Zhihu Yanxuan _ I raise zombies in the zoo

“He wants me to raise zombies!”

I suddenly understood that no wonder the director of the zoo personally came forward to recruit a zoo keeper.

His offer is very attractive, and this is the most famous zoo

in the city and even in the country.

However, it is difficult for me to make this decision, because the newspaper has published the origin of this zombie. A policeman was injured when he

caught it. I saw the photos of the scene at that time. The policeman

was bitten off a big piece of meat on his arm and died within a month. There are also rumors that

the police did not die, turned into zombies, the police afraid of trouble, forced the police cremation.

It is said that the family members of the police also went to the police station to make trouble.

Not to mention those online reports, it is said that zombies were locked up in the zoo exhibition for less than a

year, before and after killing three keepers. The head of the

park is a kind old man, seems to see through my concerns at a glance, smiled and showed me

a few web pages, all about the park’s zombie reports. The head of the

park focused on showing me the article explaining the zombie breeding environment, and at the same time explaining

to me quarantine feeding methods throughout the park, assuring me of the absolute safety of the breeders.

However, I am most interested in the news of the first few breeders.

Two people went to Hengdian when the special type of actor, because they through the long-term contact with the zombie, can complete the performance of the real; there is a writer, wrote a book “and the zombie cohabitation days” bestseller, next month will come to the city signing.

“It’s just a rumor in society that the keeper was bitten. It’s all false.” The head of the park looked at me with a smile and said, “But if there were no such rumors, how could so many visitors come to our park?”

I glanced at the poster of the book signing, glanced at the principal, and laughed tacitly.

A

few days later, I could not resist the temptation to sign the labor contract.

After all, I am a migrant worker with a junior high school education and no local registered permanent residence, so it is not easy for me to find a stable job. Which job is not a little dangerous? Anyway, wealth and honor are in danger.

The only thing that made me uncomfortable was the look in the eyes of my colleagues in the personnel department when I was on the job. I can’t say what’s wrong, but I always feel like they’re staring at me behind my back. When I turned to look, they quickly looked away again.

I greeted my new colleagues with a smile. Some of them pretended not to see me, some nodded at me, but the fake smile on their faces made me nervous.

“Maybe I think it’s unlucky that I have something to do with zombies.” I comfort myself. I am not a superstitious person, nor do I look up to those fastidious people. If they don’t want to talk to me, I will ignore them.

Fortunately, Zheng Ge, the administrator of the Zombie Museum, is an open-minded person. He led me to the Zombie Park with a smile and chattered while walking.

It’s a bit of an attraction. No one fed the black dog some time ago. Hey, he lost his temper and hid in the house. The dog house was forced to close for a few days and lost at least several million yuan in ticket money. There were some Italian girls who came here to see the zombies that day. I didn’t watch it. I rolled around here. Finally, the police came and took it away. I have no choice but to open the museum again last week. No one is willing to feed, I dare not feed, you see my beer belly, not necessarily zombies run fast, make the head of the garden himself throw meat every day. Now that you’re here, the head of the kindergarten is free from worry.

I was amused to hear him call a zombie a black dog. Chinese people always like to avoid words that they think are not good. The word “corpse” in “zombie” inevitably reminds people of corpses, so they simply don’t call it that. Back in the personnel department, they all called it “that thing.”. When I

saw a zombie, I thought the term “black dog” was much more appropriate.

Zombie must not take a bath, and certainly no one to help him wash. His face was black and muddy, his clothes were dirty and torn, his bare arms and legs were black and yellow, and he did not know what they were stained with.

It leaned against the stone and stared ahead like a dog enjoying the cool. Behind the glass wall in the distance, tourists are bustling, some laughing, some taking pictures, and some knocking on the glass to make zombies move.

“What are you knocking at? Can that thing hear?” Brother Cheng couldn’t help but complain: There is a video of a black dog chasing people on the screen in the back. It was recorded by the head of the kindergarten carrying raw meat to seduce people, and Dean Sun helped record it. As long as it doesn’t see the flesh, it’s as good as dead. When I was about to ask who President Sun was, Zheng Ge had already pulled me to introduce the various rules of the Zombie Garden. In fact, the rules can be summed up in one:

“Remember to lock the door, and don’t let the zombies get away.”

Zombie park area is not small, but no one, it seems empty, desolate. A tall building in the south of the park is the exhibition hall. The front door of the exhibition hall is not in the park, but for visitors to enter and exit. A glass wall in the pavilion separates visitors from the zombie activity area. There is a doorway behind the zombie activity area. A small area inside the doorway is the zombie rest area.

According to Zheng Ge, if the zombies are not full, they will hide in the rest area and refuse to see people. Perhaps to fully quarantine the campus and the pavilion, there is no back door to the pavilion, only a passage to the zombie rest area. The keeper’s office is embedded in the back wall of the pavilion, and the interior of the pavilion can be seen through a sealed thick glass. In addition to the gate, there is only a single storage warehouse in the huge park behind the exhibition hall. There are two iron gates between the

zombie rest area and the keeper’s office, which are usually locked. When

feeding, open the first door, put the raw meat in, then back out, lock the first door, and open the second door by remote control.

The first door uses a big iron lock, because zombies have crashed the electronic system on the second door, and the electronic lock opens itself. To be on the safe side, the outermost door is safer with the original lock. Just feed it once before you leave

in the evening, and take out the leftover meat in the morning. Come and check the two doors every two hours, and report them as soon as they are broken. It’s no joke. Brother Zheng said more and more seriously, and I quickly nodded repeatedly.

He also explained that the zoo staff refused to approach the zombie park, in case the zombie escaped from the zombie house, no one would find it for a while. If he gets out of the zoo and hurts people outside, no one can afford the consequences.

Second

, this job is much easier than I imagined. Zombies don’t shit or urinate. The floor of the lounge is cleaner than its body. It never needs to be cleaned. At

first, I was worried that the door lock might be broken, so I checked it more than a dozen times a day. Gradually, he relaxed and sat in the office to surf the Internet except for checking in the morning and evening.

I added a fellow-townsman group on QQ. I was poor before, and I was embarrassed to go to every fellow-townsman meeting. After I got my first month’s salary, I suddenly felt like a rich man. Purchased a set of decent clothes, signed up to go to the fellow-townsman association, thinking that it should also expand the network, a person in the field of hard work, always have to make more friends. At the meeting,

the villagers unexpectedly met Xiao Ying, a primary school classmate, who worked as a primary school teacher in the city after graduating from Normal University. I didn’t dare to say that I was raising zombies in the zoo for fear of scaring her. I only said that I was a security guard in the zoo.

She suddenly asked, “I heard that a person disappeared in your zoo last month. Is that true?” Before

I could answer, a man next to me interrupted and said, “It’s true. At that time, it was on the hot search of Weibo. Later, the zoo spent money on public relations and deleted the relevant Weibo.”. But I took a screenshot.

The man, Zhang Jiangong, proudly turned out the pictures saved in his mobile phone. Xiaoying and I looked at the screenshots in his mobile phone together.

The Weibo publisher claimed to have met a zombie keeper named Zhang Tao, who saw the zombie walk out of the zombie park one night. Zhang Tao, who was frightened, escaped from the zoo, met a passing blogger and asked him to help call the police.

Zhang Tao wanted to call the police himself, but he lost his mobile phone on the way to escape, so he had to turn to passers-by for help. The blogger saw that Zhang Tao was too scared to stand steadily at that time, so he kindly called 110 for him and went to the Public Security Bureau with him to make a statement. When

leaving the Public Security Bureau, the blogger wanted to call Zhang Tao to go with him and ask about the details of the zombies, but the police said that Zhang Tao was detained on suspicion of creating social panic. “No one is missing here,” said

Xiao Ying.

Zhang Jiangong said: “This blogger also posted a follow-up. He later went to the zoo to inquire. Zhang Tao is indeed a zombie keeper. He has been raising zombies for nearly a year.”. The blogger later went to the Public Security Bureau to find Zhang Tao, but the police said that he was released after only one day’s detention, after all, it did not cause serious consequences. But after that night, no one at the zoo has heard of Zhang Tao’s whereabouts, and he has moved away from his original residence.

I suddenly remembered that Zheng Ge talked about the closure of the Zombie Museum and felt something was wrong, so he added the man’s WeChat and asked him to send me the picture. Xiaoying asked what the blogger’s name was.

Zhang Jiangong said, “It’s useless for you to go to his Weibo now. It’s all deleted.”. I’m a reporter, and I wanted to do a story on this before, and I went to the blogger, but he was too lazy to pursue this kind of thing. Later, I did some work and found that Zhang Tao was working in the Zombie Research Institute. I have been to the funeral Institute several times, but I have never seen this man. I went to the person in charge and asked for Zhang Tao’s home address, but they wouldn’t tell me. “Why?” Asks

Xiao Ying.

Chang Chien-kung lowered his voice and said mysteriously, “This Chang Tao is a keeper. He sees zombies every day. Even if he sees them escape, why should he be afraid of being like that?”? It’s not like I haven’t seen a zombie. I’ve seen it walking in the zoo. It’s as slow as a turtle. You say that ordinary people are afraid to see zombies running out, even if the keeper is the most familiar with its habits, run away and call the police. But what does it mean that he’s scared like that? Zombies are definitely not just as simple as escaping from the exhibition hall, they must be..

He put his forearm to his mouth and made a biting motion. Xiao Ying gasped. Two more men

came over and interrupted our conversation with a roar of laughter, saying in a loud voice, “Lao Zhang, are you peddling your news again?”? The keeper was bitten by a zombie, mutated in the police station, the police destroyed the body in order to maintain stability, the zoo blocked the news, and the keeper’s family was bribed. I said, “Can’t you reporters make up something new?”

Zhang Jiangong was exposed on the spot and accompanied them to drink with a smile. Xiao Ying turned to me and asked, “Do you think what he said is true?”

“I’ll find out if it’s true or not when I go to work tomorrow, but there’s something strange about the Zombie House.” I suddenly noticed that Xiao Ying’s face was pale with fear. “I don’t think it’s true,” I said quickly. “Otherwise I would have heard about it at the zoo.” When I asked Zheng the next day, his face was full of impatience.

The blogger is just looking for trouble. Do you know why he deleted Weibo? It was his nonsense that provoked the police to issue a notice to clarify the matter. Later, he was afraid of taking responsibility and deleted Weibo. If you go to the police station’s website and search, you can find all the police notices.

I did find the police notice, which said that Zhang Tao found his mobile phone left in the office on his way home that night, and returned to the Zombie Hall to find that an iron gate was damaged. For the sake of safety, he did not look for his mobile phone, but went to ask passers-by to call the police. The blogger was warned by the police and ordered to delete his microblog for spreading false information.

I didn’t believe Zhang Jiangong very much. He was not our fellow-townsman, but he came to the fellow-townsman to eat. Before that, I thought he came to chat with Xiaoying. But looking at the announcement time, it was about the time when Zheng Ge said the museum was closed.

I was surprised and asked Zheng Ge why Zhang Tao resigned and where he went after his resignation. As soon as

Cheng asked, he only said, “People who feed zombies don’t work for a long time. After all, that thing is not like other animals. No matter how you raise it, you have no feelings.”. Most of them left in a year or so, either transferred to other museums in our garden or resigned. Who knows where he’s going. Today’s young people quit their jobs every other day, and their parents don’t necessarily know what they’re doing now.

I did not struggle with this problem, because that afternoon there was a provincial science and technology department director to inspect the zombie hall, I have to hurry to prepare. This is my first experience of leadership inspection, such a big leader, certainly can not show him a mangy dog like zombies. The

director spent a lot of money to make a performance system, and operating this system is my most important job. There is a mechanical arm on the top of the pavilion, which is operated manually. There is a large iron hook at the end of the mechanical arm, which can be moved to the console along the chute on the mechanical arm. I prepared a piece of fresh pork of more than twenty catties, and the blood was dripping.

