Chapter 48 - go home

Step by step, although I often act at night, I have already prepared myself for the burden when I come back this time, but looking at the faint brilliance in the east and the surrounding sky that seems to be a little bit darker than the previous night Wei Xuan still couldn’t help but sigh softly: “Hey… It’s actually dawning after halfway through the road.”

The days in summer are long, which means that the time of darkness is relatively short, and it also means that Wei Xuan feels that he has not walked for a long time, and the sky has reached the darkest moment before dawn.

After looking around and confirming the condition of the surrounding buildings, Wei Xuan was surprised to find that they had just returned to the Haojia Homestead where they had stayed during their lunch break.

“Well, it really doesn’t take one night to go back.” Wei Xuan shrugged helplessly, turned his head to Du Hang beside him with a wry smile, and said, “Come on, let’s rest for a day and continue on our way back in the evening.”

On this section of the road, the section with the viaduct is the most difficult to walk, but the total length is relatively shorter. After walking south from here for a while, you will leave the road of the viaduct. Although the distance after that is relatively long, it is much easier to walk.

So it only takes one more night at most, and Wei Xuan and the others will definitely be able to return to their own community. And Lu Weixuan over there is more familiar, so the speed will naturally be faster.

Putting the board that he had been carrying for eight hours on the ground, and helping Du Hang put down the things he was carrying, and taking off the backpacks on both of his chests, Wei Xuan instantly felt that his chest and his back were heaving. Like being blown by a gust of cool wind.

As soon as he took off his shirt, he checked the position of his shoulders in the mirror of the beauty salon, and confirmed that although the shoulders were obviously red, they were not damaged because of the homemade sponge cushions placed in advance, and then they were loose. He turned around and took off Du Hang in one breath—he was just checking his body, afraid that he would wear out after carrying so many things for a long time, and it didn’t mean anything else!

After a careful inspection, Wei Xuan couldn’t help grinding his teeth because of the inspection results—”There’s not even a red mark!” Well, they are zombies, isn’t it normal to have no red marks?

But what made Wei Xuan feel envious and jealous again was that when Du Hang just took off the backpack, there were still some imprints on his shoulders, but as time passed, the indentations on his shoulders were visible to the naked eye. speed back up…

“You zombies… you really want to **** off us humans.” Wei Xuan patted him on the shoulder resentfully.

Du Hang tilted his head and looked at him, as if he was an innocent child who didn’t understand why he was suddenly beaten. Seeing his appearance, Wei Xuan, who was somewhat unwilling, couldn’t help laughing, raised his hand and poked him on the cheek, helped him get dressed again, then turned around and sat directly in front of Du Hang, and put the He acts as a cool backrest.

With a long sigh of relief, Wei Xuan looked outside the gate: “Then take a good rest, anyway, the weather is so hot during the day… It’s just a good time to sleep at this moment.” He was talking, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw Du Hang raised a hand, just when he was surprised, that hand suddenly stretched out towards his face, and then… actually poked his face with a finger! !

Wei Xuan was greatly surprised by this action, his whole body trembled as if he had been frozen. After a long time, he raised his head with some difficulty, slowly, and looked at Du Hang behind him bit by bit, his mouth was closed for a long time not on.

Du Hang still looked blank, his eyes were not bright, as if he didn’t feel anything about his sudden action.

But Wei Xuan’s heart was still full of turmoil—before, he would only do what he usually taught Du Hang to do. When I asked him to do it, he would do it according to the movements I made for him, or what I taught him in advance.

Of course, he will also imitate some of his actions, but…it seems that until today, his active imitations are still very few, and the interval between them is too long, so such a clear imitation like now really made Wei Xuan I was taken aback.

Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, Wei Xuan smiled, with a deep sense of relief and emotion in that smile, and he leaned his head into Du Hang’s arms again, as if he could not even feel the exhaustion from driving all night. It was thrown eight hundred miles away.

Du Hang’s movements stopped when Wei Xuan turned his head. Seeing that he was leaning back in front of him and not moving around, he slowly put his fingers on his face again, poking and poking again. poke poke…

“Why does it always feel like I’ve felt this feeling there before?” Wei Xuan was puzzled and frowned, but he couldn’t remember it at all, as if his face remembered this feeling, but his brain’s memory didn’t have this memory at all like.

But no matter what, Du Hang can always show new, human-like movements that make him feel happy and complacent, so… Even if his imitation is indeed a kind of harassment, I have to endure it!

