When all the preparations were settled, I called my parents.

I told them that I needed to go to another city for a business trip for half a month.

I knew that once the zombie crisis really broke out, they would definitely come to me for shelter.

The experience from my previous life was imprinted in my heart like a brand.

At that time, I had earnestly persuaded them to prepare in advance, but they turned a deaf ear.

It wasn't until the shadow of zombies loomed over our city that they started to panic.

There were almost no reserves in their home, and in just a week, the food in the house was exhausted.

At this time, mom called me, urgently demanding that I go over to pick them up.

I suggested they come directly to my place, but they firmly refused, claiming that because of fear, she and dad were already unable to move.

I had no choice but to go there myself, but after picking them up, we encountered zombies on the way.

As a result, they pushed me towards those terrible creatures without hesitation.

At that moment, I understood that they might have planned all along that if they encountered danger, they would use my life to exchange for their safety.

To avoid such a tragedy from happening again, I decided to let them think I wasn't at home at all.

Only in this way would they completely give up the idea of seeking shelter at my place.

After hanging up the phone, I carefully drew the curtains in my house tightly, ensuring that not a single ray of light leaked out.

Because zombies could identify sounds and light sources, I had to avoid exposing myself as much as possible.

Moreover, the windows of my house directly faced my brother's house, so I couldn't let them see any light from my house.

To make them believe I wasn't at home, I even posted a WeChat Moments visible only to them, showing that I was waiting to board at the airport.

After doing all this, I took a deep breath, feeling the tension in my heart ease a little.

I knew that the days ahead would be full of unknowns and challenges, but I was prepared to face this doomsday crisis.
