This is apocalyptic

Chapter 13: The meat is not tasty

Lin Duoduo looked at Bai Xiao curiously as he squatted in front of the basin without moving.

This zombie… not only drooled at her, but also at its reflection—she saw a wisp of transparent silk thread hanging down, which was really disgusting.

too weird.

"Do you want to eat yourself?" Lin Duoduo asked suspiciously.

Bai Xiao wiped his saliva, shook his head and lifted the bandage on his arm.

The corpse spots did not expand any further, and the wounds remained the same. He retained some of the characteristics and habits of a zombie, but he could also control himself.

Lin Duoduo retracted her gaze, assembled the gun, held it in her hand, closed her left eye, and aimed at the gate.

Then she went back to the house and didn't come out for a long time.

Bai Xiao lay on the edge of the shed, squinting at the sky. The sun had just risen and was not yet too hot.

He didn't want to think too much, and didn't want to think too much. He just wanted to lie there. The sky was white and empty, without the blue sky and white clouds that people often talked about. He lay there for a long time, motionless.

I suddenly came to this apocalypse and was bitten by zombies. What can I do?

I don’t know how long I lay there when suddenly someone knocked on the door, two knocks, three knocks.

Bai Xiao turned his head to look and was stunned for a moment.

Lin Duoduo came out of the house, holding a gun and cautiously approached the wall. She half-crouched, made a quiet gesture to Bai Xiao, and asked in a low voice: "Who?"

"Girl, it's me." A voice came from outside.

Lin Duoduo relaxed a little, went to the door, opened a small hole that could be moved, and looked outside. Just as she was about to open the door, she paused and remembered something. She turned around and looked around, then quickly walked back, took down the sheet barrier that she had set up in the yard when she took a shower last night, threw it to Bai Xiao, and made a gesture.

Bai Xiao thought about it, took the bed sheet, lay down against the wall and covered himself up, hiding himself like a corpse, motionless.

"coming."

Lin Duoduo responded and opened the door. Bai Xiao lay down and looked through the gap.

Two people were standing at the door talking. I couldn't hear clearly, but I could roughly tell from the voice just now that it was a woman.

After a while, Lin Duoduo went back to the house, walked out to the door again, and exchanged a few words with the person outside. The door was locked, and Lin Duoduo came back holding a large piece of bloody meat.

"Come out."

Lin Duoduo said to Bai Xiao as she placed the meat on the stone slab, pressed down the wooden pole of the well, and let the water flow to rinse it.

Bai Xiao was restless, staring at the big piece of meat.

"Want to eat a piece?" Lin Duoduo asked, turning around.

Bai Xiao shook his head and asked, "Who?"

"Aunt Qian, she lives on the mountain over there, not far away." Lin Duoduo felt a little guilty, and said while washing the meat: "Last time I went to the city to scavenge, she asked me to find something, but I didn't expect to run into you as soon as I got there, and I came back without finding anything... Next time, she's a little old and it's not easy for her to go so far, so usually I bring her something I see when I go."

Bai Xiao stared blankly at the huge piece of meat, unable to react to Lin Duoduo's words.

"Luckily a deer crashed near her yard, and she sent me a piece. You really don't want to eat it?" She turned around when she said the last sentence.

Zombies are generally not interested in animals that are infected with the same disease, but if it is a bloody corpse, it will still pounce on it. Bai Xiao restrained his impulse, which is the devil. Unsure whether meat would make the virus worse, he preferred to eat vegetarian food.

"If the mutated animals are cooked thoroughly, it's fine for humans to eat them. I think the same goes for you... If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it." Lin Duoduo took the brush and brushed the piece of meat vigorously.

In fact, the meat of this wild animal is not delicious. Only the small ones can be barely chewed. This piece of meat is very tough. Even if it is cooked very well, it can only be used as jerky, cut into small pieces and mixed with porridge, or eaten directly with a knife.

But it’s better than eating vegetables every day.

"Aunt Qian." Bai Xiao thought she was the only one living alone, but he didn't expect there were other survivors.

And it’s mutual help.

Lin Duoduo set up a big pot, cut the meat into pieces and started cooking it, looking very experienced.

"Aunt Qian is a very good person. When Uncle Cai was still around, every time my dad went to the city..."

As she was talking, she stopped and stared at the flames in a daze. After a while, she smiled, supporting her chin with one hand and holding the fire poker in the other hand, poking the wood from time to time.

The flames were very strong and the pot was bubbling with steam. The meat took a long time to cook.

She glanced at Bai Xiao from the corner of her eyes and suddenly said, "Let me find you a pair of glasses."

Bai Xiao looked up.

Lin Duoduo had put down the fire stick and returned to the house, rummaging around for it. It was too hot in the summer and she would only use it occasionally, but it was not easy to find it now. She rummaged through the drawer for a long time and finally found it in the box next to it.

He went out and threw the sunglasses to Bai Xiao. Bai Xiao put them on and turned his head. Lin Duoduo praised him.

"That's much more normal now."

She wasn't afraid that Aunt Qian would see that she had created a zombie, but she just thought it was better to have less trouble than more.

Bai Xiao was very satisfied with this equipment. He hid the wound and corpse spots on his arm, put on sunglasses, and disguised himself as a normal human being. At least now, if he walked outside, he would not have to worry about being shot.

Looking at Lin Duoduo and the people who can send such a big piece of meat, we know that the people here have abundant martial virtues. People who don’t have abundant martial virtues may die at the beginning of the apocalypse and it is difficult for them to survive.

Lin Duoduo glanced at him wearing glasses, then took a big spoon and stirred the pot, then ran back to the room and took out a bag of salt. Bai Xiao looked around wearing sunglasses.

He saw a vegetable patch on the west side of the yard. He had never noticed it before because it was overgrown with weeds. He could only tell from the shape of the edges that it was originally a vegetable garden. He didn't know how long it had been abandoned.

Bai Xiao looked at Lin Duoduo, then at the vegetable garden. Perhaps there was more than just her living in this yard in the past.

He sat there motionless, watching Lin Duoduo busying around. Disasters came, and those who survived were still trying to live.

Some things suddenly became very distant: coffee, colleagues, plans, take-out… as well as the hustle and bustle of the city, the busy streets and shopping malls, all seemed to have disappeared, as if they were things of the previous life.

Bai Xiao's fingers moved slightly, trying hard to catch the feeling of working overtime in front of the computer in the past. It was like he had a dream and suddenly woke up. He just dozed off while working.

But that was ultimately just his fantasy, a luxury. Lin Duoduo was busy right in front of him, cooking the meat in the pot. There was a black mark on her face. She rolled up her sleeves to wipe it, and the mark became bigger.

The fire was very hot and sweat was pouring out. Lin Duoduo raised her sleeve to wipe it again, poked the ground with the fire stick, hummed softly, and watched the meat cooking in the pot.

"Don't drool if you don't want to eat." Lin Duoduo said.

She got up and went to find a fan; it was getting hotter.
