After the object of crush dies and comes back to life

They walked out of the stationery store, turned a few odd alleys, and stopped in a deep alley full of discarded cardboard boxes.

Looking up, you can see the intricately intertwined antennas and red, green and green clotheslines. Countless underwear, shirts, and long shorts are blowing up with the wind, and the unwrung water flows down the corners of the clothes to the iron eaves. , then slid along the railing and fell to the ground, forming a puddle of water.

No one spoke for a long time, and the sound of water droplets was particularly clear, like a countdown with deep meaning.When the third tick sounded, Xia Qin slowly raised her face and lowered her voice very softly.

"I know you are Qiyuan." She said, "You can hide it from other humans, but you can't hide it from me."

"Human beings!?" Lu Xin grasped the point of her words sensitively, her pupils constricted, and her eyes widened in shock.

Qi Yuan stood beside her, her slender eyelashes trembled slowly, and she slowly stopped her gaze on Xia Qin's face.

"I can not understand what you say."

"Then I'll do another way." Xia Qin took out a thermos cup from her schoolbag, unscrewed the lid, and poured some warm water on her arm. A gap seemed to be cracked in the originally white and flawless wrist, and a different shape appeared. Pale cyan in other parts.

She turned the back of her hands over, several overly prominent veins were attached to the thin layer of flesh, and all those veins showed a strange blue-green color.And on the back of the hand near the tiger's mouth and wrist, a few lavender spots suddenly appeared.

Lu Xin looked at her blankly, her whole body stiffened: "You..."

"It's really not easy to pretend to be a human being." Xia Qin twitched the corner of her mouth, but there was no smile in her eyes.She looked at Qi Yuan and said briskly, "You died two weeks ago? I really envy you. You won't become like me yet."

Qi Yuan was silent for a moment, staring at the pale blue dead flesh, pursed his lips clearly: "... When did you die?"

Xia Qin tucked the extra strands of hair behind her ears, and said calmly: "Last summer." She said it as calmly as eating and drinking, as if it was not a major matter related to herself.

"Yuan, so you are too..." Lu Xin's mood was shaken, and she was speechless for a while, "That's why you came to me..."

"Yes, I can understand why you are so cautious," Xia Qin raised the corners of her mouth, her smile was as sweet as honey amber, it was hard to imagine that she was already a dead girl. "Don't worry, I have no malice towards you."

Qi Yuan tilted his head: "But how did you see my identity?"

"The appearance is very similar." Xia Qin said in a natural tone, "Although it is difficult for humans to distinguish for a while, it is very convenient for us of the same kind, as long as we smell it, we can be sure."

"Smell?" Lu Xin approached Qi Yuan unconsciously and sniffed, "It's very fragrant!"

Xiao Ji shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "Human beings can't smell it."

"Yes." Xia Qin nodded, "But the zombies can smell... a smell of corpses."

"Corpse stinks!" Lu Xin was dumbfounded, it was the first time that she was so glad that she was a human being.

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously raised his arm and smelled his armpit, and then his face immediately wrinkled into bitter melon.

Xia Qin laughed loudly: "Is the smell particularly sour? You may not notice it normally, but it is especially obvious in the noses of other people of the same kind."

Qi Yuan pinched his nose with two fingers and nodded.

Xia Qin couldn't help laughing: "That's why I always wear some perfume when I go out, so as to offset the bad smell on my body."

Lu Xin asked curiously: "Are there many of the same kind in the school?"

Xia Qin shook her head: "I only found you in school for the time being, but I don't rule out the possibility that they are well disguised."

Qi Yuan frowned: "Why do you have spots on your body?"

"About five or six months after death, corpse spots will slowly grow." Xia Qin smiled, "It won't become as terrifying as the view of giants, but the limbs will definitely become looser and looser. But like you In this way, zombie babies don’t have to be nervous for a while, because the moment when they are just dead is the most human-like moment.”

Lu Xin said in surprise: "But I think your actions are so natural..."

Xia Qin shrugged: "Because I'm used to it, I'm forced to make ends meet."

Then Qi Yuan asked a few more questions about zombies. Xia Qin's statement was basically consistent with the reality. The only ration for zombies is human blood, which can only be provided by humans. Eating any human food can't fill the stomach.

