Chapter 44 Whose Good Mushroom Can Talk About People?
The zombies arrived suddenly, and Meng Xiaoyou and the others didn't have time to refuel the car. They could only retreat and find a house nearby to hide in.
At this moment, Jia Buren was still somewhat conscious. He propped up his heavy body, swayed, and sat up, looking at Lü Yingying, who was being bitten, with a look of horror on his face.
You won't immediately turn into a zombie after being bitten by one; there's an incubation period of about one or two hours.
First comes a high fever, then the blood congeals, the brain gradually loses consciousness, and then it becomes a walking corpse, hunting and tearing humans apart with its own kind.
In a way, zombification might still be a quick and painless way to die.
Even worse are the unlucky ones who, after being bitten by zombies, are swallowed whole, bite by bite.
Zombies aren't picky; they'll eat anything as long as it bites them, no matter where or what it bites.
What's truly horrifying is that they start gnawing at the feet. As the human struggles, they are helplessly pulled back, feeling the flesh on their legs being torn apart, blood and intestines spilling out. But they never manage to eat the brain, so the human remains half-dead for a while, continuing to enjoy the feast that death brings.
Jia Buren watched as Lü Yingying was overwhelmed by zombies, and he was their next target.
"Tang Shengnan..." he called out his girlfriend's name subconsciously.
In the past, Tang Shengnan always shielded him from whatever happened. Now, he was like a maggot in a latrine, constantly shifting and trying to find Tang Shengnan and seek her help.
This time, no one stood in his way.
What did he say before?
"You're just fighting zombies, don't you rely on me to gather supplies?"
However, now he could only helplessly watch the zombies walk towards him. Without the protection of a superhuman, he had no ability to pick up any stragglers.
Jia Buren was injured in the head and couldn't get up for a while. The sickening chewing sounds echoed through the streets as the zombies devoured fresh flesh.
Only when the target has bled dry and lost its human warmth does it look around blankly, searching for its next target.
As darkness fell, the mangled body began to move, slowly shifting across the ground, leaving a trail of blood, as it joined the zombies in their search for humans...
--
After all that trouble, a day had passed. After the zombie horde left, Meng Xiaoyou and her group filled up the car with gas and decided to stay in the house for the night before setting off the next day.
The stairwell was empty; most of the humans had already moved away. At night, the entire city fell into a deathly silence. I went upstairs and looked at several apartments. Some doors were tightly closed, while others were open. There was no one inside, only a few zombies wandering around.
They were severely zombified, but their rank wasn't high. They could be easily dealt with without even needing to be shot in the head. It seems they were unprepared at the beginning of the apocalypse, opened the door when they encountered zombies, got bitten by them, and didn't leave the house, so they just lingered there.
At this moment, Pei Sinian's water-based superpower came in handy. Streams of water, like tornadoes, swept up all sorts of messy things, turning them around like a washing machine, and then thoughtfully drained away the moisture, drying them very quickly.
After hiding in the room, Tang Shengnan was somewhat silent. While the hardworking snail man was drying the sofa cushions, Meng Xiaoyou felt bored. After what happened later that day, she was no longer afraid of Tang Shengnan, so she went over to comfort him: "Don't be sad, you can have many boyfriends."
A drop of cold water was flicked over and hit Meng Xiaoyou right between the eyebrows, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She wiped it off and continued to comfort Tang Shengnan.
"Don't be sad. Actually, that man isn't good-looking either. He's not as good-looking as Pei Sinian. In the future, you should make friends with people who are better-looking than Pei Sinian."
As soon as she finished speaking, the water droplet turned into an ice flower, stinging her.
She exclaimed in surprise, touched her face, and found nothing there. She leaned closer to Tang Shengnan, "Quickly, can you take a look? What's on my face?"
The little girl's face was bare, her delicate face as white as jade, her large eyes almost taking up the largest proportion of her face, her curled eyelashes fluttering nervously, and her black pupils seemed to be adorned with tiny sparkles of light.
Tang Shengnan's gaze fell on the ice flower that had disappeared between her eyebrows. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the man's eyes had never left Meng Xiaoyou, and she quickly pinched the soft flesh of Meng Xiaoyou's cheek.
Withdrawing his hand amidst the girl's bewildered expression, he said, "There was water in there, let me wipe it for you. Actually, I'm not that sad, I just can't understand why I fell for this scoundrel in the first place."
She explained in detail.
Actually, although Jia Buren was a bit weak back then, he wasn't like this. At least he pretended very well in front of Tang Shengnan, and with his decent face, he became Tang Shengnan's boyfriend.
He took on the responsibility of being her boyfriend, bringing her breakfast every day and driving her to and from school every evening, being extremely attentive.
In the apocalypse, there are no moral boundaries. Apart from her superpowers, she has nothing but money. Jia Buren naturally tears off his disguise and seems to have become a different person.
It's like before the apocalypse; some women only discover their boyfriends' violent tendencies after marriage, and then face a lot of trouble to get a divorce, not to mention having to wait for a divorce cooling-off period.
She's just experiencing this earlier than expected; there's nothing to be sad about. In the apocalypse, survival is the most important thing. Men are nothing compared to looking at pretty girls.
Tang Shengnan sighed, looking wistfully at Pei Sinian, who was eyeing Meng Xiaoyou menacingly behind her. How did she end up with a boyfriend?
If her boyfriend is still so possessive of her food, and she touches her pretty little thing a couple more times, it'll probably get the same treatment as those old, discarded trash items—being washed away by the man with water.
Tang Shengnan restrained himself from squeezing Meng Xiaoyou's hand and sighed with worry: "Be more careful, no man is any good."
Thinking of Jia Buren's actions, Meng Xiaoyou blurted out, "Men are all the same!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she remembered that there seemed to be a human behind her. She timidly turned around and saw Pei Sinian staring at her, his indifferent eyes containing a hint of danger.
She swallowed hard and whispered, "You're not a man."
Pei Sinian: "..."
"Hahaha, how could you do this..." Tang Shengnan burst out laughing at this moment, reaching out to pinch her cheeks. The next second, the little beauty was grabbed by the back of her neck and pulled away from Tang Shengnan.
Meng Xiaoyou struggled for a moment, then was dragged away.
Standing helplessly in front of the wall, he leaned against it and raised his hands in surrender.
"You're wrong, you're wrong. Men have one good thing, and that's you."
The zombie looked at her dangerously, exuding a strong sense of oppression. Meng Xiaoyou knew that the more she said, the more mistakes she would make, so she simply lowered her head and pretended to be dead.
She didn't do it on purpose. Human language is so profound and complex, isn't it normal for a mushroom like her not to speak human language?
The best mushrooms can talk.
Thinking of this, the little mushroom straightened its back, confidently tilted its head back, and thought timidly to itself, "Could it possibly hit any more mushrooms?"
