Reborn To The Start Of The Apocalypse To Farm - Chapter 57
After a good night’s sleep, Wei Xuan stretched his limbs after waking up.
This time, he slept from noon to evening again, and the sky outside had become a mixture of orange, apricot red, and purple making it look extremely magnificent.
In the evening light, Wei Xuan woke up and looked at Du Hang who was laying next to him – he was obediently looking back at Wei Xuan. Their sleeping postures don’t look awkward this time, it evolved from the hugging posture to a sitting princess hug.
When he turned his head to look at the door…
“…what the hell is that?” That male zombie looked familiar. It was standing at the door with half of its body hidden behind the wall next to the door frame, only half of a round face was exposed. Looking inside with a blank face, there is quite a strange feeling as if he is being secretly observed.
Wei Xuan was familiar with this zombie because it was the zombie who kept dragging a female corpse. It’s just that most of the zombies and the female corpses are hidden behind the wall where he can’t see.
But… what the hell is this situation?
Before, he saw the zombie walking back and forth on the street, why did he suddenly develop a hobby of standing at the door and looking inside?
Wei Xuan was a little stunned, and immediately looked left and right again—there was nothing in the room except himself and the three zombies.
Oh, by the way, after coming here this time, there are two extra huge cardboard boxes, but the solar panels that he usually carries are not small, so what is that zombie looking at?
Du Hang, who was serving as Wei Xuan’s bed, was also looking out the door at this time.
Wei Xuan got up quickly and pulled Du Hang slowly towards the door. He was careful in case this zombie would suddenly attack—what if the zombie knows that Wei Xuan is actually a human?
But when he dragged Du Hang to the door, the zombie was still standing there blankly, as if it was pretending to be a statue.

After eating ‘breakfast’, he tidied up his things a little, and only after it got dark did he check and tightened the items on everyone’s backs. He walked ahead and left the gate of the beauty salon, heading south.
He led the way with ease and occasionally looked back at Du Hang and the others. Although the sight in the dark was poor, it was easy to distinguish Du Hang and the tall zombie because they were carrying huge boxes. The target of the short zombie is not obvious, but Wei Xuan still believes in the bond between him and the tall zombie, and the rope still looks very strong, so naturally, there is no need to worry too much.
Because of last night’s experience, Wei Xuan can be sure that the ropes he tied to the boxes are very strong, so he doesn’t need to be distracted to check the condition of those boxes along the way.
The way home was much calmer than what he encountered yesterday, except that they had to be careful to avoid the zombies sleeping on the street and the zombies wandering along the way. The group then returned to the community where they lived at about four o’clock in the morning.
“Finally I’m back… Now I don’t need to have such long trips for supplies anymore.” After returning to the familiar neighborhood, looking at the zombies with familiar faces wandering around in the neighborhood, Wei Xuan felt a burst of heartfelt emotion.
After bringing the three younger brothers to the room where he usually stores supplies, Wei Xuan first put down the backpack he was carrying and then turned around to help Du Hang and the other two zombies unload the items they were caring. This room had heavy blackout curtains, so he could turn on the light without any worry.
When Wei Xuan turned around and looked back, he was suddenly taken aback and the whole person jumped back suddenly!
“What, what’s going on?! Why is there one more?!”
Originally, when Wei Xuan went out, the rope tied around his waist was connected to Du Hang, the rope on his wrist was connected to the tall zombie, and the rope on the waist of the tall zombie was connected to the shorter zombie. And now, in what should be a group of one person and three zombies, there is one more…
No, it is not entirely correct to say that there is one more. He was also dragging the female corpse that had already changed beyond recognition. The situation now made it impossible for him to describe his shock.
What shocked him even more, was that this zombie didn’t actively follow along like the previous two zombies, nor was it accidentally brought along (for example, getting tied up in the ropes), but he was brought back by Du Hang who grabbed his wrist!!
After looking back and forth between Du Hang and the chubby middle-aged uncle, Wei Xuan still couldn’t figure out why he brought this zombie back. And the expressions on the faces of the zombie pair were also very dazed as if they didn’t know anything, as if Wei Xuan’s shocked question was not caused by them at all!!
“What the hell is this?” Wei Xuan walked around the room with a lot of things piled up with his hands behind his back, and then suddenly remembered—he still had other things to do! The items on the zombies’ back’s have not been taken down yet!
Even if they don’t feel tired, he can’t abuse them like this, right?
So Wei Xuan could only complain to himself, unload the supplies, and keep looking at the fat uncle zombie—could Du Hang actually like this zombie uncle? No, that can’t be, the appearance of this zombie… and not to even mention their age difference… he could be Du Hang’s father at that age!
Wait… his Father?!
Wei Xuan was startled again, the hand that was putting things stopped in mid-air, looked at Du Hang in astonishment, and then at the zombie, and then, another image flashed in his mind-the the huge plaque at the entrance of ‘Haojiajiayuan community’, the community that gave him a vaguely special impression…
Taking a deep breath, he hurriedly took the items down, and Wei Xuan, who had no time to untie the rope on his wrist and let the zombie couple back to rest, hurried out, with a group of younger brothers following him, ran to his room on the third floor and rummaged. He took through the clothes and important items that he stored.
Here, this is Wei Xuan’s ID card, household registration book, and other such items pertaining to Du Hang.
When he first met Du Hang, he helped him organize and store everything in his suit pockets, including his documents and a bunch of keys.
On his ID, besides Du Hang’s name, and age, there was also very important information – his home address.
“…Room 204, Building 5, Haojiajiayuan.”
No wonder he felt some kind of familiarity with that neighborhood.
No wonder Du Hang would stare outside the door every time they rested in the beauty salon in that community.
No wonder that chubby zombie would hang around the door of the beauty salon almost every time he and Du Hang were resting there after the first encounter.
No wonder, Du Hang pulled that zombie all the way back…
Wei Xuan stood up and walked to Du Hang who followed him still holding that zombie’s hand. Wei Xuan raised his hand and touched his cheek slowly: “He feels familiar to you… that’s why you brought him to our home.”
If you look closely, you can find that although the zombie uncle looks messy and dirty and one can’t see his original appearance, his facial features, especially the shape of the nose and mouth, are very similar to Du Hang.
Wei Xuan lowered his head and looked behind the zombie uncle, this long-dead female zombie… it should be Du Hang’s… mother.
The zombie couple was untied by Wei Xuan and set free, so they climbed the stairs danglingly and went back to their room.
In the same building where the zombie couple lived, Wei Xuan assigned the room on the first floor to Du Hang’s father. He then fetched a few buckets of water to help him wash his face and body briefly and combed his messy hair.
Sure enough, the uncle who is much cleaner indeed looks much more similar to Du Hang. However, the double chin and beer belly are not the same at all!
What gave Wei Xuan a headache was… the corpse of the zombie he had been pulling.
He is 90% shure that this is Du Hang’s mother! People should be buried in the ground after death, and this is the same even for zombies. What’s more, this corpse has been so badly decomposed that he can’t see the original facial features and appearance at all.
But for this corpse, the uncle zombie has the same stubbornness as the zombie couple – no one is allowed to touch or snatch it away! He just has to hold its hand!!
Wei Xuan was very troubled by this, he didn’t want to see Du Hang’s mother being dragged on the ground by his father every day, but he couldn’t compete with his father for the burial of his mother’s body.
