EOTWR Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Who knew that her husband would mock her when he saw her crying. Ai Lin couldn’t help but argue with him, and he actually drove Ai Lin, who had just given birth, out of the house, even though it was still snowing outside.

Ai Lin called at the door barefooted for most of the night before he let her back in.

Poor Ai Lin’s body was already exhausted from the torment during this time, and now she had just given birth and spent most of the night outside barefoot. She fell seriously ill the next day and died not long after.

When her husband’s family saw that she was dead, they didn’t even tell the Ai family and cremated her directly. By the time the Ai family found out, they could only see Ai Lin’s ashes.

Because of Ai Lin’s death, the Ai family filed a lawsuit against the渣男 family, which lasted for several years. But the result was that the 渣男 had not committed any crime, so he was not punished. Afterward, the Ai family wanted to fight for custody of the child, but the 渣男 was the child’s biological father, and they fought for a long time without getting the child back.

The 渣男 grabbed custody of the child and kept a close eye on him, refusing to let the Ai family have any contact with the child. Every time the Ai family went to see the child, they would be chased away with brooms. In addition, the 渣男’s home was several hours away from the Ai family by car, so it was difficult for the Ai family to visit, and over time, they stopped visiting the child.

The two elders suddenly seemed to have aged several years because of their second daughter’s affair. And just then, Ai’s mother became pregnant unexpectedly.

Ai’s mother was nearly fifty years old at this time and had never thought that she would have another child at such an old age. But on the one hand, Ai’s mother didn’t want an abortion, and on the other hand, the arrival of this child helped them get out of the pain of losing their second daughter. So, Ai’s mother took a great risk and gave birth to Ai Wei.

The Ai family was from this city. Although all the family members were ordinary employees, they were given several houses after the demolition of their house. They earned a lot of money just from rent every year, plus the salaries of the two elders, so raising another child was not a burden.

Ai Wei was twenty-seven years younger than Ai Yi, about the same age as Ai Yi’s son. So although the two were siblings, Ai Yi actually treated Ai Wei almost like a son.

Two years ago, the two elders passed away one after another due to illness, and Ai Yi was even more concerned about him in every way, like an old mother.

Hearing that his sister’s family was fine, Ai Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but Ai Yi’s crying was so sad that he couldn’t help but feel a little worried. “Sister, is something wrong? Don’t cry!”

“It’s nothing, I’m just a little scared.” Ai Yi stopped crying and said.

“Then stay at home for now and don’t go out easily. When I find a car, I’ll come and find you.” Ai Wei said.

“No, you stay at home and don’t come out. It’s so dangerous outside now, don’t let anything happen to you.” Ai Yi said.

“Okay, I got it. You also be careful and pay attention to safety.” Ai Wei said, “Sister, the government should have rescue. I’ll hang up now, I’m almost home, I’ll contact you on WeChat later.”

Ai Wei hung up the phone, feeling a little heavy. Ai Yi’s family was fine, but hearing Ai Yi cry so sadly, he was afraid that she was not just scared, but also that some relatives and friends had turned into zombies.

However, it was already a blessing in disguise that his brother-in-law and Yangyang had not turned into zombies. As long as their family was together, they could always support each other.

Thinking of Xiao Wang and Xiao Li, who still hadn’t returned his calls, Ai Wei felt even heavier.

Huayuan Residential District was not far from the Company. In the past, it would only take about ten minutes by car to get there.

However, because the road was now in chaos, zombies and suddenly stalled vehicles were always blocking the road. Some cars were parked on the side of the road, with the doors open, but the drivers inside had turned into zombies.

Fortunately, this branch of the Company was close to the suburbs, the road was wide, and the traffic was not too heavy, otherwise, there would probably be traffic jams on the road.

Thinking of this, Ai Wei couldn’t help but think of the endless stream of vehicles in the city center, and he couldn’t help but feel a little scared. There were so many car accidents on the road, and there must be traffic jams everywhere in the city. Fortunately, he found a Company near the suburbs. If the Company was in the city, he would probably be stuck inside and unable to get out.

