This is apocalyptic

Chapter 149 148: Pain
"You are very smart and did a good job hiding yourself from being attacked."

Bai Xiao praised.

"If I come out, you will throw me to the ground and let them peck at you, and you won't be able to fight back."

"Then I'll tie you up in the house with a chain so you can never get out, and I'll have less to worry about."

He sat shirtless by the well. Lin Duoduo wiped his body with a cloth, chewed some herbs carefully and applied them on his body. She lowered her head and her hair brushed against his shoulders, making him feel itchy.

"Isn't it time to tie me up in the house now?"

"Why do you look so excited?"

He gazed towards the direction of the mountain in the deepening night. He had originally planned to burn the mountain in winter, but now it seemed he had to do it earlier.

Or take Lin Duoduo away from here.

In the past, people lived off the mountains and mainly guarded against zombies. This place was far away from the city and was a very good safe place. Keeping it had more advantages than disadvantages, but it is no longer the case now.

Lin Duoduo stuffed a mouthful of herbs into his mouth. He chewed it subconsciously, and when he felt something was wrong, he turned his head to look at this human.

"I licked it." Lin Duoduo looked at him and said.

"...You are so disgusting." said the Zombie King.

"I want to kiss you."

"..."

Bai Xiao looked at her with some sadness, the two of them couldn't even kiss each other.

"Are they attracted by these yellow things?" Lin Duoduo helped him bandage the wound, then he supported himself on his knees and stood up, looking at the apricots and wild vegetables drying in the yard. It rained a few days ago and they couldn't be dried, so a lot of them accumulated, filling the entire yard.

"I don't know. Let's hang it somewhere else tomorrow."

After cleaning the yard for the entire afternoon, he opened two cans of food in the evening. After heating them up, he picked them up with chopsticks and let Lin Duoduo taste them first. The food left over from before a disaster is always better than what he cooks himself. It has rich and fragrant juice, and soft and delicious meat without any fishy smell.

The foul smell in the yard had not dissipated yet. She had a casual dinner in the dark. Fearing that the smell would attract something else, she went back to the house early.

Bai Xiao was glad that he had covered the window with wire, and the gaps in the lattice were not big enough for them to squeeze in.

"what are you doing?"

Lin Duoduo asked in the room, Bai Xiao was still outside.

"I'll improve it." He took the wooden board from the day, found some long nails, sat in front of the door, lit a candle, and nailed all the nails into the wooden board. Long nail tips emerged from the other end.

The nails cannot be hammered in too densely, as the denser the nails, the less lethal they are. They also cannot be too sparsely hammered in. He took long and short nails, staggered the long and short ones, and made the wooden board into a wolf-tooth board.

"Let's get a bird net and see."

Bai Xiao had seen the principle of the bird-catching net, but he didn't have much impression of it, and he didn't have any suitable materials on hand. This thing had been banned in his time, and he didn't have access to it when he worked overtime in a high-rise building.

Placing the wolf-tooth board at the door, he sat for a while looking at the night sky, then extinguished the candle and went back into the house.

Lying on the bed in the main room, this was where Lin Duoduo slept when it was incredibly hot a few days ago. Now it was not so hot, so she went back to the bedroom, which was occupied by him. She opened the window and it was very cool. As long as Lin Duoduo closed the door of her room tightly, she was not afraid of anything entering the main room at night.

After lying down for a while, Lin Duoduo came out barefoot, and Bai Xiao had to close the windows. Fortunately, it had rained for a few days and the temperature had dropped, so it wouldn't be unbearable to heat even with the doors and windows closed.

Humans and zombies were lying side by side. The bed was a little small and seemed crowded, so he could only turn sideways.

"scared?"

"I'm not afraid." She said, and in the dark she felt the bandage on his wrist. "Does it hurt?"

"You're in danger."

"Is it dangerous during the day?" "It's different."

Bai Xiao wanted to say something, he sighed, probably anyone would be scared of his current appearance, but this human was pushing towards him.

Gently patting the human's back, she gradually relaxed, her breathing became long, and she fell asleep while holding the corner of the zombie's clothes.

Cleaning up the mess in the yard in the afternoon was very tiring and she was already tired.

The zombie closed his eyes and considered whether to lock up the human with a chain and tie him up in the house, which would greatly improve safety.

As the environment became increasingly harsh, she went out less and less often. The ruins were a cage, but the cage used to be very large, and she could go to the city to scavenge.

Now, this range has become smaller and has become a real cage.

Unable to break free, unable to escape.

It was dawn, and as soon as Lin Duoduo opened her eyes, the zombie woke up. He looked at Lin Duoduo's legs resting on him. The small bed was too crowded, so half of her body was lying on top of him. He stared at the human with his eyes open.

"What are you doing?" Lin Duoduo opened her eyes and saw his big eyes.

"You really won't be startled?"

He originally thought that when he opened his eyes in the morning, he would see such a huge zombie so close to him, staring at her and drooling.

Scared her to death.

To be honest, he himself was still not used to seeing the mirror when he accidentally saw it.

"You can fall asleep with my fingers in your mouth, what do you think?"

Lin Duoduo yawned and went out. She paused when she held the door handle. After listening to the noise outside and finding nothing unusual, she slowly opened the door.

The stench in the yard had not yet dissipated. It was not only the smell of blood, but also the special smell of the blood of infected animals, which was particularly obvious in the yard in the early morning.

"It stinks." She washed her hands, took some water and flushed the yard again.

She was not used to seeing the originally clean yard become like this. She still liked the original way it was, which felt like home, and didn't want to make it dirty.

"This smell may not go away for a while." Bai Xiao's nose is more sensitive and he can smell these smells more clearly.

He could even distinguish that the stench was left by the rotten corpses of the birds, the bloody smell was left by the plump and juicy fresh monsters, and the fishy smell was left by the larger ones.

I poured some water on it and scrubbed it with a brush, then found some soil to cover the area in front of the door, and the smell was alleviated a little.

"I made you some powdered milk."

Lin Duoduo's words made the Zombie King feel that it was not him who was taking care of her, but she was taking care of himself.

"If I get any bigger, I won't look like a human anymore."

Bai Xiao finished a large cup of expired milk powder, and ate two apricots, a handful of soaked dried elm seeds, a box of canned food, half a salted fish, and a piece of bacon. He immediately felt energetic again, and finally made a cup of old coffee.

She was waiting for the end of the world, and he was waiting to become less than human.

Lin Duoduo touched the zombie's belly. It was hard and she couldn't tell whether it was full or not. She felt that the zombie was still restrained because she saw his throat move. If he was very full, the human smell would be less attractive to him.

"Lock me in the room." Lin Duoduo said.

"Why don't you just hide in there and not come out?" Bai Xiao said, "Why do I feel like you, a barbarian, are a bit perverted? Why do you have to lock me up with an iron chain?"

"Isn't it the zombies' dream to lock humans up?" Lin Duoduo tilted her head and looked at him with her dark eyes. "Wouldn't you like it this way?"
