Chapter 3 Food Problems

Not far away, a zombie may have heard the howl of the zombie group here, and also ran to participate in the roundup. The zombie quickly rushed into the zombie group that rounded up the mouse, but it didn't seem to be able to control the body dexterously, after the zombie rushed into the zombie group, the big foot raised in the run accidentally kicked the small body of the mouse, and the mouse flew out, but accidentally flew out of the circle surrounded by zombies.

The rat flew out, and the moment the rat hit the ground, the rat rushed out at a faster speed...... In the end, the rat relied on its natural speed to gradually distance itself from the zombie group chasing behind it. The rat rushed downstairs into another building and disappeared into the corner of the wall below.

The rat escaped, and the rat that was caught by Chen Dong with his bare hands escaped under the round-up of more than a dozen zombies, it can be said that it is a life pick-up, a creature with intelligence, and sure enough, only when facing a desperate situation, can it stimulate its greatest potential.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, the innate speed and agility of mice, and that small and flexible body do have the advantage of escaping zombie attacks. Looking at the zombies that had lost their target and started to wander around again because of the rat's escape, Chen Dong fell into deep thought. He doesn't have the speed of a mouse, but he is the most intelligent human of all creatures, and in the face of zombies, he will definitely not be inferior to a mouse!

The sky outside the window is still gloomy, and although it is rainy in August in the north, it is rare to see such a cloudy weather for four consecutive days. The air is still filled with a fishy smell, after opening the window, the air outside rushes in, and the smell is even stronger, this smell comes in a lot from the outside, it seems that the air in the outside world is like this.

Stay alive! Gotta Live! It can't be better than a mouse!

Thinking so, Chen Dong looked up at the sky, smoked his last cigarette mixed with the smell, and threw the cigarette butt out the window.

"Damn, I don't know if the one blocking the door outside is gone, now I can't hide, I just can't afford to provoke it, I have to be hard!"

In order to survive, the problem of food must be solved, and the house is almost out of food, so food can only be found outside. In fact, Chen Dong didn't think about escaping, according to the suddenness of the outbreak of the zombie incident, many people suddenly became zombies for unknown reasons, if you count the population of Jinxiang City, now the entire Jinxiang City is simply a big zombie den!

Escaping from Jinxiang City, away from the large number of zombies in the city, and then returning to his hometown in Feng'an County, this was Chen Dong's first thought after confirming the full-scale outbreak of zombies four days ago. But that day, when Chen Dong pushed open the security door of the living room, Chen Dong immediately retreated and locked it again.

Because Chen Dong found that in the corridor outside the security door, there was a zombie wandering on the first floor.

In the early morning four days ago, Chen Dong witnessed the chaotic scene of zombies eating people downstairs through the window, countless people were bitten and bitten to death, and the elementary school student who was knocked down by the middle-aged man was thrown to the ground after being torn by the zombie group that snatched the food. In the next few days, Chen Dong looked downstairs more than once, and when he looked downstairs one of the times, he suddenly found that the elementary school student with a tattered body who had been bitten didn't know when he actually stood up, and he also became a member of the zombie group.

Chen Dong is not sure why the elementary school student "came back from the dead" and became zombies, but Chen Dong also speculated that the reason for the sudden outbreak of the zombie incident may be caused by an unknown virus. This virus is like rabies, as long as a normal person is scratched or bitten by a virus carrier, and the bleeding wound has direct contact with the saliva and other secretions of the virus carrier, they will be indirectly infected by the virus and become zombies. However, the zombie virus is also different from the rabies virus, that is, it is much more powerful than the rabies virus, the rabies virus can only parasitize living organisms, while the zombie virus can resurrect the dead and gain control of the dead body.

The zombies outside the door, Chen Dong has long observed clearly, because these days, the zombies outside the door have been wandering up and down the stairs on the first to second floors, as if they were walking after dinner, and they have been in endless activities.

In the past four days, Chen Dong has often been lying on the door, observing the movement of the zombie through the cat's eye on the security door, hoping that it can leave by itself, so as to give himself a chance to escape, but the zombies outside the door have been stubbornly wandering on the stairs on the first to second floors, and have never left, not even the third floor.

The zombie outside the door is an old lady who is not young, and the old lady's legs and feet may be a little unfavorable, so this is also the case after becoming a zombie. In the process of going up and down the stairs, there were several times when the old lady zombie fell, but it didn't know the pain at all, and after standing up, it still limped up and down the stairs.

On the old lady's shoulder, there was a large wound that looked like a bite, the blood on the wound had dried up, but there was no scarring, and the large blood stains were only coagulated into large black blood clots. Being bitten by a zombie will be infected, combined with the elementary school student who came back from the dead, and when he saw the wound on the old lady's shoulder, Chen Dong was even more sure of his thoughts.

