Chapter 240 zombie king
Clumps of green plants grow close together. Wei Xuan squatted on the side of the road, carefully scraped away the soil, and laboriously dug out a pile of short plants with tangled roots. Fortunately, these seedlings are still small and the root system is not particularly developed. At most, they are only entangled with the roots of the surrounding plants. It does not involve too much and is easier to dig. It is just because they were too dense when they were planted. Now Wei Xuan I can only slowly pull them out of the soil bit by bit.
Although Wei Xuan would like to assign his zombie brothers to help with this matter, digging young seedlings from the ground is delicate work. He tried to dig a little ground for the first time to confirm these The plan was completely abandoned when the plants were almost all tangled together.
There’s no way, who let the little brothers raised by his family plant it? So his younger brother generously stuffed all the seeds into the soil, and now he can only pay the bill.
But what Wei Xuan didn’t expect was that after he had worked so hard to dig out and separate the densely grown plants that he had just discovered, and when he was slowing down the seedlings and preparing to plant them in other places the next day When he went to the place, the next day he found several clusters of densely grown seedlings.
Then, day after day, as the weather got warmer, plants kept coming out from all over the community, and the number of plants grew more and more densely. When Wei Xuan was dealing with these things with a headache, he gradually couldn’t spare time to plant the things he dug up separately!
So, he gritted his teeth and took Du Hang and some zombie brothers to the open space with soil outside his community to demonstrate how to transplant these things and the best distance between plants as a demonstration example.
After such a toss, he actually tossed from the end of March to the beginning of May, and now there are still many plants that have not been completely tossed, and there is still a large area of densely entangled plants growing in his own community.
Fortunately, because many plants have been cleaned up and transplanted outside the community, the remaining ones can be planted in their own open spaces after they are dug out, and finally they don’t have to bother to go outside every day.
The only thing that makes Wei Xuan feel a little suffocated is that it consumes more water these days.
Although the plants that grow are of various kinds and cannot be identified, since they have grown smoothly, Wei Xuan is naturally unwilling to let them hang up due to lack of water. So the day after the first wave of plants were transplanted, he asked his zombie brothers to take pots and pans and the water stored at home to water those plants.
As a result, in this season when spring rain is as expensive as oil, the water consumption of Wei Xuan’s family has increased significantly. Even the ice stored in the underground ice cellar in winter has begun to be used one after another.
The only thing Wei Xuan is lucky about now is—fortunately, he has turned into a zombie. And the group of younger brothers he is leading now are also zombies, otherwise just a water problem would give him a headache.
“Have you finished notifying?” Wei Xuan straightened up, hammering his stiff waist. Although he doesn’t feel any fatigue now, it still feels uncomfortable to maintain the same posture for a long time, so these subconscious movements will appear from time to time.
Du Hang nodded aside: “Notified.”
Only then did Wei Xuan heave a sigh of relief, and looked up at the sky: “It’s early May, and it’s time for strange snow again…”
He also had a sudden idea a while ago that the zombies of the little girl’s family could run around the city to inform the zombies of something without being attacked. Now that there is no obvious conflict between the zombies (he thought), the zombies If he is very friendly to himself and willing to listen to his suggestions, it shouldn’t be a problem for his own zombie brother to go out to help deliver a message and inform other zombie leaders about something, right?
After a little trial, Wei Xuan found that it was indeed the case, so he entered May, and notified him that there would be a strange snow around the middle of this month.
Although it has always been said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, spring is not a season without rain at all. Those zombies who live in the urban area and have prepared various pots and pans must have received a lot of rain in the previous two fine spring rains . If these guys don’t dispose of the rainwater and simply wait for the strange snow to fall, they will definitely collect a pile of diluted snow water by then.
Wei Xuan helped people to the end, and he wanted to help with ideas, so he asked his younger brothers to inform the zombies to clean up the debris and accumulated water in the container while notifying them that the strange snow was about to fall.
At this moment, all the zombies in the city must be pouring water down the roof of the building, right?
Things were indeed as Wei Xuan thought, and what he didn’t expect was that two drones took pictures of this wonderful scene from two different directions, and passed the news back to their bases.
Seeing this scene, the members of the original villa base looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. It took a long time for someone to say: “What are they doing…?”
The rest of the people shook their heads repeatedly. It would be a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task to find a specific target in such a vast city. In particular, they have to be careful not to let the drone fly too low – once before, a drone flew too low and was shot down by something.
So now they can only take as many pictures as possible in the city, analyze various possibilities from them, and then slowly sort out the most suspected targets.
Now, what is the rhythm of this city full of zombies splashing water together? Are you celebrating Songkran?
“Planting the land! The zombies are indeed planting the land! Look, there are plants growing here, here, and on the ground that was splashed in these pictures!” A person suddenly pointed to the suspended picture and shouted loudly.
