BXBX NOVEL Chapter 8
She pulled over to the side of the road and pressed the answer button.
The contractor said everything was finished and sent her several videos showing the overall view, how to change the door password, and instructions for using various equipment. It was very detailed and easy to understand.
Yun Xiaoxiao was satisfied and immediately transferred the 800,000 yuan the contractor had asked for.
She put down her phone and drove towards the villa.
The sun was gradually setting, but sheets of fiery clouds dyed the sky orange-red, creating a magnificent and breathtaking spectacle.
Many people could be seen stopping their cars to take photos of the sky, their faces beaming with radiant smiles.
Little did they know that this beauty was but a fleeting illusion, deceiving the world.
When the brilliance faded, danger would come crashing down upon humanity like a flood unleashed from its gates.
Thanks to the fiery sunset, not many people noticed her rather special car.
As she passed by her house, she saw the sports car parked at the entrance.
Yun Shaokai was back.
That\'s right, in her previous life he had also returned at this time.
Because the next day he was going to take her to divorce Jiang Rui\'an again, presumably having worked out what to do with her.
However, reality didn\'t give him that chance.
The next morning, as soon as he opened the door, he was scared half to death by a zombie with only half a face left lunging at him.
From then on, they had been hiding in the villa.
Later, when they ran out of food, he pushed her out to distract the zombies while he escaped alone with his lover.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiaoxiao\'s eyes darkened.
She stepped on the gas pedal and drove straight past.
Meanwhile, Yun Shaokai and his lover Li Jiajia, who had entered the house, were completely dumbfounded by the empty rooms before them.
"Shao... Shaokai, why is your house so..."
Seeing Yun Shaokai\'s face turn black as charcoal, Li Jiajia immediately swallowed the rest of her words.
But the next second, Yun Shaokai became so enraged that he fainted.
Soon after, an ambulance arrived.
Not far away, Yun Xiaoxiao stood by the window, watching as Yun Shaokai was lifted onto a stretcher. A smile spread across her lips.
Angry enough to be hospitalized, huh?
Not bad, there are quite a lot of zombies there. Enjoy yourself, my \'dear father\'...
After watching the ambulance leave, Yun Xiaoxiao first changed the password on the main gate, then checked the surveillance cameras. Seeing that there were no blind spots around the house and everything was clearly visible, she sat down at the dining table, satisfied, and took out dinner from her space.
The apocalypse was about to begin, so she might as well have a sumptuous meal tonight.
Boiled crabs, nutritious porridge, fried chicken legs, crispy roasted wings, large prawns, crucian carp and tofu soup...
Yun Xiaoxiao also turned on the TV, tuned to the local news for A City.
As she ate, she downloaded many cartoons, movies, TV series, and variety shows online.
If she got bored later, she could use them to pass the time.
Although she might not need them, it was better to be prepared.
"Breaking news! A Super Blood Moon has just appeared in the sky over our city!" a female voice suddenly announced.
The TV screen immediately switched.
In the vast night sky, a crimson moon as red as blood shone with dazzling light, illuminating the entire world.
The moon looked about a circle larger than usual, with an inexplicable and eerie sense of oppression.
"According to ancient records, the appearance of a Super Blood Moon portends impending natural disasters. With the frequent occurrence of disasters worldwide recently, could there be a connection? We have invited relevant experts to provide answers for us..."
Yun Xiaoxiao didn\'t listen to the rest. She switched to other local channels.
Almost all reports were related to the Super Blood Moon.
Many moon-watching enthusiasts had even driven to places with wider views to appreciate this rare lunar spectacle.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked out the window at the blood moon hanging high in the sky, her eyes gradually darkening.
What was meant to come had finally arrived as scheduled...
What she didn\'t know was that her previous online message had already been pushed to second place on the trending topics list.
A well-known blogger had compared the time of her post with the time the blood moon appeared, pointing out that even experts hadn\'t predicted tonight\'s blood moon, yet she had foreseen it. Could this mean that what she said might actually be true?
Netizens below had diverse opinions.
Some said she was just making wild guesses and got lucky by chance.
Others firmly believed her.
For a moment, a small wave of panic buying swept through supermarkets and shopping malls.
But it was just a small wave.
After all, not everyone follows Weibo, and not everyone would believe such "groundless rumors" out of thin air.
People who were eating continued to eat, those who were partying continued to party, and those who were admiring the moon continued to do so. Life seemed to go on as peacefully and beautifully as always...
At four o\'clock in the morning.
When people were in the midst of sweet dreams, a sudden thunderous boom echoed across the sky.
Many thought it was just thunder and turned over to fall back into deep sleep.
Little did they know, the world had already changed.
Within an hour at most, the first mutations would occur.
Most people would remain the same, while a small portion would undergo extreme changes in two directions: either turning into man-eating monsters or awakening superpowers.
From this moment on, hell on earth would unfold!
Horrific events would continue to play out.
This was unstoppable!
At a street corner in the city center, a flashy large SUV was parked.
As soon as the thunder struck, the small figure in the driver\'s seat immediately opened her eyes.
She had been waiting here for an hour.
Waiting for this thunderclap!
The apocalypse had arrived!
Before zombies started running rampant through the streets, she needed to hoard supplies, and lots of them!
Let the great raid begin!
Having scouted locations in advance, her efficiency was high.
She headed straight for the pharmacies on the street. There were six in total, and she cleared out three of them completely!
Items like cold medicine, antibiotics, painkillers, ibuprofen, montmorillonite powder, hemostatics, band-aids, bandages, alcohol, condoms, etc. - she didn\'t even look, just took entire shelves and cabinets of everything!
After the apocalypse, weather changes would become more extreme, either severely cold or scorching hot.
Although there was no cure for zombie infection, in the post-apocalyptic world, sometimes even a small cold could develop into a high fever due to lack of timely medication, and eventually progress to pneumonia, leading to an unfortunate death.
In her previous life, during that extremely cold weather, she had almost died from a fever. It was only because her big brother risked danger to find fever-reducing medicine for her that she survived.
So medicines were a must-have stockpile!
After clearing out the pharmacies, she entered a century-old weapons store.
Short knives, short swords, Tang swords, large chopping knives, big hammers, red-tasseled spears, large axes, etc. - she took them all!
Next was the bookstore. "3000 Characters to Learn", "Complete Pinyin Guide", "Journey to the West", "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "The Wisdom of Life", and so on - not a single book was left behind, all collected into her space.
They could help pass the time during idle moments.
Right next door was a medium-sized supermarket.
After breaking the glass, Yun Xiaoxiao rode a scooter at high speed, sweeping through the aisles.
A whole row of drinks - collected!
A whole row of biscuits - collected!
A whole row of spicy snacks - collected!
...
After about ten minutes, this supermarket was also stripped bare.
Having finished with several stores, Yun Xiaoxiao headed straight for the nearby gas station without a second thought.
She had hoarded enough of other supplies to last her and her big brother for several lifetimes.
The urgent task at hand was to stock up on essentials, then find large items to maximize the expansion of her space!
