Zombie Experience Card 08

Zombie Experience Card 08

This should be a... little girl.

Tianyi, who was not attacked immediately, turned around and looked carefully.

He was about four or five years old, and his whole body was hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to distinguish him.

Only a pair of eyes with distinct black and white are particularly eye-catching.

Tianyi glanced at her disheveled hair and torn clothes and could barely determine her gender.

So far, she doesn't look like an irrational zombie.

"Big brother, are you here to pick me up?" The little girl's voice became clearer.

She squatted in Tianyi's shadow and looked up at Tianyi.

She seemed like an innocent child who posed no threat.

But it would be naive to really think of her as such.

Which normal kid could run that fast? And survive in a city like this?

So Tianyi did not respond immediately, but just looked at her carefully.

The little orange cat that was originally placed in the bicycle basket also had a serious expression, lowered its body, and stared at the little girl closely.

Just as the little girl was about to speak again, Tianyi interrupted her.

"May I have your name?"

The little girl blinked, "...My name is Nana."

"It's getting late now, Nana, would you like to go home with me?" Tianyi invited.

Nana paused for two seconds, and Tianyi's figure was reflected in her clear black and white eyes.

"Big brother wants to take me home..." Nana tilted her head and agreed, "Okay."

Because Nana responded so straightforwardly, Tianyi was slightly stunned.

Yes or no……

Too easy?

Does this mean you agree to go with me?

Is it really possible to survive in a zombie apocalypse like this?

No matter how confused Tianyi was, Nana followed him back to the small bookstore.

Nana noticed the presence of the ivy from a distance, but did not say anything.

She followed Tianyi into the small bookstore and looked around with a strange look.

In this dead city, it is rare to see such a "neat and clean" house.

Every bookshelf, every book, the bed in the room, and the simple nest and toys that Tianyi made specifically for the little orange cat.

Although many places seem a bit out of place, this small bookstore has a tranquility and vitality that is not found in other places.

Tianyi asked Nana to sit at the table in the corner, then turned around and went out to look around for a while.

When he entered the house again, he had quite a few scattered things in his hands, all of which were things that Tianyi and the little orange cat had found today.

Nana couldn't understand what Tianyi was busy with, but when she turned around, Tianyi brought a clean plate of food and placed it on the table next to Nana.

"Eat something." Tianyi said, "No matter what the world becomes, we still have to eat."

Nana looked down at the food placed in front of her.

It should be a can of meat, and I can smell a bit of meat.

Nowadays, it is not a good thing that can be easily found.

The older brother I just met gave me such a delicious thing to eat.

"Don't you want to eat?" Tianyi asked, and then he was stunned, "By the way... can you use chopsticks?"

Nana pursed her lips and said, "Nana is already six years old and can use chopsticks."

Tianyi, who didn't realize that Nana was as tall as the six-year-old, found a pair of chopsticks and gave them to her, "If you can use chopsticks, then eat."

Canned meat was one of the supplies Tianyi brought back from his search today.

The grandmother, with chopsticks stuffed in her hand, looked at Tianyi with strange eyes again, "Big brother, don't you want to eat?"

Tianyi: "Big brother doesn't eat these."

Nana frowned slightly, with confusion in her eyes, but she didn't say anything else. She just picked up a piece of meat with the chopsticks that had not been used for a long time and put it in her mouth.

It's canned meat indeed.

It tasted like the meat she had eaten before.

The smell of meat brought a smile to Nana's face, and her mood noticeably improved.

"Big brother doesn't eat canned meat, do you want to eat me as food?"

Tianyi thought he had heard wrongly, "...what are you talking about?"

Nana curled her eyes and said, "I'm a little skinny, but I should be delicious, right? But I don't know if it's as delicious as canned meat."

Tianyi thought of something not so good and frowned: "...Why do you say that?"

Nana looked at Tianyi for a moment, then lowered her eyes, "Don't you want to eat?"

For a while afterwards, Nana stopped talking.

She hid in the shadows again, quietly watching everything around her. If Tianyi's attention had not been diverted away from her, he would have ignored her existence.

It was getting dark.

Tianyi looked at the ivy again before dark, and after making sure that it was in a very stable condition, he returned to the small bookstore.

Tonight is the most "quiet" night since Tianyi traveled through so many days.

There are no zombie belching sounds;

There were no tiny, unknown footsteps;

There were no signs of hunting;

There was no rustling of creeper branches as they climbed the streets and builders.

Except for the moonlight in the sky illuminating the dead city on the ground that was like a monster, today was really different from usual.