Just wait for the leader to come, hang the hook on the meat, send back to the end of the mechanical arm, control the mechanical arm to let zombies chase meat to play.

In order not to go wrong, I finished my meal early at noon and waited at the console. Not long after, the head of the kindergarten came in hurriedly and let me demonstrate the operation to ensure that the machine was not out of order. When the

principal left, he asked me to find Zheng Ge and ask him to go to the principal’s office. I looked around and didn’t find it, so I had to go to the principal’s office to explain the situation.

“Why isn’t this Kuan Man here?” The director smiled helplessly, picked up a document bag from the table and gave it to me, saying, “I have to hurry to the city science and technology Bureau. You go to the finance department right away and stamp it, so that Lao Zheng can give it to me before dinner.”

On the way, I couldn’t help but look at the documents inside. It was a contract in quintuplicate. It said, “Major Science and Technology Project: Detection of T-Virus and provention and control Research.” The partners included the provincial science and technology department, the municipal government, the municipal science and technology Bureau, the Zombie Research Institute, and our zoo.

I looked at the amount of money for the project, and I was so scared that I couldn’t earn so much in another 500 years of work. I quickly stuffed the contract back into the document bag for fear that it would be a little stained.

I looked for brother Zheng twice in the afternoon, but I still couldn’t find him, but the second time I met his wife on the way. Mrs. Zheng said he had a sudden appendicitis in the morning and went to the hospital. I was about to ask her who to send the contract to the principal when the mobile phone rang suddenly. Liang Jie, the commentator of

the Zombie Museum, roared on the phone: “Director Tsai is about to enter the museum!”! Where have you been?

I hurriedly ran back to the console of my own park, panting, only to see a large group of leaders and entourage have been surrounded by the high glass wall, listening to Liang Jie tell the story of the zombie.

I quickly hung up the meat and scrambled to operate the console.

I really regret that I didn’t rehearse several times in advance. The mechanical arm hanging meat is very difficult to control, and the operating lever seems to be more than ten times heavier.

Seeing the zombie getting closer and closer to the meat, I gave a hard push. The mechanical arm suddenly shook, the meat suddenly fell, and an empty hook flew out.

Although this project has been performed countless times, considering the cleanliness of the exhibition area, it never really throws meat to zombies.

Far away, I have seen several people looking at the console through the glass wall, including the head of the kindergarten and Sister Liang. I broke out in a cold sweat and stayed in the same place at a loss, knowing that my work was going to be mysterious. More than

twenty pounds of pork smashed the zombie, which drew an exclamation from the leaders. Zombie was obviously surprised by this surprise to go to the head of decay for many years, it sat on the ground, holding the meat for a while.

Sister Liang’s voice came out of the loudspeaker: “The way zombies eat may cause discomfort. Please watch carefully.”

Sure enough, zombies soon began to eat the pork.

It bites a piece of meat like a beast, then shakes its head and tears off the meat.

It chewed in a way I had never seen before, with its lips wide open, its blood spattering between its teeth, and its meat falling to the ground.

He buried himself in eating a few mouthfuls, rubbing his face with blood, and with a mouthful of yellow teeth, it was disgusting and disgusting. Many people on the

opposite side of the video have turned their heads away. Although I look at its black face covered with smelly mud every day, I can’t help but palpitate when I see it so ferocious. The

head of the garden did not know what to say, and the leaders left the exhibition hall laughing. Only then did I recover and return the empty hook and the mechanical arm to their original positions.

Cai director came very coincidentally, after visiting the zombies is the meal point. When I finished my work and realized that the contract had not been given to the head of the kindergarten, the head of the kindergarten had already accompanied a group of people by bus.

Fortunately, I stopped Mrs. Zheng, who was about to get off work. She knew that the leaders had gone to the International Hotel and asked me to take a taxi to give him the document bag when the head of the kindergarten left the toilet. Although the

Fourth

International Hotel is big, I quickly found the banquet hall where they had dinner, because in front of the hall hung a red banner reading “Welcome Director Tsai to come and give guidance.”.

Before I reached the hall door, I saw Director Shen of the Finance Department coming out with red cheeks. When she saw me, she came straight over and put her hand on my shoulder, and there was a smell of alcohol in her mouth and nose. “What’s wrong with you?” I asked when I

saw her staggering in the same place.

“I toasted three tables of wine at one go, and I drank a little too much.”

She collected herself and asked me what I was doing here. When she learned that I had come to deliver the contract, she smiled and said that the head of the kindergarten had asked her to print five more copies and send them with stamps.

She gave me a cell phone number and said, “Call me if you can’t find Master Zheng for this kind of thing in the future. If you wait for you to deliver the contract today, it will be too late.”. Besides, there’s no way the security guard at the gate would let you in. Naturally,

I was very grateful to her, so I helped her walk out.

Then the hall door creaked, and a middle-aged man dressed in elegant clothes came out drunk. He greeted Director Shen, glanced at me with blurred eyes, and asked her, “Your husband?”

“Little Dai, who is new to our unit and who feeds that thing, gave you a performance today.”

“Hello, Dai. Hello.” He seemed to wake up suddenly and took the initiative to shake hands with me.

I was so flattered that I half bowed while shaking hands. When Director

Shen introduced me, I already recognized this middle-aged man. He was President Sun of the Zombie Research Institute. After listening to Zhang Jiangong’s story, I went home and searched the staff list of the Zombie

Research Institute, and naturally I saw the picture of President Sun.

“It’s not easy to keep a black dog. It’s also a bit dangerous. You have to be careful.”

I nodded and thanked him. After a moment’s hesitation, I asked, “Mr. Sun, do you know Master Chang Tao?” Director

Shen asked, “Isn’t that the breeder who left two months ago?”? I know that he has gone to work in our hospital.

It turned out that he had climbed onto the high tree of Premier Sun. I said, “Why did he resign in such a hurry? He couldn’t wait a day.”. You don’t know that Zhao Jie in our personnel department was so angry with this guy that she had to hand over her work for at least a month to give us time to react. As a result, this guy said he would leave that day, and finally our principal was kind enough to let this guy go. According to Sister Chao’s wishes, he should be detained for at least one more month.

Ha ha, young people are in a hurry to do things. Our Institute is still in great need of this kind of talent who can get in touch with black dogs on the front line. If Xiao Dai wants to change his job in the future, we will welcome him!

“Oh, it’s not enough for you to rob one of us. Even the newcomers won’t be spared.” The two of

them were talking and laughing. Director Shen asked me to go back first, because the driver of President Sun just drove the car and could take her home by the way.

I hastened to reel off my words: “Director Sun, can you help me contact Master Zhang Tao? I just came to the zoo, and I don’t understand a lot of things. I want to learn from him.”

“He’s busy at work these days, so I’m afraid it’s not easy for him to find time to see you.” While helping Director Shen into the car, President Sun said, “But you can look for him after work. His home, Shuixie Jiayuan, is a large, upscale residential area. When I mentioned Zhang Tao’s name, the security guard only said that he couldn’t remember the names of so many residents.”.

I had to lie and say that President Sun of the funeral Institute sent me to find him, and the security guard helped me to check in the system. When he pointed to the picture on the computer screen and asked me if it was this person, I remembered that I didn’t know what Zhang Tao looked like at all, so I had to bite the bullet and say yes. The security guard told me the house number and told me to find it myself.

Walking on the road, I felt that a man beside me looked at me several times. When I looked back, it was Zhang Tao. I announced myself, explained the purpose of my visit, and was invited to my home by him. Along

the way, I always felt that his temperament was incompatible with this community. Most of the other people in the

community were ruddy and had not experienced the wind and frost, and even the security guards were somewhat proud of themselves. Zhang Tao bent slightly, his face was very bad, and even his eyes looked at me faintly.

He led me into the living room, sat me on the sofa and went to the toilet by himself. Twenty minutes later, he came out of the toilet with a much better face.

He was a little embarrassed and explained to me that he had a stomachache these days. I was surprised that he rented a house of more than 100 square meters by himself.

“I just bought this.” When he saw the shocked look on my face, he couldn’t help smirking. “The keepers from our zombie house have made a lot of money.”. This is nothing to me. Do you know the one who wrote the book about him living with a zombie? His name is Gong Fei. His house is much bigger than mine.

“Have you made a lot of money?” I tried to hide the greed in my voice and asked, “How did you earn it?”

“You’ll see when you earn it.” He made two cups of tea, pushed one to me, and held the other under his nose. Slowly inhaling the fragrance of the tea, he said leisurely, “Feeding zombies is a dangerous job at first, but they don’t want to do it, but they don’t know that there are many benefits behind it.” When

he talked about “danger,” I suddenly remembered the purpose of looking for him and asked, “Do you know that thing about Weibo, that is, the man said that you were scared by the zombies running out of your cell phone..”

His face suddenly darkened, and the gloom of the first meeting flashed in his eyes. I was a little scared by him, so I didn’t say any more.

He put the teacup back on the table and said, “The man is making it up. I’m not that timid.”

I got the answer, so I changed the subject and talked to him about the whereabouts of the previous keepers. In the eight years

since the zombies entered the museum, there have been six or seven keepers, and he only knows the writer and the two actors, and he also knows them from the Internet. Zhang Tao, like me, is also a migrant worker. In order to earn more money, he became a breeder.

When I asked him what he was doing at the funeral Institute, he hesitated for a while and then said, “It’s just some research projects.”

I asked him how to enter the funeral Institute, he only advised me to concentrate on raising zombies, accumulate some experience, there will be a way to make money in the future. Without waiting for me to ask again, he said he had to get up early the next day and go home. I thought, the secret of making money is not so easy to say. But I am very happy, I can find Xiaoying to tell her the truth, there is no zombie bite keeper this kind of thing.

According to Zhang Tao, my job has a bright future, and I should be happy about it. But I can’t help but remember his dark eyes, and for a long time, I was always a little uneasy.

I thought the principal would criticize me because of the accident of the performance that day, but the principal never mentioned it again, and he was in a very good mood for a while.

Perhaps because of the huge fund from the provincial science and technology department, or because the video of zombies chewing pork was posted on the Internet by someone, it set off a wave of tourists that lasted for more than two months. Foreigners continue to pour in, come to see zombies, and even boost the city’s tourism industry.

At the end of the year, the zoo won two titles of model unit in the whole province and special contribution unit in the whole city, and all employees were given a bonus. At first, under the banner of clarifying Internet rumors,

I asked Xiaoying out for a meal, and then I found other excuses to ask her out several times.

She was smart enough to quickly guess that I wasn’t a security guard from her conversation with me, but she didn’t show any disgust when she learned that I was a zombie keeper. I bought a white jade bracelet for her, and took the opportunity to help her put it on, holding her hand, but she did not refuse.

Zhang Jiangong, the son of a bitch, also wanted to make an appointment with Xiaoying. After being rejected several times, he did not know where to find out about our relationship. He wanted to write an exclusive report on the inside story of zombie breeding through me. I decided to blacklist his WeChat.

This interview with Sun Tzu could not be written, so he simply compiled a report “Shocked!”! Is this how zombies are raised. It says something like “as a cash cow for the zoo, zombies are not respected at all”, “keepers even mix dropping into the food of zombies to lure them to eat for fun”, “the Institute of Funeral Research, as an authoritative institution of zombie research, has not yet been able to determine the sex of zombies”. In the

following time, dozens of reporters blocked the gate of the Zombie Hall every day, asking for an interview with me.

At first, I gave several interviews to clarify this false rumor.

