When Lu Yu heard the sound, he turned to look at the bedside and found that Zhang Ning, who was originally unconscious, had opened his eyes and was begging for water from them in a feeble voice.
"Xu Xiaoxiao, go get a glass of water." Lu Yu said casually, his eyes still not leaving Zhang Ning.
"Hurry up, sister Xiao Xiao, I'm dying of thirst..." Zhang Ning raised his finger and urged anxiously.
It's not that Zhang Ning's character is so impatient, it's just that when he woke up, he found that there were too many strange things about his body, and the most serious one was his throat that felt like it had been burned by fire. In addition, he also felt... My whole body felt like it was falling apart, painful and itchy.
"Water, water is here." Xu Xiaoxiao moved quickly, and after a while he brought out a small paper cup with half a cup of cold water in it.
Originally, there was still half a glass of water in the cup Lu Yu had at hand, but because this little brother Lu had a slight mysophobia, he quickly rejected the idea of giving his cup to Zhang Ning, and instead chose to send Xu Xiaoxiao. Get a glass of water.
Zhang Ning pushed herself up with difficulty, took the water glass from Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, and glanced at the sturdy girl with gratitude.
"Thank you, sister Xiaoxiao, Gudu..."
In just one sip, all the water in the paper cup was drank. Zhang Ning obviously didn't drink enough. This small half cup of cold white wine was just a drop in the bucket for his throat that was like being burned by fire.
"It's not enough, I still want water..." Zhang Ning seemed very irritated. He crumpled the cup in his hand into a ball of paper and struggled to get out of bed.
Seeing Zhang Ning's actions, Lu Yu, Xiao Ran, and Xu Xiaoxiao subconsciously wanted to step forward to help him, but the same thought suddenly flashed through their minds.
"How long did it take before Zhang Ning was able to struggle out of bed?"
"Previously, he fell from a high altitude without any protective measures, and he only had feeling above his neck."
"How long did they spend talking with Li Zhihao, and in this short time he was able to recover to the point where he was struggling to get out of bed to find water?"
"Besides, isn't his leg broken? Not long after it was reattached, he was able to get off the ground?"
"This unscientific!"
But Zhang Ning looked like he was thirsty for the spring, and he couldn't care so much. He ignored the surprised expressions of the three people and stumbled out of the room.
"Water, I want to drink water!" As if a thought was roaring in Zhang Ning's mind, he frantically ordered him to move towards the water source.
Soon, Zhang Ning came to the faucet in the bathroom, turned on the switch without hesitation, covered the water outlet with his mouth, and began to drink heavily.
Lu Yu and the other three people who were stunned in the room finally came to their senses and rushed out of the room to check. They saw that Zhang Ning had already drank a lot and was sitting on the ground burping with satisfaction.
"Did you drink the tap water?" Lu Yu asked, his eyes full of shock and fear.
"Ah, yes, I'm sorry, Brother Yu, I'm really thirsty, I'm being presumptuous, I'm being presumptuous, hahahaha."
After drinking enough water, Zhang Ning felt much better and his speech returned to normal.
"But this tap water is full of viruses..." Xu Xiaoxiao, who was always slow, also reacted and shouted in horror.
She recalled her experience of drinking tap water because she choked on a compressed biscuit, and then almost turned into a zombie. She couldn't help but move her steps, trying to stay away from Zhang Ning.
"Hi, I'm the protagonist. If you're bitten by a zombie and you're fine, you'll be fine if you drink some tap water with the virus." Zhang Ning looked unconcerned and burped again as he spoke. It looked like he really drank. Full of water.
Lu Yu and Xu Xiaoxiao were speechless for a while. Xiao Ran didn't say anything and looked at the scales on Zhang Ning's neck quietly.
"The scales on your body seem to be a lot lighter than before, and many of them are turning white." Xiao Ran blinked and expressed his findings.
"What the hell, the psoriasis on my body has turned white?" Zhang Ning scratched his head, quickly stood up and stood in front of the mirror, and took off the clothes he was wearing.
The self in the mirror still looks the same as when he came out of the funeral parlor before, except that the scales that originally only grew on his neck have now spread to his chest, but the overall color is no longer the faint black before, but large. Part of it is grayish white, and the few pieces connected to the skin are completely white, and there seem to be signs of falling off.
Zhang Ning tried to pull at one of the completely white scales, but he pulled it off easily.
The piece of flesh that was no longer covered by scales showed a strange purple-red color, like rotten flesh that had been cut off from life, and felt no pain.
Seeing that Zhang Ning wanted to pick at the other whitened scales, Xiao Ran hurriedly stopped him.
"I think you'd better not grab it. This is most likely the reason why you didn't die after falling from a high altitude."
Zhang Ning was stunned, put down his hands that were about to take action, and cast a confused look at Xiaoran.
"I felt something was wrong from the beginning. Why does everything this little loli say sound so reasonable?"
