Jingcheng Welfare Institute is a national welfare institution. It was originally located in the third ring road area of Yunhai City, but was later moved to the south sixth ring road area due to real estate development.
Due to the rapid development of Yunhai City in recent years, the originally deserted environment around the orphanage has become no longer deserted.
Even after the apocalypse broke out, there were many zombies in this area.
At this moment, the iron gate of the orphanage was wide open, and there were hundreds of zombies wandering in the small yard.
There are scattered bones in various corners of the yard.
In fact, these zombies were not originally there, but were attracted by a group of people who attempted to break into the orphanage this morning to remove the food stored here.
The zombies chased the group of people into the orphanage. After eating them all, they lingered in the yard for a long time.
They will certainly not leave until there are no new targets outside. Because they can vaguely smell the presence of fresh flesh and blood somewhere in the orphanage.
In fact, there are indeed a group of living people here.
This group of living people is Wu Lanying, the director of the welfare home, and a dozen children of various sizes.
When the apocalypse came yesterday, 45-year-old Wu Lanying was arranging her children's nap. When she had just finished making arrangements and was about to leave the children's bedroom, the end came and she quickly fainted and fell to the ground.
She was woken up by Doudou, a 12-year-old girl. Doudou told her with a look of panic that many children were about to turn into devils.
Wu Lanying was a little unbelievable at first, but she soon discovered that not only did her strength increase greatly, she also had the special ability to control plants, and Doudou could also release water with bare hands.
Such a magical thing immediately made Wu Lanying feel that she would rather believe it than believe it. She asked Doudou to quickly tell her which children would become devils, and then she quickly put these children in a separate room.
Doudou stopped her. Doudou said that there are many children who want to become devils, so it would be faster to sort out the children who will not become devils.
Wu Lanying quickly followed suit.
Because the mutation time ended quickly, she followed Doudou's instructions and moved the fourteen children into the empty room next to her house and office on the second floor. Then some children began to turn into zombies and start wreaking havoc.
After that, Wu Lanying never rescued another child, and she was almost scratched by a child who turned into a zombie.
A miracle occurred at the critical moment. The dog "Heiyun" that Doudou usually fed suddenly broke in and killed all the children who had turned into zombies.
But the children who had not turned into zombies at that time were already scarred.
Doudou then said that the injured child would soon turn into a devil.
Wu Lanying had no choice but to lock the injured children in their original bedrooms.
As expected, those injured children quickly turned into zombies, roaring randomly in the room.
Wu Lanying had no choice but to return to the second floor, where she watched a total of fifteen children, including Doudou, in panic and shed tears.
She didn't know why the world became like this, and she didn't know what she should do next.
She didn't dare go out to ask for help. Because she could see people on the road outside the orphanage being caught and eaten by the ubiquitous zombies from time to time.
The only thing she is relieved about is that her daughter Wu Mei came back to see her today. Wu Mei was resting in her room when the end came.
Although Wu Mei did not awaken her powers, she did not turn into a zombie.
Now the mother and daughter were trapped on the second floor guarding a dozen children. They didn't even dare to go downstairs or make a sound. They spent a desolate night like this.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
"Mom, I'm so thirsty."
When Wu Lanying was distraught, three children, only seven or eight years old, spoke pitifully and softly.
The other children were older and more sensible. Even though they were hungry and thirsty, they could not speak out.
"Mom, I really can't get any water out." Doudou said immediately.
From yesterday to now, the dozen or so of them have only eaten some snacks that Wu Mei put in the bedroom and drank some water that Doudou created with her supernatural powers.
But now that Doudou's energy has been exhausted, he can no longer produce it.
"Dabao, Xiaoli, Xiaohua, be patient, be patient, and someone will come to save us later. Don't cry, don't cry. If you want to cry, those devils downstairs will find us. "Wu Lanying quickly held the three children in her arms and comforted them softly.
"Oh, Mom, we won't cry." All three children nodded obediently.
"Well, if that group of people didn't break in this morning and bring so many zombies, we would still have a chance to enter the storage room next to the kitchen downstairs to get some food. Those people are really hateful." Wu Mei said bitterly Said softly.
"Yes, the black cloud has grown so big today that it looks like a lion. It must be able to beat the kitchen workers who turned into zombies in the kitchen. But..." Wu Lanying touched and squatted quietly The big dog beside Doudou said.
The big black dog Heiyun added Wu Lanying's hand, with a human look in his eyes, and nodded affirmatively.
Heiyun is an abandoned native dog who has been relying on scraps from the orphanage to survive. It has been feeling sleepy since it rescued Doudou and Wu Lanying yesterday.
As the red rain fell last night, its body grew rapidly like a balloon, and then it became lively and energetic. At that time, everyone except Doudou was frightened. Doudou said it was okay.
"Oh, I don't know what's going on in this world. People can turn into zombies, and dogs can grow so big and be so psychic. If no one comes to save us, I don't know how we will end up..." Wu Mei couldn't help but sigh and said.
"Ah, mom, sister, I saw it, I saw it." Doudou, who had been crying with a sad face, suddenly clapped her little hands and screamed softly.
Doudou not only awakened the water power, but also seemed to have the ability to predict. She can see in advance what will happen a short time later, and then it will come true very quickly.
Of course, she is not always in a prophetic state. Only when she focuses on something will she see how it will evolve over a short period of time.
Wu Lanying was able to rescue a dozen children yesterday because of Doudou's ability.
At that time, Doudou's thoughts were all on his friends, and he suddenly saw pictures of them either transformed into corpses or not.
The future that Doudou saw before was a dark one, and the ending that greeted the group of people in the room was death. Heiyun fought the zombies until the end, and rushed out alone with scars.
But at that moment, an idea flashed in her mind, and she saw another bright ending.
"Doudou, what did you see? Did you see someone coming to save us?" Wu Mei asked in surprise.
Wu Mei is young and has a flexible mind. He guessed early on that Doudou's ability might be prophecy.
"Yes, yes. Mom, sister, and brother. Brother will bring someone to rescue us soon." Doudou said happily.
