The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"I believe what my father says, but what if my father's mouth is different from mine?"

Yuanyuan looked up at him sincerely with her big moist eyes, asking him a soul-searching question.

"..."

Qi Siyue looked into the child's eyes, and glanced at the zombie struggling in confusion at the foot of the wall, whose body was gradually mutating.

The child grabbed his trouser legs with her two little hands, as if trying her best to prove that she was the same as everyone else, but the facts before her made it impossible for her to believe it.

The child heard clearly what Li Dong shouted just now. She was smarter than other children of the same age. He could hide it from her this time, but not the next time.

He held the child's shoulders, borrowed some strength from her, sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked into her eyes calmly.

"Do you remember you said you were bitten by a zombie?"

"Remember!"

Yuanyuan also sat down cross-legged. Her father said that she turned into this color because she was bitten by a zombie.

“Zombies were originally ordinary people. When they were bitten by other people carrying the zombie virus, they would be infected and turned into zombies, losing consciousness and biting other people.

You are lucky that after being bitten by a zombie, you did not turn into a mad monster, but became stronger, able to climb smooth walls, have invulnerable skin, and your teeth are sharper than others.

This doesn't mean that you are not a normal person. You are one too. You are different from zombies. You think like everyone else and don't bite people randomly.

Those people wanted to come in because I had a lot of food stored and they wanted to come in and grab it.

If they come in and rob us, we may be hurt by them or even lose our lives.

The thing that the man just used to hit you was a bullet. If an ordinary person was shot, he would most likely lose his life.

He wants to kill you, so there is nothing wrong with you attacking him. It's very chaotic outside now, and there may be more people coming to snatch our food in the future, so we can be kind, but we can't be too kind.

He deserved the broken arm, not your fault, because you protected our food and home."

Qi Siyue didn't know if she could understand what he said. Is a person wearing human skin necessarily a human?

Many people are just animals in human skin, and they are called normal people because they can take care of themselves.

Yuanyuan's ears perked up as she listened, and anger appeared on her chubby face: "What? They want to steal our food? I'll bite him again."

Stealing her food is worse than beating her.

"Don't go. You bit him and he's already mutated. We need to find a way to catch him and throw him out."

Qi Siyue still felt that it was more important to get rid of this real zombie. As long as she understood what he said and stopped worrying about her identity, it would be fine.

I don’t know whether I will become an ordinary zombie after being bitten by the child, or a zombie like her. The latter is a bit of a headache.

The two of them sat there quietly, watching the person in the corner gradually mutate completely.

Until Li Dong, whose mutation was complete, crawled up from the ground. He exuded a smell similar to that of a corpse, his eyes were bloodshot and he made a hoarse hissing sound from his mouth. There were spots of various sizes on his bluish-brown skin.

He remained silent for a few seconds, took two steps with his clumsy body, and suddenly ran towards the father and daughter like a madman.

Qi Siyue clenched the sword in his hand and prepared to hit him hard again, but he stopped in front of the two men, and a look of fear appeared on his strange and distorted face.

"do not come!"

Yuanyuan frowned, her little face tense. She was still a little scared when she saw the zombie's face again.

As expected, the zombie stopped moving. Its scarlet eyes were dull and it stood there as if motionless.

"?" Qi Siyue looked at the strange scene in front of him and gently patted the child's shoulder: "Let him move again..."

An idea emerged in his mind, and he waited for the child to verify its truth for him.

"You go over there..."

Yuanyuan didn't understand what his father meant, but he still did as he was told and pointed to a place, asking it to go away.

Sure enough, the zombie walked aimlessly in the direction of her finger.

"You can also control zombies..."

Qi Siyue spoke in a calm tone, but that didn't mean he was in a calm mood. He was so shocked that he was about to go crazy, so he seemed exceptionally calm.

"I have no idea……"

Yuanyuan knew nothing and accidentally unlocked a new skill.

This is a skill only possessed by advanced mutant zombies in the later stages, and it is also her most basic ability.

After the people outside heard three gunshots and a man's terrified scream, everything in the mountain returned to silence.

"Are the father and daughter dead?"

"Brother Dong, why don't you open the door and let us in?"

"Just be patient and wait, maybe they are looking for a way to open the door."

"..."

They still hold on to their dreams, waiting for this iron gate to open so they can embrace a good life with enough food and drink.

A few people with loud voices even shouted through the iron wall, trying to get a response from the people inside.

The iron gate loosened a little, and everyone looked over with joy, and the gate slowly opened.

When they were about to enter, they were stunned by the scene before them.

"Dong...Brother Dong..."

"How could this be?"

"Run!"

"What's in there? Why is this happening?"

"..."

No one understood what was inside. The worst-case scenario was that Li Dong would be killed, but no one thought that he would be turned into a zombie.

Seeing the new human, the zombies immediately chased after them at a very fast speed.

Some clever ones tried to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in, but were hit by a sword from Qi Siyue who was standing behind them, and almost had one arm chopped off.

Only after watching the iron gate completely closed did he limp back to the house with the child.

The screams outside were gradually fading away, and it was unclear whether they would be bitten and mutated by the zombies, or would work together to kill the zombies and escape.

That depends on their luck. There is no good one among the same nest of snakes and rats.

Qi Siyue's leg fell quite badly and it was swollen when he returned to the house.

Fortunately, the villa was equipped with a full range of medical tools and medicines. He endured the pain to straighten the dislocated bones and used the tools to fix his leg.

When he was a child, his grandfather would beat and scold him for no reason. He handled it more often and became more skilled at it.

"Dad, are you in pain?"

Yuanyuan gently wiped the sweat off her father's forehead with her little hand. She just heard the sound of his bones cracking.

"fine…"

Qi Siyue leaned on the sofa with a pale face and relaxed for a while. When he met the child's eyes full of worry, his heart softened and he raised his hand to gently rub her head.

"It's just that these days, cooking may not be so convenient."

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, so he needs to rest for a while at least. However, there are instant foods in the refrigerator, so he should have no problem cooking something on crutches.