The mental health of human beings is linked to the taste of blood. If the blood they drink is highly poisonous, zombies will also be injured.

"And after becoming a zombie, some parts of the body will become stronger." Xia Qin turned her ankle and said with a smile, "For example, my body has become lighter and my speed has increased a lot."

Qi Yuan pondered: "My strength has grown a lot..."

Xiao Ji sighed at the side: "In this way, being a zombie is quite good."

"No." Lu Xin shook her head. "Zombies live in fear every day. Once discovered, they may never return to the human world."

----

As the night fell, the clouds turned a thick leaden gray, covering the scattered starlight in the city, far away and lonely.Lu Xin looked out through the kitchen window, the flashing neon tubes in the distance and the secluded and desolate old area nearby seemed to come from different worlds.

She put the carrots in the pot into a white porcelain plate with a large spoon, and Qi Yuan picked up two plates of hot dishes from the countertop and walked to the dining table in the living room.

Lu Xin mixed the broth into the white rice, and quickly finished the meal. She took a piece of white paper from the paper box, wiped the corners of her mouth lightly, and came to Qiyuan, who was sitting in front of the notebook.

Qi Yuan has mastered the operation of modern smart devices very quickly, and can even do many simple operations. The blue light of the laptop screen is reflected on her peaceful cheeks, and her posture of typing on the keyboard is correct and fast. It is far from obvious that she is a dead person. man of.

Before arriving home, Lu Xin scanned Xia Qin's QR code, exchanged WeChat, and followed the URL she sent to find the largest zombie exchange forum in China.

This webpage is not the same as what it is. It usually looks like an ordinary book exchange forum. Only after applying for registration and approval by the administrator can you officially browse its full picture.

The background of the website is all black with a simple style.It reminds Lu Xin of an old show called "Hell Girl", which has similarities with the hell communication in it.The website does not have a lot of traffic, and the number of people online is displayed in the upper right corner, which is a bright red "647".

Qi Yuan slid down with the mouse, and the latest upvoted post showed the last reply 2 minutes ago.

The title of the post, "Do Zombies Die?" is highlighted in red and bold.There are hundreds of replies below, and the tone is different. Some speculate that zombies already belong to the scope of immortality, and their limbs can be restored no matter how much they are destroyed; some think that zombies are part of the ecological chain, and there must be a way to restrain them. Not found yet.

Qi Yuan briefly glanced at the general content of the post, and the zombie's sex was not far from what she expected.

Newborn zombies have stiff limbs, strong destructive desires and aggressiveness, but they will not attack humans who give them food.

As time goes by, the limbs of zombies become more and more flexible, and the memories of their lifetime will slowly return to their brains. Their behaviors and behaviors look no different from humans, the only difference is their skin color and smell.

The zombie's skin will transform, gradually turning from pale to corpse green, and corpse spots will appear randomly on any part of the body.

Xia Qin, who has been dead for a year, has completed her transformation. Every day when she goes out, she has to apply thick liquid foundation on her bare skin.

Zombies have very little emotion, which is what most distinguishes them from humans.

Apart from their hunger for appetite, the zombies' emotions are almost frozen, and it is difficult to be provoked by any method unless they themselves are threatened.They have no fear, no pain, and little pleasure.It is not even possible to love as human beings do.

When he saw the last sentence, Qi Yuan felt as if his heart that had stopped beating was jolted.The word love has never been fulfilled in her body, just like a distant fairy tale.

They are not willing to teach her what kind of existence love is, even if the closest blood relationship keeps her away, let alone strangers?A racing heart may also be an illusion.

Lu Xin put his hands on her shoulders and smiled tolerantly.

She stared at the screen and read word by word: "I died in the early spring of this year because of a landslide. The body was not decomposed. My mother buried me in the ground, but I didn't expect that I opened my eyes underground. Yi easily cut through the dirt and walked up to my mother, but she screamed and hit me with a broom and told me to get out of the house."

After the zombies were driven out, they wandered around, penniless, and were taken in by the rescue station.When he found that he only had the urge to eat blood, he had no choice but to steal a blood bag from the freezer.

After stealing two or three times in a row, he was discovered by a cleaner who mistook him for stealing blood bags and selling them, so he called the police.Even though he had no intention of attacking humans, he was beaten by many hooligans while fleeing.

