This is apocalyptic

Chapter 178 Chapter 177: Leave a trace

It's chilly in the room.

Lin Duoduo was lying on the sofa covered with a quilt, her hands still a little stiff from the cold. In the past, she would have wrapped herself in a coat, put her hands in her pockets, and lit a small stove in the cottage in the village to warm herself.

This is what winter is like. Before the disaster, in the unheated room, using the computer would make your hands numb from the cold. Bai Xiao had experienced this, but now he has become a zombie. Although it is unbearably cold, he can still bear it, unlike this human.

Hearing that Lin Duoduo used his magic against him, he became unhappy and reached under the quilt.

Lin Duoduo kicked him twice and then stopped moving, allowing the zombie to touch her legs.

At least it can be a little warmer.

"You might as well touch my hand, it's cold," she said.

"Put it in and hold it for a while." Bai Xiao turned his back and gave her the collar.

Lin Duoduo put down her needle and thread, put her hands around his neck, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

"It's easy to cause a fire if you light a stove here. There's no decoration up there, so the stove can't keep the heat."

Bai Xiao realized how important the small stove was. Not only did it provide a little temperature for ignition, but it also provided hot water to drink slowly at any time. In comparison, it was difficult to bear now.

The room where the stove was built didn’t even have a window. It was sealed with layers of wire mesh, so it was ventilated but not warm.

There is no ventilation here.

"Fortunately, everything will be fine as long as I don't move around. The wind can't blow in, so I won't freeze to death." Lin Duoduo shook her head.

It's really cold when the zombies go outside and the wind blows. If she goes outside, her ears will be frozen off.

The wind was blowing outside the window, and Bai Xiao sat down on the sofa. Lin Duoduo naturally made some space for him.

He squeezed in when there was room, picked up Lin Duoduo and put her on his body, covering them with the quilt. He clamped her feet between his legs, covered her stomach with his hands, and let her sit in his arms, just like when they were in the wild, covered with a thick quilt.

It was a dark, snowy day outside.

This is actually quite good. Lin Duoduo feels that it is more comfortable than staying by the fire and stepping on his belly before, because it makes her sleepy faster. In this cold weather, it is easy to fall asleep as long as it is warm. She squinted her eyes and suddenly smiled.

Using zombies for warmth can sometimes seem absurd.

After washing, Lin Duoduo was very moist, with soft hair hanging down, smooth belly, and soft whole body. The human scent kept emanating and entering his nostrils.

He lowered his head slightly, wanting to bury his face in the human's clothes and enjoy the fragrance.

Just like when Lin Duoduo held his head to her chest before, he even suspected that this was the reason why he became more and more able to control his instincts. At first, he would drool and wet her clothes on her chest, but later it rarely happened and he would not become manic even when he smelled the scent of humans.

"I don't need to smell it to know you're horny." Lin Duoduo opened her eyes, a little surprised and a little contemptuous.

Damn zombie, it's so cold, yet it's still getting horny towards humans, how shameless.

Bai Xiao's face darkened, "If you don't keep rubbing your feet against my legs, this won't happen."

"Can't I rub the zombie's legs?" Lin Duoduo felt that the zombie's legs were very hot, and kept rubbing them gently with her little feet.

"You are seducing me. Do you know what seduction means? Rubbing a man's leg with your foot is no less than Ximen Qing pinching Pan Jinlian's foot."

"But you're a zombie."

"You can't lump zombies together, just like other zombies can't walk or run fast, but I can dismantle a car with my bare hands."

"How about you catch a female zombie next time?"

"The female zombies are all old and can't stand my going in and out so many times."

“……”Lin Duoduo hit his hand hard.

"You're that kind of perverted zombie."

This zombie can't be kept anymore.

"Are you still rubbing?" Bai Xiao frowned. This human's foot was very dishonest.

"It's a bit fun." Lin Duoduo's eyes moved and she smiled.

"Don't be horny."

"Humph."

Lin Duoduo closed her eyes and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.

Bai Xiao was thinking about how to find a stove. It was hard to find that thing in the city, and it was not easy to make one by himself. There was also no need to boil a kettle.

Rural areas have their advantages, and cities have their advantages.

"Make a few more curtains and hang them on the small room next to the stove. There are no windows over there, so make them thicker."

"By the fire over there?"

"If it's too cold, we'll have to use it." Bai Xiao said. He can still bear it now, but he's afraid of the extreme weather last year. Last year, Lin Duoduo couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and called him over to warm up by the fire. If it weren't for the stove, he might have frozen to death in the house.

“Hopefully it won’t snow so much this year.”

Lin Duoduo was looking forward to it.

Bai Xiao remained silent. People living in the ruins hoped most for good weather, peace and security, and that the environment would not get any worse. Survivors living alone had weak resistance to risks and could die at any time.

"I'm here. If you can't bear it anymore, I'll take you to the basement. It's dark there and not very safe, but it shouldn't be a big problem to spend the winter there."

Bai Xiao was lying on the sofa, Lin Duoduo was lying on top of him, and dozed off for a while under the quilt.

The cold winter is really not a good time.

By the evening, a light white layer had accumulated outside, covered by a thin layer of snow. The community was fine, but the old zombies on the street outside the community were more conspicuous against the backdrop of the snow. They were crowded and struggling, with a layer of snow on their heads and shoulders.

Bai Xiao went down and took a look around. The shallow snow was destroyed by the zombies, but the damage was only serious in this area. It would be much better if he walked a little further away.

The accumulation of snow can make many things have nowhere to hide. He observed the footprints on the snow. It had only been snowing for less than a day, so the snow was not deep and the time was short. He could not see anything for the time being. He was not in a hurry because it would snow again.

Whether it is a dangerous predator or a prey, their traces will be revealed after a heavy snowfall. Observation is a must. There is also a bottom line, just like tracking wolves before. They will not cover up their traces, and they cannot cover them up.

After moving some things from a store warehouse in the distance and walking back, Bai Xiao saw that there were foreign zombies in the zombie group, squeezed in the tide of zombies. He thought about it, went over, took it out and threw it to the periphery.

If you encounter a cat or something like that that carries an old zombie, those monsters will take it away first.

"No matter how high your rank is, you dare to sneak in."

After doing all this, he returned to the community while breathing out the cold mist, and walked around in the snow in the community, searching carefully to make sure there were no suspicious footprints before he went upstairs.

Snow will make everything visible, thus eliminating threats. This is what he learned in the mountain village.

It’s just the beginning. If the snow doesn’t stop, the traces on the snow should be very busy in a couple of days. This is an opportunity to clean up the surroundings and also to control the surrounding dynamics.

Lin Duoduo would also observe from upstairs with a telescope.

In the past, I would clear a piece of snow, spread grain and catch sparrows. But now I can’t do that anymore. If I see a bird, I can only hide.
