Chapter 44: Invitations of the Same Kind
Something melted between my lips and teeth, Gu Yu must have fed me something just now, I smashed my mouth, the taste was very fragrant, and when I tasted it, I immediately stared at my eyes, this is the smell of corpse vanilla, but it is not exactly the same.
The difference is probably that its taste is purer and thicker, but the freshness is slightly worse, like sun-dried mushrooms, as far as I know, corpse herbs can't leave the land, Gu Yu's hay is probably not easy to come by, I have the heart to ask clearly, but the body doesn't listen to use it at all.
Gu Yu pulled me out of the seat gap and put me on my back, this time it was different from the last time I was in prison, my strength had not recovered now, and I couldn't use the slightest strength of my whole body, like a lazy koala hanging on a tree.
"How long have I passed out? Tao and Tao are still in the supermarket. I was weakly spitting out words, and just one sentence was enough to take my breath away.
"Taotao?"
"Well, they're on the rooftop."
"Which supermarket?"
"Fu Duoduo."
Gu Yu replied in a muffled voice: "I'll send you out first." β
I hurriedly stopped: "No... No, they are dangerous. β
I was happy to see Gu Yu from the bottom of my heart, but Long Tao and Hu Tao were not out of danger yet, and if there were any questions, I had to wait until I found them to ask, eating corpse herbs, my physical strength was rapidly recovering, in fact, from the time I woke up, I found that I no longer craved flesh and blood.
I don't know if it's my willpower that has triumphed, or if the corpse vanilla is working, I finally don't have to worry about eating my new friends.
Gu Yu carried me through the decadent streets, I looked up and couldn't help but wonder, where did the zombies go? Why can't you see a single zombie on the street?
I craned my neck as much as I could, looking up at the sky, and found that the sky above us was covered in a fog as thick as gray smoke, and not only the blue sky and white clouds were invisible, but even the nearby buildings could not be seen clearly until they were more than three floors.
"This is ......" I leaned close to Gu Yu's ear, wanting to ask when the fog became thicker, but as soon as I opened my mouth, a sudden and violent sensation crashed into my brain, like a high-voltage electric current rushing straight to the nerve center, and a terrible and strong thought grabbed meβI wanted to eat him!
In fact, my movements were faster than my thoughts, and when I tried my best to control this terrible desire/desire, my teeth had already bitten his ears, but fortunately I didn't bite hard, Gu Yu's reaction was very fast, he tilted his head to the side, my teeth brushed against his ear, and finally only bit the tip of his tongue, and the pain instantly woke up.
"I'm sick!" Panic and helplessness made me almost collapse, I had just eaten corpse herbs, how could I want to eat people again? No, it's eating Gu Yu! When a person knows that the medicine that can cure his terminal illness is no longer effective, he will inevitably become discouraged and despairing.
I struggled to jump off Gu Yu's back, at this moment, I just wanted to be alone, I didn't want to see Gu Yu's surprised or disappointed eyes, even if I didn't want to admit it, I had to face the reality, I became a real zombie, I was finished......
Gu Yu stopped his steps and put me down, I wanted to run away while I still had the strength, but he just put me down, then gagged my mouth with a towel, and put on the kind of clothes full of straps that I had worn before.
"Bear with me." When he pushed the door and went out, I was suddenly very scared, afraid that I would be abandoned here, afraid that he would not come back, and even more afraid that he would come back, but I would become a monster.
I have been lucky since the end of the world, for the first time I tasted the bitter fruit of fate, I lay behind the counter of the stationery store, staring at the yellowed ceiling in a daze, if Minghe City became the end of my life, then all the previous efforts would be in vain.
After about twenty minutes, the door of the stationery store was pushed open again, and I was overjoyed, and immediately looked up at the door, but this sight made me feel cold all over my body, and my whole body felt like falling into an ice cellar.
There were two zombies standing at the door, a man and a woman, both of them were black-eyed zombies, their clothes were in tatters, and the skin on the surface of the corpses was almost rotten, like two walking muscle models, and even on the surface of the strong brown muscles, I could clearly see the texture lines.
To put it bluntly, they are like two skinned corpses, and whether they look beautiful or not is secondary, the main thing is that they open the door, and like a living person, they hold the doorknob and push it, and when the door is opened, they retreat out of the door.
My heart sank, knowing that there was something more powerful going to play, and sure enough, after a while, a woman walked in, she should be in her forties, and her whole body was no different from normal people except for those terrible black eyes.
In a place like Minghe City, where a group of corpses gather, if there weren't a few high-level zombies who were sorry for such a good 'environment', I thought that I might encounter a powerful zombie like Xiaoyu, but I didn't expect that I would be so passive.
As soon as Gu Yu hid me in the stationery store, she would be able to find her, either there was her eyeliner in the city, or her satellites in the sky.
