Mr. Zombie lingers in the city

Chapter 2 Nonsense

On the beige sofa, a pair of shapely, long, and flawless legs, freed from the constraints of stockings, were curled up and placed sideways on the sofa.

On the pearl-like, rounded toes, the nails gleam with a moist pink hue, and the toes stretch out from time to time, depending on the owner's mood.

The sound of a filter running could be heard from the kitchen; Gu Xixia knew that Hu Xiaoyu was filtering duck blood.

Drinking duck blood directly is unacceptable to him; Hu Xiaoyu is quite picky when it comes to food.

Given a choice, he would definitely buy free-range chickens and ducks from the countryside, but he doesn't have that choice in the city.

Therefore, the duck blood and chicken blood are filtered multiple times using a filter before being consumed.

The old duck soup was simmering in the pot. Hu Xiaoyu cleaned the duck blood and let it sit before starting to cook for Gu Xixia.

"Come and learn."

"I'm not going."

"If you don't learn now, what will you do after you get married? You can't expect to order takeout every day or wait for your man to cook for you, can you?"

Gu Xixia listened to Hu Xiaoyu's voice in the kitchen, looked down at her shapely and slender legs, and her heavy breasts that made her clothes bulge.

"Am I that bad-looking?"

"Of course it's beautiful, but what does that have to do with you learning to cook?"

"Shouldn't good-looking people receive preferential treatment?"

Doo!

The sound of a cleaver striking a cutting board came from the kitchen, and Hu Xiaoyu entered the living room with a stern face.

He sat down on the low chair opposite her, his fair, bloodless face staring at her expressionlessly.

"Am I that bad-looking?"

"Handsome."

"Then why should I cook? Besides, I'm taller than you...!"

"Because I was the one who arranged for you to get into the school."

"..."

Hu Xiaoyu scratched his forehead and looked at her with a helpless expression.

"Learn from this, what will you do when you get old?"

"Cold salad."

"you...!"

"Hurry up, or the duck blood will congeal before the dish is ready, and you'll have to buy another duck."

Hu Xiaoyu pointed at Gu Xixia with disdain and then got up and went to the kitchen.

A conversation from a romance drama came from the TV. Gu Xixia grabbed the remote and kept slapping her thigh.

They keep saying "elders" all the time, it's so annoying...

At the dining table, Gu Xixia took the rice Hu Xiaoyu handed her and glanced at the scarlet blood in his bowl.

What's the difference between human blood and poultry blood?

"Human blood has relatively more energy. Simply put, it's the difference between eating one serving of blood that provides energy for three days and eating one serving that provides energy for a week."

"No other use? Like helping you evolve or something."

"No, and zombies don't evolve with blood; blood is just the energy needed to maintain their activity."

"What do we need?"

"A large amount of yin energy."

"Yin energy?"

"Hmm, I can't really explain what yin energy is either. Maybe it's a magnetic field? Or some kind of more special energy?"

The food Hu Xiaoyu made wasn't actually that delicious, but it was the taste she wanted.

After all, you can't expect a zombie who can't taste anything and will vomit immediately after touching it to have any precise control over taste.

However, she liked it.

"How long has it been since you drank human blood?"

"About fifty years?"

"Why not drink human blood?"

Hu Xiaoyu picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with green peppers for Gu Xixia, a hint of helplessness appearing in his eyes.

"The energy content is so low that it's not significantly different from poultry blood."

"It's also very risky. Once you're caught hunting on your own, you'll be hunted down like mad dogs by all sorts of forces and organizations."

"Not to mention how cruel human weapons are now, I'm not strong enough to not eat beef."

Gu Xixia picked up the old duck soup and took a sip. "No problem," she said, a satisfied look on her face.

"What level are you capable of right now?"

"After a short flight, the body's strength should be comparable to good steel, the reaction speed is very fast, the perception is very sharp and night vision is possible, that's all."

"Should we find a suitable place to conduct a comprehensive study?"

"Then someone secretly gathered evidence and reported it, and one day he was arrested, locked in a dark room, and dissected?"

Gu Xixia thought about it and realized that the probability was not high, but it did exist.

Watching Hu Xiaoyu finish a large bowl of duck blood in a few gulps, Gu Xixia pulled out a tissue and handed it to him.

"I want to hear the piano."

"Can't you play it yourself?"

"I'm eating."

"Why are you making more and more demands? You were so easy to take care of when you were little."

Gu Xixia remained silent, only biting her chopsticks as she looked at him.

Her long, narrow, and alluring eyes held a pleading and pitiful look, leaving Hu Xiaoyu with no choice but to sigh helplessly.

She sat down at the piano, and the slightly melancholic melody of "In Ordina" entered Gu Xixia's ears.

Looking at Hu Xiaoyu, who was completely absorbed in playing the piano, a hint of helplessness, longing, and melancholy flashed in his narrow eyes behind his glasses.

The food was served to Hong Li in turn. After finishing, Gu Xixia took the plates back to the kitchen to wash them.

When Hu Xiaoyu came out of the kitchen, she had already finished playing the piano and was sitting in front of the computer in the corner of the living room.

"No playing games."

"What's wrong with you? I don't mind you telling me what to do at school, but you're telling me what to do at home too? Are you my elder or what?"

Looking at Hu Xiaoyu's angry expression, Gu Xixia walked to his side and looked down at him.

"I want to hear the song from beginning to end."

"..."

Looking up to meet Gu Xixia's gaze, Hu Xiaoyu sighed, knowing full well how stubborn this girl was.

"Okay, just once, I want to play games now."

"it is good."

I sat down with him on the piano bench. The distance between us was less than a finger's width, and I could even feel his cold aura.

She instinctively leaned on his shoulder.

"Just turn on the air conditioning if you have it. Can't you see I'm playing the piano?"

"The air conditioning isn't as comfortable as yours."

"This little brat has so many demands..."

After finishing the piece, Hu Xiaoyu pushed Gu Xixia aside and went to the computer to start working hard.

As night fell, a sweet female voice came from the speakers.

"Brother, can I have that legendary weapon that just dropped? I'm only missing this weapon to complete my set~~ Please, brother~~"

"A girl? You're not even fit to be an animal!"

Pick up the equipment, exit the dungeon, all in one smooth motion.

Gu Xixia, who was standing behind him with a glass of juice, said she was disgusted, but a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.

"You have absolutely no manners."

"Can gentlemanly manners put food on the table? Can they teach you to cook?"

"cannot."

"What's the point?"

"You'll never find a girlfriend if you keep doing this."

Upon hearing the word "girlfriend," Hu Xiaoyu pursed his lips.

"For zombies, it's hard to distinguish between a girlfriend and food."

"Unable to distinguish between sexual desire and appetite?"

Stretching, Hu Xiaoyu couldn't help but recall some unpleasant memories.

"More or less."

"so..."

After taking a sip of her juice, Gu Xixia spoke again.

"Have you been with many women?"
