This is apocalyptic

Chapter 8 008: Zombies are coming

No matter what dangers lie outside the walls.

The danger he brought was quite scary, and he didn't know why the other party brought him back.

It can't be that he can sing and is an infected person who can hum songs.

On the eighth day, I was still conscious, which was good.

Before the sun rose, after breakfast, the man came with a bamboo basket on his back and a gun in his hand, looking like he was ready to go out.

Before she left, she looked back at the zombie reading a book and pointed to the pile of unchopped firewood under the shed. Her meaning was very clear.

Bai Xiao put down the book in his hand.

Have a zombie chop wood.

Too much.

It rained heavily yesterday, but it stopped at night. Today looks like a good day, so I’ll chop the firewood and dry it in the sun.

"An." Bai Xiao said.

The other person rolled up her sleeves and squatted on the ground to tie her trouser legs. She looked very neat. When she heard the zombies making noises, she looked up while tying her trouser legs.

"All." Bai Xiao nodded. The zombies have been trying to regain their ability to speak.

She raised her eyelids, smiled, stood up, waved her hand, and opened the door carrying the bamboo basket on her back.

If it weren't for the gun in his hand, he would look like a little medicine boy going out to collect herbs.

Bai Xiao straightened his back and looked towards the door. He was a little curious about what was outside the yard.

The door was opened and there seemed to be a fence outside, which was made of two rows of wooden stakes and extended about ten meters. You could see what was happening outside through the gaps in the fence.

This can effectively avoid being killed by opening the door, in case a zombie happens to be lying outside the door and hears the noise when the door is opened and pounces on it - with this buffer, you can easily observe whether there is any danger outside the door after opening it.

Bai Xiao immediately saw its purpose, but if he had not seen it, he would not have thought of this thing. It looks simple, but it is practical.

An intelligent human being.

Bai Xiao watched her leave with the bamboo basket on her back, then turned around and closed the door. After a slight clang, the yard became quiet.

He wiped his saliva, sat for a moment, stood up and went to the other side where the wood was piled, picked up the axe, and while chopping the wood he noticed the wire wrapped around the shed pillars.

He stared at the wire for a while, then looked at the door and lowered his head to concentrate on chopping wood.

The morning passed in a flash.

When the other party came back, a lot of firewood had been chopped. It was just past noon, and compared to when she went out in the morning, she was covered in mud and looked dirty. Her hair stuck to her cheeks, and there were some traces of sweat.

The backpack was very heavy and it made a dull thud when she put it down.

She dug up a lot of wild roots. There seemed to be a lot of them in this season. They tasted like sweet potatoes. They could be eaten raw or cooked in porridge or congee.

It was freshly dug and she took one directly after washing it. It made a very crisp sound.

It rained yesterday, and the soil has become soft, making it easy to dig food from the soil. Bai Xiao thought of where he used to live. People in the mountains dug bamboo shoots, and it was easy to have a good harvest after the rain. Not only were the soil soft and easy to dig, but bamboo shoots would pop up in large numbers after a night of rain.

Unexpectedly yet reasonably, the other party continued to take out a few large bamboo shoots from the backpack. Bai Xiao was a little happy, thinking that he would probably have bamboo shoots to eat tonight.

She sat down to take a breath, chewing some wild roots while taking the basin and placing it next to the well. She poured a bowl of water into the well and then held the wooden pole next to it and pressed hard.

After pressing it about ten times, water started to flow out of the pipe.

Bai Xiao looked at the place where water came out. He vaguely remembered that it was a very ancient water pressure well that used physical methods to pump up water. He didn't expect that such an ancient thing existed.

He thought of the pedal tricycle, the bicycle, the homemade gun, and this hard-to-describe well. Could this be the late 1970s or 1980s?
Bai Xiao couldn't help but wonder, if this was the case, without so many steel jungle cities in later generations, and most of the time still being rural areas rather than building security doors, zombies would be indeed scary.

While he was still thinking, his thoughts were interrupted by a voice that sounded vaguely familiar yet unfamiliar. Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, listened carefully, and then his expression immediately became serious.

Weiwei felt familiar because he had heard it before: he had heard his own roar. But he felt strange because the sound was not coming from him now - zombies were attacking from outside the courtyard wall.

The fresh human was still washing the food in her backpack, unaware of the approaching danger.

Zombies are looking for food.

Bai Xiao was a little anxious and shook the chain. The sound of the chain attracted her attention. She did not stop her hands but just glanced over.

"Danger."

Bai Xiao said, he pointed in that direction, there is now one, or even more than one zombie outside the wall.

He pointed at the wall, then at her gun.

The reminder should be obvious.

She glanced at it, lowered her head and continued to wash the wild roots.

Bai Xiao was anxious, are you deaf? There are zombies!
"Shh..."

Maybe it was because Bai Xiao made too much noise, so she put her index finger to her mouth, signaling him to be quiet, while not forgetting to take another bite of the wild root.

"It will go away by itself after a while." She said. Seeing that Bai Xiao seemed a little anxious, she sighed, broke off half of the wild root, and threw the unbitten half to him.

That casual look is both chic and cool.

It's just not very safe.

Bai Xiao was very scared. Why was the other party so calm?

There are zombies attacking outside the wall. Why is he, a zombie, so scared while she, a human, is so calm?
This doesn't make sense.

Could it be that this small courtyard is some kind of solid high-tech fortress that is extremely safe, but he didn't see it?

Bai Xiao was in a daze.

The zombies outside the yard were still roaring, and were a little violent. There was no way she couldn't have failed to hear them.

The sound lasted for more than an hour and gradually weakened. She had already washed the backpack and the food she had dug up, fetched a basin of water, took off her coat, and cleaned the mud and dust on her body.

She was quietly doing her thing, the zombies were calling zombies, and Bai Xiao was getting anxious.

It seems as if the three are in three different worlds and do not disturb each other.

"What the hell are you looking at?" She wiped her neck with a cloth, and when she saw Bai Xiao staring at her, she raised her eyebrows:
"You're a zombie."

The zombies outside the wall screamed hoarsely, and she hummed a little tune in a subtle voice and wiped the water droplets from her hair.

Bai Xiao looked at this absurd and unreal scene and sat back silently.

he thinks.

At this time, he should make a cup of coffee, sit at his desk, enjoy the afternoon sun, do some work on the computer, watch his colleagues share some interesting things, and occasionally touch the fish.

Instead of becoming a zombie, listening to the screams of another zombie outside the wall, and watching a human working in this dangerous world.

Bai Xiao misses his previous life.

Now that I think about it, even the client who kept changing the requirements and the hairy colleagues have become cute in my memory - at least cuter than zombies.