Looking at the scene that seemed like the end of the world, Ai Wei felt that he should cheer up and deal with the survival problems that followed.

So, he forced himself to observe these zombies carefully so that he could be prepared when he faced them in the future. According to his observation, the zombies’ movements were stiff and slow, and under normal circumstances, they were only half as fast as a walking person. If a person ran, the zombies would definitely not be able to catch up.

The zombies’ strength was not very great either. Judging from his and Xia Junchi’s experience of subduing the zombie in the Company before, the zombies’ strength should be about the same as that of humans.

However, the zombies’ bite force was very strong. Ai Wei even saw a zombie on the side of the road bite off a person’s arm.

Zombies had vision, which could be used. If he used something to block his figure and prevent the zombies from seeing him, he might be able to avoid the zombies.

Zombies had hearing, but he didn’t know if they had a sense of smell. If they had a sense of smell, maybe he could apply some pungent smell on his body to cover up the smell of the living, and then he could deceive the zombies. Broken bones Also, it seemed that zombies had no intelligence.

Ai Wei personally saw a zombie walking and falling directly into the ditch on the side of the road… But these were just superficial manifestations. Maybe zombies would also develop intellectual mutations, physical mutations, or even disguise themselves as humans in the future. Ai Wei was thinking wildly in his mind, combining some zombie novels and movies he had read before, and for a moment, he thought of countless possibilities.

The car was quiet. Ye Cong looked at the disastrous scene outside the car, his face pale, and couldn’t help crying. In order to avoid these obstacles, Xia Junchi had to twist and turn, spending half as much time as usual to reach Huayuan Residential District.

Huayuan Residential District was a newly opened real estate project, and the buildings had not all been sold yet. Therefore, there were not many zombies inside. Xia Junchi drove towards Block C, but just as he passed Block B, the car tires suddenly made a “poof” sound and leaked air. Then the rear left wheel quickly deflated.

Xia Junchi slapped the steering wheel irritably.

Fortunately, there were few residents in Huayuan Residential District, and there were no zombies nearby, so he drove the car to a secluded place. “You guys watch the surroundings, I’ll go down and change a tire.” After he finished speaking, he got out of the car.

He took out the tire changing tools from the trunk, opened the bottom plate of the trunk, took out the spare tire, and Xia Junchi began to change the tire.

His movements were very fast, and it only took him a few minutes to change the tire.

He put the replaced tire and tools into the trunk, and then he was ready to get into the car.

Who knew that at this moment, a huge body suddenly jumped down from the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor next to him, and it just so happened to hit Xia Junchi.

Nearly 400 pounds of weight smashed on Xia Junchi’s body, and immediately, only a terrible “crack” sound was heard, and his left calf came a burst of severe pain.

This burst of severe pain made him unable to faint. Ye Cong let out a cry of horror, and Ai Wei was also startled.

Only to see that the one who jumped down from the second floor and was now pressing on Xia Junchi was a fat man with a fat body. That fat man was about twice as thick as Xia Junchi. Just looking at the body shape, you could tell how terrible this smash was. If there was anything lucky, it was that he pounced down from the second floor, and the pouncing route was a diagonal line, not a vertical smash on Xia Junchi’s head, otherwise, Xia Junchi would probably have been smashed to death at this time.

Even though Xia Junchi was tall and strong, he couldn’t break free from such a large fat man for a while. He could only try to push the zombie’s neck away to prevent the zombie from biting him.

Seeing this, Ai Wei quickly got out of the car, took out a wrench from the trunk, and smashed it towards the zombie’s head, trembling a little.

He had never done this kind of thing before, and he didn’t use all his strength at first, but seeing the zombie’s face grimacing as if he wanted to bite Xia Junchi, he gradually became ruthless, and he hit harder with each blow.

Later, he smashed a hole in the back of the zombie’s head. Only then did he finally lie on Xia Junchi’s body and stop moving.

Xia Junchi was almost suffocated by the pressure. He tried twice, but he couldn’t push the heavy zombie away.

