Chapter 5 Where Did She Get the Milk?
There were four residents on the first floor, but the doors were all closed. Lin Qi did not open the doors, but followed the stairs to the second floor.
After searching layer by layer, he found that all the doors were locked, which made him relax a little.
I'm afraid that if some of these doors are opened, it proves that this place has been visited, or that there may be zombies inside.
Even so, Lin Qi did not take it lightly. Instead, he found a room with a security door on the second floor and stopped in front of the door to observe carefully for a moment.
The door lock was a handle lock. Lin Qi inserted the wire into the keyhole and twisted it slightly. Hearing a click, the door was opened.
Carefully opening the door, the room was well lit and looked bright. The floor was clean and tidy, and there was a plate of rotten fruit on the table in the living room.
"This is it!"
There were various signs that there was no one living in this house, but Lin Qi still carefully searched all the rooms.
This is a standard apartment with three bedrooms and one living room, with an area of about one hundred square meters. There are some supplies piled in the corner of the kitchen, and there are three buckets of pure water in the living room. However, the refrigerator has long been powered off. As soon as Lin Qi opened a gap, he smelled something. A foul stench.
There are induction cookers and gas stoves in the kitchen. I turned them on and tried them. There was still a lot of gas, so I took out a cigarette I just collected from the study, lit it, and took a deep breath.
Compared with daily necessities, although these mental supplements are not necessary, they can temporarily relieve psychological stress.
After smoking a cigarette, Lin Qi didn't dare to delay, quickly closed the door and went downstairs. After exiting the corridor, the sky outside had darkened.
It is now late autumn, and the temperature during the day is more than 20 degrees, but at night, the temperature will drop sharply, down to about 5 degrees.
Crossing the street, a few zombies could be faintly seen wandering here in the distance. Lin Qi couldn't help but quicken his pace and ran towards the back door of the hotel.
Zhao Tuantuan had already opened the door before she even called out. The sweat on her forehead had wet her hair and stuck to her cheeks, with a hint of blush.
"Brother Lin, I have moved all the supplies upstairs!"
Zhao Tuantuan wiped the sweat from the corner of her eyes. She was not like ordinary girls who only knew how to hide in the corner and cry. She just wanted to show her due value.
"You did a good job. You don't need to bring too much tonight. It won't be too late to pick it up tomorrow when you have time."
Half of the house's contents could not be moved in one or two trips. I'm afraid this girl had to go back and forth more than a dozen times without taking much rest.
Lin Qi only picked a few things, and the two of them walked out of the back door and prepared to cross the street one after the other.
At this moment, the zombies in the distance on the street are getting closer and closer, but fortunately they are the earliest infected zombies. They move slowly and are not a big threat.
The two of them crossed the street smoothly, entered the iron gate, locked the door tightly, and ran all the way to the second floor.
After closing the door, the room instantly became dark, and Zhao Tuantuan slumped down on the sofa, gasping for air.
Although she had awakened in some aspects, such physical exertion almost prevented her from recovering.
I saw her chest rising and falling with her breathing, and suddenly with a bang, the tightly buttoned collar burst open, and a hole flew to Lin Qi's body.
"Plot against me?"
Lin Qi couldn't help but joke. He didn't know how Zhao Tuantuan's body developed. He seemed to be one size larger than before due to malnutrition.
"Brother Lin, I'll go back to my room and take a rest first!"
Zhao Tuantuan's face turned red, he quickly stood up and ran towards a bedroom. After entering the house, he closed the door directly.
"She's a little girl after all, she can't stand teasing."
Lin Qi was completely relaxed at this time, but if he wanted to have a good night's sleep, he had to wash up thoroughly.
The water in the bathroom has stopped long ago, but some of the three buckets of pure water in the living room can be saved for daily washing.
Lin Qi found slippers and the host's clean clothes, and found a few sets of unopened underwear from the closet. He carried a bucket of pure water and walked towards the bathroom.
Materials must be put to their best use. Instead of making yourself uncomfortable, it is better to adjust your body to the best condition to face the dangers outside.
More than twenty minutes later, Lin Qi walked out of the bathroom. Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark, he still washed his body after consuming a bucket of water.
It was already dark in the living room, but after getting used to the darkness, I was able to see a little more clearly.
Lin Qi sat on the sofa, dried his hair, and lit a cigarette.
Under the flickering firelight, the room finally had some light source.
At this time, Zhao Tuantuan walked out of the room and came to Lin Qi with his hands behind his back.
"There are two buckets of water. You can take one bucket to the bathroom and wash it in a while. Have a good sleep tonight."
Lin Qi didn't raise his head. Although he couldn't see anything clearly, the girl was relatively reserved after all, so she still wanted to save some face for others.
"Drink this!"
Zhao Tuantuan moved the hand behind his back to the front and handed it to Lin Qi.
"what?"
Lin Qi moved the spark in his hand a little, and then he saw clearly what Zhao Tuantuan was holding, the familiar white bottle.
"Uh, milk, I hid half the bottle, thank you for saving me today!"
In the darkness, it was impossible to see Zhao Tuantuan's expression clearly, but Lin Qi always felt it was a little strange. Her voice was hesitant, as if she was a little embarrassed.
"Isn't it expired? Why don't you drink it?"
It's just half a bottle of milk, and you still use it to thank yourself? Wouldn't it be the same if you change it to something else?
"What's expired? It's fresh! I'm lactose intolerant and can't drink milk!"
Zhao Tuantuan put the bottle on the table and walked towards the bedroom with a bucket of water.
The bedroom she chose has a small bathroom, so she doesn't need to come out again.
"Lactose intolerance, so delicate!"
It's the end of the world, who still indulges this kind of problem? When you are really starving to death, even if the milk is poisoned, I'm afraid there will be people who are willing to swallow it in one gulp.
Lin Qi was a little thirsty, and adhering to the principle of not wasting, he picked up the cup and took a sip.
"Warm?"
After taking a sip, the sweetness was accompanied by a hint of fishy smell, but for some reason, Lin Qi didn't dislike this taste.
"What brand of milk is this?"
In the two memories, I have never drunk such sweet milk. Like a warm current, it slowly penetrated into the stomach, making the original hunger disappear instantly, and even the whole person was a little more energetic.
Lin Qi took the drink and drank it all, savoring it endlessly.
After finishing a cigarette, Lin Qi walked towards the second bedroom. Feeling relaxed, he lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep.
This night was his first night since the end of the world. He was not frightened, but rather exceptionally quiet.
"No! Where did she get the milk from!"
An hour later, Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes, still unable to figure it out.
