Chapter 27:

The little zombie is dead.
Can't jump around like a living person, and can't wander persistently for food like a zombie.
It doesn't take long for its flesh and skin to turn into dust, and its hard bones will melt into the soil after numerous winds and rains.
Jiang Miaomiao couldn't know whether his death was due to the end of his life, or he could not bear their torment for many days.
In any case, it died in their captivity.
This fact made her feel like a cruel executioner.
Back in bed that night, Jiang Miaomiao tossed and couldn't sleep. The next morning, with dark circles under his eyes, he asked Lu Qiming about one thing.
"Can we find a place to bury it?"
Its blood has provided them with security for many days. Finding a place to bury it instead of letting it expose the corpse to the wilderness is a reward.
Lu Qiming's original plan was to put its blood for two more days, and then throw it away after it was completely rotten to no use.
But looking at Jiang Miaomiao's sorrowful look, it was not easy to refuse, and nodded in agreement.
They can't go too far, nor can they bury people on the main roads of the city, so the best cemetery is the lawn by the artificial lake.
Sitting north facing south, facing the sun, there are flowers and grass, it can be regarded as a geomantic treasure.
The two acted separately. Jiang Miaomiao went to the neighbor's house next door, found a set of clean children's clothes for him to change, and found a car toy and stuffed it in his hand.
Lu Qiming took a small washbasin, squeezed the last essence of the little zombie, released all the blood that could be drained from its body, and stored it in the washbasin.
There is not much blood, they can use it two or three times at most, and how to get out afterwards is another problem.
But this is not what matters right now. The two put on protective clothing, smeared blood, opened the door, lifted the little zombie wrapped in a new sheet, and walked to the lake.
Lu Qiming had dug a small hole more than one meter long and half a meter wide there. They put the little zombie in it, covered it with soil, and inserted a warning sign pulled from the lawn on the head of the grave. The slogan on it has not faded. Small feet don't run around, Xiaocao smiles slightly.
If you are lucky enough to live to the end of the end of the world, and if you are lucky enough to meet his family, she can take them over and see.
Of course, that chance is very slim, but Jiang Miaomiao is willing to leave a thought.
When you survive in a difficult environment, you need to think about it, just like a piece of candy in your hand after drinking Chinese medicine.
Just think about it, the suffering of Chinese medicine will not be so unbearable.
She stood on the grass, looking at the tall buildings in the distance, and once again felt lucky that she was still alive.
Lu Qiming rested on the shovel for a while, lowered his eyes and said:
"We need to catch another zombie."
They have to eat and go out to look for supplies. Protective clothing alone cannot guarantee safety.
The most important task of catching zombies right now.
Jiang Miaomiao said, "Do you still use the previous method?"
"Yes, lead one into the villa and close the door to deal with it alone."
"Let me lead it."
She nominated herself, and Lu Qiming looked surprised.
"Aren't you afraid?"
I wanted her to stand on the stairs and shout, but she was beaten to death and refused to agree.
"I'm afraid." Jiang Miaomiao said: "But I'm even more afraid that you will be injured if you can't handle it alone."
Lu Qiming was even more surprised when he heard this.
"Do you care about me?"
What a hell.
Jiang Miaomiao eloquently said, "What's so strange about this, even if I have a dog stolen and eaten, I still feel distressed for half a month."
Lu Qiming couldn't laugh or cry, "Can't you say something nice to make me happy?"
She shrugged, packed her things and went home.
At night, the zombies became active.
A zombie passed by the door, with only one high-heeled shoe left on his foot, limping on the road.
The white dress has become extremely dirty, the mucus oozing out of the eye sockets washed away the eyeliner, and the long hair that should have been thick and fluffy has also become thinner due to the fall of the scalp.
There are no other zombies around it, and the nearest one is more than ten meters away.
It doesn't look very strong, and the speed is slow, it is a good choice for capturing.
Jiang Miaomiao made a gesture to Lu Qiming, opened the door, stood there wearing a single coat and carrying a small satchel, beckoning to the zombies, and shouting in a low voice.
"Hey, come in."