But Tianyi still closed the doors and windows as usual, sealed all the places that needed to be sealed, and checked them repeatedly.

The small bookstore has no lights at night.

The little orange cat doesn’t need it, Tianyi doesn’t need it, and Nana obviously doesn’t need it either.

She huddled in a corner and watched Tianyi finish all this, and then set up the shelves and spread out the quilts in another corner of the bookstore.

After doing all this, Tianyi took out some water and waved at Nana.

Nana was confused for a long time before she realized when Tianyi was wiping the little orange cat's paws that Tianyi was calling her to wash up.

Wash up...

Of course you should wash yourself thoroughly before going to bed at night.

The water was cold, nothing to heat it, but it was clean.

Nana carefully put her hand in and watched the clear water cover the back of her hand.

This is another very luxurious behavior.

Nana had seen many people fighting each other for drinking water.

However, Tianyi took out such precious water to wash and keep his body clean.

Speaking of cleanliness, Nana noticed it when she saw Tianyi for the first time. Tianyi and the little orange cat were so clean that they seemed a little "out of place" with the surrounding environment.

Tianyi saw Nana staring at his hands immersed in the water, and thought that she was only six years old, so he sighed slightly.

“Can you wash yourself?”

Nana nodded, "Nana can wash it herself."

Nana took the small towel handed over by Tianyi and asked, "Big brother, do you have a lot of water?"

Tianyi thought about the well that he had cleaned out and the water level in the well that had never risen, and shook his head.

“There’s not a lot, so use water sparingly.”

Nana held the small towel and stared at Tianyi for a while. Suddenly, she rolled up her sleeves in front of Tianyi, stretched out her arms, and shouted, "Big Brother."

Tianyi turned his head and saw Nana's exposed arm.

Of course, a six-year-old's arms can't be very long.

In addition, Nana is very thin, and her outstretched arms look like small bamboo poles.

However, on this small bamboo-like arm, there was a very obvious black, red and blue scar with the skin and flesh turned over.

——It was a circle of adult’s teeth marks.

The clear teeth marks reminded Tianyi of Nana's question to him: whether she was going to be eaten as food.

But Tianyi quickly denied the idea that "Nana was treated as food by humans."

Obviously, these are the marks left by zombies.

Tianyi has seen similar marks on many zombies.

The difference is that those who were bitten by zombies turned into zombies, but Nana did not. Her body still has body temperature and her mind is clear.

These thoughts only lasted for a moment. Tianyi frowned and grabbed Nana's wrist.

Nana stared at Tianyi and smiled, "Big brother, are you scared? Do you want to beat me to death?" she asked.

It's like talking about something very normal and supposed to happen.

"What on earth is going on in your little head?" Tianyi sighed and turned around to look for any medicine that could be used.

While searching outside today, Tianyi passed by a pharmacy. In the pharmacy that was basically emptied, he still found some gauze and leftover medicines.

It wasn't obvious before, but now, Tianyi finally determined why Nana always gave him a very strange feeling.

Nana seemed to have been waiting for herself to do something very bad.

And she thought those things were just a matter of course.

Tianyi's behavior from beginning to end was beyond Nana's "expectations".

So Nana handed her arm that was bitten by a zombie directly to Tianyi.

Tianyi didn't know what Nana, who was only six years old, had experienced before she met him, but...

Tianyi used clean water to clean her grandmother's wound, which had long stopped bleeding but could not heal, and said, "What a stupid child."

Nana opened her eyes wide and whispered back, "... Nana is very smart."

"Okay." Tianyi responded perfunctorily, "You are very smart."

Nana pursed her lips, a little unhappy, and didn't want to talk to Tianyi anymore.

Tianyi ignored all this, "Can you tell me? Why did you say that I was the person your mother asked to pick you up? If you are willing to tell me."

Nana was silent for a long time, watching Tianyi clean her wound, apply some medicine on it, and find a bandage to bandage it.

While bandaging the wound, he was still muttering things like "I don't know if it will work" and "It's better to bandage it."

After Tianyi released her arm, Nana looked at the neatly bandaged arm and thought for a moment before speaking.

“Many, many days ago, many people died, and I didn’t go to the kindergarten even though I was supposed to.

"Mom and Dad were very scared...

“I don’t know what happened, but everyone became very scary.

"And then... Dad and Mom took my brother and I and ran away?"

Nana, who was obviously more mature than the average six-year-old, frowned as she recalled and thought, then tried to express what she had thought.

"But there are many people who want to escape...

“Dad and Mom couldn’t take me with them.

"And then...

“Then I was left here.”
