I don't know how long it has been, but we have almost finished the supplies. I know, it's finally time to search for more.

Lin Shu said she wanted to go with me, but I refused.

Jin Jin still needs her mother.

Yanzi also said she wanted to go with me, and I agreed.

During this time, the two of us have been training non-stop and have also learned some basic self-defense moves. We can easily deal with individual zombies.

But if there are too many zombies...

Then, good luck to us!

Or maybe, see you in the next life.

We dressed in thick clothes and put on helmets, just like when we left home.

This time, Yanzi also had a helmet.

Just as we were about to go out, we suddenly heard a lot of gunshots outside the door.

Startled, Yanzi and I quickly retreated.

We went to the other side and tried to see what was happening outside through a small window.

But it was covered in thick dust, and we couldn't see anything clearly.

At that moment, we heard someone banging on the door.

I brought the three of them into the room and told them to hide, while I hid in a dark corner where I could see the door, tightly gripping a baseball bat.

"Captain, we can't open the basement. Shall we leave? Maybe there are no survivors inside."

"Are you stupid? If there are no survivors, why would the door be so tightly blocked?"

"That's true. Then why are we banging on the door? We should just ask someone to open it."

The conversation stopped, and surprisingly, we heard knocking on the door.

"Hello, is anyone there? We are the rescue team codenamed 'Sun.' We have already eliminated the zombies outside the door. We are here specifically to rescue survivors. The country has developed a vaccine against this virus, which provides excellent protection. Now we want to take you to the survivor base. Hello, is anyone home?"

I walked to the door, but I didn't rush to move the wardrobe.

"Why should I trust you?"

"It's okay if you don't trust me, but you can trust the country, trust the government. The country won't abandon anyone. No matter where you are, we will bring our people back home."

Perhaps it was because his voice was so reassuring.

I struggled to move two wardrobes and opened the door for them.

But I still held the baseball bat firmly, pointing it straight at them.

They were indeed dressed in neat military uniforms. The sunlight shone on them, making them look divine, and their eyes were full of hope.

"Hello, we're here to take you home."

Extra

Three years later, the virus disappeared completely, and the zombies were cremated.

Our neighborhood was no exception; all the bodies were cremated together.

"If anyone in your family died from the virus, you can take their ashes with you."

Yes, it would take too much time to cremate them separately, and those disfigured bodies couldn't be distinguished anymore.

I also stood in the long line, waiting to collect the ashes. Lin Shu stood behind me.

"Aren't your family members doing well? Why are you here to collect someone's ashes?"

"Bubble tea."

First, I buried Anhe with Lin Shu, and then I brought Bubble Tea back to the bottom of our building.

I buried Bubble Tea under a tree and placed a few flowers on top.

"If you miss me, come and find me, okay?"

I touched my slightly bulging belly and decided to name the child inside after Bubble Tea.

The man behind me carefully helped me up, and I sobbed in his arms.

This man is none other than the captain who saved me that day.

His appearance was like a ray of sunshine in the darkness, bringing hope to my more than 200 gloomy days.

As long as there is one more person alive, there is one more glimmer of hope.

I looked up at the sky.

"Anhe, thank you."

"Bubble Tea, thank you."
