After the discussion was completed, everyone returned to their respective positions and began to busy themselves with their own affairs.
But speaking of busy work, the only one who really had something to do was Uncle Ni. Yan Shao and his wife just went back to the house to fold their clothes, while Xu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran were sitting on the sofa, wiping the metal baseball bat in their hands. The loose wire at the end of the stick was tightened, and Xiao Ran adjusted the modified crossbow in his hand to ensure that its performance was in the most perfect state.
Zhang Ning and Lu Yu slumped lazily on the sofa, staring at the half bucket of rainwater in the center of the living room.
After coming out of the bedroom, Zhang Ning immediately asked Lu Yu and the others to feed him rainwater again, and took the initiative to get the rope.
After experiencing the rain last night, Zhang Ning felt that his physical condition had been greatly improved, even though he peed his pants in shame, and he even felt like a dragon and a tiger.
Therefore, he wanted to drink all the remaining rainwater while he was free to see if any changes would happen.
But the strange thing is that when Lu Yu tied him up and poured rainwater into his mouth again, he did not have the uncontrollable instinctive reaction he had last night.
"Why does this water have no taste?"
Zhang Ning looked at the cup in Lu Yu's hand with confusion and asked strangely.
Lu Yu also looked at the water glass in his hand. The rainwater in the glass was clear and translucent without any impurities. It looked no different from what Zhang Ning drank last night.
"Strange? I didn't touch the water either. Why don't you try drinking more?"
Lu Yu handed the cup to Zhang Ning's mouth and poured the entire cup of water into Zhang Ning's stomach. However, the funny man who was tied to the chair just smashed his mouth, but there was still no reaction.
"Is it expired..."
Zhang Ning whispered that after drinking the glass of rainwater, he had no other reaction except that his stomach was a little bloated.
"Hey, wait a minute, there will be a reaction..."
Zhang Ning suddenly looked solemn and closed his eyes, as if he was carefully feeling the changes in his body.
"What's your reaction? Tell me quickly..."
Lu Yu's face lit up with joy, and he curiously approached Zhang Ning and looked at him carefully.
At this moment, Zhang Ning raised his butt, and a loud fart came out from it. Lu Yu's face suddenly turned green, he covered his nose and took three steps back, with curses in his mouth.
"Hey, I'm sorry, Brother Yu, help me untie it, I want to get a larger size..."
In this way, the two people who had been busy for a while finally confirmed that the half bucket of rainwater had no effect on Zhang Ning. Lu Yu had no choice but to give up. Ge You lay on the sofa with a gloomy look on his face.
Just when everyone was doing nothing, Shao Xiuqi, who was folding clothes in the bedroom, suddenly ran out in panic and said to everyone.
"Come and see, those zombies downstairs are starting to fight among themselves!"
Lu Yu and Zhang Ning, who were still slumped on the sofa, suddenly became energetic and rushed to the window first, looking curiously downstairs. The girls moved a little slower, but they also followed them to the window one after another.
"It's such a chaotic mess that I can't see clearly."
Zhang Ning squinted his eyes and stretched his neck.
This can't be blamed on him. Zhang Ning's eyesight was originally relatively poor and he was nearsighted. In the days before the disaster, he had to wear glasses to live a normal life.
But now, the pair of black-rimmed glasses that had been with him for many years had disappeared when he fell from a height, so Zhang Ning could only forcefully adapt to the life without glasses.
Strangely enough, Zhang Ning, who was originally myopic at more than 600 degrees, could not clearly see the zombies outside the community. But after drinking a lot of rainwater yesterday, he was surprised to find that his vision no longer seemed to be the same. As blurry as before, a rough estimate is that the degree of myopia may have dropped to about 200 degrees.
"Here, brother Zhang Ning!"
Zhang Ning, who had already leaned most of his body out of the window, suddenly felt that the corner of his clothes was being pulled by someone. He looked back and found that Xiao Ran was carrying a monocular telescope and placed it behind him with difficulty. .
"Xiao Ran is awesome, and he has this professional equipment."
Zhang Ning let out a strange cry of excitement. This was just the time to give him a pillow when he fell asleep. He quickly adjusted the monocular a few times, stuck out his butt and started observing.
"These zombies seem to be biting and devouring each other."
Lu Yu, who had been standing by the window for a while, was the first to speak.
"That's not right. I remember these things. They only like to chase after living people and chew them. They don't seem to attack the same kind. Why did they change their gender all of a sudden?"
Uncle Ni on the side also spoke. The old man came to the window at some point, and he also squinted his eyes and looked at the zombies in the distance.
"Are they hungry and haven't been able to eat anyone, so they have no choice but to attack others of the same kind around them?"
Xu Xiaoxiao blinked his eyes, put his index finger on his chin, and murmured to himself.
"It's so disgusting..."
