    In the next half hour, Wang Lu saw through the telescope four scenes of mutated zombies biting his relatives in the windows on the opposite floor. He also saw a security guard biting an old lady buying food in the driveway downstairs.  Her head was bitten off alive.

    There is nothing left to doubt.  The neurotic and absurd thought just now that the biochemical apocalypse is coming has become a living reality.

    In Wang Lu¡¯s college graduation album, the message to his classmates was, ¡°See you in the future, all my wives and children are in love.¡± In a word, he is an honest and ordinary soy sauce scholar.  He is also an editor for a government website. Living a stable life has always been his only way.

    "However, a man is a man after all. When a crisis comes, the first one to react is Wang Lu.

    I saw him throwing the binoculars on the bed and running out of the bedroom in a few steps. Soon, the sound of the security door card being locked came from the living room.  Then, there was a sound of churning in the kitchen, and Wang Lu's mumbling: "Potatoes, taro, cauliflower, green cauliflower, green vegetables"

    Chen Wei and her son Wang Bian looked at each other and got out of bed. Wang Bian quietly touched the telescope and wanted to look at the opposite building. Chen Wei happened to see it from the corner of her eye, grabbed the telescope and threw it on the desk.

    Chen Wei didn't bother to put on her slippers and ran barefoot across the living room. She happened to see Wang Lu holding a pile of potatoes and vegetables in his arms and struggling to open the refrigerator door.

    Chen Wei said anxiously: "Wang Lu! What are you doing? What time is it, why are you in charge of the kitchen? Hurry, hurry up"

    Without raising his head, Wang Lu stuffed the vegetables in his hand into the upper compartment of the refrigerator. Finally, there was a sprig of cauliflower that couldn't be stuffed in. He thought about it, took out a few sprigs of green vegetables, stuffed the cauliflower in, and closed the refrigerator door.  Then he turned around and said, "Let's go? Where are we going?"

    "Of course" Chen Wei only said half a sentence before she couldn't continue. Yeah, where are we going?

    Wang Lu spread his hands: "Have you seen "Resident Evil"? Have you seen "The Walking Dead"? At this time, the virus must have broken out in the whole city, no, it should be the whole world. Think about it, we are in the community,  It¡¯s not an area where people gather and interact the most, but some people still turn into zombies, which shows that outside, in places where people gather, the virus outbreak is more severe.¡±

    "It's daytime now, when there are the fewest people in residential areas. But outside, on the streets, in shopping malls, in office buildings, in schools, and in government departments, when there are crowds of people, once the virus breaks out, the infection is the fastest.  The place with the most dead people is outside." Wang Lu swallowed his saliva: "How can we run outside at this time?!"

    "But at home" Chen Wei said half a sentence before Wang Lu interrupted her: "Home is the safest place now. Don't worry, our house is not a Yankee's wooden house. This is a reinforced concrete residence.  Floor, we are on the top floor, and there is only one security door for entry and exit. Although the thing is made of iron, the zombies can't even get in with their teeth."

    Wang Lu said with a serious face: "How long we can stay in this relatively safe room depends on how much food and drink we have."

    Chen Wei then came to her senses: "No wonder you were in a hurry to put all the vegetables in the refrigerator."

    Wang Lu shook his head gently: "The refrigerator is only for temporary storage."

    "What do you mean?" Chen Wei asked strangely.

    Wang Lu cheered up: "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's look for something else to eat at home."

    The couple quickly collected the food at home, and there were quite a few things: two bags of rice, one of which had just been opened, two large bags of Master Kong beef noodles, and in addition to the vegetables that had just been put in, there were also three kilograms of rice in the refrigerator.  A piece of pork belly, four pounds of beef, a bag of frozen chicken wings, a piece of sauced meat, a piece of bacon, 3 pounds of sausages, four bags of frozen dumplings, a bag of soup dumplings, and a few bags of dried seafood.  This large amount of food is due to Wang Lu's habit. He likes to buy a large amount of vegetables at one time and then put them in the refrigerator to eat for four or five days. From previous experience, if you save some of these foods, you can eat them easily.  The first half of the month was no problem.

