The skinny guy died, but he wasn't pushed down the stairs and killed.
After all, it was only the second floor, and it would be somewhat difficult to kill someone by throwing them down.
The skinny guy was scared to death.
While Anze was busy in the kitchen preparing supper, Baiyin squatted down and poked the skinny guy's face, twisted in terror.
He said, "Looks like this kid was scared to death. Should I let your daughter eat him?"
A voice of silence came from the kitchen:
"Don't talk about such scary things. It's troublesome for you. Just throw it away!"
"Fine!"
Baiyin opened the front door and casually threw the skinny guy's body outside somewhere.
After entering the house, he went to the basement to retrieve his bag.
As an aside, he let out Blackie, who was wagging his tail eagerly.
"Blackie is such a good boy, doesn't bark unless told to!"
Like coaxing a child, Baiyin lifted him up and sat on the sofa, just scratching the black dog's belly.
In the meantime, he glanced at the hallway on the second floor, where Yaya's room no longer had the sound of chewing.
"Has your daughter eaten people before?"
Baiyin suddenly asked towards the kitchen, curious.
"I've told you, don't use such scary language..."
Anze was somewhat speechless but replied seriously:
"There was one time, I was out hunting.When I came back, I found a man's body in Yaya's room, already gnawed beyond recognition."
"A thief?"
"I think it was a thug, because he had a knife!"
"Was everything okay that time?"
"Yeah, Yaya wasn't injured. I reckon she ambushed him while he wasn't paying attention."
"It seems like once people turn into zombies, their aggression increases dramatically."
"Yaya is not a monster!"
"I didn't mean that. In the end, it was the zombie nature that changed her.But you, watching your own daughter eat people with your own eyes, yet still having the leisure to stroke her hair.Aren't you the monster?"
"I don't think someone who stays calm at the crime scene has the right to accuse me..."

The bald man's table was removed.
The new dishes on the table were stir-fried wild chicken and rabbit, along with some wild vegetables.
Additionally, there was a large plate of peanuts.
As for the main dish, it was a small bowl of noodles.
Anze opened a can of beer for himself.
Baiyin not fond of alcohol, poured himself a glass of Sprite.
After finding a plate, he put several pieces of meat with bones underneath the table for Blackie to gnaw on.
Then he got down to business:
"Come on, spill it. I've kept my mouth shut for so many days!"
Baiyin chewed a mouthful of meat in his mouth.
Anze took a big gulp of beer, burped lightly, and chuckled:
"I like guests like you, humble but respectful.
Unlike those fools in horror movies, always nosing around behind the host's back."
"You're talking about horror movie plots, right? How many of those protagonists end up well?
Besides, I'm just here to recover from my injuries, why bother about me so much?"
"Yeah, you're right!"
With that said, he took a sip from the beer bottle, clinking glasses with Baiyin.
They both took a sip simultaneously.
"I can see you're not an ordinary person. Young as you are, your style is not youthful at all.
Actually, I've been wanting to ask since the beginning.
But considering I have things to hide from you as well, I kept quiet.
But now, since you know my secret, let me ask:
How about it, can you reveal what you used to do?"
"Don't act like I've exposed your secret.
You've exposed it yourself and now you want me to reciprocate, you really know how to do business."
"Can't you really say?"
"I don't want to talk about it, but you can guess."
"Hmm... a killer?"
"I think 'assassin' sounds better."
"That's too edgy, 'killer' is better, but it doesn't matter now anyway.
Looks like I guessed right.
Why doesn't my daughter bite you? Can you explain?"
"She did just bite, even though she missed."
"You know what I mean."
"Before knowing other people's secrets, shouldn't you show some sincerity about your own?"
"Sigh... fine!"
Anze sighed and then said:
"Remember the epidemic a year ago?"
"Yeah, but I don't know the specifics."
"At that time, the head of the newly built hospital was my teacher.
From him, I learned some testing methods and information about the disease.
Early treatment of the disease was simple, and it was manageable in the middle stage, but it was hopeless in the late stage.
During that time, everyone in the county went to the hospital, but my daughter and I didn't, can you guess why?"
"You hid?"
"Yeah!"
Anze took a big gulp of beer.
"I used the methods my teacher taught me to test my blood, found nothing wrong.
Then I tested Yaya, guess what?
She was already in the late stage!"
"So you hid to accompany her in her final moments?"
"Yes!
If not, Yaya would have to wait to die slowly in the cold hospital room.
Anyway, by that time, the county had become a dead city, even if we stayed here, we wouldn't cause anytrouble to anyone."
"Weren't you afraid of being infected by your daughter midway?"
"Heh heh..."
Anze just chuckled and drank a big gulp of beer:
"Yaya couldn't survive, what's the point of me being the only one left in the world?"
"What happened next?"
"Then... the zombies broke out, and the world suddenly became chaotic.
One day, Yaya accidentally ran far away, and when I found her,
a zombie, I don't know where it came from, was chasing her.
The poor girl was crying her heart out.
I was terrified!
I brought her back home, finally shaking off the zombie.
But I found scratch marks on her feet.
Yes, she was infected."
"Gulp, gulp..."
A can of beer went down, and then, another was opened.
"Because of the epidemic, Yaya had at most a few days left to live.
But even so, I still felt sorry for her being infected by zombies.
I originally thought, at least Yaya should have a dignified departure.
After she passed away and was buried, I immediately went to accompany her.
But guess what?
Yaya turned into a zombie the next day.
And even after that, she remained alive for many days.
She was still alive!
I suddenly understood.
Although that epidemic was terrifying, it was fatal in the late stage.
But as long as you turned into a zombie, you could defy fate and continue to live.
Although she was a zombie, she could still move, she was still my daughter, right?"
"Did she ever attack you?"
"She did, right at the beginning, she bit me as soon as she saw me.
So I had to reluctantly put a lot of iron chains on her, and it wasn't as cool as it is now."
"And now...?"
"Maybe it's because I talk to her every day, I was afraid she'd be bored, so I chat with her every day."
