Ch53 - Unnecessary Worry

Looking around by the window, after confirming that the group of people on the opposite side will not leave for a while, and will not wander around to his hiding place to collect supplies, Wei Xuan turned and returned to the middle of the room. He started to give these uneducated zombies a lesson. 

“Human flesh doesn’t taste good, it will cause a stomach ache.” Wei Xuan solemnly preached in a very serious tone.

The three zombies still had ferocious expressions, and their eyes were basically in the direction of the window. They knew very well that as long as they jumped out from there, they could rush to the opposite side to eat meat.

“And eating too much human flesh will affect your IQ, and make you farther and farther away from the path of intelligence and consciousness.” Although Wei Xuan was having a headache because of the arrival of those survivors, it was obvious that his mood at this time was very good, so good that he squatted there lecturing.

The three zombies still fixed their eyes on the direction of the window. However, there is an extra rope tied to their bodies at this time, connecting them to the handle of the rear door. They can’t mindlessly rush out the window, jumping nearly twenty stories, unless they take the initiative to break the rope.

“So, as a zombie with aspirations, as you who want to become intelligent, charismatic, and aim at half-zombies, don’t drool at those poor people who go to the city to find supplies. Unless there are people with water abilities to provide them with water for bathing and cleaning all year round, otherwise… think about the bad smell…” Wei Xuan felt disgusted as he spoke. Whenever he sweats when he goes out to collect supplies, he would despise himself when he isn’t able to clean himself that night before he rests. 

Thinking again about the sad days he had spent in the base in his previous life… If the clean freaks want to survive in the apocalypse, they must either completely abandon their previous personal hygiene habits, or simply commit suicide, otherwise, they will not be able to survive.

The three zombies don’t have any idea about people’s personal hygiene, so they continued to drool toward the window with a constant growl. 

Wei Xuan sighed—of course, he knew he was talking nonsense, but at this moment he was in a good mood and had nothing else to pass the time, so he squatted there just l teasing these three guys.

Seeing the pair of zombies squatting together with highly synchronized expressions facing the window, Wei Xuan raised the corners of his mouth in a good mood. In the middle of the night last night, what surprised him the most was that the pair of zombies followed him out of there. They are willing to give up the pursuit of food in order not to break the rope…

At this time, on the opposite side of this wide road, the teams that rushed into T city and came to collect supplies were busy.

They chose to rush into the urban area in the middle of the night not because they had learned about the habits of the zombies in the city and chose that time, but because they encountered zombies in the middle of the trip to T City. It took more than half a day to get rid of those zombies, which led to the fact that it was completely dark when they arrived.

Although they attracted a lot of zombies because of their arrival, they didn’t dare to turn on the lights and they searched for supplies in the dark. After all, they don’t have much energy to turn on the lights all night, so they first built fortifications, and then worked hard to clean up the surrounding zombies. After cleaning up the zombies, they decided to rest until dawn, then they started to get busy again. 

“Second brother! This shop has solar panels!”

“Really!”

“Move away, move away, move away! This is a good thing, we can’t even exchange for it at the base!”

A group of people excitedly loaded all the solar panels and batteries left by Wei Xuan into the car. Before they only cared about wandering around the store building and got a lot of boards, fabrics, and other such items, although those things were also soaked by rainwater, clothes, and the like could still be used after washing. As long as things like boards were dried in the sun, they were good fuel for cooking fires, so they naturally had to look for them first.

Unexpectedly, they accidentally found a shop for solar panels!

For a while, Wei Xuan went in and out of that shop and he left a lot of traces. It was originally an intact shop. However, as many shops around were visited by the survivors who fled the city in the early days of the apocalypse, the traces they left behind were more obvious. Besides, who can you tell from the traces left behind when someone came?

Therefore, Wei Xuan did not specifically deal with the traces left by his party, and he was not worried about what would be seen by others. Could it be that other survivors were not allowed to come here to collect things?

