Chapter 58
“ . . . Already gathered together . . . ”
Eh? What was that woman mumbling?
Gathered together?
She indeed knew something, even far more than I thought .
Moreover, not only did I notice her, but another person also noticed her .
Li Nai looked at the female zombie and said weirdly .
“Huh? A’ma? Why are you here?”
A’ma . . . Was this woman actually Li Nai’s relative? That was why she had come to pick us up? There still seemed to be something wrong .
“Puff . . . Ah ha ha ha! What kind of decoration is this?! You are actually wearing a roadblock . . . Even zombies wouldn’t do this! Is it because you have overworked too much, which damaged your brain? Oh, wait . You are a zombie . Since you don’t have any virus in your body, how did you get your brain damaged? How strange! Did you steal my pudding and thus got the virus?”
Swish--!
As if a gust of wind blew past me, the female zombie with a roadblock on her head suddenly appeared in front of Li Nai and then hit Li Nai’s abdomen with her fist .
However, Li Nai was not dumb, either . She seemed to have been accustomed to this kind of sudden attacks and quickly crossed both of her arms to protect herself from the hit .
“Whoa! Why did you suddenly hit me! Are you out of your mind?!”
“Shut up! You damn lass! You always make trouble for me!”

The female zombie was even more annoyed owing to her attack in vain, so she swung her fist again and hit Li Nai on her chest .
“Ouch!”
Wow . . . So cruel . I guessed this time she really hit hard for I seemed to hear the sound of bones cracking .
Li Nai even spit out her tongue and saliva . . .
Uh, was this a scene of domestic violence?
The female zombie who was addressed as “A’ma” by Li Nai held Li Nai who was unable to move with just one hand . She covered her mouth which couldn’t be seen at all and said .
“Oh, oh hehe . . . That is really embarrassing . Are you friends of my girl? I am Li Nai’s adoptive mother . You can call me Auntie Qing . ”
“Uh . . . Hello, Auntie Qing . . . ”
“Oops . Good to meet you all, but my daughter doesn’t seem to be awake . Then let me take the role to show you around this city for the silly girl . ”
Oh, my! She wouldn’t have become this if you hadn’t hit her . . .
However, having witnessed how fierce Li Nai’s mother was, we dared not say much but followed her out of the subway .
It turned out that after seeing this City of Living Corpses with my own eyes, I found it was not different from how it looked like above the ground .
If I had to point out one difference, it was probably that most of the residents were the walking dead or zombies in ragged clothes blood stains .

Basically, they all had names and most of their titles had the word “half-awakened”, and only a small portion of them were “awakened” like Li Nai .
Their movements were still quite slow, and some were even crawling and howling .
But beyond that, they unexpectedly lived a quite ordinary life .
Also, they didn’t have the intention of attacking us but would just pause to look at us with curiosity, similar with people who met foreigners on the street or saw a star .
“But why are there basically no tall buildings in this city? Two floors are the maximum . ”
Lan Hua’s question was exactly what I wanted to ask: why were there only bungalows in this city?
“Because it is difficult for zombies to climb up stairs . That’s why there are no tall buildings in the city . ”
Uh, this reason really made people unable to further question . . .
Then Lan Hua continued to point at a building and asked .
“Then why does that building have five floors? What kind of place is it?”
“Oh, that building is a school . The school here is different from yours . It aims to educate those newly awakened ghosts, help them learn how to live in the inner city and exercise their ability to climb stairs . It also offers first-aid course such as ‘How to float to the shore after falling into the water’ and ‘Correct posture to roll on the ground to put out fire’ . ”
A school to cultivate zombies? !
And these courses sounded so stupid!
“Why does the school teach this kind of things . . . Aren’t these common senses?”

“Although these are common senses, they are unknown for newly awakened zombies . ”
“Won’t they be self-conscious after awakening? Couldn’t they recall the memories of their lifetime?”
“Only when they are fully awakened could they recall those memories of their lifetime . If they are only half-awakened, they only have consciousness and couldn’t even speak clearly . They could only use ‘Ah-Language’ to communicate . ”
“Ah-Language?!”
It turned out that these fellows didn’t make that kind of air-leaking howls because they couldn’t close their mouths . As a matter of fact, they were communicating!
“Yeah, haha . I really miss it . Nainai had been using ‘Ah-Language’ before the age of minus three . ”
What the hell was the age of minus three! An age of zombies?
“Excuse me, what on earth is ‘Ah-Language’ . . . ”
Moe Bing also expressed her own doubt . Actually, everyone was curious about this strange language .
“Well, in fact, as long as you can understand ‘Ah-Language’, you can live an easy life in this city?”
“How could I understand that kind of weird language?”
“Actually, it’s very simple . For example, ‘Ah-oh-’ means ‘Good morning’, ‘Uh-oh-ah’ means ‘no’, ‘ha ah~’ means ‘Okay’ . ”
“Oh, it sounds really simple after hearing what you said . . . ”
Like the Morse code, meanings were differentiated by different lengths of a few sounds? In this case, it should not be particularly difficult to master this language .
“‘Ah ah~uh ah . Oh-purr wow . Ah-eh’ means ‘prions that conjugate protein DNAs of bacterial phages’ . ”
“What the hell!”
Damn it! The difficulty was suddenly upgraded by dozens of degrees! !
“Huh? Are you talking about ‘Ah-Language! Actually, I couldn’t use it at first!”
Li Nai, who had been held by Auntie Qing, suddenly raised her head, which startled me .
I didn’t expect her to recover so quickly . Should I say she really lived up to her reputation as a zombie?
“A’ma used to sing me lullabies in ‘Ah-Language’, so I memorized it unconsciously . ”
“Singing lullabies in ‘Ah-Language’ . . . I really want to hear one . ”
I felt it would be hilarious . Anyway, Li Nai surely was unthoughtful for she actually could fall asleep while listening to those lullabies .
“If you say so, I’d like to sing you a lullaby . ”
Suddenly, Auntie Qing said this with a hint of excitement in her tone .
Huh? How did it come to this?
