned into a zombie on the first day of the apocalypse. The family forced him to the balcony and narrowly escaped being scratched.

Fu Erdie has always disliked her uncle who always likes to lie. At this time, she doesn’t feel sad at all. She is just glad that her grandmother and aunt are safe.

The only problem is that my grandma is over eighty years old and has a lot of illnesses, big and small. She usually goes to the community hospital every week for regular injections.

Now I’m running for my life, even if I bring bottles of medicine with me, but I can’t get injections, plus I’m scared, the situation is very bad now.

“Grandma, relax. I’m doing well at home and have a lot of food.”

Fu Erdie deliberately made the situation sound fair: “Although you always said that I eat junk food before, I still secretly stocked up on several large boxes of instant noodles. I also bought several large boxes of dried pork during an e-commerce event a while ago. , chicken breast, I eat so well now! I’m safe at home and can even watch TV.”

Grandma was amused by Fu Erdie.

The greetings and laughter were short-lived, because she was on the road, and all the power was charged by the charging cable in the car. More electricity needs to be used sparingly.

My parents are still on the phone.

They have been stationed in an emerging industrial zone in City H for a long time.

This industrial area used to be a very remote rural area, but now it has become a large factory area, still spacious and sparsely populated. The survivors here don’t have to run for their lives. They just need to unite to fight the zombies, and they can get a little bit of stability.

Moreover, City H is a major grain-producing city with sufficient sunlight and widespread use of solar energy.

The small independent villa they rent has solar panels and solar lights, which can be recharged after modification.

The only problem is that the water pipe burst and they closed the water gate in the villa complex, so you need to go outside to get water.

But no matter what, compared to others, my parents’ situation is already very good.

“If your father has nothing to do now, he will ride his bicycle to the gas station to pick up gasoline. When we have enough gasoline, we will go back to pick you up!” Mom said.

Fuerdie’s nose felt sore.

Sure enough, even if the whole world abandoned her, her parents would not abandon her.

No one wants to die.

Everyone wants to live a few more days.

But she couldn’t ask her parents to travel thousands of miles to pick her up at the end of the day.

“Mom, don’t come to pick me up.”

Fu Erdie said with difficulty but calmly: “Unless I can have super powers like those apocalyptic novels, I won’t drag you down.”

“How can it be a drag?” Cao Bingqing immediately interrupted, “Your father and I are in our fifties and sixties. No matter what, our energy is not as good as that of you young people! It will be much easier for us if you come!”

Fu Erdie couldn’t tell that this was just her mother’s persuasion.

“If you don’t have enough energy, you can’t even travel thousands of miles to pick me up.”

“What will you do if I don’t pick you up? None of your relatives will care about you, and your friends won’t care about you. If we don’t come, you…” Cao Bingqing said and started sobbing again.

Fu Chenghong took the phone and his tone was rare and ferocious: “Don’t think about these things. Live well, we must come to pick it up!”

Fu Erdie stopped downloading various documents and said resolutely: “If you come to pick me up, I will jump off the sixteenth floor right now!”

The people on the other end of the phone don’t look like father and daughter, they look like enemies who hate each other.

Fu Erdie often feels that she has inherited all the shortcomings of her parents. Like her mother, she is pessimistic about reality, and like her father, she is stubborn about decisions.

Mom is pessimistic, but resilient, has life experience and wisdom, and is more decisive than dad when making decisions.

Dad is stubborn, but he will also grit his teeth and persevere for a goal.

She inherited the pessimism and stubbornness of her parents and did not learn to be courageous and persistent.

She’s a complete loser.

Others will not want her, and she will not drag others down.

Even if this “other people” refers to one’s own family.

Both sides were deadlocked and silent for a long time. It was my mother who suppressed her sourness and broke the silence: “Then, you can rest assured at home. But you must save food and hold on as long as you can. We got off the map, and you got off too. We You can come and stay in the small rented villa for a summer vacation, and you can find it when you come back in the future.”

“No matter when, never give up hope.”
