Chapter 298: It’s not fashionable to favor boys over girls
Ge Yan seemed to understand, but not quite. She grew up with her grandparents, and the words she heard most often were, "This family will belong to your younger brother in the future," "You must love and treat your younger brother well," "Your younger brother will set up his own household and be the pillar of the family in the future," and so on and so forth.
Her younger brother had good grades, but she had average grades. After she finished junior high school, her grandparents stopped her from continuing her studies and wanted her to help out in the bakery at home. However, her younger brother argued for a long time at home and insisted that she must be sent to school when school started.
Ge Yan actually likes reading in her heart, but when she was in the village, there were too many things for her to do, and she was often so busy that she didn't even have time to do her homework.
Unfortunately, before the summer vacation was over, zombies appeared and the end of the world came.
The brother and sister have been relying on the stockpiled goods on the third floor that have not been sold out to survive until now, but they will have no food after today.
"Sister, who do you think is on the other side?" Ge Tianli leaned on the window, staring at the convenience store opposite without blinking, chewing bread in his mouth, and speaking unclearly.
Ge Yan walked over and leaned on the window with him, looking down.
"That little girl doesn't look even older than you..." She whispered, "She must be very hungry. It would be great if we could go down and find something to eat."
Ge Tianli looked at himself, who was as thin as a stick, and then looked at Ge Yan, who was pale and thin, and said, "We can't do it. We don't have the fighting power."
The warehouse has been emptied by them, and the only reason they have managed to survive until now is that the two of them only eat one loaf of bread a day.
Ge Yan suddenly realized, "Will she be in trouble?"
Ge Tianli nodded. He had the same concern. There were man-eating zombies all over the place, and the little girl must not get bitten.
"Why hasn't she come out yet? Uncle Wang doesn't usually live in the store, right?" Seeing that no one had come out for a long time, Ge Tianli became anxious, "Could there be zombies in there?"
Ge Yan had no idea about his question, after all, she had only been in the city for a short time.
She stared quietly at the convenience store across the street, silently praying for the little girl in her heart.
Ge Tianli held onto the window guardrail and let out a long sigh.
They had tried to open the guardrail outside the window several times before, but they couldn't do it at all, so the two siblings had no way to get out of the window.
It was originally said to be to prevent thieves, but now it has blocked their way of survival.
……
……
Song Pan'er didn't hear the conversation between the brother and sister. She was sleeping soundly on the small bed in the supermarket.
We played mahjong and gossiped every day during the New Year, so now is a good time to catch up on some sleep.
The next day, she slept until she woke up naturally, got up, changed into an ordinary school uniform, and found a schoolbag to carry on her back.
The schoolbag contained two packs of compressed biscuits, a bottle of water, and a fruit knife for show.
Thinking of the brother and sister on the third floor opposite, she stuffed some bread and biscuits into her backpack.
After leaving the convenience store, Song Paner looked up and met Ge Tianli's eyes.
Ge Tianli's eyes lit up and he waved at her hurriedly.
Song Pan'er pretended not to see it. When she walked downstairs to Ge's house, she kicked open the door and went into the house. She pulled out a steel rod from the supermarket and blew the heads off four zombies in one breath.
After killing the zombies, she got on her bike and left without looking back, keeping her achievements and fame to herself.
Hearing the noise downstairs, Ge Tianli wanted to open the door a crack, but was stopped by Ge Yan.
"I'm here, you're the pillar of the family..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ge Tianli interrupted her with a sullen face, "Sister, I want to go because I am the pillar of the family."
Sometimes Ge Tianli really can't stand Ge Yan.
He has said it countless times: men and women are equal, but his sister just insists on acting like she favors boys over girls.
He really didn't like this.
But as a vested interest, he really couldn't say a word of blame.
Seeing Ge Yan standing there in a daze, he sighed, "How about this, sister, you take the mop and follow me. If anything happens, you can save me."
Ge Yan nodded and went to the smelly bathroom to get a mop.
Ge Tianli frowned tightly, and when he smelled the foul odor, he couldn't help but complain, "It's really like a mop with shit on it will kill anyone who pokes it."
Ge Yan took a moment to process the meaning of this sentence, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
She protected her brother and carefully pushed the door open a crack. Because she pushed too hard, her fingers holding the mop turned white.
Ge Yan was very scared. She had seen that kind of monster on her brother's mobile phone. Her brother said it was called a zombie and it would eat people.
She also saw zombies biting and eating people with her own eyes while leaning on the window. A whole family at a breakfast stall on the street was bitten by a customer who bought breakfast, and then the whole family turned into zombies.
Ge Yan was very afraid of becoming a monster like that, but her brother comforted her that she would not mutate as long as she was not bitten or caught by the zombies.
Ge Tianli has a lot of doomsday novels on his mobile phone. His dream was to be an online writer, so he collected a lot of information about the end of the world.
When the real end of the world comes, his information will really come in handy.
Otherwise, the brother and sister would not have stayed on the third floor for several months.
Ge Tianli stuck his head out from the crack of the door and looked for a long time. It turned out that the noises coming and going in the house had stopped. He was a little confused and walked a few steps outside.
Ge Yan's heart was in his throat. He wanted to reach out and pull him, but he was a few seconds too late. He had no choice but to follow him out.
When he reached the stairs, Ge Tianli looked down and saw four rotting corpses lying on the ground, without a sound.
His eyes gradually widened and he turned to look at Ge Yan, who was as shocked as he was.
"Sister, Mom and Dad...they..."
Although they were more afraid than sad when their parents and grandparents first turned into zombies, when they were really dead, he felt very uncomfortable and his eyes gradually became moist.
Ge Yan was already crying. She had been growing up in the countryside with her grandparents and had just been reunited with her parents with great difficulty.
The brother and sister were feeling sad when Ge Tianli's stomach suddenly growled.
Ge Yan came back to his senses and wiped his face with his sleeve.
Now that his parents and grandparents are gone, he and his younger brother will have to depend on each other, and she must take on the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother.
Moreover, her brother has always been very good to her and has never looked down on her for being from the countryside. He even generously introduces himself to his classmates, which she finds very precious.
Because her deskmate when she was in school in the countryside once complained to her that she went to the city to visit her younger brother, but her younger brother looked down on her and called her a country bumpkin. He never admitted to others that her deskmate was his biological sister.
On the day she came to the city, she heard the aunt next door talking about her deskmate's engagement. She wondered how her deskmate was doing now?
Ge Yan was lost in thought, protecting Ge Tianli behind him, "Let's go downstairs and find something to eat."
