Life has not been an abstract concept since ancient times.

People living on this earth fear the existence of life and long for the true meaning of life, so countless classics and works that can be passed down from generation to generation appeared.

Because whether it is humans, beasts, plants, etc., or zombies, their existence has their own meaning of life.

No matter their race, they can find the brightest point in their lives.

But just like the fireworks shining in the night sky, bright things often cannot last forever. Although life is brilliant and beautiful, life is also fragile and fragile.

Even the mountains and rocks, which are known as invincible, will eventually gradually weather as time passes, and then one day disappear into this world.

What is the meaning of life?

This is the same problem that many humans have ever had.

They asked their hearts and tried to get answers. Then, in order to find the answers they wanted, many people struggled to find the answers they wanted, but in the end they could only leave an old tombstone, proving that they once existed in this world.

In early winter, the weather in Wocheng has not completely become colder, and it still brings the coolness of late autumn.

The howling wind swept several leaves falling from the tree, slowly falling on this slightly simple tombstone.

Between the grasslands that have been surging due to the long-term lack of human maintenance, there is a small grave standing alone. The morning sun shines on the grave, and the handwriting on the tombstone written on the wooden sign has begun to turn yellow.

Shishi was a little afraid of this small grave.

What made her even more afraid was the small villa behind the grave.

She once spent the darkest period of her life in this villa. She even forgot a lot of things due to excessive abuse and beating.

But even if the memories of the past have long been forgotten, the fear engraved in the heart cannot be expelled.

As for the small tomb in front of him, Chu Donglin rushed back to establish it for Shishi's father after settling down.

When the zombie tide was driven to flood the villa, Chu Donglin specially hid Shishi's father's remains in a place that ordinary zombies could not reach. Therefore, Shishi's father's remains were spared in the tide of zombies and were not eaten by zombies.

However, because Chu Donglin was slightly inconvenient at that time and lacked tools, he could only make do with such a simple grave. Even the tombstone was found to be a long wooden board written with a brush.

"Shi Shi, this is your father's tomb."

Chu Donglin appeared in the community with the little girl Shishi, the girl Xiaoxue, and a white wolf that was as huge as a magical monster, pointing to the small grave in front of him and saying.

The little girl was vaguely afraid of the tomb that Chu Donglin pointed to. After all, in her memory, she had forgotten all the past.

But Chu Donglin could not lie to her. Since Chu Donglin said that this was the tombstone of her biological father, the little girl did not doubt it.

She stood on the path, hesitated for a while, and glanced at Chu Donglin beside her.

Chu Donglin let go of her hand and patted her shoulder with encouragement.

"Go and see him. Then say a few words to him. He must be lonely here alone."

The little girl nodded in a vague way, walked to her father's tombstone alone, thought for a while, knelt down, and kowtowed twice.

As for the little girl's gentle murmur, Chu Donglin did not listen.

He stood by the road with Bailang and Xiaoxue, leaning against Bailang's soft body. Chu Donglin thought for a while, took out a cigarette and lit it.

He rarely smokes, and it can even be said that he would drink a few drinks in social occasions, and he almost never touches cigarettes and alcohol.

It’s not that I can’t, I just don’t want to.

Looking at the man leaning quietly there and his cheeks were covered in smoke, Xiaoxue tilted her head and suddenly asked.

"Don't you like it?"

Chu Donglin was stunned for a moment, looked at her, but didn't understand for a moment, "What do you like?"

Xiaoxue pointed to the back of the little girl who was talking to the tombstone with a serious face not far away, and said, "Don't you like me to turn Shishi into this way?"

Chu Donglin was silent and smiled, "I can't say I like it or not, I just have some..."

He thought about it, threw away the cigarette in his hand, stretched his waist and stood up straight, "Sure enough, I still don't like smoking..."

Then he looked at Xiaoxue and said, "I don't like you to turn Shishi like this, I just think... something is wrong."

Xiaoxue's face was full of confusion.

"Why is it inappropriate? Shishi becomes more powerful and can protect herself. She can fight with us in the future and no longer have to worry about her... Isn't this good?"

