Doomsday housewives: the head of the family does not bow down

Chapter 23 The Path of Desperation

The main entrance and exit of the community where Mucang lives is at the west gate.

Passing by an outdoor swimming pool.

Simian confirmed her inference that there was indeed a large group of zombies wandering near the swimming pool at night.

Therefore, they cannot take the west entrance.

The south gate is a fire escape reserved for the community. It is an iron gate about three meters high. It is not difficult to climb through it with a child on your back, but...

She tapped her fingers on a small building nearby, which was the community's senior citizen activity center.

The pen in Simian's hand marked three red dots on this small building, "Two chess and card rooms, one reading room, there are zombies."

He put a bracket and marked the number, which is greater than twenty.

Mu Cang couldn't hide his surprise, "Have you stepped on it yet?"

Si Mian saw the doubts in her eyes and said frankly, "This is the high-end community near the Medical University."

The tip of his pen rested on F9 of Building No. [-], "I just rented here this semester, but I rarely come here because of my busy schedule on weekdays."

"Oh!" Mu Cang nodded clearly. There are indeed many well-to-do college students renting here in the community, but only on weekends, and occasionally meet one or two sporadically.

She turned her eyes back to the hand-painted floor plan of the community, "It's easy to be besieged if you walk through the south gate. I just don't know if there is a difference in physical strength between the zombie old man and the zombie strong man."

"Mom." Xiao Zai suddenly put his little head over and asked, "Why don't you go to the garage? When we came back, we didn't see any monsters... or zombies in the garage."

The garage is the first option that Mu Cang ruled out.

She opened the curtains a little bit to let the moonlight into the house, and analyzed it to her son, "Look, it's night, the whole city is cut off, and it's pitch black. Only the open places can have a little moonlight lighting. We On the day I came back, the community had not lost power, and the situation in the garage was clear at a glance. Even if there was danger, we could respond in time. But it is different now, we cannot see them in the dark, but the perception of zombies is evolving, and they may not be invisible Us. Maybe, as we walk, we can bump into zombies."

Xiao Zai was amused by his mother's description, and he pointed to the small solar lamp beside him, "We have light."

Mu Cang patted his son's little head, "When we hold up the lamp, doesn't it become a moving target? With the only light in the darkness, it will be easier for all the zombies to find us."

Not only that, if you encounter someone with malicious intentions, you may use them as bait.

Xiao Zai's big eyes flickered, full of doubts, and he asked, "Dad's car is downstairs. Let's drive out. There are lights on the car."

Mu Cang was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, the disappointment on his face flashed across his face, and he said sadly: "Who knows if the car is there?"

After all, they didn't come here just to pick up their mother and child.

Simian thought the little guy's suggestion was feasible, "The garage can have more than one car."

Seeing that Mucang looked worried and unsteady, he asked again: "Sister, are you afraid of the dark?"

Mu Cang shook his head, the darkness is nothing to fear.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, according to their analysis, the black snow was the chief culprit of this disaster, but the garage is not an open space, so it will not be polluted by the black snow, relatively speaking, it is a relatively safe area.

This is why she was able to cross the garage with relative ease while riding an electric scooter.

It's just that after many days, will this safe area become a favorite in the eyes of many people?
"Mother."

"elder sister."

The two gentlemen, one big and one small, looked at Mucang seriously, waiting for her to make her decision.

Mu Cang took a deep breath and suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart. "Go to the garage. I'll get the spare key."

There is a spare car key in the study drawer. She has never used it, but today, she prays that she can use it.

Before going out, Si Mian took out a road map of the city's main roads from his backpack, and together they made a route out of the city that was least populated and most unpopular.

After all, the bustling main road is now so blocked that it can't get through even with a tank.

Xiao Zai carried his little tiger bag and waved goodbye to the home where he had lived for two and a half years.

He didn't take away any toys. The schoolbag contained only things that his mother said could save his life.

Even the backup power of the elevator was exhausted, and it was useless to swipe the card.

After Mu Cang locked the entrance door, he also locked the fire door outside. In the rest of his life, I hope they can go home again.

The stairs are not too dark, the bright moonlight is reflected in from the glass window at the corner, and accompanied by the sound of frogs one after another, it seems that the surroundings are quiet and peaceful.

Of course, the premise is to ignore the broken limbs on the ground and the large sprays of blood on the walls.

Mucang was carrying a huge mountaineering bag, with a small solar light that was not turned on tied to his left hand, and the re-polished watermelon knife in his right hand, leading the way;

Simian followed closely behind. He was carrying a large leather bag. It was not like the regular backpacks on the market. It was very large, with a diameter of more than one meter, making the spacious building look narrow.

The terrifying big hammer had already been thrown in the corner of the living room, and he did not take it away. At this moment, he was holding Xiao Zai in one hand, and a bow and crossbow assembled by himself in the other. There was also a double-edged dagger on his waist.

There were traces of a tragic battle in the corridor, but along the way, no zombies were found.

They successfully reached the garage level, but found that the fire door at the entrance of the corridor had been locked from the outside.

Mu Cang secretly pushed hard, but it didn't move at all, "We are blocked."

Simian handed Xiao Zai back to Mu Cang's hand, "Let me try."

He pulled out a hair-thin metal wire from the side of the backpack. If it weren't for the blood red wire, it would be hard to see with the naked eye.

He inserted the metal wire through the crack of the door and ran it along the crack, but it was blocked two-thirds of the way through the door panel.

"It's a padlock."

He retracted the wire, as thin as a spider's silk, with an indistinct indentation in it.

Mu Cang turned on the small solar light hanging on his wrist, "Someone locked up the garage?"

Xiao Zai arched into his mother's arms with some anxiety. Ever since his mother turned on the light, he felt as if there was something crawling down the stairs, "Mom, can't we get out?"

Mu Cang pursed her lips, she didn't want to change the route easily, and asked Simian, "With the strength of the two of us, can we forcefully break away?"

If Xiao Zhi's car hadn't driven away, it would have parked in front of the elevator hall, separated by a door, only a dozen or so steps away.Even if there is a noise, as long as the speed is fast enough, the possibility of getting on the car safely is not small.

"You don't need to hit the door." Si Mian just put away the metal wire, brought the bag close to him, and fiddled with it with his long arms, "I have a way, so it won't make a sound."
