Wei Xuan stood in the rain, his expression bewildered. Ever since he woke up today, he had been subjected to various shocks. Indeed, sleeping for too long would make one realize that the world had changed significantly upon waking up. It seemed that he was disconnected from this world now.
Shaking his head vigorously, he tried to shake off that thought along with the raindrops falling on his head. Suddenly, he felt as though something was covering his head, protecting him from the rain. Looking up, he saw Du Hang behind him, holding up his arms, with a strange-looking pot on each hand – one placed on his head and the other shielding his head.
“…………Thanks,” Wei Xuan thanked his zombie “thoughtful” companion using a slang phrase from the pre-apocalyptic era. He took the pot from Du Hang’s hand, and while holding Du Hang, he walked towards the building they lived in. Along the way, Du Hang continued to hold the two pots, helping both himself and Wei Xuan stay dry.
Once they were back in the hallway, Du Hang lowered his hands, placing the two pots that had hardly caught any rainwater by the side. It seemed that he wasn’t satisfied with the amount of rainwater they collected. Recognizing that Wei Xuan was heading back inside where there was no rain, he deliberately put the pots outside to collect rainwater.
Standing by the window, watching the zombie brothers below with their paper baskets full of holes and broken pots and pans on their heads, Wei Xuan finally voiced the bafflement he had been holding in his heart: “Using these things won’t collect much rainwater.” Okay, the point wasn’t about that; it was about why they insisted on putting pots on their heads despite having so many containers nearby.
The autumn rain outside was coming down hard. The zombie brothers with their pots and pans on their heads were soon drenched by the rainwater leaking from their makeshift rain-catching devices. They looked even more miserable than if they had just taken a shower in the heavy rain. Watching this from the safety of his room, Wei Xuan’s lips twitched uncontrollably.
Although there were many things Wei Xuan hadn’t figured out yet, he had a faint suspicion – regarding why there were so many pots and pans around the place.
Turning around, he looked at Du Hang, who was obediently following him. “Who planted all those potatoes and carrots outside?”
Du Hang tilted his head, looking at Wei Xuan with confusion. Okay, this question seemed beyond Du Hang’s comprehension. So, Wei Xuan took Du Hang to the balcony, pointing at the overflowing flowers and plants and then pointing outside. “Those, who planted them?”
With something to compare to, Du Hang quickly understood, having heard the word “plant” before when Wei Xuan used it while gardening. He raised his arm, pointing at the zombie brothers down below who were holding various containers on their heads, and then pointed at himself. “Planted together.”
Wei Xuan felt his Adam’s apple move, and he swallowed slightly, continuing to gaze at the zombie brothers below.

Wei Xuan waited in the room, quietly, for the rain to stop. He didn’t feel hungry now, probably a result of the complete transformation in his physiology. However, he had an odd feeling that if something appetizing appeared, he would still feel insatiable hunger. Currently, the sensation in his stomach was akin to having fasted overnight, as if all the food had been digested already, but because his appetite hadn’t fully awakened after waking up, he felt like he wasn’t hungry.
At this moment, Wei Xuan could only pray that he wouldn’t feel the hunger uncontrollably when he saw living humans and chase after them.
Thinking about how he felt when he saw that peculiar snowflake earlier, Wei Xuan felt that he needed to prepare for something.
The heavy rain outside and the actions of the zombie brothers seemed unlikely to change in the short term. Wei Xuan took a few steps around the room before going to where he usually stored the peculiar snowflakes.
As expected, when he opened the cabinet, the bags that used to hold the snowflakes were now empty. Over the past year, his zombie boyfriend also needed to eat. And if he was willing to distribute food to other zombies and water the crops, using up all the snowflakes was completely normal.
After all, there weren’t many snowflakes left in the house before he fell into a deep sleep. The pots and containers on the rooftop were all frozen due to the temperature, and he hadn’t had a chance to melt them down yet.
Wei Xuan took out an induction cooker and connected it to the balcony’s power supply. He filled a pot with water that emitted a fragrant smell and started boiling it. As he boiled the water, Wei Xuan realized that this action he was doing now was completely crazy for his current self.
