Chapter 1: Blindness

Miss Ye, good morning ah. The young girl at the cash register greeted the young girl cordially, and the other customers nearby couldn't help but glance at the young girl.

    The appearance of the young girl was very noticeable, she was very young, but she had a crutch in her left hand, while in her right hand she was holding a Labrador equipped with a saddle-like device, and looking upwards, one could notice that her eyes were unfocused and as empty as stagnant water.

    The originally curious crowd immediately turned their heads, their hearts mostly intolerant.

    Ye Feifan nodded and said, Good for you, I'm going to trouble you today as well.

    No problem, but should we tie DuoDuo to the pole outside first, some of the guests will be afraid of the big dogs. Auntie Chen, Miss Ye is here! You take it.

    The middle-aged woman who was loading the goods heard this and immediately came over with a smile on her face, Let me help you tie the dog outside!

    Ye Feifan handed the rope over to the other party, but still couldn't help but say to, It's not Duo Duo today, Duo Duo isn't feeling too well, so I'll let Boo Boo bring it today.

    Boo-Boo? Is that the new one you got? The cashier girl looked at the yawning Labrador beside the young girl and thought that it was no different from the last one.

    They're all Labradors, it's normal to not recognize them. Ye Feifan made an idle remark, but her heart was clear. For DuoDuo who had always been with her, she would always be able to distinguish its odor and location.

    With the help of Auntie Chen, Ye Feifan quickly finished shopping for a week's worth of food and trivial supplies.

    What's with all the shopping?

    Ye Feifan listened to the barcode machine beeping incessantly and thought that she would have to ask the building's superintendent to lift it up for her in a while, so she was a bit embarrassed and said, I heard from the radio that the climate has been abnormal lately, and that there might be some large typhoon coming, so I wanted to buy everything a bit more, so I can also trouble you all a bit less.

    Although Ye Feifan is disabled, she is young, gentle and soft-spoken, so people who interact with her are very kind to her, but anyone who sees a young girl who should be in her prime with empty eyes, living alone in an elderly neighborhood should feel pity.

    The cashier girl at the checkout hurriedly said she wouldn't, and Auntie Chen, who was holding up Ye Feifan, nodded in agreement, The news has indeed been on the air a lot lately, so I'll persuade the boss to bring in some more goods.

    After checking out, Ye Feifan pushed the basket of groceries, took hold of Bu Bu, who was already waiting impatiently on the floor, and left the supermarket at a slow pace.

    The person at the back looked at the slender back, couldn't help but read behind him, Look, how happy you are, although the cashier's job doesn't earn much money, but a good saving can still go to a university and get a diploma, but that little girl is only afraid that she won't be able to walk out of here for the rest of her life.

    The little cashier girl beamed, peeking toward the door where she could still see the young girl's silhouette, and knew how carefully she walked, Why don't we see any of her family visiting her?

    Just now also warm and cordial Auntie Chen immediately gossip up, she mysteriously forward: Xiao Luo, I trust you to tell you, you can not go around, I heard that Miss Ye's family is very impressive, so it can afford to pay the living expenses in this neighborhood, but her parents divorced a long time ago, and previously come to see a few times, divorced are only remittances do not see the people.

    This, this is too much!

    Wu Lilo can not believe, although she is not good at schoolwork bad for a while, but her parents still love her, support her, so she rightly believes that parents should be able to tolerate all the shortcomings of the child, and all the way to support the child to grow up, so the behavior of the Ye family's parents in her view is simply both cold-blooded and incredible.

    Which is too much ...... rich people are so capricious, too much trouble divorced anyway, send the child far away. Now you know how happy you are, right? Work well! Overtime when it's time to work overtime, don't complain all the time!

    I know la ...... Wu Li Luo beeped, Auntie Chen is her mother's friend, she used to be rebellious dropout things Auntie Chen know all about it, and now they are introduced to their mother to work here, Auntie Chen is more automated for the mother's alter-ego, a pair of copper bells! Big eyes staring at themselves, make sure to confirm that she is really reformed.

    Good to know! I tell you ...... cough cough cough!!! Aunt Chen suddenly choked several times, and upon closer inspection, her always rosy and healthy face was vaguely pale.

    Although Wu Lilo disliked her nagging, she still respected her for taking care of her, so she immediately went up and expressed her concern: Auntie Chen, if you're not feeling well, go to the clinic for a visit, there's me and the others here to keep watch.

    Common cold, will be fine in a few days. Auntie Chen didn't think so, but lowered her head and coughed hard a few more times.

    Wu Lilo knows that although she is a little older, but the lung capacity, the body is stronger than the same age, never seen her weak look, this look more worried: Clinic is just around the corner, just go to see it! I'll accompany you there after work!

    Auntie Chen leaned against the cash register and gasped a little, Just say no, if you want an excuse to leave work early, wifey I won't go see it even if I cough myself to death!

    Ugh! Why do you say that? Wu Lilo complained in her heart: a dog bites Lü Dongbin, is she that unreliable?

    Eighty percent is influenza, come and go quickly, like yesterday to unload Uncle Li also well, but today came a new boy, said Uncle Li is sick, do not come.

    Wu Lilo was straight to the point: Maybe Aunt Chen was infected by him! The old people in this neighborhood don't like to go out, so it must be the people outside who brought the germs!

    Auntie Chen spat, You don't live here either, maybe you gave it to me!

    Wu Lilo retorted, It's not like I have a cold!

    Auntie Chen was too lazy to bullshit with her, lifted her obese body and threw in a word afterward, If you really care about me, stay today and tomorrow to help me count the goods.

