As Janice sipped her chicken soup, the awkward atmosphere in the living room gradually dissipated. Other than the sound of eating, there was only silence.
As he ate, Albert subconsciously looked at the decorations in the living room.
The entire room, perhaps due to the arrival of the apocalypse, had a sense of time.
However, all kinds of tools and facilities were neatly arranged.
It could be seen that such a small family had survived the end of the world with great difficulty.
At this moment, Albert's eyes moved and he said, "Hey, uncle, what's this map behind you?"
His voice rang out.
Reggie, Phyllis, and Robert heard him.
They turned around and saw a half-human-sized map in front of them.
What was special about this map was that all the areas on it were circled in red circles.
There was another area that was circled even more clearly.
Looking at the map, Reggie couldn't help but smile. "Oh, you mean this?"
"This is the map of the Toefl district. It's just that I've made all sorts of marks on it."
Reggie held a cigarette in his mouth as he explained proudly to the marks on the map.
"Look, this is a clothing district near our home."
"There is a row of clothing stores there. Usually, if I can't wear any clothes at home, I will go there to collect clothes that can be worn."
"After walking for so many times, I even planned a route with the least number of zombies."
After saying that, Reggie pointed at the map again.
"This is a furniture factory. It's quite big. After so long, the furniture there is broken and basically can't be used!"
"But usually, if I need tools or something, I will come here to find wood to use!"
"This furniture factory has also planned out the safest route."
..
As soon as he finished speaking, Reggie looked back and forth on the map and finally pointed to a place. He smiled and said, "Look at this place. After three years of investigation, I have explored this place."
"This area can be said to be the best environment in my home. There are trees, flowers, and a lake."
"I usually go there to relax when I'm unhappy."
"Alright, alright, I'll continue to tell you. This map took me a lot of effort!"
Reggie laughed and continued to tell everyone.
..
More than ten minutes passed.
It was also at this time.
Albert looked at an area on the map the entire time.
For some reason, this area seemed to have been deliberately avoided by Reggie.
And this area was the area with the most obvious red circle on the map. The red circle that was circled was very big, and there was more than one red circle.
It was as if it had been circled again and again.
Thinking of this, Albert was puzzled and subconsciously asked.
"Uncle Reggie, what is this area surrounded by many red circles?"
His voice was heard.
Regent was stunned, then he looked at Albert's finger.
When he realized where Albert was pointing, he immediately scratched his head and laughed.
"Haha, oh, you mean here?"
"This is a hospital near us. There are a lot of zombies nearby, so I circled it."
"Oh, I see..."
Hearing that, Albert nodded.
At the same time...
Reggie, who had just finished explaining, looked at Albert again and said seriously, "By the way, Sam's supermarket you're going to next seems to be surrounded by a lot of zombies. Remember to be careful."
"Okay, thank you."
Albert nodded and thanked him.
After explaining the map, the few of them sat down again.
Just when Albert was about to drink the soup, he suddenly noticed Reggie and asked, "Uncle, don't you want to drink the soup?"
Hearing that, Reggie smiled and shook his head, "I've already eaten. You guys can eat."
Hearing Reggie's words, Albert nodded and drank the chicken soup again.
Gradually, the bowl of chicken soup gradually bottomed out.
Looking at Janice who was still eating, Albert and the other two consciously stopped what they were doing.
Since the other party was a little girl, they had to make sure that the little girl was full first.
However, what the three of them didn't expect was that.
When they put down the small bowl, Janice also put down the small bowl immediately. She looked at Reggie with her watery eyes and said.
"Dad, Janice is full. Can we not eat anymore?"
Full?
Looking at Janice, Albert was a little surprised.
In fact, because he was sitting across from her, he had observed Janice clearly, whether intentionally or not.
This little girl had only drunk a few mouthfuls of soup from beginning to end. She had not even eaten a single mouthful of chicken. Even if she was just a child, how could she be full with such a portion?
As expected, just as Janice opened her mouth to speak, Reggie's expression changed.
"Hey, Janice, what's going on with you recently? This chicken soup was specially made for you."
"In the end, you even wasted this. During doomsday, do you know how important this little bit of food is?!"
At the end of his words, Reggie scolded loudly.
Janice was instantly frightened. Then, she picked up the small bowl with her small hands and said weakly, "Yes, dad, I'll eat..."
She was also watching this scene from the other side.
Albert and the other two were all stunned...
???
What on Earth was going on?
These words appeared in the hearts of Albert and the other two almost at the same time.
When Robert saw this, he couldn't bear it any longer. He pressed the table with one hand and stood up. Then, he looked at regent and said, "Hey, uncle, even if the little girl doesn't want to eat, you don't have to force her like this, right?"
"Huh?"
Reggie's serious eyes turned to look at Robert. He was about to get angry, but he immediately suppressed it and said slowly.
"Okay, you should be sleepy after dinner. Pick a room in the house to sleep in."
Reggie's words came out.
Robert suddenly felt like he was choked and couldn't say anything.
"Alright, Peter, let's go and rest."
Albert's calm voice sounded beside him.
"Albert, you..." Robert turned his gaze over, but when he saw Albert's calm expression, he had no choice but to say nothing.
No matter what, the truth was still the same.
Janice was someone else's daughter. No matter how Reggie disciplined her, it wasn't up to outsiders like them to say anything.
It would be fine if they were more aware of such things, but if Reggie brought it up, the situation would be very ugly.
Thinking of this, the three of them chose a room together and walked in.
They closed the door.
It seemed that this place often received people, and there were several bunks on the floor that could completely accommodate the three of them.
After the three of them took a short rest, they lay on the floor and covered themselves with blankets.
The lights were not on in the room.
The only light was the sliver of light that came through the gap between the door and the living room.
At this moment, Janice seemed to have finished the chicken soup.
Just when the three of them thought that this was the end of the matter.
After cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, Reggie's calm voice suddenly sounded.
"Janice, you haven't forgotten today's mission, right?"
"Yes... dad, I haven't forgotten."
The father-daughter conversation sounded.
The expressions of the three people lying on the carpet instantly changed.
Mission?
What mission could the young Janice have? What could she do?
