Chapter 45 Good Morning

Everything is in ruins and the ground is devastated, and there is no one to share my worries with.

I once thought that I might be the loneliest person in the world, but at this moment, I gently hugged Tongtong and finally felt relieved.

Even though I am slow-witted, I realized at this moment that I am no longer alone.

Even though the ground is covered with blood and corpses, compared to Tongtong in my arms, everything seems worth it.

Tongtong snuggled in my arms obediently, her little hands gently grasping the corner of my clothes. I put my arms around her shoulders, hugged her tightly, and put her little head against my chest.

Boom, boom, boom.

This is the sound of my heartbeat, neither fast nor slow, just the right pace, my favorite frequency.

I lowered my head slightly and gently sniffed her long hair. In this warm embrace, I sank into the peace of the moment.

Perhaps I was too tired, I actually fell into a deep sleep in this state, amidst the blood.

After a long dream, when I woke up, it was already noon.

I stood up gently, looked at Tongtong and me covered in blood, smiled bitterly with helplessness, but no longer felt depressed.

"Okay, no need to clean up this time."

The extent of the damage in the room was far beyond my tolerance. There was no need to clean it up anymore. I took Tongtong's little hand and went upstairs.

The room on the second floor is a spare room I reserved. The furniture and supplies were prepared early. The overall layout is almost the same as the room on the first floor, except that there is a thick layer of dust.

After a simple cleaning, with the help of Tongtong, I lifted the diesel generator up. After starting it, the room was successfully powered up.

After a busy period, I stood by the window and looked downstairs.

I saw my broken pickup truck parked in an open space on the square of the community.

It seems that Ling Feifei drove my broken pickup truck back to her base, and after gathering people, she drove this pickup truck back again.

Why is she so anxious? I think it has something to do with what I said that day. I told her that in five days, the zombies here will become dense again.

That's why Ling Feifei and the others were in a hurry to come and cause trouble for me.

However, this can be considered a good thing.

I stood in front of the window, pursed my lips and smiled secretly. I secretly turned my head and looked at Tongtong.

Tongtong was imitating what I did before, wiping the TV with a rag. She was like a little kid and loved TV very much.

Thanks to Ling Feifei and the others, I realized that Tongtong is no longer a zombie. She no longer has the instincts of a zombie. Instead, she is a living person who stays with me.

I turned and walked towards the sofa, slowly sitting down. Seeing this, Tongtong also walked over gently, sat next to me, and very consciously leaned her little head on my shoulder.

On the coffee table, there were some things I brought up from downstairs, among which the Walkman was the most conspicuous. I looked at the Walkman, slightly dazed.

It seems like I haven't listened to this Walkman for a long time.

As this thought flashed through my mind, I reached out and picked up the Walkman. The scene when I first met Tongtong flashed through my mind. I seemed to have used this thing to play a song.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly. I didn't draw the curtains like usual, and I also forgot to exercise.

Such good sunshine, wouldn’t it be a waste if we use it to do other things?

I gently held Tongtong's shoulders with one hand, and fiddled with the Walkman with the other, and spoke softly with a smile on my face.

"Tongtong, do you know?"

"I thought about it when I was still hung on the platform by the Corpse God Cult."

"Will I have to live like this for the rest of my life?"

"I was treated like an animal, my blood was taken, my flesh was cut, and I lived a life neither human nor ghost."

I know Tongtong naturally has no way of knowing, so this is just my soliloquy, but I still want to say it, to prove that I already have someone I can talk to.

The past that I have never told anyone and cannot tell anyone has been buried for too long, so I can’t wait to tell Tongtong all of this.

At least, that makes me feel better.

"At that time, those people from the Corpse God Cult almost convinced me."

"I am 'great', 'selfless', their 'savior', and their 'god'."

My vision became blurry and distracted, and my voice became vague.

"Actually, I know I'm not, but at that time, this was the only way I had to numb myself."

"I remember there was a girl who always stood aside and kept asking me questions."

"Don't you feel any pain?"

A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth and I shook my head slightly. I was so absent-minded that I didn't notice the sadness and pity in Tongtong's eyes.

I was like a piece of wood, just immersed in the memories of the past, and continued in a low voice.

"I was very impressed with the child. She was very smart and kind."

"Just by looking at it, it seemed as if he felt the same pain as me, with a look of pain on his face."

"I think...she might be the only person in that base who would sympathize with me."

"Sometimes, she would sit by with a tattered fairy tale book and tell me some fairy tales."

"Those stories were childish, but also beautiful. I felt that my pain was alleviated a little."

"Until one day, she didn't show up, and I could only wait for her."

"I waited and waited. I waited and waited."

"After waiting for a month, I finally saw her."

My expression suddenly became dull, my eyes were empty and lifeless, and my vision was slightly black, but I was still whispering.