As a result, he was asked, “How can you prove that you have never given a zombie a dropping in the past six months?” There are several reporters asked to personally interview the zombie himself, how to persuade all do not listen. I was

even asked if I had ever sexually assaulted a zombie.

It wasn’t until a reporter asked, “You’ve never had any experience feeding zombies before, and you were hastily appointed as a keeper. Do you think zoos in Western countries would hire people like this?” Unable to hold back my anger,

I asked him, “There is only one zombie in the whole world. Can I take you as a zombie to accumulate experience?”

As a result, on the same day, the major portals appeared “Who would have thought?”? Zombie keeper can’t tell the difference between a zombie and a reporter! This news. A topic of the highest concern also appeared on the

forum: “What do you think of the corruption of the zombie keeper?”. A big V wrote a ten-thousand-word answer, claiming that he knew the top management of the zoo, and described in detail how I pocketed the zombie rations and kept a second wife. At the end of the article, he greeted my eighteen generations of ancestors. I dare not reveal my identity, only dare to reply that it is too extreme, maybe it is not true. I immediately received thousands of rebuttals. In addition to satirizing me as a “primary school student” and “inexperienced,” many people taught me to learn to think independently.

I was exposed by human flesh, and the information was hung in the major forums. I had to change my cell phone number and rent a new house to escape.

During that time, the head of the kindergarten was also busy dealing with all kinds of censorship, including the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Discipline Inspection Commission. Some people

abroad questioned that the “zombie show” was a money-grabbing fraud, and called the “Chinese zombie” and the “American moon landing” the two major deceptions of the century.

As a last resort, I hung a camera on the hook in front of the mechanical arm and broadcast the daily life of zombies eight hours a day. However, there were doubts that the live video was forged. So Zheng Ge had to set up a camera next to the console to broadcast me operating the mechanical arm.

Finally, the provincial government, the provincial science and technology department, and the funeral research Institute came together to suppress the storm. After a week of

live broadcasting, some parents complained that the live broadcasting would frighten children, so the live broadcasting was also stopped.

Just when I thought everything was calm again, something happened that I will never forget. On the morning of

June 6

, the commentator, Sister Liang, called me and said that a group of people had bought more than 100 tickets, saying that they were fans of “funeral culture” and had come specially to see zombies. The other side added an extra 50 thousand sponsorship fee, just want to see a zombie chasing meat show.

Although I am close to Sister Liang, she always calls me and never comes to the back park. In the whole zoo, apart from the director, Zheng Ge and me, there is no fourth person willing to come here.

I’m already familiar with the console, and it’s no problem to perform a temporary performance. In the past, only when the leaders visited, the performance would be opened, but this time the head of the kindergarten gave the young people a special permission to see it.

It’s not because of the 50,000 yuan. To tell the truth, that money is not worth mentioning at all compared to the investment brought by the leader’s visit. It’s just that the head of the kindergarten feels that the “zombie” culture, as a unique thing in our country, should be carried forward among young people. At four o’clock in the

afternoon, more than a hundred young men and girls in their teens and twenties stood in front of the glass wall in identical clothes. The scene was very spectacular.

Liang Jie took out the enthusiasm of the reception leader and enthusiastically explained the living habits of zombies and the growth principle of T virus. I hung pork, delivered iron hooks, and operated the machinery step by step. Suddenly, the gang pulled out a huge banner that read “Defend Freedom and Liberate Zombies.” They took out the hammers, iron bars, bricks, and other things they had hidden in their backpacks and smashed the glass wall with their lives.

Sister Liang knew it was wrong and went up to hold the young man who was closest to her. This action, however, angered the other side, and several young people surrounded her, screaming:

“Why restrict its freedom?”? Are zombies not people?

“It’s disgusting to tease zombies like this!”

“To protect zombies is to protect the future of mankind!”

I just wanted to laugh at first. The glass wall is bulletproof. Machine guns can’t penetrate it. It’s useless for them to smash it until tomorrow morning.

Suddenly I thought: What if these people come to the back? The two iron gates in the back opened as soon as they were broken. Thinking of this, I rushed out to find Zheng Ge and asked him to lock the gate of the park.

Brother Cheng locked the door and said, “Go ahead and have a look. Don’t let them hurt the trabeculae.”

I ran to the exhibition hall and saw Sister Liang fall to the ground. She tried to stand up with her hands, but she couldn’t do it after a few attempts. Several young people around her brandished various tools and continued to shout. “What are you doing?”

I shouted. Quickly squeezed into the crowd to see Liang Jie, her right ankle was swollen so high, and the high-heeled shoes on her left foot did not know where to go. When I tried to help her up, she pointed at her waist and cried, “It hurts!”! Pain!

When the gang saw that Sister Liang was injured, they ignored us and went back to smash the glass.

Only one little girl held up her cell phone and videotaped us, saying, “See, these two zombie abusers have been knocked down by us.”. The bosses gave us a wave of presents, and I showed everyone her broken foot.

“I called the police!” I yelled at her. This is not a threat, I asked Liang Jie to lie on the ground and not move, so as not to hurt her waist twice, and then immediately hit 110 and 120. There

must have been other tourists who had already called the police, and the police arrived in a few minutes.

The first two policemen could not control the situation at all, so they could only protect Sister Liang with me first. When the second batch of seven or eight policemen arrived, they refused to stop and even clashed with the police.

But after the two biggest boys were electrocuted on the ground by batons, more than a hundred people were more rational.

Although the video was still recorded while shouting, “The police have beaten someone,” no one did it again. When a large number of armed police arrived, several people suddenly began to speak foreign languages, claiming that they were foreigners, and asked to leave the scene. Although the rest of the people speak Chinese, they all claim to be ethnic minorities and have special religious beliefs. They do not allow the abuse of zombies in their doctrine.

I don’t know what happened. As soon as 120 arrived, I followed him to the hospital. Liang Jie was not seriously injured. She was sprained in both places. After treatment, she was taken home by her family. After I came out

of the hospital, it was already dark. I remembered that my backpack was still in the office. I happened to pass by the zoo on my way home. If brother Zheng is still here, he can help me open the door and let me take the bag, and the zombies haven’t been fed yet today.

Walking to the zombie park, Zheng Ge’s office has turned off the lights. When I picked up my bag and was about to leave, I found that the gate of the park was not closed.

I guess brother Zheng left the door for me. After all, he didn’t dare to feed the zombies. He probably wanted me to come back and feed them. The

park and the pavilion are out of lights, but the lights in my office are still on.

When I walked to the door of the office and opened the door, I faintly felt a dark shadow beside me.

I turned to look, and by the light of the office window, I saw that both iron doors were open.

Zombie stood outside the first door, less than ten meters away from me, a pair of white eyes staring at me.

Six

“Ah!”

I threw the key in my hand at the zombie’s head, turned around and ran out, screaming without stopping.

Out of the Zombie Park, I quickly closed the door, but the iron lock hanging on the door handle was locked. I don’t have the key, and I don’t have time to call brother Zheng to lock the door. I didn’t

care so much, so I turned around and ran, shouting, “Help!”! The zombies are coming out!

My shouts echoed through the zoo, but no one answered. There are only two old security guards on duty at the gate of the

zoo at night, both of whom are a little deaf. Running a few steps, I suddenly thought: even if I go to the gate to find security is useless, they are a lot of age, can not help but also drag their feet. I turned to look behind me and saw that the zombies were not chasing me. I steadied my mind a little.

I have read the zombie research report written by President Sun, zombies in addition to biting, there is nothing great, strength is the level of ordinary adult men, it can not break open the iron door, will not unlock.

Apart from me, no one would approach the two iron gates, not even brother Zheng. I must have forgotten to lock the door, in case the zombie ran out and hurt someone, I have to bear the main responsibility.

“No, it’s not easy to get married. You can’t lose your job at this time.” I forced to think calmly, looking around, the Monkey Hill near the Zombie Hall was expanded, and the tools were not collected at night. I ran to get a steel bar, grabbed a brick, and gritted my teeth and walked to the Zombie Park.

The night was so quiet that no sound could be heard.

I don’t know if the zombie ran away while I was holding the weapon, or if he was still walking slowly in the park.

I hid outside the gate and looked at the park, but there was no shadow.

Thought: It will not be its own strolling back to it. The park is too dark, I observed for a while to make sure that there are no zombies walking in the park, and then

crept into the gate.

Zombies are hiding behind the gate! As soon as

I stepped through the gate, a shrill howl sounded in my ears. As soon as I turned my head, I saw that

ferocious and horrible face. My body was like an electric shock, my hands and feet were soft, and the brick “clattered

” to the ground. If I hadn’t held the steel

bar reluctantly, I’m afraid I would have collapsed on the ground on the spot.

Zombie stared at me, bared his teeth, turned and walked slowly out of the gate. My

mind went blank and I watched him disappear behind the gate.

I don’t know how long it took for the soft hands and feet to recover.

“I can’t believe it didn’t eat me.” Only then did I realize that my crotch was wet

and I went back to the office in a daze to change my pants.

Zombies also have feelings, right? I think he must know that I give him meat every day,

otherwise he must have bitten me just now. I shivered at the

thought of “meat.” I haven’t fed it yet today. It will go out to eat

people.

I dialed 110, but I hung up immediately. If the police find out I let the zombie go, I’m

done.

Zombie may still be in the zoo, as long as it has not bitten, it can be saved.

I called the concierge first and lied to them that the police had informed them that there was a fugitive, that no one was allowed to go in or out of the gate, and that I was not allowed to go out of the concierge.

Then he called Zheng Ge again, and even called three or four times, but the line was busy. I tried to call the principal, but I didn’t get his number. In a panic,

I dialed Xiao Ying’s cell phone and cried, “Ying, the zombie has run away. I’m finished.”

“Huh?”? What’s wrong? Where are you? Are you all right?

Her voice trembled a little, too.

I knew she was most afraid of hearing about zombies biting people, so she explained that I was not bitten, and then told me what had happened.

Xiaoying asked me to hide in the office and protect myself. She went to the police to save me.

I begged her not to call the police, and in the middle of the conversation, Zheng’s phone suddenly came in. I quickly hung up the phone with Xiaoying and reported to Zheng Ge that the zombie was lost.

“Don’t worry, don’t panic.” He comforted me, “Zombies can’t climb over the wall and run away.”. Hide yourself in the office first, and don’t go out. I’ll take care of this. I’ll come to work right away.

He made me promise again and again to stay in the office and wait for him, then hung up the phone. Brother Zheng’s calm attitude reassured me a lot.

I want to call Xiaoying, but the mobile phone runs out of power and shuts down automatically. I charged it and pressed the power button hard, but the battery was not enough to turn it on. A little calmer, I thought it would be better to lock the office door, lest the zombies

go back and forth.

However, a model pants pocket, just remembered that the key was smashed by me and the zombie was thrown away.

I took the flashlight and went out to look for my keys. I looked back and forth in the vicinity of the iron gate several times,

cold flashlight into the iron gate inside, I found that the key actually through two layers of iron gate,

fell into the zombie lounge.

Knowing that the zombie is no longer inside, but I am now a frightened bird, really dare

not go into its lounge to get the key. After

a moment’s hesitation, I went in, after all, it was too

humiliating to ask someone to help me pick up the key. With a flashlight,

I approached step by step, and after passing the second iron gate, I found that

the zombie rest area was much larger than I had imagined, with empty and dark sides.

I was about to shine my flashlight inside when I heard footsteps

behind me.

I was so frightened that my hair stood on end. Suddenly I turned around and shone my flashlight outside the door, but I saw a woman

‘s figure.

“Dai, what are you doing in there?”

“Director Shen?”

This is an accident, director Shen of the finance department is the third

colleague to walk into the zombie park besides the head of the park and Zheng Ge. I didn’t leave

today to calculate my salary. Just now Master Cheng called to say that something had happened here, so I came to take a look.

