CHAPTER XXXIII

Now, Julia is frightened!

"What do you say? That zombie was your brother just now? "The one standing in the way?" she cried. ”

Yin Zhen nodded slowly: "I...... I smashed his head! Julia, I'll kill him! ”

Struggling to hold her mind steady, Julia grabbed a glimmer of reason in her chaotic mind.

"Wait, how do you know that zombie is your brother?" She wondered, "That guy's face is all rotten!" His eyes are gone, you can't see who he is! ”

"He was wearing court clothes, and I recognized them...... I recognized, the new one, and he showed it to us that morning......"

"Imperial clothes?"

In the mess, Julia couldn't figure out the meaning of these two words for a moment.

"There's no going wrong." Yin Zhen muttered, "That's his clothes, let's ...... The clothes he was wearing on the day of our accident. I recognize the corners of the supplements......"

Julia sat down slowly beside Yin Zhen, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Under the bright noon sun, Yin Zhen trembled like chaff, he hugged his head and curled up.

"I didn't want to kill him...... I really didn't think about it! But I can't kill him...... He's going to rush out and bite me......"

Julia came back to her senses and quickly pressed Yin Zhen's shoulder hard.

"You didn't do anything wrong, Ah Zhen, you didn't do anything wrong!" She said in a firm tone, "You saved me just now, if it weren't for you, I would have been bitten by it!" ”

"But he ...... But he's ......."

Julia simply put both hands on Yin Zhen's shoulders and forced him to look into her eyes. She said word by word: "He's not your brother anymore, understand?" It's a zombie who doesn't remember who you are, who you are, or your shared past. He just wants to eat your meat! If he were your brother, would he want to eat your meat? ”

She used so much strength that she almost crushed Yin Zhen's shoulder bone. But the man didn't seem to feel any pain at all, his eyes were still glazed, and his face was covered with fine sweat.

"We were all stunned by the loud noise, and he happened to be standing next to me. I didn't expect him to be brought over as well......"

After a while, the man buried his head, covered his face and began to whimper.

Julia didn't dare say anything, just hugged him hard.

Before leaving the supermarket, Julia asked Yin Zhen what his plans were.

"I was supposed to go and collect his bones, after all, I am his fourth brother." Yin Zhen said with red eyes, "But now we can't go in......"

Julia thought for a moment and whispered, "Burn this supermarket down." ”

Yin Zhen nodded.

They picked up a lot of tree branches, as well as combustibles such as cushions from abandoned taxis nearby, threw them into the supermarket, and lit a fire.

Under the bright sun at three o'clock in the afternoon, the flames were like a demon's tongue, burning, and the zombies in the entire cold storage were also burned.

"In this way, even if he is buried......"

Yin Zhen muttered, he looked at the giant Yan, there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, but he finally turned around and left without looking back.

Julia followed him, she occasionally looked back, and then glanced at the burning supermarket, and at the door, the red-haired and yellow-clad Ronald McDonald, still standing in front of the soaring flames, he grinned at them with his hands wide open, and above his head, half a tattered banner fluttered in the flames: I'mlovin'it!

The gaudy smile on the corner of the clown's lips was strange and stiff.

Julia was terrified! She didn't dare to look any more, and looked back.

Along the way, Yin Zhen was silent, and Julia didn't dare to say anything.

Still, she insisted, "You didn't see his face, did you?" Is the height the same? ”

“…… About the same height. Yin Zhen paused, "His hair is gone, but it may have been cut short like me." ”

Julia searched her stomach for a long time before she tried to say, "I think you don't want to die until the last minute." Ah Zhen, maybe you can still see him alive in the future, if so, why should you be sad today? ”

After she said this, Yin Zhen stood up and looked back at her, and Julia found that the look on his face was not relief or expectation, but dazed and frustrated.

"I don't really want to see him, especially here." He paused before he said, "I'd rather be like you said yesterday, he's still in his own house, wearing a fur and sitting on a beautiful woman." ”

Julia came to her senses: "Oh, this is the brother you said yesterday who is very skillful and can make rouge cream for his wife?" ”

Yin Zhen nodded: "Although I get along with him in the same way, I don't want to ...... I don't want to see him turn into a zombie, and I don't want to kill him with my own hands. I don't want to do that! ”

By the last half of his sentence, his voice was hoarse.

Julia hurriedly grabbed his arm: "It's all said, it's not sure yet, even if it's confirmed to be him, you haven't done anything wrong!" ”

Yin Zhen was stunned, and suddenly squeezed out a strange look on his face: "I'm ...... I'm killing my own brother! ”

These words made Julia not know how to comfort her.

Yin Zhen lowered his head: "...... Let's go, and find a place to stay while it's still dark. ”

That night they found a small hotel to settle down temporarily. Entering the room, Julia quickly closed the door and locked the window, she put down her backpack and breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be safe." ”

Yin Zhen sat on the bed in a daze, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Julia sighed quietly, she walked over, crouched down, and pressed Yin Zhen's knee.

