Chapter 2 - 2 2 Taking Good Care of Sister-in-Law_1



He opened his social media app, and a flood of 99+ messages popped up. But the content of the messages quickly sank his heart.

The chat history in the drama crew group showed that almost everyone who had gone to the film studio to shoot two days ago had met with disaster. He had not gone and had unwittingly escaped that calamity.

Now there was no one talking in the group. The last message was from yesterday morning, from an actress saying there was a monster lurking outside her room. She said she was very scared and then there was no more.

What surprised Wang Tao was that the young director surnamed Zhao living across from him had made several phone calls to Wang Tao and sent numerous messages.

April 4th, 11:34

Wang, I heard you didnt come for the shoot? Are you at home? If you are, reply to me! Its urgent!

April 4th, 22:08

Bro, Im still at the film studio, hiding out for now. You havent turned into a zombie, have you? Its terrifying outside; you must be careful!

By the way, your sister-in-law is also at home, but we dont have much food. If you can, please look after her. I, Zhao, will be greatly indebted to you when this is over!

April 5th, 18:49

Bro, I feel like I might not make it. Before I die, theres something I have to ask of you. Could you take care of your sister-in-law Shes too scared by herself at home and theres not enough food. Im afraid she wont last until the rescue

April 5th, 21:13

Bro, my good brother! Would you please respond! Are you dead or what! Ahhh! Im going crazy!

This was the last message, and it was evident that Brother Zhao was close to breaking point then.

Wang Tao tried replying:

Brother Zhao, Im here. Dont worry, Ill do my best to take care of sister-in-law!

He didnt overcommit, only saying he would do his best. Doing my best meant he would help if possible, but if not, then so be it, as his own life was of utmost importance.

After sending the message, he waited for a while but got no reply. It seemed that Director Zhaos chances of survival were slim.

Wang Tao sighed and quickly reviewed the official news posted online.

After half an hour, he roughly understood the current situation

The day after he was stunned, on the morning of April 4th, the zombie crisis had erupted without warning. The exact time was unclear. By the time a massive amount of information appeared online, the situation was already severe.

There were also many observations about the zombies posted by the public online.

These zombies had stiff joints, werent very fast, lacked agility, and their vision had greatly deteriorated; their heads were their weak points. However, they never tired, possessed immense strength, were sensitive to light, and had keen hearing

Anyone bitten or scratched by a zombie would be infected, and once infected, would turn into a zombie! But often, those bitten would be devoured by zombies before they could transform.

The Government quickly deployed soldiers to suppress the outbreak. Faced with an onslaught of steel, the zombies were easily crushed. But suddenly, without warning, the soldiers also turned into zombies!

An external enemy is not as frightening as internal collapse.

The Governments attempts to block the spread failed.

At this point, things had pretty much fallen into chaos, and the more chaotic it became, the more people died. No one knew how many zombies were out there in the world now, but the number was undoubtedly terrifying.

Wang Tao checked other chat groups to see that some were still active.

In the groups, some people were venting their emotions, but even more were asking when the Governments rescue would arrive, as they had run out of food.

Seeing these messages, Wang Tao hurried to the kitchen to check his supplies, then his face turned somewhat gloomy.

He didnt have much food stored, enough to last maybe three or four days. After all, he didnt eat at home often, and if he kept too much food it would go bad. The 10kg of rice he bought last month was now half gone. As for gas, he had just bought a full cylinder, which could last three months.

Out of the blue, the same message popped up simultaneously in all the chat groups

[Government announcement: All survivors are requested to stay in a safe place and not to leave their homes at will. The Government has mobilized a large number of people for the rescue. Large survivor bases have also been preliminarily established, and we will gradually transport everyone to these bases. Additionally, considering that some residents lack essential living supplies, we will soon perform airdrops of supplies in areas with fewer zombies. If your home is in critical need of supplies, you may take the risk to retrieve the airdrops. The large Survivor Base of Huangfeng City is located at No. 32 Fuqiang Street, Red Stone County, while the locations of the various small Survivor Bases are]

The message ended with a photo of a survivor base with tall city walls, which seemed quite safe.

Many people became excited after seeing this message.

The rescue is coming! Hang in there, brothers!

Wuwuwu, rescue is finally on its way! I want to go to the Survivor Base

Luckily, I still have some rice at home, I can hold on for a few more days.

Brother, Ive run out of food at home! I have an elderly mother who is eighty and a child who is only three, I cant survive without food! Brother, could you please lend me some food, I will repay you a hundredfold in the future!

Uh, you better wait for the airdrop; this food is just enough for me and my wife. Besides, were separated by several buildings!

But Im afraid to go out! Please come and bring it to me, Ill wait for you at home!

Get lost, damn it, youre afraid to go out for the airdrops but want me to bring food to you? Blacklisted, no thanks!

Hey hey, dont be so heartless

Wang Tao shook his head, truly, all sorts show up in a big forest.

And this was his Happy Community group. The guy playing the sympathy card seemed to be from Building No. 2 opposite, who also worked at the film studio; Wang Tao had seen him. If he remembered correctly, the guy was a single bachelorwhere would he get an elderly mother and child?

Wang Tao then looked at other groups, where in his crews and classmates groups, some proposed that once they reached the Survivor Base, they could meet up at a scheduled time.

After all, no one knew exactly what the Survivor Base was like. Arriving in a strange place where they knew no one, it seemed better for these acquaintances to stick together for warmth.

Wang Tao thought this was a good suggestion. Having fought and struggled in society for so many years, he knew well the dangers of human nature. He sent a received to acknowledge the message, wanting to agree with a response, but the message displayed a red exclamation mark.

Huh? No internet? And the cellphone signal is gone, too?!

Wang Taos expression changed.

He could faintly hear some cursing from downstairs.

I hope its just temporary

With communication cut off, its likely that power and water outages would follow.

Wang Tao hurriedly gathered all the containers he could find in his home to fill with water. Then he made himself a simple lunch. He didnt dare eat too much; after all, food was scarce, and he needed to conserve it.
