Chapter 7: Mutual Affection
Chapter 7: Mutual Affection
Behind the security gate of the zoo, the man kept watching him. Seeing that he seemed to hesitate, he continued to persuade: "Don't be a mother-in-law, a big man, you know that I am right." Didn't you come to me here because I was so big that I thought I should be the most lacking? It's just a daughter, a man like you, are you afraid of it in the future? β
Tang Ao turned his head to look at the car, and Hai Momo put his face against the window to look at him. He said in a deep voice, "I'll send her to another place first." β
The man in the zoo looked sly, "You're welcome to come back here, of course, if you're not ......," he made a zombie walking motion, "if you come back like this." β
Tang Ao got into the car and didn't say a word, and Hai Momo was also very quiet. Only Wang Wang was looking around in the car. Tang Ao drove back to the Bailu River, where the view was open and sparsely populated. And relatively speaking, food and water are readily available.
The car stopped, and two zombies heard the sound and staggered towards it. They were the only ones who welcomed their arrival. Tang Ao got out of the car first, saw that there was no movement around, and then motioned to Hai Momo to come down: "Prepare to cook." β
After speaking, he walked to the river, fetched a basin of water with an iron basin, and prepared to make a crab roe porridge. Hai Momo looked at him for a while, suddenly pounced, and kissed him lightly on the forehead, and then happily took out the fish in the car and scraped off the scales. Tang Ao wiped the saliva from his forehead in disgust, and the two zombies slowly approached, and he easily chopped their heads with an axe: "If you hang their heads on the front of the car, its guys don't know if they will have a longer memory." β
He muttered to himself, Hai Momo slightly curled the corners of his mouth: "They will think they are eating." β
Tang Ao nodded: "It makes sense." β
After scraping the scales of the fish, the sea foam began to make a fire. Tang Ao cut the fish and washed it, and waited until the porridge was ready to grill the fish. Wang Wang rummaged around in a nearby car. There is no one nearby, as long as there is no "a large wave of zombies approaching", the threat is not great. He didn't close the car door to let the smoke out, and he could also look at Wang Wang by the way.
Wang Wang found a can of coconut milk, took it back and wagked his tail to offer treasure. Hai Momo rewarded it with half a bowl of crab roe porridge.
The autumn breeze is coming, the sky is clear and blue, and the yellow flowers that have withered in the evening bloom sporadically in the grass. The world is still beautiful and tranquil. Tang Ao took out the crab roe porridge, Hai Momo began to smear salt oil on the fish, and the two of them grilled the fish.
The aroma of the food made the world even better, and Hai Momo blew the golden fish on his hand to cool it, and then handed it to Tang Ao's mouth. Tang Ao took a bite and motioned for her to eat it herself. She was so happy that she broke off half of it and fed it to Wangwang.
A gust of wind blew, the cold invaded the body, Tang Ao took a piece of clothing from the rope and put it on, and threw the little padded jacket to Hai Momo - the sky was getting colder, and they couldn't bathe in the river all the time.
After lunch, Tang Ao drove the car to observe the nearby terrain. Thirty kilometers ahead here is Bailuzhou, a famous scenic spot in E City. It's so far away that few people can come to it. So there is only one small shop nearby that rents fishing gear.
The storefront is really small, and there used to be a huge umbrella outside, but now the umbrella is broken, and it seems that someone climbed up when they escaped, but it obviously failed.
Tang Ao walked into the shop with an axe, and Hai Momo didn't know when Lu Dao also ran over. She followed behind Tang Ao like a tail, still holding a kitchen knife in her hand.
The shop is a two-story building with fishing rods, lines, bait, etc., and the top is supposed to be a place for people to live. There is a small escalator that allows only one person to pass through and go directly upstairs.
Tang Ao knocked on the kitchen knife with an axe, and there was a strange sound on it immediately, but no one came down. Could it be that this one is smarter than the others? Do you know how to be a husband?
"It has no hands and feet, can't walk, and is very angry." Hai Momo said softly.
Tang Ao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I'll go up and take a look, don't move if you stand here." β
Hai Momo grabbed him: "It's small here, Momo goes." β
Of course, Tang Ao knew that if she went, she would be more flexible. But he's a big man, how can he let a little child go into danger?
He didn't speak, just stepped forward and leaned up from the small ladder.
Just three steps up, suddenly a snowball rushed in. Tang Ao shouted, and the snowball had already jumped over him quickly, and rushed upstairs at onceβit was Wangwang.
Tang Ao followed closely, and it was pitch black upstairs. He was shocked, only to see Wang Wang pounce on him and bite something at once. The strange sound of heaving stopped. That's when he lit the lighter.
The upstairs were so narrow that he could reach the floor with his head up. Only a bed was placed on it, a bedside table. There was blood all over the bed, and an old man with no hands and feet left, lying on the ground covered in blood.
Wang Wang seemed angry, barking and spinning around. Tang Ao drove it away, packed the old man with a sheet, tied it up, and threw it down the small escalator.