Chen Dong is now young and strong, and with Chen Dong's strength, he is actually not afraid of fighting an old lady, even if the old lady has become a zombie. However, Chen Dong is afraid that if he doesn't protect himself, he will be bitten and infected, and the injury is not terrible, people will inevitably be injured, but it is not fun to become a zombie.

Chen Dong walked out of the bedroom, walked to the security door, and once again lay on the cat's eye and looked out of the door.

"Still outside the door, why does she always hang around on the first and second floors?"

Chen Dong muttered to himself, he lay on the cat's eye and looked at it for a while, and then he shrank back his face on the security door, looking depressed.

What to do? The old lady was blocking the doorway, and if she wanted to get out, she had to be put down, and she had to make sure that she was not bitten and scratched by it, and she was put down directly. If you don't fix it, how can you go out and find food?

Thinking of food, Chen Dong rubbed his stomach, a piece of chocolate was not used at all, at most it could only maintain his body's energy needs for a short period of time.

Chen Dong has always paid the mortgage, he has always been frugal, and he usually cooks his own meals, as a working dog who works two shifts during the day shift and night shift, Chen Dong is tired like a dog at work every day, so he is lazy to go out to buy vegetables every day.

Chen Dong usually goes out to buy vegetables when he is off duty, and buys a lot at one time, enough to eat for four or five days, but it is a coincidence that when the zombies broke out four days ago, that day happened to be the day when he should go out off work to buy vegetables, and the vegetables stored by Chen Dong in the refrigerator have basically been eaten, which is at most enough for him to eat normally for a day.

There is not much food, he has been very economical these days, and that little food has been evenly divided into four portions by him, plus some snacks he had saved before, he barely survived these four days. Although he has eaten for the past few days and will not be dizzy from hunger, he can't eat enough every day and can only rely on boiled water to satisfy his hunger, Chen Dong still feels a little weak and has no strength in his body.

Since you want to go out, the zombies outside the door must be solved, and the zombies outside are fighting wits and courage, and you don't even have the strength to do it, Chen Dong thought of this, and walked to the refrigerator decisively.

In the past four days, although the network has been disconnected, I don't know why the electricity is still so strong, and it has not been disconnected. In the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator, there are two steamed buns and a cauliflower, the steamed bun is left by Chen Dong from four days ago to today, and he has not dared to eat it, and he kept it as the last ration, the cauliflower has been broken into several small pieces and scattered on the plate.

Chen Dong didn't like to eat cauliflower before, but cauliflower is the cheapest dish at the moment, and Chen Dong has always bought vegetables cheaply. The cauliflower on the plate was already cooked, because just two days ago, Chen Dong heard a series of loud explosions outside the community, accompanied by a strong tremor, and then, while cooking, Chen Dong found that the gas was gone.

Chen Dong guessed that the series of explosions may have been caused by a chain explosion in the underground gas pipeline, or because after the outbreak of zombies, the gas transmission mechanism was unmanaged, and the pressure of the gas was too high.

The gas stove was no longer usable, so Chen Dong took advantage of the fact that there was still electricity, and immediately boiled a pot of boiling water with an induction cooker, put the cauliflower in the water and cooked it. Chen Dong has already calculated, even if there is not much food, he doesn't want to eat raw things, now there are either pesticide residues on the vegetables, or there are other things, if he has diarrhea after eating raw, now he has no way to cure, he has never had the habit of storing medicines.

Taking out the cauliflower from the refrigerator, Chen Dong walked into the kitchen, and all the containers that could hold water, such as pots and pans, were filled with water, all of which were tap water, and Chen Dong had not drunk it, after all, the cause of the zombie outbreak was unknown, and Chen Dong was not sure whether the water source had been contaminated by the zombie virus. Chen Dong kept these waters for later use, and when he drank the stored bottled mineral water, he might drink it when he really had no choice.

The induction cooker can still be used, Chen Dong turned on the induction cooker, put oil in the pot to stir-fry the cauliflower first, then take out the cauliflower, leave oil at the bottom of the pot, and then put pepper and dried red pepper into the pot to fry the fragrance, put the cauliflower into the pot again, and then put in the dark soy sauce, monosodium glutamate and salt and other seasonings to stir-fry for a while, out of the pot and put on the plate.

Although Chen Dong likes to eat, he has never been too particular about the food he cooks, because he is lazy to toss, so Chen Dong has always maintained the principle that he can eat when cooked, but this meal, although there is only one stir-fried cauliflower, Chen Dong has done it very carefully.

This is all the food, and Chen Dong is not sure if this is his last meal......

One person, one dish, as in his normal life before, Chen Dong ate all the food left in the house. Bringing the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, Chen Dong poured another bowl of boiled water and drank it slowly, and the steamed buns in his stomach swelled when he met the water, which was the same as compressing biscuits, which could increase satiety.

After filling his stomach, Chen Dong sat on the chair in front of the computer and rested, while his head was also thinking about how to deal with the zombie outside.
