This is apocalyptic

Chapter 254: 253: Terrible

The buckwheat has produced seeds. These are the seeds that Yu Ming gave me. They have grown in a large area in the community and look very pleasing to the eye.

There was not enough rain, but under the care of Lin Duoduo and Ge Xia, the growth was not too bad.

Bai Xiao didn't know why Yu Ming didn't grow wheat. It might be because of its short growth cycle and low soil requirements. After all, when Yu Ming first settled down, zombies were still rampant and he had no way to go out to farm, so he could only have such a large yard.

In an environment where accidents can happen at any time, the old otaku has his own set of experiences, and he even lives better than Aunt Qian and Lin Duoduo. He is the best loner Bai Xiao has ever seen outside of the settlement.

Looking into the distance, Bai Xiao missed the old otaku who believed in light for a while, wondering how his old friend was doing now.

No matter how far apart we are from each other, in today's ruined environment, once we separate from the people we know, we may never see them again in our lifetime.

"Are you thinking about that person?" Lin Duoduo asked, looking at his expression.

"Well, I'll introduce myself to you when I have the chance."

Bai Xiao had told her about the journey, and even the figurines placed by the window now were only placed there temporarily, to be brought to that distant friend when there is a chance.

After a brief conversation, the zombie waved his hand and took the two humans, big and small, with sickles to harvest. If they harvested now, they could plant another crop before winter.

This thing can grow in barren land and has strong adaptability.

Although Ge Xia is a small person, she is also a very important labor force. Bai Xiao always regards her as a junior high school student. Even though she looks thin due to malnutrition, she is at most high school age. In the past, she carried a schoolbag to school every day and played with her peers, but here, she is already a mature adult.

Even more capable than zombies.

She and Lin Duoduo bent over to harvest. The zombies required more effort, and being too strong was not a good thing at this time.

Seeing Bai Xiao squatting on the ground awkwardly, Lin Duoduo and Ge Xia found it funny when they looked back.

Zombies should be out there catching people to eat, not working with two humans.

Later, Bai Xiao sat on the ground, tied the plants they had cut into bundles, and piled them on an open space covered with a thick layer of cloth to dry.

It's a pity that Monday can't help. If it were in the mountain village, it could pull the millstone and help with the work.

There are few people, and more people are equivalent to half more of the labor force, and the effect is still very obvious.

As the sun sets, it is not as hot as at noon, but a little stuffy. The hot and humid weather is like a steamer. The two humans and the zombie sit in a row, gulping down water from bottles.

Every time this time comes, when the wind blows, I feel an inexplicable satisfaction watching the desolate land that was once covered with weeds turn into what it is today together with the zombies.

That started last winter with weeding and sawing trees, and things have changed little by little, and it's still going on now.

After drying, they have to thresh the grains. That's their job. When the Zombie King took Monday out, the two of them sat on small stools and hit them with sticks.

The buckwheat is harvested, and some is kept as seeds, and the rest is given to the zombies to grind into powder. Before that, it needs to be dried, the drier the better.

The harvested land was used to ignite some fertile grass, and then turned over by zombies, turning the wood ash underneath. Two humans combined could not match the zombies in this regard. Whenever a big zombie turned over the soil, Ge Xia's eyes were filled with envy.

She often thought that if she were also a zombie of that size, she probably wouldn't have lived such a hard life in the past, she wouldn't have been chased by others, and she would have been able to protect her sister, letting her sister wait at home, and then she would go out every day, and her sister would not have died.

But it was meaningless, she was not a zombie and not that big, her sister was taken away by a monster.

"Bang!" The outer wall of the building was peeling off again. The zombies took tools to knock it. For places that were out of reach, they tied hammers with ropes and smashed them down in advance. These old houses were not maintained and were aging, but the main structure was still intact.

The huge noise attracted the little monster to come out of its nest. It was not as thin as before. After the zombies took it seriously, they would go to the lake and river from time to time to catch some strange fish for it to eat. Although it was still skinny, it was in much better spirits.

It looked in the direction of the upstairs and barked twice, not barking, but roaring like a zombie.

Seeing Bai Xiao leaving upstairs, Ge Xia took a bag and went over to pick up the fallen concrete wall paint. He cleaned them up and threw them into the community's original garbage room.

"Be careful not to get hit by these things." Bai Xiao reminded.

"You should be more careful, there are more fragile ones out there." Lin Duoduo said in a hoarse voice.

This is the bad thing about the city. Not only is the drainage outdated, but the buildings are also outdated. Some zombies are directly smashed by concrete blocks, breaking their bones and tendons, and then attracting other zombies to gather around and wait to be smashed.

Lin Duoduo ate some chili peppers and her throat became hoarse and she felt a little irritated, so she drank some dandelion tea.

The urine is yellow.

The zombie said that she was simply suffering from a sore throat and it had nothing to do with the chili pepper. Lin Duoduo thought that the chili pepper poisoned her and made her mute, because she was fine before. It was just that after eating chili sauce for a few days, she suddenly became mute.

"Then why am I okay?" The zombies would never allow her to slander Chili like this.

"You're a zombie."

Her hoarse voice made her talk less. When she was not working, she just sat there, drinking water from a cup.

The weather was so hot that a pot of boiled water was not enough for three people to drink, especially the zombies, which were like buffaloes. Lin Duoduo had to change to a bigger pot. Every morning, she boiled a big pot of water and poured it into a bucket to let it dry. This would be enough for three people to drink for a day.

Ge Xia was a little worried about Lin Duoduo's voice, but she felt relieved when Lin Duoduo touched her hair.

The child looked at Lin Duoduo, wondering if Lin Duoduo was so beautiful because of the zombies.

One is very scary, the other is very beautiful.

But after watching it for a long time, the scary things are not so scary anymore, and the beautiful things are still beautiful.

Like a Bodhisattva.

When she and her sister were wandering, they followed the uncle here from afar. On the way, they stayed in a dilapidated temple, which contained many ferocious and terrifying gods, as well as some beautiful ones.

The uncle said that those were useless, the bald men all turned into zombies, and no God came to save them.

But there was an aunt in the team who still bowed devoutly and taught her and her sister who those Bodhisattvas were.

Later, the aunt left the team and lived in a village with other people. She didn't want to continue wandering and didn't want anyone to die anymore. Only the uncle was determined to lead them to find a shelter.

Now it seems that the uncle was right and the aunt was right too. The shelter exists and the Bodhisattva exists. The Bodhisattva is in the shelter.

While thinking about it, Ge Xia took two sips from the water bottle, and tilted his head to see the monster pinching the god's feet.
