Listening to the shouts from the loudspeaker gradually fading away, Lu Yu exhaled a heavy breath.
He originally planned to ask Zhang Ning to press the loudspeaker at the intersection and use the sound to attract zombies around the community, so that his subsequent plan could be implemented.
But what he didn't expect was that not long after Zhang Ning turned on the loudspeaker, he turned back and walked around the community twice arrogantly, attracting almost all the zombies around him.
And before leaving, he waved to him!
After looking at the restless long-tongued zombie in the security booth, Lu Yu complained softly.
"It's really enviable that this kid won't be bitten by zombies. He can almost come and go freely in this post-catastrophic world..."
Although the zombies around the community were attracted by the movement made by Zhang Ning, Lu Yu still did not relax completely. After glancing around vigilantly, Lu Yu hurried towards the residential building.
He also wanted to find a suitable location to dispose of all the bodies inside and outside the corridor.
When he thought of the corpse, Lu Yu naturally thought of Yao Peiqing, and when he thought of Yao Peiqing, a strange smile appeared on his expressionless face without any warning.
Why did Yao Peiqing suddenly turn into a zombie?
This is of course not a coincidence, but Lu Yu's intention. To be more precise, it is the result of Lu Yu's 'unintentional act'.
In the first few days after the disaster, Lu Yu used various containers to collect water in order to prevent the inconvenience caused by the interruption of tap water supply. This resulted in the plastic buckets and plastic basins at home being filled with tap water.
The tap water stored in buckets and basins is certainly not for drinking.
At that time, Lu Yu was worried that there might be problems with the tap water, so he boiled bottled mineral water instead of daily drinking water.
It was later proven that his caution at the time allowed him to survive and not become a walking corpse.
The empty bottles that had been filled with mineral water were also used by Lu Yu. He refilled them with tap water, marked them and stuffed them back into the box.
This kind of water bottle filled with tap water was neither too much nor too little. There were exactly twelve bottles in a box, and Lu Yu stuffed them in the corner.
Only Xiao Ran, who was living with Lu Yu at the time, knew about this matter. After handling the box of bottled tap water, Xu Xiaoxiao came to visit with a kitchen knife.
What happened after that was urgent and complicated, and the box of special 'mineral water' was quickly forgotten in the corner by Lu Yu and Xiao Ran.
It wasn't until Yao Peiqing asked to carry some food that day that Lu Yu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a box of mineral water filled with tap water.
I don’t know if it was fate or Yao Peiqing’s habit.
The box of mineral water placed in the corner was actually picked out by her.
Lu Yu actually wanted to tell her, but Yao Peiqing's disgusting attitude didn't win Lu Yu's favor, so he simply pretended that he didn't see anything and let this selfish old woman make her own decisions.
Even after that, he generously acquiesced to continue carrying food.
Because at that time, Yao Peiqing was already a dead person in his eyes.
Although Lu Yu didn't know the probability of the human body being naturally immune to the virus, he believed that without the help of aspirin, the probability of Yao Peiqing becoming an enhancer was almost zero.
But what he didn't expect was that it would take so long for Yao Peiqing to turn into a zombie.
According to his idea, Yao Peiqing should have quietly turned into a zombie at home that night after moving the food.
After all, before this, Xu Xiaoxiao developed a high fever and entered an infected state after drinking a lot of tap water.

"I don't know if it's because the secondary virus has a long incubation period, or because Yao Peiqing drank the tap water too late..."
After muttering silently to himself, Lu Yu dismissed the thoughts in his mind and walked into the residential building.
Lu Yu soon arrived at the second floor. Yao Peiqing's body had been wrapped in a sheet, while Xu Xiaoxiao was standing by the door fully armed. It seemed that he had been waiting for a while.
"Do you have a mask? It's best to wear a mask too."
Taking the rubber gloves from Xu Xiaoxiao, Lu Yu asked.
Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at Uncle Ni next to him in confusion and said that he did not know whether he had masks at home.
"I remember there should be some more in the cabinet, I'll go look for it..."
On the other hand, Shao Xiuqi whispered, but her voice trembled, as if she had been greatly frightened.
Lu Yu was slightly startled when he saw this, but then combined with the previous events, he quickly deduced the reason for Shao Xiuqi's abnormality in his mind.
As a normal person, seeing a zombie transformed from a human being shot and killed for the first time will definitely make him feel scared.
Although she had seen the horrific scene before where Lu Yu saw off the heads of phase-level zombies.
