This is apocalyptic

Chapter 184 183: When I'm Not Here

The next day, the zombies went to explore the park. The park was far away from where they lived. It was deliberately chosen to be far away from there. Unlike the quiet and leisurely park before the apocalypse, the entire park was now almost covered with trees and was very lush.

For this purpose, the zombie put on an iron helmet, held the car door and the knife, hung the homemade gun around his waist, then went out and headed towards the park.

Before leaving, a few zombies followed him, like a few little followers.

Lin Duoduo was upstairs watching his figure disappear in the distance through a telescope, then she turned around and looked around.

It was only morning and the city seemed to be still asleep, or maybe it had never slept. No matter when you looked at it, the scenery was exactly the same, with zombies wandering in the streets and a few monsters passing by in the distance.

She wrapped herself up in clothes and stomped her feet around the house a few times. The temperature had been getting lower and lower in the past few days. Even if she stayed indoors, her hands and feet felt cold and she needed to get up and walk around from time to time.

In fact, she didn't want the zombies to run so far before the snow melted, but Bai Xiao said to check the situation first, and the presence of accumulated snow would help him find some traces.

It was just like she used to tie the zombies under the shed and patrol around the village with a gun, but now the zombies were more powerful, so she took over the patrolling task.

One chain is missing.

I don't know why, but Lin Duoduo always feels that it's imperfect without a chain, just like when she used a chain to raise the zombies -

At that time, she sat under the eaves and the zombie sat under the shed. After finishing their work in the evening, when she was fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan to enjoy the cool air, she looked at the iron chains on the zombie and occasionally thought, if the situation changed, it would be great if she was the one locked under the shed and the zombie could go out to work... In fact, she was just thinking casually because she wanted to be lazy and felt very tired.

Who would have thought it would come true later.

Maybe it's a problem left over from that time...

During the nearly one year that the zombies left to find shelter, she occasionally looked at the empty shed, thinking that the zombies would suddenly kick open the door and announce to her that everyone outside was dead and she was the only human left...

Bai Xiao was right, people who grew up in ruins are all sick.

Lin Duoduo pondered over it and finally confirmed this fact. In fact, she had known it for a long time. Before she picked up Bai Xiao, she was already tired of this damn life. The yard was overgrown with weeds and the vegetable garden was abandoned. She had just been deceiving herself and telling herself that she would live for a very long time.

Until that day on the road, when the zombie was infected by the big cat and didn't know whether it would die, it sang a song to her. She felt as if she was poked by something. At that time, she felt that the zombie really didn't want to die and wanted to live. It was also at that time that she suddenly wanted to live, to live with the zombies.

Listening to the howling cold wind outside the building, Lin Duoduo poured a cup of hot water on the table.

She sat on the sofa with wolf skin covering her legs, legs curled up, holding a piece of clothing in her hand and looking at it. Zombies' clothes need to be very large in size, and sometimes they can't be found, so she needs to use needle and thread to alter them.

Occasionally, when I felt cold, I would stand up and walk around, using a telescope to look out the window at the old zombies downstairs and the white snow in the distance, to see if a small black dot would appear there and then get closer.

When she felt hungry at noon, she scooped out some honey with a spoon and washed it down with water in a cup. It tasted sweet and warmed her body without making her feel so hungry. Staying indoors in winter consumed very little energy and only a little bit of food was enough to last her a day.

The sky outside was gloomy all day long, from dawn to dusk, without the slightest change. Time passed unknowingly, and when it was slightly dark, the Zombie King had not returned yet. She couldn't help but go up several floors and look around with a telescope, but still didn't see the figure.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and she became worried. She stood guard at the window with a rifle and looked at the old zombies on the street. They were both a protection and a restriction. Except for Bai Xiao, no one could easily enter or leave the community.

She was confident that there shouldn't be anything in the city that could threaten the Zombie King, but he hadn't come back yet so late...

As she waited, time passed by little by little. It was completely dark. At this time, there was some commotion on the street. She immediately raised her gun and looked outside. In the dim light reflected by the white snow, the familiar figure of the zombie king appeared and ran back from outside. Bai Xiao came into the house wrapped in the cold wind, holding a fat squirrel in his hand. He said a little embarrassedly: "I got lost. The city is shabby and there is snow everywhere. It looks the same everywhere. I almost couldn't find it. Otherwise, I should have come back in the afternoon."

"I thought you were blocked by something." Lin Duoduo knew that even if she encountered a group of monsters and couldn't defeat the zombie king, she could still run away and get away by simply going into a building. It was much safer in the city than going into the mountains before.

"That's good. Don't worry." Bai Xiao said.

“I’m worried.”

“…That’s fine.”

Bai Xiao took off his helmet and the hat underneath, took off his scarf, hung his coat on the rack at the entrance, and took Lin Duoduo upstairs.

"It's pretty nice over there. When spring comes, there will definitely be a lot of food in the park. It's better than I expected."

"Is it particularly far? How did you get lost?"

"It's too winding. After all, this is the city center with many tall buildings. I can't find the way after going around in circles."

For him, who calls himself a civilized zombie, getting lost in the city is too embarrassing.

The deserted city was not the same as before. There were many old zombies wandering on the streets, covering his traces. The streets were connected in all directions, and the dilapidated buildings were numerous and dense, winding and twisting.

"If you didn't hear any gunshots, there's no need to worry about you." Lin Duoduo held his hand. His originally warm and broad hand was now icy cold. After being outside for a whole day, the zombies could hardly bear it anymore.

She rubbed the zombie's hands.

The zombie said, "Luckily you didn't go out to look for me. If you got lost again and were chased by the old zombies and told which building you were hiding in, it would be troublesome."

Lin Duoduo said: "You can't get out even if you want to. There are so many zombies crowded outside. Who else can escape except you?"

"Too."

"They will protect me for you when you are not around," she said.

"It's worth my while to collect their bodies." Bai Xiao looked out the window with satisfaction. The night sky was dark and he could hear the occasional noises made by zombies on the street.

"Next time I'll take you with me to walk around the tall buildings outside and get familiar with the streets outside. I also need to get familiar with them, otherwise I'll get lost again one day. I need to master the terrain."

"That will only work when the weather warms up. I don't want to stay in a coffin in the dead of winter and be carried around by you."

As she spoke, she lit the stove and pulled the zombie's hand towards the fire. The heat from the stove dispelled the cold.

"That's a long time. Let them protect you first."

This weather is really hard to bear.