    Lilo Wu really wanted to punch herself in the mouth and blame herself for being a chicken.

    Ye Feifan was not born invisible, nor was she born disliked. At least until the age of three Ye Feifan was still a healthy, cute, pearl in the palm of her parents' hearts.

    However, when Ye Feifan turned three years old, her father had a DUI, and Ye Feifan, who was not placed in a safety chair, suffered a severe head injury. Although she survived by a narrow margin, she was sentenced by the doctor to have failing eyesight and not to live past the age of fifteen.

    At the age of ten, her parents divorced, and her father took her away from her. I don't know if it was because of shame and manly stubbornness, but her father didn't come to see her very often, and he was even afraid to see her. The Ye family was not short of money, and at the age of twelve, she was sent to a high-class boarding school for the blind, and never returned to the Ye family after that.

    However, after Ye Feifan had peacefully survived the doctor-cursed age of fifteen, the Ye family did not continue to allow her to attend school, but instead sent her to an alimony community specializing in the placement of the elderly, meaning that she would have done her last duty and rid herself of this silent burden.

    So Ye Feifan was sent to the community as a half into the coffin of the dying old man, from then on, Ye family in no news, only a fixed monthly remittance into the maintenance center of the cost of living to remind Ye Feifan she still has family.

    Thank you very much.

    This is my job! Don't be so polite, Ms. Ye.

    The janitor placed the large plastic bag on the dining table for her, then smiled and said a few caring words to her and thoughtfully closed the door and left.

    He did not go very far, although it is very subtle and also with the sound of footsteps, but Ye Feifan still heard: Alas, a good a beautiful little girl bias can not see, poor ah, probably want to be alone for life ......

    Ye Feifan touched the door panel and re-opened the anti-theft lock, confirming that the door was locked before she turned around and untied Bu Bu's rope, Bu Bu immediately darted into the door, biting the toy bone that was idly left on the floor and began to fling his head around.

    Although Bu Bu is a trained guide dog, but too young, too aggressive, the blind association of people have told Ye Feifan Bu Bu caused many accidents, changed owners many times, Ye Feifan is the last candidate, in not Bu Bu Bu will be sent to the shelter center.

    So after taking over Boo Boo, Ye Fei Fan has always been very careful, like if she just let go a little, Boo Boo will definitely pounce towards the administrator who accidentally stepped on its toy bone, and the administrator's nose will be like Boo Boo's toy bone that he is now biting happily .......

    Ye Feifan is often praised by her neighbors for her gentleness, which is both her strength and her nature. But as her sight is gradually disturbed by the darkness, gentleness can no longer protect her, and Ye Feifan slowly learns to be indifferent. She learns how to be deaf, pretending not to hear the whispers, but in fact the hearing that replaces her sight allows her to hear more clearly than anyone else.

    But Ye Feifan didn't care, thirteen years could forget a lot of things, humans were already a very fuzzy concept to her, in fact she sometimes compared humans to a radio, both equally capable of making sounds, how come the other couldn't be controlled with buttons to give a quick spin to words she didn't like?

    Ye Feifan didn't immediately go to organize her belongings and walked along the familiar doorway to her bedroom.

    Duo, any better?

    Oooh ...... oooh, Duo's breathless voice was heartbreaking.

    Ye Feifan stretched out his hand and walked towards the sound, and a moment later, he touched a big furry head, which felt its owner's touch and nosed upwards.

    Ye Feifan touched DuoDuo's dry and almost close to parched nose, and was so distressed that she touched its head, saying, Today is a holiday, so I'll take you to the doctor tomorrow.

    Ye Feifan lives in the elderly support community is purchased and built by a large consortium, most of the rich people send their parents over to support, including general hospitals, bookstores, supermarkets, gyms, parks, etc., and even veterinary hospitals are not an exception; the elderly loneliness will always have some pets for companionship, so the first also recruited a well-known veterinary clinic into the special.

    The entire neighborhood can be said to function perfectly for living, at least for the elderly.

    When the alarm went off, Ye Feifan knew it was a reminder that it was time to feed the pets and touched the wall, heading for the kitchen.

    There is no social glass window in the large cabinet did not see any snacks, only a pile of miscellaneous pet food, Ye Feifan can not see, but still can be based on the impression, out of each hairy child food.

    What was given to Bu Bu was half a bowl of feed and canned meat. Ye Feifan had just put the feed away and hadn't even greeted DuoDuo to come over when he turned around and already felt something rushing over and expressing its gratitude to its owner with a faceful of drool.

    To the Chihuahua several meters is a simple pet with canned vegetables, although hold in the arms feel small, but several meters is the oldest, said to be almost twenty years of age or more fairy old dog. A few meters is originally living downstairs in the old woman's pet, but then the old woman was picked up by the son to go abroad, with the dog is not convenient, the son's family also do not like dogs, so the worship of Ye Feifan to take care of it.

    Dinner is ready, several meters ...... Ye Feifan complied with the ground and whispered. Abandoned by the owner of the several meters become listless, always like to hide in the sofa and the corner of the dark place. Ye Feifan's heart ached for it, and she was extra careful and gentle with it, letting several meters sleep with her every night, and it took a lot of time to get it to be willing to get close to herself and other pets.

    A few meters answered and burrowed out from a small corner, licking Ye Feifan before slowly going to eat.

    Meow~

    When Ye Feifan should have opened the can of fish, he heard Moonlight's purring. Moonlight is a Mercedes Benz cat, listening to the neighbors describe the birth of a very beautiful, black and white fur, mint green eyes glittering, is wandering for a long time, the nature of the wild, always like to steal food from the elderly, and from time to time, also bullied other people's pets, for a period of time in the community rumors of such a bully cats, and the top has sent a special team of dog mending to catch it, moonlight must have been caught, very smart, a smoke to hide to the home of Ye Feifan The cat is a very smart cat and has taken refuge in Ye Feifan's home.

