Chapter 16 Cooking

The old woman touched the food I had brought back with her trembling hands, and she almost stopped breathing and heartbeat with joy. I prayed hurriedly: Don't die! Don't die! If you're dead, I'll have to eat your old, skinny bones......

Soon, the old grandmother came back from the excitement and said happily, "Prototype...... Grandma cooks for you! After saying that, he wanted to lift the rice bag on the ground. The rice bag was too heavy for her to lift at all.

Looking at her made me laugh in my little head, that's how humans are, how stupid they can be for food......

But then again, what the hell is that for humans? Wouldn't I be even worse, drooling at the thought of food......

The old grandmother couldn't pull the rice bag, and said helplessly: "Alas! Old...... It's already a person buried in the soil from the neck down......" chattered, trembling into the kitchen, groping a few times to find a basin to fill the rice.

I couldn't get past her pitiful appearance, and helped him move all the food into the kitchen. She cooks in the kitchen.

I watched the old grandmother cooking, although she couldn't see anything, but everything in the kitchen was where she could touch, and she seemed to remember where these things were, and she was very skilled at fiddling with these things.

Humans are such a nuisance! Eat food and cook it! It's still better than me, pull the prey over and eat it raw! I complained in my little head.

While cooking, my grandmother asked me, "Prototype, where is your home?" Is your family still around? ”

I thought about it, shook my head, and said, "I can't remember......"

"Can't remember? Why? The old woman asked.

I really didn't want to answer her brain-wrenching questions, because I couldn't remember what had happened before, and asking me was a vain question. I was afraid that she would keep nagging, so I tried to change her subject. But after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of any topics, so I finally chose the end of the world and zombies that I was interested in.

I whispered to her, "Grandma, do you know what zombies look like?" ”

"Child, grandma's eyes can't see, where have you seen zombies?" The old grandmother said helplessly: "But I heard it said on the radio that the eyes of zombies are blood-red, and they are red as if they are going to bleed......"

Listening to my grandmother, I took out the mirror from my crossbody bag and looked at myself......

My eyes were blood-red, red as if they were going to bleed......

"The skin on the zombies is rotten, and it smells like rotting corpses...... the old woman said.

Hee-hee, my skin is not rotten, it is pale, and the white one is a little scary...... That's the biggest difference between me and zombies! Oh yes!

"However, I seem to remember saying on the radio that some mutated zombies have bodies that are not rotten, but pale or light gray...... Some are even close to or exactly the same color as a person's skin! ”

Yes? What the? Isn't that what I'm talking about? I said in frustration.

The old grandmother continued: "Zombies have sharp teeth, and they can bite off people's necks in one bite! ”

I bared my teeth and stared hard into the mirror...... If the fangs hidden in my jaw don't pop out, just look at the teeth in my mouth, and there are three sharp teeth on the left and right sides of the upper and lower four incisors...... It should be different from zombies, right?

"Also, there is one of the most important characteristics of zombies...... It's they who eat people! No matter what they look like, as long as they want to eat people, they are zombies! The old woman said in a trembling voice.

Grandma's words made me shudder, and I seemed to fit all the characteristics of zombies. Could it be that I'm really a zombie? Impossible, right?

Immediately, my little mind was silently thinking: I don't want to eat people...... I don't want to eat people......

I thought, maybe I silently said "I don't want to eat people" a hundred times in my heart, maybe I really didn't want to eat people! But why do the corners of my mouth get wet at the thought of eating people?

Soon, the smell of rice spread out of the pot, and I sniffed, smelling the strange smell, and thought to myself: the only way to prove that I am not a zombie is to take a bite of this rice! But why do I want to vomit when I smell this smell and think of taking a bite of rice?

Yes! No more! I can't stand it! I just felt a twitch in my stomach and a foul smell coming up from my stomach. I hurriedly covered my mouth and ran out, and as soon as I reached the kitchen door, a foul-smelling sour water gushed out of my stomach and vomited onto the stone steps at the kitchen door. As soon as the stone steps came into contact with the acid water I spit out, white smoke rose and made a "clang" sound, and most of them were corroded in the blink of an eye.

When the old grandmother heard my movements, she turned to face me and said urgently, "Prototype, what's wrong with you?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”

I wiped the foul-smelling sour water from the corner of my mouth with my hand and replied, "It's a little uncomfortable...... Maybe I just ate something by while looking for food...... Ate something unclean, right? ”

"Huh? That's bad! Are you eating too much? You children may not know that it has been more than several months since the outbreak of the zombie virus, and some foods have expired now, and eating these expired things will definitely hurt your stomach! The old lady said urgently.

What did I just eat? It's the black pig with fangs just now. This black pig is alive, so it shouldn't expire, right? You won't have a bad stomach, will you?

Thinking of this, I quickly replied, "It's okay grandma, I'm really fine!" Just take a break. ”

"Wait, I want to see if there is any medicine at home...... We are in the middle of nowhere, and there is basically no medicine at home...... Think about it...... There is a health center in the southeast of the village, you can go and find it, there is a medicine called berberine, which is used to treat a lump stomach! ”

I secretly said: I can't cure my current illness with any medicine! There is only one medicine, which is to let me eat it after you eat yourself to gain weight!

