"I'll open the door."
Uncle Ni, who had been quietly observing from the side, looked at the busy people, touched his head with few hairs left, and walked towards the door.
"Come, come, is it Teacher Yao?"
No wonder Uncle Ni said this, because all the survivors in this residential building were concentrated on the second floor, and the passages to the outside world had been locked. The only person knocking on the door could be Yao Peiqing.
Sure enough, after Uncle Ni opened the door, Yao Peiqing appeared at the door with a slumped face.
"It's so slow to open the door."
Seeing that it was Uncle Ni who opened the door, Yao Peiqing rolled his eyes angrily. As if he was entering his own home, he pushed past Uncle Ni and strode into the house.
Uncle Ni probably didn't want to argue with this woman, so he stepped forward and closed the door without saying a word.
After entering the house, Yao Peiqing immediately spotted Ma Long lying on the sofa and the people gathered around him, and immediately spoke at the top of his voice.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing there? I saw that all the food on the 29th floor has been emptied. I only moved a little bit. I'll get some more."
As he said that, regardless of everyone's reaction, he picked up a bag of rice beside him, put it on his shoulders, and walked out the door.
Just then, Uncle Ni closed the door and met Yao Peiqing head-on. After snorting, the woman squeezed the old man away again, opened the door and walked away.
"this……"
Uncle Ni was about to say something, but Yao Peiqing walked quickly and disappeared into the corridor.
"Why is this person like this..."
Uncle Ni wrinkled his old face and let out a long sigh.
Malone on the sofa had already passed out from the pain, and everyone was relieved that they no longer had to be distracted to control this strong soldier.
Xiao Ran's debridement work was coming to an end. She was seen holding a sewing needle in her right hand and inserting it back and forth over the wound. In just a cup of tea, she sutured the wound on her leg and then cleaned it with alcohol. After the wound surface is removed, wrap it with clean gauze.
"The wound has been treated. When he wakes up, feed him some antibiotics and some necessary vitamins to increase his resistance. The rest is up to him."
Xiao Ran let out a long breath, and suddenly got out of the tense state of nerves. As soon as he relaxed, a feeling of powerlessness suddenly came over him. The little Loli couldn't help but tilted his body, and there was a faint tendency to fall.
Fortunately, Zhang Ning on the side had quick eyesight and quick hands, and supported Xiao Ran who was losing strength, and carried her to another sofa.
"Then I'll go cook first."
Seeing that everyone had finished treating Ma Long's wounds, Uncle Ni seemed to have put down his heart and wandered towards the kitchen.
It was already approaching dusk, and the sun in the sky was like a dying old man, emitting the last bit of light and heat that belonged to this day.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the city looks like a cute little beast, lying quietly on the earth, waiting for night to fall.
Apart from a few scattered zombies, there are no other creatures to be seen in the streets and alleys.
Everything is quiet and strange, as if the world should be like this.
But even this unnatural silence was broken.
There was a burst of muffled thunder from the distant sky, and the sky suddenly turned from bright to dark. The originally clear sky was filled with thick dark clouds at some point, and lightning flashed between the clouds, indicating a huge storm. Coming soon.
"Hey, why has the sky become so dark? It looks like it's going to rain heavily..."
Uncle Ni, who was cooking in the kitchen, glanced out the window and muttered to himself.
"Why is it raining again? I remember it only rained two days ago..."
Zhang Ning looked at the dim sky outside the window and leaned comfortably on the soft sofa.
"Summer is coming. City N has a subtropical monsoon climate. Typhoons and heavy rains are normal..."
Lu Yu said, choosing a relatively empty seat and sitting down comfortably. The injury on his back was not healed yet, and he could not fully lean on the sofa, so he just leaned sideways and pressed his shoulders against the back of the sofa. .
"Hurry up and eat quickly. This little natural light will be gone soon."
Listening to the thunder outside the window from time to time, Lu Yu frowned slightly and said aloud.
"That's right. There's no electricity now and we can't even turn on the lights. It's better to eat early and go to bed."
Zhang Ning put his legs on the small stool and relaxed his whole body.
Now they just need to wait for Uncle Ni to make dinner and then go to bed to rest, which is the end of this tiring day.
After everyone treated Ma Long's wounds, they had discussed it and thought it would be safer to gather together. Therefore, Yan Hanben and Shao Xiuqi worked hard again to prepare beds for everyone to rest.
The two injured men, Ma Long and Zhang Jike, were naturally assigned to a bedroom. As the owners of the house, Shao Xiuqi and Yan Hanben naturally also had a bedroom to themselves. The remaining study room was assigned to the eldest Uncle Ni.
Four young people, Lu Yu, Xiao Ran, Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Ning, stayed in the living room, sleeping on air mattresses and sofas.
Since Yao Peiqing came to carry a bag of rice, he came back several times, carrying food constantly, but he did not show any intention of living with others, and everyone kept silent in a tacit understanding.
After all, everyone sees what Yao Peiqing does. For such a selfish woman, no one will have a good impression of her, and naturally they will not take the initiative to invite her to live together.
Regarding her behavior of taking food, everyone saw that the owner of the food, Lu Yu, had nothing to say. Naturally, he did not say anything to meddle in her own business. He just let Yao Peiqing take it as he pleased, pretending not to notice.
As the dark clouds continued to gather, the entire sky seemed to be covered by a big pot lid. Although the darkness in the room was not so dark that it was impossible to see, it had already begun to have a certain impact on everyone's sight.
