The Sabbath Chapter 94: Purple flowers

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Is anyone home?"

After a few firm knocks on the door, someone outside asked a question.

It is just a polite question now, if no one responds for a long time, it is conceivable that they will undoubtedly adopt a tougher questioning method in the future.

Such as breaking into the door——

Ms. Zora's pale and thin lips were tightly pressed to both sides again, and she finally made up her mind. She suddenly said:

"Big man, you're fired."

"Ah..." the voice of a child suddenly rose upwards, and the big man covered in blood seemed not to understand, but just stood there blankly.

Then, Mrs. Zora repeated:

"You are fired, starting today, you don't have to work here anymore."

"I'm old, and I can't manage such a big herbal garden, next"

The old woman pursed her lips again: "I consider closing this place."

"There is nothing you can do here, so"

"There is no need for you here."

"Get out of here, go where you should go, and then—"

"Never come back again!" The old woman said sternly.

The white eyes without focus suddenly looked up, and they were right in the direction of the big man in front. The old woman looked terrifying!

However, whether it is stern or fierce, it's just the appearance. She tries to open her eyes wide. Her eyes are not completely blind. It's just that she cried too much and her eyes are broken. When there is light, she can still Seeing a hazy shadow.

Just like Ronggui, just like Xiaomei

When they knocked on the door, she vaguely saw two small people coming in front of them, accompanied by clear and childlike voices, she thought they were two children at first.

The old man's eyes widened, staring at the big zombie in front of him.

She knew that it was time to drive the child away.

She may never see the child again.

A little bit is fine, she wants to see the child's appearance a little bit more clearly.

However——

Her eyes are really not good, no matter how hard she tries, it will be futile, she can only vaguely see that the other party is really big

Let's go! leave here! Don't get caught and never come to this town again!

Whether you go back to the soil or go to other people who are willing to give you a peaceful place, you should never come to this city again, child, you-

I have made a big mistake, and I can no longer be accepted by this city!

Staring at the hazy shadow in front of her eyes, the old woman pressed her lips tightly together, not letting the true thoughts in her heart reveal.

"Ah!" The big man let out two more shrill calls.

This time, he seemed to know what the old lady was thinking.

Slowly, he took two steps back.

What does the world look like in the eyes of the dead?

What does the world look like to them?

Or to ask: Can they really feel the world as they did when they were alive?

Feeling the slight trembling of Mrs. Zora's body leaning against her chest, Ronggui hugged her even tighter. He stared at the big man in front of him, and his mind was filled with the above questions.

He couldn't answer a few questions, but——

The robot's eyesight is really good. At that moment, when the big zombie retreated, he saw the dirty eyes of the other party.

In the eyes with dilated pupils and obvious post-mortem symptoms, he saw Mrs. Zora surrounded by himself, Xiaomei and Hana.

Hana and Xiaomei supported Mrs. Zora's upper body and sat up slightly, while Hana's little hand held Mrs. Zora's hand tightly.

"Ah!" The big man's cloak moved, and he lowered his head stiffly. He seemed to have found something under the cloak, and slowly, he fumbled out from under the cloak

A bottle of heart medicine?

Gently tossing the pill bottle on the floor, he left.

The movement was still a little stiff, and he dragged his feet, and he left slowly.

He walked towards the garden where he worked every day, Ronggui watched as he walked slowly to the outer wall of the garden, climbed up the ladder, and then disappeared.

"Now, give me a hand and go open the door." She closed her eyes for a moment of silence, and when she opened her eyes again, Mrs. Zora was in the calm, self-possessed, high-cool manner that Ronggui and the others usually saw. Also elegant old lady.

Her hair was a little messy due to the coma just now, and she seemed to notice that her current appearance might not be neat. The old man stretched out his hand, wanting to tidy up her hair.

Seeing that the old man's hands were trembling and he couldn't even comb his hair well, Ronggui quickly took over the job.

Leaving the old man's hair down, Ronggui made her a neat bun.

Although he is usually clumsy, when it comes to dressing up, Ronggui can always do surprisingly well.

Hana looked nervously at Ronggui and Mrs. Zhuo La. The little girl admired the fact that the two of them could still remember the pigtails at this time, and she didn't know what she could do to help. He could only lower his head to look at Mrs. Zora, and finally helped her wipe off the red shrimp rice sauce on her hands.

"Thank you, kids, you did a great job." Holding Ronggui's arm tightly with his palms, he stood up. He recruited Xiaomei.