A group of people happily carried out a large-scale collection. Some of them with stronger combat effectiveness and more accurate marksmanship are specially responsible for keeping an eye on the surroundings to prevent zombies from breaking in, while the rest concentrate all their strength to search for everything that can be taken away.

Wei Xuan first squatted upstairs and ate instant noodles, and then quietly observed the situation on the other side after he was full. When he saw some people tearing down the composite wood doors of some shops, he couldn’t help sighing. Bringing it back to the base can not only be used as firewood when needed but also can be used as a bed board at ordinary times. Apart from the ugly pattern on it, it is really easy to use, and it is one of the most popular items in the base…

“Hmm… that door shouldn’t be dismantled now, I remember there are two stores that specialize in anti-theft doors.” Wei Xuan observed from a distance, and couldn’t help but recall some things he experienced in the base in his previous life.

It’s just that although he still has those memories, they are not as deep as when he was with Du Hang. It’s like a distant and old movie. Even if he can recall it, it’s still a bit hazy.

The people downstairs seemed to be busy for a while, Wei Xuan turned around and walked back to the door of the room, and retied the ropes from the handle to his own waist. He then walked back to the living room and came to Du Hang’s side.

Du Hang, who was roaring, raised his head to look at Wei Xuan because of his approach. Although Du Hang still bared his teeth and instinctively let out a terrifying sound in his throat, his gaze toward Wei Xuan was not as ferocious as the other two zombies.

Seeing Du Hang who was fighting against instinct while welcoming him, Wei Xuan couldn’t help but smile again. Without waiting for Du Hang to take the initiative to pull him like a few days ago, Wei Xuan directly bent down and sat in Du Hang’s arms, resting his head on Du Hang’s shoulder. He raised his hand and pressed on Du Hand’s mouth, as if coaxing a child he said in a hushed voice: “I won’t be able to sleep if you keep doing that. Be good, try to lower your voice…don’t yell anymore, okay?”

It is not too important for Du Hang not to make a sound, but now, when facing Du Hang who is becoming more and more humane, Wei Xuan hopes to make him change a little bit more so that he can be more like a person. Being a little bit more human can control some instincts more.

What Wei Xuan didn’t even think of was that after he put his palm near Du Hang’s mouth, as if he was afraid that his teeth would hurt Wei Xuan, Du Hang closed his mouth as much as possible while growling in a low voice. And although there was still that deep voice in his throat and nasal cavity that could not be restrained, it didn’t sound so scary anymore!

Du Hang’s reaction gave Wei Xuan surprise. He was surprised for a moment, then laughed, and excitedly went up to him and kissed his cheek as a reward: “Not bad, good progress!” Being able to choose to not bite the human hand in front of his mouth and avoiding hurting Wei Xuan… This made Wei Xuan extremely happy and excited.

But Du Hang, who was kissed by Wei Xuan, seemed to suddenly lose interest in looking out the window, and turned his head down to stare at Wei Xuan’s face.

Wei Xuan can judge from the still uncontrollable low growls of the two zombies not far behind – the group of people outside must not have gone far. Du Hang only looked at himself but ignored those outside…

Just thinking about it, Wei Xuan’s heart was filled with emotion again. 

So, Wei Xuan raised his head and gave Du Hang’s cheek another kiss.

As he was in thought, Du Hang suddenly lowered his head and directly stuck his chin, nose, and mouth onto Wei Xuan’s forehead…

This impact made Wei Xuan’s forehead feel very familiar… he remembers feeling it before. That one time, Du Hang gave himself such a sudden blow to his forehead. But considering that he doesn’t have human common sense and can’t control his strength well, such a violent “forehead kiss” will be forgiven by Wei Xuan.

So Wei Xuan just put his arms around the back of Du Hang’s neck with a slightly distorted expression, without any intention of pushing him away. Anyway, now they are connected by ropes, so even if he becomes a zombie, he doesn’t have to worry about getting lost. 

But having said that, it is understandable for two zombies to be connected—either lovers or relatives and close friends. But four zombies? They’re all men… What would people think if they turned into zombies and wandered like that? Having four zombies connected by rope?
