This is apocalyptic

Chapter 58 058: Zombies

The candle was blown out by a gust of wind, and the shed suddenly fell into darkness.

Bai Xiao couldn't see Lin Duoduo, he could only smell her fragrance, and his nose was extremely sensitive at this time.

Lin Duoduo stood there, silent for a moment, and said, "Did you swallow your saliva again?"

The infected in the dark always felt dangerous, but the zombie king's care for her when she was injured diluted the threat a lot, and she just took two steps back with the basin.

"No." Bai Xiao retorted immediately.

"If you can't help it one day, tell me and I will..."

"I don't eat foot skin." Bai Xiao said in advance.

"I can also give you the calluses on my hands to eat." Lin Duoduo scratched her palms.

"..."

Bai Xiao was a little hesitant for a moment, but he soon made up his mind.

Eating humans is a zombie's habit, and he is trying hard to resist this habit.

"I won't eat people, nor will I bite people. We can't start this kind of thing." Bai Xiao was determined.

"Besides eating humans, do you have any other wishes?" Lin Duoduo asked the Zombie King.

"Do you think you are a lamp spirit?"

Bai Xiao carried his helmet over the wall and went back to the next room. He hadn’t done any pull-ups today.

Lin Duoduo listened to the noise coming from next door and washed a few dates to eat. They were very sweet.

"Would you like to eat the dates you brought back?"

"Put it on the wall, I'll get it later." Bai Xiao said.

Lin Duoduo washed some more dates, placed them on the wall in the dark, looked at the zombie's strange movements, and then went back to the house to rest.

Sooner or later, that door frame will be collapsed by him.

the next day.

Bai Xiao brought two bamboo baskets, put Lin Duoduo's on his back as well, stacked them together, and headed towards the fields, sweeping the grass with the iron fork in his hand.

He felt like a badger looking for Runtu, and whenever he heard any movement in the bushes he would poke it.

If the hare is not clever, it will die on the spot.

Snakes and the like are just there to serve as a warning, they are not your enemies.

Holding the fork, he approached the deserted village again. The zombies were still locked in the yard and did not follow him like they did yesterday.

Walking on the small paths in the village, he always felt a little uncomfortable. Bai Xiao turned around, opened the courtyard gate from yesterday, and let the zombies out. Several zombies staggered and followed him, attracted by the noise.

I walked past each house one by one. Some courtyards even had cellars, but they were empty. The things that were once stored in them had long since dried up and rotted away, leaving only an old zombie hiding inside.

I don’t know if this zombie was infected when it hid in there, or if it was locked in there by the people who lived here before. When the cellar was opened, its skinny body couldn’t crawl out. It had lost its former strength and could only make meaningless screams.

If it wants to get out, it can only be carried out by someone. Bai Xiao is not so idle. He looked into the dim cellar and saw nothing else, so he closed it again. Bai Xiao stood up. The female zombie behind him was a little close. He threatened: "Don't get so close to me, or I'll push you in to keep it company!"

Turn around and go to the next yard.

There is an old swing here and a tricycle by the wall, but they have been rusted by wind and rain and can only be considered waste and can no longer be used.

When I entered the house, I saw many photos on the wall. It was a big family. There were more than 20 people crowded together in the group photo, men and women, young and old, but they were all gone now.

Bai Xiao was like a witness to the end of the world. When he saw the traces left by people in the past, he sometimes wondered what kind of family this was and how they lived before the disaster.

——This place is different from the city. In the city, there are scavengers visiting, but those steel and concrete buildings can still stand for many years even if no one maintains them and they are covered with plants.

The houses in these villages are gradually leaking and collapsing. The old houses left over from the past are prone to collapse, and the new houses built later will slowly become ruins.

Bai Xiao looked around, opened the closet, saw the coat inside, then took another look at his dirty clothes, took out one and put it on, it fit him fairly well.

When he opened the wardrobe on the other side, a skeleton fell out as he opened the door. It was a skeleton frame, the body was still in the wardrobe, only the skull fell out.

Bai Xiao had buried so many bones, both human and zombie. He was only slightly startled for a moment, then he picked it up, held the skull, and put it back.

The dry bones hidden in the closet were in a curled-up position, still maintaining the posture before death. They had been hiding in there until their death. It was unknown whether they committed suicide by hiding in there, or starved to death here.

He heard from Lin Duoduo that in the past, some people died of illness, some were bitten by zombies, and some just didn't want to live anymore and chose to die on their own.

In fact, a long time ago, this kind of depression was also a disease. Just as Lin Duoduo's father wrote in his notebook, before the food is consumed, what should be more worried about is the mental problem.

Bai Xiao looked at it for a moment, and when he was about to leave, he turned back to take it out, found a rusty shovel, dug a shallow hole in the yard, and then buried it.

There were a few novels in the room, so he put them in a basket and took them back to Lin Duoduo.

Leading a few old zombies wandering in the deserted village, Bai Xiao suddenly felt like he was really a zombie, wandering in the world like a ghost, unwilling to leave.

Seeing that the time was about right, he went back and picked a basket of dates. The tree was very big, and had grown luxuriantly after so many years.

After filling two baskets, one with dates and the other with messy things, Bai Xiao looked back at the zombies, picked out a stronger one, and carefully put the extra basket on its back.

The zombies roared in confusion. Bai Xiao locked the other zombies back into the yard, made a sound to lead the stronger old zombie away, and walked into the fields again.

In the setting sun, Lin Duoduo came outside with a slight limp and looked at the fields from afar. Two figures appeared at the edge of the field in the distance. She squinted her eyes and looked carefully.

Bai Xiao walked in front, holding an iron fork in his hand with a dead hare poking out of it. He just walked like that, and a zombie carrying a basket behind him was attracted by the blood flowing from the hare and staggered after him.

The Zombie King and his people are back.

This time he managed the time well. When he returned home, night was just about to fall. Bai Xiao pushed open Lin Duoduo's door.

Coming back from the dead silent village over there, Lin Duoduo saw clothes hanging in his yard. There were wild peppers in his yard, which was full of life, very different from the dead village over there.

It was as if he had suddenly returned to the human world, and following behind him was not only an old zombie, but also Lin Duoduo.

"Stay away, I'll take down its basket." Bai Xiao reminded. The attraction of wild rabbit blood was obviously not as great as Lin Duoduo's. This old zombie has been following Lin Duoduo since returning to the village.

"Am I the Zombie King or is she the Zombie King?"

He was very dissatisfied with this old zombie who had no eyesight. The zombie king needed a hare to make it follow, but Lin Duoduo made it rebel just by standing there.