"Does human society really have our living space?" The zombie left the last comment, "I feel like a different kind, unwelcome, with nowhere to go."

Qi Yuan suddenly felt lucky.She held Lu Xin's hand on her shoulder and sighed deeply.

When the sun rises, there may be many zombies with their black eyes open, wandering in any place you may have seen or been to.

They may be old people begging under the overpass, or young people handing out leaflets, or those scavengers wandering on the streets... walking aimlessly in the black area against the light.

Like Qi Yuan, being able to "live" openly under the warm sunshine is the luxury of many zombies.

The eternal life pursued by the world may be a part of zombies, but they have already paid a greater price. Perhaps normal death is the best end for most people.

In order not to disrupt the operating order of human society, the Zombie Forum has established

A special rescue station to take in wandering zombies with nowhere to go.At the same time, there is also a set of rigid rules among them.

"Do not actively reveal your identity, do not attack humans and the same kind unless necessary, and do not disclose the existence of the forum to the outside world."

Once the violation of the law is found, the zombie will be abandoned by all rescue stations.

Qi Yuan registered her detailed information in the forum, she saved the webpage to her favorites, and then pressed the power off button to move her stiff neck.

Lu Xin had already finished taking a shower, with a towel wrapped around her head, and a few wet black hair stuck to the side of her neck. She was wearing a very soft velvet pajamas, revealing two sections of white and slender ankles, and her round toes were covered with plush slippers. cover up.

With her back facing Qi Yuan, she took down the hair dryer from the cabinet, and when she stood on tiptoe, her waist looked very thin and easy to break.Qi Yuan watched quietly for a while, then walked behind her, lowered his head, and silently buried his head in the hollow of her shoulder.

Lu Xin was suddenly hugged by her, and she froze in place, holding a hair dryer and not knowing what to do.She opened her eyes and turned her head to ask in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Qi Yuan remained silent, slowly tightening his arms around her waist.It is recorded that zombies are not easy to express their emotions, but she always likes to be close to Lu Xin, and I don't know why.

The little night light slowly coaxed Lu Xin's side face to bask in the sun, her bright black pupils were dyed orange, she blinked slightly, and handed the hair dryer back to Qi Yuan.

"You can help me dry my hair." She subconsciously softened her voice, as if asking for her opinion, "OK?"

Qi Yuan took the hair dryer and agreed.

She took off the white towel wrapped around Lu Xin's hair and put it on a chair.

Lu Xin's hair is not very long, it can hang down to her shoulders, but it is very soft and fluffy, and feels good to the touch.Qi Yuan pressed the switch, adjusted the temperature to the most suitable state, and then gently aimed the air outlet at the drenched long hair.

Lu Xin was so blown away by the warm wind that she wanted to fall asleep, her eyelids were glued together.While half awake and half dreaming, she suddenly remembered that the first time she talked to Qi Yuan, the other party also helped her overblown.

But the situation is very different.At that time, she was a pitiful drowned chicken, and Qi Yuan only came to help her out of friendship with classmates.And now that they have become friends, after only two weeks, it feels like they have crossed life and death together.

Qi Yuan dried the ends of her hair and combed her long hair. After finishing a series of actions, she suddenly found that Lu Xin had fallen asleep with her eyes closed.

She was stunned for a while, then put her arms through the knees and the back of the other's neck, hugged him easily, and walked on tiptoe to the bedroom.

The clock pointed to nine o'clock in the evening, but Lu Xin had already slept soundly, and I'm afraid she wouldn't wake up again.Qi Yuan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her for a while, helped her put on the quilt, and then walked out of the room silently.

She picked up Lu Xin's mobile phone on the table, clicked on WeChat, and after a moment of contemplation, clicked on Xia Qin's dialog box.

Xia Qin's profile picture is a selfie of herself, exaggerated with a soft light filter.She was already good-looking, but such random additions made her perfect and false.She often posts on Moments, and sometimes she goes out to barbecue with friends, or visits some galleries, and her extracurricular life is very rich.

Qi Yuan simply browsed for a while, then typed the next line.

"Who is Ji Ling to you?"

Ji Ling is the real name of Xiao Ji next to her.

After a while, Xia Qin's reply came before her eyes: "Of course it's my granary, just like you and Lu Xin." She thought she could see clearly.

Qi Yuan smiled, and replied inexplicably: "It's not the same."