When I woke up, it was the afternoon sun shining brightly on the ground. Waking up at such a time made Wei Xuan deeply feel that it would be better to sleep a little longer and get through this period of sleep. But it’s a pity that I fell asleep not long after I leaned into Du Hang’s arms because I was tired from traveling all night last night. I should have slept enough by now.

only…

Reluctantly, he looked up at Du Hang—his finger was still poking his face… Could it be that as long as he didn’t stop him, he would be able to poke forever until he poked a hole in his face?

“Huh? What are you looking at?” Wei Xuan raised his head and suddenly found that although Du Hang’s fingers were still on Wei Xuan’s face and were still poking him lightly, his eyes would often look up. look out.

Wei Xuan hurriedly followed his line of sight to look out together – the collapsed viaduct, the smashed ground, the houses and buildings opposite, and zombies wandering blankly under the sun. Among them, there were many zombies that the two of them had seen before when they passed by last time. There were also the fat zombie that impressed Wei Xuan deeply and the skeleton of the female zombie dragged by it.

Du Hang lowered his head after hearing his voice, still looking at him blankly.

“…Forget it, it’s fine if there’s something weird.” Wei Xuan smiled at him, stretched his waist, moved his stiff body, sat up and cleaned up his personal hygiene a little, then took out the biscuits and water in his backpack and prepared Start eating—he prepares two different meals every time he goes out. One is made by yourself, but it is best to eat it within 24 hours. The other is instant food such as biscuits and instant noodles that can be stored for a period of time.

After all, the weather is too hot now, and the prepared food will definitely go bad if left for too long. When you really go out, you still have to rely on those foods that can be stored for a long time.

Now Wei Xuan has collected a lot of convenience food, so he only needs to bring this kind of food when he goes out recently. After waiting for a year, he needs to prepare homemade food that can be stored for a long time before going out. In his previous life, survivors like them brought raw potatoes or baked potatoes the most when they went out…

After eating “breakfast”, it was still very early. Wei Xuan got up and wandered around the beauty salon twice, then went to the shops on the left and right for a few laps, and then returned to the beauty salon and Du Hang again. They nested together until it was dark, and then they carried their heavy “luggage” on their backs and started on the way home.

Sure enough, as Wei Xuan judged before, going home from this community was difficult at the beginning, but after turning around the road with the viaduct, the road was relatively easy to walk. In addition to avoiding the debris of vehicles scattered on the road and being careful not to trip over the turned-up ground, I finally don’t have to worry about those concrete obstacles mixed with reinforced concrete.

This time, the two walked into the gate of their community around four o’clock in the morning. After Wei Xuan threw the solar panels on the two of them into the storage room on the first floor of the building where they lived, he couldn’t help shouting: “I want to take a shower!”

The weather is too hot, things are too heavy, the road is too difficult to walk…

If it wasn’t for his increased physical fitness, his feet would definitely be full of blisters after going out for just this one time!

But now, one has been worn out on his left foot, and it is only because it is relatively small that it is not damaged.

In the apocalypse, even if you pick a bubble, there is still a lot of risk, okay?

After warming up the water stored at home and bringing it to the bathroom, Wei Xuan dragged Du Hang, who hadn’t sweated a single drop, to the bathroom to take a shower.

There is half a tank of hot water in the bathtub—thanks to the continuous rain before, Wei Xuan cleaned out almost all the things that could be used to hold water in the community during that time, and filled those pots with purified rainwater Can.

Therefore, the water is now enough for him to take a shower from time to time. After all, if the water is stored for too long, there will be problems, and it will need to be disinfected and purified again.

First, he helped Du Hang clean up with the water from a small basin, and then Wei Xuan soaked himself in the bathtub, and couldn’t help sighing comfortably: “I’m sure I can’t go there right away tomorrow… After running over and over again to move Things are not a problem, just relying on the two of us, it may not be possible to run at least seven or eight times… Or, find foreign aid?”

Thinking of this, Wei Xuan involuntarily looked towards the wall in a trance—whether it works or not, we have to experiment.

But no matter whether his experiment is feasible or not, it will have to wait until tomorrow. Now he needs to rest, take a good rest! Carrying such a heavy and moving thing is definitely not something that can be relieved by simply sleeping.

After washing in vain, Wei Xuan, whose hair was still steaming, carefully treated the blisters on his feet, and waited for about an hour to confirm that his mind was clear and there was no sign of turning into a zombie. Human Pillow – Sleep!

Of course, he had bandaged the wound at the blister a long time ago. Unless someone deliberately smeared the blood of the zombie there, there should be no problem.
