The Walking Dead: reborn as Carl

In a few minutes, the steaks were divided.

Carl's portions were small and even.

Each piece is only slightly larger than a thumb.

This is also the reason why Carl strongly asked the Governor to let him cut the steak for "Penny".

The size of the cuts made by the Governor was normal, but Carl felt that he was still not careful enough.

Girls have smaller mouths and smaller appetites, and Penny doesn't really like chewing.

Or even "girls" don't have much patience for delicious food.

So Carl felt that he needed to be more careful and patient to avoid letting "Penny" choke.

Put the knife aside, put the fork on the plate, pick up the plate and walk towards "Penny".

"Penny, it's time to eat." Carl gave a very gentle smile.

"Uh uh…"

"Don't worry, I'll feed you right away." Carl's smile was still gentle, although no one could see it in the dark.

Maybe "Penny" has "unique" eyesight and can see some.

As usual, I patiently fed "Penny" her meals. After all, "Penny" was not very convenient.

After feeding "Penny", he picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of "Penny"'s mouth as usual.

"Good boy."

Indeed, Penny seemed very quiet after the meal. Of course, this quietness was only relative, but it was also precious enough.

Even though Carl was wiping the corners of "Penny"'s mouth with a handkerchief, "Penny" was not too excited and did not struggle at all.

Putting the dinner plate aside and loosening the chain a little, Carl walked with "Penny" in the small space, chatting in a low voice.

Of course, as usual, Carl said, "Penny" listened quietly and patiently.

After an unknown amount of time, Carl felt that Penny had almost digested everything, so he took her back to her place and settled her down.

Carl picked up two plates and the handkerchief he had used to wipe "Penny's" mouth and took them to the bathroom, where he would have to wash them himself.

The bathroom has hot water and detergent.

Um,

Everything is available here. It is very convenient to live with "Penny" here, and Carl has gotten used to it.

After washing the plates and handkerchiefs, I put them next to the sink and looked in the mirror. I looked a little dull and lifeless, and my skin was very pale because I hadn't seen the sun for a long time.

Carl whispered a name in confusion, "Beth?"

Karl was even more confused and a little painful, but Karl didn't think about it anymore, shook his head, took the dinner tray, turned off the lights, and went out.

It is very dark here, and the use of eyes seems to be unnecessary.

Even though he couldn't see anything, Carl no longer needed to walk by holding on to the wall. Carl was so familiar with this place that he didn't need to look.

Putting the dinner plate on the table, Carl walked to "Penny" as usual, patted "Penny" on the shoulder with his right hand, and continued chatting with "Penny".

"Penny" was very quiet, even stopping her usual mumbling, and just listened quietly to Carl's sharing.

Just like a little girl next door, she listens obediently to her big brother telling her stories.

"Penny" can be so quiet and well-behaved, thanks to Carl's persistence.

Maybe "Penny" is a little abnormal, but Carl feels that "she" is still alive, or rather, its body is still alive.

In other words, "she" is still a living being. No matter what kind of living being it is, it is still a living being.

Then as long as it is a living thing, it will have instincts.

For example, the zombies' hunting instinct and their desire for flesh and blood.

In addition to instinct, a more important factor is conditioned reflex, or more commonly, habit.

What Carl needed to do was to influence "Penny's" instincts. It was not very successful, but it was not completely ineffective.

If we add some specific conditioned reflexes, or let "Penny" develop habits and get used to her own existence.

It just takes time, and right now, Carl has no shortage of time.

Carl didn't know how long he stayed with Penny, but when he felt it was enough, he comforted Penny and left.

Carl started jogging by himself in this small space. Although he didn't know why he was running, he just felt that he should run.

Suddenly, Karl was slightly stunned, and a ray of sunlight shone through the crack in the door and fell on the ground.

Carl saw the sunlight.

The door was not closed. The Governor did not close the door!

Carl's body was somewhat out of control, and he walked towards the small wooden door instinctively.

He gripped the door handle with his right hand and opened the door with some trembling.

Suddenly, Karl's eyes closed quickly, and after a pause, I don't know how long it was, Karl opened his eyes slightly.

There was clearly a room outside the door, and the sunlight had clearly been filtered by a layer of windows, but it was still so dazzling to Carl.

Carl raised his right foot, but it remained stiff in mid-air for a long time, until his left foot, which was supporting himself on one foot, could no longer maintain balance.

Carl retracted his right foot and took a last look outside the house. There was no one there, and he seemed to have something in a display cabinet nearby.

But so what?

Karl closed the door tightly without any reluctance and walked inside.

"What's so good about being outside? It's already good enough for me and Penny to live here."

Carl returned to Penny and smiled.

With a stiff smile, a name kept appearing in Karl's mind, but it seemed a little vague.

"Beth, Beth, Beth...""Penny, Penny, Penny."

"Who is this?" Carl tilted his head in confusion, looked at the "Penny" in front of him, reached out his hand and rubbed "Penny"'s head.

Then Karl went to the bathroom again, and Karl suddenly wanted to wash his face with cold water.

After washing his face, Karl didn't rush out this time. He just looked at himself in the mirror, and after a long time, he fixed his eyes on the watch on his wrist.

The name in my mind became clear, and there was only one name.

"Beth!"

Carl murmured in a low voice: "Beth, how could I forget you."

"I'm sorry, but I have to."

"Beth, will you forget me?"

"perhaps..."

"Should I forget you?"

"Damn it!"

Karl shook his head heavily, then walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed blankly.

Until the Governor opened the door again and brought lunch.

This time there was only Carl's portion, and "Penny" only needed to eat twice a day, morning and evening.

This was Carl's suggestion, and he successfully convinced the Governor.

Because "Penny" doesn't like sports very much, even though Carl finally wants "her" to exercise with him for a while.

But "Penny" always acts impatient. How can Carl force "Penny"?

Two steaks a day is the perfect amount for Penny.

The Governor, who had hugged "Penny", didn't say much to Carl. He just took the two breakfast plates and turned away.

"Sir." Carl reminded, "Don't forget to give Penny a bath at night."

The Governor paused and was silent for a long time, "I will."

Then he walked out directly without closing the door.

Carl walked over, endured the sunlight at the door, and called the Governor again: "Sir, remember to close the door next time. You know that Penny doesn't like sunlight."

Then, he closed the door without hesitation.
