Chapter 2

"Mu Cang! Did you listen to me? I'm thirsty here! Just ignore me over there! Just let me worry about you! Don't talk about it! It's time for my mother to collect the clothes, oh shit !Which melon rind shakes so much soot on my old lady's quilt?"

Mu Su howled at the top of his lungs on the other end of the phone and hung up.

Soot?

Mu Cang looked at the gradually thinning black snowflakes in the sky, thoughtful.

Xiao Zai was a little worried when he saw that the phone screen went black, "Mom, if we don't go back to Fucheng, my aunt will be really vicious."

Mu Cang pinched his round little face and said, "Your aunt has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't be afraid! She won't be mean to anyone she is mean to, our lovely Zai Zai."

Xiao Zai frowned and didn't believe it. During the Chinese New Year, his aunt and uncle even dragged him into a mixed doubles match.

Mu Cang looked at the increasingly darker sky, feeling inexplicably panicked. She picked up the shopping bag with one hand and her son with the other, preparing to go home.

"Mom, pee."

Xiao Zai held the thermos kettle and shivered.

Mu Cang instantly became vigilant, picked up the 30-pound cub with one hand, and ran towards the elevator entrance!
"Hold it! Be sure to hold it back!"

The closest bathroom is the bathroom next to the elevator, but unfortunately the first floor is locked due to maintenance.

I had no choice but to rush into the elevator and go to the second floor.

Fortunately, the bathroom near the elevator entrance on the second floor can still be used normally.

She brought Xiao Zai to the bathroom on the second floor, and was about to wash his hands after finishing his physical needs...

"Mom, Zai Zai wash it yourself."

Mu Cang is cultivating Xiao Zai's living habits recently, and the little guy is enjoying it endlessly.

"But this washstand is very high."

She glanced at the mother and baby room next to her and saw that there was no one inside, so she carried Xiao Zai into the mother and baby room.

The children's washstand inside is just right for him to use.

Seeing him earnestly rubbing soap with hand sanitizer, Mu Cang smiled slightly, and casually glanced out the window.

There was an intersection in front of the shopping mall. It seemed that there was a car accident. The cars crashed into a pile in a mess, and people ran away in a mess.

Mu Cang squinted his eyes, wanting to see more carefully, so he pushed the window next to him open a crack.

After pushing away, I realized that it was very noisy outside, with car horns, police whistles, collisions, and crying and howling, and the scene was very chaotic.

She frowned and looked down the second floor, just in time to see a man covered in blood, frantically hitting the glass door with his upper body.

This man was bleeding like this. He must have been seriously injured. Why did he run away without waiting for an ambulance?

"Mom, I'm fine."

Xiao Zai held up his wet little hands and waited for his mother to wipe them.

Mu Cang felt uneasy, so he quickly looked back and closed the glass window.

She dried her son's hands with a tissue and hurriedly carried her son into the elevator again.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw a lot of people in front of me, and I heard a tall and thin young man next to him say: "Is it true? Are there zombies? Is it a flash mob event?"

Another person asked: "Is today April Fool's Day or Halloween? No, it's summer..."

A girl next to him snorted, "I think it's the Hungry Ghost Festival, and business activities are becoming more and more bottomless."

With a height of 1.6 meters [-], Mu Cang couldn't see what was happening outside the human wall at all, he could only vaguely hear crying and wailing, and shouts for help.

"Wow, holy shit! Biting! It's true!"

There was a sudden commotion in the front row, and the crowd rushed back crazily.

Mu Cang threw away the shopping bag, hugged her son and backed away, just as the elevator door opened, she was directly bumped into the elevator by the crowd.

"Quick! Close, close, close, close the elevator!"

Someone hurriedly shut down the elevator.

"What's the situation?"

"Who was calling just now?"

"I don't know, I just run along."

"It looks like someone was hurt."

"He seems to be a lunatic. He bites everyone he sees."

"I'm afraid it's not a lunatic, but a mad dog?"

"Why did I hear someone yelling at zombies?"

……

There was a lot of chatter and noise in the elevator car.

Mu Cang was dazed, he didn't see what was going on outside, he was still regretting that her shopping bag must have been trampled to pieces.

When we arrived on the second floor, no one got out of the elevator.

People inside are unwilling to go out, and people outside cannot squeeze in.