I quickly picked up the key, took her into the office and locked the door. I told her that the zombies had escaped and that it was not safe outside.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly petite and weak southern woman didn’t care about zombies at all. She said frankly that she came to the park because she was afraid that I would take things too hard and do silly things. She told me that Zheng Ge had informed the security team to search the zoo. Moreover, Zheng Ge and Director Bao of the Municipal Public Security Bureau are cousins, and they will soon be able to find Director Bao to arrange for the police to help.

Master Cheng told the security team and the police that a chimpanzee had gone missing. If you find a zombie, then everyone is happy, and it doesn’t matter to tell them the truth. If they can’t find it, they just think it’s a lost orangutan, so there won’t be any big trouble.

I began to admire Zheng Ge, a slovenly middle-aged man with a big belly, who was not convinced that he was my boss before.

Director Shen asked me who else I had told about the zombie escape, and I answered truthfully that only Xiaoying was the only one.

She was very strong to pick up my mobile phone to check again, found that the call record is really only these, and then asked me to call Xiaoying again, only said that before the mistake, the escape is an orangutan, not a zombie.

After deceiving Xiaoying, my mind was so confused that I didn’t want to say a word. Director Shen sat silently looking at his mobile phone. We spent two hours in this difficult silence before Zheng Ge appeared in the park.

Not at the zoo. We did a dragnet search, but we couldn’t find anything. But the police checked the fence and the gate, and there was no other trace.

“Could it be hiding somewhere?” I asked with my last hope.

Impossible. The people from the funeral Institute also came and gave us a trick. All of them carried pig’s blood to seduce us. That thing doesn’t have a brain, it doesn’t know how to hide and seek, and it will come out when it smells blood. Brother Zheng explained to me.

“Don’t worry.” Seeing that my face was not right, Director Shen quickly said, “There are so many police here. It will be all right.”. You go home and rest, and leave this to Master Cheng.

Zheng also advised me to go home first, after all, the police have taken over, I stay here is useless. I had to agree with Director Shen to send me home. When

I came out, the police and security guards had already withdrawn. I only saw President Sun talking to a policeman and a young man at the gate. I recognized the young man wearing a hat as Zhang Tao at a glance. I thought to myself: The story that Weibo’s hot search made up on you has come true on me. It hurts to

think that I put the whole city in danger. The best result is that zombies are smashed by trucks when they go out, but what is the probability. In case a zombie bites someone.. In case there’s more than one.. In case it’s someone I know.. In my heart

, I quickly told Director Shen to send me to the faculty dormitory of Xiaoying’s school. Before getting off the bus, she told me not to spill the beans. At three o’clock in the

middle of the night, Xiaoying received a phone call from me. She hurried down to the dormitory building in her pajamas. When she met me, she hugged me and said, “I was scared to death. I thought you were lost.” With a wry smile, she pretended to be nonchalant and said she was making a fuss. Knowing that I had just returned from work, she left me to live in her dormitory. That’s what I was going to do. No matter who the zombies will bite tonight, they must not bite Xiaoying. There is only a half-sized bed in the

dormitory, so we have to sleep in a crowded way.

The first time I held a girl like this, I threw all my troubles out of the sky in an instant. I went to kiss her face, but she greeted me with her lips. My body was hot and dry, but I could still feel her body temperature. Silently, we kissed for a long time. Silently, I gently took off her nightgown. Her breathing became more and more rapid, and I held her tighter and tighter.

Suddenly, my cell phone rang.

“Hello, Sister Shen?”

“Little Dai, I just told the head of the kindergarten that you should go directly to his office in the morning and we’ll discuss the rest of the matter.”

This is the first time I have seen the principal lose his temper. Every time I saw him before, he was always smiling. The

director threw six or seven books in a row and ordered Zheng Ge to close the museum in frustration, claiming that the funeral Institute needed to close its scientific research and stop receiving visitors within two weeks. Director

Shen said cautiously, “Director of the kindergarten, the black dog is lost. The responsibility is not entirely ours. Maybe it has some special powers.”. There is only one

black dog in the world, and no one understands it. We are also crossing the river by feeling the stones. If the

atomic bomb is lost, are the soldiers guarding the warehouse responsible? Not to mention the soldiers, even the commander of the military region must be punished!

“But we didn’t do it on purpose. How serious can punishment be?” The head of

the kindergarten said, “The punishment for getting lost is small.”. Have you thought about it? What if it’s gone? What if it gets squashed by a train, if it falls into a fire and burns, or if it gets torn apart by wild dogs? I

was so surprised that I couldn’t help asking, “Isn’t that a good thing? It can’t hurt anyone.”

“What’s good?” The head of the garden pounded the table and shook out half of the tea in his cup, saying, “I’d rather it killed someone. Once it bites someone, it will be found and caught.”. At the worst, it costs hundreds of thousands of yuan to pay for a human life. I can afford millions.

But if it is gone, we have more than 40 cooperation projects. How can we finish it? The funeral Institute is pointing to this thing to study. The research Institute was disbanded, and hundreds of employees lost their jobs. Do you understand? What about the “funeral culture” industrial street

in the city center? What about the endorsements of foreign game companies and film companies? What about the exhibit at the dog house? Do you know how much this is? Director

Shen patted me on the shoulder and motioned me not to open my mouth again. “Don’t think the worst,” he said. “All the police in the city are out. Maybe

we can catch them in a few days.”. Last time I had a fugitive, I only caught him for a month. I don’t believe that black dogs are more difficult to catch than people. As long as it comes back, nothing else will be a problem. The most urgent thing is not to let the pavilion be closed for too long. After a long time, the popularity and popularity of the pavilion will be greatly affected.

“I know,” said the principal impatiently, “but it will take a month to get it back. What about this month?”.

“Oh, my good principal.”. The black dog is either lying or sitting every day. Who can tell whether it is true or not? We had two keepers before, and then we became special actors.

No way! We can’t let outsiders know about this! It’s okay to pretend to be a dog. Let Lao Cheng go. He’s in charge of the dog house, and he’s familiar with it.

“Master Cheng is so fat. You can’t do that. Black dogs are very thin.”

“I’ll do it.” I said firmly, “I let the zombies go, so I should have come.”

Eight

for the next five days, I have been in the office, I watched the video of zombies recorded before, learning every movement of it, Zheng Ge in the side to give me performance guidance.

On the sixth day, the head of the park came to me and told me that the exhibition hall had been renovated and a secret passage had been built from the zombie rest area, and the other end was connected to Zheng Ge’s office.

He asked me to go to Zheng Ge’s office to make up at six o’clock every morning and to be in place in the zombie exhibition area before eight o’clock. In the evening, after the exhibition hall and the park turn off the lights, they will leave through the secret passage. I worked at least twelve hours a day, including makeup and

exhibition, and the director tripled my salary as compensation.

My human relations were transferred to the finance department, and my things were moved out of the office to make room for the next breeder.

That afternoon and evening, I carefully studied the facial details of the zombies in the video materials, and wrote a summary of more than five thousand words, for fear of making any mistakes in makeup the next day. It is Mrs. Zheng who is

responsible for making up for me. She is the makeup artist of the whole garden. She also came to Zheng Ge’s office early in the morning, and I took out a summary of five thousand words, ready to tell her the details.

She grabbed the pieces of paper, threw them aside, and said with a smile, “How can you know more about makeup than I do?”

It turns out that I think too much. The way to make up is to put on a one-piece bodysuit, shave your hair and put on a hood.

The tights and balaclavas are made of rubber and will cling tightly to the body. Headgear will only expose the eyes, nostrils and mouth, Zheng sister-in-law only need to slightly outline the face and neck, and then give me white contact lenses, makeup will be completed. Before

putting on tights, Mrs. Zheng threw me a piece of adult diapers and asked me to go to the toilet to put them on first.

Seeing that I was puzzled, she laughed again, “You’ve been wearing this dress all day, and you expect to take it off halfway to go to the bathroom?” Now pull it clean first. If you can’t hold it in during the day, then wash it yourself at night. You’ll have to wear it tomorrow anyway. Mrs. Zheng said to me as she tidied up her makeup pen.

Playing zombies is far more painful than I imagined, rubber clothing is very uncomfortable, wearing two days hair follicles began to inflame, I had to Long Johns a layer of autumn clothes inside.

Also, paper diapers can not absorb so much urine, to the afternoon, the Long Johns is wet. In order to wet my pants less, I have to not drink water in the morning. In the

first few days, I always went to Zheng Ge’s office at noon to take off my tights, then wrapped my head and went to the toilet to defecate. Once I was stopped by a security guard and asked why I was masked. Fortunately, Brother Zheng helped me out.

In order not to go wrong, I had to get up at four in the morning to eat and defecate at six in the morning, so that I didn’t have to shit during the day.

Since noon, hunger and thirst have been killing my nerves, and I can only swallow saliva.

Without food and water for a long time, I had no strength to move at all. I could only sit leaning on a stone. After sitting for a long time, my waist was sore, so I lay down.

Tourists sometimes knock on the glass impatiently when they can’t see me lying down, so I have to sit up again. Fortunately, this state of death is very much in line with the temperament of zombies, has not been broken. I can’t leave

until the park is closed at night. At that time, I was too hungry to walk. Like a real zombie, I walked back to the rest area, through the secret passage, took off my makeup and went home.

After dinner, I had to go to bed at eight or nine o’clock, because I was tired and sleepy, and because I had to get up at four o’clock the next morning. There are no holidays for

zombies, and I can only get a little rest on Tuesday afternoon when the museum is closed.

Because I was afraid of making mistakes, I put my mobile phone in Zheng Ge’s office during the day, and every night I could see a lot of messages from Xiaoying.

At the beginning, I said that I was busy with my work, and she could understand. But after I didn’t see her for three weeks, her temper got worse.

In fact, I really want to go out to play with her, but I only have half a day off a week, no matter how determined I am, I can’t get up in bed. I hope the police will find the zombie soon, and I will be free. For

three weeks, every morning I would ask Brother Zheng the same thing: Have you found the zombies?

He always replied, “Not yet, wait a little longer.”.

One day, he said: “Today the new breeder will come, you wait for him to leave in the evening, drag the pork he left you to my office, I will deal with it tomorrow morning.”.

I saw Zheng Ge leading a young man in front of the console, knowing that this was the new breeder. The young man listened to Brother Zheng absentmindedly and kept looking me up and down. I also looked at him, and as soon as I made eye contact, the young man was startled and quickly turned his head

away.

I knew he was scared by my white contact lenses, and I thought it was funny.

After work, the young man carried a piece of pork and put it between the two iron gates.

I watched him nervously open the door, put the meat, and glance at me from time to time, which made me

laugh more and more. As soon as

he put the meat down, I stood up suddenly on purpose. He was so frightened that he

ran out of the iron gate and locked it trembling. After

laughing, I was in a trance and almost cried. The pig

he put for me is at least more than forty pounds. I haven’t eaten all day, and I have a

shit bag hanging on my ass, and I have to drag it to brother Zheng’s office. After

moving the pork, he took off his tights and found that the autumn clothes were all soaked with sweat Long Johns.

The next morning, I asked Zheng Ge to tell the breeder that the zombie’s appetite was not so big, and

that it was enough to eat a few pounds less.

As a result, the boy threw me another fifty pounds of pork that afternoon, and I even suspected that

he was deliberately punishing me. When I complained to brother Zheng again, he blamed me instead.

“Don’t take away all the meat. People think

you have a big appetite when they see you eat all the meat, so they put more for you.” So I didn’t take the pork away for the next few days, and asked Zheng Ge to tell the breeder that the zombies

were holding up and losing weight during this period.

