This is apocalyptic

Chapter 118 117: Stupid

The true beginning of life is in the safe zone.

People always have to come together to resist disasters and face nature.

Human beings are powerful, but also fragile. When they gather together, they are extremely powerful, but as individuals they can change nothing in the face of nature and can only struggle to survive.

Chenjiabao, Yu Ming, and Lin Duoduo are actually no different in essence. They are all just struggling to survive.

——All the same.

Chenjiabao is not large enough, it is still fragile and is helpless in the face of heavy snow, but it is more resistant. Only the industry in the safe zone can solve everything and fight against natural disasters and infections.

The kettle was steaming on the stove and the water was almost boiling.

Lin Duoduo had a wolf skin covering her legs. She glanced at the kettle and said, "You can't enter the safe zone. You said you can't disguise yourself. You are a zombie. You don't even dare to go in and take a look."

"You can."

"I'll go in by myself?"

"I'll take you there. No matter what, it's better there than the ruins, and you can live longer there. Your father's notes also have the same plan. Formal and official shelters can be trusted. They control most of the means of production before the disaster and have a complete system. Even if the end of the world really comes, that is the place where you can live the longest." Bai Xiao said.

Both Yu Ming and Zhang Tan, the reveler, had to admit this. Even though Zhang Tan believed that the shelter could not solve the infection and the final death knell had already sounded, the first to die would always be the solitary survivors and the revelers in the ruins, and only then would it be the safe zone's turn.

This period of time may be a few years, or it may be ten or twenty years, no matter how long it is, it may even last for a generation.

"We can't go any further, it's too far." Lin Duoduo pinched the zombie's arm. Now he had finally grown some flesh. "If you take me with you, you will die on the road. It's better to just leave it like this. We've come all these years."

The zombies not only have to walk a distance, but also have to go back and forth. She might die on the way, or she might enter the safe zone alone, and then Bai Xiao would come back.

She smiled and said, "What if I die on the road, or you die on the road, wouldn't that be a big loss? Even if you make it there alive, what are you going to do? Walk back? We might as well build this place into a shelter, and we can tear down those houses and build a big wall someday."

"So we should just give it a try. There is no hope here." Bai Xiao said.

The water boiled, Lin Duoduo pulled her feet out of his hand and went to pour two cups of hot water.

"You're a zombie. You spend every day thinking about how to send humans to such a faraway safe zone. You should be thinking about when I can't survive anymore so that you can take a bite."

Lin Duoduo sat back in the chair, put the wolf skin on her legs again, lifted her hair, and blew on a glass of water. "Taking me with you is different from walking alone. The old zombies on the road will be attracted, and one of your biggest advantages will be gone. You can't rest anywhere, and it takes a lot of time just to find a safe place to stay. If you encounter danger, you have to distract yourself to protect me. It's okay for you to be bitten by a poisonous insect, but I may have a swollen leg and can't walk, or I may fall and get injured. At that time, I will be in a desperate situation, unable to leave or come back, with no food or water..."

Bai Xiao shook his head. He had considered these issues, but the most fundamental problem was that the journey was long and full of uncertainties.

"You're not one to shy away from taking risks."

"I am." Lin Duoduo said.

"You're a piece of shit."

Yu Ming is not as brave as her, who can go into the city alone to scavenge and catch a zombie.

There is a kind of reveler's madness.

"Actually, I have a chance to get in, too." Bai Xiao said. "Hmm?" Lin Duoduo paused while blowing into the cup, staring at the zombie through her hair.

"I will give you a tube of blood. If you successfully reach the safe zone, give it to them and say... it was given to you by a reveler named Zhang Tan. If this helps them develop antibodies or vaccines, doomsday will not come." Bai Xiao said.

He was not sure about the current scientific research capabilities of the safe zone and whether it could support the development of antibodies, but his blood should be of some use. After all, he was a zombie who had retained his sanity and was not afraid of infection.

"Then what?" Lin Duoduo asked without moving.

"As long as there are antibodies in the safe zone, everything will be solved. I dare not appear in the safe zone, mainly because I am worried about losing my freedom. After all, nothing you do to a zombie can be said to be inhumane. It is tantamount to gambling with your life, and they should be crazy for antibodies, but as long as the infection problem is solved, all of this will not be a problem." Bai Xiao said.

Lin Duoduo narrowed her eyes and stared at the mist in the cup. After thinking for a while, she said, "If the people in the safe zone solve the infection problem, you can go in?"

"My safety will be greatly increased then."

"You are lying." Lin Duoduo said firmly, "You will definitely come back here and will not go to the safe zone."

Bai Xiao still didn't know how she made her judgment. This was not the first time.

"With the antibodies, my value will be greatly reduced, and someone needs to carry my blood to the safe zone." Bai Xiao said calmly.

Lin Duoduo held the cup and drank hot water without saying a word.

She now sleeps very peacefully at night, no longer living alone. She is fed up with the quiet yard and room every day.

I'm tired of living alone as a scavenger.

When she first picked up the zombie, there was already a lot of untended grass in her yard. Looking back now, that was a dangerous sign.

Life is good now.

Even if the zombies don't let her step on them, it's still good.

Bai Xiao gave her time to think and drank the water from the cup as well.

The temperature gradually rose up. People living on the ground didn't feel anything. It was still cold, but the snow was melting slowly.

The earth's energy is rising, and more green sprouts are emerging outside the walls of the house.

Bai Xiao found it hard to tell whether spring had arrived. After all, there was still so much snow that had not melted. He had not taken off his coat and still had to cover himself with three layers of quilts at night.

Abnormal weather is always annoying. He held the seeds given by Yu Ming, and didn't know whether he should plant them now or wait until the snow melted.

The yard was swept very clean. He turned over the soil in his own yard to loosen the soil that had been frozen for a whole winter, turned it over to dry it in the sun, and tried to plant some peppers and eggplants according to Yu Ming's method, and buried them in the soil as if he was holding some treasure.

No matter whether Lin Duoduo decides to go to the safe zone or not, this will probably be his shelter in the future, a shelter for zombies. After all, zombies and humans are different.

Zombies are just zombies, and it is difficult for them to coexist with humans. Only in hopeless places like ruins can they help each other.

Only Lin Duoduo was silly and not afraid at all.
