I work as a housekeeper in Guilou

What are they? Do zombies count as humans?

This is the question that the stall owner wants to know most after he mutates into a zombie.

It can still think, it still has reason, it can still speak normally, its memory is still very clear, it has all kinds of emotions, and its thinking is no different from before it was bitten.

It just got bitten, so why is it not considered human?

It sat next to its neighbor's body and thought about it.

Of course, the stall owner has seen other humans mutate into zombies. At first, he could still speak normally and behave like normal people, but soon his bestiality would show up and he would hug and gnaw on other people.

The time should not exceed one day at most.

However, after it was bitten, the changes that occurred were negligible, except that it developed an unhealable wound on its body, stopped its heartbeat and breathing, and found humans to be very fragrant.

The smell is similar to the fishy smell of squid. It makes it feel hungry when it smells it, but it can control itself.

It didn't eat humans at first.

At that time, it felt that it was still a human being, just an unlucky human being, hiding among the crowds and fleeing wherever the people fled.

It didn't hide for long before others discovered the wound on its leg. Then it could see the most vicious eyes, hear the most vicious sounds, and suffer the most vicious treatment.

They looked at it not as if they were looking at people, but as germs and garbage.

Therefore, when it looked at them, it no longer looked at people, but at its food.

Gradually, it no longer hides in the crowd because it feels like a human being, but because it wants to hunt.

If it wants to eat people, it will always encounter some psychological barriers.

So it deliberately exposed its bitten leg and begged them not to hurt it so that it could leave on its own.

Some people are willing to let it go, while others want to kill it "freshly bitten" and "looking like a human being".

If it encounters the former, it will really run away and blend into the next group of people; if it encounters the latter, it will be time for extra food.

Before the apocalypse came, it was just a stall owner; after the apocalypse, it didn't expect that its evolved abilities would also be in the same direction, and it returned to its old business, just changing the ingredients.

The iron brain, iron eyes, and iron tongue are all fully cooked. It does not eat raw food.

The days passed like this, and it accepted its identity as a zombie well, until it blended into a small gathering place.

There, it met its neighbor, a good old man.

At times like this, good people are the ones most likely to die. It has always been curious, how do such people survive?

During an outing, it repeated its old tricks and exposed its wounds. The neighbor stopped others who wanted to kill it, and even gave it his own rations after it offered to leave.

Give it food. Do you think it can survive or something? It felt speechless and had no desire, so it changed directions and continued its hunting game.

It took a long time before it saw its neighbor again, who also turned into a zombie, the same zombie as itself.

A zombie that can speak, think, have reason, and have emotions.

It thought it had found an ally, but it didn't.

It saw a zombie that committed suicide.

The neighbor jumped from a tall building. His body and limbs were all twisted, but he was not dead and could still move.

The last words the stall owner heard from his neighbor were: "Kill me."

The neighbor felt that he was a human being and wanted to die in a human way instead of living by eating his own kind. "When it jumped off the building, it left a big shock to me."

Xia Qimiao subconsciously looked at Jiuer and found that its posture had not changed, and it had no reaction to the word "jump off the building".

Did you guess the wrong person?

She frowned, turned her attention back, and then listened to the stall owner.

"I feel like I'm a zombie and no longer a human being, but it feels like it's a zombie but also a human being."

"I see the shining humanity in it, and I have been thinking about a question, are zombies still humans?"

"I never had an answer, but today, you showed up."

The stall owner looked at the zombies Xia Qimiao picked out. They were all A-level, that is, the ones with emotional and rational responses.

Other zombies are controlled by it and say "they are believers", but these are not controlled by it and all express their own free will.

She singled them out with great accuracy, and they were "acknowledged" by the gods as humans.

The stall owner was not particularly excited. It seemed that his first feeling after getting the answer was emptiness because it was meaningless.

The zombies are humans, so what?

It will not change the current situation of the zombies, it will only add a lot of trouble to them.

If they were deprived of their ability to think, they would not be as confused, entangled, and capricious as they are now.

The stall owner not only wants humanity to survive forever and continue the race, but he also wants to destroy humanity and turn everyone into zombies.

There are only zombies left in this world, so there will be no fighting and killing each other. If everyone dies together, how can it not be regarded as a kind of peace?

However, if they are all zombies, zombies cannot reproduce and reproduce. Sooner or later, zombies will become extinct, and humans will also become extinct. Then there will be no real future.

Therefore, the stall owner has been hesitant and has not thought about what to do next. He just restrains the zombies from going out to eat randomly, while he sets up the stall and kills time while thinking.

Maybe the gods can really help it?

When this idea came out, it was shocked. It originally thought that there was no god in this world, but the presence of a suspected messenger from the gods in front of it made the drowning man see a life-saving straw.

Maybe the straw looks intact but is actually rotten and will break when pulled. What if it wants to give it a try and be saved?

"Why did God No. 3 come here?"

Xia Qimiao had been asked this question countless times on the way here. Her explanation to the humans in the base was that she was looking for Alcania.

However, facing the zombies in front of her, she changed her words.

"Alkania told Lord Three that this world has no value."

The stall owner could not forget the name of the continent that raised it, which was Alcania. It chewed the words "worthless" in its heart.

Before it could taste the specific taste, it heard the next sentence from the woman opposite.

"Lord God No. 3 thinks that there is still value here," she paused in her voice, staring at it with clear eyes, "Lord God will not abandon any believer."

"So, what is your wish?"

"My wish is to turn back into a human being, end the apocalypse, and return to normal life... This is our common wish."
