Chapter 65 - Meet the living again?

Wei Xuan, who was carrying and hanging a bunch of heavyweight pendants, started to prepare for going out tomorrow as soon as he got home. Throwing away the steel pipes and other things that he usually carries as weapons, he is going to bring an explosion-proof ax as a weapon and tool for self-defense when he goes out tomorrow. Also, the rope around his and Du Hang’s waists can be replaced with the one just bought from the fire station, but it might be better to use the previous rope when sleeping tonight. The rope is thinner, and it shouldn’t be so tight when sleeping. people…

After tidying up everything and getting everything ready, I walked around the community as a daily inspection, and checked the seeds in the vegetable planter by the way, and confirmed that all the seeds inside were still in a state of indifference and silence. Only then did Du Hang have dinner together—he ate, Du Hang ate snowflakes.

Then, it was time to rest for the night.

After adjusting the rope that the two usually used to tie together, Wei Xuan tugged a few times to make sure that it would not be easily loosened while sleeping, and after specially adjusting the knotted place to his stomach, he took Du Hang together go to bed.

With this rope, he didn’t believe that Du Hang’s zombie brain that hadn’t upgraded to an adult knew how to untie the rope, not to mention that he had to untie the rope and then tie it back as it was!

Lying in the arms of Du Hang brand cool and big pillow, Wei Xuan gritted his teeth and smiled at him maliciously: “Xiao Mian, let’s see how you go out tonight.” I made a decision, and I plan to check the body of this uneasy zombie every morning, especially the hands and feet, so that if he really sneaks out again one day, I can’t be as late as last time. Got it!

In fact, after calming down and recalling it carefully, Wei Xuan remembered that not long ago he found a little blood on Du Hang’s body. He didn’t check Du Hang’s feet that time, and he didn’t remember whether his feet were particularly dirty. But looking at it now, it is very likely that he went out that time, and the bloodstain probably got it from somewhere or something after going out.

Although there is still blood in the zombie’s body, because the internal organs and body functions in the body no longer function as before after zombie transformation, the blood color in their body will generally be dark brown or black red. But the problem is that the human blood flowing out of the body will turn into a similar color after a long time, so Wei Xuan really can’t judge from the aftermath that the thing that Du Hang fought with is a living thing with blood? Or dark blood like a zombie.

Upon waking up, Wei Xuan subconsciously stretched out his hand to rub his waist before he even got out of bed—it wasn’t the strain from doing too many things, but… really panicked.

Wei Xuan knew that it would be more uncomfortable to sleep with a rope tied to his body, but the last time it brought him such pain was he was outside, and was he sleeping in Du Hang’s arms, or was he forcibly pulled in… Therefore, Wei Xuan originally thought that this time he slept on a relatively soft bed, and it would be better if he moved the most painful part of the rope to another position.

However, the reality told him mercilessly—no matter how he sleeps, the discomfort is the discomfort, don’t think it will be much better if you change the place!

Opening his eyes, Wei Xuan pulled away the thin quilt to look at his waist with a depressed face, and there was a mark on the side, and the situation behind it can be imagined. So he glanced at Du Hang, who was honest as a pillow beside him, with a gloomy expression on his face—it was all the trouble caused by this careless person! I made myself so uncomfortable!

Du Hang also opened his eyes when Wei Xuan woke up, and was looking at him with a blank and innocent expression, completely unaware that he was the cause of the depressed mood of the person in his arms.

You can’t be too entangled in living with zombies, or you will be the one who will be depressed and uncomfortable. Knowing this truth well, Wei Xuan could only get up from the bed, and didn’t bother to untie the rope (in fact, the tie was not too tight, and the rope would hang relatively loosely around his waist after standing up), and directly dragged Du Hang went to the bathroom.

Wash up, eat breakfast, observe the male and female zombies to make sure they are still staying in their room, and find Du Hang’s father wandering around with a bone stick among the zombies in the neighborhood, proving that it is not Like its son, wandering out of the community carelessly. After confirming that there was no special situation in the community, Wei Xuan took Du Hang with him and went out again with the money.

This time, Wei Xuan and the others headed towards the center of the city. Wei Xuan had been there before, but he didn’t go too deep. Yesterday, he recalled the route he took when he went there before. This time, he planned to take another road that he had never traveled before and plant some potatoes and carrots along the way.

