This is apocalyptic

Chapter 156: Intersection

The dead have rested in peace, and the survivors will continue to move forward in this changed world.

What will the world look like in the end?
Lin Duoduo thought for a while but couldn't come up with an answer.

But now she has become an outlier.

In the current environment, zombies and monsters are one and the same, and in this messy mountain village, a human being has become the only alien.

Perhaps we should also add the rabbit with red eyes, one of the few animals that was not infected.

After dinner, the zombie was looking for a syringe he had picked up in the city. Lin Duoduo watched him and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Maybe we can consider artificial insemination to see if those newly infected animals can successfully give birth to puppies." Bai Xiao said.

Two question marks appeared on Lin Duoduo's forehead, and her confused and silly face made Bai Xiao laugh.

"You mean..." she asked hesitantly.

"I can hold them down with one hand, and then use this." The Zombie King picked up the syringe, "Draw it out and inject it in again."

Lin Duoduo looked up for two seconds after hearing that, as if she was thinking about what kind of horrible and unimaginable scene that was. When she looked at the zombie king again, there was awe in her eyes, "Are you sure you want to... um... it will bite you."

"I'll hold its mouth down and tie its mouth shut."

"This is so...Are you sure you won't create another monster?"

Lin Duoduo thought for two seconds and said, "I don't think this is a good idea."

She looked at the smoke and flames in the distant mountains and the gloomy sky, then looked at the Zombie King, who was also looking at her.

After a while, Bai Xiao put down the syringe and said, "Okay, I understand your concern."

He and the human sat under the eaves, leaning against each other, looking at the sky that was getting darker and darker. Lin Duoduo held his hand and put her hand on his thick big hand, and the two hands, one big and one small, gestured with each other.

“Your hands are so big.”

"Your hands are so small."

Compared with zombies' hands, human hands are indeed small, and Bai Xiao felt like he was holding a piece of slightly cold pork.

"We have to adapt to this world." The zombie closed his eyes, patted Lin Duoduo's back, and hummed an unknown tune.

Adapt to a changing world.

Lin Duoduo didn't say anything. She rubbed her face against the zombie's shoulder and leaned against the strong zombie. She didn't think about anything but just enjoyed this moment of leisure.

There was a smell of black ash and burnt hair on his body, which were all stained by the monsters that fled in panic during the day. The stench after being burned by fire was very obvious, and the zombies would also smell bad when hugging them.

The big zombie and the small human sat there until almost dark. Lin Duoduo suddenly wanted to bite the zombie. It was an inexplicable urge, and she didn't know where it came from. She even wondered if she had turned into a monster.

"Have I become less human too?" Lin Duoduo was a little worried about this.

"You can't bite me, but I can give you my foot skin to eat." Bai Xiao said.

Lin Duoduo looked at him with vague eyes.

This zombie really holds a grudge. It was because he always drooled at humans that he made this good suggestion, but he didn't appreciate it and even mocked her. "Well... that won't work either. I don't know if it will be infected. I should feed a piece to the rabbit first and see how it goes." The zombie considered.

The human knocked on the zombie's iron helmet and hurt his hand. Bai Xiao took off the helmet and said, "Now knock it."

"No more knocking."

"Once the wildfire over there is extinguished, we will have a better winter." Bai Xiao held her in his arms and pointed to the distance, "It will take many years for that place to return to its original state. Before that, only grass will grow. I will tie you up in the house by then.

In early winter, I will burn the fields. I can do what you and the old lady cannot do. I can do ten of you. Do you know what this is called? This is called the future. "

As the night deepened, there were no stars in the sky and the inky black night enveloped the area.

“I can sing, too.”

"is it?"

"Two tigers, two tigers..."

Lin Duoduo hummed softly. This was a children's song that was widely circulated before the disaster. She had learned it when she was very young.

It's short, so easy to remember.

She didn't know when she fell asleep, and Bai Xiao carried her back to the house.

Then he went outside, groped in the dark against the well to wipe off the black ash on his body, then sat back and looked at the fire in the distance.

Future, this is a word rarely heard in the ruins.

The chirping of insects in the grass became less frequent, and there was wind blowing at night. Everything was different now compared to when he was still practicing speaking under the shed.

Bai Xiao exercised in the dark, drank some red wine, then sat there wrapped in clothes waiting to continue hunting tomorrow. The number of animals forced out by the fire was getting smaller and smaller, and they were driven farther away as planned.

It rained a little in the second half of the night, but it stopped soon and the ground was not very wet. When it got light, there was no sign that it had rained the night before.

Before Lin Duoduo woke up, he went to the rabbits to see if they had eaten well. The grass he put down yesterday showed signs of being chewed, but not completely eaten. Instead, there were several holes on the ground. This made Bai Xiao realize that the rabbits could no longer be kept here.

If you keep them for another day, they will disappear.

Time passes day by day.

The place that was initially ignited now only emits smoke, but no flames can be seen. The black debris floating in the air is also decreasing, but thick smoke is still billowing from the depths. He goes there every day to see what it looks like after the raging fire.

After a fire, the wasteland looks like a wasteland. This dark desolation is much better than the city full of zombies but lush and green. At least it doesn't look so depressing. After the ashes comes new life, but the lush city has no hope at all. It just grows wildly and luxuriantly, eroding the traces left by people before the disaster.
-
Under the gray sky, a car was driving on a country road. It was completely black and came to this ruin where civilization had been lost many years ago and there were no more industrial cars.

There are no usable cars in the ruins, and no available fuel. Their fragile bodies could not stop the zombies of that year. In the long time after the disaster, cars to the people of this land were just abandoned iron shells scattered everywhere. They were rusted by wind and rain, and even the underground parking lots in the city were all scraps that could no longer be started.

The people in the car looked out the window at the thick smoke in the distant mountains. The car was quiet, no one spoke or made a sound, only the roar of the engine.

The road, which had not been maintained for many years, raised a cloud of dust behind the car.

It was coming slowly but steadily in the direction of the smoke.
