CH 5

Jiang Miaomiao sat on the toilet for an hour. She didn't dare to move and her legs were numb before she stood up with her pants on.

The original owner doesn't care about her body. Sometimes, in order to rush to work early, she washes her hair with cold water when there's no hot water in the dormitory. In winter, she also drinks cold water directly which caused her menstruation to be extremely irregular and it would flow heavily when it came.

There's no sanitary pads, but fortunately there are many toilet papers. Jiang Miaomiao tore off a long strip, folded it into a small piece and stuffed it in her underwear.

The toilet paper is non-sticky and would move along when she walks, but it's not waterproof and once soaked, it would stain her pants.

She didn't dare to walk around. She stayed in bed all day and never left her bedroom. Once she feels that familiar feeling again, she would quickly replace it with new toilet papers.

Lu Qiming planned to ignore this, but saw that it was dark and she never went downstairs to eat anything other than breakfast. He couldn't help worrying and came to knock on her door.

Knock Knock Knock.

“Are you hungry? I made stir-fried noodles.”

Jiang Miaomiao was changing the tissue paper in the bathroom and replied, “I'll go when I'm hungry.”

Lu Qiming didn't insist, “Okay, I'll put the noodles on the coffee table.”

After he finished speaking, he went back to his room. Jiang Miaomiao put on her pants and looked at the toilet paper in the trash can.

Every piece of paper was soaked in blood. What to do?

2

In the past, she threw the garbage directly out of the window, but these are fresh human blood. If it's thrown outside, isn't it like shouting at the zombies with a horn: Come, come! There are living people here to eat!

After thinking about it, she decided to burn it all.

Thus, she went downstairs with a trash can, found a small iron bucket, poured some diesel into it then poured the papers inside and lit it.

Diesel oil is particularly flammable and the flames would flicker high.

1

Jiang Miaomiao was afraid of burning the house so she crouched next to it and waited for the fire to go out.

Lu Qiming heard the movement downstairs. He picked up a stool as a weapon and went down the stairs to check.

In the flickering light of the fire, a girl was squatting beside the iron bucket in white pajamas. Her small pale face was illuminated by the fire into different light and dark colors. A group of blood was slowly blooming on her pants.

3

“What are you doing?” He put down the stool.

“Nothing, you go back.”

She didn't want to talk to a man she had only known for a few days.

“It's night time, the hearing and vision of the zombies are at its peak. If they found that there's fire light here, they would definitely gather here.”

She gave a cry, “What should I do then?”

“Put it out first.”

Lu Qiming found a washbasin as a lid and put it on the bucket. The fire was soon extinguished.

1

“I have to find one…”

After squatting for too long, she continued to bleed and after getting up, her eyesight turned black and she fell back straight.

Lu Qiming's eyes were fast and his hands swiftly supported her.

It took a few seconds before she opened her eyes again. Her hands and feet were cold and her body was stiff.

“Thank you. I... I'll go back to my room to lie down.”

Jiang Miaomiao pushed away his hand and walked upstairs using the wall as support.

Lu Qiming said: “You better change clothes.”

“Ah?”

“Your pants…”

He paused. Jiang Miaomiao touched her back and felt the blood. She immediately understood what he meant. Her face turned red then she quickened her pace. She closed her room door and never came out again.

The blood was burned and it produces a peculiar taste. The smell drifted through the gaps in the windows and made the zombies restless.

3

Lu Qiming used the 84 disinfectant liquid to make a spray and sprayed every window again, and closed it tightly. He then climbed out of the ventilation duct in his room with a bucket.

Due to the absence of a sanitary pad, Jiang Miaomiao couldn't sleep well all night. She dared not move when lying down. She barely squinted for a while and fell asleep. When she woke up, she had a stiff neck, she gritted her teeth because of the pain and it's just worse.

4

She hadn't eaten yesterday and she's starving. She stroked her deflated belly and decided to put aside her shame.

