Chapter 4 - road

Standing by the chair, Wei Xuan carefully used tweezers to remove the small glass embedded in Du Hang’s skin, and then wiped his face with a clean wet cloth bit by bit to remove some dirt.

In fact, compared to other zombies, Du Hang’s current appearance can be described as clean and decent. However, he didn’t know what he had experienced before. He was obviously injured by things like broken glass, and his whole body seemed to have fallen into the snow, which resulted in many small wounds and dirt on his body.

But fortunately, the recovery ability of zombies is extremely strong. Even if Wei Xuan doesn’t help him deal with these minor injuries now, his wounds will heal automatically after a day or two.

But then… some tiny pieces of glass embedded in his skin might just get stuck in his skin.

In his previous life, there were still such pieces of broken glass on Du Hang’s face and body, which made it difficult for Wei Xuan to remove them even if he wanted to remove them later.

Du Hang was like a large doll, Ren Weixuan tossed his face and body, even if the other party pulled out pieces of glass shards with black blood stains from his body, he didn’t seem to respond at all, it was just so quiet. Sitting still, motionless, as if feeling nothing at all.

Wei Xuan didn’t know if the zombies and semi-zombies felt pain after being injured, but he knew that if these zombies and semi-zombies were attacked and injured, they would definitely fight back. Maybe treating these minor injuries for him now should not affect his actions, so Du Hang didn’t react.

From the far side of the street outside the window, there are occasional sounds of cars slamming on the brakes, the faint roar of the accelerator, and even the sound caused by the explosion of supernatural powers, but they seem to be far away in the sky.

Wei Xuan carefully checked Du Hang’s body and body, and after making sure that there was nothing else that needed to be dealt with, he took the loose casual clothes that he had put aside and found from his house before going out. The severe pain on the wound was condensing at that time, helping Du Hang put on one by one. As for Du Hang’s original suit – whether it is a zombie or a human being, this kind of clothes will cause inconvenience to their mobility after the end of the world.

However, this time, Wei Xuan carefully packed the car keys, driver’s license, and some small items that Du Hang was carrying into a bag and stuffed them into his backpack. After all, these are related to Du Hang’s previous life and memory. The two of them couldn’t keep it in the last life. In this life, at least I will help him keep it. If, if one day he ever becomes conscious again…

Thinking of this, Wei Xuan looked at Du Hang’s face again. With his vigorous body and handsome face, such a young man must be like the favored son of heaven before the end of the world. At least, he will be the pride of his family, and he will have an unlimited future.

But when the end of the world arrives, all of this… will disappear.

With a sigh, Wei Xuan helped Du Hang tidy up his collar. This time, Wei Xuan sat in front of him and looked at him seriously: “I don’t know if you are the same as me now… You came back from then. But I know, Now you may not even have any thoughts, let alone any consciousness… I will accompany you to survive together in this apocalypse and in the days to come.”

Yes, this is something he failed to do in his previous life. Because he is afraid of this horror world after zombification, longs to return to the place where human beings gather, and wants to return to the “normal” world to live and survive, so Wei Xuan returns to the base again and again, and goes out with other people in teams, hunting, and looking for supplies .

But in fact, Wei Xuan, who had calmed down completely, thought about it afterward. Even he himself felt that living in the base with the people in the base was not as peaceful, comfortable and carefree as living with Du Hang outside the base.

Since the end of the world, since he inspired that ability, he is probably no longer suitable for living in the base.

Perhaps those scientific lunatics were right before they died. I am afraid that my supernatural ability and my freak have already broken away from the category of normal human beings. The only difference between me and a half-zombie is that I still have human memory, right?

Thinking of this, Wei Xuan couldn’t help but smile wryly, no matter what, he still needs to eat, and he has no interest in human flesh and blood. He is different now, entirely because his ability is different from other ability users.

That’s right, the abilities he inspired were very different.

Standing in front of the half-shattered floor-to-ceiling windows, there were still a few zombies wandering around in the street outside looking for human traces aimlessly. Just above their heads and not far away was the living Wei Xuan, but they seemed to be completely unaware. I didn’t see General, and I was reluctant to give him even a small look.

This is the ability that Du Hang inspired after he was injured—a special ability that would make the zombies mistake him for the same kind and not attack him at all.

Wei Xuan’s ability has no combat power, but his ability is unimpeded in today’s world where the end of the world is coming and zombies are everywhere. Unless he took the initiative to attack the zombies and failed to incapacitate them all at once, the opponent would fight back because of the attack. Otherwise, even if he dangled in front of the zombies every day, the other party would completely ignore his existence, so what should they do, and treat him like nothing.