The other party turned his head dullly, his cloudy and dull eyes lit up after seeing her, and he sniffed hard, smelled the fresh vitality of her body, and rushed over excitedly.
Jiang Miaomiao receded while counting the beats, and at the same time, he squeezed the chainsaw in his bag, ready to press the switch whenever something went wrong to protect himself.
In just a few seconds, she retreated to the coffee table, and the zombies rushed into the villa.
Lu Qiming, who was lying in ambush behind the door, immediately closed the door, picked up the big bed sheet that had been prepared a long time ago, and jumped up to face it.
He is very skilled, and accurately put the zombies into the sheets.
Before Jiang Miaomiao could relax, he let go of the chainsaw, grabbed the rope, and ran over to help him tie it together.
Everything went smoothly, the two even smiled at each other, seeing joy in each other's eyes.
However, in the next second, the zombies that had been restrained even tore the sheets with their broken teeth and struggled.
Jiang Miaomiao was startled and at a loss.
Lu Qiming was also surprised, and whispered:
"Don't be afraid, this rope is a climbing rope, which has a great load bearing capacity. The lion may not be able to break it. Let's tie it up quickly."
She calmed her mind because of these words, and mustered up the courage to continue the tie.
The zombie's rotten throat made a terrifying cry, and slammed into the rope like a bull. Several times, the mouth was close to Jiang Miaomiao, and the stench hit her face.
She held her breath, gritted her teeth, and told herself don't be afraid, it was important to finish the thing at hand, and the zombies kept getting rope.
But there was a bang in the ear, and the broken rope bounced on her face like a strong whip, instantly drawing a blood stain on her tender cheek.
Then I heard Lu Qiming's urgent shout.
"Run!"
She was completely blindfolded and turned and ran in confusion.
A sharp claw grabbed her clothes and pulled her back desperately.
She turned her head and saw the open mouth of the zombie. She was so shocked that she couldn't even call for help.
At the moment of death, Lu Qiming picked up the chainsaw on her waist, pressed the switch, and cut at the zombie's head.
Flesh and flesh fly, and mucus splashes everywhere.
It wasn't until the upper body was almost split in half before it stopped panting.
The zombie fell to the ground and twitched, his hands still scratching on the floor, but he couldn't stand up anymore.
Lu Qiming cursed in a low voice, threw away the chainsaw, and turned to hug Jiang Miaomiao.
"Are you ok?"
The latter stared in panic, obviously already shocked, unable to respond to him.
He hugged her to the sofa, called a basin of hot water, scrubbed her face vigorously, and pinched her.
He unbuttoned her clothes and covered her tender breast with a hot towel.
After a series of operations, Jiang Miaomiao gradually recovered his sanity and heard Jiang Rourou's uneasy cry.
"Help...Help..."
She stretched out her cold hand.
Lu Qiming quickly held it and pressed it to his heart, comforting her in a low voice.
"It's okay, we are safe."
The strong and powerful heartbeat of the other party made her feel relieved. She sat up with lingering fears and saw the trembling corpse on the floor.
"Why is it so powerful?"
In terms of physique, it is not even as good as half of the golden half-butt.
But after the golden half-butt was trapped, he immediately lost his combat effectiveness.
Lu Qiming also felt surprised, and took her hand to the corpse, squatting down to check.
Jiang Rourou smelled it curiously, and Jiang Miaomiao quickly kicked it away.
"Go upstairs, don't stay here."
In case something happens again, they cannot protect themselves, so there is no room left to protect it.
Jiang Rourou was chased upstairs. She dragged her soft legs and brought gloves to both herself and Lu Qiming.
The two looked at the zombies carefully, and found nothing unusual at first, until Lu Qiming used a knife to scrape off the rotten flesh on its arms, exposing the joints, tugging hard, and his face changed.
"It seems...to be stronger."
According to the degree of decay, its bones cannot be as strong as they are now.
Jiang Miaomiao snorted in his heart, knowing that his good life was about to end.
In the original text, as time passed, the number of zombies decreased, but their power became stronger.
