Chapter 42 Jingyuan and Motou

While "Yun'er" was in a daze looking at the photo, Jingyuan pried open the cashier cabinet and pulled out the drawer.

There is an account book inside, recording the supermarket's income and expenditure. This is a privately owned small supermarket, but it only employs employees, and family members take turns to work.

The account book recorded the signatures of two people in turn, Su Laifu and Chen Yiduo.

Not surprisingly, they are the parents of "Yun'er". Her full name should be Su Yun, or Su Yun'er.

But every time Jingyuan calls out "Yun'er" or "Su Yun", she will fall into a strange shutdown state and get stuck in place for a few seconds.

Jingyuan added a small character in front of "Yun'er" and called her Xiao Yun'er. When he called her like this, she would not stop.

Jingyuan felt sympathy for Xiao Yun'er. Before the disaster happened, she was just a young, innocent and cute little girl.

Her family opened a supermarket, her parents loved her very much, and she was at a carefree age.

But her parents, who knows, may have become one of the 30 zombies in the supermarket, or may have died elsewhere. The best case scenario is that they evacuated successfully, but they did not have time to take her away.

She was infected with fungus and mutated into her current immortal state. The strange and ferocious black flower growing on her neck had its roots deeply pierced into her flesh.

Jingyuan doesn't know how her consciousness and thinking ability came about. Maybe it stems from her obsession with living.

The last people she thought about were her parents, so after she became conscious, she found a male and a female zombie to accompany her, acting like her parents, like playing house.

Maybe she didn't understand why she did this, but those fragmented feelings and memories were driving her, making her feel more at ease this way.

She held the photo in her hand and kept her eyes locked on it, as if she was trying to remember.

Involuntarily, Jingyuan became even more sympathetic to her plight.

Jingyuan walked up to her, pointed at the faded adult women and men in the photo and said, "This is your mother, this is your father."

She raised her head and looked at Jingyuan blankly. Suddenly, the vines behind her started waving randomly.

Her mood was a little restless, which was caused by this photo. Jingyuan felt that if she could cry, she might have burst into tears.

She made Jingyuan feel like a child who was left last in kindergarten.

There will always be such an experience. After school, other people’s parents will appear at the door of the classroom, taking their children home from the teacher. You are expecting your parents to show up next, but they never come.

.

Until it gets dark, until the bustling classroom becomes empty, and you are alone, forgotten in the corner, thinking about something they once said, that they said they will not want you if you don't obey again.

The teacher comforted you and said that your parents would come to pick you up soon, but you still cried loudly. Who said you were the child who was not picked up in the end?

That photo seemed to suddenly affect all her emotions, making her anxious, but her eyes were so blank and helpless. She didn't even know why she was so uneasy and anxious.

The vines behind her whipped out like whips, breaking the steel pillars on the shelves, as if a little girl was crying loudly, trying to use her cry to call her parents to come to her.

But your parents, it’s not that they have forgotten you, it’s just that they really can’t hold your hand anymore.

Jingyuan sighed, stretched out his hand, and touched her forehead. If he couldn't understand the language, just use body movements. This was the most primitive way of expression.

Gradually, she settled down.

Her feet stepped on the ground, the vines retracted, and she stretched out a hand to grab Jingyuan.

Jingyuan's right hand that touched her forehead was held by her. Doing so seemed to calm her down. She should have been held by others often before.

The person holding her will take her to eat delicious food, take her to play fun places, and hold her hand tightly to prevent her from getting lost.

Jingyuan tried to take her outside the supermarket, but she held him back. She stopped at the entrance of the supermarket, unwilling to take another step forward.

When Jingyuan's feet stepped away from the shadow under the eaves of the supermarket, she let go of her hand and stopped in place.

Jingyuan tried several ways to get her to take that step, but she refused and refused to come to the outside world.

The emotional fluctuations caused by the photo gradually disappeared, and she turned into that cold look again, using vines to prop up her petite body, lifting her feet off the ground, and retreating into the shadows.

She was like an earthbound spirit imprisoned in a supermarket. She didn't want to leave this collapsed and dilapidated supermarket.

Jingyuan stood in the sunshine, looking at Xiao Yun'er who was hiding behind the crack in the door.

"Why don't you want to leave this place?"

Jing Yuan only received a cold gaze in response.

Helpless, Jingyuan returned to the supermarket, and her eyes softened a little.

She and Jingyuan were very close to each other, barely half a meter away. She took out her yo-yo and started playing again. After playing with it, she handed the ball to Jingyuan.

Jingyuan tossed the ball and showed her some more difficult moves.

She snatched the ball back, and while learning, she wanted Jingyuan to watch her learn.

Jingyuan could feel that Xiao Yun'er was beginning to develop a weak sense of dependence on him, probably because he had just touched her forehead and held her hand to soothe her emotions.

In her eyes, Jingyuan should be upgraded from a "stranger" to a "playmate".

Throughout the morning, Jingyuan played with her.

Not only did she have a yo-yo, Jingyuan also taught her how to make paper airplanes.

The vines behind her were so powerful that they could eject paper airplanes using some very advanced force-generating techniques. Even a simple paper airplane could not even be seen when it was thrown by her.

Jingyuan inspected the shelf steel pipes that she had cut off, and the cuts were as neat and smooth as if they had been cut with a laser sword.

Even comparing her own physical fitness after evolution, Jingyuan did not doubt that she could use those black vines to easily cut herself into pieces.

Therefore, Jingyuan was still very careful when getting along with her, fearing to make her lose her temper.

However, her character is not overbearing at all. Overall, she is a very well-behaved child and will not use vines to force Jingyuan to listen to her.

Of course, it's limited to what Jingyuan sees.

Because she was her kind and not a living creature, she did not show the characteristic of taking the initiative to attack.

Assuming that a living person appeared in front of her, Jingyuan didn't dare to think about that scene. According to what he had observed, including himself, all creatures infected by fungi would crazily crave living things and blood food.

It's not that he craves living creatures and blood food, but the molds, the molds living in the body that crave fresh blood and flesh.

Just like the bacterial tribe in the human gastrointestinal tract, they help human digestion and live in symbiosis with humans, but to some extent, they also control human diet.

You think you want to eat something because you want to eat it. In fact, it’s not because the bacteria in your stomach want to eat it.

Xiao Yuner, presumably, is no exception. The meekness she showed was just meekness in front of Jingyuan.

To be honest, Jingyuan would not let her have a chance to come into contact with Xiaobai, not even to take a look at him.
