Chapter 163 The End of the World-Zombie Era (2) (1/2)
"The flu has been rampant these days. I heard from my sister that many children in their kindergarten have been infected. The hospitals are also overcrowded. Even the small roadside clinics are full of people giving injections."
"A group of people were wearing masks on my way to work, probably because they were afraid of contagion. I heard that this flu is quite troublesome, and the fever doesn't go away no matter how much I take the injection."
During the lunch break, everyone sat in their seats and talked after eating. Ji Jiaqi took leave yesterday and had a lot of things on his hands today, so he sat in his chair and typed quickly on the keyboard with his hands while listening to their conversation.
When she heard about the flu, she was a little worried that she might catch it. Fortunately, there was a mask in the drawer, so she could just wear the mask when she went back later.
Because she was still thinking about Sister Yun, Ji Jiaqi felt depressed and lacked energy all day today. When she got off work, she just felt exhausted. She was about to take her bag and leave when her cell phone rang. It was her boyfriend's call.
She and her boyfriend were from an orphanage, and they were childhood sweethearts. They both had good looks, and both loved to study. Although they were admitted to different universities, they had always been in the same city, and their relationship had always been very good. good.
Because they both have very good looks, their mutual friends who know them together laugh and say that they are a good-looking couple made in heaven. When they were studying, their couple was always talked about.
The relationship between the two has always been very good, but recently I don’t know if her boyfriend is too busy studying. He hasn’t contacted her for several days. Ji Jiaqi has been busy with Sister Yun’s affairs and business trip these days, and it’s actually the time for him to call. I found out when I called.
Ji Jiaqi answered the phone, and on the other end was her boyfriend Ji Hang's gentle and caring voice: "Jiaqi, I have the flu recently. Remember to wear a mask when you go out to be careful of getting infected. I'm not busy recently, let's have a meal together tonight. ?”
Ji Hang is a medical student, and Ji Jiaqi has been working for a year and he is still in school. Compared with Ji Jiaqi, who has to strictly follow the company's regulations to get off work, Ji Hang has more freedom, so he has always cooperated with Ji Jiaqi.
Ji Jiaqi felt a little guilty for not contacting her boyfriend for a few days, and immediately responded: "Okay, let's go to the old place in the evening..."
"You must remember to wear a mask. Our teacher said that this flu is very troublesome and there is no complete cure yet."
While Ji Hang was speaking softly, Ji Jiaqi suddenly felt his throat was a little itchy and couldn't help coughing twice. The voice on the other end of the phone immediately stopped for a few seconds.
"Jia Qi, are you catching the flu?"
Ji Jiaqi felt that his throat was dry, so he picked up the water glass and took a sip of water to moisten his throat. "I don't know, maybe I just got a little angry from staying up late last night, and my throat feels uncomfortable."
Ji Hang was silent for a few more seconds.
The precursor to this flu is an uncomfortable throat, coughing, and then a high fever. Even if you keep getting injections, you can only lower your body temperature to 38 degrees at most. Although there have been no fatalities, how can you not get sick if you keep having a fever? Something went wrong.
Ji Jiaqi didn't notice her boyfriend's unusual silence. After feeling that her throat felt much better, she continued, "Then I'll hang up now and go back to clean up. See you in the evening."
After she hung up the phone, she carried her bag and mask and walked out. As soon as she reached the company gate, she received a text message.
[Ji Hang: The student’s parents want me to continue tutoring tonight, so I won’t go there tonight. 】
Ji Jiaqi didn't think much about it. Both of them were orphans and had no support from their parents. If they wanted to survive as adults, they would have to work hard on their own. Ji Hang had been working part-time as a tutor, and she knew it.
Because in big cities, prices are high, aviation part-time jobs are short, and you can't make much money. The whole burden falls on Ji Jiaqi, who is already officially working, so she works so hard to get a promotion and a salary increase.
Fortunately, Ji Hang is about to graduate, and the pressure on her will be greatly reduced, otherwise she wouldn't want to raise a cat.
