Chapter 88: A Small Family Of Three

Zhang ChangHao leans on the side. Placing one of his hands on his cheek, and stares at Hui MengYu on the side.

Hui MengYu was humming an unknown song. Smiling as he plants a seed inside the flower pot. Zhang ChangHao didn't know the song he was humming or the seed he was planting, but he is happy to see Hui MengYu happy.

Hui MengYu dug out some small holes and threw three seeds each. Then he covered them and water them.

They were strawberry seeds and were growled from inside his space. Although he could go into the system space. He didn't want to go into the system space right now, and he didn't have any time by himself to go too.

So he just didn't bother.

Hugging the pot that is filled with dirt, the sunshine shine in like a golden halo. Hui MengYu didn't feel hot as the window is closed and the air conditioner in the car was on.

Zhang ChangHao moved over and hugged Hui MengYu.

_______________

They stopped at a small town, the sun was burning brightly as the grass on the road went dry. Many plants slowly turn yellow.

Few human-like figures wobbly walked about under the intense sunlight.

Growling in a low pitch.

The woman in a house hugged her baby daughter in her arm. She was shivering as she slow her breathing.

She had survived for so long. She had to take her daughter out of here. Even if she dies….

Xiá Qiū looked up at her mother, she was skinny. Xiá Qiū hugged her mother silently shed tears. But her mother's bumping heart and petting kept her from really crying out loud.

Xiá Jùn knew that they are running out of food. Most of the townspeople had been bitten. Xiá Jùn wanted to go help kill zombies and take his mother and sister out of here but, he is still a child and doesn't have a lot of strength to even injure one.

They were a small family of three, Xiá Róng, a single mother of two. Her husband had died long ago. She worked as a nurse in this small town she was born in, shifting between her job and her kids trying to be a good mother while earning enough to let them go to a good college in the future.

When the apocalypse suddenly happen, the first thing she did was run home. Xia Jun didn't go to school because he was sick while Xia Qiu was just 4. So they are all at home. Luckily that her job place wasn't far and got home without being bitten.

But then they soon had to face a problem. Food, while there is a lot of food, that it'll last for a few months. They have quite a few town people that need food too.

Elderly's die first then soon became the weak ones who couldn't fight.

She, herself ate the least to store more food for her children. A few months pass and they run out of food. Zombies outside the house got more crowded as they smell. While they can't break in yet, the door won't hold for forever. She needs to find someone to entrust the kids too fast. She doesn't have the strength to kill any zombies because she is starving and physically weak.

Had she known her laziness to work out would kill her, she would have exercised more…

The roaring of zombies outside the door soon becomes louder. Each thump made her heart jump faster.

Xia Rong quickly got up and hid her children.

"Xiao Jun, if mommy is screaming. Don't go out alright? Mommy will be fine! Stay here okay? There are still some crackers and water in here!" She said rushingly as she took out a lock. She put her child underneath her living room. It was a storage room but now she needs to hide them.

While she locked it from the outside, if they pushed from the inside, they can have enough space to unluckily the lock. She stuff the key into her son's hand and got up.

"Close it!" She said as she pick up a kitchen knife.

Just then, the door broke. An lv1 zombie rushed in pouncing onto her.

"Ah!" Xia Rong wasn't ready for the zombie to jump at her. The knife cut the zombie but it only cut a bit of his arm.

The zombie didn't feel anything and grabbed her.

____

A soldier shot a small fireball at the zombies walking around aimlessly laughing at the shot they took. Zhang ChangHao looked at them and orders them to find a house to live in for the night.

Hui MengYu stares at his plant that was planted a few hours ago. And looked in a direction suddenly. He faintly heard something.

How Weird.
