Dangerous Survival in the Apocalypse Chapter 22 part2

Other foods such as high-calorie and easy-to-carry candies, biscuits, bread, instant noodles, etc were not taken. There were three or four neighborhoods around the supermarket. Whether the survivors in the community fled or stayed at home to wait for rescue, this supermarket was the only place for them to get supplies. He was not lacking in food, and there were many opportunities to get supplies along the road. There was no need to empty this place.

In addition to food, he took a few daily necessities, two blenders, three soup pots, grabbed five rice cookers, took ten portable mobile phone power banks, lunchboxes, water bottles, glass wares, and finally, all the seeds that were found in the supermarket were placed in the space.

While picking up these items, Shen Shian would calculate the prices in his mind. If the zombie apocalypse is controlled quickly, the supermarket will be reopened and he will come to settle the payment.

When he got home, he connected all the rice cookers to electricity and started cooking. He took a large amount of tomato juice from the space, put the fresh chicken and duck into the pressure cooker, stewed the fish, some were steamed or braised, he stir fried the frozen meat and vegetables, and found an earthenware pot to make the ketchup. 

The rest of the food, plus all the food that needed to be processed in the supermarket, were cooked into food that could be eaten immediately. He was not worried about the problem of whether the tap water could be drunk or not because water in the capital city was subject to strict filtration and disinfection system, and water sources cannot be the way of spreading the flu virus. Otherwise, it means that all rivers and lakes in the world were contaminated by the virus at the same time. This is tantamount to the Arabian Nights. Taking a step back, even if there was the flu virus in the water, he had been drinking it for more than a month. Since nothing happened, he had sufficient defense ability against the virus. In the absence of the carrier nutrients, the flu virus in the water cannot be mutated into a zombie virus.

In addition to this, there is another reason why Shen Shian said he could drink the water.

Shen Shian carefully controlled electrical appliances so that they would not be overloaded, put on the apron and kept busy in the kitchen, and the house was quickly filled with attractive food aroma.

The child swallowed his saliva and swung back and forth behind him. Shen Shian simply tore the roast duck leg, took his phone out and edited a text message sent to Mr. Gu, which detailed his current situation and plans and asked the other party to inquire about the news of Mr. Fan's mother and daughter and to take care of them. Then he let Shen Xun sit on the sofa and try to send it again and again.

He didn't know if it was his good luck or his strong hand. Shen Shian sat on the sofa for two hours, and finally the message was sent. Shen Shian immediately tried to make a phone call, but there was still the busy tone. He looked at the message "Sent successfully" under the message for a long time, and finally took a long breath.

It was always a good thing to be able to send it out. If Mr. Gu can see it, then the safety of Mr. Fan's mother and daughter will undoubtedly increase.

Shen Shian stayed up all night and spent a full day and a half cooking all the food before dark. Rice was put into the lunch boxes, poured into the cooked dishes to make rice bowls, the steamed buns are heated, the water bottles were filled with tomato juice, ketchup is kept inside a sealed box, and the chicken and duck soup was directly sent to the second floor of the bamboo house. The time in the space is stagnant. When it was sent in, it was still steaming and when it was taken out, it would still be steaming.

With so many types of food, it was enough for him and his child to eat for more than a month. And he hadn't even counted the sausages that were piled up into hills.

In addition, he took all the things that could be used in the house into the space. There were four rooms on the first floor of the bamboo house. Besides the study and the hall, there was a bedroom with a bed carved out of solid wood and a mahogany wardrobe. There was a vacant room behind the hall, and a bamboo forest facing the back of the house. Shen Shian was planning to use it as a kitchen. The sofa and coffee table is taken into the hall, the pots and pans are put in the kitchen, the laundry, the quilt pillow, mattress, bed, stool are taken into the bedroom.

Various kinds of sundries, professional books and medical tools left by his grandfather that he was so eager to find out, even the dog kennel and dog food that was bought a few months ago. Shen Xun insisted on bringing it together, and he was convinced that “An An bought it for me”.

It was almost like the entire family moved into the space.

Originally, he did try to think of placing the whole house in the space, but it failed. It seemed that the things that could be placed inside were also limited by the quality and the volume of the items.

As for his mother's ashes and relics, they were carefully stored in the bookshelf of the study. Since the book was merged with him, the bookshelf was empty.

After all the things have been finished, considering that the steel pipe obtained from the dissection room has been deformed, Shen Shian took out the carefully selected solid wood mop stick from the supermarket, and tied a watermelon knife with long aloe vera thorns. He made a new weapon. There were a lot of such thorns. In addition to the two-story aloe vera that still grows in the space, he also cut a lot of orange juice aloe before. The thorns after the mutation were not only long, but also extremely hard. The effect should not be much worse than the metal of the steel, and it was suitable to be made into a weapon to attack the zombies.

As for the long sword on the second floor of the bamboo building, it was too eye-catching. Shen Shian was not going to take it out for the time being.

On the night before leaving his house, he made a big meal for himself and Shen Xun, oily prawns, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, cola chicken wings, silken sweet potatoes, fresh bamboo shoots and duck soup were all what the child liked.

Shen Xun was so excited that when the dish hadn't been served, he had already swallowed his saliva. When the food finally arrived, he immediately climbed onto his special chair. “Do we really have to leave after eating this meal?"

Shen Shian "…"

Well that's right but it sounded so unlucky.

Shen Shian raised his hand and gave him a chicken wing, “After eating, have a good rest and we'll go to the city center tomorrow morning.”

There were two reasons for going to the city center. One was to further replenish the materials. The food in the space was enough. But if they wanted to travel long distances to the capital, there were still many preparations to be done. The simplest example was that the child's clothes and shoes were not enough.