The aroma, the tempting sensation, made Wei Xuan fidgety once the water started boiling. The impulse and feeling welling up from deep within him made him disregard everything else around him – such as the pot of boiling, fragrant snow water.
Turning his head with difficulty, he looked at Du Hang beside him. “How could you resist it?”
At this point, Du Hang couldn’t answer Wei Xuan’s question. However, seeing Wei Xuan, who had been restless and busy since he woke up, now sitting obediently beside him and looking straight at him, Du Hang didn’t need words. He simply leaned in and kissed Wei Xuan, again and again.
It was still a passionate kiss that set hearts racing, but it seemed that every time Du Hang learned a new skill or technique, he would directly replace the old one with a new one.
The intimacy, passion, and ambiguity of the kisses gave Wei Xuan a feeling of heated excitement. This impulse and sensation welling up from within him made him forget about everything else around him – like the pot of boiling, fragrant snow water.
So, after a long time, the two of them finally separated and embraced each other, finding calmness together. As Wei Xuan rested his head on Du Hang’s chest, a thought suddenly crossed his mind – did he used to distract himself from his surroundings by kissing whenever he couldn’t resist? After all, who would always want to kiss like this?
Inside the room, snow water was boiling, and outside, the heavy rain persisted. The rain continued until evening before finally stopping, though the sky remained gloomy. Wei Xuan had collected all the boiled snow water and put it into bags to carry with him, just in case he accidentally encountered humans and needed to resist temptation. While bagging the snow water, he couldn’t help but sneak a couple of sips for himself, and of course, he remembered to feed Du Hang too.
At this point, upon returning to the window, he noticed something – the number of zombie brothers had decreased…
Indeed, the number of zombie brothers wandering around below had significantly reduced. Wei Xuan confirmed this by looking around, then immediately grabbed Du Hang’s hand and went downstairs.
Containers were placed everywhere in the complex, and now almost all of them were filled with rainwater.
The zombie brothers around emitted joyful emotions, and Wei Xuan could clearly hear them saying, “Filled up, filled up, filled up…”
Could this strange hobby of collecting rainwater be something they learned from him before he “slept”? After all, almost every time it rained, he would have a group of zombie brothers helping him collect snow water.
With speculation in his heart, Wei Xuan was still finding it hard to believe. After all, if they really learned this from him, the change was just too… miraculous.
With questions in his mind, even more incredible events awaited him. He had noticed that the zombie brothers would always carry the filled water in a certain direction after collecting it. Now, upon entering that building, he realized that compared to the containers in the complex he had previously sighed about, this place was on a whole different level…
The entire room was filled, stacked full of containers and water jugs!
This building had been cleaned and set up by Wei Xuan himself as a purification room for clean water. Now, within that familiar room, several sets of water purification equipment were working at full capacity.
A group of zombie brothers were pouring the freshly purified rainwater into water jugs and then carrying them to other rooms. Other zombie brothers were pouring the rainwater they had collected from various containers into stacks of various containers in certain rooms…
“…Heavens, where did you find so many water jugs?!” Wei Xuan entered several rooms in a row, and all he found were rooms crammed full of water jugs! From the floor to the ceiling, they were all barrels filled to the brim with water!
Hearing Wei Xuan’s words, the busy zombie brothers cleared the message that was flooding the screen, switching to “Found, found, found…”
“…Where did you find them?” Wei Xuan’s lips twitched a few times. While he did manage to collect quite a few mineral water bottles from the neighborhood, the quantity of these barrels clearly surpassed what he had acquired before. Where did these guys manage to find them all?
“Outside, outside, outside…” The outside world was vast, and the entire T city was huge. The zombie brothers weren’t as cautious as Wei Xuan when they moved around, and they wouldn’t intentionally leave things behind after finding supplies.
Wei Xuan wouldn’t touch items that were placed in other people’s houses or shops. However, the zombie brothers didn’t understand the difference between collecting things from scattered places and collecting from places where things were concentrated.
They had time, they had energy. During the time Wei Xuan was asleep, within a kilometer radius centered around Wei Xuan’s home, every house, every mineral water store, every shop, regardless of whether there was water in the water jugs or not, had been moved into Wei Xuan’s neighborhood by the zombie brothers…