Originally, government troops could easily crush them with weapons, and they could counterattack back when they found the right opportunity.
Unexpectedly, the damage caused by the guns behind was minimal, but they were slaughtered several times.
The army has guns, and it is so difficult to deal with.
The most powerful thing in his hand is a small chainsaw, which is a bird to use against such a powerful monster.
Not to mention too far, the food in the villa can last up to half a month.
If they don't go out to replenish supplies in half a month, they will have to starve to death.
When the two realized this, their hearts were heavy and they didn't want to do anything else.
Jiang Miaomiao went back to the room, and Lu Qiming threw the lost zombies into the room where the little zombies were previously closed, locked the door, and went upstairs.
He went to the bathroom to rinse the slime and meat scraps on his body, changed into clean clothes, passed by Jiang Miaomiao's door, and knocked.
There was a tired woman's voice.
"I am going to sleep."
"Your face is injured. Is the wound applied with medicine? The rope is dirty and easy to get infected."
Hearing his reminder, she touched her cheek in hindsight, her fingers touched the tender flesh of the wound, and she breathed in pain.
No wonder her face has been numb.
Jiang Miaomiao opened the door, Lu Qiming held Yunnan Baiyao and disinfectant cotton in his hand, walked in and sat on the side of the bed to apply medicine to her.
Her curtains are pink, the quilt is pink, and her pajamas are pink.
There is a gouache flower painting on the wall, and the girl's heart is almost overflowing.
In normal times, Lu Qiming couldn't do without a few laughs.
But at this moment, looking at her terrible face, I only feel distressed.
"If you leave scars and lose your appearance, will you scold me to death?"
He told her that the zombies kept climbing rope.
If he didn't say that, she might be fine.
Jiang Miaomiao was still absent-minded in the sorrow that he could not live for long, and could no longer enjoy the delicious food and beautiful scenery.
"Just stay."
"you do not mind?"
She smiled bitterly, "Fate is almost gone, leaving a scar is nothing."
Lu Qiming frowned.
"Who said your life is going to die?"
"Is there any other choice? We can't even subdue a single female zombie. If they attack in groups in the future, they can only lie down and die."
She thought of something and patted her thigh regretfully.
"I should have brought the gas when I moved."
If you are unlucky when you touch the switch, you don't have a success, and you get half-dead and urinary incontinence, it will be more painful.
It is still reliable to turn on the gas.
When Lu Qiming heard her say this, his face became even more ugly.
"You have to have faith in us."
"Confidence is..."
Jiang Miaomiao wanted to refute a few words, but felt meaningless at the beginning, and stretched out his arm at him.
He was suspicious, "What are you doing?"
"Hug."
"???"
She took the initiative to hug him, her chest pressed against his chest, and their hearts beat strangely in unison.
"Anyway, I am still very happy to live with you. Now I only hope you promise me one thing. If one day I get bitten by a zombie, please don't save me, give me a good time."
She didn't believe that she had Lu Qiming's good luck, and she would not be infected even if she was bitten.
As long as you think about it, you will become like a zombie outside, without mind and emotion, wandering forever forever in order to eat human flesh, so bad that you have to go if your feet are broken, and your scalp is numb, and you don’t want to think for a second. Live like that.
It's better to die. She was going to die, but it was delayed.
Lu Qiming couldn't persuade her to finish the medicine for her, collect the things and say:
"Sleep well."
Maybe when she feels better, she will not be so pessimistic.
He walked out with something, Jiang Miao shrank under the bed and closed his eyes.
What happened today was so terrible, she replayed it over and over in her mind, couldn't sleep at all, and finally shouted at the wall.
"Lu Qiming?"
There was no response from the next door, and he was probably asleep.
Alas, he is such a nervous person, no matter what happens, it will not affect his sleep quality.
I really envy.
Jiang Miaomiao tried to fall asleep when the door was suddenly pushed open. Lu Qiming walked over with his pillow and drilled into her bed.
"I only sleep with you one night."
"Who wants you to accompany..."
She conditioned to push away, but when her fingers touched his warm chest, she immediately changed her mind and hugged him.
