Go back upstairs,

Lin Feng, who had been busy all morning, was also a little tired.

But the mood is good.

After all, I finally met a living person.

He also personally "rescued" the landlady.

In addition to relieving loneliness, I feel full of accomplishment.

I just hope that my wife won’t pull it away.

He specially helped cover the balcony curtain.

The too cruel real world might tear apart her remaining dignity.

Drink half a bottle of Coke.

Lin Feng whistled and opened the neighbor's door.

Before making lunch, he needs to gather supplies.

Move the neighbor's water storage to your own home.

It's always a little uneasy to put it in someone else's home.

One cubic meter of water weighs approximately one ton.

Use two plastic buckets to transport 40 liters at a time.

Running back and forth a few more times can also be a good exercise.

Lin Feng calculated that more than twenty trips back and forth in one breath was equivalent to carrying a weight of forty kilograms and running one kilometer.

After doing all this, the potential of the body is stimulated,

Endurance is greatly improved.

Finally, looking at the water in his bathtub, Lin Feng wiped away his sweat. The ten minutes of hard work were finally not in vain.

It will be very convenient for washing and cleaning later.

Otherwise, you have to go next door to fetch water every time.

Take a short break and drink the rest of the Coke,

There was a feeling of emptiness in my stomach.

After doing so much work, I was hungry again.

Look at the alarm clock, it's almost 12 noon.

It's time to make lunch.

Lin Feng got up and went to his neighbor's house.

Open the freezer and take out a whole bag of dumplings.

Classic cabbage and pork flavor.

Transparent bag packaging, heavy weight.

It is obvious that this is a bag of cheap, large-volume quick-frozen dumplings.

Lin Feng has bought this kind of thing before.

It only costs fifteen yuan a bag, which weighs three kilograms.

If it weren't for the pitiful amount of meat inside, Lin Feng couldn't help but wonder that maybe it was zombie meat.

Anyway, the taste is just like that.

It's not that bad, and it's not that delicious either.

And if left for a long time, it will become pulpy.

Look at the production date, luckily it's early this month.

"There are still some ice cubes in the cabinet, it should be fine."

Light the gas stove and boil a pot of water.

Tear open the bag and pour half of the dumplings into it.

Lin Feng estimated that there were more than thirty.

After hesitating for a while, I decided to cook it all.

It is more likely to deteriorate if exposed to air after opening, especially if there is not much ice in the freezer.

After the fire is boiled, the dumplings in the pot float.

Pour in half a bowl of cold water and continue cooking.

In order to cook it longer for sterilization, Lin Feng cooked it for more than ten minutes. When the dumplings were bloated and the skins were broken, he took them out.

Pour half the soup base into a large bowl and sprinkle with seasonings.

The scent wafted out.

It's just that the presentation is a bit poor. A bowl of dumplings with skin and fillings turned into a bowl of dough and meatball chowder.

Set aside to cool first,

Lin Feng, who was sweating profusely, started cooking the second pot.

Dump all the remaining dumplings.

Just when Lin Feng was complaining about his poor cooking skills,

When you feel anxious...

There was a knock on the door, and several familiar calls:

"Xiao Lin? Xiao Lin? Are you at home?"

Lin Feng covered the pot and put the large bowl of chowder on the side to the old table in the living room.

The knock on the door came from next door, from my own side.

Go forward and open the door.

The sound of the door opening startled the landlady opposite, and she almost dropped the bowl in her hand.

Bai Meijie took a deep breath to calm down:

"Xiao Lin, why are you here?"

Aren't the residents of 602 a middle-aged couple?

Bai Meijie still remembers that the man's legs and feet were inconvenient and he could only stay at home. He was probably infected and turned into a zombie.

Then why, Lin Feng will come out from inside.

And as he opened the door, a smell of meat wafted out.

Seeing his wife's confused look, Lin Feng explained:

“If we don’t have any water at home, we’ll ask our neighbors to borrow it.”

Bai Meijie nodded subconsciously, with a hint of joy:

"The residents of 602 are still there? Are they still alive?!"

Lin Feng shook his head, looking regretful:

"No, he was infected and turned into a zombie."

Thinking of the terrifying zombies lying outside her window, my wife suddenly felt nervous and took half a step back:

"Then you, are you... okay now?!"

