Chapter 29 - new neighbor

Wei Xuan wasn’t sure what the zombies would do after eating the snowflakes, and he couldn’t guarantee that they would really be able to take good care of them after they were brought back to their community. But zombies are no better than pets after all. After taking them back, find a room for them to live in. As long as they don’t have nothing to wander around, they won’t be in danger.

In the last days, although human life is more difficult and there are many crises in the last days, it is still difficult to guarantee the lives of zombies.

Humans will find ways to enter the city and strive to regain their former homeland, which will inevitably lead to—every time they enter the city, they will take away the lives of a large number of zombies and lure some zombies from the city.

After the early days of the end of the world, people who have mastered the tricks of hunting zombies discovered the function of zombie crystal nuclei, discovered that people with supernatural powers can absorb them, and people can convert the energy inside them into energy sources. A huge number of zombie cities is bound to become an energy pool in people’s eyes!

Wei Xuan is not a kind person, so after his rebirth, he never thought of returning to human society and working hard for human society with his useless power. He is not a friend of the zombies, and the only one who wants to stay by his side after rebirth is Du Hang. But ever since he met these two zombies, he had the idea that he didn’t want them to stay here like this. They were exposed to the wind and the sun every day, and when there were living people entering the city, they would chase after them excitedly… Then what? ? Then they either died under human guns, were dug out of the crystal nucleus in their brains, or because of some accidents, the ropes connected to them were broken…

Yes, it was because of this rope, which represented a completely different meaning in Wei Xuan’s eyes, that he made up his mind to stay with Du Hang like a lover without caring about his identities as humans and zombies, and made up his mind to stay together Before leaving, he gave the two zombies a small bag of snowflakes, and made up his mind to take them away from here.

It seems that as long as the two zombies can remain inseparable in the last days, even if they can never restore human memory, they can rely on this rope to maintain their relationship with each other, and Du Hang and I can be like them in the future.

Anyway, Wei Xuan would have dragged zombies to his community to warn and guard the house, so it would be no problem to drag them back now. I just hope that these two don’t always think about going back to this park to see the scenery and go on a date after arriving in the community.

The two zombies didn’t answer – of course there couldn’t be. So Wei Xuan thought with peace of mind that not answering would be tantamount to acquiescing, and then he took a step forward, trying to grab the rope between the two of them.

Just as Wei Xuan stretched out his hand to the rope, the zombie who had been sitting obediently at the original position suddenly bared its teeth viciously in Wei Xuan’s direction! The young zombie who was wandering around in a daze before also seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned around and scratched at the place where Wei Xuan was!

Wei Xuan was startled, and immediately withdrew his hand, and something even more unexpected happened to him! Du Hang, who had been standing obediently by his side, suddenly took a step forward, roaring to block the waving claws of the young zombie, and confronted the older zombie who had realized that his “wife” had been yelled at, and roared at each other!

This is the first time that Wei Xuan saw zombies confronting each other without any conflict of interest! In his previous life, the zombies would only attack him after he really hurt them and caused them a lot of damage, but what’s going on now? !

Wei Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly pulled Du Hang back. Although the other party was also roaring at Du Hang, he seemed to be guessing something and didn’t really want to catch up. And after Du Hang started roaring, the young zombie retreated behind the older zombie for some reason, instead of continuing to wander around in a daze as usual.

“Okay, don’t be nervous, it’s okay.” Seeing that the other party didn’t mean to chase after him, Wei Xuan comforted Du Hang, who had a grim expression, to calm him down as much as possible, and then turned his head to look at the two zombies . The older one didn’t catch up any more. At this time, it and the young one sat back to where they were sitting earlier. The two zombies didn’t look at the scenery outside at this time, but kept staring at Du Hang. Although they There is no expression, but Wei Xuan can feel that they seem to be wary of Du Hang, worried that he will attack them at any time.

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Xuan can only judge for the time being—because Du Hang is a half-zombie, so in fact, if he threatens or intimidates other zombies, the other party can clearly feel his hostility. As if zombies met humans?

And the reason why the two zombies were very vigilant about their pulling the rope just now is probably because perhaps in their subconscious mind, this rope is an important thing they have to protect even after they die and turn into zombies.

In fact, if you think about it, you can guess some. It has been so long since the end of the world. If they completely ignore the existence of the rope, the rope that gets in the way when they are usually moving or going out for a stroll will really not be caught by other things or zombies. Pass? there must be! But those obstacles may have been eliminated by them!