"Okay, thanks a lot."
They hugged each other politely. Lu Qiming sniffed the fragrant shampoo in her hair, and suddenly said:
"You still wear underwear often."
"what?"
"Otherwise, I will get my chest when I unbutton it, which is very embarrassing."
"..."
Jiang Miaomiao squeezed his fingers, "Didn't you say that there is no difference between the front and the back of me? What do you care about."
"It makes no difference when you wear clothes, you can take them off."
She couldn't bear it and punched him in the chest.
"roll!"
Lu Qiming laughed, rubbed her blasted hair, and hugged her into his arms.
"No kidding, go to sleep!"
Jiang Miao is so angry, where can he sleep?
But when his snoring sounded, she felt as if she had taken a sleeping pill, feeling relaxed, and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, Lu Qiming got up as usual to wash rice and cook porridge.
Jiang Miaomiao woke up very hard to get up early, wearing underwear specially when changing clothes, standing by the window watching idly.
She caught a glimpse of Lu Qiming putting rice in the rice cooker, and said quickly:
"Play less!"
Lu Qiming was puzzled, "Usually there is so much, do you have enough to eat less?"
"If you can't eat enough, you can bear it. If you eat two less, you can save a meal in a few days. We don't know when we can go out. We have to consider it for the future."
He chuckled.
"Oh, now I know that I think about it for the future and make progress! Okay, I will save two handfuls of rice."
The direct result of reducing the amount of rice is that after breakfast, the family of three licked their mouths at the empty bowl and was not full.
In order to divert attention, Jiang Miaomiao stretched her waist and walked to the window and said:
"We have to observe them, and know ourselves and the enemy to win every battle."
Because they can’t go out, the number of tableware is getting less and less, which can’t support the water consumption of a meal and throw a set, and can only reuse it.
Lu Qiming piled the dishes into the basin, took out the mobile phone from her pocket, and sat on the sofa and said:
"You observe, I will play for a while."
"You can play, the bowl is yours to wash."
She made a request.
"Yes, but you make lunch."
"Row."
The two reached an agreement and each did its own thing.
Jiang Rourou lay on its special mat and nibble on a slippers.
Jiang Miaomiao focused on observing the zombies outside the window, feeling that they seemed to be walking much faster, and quickly asked Lu Qiming to watch.
Lu Qiming was playing games with his mobile phone without raising his head.
"Are you sure it's not your psychological role?"
She took a closer look and was really unsure.
However, after a while, she whispered again:
"Damn! Come here!"
Lu Qiming paused the game and walked behind her.
"What do you see and become so excited? Do zombies engage in partying?"
She held his face anxiously and let him look at the zombie she had noticed.
"Watch it for yourself!"
It was a middle-aged male zombie, bloated, nothing special except that his stomach was rotten and his intestines dragged on the ground.
Due to the hot weather, its body attracted many flies to surround it and buzzed around it.
They discovered this situation a month ago, and for this reason they put a layer of gauze on the windows to prevent flies from coming in.
This is not a new discovery, Lu Qiming asked:
"What are you going to show me..."
Before he finished speaking, the zombie suddenly stuck out his tongue, sucked and swallowed the fly that was stopped by his mouth, swallowed without chewing.
Jiang Miaomiao said, "Did you see it? It's disgusting!"
Lu Qiming was silent.
In the past, zombies only ate humans and animals, not insects, because the presence of insects was too weak to be detected, and it didn’t matter if maggots crawled around on them.
Now that they even eat flies, it means...
He didn't think deeply about it, and didn't want to add trouble to himself.
Jiang Miaomiao looked disgusted, went to sit on the sofa, and muttered:
"Even if we get zombie blood in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to go out smoothly."
Lu Qiming sat opposite her, straightened his long legs and said:
"Don't think about it, come and play flying chess."
"At this time, you still want to play flying chess..."
Halfway through Jiang Miaomiao's complaint, he changed his mind, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you will cook lunch if you lose."
Lu Qiming lost her several sets in a row. She put her troubles behind, ordered a few dishes happily, and sat at the table waiting to eat.