"Don't think about it, if you keep thinking about the worst, you won't be able to bear it in the first place."

"I'm just wondering, if he comes, will the rest of my brothers come too?" Yin Zhen whispered, "Who else is here?" Am I not alone? ”

"It's not going to be that bad." Julia tried to comfort, "Zhen, here's the thing: you've only seen a similar garment!" ”

Yin Zhen looked at her, and suddenly showed a wry smile: "Human hearts, it's really a strange thing, Julia, just now I was thinking, did I see the court clothes really?" Am I going to be wrong about the supplementary picture? Could it be my other brother? When I think about this, I'm afraid, the two of them are the same height, and if, if it's the other, then I'...... Then I can't bear it even more. ”

Julia was silent for a long time before she said, "Everything is just an assumption in your own head. Ah Zhen, today we are so tired, you can't think so much, you take the baseless illusion and carry it on your back as if it were a real thing, and if you go on like this, you can't do anything. ”

That night, Yin Zhen didn't say anything more, but Julia could vaguely hear him sobbing. She didn't know how to comfort her, the death of her siblings was a big deal, and everything she said was in vain.

At dawn, Julia was awakened by Yin Zhen's shouting, and she jumped up from the bed with a thud, almost grabbing the carbine to shoot!

After a few seconds, Julia realized that Yin was really having a nightmare.

She put down the gun in a cold sweat, stumbled out of bed, walked to the edge of Yin Zhen's bed, and reached out to shake him.

"Stop screaming." She begged, "I'll bring the zombies." ”

Yin Zhen was woken up by her, he opened his eyes, his chest heaved and heaved, and he was still panting heavily.

"Nightmare?" She leaned down and looked at him.

Yin Zhen's gaze recovered from stiffness and godlessness a little bit, and his eyes rolled slightly: "Hmm......"

"What dream?"

"Dream ...... Dream of me...... was eaten. Slowly, he stammered, "I become...... Hamburg, ...... by the red-haired villain I ate it in one bite, and it was the wheat ...... McDonald's. ”

Knowing that it was inappropriate, Julia was relieved and fell on top of him!

Yin Zhen seemed to still have half of his soul in the nightmare, he muttered: "I was caught by that guy, I couldn't move, he spread vegetable leaves on me, poured milk, and then sandwiched me with two pieces of dough ......"

"Is this a nightmare or a sweet dream?"

“…… I couldn't break free no matter how hard I struggled, his hair was red, his clothes were yellow, the monsters were not as scary as his, his mouth was so wide open, I could see his teeth, like rows of guillotines. ”

Julia comforted, and gently stroked Yin Zhen's face: "It's okay, it's just a dream, McDonald's Shu Huang is a good person, he will only make children happy, he won't eat people." ”

Yin Zhen's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his hair was wet. It took him a long time to breathe a sigh of relief: "...... I don't want to see that wicked man again. ”

"No, it won't. McDonald's won't come to bully you. She whispered, put her arm around him hard, and tucked the quilt on Yin Zhen's body, "It's still early, it's not dawn." Let's sleep a little longer. ”

Yin Zhen hugged Julia tightly, and he suddenly whispered, "Julia, could it be that we are the only ones left in this world now?" ”

"What?" Julia's consciousness was not yet fully awake.

"My brothers, I always thought they were alive and well at home. Actually, they were all dead a long time ago, my parents and brothers, they were all eaten by that McDonald's...... I'm the only one left. ”

Well, you've got a hamburger in your family - Julia finally didn't say that.

"Don't think so." She hugged Yin Zhen, "Don't let cranky thoughts ruin your sanity." Zhen, you have to cheer up! You still have a lot of work to do! ”

This sentence reminded Yin Zhen.

He nodded: "You're right, even if I'm the only one left in the family, I have to figure out what happened!" ”

"Also, don't think that your brothers are dead, don't think so." Julia's voice suddenly took on a hint of hoarseness as she said this, "Don't lose faith until you confirm it with your own eyes, understand?" Tell yourself: I'm the only one here, they're all safe, they're all right. ”

Yin Zhen stared at her and didn't say anything!

"Do you know why I'm making you think that? Ah Zhen, this is the spiritual principle of this zombie world: don't give up, don't give up a glimmer of hope. The world is already full of things that can hit you to death, and it has no good intentions at all, so you can't easily compromise and let those terrible thoughts attack you. Lao Lu once taught me three words: good protection. Do you understand what that means? ”

Yin Zhen nodded: "The words are from the Diamond Sutra." ”

"You see, you understand it very well, then you have to do it: you have to protect your faith, or you will soon not be able to live."

Yin Zhen finally understood what Julia meant, and he suddenly said, "I have always felt that I am very strong. Now I know that Julia is stronger than me. ”

Julia smiled bitterly: "If the world is peaceful, I am willing to be weak." ”

She paused for a moment before whispering, "It's nice to be able to rely on others." Who wants to be that strong? ”
