Chapter 16 - Kingdom of Living I - Part 16

***

Not far away from Dicang Village, in a park, specifically Sangke Wetland Park, a zombie is walking aimlessly around the area, looking around in the dark and snarling like a person who suffers the cold symptoms. That zombie cannot be seen well in the dark, but judging by the posture of walking and his way of snarling, you could deduce the zombie is a male. That zombie is the only one walking in this park, and he is hungry.

The zombie sees a human body laying on the ground, he walks toward that body, gasping for air and screeching like a zombie while walking to that body, indicating he has seen meat, and he is going to digest it. The zombie drops on his knees, goes closer with his deformed mouth to the chest of the dead human and starts to eat the remains of its insides which were devoured a while ago by another zombie. He was about to grab its first bite, but then, a thrown knife hits the back head of the zombie, plugging its face in the insides of the dead human body.

"Nice throw." says someone in the Mandarin language.

"Thank you." responds the other person in the Mandarin language.

One of the humans takes the knife from the zombie body, then the other is stabbing the head further with its knife, to make sure the zombie is dead completely and unable to move anymore. One of the humans is looking at the dark sky on this night, he is thinking about something while his friend cleans the bloody knife by using the tall grass around him.

"How many months have passed, Yan?"

"Six. I think." responds that guy named Yan and looks at his friend with an eye patch on his eye. "Why?"

"Sure the times have changed, ey?"

"Right." he takes a close look at the human body that was about to be eaten earlier. "Back then we used to clean the streets for money and packs of cigarettes. Now… We are hunting humans for survival."

"You think we'll have the chance to find fresh humans?" asks his friend who both continue to walk down in this park.

"To be honest, we may have to move on and eat vegetables."

"That's what I was thinking too, but with this virus. We don't even know if vegetables are safe. What if we are eating a wild carrot and the next day we woke up as zombies, or each other inside?"

"And if we find some wild vegetables, we'll boil them. Just like our Leader told us."

The two Chinese arrive in front of a cabin, where the person with the eye patch opens the door, checks inside by using his flashlight, and after he sees everything is alright, he and the other go inside, where they close the door behind them and rest inside. Both of them, they are slowly taking out the backpacks with human bodies found earlier today, place the backpacks on the first floor, the two are looking in each other eyes, they approach closely to one another and start to make out, both walking toward the nearest sofa i this small cabin has offered. There, they start to undress each other and start to make love right next to a decayed zombie body that lies on the floor.