Hai Momo kept paying attention to the movement outside, and Tang Ao didn't let her look at it, so he found a place to bury the old man. Hai Momo was very well-behaved and didn't ask anything.
By the time Tang Ao came back, she had already wiped all the blood upstairs. Her movements were really neat, Tang Ao finally touched her head to show praise, and she was happy to bloom.
"You stay here, lock the door, don't open the door unless anyone comes to me." Tang Ao changed his clothes and saw that the door was still strong, and then he advised. Hai Momo nodded, she knew that Tang Ao wanted to take refuge here, and began to clean.
Tang Ao drove out. Wang Wang wanted to follow, but he drove back to the shop: "Look at your master!" He snorted, though he knew that the dog would not understand. He went to the hardware store he had written down last time, picked up a useful piece of wire, iron bars, aluminum alloy security bars, etc., and carried them back to the car.
The weather was slightly cool, but his clothes were all soaked with sweat, and his hair was dripping. But the results were satisfactory.
After he left, Hai Momo was certainly not idle. There was a small kitchen at the back of the shop, and she only stopped at the door to take a closer look inside. The kitchenette is very basic, but there are still a few packets of instant noodles, water in the pipes, and the most surprising thing is that there is still gas in the gas tank.
Hai Momo's right thumb and middle finger easily picked up the gas tank that fell to the ground, and after trying for a long time, she finally knew how to use it - although she had lived a human life for more than half a year, she was treated as a child after all, and she didn't know much.
She made fragrant rice and stir-fried the fish. She doesn't know how to cook, but it's so rare to be able to eat such food at this time.
Parking the car on the stone road outside the shop, before Tang Ao got out of the car, Hai Momo had already opened the door. Leaping out like an arrow, he jumped into the car. When it sniffed left and right, and found that there was nothing to eat in the cart, it walked away with disdain.
Hai Momo helped Tang Ao move things down, and a zombie heard the sound and staggered over. Tang Ao asked Hai Momo to help, carried a box of iron bars to the house, and then used a hammer to break the zombie's head at once.
It was getting dark, and he reinforced the door with iron bars. There were many deadbolts nailed to the door frame with two hidden locks, and they were rigidly barbed with iron bars. Finally, the windows were nailed to the security bars.
By the time Qiuyang had completely sunk to the horizon, he was so tired that he didn't want to move his fingers. Hai Momo made dinner, the two of them had eaten, and it was already pitch black all around, and there was nothing else to do.
There was a bed upstairs, which was so much better than a cold trunk. Tang Ao asked Hai Momo to go up, thinking that he couldn't see his five fingers on it, and he was afraid that she would be afraid, so he went up with him. Lying on the small staircase, it would prick up its ears vigilantly at the slightest sound, like a competent little guard.
All the things on the bed were thrown away and cleaned. Tang Ao took out all the clothes in the truck when he left during the day, and now they are all piled on the bed.
At this time, I couldn't take care of much, and the two of them sat in the pile of clothes. Tang Ao found a thick dress to put on himself, and wrapped Hai Momo in another thick cotton coat of his own: "Sleep!" β
Hai Momo crawled mischievously and burrowed into his arms. He wanted to push away, but it was warm next to each other, so he didn't move.
There was silence all around, and Tang San Gongzi sighed. If it was Yang Yingying in her arms at this time...... Don't think about it, the tragedy of the last Coke bottle simply gave him a psychological shadow.
Sleep, it's a rare night where you don't have to worry about someone biting your neck in your sleep. He closed his eyes, and the sound of the wind passing through the rooftops and the shallow breathing of the sea foam were in his ears.
Hai Momo didn't fall asleep, Tang Ao's arms wrapped around her shoulders, and her whole body was nestled in his arms. Her unusually sensitive hearing allowed her to feel his heartbeat and the sound of his blood flowing. His arms were really warm, completely different from the cold utensils in the lab. She gently stroked his bearded chin with her fingertips, which she found very amusing.
President Tang held Hai Momo's hand in his sleep, and felt that this girl was really not simple, at a young age, she actually knew that she was taking advantage of him......
The next morning, although I slept in a pile of clothes, I felt much better in bed. Tang Ao opened his eyes, it was not yet dawn, and the sea foam in his arms was still asleep. It was Wang Wang at the top of the stairs who yawned.
He got up carefully and put Hai Momo on the bed. Hai Momo smacked her lips, her little hands still tugging at the neckline of his shirt. Tang Ao broke her hand away and went downstairs by herself.
Outside, the stars are sparse and the moon is bright, and occasionally insects can be heard. The cold fragrance of autumn flowers melts in the wind, which is refreshing. Tang Ao took a deep breath, today's purpose is a lighting appliance. It's best to find a generator, but it's too loud and will inevitably attract more zombies. Be conservative, or look for a flashlight or something, it's not bad to be able to find pure vegetable oil.
