"It's not easy to survive in the outside environment. Maybe people who are still alive today will be dead when they go to save them tomorrow."

Chen Bin's words reminded Cao Shengli of the day when Qiao Xingyu and Lao Huan arrived at the church. They were already dying in the storage room. If Qiao Xingyu and his family came a little later, they might have fallen on the ground and rotted like the man in the opposite room for a long time.

With this in mind, Cao Shengli is no longer entangled.

The little girl dragged out a large mountain climbing bag from the house, which was full.

"What's in it?" Chen Bin was very curious when he saw this mountaineering bag that almost reached Cai Ji's chest.

"Clothes, sneakers, food, blankets, flints, alcohol, tents and summer homework."

"What, what are you doing with your summer homework?" Cao Shengli and Dafei were shocked when Cai Ji finished.

"Do your homework. The teacher said that learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall behind. No matter what time, you can't fall behind."

"Xiaoji, you don't need to bring food and homework. We have a lot of food to go to. There's no need to worry about homework. Your other classmates may not have done it, and the teacher won't have the opportunity to check it." Chen Bin tried to persuade Cai Ji to lighten the burden of the mountain bag.

"No, the teachers at the summer camp said that food is the most indispensable thing to explore, and these are all things that the teachers taught us to use in the wild." The little girl shook her head and didn't take Chen Bin's advice. It seemed that she regarded this trip as an outdoor adventure.

"OK..." Chen Bin was a little speechless. He could only ask Cao Shengli to help Cai Ji carry the mountain bag.

The four of them were about to leave here. Cai Ji suddenly ran into the room inside, took out a photo frame from there, and stuffed it into the mountaineering bag.

"What is that?" Dafei asked.

"Family photo," Cai Ji clapped his hand on the mountaineering bag. After confirming that everything was packed, he was relieved.

"Let's go. When we go downstairs later, Lao Cao, you have to work hard to hold Xiaoji. Let's hurry down." Chen Bin turned back and told Cao Shengli behind him, then said to Cai Ji: "Xiaoji, no matter what you see, you must keep quiet and never make any noise, you know?"

"Well," the little girl nodded forcefully and then closed her mouth.

"If we make a noise and the monster hears it, we can't go out. We're here to protect you. Don't be afraid."

"OK," Cai Ji gestured and stopped making a sound.

Dafei took the lead, Cao Shengli carried a mountain bag, led Cai Ji in the middle, and Chen Bin in the back.

After leaving Cai Ji's house, the four of them quietly walked to the stairwell. The little girl came out of the house for the first time in these days and just looked around strangely.

Cai Ji saw that the door of his neighbor's uncle's house was open, and was about to speak. Suddenly he remembered what Chen Bin had said: don't make any noise. He quickly closed his mouth again.

Walking to the door of the staircase, Cao Shengli picked up Cai Ji. Cai Ji put his arms around his neck. When he saw the three uncles, they all looked serious, and some were infected by the atmosphere.

Dafei pushes open the door of the staircase and enters the corridor. The air inside is much worse than that in CAI Ji's house. Obviously, the little girl has not adapted to the outside environment. The putrid smell enters her nose, which makes the little girl very uncomfortable. After holding her breath for a while, Cai Ji's face turned red. When she couldn't help it, she breathed again. Her small hand kept covering her nose, and her face was very ugly.

"Xiao Ji, close your eyes for a moment," Chen Bin whispered to Cai Ji when he was about to go down to the ninth floor.

Cai Ji did not know why Chen Bin closed his eyes, but he obediently closed his eyes.

The rotten smell in the staircase is more intense. Cao Shengli follows Dafei and carefully bypasses the rotten corpse beside the stairs. When Chen Bin passes by, he vaguely sees the maggots still crawling on the corpse.

"Are you ready?" Cai Ji asked in a low voice.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

"Not yet. I'll call you when it's ready." Chen Bin saw that Cai Ji was almost to cry because of the rotten air. The way the little girl tried to hold back her tears made him feel sad.

The zombie who was killed on the seventh floor is leaning against the wall, still keeping the same appearance as when Dafei put it. The speed of going downstairs is much faster than that of going upstairs. Chen Bin and others did not spend much time on the first floor. When we walked out of the door of the stairs, we rushed towards the monkey's black SUV.

The monkey sitting in the car saw Chen Bin and others rush out of the building. He quickly opened the front and rear doors. Dafei dashed into the car with an arrow and pulled the door of the co pilot. Chen Bin and Cao Shengli holding Cai Ji went to the back seat.

The monkey is ready to start the car and return to the east gate of the community. Chen Bin asks him to wait a little while and tells him about grandma Luo mentioned by Cai Ji.

"So we really have to go and have a look," the monkey looked at Cai Ji and asked, "little girl, where does grandma Luo live?"

