Day 50 of the apocalypse.
A small team of about a dozen people appeared downstairs in the neighborhood.
Their purpose in entering the neighborhood was very clear—to search for food.
They held weapons such as axes and machetes and had a fruitful harvest after searching each building.
However, after they left, several people would jump off the building.
At their current speed, they would probably reach our building by noon.
The three of us ate some self-heating rice without much taste while calculating the probability of them breaking in.
After the meal, I was responsible for keeping watch while my best friend and Xing Feng fiddled with the pile of alcohol, saying they wanted to make some weapons.
That group of people piled up the searched supplies in the empty space in the middle of the neighborhood, with a few people guarding them.
There were several boxes of rice, flour, and oil, over twenty boxes of mineral water, and many boxes of compressed biscuits.
Their initial victory greatly boosted the confidence of this group of people. They immediately opened several bottles of mineral water and drank and spilled them, attracting many people to look out of their windows.
The leader, a man with a big beard, suddenly dragged a person out from behind and threw him to the ground.
The person's clothes were torn into pieces and hung on him in a disheveled manner. As soon as he raised his head, the big-bearded man punched him, and his glasses fell to the ground.
The person was obviously highly myopic. As soon as his glasses fell, he started waving his hands in all directions while crawling on the ground to find his glasses.
The follower behind the big-bearded man, a man with triangular eyes, grabbed the person's hair on his forehead and pulled it back hard, causing his face to tilt upward toward everyone.
Seeing the person in such a sorry state, everyone burst into laughter.
My best friend suddenly exclaimed, "Director Zhang?"
According to my best friend, the man downstairs wearing glasses was the head of the infectious disease department at their hospital, and he had resigned suddenly before the apocalypse.
It seems that he had received advance notice.
No wonder he managed to survive until now and had stockpiled so much food.
A few men downstairs moved many times to completely empty his apartment, and the pile of things looked very impressive when stacked together.
The big-bearded man took a megaphone handed to him by one of his followers and began shouting in the neighborhood, regardless of whether it would attract zombies or not.
"Everyone, listen up,
As long as you are willing to join us, you will have your share of the food here. If you voluntarily hand over your food to us, you can also join us. If you don't voluntarily hand it over, this will be your fate when we find you."
After saying that, he dragged Director Zhang from behind and kicked him in the abdomen. The big-bearded man was tall and looked to be about 1.9 meters. Director Zhang was kicked and flew out, landing on the flower bed. He fainted without even making a sound.
Seeing Director Zhang faint, the group of people laughed even more wildly.
"For those who don't have food at home but know where there is food, speak up, and I will also give them something to eat."
With his call, many people who had been hesitant started opening their doors and bringing down their belongings.
Even the newlywed couple on the 17th floor across from us opened their window and shouted, "We have food at our place."
The couple had only gotten married a month before the apocalypse. After the end of the world, I had never seen them open their windows. I had always thought they weren't home.
Obviously, they couldn't hold out any longer.
Four men headed towards the building across from us, and soon, a few people appeared in the home of that couple and came down shortly after.
The couple's food supplies were running low, and the few people came out with only a few boxes of mineral water.
The people downstairs didn't seem too pleased, but because they needed to mobilize others, they didn't say anything in the end. They just had them put down their things and gave each of them a piece of bread.
The two of them were overjoyed and began devouring the bread.
