Lin Mei opened her eyes and looked at Li Xi blankly: "Leave? Where to?"
When the end of the world came, her parents turned into zombies and did not recognize her at all. They chased her and bit her madly. If Wen Su had not saved her, she would either be eaten by her parents who turned into zombies, or become one of the zombies.
After being rescued by Wen Su, Lin Mei hugged Wen Su and broke down in tears. Since then, she has been particularly dependent on Wen Su.
She regards Wen Su as the most important person in her life. Wherever Wen Su is is her home, and that is where she can feel at ease.
But now, Wen Su doesn't want her anymore, where can she go?
Li Xi rolled his eyes. "Who cares where you go? Go wherever you want. Go, go, go, go."
After saying that, he turned around and rushed into the pile of zombies, blending into the vast group of zombies.
Lin Mei stared at the scene in amazement, then followed.
After Li Xi squeezed into the zombie horde, he found that Lin Mei had followed him. He turned his head and glared at her: "I say, why are you following me?"
There was a zombie between Lin Mei and Li Xi. When she saw Li Xi stop, she stopped too.
"Why?" Lin Mei looked at the zombies around her. Before Wen Su established the base, she had been through life and death with Wen Su. Although she was an ordinary person, she had killed many zombies.
The zombie horde is the most terrifying. Even people with special abilities will be frightened when encountering a huge zombie horde.
If someone falls into a group of zombies, it is estimated that they will be eaten to pieces in a few minutes.
"Why?" Li Xi wondered if this woman was mentally ill. She had been sent away, yet she still ran into the zombie swarm on her own? Wasn't she afraid of being bitten by the zombies?
He was not afraid because he was from the Starry Base and knew that these zombies would not bite people, but this woman had no idea.
Lin Mei's eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment: "Why don't they eat us?"
Li Xi folded his arms and sneered, "They don't eat us because they don't eat humans. I mean, what on earth do you want to do by following us?"
Zombies don’t eat humans?
Lin Mei was silent for a moment, and murmured softly: "I don't know where I should go."
Li Xi was so angry that he laughed: "You follow me when you don't know where to go? Do you want to go home with me?"
Lin Mei's eyes fell on Li Xi, and then she nodded: "Okay."
Li Xi: “…”
His face flushed red, and he looked at Lin Mei with his eyes wide open, unable to utter a word.
"Hahaha... Not bad, not bad. This girl is quite pretty. It would be a good idea to take her home as your wife!" A man came over, hooked his arms around Li Xi's neck, and said with a wink.
Li Xi's face turned even redder. He stared for a long time before uttering two words: "Shut up!"
"Why are you shutting up? Isn't this good? If you hadn't acted quickly, I would have been the one the girl would have pledged herself to!" The man clamped his arms tightly around Li Xi's neck and rubbed his head with his hands.
Lin Mei lowered her eyes, her face expressionless.
At the gate of the base.
Zhang Zinan leaned against the earth wall, clinging to it tightly. His body and face were covered with scars from vines, and a round hole was left in his calf from a water arrow.
At this time, blood was constantly gushing out of the wound on his calf.
He looked at the slowly opening gate of the base with a pale face, and saw those people retreating frantically, his heart filled with despair.
Are you going to die?
No, it might also turn into a zombie.
Becoming a zombie that eats human flesh and drinks human blood is more terrifying than death!
Zhang Zinan couldn't accept that he would become a zombie, and he took out a dagger tremblingly.
This dagger was given to him by a psychic in the base because he had won the favor of that psychic.
He thought that he could have a good life by trying so hard to please the psychics, but in the end it turned out to be wishful thinking.
He held the dagger tightly in both hands, with the tip of the knife pointed at his neck.
Suicide requires a lot of courage. Even if he has the intention to die, he just can't bring himself to do it when the time comes.
Zhang Zinan once heard a saying: "If you're not even afraid of death, how can you be afraid of living?"
It sounds like living is easier than dying.
But it turns out that dying is indeed more difficult than living.
Even if there is a surging group of zombies in front of him, even if his heart is full of despair, even if he knows that if he does not commit suicide now, what awaits him will be the pain of being eaten by zombies one bite at a time, and he may even become a zombie.
He still couldn't bring himself to do it.
The cold tip of the knife was against his throat, and he could feel a slight stinging pain on his neck with just a little force. His hands were shaking violently, and as they were shaking, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Zhang Zinan hugged his head tightly, slid down the wall slowly and squatted on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
He hated his own cowardice and hated this fucked up world.
"ah--"
Screams came from all directions, Zhang Zinan trembled all over, he closed his eyes tightly,
The ordinary people who were driven out had no power to resist like lambs to be slaughtered, and were soon overwhelmed by the zombie swarm. However, the pain they imagined did not come. Instead, they were covered in the strong smell of blood.
Zhang Zinan was pulled up by cold hands and pushed into the group of zombies. Before he could open his eyes, he was covered in blood and his breath was full of the smell of blood.
