Walking in the autumn wind, everything around looks very bleak. A gust of north wind blows, rolling up bursts of khaki dust. When people are unlucky, people will walk in the dust. From a distance, they think they are filming a western blockbuster.
Just like that, Wei Xuan took his zombie boyfriend for a walk on such a desolate street. Looking at the surrounding buildings that were obviously very familiar in the past, at this moment, it feels like a world away. So, someone moaned without illness: âHey, this world⊠is no longer the world that human beings are familiar with.â
Du Hang next to him kept silent and low-key throughout the whole process, he would not follow Wei Xuanâs words like the zombie brother at home, as if he was extremely poor and bored, and would only directly pull people over to beg for kisses when needed.
After turning an intersection, Wei Xuan and the two had already arrived at the most prosperous pedestrian street in T City in the past, and they were going to go to the bookstore that he robbed earlier to search for more in-depth recipe books.
There are still a large number of idle zombies wandering on this road at this time, and the wandering zombies today have become much more lively than before, no longer exuding a dazed atmosphere everywhere, or constantly muttering âhungry, hungry ,hungryâ. After Wei Xuan came out this time, in addition to hearing the very familiar âhungryâ, he also found some zombies lying on the ground in any store that exudes the message of âsleepingâ during the day, and two of them were wearing clothes. A zombie in tattered sanitation workerâs clothes was wandering on the side of the road with a piece of broken wood, chanting âsweeping, sweeping, sweepingâ.
The weirdest one is an uncle zombie, wandering around with blank eyes, when he sees a female zombie, he runs over to grab her, and keeps sending out messages of âI want a wife, I want a wife, I want a wifeâ, and I was caught by it The female zombie will show its sharp nails and scratch at its face.
After Wei Xuan discovered this strange thing, he stood aside and observed it with interest for a long while, and finally found a female zombie who cursed âpervertâ after scratching the zombie, and then turned away with her zombie husband contentedly.
In fact, if you have nothing to do, itâs not bad to go shopping in the street and see how the zombies live outside? There are small theater performances anytime and anywhere, which is much more innovative than those old movies, old TV series, and old novels at home.
âThe book of non-staple food seasoning⊠the book of non-staple food seasoningâŠâ Wei Xuan walked to the bookshelf where he had found many recipes in the past, and began to look for the reference books he needed. A small amount of mutated grains can be grown at home. Although the taste of these things is definitely different from before, who knows if using the usual production methods can make those ingredients that have become less delicious What about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar?
Still the same sentence, anyway, he has plenty of time.
Wei Xuan was able to confirm in the process of rummagingâthis kind of very useful books is really not that easy to find, at least he did not find any related books in the largest bookstore in the city center that he knew.
But this doesnât bother him, besides this place, he also knows that there is a large collection of books of all kinds in another place: âThen letâs go to the Book Building.â
After confirming, Wei Xuan looked in the direction of the gate, and decided to go a little further this time. Anyway, he doesnât need to bring food when he goes out now. Even if he eats up all the snowflakes he brought, he can still dig the ground three feet to find it. What about food? And with the current situation of him and Du Hang, even if they donât eat snowflakes for a while, they wonât starve to death.
After seeing the three zombies, Healing Man and Fire Girl, Wei Xuan had some guesses about the situation of zombies and semi-zombies. He reckoned that even if human beings become zombies after death, they might not be able to survive without eating anything. Zombies also need energy supplementation, and this supplementation is nothing more than strange snow, human flesh, and mutant beast meat.
Needless to say about human flesh, you can guess it by looking at the madness of the zombies towards the living after they turned into zombified people. And the snowflakes of the strange snowâwhen the strange snow falls four times a year, you can guess it by looking at the reactions of the zombies at that time.
Wei Xuan estimated that at least one of the four times a year let the zombies eat a meal of strange snow from the sky, which should be enough to replenish their energy and sustain them for a long time.
Zombies who cannot touch snowflakes and eat human flesh may really be as analyzed by some people in some related works before the end of the worldâas time goes by, zombies will naturally decay, decay, and die .
This point can be seen by looking at the situation of the treatment manâs house this time, because the treatment manâs âgirlfriendâ used to eat more human flesh than Wei Xue, and recently after the treatment man also became a zombie, his girlfriend ran out of food, so it His body temperature was the lowest among the three zombies. Fire Girl usually feeds her son very punctually, so her and her sonâs body temperature is slightly higher.
Of course, why do some people look like normal people like themselves and the treatment man after turning into zombies? And some became zombies? Those who turned into zombies are also divided into those who have certain memoriesâsuch as Du Hang, and some who donât remember anything? Wei Xuan didnât know.