He went to the kitchen, there was a toilet in the kitchen cubicle, he washed up first, and then soaked two packs of instant noodles, and then called Hai Momo up. Hai Momo was still rubbing her eyes, and Tang Ao found all the clothes for her: "Get up first, close the door and go to sleep." β
Hai Momo sighed and went downstairs sleepily. Wang Wang followed Tang Ao out of the door, Tang Ao listened to her close the door outside the door, and then told again: "There are noodles in the kitchen, go to bed after eating." β
Hai Momo agreed, Tang Ao turned around and got into the car, Wang Wang finished using the toilet in the lawn next to him, and jumped from his lap to the passenger seat. He drove out of the city, and the shop was hidden in the pre-dawn night.
Tang Ao searched along the suburban road, and the street lights were all extinguished. By the light of the headlights, he could faintly see the doors of the shops on both sides. In the end, he actually found a Hualian supermarket. He pulled over to the side of the road and got down with an axe. Wang Wang was still running in front, and was about to go in, but he blew up all of a sudden.
Then it barked wildly, Tang Ao looked through the headlights, and saw a group of "people" walking down the steps of the supermarket. They walked out slowly, sluggishly, stiffly, and densely packed.
Tang Ao didn't have time to take a closer look, and shouted loudly: "Wangwang, run!" Then he turned and ran into the car. Wang Wang screamed and jumped into the car as well.
At this time, a "person" suddenly popped out of the zombie group, and its speed was very fast, and it suddenly lay on the car window. By the light of the headlights, Tang Ao could see its face clearly. It was a middle-aged man, wearing a security guard's uniform, and it looked like he was supposed to be a supermarket security guard.
His eyeballs were full of red threads, and he couldn't even see the whites of his eyes. The limbs clinging to the car window are very solid and powerful.
Tang Ao started the car first, stepped on the clutch, the car started to start, and the person on the window stretched out his hand, wrapped his elbow around his neck, and sent it into his mouth hard.
Tang Ao scolded, and kept touching the axe with his right hand. Wang Wang jumped over and gnawed at the other party's elbow hard. Tang Ao's eyes were full of white dog hair, but it was better than that disgusting monster. He touched the axe, and the monster that was about to bite him suddenly screamed.
As if something was pulling him down, he couldn't stop struggling, Tang Ao took the opportunity to smash an axe over, hitting his head with a bang, and blood splashed his head and face.
That person fell like a kite with a broken string, and of course Tang Ao didn't look back - if he was entangled by that group of guys, he really couldn't go back.
What the hell is that guy? It's much faster and much more ruthless than zombies. Could it be a crazy person?
But at this time, I can't take care of it, at the moment of life and death, either you die or I die. Anyway, I am immortal, whoever loves to die will die. He snorted coldly, thinking about the grand scene of zombies gathering in the supermarket just now, even if he was not afraid of death, he couldn't help but feel palpitations. Maybe it's because after the outbreak of the virus, everyone rushed to the supermarket to grab food. This led to the supermarket becoming a zombie camp.
He washed his head and face with bottled water in his car, and although he had just escaped death, the search continued, and he drove forward.
On the highway not far from the entrance of the supermarket, a black object was lying on the ground, and below it was a male corpse in a security uniform. It held the red and white brain pulp in its hand and kept stuffing it in its mouth.
Something approached in front of it, and it looked up alertly. It was a boy about ten years old, his whole body had turned dark green, but his eyes were white. A mouth torn to the base of the ear, it is simply a bloody mouth.
Hai Momo was right in front of him and looked at him. He let out a menacing growl, and one lunged at the sea foam. His movements were already fast, and Hai Momo stood still in place. When he threw himself in front of her, she put her hands on his head, turned thirty or sixty degrees, and lifted it again.
A human head is already in hand.
There was only dark green slime in the cavity, and the zombie group behind him was already approaching here. Hai Momo dropped that head and quickly left the place.
The sky is getting brighter, the sun has not yet shown its face, and the red glow has already spread. The golden red glow sprinkled on the grass and trees, and the dew became a jewel. Tang Ao refueled at a gas station, and stopped at the gate of a small courtyard after the last - he heard the rooster crow.
The gate of the courtyard was open, and he walked in with an axe. Wang Wang sniffed everywhere, Tang Ao went to find a flashlight first, ordinary families must have these things.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and he found several large bags of candles. Wang Wang screamed vigorously in the kitchen. Tang Ao rushed over to take a look, and it turned out that it had found a basket of eggs, which were too small to move, and they were in a hurry.
Tang Ao found some rice noodles, bacon, air-dried pheasants, hares, etc., and he carried them into the car one by one. When he searched the bedroom later, he couldn't bear to look at the miserable situation inside. There were two children's gnawed corpses inside, and a pair of baby's small feet on the bed. There are only two small feet left.
It should be that the adult in the family suddenly fell ill and ate the child. It is true that a person like him has not been able to have any compassion left, but when he saw this scene, he still sighed and sighed, if this is really what you did, you should go to hell.