What is a menstruation? It's the end of the world where flesh and blood were flying!

So what if her clothes are dirty. She wants to live a normal life.

Jiang Miaomiao lifted her quilt and stuck a plastic bag on her butt to prevent leakage. She stopped caring and strode outwards. She suddenly caught sight of something on the bedside table. She stared at it in a daze.

The thing was not big. It's a small cuboid and the packaging bag was black. The bold and enlarged colorful fonts on the front are particularly conspicuous.

Sophie super sleep 420.

This... Where did this come from?

Sanitary pad from the sky?

“Lu Qiming!”

Jiang Miaomiao shouted and Lu Qiming came over with a big bowl in his hands.

“What's the matter?”

“You put this thing here?”

He glanced and nodded.

“Where did you get it? Did you go out last night? How did you get out with so many zombies out there?”

Lu Qiming replied: “How can I go out? Isn't that courting death? I found it in the basement.”

“How could there be in the basement? I didn't buy it at all.”

“Maybe you have forgotten that you bought it or someone else might have made a wrong delivery. If so, then just use it. Is it possible to return it now?”

Jiang Miaomiao thought about it too, she waved her hand and said:

“Fine, you go out... Eh, what's inside that bowl you're holding?”

“Chicken for stewing.”

“...Where did you get that chicken? If you dare touch my pickled chicken feet, I will desperately fight with you.”

Lu Qiming sneered, “Who stews chicken with pickled chicken feet? When I was looking for something in the basement, I found a chicken.”

Jiang Miaomiao didn't believe it. She went over to check and it was really a fresh chicken.

She hasn't eaten fresh food in a long time. She smelled the raw chicken and couldn't help licking her lower lip.

“How come there's chicken in the basement?”

3

“It must have come from some hole.”

“The next time a chicken comes in, don't kill it.”

“Why?”

“Keep it to lay eggs!”

2

What a beautiful day.

Lu Qiming went down the stairs to stew the chicken soup. Jiang Miaomiao changed into clean clothes and put on her sanitary pad. She cleaned up her room and bathroom, and felt like she was alive again.

After the chicken soup was simmered, she drank two bowls at once and ate a bowl of rice with chicken.

Lu Qiming frowned, “If those zombies saw the way you're eating right now, they would definitely get frightened.”

After eating, Jiang Miaomiao sat down on a chair while touching her belly contentedly. She lazily said:

“For the sake of your good craftsmanship, jie jie won't argue with you.”

He laughed, “Whose elder sister are you?”

“Yours of course. You're not convinced? How old are you?”

“26.”

“Hey, I'm 27.”

“Impossible.”

4

“I can't help it. It's natural beauty. 27 but looks like 17.”

After she was full, she felt sleepy. She yawned and went back to bed.

Since that day, some good things have appeared in the basement from time to time.

Three or four potatoes.

Carrots secretly growing in the corner.

Withered apples.

There are also chickens, ducks and rabbits. If there's a river nearby, it might even have fish.

Jiang Miaomiao couldn't help but wonder if she rented a Feng Shui treasure land, otherwise how could her luck be so good?

However, when her great aunt left, she recovered her strength and went to the basement to check it out in person. She didn't encounter such a good thing, but found another thing.

Her basement... Why is it empty?

There are only a few packages of poor instant noodles on the shelf.

Where is her beef jerky? What about her river snail rice noodles? What about her spicy pickled chicken feet?

“Lu Qiming!”

Jiang Miaomiao's heart was shaking.

The man ran down wearing small floral printed panties.

“What's the matter?”

“Where are my things?”

He looked serious and said: “Maybe it was eaten by a mouse.”

Jiang Miaomiao believed that he was a ghost and threw her fist to beat him.

“Woo woo woo, you white eyed wolf! I kindly took you in, but you actually ate all my stuff! And now what? Wait and starve to death?”