"Only that day, she didn't hold her favorite fairy tale book, but a short knife and a bowl."

"She knelt in front of me and told me with tears streaming down her face."

"Her mother was ill, and everyone said that only my flesh and blood could cure her mother's illness."

"She said she didn't believe it, but she had no other choice."

"So, I watched her, my only friend, stab me in the chest with a dagger."

"As I screamed, they cut open my flesh bit by bit, and in the bloody mess, they took out my still-beating heart."

I laughed at myself, trying to hide my loneliness.

"Ha, immortality is a very convenient thing."

"Later, I finally escaped from that haunted place, but I still dreamed about those horrible people."

"When I woke up in a pile of zombies on the first morning after escaping from the Corpse God Cult."

I turned my head to look out the window, looking at the lazy sunshine, and said with a complicated expression.

"The sunrise that day was really beautiful. Do you know what I wanted to hear the most at that time?"

As my voice fell, the room fell into silence, and I just looked out the window quietly.

At this moment, a slightly awkward and crisp voice sounded in my arms.

"Good morning."

I nodded subconsciously, and just as I was about to speak, my body suddenly shook and I looked towards my arms in surprise.

And in my arms, Tongtong's mouth moved slightly and she smiled, like a night-blooming cereus, blooming at this moment, all the colorful flowers fell into one place, turned into pure white, occupying my sight.

Tongtong smiled as bright as a flower and spoke again word by word.

"Good morning."

Chapter 46 I am like petting a cat

The sound of breathing, heartbeat, the sound of the wind outside the house, all the sounds in the world seemed to stop at this moment.

Only the three words that came out of Tongtong's mouth remained.

"Good morning."

Every word, every syllable, is like a tiny stone, falling into my heart one by one, circling and echoing.

I stared at Tongtong's smiling face, standing there like a fool.

I don't know what to do and don't know what to do.

I felt as if all the blood in my body was flowing backwards, boiling, and exploding in my body. It was also like I was electrocuted, with invisible electric currents running through my body.

After staring at Tongtong for a long time, my brain had short-circuited, but I couldn't help but smile at her and replied softly.

"Morning... good morning."

I stammered these three short words. For a moment, I felt more like a zombie with my tongue stiff and hard.

Tongtong raised her head slightly, as if amused by my pronunciation, squinted her eyes, and laughed like a kitten.

Looking at Tongtong's cute appearance, I wanted to pinch her little face, but after thinking it over again and again, and moving my fingers again and again, I finally gave up this tempting idea.

I lowered my eyebrows, but then I couldn't help laughing, and Tongtong squinted her eyes, imitated me, and laughed with me.

The heart lake spreads, and the seeds at the bottom of the lake sprout, extend their branches, and bloom brilliantly above the heart lake.

……

The next day, I finally calmed down and sat on the sofa with Tongtong. I looked at her seriously and asked with some anticipation.

"Tongtong, can you... understand what I am saying now?"

Tongtong blinked her eyes and nodded slightly with a smile on her face, but this simple action made my heart beat faster again, and my emotions, which had been difficult to calm down, became excited again.

I tried hard to suppress my excitement, pretended to be calm, and asked softly.

"Can you tell me your name?"

Tongtong heard this, opened her little mouth slightly, and spoke with some awkwardness but clear enunciation.

“Tong…Tong.”

Seeing this, I couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face, and said softly,

"Tongtong is awesome."

I finally made up for what I didn’t dare to do yesterday today.

Tongtong smiled sweetly and seemed to really like me pinching her little face.

It was not until this moment that I finally realized that Tongtong's face was no longer cold, but even warmer than my palm.

She is really not a zombie anymore.

Inappropriately, I thought of the god with cerebral palsy and Zhou Ren in the pink flower field.

What that bastard god did to the two of us didn't seem to be that simple.

The flowers on Zhou Ren's body and my flesh and blood seem to have other uses.

While I was in a daze, Tongtong held her hands and put them in front of me with a smile on her face. I came to my senses and looked down.

I saw that in Tongtong's fair palm there was a candy, which was the one I gave her before.

It turns out that this silly girl had kept it carefully all along. I thought she had thrown it away.

Tongtong pushed the candy in her hand towards me like a little child who wanted to share a treasure, while repeating a single word in her mouth.

"eat."

Looking at Tongtong, my heart felt warm, but I didn't want to eat the candy just like that, so I stood up, took the candy, and seriously split it into two halves with a kitchen knife.

This may seem a bit redundant, but I had a lot of fun doing it.

As the old saying goes, one pregnancy will make three stupid people... No, that's not it, forget it, I can't remember it.

I split the candy in half, kept half for myself and gave the other half to Tongtong.

On the sofa, I gestured to Tongtong to put the candy into her mouth. Tongtong looked at me foolishly, then imitated my movements and put the candy into her mouth.