Nine

months down, I lost more than 10 pounds, zombies have not been found.

I thought I would gradually adapt to this state of life, but I became more and more irritable and gloomy

day by day, and even when I called Xiaoying, I couldn’t cheer up.

Xiao Ying has long been aware of the anomaly, repeatedly asked me what happened, what problems encountered,

but I can not say anything. One

day, I couldn’t help it and said to her, “Don’t call me

this time. If you have something to do, leave a message WeChat. I’ll call you back when I’m free.”.

I’ll contact you when I’m not busy. Xiao Ying, who

has always been considerate, suddenly lost her temper and shouted, “Are you going to break up with me?”?

OK! That’s it!

I don’t know why she understood so much, and I didn’t want to think about it. I was so sleepy

that I lay down and slept like a dead pig. When I got up at four in the

morning, I found that there were 23 missed calls on my mobile phone, and I

don’t know how many messages left WeChat:

“Do you really want to break up?”

“Why didn’t you answer the phone?” Good! Divide if you say so!

“Never answer if you dare!”

Good! You have guts!

“I had a hunch for a long time.”

“Don’t think I don’t know.”

“Answer the phone!”

“Tell me clearly!”

“Who is she?”

“Is that Sister Shen?”

“Why did she call you that night?”

“That was my first time!”

“I don’t know why there’s no blood.”

“But it’s really the first time.”

“I’m so blind.”

“What kind of man are you?” I suddenly found that the trust between people was so fragile that I had to leave her a message: “Don’t think about it. I didn’t say break up. It’s just that I’m too tired during this time. I’ll explain to you after this time.”

That morning, I found that the keeper had been playing with the console and making the mechanical arm run around.

At noon, I took the least time for tourists and secretly ran to Zheng Ge’s office from the secret passage to ask him if a leader was coming to inspect. After

getting a positive answer, I asked him to tell the breeder to hang the meat on the hook to practice, and never throw the meat off. I regretted making this suggestion

in the afternoon. Because the breeder has been hanging the meat since lunch and has been practicing operating the console.

In front of so many tourists, I had to hobble after the meat for two hours without stopping.

I stole a glance at the keeper, who seemed to be playing with the console as a game machine.

Fortunately, Liang held a megaphone and said, “Please ask the staff to take a short rest and perform when Governor An visits.” I was finally saved. By the time the

governor watched the performance, I was tired, thirsty and hungry, and on the verge of collapse. Who knows that even after such a long drill, the boy still dropped the chain at the critical moment.

When I chased the pork as slowly as I could, I suddenly found that the pork stopped in place. I thought it was the boy who wanted to show off his operation and tease me, but as he got closer and closer, the pork remained motionless.

I peeked at the console, and the guy was hitting the lever like crazy, and it was obvious that the lever was stuck. In my heart, I

silently cursed the boy to die and prayed that he would get rid of the broken machine quickly. However, my nose soon touched the pork, and I could no longer pretend to be stupid.

Sister Liang’s voice came: “The way zombies eat may cause discomfort. Please watch carefully.”

I spat secretly and scolded the breeder in my heart: “I will scare your excrement and urine out in the evening.”.

Then he held the rotten pork in both hands and forced himself to eat it.

I haven’t learned how to eat zombies, but it’s not hard to imitate. Fortunately, the meat was hanging in the air, so I buried my face in it, tore off a few pieces of meat casually, and pretended to eat it.

But the pungent smell penetrated my nostrils and stimulated my brain all the time. The rancid pork and pig blood flow in the mouth, which soon causes the adverse reaction of vomiting.

I was afraid to spit it out in front of the leader, so I swallowed the sour water in my stomach and accidentally brought down a mouthful of pig blood. The stickiness on the

face, the discomfort of the stomach and the tiredness of the past month are twisted together, blending into sadness and grievance. Snot and tears flowed uncontrollably, mixed with pork and pig blood, and I still dared not stop, biting like crazy.

I faintly heard the head of the kindergarten say, “Leaders, we’ll eat later. Don’t let this stuff spoil your appetite.” Then the leaders laughed and gradually left.

The mechanical arm finally moved again, carrying the piece of pork covered with tears and snot back to the high altitude.

I looked at the dirty meat and knew that my face was no cleaner than it, and that it would be placed between two iron gates at night to make my food.

I lay on my side with my back to the glass wall and vomited all over the floor secretly. After I vomited, I sat on the vomit and didn’t dare to be seen. After

everyone got off work, I almost crawled back to Zheng’s office. I really collapsed and was forced to exercise in a rubber coat all afternoon, leaving sweat along my body and filling my calves. After

taking off the rubber coat, sweat flowed out and trickled all over the floor.

I went to the toilet to wash my face, but the smell of blood in my mouth never went away. Hungry, I couldn’t care so much. I went back to Zheng’s office and ate a box of biscuits. After a little recovery, I went back to the exhibition area and cleaned up my vomit in the dark.

After all, I work in this place every day, and I can’t make it full of sour smell. When I cleaned up the sweat flowing on the floor of Zheng Ge’s office, it was already dark. Coming out of the exhibition hall, I met Sister Liang. She had just accompanied the leaders to drink and went back to the unit to get the house

key.

I asked her tentatively if she noticed anything unusual about today’s zombies. “It’s not a normal thing,”

she replied drunkenly. “Nothing

is different.”. Besides, anyone who looks carefully won’t be able to

find anything strange.

She was so drunk that she nearly fell down when she went out. I helped her to the car to pick her up. On

the way, I heard her complain, “This is just the beginning. There will be three leaders next week.

I’m so busy.” When I heard

that, I felt a little sick. On the way

home, I remembered that I hadn’t brought the zombie’s “rations” to Brother Cheng’s office,

but I was so tired that I didn’t want to go back. I remembered that I hated the boy to death during the day,

but when I was half dead at night, I just wanted to eat my stomach and nothing else.

There were more than a dozen missed calls, all from Xiaoying, and a new wave of WeChat

messages:

“Are you tired of being with me?”

“Do you think I’m not tired?”

“Chang Chien-kung said the keeper wasn’t you. Have you been lying to me?”

“Did you ever love me?” I am really tired, not only physically, but also mentally. Before I went to bed, I made up my mind to talk to the principal. I couldn’t lie any more.

The next morning, I refused to make up. No matter how Mrs. Zheng tried to persuade me, I didn’t listen. When brother Zheng arrived, I told him that I wanted to see the head of the kindergarten and that I would not be a zombie.

Come on, man, we’ve sold all our tickets today. All right, you go down first, and I’ll make an appointment with the principal for you. I’ll let you see him either tonight or tomorrow night. Brother, don’t scare me. If you don’t go down today, our museum will be on the hot search again. When the time comes, I really can’t bear it.

I know Zheng Ge is not in charge after all, do not want to embarrass him, not to mention the day the zombie lost he also helped me. So I still put on my makeup and went on to lie down in my exhibition area. The pig blood I drank

the day before was not clean, and I had a stomachache and diarrhea for a day.

Although I tried my best to endure it, I still pulled it inside the rubber coat. Now that it was already so dirty, I simply broke the pot and had a good time at the end of the day. When I arrived at Zheng’s office

in the evening, I found that the head of the kindergarten was also there. As soon as I tried to take off my rubber coat, they frowned, covered their noses and waved their hands repeatedly. I had to go to the toilet to clean up the dropping during the day, then go to the public bathroom to wash clean, and then come to see the principal again.

I came straight to the point and asked him whether the zombie could be found or not. The head of the kindergarten told me that the zombie had been taken to other places. The city police department knew some criminals who were active in the black market and

found out the whereabouts of the zombies through them. Zombies did not cause casualties, but was soon captured by unidentified people, after several transfers, now only know that has been out of the city, whereabouts unknown.

“So if I can’t find it, I’ll always be a zombie?” I asked angrily. Smiling, the

director patted me on the arm and said, “We can always find it. As long as we know where it is, we can spend money to buy it back. No matter how much the other party offers, we can afford it.”. Be patient. I don’t think it will take much longer.

“It won’t take long. How long?”

I don’t usually speak so aggressively, but this month’s suffering has made me more and more angry. The head of

the kindergarten smiled kindly and said, “Xiao Dai, you can rest assured that the unit can’t let you do this all the time.”. Our park signed a provincial-level scientific research project with Governor An two days ago. You have worked in the Zombie Museum for such a long time, and you have enough experience. President Sun mentioned to me that day and reported you as a core member. This project will be completed in a year’s time, and then you will work as the backbone of scientific research. How about that?

I am full of doubts, if we can not find zombies, what is the use of these scientific research projects? But seeing that the head of the kindergarten was so sure, I thought that he was far-sighted and always saw farther than me, and it was not good to question anything. Besides, I have long hoped to go out and make a lot of money like those breeders before, and now I have the chance to go to the funeral Institute, so I can’t let it go. On the

closing day, although my eyelids kept advising me to go to bed, I still insisted on asking Xiaoying to come out and give her an explanation.

She kept a straight face until I suddenly took out the diamond ring and knelt on one knee, and her anger seemed to dissipate only a little. I don’t know if it’s because of the previous quarrel or because the diamond is not big enough. When I saw that I

hadn’t achieved the desired effect, I had no choice but to beg, “Yinger, you take it first, and I’ll tell you in detail later.”

She gave me a white look and said, “You let me wear it myself?”

I was so overjoyed that I gave her a diamond ring and told her a set of lies I had made up.

I said that I was transferred from the Zombie Museum to the Finance Department last month in order to temporarily leave the front-line work and prepare for next year’s scientific research project. And because there is a lot of work in the early stage of the scientific research project, I will be very busy in the next six months, and I may not be able to meet her several times. But I promise, when I officially go to the funeral Institute, I will start to prepare for marriage. After listening to me,

she asked, “Did you graduate from junior high school to do scientific research?”

“That’s different. I’ve been raising zombies on the front line for so long, and I have more experience than a college student.”

I could tell she didn’t quite believe me. Maybe women are born to be lie detectors for boyfriends. It’s really hard to fool them. But she did not question any more, although the diamond ring is not very high-end, but it is also I saved a year’s money to buy, I believe she can understand my heart.

We had a good chat until we got a call from Director Shen after dinner.

I opened my mouth and called out “Sister Shen,” and Xiao Ying’s face was already not very good. When Director

Shen asked me where I was, he insisted on coming to me immediately and refused to say anything. I didn’t want her to show up, but I couldn’t tell her, so I had to tell her the location of the hotel. When the two of

us walked out of the hotel, we saw Director Shen leaning on an Audi A6 and staring at me with a smile.

Xiao Ying asked coldly, “Are you Sister Shen?”

“Yes, you are Xiao Dai’s fiancee. You are really beautiful.”

This compliment did not make Xiaoying’s sullen face look good. Unaware of the subtle atmosphere, Director Shen turned his head and handed me the car keys with a smile, saying that this was a special car allocated to me by the unit.

I was stupefied, and Xiaoying was even more puzzled. She asked me, “Why did the company give you a car?”

Little Dai is working so hard, so he should have a car. You have to thank me for this. Oh, I suggested it to the principal. “Why are you so kind?” Said

Xiao Ying with a sneer. Seeing that something was wrong with the painting style,

I quickly interrupted and did not let Director Shen say anything more. It’s easy to figure out why the head of the zoo sent me a car. It’s because I became a cash cow in the zoo, but I can’t say that to Xiaoying. And Director Shen likes to get close to everyone he talks to. To catch up with today’s atmosphere, I’m afraid the more he talks, the more trouble he will have.

I said frankly that I couldn’t drive, so I asked Director Shen to drive the car back to the unit. My family lived close to me, so I didn’t need a car. Director

Shen turned to give the car keys to Xiaoying, but she happened not to be able to drive.

