Chapter 28 - back to the park

Once people are busy and busy, they have no time to think about other messy things, and the little girl zombies they met before were also temporarily forgotten by Wei Xuan.

The collected water is definitely enough for Wei Xuan to use for a long time. Although the water has not been treated and cannot be drunk, it is still much better than the water found in other places that has not been polluted by zombies. In the previous life, although people who lived in the base for a long time could get drinking water from the official, at most, the water was only enough for ordinary people’s daily drinking, and it might not even be enough. If people want to let go of their stomachs to drink water, who doesn’t wait until it rains to go out to catch the rain? Or wait until winter to collect snow water to drink?

In the evening of that day, I put the zombies and human corpses that I collected from various buildings before the heavy rain into the “ashes” not far from the community. This is the ruins that have been burned for many days in the early days of the last days and have already turned into a piece of scorched earth. Even if the smoke from burning corpses here is discovered by the survivors in the city, they will definitely not find anything unusual when they come here—a large block around them looks like a piece of scorched earth. traces here?

Wei Xuan, who had worked hard all day, could only postpone the task of going to the park to pick up things for another day. In the early morning of the next day, Wei Xuan, who did not get up late again, left the community with a rope at eight o’clock with Du Hang door.

It had rained two days ago, and there was no cloud in the sky at this time, and the sun would make people dizzy as soon as it came out. There are still puddles of different depths everywhere on the uneven ground. If you accidentally step into it, it will often cause a tragedy where your feet come out and your shoes stay inside.

Wei Xuan and Du Hang both wore high-barrel rain boots in order to prevent their skin from being accidentally injured and infected by the zombie virus. But even so, there were still several times when I accidentally stepped my foot into the mud and it took a long time to pull it out.

What made him feel a little tricky was that when Du Hang went out with him, he always followed the path he walked and acted according to his words. This also led to the fact that sometimes Wei Xuan had already walked through Lei, and when Du Hang got there, he would step in without hesitation! By the time Wei Xuan found out, Du Hang had already left the rain boot on one foot in place twice!

Even if he is a zombie, he is not afraid of stepping on the ground with bare feet or getting hurt! Is it easy for Wei Xuan to find such a few pairs of well-fitting rain boots in the post-apocalyptic world? How can such a waste!

Therefore, he had no choice but to lead the way ahead and pay attention to Du Hang’s situation from time to time, lest this silly boy step on the thunder and drop his shoes again, and he didn’t find out in time.

There are still all kinds of zombies wandering around the streets, men, women, young and old, tall and short, fat and thin.

After an earthquake and a heavy rain, the appearance of these zombies became more and more unkempt, and many zombies lost their shoes, clothes, and hats on their feet. — even more inhumane.

Looking at such zombies, Wei Xuan felt a little at ease in his heart. After all, he was most familiar with this kind of zombies in his previous life. On the contrary, the well-dressed zombies that look like normal people before the end of the world are more unacceptable. The closer their appearance is to humans, the more uncomfortable it will be for people like Wei Xuan who can observe them up close.

But when he turned around an intersection and saw a group of eight or nine zombies walking in a certain direction, Wei Xuan stopped involuntarily. The sun has dried it, so it is dry and wrinkled on the body, which is particularly uncomfortable and awkward. But even though this row of zombies was also walking aimlessly and at a loss, the ones behind were all following behind the leading zombie, walking with exactly the same footwork, swinging their arms like a pendulum, with undulating angles, heights, and frequencies all different. it’s the same.

Wei Xuan has seen a lot of zombies in the apocalypse that still have some characteristics of “occupational diseases”, such as the zombies of cleaners sweeping the floor, zombies picking up garbage, zombies cleaning glass, zombies of nurses washing their hands in hospitals, etc., but at this moment , he still felt that this scene was so heartbreaking.

With a soft sigh, he stopped Du Hang who was standing behind him waiting for his action, Wei Xuan turned around and continued to walk forward. Go straight in a randomly chosen direction on the surrounding streets.

The situation in the park is similar to the day Wei Xuan left, the same cracked ground, the same wandering zombies, and the same pavilions.

After looking around Wei Xuan left and right, he can confirm that the things he put here before have not been touched by anyone, and they are all well hidden in their original positions. As for whether it was kicked away by the passing zombies, causing the things inside to be soaked by rain… He hides things nearby that are not afraid of being rained, and there is no ration, even if it gets water, there is no problem.

