Chapter 39: Outside of the window

This residential district had the words “Lucky Garden District” on the sign. This was a newly built district, and the interior designs of the buildings were very new. Only a portion of the houses had finished interiors, so a large portion of the houses were still empty.

[xDh20: Test time, who remembers Lucky Garden District from Chapter 1?] [Feldy: I don’t. HAHAHA.]

Looking in from the outside of the gate, there weren’t any zombies wandering around inside. There were only zombies on the ground from the looks of it. It seemed like all the zombies were dead. According to Liu Gan’s analysis, this was possibly the first choice of the campground survivors since they had looted everything in these buildings and killed the zombies inside.

The inside appeared to be really peaceful, so Liu Gan considered leaving Pan Hua and LuLu behind in this district. He would leave all the food and drinks that he could not carry for them as a token of his compassion.

…

Five days ago, in the vicinity of Lucky Garden District.

Torrential rain, booming thunders and flashing lightning.

A man wearing a suit was running in the rain without an umbrella. His home was in the Lucky Garden District that was only a stone’s throw away. Half a year ago, after saving his salary from slogging his guts out for five years, he managed to purchase an estate in the Lucky Garden District, and renovation was completed a month ago.

The man wearing a suit was called Li Zhu Liang. He had a happy and blessed family which consisted of his pretty and gentle wife and his clever and obedient son. Today was the 4th birthday of his son, Dong Dong. Therefore, even though the rain was very heavy and the sky was constantly battered by the sounds of thunder, Li Zhu Liang unhesitatingly braved the rain and ran in the direction of his house.

As the torrential rain splattered on the ground, the rainwater that was not able to drain off accumulated into big puddles on the streets. Normally, this was a very normal scenario, however the water was red! As the rain accumulated on the streets, the red color of the water became more and more bright and glaring. The ground looked like it was filled with blood!

At the same time, a weird bloody smell started to emerge out from the streets overflowing with the red-colored rain water.

Li Zhu Liang stood in a courtyard which had a sign hanging above his head with the words “Bureau of Industry and Commerce of NinJing City.” Li Zhu Liang subconsciously touched his face and looked at his hand, which gave him a shock. When he saw that his hand was drenched in a blood-like liquid, he couldn’t help but give a scream. His face lost all color and was very pale.

At the same time, there were other pedestrians who were running in the rain and also found out that they were drenched in a blood-like liquid. Their faces became as pale as Li Zhu Liang’s and they looked at their surroundings. Crying in fear, they cowered on the sidewalk, determined to avoid this torrential blood rain.

Li Zhu Liang hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to continue running towards Lucky Garden District. After all, he was already drenched, and it was only a few meters until he reached home. Whatever the situation, rushing home was his priority.

Li Zhu Liang, after running in the blood rain, rapidly found that he had started to feel very uncomfortable. The places where he had contact with the blood rain like his eyes, nose, ears and mouth started to feel a burning pain, as though his body was getting corroded.

…

Several dozen meters away, in the Lucky Garden Residential district.

“Mummy, it is raining outside.” The four year old Dong Dong, who was lying against the window, said as he stared outside.

Dong Dong’s home was situated on the third floor. The housing complex was situated to the right of the gate after entering the district, so from there he was able to see the entrance to the gate clearly. Every day at this time, his daddy, Li Zhu Liang, would enter this gate after he got off from work. Hence, Dong Dong had the habit of lying beside the window and looking in the direction of the gate every day.
