This is apocalyptic

Chapter 257: Silence

The zombies are dying. What will the city look like when all the zombies in it are dead?
Maybe someone has thought about it, but no one has seen it.

A fallen zombie can still move around, so it cannot be considered dead. It can remain like this for half a day to several days before it dies completely.

The Zombie King gave it a ride and buried it.

Watching the tall zombie burying the old zombie in the soil, Ge Xia felt a sense of sadness for no reason.

The autumn wind rustled.

"Will he die in the future?" Ge Xia asked Lin Duoduo.

"will not."

Lin Duoduo peeled the pomegranate and put the seeds into the bowl. "He lived longer than us. Even if we die, he can live for many more years."

Many, many years.

The fact is just as she said. She and Ge Xia have accumulated many minor illnesses in these years of the apocalypse. Although she looks healthy, her knees hurt a little when the autumn rain comes, while the zombies are still strong.

The rain made the weather much cooler. Lin Duoduo put on her coat and went to the rooftop with Ge Xia to fill the water tank with water. When it stops raining in winter, they will have to rely on the zombies to fetch water.

Autumn is like this, with each rain bringing a chill. The long summer takes up most of the early autumn, and by the time we realize it is coming, it is almost over.

There was frost on the ground, a layer of white, and there was a thin mist when you exhale. Lin Duoduo found the big sweater he knitted for the zombies last year. While she and Ge Xia were still wearing coats, he had already put on the sweater.

“It’s really warm.”

The zombie happily smoothed out its wrinkles and walked twice in front of Lin Duoduo.

"Last year's clothes can still be worn this year. You haven't gained weight." Lin Duoduo said.

“This is called being strong.”

There was a thick fog in the city. One could only hear the occasional cries of zombies but could not see their figures. The old zombies walked silently, so no scavengers would take the risk at this time.

The little monster was also shivering with cold. The heavy fog seemed to scare it so much that it hid in its nest and didn't want to come out. But the nest was just a small shed. When there was frost in the morning, there was frost on its eyebrows.

When they came last year, there were only Zombie and Lin Duoduo. Now there are several more members. Bai Xiao put some blankets in its nest to make it more comfortable.

Bai Xiao is also a scavenger, a scavenger in the city. The resources in the city center are undoubtedly much more than those in the outskirts that many people have plundered.

While brushing my teeth in the morning, I took the old and fallen toothbrush bristles out of my mouth and made a few "spit" sounds. Then I looked to the other side and saw Lin Duoduo and Ge Xia squatting on the ground, with water in their mouths, also making "spit" sounds.

There were three mouthwash cups on the table next to him, one for the zombies and two for humans, in red, blue and yellow. He wanted to change Ge Xia's to a green one so that it would look like a traffic light, but he couldn't find a green one of the same style.

Winter is a season that Ge Xia fears very much, especially snowy days, which mean a lack of food and unbearable cold.

Bugs are also hard to find.

As soon as the sun came out, the fog dissipated, but the haze in her heart could not be dispelled. She walked in the vegetable field, trying to find something to do, but couldn't find one.

Lin Duoduo took out the quilt and put it out to dry, and Ge Xia also helped. In fact, there was no need for such a thick quilt now, but the zombies would feel cold. It was not the kind that they were afraid of freezing to death, but they just felt uncomfortable, probably because of their high body temperature.

After the quilt was exposed to the sun, it became soft and fluffy, and it didn't feel stuffy at all when she covered herself with it. Lin Duoduo was sweating from the heat, and she felt better when she stretched out her legs at night. Then she stopped sharing a quilt with the zombie.

"Don't beg me for a few more days."

The zombie wrapped himself up like a big caterpillar. He knew that Lin Duoduo couldn't stand the cold. When the temperature continued to drop, she would be unable to stand it and would crawl over and lie on the zombie, and she couldn't be pushed away. Winter is a relatively safe season. The season that makes Ge Xia feel uneasy, for Lin Duoduo, there are not so many dangers from the sky, and there are not many poisonous insects. Since the zombies appeared, winter is not so difficult to endure.

When she saw Ge Xia's helpless look, she understood after thinking about it. After all, even she still felt scared when she recalled the winters before the zombies appeared.

It hasn't really been winter yet, there's just a heavy fog. In Ge Xia's opinion, it's no different from the beginning of winter. Based on her experience, it will only get more and more difficult day by day.

The figure of the Zombie King looked particularly terrifying in the fog. The whole city was shrouded in a hazy white. The little monsters huddled in their dens and refused to come out. Monday was taken away by the Zombie King, leaving only two women here. They couldn't see the situation in the distance even with a telescope.

After going out a few times, Bai Xiao no longer went out in foggy days, mainly to guard against some unpredictable dangers. Although the end of the world is approaching, he still doesn't want any accidents to happen in the last time.

If there is no vaccine, it would probably be the craziest time in the safe zone.

This doomsday doesn't just target the ruins, the safe zones are also not having a good time.

He was on guard and also expectant.

If everything is silent, welcoming the end of the world quietly would be the worst thing.

Any change is good, until the end.

But the silence was a little eerie, like a dead silent land. He had the same illusion as Lin Duoduo had at the beginning, feeling that everyone outside seemed to be dead.

Every month or so, Bai Xiao would go out for a walk, visit the surrounding towns and the settlement in the distance. The end of the world was approaching, this was the final time, and everyone was quietly waiting to die.

The weeds on the road gradually turned yellow and lost their vitality.

The scavengers also disappeared, huddled in small enclosed areas during the winter and no longer easily running far.

"No changes?" Lin Duoduo asked when he came back.

"No."

"That means you are wrong." Lin Duoduo smiled. She raised her eyebrows while lying on the sofa. She was not surprised by this result. The so-called vaccine was just a tiny hope. Even if it really existed, it would not be as the zombies said that the safe zone would rush to recapture the ruins and bring rescue.

"Maybe."

"Do you want to catch the big turtle in the ditch?" Lin Duoduo was also very greedy for the turtle. Since time was running out, she also wanted to taste it.

Bai Xiao spread out the map, which had a lot of reserve food marked on it. They were originally prepared to be eaten in times of distress, but time was running out, so it wasn't impossible to catch them and try them.

He could also try to grow stronger and see if he could turn into a world-destroying zombie king, the invincible super zombie sitting on the cold throne.

After all, it was because of all the overeating and drinking that he became what he is now.

"Let's go, take our guns and do it." Bai Xiao waved his hand.

Lin Duoduo jumped up from the sofa and adjusted her gun. This rifle might be older than her and was very old.

Ge Xia was a little surprised to see the zombie taking Lin Duoduo out.

"Let's go catch the monster and take good care of the house." Lin Duoduo said.

The monsters that the scavengers avoided had always been food reserves.
