This is apocalyptic

Chapter 27: Non-Africans are of course despised
"Is there anything useful?" Bai Xiao asked.

"It depends on luck."

Lin Duoduo casually opened the cabinet in the living room. While Bai Xiao was staring at a few pieces of jewelry, she bent down under another large cabinet and took out a box. She opened it with a knife, and then was stunned, "Wow!"

"What?" Bai Xiao took a look.

"A whole box of wine!" Lin Duoduo took out a bottle, opened it and sniffed it. "It should be fine."

"Wine won't go bad, right?" Bai Xiao just thought she was an alcoholic, so happy, but then he remembered that white wine has many uses, not just drinking...

"It depends on your luck. Some wines can go bad."

Lin Duoduo had seen spoiled wine before. It became like water and did not become more mellow as time went by.

"Look again, this is a wealthy family." She urged.

The deserted ruins seemed like a treasure hunting ground.

But Bai Xiao’s luck was not very good. Lin Duoduo could easily find useful things, but he only found junk when he searched through all the boxes and cabinets.

After changing another door, Lin Duoduo frowned and stared at him, and said cautiously: "Why don't you stop first and let me open that cabinet."

"..."

Bai Xiao didn't expect that even if he turned into a zombie, people would still dislike his smelly hands.

"Let me see what you can come up with." Bai Xiao felt that it must not be his fault.

Lin Duoduo opened the cabinet, glanced at Bai Xiao, and took out a can of coffee.

"...This thing must have expired long ago." Bai Xiao said.

"is it?"

Lin Duoduo lowered her head and sniffed, "What a shame, how about I give it to you?"

"I don't want to." Bai Xiao refused.

Bai Xiao discovered that she mainly relied on smelling things to determine whether they were broken or not.

Looking at the can of coffee, Bai Xiao remembered that, in fact, the shelf life of many things is just the date set by the manufacturer. It does not mean that the food will go bad immediately after that time. Instead, after that time, whether it is spoiled or not, it is no longer the manufacturer's responsibility if there is any problem when eating it.

Some things can really be preserved for a very, very long time.

"If it's not a necessity, it's better not to eat it. What if you get sick and drool after eating it?" Bai Xiao said.

Lin Duoduo shrugged. "Maybe next time it will be a whole jar of honey... no, a whole box. Don't touch the cabinet. Move these to the room over there and wait to be transported to the car together."

The unscrupulous guy with dirty hands was driven away and was not allowed to touch the cabinet. Bai Xiao was still a little unconvinced, so he sneaked around the kitchen. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything.

"Where did you put the bottle of wine you opened?" he asked, turning around.

"You want to drink?"

"use."

"It's okay if you don't want to drink. It's in the corner over there." Lin Duoduo pointed.

Bai Xiao went over and picked it up. The alcohol was very strong. He looked at it and smelled it, then carefully opened the cloth wrapped around the wound on his arm, feeling a little hesitant.

Theoretically, white wine can also be used for disinfection and sterilization, but... the alcohol content is too low, and sometimes the effect is not very good. Moreover, it is an aged wine, so it is okay if it is used to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Everything is going well at the moment, and after some serious consideration, he decided to maintain the status quo.

"Why not?" Lin Duoduo saw him pick up the wine and put it down again.

"Try again in case the wound gets worse one day." Bai Xiao said.

"cautious."

Lin Duoduo expressed her approval.

Bai Xiao put down the bottle and went back to the room he had just started in. Lin Duoduo did not follow him but stayed in the next room. It was already getting late.

More than 20 days after the time travel, I was infected and turned into a zombie, picking up scraps with the surviving humans.

Bai Xiao sat on the balcony, looking at the darkening sky. The plants downstairs were lush and green, showing vigorous vitality among the steel and concrete buildings left by humans.

Lin Duoduo was very quiet. She was looking at the old zombie wandering in the bushes downstairs.

——Judging from the current situation, if nothing unexpected happens, in a few years, the monsters on this land will gradually turn into dry bones. Some will be cleaned up by scavengers, and some will die of old age. After all, even zombies are still flesh and blood, and they have been wandering for too long.

Nothing is truly immortal.

"I suddenly feel that everything is meaningless." Bai Xiao said across the balcony.

"What do you mean?" Lin Duoduo was resting on the balcony on the other side.

"After becoming a zombie, I have to pick up scraps with humans." Bai Xiao said.

"Don't you firmly believe that you are a human being?" Lin Duoduo said.

Bai Xiao was silent for a while, and said, "Let's say again, if you become infected, you have to pick up scraps with the survivors."

"We have to live," Lin Duoduo said, "At least we are still alive, aren't we?"

Bai Xiao held his helmet in silence. As the night deepened, he looked at the sparse stars in the distant sky and suddenly thought, it would be great if he could go back.

——If we have the chance to go back, everyone can play Resident Evil, which is super exciting.

Separated by a balcony, the two were silent.

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten to take off your helmet." Lin Duoduo suddenly said.

Bai Xiao looked at the helmet in his hand and said, "I took it off myself... The way you tied it wasn't very strong. I'll teach you how to tie it tomorrow."

Lin Duoduo remained silent.

After a long time, when Bai Xiao thought she was asleep, Lin Duoduo said, "My grandfather is a professor, my mother is a teacher, and my father is a doctor. They said I could have lived a good life - but disaster struck. They taught me enough, and they hope I can live on."

"Ok?"

"I can see that you are trying very hard to live, and so am I," said Lin Duoduo.

Bai Xiao sat against the wall. Along the way, Lin Duoduo was intentionally or unintentionally teaching him some scavenging skills.

He hadn't slept in a bed for a long time. Instead of going to the master bedroom, he went to another room next door, pulled off the sheets along with the dust, and slept on the bare mattress.

Outside is a city covered in green.

The day always comes quickly. I don’t know whether Lin Duoduo has gotten up or not. Bai Xiao is alone in the room, doing eye exercises and radio gymnastics for a while.

He didn't intend to train himself into a big muscular zombie, he just wanted to move his whole body to avoid limb stiffness caused by infection.

Maybe radio gymnastics is really effective. It was vigorously promoted for so many years. Not only students do it, but workers also have special time to exercise. It exercises the whole body and exercises balance. It can be said to be very comprehensive. Bai Xiao feels that he is not as stiff as when he was first infected, and his arms are twitching less.

"Duoduo, is Duoduo up yet?"

After the event, Bai Xiao stood on the balcony and shouted to the neighbors next door.

"Have you finished your exercise?" Lin Duoduo yawned with her hair loose, and appeared on the balcony, as if she was really a neighbor living here.

"Well... you should tie your hair up, put on a hat, and hold a gun. You will look more wild and vigorous."

Bai Xiao felt that Lin Duoduo like that could give people a sense of reliability in the apocalypse, instead of the lazy look she has now... It's hard to describe, and it's definitely not a reliable image.

Lin Duoduo scratched her hair and said, "I suddenly thought of something last night."

"what?"

"Will you age as fast as they do?"
