Darkness descended upon the city, and on the fifth day since the outbreak of the epidemic, the entire Yang City suddenly plunged into darkness. Some power grid had failed, and the city was in complete darkness.
Inside the underground parking lot, there was a sturdy RV that stood out among the smaller cars. It had been parked there for five days without any sign of movement. In the darkness, some people couldn't help but become restless.
However, just as the eyes in the shadows were watching closely, the silent Type A RV suddenly started its engine.
"Vroom, vroom!" Two sounds, and two bright beams of light pierced through the darkness of the underground parking lot.
The parking lot attendants had long joined the "Parking Lot Zombie Patrol," which had become a futile checkpoint. It couldn't withstand even the slightest pressure.
The RV started, and with a sense of determination as if finally seeing the light, it drove out of the parking lot, leaving those who had been secretly observing it in shock.
Who could have imagined that there had been people living in the RV all along?
Fortunately or unfortunately, they had chosen to leave on the very day when others were planning to take action, taking away their only hope and cutting off their chance of survival!
The parking lot was no longer the scene of scattered zombies from a few days ago. The source of the mysterious epidemic seemed to spread by some unknown means, and people continued to undergo mutations for several days. In addition, those who had attempted to leave the city by car due to the mutations had no choice but to join the ever-growing "patrol team" in the parking lot, as they were unable to break through.
As a result, the dimly lit parking lot had turned into a living hell, and the survivors, who had no support, could only close off the road from the underground parking lot to the upper floors and wait for rescue. But when would that rescue come? Would it come at all? Was there still hope for rescue?
With these doubts and anxieties, Zheng Lanxin rechecked the doors and windows of her home and glanced at the apartment complex downstairs. The elderly neighbors who used to gather downstairs to chat and play cards were now wandering around, searching for prey.
She furrowed her brows and was about to retreat and find something to do when she heard an embarrassed inquiry from the neighboring balcony.
"Is that you, Xiao Zheng?"
It was the voice of Wang Lao Tai Tai (Mrs. Wang), and Zheng Lanxin had heard the strange noises coming from her house a few days ago. Later, it seemed that she had been subdued by Mrs. Wang's two sons.
However, when Zheng Lanxin thought about the strange symptoms, she couldn't help but shudder. She quickly adjusted her mask, closed the balcony door, and pretended not to hear Mrs. Wang, for fear of being infected.
But it seemed that Mrs. Wang had heard the movement from Zheng Lanxin's balcony. She was joyfully calling out, "Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng."
Zheng Lanxin thought about ignoring her, but then she heard Mr. Wang's eldest son quietly calling from outside, and in an old residential building like this, the balconies were separated only by a wall. If a young, able-bodied person wanted to, it wouldn't be too difficult to climb over.
Zheng Lanxin hesitated and then pulled down her mask, reluctantly opened the balcony door, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Xiao Zheng, are you at home? Are you okay? What about Yi Yi and Junsheng? Are they trapped in school?" Mr. Wang asked, concerned.
After expressing her concern, Mrs. Wang's eldest son and daughter-in-law quickly pulled him back into the house.
Zheng Lanxin heard their conversation through the wall and realized that they were concerned about her situation. She couldn't help but snort and forced a fake smile, "Xiao Liu, I was just about to ask you, do you have any food left at home? I noticed that you usually buy a lot of snacks, so you should have some left, right?"
"You have a man at home to rely on. If you run out of food, you can go out and find some. Unlike me, a woman alone, I dare not go out. I've already finished all the food at home, and the tap water is too dirty to drink. What if I turn into a monster too? What will happen to my Junsheng at home?"
"Xiao Lan, you can rest assured. The government won't abandon us," Mrs. Wang reassured her.
With a sigh, Zheng Lanxin took a deep breath and whispered to herself as she stared at her hands, "They said they would come to pick me up, but when will they come? How come Junsheng went with that girl, Jianyi?"
And about her bank card... when Junsheng returned, she would definitely interrogate him to find out who ordered him to steal her bank card. That guy had some nerve!
