Chapter 215 - ready to go out

When Wei Xuan came to his senses, the sky was still leaden gray, but there was not even a trace of snowflakes to be seen. He blinked suspiciously, shook his head vigorously, and then… flung a pile of snow off his head, face, and shoulders, surprising himself.

When Wei Xuan looked down at the snow falling from his body, suddenly a large lump fell from him, and looked up—oh, this lump fell from Du Hang’s body…

“…How long have we been standing in the snow?” Although he was asking Du Hang, Wei Xuan had an intuition that Du Hang didn’t know the exact time, so he opened his sleeves to check the time and date on the electronic watch (no Thinking that this thing came in handy so quickly), and then he was shocked again, “It’s been a whole day?!”

The heavy snow began to fall on the morning of the 14th, but at this time Wei Xuan’s electronic watch showed that it was 11:30 am on the 15th!

Every time the strange snow falls for a whole day, Wei Xuan knew this before, but he never thought that he would completely lose his sense of the outside world when the strange snow fell! But the former Du Hang doesn’t seem to be like this? In the past, when I dragged him through the strange snow and asked him to do something, he always responded!

“What about you? I feel weird in the snow. I feel that the surrounding is a vast expanse of whiteness. I look up and feel that I can only see snowflakes in my eyes. I don’t have any feeling about the surroundings. What about you? Can you feel the movement around you?”

Du Hang was stumped by Wei Xuan’s question, so he obviously fell into deep thought. After a long time, he continued to work in the room where the zombie brothers around him also happily ran to the busy room before the snow fell because they regained their mobility. In their previous work, they gave the answer: “I don’t feel it.”

“…Is it because you don’t feel the surroundings, or you don’t know if you felt it at that time?” Wei Xuan could only sort out the questions and continue to ask.

“…I don’t know, do you feel it?” Du Hang’s answer this time was even more hesitant, and he went around between Wei Xuan’s two questions for a long time before giving a formal answer.

Wei Xuan nodded silently, suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: “Do you remember the first time it snowed like this?” He has always wanted to ask Du Hang or other zombies this question. Knowing what the normal zombies experienced when they mutated for the first time, is there any special feeling? It’s just that even if I asked myself before, it was impossible to get a normal answer. Now…he just asked with a glimmer of hope.

In fact, when Du Hang was able to answer Wei Xuan’s question formally and logically, Wei Xuan considered whether to ask him if he still remembered the past? But he was afraid that it would really remind him of something and make him fall into sad, sad and other emotions, so he endured it all the time, and now when he encountered this opportunity, he couldn’t help asking.

But Du Hang shook his head at him, he really didn’t remember anything, he didn’t even know which snow was the so-called “first snow”.

But Wei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief after getting this answer—it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t remember, if there were any painful memories for Du Hang at that time, Wei Xuan would definitely regret the question he asked.

Although Wei Xuan was still eager to ask him if he could remember the past, he swallowed it back. After all, his life before and after the end of the world has been completely overturned, and his parents have become like that again now. It’s Wei Xuan himself, and I’m afraid he may not be willing to remember the previous things again.

Bracing himself up, Wei Xuan hurriedly stopped the zombie brothers who were about to disperse their work, and assigned them the areas that needed to be cleaned up. Everyone worked together to collect the strange snow.

It hasn’t been long since Wei Xuan woke up after a long sleep. During this period, he went out once, and he was usually busy with cleaning, so he rarely had time to distill the snow water he collected before. Snowflakes are coming. Fortunately, the zombies’ intelligence increased a lot during his long sleep. They actually collected all the snow water from the strange snow and piled them up in several houses separately. Usually, no matter who is “hungry”, they will eat by themselves. Go to those houses, pick up any container and sip a drink, even if there is no snowflake to eat, it is not a big problem.

The snow water that Du Hang brought back to Wei Xuan’s room was also taken from that room.

Wei Xuan kept that room in the process of sorting out things this time, and vacated the entire building where those rooms were located, and prepared snow water specially used to store the strange snow. After distillation, he will also put the stored snowflakes in these rooms, so that everyone can come and “eat” whenever they need it.

After assigning the task, Wei Xuan himself was about to start work when he suddenly thought of something, casually grabbed a handful from the relatively clean snow around him, and sniffed it in front of him. The snow exudes a tempting aroma that can trigger the appetite of zombies, but because Wei Xuan is not very hungry now, although he feels the aroma, it is not as usual when he is “hungry”, and will produce a kind of aroma. I couldn’t help the thought of stuffing my mouth.

