"Urgent notice, an unknown virus has spread extensively. Infected individuals have a pale gray skin color, bloodshot eyes, and are thoughtless and unconscious. They attack humans indiscriminately. Contact between the saliva of infected individuals and human blood results in infection within a few seconds..."

I watched the news on TV, seeing the scenes of zombies besieging the city. Then I looked at my grandmother who had just returned from the vegetable garden, and involuntarily swallowed: "Grandma, look at me now. Do you want to bite me?"

My grandma immediately gave me a big slap.

As she picked up the trash can to clean up the garbage bags I had thrown on the table, she continued to talk: "You are just like that old fool from Xishan. As soon as you find something good, you can't let it stay overnight."

I rubbed the back of my head, realizing that grandmother's zombie strength had increased.

"Grandma, this is just news. Do you not feel that there's something wrong with yourself?" I stood nearby and cautiously probed.

Grandma glanced at me and coldly snorted: "Zombies, zombies don't need to live everyday life? Crops won't grow by themselves without someone tending to them in the fields?"

Truly representing the diligent and simple laboring people, even though she had become a zombie, she still cared about her vegetable garden.

But from the looks of it, besides the change in appearance, she seemed to have no difference from a normal person. She didn't seem interested in biting me, only in wanting to beat me up.

Grandma finished cleaning the table and went to cook.

The news continued.

"Citizens, please find a relatively safe place to hide. Believe that the government will stabilize the situation as quickly as possible. The first batch of cleanup troops has already set off from the capital..."

I lost interest and turned off the TV. I took out my tablet and silently started watching my favorite anime.

"Qiqi, it's time to eat."

I immediately put down my tablet and ran to the kitchen. Grandma had already prepared the meal, which although green, I still enjoyed.

After finishing the meal, I offered to wash the dishes, but grandma pushed me aside with disdain: "You can forget about it." She started nagging again, "Instead of playing with your phone, why don't you read books and learn some knowledge? Then you can find a better job."

I used to not listen to her nagging about this, but now I smirked and laughed: "It's the zombie siege, humans no longer need to work! Oh hahahaha!"

I was so delighted, as if I had created the virus myself.

"If I stop eating and drinking, can you do the same? Hmph, if you don't study or work, be prepared to go hungry! Get lost."

I happily returned to my room.

Using the Wi-Fi that was still available, I downloaded my favorite anime, variety shows, and even some traditional operas onto my phone, computer, and tablet. Then I heartlessly disconnected from the internet.

Lying comfortably on the kang bed, I waited for grandma to come and watch together, but instead I saw her open the front door.

I shouted from the house, "Grandma, why are you going out so late at night?" She seemed to be holding a hoe.

"I'm not going to sleep. I'm going to tend to the field. You just go to sleep," she replied without looking back.

She left without waiting for me.

Leaving me alone on the kang bed, feeling a little lost.

I waited and waited, but she didn't come back, and I became confused.

When I was half asleep, I saw a dark figure standing beside the kang bed, and I was so frightened that I almost jumped out.

I didn't dare to reach for the light switch, and I couldn't find my phone, so I anxiously shouted, "Siri!"

"What the hell do you want in the middle of the night? Go to sleep," came the voice.

Hearing that voice, I relaxed. It turned out that grandma had come back.

I laid back down with peace of mind, "Why didn't you turn on the lights so late at night?"

"You're already sleeping, why would I turn on the lights? I can see perfectly fine," she replied.

"Oh, I see." My nerves tightened and relaxed. "Hurry up and come sleep."

I heard grandma say, "Let me wash up first, then I'll come up onto the kang bed. You go ahead and sleep."

I didn't think too much about it, rolled over, and fell asleep.
