33: Han Jiajia turned into a zombie

"Huang Jianli, you scum! You're so heartless! I'm your wife..." Cui Qingqing's body slowly slumped to the ground as she stared at Huang Jianli, unable to rest in peace.

Huang Jianli kicked Cui Qingqing aside and used a tissue to wipe the blood splattered on his face. "You call me heartless? Which one of your family isn't more heartless than me?"

"Your parents didn't act like parents at all. Not only were they snobbish, but they were also greedy for every little advantage. Dying at Si Nan's hands was exactly what they deserved."

"And you and I have been married for several years. I didn't want to kill you; I just wanted to live a few more days in this desperate environment. But you couldn't understand the situation at all. You have no brains, opening your mouth to give food to others."

"I deliberately hit you and provoked you just now to see if you would try to kill me."

"I thought you'd at least remember we're husband and wife, how well I treated you after marriage, pampering you, and handing over my salary. But you still weren't satisfied. You looked down on me just like your parents, mocking and ridiculing me with them."

"It wasn't until you pulled out that fruit knife just now that I truly understood. You never loved me at all. You only married me because you saw I was honest and a civil servant."

"Since that's the case, you'd kill me without hesitation, without any feelings. Then go down and keep your dead parents company."

After speaking, Huang Jianli glanced at Cui Qingqing, whose eyes were wide open, and sat back down to continue eating. The world had changed, and his heart had to change too.

Si Nan actually admired him a bit. "Only this kind of ruthless person can survive the Apocalypse."

Just as she finished, Huang Jianli picked up his phone to make a call. "Cousin, I remember you're home alone, right? I need to discuss something with you. My house is exposed. I was almost hacked to death by someone from the group chat just now. Qingqing is gone."

"The world has changed. That person won't give up. Once the instant noodles and rice they stole from me are gone, they'll definitely rob other houses. Someone in your situation is the perfect target."

"I want to move all the food from my house to yours. Just give me a room to stay in. Your house has a solid security door. We can find a way to reinforce it from the inside. It'll be enough to last until someone comes to save us."

The other party hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed. "Okay, Cousin, come over."

Huang Jianli was overjoyed. He finished his meal in a few bites and found a large box to pack everything edible and valuable, filling two large cardboard boxes and a big backpack.

Coincidentally, these were things he had bought to please his in-laws and Cui Qingqing when he arrived. Because Cui Qingqing had thrown a tantrum and gone to her parents' house, and she loved snacks, he had bought a lot of things to coax her back. He didn't expect them to become his lifeline in the Apocalypse.

He left because, first, the person with the axe would definitely come back, and second, he didn't want to sleep in a room full of corpses.

He was smart. He moved things back and forth twice, covering the cardboard boxes with thick quilts to hide his true purpose. To outsiders, it looked like he was delivering quilts to someone.

So on the way, someone actually asked if he was selling the quilts.

Si Nan looked away. Cui Qingqing's family was dealt with smoothly. She couldn't relax her guard next. After all, Cui Qingqing had inadvertently mentioned in the group that Si Nan knew the Apocalypse was coming and had hoarded supplies. When food supplies gradually ran out, she would be the target of all the Property Owners in the neighborhood.

That would be the real war. This was just an appetizer.

"This is bad! Everyone, look! Outside, there's a blizzard, freezing rain, and huge hailstones falling in turns. I can't even see the streetlights anymore."

"My god, it really is. This weather is getting weirder and weirder. Heaven is driving us to our deaths."

"No, the temperature has dropped a lot. Our air conditioner is set to 30 degrees, but it feels like it's not even on."

"Aaaah, help! Someone save us!"

Si Nan, who was scrolling through the group messages, heard someone shouting and immediately looked outside.

Sure enough, she had been so focused on Huang Jianli's slick maneuvers that she hadn't noticed. Rain mixed with large hailstones clattered against the glass. Visibility outside was already blurred.

Not far away, the Oil Tankers and express delivery containers previously covered by white snow were slowly emerging and becoming clearly visible. It seemed impossible to get those three Oil Tankers tonight. She'd wait. No one would think of them yet anyway.

The sudden drop in temperature was good for her. Although Primary Zombies were stronger than ordinary people, they had no intelligence and were like low-level beasts driven by bloodlust, but they were still made of human flesh and blood.

In extremely low temperatures, Zombies would freeze into stationary blocks of ice and enter a dormant state. But with their extremely strong vitality, they wouldn't die. They'd wake up and resume activity when they sensed humans nearby or were stimulated by loud noises.

She could wait until the Zombies outside froze into blocks of ice, then take the opportunity to get the Oil Tankers and express delivery containers.

She had never opened a blind box in her life. She wanted to treat those packages as blind boxes for fun.

Provided she was confident enough that she wouldn't be mobbed by Zombies and die for nothing—then she would be an idiot squared.

"So cold. Have we suddenly entered an Ice Age? Damn, I can't find our AC remote."

"My god, why isn't our AC blowing warm air anymore?"

"Who has extra quilts and blankets? I'll pay ten thousand yuan for one!"

The group wailed collectively while Si Nan watched the wind and snow with a smile.

Suddenly, a message in the Work Group caught her attention. "Wuwuwu, so scary. Han Jiajia turned into a Zombie. She's wandering right outside my ward."

"I don't even dare look at her. Her abdomen is sliced open, and her internal organs are clearly hanging out. So disgusting, ugh~"

"Really? Take a photo for me to appreciate," Si Nan sent instantly.

"What? Such a disgusting walking corpse, and you say 'appreciate'? Si Nan, I never realized you had such morbid tastes."

"Are you going to take it or not?"

"I'll take it, just to make sure you can't sleep like me."

Soon, a photo of a Zombie clawing at the ward appeared. Who else could it be but Han Jiajia?

Si Nan felt great. Another one dealt with, and she didn't even have to lift a finger. She scrolled up through the chat logs. Li Na was still alive, jumping around and cursing her.

She didn't want to waste time arguing with such a retard, but she wouldn't let her off either. She could piss Li Na off. So, with a curl of her pink lips, she posted the photo of Gao Ming nakedly hugging Xia Mi into the group.

*Beep beep beep* - the group chat notifications exploded immediately.

"Gao Ming is such a scumbag. First Si Nan, then Li Na, and now some stranger. I finally know why I'm still a bachelor—because all the women were taken by Gao Ming."

"At a time like this, surrounded by Zombies, what's the use of a woman? I'd rather trade my girlfriend for a few packs of instant noodles."

"Tell me where you are! I'll trade with you. I'm lonely, empty, and cold right now."

"Hahaha, the guy above is just as wicked as me."}],"new_glossary_terms":[{"zh":" Zombies","en":"Zombie","entity_type":"creature","gender":"neutral"},{"zh":" oil tanker","en":"Oil Tanker","entity_type":"item","gender":"neutral"},{"zh":" Express delivery containers","en":"express delivery container","entity_type":"item","gender":"neutral"},{"zh":"初级 Zombies","en":"Primary Zombie","entity_type":"creature","gender":"neutral"},{"zh":" Ice Age","en":"Ice Age","entity_type":"event","gender":"neutral"},{"zh":" work group","en":"Work Group","entity_type":"organization","gender":"neutral"},{"zh":" cousin","en":"Cousin","entity_type":"person","gender":"female"}]}```