“Well, I’ll have to drive you to your house and get your driver’s license as soon as possible.” Then she said to Xiao Ying, “Little sister, you have earned money. The car is still a small matter. Next year, Xiao Dai will be a great scientist in the funeral Institute.”. You have to catch him, and don’t let anyone steal him away.

Xiao Ying pulled down the diamond ring and threw it into Shen’s arms. “I don’t want it any more,” she said. “Go and abduct yours.” And walk away.

Eleven

Xiaoying never answered my phone again, and WeChat I was blacklisted, but I had no energy to save it.

The diarrhea tormented me on and off for a month, and as my body became weaker and weaker, I caught a cold repeatedly after winter. Not only do I have to catch up on sleep when the library closes every week, but I also have to take time to go to the hospital from time to time. Because of the rapid loss of weight, the same doctor saw me a month later and asked me if I had a history of drug abuse.

Years later, the scientific research project is the belief that supports me to persevere.

I often see a bald young man wearing glasses in the exhibition hall. He is a doctoral student brought by President Sun. He comes almost every day to observe the living conditions of zombies as experimental data for his doctoral dissertation.

Seeing that he records so carefully every day, I feel a little embarrassed. After all, I made him fake the data. During

the Spring Festival, I went back to my hometown. Under the care of my mother, I became healthier and gained weight. I once wanted to introduce my mother to the zombie house as my keeper, but I guess she couldn’t bear to see me make money as a zombie every day.

Years later, there was still no news of zombies, and the project did not land. When I asked Zheng Ge, he only said that there was still some preliminary work that had not been implemented, and it would be better after a period of time.

I gradually began to suspect that the principal was lying to me, he just wanted to drag me to continue to make money for him, I even suspected that he did not seriously look for the whereabouts of zombies. Think of those keepers before the scenery, and then look at my fate now, suspicion and jealousy gradually accumulated in the heart, just want to find a chance to vent out.

It was an afternoon when I suddenly saw Xiaoying appear in the exhibition hall, and my joy suddenly rose, and then I saw Zhang Jiangong standing beside her. I

felt as if I had been doused with a bucket of ice water, and my hands and feet trembled with anger. I stared at Zhang Jiangong with two white contact lenses, hoping that the scene would give him nightmares for a few days.

However, Zhang Jiangong didn’t look at me at all. His two thief eyes kept looking at Xiao Ying. When they turned to leave, he actually put his arms around Xiaoying’s waist! I was so angry that I grabbed a piece of gravel and threw it at Zhang Jiangong.

The stone hit the glass wall with a loud noise, which caused a lot of exclamations. Everyone first looked at the place where the stone hit, and then focused their eyes on me.

I ignored their videos and photos, ignored their whispers, and just stared at Zhang Jiangong. Xiao Ying was frightened by my expression and shrank in Zhang Jiangong’s arms. Zhang Jiangong hugged her more tightly. Like a deflated ball,

I sat on the ground with my head down, not daring to let others see tears. On

the second day, I really became a walking corpse and let Mrs. Zheng make up. He had just finished putting on his headgear and makeup, and before he put on his rubber coat, Director Shen suddenly burst in and said, “Stop it. Go to the principal’s office. He’s looking for you, right now!”.

I wrapped my head in my clothes and followed Director Shen to see the principal. As soon as we met, the head of the kindergarten put the computer monitor in front of me and let me watch the headlines.

The headline was “Shocked!”! The intelligence of zombies is beyond human imagination! Yesterday afternoon, the zombies in the Zombie Hall suddenly attacked a young couple. The reason for the attack was not clear.

But the man who was attacked claimed that he himself was the hot news, “Shocked!”! Is this how zombies are raised? The original author, who is also the leader of the zombie rights protection team, believes that zombies can recognize his identity and that throwing stones is a friendly way of communication in zombie culture.

I can’t help sneering after reading it. Zhang Jiangong can really make it up.

The director frowned and said, What are you laughing at? What’s so funny? The mayor called me first thing in the morning, you know, in case.. If someone thinks something is wrong, if someone inspects our park, do you know what will happen?

“I don’t care what happens to you.” As soon as I dropped the clothes wrapped around my head, I pointed to my ferocious zombie face and shouted, “Do you know what happens

when I wear this every day?”? Do you know? Do you know I have to pee and shit in my clothes? Do you know I have to lie on my own vomit? Do you know? Do you know? Do you know Director

Shen came up and pulled my arm, but I threw it away. I continued to roar, “You’re afraid of being discovered. What about me?”? I am afraid of being discovered every day, every hour, every minute! I’m a zombie during the day, and I have to get off work secretly at night, which is worse than zombies. My wife couldn’t reach me. She ran off with a bastard. Do you know? Do you ***ing know? I quit! You tell the mayor to call me, and I’ll tell him the truth, and he’ll shoot me, and you won’t be involved, okay? The

head of the kindergarten was choked by me and could not say a word for a long time. Director

Shen tried to smooth things over by saying, “Head of the kindergarten, it’s really hard for Dai these days, and there are no weekends.” With a smile on his face, the head of

the kindergarten said, “I know all this. Little Dai is not easy. We all see it in our eyes.”. But this job is special, and it’s not easy to find someone to work in shifts with him.

“That..” Director Shen looked at me and asked the head of the kindergarten, “The black dog that was lost in our kindergarten …”

“Oh, that one is already accounted for.” The head of the kindergarten said. When I heard this, I suddenly felt a little regretful for my reckless roar just now.

The head of the kindergarten told me that he had tracked down the location of the zombie. It was sold to a small temple in Thailand, and now it is receiving incense as a reincarnated living Buddha. The small temple has earned a lot of money from it. The head of the kindergarten has asked someone to find a suitable Thai translator to contact the other party. The price negotiation is not a big problem, but it is more troublesome to smuggle back into the country, because smuggling into the country is more difficult than smuggling out of the country.

However, the head of the guarantee, fast is two months, slow is a month, will certainly be able to get the zombies back. With a sigh of

relief, the problem that had troubled me for more than half a year was finally solved properly, and my bitter days were coming to an end. As soon as I was in a good mood, I felt embarrassed and quickly apologized to the head of the kindergarten and Director Shen. The head of

the kindergarten didn’t take it seriously. “You work hard,” he said with a smile. “It’s normal to complain a little. But in the future, you can complain to me, but you can’t take out your anger on tourists. After all, we are a service organization, and tourists are God.

I nodded yes. Director Shen added, “Xiao Dai, our principal is very kind to you. The last special bus was approved by the principal himself.”. Moreover, in the funeral research Institute project, you are the technical core, and the head of the kindergarten specially helped you apply for a policy house.

“Oh, right, right, right. I forgot if you didn’t say anything.” The head of the kindergarten took out a bunch of keys from the drawer of his desk, searched for more than two minutes, took one down and gave it to me, and asked Director Shen to take me to see the house after work. This is one of the talent introduction plans of the municipal government. The technical core of the provincial fund project can be applied for. The ownership of the house belongs to the unit and the right of residence belongs to the individual. After I thanked him

again and again, I followed Director Shen out. As soon as Director Shen poked his head out, he suddenly drew back, closed the door and said to the head of the kindergarten, “Mayor Dong is here. Xiao Dai has his head wrapped. It’s not convenient to go out.” The head of the

kindergarten quickly stood up and pushed the bookcase aside, revealing a secret room. The director lowered his voice and said to me, “Go in quickly!” After I came in, he pushed Director Shen again and said, “You go in too!” When she came in, he pushed the bookcase back to its original position and blocked the door of the secret room.

The secret room was small, with only a bed and a bedside table, so we had to sit on the bed. Director Shen pulled open a drawer under the bedside table, took out two bottles of mineral water and gave me one. I reached into the upper drawer to see what was there. “Don’t move,” said

Shen in a low voice. After a pause, she said to me, “Little Dai, you are an adult, too. You should be more mature in doing things.”. If you have any requests, you can ask the principal or you can ask me. Don’t be passive. I blushed and was speechless.

Outside soon came the sound of greetings, judging from the mutual address, in addition to Mayor Dong, there was also President Sun of the funeral Institute. The head of the

park first made a self-criticism to Mayor Dong, saying that it was a self-criticism, but more blaming the good tourists for making a fuss.

“Director Gong, I just want to ask you a question. Are you really a zombie?”

“Of course it is. We’ve been raising them for nine years, and you’ve seen them yourself a few times. You can’t tell if they’re true or not.”

“Ha ha ha, Mayor Tung, we have been studying this zombie. It can’t be fake. Yes, it can’t be fake.”

I believe you’re true, and so does President Sun, but it’s no use for us to believe you. Director Gong yuan, you have been an advanced unit of zombie culture in our city for eight years, and you know the advantages and disadvantages of it. Since it is true, it must be seen to be true. What do you mean by throwing stones at real things? How do you explain that?

Yes, yes, Mayor Tung, it looks like this. According to our long-term observation, zombies, this thing, this species, it occasionally has this kind of abnormal behavior. In the past few years, there have been similar acts, but in private, this time in public, it is relatively rare. However, according to our research, the zombie, it may still have some intelligence.

“Ah, you see, if you study it, you will have wisdom. That disempowered person has something to say, an intelligent creature.”

“That can’t be called wisdom. Look, Mayor Tung, this zombie is a low-level, even a stress reaction. It can also not be called wisdom.” If it

is not called wisdom, it is not wisdom. President Sun, you are our expert, and your words must be the most accurate.

Yes, yes. It’s really not wisdom. Ha ha ha ha. It’s just a stress reaction. So, our research, ah, means that it has a stress response.

“Do you have a thesis to support it? Do you have a technical report to support it?”

“That is to say, it is a new discovery. We are already in the process of publishing the paper, but it has a time period.”

Then we have to hurry up. We must keep up with our academic work, and it’s best if we can get ahead. Tourists don’t understand these high-tech and technical things. You can’t let the head of the palace garden explain this problem to them. Only when our world-class academic authority speaks, can we convince the public. Even if you get it internationally, you have weight, don’t you? Academic results should be published as soon as possible, and contact should be made as soon as possible. “Right, right, right, as soon as possible, as soon as possible, yes, as soon as possible.”

“Mayor Tung, this Longjing tea was picked yesterday. Please try it.”

Alas, I absolutely admire the way the head of our palace garden makes tea. Ha ha

ha ha!

There was another sound of opening the door, and a man broke in.

“Ah, I said Lao Gong, ah, Mayor Tung is already here.”

Director Pao, it’s just in time. Director Gong has just made tea. What is it with you? There’s a group of people who have lost power

outside, and they’re making a scene again. Lao Zheng has to release something

called a humanoid intelligent creature. Hey, look at the name. My people are all here

. Let’s see what Lao Gong means. Is it to be dealt with now or later?

“Heh heh heh, if there is no excessive behavior, let them make trouble for a while. Freedom of speech

.”

You see, Director Gong has a good temper, and I admire you the most. Just

make trouble and add some popularity. I’m surprised. For a black dog?

“Director Pao, a zombie is a zombie. Don’t give it any names.”

“Right, right. Mayor Tung is right.”

I listened to them drink tea for half an hour, but I didn’t dare to drink a mouthful of water for fear of urinating too much during the day

. When I slipped into the exhibition hall, visitors had been restless for a long time, some shouting to release zombies

, some shouting to let zombies come out quickly to take pictures of him. In the midst of the

noise, I was in a particularly good mood, because my bitter days had finally come to an end.

In the evening, I saw my house, a new house with fine decoration of more than 100 square meters, which made me feel that all the hardships I had suffered this year were worth coming back.

