Fan Xin's contact lenses melted when she passed through the explosion area. She took out the melted lenses and threw them away.
If she were still human, these eyes would be useless.
There were many colored contact lenses in the space, and Fan Xin took a pair of black ones and put them on.
The clothes on her body were blown into pieces. After changing her clothes, Fan Xin reflected deeply on why she wasted so much clothes.
After cleaning himself up, Fan Xin separated the three pigs, pried open their stomachs, and took them out.
Zhong Yi crawled out of the pig's stomach in a daze, still swaying as he stood on the ground: "Brother, brother..."
Fan Xin patted his head and said, "Sit on the ground and relax for a while."
The explosion was so powerful that even through a thick layer of pork, it shocked Zhong Yi.
Zhong Yi nodded obediently and sat down on the ground. Fan Xin took out a bottle of water and handed it to him: "Drink some water and wash your body."
Fan Xin looked at the three pigs. The one used to hold Xu Yan could not be eaten, but it could not be thrown outside like that. She threw it back into the space and would find an opportunity to destroy it later.
She also threw the pig that pretended to be Zhong Yi into the space.
Fan Xin held a boning knife in his hand and planned to cut up the remaining pig. He wanted to discard the burnt parts, as the meat inside could still be eaten and the bones could be used to make soup.
It's just right to give Zhong Yi some nourishment.
As soon as she lifted her foot, Zhou Jinchen woke up. He got up from the ground, a little dazed, and then slowly approached the pig's head, squinting his eyes and looking at it: "This pig, why does it look familiar?"
Fan Xin: “…”
She took out the charcoal and grill and placed them on the ground. She walked over and grabbed Zhou Jinchen by the collar, and ordered him without mercy: "Go and light the charcoal fire."
Zhou Jinchen met Fan Xin's gaze and was startled. He quickly stood up and said, "Got it!"
He ran to the grill and started fiddling with the charcoal. Fortunately, he had often gone out to barbecue with friends before and knew how to light the charcoal best.
He found some dead grass and dry branches and placed them underneath, then placed the charcoal on top.
"Boss, do you have a lighter? I don't have a way to light it." Zhou Jinchen fiddled with it, only to realize that he didn't have a lighter and scratched his head.
The boning knife in Fan Xin's hand fell on the pig's body, quickly separating the charred pig skin and meat, and then cutting the meat into strips as wide as a palm.
Hearing Zhou Jinchen's voice, she threw the lighter over.
Zhou Jinchen raised his hand to catch it, and suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He turned around suddenly, but there was nothing behind him.
After the pork bones and meat were divided, Fan Xin put the meat and bones into the space, leaving only a few pounds of pork belly and ribs to give them to eat later.
When Fan Xin came back with the meat and ribs, she saw Zhou Jinchen guarding the charcoal fire, looking left and right with a shifty look on his face.
Fan Xin took out a pot and kicked Zhou Jinchen: "What are you looking at?"
Zhou Jinchen rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, shrank his neck, and said in a trembling voice: "Boss, tell me, zombies have appeared. Are there really ghosts in this world?"
Fan Xin: “…”
She put the pot on the grill, poured in mineral water, and didn't want to pay any attention to Zhou Jinchen.
Zhou Jinchen stood next to Fan Xin and whispered, "I always feel a chill on the back of my neck, as if there's a ghost behind me..."
"What do you think? Could it be that those people on the third floor of the mall died with their eyes open... so they followed me out?" Zhou Jinchen's voice became smaller and smaller, his eyes gradually filled with fear, as if there really was a ghost lying on his back.
Two paper-shelled walnuts appeared in Fan Xin's hand and she stuffed them into Zhou Jinchen's mouth: "Eat more walnuts, it nourishes your brain."
Zhou Jinchen bit the walnuts with his eyes wide open, his mouth aching from being stretched by the two walnuts.
"Hmm, hmm."
His gaze was about to poke a hole in Fan Xin.
Fan Xin acted as if she hadn't noticed. She took out a bunch of wooden sticks and called Zhong Yi over: "Can you string these pieces of meat together?"
Zhong Yi nodded: "Yes, I have helped my mother escape before!"
Fan Xin touched his head and said, "That's amazing. Be careful not to poke your hand."
Zhong Yi pulled at the corner of Fan Xin's clothes, raised his head, and looked at her eagerly.
Fan Xin paused, bent down slightly, and leaned closer to Zhong Yi.
Zhong Yi was a little uneasy. He bit his lip and said, "Brother, will Mom really get better?"
Zhou Jinchen's attitude towards Xu Yan made Zhong Yi vaguely understand something. He had been observing Xu Yan just now. The more he observed, the more he realized that his mother was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
Moreover, he himself didn't know that along the way, he unconsciously moved away from Xu Yan and became closer to Fan Xin.
Fan Xin stared silently at Zhong Yi's uneasy eyes.
Zhong Yi loosened his grip on the corner of Fan Xin's clothes, his eyes filled with moisture, he quickly lowered his head, grabbed a piece of meat with his little hand and put it on the skewer.
Fan Xin squatted in front of Zhong Yi, took out a tissue and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said softly: "Some things require you to find the answers yourself. What others say may not be right."
Zhong Yi hummed in a depressed tone.
Fan Xin patted his head, stood up and left.
