Xiao Jiaojiao is the queen in the last days

Chapter 28
In the middle of the night, Shi Jing was sitting on the ground in the bamboo grove, with the furry giant panda lying beside her, with its snow-white belly rising and falling, its head resting on its arms, sleeping very soundly.

The corners of her mouth could not help but rise, and the insects chirped in the bamboo forest. When she raised her head, she could see a first-quarter moon in the night sky through the gaps in the leaves.

The moonlight poured down like silver sand, but the boy in white appeared before Shi Jing's eyes.

"Yanma..." Shi Jing felt a little dazed in front of her eyes, she was stunned for a moment, but the white clothes were just dead leaves floating from a distance.

When the dead leaves fell to the ground, her heart returned to peace.

But the memories of the past still flooded into her brain unstoppably.

not long ago……

The small town that was originally very lively during the summer vacation is still very deserted even at noon.

In the beginning, people simply tied their mad relatives to their homes.

Seeking medical advice was fruitless, and some people tried metaphysics to exorcise demons.

Everyone on the road was in a hurry, wary of each other, with wide eyes, looking around nervously from time to time, wanting to make sure that there were no lunatics around who would suddenly come out.

After the school was closed, parents did not let their children go out, for fear that they would contract strange diseases if they came into contact with each other.

And when they find they can't leave town, the situation becomes even more dire.

The supermarkets in the small town were swept away, and the pharmacies were also robbed of all the medicines. Some people who were used to brutality were even more defiant, beating, smashing, looting and burning, committing all kinds of crimes.

In just one month, the beautiful town has become devastated and piled with rubbish.

In order to protect themselves, ordinary people can only lock at home, even nail the doors and windows to prevent thieves from entering the house, and rely on the stored materials to hang around and wait for death.

However, there are many more people who have gone crazy before the supplies are exhausted. The whole house is killing each other, and the once warm little home has become a terrible Shura field.

Yanma's parents graduated from colleges. In the past, they were always exhausted by Yanma's rebellion and worried about their children's future.

But now, everyone worries about one thing: how much time they have left.

Shi Jing's father passed away very early, and she has lived with her mother since she was sensible.

Perhaps because of this, after being trapped at home, they are still lucky, because their mother has always had a sense of crisis and usually likes to stockpile goods, so there is no worry about food shortage for the time being.

Some of the living still held out hope that they would wait for rescue from the outside world.

The same is true for Shi Jing and her mother. She used to think that they would eventually be rescued, and all this would eventually become a piece of history, a piece of the past...

On the morning of the day when the accident happened, it was raining lightly outside.

Shi Jing woke up from the nightmare. For some reason, she felt that the room was quieter than before.

She called for her mother, but no one answered her.

Shi Jing went outside barefoot, the house was still in good order, but her mother was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound from the direction of the kitchen.

Shi Jing became a little vigilant, she tiptoed cautiously to the door, grabbed the broom, and looked into the kitchen.

A familiar figure came into view. It was the mother in an apron who was cutting vegetables and cooking.

Shi Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and put down the broom, "Mom, didn't you hear me calling you just now? You almost scared me to death, I thought there was a thief in the house."

Mom didn't answer, she was still cutting vegetables silently.

Shi Jing sat on the chair and turned to look at her mother, feeling that her mother seemed a little strange today.

"Mom..." Shi Jing stood up again and walked towards the kitchen. When she approached, she vaguely heard her mother humming a somewhat weird tune.And Shi Jing also saw clearly that what her mother was cutting was not any vegetable, but... her own fingers.

Shi Jing screamed. Although she covered her mouth in time, her mother still turned her head. Her gaze did not look human at all, "Did you hear that? Sound... sound..." From mother's mouth Some strange pronunciations began to come out.

Shi Jing stepped back step by step, she shook her head, her eyes turned red, she couldn't accept that her mother was also crazy.

"Mom, don't...I beg you...don't become like this..." Shi Jing cried, she was completely panicked and didn't know what to do.