When Ji Jiaqi took the subway back, he saw that most people were wearing masks, and there were coughs from time to time in the crowd. It seemed that the flu this time was indeed quite troublesome.
She went to the supermarket downstairs to buy some food, picked up Sister Yun's express delivery, and then went upstairs.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the Ragdoll cat lying on the sofa watching TV.
Even after a tiring day, seeing a cute little girl in front of her as soon as she got home still made Ji Jiaqi feel better. She went up and touched the Ragdoll cat: "Hengheng, are you good at home today?" ah?"
Puppet Heng raised his head and glanced at Ji Jiaqi sideways in a noble and cold manner. His eyes did not stay on her face for even a second before he turned his attention to the TV again.
Ji Jiaqi was used to it. He stood up and planned to add cat food and water to shovel the cat litter, but he was stunned before he even walked over.
There was still as much cat food as when she left in the morning, but the water had moved a little.
Didn't Hengheng eat anything all day?
Ji Jiaqi looked back at the Ragdoll cat worriedly, and went to the cat litter box on the balcony to take a look. Sure enough, there was nothing in the cat litter box.
Not eating, not going to the bathroom, stressed?
Cats are sensitive and fragile creatures. If the stress is severe, they may scare themselves to death due to high mental stress. This is especially true for pet cats that have been held in the palm of their hands since childhood and have never suffered at all. The owner is always watching.
Ji Jiaqi was a little panicked and quickly started to search for information online. Now that Sister Yun was away, she had to rely on herself for everything.
After checking the information, he was still worried. Just as he was about to take the puppet to the pet hospital, Ji Jiaqi suddenly noticed that the apple he placed on the table was so damaged that only one apple core remained.
If she didn't eat it, who else could eat it?
Ji Jiaqi looked back at the cat lying on the sofa with a confused face.
The cat...eats an apple?
Don’t cats not eat fruit? ? ?
"Hengheng, did you eat it?"
She took the apple core to the sofa and placed it in front of the Ragdoll Cat.
The puppet Heng, who had not made a sound since arriving home yesterday, glanced sideways at the shit shoveler.
"Ouch."
Ji Jiaqi: Ouch? ? ? ?
Not meow? ?
And what's going on with this short cry? Didn't Sister Yun say before that when Heng Heng meows, he always makes a long, sweet meow?
Next, Ji Jiaqi found a bag of bitten egg yolk pies and small cakes placed in the bedroom at home. As expected, these were brutally murdered.
She simply didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After putting aside her worries about the Ragdoll cat not eating, she sat on the sofa and muttered: "Are you a little fool? Do you know that cats can't eat these things? What if something goes wrong? "
Muppet Heng: "Ouch."
"Don't you like cat food? Can I open a can for you?"
"Ouch."
Ji Jiaqi really opened a can, and the smell made her want to eat it. However, the puppet on the sofa didn't know if it was full, and continued to watch TV with squinted eyes without looking back.
etc……
Ji Jiaqi suddenly remembered that she didn't turn on the TV when she left! !
She was racking her brains to remember whether she had turned on the TV before leaving, when the WeChat notification on her phone suddenly rang.
Ji Jiaqi temporarily put aside his thoughts to read the news. He was a high school classmate. At that time, the two had a very close relationship. However, after graduation, they went to different universities and their contact gradually became less and less. They only said happy birthday to each other on their birthdays every year.
[Jiaqi, are you still with Ji Hang now? 】
After not contacting him for a long time, Ji Jiaqi's heart sank when he suddenly heard this sentence, and he had a bad premonition.
She pursed her lips, comforting herself in her heart that it might be okay, and replied: "Yes, we are still together." 】
After the classmate saw the news, he sent several photos.
It was a photo of Ji Hang and a beautiful girl walking hand in hand on the road. Although the two did nothing but hold hands, they were wearing couple's clothes.
