This is apocalyptic

Chapter 97 096: You Lied

The time when Lin Duoduo had seen the most people was probably when this village was at its busiest when she was a child. She believed that the shelter was a large group of people helping each other to survive, just like this village, and the zombie king could disguise himself.

"There are a lot of people there, and there is a very complete medical examination process. There are a lot of people, much more than the houses in this village. It is a remaining civilization, not a settlement."

"So many people?" Lin Duoduo fantasized.

"Yes, only if there are enough people can we survive and continue."

"Have you looked inside? Are they afraid of you?"

"I didn't go in, for fear of causing misunderstanding."

While talking, Lin Duoduo was cooking. She pried open the can that Bai Xiao threw over yesterday and heated it up. She put a handful of wild vegetables and some lumps made of semolina in the pot.

She was wearing long sleeves and her hair was not as short as when she left; she hadn't had a haircut in a long time.

Bai Xiao realized that the human being he occasionally thought of while on the road was in the image of a girl, and Lin Duoduo had already passed her twentieth birthday. She was born in the year of the disaster and is now twenty-one years old. She is no longer a girl. The doomsday environment has made her mature and she can catch a zombie on a tricycle by herself.

The can of food was heated up. Lin Duoduo picked it up with a cloth pad. She glanced at the zombies on the wall and asked in surprise, "Have you learned not to eat outside?"

"I've learned to live with hunger." Bai Xiao jumped down and said.

Lin Duoduo smelled the aroma of the can and her mouth couldn't help but drool. She picked up a piece of meat and handed it to Bai Xiao.

"I've eaten a lot of them, and I brought them for you to try." Bai Xiao said.

"Where did you find it?"

"It's far away... I can't bring too much. There's a room full of this."

"Then why did you become like this?"

Lin Duoduo expressed her doubts. She held a piece of meat in front of him and shook it. She could clearly see his throat rolling. "You are drooling and you are still lying to me. Eat it."

"Is it possible that you are a human? Even if you have nothing in your hands, I will have the same reaction?" Bai Xiao said, and subconsciously glanced at her chest. Lin Duoduo was no longer wearing the same clothes as yesterday. It was soaked yesterday and she was very embarrassed.

Lin Duoduo was still holding the piece of meat she had taken out of the can, staring at the Zombie King.

A small box of canned food was eventually shared by humans and zombies. They hid in this small courtyard and ate the food with great satisfaction, mixing it with wild vegetables and dumpling soup.

When Bai Xiao was alone in the cellar, he was just trying to maintain his strength and fill his stomach. Now, seeing Lin Duoduo flushing the can with boiling water, the meaning of food returned to him.

"Where did you find this fork?" Lin Duoduo saw the equipment that Bai Xiao brought back.

"That uncle gave it to me. It's very useful. It can be used to stab fish and animals. It's better than a knife."

"Did you encounter any bad guys when you went out?"

"There are some...but I look scary, so they don't dare to do anything to me. Others are wary of me." Bai Xiao said.

"Was there any murder?"

"...No, we beat them up and let them go, warning them not to do bad things." Bai Xiao said.

"You lied." Lin Duoduo stared into his eyes.

"I taught them a lesson." Bai Xiao didn't believe that she could see anything from his zombie eyes.

It was strange that this human had a unique alertness, as if he could see through the lies of the zombie king. Bai Xiao remembered that there had been similar times before he went out. Lin Duoduo was certain that he was lying, and she didn't know how she saw it. Lin Duoduo looked at his calm expression and looked away, "Look at what you wrote in your notebook. There are other survivors on the road."

"Well, the situation outside... is more complicated than I thought before I went out." Bai Xiao said.

"Fortunately, I didn't take Aunt Qian to Chenjiabao. Were you bitten by those bats?" Lin Duoduo lifted the clothes on his belly to take a look.

"Your action is very offensive. I'm a zombie." Bai Xiao straightened the hem of his clothes again. "The wound from the bat bite will heal in a few days, but if it were you, I'd probably get infected. They shouldn't appear when it's so cold."

"Really?" Lin Duoduo's gaze shifted elsewhere.

Bai Xiao felt uneasy when she looked at him. He frowned and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Is there?" Lin Duoduo acted as if nothing had happened. She always wanted to lift up the zombie's clothes to see if there was a big hole or any other wound on his body. Now Bai Xiao looked too much like a zombie, and she felt a little uneasy.

After finishing the meal and cleaning up everything, Lin Duoduo collected the dried helmet and clothes and gave them to Bai Xiao.

"I moved back a lot of things from the neighboring village, and I also saw the old zombie you locked up in the yard. I can help sometimes on Friday." Lin Duoduo said.

"How did you get it to help?"

"Fill the basket and bring it back, then poke it over with a stick and the contents will roll out, and then you can lead it out."

"You are the one causing trouble for others."

"Erdan is gone. He fell in the ditch in the field over there." Lin Duoduo said.

Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked towards the door. All the zombies wandering outside will have this day.

He looked at the lonely old house in the distance. That was Aunt Qian's home.

"You can go to the safe zone, but Aunt Qian probably can't hold on." Bai Xiao said. Aunt Qian is old and has no way to reach the safe zone. She can't carry so many supplies. There are many difficulties on the road. She can only stay here until she dies.

Aunt Qian didn't want to leave either.

Lin Duoduo looked at him and wanted to touch the zombie's skinny face, but she did not move. She just pinched the corner of his clothes. She remembered that Bai Xiao said that if she wanted to live well, he would find shelter and rescue.

"how about you?"

"I'll be back." Bai Xiao said, "You have a winter to prepare."

By nailing a wooden box, Lin Duoduo can hide in it when encountering bats or other dangers. As long as she reaches the safe area, no matter whether it is an underground shelter or something else, she can live for many years.

We can't set out now. If we wait until the cold winter, we will starve to death even if we don't freeze to death on the road. It will be difficult to find food under the heavy snow, and the road will be difficult to walk on. The heavy snow will block everything.

I was unwilling to give up without finding a shelter, and when I finally found one, it was so far away.

Lin Duoduo looked at the Zombie King without saying anything, but turned around and pinched the persimmons in the yard. She had to pinch them every once in a while when drying the persimmons, but the zombies didn't want to touch the food, so she had to do it herself.

Bai Xiao went out and saw Friday outside. He went over and patted it on the shoulder, then went to see Uncle Cai. The old zombie was staggering even more.

There were several old houses in the village that had collapsed and were in disrepair. He went to the river, where the reeds were dense and swaying in the wind. He squatted by the river for a while, looking at the gurgling river water.

After a while, he stood up and followed his memory to a remote corner of the village, where there was a dangerous zombie, but not as old as Uncle Cai and the others.