These may be just luck, or they may have to be explained from metaphysics, or they may be a matter of probability. No matter what it is, Wei Xuan thinks that he may not have a chance to answer it.
âLetâs go, letâs goâŠâ Wei Xuan stuffed a few cookbooks and novels that he had neglected earlier into his backpack, and took Du Hangâs hand to go out to the Book Building. Du Hang held his hand instead, and looked in a certain direction: âHere we come.â
âHuh? Youâre here?â Wei Xuan was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and asked with a frown, âWhatâs coming again?â He felt troubled when he heard the word âcomingâ recently.
Du Hang raised his finger and pointed in a certain direction: âThey are here.â Then, as if explaining, he added, âThe one who came last time, you have seen.â
âŠso is it a human or a zombie? And itâs not a single body, but more than two?
Wei Xuan decided to take time to increase Du Hangâs vocabulary after dealing with the troubles in front of him, and help him better understand human logical thinking, so that when something happens in the future, he will be confused and he will not be able to hear it. .
Without waiting for Wei Xuan to get entangled, and without Du Hang continuing to explain, the target person who âcomesâ appeared in the field of vision of Du Hang and Wei Xuan.
Seeing that the person who came jumped from a tall building, Wei Xuan judged that it was definitely not a person.
Afterwards, he felt an emotion of joy and fear.
Six or seven zombies came, one of them rushed towards the bookstore where Wei Xuan and Du Hang were located, and then happily pointed in a certain direction, jumping and jumping, exuding Wei Xuanâs very familiar words: âMy , mine, mineâŠâ
Well⊠Wei Xuan had long given up on their language skills, so he nodded and said in a very understanding way: âWhere is yours?â
A nod, plus a cheerier âmine.â
âWell, then you just take good care of it.â After that, Wei Xuan didnât know what to say. Didnât all these zombies come here last time? Why is this coming again?
However, is this zombie one of the zombies who circled around him and pointed in the direction of the territory last time? Why doesnât it seem to be among those few? Or is it that it walked slowly and didnât participate in the unified action of the zombies. This time, it found itself and Du Hang here and came here to declare the territory?
Thinking of this, Wei Xuan hastily reiterated his remarks that âI wonât occupy their territory, but if I pass by there and look for something, they donât make troubleâ.
The other party nodded, then turned around and ran away happily.
After the zombie left Wei Weixuan, he rested his chin in bewilderment: âHas it been injured? There is a big white spot on its back and arms, it should be a trace of healing after the injury?â Is it because of the injury? Did it not catch up with the collective action of the zombies last time?
Du Hang looked at the zombies who left: âWe fought.â
âIâll just say it! Thatâs definitely a wound.â
Wei Xuan bid farewell to this zombie who came out to find a sense of existence for no reason, and chatted with Du Hang while eating snowflakes, and walked all the way to the Book Building in the southeast of the city. The Book Building is not in the middle of the city center. If you take a car before the end of the world, it is four or five stops away from where Wei Xuan was before.
Fortunately, the buildings in the center of T City are small and compact, and the distance between each station is not too far away. Wei Xuan, who has greatly increased his physical strength, only took half an hour to reach his destination.
They had just seen the tall building of the Book Building from a distance, and the two of them hadnât gotten close to it when they noticed a few zombies jumping out of a commercial building on the side of the road.
Wei Xuan, who had just bid farewell to a group of zombies, was watching with twitching eyelids these few jumping and jumping around him, and he almost danced and pointed to his feet and cheered rhythmically, âMy, my âThe zombies deeply remembered in advance the emergencies that they might encounter along the way when they went out in the future.
Think about it, if you go hunting once, you will meet their boss every time you walk to a territory divided by intelligent zombies, and listen to them yelling âmy, my, myâŠâ all the way. He knew these places belonged to them, but they didnât have to declare it with this attitude, did they? I donât grab their territory, so they canât prevent me from taking things on their territory, right?
Smiling convulsively at the leading zombie, Wei Xuan said that he just wanted to go to that place to get a few books. Generally speaking, there is not only one book in the library, even if this guy likes it very much, he doesnât want to be robbed of it⊠At worst, he can write down the required information with a pen and paper, right?
However, the facts told Wei Xuanâhe was thinking too much.
Hearing that Wei Xuan was coming to get something, the zombie who was still jumping around him said: âTake, take, takeâŠâ
Feeling that the zombie didnât show any dissatisfaction, Wei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, so he simply took this zombie who occupied the land to the Book Building, and prepared to choose the books he wanted in front of it. If you donât feel right, leave home and take it as a copy, so as not to have any accidents afterwards!