    Ye Feifan was afraid that it would be captured for euthanasia, so she took it in as soon as her mother's heart kicked in, with no shortage of food and toys, and served this wild cat comfortably, and it stayed with her for a long time.

    I'll help you comb it after dinner. Ye Feifan felt the moonlight rubbing against her feet, prickly and soft, even if she couldn't see it she knew it was cute as hell.

    Ye Feifan's busy feeding work was about to come to an end, she opened the window and the subtle sound of birds greeted her.

    Hanging on the window sill are two birdcages, in which there are a painted eyebrow and a parrot, which are the small pets of the old man who has passed away next door. Ye Feifan and the old man good friendship, listening to the old man said he used to be a professor of the Chinese Department of the famous university, but unfortunately the children are not filial piety, old age can only learn from the ancients to enjoy the flowers and birds, a little comfort.

    The old man gave each of the two birds very classical names: the painted eyebrow is called Qing Dai, and the parrot is called Jiao Ge.

    Ye Feifan before the accident blindness, also read some books, by the old man said also think the name poetic very much, the two birds quite impressive. After the old man passed away, and his children greeted the two birds back to raise.

    Dinner's ready. She touched the feed bowl with one hand and poured feed into it with the other.

    Taking care of the two birds is actually very simple, the cage has been raised for a long time, the two birds have gradually forgotten to fly, and can only move their wings to keep their muscles from committing, Ye Feifan knows that this kind of pampered pet bird is a free meal for the hunters as soon as it comes out of the cage, so he doesn't intend to have a wild release or anything.

    Recently, Qingdai and Jiaoge didn't seem to have much energy and their barking was weak, so Ye Feifan whistled to tease them.

    , but they didn't pounce on their arms as usual, and Ye Feifan could only touch their feathers, thinking about whether to take them to the veterinary hospital for a look as well.

    After she finished with her fur child, Ye Feifan was already sweating, she took a shower and ate simple microwave food while listening to the news on the radio.

    Listen in real time to the latest on the flu epidemic, the current effective vaccine is still not mass-produced, and the number of patients continues to rise, the scope of the infection also continues to expand, there are already several cities in the south of the suspected cases, and now hospitals and the police do not dare to take it lightly, for fear that with the expansion of the epidemic ......

    Ye Feifan had been chewing slowly, but slowly stopped her mouth when she heard the latter.

    She had a regular daily habit of listening to the radio, and it seemed as if a new virus had appeared since the day before yesterday, with many people suffering from symptoms ranging from mild to severe, and ending up in a coma, and hospital beds had been filled to overflowing.

    Ye Feifan originally thought it was nothing, before this kind of news is not no less panic. But today, listening to the radio description, the situation seems to be somewhat uncontrollable, the government has ordered to start the blockade of the heavily infected area, to carry out certain evacuation operations, suddenly everyone is at risk, a large number of residents are eager to want to move out of the city included in the heavily infected area, many roads are paralyzed, and even completely interrupted the external contact.

    Then there was a professor invited by the radio station to spout off about the end coming, the destruction of the world, and the end of human civilization. Ye Feifan completely lost interest in listening, turned off the radio and continued to enjoy his dinner.

    Just in time, the moonlight finished eating, all of a sudden slipped into Ye Feifan's lap, insatiably wanting to eat the slices of beef on the plate, and then it was Boo Boo who ran over, wanting to play with the moonlight, probably feeling aggrieved by being huffed and puffed, and whimpering angrily.

    When Ye Feifan heard the noise, he could only put down the food in his hands and mediate the dispute between the furry children.

Chapter 2.

Ye Feifan's side was still cozy and happy, but on the other side, the distant metropolis was already in chaos.

    Ye Cheng urged his two sons and daughters, who were still packing their bags, and looked anxiously out the door himself.

    When her daughter Ye Zirong saw this scene, she couldn't help but sneer; it was her brother Ye Yuean who found it baffling:

    My own oldest sister has become quirky and weird since last month, first she inexplicably maxed out her card, and also fought with dad several times, and finally simply moved out alone, and then suddenly came back not too long ago and said that she wanted them to run for their lives.

    Ye Yuean once suspected that his sister had inherited his mother's hysteria, and did not expect a real situation outside now, as if some new type of virus was slowly spreading, and although their family was blessed with a good life and was not infected, the city in which they were located had already been included in the heavily infected area, and the military was about to carry out a blockade!

    Ye Yuean was a little admiring and a little uneasy, looking like he wanted to say something, Ye Zirong noticed her brother peeking at herself and immediately smiled soothingly, It's fine.

    Sister will protect you and mom's legacy and will never let that disgusting mother and daughter take any more advantage.

    Some fragments flashed through his head, stirring up a wave of grief in Ye Zirong's heart.

    Obviously is the daughter of his ex-wife and her remarriage without blood relations, their father Ye Cheng, but all kinds of maintenance, allowing Lin Yue Cheng robbed her man and status, and finally their own assassination Lin Yue Cheng failed, was executed by the base; Ye family and has changed its name to Ye to replace their own Lin Yue Cheng stood by and watched with cold eyes, the only one with their own bloodline connected to his younger brother stepped forward to plead for their own, and finally was sent to a remote base stationed, siblings thus The only one who begged for mercy for himself was his younger brother, who was sent to a remote base to be stationed!

    Lin Yihan, Lin Yuecheng, in this life I will get everything back from you!

