In the seventh year of the zombie apocalypse, in mid-July, the noon sun was scorching the earth.
In the wilderness covered with wild grass, several plump goats chewed the bright green wild grass leisurely.
Zhang Zhe, holding a piece of foxtail in his mouth and holding his samurai sword in his arms, lay bored on the grass not far away, staring at the blue sky in a daze.
Five years ago, it was the second year after the zombie apocalypse broke out.
Zhang Zhe, Qiqi and others accompanied Jiang Lan, who was pretending to be General Luo Zitong of the L City military base, when they were conducting peace negotiations with representatives of the wolf clan on the Baishi Bridge at the junction of L City and H City. Unfortunately, they fell into the opponent's trap.
of a trap.
In order to protect his sister Qiqi from escaping safely, he was unfortunately bitten on his right forearm by a half-zombie with the White Wolf King gene developed by the wolf tribe. After the infected zombie virus entered the body, the virus and Zhang Zhe's body were once considered to have failed.
The famous zombie virus vaccine mutated, turning Zhang Zhe into a half-zombie with zombie abilities.
Because Moxi, who is also a half-corpse, said that in the eyes of living people, these non-human beings who are half-corpses are monsters that scare the living people and want to get rid of them.
At that time, Zhang Zhe knew that he had become a half-corpse and had nowhere to go, so he left the white stone bridge with Mo Xi, leaving behind all the family members he cared about and everything he had to give up.
In the following five years, Zhang Zhe, who had become a half-corpse, had been wandering around with Mo Xi and their daughter in this apocalyptic world to avoid living people.
It wasn't until July a year ago that I lived in seclusion in an unknown small village near K city with few living people.
During these five years, he was always thinking about his and Zheng Yiran's three children, the little girl Qiqi and others.
But as a non-human half-corpse, he could never return to them.
He also thought about making up a lie like Mo Xi once did. He returned to the nursing home to see the little lunatic Zheng Yiran, hug Kawaii and the other three children, and talk to the little girl Qiqi.
Chat, brag with Ma Da, listen to Grandpa Zhang...
But he couldn't go back. He was afraid that once he returned there, he would never be able to leave. He was afraid that Zheng Yiran would discover his identity as a half-corpse, which would undoubtedly be the greatest harm to that little lunatic.
Rather than go back and let that little lunatic get hurt a second time, it would be better not to disturb her, not to meet her, and to disappear into their world forever.
The world belongs to the living. Since I can no longer go back, I will never go back.
In fact, this is fine. During the day, the family of three herds sheep in the wilderness and looks for various wild vegetables. At night, they tell bedtime stories to their daughter in their arms. In the blink of an eye, the three of them have been together for a year.
I live quite a relaxed life here.
I really hope that no living people will ever bother them in this inaccessible little village. In this way, their family of three will not have to have any contact with living people who are afraid of them.
In this way, he and Moxi's daughter grew up slowly, and their family of three lived in this apocalypse forever.
While Zhang Zhe was lying on the grass looking at the sky in a daze, his daughter Zhang Yuxuan's childish voice came from afar.
"Dad, dad, mom asked me to call you."
"There's something going on over there. Mom wants you to go over there."
After hearing his daughter's cry, Zhang Zhe, who was lying on the grass, immediately got up from the grass.
She looked at her daughter who was wearing a white dress, with long black hair, bare feet, and holding a pink sun hat in her hand, running towards her quickly and said with a smile.
"Okay, dad is coming over right now!"
Six-year-old Zhang Yuxuan has inherited the high-quality genes of Zhang Zhe and Mo Xi. She is very handsome and cute at a young age, with a fair and pink face like a cute porcelain doll.
After running quickly to Zhang Zhe, he hugged Zhang Zhe's thigh, looked up at Zhang Zhe, blinked his big eyes, and spoke innocently.
"Dad, Dad, my mother and I found a few zombie heads over there. They have no bodies, and their mouths are still opening and closing!"
"Mom said it was strange and said the incision was very neat. She asked you to come over and have a look."
After reaching out to pick up his daughter and letting her ride on his neck, Zhang Zhe looked into the distance. He was wearing a black camisole, his long black hair tied into a bun, squatting on the grass with his back to him, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Moxi asked gently to her daughter who was riding on his neck.
"Yuxuan, tell dad, mom where is she?"
"Daddy can't find mommy. He needs daddy's little baby to help him point the way."
Zhang Yuxuan, who was riding on Zhang Zhe's neck, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Mo Xi and said in a childish voice.
"Dad, dad, mom is there!"
After hearing his daughter's words, Zhang Zhe raised his legs and ran in the direction of Mo Xi, while smiling at his daughter who was riding on his neck.
"Dad found mom, we have to go find mom to report!"
And just when Zhang Zhe and his daughter were about to run up to Mo Xi, Mo Xi, who had been squatting on the grass with his back to the two of them, suddenly spoke loudly to Zhang Zhe behind him.
"Don't bring your daughter here!"
"Come here by yourself and let Yuxuan go play somewhere else first!"
As soon as Mo Xi finished speaking, Zhang Zhe put the daughter riding on his neck on the grass. Looking at his precious daughter with a wry smile and about to say something, the well-behaved and sensible Zhang Yuxuan immediately spoke.
"Dad, you and mom are busy, I went over there to play."
"Remember, you will accompany me to catch butterflies later!"
After watching his daughter running happily into the distance, Zhang Zhe casually came to Mo Xi.
Several ordinary zombie heads were lying quietly on the grass. Although these heads were not damaged and the zombies were not dead, ordinary zombies that had lost their bodies were basically useless.
