Seeing that Lu Yu agreed to his request, a sweet smile bloomed on Xiao Ran's face that was about to cry.
Lu Yu sighed and touched the little girl's head. It's not that he hasn't thought about leaving the little girl behind, but leaving the little girl behind in such a catastrophic environment will undoubtedly put her to death. At least he is still somewhat prepared, so he will take care of her first.
"Just think of it as having an extra little sister," Lu Yu comforted himself and opened the locked door.
A strong smell of blood hit his nostrils. Lu Yu had already observed through the peephole before. The door of his house was slightly open, and the body of Xiao Ran's mother was lying on the side in a bloody state, motionless.
Lu Yu huddled beside the door and carefully poked his head out, observing the bloody corpse beside his door.
Xiao Ran was hiding behind Lu Yu, looking curious but not daring to look out.
Lu Yu held the vinegar bottle he took out from the kitchen in his hand and threw it towards the corpse's tilted head.
He wanted to confirm whether Xiaoran's mother had transformed into a corpse, so as to ensure that there would be no accidents when he returned home.
"Bang" The vinegar bottle did not hit the corpse's head, but hit the wall against which the corpse was leaning. Glass shards immediately flew everywhere, but the corpse remained motionless.
Lu Yu waited quietly for a few more minutes and found that the body did not show any signs of transformation. Then he opened the door with confidence and walked quickly towards his home.
Xiao Ran behind him saw Lu Yu suddenly opening the door and walking towards his home, and immediately followed Lu Yu like a follower. But the scene in front of her made her stop suddenly and stand frozen on the spot.
The body leaning against the wall is her mother!
Unable to control her emotions any longer, Xiao Ran cried loudly and wanted to throw herself at the body on the ground, but was stopped by Lu Yu in front of her.
"Your mother is dead. Don't touch her. She may have a virus that will infect you."
Lu Yu held the collar of Xiao Ran's neck with one hand and spoke in an almost cold voice.
He understood Xiaoran's current mood. From a theoretical point of view, the pain of losing a parent would generally make people collapse.
But fortunately, he has no empathy, so he can maintain his emotional stability and make rational judgments to stop Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran kept struggling to break free from Lu Yu's restraints, but how could a 9-year-old girl fight against a 27-year-old 1.8-meter-tall adult.
Even though Lu Yu didn't usually have the habit of exercising, his age and gender advantages allowed him to easily stop Xiao Ran and drag him towards the front door of his house.
The moment he passed the corpse, Lu Yu seemed to catch a glimpse of the corpse trembling slightly from the corner of his eye!
"not good!"
Lu Yu's heart suddenly sounded alarm bells. He was so desperate that he was transformed into a corpse at this time.
It was too late at this moment, but it was faster than before. Lu Yu dodged with a long stride and ran towards the door. At the same time, he used his muscles to pull Xiao Ran over.
Just when Lu Yu was about to turn around and close the door, he suddenly found a bloody hand on Xiao Ran's left ankle!
Xiao Ran was already petrified at this time, and his mother had turned into a monster, pulling her ankle desperately out.
The excruciating pain came from my left leg, and I couldn't move it no matter how hard I tried.
The slightly open door was opened by Lu Yu at this time. Seeing the corpse-turned-Xiao Ran's mother holding Xiao Ran's ankle tightly, Lu Yu was so anxious that he couldn't care less about it and turned around to kick her. On the face of the female corpse.
But the feeling coming from my feet was not a hard object, but a soft ball.
Sure enough, the female corpse's head exploded suddenly after being kicked by Lu Yu.
Black bodily fluids mixed with white brain paste filled the wall. An unpleasant smell suddenly filled the air, and the hands that tightly held the girl's ankles loosened.
As mentioned earlier, in order to test the performance of zombies, Lu Yu had fully protected himself. He wore a thick down jacket and even a helmet on his head.
Therefore, the liquid from the explosion did not directly stain his skin, but Xiao Ran next to him was only wearing thin short sleeves, and the liquid that had just been kicked by Lu Yu directly covered the little girl's body.
"Shut your mouth, don't eat it!"
Lu Yu roared anxiously, not caring whether Xiao Ran complied or not, and violently dragged the girl into the house and closed the door to his house.
After locking the door, Lu Yu turned to look at Xiao Ran who was frightened to death by the filth in front of him. Lu Yu felt impatient.
He can at least confirm now that it is possible to be infected with the virus after being bitten by a zombie, because Xiao Ran's mother was bitten by a zombie with a big back and turned into a corpse.
But after being contaminated with body fluids, will I also become infected?
Lu Yu suddenly lifted Xiao Ran and dragged her to the bathroom.
He wanted to clean up the serum on Xiao Ran's body in the shortest possible time.
Lu Yu roughly took off the little girl's clothes and rinsed the girl's body with a shower. Xiao Ran, on the other hand, stood there blankly, letting Lu Yu do what he wanted.
"Uncle Lu Yu, will I become a monster like my parents..."
Xiaoran suddenly spoke and said expressionlessly.
"No, Xiaoran, you won't turn into a zombie. Just wash it off and you'll be fine..."
Lu Yu was slightly startled, not daring to look into Xiao Ran's eyes. He carefully cleaned Xiao Ran's ankles.
Xiaoran's ankles were very beautiful, as white and delicate as lotus roots, but there were a few scratched blood marks on the fair skin.
"Uncle Lu Yu, I feel so cold." Xiao Ran, who was wrapped in a bath towel by Lu Yu, shuddered and muttered, her petite body trembling slightly.
