Shen Shian woke up suddenly due to an alarm sound. In the moment of confusion, he thought it was the child who played with his mobile phone and accidentally set an alarm. But in a flash, he was completely awake and took his phone out of the backpack as fast as possible.

At this time it was more than twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the stars outside the window became more dim, and even the hoarse howling of the zombie army seemed to be much lower. In the silent reading room on the second floor, the loud alarm sounded like thunder, and it instantly woke up most of the people.

Someone looked to Shen Shian's direction and said, "Why are you waking people up in the middle of the night?"

“Is the phone ringing? Isn't phone have no signal?”

“Someone called? Can I contact the outside world now?"

“Mr. Shen, did someone call you? “

” … “

Shen Xun was also awakened, rubbing his eyes, he sat on the tatami, “An An?”

Shen Shian wanted to answer him, but he was now focusing on his phone. His eyes were slightly shocked when he saw the incoming call. He then slid on the key, "…Hey, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Jingchen's familiar voice at the other end sounded, probably because of poor signal, the sound was vague and off, with a bit of rustling noise, ” …… An An, An An, can you … listen to me? “

Shen Shian clenched the phone case subconsciously. “I can, I can hear, how is the situation over you, are you injured?”

“… I'm fine, I'm not infected … the virus,” Gu Jingchen sounded almost crying, “I received your … message …, you and Xun Xun{note1} … where? Are you safe?”

Note 1: A nickname for Shen Xun

“Everything is good with Shen Xun. Now it's safe. Don't worry about it,” Shen Shian briefly explained the current situation of himself and the child, and then he asked another important question besides Mr. Gu's safety, “Did you find Mr. Fan's family? Is there any news about them? “

“His daughter … Is okay, live in … Gu's house … It's safe, I will continue to take care of her, don't worry… His wife has been … zombie after the virus was spread … I sent someone to bring her body back … Buried in … “

A stone seemed to fall to Shen Shian's heart and sank down.

Mrs. Fan had been infected with the flu before the outbreak. Although he knew that her chances of survival were extremely low, he was still a little bit uncomfortable when he heard the news. Fan Guoping was still worried about his wife's safety when his life was about to come to an end, but he didn't know that his wife had completely passed away before him, and how the world was impermanent and cruel.

Fortunately, his daughter Fan Xintong is still alive. Shen Shian kept his promise in mind and he would do everything in his power to protect the child's safety.

When they heard that Shen Shian's phone was connected, the whole library boiled instantly. When they escaped from the plane crash, they were very hasty. Some people didn't have time to bring their phone. Some people brought their phone but not the charger. The phone was turned off, and the rest had both a mobile phone and fortunately a battery. All of them took out their mobile phones and madly tried to contact the outside world.

The rustling noise in Shen Shian's mobile phone suddenly became louder, and Gu Jingchen's voice on the other side became more and more blurred, fragmented, and seemed to be interrupted all the time. The other party should also be aware of this, because Mr. Gu's speaking speed suddenly accelerated, “… An An … Beijing city … disorder … more than dead … uncontrollable, Qin family … military … you must be carefull … The rescue team … soon … pick you up …”

"Beep…"

While Mr. Gu finished speaking, there was only a long, meaningless busy tone on the phone. The call was dropped.

Shen Shian called back immediately, but no matter how many times he tried, he couldn't connect again.

Other survivors failed to make any calls. At this time, seeing Shen Shian ended the call, all people came to him immediately. “Mr. Shen, are you in touch with the outside world? Who called you? ? What did he say? Is the rescue team going to come soon? How about the rest of the disaster? The zombie virus outbreak? Why couldn't our phone get through?…"

The swarming almost made Shen Shian drown. He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then hugged the child who was on his leg, "The call was made by my father. He and I exchanged information about each other's current situation. In Beijing, the virus also broke out. The situation is not more optimistic than H city. Now that the communication network has collapsed due to the overload of data, it should be an accident that my phone was able to connect to his phone. It's like being in an old forest in the mountains and receiving signal, I don't know how many times Mr. Gu has tried to make this call."

Everyone was anxious and couldn't be quiet. They tried to get more information from Shen Shian, but Shen Shian himself had very limited information and couldn't answer more questions. So after more than 20 minutes, the survivors could only be disappointed. They reluctantly returned to their original positions.

Before leaving, several people expressed the hope that they could borrow Shen Shian's mobile phone and continue to try. Shen Shian thought about it and agreed. His mobile phone was replaced after the accident. There was no personal information in it. After checking it, he lent them his phone. They will return it tomorrow morning.

Hopeful people are more suitable for living together than hopeless people.

Startled by the call, the survivors couldn't sleep for a short time. Someone turned on the radio function in the mobile phone, carefully switched the frequency, and tried to receive messages from the outside. No matter how they tuned it, the mobile phone always received a rustling electronic noise.

“I used to listen to the radio every night,” said the middle-aged man who turned on the radio, “But I haven't heard one since the virus broke out. No matter which channel, none is working. Maybe it's because many people had become zombies. But the tower receiving station is still there, how can it suddenly be broken?"