With Xiaomei supporting her other side, Mrs. Zora finally stood upright.

The chin was raised slightly as before, and although the old man's face was still pale, his demeanor was no different from usual.

"Next, don't say anything, I will take care of everything." Just standing like this, the old man didn't intend to move out, because it was unnecessary.

Accompanied by a loud noise, the people outside broke in after knocking on the door for a long time without answering!

A group of people hula came in from outside, all of them were holding weapons, and they were nervous, as if there were some terrible monsters in the room.

Until they see Lady Zora and the three dwarfs?

Well, the three dwarfs are a bit strange, but they should be three children, right? Although two of the three children are robots, it is obvious that the four people in the room, the old and the young, do not seem to have any offensive power, which makes the people who came in with weapons feel a little more relaxed .

"Did no one tell you that when you go to someone's house, if someone's house has a wooden floor, the first thing you do when you enter the house is slippers?" The woman raised her chin and looked around with her white eyes, the old man said coldly.

Her aura was so strong that everyone who entered the door was frightened, so everyone bent down and slipped their shoes.

But when they were slipping off their shoes, they saw that there were already five pairs of shoes under the steps.

Three pairs of shoes are obviously children's size, one pair is adult women's shoes, and the other pair is also the pair with the most mud, but it is a pair of shoes that are obviously much larger than ordinary people.

Thinking of the reason why they came here, everyone's heart that had just relaxed a little bit immediately became tense again!

So, after taking off their shoes, they immediately questioned Mrs. Zora as originally planned.

"Ma'am, I see traces of overturned plates on the ground. Could it be that an undead came here just now?" Someone immediately noticed the traces on the ground.

"I overturned the plate myself. In the afternoon, I had a heart attack. I had just cooked the meal, and it fell because it was not stable." Mrs. Zora answered neatly.

"Heart disease this afternoon, an undead man went to the pharmacy to rob it. It just so happened that what he robbed was heart medicine. Could it be that you have something to do with it?" Someone immediately noticed the key words and immediately asked a question .

"Are you talking about a tall undead man?" Without any intention of vetoing, Mrs. Zora's white eyes followed the voice and accurately stared at the speaker's face, causing the heart of the speaker to tremble. When it was time, she said again: "I don't know."

"The dead person can't speak, how could I know him?" The chin was raised a little more, and Mrs. Zora asked the other party. With her white eyes still fixed on the face of the previous person, she said:

"However, he does often come to my place and come to help me with farm work."

"How can you hire an undead person to work! This..." The person who asked the question before was trembling because of her stare. He talked for a long time, but finally didn't finish speaking.

Instead, Madam Zora continued to speak.

"I don't have to pay him, so it's not an employment, let alone—"

"Before I posted a job advertisement in the city, everyone thought my old lady was scary and said the house was like a haunted house. Don’t let me use the free labor?”

After speaking, as if she could see the other party, Mrs. Zora's white eyes stared at him again.

"This opponent is very dangerous! You don't know, he robbed a pharmacy this afternoon. Because the manager drove him away, he attacked the owner and almost bit off the other's neck!"

"That's not an ordinary undead. The undead have evolved, and they're starting to attack ordinary people!" At the end, the man's voice became tough.

"Besides, when you had a heart attack, the other party robbed the pharmacy, and what they robbed was heart disease medicine. Look carefully, the heart disease medicine that was put there is the heart disease medicine he robbed, right? Why did he rob the heart disease medicine? ? It also attacked humans, could it be—”

What else does that person want to continue to ask? His voice is getting tougher. However, he is tough, and Mrs. Zora's voice is even tougher!

Madam Zora interrupted him mercilessly:

"I had an emergency heart attack in the afternoon. The medicine I ordered over the phone hadn't been delivered yet. When I had the attack, I was still on the phone. He fell into a coma when he got here, and you asked him why he went to grab heart medicine, and you said I knew it?"

The mouth opened and opened again, but the man didn't speak for a while.

Actually, what Mrs. Zora said was the truth. When they stood in front of the door, they had already known who the owner of this family was through various means. The shop that was robbed called and asked for medicine.

The other party answered truthfully the questions they asked.

However——

It is precisely because the other party has answered truthfully that they do not know what to do.

The undead who robbed the pharmacy to save people

The process of being blocked by people hurts ordinary people, which

In the end, they briefly inspected the entire house to confirm that there were indeed no undead hidden inside, and then they left.

"In the future, no matter how lonely you are, don't let the undead enter the house. They are no longer safe." However, before leaving, the leader still told Mrs. Zora like this.

