Xu Xiaoxiao's unpacking movements were subtle and unobservable, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. Instead, he quickly unpacked the compressed biscuits and started eating them.
Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao wolfing down the food, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh. She was lucky enough to be protected by Lu Yu. Now Lu Yu looked like he wanted to drive the girl away. He didn't say much, so he just sat back at the dining table. Next to him, he wiped the crossbow in his hand.
Xu Xiaoxiao quickly finished the compressed biscuit in his hand, but because he ate too quickly, he choked and scratched his neck randomly, but neither Lu Yu nor Xiao Ran noticed her actions, and they were all concentrating on what they were doing. own business.
Seeing that Xiao Ran and Lu Yu didn't notice his predicament, Xu Xiaoxiao ran to the kitchen in a hurry, turned on the faucet and drank a lot, finally swallowing the biscuits that he choked on.
But when the girl turned around, she found that Xiao Ran and Lu Yu had stopped what they were doing and were looking at her in horror.
"Well, I was choked, and I didn't see any water, so I had to drink tap water..." Xu Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed, and at the same time, he felt a little aggrieved.
Because she looks sweet and cute, she usually plays a role that everyone loves in school, but now she is so disliked by Lu Yu that he threw her a compressed biscuit like a beggar and told her to finish it quickly. Walk.
When I thought of this, loneliness, hunger, and fear, the negative emotions of the past few days flooded into my heart, and tears began to fall down.
Xu Xiaoxiao wiped away his tears carelessly and tried his best to lower his head. He didn't want Lu Yu and Xiao Ran to see his worthless appearance. At the same time, he opened his legs and walked towards the door.
Others have chased me away, and now that I have finished eating, it is time to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute. Did you drink tap water just now?" Lu Yu asked quickly when he saw the girl reaching out to open the door.
"Yeah, don't you even give me a drink of tap water?" Xu Xiaoxiao trembled when he heard Lu Yu's words. Finally, he couldn't control the grievance in his heart and cried again.
But due to not eating for a long time and the previous severe mood swings, Xu Xiaoxiao cried this time and fainted...
When she woke up again, she found that she had been tied to the bed by Wuhuada, and her hands and feet were all fixed, unable to move.
Lu Yu and Xiao Ran, just like observing guinea pigs, sat beside the bed and stared at her curiously.
"You, what are you doing, why are you tying me up?" Xu Xiaoxiao tried to struggle, but found that the rope was tied very tightly, and he could hardly even turn over.
Suddenly, a bad thought emerged from the girl's mind. Could it be that the words of the man in front of her and the little girl were lying to her? Are they really perverted murderers? Are you going to attack yourself?
Lu Yu did not answer the girl's question, but handed the mercury thermometer in front of the girl, "Look, what's the temperature?"
"Um, 38 degrees..." Xu Xiaoxiao saw the reading on the thermometer clearly, and then he felt that his head was a little dizzy and his whole body felt hot.
"I am, I am infected!" Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the news on TV and screamed as if he had just woken up from a dream.
When Lu Yu saw the reaction of the girl in front of him, he was obviously a little disgusted and frowned slightly, "It seems so, it should be caused by you drinking tap water."
"Now you are about to face two possibilities," Lu Yu opened his palm, and in the palm was a small white pill.
"First, after taking the medicine, you will return to normal and gain certain enhancements, such as increased intelligence." At this point, Lu Yu glanced at Xiao Ran, "Second, after you take the medicine, you will turn into a zombie, and then we will deal with you. ”
"I, I can choose not to eat. Can you please let me go..."
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Yu pitifully and said this answer carefully.
"If you don't eat..." Lu Yu's expression froze, and he seemed to feel a little tight in his chest...
"If you don't eat, you will soon turn into a zombie, and then you will be pushed downstairs by Uncle Lu Yu." Xiao Ran grabbed the topic with a smile, looking like a little devil.
"But it seems that I will be unconscious for a long time after eating..." Lu Yu suddenly remembered Xiaoran's experience of being in a coma for two days and two nights after taking the medicine, and said to himself.
"She has been hungry for so long. Will she starve to death when she is in a coma? How about letting her eat until she is full before taking medicine?" Lu Yu put forward his idea, and the little Loli next to him thought about it for a moment. That made sense, so he got up and walked towards the living room.
After a while, Xiaoran brought chocolates, compressed biscuits and other ready-to-eat foods and piled them beside Xu Xiaoxiao's bed, but he had no intention of letting go of Xu Xiaoxiao.
"Even if you want me to eat, you have to let me go." Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to agree with Lu Yu's idea and said to Xiaoran.
"No, you are too dangerous for us now, we can't let you go easily." Xiao Ran was still smiling.
"What threat can I, a girl, pose to you..." Xu Xiaoxiao muttered softly, seeing Lu Yu getting up. When he came back again, he already had a small mirror in his hand.
Lu Yu moved the mirror in front of Xu Xiaoxiao, and instantly the girl's screams echoed throughout the room.
Xiao Ran silently covered his ears, while Lu Yu looked at Xu Xiaoxiao who was lying on the bed and screaming with disgust.
"My face, why did my face become like this..." Xu Xiaoxiao shouted in horror, his voice broken and hoarse due to excessive excitement, like a crow coming from an old tree at dusk.