In the picture, clumps of green plants can be faintly seen in the former flower beds and tree pits on the side of the street.
These plants were indeed planted by Wei Xuan, but they were not planted this time when cleaning up the excess plants in the community. His old man took advantage of the opportunity of wandering around the city in the early days of the end of the world to plant potatoes and carrots everywhere.
The nickname “Potato” is not for nothing!
After the end of the world, although most of the survivors in various bases quickly found plants that could be cultivated, it was obvious that even potatoes and carrots were not something that could be seen casually on the street. At least the people at the villa base have almost never seen these plants in the wilderness during their exploration of the surrounding area.
It can even be said that as long as green plants are found on the ground, no need to ask, they are basically planted by humans!
But now, relatively concentrated green plants have been found in T city…does it need to ask what does this mean?
The onlookers immediately turned back to carefully examine each frame of the picture, and finally came to a conclusion—these plants were planted along the edges of various buildings and streets, just like the green belts planted by people before the end of the world. How to explain if this is not artificial cultivation?
Although the distance is far away and the appearance of those plants is not clear, how many green plants have been planted in their base after entering the end of the world? Others who can’t recognize the leaves of potatoes and carrots can’t recognize them?
“…Yes!” A group of people who were watching the video suddenly jumped up, slapping the table and shouting.
“What?” The rest of the people looked at him quickly.
The man pointed to the paused and zoomed-in picture on the screen with some excitement: “Zombies will plant the land, whether it is because they want to use these plants for greening, or for eating, or just because they are used to it. This kind of planting in the whole city It must be the leader of the zombie king, so will the plants around the place where the zombie king lives be particularly dense?”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their eyes couldn’t help but burst out with excitement.
———————
However, one winter and one more spring, when May is approaching and the weather is getting hotter every day, almost all survivor bases are forced to enter the process of reorganization during this period.
The mutated animals outside, the zombies in the city, and the mutated plants deep in the farmland are all crises and hidden worries from the outside world. However, all of this is nothing compared to the chaos and uneasiness that started from within.
At the beginning of the last days, in order to simply escape from danger, people gathered together and joined those officially established bases. However, after the current situation, after leaving the base for various reasons, carefully observing and avoiding those mutated animals, the survivors discovered that although the outside world is scary, it doesn’t seem to be that scary?
Mutated plants are fixed to grow in certain locations, and not all of them are so terrifyingly aggressive. Although there are many mutated animals, most of them have their own gathering places and their own ecological chains. As long as they are careful enough, human beings are so small that for some large carnivorous animals, eating trouble is like bones. How about catching a few harmless mutant animals with large heads and delicious meat?
Although the zombies rushed towards people frantically, they basically stayed in the large human cities of the past. Although there were zombies in the scattered small counties and villages around the cities in the early days, they did not die in the mouths of mutant animals. It is the survivors who died completely after the end of the world to go out to do missions and collect supplies.
After avoiding all of this, the world…doesn’t seem to be too dangerous?
And some people only discovered by accident when they left the former base and arrived in some small counties around the city that many of the small counties were already occupied by people! Some escaped to these places from the beginning of the last days, and lived in after cleaning up the zombies. Some came to these places after being lost with their companions who went out to do missions in the last days. There are also some people who were kicked out by the large base during the earlier cleanup.
Of course, some people are ambitious and want to revenge the former base and hate the survivors who are also human. But in the current situation where the situation is so complicated, unless there is a problem with the brain, they dare not easily provoke and conflict with the same kind.
More people, after adapting to this kind of life, live relatively peacefully in these places, re-establishing human villages and gathering places in the true sense.
They cleared out the surrounding undangerous farmland and vacant land to cultivate potatoes and carrots that are easy to grow.
Carefully observe the mutated animals around, and pick out those that are relatively mild and scattered with the group to hunt.
Although there are also crises and life is also difficult, no matter which survivor can clearly feel at this time-the real crisis of the last days has passed!
Enhanced physique, lowered body temperature, physical state close to zombies… These are dangerous but not so dangerous. Once they get used to all this, so what if they turned into zombies that were so unbearable and unacceptable at the beginning? They are still alive, so what if their living conditions and physical conditions are different from before? They still live in the present with their own thoughts and beliefs.

“Ah… Another strange snow has passed.” When he came back to his senses, what Wei Xuan was facing was the gray sky, and the slightly icy feeling around him made him feel extraordinarily clear-headed , very energetic.
He raised his hands, and first swept away the snow that fell on his forehead and face, so as to avoid the danger of falling snow on his neck when he lowered his head, and then turned his head to look at Du Hang excitedly.
Du Hang was not as hypocritical as Wei Xuan, he just lowered his head and let the cold snow fall on him.
The rustling sound came from the zombies who felt the strange snow coming or going out, or stood at the window and waited for the snow.
