Ch27 - Going Home

Looking at the strange zombies, Wei Xuan, who was carefully hiding his figure behind the wall, felt lucky that the two big and one small zombies didn’t wander towards the intersection where he and Du Hang hid. But continued straight to the junction, going west.

The whole person was almost completely lying on the ground, and Wei Xuan’s chest was aching from a few pieces of gravel, but he didn’t dare to move an inch, let alone make a sound until it was confirmed that the two adult zombies had left. At this intersection, about ten minutes later, he slowly stood up and confirmed in the direction they left. Wei Xuan was relieved when he saw that there were no traces of them.

Standing up, moving his stiff joints a little, Wei Xuan decisively pulled Du Hang up and turned around and walked back, detoured again at the intersection of another small road, and walked quickly towards their home.

Can’t blame him for being timid, obviously, that little zombie didn’t do anything, why is he so nervous though? He has never seen such a zombie before! Moreover, the fear and sense of oppression brought to him by the little girl are by no means what ordinary zombies would bring to others!

For the safety of himself and Du Hang, so what if he was more cautious? He had already died at the hands of humans once in his previous life, and this time he didn’t want to die at the hands of zombies!

It wasn’t until he reached home that the feeling of tension gradually disappeared, and the whole person seemed to lose all strength. He just sat down on the floor, rested his forehead on his bent knees, and exhaled a long breath.

“…What the hell was that zombie?” I had never heard of it or seen it in my previous life. Although such a small zombie shouldn’t have much lethality… No, if its speed is fast enough, it can still pose a considerable threat. Especially for humans whose physical evolution is not as powerful as zombies.

In his previous life, Wei Xuan had never heard of this kind of zombie in the base… No, T City is so big, and the area of this little zombie is so small, otherwise who would pay close attention to what is so different about such a small zombie?

So what about the big zombie carrying it and the female zombie following them? Could it be its biological parents before the end of the world?

Right next to Wei Xuan Just when the idea of ​​Du Hang imitating his own movements was spinning in his mind, one of his hands was suddenly grabbed by Du Hang’s hand.

He raised his head to look at Du Hang in surprise, he still looked blank, and there was no extra expression on his face, he simply stretched out a hand and grabbed Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan stared at him blankly for a long time, and suddenly whispered in a somewhat dry voice: “Are you comforting me?” As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his other hand and ran his fingertips along the back of Du Hang’s hand, slowly dragging his fingers towards his face and then his hair as he does occasionally.

To Wei Xuan’s surprise again, Du Hang suddenly stretched out the hand that was not held together, placed it on the side of Wei Xuan’s head, and followed the motion of touching his hair clumsily. Because Wei Xuan also wore a hat, the clumsy Du Hang didn’t have the ability to avoid such obstacles, so in fact, what he touched was Wei Xuan’s hat.

But even so, even if he was simply imitating Wei Xuan’s actions stupidly and rigidly, it still made Wei Xuan’s heart inexplicably warm and excited. His lips trembled a little, and he stared straight at Du Hang with wide eyes in surprise. He even forgot the movements of his hands. He stretched out his arms without moving for a long time, and then he smiled and said in a somewhat excited and trembling voice: “Will you will get better… you definitely will! Even if you are still a zombie, even if you still regard human flesh as the first choice on the menu after many years, you will definitely slowly regain human consciousness…”

Even if he still failed in the end, Du Hang is still a little different than others, a semi-zombie as guessed by scientists, and Wei Xuan will work hard for that possibility until he can no longer persist in this apocalypse.

But even if the final result is really like that, Wei Xuan will choose to become a zombie before death, and still have to work hard to stay by Du Hang’s side.

Closing his eyes and calming down his agitated mood, Wei Xuan leaned over and kissed Du Hang gently on his face, who was already less than 20 centimeters away from him: “Thank you, I’m fine now!” “Yes, it’s all right, so what if that little zombie is special and terrifying? This city is huge, and I have my own plans and arrangements.” Unless the zombie accidentally conflicts with him, Wei Xuan will never ask for trouble by confronting it.

—————————————————————

This night, Wei Xuan slept very deeply. In the past few days, he has been busy, busy cleaning up the newly selected residence, busy moving all the things that may be damaged by water to a higher room, busy cleaning up garbage, busy going out to find medical alcohol and other things. Yesterday, he met that little zombie exuding a terrifying aura, so it was normal for him to get up late the next day.

After opening his eyes, Wei Xuan found that the time had already reached 10:23, and if he slept a little longer, he would only have lunch when he got up.

He yawned and rubbed off the remaining sleepiness on his face. Wei Xuan looked at Du Hang, who had long been accustomed to being his pillow, and smiled at him: “I didn’t sleep for two days in a row. Right?”

Wei Xuan hurried into the bathroom to solve his personal problems, and after washing up a bit, he turned back to the living room calmly and pulled Du Hang who was waiting at the door of the bathroom to sit on the sofa. He then went to the kitchen to prepare today’s breakfast and lunch.

He prepared some simple instant noodles. Although he has been a little tired of eating this food recently, there are other things to be busy with today, and it is not time to make complicated food.

After seeing that terrifying zombie yesterday, Wei Xuan thought to just completely seal off the gate of the community to prevent any suspicious zombies from entering, and just stay in the house like this with Du Hang for the rest of their lives. 

But this kind of extremely cowardly thought just passed by in a flash, and when he calmed down, Wei Xuan dismissed this idea.

Not to mention the lethality of that little zombie, even if it is so terrifying that it can stare at people to death, can’t you run if you have legs?

What’s more, we don’t know its range of activities yet, so why is Wei Xuan so nervous to avoid the other party?

Of course, preparations still need to be made, but we can’t get confused because of this, otherwise, if we just focus on guarding against that little zombie and ignore other problems, there may be even bigger troubles in the future.

After all, who made Wei Xuan never hear anything related to that little zombie in his previous life?

A large bowl of braised beef instant noodles, half a box of luncheon meat, plus a few small pieces of bread with a long shelf life, and some pickles are Wei Xuan’s meal this morning.

After quickly clearing away the food, he took out his notebook again to sort out the things that need to be dealt with urgently, and then Wei Xuan climbed the stairs with his own zombies.

The rain has stopped since midnight the day before yesterday, and the wind and sun all day yesterday evaporated a lot of water vapor in these large basins connected to the roof. Fortunately, Wei Xuan prepared a lot of large basins, vats, and various types of containers on the roof of the house, and the rainwater received is enough for him to use for a long time.

And from a long time ago, Wei Xuan had already recorded the locations of all the surrounding water shops, and with the help of Du Hang’s extraordinary physical strength, he carried back many jugs of pure water. So for the time being, he wouldn’t personally face a water crisis.

But even if there is still clean water, the hard-earned rainwater must not be wasted. The dirty particles in the rainwater have completely sunk to the bottom. Wei Xuan collected the relatively clean water from the upper layer with the plastic buckets and stored them in some empty water bottles he had. They were tossed in the corridor on the sixth floor, and then slowly transported back to the empty room downstairs with Du Hang’s strength.

Collecting the water is a big project. One person and one zombie worked hard for a whole morning, and it was not until nightfall that they could barely finish.

Those vats and pots on the roof are left in place to continue collecting rainwater when it rains next time. Of course, for the sake of sanitation and safety, Wei Xuan will come up regularly to clean up the dust and debris inside.