However, he still ate a little bit, but found that the snow he ate now did not blame the strange feeling when he raised his head and opened his mouth when the snow fell.

Is it because that feeling is nothing more than a one-off? Or is it because you only feel that way when you eat the strange snow falling from the sky when the strange snow is falling? Or maybe it’s just because he’s not hungry right now?

It’s a pity that if you want to know the answer, you have to wait another four months, shaking your head to drive all these thoughts out of your mind, Wei Xuan rolled up his sleeves and started to work.

Harvest the snow, wait for the snow to melt, and boil it.

It took a day, before the strange snow completely melted, Wei Xuan took the zombie brothers and spent a full day, 24 hours, scraping off the clean snow on the roofs of all nearby buildings as if scraping the ground. again. Until almost all the containers in the house are filled.

It wasn’t until this time that Wei Xuan found out helplessly that he really didn’t feel sleepy without sleeping for 24 hours! He even felt that there would be no problem even if he continued to endure it afterwards.

Of course, staying up late and insisting on not sleeping is still somewhat different from normal life, that is, if he usually needs to eat snowflakes three times a day to replenish energy, when staying up late and insisting on not sleeping, his daily meal intake will increase to five meals .

Fortunately, what they are collecting now is the strange snow, and they can definitely afford to eat a few more meals. Whether it is Wei Xuan or the zombies, if they feel “hungry” during the busy process, when they need to replenish energy, they will just grab a handful from the snow-covered bucket in front of them and stuff it into their mouths.

Wei Xuan also found that although he still felt that the sky was very dark when he looked at the surrounding situation at night, which was similar to before, but once the sky was completely dark and he adapted to the environment, he would be able to distinguish the shapes of nearby objects more clearly than before. appearance.

This feeling is not like the night vision device, but as if the eyes have an incremental effect. Even if the surroundings are pitch black, he can see clearly The outlines of things nearby are just not as clear as they are in bright light.

This night vision effect has greatly increased his ability to move at night, but it doesn’t matter – even if he has this ability now, he doesn’t need to go out to do something in the dark, right? This ability is of no use to him? Might as well just go to bed straight after dark like before.

Twenty-four hours after the snow stopped, the snow completely melted into snow water. There are still a lot of things in the community of Wei Xuan’s family that have not been cleaned up neatly, so he boils snow water on the open space of the community with an induction cooker, and at the same time leads the younger brothers to work busy, and sets the time on the mobile phone that he carries. When it was almost boiled dry, I immediately ran back to the induction cooker and stared at it. Fortunately, his speed has improved a lot now, no matter which building he is busy in, as long as the alarm clock goes off, he can quickly reach his destination.

After three or four days of muttering in a row, Wei Xuan finally cleaned up the house. Shaking off a handful of non-existent sweat, I decided to go out again after two days of recuperation to recover and not consume much physical strength.

This time he had to learn from last year’s experience. Last year, he thought that even if he went out in the middle of winter, there would be no problems. After the first winter snow officially fell, he took his younger brothers out to hunt, but he encountered Storm needs, this year he is going to go out early, and the time is short, quickly find what he needs and pat his **** home, so as not to encounter any accidents, if he is shot again, God knows if he will wake up one day?

Thinking of this, Wei Xuan quietly changed the day of rest to one day in his heart, and decided to go out early in the morning the day after tomorrow.

After a pleasant rest all day, there was a lot of snowflakes. Wei Xuan took some and stuffed them in his backpack, and put the remaining half in the room where the snow water was stored, and then prepared to lead the team out. That’s right, he hasn’t forgotten what happened last time, it’s just because he casually took a few temporary coolies home on the street, and his own zombie brother almost jumped up and hugged his leg and cried bitterly for his heartlessness , he absolutely does not want to experience this kind of accident again!

Together with Du Hang, each carrying a backpack, Wei Xuan went downstairs and began to look at the zombie boy who was wandering casually on the road.

Perhaps it was because Wei Xuan would arrange things for them every day these days, so when he saw the two of them coming out and looking at them, even the little zombies who were wandering on the long path hurried away one after another. Come over and wait for the contractor to assign them work.

Perhaps the onlookers at the scene were a bit too chaotic, Wei Xuan muttered casually after seeing this: “It’s so chaotic and crowded together, how can I choose?”

As soon as his words fell, coupled with the backpack he must carry every time he went out, let the zombie boys grasp the truth in an instant, and then-“Choose me, choose me, choose me-” sound, almost made Wei Xuan’s head explode.
