The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 52 "Crazy" Animals

DAY73

When Lu Yuan woke up, it was already six o'clock the next morning. Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao had just relieved Qin Yuan and Lin Yun of their shift. As dawn broke, Qin Yuan and Lin Yun returned to their double room to rest. Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang, on the other hand, were curled up on the sofa and asleep, just like him.

Lu Yuan rubbed his neck. Sleeping on the sofa was really uncomfortable, but he was genuinely afraid to go back to his room to sleep alone. After getting his toiletries from the bedroom bathroom, he still went to the living room bathroom to wash up. He had a strange sense of dread, a feeling that something unexpected might happen.

Lu Yuan took out breakfast for three people, handed one to Pei Sihao who was observing with a telescope, and then sat down at the table to eat as well.

Gu Nanfeng launched the drone through the ventilation window and began surveying the entire park. After adjusting the observation screen, he sat down to eat breakfast.

"Nothing happened last night?" Lu Yuan glanced at Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang, who were still fast asleep on the sofa in the living room, and asked Gu Nanfeng in a low voice.

"When Brother Qin and the others were on night duty, they saw that some of the zombies that had gathered earlier had left. They don't know where they went to hide again. Nothing else happened," Gu Nanfeng replied in a low voice.

"It seems the zombies around here have also hidden themselves. I looked around just now and didn't see a single one." Pei Sihao took his breakfast and sat back down at the table to chat with the two of them.

"I always have a bad feeling." Lu Yuan thought of the empty eyes of the zombie in the suit yesterday, and he felt goosebumps all over his body. He just felt uncomfortable.

"You're just imagining things," Pei Sihao comforted him. "After all, I wouldn't feel comfortable being stared at like that by a zombie."

"Holy shit!" Gu Nanfeng cursed. He was usually polite and never swore, so this immediately caught the attention of Lu Yuan and Pei Sihao.

They noticed that Gu Nanfeng was staring intently at the drone's display, so they leaned over and took a look too. What they saw there stunned them both.

The monitor screen showed the same zombie in the suit from yesterday, grinning with its gleaming white teeth. Although its eyes were empty, it felt like it was staring straight at you, laughing without restraint. From the display's angle, it appeared to have acquired the drone and was facing the camera, watching them intently.

The drone's camera slowly zoomed out, and it looked like something was grabbing the drone from above. The zombie in the suit still looked like it had been bombed twice yesterday. Its suit was tattered, and its body was covered in the flesh and blood of its kind. But apart from the two hidden daggers from Lu Yuan, it didn't have any other external injuries.

"It's a bird!" Gu Nanfeng judged from the slightly undulating drone camera that a large bird had grabbed the drone.

"Holy crap!" Upon hearing Gu Nanfeng's words, Pei Sihao immediately went to the French windows to look at the telescope. Before he could even bend down, he saw countless birds of all kinds flying towards their window through the slightly parted curtains.

After the flock of birds flew a certain distance, they stopped and began to throw the stones they were holding in their claws at the window. Although the attack was fierce, it was still quite amusing to watch, since Pei Sihao knew that even if he kept smashing the glass like that all day, he wouldn't be able to break it.

The loud banging woke Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang, who were fast asleep in the living room. Lin Yun and Qin Yuan in the room were not spared either. Everyone went to the French windows. When the curtains were opened, a dense flock of birds outside threw stones at the window in waves. The scene was quite spectacular.

At the same time, Pei Sihao's satellite phone rang. It was his second brother, Pei Siji, calling. As soon as he answered, he heard his brother's anxious voice, "You must be careful of animals!"

"Have all the animals in Beijing come out?" Pei Sihao asked, having seen the situation before him, he could roughly guess what was going on in Beijing.

"Holy crap, this is just like Zootopia." Pei Siji didn't have time to explain in detail, he just told them to be careful of the pipes in the room, and then hurriedly hung up the phone. It seemed that Beijing was also in trouble.

Reminded by Pei Siji, the seven people in the room quickly closed the curtains and rushed into the four bathrooms to clog the toilets, bathtubs, sinks, and floor drains.

Fortunately, the group reacted quickly, and none of the bathrooms had any problems. Just as they returned to the living room and were about to sit down and rest, Lu Yuan suddenly stood up and rushed to the kitchen. They had completely forgotten about the kitchen.

When Lu Yuan rushed to the semi-open kitchen doorway, a snake as thick as a wrist was about to emerge from the sink, accompanied by many unknown insects. Lu Yuan reacted quickly, taking out two bottles of insecticide from his spatial storage and spraying them into the sink drain.

The insecticide had a pungent smell and sprayed it all over the face of the snake that was just emerging. The snake retreated, and Gu Nanfeng, who followed, covered his mouth and nose with one hand and rushed over to block the drain with a towel.

After some maneuvering, the snake was kept outside, but a large number of mosquitoes still managed to get in. Fortunately, the insecticide he had taken out of his spatial storage was quite potent; after Lu Yuan sprayed it around, some of them died, and the remaining ones dared not approach them for the time being. After all, the smell of this insecticide was truly unbearable.

After handing the insecticide to Qin Yuan and Lin Yun, Lu Yuan started taking out gas masks, raincoats, and gloves to equip everyone. After all, they didn't know what would happen if they were bitten by these mosquitoes, so they had to take precautions.

Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao, who had returned, changed into protective suits and took over from Qin Yuan and Lin Yun to spray insecticide in the kitchen. Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang took two tennis racket-like objects from Lu Yuan. To be honest, these objects were completely beyond their capabilities; they had never seen anything like them before.

Lu Yuan himself had never seen it before, but when he searched for "mosquito killer" in his space, it appeared in the first slot, so it must be useful. He pressed the red button on the racket handle, then swung it. The mosquitoes that touched the racket fell down and died with two "slap" sounds.

"Holy crap, that's amazing!" Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang also turned on the switch and started waving it at the mosquitoes. Fortunately, they reacted quickly, and not many mosquitoes got in; they were all electrocuted in a few seconds.

"So this is the legendary electric mosquito swatter!" Lin Yun exclaimed. With the advancement of technology, mosquito nets or repellent devices are ubiquitous in our environments. Let alone today's college students, even their parents' generation probably had very few people who had ever seen one. Lin Yun had only seen a broken one once when he was helping his master organize tools at a repair shop; at the time, he thought it was a tennis racket.

After eliminating the mosquitoes, the group sealed the kitchen drain tightly and carefully checked the airtightness of the entire house. Only then did Lu Yuan take out the air purifier to remove the insecticide smell from the room. He also set up a robot vacuum to clean up the dead mosquitoes on the floor. Once the air purifier showed that the air quality had returned to normal, the group removed their gas masks.

Just as they relaxed, they faintly heard the sound of an air raid siren.
