This is apocalyptic

Chapter 228 Chapter 227: Scavengers

Some people leave traces when they leave, but some people leave nothing behind, cleanly and completely.

Lin Duoduo didn’t know how photos were made, she couldn’t do it, but that didn’t stop her from taking some paper and drawing one herself.

She had no talent for drawing, so it was just a crude stick figure, a small one with braided hair representing a human being, and a large human figure next to it.

This represents that humans and zombies live here.

The zombie's painting skills are pretty good, even though he hasn't touched it for a few years he still has some basic skills, but he didn't touch it, he just watched the humans hang up such childish paintings.

Lin Duoduo is becoming more and more like the person she was before the disaster. The wild girl from the mountain village has changed a lot under the influence of Bai Xiao.

That’s why you don’t have to carry a gun around with you and worry about your life every day.

She boiled the excess amaranth in water, hung it out to dry in the building, and stored it away after drying it into dried vegetables.

Poplar fluff was floating in the street, which was annoying, but fortunately there wasn't a lot of it. The locust trees on the old street were also in bloom.

There were bunches of small white flowers. Lin Duoduo didn't eat much of them. No matter how full she was, the other things plus some meat brought back by the zombies were enough for her. Most of the time, zombies ran out all day just to fill their stomachs. Raising a human being, as long as she could get a little bit through her fingers, would be enough for her to live.

But zombies like it. They dry it and put a handful of it in a cup to soak it. It can deceive their taste buds and also relieve the greasiness.

He once thought that this thing was good for zombies to eat, and he still thinks so now. Eating vegetarian food can suppress the instincts of the virus, so he took the humans and caught a large bag of it back.

The vegetation grew more and more luxuriant.

The zombie finally took off his precious sweater and kept it treasured.

Put on a cool big vest.

He stood in front of the mirror and struck a few bodybuilding poses. Maybe it was because he was used to it, but the zombie actually thought he looked pretty good.

Explore the city along the asphalt road, leading a group of zombies wandering around.

The sky is gloomy.

The houses in the old city are even more dilapidated. The walls of the houses with yards have collapsed due to the growing plants. But in such places you can often find things that are not found in the residential areas, and it is not surprising what was planted in the yards in the past.

There are still some electric poles left on the roadside, but the cables have long been broken. Bird nests can still be seen in some places, and there are layers of black branches, but they are also damaged.

The old town is almost disappearing. In another three to five years, it may be completely occupied by the surrounding grass and trees, with only lonely buildings standing here.

Two staggering zombies emerged from under the shadows of the trees, their clothes shredded into strips, revealing their withered and black torsos.

As Ge Xia came here, she saw many zombies lying on the roadside. She was growing up, and the zombies were dying. As long as she was careful about the monsters wandering in the city, she could go deeper into the city. Almost all the houses outside had been looted.

Or they were burned down by fires in previous years, so if you want to find more, you have to take the risk and keep moving forward.

The presence of zombies was actually a good thing, as it meant that there were no particularly powerful zombie-eating monsters staying here. If she didn't want to run into scavengers, she could only go to places that looked shabby, where she could more or less find something.

Water droplets were falling from the gloomy sky. This was really bad luck as the rain would hinder the search and the sound of rain would make the zombies on the street crazy.

Fortunately, it was a drizzling rain and the impact was not that great.

After she chopped down the two wandering zombies, their dried bodies no longer even bleed. She did not stop, but walked towards the widest street. If the rain got heavy, she could take shelter there and search for supplies. If the rain was not heavy, she could go deeper into the street.

Half of the houses on this street collapsed, with only a few shops left, and zombies crawling in the shops.

After dealing with the zombies with a knife, she searched the shop but found nothing useful. The place had been invaded by plants, and green grass was sprouting from the ground in the corner of the house.

Sitting at the door, looking at the drizzle outside, she didn't know what she was thinking.

The faint movement in the distance suddenly made Ge Xia alert. She pricked up her ears and tilted her head slightly. It seemed to be the movement of other scavengers. The sound came from another street. She clenched her knife and gradually frowned.

It sounded like a woman humming a song.

"Big head, big head, don't worry about the rain, others have umbrellas, you have a big head..."

This is a very strange thing. No one in the city would be so relaxed, and no one would make noise for no reason, which would attract monsters and zombies.

The strange stories she had heard occasionally when she was wandering in the past came to her mind. Ge Xia never believed them. Her knuckles turned white from the force of holding the knife. She squatted on the ground and looked out. When she looked out, she saw a woman sitting on the shoulders of a big zombie. The woman sat on its neck with her legs spread apart, being carried by the zombie, occasionally poking other rotten old zombies with a stick.

They suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"Someone."

The woman's eyes suddenly became sharp and swept across the street.

Ge Xia's breathing stopped and his blood almost froze. He lowered his head and shrank behind the door, unable to believe what he saw.

And pray that they don't find out about you.

But the footsteps were approaching.

Walking towards this side step by step from the other side of the street.

She didn't know what it was, was it a human or a zombie?

But Ge Xia had no doubt that the big zombie could easily twist her head off and throw it to the man on its back to play with.

The footsteps were still approaching.

She closed her eyes tightly, not daring to breathe, and listened to the footsteps coming to the door and then stopping.

At this moment, the fear in his heart reached its peak. Ge Xia prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, hoping that they would pass by and leave.

"Here?" a voice came from outside.

Hearing this, Ge Xia despaired.

My life is over!

She clenched the knife and rushed out, wanting to make a last gamble, no matter what it was. A hideous look appeared on her pale and desperate face. It was not her character to sit there and wait for death.

But as soon as he turned out of the door, he was faced with a black muzzle of a gun.

Ge Xia stopped moving.

Zombies are scary.

Guns are scary too.

When the gun appeared on the zombies' side, she no longer had the qualifications to make a final gamble.

"Scavengers?" she heard the woman with the gun say.

"Well, it looks like it."

"Kill her?"

"You are so cruel."

Listening to the conversation, Ge Xia raised his head and saw the woman lying on the zombie's back.

Ge Xia stared at her blankly. It was obvious that this was a human being, just like her.

No, it was different. It was the same woman as in the photos left in the ruins, clean and tidy, not skinny, and without the dull look in her eyes.

The woman knocked on the zombie's helmet, with the gun in her other hand still pointed at her.

On the misty street with drizzle.

Ge Xia's body trembled slightly, and he fell to his knees, resting his forehead on the rain-soaked ground.
