After I Became a Zombie, My Face Is Paralyzed

Xiao Shenwei was the first to notice something was wrong.

He found that the shape of the small hill where they had squatted before looked somewhat familiar.

Until he set his eyes on the green turtle floating on the lake.

Xiao Shenwei was stunned for a second, then poked Rong Yun's arm: "Look."

...Look at this hillside, it's tall and round, doesn't it look like that turtle shell, it's green and wide?

Rong Yun nodded hesitantly.

Ni Youqing ran over in surprise, took out an engineering shovel from his backpack, and found a suitable place to dig.

Low vegetation was shoveled away, and the upper layer of soil was turned over.

Until the engineer shovel seemed to have shoveled something hard, and it made a "clang clang" sound as if a golden spear was hitting each other.

Ni Youqing pushed aside the layer of mottled soil, squatted down, and covered the cold and hard black substance with his palms.

Xiao Shenwei and Rong Yun leaned over to watch.

In the area of ​​one square meter that was dug up, there was a black scale-like thing, with some strange lines, extending under the soil that had not been dug up.

The green-haired turtle came rumbling over, tilting its head and looking at them.

Ni Youqing turned around and touched the green turtle's shell that was covered under the algae on its back, which was exactly the same as the scale that was dug out.

She thought she knew what it was.

The entire hillside is just a huge turtle shell... or rather, a corpse.

Ni Youqing stroked the green turtle's firm, sharp snout: "It's still a child."

This is a baby turtle.

And that corpse, which has been dead for more than half a year, may be its mother.

"Let's give it a name." Xiao Shenwei held his face in one hand, and picked up the aquatic plants on the back of the green fur turtle with the other.

"Let's call it... Xuanwu."

Ni Youqing and Rong Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

...Fortunately, this time I finally didn't come up with some very unique names for Xiao Shenwei.

"Nick name... well, it's called Lulu." Xiao Shenwei continued.

Ni Youqing: ...

Forget it, you shouldn't expect anything from him.

This man is not boastful at all.

Due to time reasons, they cannot stay here for too long.

Once at night, the sudden drop in temperature and cold wind is enough to freeze them into ice sculptures.

After bidding farewell to Xuanwu, the three decided to return to the station.

Xuanwu spit out a string of bubbles, watched them leave before returning to the water.

Xiao Shenwei looked at the misty valley from a distance, and pulled Rong Yun's sleeve:

"When I get better, let's build a small house here and live here, okay?"

Rong Yun held Xiao Shenwei's hand in the palm of his hand, and clenched it tightly: "Okay."

……

……

Three days later, it was a rare sunny day.

The departure of the death wind not only took away the blizzard, but also blew away the dark clouds that had shrouded it for several months.

The sun is here again.

Although there is no temperature, it is still a very pleasant thing to watch the silver-white plain shine brightly under the sunlight, and even the branches of the trees are coated with a faint golden awn.

The huge tires with snow chains rolled over the thick snow layer, and left the oasis all the way to the east.

Tantou didn't want to stay in the dark compartment, so he squatted on the roof of the car to blow the air.

The thick fur of the arctic wolf in winter can make it not afraid of the cold.

Compared with the hot summer, the current climate is its favorite.

Xiao Shenwei leaned against the soft fur of the charcoal head with the cat in his arms, his feet dangling from the side of the car.

He is not afraid of the cold, the temperature enough to freeze an ordinary person in single clothes to death, in Xiao Shenwei's view, is just a little bit cool.

On the contrary, a cat that is warm to normal people is like a small hot stove in Xiao Shenwei's hands.

He didn't have to wrap it so thickly.

But he couldn't stand Rong Yun's request.

The snowy field under the sun was dazzling, Xiao Shenwei couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Rong Yun replaced Ping Hanhai and went to drive. Xiao Shenwei took out a palm-length piece of wood from his arms, and carved pictures on it with his sharp nails.

The sculpture club that I joined out of interest in college has come in handy at this time, and it has become the best way for Xiao Shenwei to pass the time when he is bored.

What he is carving is a small puppet, and the embryonic form of a person can already be vaguely seen.

"call--"

Carefully blowing off the sawdust on the wooden idol, Xiao Shenwei pursed his lips, carefully portraying the idol's facial features bit by bit.

Rong Yun's face seemed to be deeply imprinted in Xiao Shenwei's mind, and he didn't need to think about it deliberately, he could move the picture in his memory to the statue in his hand little by little.

"You are here."

Ni Youqing climbed up from the skylight, the cold wind made her face turn pale, her nose was red from the cold, and the hot air from her mouth dissipated in the air in an instant.

"How long can I... hold on?"

Xiao Shenwei looked at the tips of his blue-colored nails, and held them in the air.

Ni Youqing turned around and looked into Xiao Shenwei's eyes.

The red ring is gorgeous, and the rich emerald color surges at the bottom of the black eyes, almost uncontrollably gushing out.

She looked at Xiao Shenwei's pale lips, and shook her head lightly: "...at most, there are still two months, if no breakthrough is found..."

Ni Youqing didn't say any more, her eyes fell on the distant horizon.

...two months?

Xiao Shenwei lowered his eyes and put his hands on his chest.

Where the blue pattern is only three inches away from the heart.

"What will happen?"

What happens if you don't find a breakthrough after two months?

"It will turn into a zombie."

A real zombie.

Ni Youqing brushed Tantou's hair with his fingers, without looking at Xiao Shenwei.

