Behind the small courtyard of the farmhouse is my own vegetable garden, the harvest season in the north is early, the vegetable field after October is only bare land, in the west corner of the courtyard wall can see the vegetable cellar mouth pressed with stones, I walked to the side, moved away the stone that pressed the wooden board cover, Gu Yu and Long Tao stood beside me, but did not mean to help.

I helped Long Tao with a flashlight, and the strong light of the military flashlight suddenly shone on the bottom of the vegetable cellar, in fact, when I was close to the vegetable cellar, I smelled blood, and I saw it with my own eyes at this time, but I was still slightly surprised.

I saw a bucket on the ground at the bottom of the cellar, and the bucket contained minced pieces of meat, and the taste of flesh and blood undoubtedly belonged to humans.

Long Tao twisted his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yu, the latter's expression was also very solemn, we all saw the rope thrown next to the entrance of the vegetable cellar, there was an iron hook at the end of the rope, it was obvious that this was used to carry buckets, and someone was raising zombies.

But the cellar is in the shape of a wine jug, and you can't see the whole picture below from the entrance, I believe that the zombie that was raised is still there, although it is strange, I can't feel it, but my intuition tells me that the zombie below has not been taken away by the person who raised it, and the evidence is that the bucket of fresh human flesh has not been taken away.

After Gu Yu and Long Tao looked at each other, their eyes looked at me together, and my heart suddenly burst into action, and I said vigilantly: "What are you looking at me?" ”

Gu Yu didn't speak easily, Long Tao naturally became his spokesperson, he squinted his eyes and smiled at me: "Lei Feng, thank you for your hard work." ”

"I do good deeds without leaving a name, it doesn't mean that I am a desperate Sanniang." I looked at the rope and wondered if if the zombies below would appear if I hoisted the bucket up, when I suddenly felt a pain in my back and threw my body forward uncontrollably.

"Bastard—" My voice fell with a line of wavy lines, but luckily the cellar was deeper than the dry well, giving me time to hold on to the walls of the cellar for a split second in my reaction.

"Don't be afraid, zombies don't eat their own kind." Long Tao said 'comforting' words and chased him down.

I snorted, gritted my teeth and scolded: "The frog at the bottom of the well, the guy who has never seen the world~"

I sneezed twice in a row with the smell of rot in my face, and the flashlight just fell off, and I was lying in the bucket at the moment, and I wanted to fish it out, but in the end I gave up, I didn't want to hold a flashlight stained with flesh and blood.

The autumn harvest season has passed, and a large number of autumn vegetables should have been hoarded here, but the baskets on the side of the wall are empty, maybe after the autumn harvest, people are busy dealing with the changes, and they have not had time to transport the vegetables into the vegetable cellar, or someone has emptied this place in advance.

The basket, which is less than half a person high, can't hide an adult, and as I looked around, the contents of that photo flashed in my head.

"Baby? Baby... Come out...", I called softly with the mindset of trying it out.

A basket in the corner of the wall moved, and I immediately turned my head to look at the position, and saw that it was different from the others, it was upside down and buckled to the ground, and it swayed from side to side with my cry.

"Baby?!" I screamed again.

The basket moved a little forward with my voice, and I was already sure that the zombie we were looking for was hidden under the basket, so I drew the knife hidden at my waist as I walked towards it.

The knife may be blunt against adults, but it is more than enough for children, I slowly approached the basket, reached out to uncover it, and was about to swing the knife with the other hand, but suddenly stopped.

By the light of the flashlight in the bucket, I saw a pink baby looking at me with a fleshy little face, this child did not look like a zombie at all, and the mouth that had just grown four small teeth grinned at me, smiling innocently and innocently.

But the dark brown blood on her mouth was enough to prove it, and she crawled to my feet on all fours, her eager eyes clearly signaling to me that she wanted to 'hug'.

She had been living in the cellar for some time, and her clothes were covered with dust and dried flesh, and her hands could not be seen, and the thought of her eating made my hairs stand on end.

It is true that this child is a special case, her appearance is not zombie, if she is washed and held in front of ordinary people, no one will see that she is a zombie.

The person who called the military for help, I'm afraid he also planned to do the same, there were no other living people in the village, the child's food source was about to be cut off, her relatives wanted to find new food for her, but some people objected to it, so there was a disagreement within the family, we don't know the process, but the result was already in front of us, the little zombie was unattended, and we found it.

"What did you find?" Long Tao's voice came down from above.

"There's an important discovery, you put the rope and prepare to carry the bucket up." I walked around the back of the little zombie, hugged her chest and abdomen and clamped her, then hooked the handle of the bucket with the rope that hung down, loaded the little zombie into the bucket, pulled the rope, and signaled that Long Tao could pull up.

The little zombie left the vegetable cellar and did not attack Long Tao, allowing Long Tao to carry the bucket and put her in the open space next to her, Long Tao still had scruples about her, and did not directly touch the handle of the bucket, but kept pulling the rope and keeping a distance from her.