Thinking clearly about this, Wei Xuan got up again, took two steps towards the two zombies, and at the same time took out a small plastic bag from his pocket, which contained the snowflakes that Wei Xuan carried with him, which had been used up by himself and Du Hang Some, more than half a bag left now.

He held up the bag of snowflakes to the two zombies, and clearly saw that the two zombies shifted their vision to him at the same time, so Wei Xuan smiled at them both: “Although it is relatively safe here, there is no guarantee that you will be able to stay here all the time.” Such a peaceful life here… Well, I don’t want you to do things with me, be younger brothers or something, but I can find you a shelter from the wind and rain, and I can guarantee that you will have snowflakes for a long time in the future.”

He knew that his words were absolutely no different from alien language among the two zombies. So, after showing the snowflake in his hand and shaking it at the end of the conversation, he just took the bag of snowflakes and turned around and dragged Du Hang down the gazebo together.

After confirming that the two zombies were not as dumb as they seemed, and after confirming how much they attached importance to the rope, Wei Xuan was not as active as before about whether to take the two zombies back. Of course, he would take them away if he could, but he wouldn’t be a villain in vain if he didn’t appreciate it. That’s why he showed the bag of snowflakes, then turned around and left.

With two huge backpacks on their backs, Wei Xuan and Du Hang walked out of the gate of the park. As soon as he turned around, Wei Xuan could see the two zombies standing in the gazebo, as if they were looking in their direction like.

Turning around, Wei Xuan continued to walk in the direction of his own community.

————

The weather at the end of June was hot and sunny, and the situation in the community was no different from that before Wei Xuan left. Two large bags full of supplies had already been placed in a room on the first floor where they lived. Now, Wei Xuan has just tidied up a cleaned room on the first floor of another building, where there are now two more new residents, and at the same time, Wei Xuan has lost more than half of the bags of snowflakes stored.

Fortunately, the remaining snowflakes are enough for him and Du Hang to use until the next time the strange snow falls, and when the potatoes are harvested, just dig deep in the community, and the snowflake rations of the two new residents can be used. Also get it done.

That’s right, just when Wei Xuan and Du Hang had left the park for more than one intersection, the pair of male and female zombies actually walked out from the gazebo and the park where they had been stationed all the time, and followed Wei Xuan and Du Hang. Du Hang’s footsteps.

Therefore, there is a pair of new residents in this community.

Wei Xuan didn’t arrange the living quarters of the two zombies in a building that was too close to his two buildings. Although the building he chose for them was relatively inward, and the outsiders would not be too close when they entered, it was far from them. There is a building between the two buildings where they live.

That building was also one of the few buildings in the community that did not leak, so it was considered safe to let them live there. Although there was no furniture in the room vacated for them, for the two zombies, it was already very miraculous that they could remember to enter the room and sit on the bed to watch the sky outside. any specific meaning.

Wei Xuan never thought about whether to look for zombies like those two zombies in the city, and zombies like Du Hang who seem to have memories of their lives. After all, without a specific measurement, he can’t tell whether their behavior is just out of habit or for other reasons. Otherwise, would he even classify the zombies that he met at the gate of the community that night as being in this category? Woolen cloth?

After the new residents moved in, Wei Xuan started his new round of work again—while it was still daytime, he went out again after lunch to look for some very useful supplies.

After a simple lunch, he took Du Hang out on the road again. As for the community where he lived – he left it to the group of zombies to look after the house for the time being.

This time, Wei Xuan didn’t wander around aimlessly, but went straight to the nearest home improvement city, where he found a shop that installed water purification equipment, and carried seven sets of various filter elements and equipment back home. Family!

In the earliest time, Wei Xuan originally wanted to slowly process the rainwater according to the methods of his previous life, such as distillation, using gauze and other methods, although troublesome but very simple. However, when sorting out the supplies of those relatively intact households in the community, Wei Xuan accidentally discovered that some households still had water purifiers, and then remembered that such convenient things should be found in the city.

He had used the water purifier in the company before the end of the world. He didn’t think about it earlier because he had frozen his thinking in the previous life—at that time, people couldn’t even enter the depths of the city. How could they use it when there was no electricity and not enough water for them to deal with?

But this life is different! Wei Xuan even found solar panels, and the roofs of the entire community can be used to collect rainwater. Except for some dangerous places in the whole city, where is he not allowed to go casually? Isn’t it more convenient to find a few sets of water purifiers and use them slowly!