In the mirror, his face is no longer the cute and sweet look it used to be. The skin has turned gray, and small black blood vessels spread from the neck to the face like a spider web. The smart eyes are filled with bloodshot eyes, which looks terrifying.
"So you still want us to untie you?" Lu Yu took back the mirror, picked up the chocolate next to the bed and tore it up. Now that he had canned beef, he and Xiao Ran ate the chocolate as snacks. It is not included in the strict food control. In other words, Lu Yu's current food is very sufficient, enough to support Xu Xiaoxiao's experiment.
"I listen to you, I listen to you, as long as you can change me back..." Xu Xiaoxiao cried again. This time she was really scared. When people face the threat of death, they often don't What details of manners are taken into consideration.
"Eat it." Lu Yu brought the torn chocolate to Xu Xiaoxiao's mouth, and the girl ate it quickly.
At this time, she didn't care whether the chocolate or the compressed biscuits would choke her, she just swallowed big mouthfuls, because she understood that her only hope of survival might lie in the hands of these two people beside the bed.
"Cough, cough..." As if he choked after eating too fast, Xu Xiaoxiao stopped swallowing and coughed violently. The saliva mixed with the food residue suddenly sprayed onto Lu Yu's face.
"Damn it, you..." Lu Yu looked horrified and quickly grabbed a piece of clothing from the bedside and wiped his face frantically. At the same time, he kept spitting something like what Xu Xiaoxiao had just sprayed out. Some flew into his mouth.
"Oh, you really killed me..." Lu Yu rubbed it for a while, then his arm suddenly drooped weakly and sighed.
"Get another rope, a thicker one." The man threw the clothes that had rubbed his face out of the window and said to the little loli next to him.
"Did you eat it?" Xiao Ran was startled, and the devilish smile froze on his face, and he asked worriedly.
"It seems so. I'm not sure. It's better to use a rope to be safer." Lu Yu said frustratedly and pouted twice at the same time.
After a while, Xu Xiaoxiao was surprised to find that Lu Yu was also tied up, but only one hand and one foot were tied up, and the other end of the rope was tied to a heavy bookshelf.
After both Lu Yu and Xu Xiaoxiao took adult doses of aspirin, Xiao Ran left the room silently. For a moment, the only ones left in the study were Lu Yu, who was tied to the bookshelf, and Xu Xiaoxiao, who was lying on the bed.
Lu Yu sat cross-legged next to the bookshelf, staring straight at Xu Xiaoxiao on the bed without saying a word.
"Well, the layout of your home is pretty good..." Xu Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed when Lu Yu saw him, and started to find something to say.
"Oh." Lu Yu responded coldly. He had no intention of chatting and continued to look at Xu Xiaoxiao silently.
He was observing the dense spider webs on the girl's face. He remembered that Xiao Ran seemed to have a high fever not long after being scratched by a zombie on her ankle. And when he was cleaning Xiao Ran's body, he clearly heard Xiao Ran say that she felt very cold. .
After that, she was fed a small dose of aspirin. After that, Xiaoran was in a coma for two days and two nights. After waking up, she had a great appetite and improved her intelligence and memory.
However, Xiaoran's face did not seem to be in the same situation as Xu Xiaoxiao at that time - his face was covered with black blood vessels like spider webs.
"Well, why do you think I will turn into a monster when I drink tap water?" Xu Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, and when Lu Yu didn't reply, he asked again.
In fact, she was very curious about what the man on the 29th floor knew about this disaster.
This time, Lu Yu did not give a perfunctory answer, but actually expressed his inner speculation.
Just like in the movie and novel, he felt that the outbreak of this disaster and turning people into zombies should be a virus. But as far as he knows, among all the currently known viruses, there seems to have never been a virus that is so contagious and capable of breaking out overnight.
This looks more like a man-made conspiracy.
Secondly, if the cause of the zombie crisis is a virus, then there must be a way to spread it.
Many viruses can be spread through the air, but Lu Yu had almost zero contact with zombies for so many days after the disaster broke out, and also took care of Xiao Ran who was infected with the virus. If this virus can be spread through the air, it should be necessary under more severe conditions.
Therefore, the second transmission medium that can cause widespread spread of the virus should be tap water, which people cannot live without.
Therefore, since the disaster broke out, Lu Yu has never used raw water to wash the tableware. He has always used boiled mineral water. The tap water is only used for washing clothes.
Therefore, Xu Xiaoxiao's behavior of drinking tap water this time undoubtedly ingested a large amount of zombie viruses, and it is reasonable to cause infection.
After listening to Lu Yu's explanation, Xu Xiaoxiao fell silent again. According to Lu Yu, even if she takes medicine, there is no 100% guarantee that she will be able to return to normal. After all, there was only one successful example before her, Xiao Ran.
Originally, Lu Yu only planned to use her for experiments. If she could fully recover, it would mean that this medicine really had a high probability of curing the virus. But unfortunately, Lu Yu was also infected, so he risked his life this time. The experiment was conducted together with Lu Yu.
Time passed slowly in the silence between the two. Xu Xiaoxiao finally couldn't hold it anymore and his consciousness began to blur. Lu Yu also gradually felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawn.
"It's strange. I obviously took aspirin, not sleeping pills. Why am I so sleepy?" Lu Yu muttered in his heart, but he didn't resist his body's instinct. He put his hands behind his head and just lay on the floor and started kicking. Come to sleep...
