After breakfast, everyone went their separate ways.
Even if the heavy rain didn't stop, it couldn't hinder their steps or plans. They couldn't go to other buildings, so they could only try their luck in this one.
Xu Lin left with Li Yunlong and Zhang Miaomiao, preparing to search for supplies in the supermarket downstairs.
Fatty and Skinny planned to start prying open survivors' doors from the floors below the rooftop.
They reasoned that after the apocalypse, they had scoured floor by floor without seeing any survivors, assuming most were dead. So, by prying open doors and entering rooms, they might have some unexpected gains.
Sister Na and Hanhan were still injured, so Su Ling directly told them to rest on the rooftop with their child.
Su Ling, along with Gu Shangse, secured climbing ropes on the rooftop and lowered them down. During this, they didn't forget to throw ropes to the opposite building. If one attempt failed, they'd try a second, and a third if the second failed.
They had no intention of waiting passively for the rain to stop. The search for supplies in the opposite building continued.
They didn't know when the heavy rain would stop.
They couldn't just sit idly by as long as the rain persisted, could they?
While Su Ling and Gu Shangse were working hard to reach the opposite building, Jiang Jiang stood by the railing, looking at the constantly raining sky. He then murmured to himself, "Sister, if this rain continues today and tomorrow, it will stop."
However, by then, this building would likely be severely flooded.
Since they were living on the rooftop, they didn't need to worry.
But even after the rain stopped, it would take time for the water to drain.
Furthermore, the cleanup of debris and mud would probably be a very troublesome issue.
As Jiang Jiang was murmuring, Su Ling had successfully thrown the rope. She released her hand, letting the climbing rope rest against the wall of the opposite building, and turned her head to look at Jiang Jiang, "What did you just say?"
Because she was focused on her work, Su Ling hadn't heard Jiang Jiang clearly.
Hearing her, Jiang Jiang stopped looking at the sky and turned to Su Ling, "Sister, after today and tomorrow, this rain will stop."
Su Ling looked at Jiang Jiang in surprise, "How do you know?"
She clearly remembered that in her previous life, the heavy rain had lasted for at least five days. According to Jiang Jiang's statement, it would only last three days this time?
Jiang Jiang met Su Ling's gaze and nodded, "I can sense it. I can't explain why I can sense it, but I just know."
After a moment, Jiang Jiang added, "Sister, look at the zombies floating in the water downstairs. After this rain stops, they will evolve and become much stronger than they are now."
This time, Su Ling was more certain that Jiang Jiang could sense and predict certain things.
Like weather forecasts? Like zombie evolution?
Seeing Su Ling silent, Jiang Jiang looked towards the opposite building, frowned, and then spoke again, "Sister, when you and brother enter the opposite building later, remember not to go to the residential area on the thirteenth floor. There is a very powerful zombie inside."
Perhaps seeing something, Jiang Jiang's face turned slightly pale, and his lips moved, "Just keep it locked inside, don't let it out."
Su Ling looked towards the opposite building, her gaze fixed on the residential area on the thirteenth floor.
When she was throwing ropes to the opposite building with Gu Shangse, she had felt a pair of eyes watching her.
At the time, she had dismissed it as being a survivor and didn't think much of it.
Learning the truth from Jiang Jiang, she felt a chill run down her spine. Such eyes didn't seem to belong to a zombie.
What was going on in this life?
Why were they encountering such powerful zombies so frequently?
That middle-aged zombie she had cut down in the mall, Jiang Jiang who was half-human and half-zombie, and the zombie locked in the thirteenth-floor residential area...