[My younger brother is studying at this university. I came to see him on a business trip. I saw Ji Hang and an unknown woman like this. I heard the woman call him Ji Hang. He must have admitted his mistake. Anyway, be careful. Bar. 】
Ji Jiaqi stared blankly at the photos on his phone for a long time.
She actually knew that her classmate was right. Ji Hang had worn this dress in front of her, but she didn't expect it at that time. It turned out that this dress was actually for couples.
The fact that her classmate was willing to tell her was already very worthy of her. After all, these days, everyone is keeping things to themselves and doesn't want to meddle in other people's business. She could just pretend that she didn't see anything.
Ji Jiaqi raised his finger heavily and pressed it on his phone: [Thank you. 】
She didn't give herself too much time to be sad and directly sent the photo to Ji Hang.
【Let’s break up. 】
There was no reply for a long time, and it would be late at night: [Okay. 】
Looking at this short word, Ji Jiaqi's already dry eyes shed tears again, and he hugged the quilt and cried again.
Before she could cry for a while, her phone suddenly received a bank notification, indicating that all the money on her card had been withdrawn.
Ji Jiaqi's card was bound to her online banking, so she gave the card to her boyfriend for her convenience, because every time he used it, she would receive a text message. Ji Hang didn't use this card many times. I will tell her in advance every time I use it.
The two grew up together and have been together for so long. It can be said that Ji Hang is the person Ji Jiaqi trusts the most. Even if she knew that he was cheating on her, she was just sad and didn't think about revenge.
But the human heart is so terrible.
After they broke up, Ji Hang directly transferred all her money.
Ji Jiaqi was shaking with anger and called to question without thinking.
Ji Hang took off his mask of gentleness and said confidently on the phone: "That card is shared by us, and my part-time money is occasionally put into it. Why can't I use it? And you didn't do it last time." Do you want to open an online store and let me buy you a house full of food? Just use the money to buy the food."
Ji Jiaqi's crying voice was trembling: "It's obvious that you want to open an online store and put these things with me, and the money you paid for your part-time job was only called once, and later you said you wanted to buy a mobile phone and took it away. This The money in the card is obviously my salary!”
"Do you have any evidence? Otherwise, just sue me. But let me remind you, you may spend more than this on hiring a lawyer to litigate."
Ji Hang said this, which meant that Ji Jiaqi was timid and had a bad temper so he wouldn't cause trouble.
They grew up together, and he understood her. When someone slapped her, she didn't dare to fight back and only dared to avoid crying.
She is an orphan again, with no one to support her. In the past, he was willing to coax her into taking money willingly, but now that everything has been exposed, there is no need for him to pretend anymore.
Anyway, Ji Jiaqi is so timid and cowardly, he will definitely not dare to file a lawsuit. At most, he will be angry and cry.
"you you!!"
Ji Jiaqi was indeed angry and cried again. Until the other end hung up the phone, her body was still shaking. She couldn't believe why a nice person during the day suddenly became so vicious.
The puppet was lying on the sofa, listening to the crying coming from the bedroom, the cat's face was expressionless.
The third time.
And here, Ji Hang, who hung up the phone, looked at the money in the account with satisfaction, thinking about what to do with the money.
He does plan to open a Taobao store, but the money to buy the goods is not comparable to this money. It is just some food, and he can't buy it whenever he wants.
Just give it to Ji Jiaqi.
****
The second day
Screams and car crashes were heard.
Ji Jiaqi opened the curtains and stared blankly at the doomsday scene downstairs with swollen eyes.
Lin Shiheng stretched out, reached out and touched the cat ears on the top of his head, then looked back at the long tail on his butt, and put on the shirt Ji Hang left here.
The cat-eared boy, who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, was chewing on an apple and knocked on Ji Jiaqi's door.
On the first day of the apocalypse, Ji Jiaqi had a safe house, a house full of food, and a supernatural beast that could protect him.
And Ji Hang lives in the dormitory at the university next door.
Only money.
