Chapter 6464
"Give it to me, I'll put it on for you."
Xue Ling was a little reluctant. She felt that she didn't look good now and it would look weird to wear this.
But she also knew that if she said it out loud, Wen Jiuze would sneer at her and force her to wear it, and the outcome would be the same.
So she skipped the argument and simply took the necklace out of the box with two fingers.
She wanted to ask, the clasp on the back of the necklace is difficult to fasten, whether Wen Jiuze can do it with his hands.
Suddenly noticed his hands.
The skin and flesh of a zombie will gradually become very hard, so hard that even a knife cannot cut the skin, but Wen Jiuze's hands have many more wounds.
There were scratches on the back of the hand and the palm, and the skin on the thumb and index finger was worn away, revealing the dark red flesh underneath, like a tree trunk with a piece of bark peeled off.
Xue Ling took his hand and looked at it carefully, touching and poking his fingers with her sharp nails, then raised her eyes and looked at him quietly.
Although he didn't say anything, what he wanted to ask was clearly written in his eyes.
Wen Jiuze held both of her hands tightly with one hand and poked the tablet with the other hand.
"I got this from doing a mission in Donghai City. It doesn't hurt or itch."
He completed his mission in Donghai City so quickly and without any fuss, just dismantling everything directly, which would make even the strongest man lose weight.
Not only on his hands, he used explosives many times and almost got buried and hit by flying debris.
But zombies are indeed convenient. As long as the wound is not big, it will dry up quickly without even a drop of blood. It can be covered with clothes and there will be no problem.
In the past, I would feel pain when I got injured, but now it doesn’t hurt, and it’s hard to notice any injuries on my body.
At first, Wen Jiuze didn't notice that the skin on his hands was worn off. When he went to the river to wash them, he washed away the dust and stains on the outside, but the dark color on the fingertips could not be washed away. After a careful look, he found that the skin had been worn off and the flesh was exposed.
These hands, already scarred when they were human, are even rougher now.
Xue Ling looked uncomfortable and leaned against his chest.
Wen Jiuze shook his tablet and urged, "Bring the necklace first."
Xue Ling hit him hard in the chest with his head.
Wen Jiuze took the ruby necklace from her hand and put it on her.
The buckle was indeed very small and troublesome, and Wen Jiuze took a long time to put it on.
During the whole process, Xue Ling just leaned her head against his chest, as if she was facing a wall to reflect on her mistakes.
Wen Jiuze pushed her and said, "Get up. Stop feeling sorry for me and feel sorry for yourself."
He's as thin as a monkey.
When did Wen Jiuze start to notice that Xue Ling had become thinner?
It's from last winter.
He was her closest person. They were together day and night and inseparable most of the time. Wen Jiuze even noticed her changes faster than Xue Ling herself.
But Wen Jiuze didn’t understand why this change happened.
He could do nothing but watch.
Wen Jiuze can do many things, but he never thinks he is great because he always fails in what he really wants to do.
"You promised to keep it a secret from me. Tell me when I get back. Tell me now."
After all, Xue Ling was not as stubborn as Wen Gou. She took her time to take out her tablet, found a PPT and let him read it himself.
She made the PPT on the road and it went through several rounds of refinement. It not only explained her own situation, but also included a large part of advice to Wen Jiuzhe not to act impulsively, especially not to try to bite people and achieve the same result as her.
Wen Jiuze lowered his head to flip through the PPT, and Xue Ling took advantage of this opportunity to secretly look at her neck through the car window to see the necklace hanging on it.
In fact, it doesn't look ugly when hanging around her neck. At least the necklace is still very beautiful. The translucent gems are very textured, and it looks like flowing blood when it shakes.
She was reluctant to wear it just now, but now that she has put it on, Xue Ling feels a little happy.
After Wen Jiuzhe finished reading it, he looked very calm, without any sign of going crazy.
Xue Ling stopped peeking at the car window and started peeking at him instead.
Wen Jiuzhe asked, "Is there anything else you want now?"