    Ye Zirong looked up, just in time to see Ye Cheng on the phone, his expression was a rare anxiety and tenderness, she couldn't help but smile coldly.

    In the past, I always wondered why my mother died of depression, I did not realize that my own father was a kind of infatuation, never forgetting his last marriage, even Lin Yihan remarried, and the daughter born of other men can love the house, now eighty percent of it is in the phone to the old lover, to take them with them to take refuge as an officer of the eldest uncle it!

    Should we say this kind of man is infatuated or stupid? Letting his own children go without pain to protect such a pair of vixens.

    Ye Zirong heart ridicule, at the same time also made a good plan; Ye family has status and power, but her grandfather's side can not be underestimated, when Ye Cheng and Lin Yihan divorce less than a year, and soon remarried with Ye Zirong's mother, looking at the Xiao family side of the power. Perhaps it was this combination of interests that made Ye Cheng feel so little closeness to his late wife and her children.

    Ye Zirong old long ago gave up with Ye Cheng's father-daughter love, just the bottom of the heart is still puzzled: since Ye Cheng so deeply in love with Lin Yihan, why at first still and Lin Yihan divorce it? Ye family foundation is deep-rooted, plus the Xiao family is just the icing on the cake, good on good, must not be urgent need ah.

    This side Ye Zirong was puzzled, and over there Ye Cheng was calming the panicked Lin Yihan.

    Xiao Xin, you don't worry, I have already contacted my big brother, we will take the military vehicle he sent to pick you up in a while, you and Yue Cheng quickly get ready, wait for us to arrive at the door, no matter what sound you hear before this, you absolutely can't go out! Got it?

    Ye Cheng already knew the inside story that was being hidden from his big brother, thinking of what his big brother had said, his hand that was now holding the phone was trembling slightly, but his voice was still trying its best to maintain its composure, so as not to scare the woman on the other end of the phone.

    I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid ...... Yue Cheng is still crying, is Ah Cheng really okay? Having been a couple for six years, Lin Yihan knew well what Ye Cheng could do, and although she was slightly at ease, she still couldn't help but worry.

    Ye Cheng felt sorry for their mother and daughter, and immediately whispered softly, Don't worry, as long as I live, I will make sure that you are safe and sound, this is what I owe you, Xiao Xin.

    Ah Cheng ...... I ...... Lin Yihan was touched, but the next second she paused, she suddenly remembered something and said in a less than reluctant tone, Then, Then Fei Fan's side ......

    An old scar was hardened, and the slight pain caused both men to fall silent.

    ............ Ye Cheng was silent for a while, and said with slight difficulty, There are guards on the side of the support cell, they should assist in the evacuation, let's take care of ourselves, and wait for stabilization before going to find Fei Fan.

    Both knew it was just a superficial excuse to keep them from feeling guilty.

    Ye Feifan, these three words will always be a pain in the hearts of two people, she is the proof of their once deep love union, but also the bane of letting the two go their separate ways.

    Ye Cheng and Lin Yihan were a pair of college lovers, Lin Yihan was from an ordinary but clean family, and Ye Cheng was not any eldest or only son, so their union was not opposed by too many people back then. Until the birth of their daughter, Ye Feifan, the two were still the envied couple; however, when Ye Feifan was three years old, a car accident destroyed the happy family of three.

    Although Ye Feifan survived, she slowly lost her eyesight and had to go to a school for the blind at the age of six. At that time, Ye Cheng and Lin Yihan were both too young, and the original lovey-dovey and fastidious life became hindered because of Ye Feifan, and the pair of good couples slowly turned into spiteful couples.

    Lin Yihan hated Ye Cheng for drunk driving at that time, which caused her daughter to get into an accident.

    Ye Cheng blamed Lin Yihan for only thinking about being a noblewoman and refusing to do something about her daughter's problems at all.

    The two in a heated argument, coolly divorced, even with the writings of the main cause of the Ye Feifan is not happy, Ye Cheng at first quite responsible to bring Ye Feifan around, but in the father hinted at remarriage, Ye Cheng, Ye Feifan sent to boarding school for the blind, and then the marriage stabilized, had a pair of children, and fortunately, then Ye Feifan threw the alimony community.

    The last time I saw Ye Feifan, was in her fifteen years old, Ye Cheng paid two more years of money, to see her daughter is well-behaved and understanding, and never came back, now counting, Ye Feifan should have been twenty-three years old, if there is no accident should be if the university freshman, rather than and a group of old people waiting for the end of life.

    Wait for me to pick you up. Ye Cheng was afraid that mentioning Ye Fei Fan would make his heart feel even more guilty, so he perfunctorily answered Lin Yihan.

    When they meet Lin Yihan again, their old feelings are rekindled, and both of them remember the past and how much they used to love each other. He doesn't mind her remarrying, even dragging along a daughter who is not related to him, and is still willing to catch up with her, but the only one who is not in a position to do so is Ye Feifan, who he feels guilty about but is unable to do anything about.

    Lin Yihan on the other side of the phone is not so difficult than Ye Cheng, when she married into the rich and powerful, it is the time of pleasure and enjoyment, there is nothing to try to do to her daughter; know that her daughter has become disabled, but also can not accept, feel that the perfect life more than a piece of blemish, and later divorced with the Ye Cheng, and lived a few years of life of rough tea.

    Even, Lin Yihan had a grudge against Ye Feifan, hating her for ruining her marriage that was originally the envy of everyone.

    Ye Feifan, who was far away at the other end, would probably only be surprised if she knew that the two had tangled over themselves for a moment, thinking that she had been completely forgotten by them long ago.