When he opened his eyes, he was already squeezed into the crowd of zombies.
A zombie behind him pushed him, as if urging him to move forward. Zhang Zinan staggered forward two steps, and then was pushed again.
Just when he was about to fall, a zombie in front of him reached out and held him up.
The zombie holding Zhang Zinan stared at him with its scarlet eyes.
Zhang Zinan is completely confused now. After being terrified to the extreme, he probably feels calm. Anyway, he is surrounded by dense zombies, but he suddenly doesn't feel afraid anymore.
The zombie suddenly came over, opened its mouth, stuck out its tongue and licked Zhang Zinan's blood-stained face.
The cold tip of the tongue brushed across his cheek, Zhang Zinan's pupils shrank, and he stepped back suddenly.
A zombie nearby raised its hand and slapped the zombie that licked Zhang Zinan on the head, making a hoarse sound in its throat, as if giving a warning.
The zombie was attracted by the smell of blood on Zhang Zinan's body and couldn't control himself from licking the blood on Zhang Zinan's face with his tongue. He was beaten and shrank his neck with a look of grievance.
At this time, someone came over and pulled Zhang Zinan out of the zombie group.
After leaving the zombie group, the person who brought him out brought him a basin of water and said, "Wash the blood off your body quickly. Here are your clothes. Change into them and you can leave."
After saying that, the man dived into the zombie group again.
It took a long time for Zhang Zinan's slow brain to start working again. He stared at the water in front of him with a dazed look in his eyes.
What is going on?
He looked around and saw many people next to him, whose heads and faces were covered in blood like him, being escorted out of the zombie group, with a basin of water and a set of clothes in front of them.
These people had not yet recovered from their shock and stood there motionless.
The short man who had spread rumors in the base was among them. Unlike the others, he couldn't wait to clean the blood off his body with water.
Then take off your clothes and throw them away, then quickly change into clean clothes.
The clothes were a little big and baggy on him, but he didn't mind at all. Instead, he said happily, "Oh wow, new clothes! How long has it been since I last wore new clothes? These new ones are so comfortable to wear."
"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you moving? Don't you feel uncomfortable with all this blood? Wash yourself quickly!"
When Zhang Zinan saw the short man, he instantly remembered what the man had said before at the base.
He limped over to the shorter man and stared at him.
The short man was startled by Zhang Zinan's appearance and quickly took a few steps back: "What are you doing? Go away, stay away, stay away! There's so much blood on you, don't stain my new clothes!"
Zhang Zinan stared at him: "What you said before, is it true?"
The short man frowned. "What do you mean true or false? Oh, you mean what I said at the base? That must be true. Why would I lie to you?"
"Look, you guys, I told you before that Wen Su and the others were planning to use us as bait, but you didn't believe me. Now you believe me, right? Tsk tsk, luckily these zombies are from the Starry Base. If there really was a zombie outbreak, we'd be dead."
As he spoke, he shook his head, half sighing and half contented.
The people around came to their senses, but they didn't even bother to clean the blood off their bodies and gathered around.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Go wash first! Don't dirty my new clothes!!!" The short man surrounded by the crowd was about to cry. He curled up into a ball and looked pitiful. He was really afraid that these people would dirty his new clothes.
"What you said before about these zombies not eating humans and even protecting them is true?"
The short man looked at the group of people approaching him with fear and trepidation. He nodded repeatedly, feeling overwhelmed. "It's true, it's absolutely true. Otherwise, how could you have gotten out safely from so many zombies?"
"It's actually true..." Some people still find it unbelievable.
"So, is the Starry Base really a base where humans and zombies coexist?"
The short man screamed, "Ask if you want, but don't come any closer!!!"
"If these zombies don't eat humans, what do they eat?"
"Can we go to the Starry Base too?"
"How are the people in the Starry Base doing?"
Everyone around was talking at once, and all sorts of questions were thrown at the short man. The short man finally couldn't help but explode: "Go wash it all! I won't say a word until you're clean, not a single word!!!"
There was silence for a moment, and everyone looked at each other, and in unison looked at the crowded group of zombies over there.
The zombie horde kept crowding towards the base, and they were standing not far behind the zombie horde. This scene was quite weird no matter how you looked at it.
Zhang Zinan turned around and went back to the basin, took off his clothes and cleaned the blood off his body. When he washed his face, he suddenly remembered the zombie that had licked his face before, and his movements suddenly froze.
He took a deep breath, washed his face, and changed into the new clothes next to him.
The short man's suit was too big, but Zhang Zinan's suit was too small. It was so tight on his body that he looked like a tight-fitting suit, which was a bit funny.
The short man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone was intimidated by him and finally went to clean up the bloodstains.
He looked at the blood-stained ground around him and quickly found a clean place to wait.
After a while, everyone was cleaned up. Everyone's clothes were some big, some small, and none of them fit.
However, no one cared to look at what others were wearing. They all cleaned the blood off their bodies, washed their hair with the remaining water, and went straight to where the short man was.