Shao Xiuqi looked at the chaos outside the community for a while, with a look on her face. She seemed to be frightened by the scene of severed limbs and legs, eating each other.
"No more, no more, let's go fold the clothes."
Yan Han hugged the woman, glanced out the window with lingering fear, and gave up his position by the window.
Seeing the two of them retreating, Xu Xiaoxiao moved two steps to the left and stood next to Lu Yu.
"There is a certain possibility. After all, zombies are always active and are consuming their physical strength. From a scientific point of view, if there is consumption, they must need supplies."
"Flesh and blood should be the supply for zombies, so zombies will chase living people to eat. This may be a self-supply instinct driven by the virus."
Lu Yu analyzed step by step, his mouth constantly opening and closing, but his eyes never left the group of zombies outside the community.
"But why don't zombies eat each other from the beginning, instead of waiting until they are extremely hungry? Is it possible that human flesh and blood are more attractive to them?"
Everyone was silent for a while, everyone guessed the truth in their hearts, but no one dared to confirm the correctness of their guess.
"Oh, it's so exciting, go ahead! Hit him, yes! Gouge his eyeballs! Well done..."
At this moment, Zhang Ning, who had been observing zombies with a telescope, trembled all over, and a burst of cheers came from his mouth.
"What did you see?"
Lu Yu looked helpless, stretched out his left hand, fingers slightly spread, and slapped Zhang Ning's raised butt.
"Hey, Brother Yu, come and see, it's like a wilderness version of Octagonal cage fighting, not to mention how exciting it is!"
Zhang Ning touched his butt and didn't seem to mind that Lu Yu interrupted his viewing, and warmly invited Lu Yu to come and have a look.
"Oh? Octagon fighting?"
Lu Yu suddenly became interested and put his eyes in front of the observation mirror of the telescope, but instead of sticking his butt out like Zhang Ning, he was squatting half down, looking much normal.
From the telescope, Lu Yu could clearly see a melee taking place among the zombies outside the community.
After dozens of days of infection and changes, the skin on the zombies' heads has become noticeably shriveled, and most of the hair on their heads has fallen out. Their scalps are tightly attached to their skulls, making them look terrifying.
But what caught Lu Yu's attention was not the ugly appearance of the zombies, but the zombies that were significantly taller than those around them.
Those zombies are also tearing and biting the same kind around them, but unlike those weak ones, they have very few dry parts on their bodies, and their appearance looks more like newly infected humans.
Although the clothes on their bodies were equally tattered, their skin seemed to be much tougher. Lu Yu noticed that one of the tall zombies' arm was bitten by several short zombies, but no flesh and blood was torn off. On the contrary, these offenses The short zombies that were larger than the tall zombies had their bodies torn apart and their heads taken off by the tall zombies.
I saw the tall zombie holding the head of one of the short zombies, opening its big mouth and biting towards the nose. After a few times, the sharp teeth crushed the facial bones of the head, and the black substance inside flowed out. out.
The tall zombie twitched its nose, as if it sensed the black substance flowing out, and immediately stuck out its tongue, pierced it into the head, and began to suck.
Through the telescope, Lu Yu could even see the expression of enjoyment on the face of the tall zombie, as if what he was holding at the moment was not a disgusting head, but a coconut filled with refreshing and delicious coconut juice.
"It's so disgusting. What kind of octagon is this? It's just a food show..."
Lu Yu stood up and told a very cold joke.
"Didn't you see those tall guys?"
Zhang Ning seemed to be unfinished, and excitedly pulled Lu Yu and asked.
"Look, I saw it. I saw a tall zombie drinking the head of a short zombie like a coconut..."
"That's not it. Didn't you see two tall zombies fighting each other?"
Zhang Ning said quickly, and at the same time moved his head towards the monocular, as if he wanted to take another look.
"What? Two tall zombies fighting each other?"
Lu Yu hurriedly pushed Zhang Ning's head away and leaned in to observe again.
Sure enough, in the corner of the zombie group, there was a scene of two zombies constantly tearing each other apart.
The skin of these two zombies was darker and duller than the surrounding zombies, making them very concealable. This was why Lu Yu ignored them when he first observed them.
I saw one of the zombies with half a white vest on his body raising his arm and grabbing hard at the same kind in front of him. His shiny black nails were like five bladed steel knives, instantly cutting the opponent. The skin and flesh on the face revealed the bones within it.
But as the opponent of the zombie in the white vest, the naked zombie didn't seem to show any weakness. He also raised his arms in the same posture and grabbed the opponent fiercely.
The two zombies were tearing at each other back and forth, and the remaining force from the claw attack easily tore apart the surrounding short zombies. Black matter flew in all directions, causing a commotion among the zombies, but the two zombies seemed to be completely indifferent. Before he knew it, he was still tearing at each other selflessly, already looking like he was fully immersed in it...
