This is apocalyptic

Chapter 116 Chapter 115: Being eaten (Thanks to ArcherX03 for being the leader, I owe you this)

The snow stopped but it was not the end. It was difficult for Bai Xiao to go out. The snow was so thick that he would get stuck if he walked on it. He could only clear some of it first. He wanted to go and see how Aunt Qian was doing, so he didn't wait for the snow to clear the way bit by bit and walked through the thick snow with difficulty.

The old lady was still alive, hiding in the house with Uncle Cai. Uncle Cai was tied in the corner and all the furniture in the house was burned. If it was two days later, her body might have been seen.

But she survived after all.

Bai Xiao didn't know what was supporting her. Maybe it was just like Lin Duoduo said, those who have struggled through disasters know better how to survive.

She was someone who struggled through the most difficult times. When the disaster struck, she was only in her twenties, in the prime of her youth.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." said Aunt Qian.

"We're just trying to survive." Bai Xiao said.

Although the gun would almost be left to Lin Duoduo after her death, Bai Xiao still didn't want her to die like this.

It is not easy for every survivor in the ruins to survive to this day.

The thick snow needed to be cleared, and the simple houses would be crushed. The shed was also a little crooked and looked like it would collapse soon. Bai Xiao cleared the snow on top and reinforced it.

The snow on the roof also had to be cleared away. Bai Xiao had never seen such heavy snow. He and Lin Duoduo wrapped themselves tightly and were busy in the yard.

The sky had not cleared up yet and he didn't know if it would continue to snow. He didn't dare to delay and tried his best to clean the place where they lived while the wind and snow stopped.

"Have you ever seen such heavy snow?" Bai Xiao asked.

"No." Lin Duoduo said.

"It seems that you, a barbarian who grew up in the last days, have not seen everything."

"You are a barbarian, you are a zombie."

Lin Duoduo was covered tightly with the scarf covering most of her face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and occasionally a trace of heat coming out from her mouth.

Bai Xiao was the same. Wearing a thick hat, when he couldn't stand the cold anymore, he would go to warm himself by the fire for a while.

"With such heavy snow, I hope all the infected animals and mice will freeze to death." Lin Duoduo looked forward to it.

"It's unlikely. There are sewers in the city. I dare not imagine what the sewers look like now." Bai Xiao said.

The city's extensive drainage system is buried deep underground. So many years have passed since the zombie outbreak.

Sometimes Bai Xiao feels that it is normal for cities to be abandoned, and anything that comes out of the sewers is a threat.

Lin Duoduo thought about it for a moment and kept silent. The city was dangerous, but the obvious danger was not so serious.

The invisible danger deep underground is the deadly one.

"At least the obvious danger has decreased." After a moment, Bai Xiao became optimistic.

He remembered the dangers he had encountered on the road. At least, it would be difficult to survive the group of monsters that used the town as their lair. Even if they did, their numbers would be greatly reduced.

I just don't know how widespread and how large the snow is.

The distant mountains were covered in white and turned into snow-capped mountains. The other side of the hillside was a glaring white. This was a scene enough to make the survivors in the ruins despair. Without sufficient reserves, it would be difficult to find resources from the snow-covered land.

Bai Xiao was glad that he had saved enough food before the snow and hunted the wolves.

A broom cannot clear such thick snow, so you have to use a shovel and take your time.

They could only clear out the living area, as they didn't know when the thick snow outside would melt.

"Do you think there will be rabbits on the snow?" Bai Xiao suddenly asked.

"It's too thick, no."

When Lin Duoduo was standing on the roof sweeping the snow, she also looked at the scene in the distance.

It took two days to clear the snow in the living area. Fortunately, it didn't snow any more, as the blizzard was already heavy enough.

Even after the snow stopped, it was still very cold. Winter was very long, and Bai Xiao was already looking forward to the arrival of spring. It was already evening when he finished clearing the snow in the other yard. After heating up water by the stove, Lin Duoduo poured two basins of water for the Zombie King to scald his feet.

In order to relax his muscles and joints, the Zombie King requested that the water temperature be a little higher. Lin Duoduo was afraid that he would be scalded, so she kept asking if he was done.

"OK OK."

Bai Xiao finally called for a stop, and the human breathed a sigh of relief.

It's very tiring and cold after a day. Soaking your feet in hot water in winter is not only comfortable but also can relieve fatigue.

In the house, Lin Duoduo always wanted to use the zombies to keep warm, and would glance at his belly from time to time.

"Is it cold?"

"It's okay." Lin Duoduo said, "It's just warm and comfortable."

"Then you step on it." Bai Xiao said.

Lin Duoduo wished she could keep her feet in the zombie king's arms for 24 hours a day for continuous heating. The zombie's body was really hot.

The feet that had been scalded by hot water were very soft and warm. Bai Xiao held his feet under his clothes and sat by the fire with his eyes closed to rest.

It would be nice to have a fireplace... but that wouldn't be good because it wouldn't be convenient for heating water.

"Is this how Ximen Qing portrayed Pan Jinlian?" Lin Duoduo suddenly asked.

Bai Xiao was in a trance for a moment, opened his eyes and was silent for a moment, "If you are uneducated, don't talk."

"You haven't finished yet."

At the beginning, only half of the story was told before the Zombie King left to look for a shelter in the distance whose existence was unknown.

If she had a wish before she died, one of Lin Duoduo's wishes would be to listen to the Zombie King tell the whole story.

Bai Xiao was silent for a while, then said, "It feels weird for a zombie to pinch a human's feet and tell her about Pan Jinlian."

"is it?"

"Why don't you tell me a different story? Let me think about it..."

"No, I don't like listening halfway." Lin Duoduo said.

"Even if you listen to the whole thing, you only hear half of it. What I tell you is the edited version."

“Why cut it?”

"Because it is too dark for both zombies and humans. It is not suitable for a warrior of light." Bai Xiao made up a story.

He had not expected at first that this human would never forget it. Perhaps it was because there was a lack of entertainment, and when he suddenly heard a new story, it was like when he was a child listening to "Ghost Blows Out the Light" on the radio. He felt anxious and kept thinking about it.

This was a major mistake.

The Zombie King has always been a majestic image. If one day Lin Duoduo reaches the safe zone and excitedly shares the story of Pan Jinlian with her companions when she is bored, her image may collapse after she learns the truth.

Lin Duoduo looked at Bai Xiao suspiciously. She suspected that this zombie was not very smart and had forgotten the follow-up and only remembered the first half.

"Okay, I need to rest for a while." Bai Xiao used an escape tactic, closed his eyes and stopped moving.

After a while, Lin Duoduo asked, "You still pinch me when you fall asleep?"

Bai Xiao didn't move. In fact, he just felt like he was holding something and always wanted to touch it. The icy cold feeling and the scalded feet were two different sensations, and he didn't pay attention to it for a while.

"What do you think will happen if a human and a zombie meet?"

"Zombies eat humans." Lin Duoduo said.

"That's absolutely right. If you keep talking I'll eat you."
