Chapter 16: The People of the Last Days
Even though Su Mi knew that she had such a superb space that could allow her to recover quickly, she didn't dare to bet. Her own life is God's love to give her an extra life, she cherishes it very much, and she is unwilling to gamble.
After walking for more than an hour, I finally arrived at a small pet market in J City. This pet market is the smallest market in J City, and it is still a certain distance from the city, so there are very few people who usually come.
Su Mi entered through the open iron door, the doors of every pet store were not closed, and a large number of dried corpses and cat and dog corpses that were wet in the rain poured outside the door of the store.
As far as the eye can see, the shops on both sides of the alley are not alive, and there is a scorched stench emanating from the shops in the market.
The rain became heavier and heavier, adding a rusty smell to the stench.
Su Mi walked over and found that those cats, dogs, rabbits and other pets that were originally kept in cages were killed by heat in the cage because of a sudden disaster, no one fed them.
The stench of decay comes from them.
Su Mi calmly walked into one of the cat and dog pet stores, and glanced at the cat and dog food that had been opened, which was cracked and damp, had faded, and there were some traces of mold. Sumi felt a little sorry, so she continued to look for a place to store dog food in this store.
Finally, Su Mi found two bags of unopened dog food and canned cat food, as well as some kennels, cat kennels, and pet toys in a small door at the back of the pet store.
These were all instantly collected into the space by Su Mi.
Unfortunately, this store does not have a pet bag, so Sumi went to another one immediately afterward.
With the experience of finding dog food in the first house, Sumi soon found more dog food and canned food in the new house. Not only that, but a pet space bag and goat milk powder and dog treats for puppies were also found.
Su Mi visited the entire small market, and when she saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, she also had the intention of going back. But I saw a living person in a cat store around the corner.
To be precise, the man fell to the ground, dying, surrounded by several cats that had been killed by severed bodies or limbs. There was a lot of blood on the ground, which made Su Mi quickly think of certain scenes that made her sick to her stomach.
This man seemed to be the keeper of the cat store, and at this moment he fell to the ground, through the glass door, and asked Su Mi for help.
Su Mi stopped and looked at the packets of cat food and empty cans of cat food that had been opened on the ground inside, as well as the dead cat corpses, and a wave of nausea followed.
The human desire to survive can make people do anything in the last days. It's all about living.
Su Mi opened the glass door for the man, and the moisture from outside poured in, which obviously shocked the man's spirit.
"Help, save me."
However, Su Mi didn't plan to meddle in things, skipping this store and going straight to the location of the Wenhua community.
There are more and more pedestrians along the way, and a large road where scrapped cars are lined up, dead trees, dead and alive, the three appear harmoniously in a picture frame, and there is a strangeness in harmony.
Sumi hurried away with her head down, and the rain hit her raincoat before sliding to the ground.
It has only been a few hours since the early hours of the morning, and the rain has already formed large puddles on the ground. I believe that it will soon be beyond the feet of people walking outside.
Sumi walked faster. She didn't want to fit in with this group of people who were unaware and reveling in the last days.
Su Mi returned to the Wenhua community, and as soon as she walked to the fifteenth floor, she saw a child lying on her door, as if listening to something.
Su Mi's eyes flickered, and she walked over slowly.
Unexpectedly, the little boy was startled by Su Mi's appearance, tripped over his own footsteps after taking a few steps back, and began to cry as soon as he sat on the ground.
The door of 1503 was open, and the woman who heard the cry immediately rushed out, picked up her child, and glared at Sumi.
"What's the matter with you? Bullying small children. ”
Su Mi rolled her eyes speechlessly, didn't speak, took out the universal card and was about to go home, but was stopped by the woman again.
"Hey, you made my son cry and wanted to leave without even saying an apology!"
Su Mi opened the door with a pause, turned her head, and her eyes were full of cold light and indifference.
"He fell on his own."
The woman said that she was about to come up and pull Su Mi, but Su Mi threw her away.
Who knew that the woman was defenseless and fell to the ground, looking at Su Mi, her eyes were suddenly aggrieved.
So, the women and children cried together, and the man who did not show up in the house was also brought out.
Seeing his wife and children sitting on the ground crying, the man instantly wanted to make Su Mi apologize and lose money.
Su Mi sneered, "Money? ”
"Yes! You push my wife and children, and you have to bear the medical expenses and mental damages. By the way, there's also lost time pay. ”
"How much?"
Su Mi's words were still cold and had no temperature.
The man and the woman who was still crying on the ground looked at each other and continued: "Twenty thousand! My child is so young, I need to have a full check-up! You have to pay for the road and the lost work expenses of my husband and wife! ”
Su Mi sneered and answered, "Twenty thousand? ”
"That's right!"
"Nope."
After speaking, Su Mi took out the master card and opened the door.
The man saw that Su Mi was going home, so he stepped forward and grabbed Su Mi's arm, unexpectedly, the moment Su Mi turned around, a dagger was held in her hand, and she raised her hand to cut out a bloody wound on his arm.
She looked coldly at the man who was already stunned, "I said, your wife and children have nothing to do with me when they fall." Also, don't mess with me. ”
"You! You carry a dagger with you to hurt people, you are breaking the law! I'm going to call the police, I'm going to sue you! ”
With the man's words, the cries of the women and children became more poignant.
As soon as the Sumi door closed, the sound of the outside was cut off.
With a long sigh of relief, he took off his raincoat and rain boots at the door and put them in the sink in the kitchen.
It seemed that he heard Su Mi coming back, and Xiaobai, who was in the master bedroom, made a loud noise.
Su Mi thought that the little boy should have heard the movement just now before lying on her door to listen to the sound.
So I went to the bedroom.
The water in the basin was gone, and Xiaobai staggered towards her, his little head rubbing against her feet.
Looks hungry.
Su Mi poured the cat litter box from the pet market full of cat litter and put it in the corner, then wrapped Xiaobai up and walked towards the cat litter box.
"Xiaobai, if you want to go here in the future, do you understand?" Su Mi originally just talked to Xiaobai in a bad taste, and didn't really think that this son of a dog would understand just a few words.
Who knew that Xiaobai then made a milky "um" twice, struggled to climb the steps of the lynx litter box, and rolled into the cat litter with a "grunt".
Su Mi quickly picked it up and put it away. Who knew that Xiaobai actually found a position on the side and squatted back skillfully.
This is...... Pee?
Su Mi thought it was just a coincidence, but in the next few days, Xiaobai went into the cat litter box every time she excreted, which gave Su Mi a different kind of happiness in dog training.
But what gave Su Mi a headache was that since the friction with the next door that day, Su Mi found that the couple of 1503 would listen to the movement at her 1501 door every once in a while.
This made Su Mi suddenly have a sense of crisis.
The torrential rain has not stopped for three days, and the water level downstairs in the community has spread to the steps of the first floor, and there is a steady upward trend.