Thirteen

three months later, Zheng Ge told me that tomorrow he would go to the personnel department to change his relationship and go to work in the funeral Institute, because the escaped zombies were finally brought back. I slept soundly

that night and went to the personnel department when I resigned. This time I finally understood their complicated eyes, which were a combination of envy, jealousy and hatred. They know that every zombie breeder makes a lot of money, so they’ve been jealous of me since I started.

I ignored them and walked away. When reporting at the funeral Institute, Zhang Tao received me, and we shared an office.

Because my new house is far away from the zoo and I can’t drive, I have been renting a house. Now I don’t need to go out early and come back late as I did then, so I plan to move into a new house.

The new house is decorated beautifully, and I’m going to buy some high-end furniture, but I don’t have enough money to save. Before I went to work at the zoo, I met some friends when I delivered takeout, but they were generally poor and could not borrow much. My parents farm in the countryside and have no income. After

much hesitation, I opened my mouth to Zhang Tao.

He was very generous and said, “I can lend it to you, but why don’t you ask Premier Sun for help? If you are in this situation, he will certainly try his best to satisfy any request.” I

just came to the research Institute, and I didn’t make any achievements, so I made such a request, and I borrowed a sum of money from him. The income in the funeral Institute was higher than when I dressed up as a zombie, and it didn’t take long to pay off Zhang Tao’s debt.

I invited him to lunch as a token of my gratitude.

After dinner, we passed the zoo, and I suddenly wanted to go to the Zombie House. I’ve been working

here for two years and I’ve never been here as a tourist. Zhang Tao did not object, so we strolled into the garden. It’s just that neither of us thought it would be so hard to get a ticket for the Zombie Hall. We need to book it two days in advance.

Fortunately, Brother Cheng recognized us when he passed by the ticket office. He took us directly into the museum and said enthusiastically, “Why do you buy tickets? They are all our own people.” Inside the

museum, I saw the bald doctor again, recording the data as carefully as ever. I feel a little less guilty, at least the data he records now is true.

Zombies are nothing to see. Anyway, they are either lying or sitting. I just want to experience what it feels like to look at the park from the exhibition area to the back. The keeper fiddled around in front of the console, as if he didn’t understand how to use it.

I turned around and asked Brother Cheng, “Is the keeper new?”

“Yes, this position changes almost once a year. Didn’t you leave in a year?”

“I didn’t resign voluntarily.” I said a self-deprecating sentence, and Zheng Ge looked at each other and smiled, tacitly.

In front of Zhang Tao, we didn’t dare to talk much about this. Zheng answered the phone and left. When I

turned my head, I found Zhang Tao looking at me meaningfully. Sometimes

I don’t like his eyes very much, and I can’t understand them. A

few days later, I suddenly saw an article on the Internet, “What’s wrong with this society”, which recorded the whereabouts of zombies across the country in the past year, and even some non-governmental organizations claimed to have mastered at least one zombie.

The author believes that this phenomenon is a manifestation of moral decay and people’s hearts are not ancient, which can be regarded as a natural disaster. This article has been reprinted a lot, and in some places there are already tutorials such as “Eight Ways to Prevent Zombies” and “How to Make Peaceful Coexistence with Zombies.”. The more

I look at the more frightened, is the zombie lost this year, has the virus spread out?

When I showed the article to Zhang Tao, he was dismissive and said, “I’ve read it for a long time. It’s fake. It’s either cheating money or cheating praise.”

“How do you know?”

He looked at me like a fool for a long time, then curled his lips and said, “Isn’t this nonsense? There is really only one in our city.”

What if it bites someone? The virus will spread. Have you ever played Biochemical Crisis? What if it’s really like that?

He was obviously not interested in what I was saying and said, “I’ve been in the doghouse all the time. Who will bite me?”? If you want to bite, you bite the keeper. Have you ever been bitten? Instead of persuading him,

I drove to the zoo to find Zheng Ge and the director to explain the situation. When I arrived, I found that today was Tuesday, the museum was closed in the afternoon, and the staff left after work. When he

was about to start the car and leave, he saw a thin figure coming out of the exhibition hall, sneaking around.

I was curious, so I didn’t start the car, but watched it quietly. When the man got a little closer, I finally saw his face. Although he had lost a lot of weight, I recognized him.

He is the breeder who just resigned, that is, the young man who raised me for a year.

I know why he came out of the pavilion after everyone got off work, I know why he shaved his head clean, I know why he was sneaking around.

I know, because I’ve been through it. He’s playing a zombie. He’s a cash cow for the zoo now.

The lost zombie was never found!

Fourteen

I was so angry that I called Zheng Ge on the spot and asked him why he lied to me. Zombies had spread the virus outside, but the zoo was here to make money by cheating people with a good conscience. Zheng Ge, who

had always been honest, began to play dumb with me, insisting that the zombies had been recovered and that there was no such thing as cheating money.

The more I listened, the more angry I became, and unconsciously I insulted Zheng’s mother with dirty words.

Zheng Ge is not angry, he asked me to wait in the zoo, he came to open the park, let me check the authenticity of zombies.

After waiting for a while, before Zheng arrived, Director Shen passed by my car and recognized my car at a glance.

She asked me what I was doing, and I told her all about the fake zombies.

She giggled and said, “I know. The black dog is still in the temple in Thailand.”. They won’t sell it no matter how much money we pay. They really regard the black dog as a living Buddha. I tell you, these religious people are very single-minded.

“But there are zombies all over the country..”

“Oh, my handsome boy, do you believe in this?” She opened the car door and got into the car herself. She took out a pile of news from her cell phone and showed it to me. She said, “It’s not just the whole country, it’s all over the world.”. Look at this. The police smashed the fake zombie exhibition gang. These people dare to fake anything for money.

“But now we are also faking …”

We are temporary. We had something real, but we threw it away. In the past, when we had the real thing, the leaders of the whole country had seen it with their own eyes. Who dares to say that we are fake? In the beginning, in order to catch him, the police were all bitten to death. At the time of his funeral, the state funeral standard was covered with the national flag.

She suddenly put away her cell phone, and I accidentally saw her inside the collar, and her cheeks turned red. She was tall and straight, wearing a low-necked coat, so it was easy to see everything at such a close distance. She stretched out her hand to shave my face and said, “Do you really want to see the black dog, or do you want to see Sister Shen?” Although

I do not understand the amorous feelings, but the provocative meaning of this sentence is too strong, that is, pretending not to understand can not be done.

I didn’t know what to say, but she said with a smile, “I know the reason why you broke up with Xiaoying. Come on, have you ever thought about anything?”

To be honest, Director Shen is a rare beauty, but she is married. I really didn’t dare to think much about it before. But now the perfume is like a fragrance, which makes me dizzy, and I don’t know how to refuse a charming beauty at all. There is a lot of space in the back row of the

Audi car. Director Shen has rich experience and really took me to see it.

Maybe brother Zheng came halfway, but I’m not in the mood to check the zombies.

I thought I was an honest man, and although I accepted the temptation of beauty, I didn’t fully believe her story.

I found the zombie forum, which summarizes all the information about zombies. Sister Shen didn’t lie to me at all. People all over the world claim to control zombies. But the information on the Internet is hard to distinguish between true and false, and there are few people who dare to release film and television materials like us.

Until one day, a post suddenly appeared on the forum, and the subject only said one sentence: “Zombies broke out in Thailand, wait for the news.”

Sure enough, only two hours later, there was an explosive news about zombies in the major media and websites: a large-scale T-virus infection occurred in three neighboring villages in Thailand, and the military had to send troops to slaughter all the zombies. Inside the

news video is a sea of fire, groups of zombies bathed in fire, howling out, but halfway down, struggling and roaring on the ground, accompanied by the cries of the crowd, the roar of tanks, the whistling of bullets.

My eyes widened and my hands trembled so that I could hardly grasp the mouse. I kept asking myself, “Aren’t all the people I killed?”?

Zhang Tao entered the office, looked at me, then at the computer screen, and said, “Are you so sentimental?”

I told you so! The zombie virus has spread!

“Oh.” He didn’t care at all. “Just spread it,” he said. “These black dogs can’t even defeat the Thai army, so they can’t run wild in the territory of the People’s Liberation Army.” He couldn’t understand my feelings, so he didn’t talk to him about it.

Sister Shen came to my house from time to time, and I asked her if the outbreak of zombies in Thailand was due to the zombie we lost. In fact, I already knew the answer in my heart. I just wanted her to comfort me, “Don’t think too much about it. If you want to blame the person who stole the black dog to Thailand, you have to blame the temple for not returning it to us.”. If we had handled it earlier, it would have been all right. How could we have caused such a big mess? As she spoke, she began to feel sad and sighed, “Well, I don’t know if there are any black dogs left. We’d better buy one.”

This matter has caused us a lot of trouble. The day after the

news came out, President Sun took several students and technicians to Thailand. Because the funeral Institute is the world’s most authoritative zombie and T virus research Institute, the Thai government would like to ask him to check the epidemic. Before he

left, President Sun and the head of the palace garden held a meeting all night. I guess he wanted President Sun to find a way to communicate with the Thai side and buy a living zombie back. One day after President

Sun left, Zhang Tao suddenly answered a phone call and ran away in a hurry. I ran after him and asked him if he needed help, but he didn’t hear me. The atmosphere of the

whole research Institute seemed to become dignified, and Zhang Tao did not appear in the office for two days. On the morning of the

third day, I saw two technicians running downstairs in isolation suits. I grabbed one and asked, “What’s wrong?”? What’s the matter?

“Sister Liang, the guide of the Zombie Museum, was bitten by a zombie. She just brought it back. It’s quarantine in the basement. Let’s go and have a look.”

My heart sank, and it finally affected the people I knew. I followed them and ran to the elevator. As soon as the elevator opened, Zhang Tao came out. He looked at us in a panic and asked, “What are you doing?”

Technicians explain the purpose, they bring tools, ready to check the target of infection, take blood samples for testing.

Zhang Tao waved his hand and said, “This is a special case. The police won’t let us get close until President Sun comes back to deal with it.”

I followed Zhang Tao back to the office and asked him what the situation was. He told me to leave it alone. It was none of our business. He always has nothing to do with oneself, I am very disgusted with the mentality, I reminded him that we are the staff of the funeral Institute, the world’s top authority on zombie research, T virus provention and control all count on us.

He smiled and said, “Then you go down and check the infected target. Sister Liang is Director Bao’s woman. You see if the two policemen at the door will let you in.”

“Huh?”? Is she the wife of Director Bao? Why didn’t I always know?

I said she was Director Bao’s woman, but I didn’t say she was Director Bao’s wife. What do you know? You’d better not know. When Director Pao got married, Sister Liang wasn’t even born yet, so she could be a fart wife.

I don’t have much interest in the relationship between Liang Jie and Director Bao, but I have to find out how she was bitten. It is reasonable to say that the zombie in the zoo is fake and will not bite people.

I changed into an isolation suit and went to the canteen to volunteer to deliver meals to Sister Liang. The master of the canteen knew that Liang Jie and I used to be colleagues, so he allowed it. I expected that I would talk to Sister Liang through the iron fence, but I didn’t expect that Sister Liang was locked in a single room with a

separate bathroom. The two policemen at the door saw that I was delivering meals and opened the door to let

me in.

Liang Jie’s clothes are very neat, not like the crazy appearance after the virus infection, but

her eyes are red and swollen, obviously crying.

I have read papers that it takes many days for the T-virus to invade the brain, and strong people can even

survive for more than a month after infection.

When I handed her the meal, she recognized me and said lightly, “It’s you.”

“How do you feel?”

“Pretty good.”

I didn’t expect her to be so optimistic and strong, but let me rest assured. As long as she doesn’t

break down, I can ask questions smoothly.

“How did you get bitten?”

“Humph.” “You’re an old stockman yourself,” she said with a sneer. “Don’t you know how

black dogs bite?”