The commotion they had just made was a bit loud. Several zombies in the distance heard the noise and had already gathered towards this side. In the surrounding residential buildings, the roar of zombies also sounded. Some zombies saw them from the upstairs and waved their claws excitedly, seeming to want to jump down and grab them.

Seeing this, Ai Wei hurried to lift the fat zombie that was pressing on Xia Junchi.

“Ah ah ah…” When Ye Cong saw the zombies gathering, he couldn’t help but scream in fear.

Seeing that Xia Junchi had not gotten rid of the fat zombie, he hurriedly urged, trembling: “Hurry up, hurry up… The zombies are coming…”

Ai Wei also heard the zombies’ roars getting closer and closer. His senses seemed to have become more acute, and he could even feel the zombies’ grimacing expressions not far away.

He pushed hard again, but only pushed the fat zombie away from Xia Junchi’s upper body, allowing Xia Junchi to breathe well, but his lower body was still pressed down by the fat zombie.

Seeing this, Ye Cong couldn’t help but scolded anxiously: “Why are you so useless! You can’t push him away after so long! Hurry up and push him away!”

Seeing Xia Junchi panting from being pressed down, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Xia Junchi’s leg.

That calf presented a curved arc, obviously broken.

A thought suddenly popped into his mind. Xia Junchi’s leg was broken. Wouldn’t he become a burden in the future? Let alone protect himself, he might have to take care of him himself.

Ye Cong looked at the zombies gathering more and more nearby, and then glanced at Xia Junchi, who was being pressed down by the fat zombie and couldn’t get up. Suddenly, he climbed tremblingly into the driver’s seat, then stepped on the accelerator, crashed into a zombie blocking the road in front, and drove away.

Ai Wei heard the sound of the car starting, turned his head and saw the car driving away, and couldn’t help but scold angrily in his heart. Then he pushed the zombie that was still pressing on Xia Junchi’s leg even harder.

“Ah…” Xia Junchi’s broken leg was touched, and he couldn’t help but scream in pain. Large beads of cold sweat slid down his cheeks. Fortunately, Ai Wei was very obedient and moved the fat zombie away from his leg.

“Cheer up, let’s go over there and hide for a while.” Ai Wei lifted Xia Junchi’s arm, supported him, and pointed to the entrance of a unit building dozens of meters away, and said. He usually exercised, so now that he was carrying Xia Junchi, who was taller than himself, he felt very heavy, but not too strenuous.

Xia Junchi’s leg was so painful that he had lost consciousness. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he felt a little dizzy and chest tightness. He glanced at the unit entrance, feeling that the unit building in front of him seemed to have turned into several.

He looked at the approaching zombies again, and thought that at his critical moment, his lover had abandoned him and ran away, and he couldn’t help but feel disheartened.

He shook his head and said, “Don’t worry about me, go yourself.”

“We’ll go together! I’ll never leave you alone!” Ai Wei moved forward with him in his arms, and said as he walked: “Xia Junchi! I’ve liked you for a long time! I thought you liked women, so I gave up on you. Who knew you actually liked men? Seeing you with that Ye Cong, I really regret not chasing you sooner. I’m telling you, if you and I don’t die today, I’m going to chase you! You’ll be my man sooner or later! So you can’t die!”

Xia Junchi listened to his firm and somewhat domineering confession, and couldn’t help but open his eyes and mouth slightly. He looked at Ai Wei’s face as if he had just met Ai Wei for the first time.

“Be careful.” At this moment, the zombie closest to them had come to them. Ai Wei wanted to avoid this zombie, but Xia Junchi smashed the zombie’s head with the wrench in his hand, cracking the zombie’s skull.

Immediately, the zombie’s brains and blood splattered out and fell to the ground.

Xia Junchi shook his hand. Because he used too much force, his hand was still a little numb.

Ai Wei could only stare blankly, frozen in place for a moment, unable to move. Oh my god! Xia Junchi’s attack was too ruthless. But why did he find Xia Junchi so charming?

