"Because, I've also been scratched by zombies."

I looked at her and said it word by word, and without waiting for her to doubt it, I continued, "Remember the last time we met? I gave you a gun..."

After a slight pause, as if to bring back her memories, I continued, "At that time, I was scratched by a zombie... I'm sorry, I didn't think about sending you to a safe place at the time, I'm sorry. ”

There was still a little doubt in her eyes, but I could see her trembling hands and quivering eyes, which were longing: "That...

I knew she was trying to ask me why I hadn't become like her, she wanted to seek hope from me, and I was happy to give her hope: "I ate the heart of a monster..."

"The heart of a monster?"

Her pupils shrank slightly, "You mean... If I eat it, I might recover?" ”

I nodded, but my tone was not too sure, and I didn't dare to say what the chances were, so I could only say that things were on the bright side: "It should be, at least this is also a way, a hope, isn't it?" ”

I could feel her inner struggle, perhaps considering whether to believe what I said, but she finally made her choice, and her complicated and excited crimson face became calm: "I might try it too." ”

As she spoke, she looked at me with a hint of hope in her eyes, hoping to be recognized by me.

"Yes, you have to try."

Seeing that she agreed, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, this should also be expected, every desperate person on the verge of death, once there is a glimmer of life, they are willing to try, no one really wants to die, people who really want to die, all because there is no hope at all, and it is more painful to live than to die.

In fact, I am also selfish in doing this, if she really doesn't eat cannibalism like the goddess, then she is a good helper, she can control the zombies, in this way, we can generally avoid encounters and fights with zombies when we travel, and we can reduce losses and resources very well, thinking, I said, "Then you... ”

But to my disappointment, she shook her head and said, "Come back in a week, and take me away if I'm still alive." ”

Although it didn't achieve my goal, I wasn't very disappointed, but she wasn't as quick as I thought, and she wanted to get the heart of my so-called monster to devour, which surprised me at the same time, and I was also a little nervous in my heart, afraid that she would be swayed by despair.

"Take her back."

She pointed to the little girl, who looked like a porcelain doll with her limbs twisted, and it looked like she couldn't survive.

"Will she be able to save her?"

I frowned.

"I don't know." She shook her head: "But she has been with me for more than ten days, and although her breathing and heartbeat are weak, she is much better than she was then, if you can, save her." ”

"It's been ten days and you haven't died? Haven't eaten yet? "I was amazed.

She nodded, "I haven't eaten, but I've fed her water." ”

This is strange, is it really possible for this little girl to be saved?

After thinking about it, I nodded: "I'll try my best." ”

"Well, okay, then you guys can go first, I'm a little sleepy." As she spoke, she yawned, rubbed her stupid head with her hand, and comforted her.

I walked over and gently picked up the little girl, for fear of touching her twisted limbs, for fear of causing her a second injury, and carefully blew the dust on her face, although the little girl had her eyes closed, her face was pale and thin, but I could see that she was very cute, like a porcelain doll discarded in the garbage.

I really didn't know that there was anyone so mad that they would brutally break the limbs of such a lovely little girl, and the thought of it made me feel a breath of anger that made my heart palpitate.

"That's right."

Just as I was holding the little girl, who probably weighed less than thirty pounds, urging the silly to walk back, she stopped me.

"What's the matter?"

I asked, turning my head.

"Your name." She said.

"Oh, my name is Zhou He, what about you?"

I skillfully pronounced the name, hiding my real name in the depths of my heart, and maybe one day, it can reappear.

"Zhang Tingting."

She also said her name, but inadvertently, I thought of another person, that familiar and unfamiliar name, I don't know when, it made me remember it so deeply.

"One more thing." She continued, not aware of my state at the moment: "Half a month ago, I encountered a bunch of zombies, and they were being manipulated... However, it was a zombie that controlled them. ”

Hearing her say this, I was immediately surprised: "You mean, zombies also have the ability to control other zombies. ”

"Nope."

She shook her head: "Not only that, the zombie that can control other zombies should have wisdom." ”

Wisdom?

Zombies have intelligence?

The first thing that came to my mind was the word 'absurd', but when I thought about it, my hands and feet were cold, and my scalp was numb・・・・・・

I can hardly imagine.

"However, at that time, it treated me as a kind of person and wanted to control me, but I had the same ability as it, resisting each other, and it couldn't do real harm to both sides, and after that, it began to chase and kill me all the way, and even manipulated other zombies to chase and intercept me, and create obstacles, even traps, if I hadn't seen its true face, I even suspected that controlling those zombies was almost artificially manipulated, because their attack was no longer a simple chase and bite, but cooperating with each other, creating traps, and hunting."

She said and yawned again, "Well, that's it, I'm asleep." ”

"Good night."

I said goodbye softly, leaving this filthy sewer, but the mood was strangely heavy and complicated, I originally thought that the biggest enemies of human beings would be those monsters from the universe, but I didn't expect that those zombies that I ignored also possessed terrifying abilities, such as they can evolve into that scarlet tough body by eating, I didn't expect that even wisdom can be had.

However, I can't think of any way to inform others? Say zombies have intelligence? Joke. Who will believe me? Even if you believe it, what if you believe it? Who cares? I just hope that the wisdom of those zombies is not the same as that of people, maybe it's just that what Zhang Tingting said is too serious, and it is exaggerated with exaggerated language, perhaps, they are like wolves at best, but they just have a simple hunting instinct?

Thinking about it, comforting the somewhat uneasy heart, the tense and heavy emotions were slightly relieved. Yes, self-soothing is actually a kind of self-hypnosis, it has a self-healing effect like Ah Q's spirit... It's just hope, everything is just what I imagined.

I kept turning around, and my eyes revealed a little reluctant Silly Dali returned to the place where the car was parked, and seeing that Silly Dali was not in a high mood, I had to comfort him: "Don't worry, she will be with us in a week." ”

"Oh, a week."

Stupidly heard my words, stretched out his hand, and counted it with his fingers, and after counting for a long time, he couldn't count how many days and how many fingers a week was.

"Get in the car and count slowly, don't be in a hurry." I gently hugged the little girl, opened the car door, and let Silly Dali in.

After getting into the car and closing the door, I handed the little girl to Yu: "Hold her, gently, don't hurt her." ”

We started to go back the way we came, the sun was getting hotter and hotter, and inadvertently, it was already past noon, and I didn't know if we could go back for lunch.

Maybe it was because I was in a hurry to go back, so I drove the car very fast, and the pedestrians swaying on the street quickly avoided it, maybe in their eyes, I was also like the rest of the convoy, despise human life, but in fact, no, knowing that there were cannibals in the city, I felt an uncontrollable disgust for the wanderers wandering around, although I knew that this emotion was very undesirable, and those who were mad were only a few.