Xue Ling was shocked. Did he accept the reality? Did he even start to provide end-of-life care?
"Want a medal?"
Xue Ling shook her head: "I don't want a medal, I just..."
The "just" on the tablet paused, and nothing appeared for a long time.
Wen Jiuze added: "You just want more people to remember you?"
Xue Ling thought about it and it seemed to be so.
When she was alive, all she wanted was to study hard, take the postgraduate entrance examination and the civil service examination after graduation, have a stable career, and maybe have a family in the future.
She would plan for the future and imagine what she would look like in middle age and old age.
After becoming a zombie, everything came to a standstill. She felt that she no longer had a future and no longer thought about the future. She just lived day by day.
I spent a long time alone in the last three years of the apocalypse, without any communication with any living people, as if I had been forgotten by the human world that I was most familiar with before.
Maybe that's what caused her current mentality: wanting to be seen, wanting to be accepted, wanting to be remembered.
After realizing that her indefinite death time had turned into a finite life, she could no longer maintain her previous calmness and began to desperately hope to do something and leave something behind.
She feels satisfied that she can contribute her own strength.
If she died as a zombie, she would not be despised, but would be missed by people she knew.
There is also Wen Jiuze. If they complete their mission, they will be accepted by the base and treated preferentially.
Now she has a place to stay and doesn't have to wander around. She doesn't have to hide from people like she used to. She can walk among the crowd openly and be respected.
She wanted a medal, but she didn't want the honor itself, she wanted a certificate that could give her peace of mind.
"Medals of merit, certificates of honor, awards... I want them all." Xue Ling typed.
"You are quite greedy." Wen Jiuze grabbed her neck and said, "Let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"Go and earn you some 'little red flowers'."
They went to participate in the zombie cleanup activity in the ancient city of Longan.
The soldiers began to clear the city from the ancient gates entering the city, and then they went from the other direction.
When Wen Jiuze took out the dynamite, Xue Ling grabbed his hand in shock.
"Using explosives is quick and easy." Wen Jiuze thought it would be simple and easy to lure all the zombies around into a yard and then drop the explosives.
Xue Ling didn't realize it.
The ancient buildings in the ancient city of Longan have stood here for hundreds of years and are very exquisite and beautiful. They were well maintained before the end of the world. It is a pity to blow them up like this. There are obviously other ways.
What a pity? Wen Jiuze didn't feel sorry for blowing up the famous landmark and the famous building in Donghai City. What does it have to do with him?
But Xue Ling refused to give in. He took back the explosives and prepared to shoot them one by one.
Xue Ling had something else to say: "Don't waste bullets. Everyone is tightening their belts to use these bullets. We need to be more economical."
Wen Jiuze: "Then what do you say we should do?"
Xue Ling has plenty of solutions.
She is also good at making use of local materials, but unlike Wen Jiuze who is extravagant, she is frugal and manages the household well.
There are various exhibition museums in Longan Ancient City, all of which are used as ancient architectural courtyards. Glass cabinets are used to display banknotes, account books, silver from previous dynasties, as well as swords and weapons.
Xue Ling took out a gong.
A gong that makes a loud noise when you hit it with a stick.
The "clang clang" sound echoed in the ancient city, attracting the zombies from the surrounding area.
Wen Jiuze took out a large roll of hemp rope from the display cabinet and put it on the zombies around him, one by one, forming a long rope.
Xue Ling walked in front and struck the gong, while Wen Jiu followed behind, pulling the rope and dragging a string of zombies to the empty street corner.
Then, Xue Ling instructed him to use the machete he had taken out from the exhibition cabinet to pin the zombies against the tree stumps and chop off their heads one by one.
She was the one who caused the "Wu Men Beheading".
Wen Jiuze took the knife and gestured at the zombie's neck, then looked at Xue Ling.
Such an innocent face, she didn't seem to notice anything wrong with the scene.
She suddenly remembered something, made a pause gesture, took out a pair of large gloves from her bag, and asked Wen Jiuze to put them on.
