Chapter 24: Three Questions on Philosophy
"And how do you know?"
I'm curious as to why a chimpanzee knows so much.
"I saw it at the zoo." His gaze moved into the distance, "Xiahe City Safari Park, where I was born." ”
I go, feeling that he is just an ordinary chimpanzee, but how can an ordinary chimpanzee speak?
"When the first spore broke out, all the animals in the zoo were not infected." Winston took off his glasses, "but I was the only one who survived, and most of the animals were starved to death in cages." ”
Speaking of this, he paused. I didn't go on.
But I can also guess that a small part of it was cannibalism.
It's like what could have happened in that building when I came to the library.
"And how did you escape?"
Naturally, I didn't poke him in the nerves, so I changed the question.
"My keeper was in my cage when he was infected."
, looks like I've poked him in the other nerve.
"Don't look at me with sympathy, I don't like him." Winston grinned, "I killed him, got the key and escaped, these glasses ......"
"It can't be his relic, right?"
How do I feel that this plot is familiar?
The apes are not in love?
"Don't bother, who will ask for his relics, this is what I picked up in the visitor center."
You chimpanzee, you don't play by the rules, I shrugged, "Okay, what's wrong with these glasses?" ”
"These glasses are dirty." Winston uttered again, and at the same time handed his glasses to me with his casserole-sized slap, "Wipe it for me, my fingers are too thick to wipe." ”
……
I silently took the glasses it handed over, and then wiped them with my pure white sweatshirt.
Oh no, my sweatshirt is dirty after going through incidents like falling from a high altitude, stepping on a banana peel, etc.
It was my first new dress in three years, and it had been less than a day before it was dirty and cement-colored.
Winston's brow furrowed instantly, and he lowered his voice and threatened, "You are only a stinky zombie, if you wipe my glasses, I will use you as fertilizer to grow bananas." ”
"You can't grow bananas in Zhende Town, the climate is not ......" I saw the bruises on his face, and quickly shut up, and then pulled the curtain on the side to wipe his glasses again.
Don't ask me why the chimpanzee's black face is covered with green tendons, the blood vessels burst as thick as a water pipe, of course you can see it.
"Calm down, na, wipe it off." I gave him my glasses back.
"Alright, zombie, tell me, what the hell are you doing in the library?" Winston put on his eyes and looked at me with great wisdom.
What do I want to do? I don't want to do anything.
"I'm here to learn about history ......", I was a little overwhelmed, and kept rubbing my hands in embarrassment.
Winston: "And what do you want to do when you learn about history?" ”
Me: "If you don't do anything, you'll be bored." ”
Winston: "Fart, be honest, or I'll blow your dog's head off." ”
After saying that, he stood up, and the chimpanzee, which was 2 meters tall, brought me a strong sense of oppression.
I saw him clenching his casserole-sized fist, and if I couldn't answer, I was afraid that it would be hammered on my head in the next second.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you", I tried to pat him on the shoulder to relax, but embarrassingly, I couldn't reach it, so I had to pat his biceps.
I organized the language, "The purpose of my understanding of history is to answer three questions. ”
"Oh? Is it another problem? Let's hear it. Winston's fists were still clenched.
I raised my hand and raised three fingers in turn, "Who am I, where am I from, and where am I going?" ”
"Hahahaha, interesting, you're the most special zombie I've ever encountered." He burst out laughing, and even could see tears in the corners of his eyes.
He laughed for a while, and finally settled down on the table.
"Do you have an answer now?" This moody chimpanzee finally dissipated his hostility towards me.
"I have some clue about the first two questions. But the third ......," I shook my head, "I still haven't found the meaning of the zombies' existence." ”
I don't believe Winston that zombie fungi exist to get rid of humans.
I've infected other creatures, maybe at first zombie fungi could only infect humans, but in this apocalyptic decade, we've evolved to infect all vertebrates.
And after I have the Worm Corpse skill, I can also infect insects.
"I have a question, is the meaning of our zombies' existence really to exterminate all creatures on the earth, and then slowly perish themselves? Are there really creatures that exist to perish? ”
"I'm just a chimpanzee, how do I know." Now it was Winston's turn to tat me on the shoulder.
This slap was slapped, and even though my corpse was strengthened by a number of passive skills, he couldn't stand up.
You know, I fell from a height of 100 meters and only suffered a comminuted fracture.
"Let's live first." He grinned, baring his sharp fangs, "Of course if you want to die, I can give you a ride." ”
Tsk, what kind of guys have I met since I opened my mind, one is more violent than the other.
It was dark between conversations, and I hated traveling at night, but Winston didn't mind me spending the night.
He apparently thought of himself as a librarian.
We tacitly agreed not to talk again, because we were of different races.
From his words, it is not difficult to see that to him, I am just an interesting and unthreatening zombie.
It's just that this night, I slept very unpleasantly.
Chimpanzees snore, and they resounded in the sky.
You know, there will be no human beings sleeping and snoring in the last days.
Because they were all eaten by zombies.
And Winston can survive alone for 10 years, I am afraid that there is something else to rely on.
Coupled with the fact that he can speak to others, I can't help but suspect that he has a survival manual for another breed.