    Hanging up the phone, the two immediately left Ye Feifan behind, everyone was in a hurry to escape which had time to think about the safety of a blind man!

    ***********************************************************.

    Early in the morning, Yefefan made a special call to make an appointment with the veterinary clinic.

    Elderly people take care of pets are more prone to negligence, many pets in the neighborhood are constantly small and large problems, if you don't make an appointment early, you have to stand and wait when you get there. Ye Feifan is afraid to take a step will be tossed to DuoDuo, even willing to pay more money, let the veterinary clinic to send people to carry DuoDuo to go.

    I'm sorry, the last few weeks are full, so if you want an appointment you'll have to wait until next month.

    Huh? Are a lot of pets sick? Ye Feifan frowned slightly, next month is also too long ......

    Yes ah, there seems to be an epidemic of animal colds lately, and the symptomatic cases sent over are all similar, is that dog of yours also suffering from a loss of appetite and morning and evening lethargy?

    Ye Feifan and the nurse talked about it, only to know that the current doctors are busy, but how to try can not find the cause of the disease, with traditional antibiotics are not effective, many animals even began to appear coma state, clinic up and down crowded with sick pets and anxious old people, began to have been some of the old people choose to take their pets to drive an hour of highway to go to the farther away from the big hospitals to see it.

    Ye Feifan hung up the phone with a heavy heart, but still tried to restrain herself from thinking of the bad, a lot of things can't be solved by being sad anymore.

    She along the wall, quietly walked to the side of Duo Duo, slowly comply, usually Duo Duo must have long heard, and then it will immediately rolled up and pounced forward to give her a kiss, only this time Ye Feifan waited for a long time did not wait for Duo Duo's response, she thought of the nurse's words, in her ears is the sound of Duo Duo's feeble breathing.

    Touching DuoDuo's soft belly hair, Ye FeiFan lowered his head and kissed him precisely on his forehead, whispering, I love you, DuoDuo, be well.

    Boo Boo burrowed his head out from the side and licked Ye Fei Fan. Ye Feifan froze, realizing it was Boo Boo, and couldn't help but feel faintly disappointed, reacting by immediately telling Boo Boo to dodge to the side to avoid being infected by Duo Duo with that strange flu.

Chapter 3 The End

The maintenance district was built on a hillside, when the builders chose the site deliberately away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the nearest metropolis here at least a two-hour drive, so when the outside has been in chaos, the residents and businessmen in the district are still going on with their daily activities, coupled with the recent treacherous weather, and the signal is not good in the mountains, those who came to work in the field employees did not find anything wrong, but a few received from their families to send an inexplicable message Only a few of them received inexplicable messages from their family members and were a little worried, wanting to go home early to take a look.

    That afternoon, Wu Lilo and Auntie Chen together in the supermarket storage inventory goods, ready to hand over to the employees who will come to the night shift.

    Cough cough cough! Ro, are you done yet?

    Got it!

    Aunt Chen's disease does not seem to get better, from yesterday began to appear sick, and now Aunt Chen has put up a mask, hand crutches with the old gas, said to cough to the waist cone are in pain, the Wu Li Luo scared not clear, all day are well-behaved, said the East to the East, said that the West would not dare to the East of a centimeter, straight to Aunt Chen coaxed the heart of the comfortable and comfortable.

    Then we're in a hurry! Check again, don't let Fanny take over for you again.

    There's not much out there! Sister Fang would have closed early. Wu Lilo was unconvinced.

    She was right, the supermarket that was open until eleven o'clock at night was now deserted, and the aisles lined with shelves of goods were empty, and the bright lights looked particularly desolate on them.

    Wu Li Luo probe out only feel today special cold, quiet and unusual. In fact, the elderly idle panic, something like buying, as if the family does not store some things will not feel at ease, so the boss of the supermarket just want to say that the store here, open to now performance is indeed good, more than its branch a few times. Auntie Chen, these employees also from time to time light, the size of the bonus has never been broken, treatment than the outside is also preferential some, otherwise Auntie Chen will not be introduced to her best friend's daughter over for a cashier girl.

    It's probably the flu! I even saw the cleaning team disinfecting this morning when I came over, and I heard that quite a few of the neighborhood residents are already sick, cough cough cough! Before the words were finished there was another violent cough.

    Wu Lilo gave her a worried look, wanting to say that she must force her to make a trip to the clinic later.

    BANG! A loud bang outside startled both of them

    Help ah! Xiao Luo! Auntie Chen!!! Someone not far away screamed at the top of their lungs.

    Wu Lilo and Auntie Chen probed over and saw Jiang Meifang, who was in charge of the night shift, running towards the supermarket entrance in a messy outfit.

    Her face was full of panic, not even stopping for a step, the whole person hard hit the thick glass automatic door, stifling a sound, Wu Li Luo could not help but grit her teeth as she watched, feeling as if she could hear the sound of her shoulder bone shattering.

    Jiang Meifang was hit so hard that her whole body fell backward, but a moment later, as if she didn't feel it, she desperately drilled into the slowly opening automatic doorway!

    The two men stepped forward to help a stunned Jiang Meifang.

    As if she had lost her soul, Jiang Meifang waved her hands desperately in front of her, Help! Help! No matter how hard Luo pressed her shoulders, she refused to stop.

    Aunt Chen is old and has seen a lot of wind and waves, directly swung up with a slap, snapped, hard to Jiang Meifang back to God, a pair of originally chaotic eyes slowly regained focus.

    She was stumped for a moment and looked up at Auntie Chen and Xiao Luo fixedly, as if recognizing their identities, before she said eagerly, We must hide quickly! They will soon catch up with us!

