Ch65 - Meeting People Again?

Wei Xuan, who was carrying and hanging a bunch of heavyweight pendants, started to prepare for going out tomorrow as soon as he got home. Throwing away the steel pipes and other things that he usually carries as weapons, he is going to bring an explosion-proof ax as a weapon and tool for self-defense. Also, the rope around his and Du Hang’s waists can be replaced with the one just bought from the fire station, but it might be better to use the previous rope when sleeping tonight. The rope is thinner, and it shouldn’t be so tight when sleeping…

After finishing, they will walk around the community as a daily inspection, check the seeds in the vegetable planter by the way, and confirm that all the seeds are still fine. In a state of quietness, he took Du Hang to have dinner together, he ate food prepared by himself and also fed Du Hang some snowflakes.

Then, it was time to rest for the night.

After adjusting the rope that tied the two of them, Wei Xuan tugged a few times to make sure that it would not be easily loosened while sleeping, and after especially adjusting the knotted place to his stomach, he dragged Du Hang to go to bed.

With this rope, he didn’t believe that Du Hang’s zombie brain which hadn’t upgraded to an adult knew how to untie the rope, not to mention that after untying it, he would have to tie it back on himself which is impossible for him to do.

Lying in the arms of Du Hang, Wei Xuan smiled at him maliciously: “Du Hang, let’s see how you go out tonight.” I made a decision, and I plan to check the body of this uneasy zombie every morning, especially his hands and feet so that if he sneaks out again one day, I can find out straight away. 

In fact, after calming down and recalling it carefully, Wei Xuan remembered that not long ago he found a little blood on Du Hang’s body. He didn’t check Du Hang’s feet at that time, and he didn’t remember whether his feet were particularly dirty. But looking at it now, Du Hang likely went out that time.

Although there is still blood in the zombie’s body, because the internal organs and body functions in the body no longer function as before the zombie transformation, the blood color in their body will generally be dark brown, almost black.  But the problem is that human blood wild also turns to the same color after a long time, so Wei Xuan really can’t judge from the aftermath that the thing that Du Hang fought with is a person, zombie, or something else entirely. 

Upon waking up, before Wei Xuan got out of bed, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to rub his waist, it didn’t hurt from staring himself too much, but from the rope.

However, reality told him mercilessly—no matter how he sleeps, don’t think it will be much better if you change the place!

Opening his eyes, Wei Xuan pulled away the thin quilt to look at his waist with a depressed face, and there was a mark on the side, and the situation behind it can be imagined. So he glanced at Du Hang, who was honest as a pillow beside him, with a gloomy expression—it was all the trouble caused by this careless person! I made myself so uncomfortable!!

Du Hang also opened his eyes when Wei Xuan woke up and was looking at him with a blank and innocent expression, completely unaware that he was the cause of the depressed mood of the person in his arms.

You can’t be too entangled in living with zombies, or you will be the one to be depressed. Knowing this truth well, Wei Xuan could only get up from the bed and didn’t bother to untie the rope (in fact, the tie was not too tight, and the rope would hang relatively loosely around his waist after standing up), and directly dragged Du Hang to the bathroom.

He washed up, ate breakfast, observed the zombie couple next door to make sure they are still staying in their room, and found Uncle Du wandering around among the zombies in the neighborhood, proving that he is really different from his son, wandering around the community carelessly. After confirming that there was no special situation in the community, Wei Xuan took Du Hang with him and went out again.

This time, Wei Xuan headed toward the center of the city. Wei Xuan had been there before, but he didn’t go too deep. Yesterday, he recalled the route he took when he went there before. This time, he planned to take another road that he had never traveled before and plant some potatoes and carrots along the way.

The rope on his body has been replaced with a thicker rope of better quality that he got from the fire station yesterday. This time, because of the special hook on the rope, there is no need for Wei Xuan to tie knots at all. As long as it is stuck in a fixed position, it’s much more worry-free than before.

