let me die

In fact, they did get smoked out of the alley.

Dorn wondered: "What I have seen before, people who have been bitten by zombies will soon become new zombies, but why are these zombies the same as ordinary corpses, without any change? Is it because they Wasn't it bitten to death?"

The old man laughed twice and said, "Not necessarily." Then he looked at Xiao En with his hands in his hands.

Xiao En listened to what they said, looked at the alley thoughtfully, silently drew his knife, and put his whole body on guard.

Not long after, there were a few roars of zombies from that alley. Could it be that those zombies just didn't encounter food, so they lay on the ground and "play dead" to preserve their energy?

Dawn couldn't help thinking: what is the reason for all this, why... so elusive.

The roars gradually increased, and Xiao En said to the old man: "Please protect Done, senior." After speaking, he jumped into the alley.Don was worried that he would be injured, but he was too fast, and Don had no time to stop him. Seeing him go in, he was eager to see.The old man grabbed Dawn, shook his head slightly and said, "You should trust him."

The old man was right. Don didn't worry for a long time. Xiao En had already put away the knife and came back. His eyes still had the blush left by the killing ring just now. He took the knife back and smiled at the two waiting for him as before. Like a spring breeze, the murderous look when he first left the alley was completely gone.

There were more zombies in the alley than what I saw in the shopping mall that day, but Xiao En did as he said, and it took only 1 minute to solve it.

"The young man is better than I thought. With you in this town, it seems that there is hope again." The old man exclaimed just like Dorn when he saw Xiao En's ability for the first time.

Xiao En forced a smile, and said: "A few days ago, I suffered some injuries and still haven't healed. In addition, I have been exercising recently, and I am much worse than before."

"I think even in this world, there are few people as powerful as you, so you don't need to be humble."

The two were courteous to each other, but Don was surprised and said: "There is still salvation in this world? All I have seen along the way is despair and cruelty. Suddenly hearing the word hope, I feel a little dazed."

Xiao En tilted his head and said, "When you met me, you met hope?" After teasing him, he said firmly, "Human beings will not be extinct so easily. You must have confidence in your own race."

Seeing Xiao En's confident smiling face, as if infected, Don also smiled and agreed: "Okay."

"Look, young man, what are the origins of those pretending to be dead?" the old man asked.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. These zombies will pretend to be dead when they can't maintain their normal physiological activities. When they smell the smell of living people, they will rise up and attack humans. I also learned about it by accident."

"That's it," the old man nodded and said, "It's getting late, let's go quickly."

"it is good."

The old man's house is in an open place on the east side. Turn two streets from the backyard and you will reach the edge of the farmland.The farmland used to be full of fruit, but no one harvested it, so that the crops had rotted to the farmland, and it looked like a mess from a distance, which made people have no desire to find out.

The old man's fence is very high, and there are traces of zombies' actions on it. It seems that the zombies often come to trouble the old man.After entering the yard, what greets the eyes is a yard that is as messy as a farmland, with uneven layers of weeds and randomly discarded items, some of which have rotted and are hidden in the withered grass, which further highlights the precariousness of the house.

"Dad, why don't you go back and live with us." Dorn suggested.

"Why, do you think my place is dirty?" The old man kicked away an old basin beside him and said.

Don was embarrassed to say yes, so he had to follow the old man on.The old man walked up the steps and opened the door without using a key.

The room was a bit dark, the old man went to the bed and opened the curtains, some light was cast into the room, and only the two standing at the door could see the scene inside the room clearly.

There is a staircase before the door, and then there is a semi-open kitchen. In the living room, there is a dark green sofa for two people, facing a somewhat worn-out wooden table, and an old TV.There were many wine bottles scattered on the ground, and the room was full of the smell of alcohol.

"The living environment here is not suitable for the elderly, so Dad, you should go back with us." Don frowned and said, apparently a little unacceptable to the smell in the room.

Below the stairs is the bathroom, the door of the bathroom is open, the inside is not big, next to the door is the sink, and then the toilet, the color is yellow that has not been cleaned for a long time.There was a door in the past of the toilet, Xiao En stepped forward to open the door, and found that it was another courtyard.