Cai Ji sat in the car and looked around. After confirming the location, he pointed to the front and said, "well, it's a little far ahead. Just turn around. Grandma Luo's house is on the first floor. There is a big yard."

"Go and see what's going on. Maybe the man is still there." Chen Bin is not willing to give up any survivors. It is really unexpected that he can find Cai Ji today. The fact that a little girl can survive alone for so long also subverts some of her previous concepts. Before that, Chen Bin's view of survivors was that there is no one in ten, and the old and weak have the lowest probability of survival.

The monkey started the car and drove the other four people in the direction pointed by Cai Ji. The monkey in that position has a little impression. It seems to be a middle-aged aunt's house. The monkey has never seen the aunt's husband, only remembers that the aunt planted many flowers in the yard on the first floor.

The car came to a corner. Just as the car turned past, the monkey suddenly stopped the car.

The turning road leads directly to the gate of the community. The road surface is more spacious than other roads in the community. There are several cars parked in front that seem to have been scrapped, and several zombies shuttle between the cars.

The yard of the first floor residents is surrounded by rows of iron railings along the roadside. Some residents have also installed a glass wall inside the iron railings, which is sealed with waterproof materials, and the yard is transformed into a large house that does not affect the lighting.

Mrs. Luo's house mentioned by Cai Ji is right here. A path with a width of about half a meter has been trampled on the turf between the green belt and the yard. The path connects the outside road and the small gate of the yard. Through the glass wall of the yard, you can roughly see the situation inside.

There was no human figure inside. It seems that grandma Luo is not in the yard.

On both sides of the path, a rose was planted at a certain distance. At this time, the branches and leaves had withered. We didn't get out of the car in a hurry. Instead, we stayed in the car and observed the surrounding conditions.

When the monkey drove away the zombies before, it didn't go this way. Instead, it made a circle around the largest inner circle in the community, took the zombies to the other side of the community and began to shake them off. In a short time, there will be no zombies on the way, and the road leading to the gate of the community is hard to say.

The monkey slowly drove the car onto the green belt and parked outside the small door of the yard. The car body turned sideways, blocking the direction of the community gate.

"Lao Cao, you and the little girl stay in the car. Let's go down." Said the monkey.

"Can't I go down?" Cai Ji asked.

"Well, I don't know if it's safe inside. You can stay in the car." Cai Ji is the first child that the monkey meets these days. The monkey doesn't want anything to happen to her.

"Xiaoji, just stay in the car and wait for your uncles to rescue grandma Luo." Chen Bin said to Cai Ji, and then went out with Dafei with his equipment.

The monkey came out of the cab and quietly touched the door of the yard. The body completely blocked his body. The zombies on the road in the distance did not notice the movement here.

"Uncle Cao, are those monsters?" Cai Ji pointed to the zombie in the distance outside the window and asked Cao Shengli, "it doesn't seem very scary."

Isn't that scary? Cao Shengli has a black face. This little girl has never seen a cruel scene. If she had experienced it once or twice, I'm afraid she wouldn't even sleep at night.

Cai Ji climbed to the front passenger's seat and leaned against the front windshield, looking at the zombie in the distance with interest. Looking from this side, Cao Shengli can only see the body shape of the zombie. Looking from a distance, it is not very different from ordinary people. People who have not experienced life and death cannot understand its cruelty.

The air conditioner was not turned on in the car, and the temperature was high. Cao Shengli was a little tired. When he carried Cai Ji and her climbing bag downstairs, he consumed a lot of physical strength. Fortunately, among these people, only he had the best physical strength, so Chen Bin asked him to carry Cai Ji downstairs.

The skin of the eyes began to fight. Cao Shengli rubbed his eyes, and his eyes began to blur.

Cai Ji was sitting in the car, sweating from the heat. She wanted to press down the window, but the window was locked. So the little girl crawled back to the back seat and lay there thinking.

The monkey tampered with the keyhole on the door for a while and then opened the door. After a round of bending small wire in the palm of his hand, he didn't know where it was received. Chen Bin and Dafei admired the skill of unlocking.

The three men just opened the door of the courtyard, and a heat wave rushed in. Chen Bin found that the temperature in the room was much higher than that outside. It turns out that the sunlight penetrates through the glass wall and sprinkles on the ground. The heat cannot be dissipated and is concentrated in the house. Some things placed in the room were scorched by the sun. The flower pots at the corner of the wall were full of dead plants. The Yellow branches and leaves fell in the flower pots, and the soil had become hard.

The door inside the courtyard is locked. Chen Bin comes to the door and knocks. There is nothing moving inside. Chen Bin continued to knock, then put his ear on the door and listened carefully.

Some slight sounds began to come from the room. These sounds were inaudible. It would be hard to find them if they were not close to the door.

Chen Bin continued to knock on the door for the third time, and the rhythm was very slow.

"Who?" A faint voice came from inside.
