This is apocalyptic

Chapter 114 113: Cotton

"Will it get colder in the future?" Lin Duoduo held the thermos and took a sip of wine from time to time.

The time of winter has been extended, it comes earlier and leaves later, and the whole day is gloomy and the wind is bitingly cold.

The climate in the doomsday is really not suitable for human beings to survive.

"Actually, this kind of weather was not so bad before." Lin Duoduo said, "This kind of extreme weather makes people very cold, and it also causes great harm to the zombies. As long as we endure it, it will pass, and the zombies will not be so fierce next spring."

People always know how to survive better than mindless beasts and monsters.

"It's useless now... maybe we can get rid of some crazy animals?" Bai Xiao thought. It's not only hard to endure such cold weather, but also hard to find food. The big cats in the city also have to endure it. If they can't endure it, they may start eating old zombies. And the animals that are initially infected with zombies will be the same as the old zombies.

However, it is obviously impossible to solve them by relying on climate, and life will always find a way out.

Bai Xiao felt that if Lin Huayou were still there, he would be able to see the situation clearly, but unfortunately he left too early.

"The walls of my house are thicker, much better than yours. You should move here," said Lin Duoduo.

There are many rooms here, so you can just pick a small room. Small rooms can retain heat better, so Bai Xiao did not refuse.

My body warmed up a little, and I drank some wine and ate some roasted dried meat. Gradually, I felt better, but it was still pitch dark outside.

"Did your father tell you how to build a kang?" Bai Xiao was still thinking about the bricks left over from demolishing the wall. If they were not enough, he would go to other courtyards to demolish some more.

He described it to Lin Duoduo and drew a picture on her palm. Lin Duoduo understood, "My father wanted to make one before."

"is it?"

"In previous years, it wasn't just Aunt Qian and I who fled here to escape famine. Everyone is enduring this way. They don't have anything, but you do, and you're enjoying it. This is not acceptable," said Lin Duoduo.

The most important thing is to stay alive. Just bear it as long as you can. It was dangerous at that time and you couldn’t bear the fever for the whole winter.

"Aunt Qian should be okay, right?" When Bai Xiao heard Lin Duoduo mention Aunt Qian, he became a little worried about the old woman.

"She knows how to survive better than us." Lin Duoduo said.

The kettle on the stove was boiling again. She took the kettle down and put a small pot on it to cook some broth. It was very useful to drink a bowl of hot broth at this time.

After they shared half of the bottle of wine, Lin Duoduo put it away. Her eyes were sparkling and she didn't show any sign of getting drunk. Bai Xiao felt that he had become able to drink a lot as well, and he wondered if it was because of the infection.

He endured like this until dawn. The sky outside was gray. Bai Xiao lifted the curtain and stuck his head out to look. He was immediately cut on the face by the biting wind, which was extremely uncomfortable.

The wind was not very strong, but it was bitterly cold. Bai Xiao stuck his head out and then retracted it. Turning around, he saw Lin Duoduo dozing off in a chair. Her whole body looked tiny against her coat, with most of her face hidden behind the collar. This coat was like a thick quilt to her. Her hands were tucked into the sleeves, wrapping her tightly.

By noon, the sky was still gray. Bai Xiao and Lin Duoduo finally came out of the house, took down the door curtain on his side, brought it over here, and hung two thick layers on the door and windows.

He walked around the house. Except for the time when the wolves came at night, he had never entered Lin Duoduo's house. He looked around and found that the walls here were indeed thicker.

Bai Xiao picked a smaller room and moved in. He immediately ran to the fireplace. After staying outdoors for only a short while, he felt the cold air rushing through his clothes and seeping into the bones.

He felt that staying outside in this kind of weather would freeze him into a zombie.

"Don't lick my fingers. I don't want to wash my hands." Lin Duoduo pinched a piece of roasted jerky and gave it to the Zombie King while instructing him.

In fact, it was miraculous enough that the zombie didn't bite her but just licked her, but Lin Duoduo knew that he could still restrain himself. "I said that was an accident, I was distracted." Bai Xiao emphasized.

There was a handful of dates and dried persimmons next to the stove. This was not a meal, but something to eat when there was nothing to do. It was freezing cold outside, and Lin Duoduo and Bai Xiao didn't want to go out. This was how winter was supposed to be spent, taking a nap by the stove, and the day was over.

It’s just that it’s unexpectedly cold this year, and even the Zombie King can’t stand it.

Bai Xiao stared at the dates beside the stove, his fingers placed in front of him moving from time to time.

"What are you doing?" Lin Duoduo picked it up and ate it.

"I saw if there was any telekinesis that could make it move." Bai Xiao said, "It was successful. It disappeared."

"Really?" Lin Duoduo spat out the date pit and held it in her hand.

"At least the result was right."

Bai Xiao stared at a date again. This time Lin Duoduo did not eat it. Unfortunately, the telekinesis failed, and it just stayed there, motionless.

The Zombie King put it into his mouth with regret, and the small pile of dates was quickly eaten by the two people.

Lin Duoduo suddenly stretched out her hand, holding a few date pits.

"Let me help you throw it away?" Bai Xiao stretched out his hand to take it.

"Even if you want to talk secretly, I won't know." Lin Duoduo said.

"…Throw it yourself."

Bai Xiao didn't answer. Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to explain clearly. Lin Duoduo would definitely think he was talking secretly.

Lin Duoduo laughed out loud. She found that teasing the Zombie King was a very interesting thing.

Every time the zombie king drools, he looks silly. He only drools a lot when he first recovers, but he has been able to control it since then. The last time he wet her clothes was because he hadn't been so close to anyone for a long time. After getting used to it these days, he can control it again.

"I really don't know." Lin Duoduo said.

"You are so disgusting." Bai Xiao said.

"Who told you to drool every day? You were still smelling the medicine you applied before." Lin Duoduo said.

She threw away the date pit, squinted her eyes and dozed off. She ate and slept, slept and ate. This was the rule of winter.

Bai Xiao had been eating the roasted dried meat. He didn't feel hungry, but it was chewy. He added some firewood from time to time. Bai Xiao had almost finished reading all the books that Lin Duoduo had picked up in the past few days, so he slowed down and read them bit by bit.

When the fire was low, he threw some firewood in. He never stopped chewing. Zombies need to eat much more than this human. He could keep chewing like this all day long.

It was getting dark and the dim light was no longer enough to read. Bai Xiao went to the door and looked out. He saw that it had started snowing outside again without him noticing. Large flakes of snow were falling down like cotton wool.

The swept yard was covered with another layer of snow. Snow began to accumulate by the well and on the shed. The dark sky was all white. The frozen and cracked water tank was also covered with a layer of snow. The inside and outside of the house became two completely different worlds.