This way it won't hurt your hands too much.
Xue Ling continued to press the zombie down with satisfaction.
Seeing Wen Jiuze holding the knife without moving, she poked the tablet in confusion and asked, "Is the knife too blunt? Do you think it can't cut it?"
"How about I sharpen it first to make it sharper?"
Wen Jiuze twitched his brows and started to act as the executioner.
After a while, the chopping movements become just mechanical ones, and sometimes you even feel like you're chopping wood.
After chopping off a batch of zombies, Xue Ling carried the gong and took Wen Jiuze with them, and continued to walk through the streets, randomly catching some zombies to "chop off".
Everywhere they passed, every slightly open intersection, was filled with corpses and dead bodies.
There were some curious warriors in the team who were observing the situation on their side through telescopes on the high city walls and were shocked by this brutal scene.
Zombies are beheading zombies!
The soldiers who were more familiar with Xue Ling sighed: "That Wen Jiuze is so cruel. When he came, he and Xue Ling became scary."
The soldiers who came with Captain Shen Zhang had seen Wen Jiuze's indifference and non-cooperation. They sighed: "Wen Jiuze is really scary. He can come up with such a method to deal with zombies. It's too cruel."
By comparison, he had just ignored them before, which was already very friendly.
"By the way, brother, what's it like when Xue Ling follows you on a mission? Is he ignoring you, too?"
"How could that be? Xue Ling is a very nice person. He even brings us gifts when we are on a mission. Last time, he found a big ham as a snack for our team!"
"The team's cook, Lao Zeng, said the pot was not working well before, so she went on a mission and brought back a new pot. Lao Zeng said that pot worked great."
Soldiers in Shen Zhang's team: "..."
Is there such a big difference between our foreign players and other teams' foreign players?
The news that Xue Ling and Wen Jiuze were catching zombies and beheading them all over the city spread quickly throughout the team of several hundred people.
Every day, people secretly observe through telescopes and then exclaim in amazement.
Even Wen Yi, who was immersed in research, heard about it.
"So many zombies' heads have been chopped off, how do you have time to come to me?" Wen Yi glanced at Wen Jiuze who was blocking the door and reminded him, "Move aside, you're blocking the light."
This is the bad thing about ancient buildings: they don’t have enough light.
"Do you have any idea about Xue Ling's situation?" Wen Jiuze asked in a hoarse voice.
Wen Yi buried her head, writing without stopping, and said, "You people just like to make trouble. Earlier you refused to let me study Xue Ling's situation, and now you want me to save her. How can I save her when I don't know anything? Do you think I'm a god?"
Wen Jiuze was silent for a long time, and then said, "It can't be that she is suffering. Research, other things are OK."
Wen Yi said sarcastically, "I thought you were going to bite someone yourself, and then let me study you first, and then show it to Xue Ling."
Wen Jiuze: "If you have this and need it, you can."
Wen Yi wrote a few lines of words quietly before refusing: "No, Academician Ji's research data is very valuable, and I don't have time to do anything else for the time being."
Moreover, she was afraid that Wen Jiuze would cause trouble for the doctor. She still had a lot of things to do in her life and was not prepared to die in Wen Jiuze's anger.
Wen Jiuze surprisingly didn't bother to continue and just turned and left.
The light came in from outside again, and Wen Yi picked up a manuscript of Academician Ji and pondered.
There is a fundamental difference between Academician Ji's research on viruses and her teacher's research.
He discovered special substances in some meteorites that can inhibit the reproduction of viruses, but this is most likely another unknown living organism that is very similar to existing viruses.
Academician Ji hopes to use the competitive relationship between the two sides to solve the problem of the zombie virus.
But this is a bold and dangerous attempt, and no one knows whether it will open another Pandora's box.
Wen Yi's thoughts turned and she thought of Xue Ling's current situation again.
If she is given this special substance to inactivate the zombie virus in her body, will her condition improve or worsen?
