This is apocalyptic

Chapter 10: My Heartfelt Thoughts
Friends are good.

At least if food is scarce one day, he should not be shot by Lin Duoduo. At least he can be let out to fend for himself. After all, they are friends. How can you shoot at your friend?

Bai Xiao thinks that the most ideal relationship between two people, or between humans and zombies, is: I won’t eat you, and you won’t shoot me.

After all, being able to communicate and being rational isn't much different from humans.

What's more, he is a zombie who can work and chop wood.

Lin Duoduo woke up very early in the morning. She got up before the sun came out every day. Her schedule was so healthy that it was outrageous. At her age, in the world where Bai Xiao originally lived, there were many people who just fell asleep in the early morning.

After all, there are no entertainment activities in the apocalypse, and people rest as soon as it gets dark.

"Bai Xiao, Xiao Bai, good morning." Lin Duoduo greeted him energetically while pressing the well which seemed very old in Bai Xiao's eyes.

The air in the early morning was fresh and the surroundings were very quiet, with only the creaking sound of water being pumped out of the well and the sound of chains breaking.

Ever since the appearance of this conscious zombie, the yard is not so depressing and quiet anymore. Before this, the yard was dead silent, and there was nothing else to do except eating and working.

Lin Duoduo was very glad that she had tied this guy back that day. As for the fact that he could work, it was a pleasant surprise.

Last winter, she was alone, without any peace or quiet. Every day she looked at the withered yellow leaves, ate alone, worked alone, and lived alone. She could hardly remember how she spent the previous year.

Bai Xiao's washbasin was also filled with water. The zombies and humans squatted on the ground, one under the eaves and the other under the shed on the south side, and scooped up water to wash their faces.

Lin Duoduo buried her head in the basin and held her breath. After more than a minute, bubbles began to appear and she raised her head with water droplets on her hair.

She wiped her face and turned around to see Bai Xiao also buried his head in the basin, motionless as if dead. She slowed down her wiping of her face, until nearly three minutes later, she saw him raise his head and wipe his face. Lin Duoduo laughed.

"Yesterday I saw the locust tree outside was about to bloom. I can pick some and eat them when the time comes."

Lin Duoduo wiped her face while speaking, not caring whether Bai Xiao could understand such a long conversation or not, or whether his brain would be overloaded, "That locust tree is really big... It grew a lot last year, and we didn't eat it all."

As he spoke, he started pressing the wooden pole next to the well and took out the toothbrush that was almost completely bristled.

"Duoduo."

"Ok?"

"I brush."

Bai Xiao tried to make the motion of brushing teeth.

"Ah? You brush your teeth too?" Lin Duoduo tilted her head, seeming to find it hard to understand.

Seeing Bai Xiao nodded, she hesitated, looked at the toothbrush, and then looked at Bai Xiao.

"Okay." She washed the toothbrush. This toothbrush should have been retired, but she was reluctant to throw it away because she was thrifty. After washing it, she gave it to Bai Xiao.

But Bai Xiao was not very happy, and his eyes were a little indescribable.

"It's okay, use it." Lin Duoduo said generously, "I have another one." She went back to the room and took out another old toothbrush.

Bai Xiao still didn't move.

Lin Duoduo thought about it and said incredulously: "Are you disliking me?"

This is so funny, a zombie actually despises her as a human.

"Give it back to me if you don't need it." Lin Duoduo was still unhappy. The zombies were so picky. What was she brushing for?

"Uh……"

Bai Xiao looked at the toothbrush that had almost lost all its bristles, and then looked at Lin Duoduo. The industry had all come to a standstill, and these were all non-renewable resources. It seemed that they had to make do with them if they could, and if they couldn't, they had to make do with them.

I struggled for a long time.

Between refusing and compromising, Bai Xiao chose to compromise.

Even if I become a zombie, I want to be the zombie with the best teeth.

Bai Xiao pointed at the toothpaste. Lin Duoduo looked distressed. "How about I get you some salt to rinse your mouth?" She repeated slowly, "Salt, rinse your mouth."

Bai Xiao sighed.

"Here." Lin Duoduo threw the remaining toothpaste over. She still had some toothpaste in stock, but she still had many years to live.

Lin Duoduo watched the zombie brushing its teeth with an inquiring look. Zombies were always bloody and dirty, and they smelled bad even from a distance. Although Bai Xiao was very good at washing his face, it was a bit too particular.

"To be honest, your drooling every day is equivalent to gargling. I don't think it's necessary to be so particular about it." Lin Duoduo said.

The zombies didn't want to pay attention to her.

When brushing his teeth for the first time in such a long time, Bai Xiao felt as if his whole body was sublimated.

I got back the feeling of being a human being.

Other zombies all stink.

"I. Am. recovered." Bai Xiao excitedly.

"Yeah, recovery."

Lin Duoduo responded and took out a small notebook to write down his obsession with brushing his teeth.

"You smell so good." He wanted to say some words of thanks to Lin Duoduo, but Lin Duoduo was not far away, and the morning air was fresh and the human scent was strong, which caused him to speak like this as soon as he opened his mouth.

Bai Xiao calmed himself down and closed his eyes. Fortunately, his tongue was still stiff and the other party did not hear him clearly, otherwise he might have been shot dead.

"What did you say?" Lin Duoduo looked back and saw that the food had not been cooked yet, so what did she say smelled good?

"Thank you." Bai Xiao clasped his hands together.

Lin Duoduo was suspicious: "You are drooling."

Bai Xiao said: "I'm sick."

Lin Duoduo looked at him deeply, and Bai Xiao lowered his head, picked up the book and opened it.

"I won't let you go." Lin Duoduo said.

"Okay." Bai Xiao nodded.

His body was a little stiff, and because of the chains it was inconvenient to move, so he wanted to ask the other party to remove the chains yesterday. He thought about it carefully, it was indeed dangerous to remove them, and it was unthinkable to stay with an infected person without any protection. He understood and supported it.

If Lin Duoduo hadn't pulled him back from outside, maybe he would have been hugging and chewing that rotten zombie now, or maybe they would have become good friends.

"Friend." Bai Xiao said.

"Yes." Lin Duoduo paused, "Friends don't drool over friends."

"It's a disease."

Bai Xiao picked up the braces placed aside, cleaned them in a basin of water, and put them on.

Lin Duoduo sighed.

"Don't worry." Bai Xiao smiled, "Get better."

"Yeah, it'll be fine."

Drooling on your friends is embarrassing, dangerous, and extremely scary.

When Bai Xiao lowered his head to flip through the book, Lin Duoduo went out with a gun. No sound was heard, and it seemed that the zombies that followed him back yesterday had indeed left.

Every time Lin Duoduo went out, he was worried that this guy would not come back. He didn't know what the outside world was like. However, being able to survive in the end times is a symbol of strength.

Unlike him, a newbie, who was bitten by a zombie and now can't speak clearly.

Bai Xiao carefully opened the bandaged wound and took a look. There was no major change. The corpse spots were still there, but the good news was that they had not expanded.

He moved his arms, but they were very stiff. After thinking for a while, he stood up and wanted to move around. He stood there quietly for a moment, then started doing radio gymnastics.

He firmly believed that moving around randomly would not be as effective as the popular radio gymnastics for the whole body. We must believe in human wisdom.

It’s just that it’s a bit weird to see zombies doing radio gymnastics.