After Fan Xin left, Zhong Yi burst into tears. He wiped his tears with his sleeves, but it was no use. The more he wiped, the more tears came.
Zhou Jinchen finally managed to push out two walnuts with his tongue. Seeing Zhong Yi crying, he rubbed his sore cheeks and squatted in front of Zhong Yi.
"Hey, kid, are you crying?" Zhou Jinchen leaned over, his eyes wide open as if he had discovered a new world.
Zhong Yi looked up and glared at him fiercely: "Never mind me!"
Zhou Jinchen touched his nose, sat cross-legged opposite Zhong Yi, took out a wooden skewer and began to skewer the meat: "Hey, cry if you want to. It's normal for a man to shed tears. If you want to cry, cry freely. Don't hide it. It's better to vent it out than to keep it in your heart."
What he said was too complicated for Zhong Yi to understand, but he understood that it was normal for a man to shed tears.
Zhong Yi sniffed and retorted, "You're lying! Mom said a real man sheds blood, not tears!"
Zhou Jinchen grinned, "Really? Then why are you still crying?"
"Never mind your business!"
"I didn't care about you. I was just curious and asked you."
…………
While cooking pork rib soup, Fan Xin looked at Zhou Jinchen and Zhong Yi, with a smile on her lips.
.
How great would it be if she was reborn and not a zombie?
Fan Xin glanced back and looked away expressionlessly.
Zhou Jinchen and Zhong Yi skewered the meat and brought it over.
Fan Xin took out the seasonings and placed a handful of pork belly on the grill.
The charcoal fire was very strong, and the pork belly started to sizzle with oil as soon as it was put on. The oil fell on the charcoal fire, and flames rose instantly.
Fan Xin was caught off guard, and the skewers were burned by the open flame and turned black.
Zhou Jinchen felt so painful watching this that he couldn't help but say, "Boss, this simple job really isn't suitable for you. Can you just take a rest over there and let me do it?"
Fan Xin turned her head and looked at Zhou Jinchen. Was this guy looking down on her barbecue skills? But he had made some progress and could speak human language.
Zhou Jinchen felt his spine tremble under his gaze. He swallowed hard and smiled innocently, "I just think you've worked too hard."
Fan Xin made room: "You come."
Zhou Jinchen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took over the barbecue task, saying with a beaming face, "Fan Xin, let me tell you, I'm not as good as you at killing zombies, but you're really not as good as me at barbecue. This thing also requires some knowledge! Thinking back to the past..."
Fan Xin rolled her eyes. She shouldn't have changed her mind about this guy.
Zhong Yi looked at Zhou Jinchen's smug expression and puffed out his cheeks, "I can do it too!"
Zhou Jinchen looked disdainful: "You? Kid, you're not even as tall as the barbecue grill."
"I can just stand on the chair!" Zhong Yi raised his head.
Zhou Jinchen waved his hand and said disdainfully, "Goodbye. If one of you loses your balance and falls onto the grill, are we going to have roast pork or roast kids today?"
While they were bickering, Fan Xin walked silently to the back.
Not long after walking, Fan Xin saw Sui Jing standing against a tree trunk. Fan Xin had just burned holes of varying sizes on his clothes, leaving a bloody mess on the skin underneath. One of his arms was drooping, obviously broken.
Seeing him like this, Fan Xin couldn't help but laugh: "Have you been through a lot of trouble?"
Her eyes were lowered and her lips were gently pursed, looking a little pitiful.
Fan Xin looked at him silently, feeling that he looked familiar.
Isn't this the look Zhong Yi had when he was sad just now? Fan Xin stared at the man pretending to be pitiful with a strange expression.
She rubbed her brows and took out a new set of clothes for him: "Nuo, change into it."
The mirror didn't move.
Fan Xin twitched the corner of her mouth: "Do you still want me to put it on for you?"
Sui Jing made a hoarse sound in his throat: "Didn't you say you wanted my crystal core? I agree, I'll give it to you."
Fan Xin rubbed his brows and looked at Sui Jing, who was full of bleak air. "I don't want it now. Now, put on your clothes and leave immediately. Understand?"
Sui Jing slowly turned around and looked at Zhou Jinchen and the others: "Why can they follow you? Because they are human? Do you like humans?"
His dark red pupils seemed to be immersed in a bottomless abyss: "Why do you like something as disgusting as humans?"
He turned his head and looked at Fan Xin: "I saw you smiled at them."
Fan Xin said expressionlessly: "Don't forget, before you became a zombie, you were also a human being."
"Yes." Sui Jing lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. "I used to be one of those disgusting people—haha."
Fan Xin really didn't expect that this guy would have such great malice towards humans. He clearly had human memories and emotions just like her.
She frowned. If that was the case, she really couldn't let this guy out of her sight, otherwise...
"Do you really want to follow me?" Fan Xin asked.
Sui Jing turned his head to look at her, the emotions surging in his pupils slowly calmed down, and he nodded: "Yeah."
Fan Xin took out a pair of contact lenses, walked over and asked him, "Would you wear these?"
Sui Jing's eyes fell on the contact lenses and he slowly shook his head: "No, I've never worn them."
Fan Xin took out her contact lenses and approached him. She dodged backwards and was put on the shoulder by Fan Xin, who said, "Don't move."
