Chapter 17: There is strength in numbers
It is hard for Linduoduo to imagine what the world is like without the existence of zombies, only some old photos left by her family, which can let her glimpse a little bit of the edge.
Her family had described it to her many times before, but it was difficult for her to imagine it as a concrete picture, if there was no danger in the world, what would people do every day?
No wonder there are so many tall buildings, they are idle.
"Where did you come from?" Lin Duoduo suddenly asked white Xiao.
White Xiao asked are inexplicable questions, and she asked is very serious.
"I came from..." White Xiao stuck a shell, how to say, drunk clonk came?
He himself did not know why this meal of wine was so expensive, and paid the price of half his life. If possible, white Xiao want to change with the boss, change the boss was bitten by the zombie, so that there will not be so many batches of words to speak, so many batches of meetings opened.
"You're going to lie." Lin Duoduo assured way.
"No, I... It's infected. It's like a dream."
'Oh?
"I feel like I've come from a place without zombies." White Xiao said.
"There can't be a place like that." Lin Duoduo smiled, it was indeed a dream.
But she hadn't even dreamed of a place like that. A world without zombies, according to the family.
"How did you get bit by a zombie? Are there any new zombies in town?" Lin Duoduo asked again.
"Fresh zombies..."
White Xiao feel this word is very awkward, as if he is only fresh.
He had never thought he would be discussing such strange topics with anyone, hearing such strange words. It makes more sense to see the collapse of civilization as zombies swarm around.
"It's an old zombie." White Xiao think of that rotten goods, really very old.
"You're not suffering from a terminal illness, are you?" Linduoduo's expression became a little strange.
"How is that possible? What was going on in your head?" White Xiao really want to open her skull to see.
Linduoduo shrugged, can be bitten by the old zombie, also considered a strange person.
She was even able to ride a bicycle through old zombies with a hoe in her coat.
As grandpa said in the story, seven in seven out of Liu what is it? No army can stop.
Linduoduo carefully recall, also can not remember the name of the general, only remember very powerful.
"What is it like in your dream where there are no zombies, do you just build buildings with nothing to do?"
"Also... There's plenty to do." White Xiao think of their unfinished program, and those years of overtime.
Oddly enough, after he was infected, it turned out to be his easiest day.
"Like what?" Lin Duoduo asked.
"Let's have a meeting." White Xiao said.
Lin Duoduo is not interested, what is messy, the rice is cooked, she stood up for a moment, a little low blood sugar, slow down to take a spoon scoop a big scoop to white Xiao. White Xiao pretense blowing, in fact, he is not afraid of hot, just a little resistance to this change, or to learn normal people, blow cool and then eat.
"Eat more." Lin Duoduo said.
"Huh?"
"Don't you see any difference between you and those zombies out there?"
"I can eat? A vegetarian?"
"Yes, maybe that's one of the reasons you're better. They seem to be hungry all the time, and they won't eat."
"I'm always hungry, too." White Xiao said.
"But you will eat." Lin Duoduo said.
That makes sense.
White Xiao a little agree, just infected, he will eat will not digest, always want to spit out, until the feeling began to digest, also began to improve, he does not know what connection between this.
"And since you're a vegetarian, you should eat more."
Linduoduo said, the pot of leftover rice to their own loading, to the side to eat.
She knows what it's like to be vegetarian and not eat meat. People don't have much strength, so they should eat meat.
After dinner, the sun is still very big, the afternoon is still hot, she put on gloves, cut bamboo with a knife, ready to make a basket with, the basket made last year is almost broken, otherwise it will not use a snake bag.
The bamboo basket can be carried on the back, so that the hand is free, sometimes the safety will be much higher, rather than as today, carrying a bag and carrying a cabbage, the mouse will not have the convenience of carrying a bamboo basket, the mouse is not afraid of people, straight at her, she threw down the cabbage and shot dead.
"I can do that." White Xiao said.
Linduoduo thought for a moment, turned back to the house to find a pair of gloves for him, let him wear.
White Xiao took over the work of Lin Duoduo, Lin Duoduo scratching ears, pull on the simple screen, gave himself a cool, dealing with rats contaminated with blood gas also washed away.
Just in the eyes of the white Xiao Lin Duoduo is with some fierce, then a girl, carrying a bag, right hand carrying a dog like the body back, peeling cramps, there is no hesitation, like an old butcher.
Actually, carrying a gun around all day is pretty aggressive.
When Lin Duoduo washed cool, changed loose clothes, and sat on the threshold shaking the fan, it looked much more normal.
"What about those locust flowers?" White Xiao saw that big bag of locust flowers, only ate a little, she brought back a lot.
"Save some for tomorrow, and dry the rest for soaking." Lin Duoduo said.
White Xiao found that she has the habit of storing all kinds of things, not only the elm money to be dried, locust flowers are also, it may be many years of living habits, always want to leave some, even if not soaking water, emergency can also make do.
"There's no such thing as a survivor's colony?" White Xiao suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Lin Duoduo paused for a moment.
"It's the remaining survivors coming together to fight the disaster. There's strength in numbers."
"If there is, it's human." Lin Duoduo said. A zombie, met by others, a high probability is a shot at ease.
"There is?"
"I guess... I heard of a similar place in Kitahara several years ago." Linduoduo carefully recalled, "I don't know whether it is still there."
"Why don't you go?" White Xiao strange.
"Why should I go? Linduoduo is even stranger.
"Well..."
White Xiao wanted to say will not live better, but look at the appearance of Linduoduo, it is estimated that what you do not know the hidden situation.
"Why don't you go?" Lin Duoduo asked back.
"... I'm a zombie." White Xiao wanted to say.
"What about before you were infected?" Lin Duoduo asked.
"I don't remember."
White Xiao is very sad, day collapse start, even if you want to find what organization, also have to others can accept.
It is easier for people who have survived a disaster to come together than to live alone... Yeah, I guess.
