Waking from the nightmare, Jiang You was drenched in sweat. She drank a glass of ice water to calm herself, then stared blankly at the ceiling.
Her brows were nearly twisted into a knot.
How could she have dreamed of something like that? Ever since her rebirth, she had never dreamed about what happened in the laboratory.
Yet tonight's dream seemed to drag her back into that hell.
By then, it was nearly dark.
She walked onto the balcony and looked down. The water had risen quickly, but it was receding just as fast.
The water level was still between the second and third floors. It would probably be completely gone in another day.
Corpses that had turned into zombies floated motionlessly on the water, along with all kinds of pots, bowls, utensils, drink bottles, and bags of puffed food.
She saw someone in the building opposite holding a long bamboo pole with a fishing net attached to its end. He stood on the third-floor balcony, constantly fishing food out of the water.
Several people were beside him, helping to gather what he pulled up.
Jiang You opened her phone. The group chat was sharing videos of the salvage operation, with the people from the opposite building as the main subjects.
She had not expected their phones to still have power after the electricity had been out all night.
"I salvaged quite a lot of food and drinks. Anyone in this building who needs some can come to my place and take it!"
"Thank you, big brother. You're such a good person!"
"Good person, my ass. If you've got the guts, deliver it to my door! There are still zombies outside. Wouldn't sending me out be asking me to die? What are you plotting?"
"Exactly, exactly. Who'd dare go out?