"Second Lieutenant Long, give you a little knowledge of popular science, there are really zombies that eat the same kind in this world, remember!" I crawled out of the vegetable cellar and dusted my clothes to the dust, and then picked up the stubble when Long Tao pushed me down.

"It seems that it is still the same kind and understands the same kind." Long Tao said hintly.

"Strictly speaking, I have two kinds, one of which is much simpler than the other." Not to be outdone, I replied.

Long Tao glared and was about to fight back, but Gu Yu interrupted us: "The mission is over, evacuate tomorrow morning." ”

Gu Yu's temper Long Tao understands better than me, he immediately shut up when he heard this, and pointed to the little zombie in the bucket: "How to deal with it?" ”

Gu Yu nodded at me with his hand: "Wash it and bring it." ”

As soon as Long Tao heard that there was nothing to do with him, he ran away happily, although I didn't want to take the job of this nanny, but after all, they are all human beings, if the little zombie is hungry and bites someone, even if the skin is broken, it will mutate, Gu Yu can't let his people take this risk.

The gas tank in the kitchen can still be used, I boiled some hot water, washed the little zombie, she looks the same as ordinary people, in fact, it is several times stronger than ordinary babies, otherwise how can she live in the cold vegetable cellar for so long.

Wen Boran heard the movement and came out to see what was going on, and saw that we found a baby zombie, and the appearance was no different from a human, and I took advantage of his efforts to circle around the little zombie in the laundry tub, entered the bedroom assigned to him, and turned out two sets of baby clothes from the closet.

The little zombie who changed into clean clothes was more white and cute, and the big black grape-like eyes were very interested in Wenbo Dye, and one person and one corpse were 'affectionately looking at each other', I stepped forward to separate Wenbo Ran:

"She's teething, be careful she bites you."

Wen Boran listened but didn't care: "I have no resistance to becoming a new species. ”

I sneered, "Ah, that's it, such a big baby can eat solid food, and the meat in that bucket is almost bottoming out, just right." ”

Wen Boran shrugged indifferently and said provocatively: "Eating meat and being a vegetarian depends on ability. ”

After saying that, he left me with a soft back, and I wondered if he was an invertebrate, a new species in itself, and compared to Gu Yu's javelin-like body, he looked like a walking hemp rope.

But his last sentence, I listened to it, the zombie tide broke out, the survival of human beings is threatened like never before, in this chaotic period, whether it is a human or a corpse, if you want to survive, you have to rely on your ability.

I fished the little zombie out of the water, and I couldn't help but sigh, a weak life like a little zombie that has no ability to hunt and eat can't survive in any group.

The truth is that the world has changed, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and I have always thought about my parents, and I have never thought about others, as if everything has to come after 'me', first 'me', and then, maybe one day, when everything settles, I will think of the needs of others.

Putting the little zombie neatly dressed on the bed, I had a contradiction in my heart for the first time, this little life has nothing to do with me at all, she is either left to fend for herself, or taken by the military to study, no matter what the fate is, it's none of my business.

But as a human conscience, it reminds me that helping the weak and saving lives is not a feather, and my own life is not as heavy as Mount Tai.

Although I could smash the zombie's rotten face with an axe, I couldn't end the baby's life, what should I do in the face of her?

Three soft sounds interrupted my thoughts, and when I looked up and saw Gu Yu standing at the door, he withdrew his hand from knocking on the door, and I said 'please come in' out of habit.

Gu Yu came in and first looked at the little zombie on the bed, the little zombie was used to being fed, and he didn't know that the handsome guy in front of him was food, and grinned at him.

"There used to be people who kept wolves in their homes, fed frozen mutton every day, and when the wolf grew up, they brought the sheep to it, and it could coexist peacefully with the sheep." Gu Yu said slowly.

"But the wolf still eats mutton, what do you keep her in captivity and feed her?"

"Like you, Corpse Vanilla."

"To put it lightly, corpse herbs are not green lawns on the side of the road, they can be seen everywhere?"

"Since it grows in ordinary land, there must be a way to cultivate it."

I heard Gu Yu's tone not like casual talk, so I asked, "Have you started artificial planting?" ”

Gu Yu didn't admit or deny it, I instantly realized that he intended to reveal the news to me, otherwise with his style, not a word would be leaked.

"But the zombies who eat the corpse herb will turn into a corpse leader, and feed the zombies with the corpse herb, isn't it counterproductive?"

"The Corpse Boss is an evolution of a zombie who has already tasted human flesh." As he spoke, his eyes suddenly became a little deeper: "You will help us." ”

"Do you think I didn't turn into a corpse because I didn't eat anyone?"

"Have you eaten?"

"Nope!"

"It's important and it saves a lot of people."

The tone in which he said this had never been 'soft', and my heart moved, like a string being flicked by my fingertips, very light, but with an aftermath.

His kindness is in the face of everyone, but I can't help but put myself in the role, if I don't get the help of my benefactor, I will still be the monster trapped in the bedroom, and my parents' expectations will be disappointed, but if the plan revealed by Gu Yu succeeds, it will be the only hope for a family like ours.
