"Hey, what are you doing? Don't mess around!"
Zhang Ning shouted in panic, but everyone seemed not to hear him and quickly tied him to the chair.
"Brother Yu, my good Brother Yu! I'm not a manly person. Besides, my strong-willed melon isn't sweet at all!"
Zhang Ning kept twisting on the chair, looking at Lu Yu getting closer and closer to him in horror.
"Go away, I don't have any thoughts about you, it's just that what Xiao Xiao said just now is all facts, do you understand?"
Lu Yu's face darkened and he explained helplessly.
"I heard it. There may be something fishy about the rain, but why are you tying me up?"
Zhang Ning stopped twisting and looked at Lu Yu in front of him with confusion.
"Isn't this clear? Look at the way you opened your mouth to the sky just now, like a toad trying to eat the swan meat. This rain must be good for you. Even your body has responded honestly."
Lu Yu explained, and Xiao Ran nodded in agreement.
"Then why don't you just let me catch the rainwater? Why are you tying me up?"
Zhang Ning's reaction was also very fast. He immediately understood the meaning of Lu Yu's words, but he still couldn't figure out why he was tied up.
"Nonsense, what if you drink the rainwater and lose your mind? We have to control you!"
Xu Xiaoxiao made a rare statement of his own. At this time, the girl was holding her waist, looking at Zhang Ning on the chair with a look that looked like a retard.
"Hey, how can that be like this! I refuse, okay, don't feed me any weird things!"
Zhang Ning kept resisting, but no one paid any attention to his intentions. Lu Yu and the others originally planned to ask Zhang Ning to catch the rainwater, while Yan Shao and his wife had just joined and were not aware of the situation in front of them.
Only Uncle Ni said something.
"Xiao Lu, why don't you put Xiao Zhang in the rain to catch the rain..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ning glanced at Uncle Ni very gratefully, while Lu Yu and others were slightly startled and looked at the kind old man with some confusion.
Seeing Lu Yu cast a questioning look at him, Uncle Ni touched his bald head and said with a smile.
"Hey, what I mean is that if you put him in the rainwater, he will get wet and catch a cold, which will be bad. Let's catch it in a basin and feed him all the rainwater. Isn't it convenient and fast? The efficiency is also much higher..."
"Uncle Ni! Ni Zhengou! Can you still have fun and play!" Zhang Ning shouted desperately, scolding Uncle Ni for his dirty tricks.
But Lu Yu's seemingly dictatorial approach was actually a conclusion reached after careful consideration.
Zhang Ning drank tap water without any adverse effects. Lu Yu, Xiao Ran and Xu Xiaoxiao all saw it and took it to heart.
After that, while searching for survivors, Zhang Ning absorbed the black mucus from the zombies' brains through the skin of his hands.
This scene was also seen by Xu Xiaoxiao, and the muscular girl also told Lu Yu and Xiao Ran about the changes in the scales on Zhang Ning's neck when she was healing.
Refer again to what Ma Long and Zhang Jike mentioned before when describing soldier-level zombies.
"The initial characteristics of a soldier-level zombie are black scales and scarlet eyes."
Since it is said to be preliminary characteristics, it can be inferred that this form of zombies also has intermediate characteristics, or even a complete form.
Zhang Ning, on the other hand, possesses all the preliminary characteristics of a soldier-level zombie.
After summarizing this information, Xiao Ran came to the conclusion that Zhang Ning's state could most likely be evolved through certain means to become a more advanced zombie-level form.
This method is likely to enrich the virus.
Originally, everyone planned to let Zhang Ning kill two zombies and absorb the black mucus from the zombies' brains again to see the effect after he recovered from his injuries.
The sudden changes caused by the heavy rain forced this plan to be implemented in advance.
Zhang Ning's abnormal reaction after being exposed to the rain shocked Lu Yu and others.
Even a fool can see that his body is extremely eager to receive the rain. Under this desire, the body even briefly takes over the control of the brain, producing an instinct similar to that of a baby looking for milk as soon as it is born!
Feed the rain! It's imminent!
"Okay, Xiaoran, Xiaoxiao and Uncle Ni, go get a basin to catch the rainwater."
Lu Yu spoke quickly, and out of the corner of his eye he couldn't help but glance at Yan Shao and his wife beside him. He found that there was still hesitation on their faces, and immediately explained aloud.
"Yan Hao is running towards Shao Xiuqi, and you guys are here to help. What we are doing now is definitely good for Zhang Ning. I guarantee it with my personality."
Seeing Lu Yu's vow, even though the couple was hesitant, they couldn't help but take action.
After a while, the patter of rain hitting the plastic basin came through the window.
"Everyone, be sure to keep your mouths closed and don't let rainwater enter your mouths!"
Lu Yu said loudly, while holding a large yellow plastic basin in his hand and walking towards the window on the other side, ready to collect water...
Residential Building No. 7, collapsed suspended corridor.
The torrential rain poured down, and under the blow of the wind, it crackled on the concrete blocks. The large amount of rain soon wetted the rubble pile, and more accumulated water moved towards the rubble pile under the action of gravity. It seeps in and moistens the contents inside.
"Wow."
A soft sound of stirring gravel came from it. Several small stones rolled down from the suspended corridor and fell to the ground, turning into debris.
Among the originally lifeless rubble, a blue tentacle as thick as a forearm stretched out...
…
The rainstorm did not last long, lasting less than thirty minutes in total. However, due to the heavy rainfall, everyone held nearly half of the basin in their hands. When gathered together, there was a large bucket of rainwater. .
