[Hunter] How to kill a zombie

Blue, like snow falling in the desert that he had never seen before.

His head was resting on the white snow that would not melt.Cold, comfortable, clean snow.

"...a knight?"

The voice of the other party is full of worry and joy, which is not a common thing.Sometimes the knight even wonders if this woman has normal human feelings, but it seems that he is mistaken on this point.

"How do you feel? Are you uncomfortable?" Zoe asked while sitting on the bedside, combing the soft blond hair on the knight's head carefully. Unexpectedly, the child turned around suddenly and buried her face in it. Between her belly and her legs.

"Ah, don't move so fast, it will hurt the wound." Zooey said hurriedly.

"You dote on this brat too much." Arthur's lazy voice came from the door frame, "The kids on Meteor Street are not that fragile."

I don't know if it was her illusion, but Zooey always felt as if she heard a low click of the knight's tongue.

"I said Miss," Arthur continued as if nothing had happened, "you should not have children casually in the future..."

"Birth—who gave birth to a child!"

"It's those two guys who are screaming in the room." Arthur walked forward helplessly, and closed the door by the way, "You don't know how hard it took me to stop them..." He had a headache He rubbed the temples of the flesh, and there were still red and black marks on his body, making it hard to tell whether it was flesh or something else, "It's really tenacious, that thing, breaking the heart is useless, the head is completely covered It can still act as it is if it is destroyed. Hey, you know? I cut off the heads of both of them, and the corpses are still moving to find their heads! It’s really amazing..."

Zooey listened and fell into silence.

"It's a pity that there is no intelligence. If there is, isn't this the undead army that the leaders of all countries dream of?" Arthur sighed with sarcasm, and after a while, he realized that there was silence in the room, "Ah! Sorry, sorry , I'm not talking about you."

Zooey shook her head: "No, you're right..."

"They don't understand human language, they are monsters that act on instinct." Zooey said softly, "But they seem to follow my command..." She looked at the knight resting on her lap, "Zombies will instinctively look for No infected humans attacked, but they didn't attack the knights."

Arthur raised his eyebrows, walked up to Zooey in a funny way, and rubbed her head with his big hand, which made Zooey protest. "Okay, okay, don't be so sad, it's really not suitable for you." His brown eyes glanced at the knight who has been refusing to make eye contact with him, and then he laughed: "You two children get along well. Bar."

"I'm not a kid anymore," Zoe protested.

"Okay, okay, you're not, you're an older kid."

"Be careful not to infect the knight into a zombie." Arthur ordered before leaving.Zooey was so scared that she hurriedly checked if she had accidentally touched the knight's wound.

After Arthur left, the chivalrous man, who was as well-behaved as a kitten and didn't move at all, suddenly sat up straight, facing the direction of the door with a thoughtful expression.

"Warrior!" Zooey was shocked, "You can't move yet, your wound..." She looked at the boy's abdomen, and found that the bandage was still well wrapped, and there was no sign of red oozing out.

However, Xia Ke just turned his head to look at her, jumped out of the bed deftly and did a few stretching movements, completely disregarding Zoe's stop and untied the bandage - the wound that was originally deep enough to see the bone had almost healed.

"Huh?" Zooey blinked at the knight suspiciously, "Strange, you didn't eat people."

"I'm not a zombie, and I won't suddenly recover from eating people." The knight commented nonchalantly, while stretching his muscles and bones, he glanced at Zoe's expression from the corner of his eye. "Ah, but if Arthur asks, just say I'm not healed."

"Is this the function of...'Nian'?"

"Well, that's it." After checking his condition, he nodded after finding out that he was recovering well, then pulled a chair, straddled it, put his hands on the back of the chair, and looked curiously at the person opposite him. zoe.

“I said, what’s so good about that uncle?” He asked suddenly, his green eyes staring straight at Zooey.

"what?"

"Don't pretend, it's too obvious, don't you like Arthur?"

Zooey suddenly felt a little grateful that she was dead now, and would not blush again because of such things.After a while, she looked at the knight amusedly: "What, so you know."

The knight showed a somewhat disdainful expression: "This level of interpersonal relationship, where I live, can't even reach the most basic bottom line..."

