Wei Xuan felt that going out to reconnect with old acquaintances and build relationships wasn’t an easy task. It wasn’t about the difficulty of the journey itself but rather the unique thought processes of his friend that made communication with him a bit challenging.
Moreover, he was constantly entangled with the unwilling zombie girl, making Wei Xuan feel like he was helplessly watching a good girl fall into the hands of thugs. However, if he were to intervene, and if the zombie girl managed to break free, he was uncertain if she could live freely in the city without being attacked by other survivors or mutated creatures.
As for Bai Guangnan, if he turned hostile, Wei Xuan was worried about the consequences.
Right now, Bai Guangnan seemed content with his life in this situation. He had a silly yet happy smile on his face as he held hands with his zombie girlfriend and replied, “No need to go out. I don’t need anything now. As long as I have enough clothes, it’s fine, right? I don’t need anything else. Why bother looking for so many things?”
Given his unique condition of not requiring food anymore and having a special bond with the girl, he had become a complete homebody, rarely leaving the house, preferring the safety and comfort of his current life.
Listening to the zombie girl’s complaints of “annoying, annoying, annoying,” Wei Xuan couldn’t help but smile wryly.
He nodded at the four zombies in the room and said, “I’ll take my leave then. If you need anything, leave a message in the other room. And if you happen to spot any groups or caravans passing by outside, be cautious. Last winter, I encountered a group of people entering the city in search of supplies, and they were armed. It was close to a confrontation.”
Wei Xuan concealed the fact that he had been shot and turned into a zombie before regaining consciousness. He casually fabricated a reason to warn Bai Guangnan.
Bai Guangnan nodded vigorously, saying, “I don’t even need to go to the villa area now. If someone comes in, I just ignore them.” Since discovering that he didn’t need to eat and that Cheng Ma had become a zombie, he had no motivation to leave the house.
In reality, Bai Guangnan wasn’t actually foolish. He couldn’t quite put it into words, but he had a vague sense that something was off about him now. He felt it was better not to meet outsiders, especially not alone. This instinct had kept him at home, where he guarded his girlfriend and the zombie companions, while waiting for Wei Xuan and Du Hang to return, uncertain if they were still alive or not.

“Why does this smell so good? It’s like braised pork…” He mumbled, savoring the taste as he put some into his mouth.
The zombie girlfriend, Cheng Ma, and her son hurried over too, exclaiming, “Hungry, hungry, hungry…” They had been hungry for almost a year. It was unfortunate that these four had ended up as zombies.
Wei Xuan’s mouth twitched as he pointed at the three of them. “They’re hungry too. By the way, do you remember sometimes it snows out of season? These snowflakes seem to be crystallized from the snow water that dried up.”
Since this guy had become such a homebody and even forgot about going downstairs to dig for these things, Wei Xuan decided it was better to inform him about the source of the snowflakes than to make them go outside to scavenge.
Upon hearing Wei Xuan’s words, Bai Guangnan nodded repeatedly. Even though he still wanted to eat more, he was already quite full. He quickly took out another handful and gave it to his girlfriend before sharing some with Cheng Ma and her son.
This time, Wei Xuan bid his farewell for real. He could only help them up to this point. While he had considered persuading them to return with him, they could choose any house they wanted when they moved in, just like with the zombie couple. However, it wasn’t necessary. Bai Guangnan was a sentient being with his own thoughts and could decide the life he wanted, just like Wei Xuan. He wouldn’t force it upon him.
Leaving the building, Wei Xuan looked back and gazed up at the towering structure. From this angle, the building seemed to reach into the clouds.
Before coming down this time, Wei Xuan had climbed to the top floor to get a view of the surroundings. Many houses had become even more dilapidated in the past year, and some streets seemed to have more debris. In a couple of places, he had seen zombies and mutated creatures fighting. It seemed the creatures had accidentally entered the city and clashed with the resident zombies.
However, apart from these incidents, there wasn’t anything else particularly eye-catching.
Wei Xuan didn’t spot any signs of special zombie activity either. Who knew if these zombies were wandering the streets like ordinary ones or if they had found a building to live in happily? Either way, neither option could be easily discerned.
Adjusting his emotions – after all, finding out that the people he once knew had “died” was a rather melancholic revelation – Wei Xuan took out a small notebook from the inner pocket of his coat and confirmed his next steps.
“Let’s head to the city center. We need to look for places selling high-quality digital watches, and we also need to find some other odds and ends. Oh, and we should grab some recipes too.”
Perhaps people like Bai Guangnan could thrive as zombies, staying cooped up at home without going out and being content with just eating a little snowflake now and then. However, Wei Xuan would never miss an opportunity to eat normally, especially now that he had plenty of time and wasn’t afraid of expending effort. Having an occasional luxurious meal was the best way to improve his life.
After all, since waking up, he hadn’t even played a single game. Most of his attention was now focused on “eating.”
Wei Xuan left the neighborhood, leaving the satisfied Bai Guangnan with a bag of snowflakes, ready to eat them when he got hungry.
Then, with great enthusiasm, Bai Guangnan rummaged through the room to find the tools he had used with Cheng Ma to dig for snowflakes when they went out together. He planned to go out and find a place to dig snowflakes in a day or two.
Although Wei Xuan had told him that the out-of-season snow was the source of these snowflakes, how could Bai Guangnan distinguish regular snow from strange snow when he lived in such a sealed-up building, rarely even opened the windows, and hardly ever went to the top floor?
He had no contact with the natural weather outside, so how could he instinctively go out and eat snowflakes when strange snow fell?
Therefore, after three consecutive snowfalls this year, he and his three zombie companions hadn’t even had a single meal… They were truly living an isolated life.
“Hmm? I feel like I’ve forgotten something.” While searching for what he needed, Bai Guangnan suddenly tilted his head in thought.
He recalled that there was something he wanted to ask Wei Xuan when he and Du Hang arrived. It seemed related to Wei Xuan and himself, and he had noticed it after Wei Xuan’s arrival, but… as soon as they started talking, he completely forgot.
“Oh well, I’ll remember later.” Scratching his head, Bai Guangnan cheerfully ran over to his indifferent zombie girlfriend.
His three zombie companions had shown no interest in biting him after the winter, and they hadn’t displayed any intention of biting Wei Xuan when he visited. Previously, it was because two of the zombies were tied up in the room, and with humans Cheng Ma and Bai Guangnan in the room, they naturally didn’t notice anything unusual.
However, this time, the zombies had shown no interest in anyone. If he had a bit more normal intelligence, he would have noticed something strange long ago.
What a pity that Bai Guangnan’s intelligence wasn’t quite normal.