During the day, someone accompanies me to pass the time. At night, when I sleep alone, my fear can't help but surface.
She had a nightmare all night. In the dream, she ran and ran, chasing and chasing the zombies, and ran to the rooftop of a building with nowhere to run, and was swallowed by the dwarf zombies.
Sleeping was more tiring than not sleeping, but when she woke up, she opened her eyes, and she saw Lu Qiming lying next to her, sleeping very hard with her arms around her.
Jiang Rourou also sneaked in and fell asleep on the carpet.
It's dawn, and the sun shines gently on them through the glass and thin curtains.
There is a house, a bed, food, and water.
There are dogs, and there are men.
It would be great if it was always like this.
Jiang Miaomiao broke free from the dark and desperate dream and lay on the soft big bed, looking at Lu Qiming's face with interest.
He is much more pleasing when he is asleep than when he is awake, at least he won't be half-dead with anger.
The line from the brow bone to the bridge of the nose is very beautiful, and the skin is good. I have never seen him use skin care products. It is so rough that the skin is still firm and elastic.
His eyelashes were still long, and Jiang Miaomiao was jealous when he saw him, and he wanted to squeeze it down and put it on his eyes.
She stretched out her finger, stroked her fingertips across his thick and dark eyebrows, and couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.
"If you want to see me, just look at it openly. Why peek while I'm asleep?"
Lu Qiming opened his eyes, with a playful smile on his lips.
Jiang Miaomiao withdrew his fingers and rolled his eyes.
"Don't be affectionate, I see you have goggles on your face."
"...You just pretend."
Lu Qiming went to the ground and went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. Jiang Miaomiao walked to the window to look at the scenery, and when he saw something, he screamed while covering his mouth.
"what happened?"
He took the toothbrush and came out with a mouthful of foam.
"look!"
Jiang Miaomiao pointed to that place. He looked in the direction of his fingertips, and saw a mutilated zombie lying on the empty ground outside the villa courtyard.
Zombies rot for a long time, and lack of hands or feet is common.
But its entire abdominal cavity was hollowed out, and only a few pieces of flesh remained on its limbs, and its bones were almost completely exposed, as if it had been gnawed madly by something.
Lu Qiming's expression became serious, and Jiang Miaomiao was particularly restless.
"Do you think it will be..."
Before he finished speaking, a group of zombies staggered over.
One of them passed by the corpse, squatted down and sniffed, holding up his arm and gnawing at the pitiful minced meat.
After a few bites, it suddenly fell to the ground and there was no movement.
The remaining zombies pounced on it.
After a weird cry that made the scalp numb, there was a skeleton on the ground.
The two of them hid behind the glass, witnessed the whole process, and were speechless in surprise.
The zombies were about to leave, one of them stopped in place and suddenly raised his head, blood-red eyes staring directly at them.
Jiang Miaomiao took a breath and quickly backed away.
Lu Qiming quickly closed the curtains.
The zombies rushed towards the villa, blocked by the hard wall.
The companions all left. It wandered for a while and couldn't get in, so it slowly left.
Lu Qiming stood by the window, opened the curtain and looked out, turning around and said:
"never mind."
Jiang Miaomiao recalled the scene and almost collapsed on the ground.
"They, why do they eat all kinds of things?"
Could this be the reason why they have become stronger?
Lu Qiming closed the window and patted her shoulder.
"Go wash and have breakfast first."
She helped him stand up, suddenly thought of something, and ran upstairs to look out.
The grave buried a few days ago has been cut open, and a small skeleton has been abandoned by the lake.
Lu Qiming walked behind her and whispered:
"I'm afraid the next days will be a bit tougher."
After having a meal, the two found out all the paper, packaging bags, clothes, etc. that could be used at home, and pasted them on the glass to prevent the zombies from seeing them.
The windows are no longer open, the garbage is not thrown out at will, try not to let the zombies smell their smell.
But this is the case, something unexpected happened to them.
That night, as night fell, Jiang Miaomiao was about to cook and turned on the lights as usual.
Before long, there was a violent knocking sound from the doors and windows.