What did mother hear?Why did they obviously not go out, but the mother was still infected?

I don't know if she saw Shi Jing collapsed, her mother's eyes seemed to flicker and hesitate, and then she suddenly seemed to regain some consciousness, her eyes widened, and she shouted hoarsely, almost exhausted: " Cover your ears! Don't listen! Don't listen! Go back! Go back to your room!"

Shi Jing was so frightened by her mother's yelling that she hurriedly covered her ears and ran back to the room, locking herself in the bedroom.

She leaned against the door, covered her ears and kept crying. In the past 19 years, she never thought about what would happen if she had a father, because she always felt that having a mother was enough.

But that time was the only time she thought of her father.

If there is a father, maybe he can know how to help my mother recover, maybe he can tell her what to do now.

She hid in the room, curled up, and although she covered her ears, she could still feel her mother hovering outside the door. From the crack of the door, she could see the figure walking outside.

Bang, bang, knocking on the door very hard, made Shi Jing tremble all over.

She ran back to the bed, covered her head with the quilt, no, don't come again...

Perhaps prayer helped, and the knocking on the door finally subsided, but then she heard another sound, it was a window, and someone was smashing at her window.

Although Shi Jing was very scared, she still poked her head out and looked at the window of the bedroom facing outside.

Yanma, who lived in the opposite building, was smashing the window with a stone.

Shi Jing hurried over to open the window, and saw Yanma and his parents holding up a long wooden ladder and stretching over from the opposite window.

Shi Jing understood what they meant, stretched out her hand, took over the wooden ladder and set it up, forming an air bridge between the two buildings.

"Shi Jing! Quick! Climb over!" Yanma shouted at her.

Shi Jing stepped up to the window, but the wooden ladder looked rickety, and she would start to feel dizzy just looking down.Suddenly, she was a little hesitant again, not knowing whether to leave her mother in the house, but also terrified.

Outside the door, there was another knocking sound and a hard slamming sound.

Then, the doorknob began to shake violently.

Shi Jing was so frightened that she quickly climbed up the wooden ladder. She restrained herself from looking down, and climbed to the opposite side in one breath.

When she landed, she was still trembling all over.

Yanma held her cold hand, hurriedly took off his coat, and put it on her body.

"Good boy, it's okay, it's okay." Yanma's parents were also comforting her.

Seeing that she was shaking, Yanma's mother hurriedly brought a coat and wrapped it around her.

Shi Jing and Yanma's family have always had a good relationship. After the strange disease crisis broke out in the town, the mothers often exchanged supplies and news through the window.

But this morning, Yanma's mother noticed that Shi Jing's mother had a strange look in her eyes when she passed the window, and became suspicious.

It's just that Yanma's mother wasn't too nervous at the time, she just mentioned this matter with her son and husband during dinner.

Yanma's father is more vigilant and thinks he should check it out.

So they ventured to the yard and heard Shi Jing's screams from inside the house, confirming their guess even more.

Yanma wanted to run over to save Shi Jing, but Yanma's father thought it was too dangerous to do so.

He had seen those lunatics in the town who had a strange disease, and it was not an ordinary lunatic.

They will gradually become like rabid beasts, biting and scratching everywhere, and even eating anything they see alive.

However, Yanma's rebellion is well known. Yanma's father saw that it was difficult to convince his son, so he thought of checking the situation from the upstairs window first.

At that time, I just saw Shi Jing running into the bedroom in a panic, so I came up with the idea of ​​setting up a wooden ladder to go there.

Yanma's father is a well-known biology professor at a local university. Since the outbreak of the strange disease, Yanma's father has been researching the disease.

It's just that although he is a professor of biology, he is completely unable to explain this strange disease from a biological point of view.

And the more in-depth research he got, the more he couldn't figure it out. He couldn't find any viruses or lesions in the people who got sick and died.

This is more like a collective mental hysteria.

But what the incentive is, he has no way of knowing.