For his words, Mrs. Zora only tensed her jaw and the curve of her neck reservedly.

Then, they left.

Xiaomei took the initiative to repair the door with a toolbox, Hana went to help him, and Mrs. Zora

Until this time, the old man who had been standing up straight before dealing with the crowd without losing the wind finally relaxed his shoulders, his back was slightly hunched, and she finally seemed to be in line with her age.

"Actually, they were right."

"It's just lonely."

"The dead man should rest in peace. I was wrong. I kept him here. Finally, I let him make a mistake."

Cloudy tears slipped from the eyes covered with a layer of white film, the old man stretched out a hand to cover his eyes, when Ronggui handed her a handkerchief, the old man thanked softly, and then A handkerchief covered his face.

Squatting on the ground, Hana looked at Mrs. Zora, who was still crying silently. The little girl raised her head, as if remembering something, and then lowered her head silently.

And Xiaomei——

Holding a hammer in his left hand and holding a nail with his index finger and thumb in his right hand, he is nailing back the broken door panel.

His movements are methodical, and he appears to be completely absorbed in his actions.

However, that's just what it looks like.

The sight represented by the eyes fell on the nail, and there was another image in his mind that was scanned by the scanning wave.

The "picture" is even bigger.

Not only all the people and scenery in the yard are in his mind, but also outside the yard, the caravan of people who have just visited here gradually leave the alley, the black cat in the alley, the rhubarb, and even— —

Just now Ronggui watched the leaving with his own eyes, and that big zombie was also in his mind.

The big man didn't leave.

It just seems to have left, he hid in a place very close to here.

The yard was quiet, and Madam Zora's cry became more obvious.

Xiaomei "saw" the gray shadow representing the big zombie walking back and forth hesitantly for a long time, and he even wanted to climb the wall again until——

"It doesn't matter if he's gone, he should go too."

"After working for so long, the kid should take a break"

Following Madam Zora's last words, she fell softly.

Xiaomei "saw" that big zombie finally moved.

This time, he withdrew his hands that wanted to climb over the wall, turned his head three times, and left.

Leave the alley and climb over a wall again. Mrs. Zora lives very close to the outside of the city. After climbing over that wall, you are outside the city.

This time, the big man left completely.

Boom

Boom

Boom

Steady, Xiaomei's hand kept knocking down the last nail.

That big zombie has nothing to do with Mrs. Zora, not a relative, not a partner, really nothing at all.

As Mrs. Zora said, when there was no recruiting for a long time, suddenly, one day, that big man came to knock on the door.

"At first I thought he was a robber." Mrs. Zora frowned as she recalled the day the two met.

A few days after that day, the old man finally stabilized physically and emotionally. The evidence is that she even took the initiative to mention the big zombie to them.

"I almost called the police! As a result, he walked straight to the backyard, picked up the **** and started working without saying anything."

"Have you seen it? Those undead people move very slowly. He was also very slow at the beginning, but with great strength, he finished my three-day job in one afternoon."

"At the beginning, he didn't understand what I said at all, but after a long time, I assigned him some work, and he seemed to know how to do it."

"The fingers are getting more and more flexible, but changing the light bulb is not enough."

"The cloak on his body was rotten, so I sewed him a new one."

"And shoes."

The old man was talking about the big zombie. Although she didn't seem to notice it, the old man was happy when she mentioned the other party.

"He is a very good employee! If he is still alive, I will definitely hire him. In the future, when I die, it will be fine to leave the garden to him!" Speaking of this, the old man laughed.

Then, Ronggui was stunned.

"Ah! Mrs. Zora, you have learned the accent of our native language!"

"Hahaha! Is there any?"

It was rare for the always serious old lady to smile. Seeing other people in the room laughing, Hana also laughed.

The room was filled with laughter.

Except Xiaomei.

The only laborer in the huge garden is gone, Xiaomei and Ronggui have to go to work, Mrs. Zhuola still has heart disease, and when no new employees can be found, Ronggui decides to let Xiaomei go out and give Mrs. Zhuola a job in the garden. Install a set of automatic watering nozzles, then assemble an automatic harvester, and it is best to have an automatic baler, so it's all done

Xiaomei did not refuse the inexplicable job assigned to her head.

For him, instead of letting him chat with two women, one old and one young, he would rather face metal materials and machines.

It's not difficult for him anyway.

It is——

Look at the woman on Ronggui's left - Mrs. Zhuola, and look at the woman on Ronggui's left - Hana.