Even though I think so in my little head, I definitely can't say that. Although in my eyes, my grandmother is my food, but I feel weird when I am with her, I always feel a little inexplicably like this grandmother, although staring at the corners of her mouth will drool, but I don't want to eat her immediately.

She said I was about the same age as her granddaughter. If you think about it, could it be that in my lost memory, I also have a grandmother who is similar to hers? What about a grandmother with blood-red eyes, gray-skinned skin and pointed teeth who loves to capture humans? My kind grandmother always liked to take me to the kitchen, put humans on the board, use her sharp nails to cut open human body cavities, and then pull out the entrails for me to guess what. But every time I guess wrong, I will say that the liver is the lungs and the spleen is the stomach...... But my grandmother never blamed me, and even though I guessed wrong every time, she rewarded me with a heart......

"Grandma...... I think my grandmother ......" I lowered my head and let out a deep groan at the thought of this.

"What, what comes to mind? Do you have a grandmother like me? The old lady asked me kindly.

I nodded and whispered, "Well, I seem to remember, there is a grandmother, and she is very special to me!" Give me all the best food......"

"Then do you remember where your home is?" The old grandmother said excitedly: "Although I haven't heard of the botanical research institute you mentioned, I know that the west side of our village is the Gobi Desert, and it is impossible for anyone to have a home." More than ten kilometers east of the village is the county seat, maybe your home is in the county seat. When we finish eating, grandma will accompany you to the county seat to have a look, and look for my granddaughter casually! ”

Hearing her mention the county for the second time, I was immediately interested. In my impression, the county seat seems to be a place where humans gather. There will definitely be humans out there!

Thinking of this, I asked excitedly, "Grandma, will there be humans in the county you said?" ”

The old woman shook her head and said, "Who knows? Maybe there are still people, right? But there will definitely be zombies...... It was said on the radio that after the outbreak of the zombie virus, 90% of the world's people have become zombies...... Alas...... It looks like the sky is really falling this time......"

When I heard that 90% of the world's human beings had turned into zombies, I was so depressed! I don't know if zombies can be eaten? If I can't eat it, how can I have enough food for the remaining 10% of the world's human beings? But on second thought, there should be enough to eat. Let's say that there were 10 billion people in the world before the zombie virus broke out, 9 billion became zombies, and there were 1 billion humans left. If I ate one a day, I could still eat 1 billion days...... 1 billion days! How many years? It's definitely more than tens of thousands of years...... Ha ha! My future is not entirely bleak!

As soon as I thought of this, I asked excitedly: "Grandma, you tell me where the county seat is, I'll go and see it now!" ”

The old grandmother smiled: "Look at you little girl, you look quiet and quiet, but you are still an anxious child!" After eating a full meal first, grandma will steam some steamed buns as dry food, let's take dry food, grandma will take you there, and grandma will protect you when you meet zombies. It's really no good, grandma let the zombies eat my old bones, you run away yourself! ”

After listening to my grandmother's words, I felt as if my little heart, which had been beating stagnantly, as if something had suddenly pierced me, and it felt really strange, I suddenly felt that I didn't particularly want to eat the food of the grandmother in front of me, and I felt that I wanted her to live forever......

Thinking of this, I said seriously: "Grandma, I don't need to eat dry food!" I ran very fast, and I ran for a dozen kilometers and I got there in a while. And don't forget, I'm a superpower, I have a lot of strength, I run very fast, I'm not afraid of zombies at all! Even if I can't beat the zombies, I won't be caught by the zombies! So you stay at home, I'll go to the county right now and see if there are any humans...... Also, help you find your granddaughter...... By the way, tell me, what is your granddaughter's name and where is she in the county? ”

After listening to me, the old woman ran out of the kitchen, took my hand and cried excitedly. Again, I saw two tears flowing from her gray eyes.

"Prototype...... Thank you so much...... Grandma doesn't know how to thank you...... Not only will you help me find so much food, but you will also help me find my granddaughter......" The old woman clutched my pale and thin little hands with his old and thin hands and cried.

I comforted, "Grandma, don't cry, cry again...... Crying again...... "I really don't know how to comfort her, where will I comfort a food?"

I could only pull out one hand and wipe the tears from my grandmother's face.

I took my fingers stained with grandmother's tears to my nose and sniffed it gently, it was the smell of humanity, the smell of grandmother. Stretched out his little tongue and licked it, the taste was very strange, very bitter, and not delicious at all. It seems that human tears are bitter.

The old grandmother pulled me for a while and hurried back to the kitchen to cook, she wanted me to eat the food she cooked. However, as soon as I remembered the taste of the rice just now, I wanted to vomit, where could I eat the food she cooked. So I can only make an excuse to say that I ate a lot when I found food just now, and I vomited again just now, and now I really can't eat it, so it's better to leave for the county seat now.

My grandmother couldn't resist me, so she had to promise me. She told me that the county seat was to the east, and that it was only possible to walk along the road to the east end of the village. Her granddaughter's name is Li Kexin, and she is in the fourth grade at Hope Primary School in the county seat......