    What is it? Wu Li Luo was confused.

    It was Auntie Chen who had sharp eyes, she looked behind Jiang Meifang, and sure enough, there were several figures rushing towards the supermarket, while subtle cries for help penetrated the glass door.

    Isn't that the store across the street? Why are they all here? Wu Lilo took a closer look and instantly recognized the identities of the people who were running towards this place: the sisters from the tea store, Uncle Lin who delivered newspapers, and the handsome trainer from the health center .......

    The silhouettes ran closer and closer, suddenly several unfamiliar black shadows leapt up from behind them, one of them was pounced on first, it was the older Lin Dabo, Wu Lilo finally got a clear look at what they were running away from, at the same time, Lin Dabo's screams echoed through the sky, Aaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

    It was a long-haired sheepdog that could not have been more common, but Lilo Wu wasn't sure if it was a dog or not.

    No dog would have such evil glowing red eyes, no dog's fur would be stained with blood and filth, and no dog would bite the neck of a middle-aged man down hard enough to lick the red and white liquid coming out of it.

    Wu Li Luo is about to vomit, and then she vomited, all sprayed in front of the front Jiang Meifang's chest, but Jiang Meifang did not care, she also heard the screams, the whole person and the paper as white as the dead body trembling.

    What kind of monster is that! Auntie Chen was much more calm, her vision was a bit blurry due to a slight fever and she could only barely see the dog attacking the humans.

    Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!! The second man was quickly caught up with the screams as more frenzied animals rushed up from behind.

    But in just half a minute, there was only one last person left, and the woman was trying to run to the supermarket, just a few steps away.

    Wu Li Luo looked up, just in time to see a mass of black shadow from the woman's side, that is a black husky, a pair of evil red eyes and the first few of the same excitement glow, it opened its mouth to bite a woman's thighs, dragged her back as if she were a toy bone, the force is very great, the woman screamed desperately want to escape, the husky but a palm pressed on the woman's body, and then opened its bloody mouth to the woman's abdomen to bite, instantly! Belly broken intestines flow, the woman convulsed a few times, there is no movement, into the mouth of the husky chewing flesh and blood.

    What's with the fretting! The monsters are going to rush in after they finish eating! Auntie Chen used her walking stick to hit at the two who couldn't return to their senses, Hide in the warehouse! There's still an anti-theft lock blocking it!

    Wu Lilo was still staring stupidly at the shocking scene in front of her, thinking that she could see what was broken, and then Auntie Chen's voice was like a computer instruction into her head, and like a robot she forcefully brought up Jiang Meifang who was still shivering, and followed Auntie Chen's footsteps to hide in the warehouse.

    Auntie Chen closed the door behind her and made sure the security lock was set before turning back to look at the two.

    Jiang Meifang, who had only just had a brush with hell, cowered in a corner, muttering and disoriented, having lost the ability to think.

    Auntie Chen sighed and checked on Wu Li Luo with worry again.

    There is no better only worse, Wu Lilo stood dumbfounded, feet straightened, stiff, living like a mummy coffin.

    Behave yourself! Auntie Chen shouted, she was born in the most difficult slums, everything she has now is spelled out with her bare hands, people who have lived to this age haven't seen many dead people, like that kind of scene just now, although she was initially scared out of her wits, but then she immediately came back to her senses, and the instincts that she cultivated since childhood reminded her that she had to quickly run for her life.

    Wu Lilo lifted slightly, her eyes reddened, only Aunt Chen's voice could reassure her now, she asked muffled, She ...... they... are all dead?

    Eh. Can she still live after being bitten like that? Aunt Chen does not blame Wu Lilo's disorder, after all, she is the jewel of the family, was pampered and protected since childhood, probably even the remains of the dead have not seen, and now a bloody massacre is staged in front of her live, Wu Lilo did not become Jiang Meifang like that is already very strong.

    I don't know what kind of monster ...... cough! Auntie Chen pounded her chest, trying to hide her discomfort.

    She must not fall now! She must also answer to Ro's mother.

    Auntie Chen found a stool and sat down, looking at Wu Lilo who was still standing dumbfounded, she commanded her with her hand, There should be a radio in the back shelves, go and look for it, and don't forget to bring the batteries and flashlight together.

    ***********************************************************

    Blind people don't have the means to make too much entertainment, so Ye Feifan has always had the habit of going to bed early and waking up early, but this night she tossed and turned, full of worry about Duo Duo's condition, and from time to time touched Duo Duo, who slept next to her bed, and Duo Duo didn't lick her, and was obviously still in a coma.

    The more Ye Feifan thought about it, the more pessimistic she became, and she couldn't sleep even when she hugged Moonlight and Boo Boo, but fortunately, she took a sleeping pill, dispensed it with water, and forced herself to go to sleep and not think about it.

    Ye Feifan, who had never taken sleeping pills before, fell asleep at once under the powerful effect of the medicine, and slept almost all night long

    Toward morning, she was awakened first by the soft morning sunlight that poured through the window, and then a fragmentary crashing sound completely roused her

    She was the only one on the bed, Luna and Boo Boo were nowhere to be found, in fact, usually the furry children who wanted breakfast would take the initiative to call her, only today it was quiet, no meows, no barks, no birds, only rude crashes ringing from outside the door, it was so eerie.

    Ye Feifan stepped off the bed, first tried to touch Duo Duo who was sleeping next to the bed, but flopped, and she didn't want to open the door and check it out alone, so she called Bu Bu's name, and responding to her was Bu Bu's thin wailing sound, Ye Feifan's heart tightened, and she grasped her crutches, and rushed outside.