Her head was dizzy due to too much blood loss two days ago and she was glad that there was someone taking care of her, but she didn't expect to lead a wolf into the house!

Lu Qiming's muscles weren't trained in vain. She beat him hard, but it didn't even hurt him, she hurt her own hands instead.

Jiang Miaomiao completely lost her temper and went back to the living room without expression. She sat on the chair and didn't speak.

Lu Qiming handed her a glass of water and she scolded when she opened her mouth.

“Go away and leave me alone!”

“Are you really angry?”

How can she not be angry? She wasn't killed by zombies, but she'll starve to death. Just thinking about it makes her sad.

Lu Qiming said, “Why don't we go out and find some supplies?”

She sneered, “You go and I'll read the old mantra for you.”

“Don't be so pessimistic, as long as we find the right way, we can come back safely.”

Jiang Miaomiao didn't listen, “Is there any way? Can we be friends with the zombies hand in hand?”

1

Lu Qiming was very patient.

“I have been observing them these days and I've found thier pattern. When the temperature is high at noon, most zombies will automatically go to the shade and only about one third of them are left outside.”

There are tens of millions of zombies in this city, even if it's only one third, there are millions. What's the difference?

He continued: “By then, there were only more than two hundred people in the community. As long as we are fast enough to use other things to attract their attention, we can leave this neighborhood. Do you know where the nearest convenience store or supermarket is?”

“There's a Mei Yi Jia at the door of the community.”

“Okay, we'll go there.”

”Wait!” Jiang Miaomiao asked quickly: “You said we should be fast enough. How are we fast if we only have two legs?”

Lu Qiming pushed her to the window and pointed out.

“Look.”

Outside the yard, there was a white sports car parked in perfect condition.

Jiang Miaomiao: “...I've been living here for a month or two and never seen any car there!”

Lu Qiming said: “People always pay attention to what they want to pay attention to. It's always been there and you have ignored it.”

2

“Impossible!”

“How many moles are on my face?”

"..." Jiang Miaomiao looked on tiptoe.

“I don't have moles.” Lu Qiming said: “You can't fully notice all the details you see every day, let alone the car parked outside the courtyard.”

13

Jiang Miaomiao was persuaded by him and thought of another problem.

1

“What are you going to use to attract their attention?”

Lu Qiming told her to wait for a while. He walked into the bathroom and came out with some black garbage bags.

The garbage bags are relatively thin and Jiang Miaomiao recognized what was inside at a glance, and she almost threw up.

“You pervert!”

2

She's been wondering how her sanitary pads went missing.

Lu Qiming didn't care.

“Zombies have a keen sense of smell and are familiar with the smell of human blood. Once they smell it, they will gather together. We just need to use this to lead them away and drive back quickly to replenish supplies.”

1

Jiang Miaomiao still felt disgusted, but accepted defeat.

Attracting zombies with menstrual blood is as shameful as running around naked.

Lu Qiming said casually: “I remember that there are a lot of delicious food in the convenience store, including potato chips, spicy beef jerky, chocolate and self heating rice pot. By the way, the self heating rice pot has braised meat flavor. Do you want to eat braised pork?”

2

Jiang Miaomiao couldn't help swallowing her saliva and succumbed to his temptation.

“Want.”

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the blazing sun hangs high and the bright sunlight was piercing everyone's eyes.

Lu Qiming put the garbage bags into the bucket, climbed to the roof of the Villa and threw the bucket away in the opposite direction.

The smell of blood came out and the zombies were all around, including the little star and golden half buttocks who always wandered outside the window.

After confirming that there were no zombies beside the car, he returned to the living room and said to Jiang Miaomiao:

“You can go.”

The latter thought of the horror of being bitten to death and her heart skipped a beat. 

“Why don't you go, I won't go. I'm so weak and I will only drag you down…”

Lu Qiming moved the sofa away, opened the door, walked without a word and pulled her out while groaning.