Lin Feng smiled and said with relief:

"It's okay, I've already taken care of it."

"Come in, it's not safe to stay outside."

With that said, Lin Feng opened the door and invited the landlady to enter the neighbor's house that was filled with the smell of meat.

Bai Meijie froze on the spot. For a moment,

Countless terrifying thoughts flashed through my mind.

But if you think about it carefully, if Lin Feng wanted to cause harm, he would have succeeded long ago, so why bother to pretend so much.

It's the end of the world right now, and there are scary zombies outside.

Shortage of food and water, without legal restrictions and moral restrictions, the evil of human nature will soon be infinitely magnified.

Bai Meijie knew that she could not escape alone, and her family's food reserves had been exhausted.

This big boy in front of me,

The internet-addicted boy I once looked down upon,

It is the only way to survive.

If he rejected him at this time, he would continue to be hungry and fearful, and it would probably also cause Lin Feng's displeasure.

After struggling for a few seconds, looking at the boy's calm smile,

Bai Meijie swallowed and nodded unconsciously.

Smelling the fragrance, I took steps out of nowhere.

Walking into room 602, there is almost no decoration inside.

Just as it was when it was built twenty years ago, many of the furniture are older than my daughter.

Old, dilapidated, everything seemed to be gradually decaying.

If it weren't for the meaty aroma wafting from the bowl on the dining table,

Bai Meijie would never step into a place like this.

"Put the bowl here."

Lin Feng's voice sounded from behind.

The wife trembled, turned around and forced a smile:

"Okay, it's already cleaned."

Lin Feng looked at the smooth and white bowl,

I thought the landlady’s house seemed to have no water, right?

It was so clean. Could it be that you licked it with your tongue?

It seems that it needs to be washed before use.

"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."

Lin Feng made some nonsense, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.

Afterwards, the atmosphere in the living room became slightly awkward.

Until Bai Meijie suppressed the discomfort in her heart and spoke enthusiastically to break the deadlock:

"Xiao Lin, are you making soup noodles?"

Lin Feng looked at the chowder with the skin and meat separated in the bowl:

"This is a dumpling..."

"…………"

The wife's originally soothing eyebrows wrinkled again.

"Hua Hua Hua... coo..."

In silence, a burst of explosions came from the kitchen.

The experienced Bai Meijie immediately rushed to the kitchen and turned off the stove.

At this time, there was a pot of boiling dumplings on the table. The foam overflowed and dripped on the burner, almost causing a fire on the stove.

"How can one leave the kitchen while cooking?"

"Also, why do you need to cover the pot when cooking dumplings? With such a pot of boiling water, you are not afraid of something happening!"

The angry landlady couldn't help but said a few words in a stern tone.

Only then did Lin Feng realize,

I am afraid that I have walked away behind the closed door of hell.

If the gas tank really exploded,

That power can blow up an entire floor.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I haven't cooked..."

Lin Feng lowered his head and expressed his apology.

Bai Meijie sighed and wiped the stove clean:

"I'll cook it, and you can sit outside."

Just like that, ten minutes later,

The two sat down together naturally.

The dumplings in the bowl are very fragrant and full of temptation.

Although she was very hungry, Bai Meijie ate very slowly and chewed her food carefully without making any ugly appearance.

Looking at Lin Feng who was silent,

Like a child who did something wrong.

Only then did Bai Meijie remember that her tone was too harsh:

"There are a lot of zombies downstairs..."

"Xiao Lin, my aunt will live here from now on, so we can help each other."

Lin Feng remained silent and continued to peel the dumpling wrappers.

Seeing this, Bai Meijie hesitated and said the difficulty:

"Well, Xiao Lin, my aunt's house usually doesn't have much food left. She's been very hungry these two days..."

"Can you sell me some first..."

"Of course, Auntie also knows the current situation."

"After the rescue team arrives, aunt will contact relatives and double the compensation for you."

As she spoke, the landlady took a small wallet from the pocket of her skirt, took out a wad of bills inside, and handed it over expectantly.

Lin Feng pretended not to notice, drank the soup base first, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and wiped his mouth.

Then he looked at the landlady with a calm face:

"Madam, money is just a piece of paper now..."

"If you want to eat, you have to exchange it for other things."

After a pause, Lin Feng glanced at his wife's whole body, and after looking at it with interest, he continued:

"It's something valuable!"