    Boo Boo was nestled in the soft cushion under the dining table, he seemed to be sick, the symptoms were very similar to Duo Duo, he couldn't move because of discomfort, Ye Fei Fan made a call to the veterinary hospital, after waiting for a while there was still no one to pick up the call, she had to go and find Duo Duo Duo to come over first.

    The noise outside was still going on, Duo Duo seemed to be out of the house, Ye Feifan had a big doubt in her mind, she had a doggy door in front of her house, usually Duo Duo and Bu Bu, Moonlight would be free to move around, saving Ye Feifan the trouble of taking them for a walk, but Duo Duo had not been feeling well recently, and had not been outside for quite a while, so why did he suddenly have the spirit today? Why is he suddenly in good spirits today? Is he cured?

    Ye Feifan again called a few meters, called a few times without response, she thought to go out to see, her hand just put on the lock has been missing moonlight but from the dog door that rushed out.

    It scratched Ye Feifan's feet eagerly, unlike its usual deliberate pampering. Ye Feifan felt that Moonlight was trying to tell herself something, but she was no animal expert, so she could only lower her body to appease Moonlight.

    Knock knock knock ..... Strange noises came from the front door, and before Ye Fei Fan could notice anything, he heard Duo's yelp, followed by what sounded like something being pounced on, and then Duo's low hiss.

    Ye Feifan stood in the doorway, drenched in cold sweat, not daring to move in the slightest.

    She knew Duo too well to understand what Duo was doing now. Duo had been by her side before when she could barely see; once she had almost been abducted by a stranger and it was Duo who rushed up to protect her; another time; she had been bullied by a neighbor's kid and it was Duo who scared the bully away, and countless other times, it was Duo who had been by her side and protected her.

    So at the moment, when she heard Duo screaming outside the doorway, Ye Feifan knew that Duo was fighting something, that Duo was trying to protect her, and that running out on her own would only cause Duo to be distracted.

    After a while of silence, she wasn't hearing Duo Duo's screams, Ye Feifan could hardly hold on any longer, she gripped her crutches tightly and pressed herself against the door panel, trying her best to stare at the sounds outside.

    Kala, kala, kala, kala, kala, like the sound of something being stirred up, just as Ye Feifan could no longer restrain herself, and the hand holding the door handle was already ready to turn away.

Chapter 4: Loss

Woof~

    Just at the most tense moment, Duo came through the doggy door and gave Ye Feifan an affectionate pounce.

    As soon as Ye Feifan relaxed, she cried tears of joy, hugging Duo Duo and crying and screaming, ''Scared me to death! You scared me to death! DuoDuo beat the bad guy for me right! Right!"

    Oooooh~ flared Duo, nudging his nose against Leafyfan's cheek.

    While Ye Feifan was happy, she didn't forget the commotion outside just now, There's something outside?

    She placed her hand on the doorknob, Duo immediately growled in a low warning voice, Ye Feifan couldn't help but lower the doorknob, and after putting it up, she heard Duo's warning again, repeating it back and forth a few times, Ye Feifan knew that Duo didn't want to let herself go out, and that something must be going on outside.

    Ye Feifan uneasily felt her way to where the phone was, wanting to call the janitor downstairs, only she didn't manage to take a step as a gust of wind with a hissing sound swept past in front of her, and Duo immediately rushed up from behind, knocking Ye Feifan out of the way and roaring angrily at the commotion in front of Ye Feifan.

    Hiss! Ye Feifan felt a burning heat on her shoulder and touched it, it was hot and wet, she was probably injured.

    Kiki kiki kiki kiki! Ye Feifan's scalp instantly tingled as strange noises came from the front.

    Duo looked furious, and his bark had turned into a low hiss; even the moonlight beside him went on alert, making the piercing shrieks that come when the strings are pulled up.

    Ye Feifan felt helpless for the first time for her own eyes, if she could see she could figure out what was happening, now she could only listen to her pets barking and sketch out several horrible guesses in her mind.

    Please, please, who's over there? , the only thing that responded to her was an eerie chirping sound, and Ye Feifan couldn't even tell if it was a person or not.

    Duo Duo and Moonlight didn't have the same scruples as Ye Feifan, all Ye Feifan could hear was the sound of fierce fighting and the hissing and biting of animals coming from his ears, Duo Duo and Moonlight were attacking the unknown guy.

    Ye Feifan was terrified and could only cower in the corner, staring blankly ahead, hoping for a miracle to show her something.

    Until her cheeks were hot and wet, Ye Feifan hugged Duo's big head that had come up to her and said in a trembling voice, Did you drive him away?

    Moonlight purred lazily, and it seemed the alarm was lifted.

    Ye Feifan first sat paralyzed for a while, waiting for her feet to regain their strength before she warily stood up and touched the phone.

    She sat down against the couch, Duo and Luna nestled against her side, giving her a sense of reassurance, and Ye Fei Fan felt around, the radio was fixed on the coffee table, so she touched it at once, and turned it on smoothly, and the voice of a stiff system flowed out of it:

    To repeat, infected people and livestock will first experience symptoms similar to the common cold, and will soon fall into a brief coma, upon awakening the brain immediately loses its normal functioning, the consciousness falls into madness, the addiction to raw meat, and attacks on ordinary people, especially infected livestock is very dangerous, please do not bring any pets with you when making your retreat, and in the case of encountering the infected people you can take Please do not bring any pets with you on your retreat, and take self-defense action if you encounter an infected person. In addition, if you are bitten or scratched, you are at risk of infection. Please return to your homes, lock your doors and windows, and do not gather in public places. The military and police have already dispatched vehicles and manpower to assist the evacuation of the uninfected, so please do not be alarmed. In repeat, the infected ......"