The rope on his body has been replaced with a thicker rope of better quality that he got from the fire station yesterday. This time, because of the special hook on the rope, there is no need for Wei Xuan to tie knots at all. As long as it is stuck in a fixed position, it will Well, it’s much more worry-free than before.

He has recovered a lot of this kind of rope. Unfortunately, he can’t easily touch the one on the male zombie’s body, otherwise he will definitely be attacked by those two, so he can only let them continue to use the previous one.

Along the way, Wei Xuan observed the nearby buildings while walking, and planted potatoes in suitable places by the way. The itinerary on this road was quite leisurely.

If he encounters relatively large supermarkets and convenience markets in the community, he will go in and wander around. However, most of these small markets selling various vegetables and fruits are similar to the ones in front of his house. There are only a few types of simple stalls inside. No trace of seeds at all.

He stopped and walked, turned around, and at the end of the day, he had already walked all the way to the place where he had temporarily lived before and where the mutated plants had been burned. But this time he didn’t take the main road that he passed last time, and deliberately bypassed the place where he had cultivated here before, and walked to a relatively narrow street, and found a three-story old-fashioned building to prepare for it. Rest here for a night – there is no way, even if they have walked this road once before, but they walked all the way to find things, and it was already getting late when they got here.

He took out the dinner he had prepared in advance, wiped his hands clean and ate a simple meal—flatbread rolls, pan-fried potato cakes + fried ham.

There are thousands of ways to make potatoes, but the one that suits Wei Xuan’s appetite the most is the pan-fried potato pancakes, and his pancake skills are getting better and better. The pancake pan at home has been used most frequently among all kitchen utensils. , like the meal in his hand is basically made with a baking pan.

Looking at the colorful clouds with red and golden edges on the sky, Wei Xuan observed the nearby scenery and couldn’t help sighing in a low voice: “The weather is getting darker and earlier…winter will be over soon.” The post-apocalyptic winter is not Fortunately, even Wei Xuan who had already prepared everything he could have had to admit.

For unknown reasons, the weather after the end of the world has become more extreme than before the end of the world. The days of snow in winter have become larger and more frequent than before the end of the world, and the temperature in winter has become extremely low. Just like the T city where Wei Xuan lived, before the end of the world, the lowest temperature in this city in winter was only ten degrees below zero, and there would not be too many lowest temperatures in a winter. But after the apocalypse, the temperature in normal days would be more than ten or even twenty degrees below zero, and the lowest temperature could even reach minus thirty degrees in extreme snowstorms.

If it weren’t for the large number of people in the base in the previous life, and everyone usually moved all the junk home when they went out, so most people had a lot of things to burn in their homes, then the whole base would definitely be full of dead people in the winter!

After Wei Xuan watched the sunset, had dinner and fed Du Hang, he took out the map again to study the route for tomorrow, and then he could stop by the shops and so on, and slept peacefully in Du Hang’s arms until he was almost digested. Li—If this guy’s body temperature is like a hot water bag, how good would it be if he could maintain his temperature after being roasted? Then he can use it as a warm pillow in winter, and as a cool pillow in summer…

It is very comfortable to sleep next to a cool human-shaped pillow when the weather is still very hot. The only fly in the ointment is that the rope tied around his and Du Hang’s waists is rather harsh. But now that he is away from home, Wei Xuan can’t guarantee that Du Hang will rush out recklessly if he encounters some unexpected situation.

In the middle of the night, the roar that suddenly came out of his ears was enough to prove that Wei Xuan’s precautions in advance were not wrong—even though Du Hang had no real intention of rushing out, he still hugged him.

“What’s wrong?!” Wei Xuan immediately woke up from the dream, looked around nervously and quickly, and was slightly relieved after confirming that there was nothing abnormal in the room where they were resting. Then he heard, not only Du Hang in the room, but also the zombies connected to it roaring excitedly.

“…Is there a conflict between me and this place?” Wei Xuan couldn’t help complaining in his heart after hearing the movement outside, and then got up quietly helplessly, holding Du Hang tightly, and facing the window edge close.

If he remembers correctly, the last time he was around here, he also met the base team who went into the city to find supplies, right? What made him feel even more embarrassing was that the last time he found someone nearby, he was woken up by the roaring sound in the middle of his sleep. Could it be that this place has good feng shui? Is it true that even if you don’t come here by yourself, there will be living people passing by here every day? How hard it is for the zombies living around here!
