This is apocalyptic

Chapter 214 213: Headache
The Zombie King smells the stench of human scavengers.

After all, the city is very big and there are many things left behind. Not only does he know that the city is good, but everyone knows that unless all the survivors die, there will always be someone to scavenge.

Only a few scattered scavengers would search through the cracks in the ruins, silently looking for some supplies left over from the past.

Living silently, dying silently.

"If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't make ends meet, few people would go into the city to scavenge in the winter." Lin Duoduo understood the situation of the ruins survivors because she was one of them. "Not only are the roads difficult to walk on, but they also have to fight the severe cold. The monsters in the city are also more ferocious. The sun rises late and the night falls early. There's not much safe time to explore, and it's easy for other scavengers to find you by following your footprints in the snow."

So she never went into the city in the winter. Even in the most difficult times, she would rather borrow a gun and take risks in the mountains than go scavenging.

Tricycles will slip on the ice, and the road will be blocked if the snow is heavy. It takes several times more effort to make a trip than usual. In the current environment, no one will clean the road and we can only wait for it to melt naturally.

"Could it be that the environment has changed now, so... winter is safer?" Bai Xiao looked up at the sky. Things are a little different now. The threats from the sky will be reduced in the cold winter.

Lin Duoduo thought about it and admitted, "That's possible."

"Don't worry, I'm sure it's a scavenger." Bai Xiao knew what she meant just now. She was reminding him that there were very few scavengers out in the winter, and it could be someone else.

It is easy to identify scavengers. They are just trying to survive and can't make any big noise.

"The zombies and monsters in the city are a cover for those who are scattered, and a hindrance for those who are gathered together."

The two walked back downstairs while talking.

Theoretically, the environment here is more suitable for survival than Linchuan. After all, there are no mountains and no forest parks. Lin Duoduo couldn't see any signs of other living people before because the situation there was getting worse and worse.

When the zombies were rampant at the beginning, perhaps living off the land was a good choice, but over a long period of time, it deteriorated faster than other places. Lin Huayou left too early, otherwise Bai Xiao suspected that the man would have chosen to move with Lin Duoduo a few years ago.

"I actually like winter a little bit." Lin Duoduo rubbed her hands, entered the corridor, and closed the iron door behind her to keep the cold wind outside.

Then walk up the dim stairs with the zombies.

The zombie took big steps, taking three steps at a time, and her small body had to hurry up to catch up with it.

So the zombie picked her up and carried her upstairs.

In the dim environment, Bai Xiao seemed to see her smile, but when he looked carefully, it was gone and she looked calm.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Duoduo wondered.

"Did you just snicker?"

"Why am I laughing?"

"Did you see it wrong?"

Bai Xiao glanced at her again, and seeing that she had a dull expression, he didn't say much.

When passing by the fourth floor, the neighbor was knocking on the door again. Lin Duoduo knocked on the door casually. The neighbor received the response and banged on the door even louder.

"Don't tease me."

Bai Xiao was helpless. It was terrifying to hear a knock on the door in such an empty building, but... teasing zombies was a very bad habit.

As we went up, the zombies on the fourth floor gradually quieted down.

He originally wanted to clean it up, but it was a nice experience to have neighbors greet him every time he went up and down the stairs. At least it was better than having it empty - if it was when he first came here, Bai Xiao would definitely not have kept it.

Later, he learned to appreciate solitude with this human, and also learned to get along with various monsters or zombies.

It seemed like an accident that he saw traces of scavengers on the outskirts this time. Bai Xiao went there again a few days later, but didn't see any new traces. He didn't know whether they were dead or had left.

As the days passed, when there was an occasional strong wind, the Zombie King would hide in the house, sit cross-legged on the sofa with humans, and concentrate on playing Gobang.

Bai Xiao originally thought that she didn't know Gobang, but he didn't expect that she knew how to play it. She had played it with her family when she was a child.

This thing doesn't require much technical content. Even civilized zombies will occasionally lose to barbaric humans. There are winners and losers.

If a zombie loses, he lowers his head and lets the human scratch his nose hard.

If humans lose, let the zombies hit them on the head.

The zombie bullets are very painful, so every bet is taken extremely seriously. The stakes are high enough to make people very focused, and once you focus, time will pass very quickly.

Occasionally take a sip of the red wine brought back from scavenging.

If humans accidentally drink too much, their heads will feel dizzy and their reactions will be slow, but their expressions will remain normal as usual. They just remain silent and show no signs of being drunk.

If he hadn't been slow to react and had his eyes fixed on the chessboard, the zombies wouldn't have noticed him.

Because of drinking, Lin Duoduo lost five games in a row. She couldn't stand it anymore and covered her head without saying a word. "Change the bet." She didn't want to be kicked out.

"No change." Bai Xiao said.

"Let me give you a lick." The human held out his arm.

"If you don't lick me, I'll flick you."

"Scrape your nose."

"No."

"You tell me, what should I change? Anyway, I can't let my head explode."

"Then turn around." said the zombie.

The human covered his head and turned around.

The zombie grabbed the strap of her bra, pulled it back, and then let go.

'Snapped! '

Lin Duoduo screamed and stared at the zombie with gritted teeth.

"Okay, no more playing!"

The zombie king threw the chess piece away and was about to stop the game, but the human held him tightly and wouldn't let him go, "Play one more game!"

As expected, we lost again.

"Turn around." the zombie said mercilessly.

"This time the bullet hit my head."

Lin Duoduo found the zombie's iron helmet and put it on. The zombie looked at her expressionlessly.

"You're cheating."

"It hurts so much!" Lin Duoduo protested. She was not as strong as him and it was unfair.

She was wearing an iron helmet, and her head was shaking so much that she looked like a fool.

The zombie king was amused by her, knocked casually, then stood up, went to the window, opened the window and looked, a gust of cold wind mixed with snow drifted in. The wind was blowing hard, whistling, and the zombies on the street were blown down.

——The zombies were blown by the north wind and couldn’t stand steadily. They fell down like wheat being cut.

Such strong winds were common only when Bai Xiao was a child. Later, due to urbanization, they became much less frequent, but now they have returned to the state he remembered.

Lin Duoduo also took off her iron helmet, picked up a telescope and looked into the distance.

"Can you still see clearly?" Bai Xiao felt that she just shook a little.

"I can see it clearly."

She rubbed her eyes, looked into the distance for a while, put down the telescope and sat back down.

She covered her legs with the wolf skin and stood there in a daze for a while, then patted her side and asked Bai Xiao to sit down.

As soon as the zombie sat down, she stuffed her legs into the zombie's clothes.

"It hurt so much just now, I have to make it up to you."

"Skills are inferior to people."

"I'm just not in good shape."

She muttered in a low voice, "How can humans lose to zombies? This doesn't make sense."

Because she was drunk, she covered herself with a piece of wolf skin and stuffed her feet into the zombie's arms. She listened to the whistling wind outside the window, as if she was back by the stove in the mountain village. After a while, she fell asleep in this comfortable warmth.

When I woke up again, it was pitch black. I raised my hand and touched the zombie's arm. I didn't know when I was put on the bed. It was already midnight.

Only the sound of the wind remains.

The human pulled the zombie's hand away, turned over, and shrank back towards the zombie.

Don’t drink so much. It gives me a headache.
