Chapter 58: BBQ!

There was a family household of three, and the father’s name was Yao WeiDong. The mother’s name was Cheng Qi, and the daughter’s name was Yao Yi. They were Ninjing City’s locals. The disaster from a few days ago caused their neighbors, friends, and colleagues to all turn into zombies. However, no one knew why the family of three was spared.

Originally, many people lived in the world where their muddled day-to-day lives were not much different from wandering zombies. For those living with a clear mind, every day was a constant struggle to survive, and they feared death. Being alive didn’t necessarily mean that it was better than being turned into a zombie.

“Don’t be impatient. We’ll find some food to eat soon.” Yao WeiDong pacified his daughter.

There was a two-storied family restaurant building. The reception hall on the first floor led directly to the second floor and was very bright and spacious. Beside the hall was a row of private compartments. On the second floor was a veranda with guard rail. There was also a row of private compartments stationed on the veranda to give a good view of the reception hall on the first floor.

When the disaster occurred, the restaurant should have been just closing up. Currently, there weren’t any zombies present, but there were some old traces of blood and a few bloody footprints. This seemed to imply that although zombies might have been present previously, they had already long since left the restaurant, following the zombie wave and moving to other places.

The food in the restaurant’s kitchen had all been stolen, and the leftovers were already rotten and inedible. The family of three gained nothing after scouring the restaurant. Their faces showed tiredness, disappointment, and even hopelessness.

The timespan of five days was sufficient to cause all the non-canned food to rot. As days went by in this post apocalyptic world, food only became scarcer and harder to find. It was a very huge challenge for those that were living. This family of three only had each for support. In this post-apocalyptic world, there was nothing more important than having your family members alive and together by your side.

Just as the family of three wanted to leave the restaurant via the first floor to continue searching for food, the main door of the restaurant was pushed open. Two males entered the restaurant. One was about twenty years of age and the other was approximately sixteen or seventeen.

The twenty-year-old male was holding a metal rod, and the other was holding a machete. If Liu Gan saw them, he would have recognised that these were the starting weapons of the players in the game.

“Big bro and big sis, are you looking for food to eat?” The male holding the metal rod smilingly asked when he saw the family of three.

“Yes.” Yao WeiDong turned towards him and smiled. However, Yao WeiDong was on alert, as he gripped the wooden stick in his hand tightly. In this post-apocalyptic world, strangers were the most dangerous. Even if the other party was smiling from ear to ear, they might be hiding their killing intent.

If he was searching for food alone and then had encountered the two males, he wouldn’t have been so cautious. However, bringing along his wife and daughter meant that he couldn’t help but consider their safety.

“Did you find anything to eat?” The metal rod male asked.

The male wielding the iron rod was called Zhao Hui, while the other youth holding the machete was called ChenChen. As the saying went, birds of a feather flock together. When they were in the real world, they were vile characters. There were surfing the net at an internet cafe together with a group of friends. Yesterday, they didn’t actively log into the [The Trembling World], but they were carelessly pressing buttons when they disappeared. Only the two of them were sent into the game, and they were even sent to the same location in the game.

“We didn’t find anything because this place had already been looted by other people. There’s only rotten food in the kitchen. If we had found anything, we would have definitely shared some with you.” Yao WeiDong replied to them fawningly.