"Oops, has it been seen..." Lu Yu became nervous. Zhang Ning currently doesn't know the fact that Xiao Ran has intelligence that far exceeds that of his peers, and Lu Yu is not ready to tell him. After all, for Lu Yu could never fully trust this guy who fell from the sky and looked like a zombie.
"You and I must have a special relationship! Maybe we knew each other in the previous life! Hahahahahaha." Just as Lu Yu was organizing his words in his mind and preparing to fool this matter, Zhang Ning suddenly laughed and directed at the little boy. Loli squatted down.
"Um...this ability to force the brain to make up..." Lu Yu silently complained in his heart. Since Zhang Ning didn't see what was special about Xiaoran, he didn't need to explain it anymore.
Xiao Ran also seemed to have a strong interest in Zhang Ning. After exchanging glances with Lu Yu, he also acted like a little girl.
"Brother Zhang Ning should take more care of Xiaoran in the future. Xiaoran also likes brother Zhang Ning very much!"
Seeing the cute and sweet little Loli in front of him, Zhang Ning happily touched Xiao Ran's head and agreed to the girl's request.
"By the way, you are 24 years old, right?" Seeing the strange scene in front of him, Lu Yu's mouth twitched slightly.
"Ah, yes, Brother Yu, you must be older than me, you look very mature." Zhang Ning was slightly startled when he heard Lu Yu ask this, but obviously didn't think much about it and answered along with Lu Yu's words.
"I happen to be 27 years old this year." After saying these words, Lu Yu left the bathroom expressionlessly. Although he was calm on the surface, he started to complain wildly in his heart.
"I'm only three years older than him. Why do you call him brother? You call me uncle!"
"Am I that old? What do you mean by looking mature?"
"By the way, that guy named Zhang Ning has a girlfriend, right? I don't even have one!"
Xu Xiaoxiao stood at the door of the bathroom for a while, confirming that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Ning, and felt relieved. He followed Lu Yu back to the living room, and slumped down on the sofa comfortably.
Xu Xiaoxiao also thought about a lot at this time. In today's catastrophic world, it is impossible to survive if you rely only on yourself. If you want to get more chances of survival, you must have friends you can trust. . Although the 'Boss Lu' in front of him looks fierce, he is actually not bad at all towards him.
"Maybe working for him for a while is the best choice at the moment." Xu Xiaoxiao thought of this, and his originally messy heart became much clearer, and his mood gradually became happier. He took advantage of the situation and put his white and thick thighs on He got on the sofa and said to Lu Yu.
"Boss Lu, what should we do next?"
Lu Yu was madly complaining in his heart when he was suddenly interrupted by Xu Xiaoxiao's words. He looked up and saw Xu Xiaoxiao lying on the sofa as comfortably as an octopus, and unconsciously felt a tightness in his chest.
"What else can I do? Just take it one step at a time." Lu Yu took the chocolate on the coffee table, broke off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.
Anyway, he has now reached a cooperative relationship with Li Zhihao and the others. With the friendly attitude he has shown, the other party should not get violent and snatch their food. After all, if they really take action, it is difficult for the other party to guarantee zero casualties.
The smoke bomb he was releasing now was playing into the opponent's hands. As long as Li Zhihao thought that he and others had completely surrendered and there was no threat, Lu Yu would have enough time to plan.
As for the magical immunity potion Li Zhihao mentioned, Lu Yu was not interested at all, because both Xiaoran and Xu Xiaoxiao had already been infected by the virus once, and judging from the current situation, both of them were lucky enough not to become zombies. Instead, he was strengthened after waking up from a coma and became the strengthener Li Zhihao calls him!
This is a powerful trump card for Lu Yu, but this trump card must be carefully hidden in order to achieve unexpected effects at critical moments.
"Strengthen yourself and become a superhuman being..." Lu Yu murmured to himself, repeating Li Zhihao's previous words, and fell into deep thought.
What Li Zhihao said should be true, after all, the examples of Xiaoran and Xu Xiaoxiao are there. After Xiaoran woke up from a coma, his intelligence and memory were greatly improved, and his vision was also greatly enhanced; after Xu Xiaoxiao woke up from a coma, his muscle strength was greatly enhanced, and he even broke the wall of the study room with one punch.
But why didn't any changes appear on my body? It was obvious that he was also infected and fell asleep. Although he was indeed much stronger than before when he woke up, after he punched the wall, all the bulging muscles in his body shrank and returned to their original appearance.
Even weaker than before!
"Is there something wrong with my constitution?"
The more Lu Yu thought about it, the more clueless he became, so he simply cleared his mind and stopped thinking about this problem.
"The first task now is to get more information about ability users from Li Zhihao's mouth, and at the same time, buy time to improve the strength of Xu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran as much as possible."
After a pause, Lu Yu crossed out Xiao Ran's name again in his mind, leaving only Xu Xiaoxiao's name on the list of those whose strength had been improved.
"In the initial stage, force is more important." As Lu Yu said, he cast his eyes on Xu Xiaoxiao on the sofa, and at the same time showed a malicious smile...
