Natural disasters + zombies (extreme heat, insect plagues, extreme cold, earthquakes, heavy rain, and other disasters followed one after another). Xie Purou had just completed her previous mission ...
After listening to Zhizi's self-narration, she almost understood that Zhizi was a person with a miserable life experience like Qingche.
But what’s strange is that, as both are zombies, why does Gardenia remember things from her life?
I looked at M80 with doubt, but it couldn't give me an answer.
Seeing her fall into a state of contemplation, Gardenia had been observing her quietly.
Gardenia asked cautiously, "Can I trust you?" With her improved appearance and skin condition after becoming a zombie, she looked somewhat pitiful on the surface.
Although she didn't know what she was referring to, Xie Purou pursed her lips and said, "Okay."
"I want to tell you everything about the King."
Now it was Xie Purou's turn to be surprised, "Why?"
"Because I want my mother to live. I want her to live among humans." Gardenia shed two lines of tears. "My mother suffered all her life. I hope she can live a better life in the future."
She may not care about the life and death of mankind, but she cannot hide with her mother while surrounded by zombies.
The hoarse voice expressed the feelings for the human mother, and Xie Pu Rou was somewhat moved.
"She will survive." Xie Pu Rou felt incredible and sympathetic that Zhizi was still thinking about her mother after she turned into a zombie.
Most parents love their children and will try their best to provide them with a good living environment. Conversely, children do the same to their parents.
Gardenia lowered her head to Xie Pu Rou and told her everything she knew about following the Zombie King.
There is some difference between the way zombies speak and humans. She spoke slowly and Xie Pu Rou listened patiently.
As he listened, he frowned. "You mean he falls into a deep sleep before every natural disaster? And he becomes different when he wakes up?"
Gardenia: “Yes.”
"I understand." Xie Purou had heard almost everything and couldn't wait to know Qingche's whereabouts: "Where is he now?"
Regarding this question, Zhizi was obviously still hesitant. Xie Purou gave her time and did not rush her, and told her to speak slowly after she had thought it through.
Zhizi finally spoke out and drew a punctuation mark on the map that Xie Puluo gave her.
Xie Purou turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Gardenia stopped her, "We're going to die, right?"
Xie Purou didn't turn around or answer.
Driving on the road in her RV, she had no construction tasks to do, and nothing to pass the time on the road, so she had to use the free time to look out the window.
M80 struggled to get on the seat next to her with his short legs, and moved closer to her furry.
【Host, are you unhappy?】
Xie Pu Rou was still staring blankly out the window, her eyes empty and unfocused.
【Is it because of the question Gardenia asked? 】
"No." The zombie issue no longer made her unhappy. She was wondering whether she could find Qingche successfully.
From then on, no matter how hard M80 tried to cheer her up, Xie Pu Rou was unhappy. She rubbed its head and held it tightly in her arms.
M80 was forced to go along to see the scenery. He was a little unhappy at first, but as he went on, he became fascinated. Like a child, he pointed out the window from time to time and told Xie Purou how beautiful the place was.
Although Xie Pu Rou felt that the outside was bare and had traces of acid rain erosion, and she couldn't figure out what was so beautiful about it, she still joined in to cheer it up.
Suddenly, M80 discovered a bright spot.
[Host, look over there! ]
Xie Purou was bored and looked over there perfunctorily, nodded casually, and exclaimed: "Wow~"
[It's not... the host! It's a zombie! Look what that zombie is doing!!!]
Xie Purou looked over carefully, but the distance was too far to see clearly. The M80 popped up a picture for her:
A female zombie was faintly visible behind the boulder, her body twisted with a bulging belly.
The zombie's level was not high, and there were blue-gray veins on its belly. Her abdomen was violently heaving, and the sound made by the zombie was creepy.
After a more intense spasm, a small figure slowly slipped out of her body.
The camera zooms in, freezing on the zombie baby's face. Its body also exhibits zombie characteristics, and it cries as soon as it is born, just like a human baby.
Its zombie mother held the baby and fed the newly born zombie baby.
After a long silence, Xie Purou chose to leave.
Arriving at the location drawn by Gardenia, Xie Purou put away the RV. She felt that this location looked familiar.
M80 tugged at her trouser leg and reminded her: [Host, it seems you've been here before.]
With its help, Xie Pu Rou remembered that she seemed to have fed Qing Che here before.
M80 got out of the car behind her, looked around, and saw nothing.
Shall we just wait here?
Xie Purou took out a table and chair and sat on it, and asked M80 to take the can to a place farther away from her to open it.
M80 opened the can and felt as if it had been insulted by something.
"What's wrong?"
[Host, I don’t think I’m very smart…]
Xie Purou waved her hand and said, "Just change 'seems to be gone' into an affirmative sentence."
【……】
M80 crouched awkwardly, physically obeying the instructions, but deep down, he questioned the method, muttering, "Zombies aren't puppies. They're supposed to come running at the sound of a can being opened? That's too insulting to zombies..."
The sound of the can opening was incredibly crisp, and a delicious aroma emanated from it. It was so close that M80 wanted to eat it.
Damn canned food! How come even the red panda's body is craving this stuff!
I secretly turned my head to take a look, and the host seemed to be staring at the sky. So I could just eat a little bit secretly...it should be okay, right?
It's definitely okay! She and the host are the best friends in the world. How can a mere zombie compare to her in the host's heart?
A slow voice came from the host's location: "Red pandas who steal food will have dark circles under their eyes."
M80 made a sad face and threw the can aside in anger: [I don't want dark circles under my eyes!]
It was because Xie Pu Rou always told herself that if she didn't sleep she would have dark circles under her eyes to hypnotize herself when she couldn't sleep. It started to think that dark circles were terrible and didn't want to have such a terrible thing at all.
The can fell to the ground with a "bang", and then the sound of footsteps came instead of the can rolling.
Looking up, Qingche appeared where the can fell and caught it steadily. His beautiful eyes stared at her with a burning look.
"elder sister……"