"Come on, boss! Hurry while it's fresh!"
Lu Yu casually picked up a paper cup, scooped a large cup from the bucket, and handed it to Zhang Ning's mouth.
Zhang Ning no longer struggled at this time, because Lu Yu had already told Zhang Ning the inference results while collecting the rainwater, and now even he felt that what Lu Yu said made sense.
"Okay, who told me to be the protagonist?"
Zhang Ning pondered for a moment, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. Suddenly, these two words came out of his mouth. He opened his mouth wide and drank half of Lu Yu's glass of rainwater in one gulp. , and after finishing it, he smacked his lips with unsatisfied satisfaction.
"This rain...is a bit sweet..."
But seeing Zhang Ning's lips and teeth open slightly, before even the word "sweet" came out of his mouth, his whole body felt as if he was electrocuted again, and he started to tremble. At the same time, his eyes rolled up, his neck tilted back, and he put on that posture again. The action of opening one's mouth to receive water.
"It really works!"
Everyone gasped when they saw this, and they all said subconsciously.
Next, there is the very boring and repetitive work of pouring water.
Everyone took turns pouring rainwater into Zhang Ning's open mouth. Soon, Zhang Ning drank half of the water in the bucket.
Looking at Zhang Ning's slightly swollen belly, Lu Yu scratched his head and signaled everyone to stop pouring water, step aside, and quietly observe his changes.
After all, if Zhang Ning drinks all the rainwater at once, he will probably be choked to death, so he drinks half of it first and sees how it goes.
At this time, the sky has completely darkened, and shadows dominate the entire world, leaving no trace of light in the world.
Because they were afraid that the light would attract other monsters, everyone tacitly agreed not to light up the flashlights. Seeing that Zhang Ning still maintained the same look of catching rainwater, it seemed that there had been no change. The tired atmosphere gradually spread around, and sleepiness surged. Come up.
"Why don't you go to sleep first..."
Xu Xiaoxiao rubbed his heavy eyes and yawned.
"Okay, Uncle Ni, Yan Hanben, Shao Xiuqi, you three go to bed first. With us here, there shouldn't be any problems."
Lu Yu said in a deep voice in the darkness. His eyes had adapted to the darkness in front of him, and he could clearly see Zhang Ning on the chair through the faint moonlight.
"Then let's go to bed first. If you need anything, call us."
Shao Xiuqi's slightly sleepy voice came from the darkness. Three figures entered the room in the dark and closed the door each.
"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Ran, you two should go to sleep too, I'll just keep watch."
"Let me stay with you for a while."
"Okay, Boss Lu, I'll go to bed first."
Xiaoran and Xu Xiaoxiao's replies came from the sofa. A tall figure stretched in the darkness and lay on the inflatable mattress on the ground, while another small figure was still leaning on the sofa. Up, no action.
After a while, the girl's slight snoring came from the darkness, and Lu Yu felt Xiao Ran on the other end of the sofa move towards his position and lean against him.
"You can rest first, you don't need to accompany me."
Lu Yu whispered, reaching out and touching little Loli's head.
"Um."
Xiao Ran replied quietly, curling up next to Lu Yu quietly, like a quiet cat.
Time passed quietly while waiting. Lu Yu didn't know how long he lasted, but he vaguely remembered that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. In the end, he couldn't resist Duke Zhou's call and fell asleep happily.
When he woke up again, he was awakened by the sound of a chair falling.
As soon as Lu Yu opened his eyes, he found Zhang Ning who had fallen to the ground with his chair. He thought something had happened and quickly got up to check.
But before he could get off the sofa, Zhang Ning, who fell to the ground, let out an extremely miserable wail.
"Ah... what a sin..."
Startled by the wailing sound, Lu Yu's originally vague sleepiness instantly dissipated, and he quickly came to Zhang Ning with three steps and two steps at a time. After taking a closer look, he couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Ning was firmly tied to the chair, and his pants were wet. It looked like he had peed his pants.
Seeing Lu Yu mocking him unscrupulously, Zhang Ning's face instantly turned red, and he turned his head away in vain, trying not to look at the expression on Lu Yu's face.
Xiao Ran and Xu Xiaoxiao were also woken up one after another. They both looked at Lu Yu, who was trying to hold back his laughter, and Zhang Ning, who was lying on the ground in despair, with confused expressions.
"Boss, boss, hahaha, it's not your fault, it's okay, we are not ashamed, hahaha, blame me, haha, sorry, sorry, hahahaha..."
"Untie it for me quickly..."
Zhang Ning looked like a little daughter-in-law who had been turned around, looking miserably at Xu Xiaoxiao who was closest to him.
"Boss, what's wrong with him? Is he mutated?"
Xu Xiaoxiao's head didn't even turn around, and he asked Lu Yu.
"Hahahaha, he peed his pants. He is such an adult and still peed his pants hahaha..."
Lu Yu clutched his stomach. The suppressed laughter just now made his abdomen cramp.
"Why don't you, you bastard, insist on tying me up so that I can't even go to the toilet?"
Zhang Ning blushed and tried to defend herself.
"Hurry and untie Brother Zhang Ning. It's not good to wear wet pants."
Xiaoran was also smiling, but she didn't expose Zhang Ning's sophistry.
If it was really because he was tied to the chair, then Zhang Ning could have woken up everyone to untie him when he was in urgent need of urination. But judging from the current situation, Zhang Ning should have found the toilet while dreaming...
