The third day after the power outage.

Li Jie's family spent three days without electricity in panic. During these three days, the city gradually became quieter. The roar of cars never heard again. From time to time, there were screams downstairs, which made people panic.

In the corridor, occasionally someone rushed out of the house because his family was infected, and the family members who followed him were like wild beasts, tearing and biting, accompanied by wailing and calling, and gradually disappeared.

Just yesterday morning, gas supplies were also stopped.

Yesterday, Li Jie's mother relied on the canned food and bread stored at home to cook two meals for everyone. However, canned food, which has a long storage time and is not easy to spoil, must be preserved first! You have to find a way to solve the cooking problem as soon as possible!

Going to the toilet, which is usually easy, has become more difficult. Without water flushing, the smell in the bathroom can smoke people! The smell of excrement can be smelled throughout the house!

All this means that Li Jie's family can't stay at home. It is necessary to open up the living space!

What worries Li Jie the most is that his mobile phone is about to run out of battery. The remaining 30% of the power makes Li Jie extremely insecure! No electricity means you can't get the supplies you need to survive from your phone!

There is only one Lanmi mobile power bank at home, and there is only 1 grid of power left! Li Jie knocked on his head hatefully, why didn't he think of fully charging the power bank for a long time!!

Although he also understands that this is useless, how many times can a mere power bank be used?

Li Jie called his parents and wife, and in their puzzled eyes, he said: "Parents, we can't hide here all the time, we have to think of a way!" ”

As soon as Li Jie's mother, Xie Xiaoli, heard her son's words, she immediately understood that her son wanted to go out. Emotions suddenly lost control: "No! I'm not going to let you out! Woo woo...... "She was scared and glad in her heart. The fear is that the epidemic has spread to such an extent, and there is no national rescue, I don't know if there is any hope, and I don't know what to do next; Fortunately, in the early stage of the epidemic, I came to my son's house, the family was reunited, and the family was also angry, and no one was infected! How many times stronger than those out there!?

At this moment, when I heard my son want to go out, I immediately thought of the scene of being bitten and devoured these days, where can I control it for a while!

Zeng Pei also looked uneasy, didn't say anything, but squeezed Li Jie's hand tightly and didn't let go.

Li Jie felt her uneasiness at the moment from his wife's trembling hands. He didn't say anything, but turned to look at his father.

Li Jianguo lit a cigarette, frowned, was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and said: "If it goes on like this, I really can't stay at home, and there is not much water, so I really have to find a way!" After taking a few puffs of the cigarette in his hand, he pressed the cigarette butt on the ashtray and asked Li Jie: "What are your plans!" ”

Li Jie said: "Now we can't cook at home, we can't eat raw!" I want to look inside the building, see who is empty, find a way to get in, tear down the furniture or something, and come back to cook on the fire! Again, let's see who has bottled water and borrow it! Moreover, the phone is running out of battery soon, and I want to find out who has a power bank! ”

When her mother-in-law Han Caixia heard this, she asked puzzledly: "What do you want a mobile power bank for, now the mobile phone has no signal!" ”

Father-in-law Zeng patriotically said: "You don't know, don't talk nonsense, there is no signal now, in case the country starts to rescue, there is a mobile base station, then there will be a signal!" ”

Li Jie nodded yes. He began to hesitate to tell me if he could extract something from the game! With the shortage of supplies, he can't hold a golden bowl and ask for food! He can't watch his family starve for the sake of secrecy!

Xie Xiaoli choked up and said, "There are so many crazy people at the door, how do you find something, what if you get bitten?" ”

"I see that there are no patients on our floor, the elevator is broken, I will go and close the fire door of the staircase, lock it with a lock, let's take a look at this floor first, there are six households on our floor, except for 1602, there may be people, only 1604 The one who entered a few people yesterday, the other households seem to be empty!" Li Jie said slowly.

When Zeng Pei heard this, she already understood her husband's thoughts, and then said: "In addition to our family is 1605, only 1602 and 1604 have been inhabited by people on these 16th floors, and the people of the other 3 households rarely come back to live, and I have seen them a few times occasionally!" If you can open these houses that are not very inhabited, maybe there will be a harvest! Even if you don't have anything, you can get a lot of room to move. ”

"At the very least, there can be a household used as a toilet!" Li Jie added.

