"Squeak!!!"
With a loud gasp, Zou Wei woke up.
Trexa gran jumped happily, licking his face.
"Trexa.... oh.. hey..." he sat up straight. His back creaked loudly. The tub was not the tight place to lie in. It just aggravated his back ache even more.
"What time is it?" he glanced at his digital watch. It stopped working and so did his phone. The house had light, at least.
He stood up with difficulty and folded the sheets up. "That was not that bad, right Trexa? We survived. Yue said that the initial infected turn swiftly or get a fever for a long time." He checked his temperature. It was slightly hot but not bad.
"I guess I'm good," he walked up to the door. "Honey, are you up now?"
There was no sound outside.
Trexa gran anxiously ran in front of his leg, sniffing under the bathroom door.
"Honey?"
"Squeak!" the rat pointed to something outside.
"Zou Nui! Answer me. Are you okay?"
Only silence prevailed.