"But what happened after Shishi became even more powerful? She will continue to fight like us, fighting, fighting again, and fighting again? We will continue to fight until we all evolved to the point where we could no longer evolve?"

Xiaoxue's face was still full of confusion, "Isn't this good?"

Chu Donglin sighed and smiled bitterly.

"Xiaoxue, what kind of creature do you think humans are?"

The girl's answer was very calm.

"food."

After a pause, she added, “Very delicious food.”

Then, she looked at Chu Donglin with some grievance, "But you never allow me to eat..."

Chu Donglin was silent for a while and smiled bitterly, "I thought you had changed your view of human beings for a long time, but I didn't expect...hey..."

Sighing silently, Chu Donglin said, "But no matter what, we were all humans, don't you find it strange to be like cannibalism?"

Xiaoxue looked at him with confusion, "Is cannibalism the only way for us to become stronger?"

Chu Donglin was suffocated and became speechless for a moment.

Indeed, the way to become stronger is to hunt zombies of the same level and to suck their brain evolutionary crystals to become stronger.

As for high-level zombies not eating low-level zombies, it is also because the evolutionary crystals of low-level zombies lack the effect on the evolution of high-level zombies, and it is not other things.

As a real zombie, Xiaoxue really has no resistance to cannibalism.

He shook his head for a while before he explained.

"But there will always be an end point for the evolution of zombies. When we have evolved to the strongest and can no longer find zombies of the same level to hunt, how should we become stronger? What should we do at that time?"

Xiaoxue looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "I want to follow you."

"Then what?"

"there is none left……"

The girl tilted her head and said, "I just want to be by your side all the time."

Chu Donglin was silent for a moment.

He smiled with some relief and some emotion, and shook his head.

"But Shishi is still young, I can keep you with you until you hate the day you follow and want to leave. But Shishi is different, children will always grow up."

He looked at the back of the little girl not far away and sighed slowly, looking a little sad.

"She likes to pester me now, but one day she will grow up. At that time, she will like more novel things, get tired of the days when you and me are all around her, and she will want to meet more people and become friends with more people."

"But zombies cannot have friends, and zombies cannot become her friends. When she grows up, she will gradually hate zombies, which are only bloody and killing, and she will long for human society... After all, humans are social animals. After all, there are only zombies with you and me. She will gradually get tired of it and finally want to escape."

"But now she is a zombie. Zombies are born to be unable to get too close to humans. I have been trying hard to protect her, hoping that she can have a sound life in the future."

"After all, at her age, she should have her own friends, she should study, study, and then gradually grow up. She will accidentally fall in love with the male classmates in the next class, she will be shy and worried about gains and losses, and then gradually grow up, understand more things, and can find the person she really likes, live a peaceful life with the other party, and live a normal life... I have always thought so."

Chu Donglin looked at the little girl's back and sighed to the sky.

"I never knew that zombies could suppress humans all the time, and never underestimate the power of humans. Although we rely on the advantage of numbers to drive those humans to the corners and survive, based on the resilience and vitality of humans, if we cannot exterminate all humans at once, then humans will one day regain their world."

"Are mutant zombies powerful? They are indeed very powerful, but powerful mutant zombies also appear weak when facing human high-tech weapons. Now I may be able to ignore the threat of bullets and ordinary small shells on the front battlefield, but if I accidentally step on a mine, I will be seriously injured, and humans have more weapons that are much more powerful than these."

"Even when humans finally gradually recover from the zombie crisis, relying on their wisdom and knowledge inheritance to re-create powerful weapons. Faced with powerful nuclear weapons that can destroy a city with one blow, no zombies can survive."

"I have been waiting for the day when humans retake their world. By that time, Shishi can return to the life of normal human beings, and the civilization of this world will be rebuilt."

"My original idea was to protect Shishi's safety before that day came and not let the dangers in the end of the world threaten her. But obviously... I failed."

He looked at the little girl's back and smiled bitterly, "She has become a zombie, which means she can no longer return to the human group." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