In front of Moxi, there was also the head of an ordinary zombie. It was a head whose skull had been pried open and its brain tissue had been lost.
He glanced at Moxi who was squatting on the ground, his right hand and the corner of his mouth covered with black blood and white brain.
Zhang Zhe knew that Mo Xi was devouring the brains of zombies to obtain information about what these zombies had experienced here.
After licking the black blood and white brain on his right hand clean with his tongue, Mo Xi, who still had a little black blood and brain left on the corner of his mouth, turned to look at Zhang Zhe who was standing aside and said with a charming smile.
"Hey, I suggest you eat some brains too."
"Believe me, you will definitely get information that will surprise you."
After Zhang Zhe and Mo Xi left Baishiqiao together, Mo Xi told him that the half-zombie can obtain information by devouring the brains of zombies and humans, and that after devouring a certain amount of other types of zombies, he can obtain other zombies.
This function of ability.
According to Moxi, she has the ability of black-haired zombies to have a keen sense of smell.
However, in the past five years, Zhang Zhe has not swallowed any zombies. Although swallowing other zombies can give him various zombie abilities, zombies are transformed by humans, and he has never been able to overcome the feeling of being the same kind in his heart.
The hurdle of cannibalism.
Looking at Mo Xi with a charming smile, Zhang Zhe shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I'd better forget it, just tell me."
"Hurry and clean the blood and brains on the corners of your mouth. It won't be good if Yuxuan sees it."
After standing up and wiping the remaining black blood and brain on the corner of his mouth with the back of his right hand, Mo Xi stood up and said with a smirk to Zhang Zhe beside him.
"Okay, it should be clean now, right?"
"I won't share the information I got with you. If you want to know, just figure it out yourself!"
After hearing Mo Xi's words, Zhang Zhe looked at several dragging traces on the grass leading to a poplar forest in the distance, smiled and said to Mo Xi beside him.
"It's okay, I think I may have discovered something."
With that said, Zhang Zhe immediately followed several dragging traces on the grass and walked towards the poplar forest in the distance.
If nothing unexpected happens, these dragging traces should be the whereabouts left by the owners who chopped off the heads of the zombies and dragged the zombie bodies towards the poplar forest.
When Zhang Zhe followed the traces and casually came to Yang Shulin, Mo Xi, who had been following Zhang Zhe with a smile on his face, suddenly spoke very seriously.
"Hey, listen to me, just stop here and don't go any further."
"I can feel that if we go further inside, there will be danger!"
"Shall we go back? I'll just tell you the information I got!"
Zhang Zhe, who didn't take it seriously, walked toward the poplar forest and said with a smile to Mo Xi who was following behind him.
"Will there be danger? Now, who will be more dangerous than me?"
"I no longer want to know your information. I feel that I am getting closer and closer to the answer now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhe, who had just walked under a poplar tree as thick as a bowl, felt a drop of liquid fall on his head.
"I'll go! Is it raining? Why do I feel..."
Before Zhang Zhe, who was full of doubts, finished speaking, he just raised his head and looked up, and saw a mantis with a triangular head the size of a human face.
Zhang Zhe, who happened to be looking at the big-headed mantis, had not yet recovered from his surprise when a strong wind passed by Zhang Zhe's neck.
As Zhang Zhe's head with a surprised expression fell to the ground, Zhang Zhe's headless body collapsed to the ground as a stream of black blood spurted out from his neck.
Just after Zhang Zhe's body and head were separated, Mo Xi waved the five giant claws in his right hand, and then took action to chop the giant mantis with a big head that was lying on the poplar tree and about one meter long into several pieces.
There is room for paragraph drop.
Then, Mo Xi looked at Zhang Zhe's head with an awkward smile at his feet, and asked with a bad smile.
"Hey, I told you that there would be danger, but you still don't believe me?"
"How is it? Do you believe it now?"
Looking at Mo Xi with a smirk on his face above him, Zhang Zhe said with an embarrassed smile.
"Haha... I was careless and didn't dodge!"
"Help, can I still be saved now?"
After reaching out and holding Zhang Zhe's head, Mo Xi looked at Zhang Zhe's embarrassed expression and said with a bad smile.
"Don't worry, of course we have it!"
"We are half-dead people. As long as our heads are fine, we will not die completely!"
"Come on, I will let you devour your body. Maybe, after you devour your body, your body will recover immediately."
Zhang Zhe, whose head was held by Mo Xi, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Haha... There really is no one left. You produce and sell yourself, and you eat your own food?"
As soon as Zhang Zhe finished speaking, Mo Xi put Zhang Zhe's head on Zhang Zhe's neck, reached into his trouser pocket and took out the sewing kit he carried with him, and said to Zhang Zhe with a smile.
"I'll use needle and thread to sew your neck and body first, and then help you get a zombie's head. After you eat it, your injuries should be healed."
While using the needle and thread in his hand to sew Zhang Zhe's head and body, Mo Xi asked Zhang Zhe in confusion.
"Hey, the information I just got is that this kind of praying mantis attacked those zombies."
"But how could a praying mantis grow so big? It's almost a meter long! To be honest, I just smelled its scent and didn't see it at all."
"It seems to be invisible. If it hadn't let me see its figure when it sneaked up on you, I wouldn't have been able to see it!"
"Could it be said that in this apocalyptic world where zombies are rampant, even insects have mutated?"
Five years ago, Zhang Zhe, who had fought in the mountains and forests with the bloodthirsty Kirin No. 10 that escaped from the military laboratory, looked at Mo Xi's long hair tied into a bun and said without thinking.
"I think this kind of creature may be purely man-made!"