Ai Wei looked at Xia Junchi with even more fiery eyes. Seeing him stunned, Xia Junchi urged, “Don’t be stunned, let’s go!” “Oh, oh…yes!” Ai Wei replied quickly, and helped Xia Junchi walk faster. Xia Junchi also exercised regularly, and his body was very strong.

Ai Wei didn’t feel it just now, but now that one hand was holding his strong arm, and the other hand was around his strong waist, he could even feel the outline of his muscles hidden under his clothes, and he immediately felt a rush of blood to his lower abdomen.

Noticing the change in his body, Ai Wei’s fair face couldn’t help but blush. He quickly shifted his attention to look at the zombies. Now all the lewd thoughts he had just had were gone.

Although Xia Junchi’s calf was broken, at the critical moment of life and death, the severe pain was ignored by him. In addition, the zombies’ movements were slow, and their bodies were thinner than his. Relying on his strength and the wrench in his hand, plus Ai Wei was also helping, the two of them still managed to move to the entrance of the unit building smoothly. The corridor of this unit building was clean, and there was nothing in it. Ai Wei helped Xia Junchi in, and then turned around and closed the door of the unit building.

He wanted to lock the door, but the zombies were too close, and before he could close the door properly, a zombie stretched its arm in.

It seemed that the door couldn’t be closed now. After all, there were more than a dozen zombies outside. If these zombies pushed the door together, he and Xia Junchi probably wouldn’t be able to hold on.

Ai Wei decisively turned around and helped Xia Junchi up the stairs, trying to get away from the zombies as soon as possible while they were still physically fit.

The zombies’ legs and feet were stiff, and going upstairs was slower than walking on flat ground. So although Ai Wei and Xia Junchi climbed the stairs slowly, the zombies still didn’t catch up with them.

The stairs were also clean, and there was nothing in them. Ai Wei helped Xia Junchi up while knocking on the doors along the way, and shouted, “Is anyone there? Help, please let us in to hide…”

However, the two of them climbed all the way to the fourth floor, and no one opened the door.

This building had a total of seven floors. If no one opened the door to let them in on the top three floors, they would have to go to the top floor. At that time, they might have to fight the zombies.

Ai Wei bit his lip, and he had already prepared to fight the zombies.

Just then, in the midst of the roars of the zombies below, he suddenly heard a young woman’s voice coming from above: “Hurry up, come to my house to hide!”

Hearing this, Ai Wei was immediately refreshed and quickly looked up.

Only to see that the security door on the west side of the fifth floor was opened, and a young woman in her 20s was standing at the door, looking at them anxiously.

Ai Wei didn’t hesitate and helped Xia Junchi speed up to the woman’s door.

As soon as the young woman let them in, she immediately closed the security door and locked it.

This security door was made of stainless steel and was of good quality. There was also a wooden door inside. An adult man might not be able to knock it open for a long time, let alone zombies, whose movements were slow and didn’t know how to knock at all.

“Thank you, thank you so much.” After entering the house, Ai Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the woman gratefully.

However, his heart quickly rose again. Only to hear the roar of a zombie coming from the bedroom, there was actually a zombie locked inside.

The zombie was constantly banging on the door in the bedroom, seemingly wanting to come out because it heard the sound outside.

“That’s my mother.” Seeing him looking at the bedroom, the young woman explained with red eyes: “Today at noon, when I was taking a nap, I suddenly heard someone banging on the door in my mother’s room, and there was a terrible scream. I opened my mother’s room door to see what was wrong with her, but as soon as I opened the door, she pounced on me and wanted to bite me…” She said, describing the scene at the time, and her eyes couldn’t help but turn redder.

Hearing this, Ai Wei couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. Seeing a loved one turn into a zombie with his own eyes must be very uncomfortable.

He carefully helped Xia Junchi to sit down on the sofa in the living room, and then, even more carefully, rolled up Xia Junchi’s trouser legs to check the condition of his fracture.

Xia Junchi’s left calf was broken. The middle of the calf was bent at a large angle, and it was also swollen with a lot of bruises, which looked very serious.

Ai Wei didn’t know anything about medical skills, so he couldn’t help but feel a little helpless and flustered, not knowing what to do.