    Ye Feifan opened her mouth slightly in disbelief, and Duo Duo sensed her fear and immediately brought his head over. Ye Feifan subconsciously hugged his huge, fluffy body and muttered, Just kidding, just kidding!

    Ye Feifan completely lost her eyesight at the age of ten, when it happened to be a fan of a foreign shooting game, and even the related movies were released one after another, Ye Feifan heard others say that the monsters in the original are normal people, but after being infected with a strange virus, they all turned into walking corpses that only know how to gnaw on human flesh, Ye Feifan was very curious, and wanted to see the movie, but her weakened eyesight could no longer support her weak desire. The movie was a great success, but her weakened eyesight could no longer support her weak desire.

    And with the movie she regretted missing out on now playing out for real, Ye Feifan wasn't excited at all, and she had almost foreseen her end - a piece of delicious fresh meat within her reach.

    Ye Feifan didn't have time to look back on her own life, or even her parents. The brightness of her memories had been left to DuoDuo, and even at this critical moment, she was only worried that she wouldn't be able to take care of DuoDuo and the rest of them -- she was a blind person with a bunch of pets, and it felt more like she was dragging them down. ......

    A! Ye Feifan remembered Qingdai and Jiaoge who were still hanging out, fearing that something had happened to them, he hurriedly touched the windowsill to check.

    There was no sound, not even the slightest sound of wings flapping, Ye Feifan touched forward, his fingers touched the hard bamboo strips, Ye Feifan followed and found the cage door, and touched inside, he didn't touch anything, not even the soft fallen feathers.

    Undeterred, Ye Feifan touched another bamboo cage, only this time she didn't touch the cage door, instead she touched a large hole. Feeling carefully, the bamboo strips that made up the bird cage seemed to have been bent hard by an external force, and a large hole was dented out, the inside was naturally empty.

    Ye Feifan drew a breath of cold air and immediately closed the window, two horrible possibilities surfaced in her mind: Qingdai and Jiaoge were eaten; or Qingdai and Jiaoge were both infected and turned into that kind of feared cannibalistic monster.

    Does BooBoo ...... do that too?

    Ye Feifan arrived at the restaurant with heavy steps, Bu Bu was still there, curled up on the cushion, his body slightly shivering, must be very uncomfortable. Ye Feifan called a few times, it did not respond, just like the radio said, first into a coma, and then woke up Bu Bu is no longer Bu Bu ......

    Fear and grief annihilated Ye Feifan's heart like a tsunami, as if she was a boat in the sea of anger, Ye Feifan could not find the direction or make any decision.

    She was holding a walking stick in her hand, thin and hard and can be retracted at any time, the store that sold her in the first place also specially added a small sharp blade at the bottom that can be jumped away at any time, because a young woman with limited mobility like her can be easily targeted, so the store was very considerate to install this defense mechanism, although it can't kill a person by stabbing them, but it can be waved around casually to scare off the thugs.

    Ye Feifan had forgotten about this matter a long time ago, but now it resounded with incomparable clarity.

    By stabbing at Booster's heart, Booster would be freed and she and Duo and the others would be safe.

    Ye Feifan gripped her cane tightly and let go again, opened it, let go again, opened it, and let go again, back and forth several times.

    She couldn't help but reach out and touch Boo Boo, the smooth and silky fur was the same as Duo Duo's, Boo Boo was the guide dog she had last year, because Duo Duo was getting old, Ye Fei Fan was afraid that it would be too much of a burden for her, so she asked for the three year old Boo Boo again like the Blind Mutual Aid Association had done.

    Boo Boo is young, likes to play, personality and impulsive, a series of matching several masters, broke into a large and small trouble, until the Ye Fei Fan here, no family members, she spends most of the time in the pet, completely satisfied Boo Boo moving and fun personality.

    Bu Bu especially likes to play with Moonlight, and when he is bullied badly by Moonlight, he will look for Ye Feifan to ask for comfort, and Ye Feifan always likes to make fun of him for this. In fact, Ye Feifan's time with Bu Bu was the shortest, but she really liked this energetic Labrador, like a ball of sunshine rolled into her calm and boring life, Bu Bu Bu gave her the cheerfulness and anger that had been lost for a long time.

    Thinking about this, Ye Feifan dropped the crutches in his hand, the injury on his shoulder started to burn and hurt at some point, and his mind started to get a little drowsy.

    Ye Feifan couldn't help but smile to himself.

    Yeah, she was hurt by that thing, right?

    It is a pity that Duo Duo animals just desperately protect her, I did not expect to still usher in this kind of end ...... also right ah, how can she a blind person continue to survive in such a world, anyway, even if alive is only a lingering, it is better not to drag down Duo Duo and the moonlight animals, there is a doggy door on the door, and they can go out on their own.

    Foreseeing his worse-than-death end, Ye Feifan began to give up on himself, the

    She slowly lay down on Bu Bu's body measure, close to its furry body, the pain began to spread, Ye Fei Fan suddenly felt very sleepy, the original fear and dread was completely overpowered by sleep, it was the virus that was beginning to consume her life, wasn't it? Ye Feifan closed her eyes and obediently lost consciousness.

    Darkness that is spreading.

    ***********************************************************

    Not far from the supermarket there were three other people dying.

    At Auntie Chen's request, Wu Lilo, while in tears, used an extension cord and thick rope to tie Auntie Chen to an iron post, while Jiang Meifang, who had regained consciousness, secretly sobbed.

    Before the two could react when the radio stated the signs of an infected person, Auntie Chan