"It's okay, it's okay. It won't be cold if you cover her with a quilt..." Lu Yu comforted in a panic, carrying Xiao Ran to his bed and covering her tightly with a quilt.
"It's still cold." Xiaoran's face turned blue and her voice trembled. At this time, her eyes were closed tightly, her pretty little face was wrinkled, and her whole body was shaking.
Lu Yu touched Xiao Ran's forehead and found that it was very hot. With a chill in his heart, he remembered what the little girl said before: "Dad is sick, and mom wants to take him to see a doctor..."
"Sickness, could it be the current state of fever." He thought in his mind, "Based on Da Beitou's situation, Xiao Ran is most likely infected with the virus. Should we throw her out the door..."
Finally, Lu Yu couldn't bear to throw the little girl out the door and looked at the little girl who was beginning to lose consciousness.
Lu Yu took the rope and tied all Xiaoran's hands and feet to the bed.
In this way, even if Xiaoran really transforms into a corpse, he can deal with it in advance and avoid any accidents.
If you have a fever, you have to go to the hospital, but going to the hospital now is the same as delivering food to zombies.
"I can only take some antipyretic medicine to get through it first."
Lu Yu muttered to himself, and then thought that the antipyretics at home seemed to have expired long ago. He had not had a fever for a long time, so naturally he would not keep antipyretics at home.
After rummaging through the medicine box for a while, Lu Yu frustratedly confirmed that there was no antipyretic medicine at home.
"Reduce fever, reduce fever, reduce fever." Lu Yu kept repeating it like a chatterbox, feeling depressed.
Just when he was about to give up looking for medicine, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the two large bags of aspirin he had left on the sofa last night.
"Zhang Heng asked me to prepare a large amount of aspirin. Could it be used for..."
Lu Yu's eyes slowly brightened, and a bold idea slowly emerged in his mind.
Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Lu Yu took a bottle of aspirin, came to Xiao Ran's bed, and gave Xiao Ran a dose of aspirin according to a child's dose.
According to his understanding, the main function of aspirin is to reduce inflammation. It is the earliest anti-anti-inflammatory drug and was widely used during the war. It also has a certain antipyretic effect.
Since Zhang Heng asked him to prepare a large amount of aspirin in advance, he must not have missed the target. In this catastrophic world, this medicine will definitely play an important role...
After settling down Xiao Ran, Lu Yu came to the living room, took off his "equipment" and threw it all from the balcony. Turn around and come to the door and observe the situation outside the door through the peephole.
The female corpse whose head was kicked open by Lu Yu like a rotten watermelon was trembling slightly on the ground. Black mucus was constantly pouring out of the fractured neck, and there seemed to be small earthworm-like insects drilling around in the fractured part. , everything seemed terrifying and disgusting.
"Did I see it wrong?" Lu Yu rubbed his eyes and looked carefully again. There were indeed earthworm-like creatures drilling around the broken part of his neck.
"Isn't the source of infection a virus? Is it a parasite?" Lu Yu was full of doubts, but had no way to prove it. He could only silently return to the bathroom and continue the task of collecting water that he had not completed last night.
N City J District, Funeral Home
Zhang Ning suddenly opened his eyes, seeing a blur of whiteness in front of him. He subconsciously wanted to sit up, but found that his whole body was in severe pain, as if he had just been run over by a dozen trucks.
He struggled to raise his right hand and removed the white cloth covering his face.
"Oh my God, what is going on."
Zhang Ning straightened up with difficulty and found that he was lying in a small room with dim lights illuminating the room.
He was naked, with mottled blood on his hands and body. He also had a small sign on his big toe. Without glasses, he couldn't see clearly what was written on it...
"Glasses? By the way, where are my glasses?" Zhang Ning realized that his glasses were missing. He looked around and found himself lying on an iron bed.
It was the kind of small iron bed with wheels that the hospital used to transport patients. His black-rimmed glasses were placed on the table beside him.
Zhang Ning put on his glasses again and looked around. The room was quiet and there was no one else.
He tried to move his body and found that his whole body was sore. After taking off the small sign on his big toe, Zhang Ning could see clearly what was written on it.
Name: Zhang Ning
Sex: Male
Cause of death: Death from hemorrhagic shock
Storage time: 23:04 on May 20, 2021
"Am I fucking dead?" Zhang Ning looked at the sign in his hand in shock and couldn't help but utter a curse word. The small sign in his hand at this time was the corpse sign used to identify the corpse.
"Didn't I watch "Bald 9" with Jiayi last night? After watching it, we took the bus home together, and went home..."
Zhang Ning fell into memories, and the memories in his mind were like paste.
Zhang Ning frowned and tried his best to think. "Then, then I called Old Dog. And then..."
Suddenly, Zhang Ning made a fist with his right hand and lightly tapped on the palm of his left hand, with a look of sudden realization. "I remember! I was fucking bitten by a psycho on the bus!"
When he thought of this, Zhang Ning subconsciously touched his neck. What came from the fingertips was not the soft touch of skin, but a hard feeling like scales.
If you touch it carefully, you can still feel the lines between the scales. I pressed it with my fingernails, feeling a slight pain.
"My old swan, what the hell is going on?" Zhang Ning felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart, forced himself to get off the iron bed, and covered his bare buttocks with the white cloth that had been covered before. Pushed open the door to the room.
The corridor of the funeral home was quiet, without a single sound. Zhang Ning dragged his sore body forward slowly.
"Is there anyone there?" Zhang Ning called tentatively.
But no voice answered him. As he moved, he came to the sink in the toilet. In the mirror of the sink, he saw a scene that made his hair stand on end.
When I look in the mirror, I have a large patch of dark scales growing out of my neck...
