This is apocalyptic

Chapter 12: A Different World
When did your mother leave?
Lin Duoduo closed her eyes and found that those memories were inexplicably blurred, as if they had happened a long time ago, or as if they had happened just a few days ago.

As life goes on day after day without any change, one's sense of time becomes dull. She can clearly remember the last time she ate locust flowers, which was last spring, but most of what happened between last spring and this spring are vague.

It was as if a few months were missing in the middle, or as if they were compressed, every day was similar, so the brain merged them.

She remembered that the winter was very cold, but she didn't remember how she survived the cold.

Before we knew it, it was dawn and the zombie was already restless early in the morning.

"Bai Xiao, what are you doing?" Lin Duoduo came out and found that he was not restless, but jumping around there. She didn't understand and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

She originally thought there was danger, just like how anxious Bai Xiao was when the zombies were outside the wall that day. She also thought his infection had worsened, and he suddenly lost consciousness and became as wild as a wild animal, but now he didn't look like that at all.

"exercise."

Bai Xiao stopped the radio gymnastics and looked at Lin Duoduo who came out in her clothes. The gun in her hand had just dropped.

"Safe." Bai Xiao said.

Lin Duoduo glanced at him.

"Radio gymnastics." Bai Xiao was a little surprised, "You don't know?"

Lin Duoduo shook her head: "I haven't seen it."

Bai Xiao was even more puzzled. If it was as he had speculated before, in the late 1970s and 1980s, radio gymnastics should have been very popular at that time. As a popular sport, it did not require any equipment and could be carried out in a limited space.

It is a very important way of keeping fit among the masses. There was even a scene where millions of people did radio gymnastics together.

"Now, what time?" Bai Xiao thought for a moment and asked, his expression becoming much more serious.

"About six o'clock." Lin Duoduo looked at the sky. The sun had not yet risen, so it might not be six o'clock yet.

Bai Xiao paused, "Which year?"

"Who knows."

Lin Duoduo returned to the house nonchalantly, put down her gun and changed her clothes. When she saw the family photos on the table, she paused. She suddenly remembered that a long time ago, her family members did use animals to record years. They said she was a dog, but that wasn't the case. It seemed that the year she was born was a dog.

But those memories were already too mixed up, and she didn't know what those dogs and sheep were like. If she encountered a mutant dog outside, she would just shoot it.

After getting dressed and going out, Bai Xiao stopped exercising and sat on the ground reading a book.

Bai Xiao found that he had actually overlooked the year of printing which was usually printed in the corner of the book. Perhaps the influence of the infection made him anxious to become normal, and thus he ignored this detail.

《百科知识全书》版次/2012年2月第1版，印次/2014年1月第6次印刷。

The printing time does not represent the current time. This book is very old and the paper has turned yellow. Bai Xiao was stunned for a long time. He looked at the tattered pedal tricycle in the yard and the water pressurized well that was hard to describe.

He remembered something more. When he was bitten by the zombie, there were scrapped cars parked all over the street. The cars were covered with thick dust, and weeds were sticking out of the windows.

Lin Duoduo pressed the wooden pole with her hand, and then water came out. She washed her face and didn't know what Bai Xiao was thinking.

"Amazing." Bai Xiao said.

This world is so strange.

"Yes, you are amazing." Lin Duoduo was squeezing the toothpaste, very carefully, not daring to squeeze too much, a little was enough.

Bai Xiao stopped talking. He was having trouble speaking fluently, and when he got anxious he couldn't speak clearly, which made him even more irritable.

Anyway, we will know when we recover. "Is exercise useful?"

After brushing her teeth, Lin Duoduo saw Bai Xiao still sitting there without moving. She thought for a moment and asked.

"it works."

Bai Xiao reacted, took off his braces and picked up the toothbrush. He is still undergoing treatment.

Stiff limbs, dull pain sensation, confused speech, increased aggression...

I also have the urge to drool over Lin Duoduo.

Lin Duoduo did not go out with the gun. She wanted to rest today. She would not really be idle during the rest. Instead, she sat on the doorstep, carefully wiped the gun with a piece of cloth, and checked the parts.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Bai Xiao lowering his head and sniffing at her arm. Bai Xiao had already changed out of his old ragged clothes and put on the ones Lin Duoduo brought back yesterday, which fit him fairly well.

"No smell, clean." Lin Duoduo didn't even raise her head.

"Myself." Bai Xiao said.

He didn't smell the clothes, but rather himself, to see if he would have the same rotten smell as other zombies after changing clothes. The result was optimistic, as he didn't smell anything.

I don’t know if the stench was caused by the infection or because the zombies were unclean and naturally stink after being kept for a long time. After taking a shower and changing clothes, Bai Xiao didn’t smell any strange odor on himself.

This also indirectly confirms that his infection is under control.

Bai Xiao looked at the wash basin, wondering whether he should take a look at his current appearance. He was afraid that his face had turned into a zombie, just like the movies he watched in his previous life, which was horrifying. Because he could see things blurry, his eyes might have changed.

After thinking for a long time, Bai Xiao went over, covered his face and lowered his head, slowly removed his hands, and revealed his chin bit by bit. His chin was still intact, but his lips were a little pale, probably because of his weak body. As he went up, Bai Xiao became more and more nervous.

"Are you sure you want to see it?" Lin Duoduo noticed him squatting there.

This question made Bai Xiao's heart sink. He felt that Lin Duoduo would not have such a bad taste - she didn't even have that kind of bad intention. She was just asking a simple question, which also contained good intentions.

"Of course."

You have to face it.

Bai Xiao let out a breath and revealed his eyes. His heart sank, but he also felt a little relieved. His mood became complicated and he didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

It was not as serious as he had imagined. In his mind, the zombies would have only the whites of their eyes rolled up and their eyeballs bulging out, which would be very scary even during the day.

Luckily it didn't turn out like that.

But it did have an effect after all. Bai Xiao looked at his reflection in the basin. The water was flickering, and his eyes were dull and frozen. There was no agility or vitality at all, just like the eyes of a dead person. The whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and his eyes looked red, even his pupils were faintly red.

"It's much better now. You kept rolling your eyes at me a few days ago and couldn't even speak. Now..." Lin Duoduo stopped talking while sitting on the doorstep and tilted her head.

It is already amazing that they can still speak after being infected. It is unrealistic to expect more.

Bai Xiao didn't say anything and looked down at the basin.

well.

It's time to do eye exercises.