The elevator started and stopped, all the way up.

The entire shopping mall has a total of five floors. The top floor is a movie theater, gym, indoor playground, etc.

Some people are complaining: "Why can't the phone call go out!"

Someone is asking: "Is there no signal in the elevator? We can't hide in the elevator all the time. What's going on outside?"

Someone is complaining: "If you want to know what's going on, go out and find out yourself!"

Someone retorted: "Could it be that you will never go out for the rest of your life?"

At this time, the elevator stopped and the fifth floor arrived.

If you don't get out of the elevator, you have to follow the elevator down.

"Let's go."

I don’t know who started it, but everyone got out of the elevator with a loud cheer.

Mu Cang hugged his son and walked out following the footsteps of others.

She was still at a loss as to what was going on now, but the uneasiness in her heart became clearer.

About a dozen people came out of the elevator. Everyone looked at each other and opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to say.

"There's a window over there, let's go and see."

The person who spoke was a gentle man in his 30s, wearing metal-rimmed glasses.

"Look, look, look..."

Everyone swarmed away in the direction of his finger.

Mu Cang hugged his son and followed closely.

"Mom, I want to go home."

Xiao Zai hugged his mother's neck tightly, apparently frightened by this sudden situation.

"Back, I'll be back in a minute."

She leaned close to the glass window and looked at the road outside the shopping mall. The wide intersection was completely paralyzed at the moment, cars of all sizes were jammed in a mess, and there were no people on the sidewalk under the sycamore tree.

There were mottled blood stains everywhere on the ground.

"Strange, what about people?"

Someone was looking through the window, and someone was making phone calls over and over again.

too fast……

In less than 10 minutes, a huge place suddenly became empty.

Traffic has been paralyzed. Where have the drivers and passengers in the hundreds of vehicles been jammed?There are also people shopping, is it possible that they can still fly?
Thinking about this, Mucang suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky. The black snowflakes began to gather together and fly all over the sky, like a huge net, coming from all directions!

A girl yelled: "There's someone at the subway entrance!"

Everyone looked over and saw that the No. [-] subway exit of Line [-] was on the side of the intersection.

At this moment, a boy in black wearing a hoodie was looking out.

The beer-bellied uncle next to Mucang slapped the glass and shouted, "Hey! Young man! Look here! What's going on outside?"

The boy in the hoodie seemed to be aware of it, and was raising his head and taking a step outside, when suddenly a woman with disheveled hair rushed out from the subway entrance, threw him to the ground, and bit him on the face!

"what!"

Everyone screamed in fright.

Mu Cang quickly covered his son's eyes and took a step back.

What's this?Zombies?Are they really zombies?

When she was in college, she watched American dramas such as "The Walking Dead" and "Zombie City", and she still had a little idea about zombies.

Right now my heart is beating wildly.

Mu Cang hugged her son Xiao Zai tightly, the excessive panic made her stiff for a moment, but she didn't open her teeth and claws like others and fled around.

"Mother."

Xiao Zai's eyes were covered and he could only hear some roars and didn't know what was going on.

Mu Cang pressed his son's little face hard against his chest and repeated: "Be good, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay..."

She turned sideways and looked out through the window again——

The boy in the black hoodie was gone.

There was only a pool of scarlet blood left on the ground, flowing down the curb into the gutter.

Mu Cang couldn't help murmuring, "He was eaten?"

"No, it must have turned into a zombie. He and the woman returned to the No. [-] subway station."

It was the man with glasses who spoke.

"Four fifty-two."

He turned sideways and glanced at the display screen in the studio hall, "Two movies will end in 5 minutes, and there will be about [-] spectators coming out of the studio. They don't know the situation, and they will definitely go downstairs .so……"

Mu Cang suggested subconsciously: "Use the radio in the mall to inform them to avoid dispersing."

The bespectacled man looked at Mucang with a complicated expression, then at the child in her arms, and asked, "How old is it?"

Mu Cang was taken aback, and replied, "Two and a half years old."

He raised his glasses, concealed the hesitation in his eyes, and said, "Seek good luck."

Then, he turned around and ran quickly towards the fire escape.

A few people who took the elevator together hesitated for a moment, and ran in the direction of the man with glasses.

Holding his son in his arms, Mu Cang chased a few steps towards the fire exit, then suddenly stopped, turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