"After becoming a zombie..." Xiao Shenwei clenched the hand of the wood carving a little bit: "Can I still have memories?"

Ni Youqing was silent for a while, and his voice was soft, as if a gust of wind could blow it away:

"... Zombies don't have souls."

"...Well, I see."

Xiao Shenwei pursed his lips, and put the unfinished wood carving into his bosom.

He returned to the carriage and looked at Rong Yun's back in the cab.

...if there is such a day...

...I won't let myself hurt you...

for sure.

……

The trip to Kyoto is extremely dull and boring.

On the way, they encountered a small group of zombies and some wandering beasts.

But in the face of the huge body and sharp collision angle, these are not to be feared.

Xiao Shenwei began to fall into lethargy all day long, even the smell of barbecue could not wake him up.

Rong Yun stayed by Xiao Shenwei's bed almost day and night, holding his cold palm with rosy eyes.

Xiao Shenwei didn't wake up, Rong Yun was still making all kinds of Xiao Shenwei's favorite food in different ways every day.

There is always porridge and side dishes warm in the small pot in the kitchen.

Rong Yun was afraid that Xiao Shenwei would wake up hungry and would not be able to eat something hot.

The car headed east day and night.

Everyone is worried about Xiao Shenwei.

On the New Year's Eve of the last three years of mourning, they were still wandering on the snow field.

Xiao Shenwei was rarely sober.

The dinner was prepared by Rong Yun, it was very sumptuous, and a large table was fully set up.

Tantou got a whole huge leg of lamb and gnawed on the stairs.

Tangyuan and Baozi wagged their tails and crawled under the table, while Baozi lay on the side and watched lazily.

They could already eat some minced meat, Rong Yun mixed some for them and put it in the food bowl.

As usual, the flower roll was carried in Xiao Shenwei's arms as a hand warmer, with a small dried fish in his mouth.

Five people sat around the table, and in the middle of the various dishes on the table was a steaming hot pot.

"Happy New Year--"

The cups collided with each other and made a crisp sound. Inside was the only bottle of berry fruit wine they had been reluctant to drink.

Xiao Shenwei took a sip while holding the cup, and quietly retracted his wrist, his sleeves covered a small, somewhat abrupt blue spot on the inside of his wrist.

He looked at the unreal face of Rong Yun in the mist, his eyes were a little blurred.

No wind tonight, sunny.

Through the glass of the skylight, you can see the clear night sky and the sky full of stars.

A bright light dragged its long and gorgeous tail across.

Then there are two, three...

"It's a meteor shower."

Xiao Shenwei raised his head and bent his eyes, the light in his eyes was brighter than the starry sky.

"Make a wish." Ni Youqing cupped his face and looked at the sky above his head: "It is said that wishing on the Ursid Meteor Shower is the most effective."

"I hope Xiao Xiao gets better soon." Tang Qiu put his palms together and looked at the night sky devoutly.

"I hope Xiao Shenwei gets better." Ping Hanhai never believed this, but now he said in a low voice.

"I hope you get better, sincerely." Ni Youqing looked into Xiao Shenwei's eyes.

"...I want to have a good time with you." Rong Yun held Xiao Shenwei's hand and interlocked his fingers.

I want to have a good time with you.

Xiao Shenwei blinked, as if something was blocked in his throat, sore and uncomfortable.

"I think I will eat rabbit legs with honey sauce every day in the future."

Xiao Shenwei solemnly made a wish to the sky.

"...Won't you get tired of eating every day?" Tang Qiu raised his forehead.

"How come?" Xiao Shenwei turned his face to look at him, with a smile in his eyes: "As long as it is made by Rong Yun, I will never get tired of eating it."

The atmosphere froze for a second.

"It's killing me, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, eat vegetables..."

Ni Youqing took off his glasses and started to eat something from the hot pot.

"Stop it, it's mine!!!"

Tang Qiu snatched a piece of Maoxuewang from Ping Hanhai's men.

Rong Yun put a spoonful of tomato beef brisket on Xiao Shenwei's plate.

Then another chopsticks of spicy beef.

a large piece of chicken wing root,

A large piece of dry-stir-fried lamb chops,

A spoonful of hot and sour tripe soup,

One chopstick sweet and sour pork...

Xiao Shenwei looked at the hills piled up in the bowl, and was silent for a while.

Then I buried myself in eating under the eyes of others like lemon essence.

Tang Qiu turned his face away, stared and continued to fight for food with Ping Hanhai.

I don't know if it's because of wanting to avenge the bloody blood just now, but Ping Hanhai always cuts off Tang Qiu's favourites.

"Aren't you finished!!!"

After Ping Hanhai robbed Tang Qiu of a piece of chicken wing again, Tang Qiu exploded, staring at Ping Hanhai with red cheeks, as if he wanted to bite him.

"puff--"

Ping Hanhai suddenly lowered his head and smiled.

While laughing, he put the chicken wing root into Tangqiu's bowl: "Okay, let's stop making trouble, here you are."

Tang Qiu: "...you bit it!"

Ping Hanhai took the piece of chicken wing back again: "Okay, I'll give you another piece."

Halfway through, Tang Qiu snatched the chicken wing back again and bit it in his mouth: "Did I say I don't want to eat it?"

Ping Hanhai gave him a new one: "...everything is yours, everything is yours."

Ni Youqing looked around and looked around, feeling that the food in the bowl suddenly became stale.

Xiao Shenwei: Obviously it’s all mine.