This......

Although the parents were uneasy, they understood that what Li Jie said was right.

"Let's go together!" Li Jianguo said. He didn't worry about the child alone.

"I'll go too!" Zeng Aiguo also said that he was not willing to let his son-in-law take risks alone.

Just as the family began to plan to clean up the 16th floor, there was a knock on the door, and suddenly there was a sound!

Zeng Pei was the first to hear it, and immediately signaled everyone to be quiet, and the family immediately quieted down!

"Knock knock!"

A gentle knock on the door rang again!

Li Jie walked lightly to the door, looked out through the cat's eyes, and saw an old woman about 60 years old, holding a baby, standing in front of the door.

This person Li Jie knows, is the owner of 1602 households, this family has just had a child, this old woman is obviously the child's grandmother or grandmother, living here to take care of the child.

He hesitated for a moment and did not dare to open the door.

"Who?" Zeng Pei asked quietly on the side.

"The aunt of the 1602 family opposite, holding her grandson." Li Jie said truthfully.

Zeng Pei understands her husband's concerns, at such a time, of course, she will not open the door easily, what if she is infected with the virus?

However, I couldn't bear to open the door.

Xie Xiaoli heard what her son and daughter-in-law said, and asked Li Jie: "Only the old lady and her grandson?" ”

Li Jie glanced at it again and nodded affirmatively.

Xie Xiaoli looked at her son and nodded, and said, "Then open the door and see, it's not easy to hold a child!" ”

Li Jie hesitated, and felt that his mother was right, after all, the glory of civilization has not yet dissipated, and it is still acceptable for Li Jie and his family to provide some help within their capacity for an old man who is not a threat and an infant baby.

As the door opened, the old woman walked in with the child in her arms and a nervous face.

Li Jie immediately closed the door. Don't dare to push it, close it gently, lest the sound attract the infected people wandering around the building.

"I ...... I'm next door, there is no water and food at home, and the child's mother has no milk, can you give the child something to eat? She whispered cautiously.

He gestured slightly to lift the baby in his arms.

"You're welcome, you sit down first, wait a minute. Wife, go get some milk. Li Jie turned back to Zeng Pei and said, then turned his head to look at Li Jianguo and said, "Dad, there is no one at the door now!" ”

Li Jie, Li Jianguo, and Zeng Aiguo glanced at each other, Li Jie took out the chain lock used to lock the electric car, Zeng Aiguo took a mop stick, Li Jianguo held a belt in his hand, and the three walked to the door, Li Jie looked out from the cat's eye, and there was still no one.

Gently open the door, take a light step, and trot to the fire door in the stairwell!

There are a total of 2 escape stairwells in Li Jie's building, both of which are equipped with fire doors, which are not locked, but have door handles.

Zeng Aiguo and Li Jianguo rushed to the nearby fire door, and the door opened outward, and Zeng Aiguo's mop stick was immediately useless. Zeng Aiguo casually leaned the stick against the corner of the wall, went up, and closed the fire door! And then pull the doorknob deadly!

Li Jianguo immediately tied the belt in his hand tightly to the doorknob!

At the same time, Li Jie quickly rushed to the stairwell a little farther away, only to see that the fire door was open, and there was a man lying on the rest platform of the stairwell, which was the original resident of 1604, the unlucky guy who had been bitten to death by his mother and gnawed.

His face was pale, his eyes were wide, and a blackened blood stain stuck to the corner of his mouth, but on his neck, he had been gnawed, and his hands without clothes had even been eaten clean. The infected have no intelligence, and they are no longer able to help people undress. The corpse's clothes were torn and messy, but they were not taken off.

Li Jie's stomach was churning, he endured it, he didn't dare to look at it again, closed the fire door, and the chain in his hand quickly wrapped around the doorknob and locked it!

It's safe!

Looking back at Dad's side, the two old men are finished!

Li Jie listened carefully, there was no movement! The infected in the building were not alarmed!

The three of them let out a long breath and were safe for the time being.

At that moment, the doors of 1602 and 1604 opened softly at the same time!