If such a heaven-defying ability is used properly, it will allow Wei Xuan to live incomparably at ease in these fallen cities. But in his previous life, he has been working hard all the time. Although he realized that his abilities are different, he is still unwilling to live alone outside for a long time. People from all over the world went out together to hunt zombies in search of supplies.

Because of his special ability, he can often survive safely after encountering a large wave of zombies, his companions are completely dispersed, and most of his companions die.

But it is precisely because of this particularity of his ability that someone might have noticed the problem at some point, so he was targeted and finally arrested for experimentation, right?

In fact, those people’s ideas are not wrong. I am a supernatural being completely ignored by zombies. If I can study my own special features and let all survivors have this characteristic, then humans will naturally no longer be afraid of zombies. end times.

But Du Hang’s situation is quite the opposite. He is a zombie that will not actively attack humans. Naturally, the base wants to study this more clearly to see if they can find out the weaknesses of the zombies. Wouldn’t it be better to lose the desire to attack humans? ! At that time, all the zombies will stand obediently and wait for humans to slaughter them. They can collect zombie crystal nuclei at will and restore the former glory of human society!

However, comparing the two, it is still more likely that Wei Xuan’s situation will spread in human society after research. On the contrary, Du Hang, whether it’s those people or Wei Xuan himself doubts – does this guy still retain a trace of human consciousness, so that he can control the instinct of killing and assimilating human beings?

In the hot pot restaurant, down to the first floor and next to the zombies, Wei Xuan reconfirmed that what he had inspired in this life was indeed the same ability as his previous life. Then Wei Xuan let out a soft breath, turned his head and looked at the man who had been following him every step of the way. Du Hang in the distance: “We will take a rest here today, and tomorrow we will collect some food, find out the situation in the city, and then wait for the snow to completely melt…”

While muttering to himself, Wei Xuan sat down next to Du Hang, and then looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window in a daze.

The sky is very clear, and the air is also very fresh because of the heavy snow and melted snow the day before, but this freshness has some faint smell of blood and the smell of something burnt from a distance.

All of this made Wei Xuan feel a little dazed again.

He knows what he wants to protect and what he wants in this life, but he is still at a loss about the way forward—living in a human society far away from him, even he himself doesn’t know what the future will hold.

But no matter what—he raised his hand, and grabbed Du Hang’s cold hand again—no matter what, he had to protect the person beside him… no, or it should be said to be a half-zombie.

—————

After the panicked people opened their eyes and discovered that the whole world had changed drastically, some of the more courageous people walked out of their homes in advance and went out to search for supplies in places they could think of.

However, among the first group of people who went out, almost no one was able to return to their original residence.

Perhaps not many of these people were scratched and zombified by zombies on the road. But they are often chased by the continuous zombies behind them, so that they can’t return to their former residences again.

The rest of the people either hid at home and waited for rescue with bated breath because they still had some food in their homes. Or they simply rushed out of the house with their own furniture, drove their own car and rushed to a possibly safe place that they themselves could not be sure of.

After Wei Xuan woke up in the evening on the first day of the end of the world, he treated the small wounds on Du Hang’s body, and then checked the kitchen of the shop to make sure that there were still a lot of ingredients that could be used. Water, natural gas and electricity were also available. It was still intact and ready to use, so I used the ingredients and seasonings in the store to make some food to fill my stomach, took out a hardcover book, took out a pen to write and draw plans on it.

Different from the panic and bewilderment in the face of the apocalypse in the previous life, although at that time he had aroused a supernatural power and could use this supernatural power to avoid the hunting of zombies, but his actions were seriously affected by the shoulder injury , In addition, I was very worried and cautious about the situation at that time, so I didn’t dare to move around at the beginning, I just stayed here temporarily and stayed with Du Hang for the first time, and only dared to go out to inquire about the news when the wound on his body was almost healed , learned the location of the nearby base through the radio, and met the troops who entered the city to perform their missions and followed the traces they left when they came.

However, Wei Xuan in this life has no plans to go to the base at all. In other words, even if you go, you never plan to live there for a long time, at most you just go around those bases when you need to inquire about some news.

His ability can make the zombies treat him as nothing, and instead allow him to live safely in this terrifying city full of zombies. In that case, why should he flee the city? And why do you have to escape?

Yes, what Wei Xuan regretted the most before his death in the last life was that he returned to the base after the end of the world, thus implicating Du Hang. But now, after discovering that he can live another life, he is ready to live in this deserted city after the end of the world!

With Wei Xuan’s memory of certain things after the end of the world and Du Hang’s presence, Wei Xuan believes that they will be able to find their own way in this ruined city!