“Start working!” Wei Xuan couldn’t explain the reason, but he felt that the emotions in his heart were high and he felt energetic.
His yelling was not loud or loud, but the zombie brothers who were still in the building at a distance “heard” all of them, and jumped out of the board building in various postures, shouting slogans excitedly: “Work! Work! Work!”
Since this year, all the domesticated zombie brothers of Wei Xuan’s family have learned to speak the human language, even the few zombies who were brought home by him at the latest and joined the group later. So once they start rambling, the sound is extra loud and noisy.
The younger brothers of Wei Xuan’s family had done the work of collecting strange snow many times, and they started work voluntarily without Wei Xuan’s further instructions.
Wei Xuan found out before that although he told the zombies in the city how to collect the strange snow, there were no zombies carrying containers to occupy the roof and collect the strange snow within a kilometer of his house. There are only a small number of wandering zombies who have been living in this area, carefully holding pots and cans, and occupying the roofs of several buildings in some surrounding areas to collect snow.
Wei Xuan knew that the work efficiency of his younger brothers would naturally not compete with those zombies for territory. Moreover, even if the snow was not collected in time, it would fall to the ground along the edges of the buildings and the sewer pipes, causing no loss.
At this time, all the overly dense plants in his community have been rearranged and planted in the surrounding communities and streets one after another. The greening in the community looks very neat. Now there is no need to worry about the condition of these crops. Two days ago, Wei Xuan finally happily returned to the leisurely life of eating delicious food and playing games at home.
Wei Xuan, who led a group of younger brothers excitedly and busy, did not notice that after the strange snow, there was a small flying thing that flew very high in the gray sky from a distance, and after a few circles, it quietly Leave without a sound.
It wasn’t until the day after he had completely collected the strange snow that he was woken up by Du Hang beside him when he was half asleep.
“What’s the matter?” Wei Xuan, who was a little sleepy, rubbed his eyes and asked Du Hang puzzled.
Du Hang pointed out the window: “There is something.”
“Huh? What? Is it a mutated bird again?” Because there are a lot of green plants in Weixuan Community, the number of mutated birds who want to come down to eat green grass has increased a lot recently.
Although Wei Xuan’s appetite increased greatly, he felt that the taste of bird meat was not delicious enough. After catching one, he didn’t bother to kill other birds to save the meat for eating. He only ordered his zombie brothers to drive away the mutant birds as much as possible. Could it be that they have come to die to seek punishment without knowing their life or death?
“No, it’s a strange thing, not alive.” Du Hang turned his head and looked out the window.
Wei Xuan was surprised: “Strange thing?” Later, he found that Du Hang’s eyesight was different from usual. Normally, when he noticed something, he would look straight or vertically in a certain direction, but now, he was looking obliquely upwards—this That’s why Wei Xuan’s first reaction when Du Hang said something was coming was the mutated bird, “Where are you looking? Is that thing flying over?”
Du Hang nodded to confirm: “From the sky.” Although he didn’t understand why things that were not alive could fly, but this dead thing that could fly in the sky had a very normal feeling faintly in an unknown place in his heart. That’s why he didn’t jump up immediately, pick up Jin Cancan, which Wei Xuan declared as a weapon, and throw it away.
Wei Xuan’s heart sank: “Go, go and have a look.”
The two came to the window first, and Wei Xuan picked up the binoculars to confirm the target, and his heart sank—the zombies can’t recognize this thing now, but it doesn’t mean he can’t recognize it, it’s a drone! It became popular for a while before the end of the world, and then it was banned from flying by various gadgets in various places.
When Wei Xuan noticed that the thing had adjusted its direction, as if it had discovered his side, it began to hover in the sky and refused to leave, and when he was sure that there seemed to be something under it, he took a deep breath. He pulled Du Hang with his backhand and walked towards the roof together.
On the roof, there is a clear blue sky all around, with a few white clouds drifting occasionally.
The silver-gray small UAV approached slowly and tentatively. After confirming that the two people on the roof, whether they were zombies or humans, had no attack intentions, it slowly descended and placed it on the roof not far in front of them. He opened a well-sealed metal box, vibrated the propeller again, took off, lifted off and left this area.
Wei Xuan took a step forward, opened the box cautiously, and took out the letter after finding that there was only one letter inside and nothing dangerous. After seeing the contents, he was stunned for a moment: “… Zombie… Corpse King? ”
After checking the address again and again, and then reading the letter from beginning to end, he turned his head to look at Du Hang with a look of surprise and confusion, and pointed to his nose: “Do you think I look like a zombie king?”
Du Hang looked at Wei Xuan, tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded.
“…You don’t know what zombie king means, do you?” Wei Xuan was speechless, the corners of his mouth twitching.
Then, he suddenly heard an uneasy voice from downstairs: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Our Majesty…” It was the little zombies who ran out to watch UFOs flying from the sky at some point…