"I know you're going to make a big move, but I advise you not to use it." As soon as the woman spoke, she almost made me laugh.
"Woo~" I want to say that I am not Zhang Wuji, but I can't say anything at all, so I have to respond symbolically twice, so as not to make her feel that I don't respect her, in front of competitors who obviously have an advantage, it is not wise to be hard-mouthed.
"Your companions are in our hands, and if you dare to run, we will eat them." The woman's appearance was originally very simple, but at this moment, it showed fierce malice, which seemed a little funny.
She said 'we' and 'they', and the two plural numbers revealed two pieces of information, one was that she was not the only high-level zombie like her, and the other was Long Tao, Hu Tao and Gu Yu, at least two of whom fell into their hands.
I nodded my head to show that I understood, and the woman smiled smugly, waved behind her, and two male zombies came in carrying the stretcher from the ambulance, and carried me outside on the stretcher.
The woman walked in front, followed by two male zombies carrying me, and finally the zombies of a man and a woman, and the road led by the woman was all narrow side streets, twisting and turning, but there were no obstacles on the way, apparently this was a special passage that had been cleared.
The woman walked to the end of a dark alley and stopped, she walked to the iron door at the end, knocked rhythmically on the iron door, knocked on it more than twenty times in a row, and the door responded, the same string of regular rhythms.
They seem to be very cautious, which makes me wonder a little, they are zombies, if a human knocks on the door, do they still use the code to confirm? If......
Before I could go down, the iron gate opened, and the ordinary zombies inside respectfully gave way to the woman, and my stretcher was carried into the iron gate, and there was a small white and green building in the courtyard, because at the back of the building, I could not see what this place was used for.
We entered the courtyard through the back door, and then entered the building through the back door, and when we entered the building, the two zombies, a man and a woman, did not follow, and the two zombies carrying the stretcher also withdrew after putting me in the hall on the first floor.
"Honestly wait." The woman turned and went upstairs, leaving me alone on a stretcher.
I turned my head to look at the left and right of the hall, and through the billboards and advertisements on the wall, I knew that this was a cultural school, and I thought to myself that this high-class zombie would really choose a place, and I was thinking about it, and there was a sound of clattering footsteps on the stairs, the sound of high heels stepping on marble.
The one who came downstairs really wore a pair of high heels, I was slightly surprised, it was the first time I saw a zombie wearing high heels, after the mutation of ordinary zombies, they had already lost their shoes, and the survivor women would not wear this kind of shoes that affect their speed when they run, so when they heard this once familiar voice, they were a little stunned for a while.
A woman in a gray professional suit walked downstairs, her hair tied in a neat ponytail, a white face, a small nose, and she was very young, not like a teacher, but like a receptionist in the admissions office.
Despite her amiable face, her dark eyes made me feel uncomfortable, like a walking dead possessed by some evil creature, and I squinted for fear that the evil creature in her body would get into my eyes, as is the case on TV.
"Hello, I'm the person in charge here, you can call me Shirley."
"Woo......"
"It's so pitiful, they treat you like this, I think we can talk."
Shirley looked sympathetic, crouched down and removed the towel from my mouth, and said, "You see, you treat them as friends, but they treat you like a mad dog." β
My current appearance is indeed easy for her to misunderstand, but she doesn't know that I am voluntary, but now I have no good fruit to eat with her, as the saying goes, a good man does not eat eye losses, my heart turned, I frowned, still silent, but there was a little anger in my eyes.
Shirley smiled and helped me to sit up, but without untying the strap on my body, her voice sounded very comfortable, and she must have known it, so she used it to her advantage as much as she could, and she deliberately softened her voice and said:
"We are all unfortunate people, treated as monsters by our relatives and friends, wandering around, and enduring loneliness, the most terrible... It's those people in the safe zone who often send people out to encircle and suppress, but we are also flesh and blood and feelings, and we used to be human beings, who doesn't want to live well, can't they leave us a way to live? β
"Ouch......" I sighed lowly, not admitting that she was right, but indirectly expressing my sympathy with her.
Seeing this, Shirley continued to work hard and said: "We don't ask for anything else, just a place to live, I believe that as long as one person contributes, they can always survive, and new humans like us should unite and fight for the right to survive." β
"New humans?" I was intrigued by this new vocabulary.
"That's right, calling zombies is their misunderstanding of us, you say, what don't we look like people? In fact, it's just people, but they've evolved and become stronger, so they're scared and don't want to admit it, call us zombies, treat us as monsters, and hunt us at will, do you think that's fair? β
"Well, it's not fair." If human cannibalism counts as evolution, it would be too unfair to ordinary humans.
"You must have also experienced the feeling of being disgusted and hunted down, I know what it feels like, Sister Guixiang also came here like this, although our conditions are limited, at least we can ensure that everyone has food to eat and a place to rest, and the military will not send people in, it is easy to solve it once in a while, are you willing to join us?"