I really don’t know, but I don’t care about it. I wanted to know where the zombie

that bit her was, so I asked, “I mean, where did you get bitten?”

“When I was traveling in Yunnan, I accidentally drank too much.” Was there no one else

around? Have the zombies been caught? Impatient,

she raised her eyebrows and said, “Just tell Dean Sun that I was bitten by accident.”. But I handled it decisively and cut the meat on the spot, and the virus did not spread a little. You can rest assured that I am still the same person as you. Believe it or not, that’s all I have to say.

Seventeen

, she only wanted to convince me that she was not mutated, but she did not answer my questions. In view of her relationship with Director Bao, I can’t ask more questions. Coming out

of the single room, I was worried: if the virus leaked from Thailand and has now affected Yunnan, it basically means that the entire Indochina Peninsula is hard to escape. I even began to worry about the safety of President Sun in Thailand.

Back in the office, Zhang Tao was holding a copy of The Days of Living with Zombies and laughing. When I came in, he laughed and said, Have you read this book? Look at what’s written here. He swept the floor and walked in front, but the zombies couldn’t catch up with him. Ha ha ha ha..

I couldn’t laugh and said to Zhang Tao, “If I told you that I let the zombies go, would you believe it?”

Believe, I will believe whatever you say. You’re a fool, aren’t you? You can’t lie.

“I’m not kidding you!” I was so angry that I stopped talking to him and searched the Internet by myself. Some people on the zombie forum are tracing the source of the Thai zombie T virus, and many people even trace it back to three years ago.

A landlord posted the screenshot of Weibo I saw in Zhang Jiangong’s mobile phone and claimed that it was the source of the original leak of the virus. As soon as

I thought about it, I rushed over and snatched the book from Zhang Tao’s hand. I immediately asked, “You also pretended to be a zombie, when I was a keeper, didn’t you?”

“You finally figured it out. Oh, my God.” Zhang Tao made a grateful expression and said, “I thought you couldn’t figure this out in your life.”. The afternoon you went to my house to find me, you just forced me to eat a lump of raw pork, which made me upset, and I wanted to beat you when I saw you. The day you hit me on the head with the key, my head was broken and wrapped in gauze. I put on a hat to block it, and you looked at me when you left. I thought you knew that at that time.

You. You I blushed and my veins burst, but I didn’t know what to say. Why are

you so excited? I also want to earn some money. I’m from out of town, and I dropped out of school in the second year of junior high school. What can I do?

“Who cares if you make money?” I threw the book in his face and shouted angrily, “You let the zombies run away, you spread the virus, you killed hundreds of people in Thailand, and you killed Sister Liang.”. I always thought I did it. I thought I killed so many people. I thought I was the one who started cheating tourists, cheating the government money, cheating the doctor. For two years, I had nightmares every day, dreaming that the police arrested me, dreaming that the ghost bitten to death by zombies was looking for my life. I almost didn’t make it that year, but you did it, and I took the blame for it.

I roared and roared and cried again. I had been afraid for two years, and once I found myself free of guilt, I had mixed feelings. No

, no, no. If you don’t want to take the blame, don’t put it on me. I’ve never let a black dog go. I’ve never even seen a real black dog. What I raise is.. He picked up

the book and tapped the name of the author on the cover with his fingers, saying, “This is what I raise.” Confused,

I took the book and stared at Gong Fei, murmuring, “Did he let the zombies go?”

“Don’t ask me. I don’t know and I don’t want to know.” He took the book back, looked at it, and said, “I’ve told you everything I know, and I don’t know anything before that.”. It’s none of my business what you think.

“Why are you so irresponsible when human life is at stake?”

“I can’t take this responsibility. I just want to make a lot of money. I don’t want to be an investigator.” He found himself saying three bets and adding, “skr!”

I went back and carefully read the post with the screenshot of Weibo.

The landlord also claimed that her ex-boyfriend was a zombie breeder, and revealed that the ex-boyfriend also had a zombie escape incident during the breeding process, which was later suppressed by the police. Concerned about her ex-boyfriend’s safety,

she rode a bicycle to the zoo in the middle of the night and was stopped outside the gate. A policeman at the gate claimed to be searching for a lost chimpanzee, but she clearly saw that the zoo was empty and dark, and no one was walking.

She couldn’t get in touch with her ex-boyfriend and dared not go far, so she had to wait for more than hour at the gate of the zoo in the middle of the night before she received a phone call from her ex-boyfriend. She believed that her ex-boyfriend had been controlled by the police and was forced to change his voice. Since then

, the ex-boyfriend has drifted away from her and hooked up with the zoo executive.

Eighteen

I want to find out which breeder lost the zombie, but I can’t find the list of all previous breeders. I called Sister Shen, and she promised to help me look for it. After returning from Thailand, President

Sun confirmed that Sister Liang was not infected and asked me to drive Sister Liang back to the zoo and give it to the director.

On the way, a hotel on the side of the road was holding a wedding banquet, and a row of wedding cars were parked on the side of the road, causing a little traffic jam. I glanced at the door of the hotel and found that the names written on the arch were Tang Ying and Zhang Jiangong.

When I slammed on the brake, Sister Liang was startled and asked me what had happened. I pulled over, told her to wait for me for a while, got off and walked to the hotel. A huge wedding photo was set up at the entrance of the

hotel. She was so beautiful in her wedding dress that I didn’t recognize her at once. The man beside her is still so obscene in my eyes when he wears a suit. My brain wanted to turn around and walk away, but my legs were not obedient. One step, two steps, three steps, I entered the hotel.

The bride and groom greeted the guests at the door. When Chang Chien-kung first saw me, he held my hand warmly and burst out laughing. “Even a great scientist would like to come,” he said. “Did Ying-erh ask you to come?”

“No, no, I passed by, passed by..”

“That’s fate, ha ha.” He put his arm around my shoulder and invited me to go inside, saying, “Look who’s here, Yinger.”

Listening to the name once used by himself spit out from his mouth, the heart is like being bitten by a zombie, pain, pain on the numbness.

Xiao Ying smiled when she saw me.

I want her face to sink, I want her to be angry, I want her to scold me, even hit me, cry and spit in my face, but I just don’t want her to smile at me.

But she just smiled at me and said, “Welcome, please go upstairs.”

My mind tried to turn around and walk away, but my legs stubbornly went upstairs. I borrowed a red envelope, wrapped the few bills I had left in it, and gave them to the collector without writing my name. I persuaded my legs back and sneaked out while the bride and groom at the door were not paying attention. I

wasn’t in a hurry to drive, so I sent a WeChat to Sister Shen: “Are you free tonight? Let’s meet.”.

Then she sent Liang Jie to the office of the head of the kindergarten. The head of the kindergarten greeted Liang Jie with a smile and asked her if she had eaten well these days and how she was in good health. He turned around and told me to wait a moment and led Sister Liang out.

I was bored playing with my mobile phone when I received a reply from Sister Shen: “OK, come and pick me up and take me to your home.”

I don’t want to say too much in the WeChat in case her husband sees it. I dialed her phone, but I heard the familiar phone ringing from behind the bookcase. At the

same time, a message came from my mobile phone: “The subscriber you dialed is busy, please dial again later.”

I pushed open the bookcase of the head of the garden to reveal the secret room behind. Sister Shen sat on the bed with her hair disheveled, her face flushed, and she looked at me shyly.

I stared at her with a livid face and did not speak for a long time.

Finally she said softly, “Close it. The principal will be back soon.”

Nineteen

I did not wait for the head of the park, straight away, drove directly to the Public Security Bureau, confessed all the truth: zombies have been lost, the spread of the virus, playing zombies to deceive tourists, cheating scientific research funds.

I don’t know how much responsibility I have, but I know that the head of the kindergarten, Zheng Ge and Director Shen are definitely involved.

Reception police said that this part of the police has been handed over to the zombie management department, which has just been established, and the director is not currently working in the Bureau. Such a big thing, the police can not make a decision, let me wait for a while, he reported to his superiors. Not long after

he went out, two more policemen came in and said that it was a matter of great importance. I am now a tainted witness and need to be transferred first.

They handcuffed me, put a black hood over my head, took me in the car, drove me for a while, took me out of the car, took me into a room and sat me down. My handcuffs aren’t off, but my hood is off.

I know this place. I just picked up Sister Liang from here in the morning. This is the isolation room in the basement of the funeral Institute.

Isn’t it a transfer? How did you get here? I asked the police. They did not answer, but went out and locked the door. With

a sense of foreboding, I ran to the door and shouted, “I have something to say. I know Director Bao. Tell Director Bao to come and see me.”

The door opened and it was Zhang Tao who came in. He didn’t ask me what had happened, but asked me without thinking: “Do you know Bao Xiaolong?”

The name was familiar to me, so I said, “That’s the keeper behind me.”

“Well, that’s him. He is now the director of the zombie management department of the city police department. He will be responsible for all the police affairs about zombies in the future.”

Just him? Imbecile Bao Hsiao-lung?

“Ah, brother Dai, of all the keepers from our house, you’re the worst, and you’re the poorest. Where do you get the confidence to say that others are stupid?”

You are swindling! Harm society! Earn unconscionable money! I turned myself in and waited for the police to come. There were only two policemen

at the door, and they didn’t do anything to me. Who else are you looking for? Director Bao? Don’t you have Sister Liang’s phone number? Call her. She can find Director Pao.

I understood what he meant. In fact, I had understood it just now, but I still had a little fantasy in my mind. I asked, “You know where the black dog went, don’t you?”

You’ve thought of it, but you just don’t want to admit it. There should be quite a few black dogs, but black dogs have never been seen before.

“What about Thailand?” I’m not surprised that the

Thai military has come up with any story. It could have been drug dealers, it could have been the opposition, it could have been the military, but it couldn’t have been zombies.

“Where is Sister Liang?” When

Sister Liang went on a trip to Dali, she drank too much and met a gigolo, who was full of passion. Then Sister Liang spilled the beans. As a woman, her mouth is not strict. Director Pao locked her up for two days to give her a long memory.

I was silent.

Zhang Tao went on to say, “You and I are very much alike. Of all the keepers, we are the only two who are migrant workers.”. When I played zombies for a month, I already knew what the whole thing was. But I can’t say. I have to pretend to be stupid. It’s easy to pretend to be stupid like a zombie, but it’s hard to pretend to be stupid like me. You say you, how many times I have ordered you, but you are really stupid. As long as you can pretend to be stupid, ask them for some benefits from time to time, as much as you can.

I understand, Brother Chang. I just want the money now, and I won’t say anything, okay?

Brother, you are still making a fool of yourself. If you didn’t ask for money today, you would be asking for a meal. If you make such a fuss today and ask for money again, that’s extortion.

That. What shall I do then? I yearn for him to help me. Let me tell you a secret. There was no such thing as a zombie before. But now, our

hospital has developed the T virus, as long as we find someone to plant it for him, the world’s first

zombie will appear. Haven’t you always wanted to get a zombie back for the head of the kindergarten? Congratulations

, you’re going to succeed. From this day on, we are no longer lying. With that,

he opened the door and went out. I saw a group of people standing outside the door wearing a full set of protective suit

, two of them, carrying a thick syringe more than two meters long, half a

meter long needle cold light shining, straight at me.

I woke up with a scream, gasping for breath, feeling the lingering smell of blood in my breath. The cell phone next to

my pillow rang, reminding me that I had to go to the interview for the doctor’s recommendation in two hours.

I was in a trance, but I was sure that everything ahead was just a long dream.

After I washed my face, my mind cleared up a little, and I forgot most

of the things in my dream. When I combed my hair in front of the mirror, I suddenly felt that my dream was too childish.

In broad daylight, where are the zombies?