Walking into the park, looking at the familiar pavilions, Wei Xuan couldn’t help but sighed again: “Hey, it’s good to live here all the time, but the tent is not resistant to rain and snow, and it’s too small…” Just as he was talking, he looked up and saw the two familiar figures on the gazebo. One was still sitting on a bench looking at the sky, and the other was walking around in circles. Although this scene also made people feel sad, it also had an inexplicable feeling. Cozy feeling.

After rummaging and tidying up, after a while Wei Xuan sorted out the things that needed to be brought back and put them into the oversized backpacks of the two of them. Walking back to the vicinity of the big crack that opened during the earthquake, and carefully observing Wei Weixuan, one can confirm that those snowflakes have indeed disappeared.

No, there are still snowflakes, but because of the heavy rain, all the snowflakes on the surface have entered the deep underground, and if you want to dig those things, you need to dig the hole at least one meter deep to dig out. Otherwise, after the next strange snow arrives, it will settle for about a week, and then the condensed snowflakes can be dug in relatively shallow places again.

The relationship between this kind of snowflakes and water is very strange. If you put this kind of strange crystals in the sun, they will not melt, but if you sprinkle them into the water, they will disappear instantly, but if you put this basin of water in After being exposed to the sun and drying all the water, those snowflakes will condense into a thin layer on the bottom of the basin, which is very strange.

So in fact, if this kind of thing is afraid of being discovered by others, you can simply put all the snowflakes in a mineral water bottle and fill them with some water to dissolve them. Pour them into shallower basins to dry when needed.

Wei Xuan had used this method in his previous life. When he entered the base, he was worried that someone would find something strange and steal Snowflake away. The only downside to this approach is – be careful not to drink that bottle of water! Although these snowflakes can be absorbed by supernatural beings, who knows if drinking such a bottle directly will turn people into zombies?

In this life, Wei Xuanshi does not need this method for the time being. But he decided that when the “strange snow” falls next time, he can try to use the pots and jars on the roof to directly collect snowflakes, and dry them to collect condensed snowflakes. If this experiment is successful, This is much easier than asking him to dig the ground to find snowflakes!

When the last heavy snow fell, he hadn’t been reborn yet, and after rebirth, he couldn’t find time to collect those snowflakes. He wanted to use that time to activate his abilities and find Du Hang. When he fully woke up, the snow outside had already Once the snow is completely melted, how can there be time to collect snow water?

As for whether this kind of weird snowflake was found in the base in the previous life? It is unknown whether the supernatural beings can absorb snowflakes to replace the crystal nuclei in the zombie’s head. At least in Wei Xuan’s impression, when cooperating with earth-type supernatural beings, they never brought snowflakes in the soil that fell from the ground. To find this thing, you still need a certain amount of luck.

However, if someone really discovers this secret, I am afraid that digging and finding snowflakes will become popular all over the base. By then, there will probably not be any intact ground in the entire base, right?

After packing up the things to take away, Wei Xuan wandered around the park for the last time, and then walked to the highest gazebo to look around before going out. Just after he walked up, the two zombies were watching the scenery in the gazebo. The middle and older ones suddenly turned their heads to face Wei Xuan and Du Hang’s direction, then opened their mouths and let out a low, non-threatening “ho—” sound.

Wei Xuan froze for a moment, wondering if its voice was the kind of threatening sound it would make when facing humans? Or is it simply that you only say hello to the two of you when you think you have met them? ?

With this question in mind, Wei Xuan carefully pulled Du Hang to the place where the zombie was sitting and took two steps, but the sound just now seemed to be an illusion, but the zombie continued to sit in the gazebo and look out There is no other movement in the landscape. And its good friend is still walking around in the gazebo within the limit of the rope.

Wei Xuan carefully observed the two zombies again, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual about them, he looked in the direction of the street outside. The scene on the street was no different from when the two of them came here. The zombies still roamed around in this empty city, looking so peaceful and silent—except that they themselves would make a few calls of unknown meaning from time to time. , almost no other movement could be heard in the whole city.

Then Wei Xuan turned around again, looked at the two zombies still in the pavilion, and then made up his mind to walk in front of them, and whispered to the older zombie sitting on the seat: “Do you want to come with us?”
