This is apocalyptic

Chapter 106: 105: Healthy Humans
It's not that easy to survive.

Bai Xiao looked at Lin Duoduo holding the rifle. He wondered how old she was when she first used a gun and whether her hands were so steady.

Handing the rifle to Bai Xiao, seeing Bai Xiao fiddling with it with his head down, Lin Duoduo suddenly asked, "You know how to use it, right?"

"Probably... I guess." Bai Xiao's words were full of uncertainty.

Lin Duoduo looked at him with some suspicion.

"How about I go with you."

"I'm safer on my own."

Bai Xiao tried to pick up the gun. It felt heavy, unlike the guns he had touched before when he was playing with balloons.

There is only this one in the whole village.

"Where did Aunt Qian get this gun?" Bai Xiao asked.

"Uncle Cai left it to her." Lin Duoduo said.

Bai Xiao didn't ask any more questions. The old zombie... was the one who rushed out with Lin Huayou at the beginning of the disaster.

There was still some wild boar meat left that hadn't been eaten up yet, so there was no need to rush. Lin Duoduo cooked the wild vegetables. It was not enough to eat only the meat, so she had to combine meat and vegetables. After doing all this, she went under the shed and lay on the mat to do bench presses.

"Be careful, it won't press on your chest, right?" Bai Xiao advised.

"Shut up."

Lin Duoduo took a deep breath, and after a moment she suddenly put down the dumbbells and sat up, "Why don't you use it?"

"I'll use it too. You do it first and we'll take turns. By then, I'll be a big muscular zombie and you'll be a big muscular human. Nothing can stop us."

It's extremely scary for a gym student to turn into a zombie, and a zombie to turn into a gym student...

It's still scary.

The weather was getting colder day by day, but Lin Duoduo was still sweating, her hair stuck to her forehead, and the smell of humans became stronger.

When the weather gets colder, you can no longer take a shower directly at the well. If you want to wash your hands and feet, you have to boil hot water. This is also one of the reasons why Lin Duoduo doesn't like winter. Everything becomes very troublesome.

Lin Duoduo went behind the bed sheet set up in the yard, adjusted to the cool water temperature by the well, and wiped her body with a towel. The sound of splashing water was heard. Bai Xiao was sitting in a pile of junk looking for something useful. He found that he could see behind the bed sheet from this angle, because the bed sheet was originally used to block the view from the shed, but he was not in the shed now.

He and Lin Duoduo met eyes and were startled. Lin Duoduo looked at him expressionlessly, without screaming or blushing, but pulled the bed sheet to cover it tightly.

Women in the doomsday are tough.

Lin Duoduo came out after taking a shower and getting dressed. She glanced at the zombies. The zombie king lowered his head and continued to transform the usable scraps into tools.

There are always some unexpected things happening when two people live together, just like the glimpse when he was hanging on the horizontal bar that day. Lin Duoduo just walked over and watched him transform some rags he brought back from scavenging and turned them into useful things.

"Where did this bow come from?"

"I found it in the city. Someone else had used it before and it can't be fixed."

This is a compound bow. As Lin Duoduo said, it is difficult to repair. Without a bowstring and arrow, it won't be very powerful if you just tie it with a rope.

She had also looked for matching supplies in the city. She had picked up arrows but had never seen a bowstring. A shooting gallery had been cleared out long ago, and places with weapons would hardly be spared after a disaster.

These are things that Lin Duoduo thought might be useful, but she couldn't use them for the time being. When she was scavenging, she threw them on the tricycle because they didn't take up much space. She brought them back, and she had accumulated a lot over time. It was getting dark, and after dinner, Lin Duoduo went to rest. She didn't feel anything during the exercise, but she knew that her chest would be as sore as her back tomorrow.

I'll do shoulder training tomorrow.

When all the wooden signs on the wall have been turned over, it means that a week has passed, the soreness in the back has disappeared, and it is time to exercise the back again.

Lin Duoduo touched the zombie king's belly to see if the flesh had grown back, but unfortunately there was not much change.

"Not so fast." Bai Xiao said.

He had some confidence in recovery, not because of anything else, but because he didn't lose his hair.

Although not losing hair does not seem to have anything to do with recovery, Bai Xiao feels that this proves that his body has not lost vitality. Unlike those skinny old zombies, as long as his hair does not fall out, he will still be a fresh zombie.

With sufficient food supply, the flesh will grow back sooner or later.

Bai Xiao smelled a faint smell of blood. As a zombie, he was always very sensitive.

"You are a healthy human."

"Do I need you to say it?" Lin Duoduo said.

"You can cut back on your training today."

"why?"

"Because you are a healthy human being." Bai Xiao said.

There was fog outside, indicating that winter was approaching. The Zombie King's hair had also grown longer, so Lin Duoduo used a pair of scissors to cut it for him. When she was cutting her own hair, Bai Xiao said it would look better if it was longer.

Lin Duoduo looked in the mirror and thought for a while. She decided not to cut her hair too short. If her hair was short in winter, her head would also feel cold.

The morning fog filled the ruins, and the sky and the earth were all white. Once there was fog, Lin Duoduo would not leave the yard. The visibility was too low, and people always felt that there were some monsters hidden in the fog. Even if there were no monsters, she still retained the habits of her early years.

In the early years, no one went out on foggy days. Only when the sun came out and the fog dissipated would the world come alive. Otherwise, the outside would be a world of zombies and no living people could survive in such an environment.

Bai Xiao actually likes to go out at times like this. He is the monster hidden in the fog, not the hunted. Since realizing this, foggy days make him feel safe.

The visibility is no more than three meters. This is the world of zombies. Even old zombies will be more dangerous at this time. Friday does not show his shadow, just wandering around in the white with his bamboo basket on his back.

The environment is relatively quiet on foggy days, and there is less interference with the movement of living things, so animals may feel safer and go down the mountain to find food. On the other hand, fog may affect the animals' judgment of the surrounding environment, causing them to lose their way and accidentally go down the mountain.

The water in the river hasn't frozen yet, but it's very cold.

Bai Xiao, carrying a harpoon, walked up the hillside to take a look, then turned back to the side of the mountain road. He put on a big hat and his collar stood up. His skinny figure in the fog was no different from Friday and Uncle Cai.

He listened quietly to the movements in the fog. After a long time, he felt that he was no longer a human being and positioned himself as a predator.

Like a ghost walking in thick fog, this is something humans cannot do.

There was movement in the bamboo forest beside the mountain road, and Bai Xiao approached with light steps. He suddenly remembered a movie he had seen before, which was about a world filled with fog, and there were monsters outside whose shapes could not be seen clearly, devouring anyone who walked out of the house. Now it was very similar in the ruins.

He took off the harpoon, gripped the cold handle tightly, and the zombie king began hunting again.