If it was normal, he should naturally go to the hospital to find a doctor if he had a fracture. But now there were zombies in the hospital, and he didn’t know if there were any doctors inside. Even if there were doctors, it would be difficult for him to take Xia Junchi in with so many zombies outside.

What to do? Why didn’t he go to the hospital to take a look first? Maybe he could find a doctor. If he could bring the doctor back, Xia Junchi’s leg would be saved.

In any case, he must heal Xia Junchi’s leg. This was the person he had secretly loved for more than two years!

Ai Wei quickly made up his mind to find a doctor. He suddenly thought that a friend of his seemed to have an uncle who was a doctor. He could contact him first and ask where his friend’s uncle was now.

He took out his mobile phone, found his friend’s phone number, and called.

The phone rang for dozens of seconds before someone finally answered. “Hello, who is this?” A somewhat hoarse voice came from the phone.

“Da Qiang, it’s me, I’m Ai Wei.”

“Ai Wei…” Da Qiang’s voice sounded very weak.

“That…” Ai Wei felt that he must also have some relatives and friends who had turned into zombies, so he couldn’t help but feel a little heavy. He comforted Da Qiang a few words, and then said what he wanted: “A person with me has a fracture. I remember that your uncle is a doctor. Is he, is he still okay now?”

…

There was a silence on the phone – Da Qiang’s uncle had not been contacted yet.

Ai Wei hung up the phone, feeling a little uncomfortable. He made a few more calls, wanting to ask if they knew any doctors. After asking around, he finally found a doctor’s contact information.

A relative of a distant cousin of his was a doctor, and he happened to be on the night shift today, so he didn’t go to the hospital during the day, so he was still fine at home. That person also happened to be a surgeon.

Ai Wei thanked that distant cousin, and then happily said to Xia Junchi: “I found a doctor. He’s at his home now, and your leg will definitely be healed.”

Xia Junchi also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Ai Wei so happy that he had found a doctor, he couldn’t help but feel a little warm in his heart.

“Thank you.” He said.

“No, you don’t need to thank me.” Ai Wei found, “I’ll contact that doctor.”

That doctor’s surname was Li, and the distant cousin gave Ai Wei his mobile phone number. Ai Wei then called Doctor Li.

The phone was quickly picked up, and a cold male voice came from inside: “Hello?”

“Hello, are you Doctor Li?”

“Yes, I am. Who are you? What’s the matter?”

“I’m Xu Tao’s cousin. My friend has a fracture and I’d like to ask you to help treat him. Of course, I’ll pay the consultation fee. If you need anything now, you can tell me, and I’ll send it to your home.” Ai Wei said.

Zombies had broken out, and most of humanity had turned into zombies. Now RMB had become a pile of waste paper. But people always had to live, and Doctor Li should also need some supplies.

There was a silence on the other side for a while, and then he said: “I don’t make house calls. If you want to see a doctor, bring your friend to me. I only have one condition. You have to go to First Experimental Elementary School with me to rescue my daughter. Also, my car is out of gas. It would be best if you could send some gasoline.”

“Okay, Doctor Li, what’s your address? I’ll take my friend over now. Do you have enough tools and medicine for the surgery? Do you need me to find more tools and medicine?” Ai Wei didn’t expect the doctor to make house calls in this situation, so he naturally had to take Xia Junchi to Doctor Li’s place.

Although Xia Junchi’s car had been driven away by Ye Cong, Ai Wei had seen some cars parked on the road with the car keys still in them. There weren’t many zombies in this residential complex, and he was confident that he could get a car without getting hurt.

Doctor Li said an address, and then said: “You’d better find a splint to fix your friend’s broken leg first to avoid aggravating the injury when moving later.”

Doctor Li also said what to pay attention to when fixing a broken leg, and then hung up the phone.

It was almost 7 o’clock now, and it would be dark in more than an hour. It would be best to go to Doctor Li’s place as soon as possible. So Ai Wei decided to put on a splint for Xia Junchi as soon as possible.
