This is apocalyptic

Chapter 102: 101: Barbarians

Bai Xiao said it easily. Lin Duoduo turned the large wild boar over. There were not only gunshot wounds but also knife marks on its body. The homemade gun could not hunt animals of this size.

He had a hard fight before he killed it.

"Are you hurt?" Lin Duoduo asked through the curtain.

"That's just the beginning. What I'm hunting outside are infected and crazy animals. You don't know, those hungry and skinny mad dogs gather in a large group and treat the town as their lair. They are more brutal than wolves. But I'm fine, right?" Bai Xiao said.

What he didn't say was that he was chased and hid on the rooftop for two days. Those social animals have adapted to the infection. They are not like the zombie-like animals after the primary infection that only follow the movement. They have a sense of cooperation and may also have the ability to reproduce.

The current situation in the mountains is not bad. The zombies broke out in the city and the food chain is still being reshuffled.

"I'll bandage you if you're injured."

"Just don't talk to me so close."

This human was talking to him just across the bed sheet, as if he was right beside him. Being so close to him while taking a shower made Bai Xiao feel a little awkward. "I always feel like you'll suddenly stick your head over here."

"Zombies are afraid of being seen." Lin Duoduo said with disdain.

Women in the doomsday are always tough, and Bai Xiao is not afraid of being seen... Well, he is a civilized zombie, different from these barbarians.

Bai Xiao said: "You are a barbarian."

Lin Duoduo's hand suddenly rested on the bed sheet, shocking the zombie king so much that his neck shrank. "What are you doing?"

"Don't think I can't hear you scolding me."

Lin Duoduo turned around and threw a large basin in. "Fill it with water. I'll soak the food we're going to eat later."

This kind of hunted animal is not like the pheasants and bamboo rats we usually catch, which have to be bled before killing. The blood inside will have a fishy smell if it is not soaked out.

Fortunately, Bai Xiao was not shot to death and then dragged back. When he dismembered the animal, he did not wait for it to cool down completely, so he let the blood flow.

Lin Duoduo took a knife and dug out the bullets from the pork, peeled the skin, and cut it into pieces. It was not an easy task, but she did not find it troublesome at all.

"I only brought back the pig heart and stomach, and left the rest there." Bai Xiao came out from behind the bed after taking a shower. He used to like eating pig liver very much, but given the current environment in the mountains, the internal organs are always unreliable. He also never eats the internal organs of those infected animals on the road.

He originally wanted to catch a muntjac, but instead of a muntjac, he encountered a wild boar.

After cleaning up, he sat on a stool under the eaves, leaning against the wall, watching Lin Duoduo busy in the yard.

Friday outside smelled blood and wandered around the door, bumping into the protective fence from time to time.

Lin Duoduo also knew that it was not as easy as he said. The Zombie King needed to rest now. "Go lie down for a while and eat something else to fill your stomach. It will probably take a long time to recover."

"I'll just sit for a while." Bai Xiao said, leaning against the wall. He rummaged through his fishy-smelling clothes and took out a handful of chestnuts from his pocket.

I picked these up when I passed by a chestnut tree. They can be used as snacks after being roasted over a fire, so I picked up a handful and put them in my pocket to bring back.

Lin Duoduo worked the well, cut large pieces of meat, washed them, and soaked them in water to remove the blood. She looked at the yard and saw some bamboo rats, pheasants, wild ducks and other things that she wanted to store, so she just hung them on the stove and smoked them.

Now there is so much meat but the stove is not big enough to smoke too much. She is considering setting up a place to smoke the meat. If it is handled well, the meat can have a relatively rich winter.

She used to hate wild boars. Occasionally, they would come down from the mountains and dig around in the fields. Many things she hadn't dug up yet would be destroyed by the wild boars. The wild wheat would also be trampled down. And there was nothing she could do about it in the dark at night.

When it becomes food, it is not so disgusting. "There is so much meat, eat as much as you want. Don't think about keeping it for the whole winter. There is more on the mountain." Bai Xiao seemed to see through her thoughts and said.

"I have a zombie apocalypse."

"What is that?" Lin Duoduo asked.

"Have you noticed that Uncle Choi and Friday can always find you outside?"

"Ah."

"They are old and not so sensitive, but I am still fresh... young and more sensitive than them. The night you came back, you were lying on the wall and peeking at me, but I found you." Bai Xiao said.

Bai Xiao half-closed his eyes and leaned against the wall behind him to rest.

Wild boars have a very low body fat percentage, not much fat, and are all red meat.

Lin Duoduo changed the water several times, divided it into small pieces, put cold water into the pot, slowly skimmed off the blood foam and so on, took it out, washed it, and threw it into the pot together with the pepper and hawthorn.

The fragrance slowly overflowed. She stewed it with the lid on. The aroma of food always warmed people's hearts.

Cut the remaining meat into strips, put it in a basin and rub it with salt. She repeatedly applies salt to every part. When it is marinated with salt, it can be hung on the stove, otherwise it will go bad soon.

The meat in the pot needs to be cooked for a long time. At this time, the taste is not important. The first thing is to cook it absolutely thoroughly. Wild boar meat itself is hard, and it keeps bubbling in the pot.

When Bai Xiao opened his eyes after a rest, Lin Duoduo was already hanging out the clothes. She had also washed the blood-stained rifle and the dog-leg knife.

"It's almost done." said Lin Duoduo.

Bai Xiao stood up and moved his shoulders. The rope had been tight around his shoulders when he dragged the girl back, which was a bit uncomfortable. The yard was still filled with a fishy smell. Everything was handled by her in an orderly manner.

He took the chestnuts and placed them next to the stove. When they were heated, he pinched a hole in them and handed them to Lin Duoduo. Lin Duoduo tossed them in her hands, blew on them, and when she peeled them, hot steam came out of them.

These were the snacks they had brought back from the mountain. They were quickly shared and eaten. Lin Duoduo also opened the lid of the pot, stirred it with a spoon, and scooped out a piece for the Zombie King to taste.

"Meat is still delicious." Bai Xiao sighed.

Zombies eat meat.

This was the fullest he had eaten since leaving the storage cellar left by the reveler. While eating, he told Lin Duoduo to eat more.

"You're so skinny. Put on some weight to resist the cold." Bai Xiao stood there after eating and pointed to his rehabilitation training equipment - the horizontal bar. "Now there's no shortage of food. You'd better exercise with me and turn that weight into muscle. Keep going and you'll become a human with abdominal muscles."

"What's the use?"

"You can live longer." The zombie encouraged her, "If you have enough food, you should turn it into strength."

Bai Xiao felt that a barbarian woman with abdominal muscles seemed to be——

"When you become a zombie one day, you can bite a few more people." Bai Xiao painted a very strange pie for her, depicting a very bad future.

Lin Duoduo was a little full. Wild boar meat is much more filling than wild vegetables. She wanted the Zombie King to eat more and grow more meat, so she cooked some more.

There was still a little left, so Bai Xiao asked her to leave it there and eat it later. He didn't know how efficient his absorption was, so it would be better to eat small and frequent meals at first.