Seeing a child about 12 years old say such words with such an expression, Zooey almost couldn't hold back her laughter.The knight gave her a threatening look, but she still tried her best to hold back.

"Well... I can't tell." Zooey tilted her head and thought for a while, "Maybe it's because I have admired Uncle Arthur since I was a child?"

"Otherwise, why don't you give up that uncle and come with me?" the knight asked suddenly.

"What are you talking about?" Zooey stood up with a smile, "Aren't you living with us now?"

The knight was noncommittal, but just looked up at her.

"Still, I'm very happy."

"Ok?"

"Would you like to open up a little bit to us—to me?" Zooey said with emotion, "I always felt that there was a sense of distance between you and us, ah, of course there is nothing wrong with that. But..."

"...Now you feel cuter." As she spoke, she smiled at the knight, and then left the room.

Leaving the knight silently watching the direction of her departure.

Since those two priest-like people came, Arthur's stay here has obviously become longer.I don't know why, Xia Ke always seems to be very close to Zoe on purpose when Arthur is present, which annoys her a little over time.For example, when his wound was already healed, but he had to excuse that he couldn't move and asked her to help, Zooey felt that she could see the light shining in those green eyes.But she still patiently played these games with him, after all—she had nothing else to do.

For the knight, he was indeed testing Zoe's patience.After all he wasn't in such a rush after learning her biggest secret (that she was a zombie).The East District Presbyterian Council regularly sends people over to confirm the progress with him, and the knight can completely wait and observe for now.Anyway, idle is idle, and there is such a ready-made research object in front of him, he still wants to make the best use of it.

The knight felt very strange, because Zoe was already dead, so she didn't have any signs of life on her body.This means that she is in a state of "absolute" from beginning to end.And although she doesn't eat very often (it is said that she has learned to restrain herself recently), every time she eats human flesh, even if she doesn't realize it, a strange energy will gather in her body.The more you eat, the more this energy builds up.Zoe herself probably doesn't know how much potential she has to be a powerful weapon.

Speaking of this, Xia Ke actually began to doubt after learning of Zoe's true identity.First of all, the purpose of the elder of the East District: Did he really let the knight come over and take her there just because he was greedy for her beauty?Or is there some other reason?The two priest-like people who came before said her name was Corleone.After checking, the knights found that Corleone was not only a powerful emerging force in the underworld, but also joined the "Ten Old Men" a few months ago (it coincides with the day Zoe turned into a zombie, is it a coincidence?).Because he can control Zoe to go back to the elder at any time now, the higher ups are not in a hurry.The elders of the East District also gave him a new order: to monitor the movements of Arthur Greystone.

It seems that the elders of the East District are not completely unaware of some of Arthur's secret tricks (of course, thanks to the knight's blessing).And if you want to get Zoe, the most troublesome thing is Arthur Graystone behind her.So if possible, of course it would be much more reliable to get rid of him first.

It's just that this made the knight's schedule even more tense.He still couldn't figure out Arthur's attitude towards him until now. Although he acted very close to Zoe, Arthur didn't seem to have any special thoughts about it.The knight must ask the elders of the East District to clarify the matter of memory before doing anything.

His previous memories...

"Warrior?" Zooey's soft call interrupted his thoughts, and there seemed to be some complaints mixed in her voice, "Really, you are the one who asked me to read to you? Are you listening?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I lost my mind." The knight looked at Zoe pitifully, "Sister Zoe, I'm sorry~"

"...Forget it," Zooey put down the book and sighed, "You should have a good rest."

Zooey was about to get up to leave, but her hand was pulled.

"Eh?"

"Um……"

Zooey looked at the young man in front of her in puzzlement, feeling that there seemed to be some kind of pain in his eyes.She squatted down with concern, and touched his forehead with one hand: "Xia Ke? Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

It's a cold touch without body temperature, but the knight doesn't think he hates it.

"Zoe..." he murmured, "I'm sorry."

"Huh?" Zooey was a little confused, "You just lost your mind, there is no need to apologize like this."

The knight was silent.

"Okay, go to rest, tomorrow you