    Chen Wei clapped her fingers: "There are also some snacks in the living room, such as peanuts, beef jerky, melon seeds, chocolate, brown candies"

    "How many are there?" Wang Lu asked.

    "Well, I just bought some from my friend's supermarket yesterday, and the total cost was more than 500 yuan." Chen Wei was a little embarrassed - she had just been clamoring to lose weight a few days ago, but then she turned around and bought so many snacks.  No way, when watching American TV series, I always like to stuff snacks into my mouth while watching.

    Wang Lu shook his head: "These things won't fill your stomach, but they have a long shelf life. Keep them and eat them slowly. Eat all the fresh vegetables first."

    While the two were talking, Wang Lu suddenly slapped his forehead: "??Forgot the water.  "With that said, he hurried to the bathroom, opened the faucet of the shower room, and water gushed out. He breathed a sigh of relief, quickly closed it, turned to Chen Wei who was following him and said, "Quick, get all the buckets and basins.  .  "

    There are not many buckets and basins at home, just two buckets and two washbasins. One of them is the small washbasin Wang Bi'an used when he was a child, and it quickly filled up with water.

    Wang Lu took stock: "There are two barrels of bottled water in the living room. In addition, the water in the solar water heater is full, and the water in the electric water heater in the bathroom is also full. I have closed both ends of these two pipes.  As the last emergency water source." Speaking of which, buying both an electric water heater and a solar water heater was Wang Lu's stupid idea when he was renovating it, because Chen Wei once said that he wanted to take a bath in the tub of a semi-pedestal shower room.  Lu estimated that the water from a solar water heater would not be enough for a bathtub, so he simply added an additional electric water heater in the bathroom, and connected the upper and lower water heaters with pipes.  Unexpectedly, the oversized water tanks of these two water heaters have now been put to life-saving use.

    Chen Wei was a little strange: "What are you doing with so much water? The tap water is not cut off."

    Wang Lu sighed: "I don't know how many days this tap water can be used. I don't know how long the water plant can run automatically if no one manages it, but one thing is for sure. There must be a virus outbreak in the water plant now."  , and the running water will be cut off sooner or later."

    Chen Wei was anxious: "Is the water in our house enough?"

    Wang Lu gritted his teeth: "I'll think of another way."

    The trick Wang Lu came up with was to use his son's plasticine to block the semi-pedestal shower room, the kitchen sink, and the sewer outlet of the washbasin, then put water in it, and then put water in the washing machine.  Whether the water will leak or not, God knows.

    Chen Wei, on the other hand, dug out all the cups, bowls, pots, and pots in the house and filled them all with water. Even plastic bags were used to store water. Finally, the couple looked at the various water storage containers placed on the floor of the living room.  Utensils, then I feel more at ease.

    Chen Wei looked at the refrigerator, the kitchen, and the water filling the living room, "Husband, tell me, how long can we last with this food and water."

    Wang Lu grimaced: "I don't know." He looked at Chen Wei and said, "I really don't know, because I don't know when the pipeline gas will be cut off, and I don't know when the electricity will be cut off."

    Chen Wei opened her mouth and suddenly understood, just like water plants will cut off water if no one manages them, petrochemical plants and power plants will not last long if no one manages them.

    Wang Lu scratched his head: "Oh, it's better to use gas bottles before. One bottle of gas can last for more than half a month. Nowadays, pipeline gas is convenient, but if the source is cut off, the whole city will be without gas."

    Chen Wei turned around and walked towards the refrigerator without saying a word.

    Wang Lu chased after him and asked, "What are you doing?"

    Chen Wei said without looking back: "I have cooked all the meat and raw food in the refrigerator now. By the way, I also need to cook some rice. I can't eat raw food by then."

    Wang Lu muttered: "The power is out, and there's nothing in the refrigerator."

    Chen Wei turned back and glared at him: "As long as the door is closed in the ice room, we can survive for a few days. At this time, we can only survive one day at a time."

    One day is a day that you can live.  Yes, in this end of life, what more can you ask for?