Xiaomei felt as if she gradually saw a line clearly.

A line that runs through the demise of Sisiro.

As a person with a delicate and complicated brain, he couldn't imagine how a little girl like Hana could become a city slayer, so he asked Ronggui.

Just like Ronggui would ask him whatever comes to his mind, he is also casual in asking Ronggui questions now.

As soon as I thought of it, I asked, and the question was very straightforward.

"Under what circumstances would you do this massacre?" It was yesterday, after Hana fell asleep, and when the two of them were lying in bed, Xiaomei insisted on turning Ronggui back on.

Then, I asked him such a question bluntly.

Ronggui was obviously taken aback.

"Massacre the city? Do you mean to wipe out the entire city? Such a high-end foreign style requires technology, I, I have not enough brains and clumsy hands to do it!" Ronggui's reaction was also very straightforward.

Xiaomei: Actually, I don’t think you can do it either.

But——

"Think about it carefully." Even so, Xiaomei continued to ask.

Then Ronggui really thought about it.

After much deliberation, he finally came up with a situation: "Before, it was probably because Rong Fu and the others were bullied, and when they were bullied to the point that I couldn't help them fight back, I might have this kind of um, let everyone The idea that everyone will die together?"

"But it's better to be alive, you can settle accounts slowly!" After finishing speaking, Ronggui retorted by himself, and then——

With its head facing the ceiling, the little robot's black eyes stared quietly at the pattern there, Ronggui said: "Basically, this kind of thing is not something that a person like me can do, and there is a more likely situation."

"That's what happens when I'm not me anymore?"

"Haha, turned into a neuropathy? Crazy?"

Ronggui turned off the phone automatically while talking.

However, just this sentence, like a match, ignited the oil on the water, and Xiaomei's mind suddenly lit up.

Yes, this is the most likely situation!

When Hana is no longer Hana, she is most likely to become a city slayer.

For Ronggui, he is no longer himself, and the only answer he can think of is madness, but here, there is obviously another situation.

That is to become an undead!

Become a zombie in Ronggui's mouth!

When Hana turned into a zombie, she harbored some kind of unforgivable and unrevengeable hatred in her heart. This was the only moment when she could commit the crime of massacre!

Using Mrs. Zora’s employee—the big zombie as the fuse, the people in the city discovered that the zombies had begun to change. They became aggressive, and people were gradually unable to coexist peacefully with the zombies. Zombies will be restricted more strictly, and even perform various extreme behaviors. However, this is unacceptable to Hana whose parents are both zombies.

However, something crucial is missing from this line.

Quietly assembling the machine in her hand, Xiaomei thought, just a little bit, the truth of the entire city's demise appeared before his eyes.

However, knowing the truth is not the most important thing for him. For him, knowing the truth is only helpful to avoid risks. Soak your body in.

Spend three hours a day reading in the library, and go back to Hana's father's studio in the afternoon to prepare a strong nutrient solution.

By the way, although it is unbelievable for the pharmacists here, Xiaomei has indeed completely deciphered Hana's father's powerful nutrient liquid prescription, and now his daily work is to configure it.

It is very tedious work to refine ingredients, but let ingredient a react with ingredient c.

Xiaomei splits all the work into two months, doing the work that should be completed according to the plan every day, and his life is orderly.

Now he even has the time and ability to help Hana make some other commonly used medicines, and then sell them to Yani and the others when they bring guests over.

Then, take Hana's dad back outside the forest.

After the incident of the big zombies attacking ordinary people, the control of zombies in the city has indeed been strengthened. They are now even just able to take Hana's dad in with rhubarb every day and send it out with rhubarb.

With nothing to do with the things around him, Hana's dad is still keen to study every day.

But they made a new discovery when they sent Hana's father back one day.

That day, they took a road they hadn't taken before. The place was very desolate and there were few tombs.

Then—

When he walked to one of the tombs, Ronggui suddenly let out an "ah" and stopped in his tracks. He didn't move.

Following Ronggui's gaze, Xiaomei found a lot of purple flowers on the head of that tomb.

It is exactly the same as the pot of purple flowers from Kiki at home, and all the purple flowers are inserted on the scribbled grave bag.

"It's the flowers I gave him before."

"The big guy sleeps here."

Looking at Ronggui who had a sad look on his face and Hana who silently comforted him, Xiaomei didn't say a word.

Therefore, another fuse that caused the future massacre, the big zombie who may have evolved terrifying abilities and intelligence, like Hana's mother, also rested in peace.

It is true rest.