"Hey, young man, don't open the door of other people's house casually!" The old man called hastily, but it didn't stop the two young men from seeing the obvious hole in the courtyard fence, although the hole was randomly sealed by wire and a few pieces of wood. , but the thing was obviously useless.

Xiao En turned his head and said to the old man: "Senior, you can live with us." In this way, he also has a reason to continue to share the same bed with Donne. Thinking of what happened this morning, Donne must have let him into the room All need to be considered.

"No." The old man sat on the sofa, turned his back to them, and said very smartly.

"Dad, since you recognize me as your godson, then you have to listen to me." It was originally a coquettish remark, but when it was said by Donne with a deadpan face, it had a more threatening meaning.

The old man looked back at Dawn, lay down again, and said, "Then I don't recognize it."

Don: ...

"It's not easy to live so long in such a place, don't give up your life easily." Xiao En closed the door, walked into the living room and said to the old man.

"Oh, I'm old, I've lived enough, it doesn't matter whether I die or not."

"Dad! You!" Don was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

Xiao En went over and patted him on the back to help him feel better.

"In this place, I don't know how many people are still alive, but the food is only that. Yesterday, I said that I would admit my son was just a joke. I didn't expect you to really take it seriously. With your character, sooner or later , will be killed."

Donne was very surprised when he heard the old man's words. Although he felt a little wrong in his heart by hastily recognizing a godfather yesterday, he still recognized the old man in his heart, but he didn't expect him to say all that. It was just a joke to myself.

"I have met many people here. Even without these monsters, I seldom meet someone who can treat me so well. You are a good boy. I lied to you, and I feel guilty. Those bullets, etc. I'm dead, come and get it."

Don was shocked and speechless, Xiao En said to the old man for him: "No need, he has me, he can live well without bullets, it is not easy for you to live in this troubled world alone, you keep those bullets let's go."

"Alas..." He sighed, "How long can I live? You don't know. Before these monsters appeared, I was diagnosed with advanced cancer. I can't live long. Although I can't tell the time, But it is estimated that it will be soon, and at that time, you don't have to be polite to me."

Hearing the words "advanced cancer", Donne seemed to be plucked a string in his mind suddenly, and asked subconsciously, "Then those zombies didn't attack you?"

"Why not?" the old man asked back, Xiao En was also a little surprised why he thought so, he suddenly remembered that when he was looking for his home with the old man, those zombies were obviously interested in the old man.

Then why did the old aunt I met that day say... why she is the only one who won't be attacked by those zombies, and judging by the way she walks, she shouldn't be able to escape the zombie attack.Or are there other hidden secrets?Is that the strange appetite of the zombies, or is it a secret trick of the dying man to Donne?

"Thank you for sending me back and sending me so many things. If you have any questions, please ask while I'm still sane."

Xiao En was the first to react, and said: "The younger generation wants to ask, is there a map of the town here? Ha, we will not hide it from the seniors. Dawn and I are both from outside, and we don't know much about this town. , I have to grope everywhere I want to go. If it was okay in the past, it would be quite an interesting thing, but in this state, it is a very labor-intensive and food-consuming thing.”

The old man looked at Xiao En, hummed and laughed, and reached out to pull out the drawer under the table.The wooden table is very old, and the drawers are not as smooth as they were when I first bought them, so he pulled them out several times, and the table was moved forward a little before he pulled out the drawers, and then opened some of the top. Strange thing for what purpose, take out a piece of paper that has been folded many times.

The quality of the paper was very good, and it was even waterproofed. The old man squinted his eyes and unfolded the paper. It was a map of the town. Every path, every shop, was carefully marked on the map. You can see them and the homes of the elderly.

"This map... is really detailed." Xiao En couldn't help but said.

"That's right," the old man said, "this town has hardly changed over the years. The only thing that has changed is that some houses have moved out and some houses have new owners. Such a town It's such a slow, slow change, even the outbreak of the zombie crisis is the latest in the surrounding towns."