"It's time to eat!"
Finally, amidst everyone's expectations, Uncle Ni walked out of the kitchen with a large pot of steaming beef fried rice.
Although there is a power outage in the community, Yan Shao and his wife use natural gas in their home, so cooking is not a problem.
The fragrant beef fried rice tantalized everyone's taste buds. I have to say that Uncle Ni is indeed very knowledgeable in cooking. The food he made was full of color, flavor and flavor. Everyone who ate it was very happy and praised it.
Soon everyone emptied the large pot of fried rice, not even a grain of rice was left.
Just when we were full of wine and food, there was a thunder outside the window, and then a heavy rainstorm began.
"Oh, this rain is really heavy..."
Zhang Ning, who was leaning against the window, was burping, picking his teeth leisurely, shaking his legs while looking at the rainy scene outside the window, looking very comfortable.
Seeing Zhang Ning looking like he couldn't be more proud of his life than being so comfortable, Lu Yu's mood seemed to improve and he started chatting with this bastard.
"I said, boss, you are not a zombie, why do you like to eat beef fried rice? I saw that you just ate three big bowls without even breathing."
"You're kidding me, I just look a bit like that soldier-level zombie, but I'm still 100% human in nature, and I'm also a high-quality male human."
Zhang Ning put on a stern expression again, changed to a more comfortable posture, crossed her legs and said.
"But one thing you said is right. After becoming like this, I don't like to eat some things..."
Seemingly remembering something, Zhang Ning paused and added.
"Hey, boss, there are still things you don't like to eat. Tell me. Next time I go to collect supplies, I will pick out the things you don't like to eat and move them back."
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, obviously with a bit of joking.
"Coke, ham! I've eaten these two things before and couldn't swallow them."
Zhang Ning rolled his eyes at Lu Yu. His scarlet eyes shone slightly in the dim light, somewhat similar to those of a cat.
"Okay, next time I will pick these things to collect."
Lu Yu chuckled, and the relaxed atmosphere spread from the two of them, infecting everyone, and even gave them a wonderful feeling, a feeling that in the current apocalyptic environment, life is not so bad.
But this feeling was quickly broken.
The reason for this is that Zhang Ning, who was bored, couldn't help but become playful when looking at the heavy rain outside the window, and stretched out his hand to catch the rain outside the window.
But as soon as he came into contact with the rain, he suddenly stood still on the spot. At the same time, his neck was tilted back, his mouth was wide open towards the sky, and his body was trembling slightly, as if what he was touching was not the rain, but the switch. .
At first, Lu Yu thought Zhang Ning was joking with everyone and didn't pay much attention.
But after calling several times, Zhang Ning got no response. Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong, and they all increased their vigilance and quietly retreated.
Only Lu Yu and Xiao Ran frowned and approached Zhang Ning cautiously.
Zhang Ning was seen opening his mouth to the sky and rolling his eyes back. No matter how much Lu Yu and Xiao Ran yelled and slapped him, there was no response. The whole person was like a clay sculpture. Apart from a slight trembling all over his body, there was no other characteristic that could prove that he was a human being. Still alive.
"What's going on?"
Lu Yu looked at the motionless Zhang Ning in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Xiao Ran also blinked his beautiful heterochromatic pupils and looked at Zhang Ning in front of him curiously.
At this time, both Ma Long and Zhang Jike were unconscious. Otherwise, you should be able to get some information by asking these two soldiers.
"Looking at him, it seems like he wants to pick up something with his mouth..."
After observing for a while, Xiao Ran whispered to Lu Yu.
Although Zhang Ning has gained everyone's trust and everyone tries their best to ignore his terrifying appearance, in the final analysis, his physical features that resemble a soldier-level zombie still make everyone afraid to completely rest assured.
"How about? Let him drink some rainwater?"
Lu Yu followed Xiao Ran's words and speculated that Zhang Ning's appearance really looked like he was about to catch the rainwater with his mouth.
"Tie him up first."
Xiaoran nodded slightly, agreeing with Lu Yu's proposal.
Everyone quickly got the rope and tried to drag Zhang Ning back into the house and tie him up. However, not long after Zhang Ning left the window, he regained consciousness and looked at everyone strangely.
"What do you want to do? If you are interested in this handsome guy's body, you can just say it. Why use force?"
"Have you regained consciousness?"
Xu Xiaoxiao's face was full of surprise, and he covered his mouth and said.
"Regain consciousness. I have always been conscious. I am not watching the rain by the window. You will tie me up in the next second..."
Zhang Ning was also full of questions, looking like a monk Zhang Er was confused.
Seeing Zhang Ning regaining consciousness, everyone stopped what they were doing and all cast curious glances at him.
"Is there something seriously wrong with you?"
The atmosphere became awkward for a while, until Lu Yu opened his mouth to break the silence.
"What, what happened to me?"
Zhang Ning's expression became more and more confused when Lu Yu said this. When he saw everyone looking at him like they were animals, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"When you came into contact with the rain just now, you felt like you were having an epileptic seizure. You kept convulsing by the window, and you even opened your mouth to catch the rain..."
Xu Xiaoxiao explained in time and answered Zhang Ning's questions.
But Zhang Ning didn't seem to react. He still looked confused and stared at Xu Xiaoxiao blankly.
The expression on his face seemed to say: "I don't study well, so don't lie to me."
"No matter what, let's tie them up first..."