He took many such ropes from the fire station. Unfortunately, even if he wants to replace the zombie couple’s flimsy rope with this one, he can’t easily touch the one on the male zombie’s body, otherwise, he will be attacked by those two, so he can only let them continue to use the previous one.

Along the way, Wei Xuan observed the nearby buildings while walking, and planted potatoes in suitable places along the way. The itinerary on this road was quite leisurely.

If he encounters supermarkets and convenience markets in the community, he will go in and wander around. However, most of these small markets selling various vegetables and fruits are similar to the ones in front of his house. There are only a few types of simple stalls inside. No trace of seeds at all.

At the end of the day, he had already walked to the place where he had temporarily stayed before and where the mutated plants had been burned. But this time he didn’t take the main road that he passed last time, and deliberately bypassed the place where he had planted before, walked to a relatively narrow street, and found a three-story old-fashioned building to rest for the night. 

As he had taken a road he hadn’t previously been on and had planted potatoes and carrots along the way, it was already geting late by the time he got here. 

He took out the dinner he had prepared in advance, wiped his hands clean, and ate a simple meal – flatbread rolls, fried potato cakes, and fried ham.

There are thousands of ways to make potatoes, but the one that suits Wei Xuan’s appetite the most is the pan-fried potato pancakes, and his pancake skills are getting better and better. The pancake pan at home has been used most frequently among all kitchen utensils, even the meal in his hand is made with a baking pan.

Looking at the colorful clouds with red and golden edges in the sky, Wei Xuan observed the nearby scenery and couldn’t help sighing in a low voice: “It is geting darker earlier now… winter will start soon.” Winter after the beginning of the apocalypse was hard, even Wei Xuan, who had already prepared everything he could, have a hard time.

He remembers from his past life, for unknown reasons, the weather has become more extreme than before. The days of snow in winter have become larger and more frequent and the temperature in winter has become extremely low. Just like the T city where Wei Xuan lived, before the end of the world, the lowest temperature in this city in winter was only ten degrees below zero, and there would not be too many lowest temperatures in winter. But after the apocalypse, the temperature on normal days would be around twenty degrees below zero, and the lowest temperature could even reach minus thirty degrees in extreme snowstorms.

If it weren’t for a large number of people in the base in the previous life, and everyone usually moved all the junk home when they went out, so most people had a lot of things to burn in their homes, then the whole base would be full of dead people in the winter!

After Wei Xuan watched the sunset, had dinner, and fed Du Hang, he took out the map again to study the route for tomorrow, and then he could stop by the shops and so on. 

Wei Xuan lay in Du Hang’s arms ready to digest his food, if this guy’s body temperature is like a hot water bag, how good would it be if he could maintain a constant temperature after being roasted? That way he can use it as a warm pillow in winter, and as a cool pillow in summer…

It is very comfortable to sleep next to a cool human-shaped pillow when the weather is still hot. The rope tied around the waist is rather harsh. But now that he is away from home, Wei Xuan can’t guarantee that Du Hang will rush out recklessly if he encounters some unexpected situation.

And the roar that suddenly came out of his ears in the middle of the night was enough to prove that Wei Xuan’s precautions in advance were not wrong. Even though Du Hang had no real intention of rushing out, Wei Xuan still hugged him.

“What’s wrong?!” Wei Xuan immediately woke up from the dream, looked around nervously, and was slightly relieved after confirming that there was nothing abnormal in the room where they were resting. Then he heard, not only Du Hang in the room but also the zombies outside roaring excitedly.

“…Is there something wrong with this place?” Wei Xuan couldn’t help complaining in his heart after hearing the movement outside, and then quietly got up helplessly, holding Du Hang tightly while facing the window.

If he remembers correctly, the last time he was around here, he also met the base team who went into the city to look for supplies, right? What made him feel even more embarrassed was that the last time he found someone nearby, he was woken up by the roaring sound in the middle of his sleep. Could it be that the Feng Shui of this place is good? Is it true that even if you don’t come here by yourself, there will be living people passing by here every day? How hard it is for the zombies living around here!
