This is apocalyptic

Chapter 131: Curse

There was still hair on Uncle Cai’s mouth. It was a badger that Aunt Qian had caught earlier. She ate the meat and peeled off the bloody skin for Uncle Cai to chew on.

A man and a zombie live in this deep courtyard.

Lin Duoduo didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Aunt Qian seemed to be in better spirits.

But when she came to her senses, she found that she was the same.

——This past winter, I spent an ordinary but satisfying time snuggling with the zombies by the fire, keeping warm and chatting.

That was something that had never happened in the past. After she grew up, her father left and she had to take care of her sick mother. Every day she was either worrying about how to find more food or working. At that time, there was still hope in life, but after her mother left, it was gone.

The plants that were once buried by the snow broke out of the ground again, just like last year, except that there were fewer and fewer people in the apocalypse.

Lin Duoduo pinched the necklace and asked in a low voice: "Will the shelter clean up the zombies?"

"I don't know either," said Aunt Qian.

She probably knew what Lin Duoduo was asking.

Aunt Qian sipped the expired coffee and narrowed her eyes. Lin Duoduo found that her reaction was very similar to that of the Zombie King. It was a feeling of reminiscence...

It’s like remembering every little thing that happened before the disaster.

"It was so good back then." Aunt Qian said while looking at the distant mountains. She felt like she had died twenty-two years ago and was now just a living shell.

Lin Duoduo came down and picked a basket of elm seeds and took them home, then washed them clean.

The vegetable garden was lush and green. The Zombie King took good care of the vegetables. He even marked the strongest ones for seeds. He had planted flowers before, although they were not very good, but with the precautions written by Yu Ming, they managed to survive.

These are all the ones selected by the old otaku over the years. Those that did not pass the selection were planted to death by Yu Ming, or disappeared while being planted. In any case, in addition to the safe zone, the survivors in the ruins also left a few seeds.

Seeing the Zombie King sticking his butt out next to the vegetable patch, Lin Duoduo couldn't help but kick him with her toes because his butt was sticking out too straight.

"I'm catching bugs!"

Bai Xiao stretched out his hand to wave her away, holding a fat green worm between his fingers. It was still struggling. He looked at the side where Lin Duoduo was planting.

It seemed that when the snow melted and the weather became warmer, Lin Duoduo made a bet with him to see who would grow better.

"Do you have any shame?" Lin Duoduo looked surprised.

"What's wrong with me?" Bai Xiao said.

“You want to put bugs on my food?”

"I didn't think so. What kind of brain can have such a bad idea?" The Zombie King was even more surprised. What on earth was this damn woman thinking?

Seeing that he really didn't think about it, Lin Duoduo asked, "Are you afraid that the bugs on my side will crawl to your side?"

"It's a ghost." Bai Xiao was stunned.

Seeing Bai Xiao taking off his dirty clothes and throwing them aside after returning from the city, Lin Duoduo went over to pick them up and soaked them in a basin. The water in the basin soon became dirty. Most of it was dust collected in the city. It was not difficult to wash off. If you rub it with soapberry, it will have a fresh fragrance.

I had a lot of things to do when I came back from scavenging, and I had no time to read. Only when it got dark and I had a break could I take it out and read it, and it was the illustrated version.

As time went by, the Zombie King found that the way she looked at him became more and more strange.

Bai Xiao pretended not to see it, and when everything was fine, he pulled the cart to the outskirts of the village, demolished the courtyard wall there, pulled the bricks back, leveled the yard, and paved the yard with bricks.

This not only looks clean, but also has fewer bugs, and it won't be muddy after the rain, and you won't step in the mud. After a tiring day, take a shower at the water pressure well, and then make a cup of "milk powdered coffee" that has expired for 20 years. Sitting under the eaves and watching the yard getting better day by day, Bai Xiao enjoys this moment after sunset and before nightfall.

"If there are only zombies and no other infections, this kind of life is pretty good now."

Now he is slowly gaining meat, no longer looking like a skinny zombie, and is working very quickly.

A zombie enjoys remodeling his home.

He has already made a plan. When the time comes, he will fence off the outside. In the winter, he won't have to worry about anything jumping in and scratching the door in the middle of the night, nor will he have to worry about infected animals from the mountain running down and running around.

If a wild boar or something comes down from the mountain, let it taste the iron fist of the zombie king. Zombies are not vegetarians.

"You deleted a lot when you were telling the story." Lin Duoduo closed the book and glanced at him.

Holding a cup of powdered milk coffee, the Zombie King leaned against the wall and pretended to be dead. After waiting for a while, he noticed the sound of her cooking, and put the coffee to his mouth and took a sip.

The sun has set and the sky in the distance is gray.

It rained at night and lasted until morning. One third of the yard was paved with bricks. The rain made it much cleaner, and you could walk along the bricks without getting your shoes wet.

Lin Duoduo put on a raincoat, took a knife and went to the bamboo forest beside the mountain road to cut some bamboo poles, then stuck them in the vegetable field to build a rack.

Bai Xiao originally thought that there was no need to build a trellis when growing eggplants, but he felt heartbroken when he saw the seedlings being toppled over by the rain.

It hadn't rained so heavily before, and we hadn't taken these things into consideration. Wearing raincoats, Lin Duoduo and I were busy for a while. Farming is always a process from scratch. A rainstorm taught the zombies a lot.

Lin Duoduo was soaking wet and her hair stuck to her face. The rain was too heavy and the raincoat was not very effective in shielding her eyes.

After tidying up the shelves, she took off her raincoat and felt a little cold under the eaves. She wiped the water droplets on her head and neck, then turned around to see Bai Xiao still busy in the vegetable garden.

"what are you doing?"

"Let me tie it tighter." Bai Xiao was still reinforcing it in the rain.

“It’s easy to get sick when you’re caught in the rain.”

"Zombies don't get sick."

To be honest, Bai Xiao couldn't imagine what a sick zombie would look like, and Lin Duoduo couldn't imagine it either. Maybe just like he said, zombies wouldn't get sick.

After being caught in the rain, Duoduo felt a little stuffy in the nose, but the zombie king was still alive and kicking, as if zombies were immune to all diseases, which made the human a little envious.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Duoduo couldn't help but ask.

"No, high temperature solves everything."

Bai Xiao took out the thermometer and said, "If your temperature is high now, it means you have a fever and you are solving all the problems."

Sure enough, this human's body temperature was a little high, but compared to the zombies, it was still too low. Bai Xiao was not very worried. If a rain could take this human's life, she would not be able to live that long.

"This shouldn't happen. You've been exercising, so why do you still get sick so easily?"

"Do you think I'm a zombie?" she said unhappily.

"This is a curse, and that book is a cursed book. You should give it to me. I am not afraid of the curse." Seeing Lin Duoduo pick up the book, Bai Xiao couldn't help but bewitch her.

"Shame on you." Lin Duoduo said.