Another more important reason was that he had to go to the city library in the city center. There was a detailed map of the provinces and cities of the country in the city library. If navigation is no longer available, and he had no map to determine the route and location, he estimated that he would get lost as soon as he left the city.

Shen Xun had no opinions, just follow An An. There were so many dead bodies outside, he had to protect the safety of An An.

At five o'clock in the morning of April 5th, on the third day of the zombie virus outbreak, the night light in the bedroom suddenly went out, and the whole city was caught in a deep darkness.

Two hours later, Shen Shian took Shen Xun to the underground garage and got in the car. The powerful engine roared and then settled smoothly, and entered the unpredictable unknown.

At the same time, on the provincial road hundreds of kilometres away from H city, Yun Feiyang woke up from the back seat of the car and had a long yawn with a thin blanket of wool on his body.

“Fortunately, An An let us bring a blanket, or else it would be too cold at night. Who knew that it would be so cold in April.” After the mourning, he greeted Mo Feng in the driver's seat.

Yun Feiyang, "If you're tired, switch places with me." Mo Feng stared at the front of his field of vision, calmly adjusted the direction according to the road conditions, shook his head "Not tired. There are more vehicles and wandering zombies in this section. After this, I will switch with you.”

“Ai” Yun Feiyang simply responded, opening a bag and began to eat to replenish his physical strength. He also gave some melon seeds to Ruibao. While eating, he couldn't help but think about Shen Shian, "Fortunately, An An had prepared so much food for us to eat. Otherwise, we will have to suffer a lot to find food."

After leaving the city, the two people discovered that the disaster after the outbreak of the virus was far more serious than they thought. There were damaged vehicles and wandering zombies everywhere. They didn't dare to approach the towns and other places where residents gather, and even the supermarkets at the rest stations were flocked with zombies. The shortcomings of the Chinese population far exceeding the norm were reflected at this time.

While paying attention to the road conditions, Mo Feng said, “You have a good relationship with Mr. Shen.”

“Of course, the two of us can still be brothers if not relatives.” Yun Feiyang's words wouldn't stop once he had started. "Don't look at An An's usual temperament, his whole appearance is cold but his heart is soft. Like a juice-filled jelly that is frozen in the refrigerator, you know, although it is cold and hard outside, but the inside is soft and sweet after biting.” He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Mo Feng didn't know how to respond, and hummed.

Yun Feiyang continued to chatter, “You know that An An has a code of conduct to do a good deed everyday. I am with him because of this understanding. It was An An's mother, Ms. Shen, who made an agreement with An An before her death. She hoped that he will be optimistic, doesn't hate others, and learn to love." He clicked his tongue, "I am not afraid to tell you, when I first heard about this matter, I thought that Ms. Shen was too much, you know. An An had suffered a lot from childhood, but he still has to be optimistic."

 Speaking here, he paused, and then sighed.

“It wasn't until Grandfather Shen passed away that I realized why Ms. Shen had to make such an agreement with An An. An An's relationship with Grandfather Shen was particularly good, and Grandfather Shen was his last living relative, so he was particularly hard hit. Plus there was a rumor about Ms. Shen that was spread by people who loved to badmouth others and that his curses could kill people. So, his mood became very unstable, and his pair of eyes were blood red then."

Until today, whenever he thought back, Yun Feiyang still had a lingering fear.

“And then there was another incident, during the seven days {note1} of grandfather Shen death, I accompanied An An at home. Someone sent a pot of flowers and said that it was specially ordered by a customer in Beijing. Although no name was left, Mr. Gu would not be anonymous with An An, and the only one left is Mrs. Gu {note2}. The first seven flowers, the chrysanthemum, the white tea, the white rose {note3}. What's not good is that stinky woman actually sent a pot of good fortune. She has no morality to be bullying a child!"

{note1: There is a Chinese tradition to wait/mourn for 7 days when a family member died.}
{note2: Aka Mrs. Qin.}
{note3: All those flowers meaning are almost the same: Longevity, sympathy.}

Yun Feiyang was so angry that he punched a fist in the passenger seat. “This kind of thing happened to An An. I can't stand it. How can she be so bad? An An was sitting on the sofa. I didn't say anything, he stared at the pot of flowers and watched it all day. When I was about to turn on the lights outside because it was dark, he suddenly laughed. Brother Mo, can you imagine, laughing loudly, that's it. A very soft smile, it sent shivers down my spine."

“From that moment I understood.” Yun Feiyang looked faint, ” Ms. Shen asked An An not to hate others, but to try to find someone who can let him love. It is not to say that being faithful is stupid, it is that all sentient beings live for the sake of others, and that they have not forgiven what Mrs. Gu had done to her. But for Ms. Shen, these were not important. The most important thing was to let An An live as easily and happily as possible, and not to entangle or hate. These were the things of the older generation. She did not want An An to carry this heavy burden for the rest of his life, I also hope that hatred will not make An An blind to other beautiful things. A good day is when there is a way to break through the self-freeze and release kindness to the outside world. The kindness that is released will make many happy, and you can always get a little happiness."

This was a mother, even before dying, she gave her son the last protection.

There was a long silence in the compartment.

“Live well.” Mo Feng suddenly said, “Didn't you say that you like Shen Shian like a brother would? Then you are also his family. As long as you lived well, you can always meet again one day.”

 Ruibao jumped to the co-driver's seat and flapped its wings, “Hello Baby, goodbye baby.”

 Yun Feiyang laughed, leaning forward and touching the bird's head and patted Mo Feng's shoulder, “We can do it."
