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

Chapter 3 The Instinct of the Weak

There are only 5 minutes, and the theater is about to close.

Now there are no staff in the theater hall, which means that the people inside the mall have quietly evacuated after receiving the news.

It has only been more than ten minutes since the incident. Did they move too fast?

This sudden change made Mucang still feel that the situation was unreal at this moment, and she secretly expected it to be a national crisis drill, just like the fire drills and earthquake drills she had experienced.

At the moment, although the fifth floor is noisy and everyone is in danger, there is not a single zombie.

She wondered whether the zombies biting people at the entrance to the shopping mall on the first floor might not have gone upstairs.

Based on the situation at the subway entrance, it took less than 2 minutes from being bitten to zombified.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

The surrounding area must have fallen.

There are two reasons why these zombies did not attack the mall directly.

One is that they swept floor by floor, and they haven't bitten the fifth floor yet; the other is that some warriors closed all the passages from downstairs to upstairs.

No matter which one it is, as the theater ends, a large number of audiences who don't know the truth go downstairs, which will break this short-term balance.

Breaking through is only a matter of time.

Mucang's hands and feet were shaking unconsciously, because he was too nervous and his brain was running at high speed, but he was surprisingly calm.

Right now, it is only a time war.Fight for time to survive and wait for official rescue.

Zombies...

Zombies that only appear in TV series actually appear!It's all so fantasy!

Scary and unreal, like a nightmare.

Mu Cang protected Xiao Zai in his arms, rubbed against the corner of the wall, and moved against the crowd.

People scrambling around and fleeing in all directions headed for the office area to the west.

It is the office area for shopping mall staff, including the control room, broadcast room, offices of leaders and employees, lounges, etc. It has doors, walls, water, telephones, faxes, and the Internet. It is a place where everyone consciously runs safe zone.

Mu Cang went in the opposite direction.

"Mother."

Xiao Zai pointed to the direction of the crowd, and found that his mother was walking further and further away.

"It's okay Zaizai, sometimes the weak need to know how to avoid the strong."

Mu Cang pressed Xiao Zai's small head on his shoulder, relying on his soaring adrenal glands, he rushed eastward in one go.

To the east of the mall is a large indoor children's playground. There is a separate staircase next to the playground that leads directly to the rooftop.

The rooftop is Mu Cang's destination this time.

This rooftop was contracted by an indoor amusement park and transformed into an outdoor swimming pool.

So the original shopping mall stairs were blocked.

The only way to go directly to the rooftop is the indoor amusement park. Moreover, it was raining this morning. According to the usual practice, the outdoor swimming pool is closed.

In other words, the rooftop is the place with the fewest people in the entire shopping mall.

It will be safer if there are fewer people and less chaos.

Holding his son in his arms, Mu Cang walked into the indoor children's playground with ease, jumped over the turnstile, and walked towards the stairs next to the aquarium.

"Cub, stand still."

She put her son on the steps, freed her hand, closed the fire door at the entrance of the corridor, and pinned a mop to the handle in reverse.

Although this trick protects against gentlemen but not against villains.

She only wished that the zombies were like those in the TV series, with simple minds but blind eyes.

Mu Cang clasped his hands together and prayed urgently, then he leaned over to pick up his son and walked softly towards the rooftop.

At this moment, she was extremely cautious.

Almost even the sound of panting was strictly controlled, like a wandering spirit, quietly floated to the rooftop.

The swimming pool in the center of the top floor has no water at the moment, it seems to have just been cleaned, and there are many tools placed in the corner of the swimming pool.

This swimming pool is a children's pool, with the deepest point 1.2 meters and the shallowest point less than [-] centimeters.

There is also a small water park next to it, which stores water with a depth of less than [-] centimeters.

The open space near the swimming pool is paved with artificial turf, with some small amusement facilities such as seesaws, wooden horses, and rocking cars placed on it.

"Mom, Mom, I want to play."

Seeing this, Xiao Zai's face blossomed with joy, and he was about to go down.

Mu Cang looked around carefully and made sure that there were no other people or zombies, so he put his son into the swimming pool in the shallow water area, and said: "You can only play ocean ball, you are not allowed to go to the water park, and you are not allowed to make big blows." Voice, okay?"

Xiao Zai nodded, flipped up his calves, and rolled into the ocean ball.

Mu Cang took advantage of this gap and quickly moved a few deck chairs to block the entrance to the rooftop.

"Be prepared."

After confirming that there were no omissions, she breathed a sigh of relief, slumped on the edge of the pool, and took out the mobile phone in her pocket with shaking hands.

Since the birth of her son, in order to avoid the sudden ringing of the mobile phone and disturb the child's sleep, she has kept her mobile phone almost 24 hours a day for more than two years.

Whether you can answer the call or not depends entirely on fate.

After unlocking the screen with my fingerprint, I found that there were no missed calls.

I remember hearing people complaining in the elevator that they couldn't make calls on their cell phones.

Mu Cang tentatively dialed a number...

Very good, can't get through.

The signal is full, but the other party keeps busy.

Mu Cang crossed off Xiao Zhi's call, and called her father who was far away in Fucheng again.

Still can't get through.

Whether it's father, elder sister, younger brother... She swiped through the address book and called one by one, but they couldn't get through.

I tried the official emergency number again, and got the expected busy signal.

Mu Cang stopped his fingers and stopped blindly consuming power.

The current inability to make calls is not because the communication base station is faulty; it is because there are too many people calling at the same time.

She held her phone and looked at the little Zai Zai who was having a great time in the dry swimming pool, silently counting down from one hundred in her heart.

Take a gamble!
Zombies don't make phone calls.

As there are fewer and fewer survivors, the problem of communication line congestion will be alleviated.

There are fewer and fewer survivors, and survival will become increasingly difficult.

Mu Cang smiled bitterly.

Even after she got divorced, she was judged as unable to live with her children. In the last days, how could she survive with her children?

A hundred seconds later, she swiped through the address book to dial again, and after clicking on Xiao Zhi's number, she made a beep and dialed.

beep--

beep--

beep--

……

Obviously, Xiao Zhi didn't answer the phone.

Mu Cang's brain buzzed suddenly, as if a string was broken.

Xiao Zhi, is he dead?
died……

Her mood was complicated, her nose felt sore for no reason, her vision became blurred, and big tears welled up unconsciously.

They had been in a cold war for half a year, and had agreed that they would never meet again. She was obviously very resentful and resentful, but when she thought of that man dying at the mouth of a zombie, Mu Cang still couldn't control the sadness in his heart.

She may not have a husband, but her son... really doesn't have a father.

Xiao Zhi!

Mu Cang called Xiao Zhi's number over and over again, with vigor, as if possessed by a demon.

boom--

There was a sudden crisp sound next to her ear, which made her almost drop her phone in fright. When she turned her head to look, she found an aunt dressed as a cleaner standing at the top of the stairs!
