In the days that followed, she realized that she had made a mistake.
It’s okay if I forget to leave some food for the past few days.
The result of being too diligent was that from that day on, she had to eat rice crusts soaked in water and dry dried vegetables every day.
But in just two days, Fu Anan became greedy.
During these two days, she also joined the community WeChat group, the apartment building WeChat group, and even the WeChat group of friends on the fourth floor.
Everyone shared what they had, and news spread quickly.
Soon everyone knew that zombies were hiding in Unit 2, Unit 4, and Unit 9 in the community. If someone's family hadn't returned yet, they were lucky and all of them were fine. Someone's family contacted relatives outside Licheng and brought news from outside that people within dozens of kilometers around Licheng had been evacuated. The control there was very strict, and no one was allowed to get close.
Not only that, the news did not broadcast the situation in Licheng captured by drones from the sky, so people only knew that there was a sudden outbreak of rabies in Licheng. There were all kinds of true and false information, but no one could say for sure what the details were.
[There is nothing to do, everyone spreads the news by word of mouth, and the news media keeps it secret. ]
[Yes, wouldn't it be more frightening if it was so mysterious? ]
On the contrary, reality is much more terrible than imagination.
Compared to seeing bloody photos and videos with your own eyes, hearing about it from others at least won’t give people nightmares. Without seeing the real scene, the most people think of escaping is to go abroad; seeing the real scene, people may want to buy a rocket ticket to escape the planet.

Game Day 10 Night
An explosion suddenly sounded somewhere in the city.
Flames shot up into the sky and the ground was shaking. In an instant, the zombies' cries rose one after another, and there were faint screams coming from the distance.
What's wrong
Fu Anan sat up from the bed, opened the curtains and looked outside.
The edge of the city was ablaze.
[What's going on?]
[I heard from other groups that the zombies ran to the place where the army was stationed and went crazy killing people.]
[What? Will the army come to rescue us soon? ]
[In fact, I have long wanted to ask why they don’t use helicopters to rescue people. If they can be rescued, then they can be rescued. Even if they can’t be rescued, at least there will be electricity! A lot of food in my refrigerator has gone bad, and I have to turn off my phone! ]
There were a lot of people chatting in the group at the beginning, but now there are only a few left.
To be honest, Fu Anan’s phone is about to run out of battery.
As the news became less and less well-informed, the group began to make a series of speculations about what was happening outside, the most common of which was that the army would be sent to rescue them.
They hope so much that they even dream about it.
Game Day 11
The gas stove is no longer working.
Click, click!
Fu Anan tried several times, but got the same result every time.
Last night's explosion was not the result of a fierce battle between the army and zombies, but the result of a natural gas explosion.
When she saw this, she was stunned at first, then reached to the sink next to her, turned on the water and wanted to wash her hands.
There was a series of empty puffing sounds from the tap first, and then the tap water that came out smelled of disinfectant and blood. When I caught the water in a bowl, it was yellow-green in color and contained floc-like impurities.
This water is totally undrinkable.
The power outage, the gas outage, and finally the water outage.
Living in a reinforced concrete structure, the only things that give people a sense of security are food tightly sealed in plastic bags and several large basins of water in the kitchen and bathroom.