But compared to Yao Peiqing, who was still a human being able to communicate normally one second, and turned into a zombie and was killed the next second, there was still a big difference.
After all, the former is a different species, while the latter is the same species.
The scene where Xiao Ran shot Yao Peiqing was tantamount to shooting a human being in front of everyone.
The psychological impact on Shao Xiuqi and others can be imagined.
"Do I need to explain myself so that everyone doesn't think I'm a perverted murderer?"
Lu Yu murmured in his heart, Shao Xiuqi moved very quickly and found the mask after a while.
This mask is not an ordinary medical mask, but an N95 mask with a higher protection level, which can effectively isolate dust or most germs in the air to protect the respiratory tract.
“It’s great, this mask is great!”
Lu Yu took the n95 mask and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
At the same time, he seemed to remember something and added to Shao Xiuqi.
"Well, don't be afraid. As long as you don't turn into a zombie and follow the arrangements, I don't think there will be any big problems in our relationship..."
Lu Yu raised the corners of his mouth and showed what he thought was a friendly smile towards Shao Xiuqi.
But this kind smile, combined with his words, looked a little weird in Shao Xiuqi's eyes. Coupled with her thoughts wandering, the meaning in her mind became as follows.
"You must be obedient, otherwise I will kill you without waiting for you to turn into zombies..."
Shao Xiuqi looked frightened, nodded like a chicken pecking rice, quickly stepped back and hid behind Yan Hanben.
"Well, it's very good. It seems that necessary explanations and friendly smiles can help to build relationships between people. We must adopt this method more often when getting along with others in the future..."
Lu Yu, who lacked empathy, did not see the fear revealed in the other party's expression at all. Instead, he boasted proudly in his heart and incorporated this wrong way of communication into his treasure trove of experience.
"Xiao Xiao, let's go and throw this body outside the community wall..."
Lu Yu said, bending down to prepare to carry it, but as if he thought of something again, he suddenly stopped Xu Xiaoxiao's movements.
"Uh, wait a minute..."
While talking, Lu Yu opened the
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He lifted the sheet covering Yao Peiqing's head, revealing the two crossbow arrows on her head.
Lu Yu stretched out his hand and held one of the crossbow arrows. He tried to pull it out with a little force on his arm.
But the crossbow arrow was firmly nailed into the skull without any movement.
Seeing that he couldn't pull it out immediately, Lu Yu felt a little irritated, and the strength on his arm increased a bit, but the crossbow arrow was still firmly nailed to the corpse's head. On the contrary, because Lu Yu used too much force, Yao Peiqing's head was driven by the crossbow arrow. Lifted up.
"Why are you nailed so hard..."
Lu Yu muttered in his heart, and reflexively stretched out his left foot and stepped on Yao Peiqing's ferocious face.
With the strength of his left foot as a fixation, Lu Yu exerted force on his back and pulled out suddenly, finally successfully pulling the crossbow arrow out of Yao Peiqing's head.
With the experience of successfully pulling out an arrow for the first time, Lu Yu quickly pulled out the second arrow. After carefully wiping off the red and white matter on the arrowhead with the sheet wrapped around the body, he handed it to the person beside him. Little loli.
"There are only 30 crossbow arrows in total, so we can't just throw them away..."
Lu Yu's move was naturally to save crossbow arrows, but when it fell into Shao Xiuqi's eyes, it seemed like a different scene...
After wrapping Yao Peiqing's body again, Lu Yu and Xu Xiaoxiao came downstairs one after another.
After once again confirming that the surrounding area was safe, Lu Yu winked at Xu Xiaoxiao and motioned for her to throw Yao Peiqing's body outside the wall.
After that, the two used the same method to clean up the body of the headless phase-level zombie that was pushed downstairs.
Although the body of the woman who was killed by Su Daqiang and the big-backed zombie who was lured and killed by Lu Yu had not passed by for a long time, the body still emitted a rotting smell under the influence of temperature. Fortunately, the two of them had masks to protect them, so they reluctantly put these bodies away. Two bodies were thrown outside the community wall.
"There is also the corpse of the orange cat and some of the remains of the corpse. It is best to clean them up. After all, I will stay in this building for a while..."
Lu Yu once again recalled the three messages he left for him when he first met the mysterious traveler Zhang Heng.
The first is to prepare a large amount of food and water to cope with the subsequent disaster environment.
The third one is to ask him to try not to travel far away before December 21, 2022.
"Traveling far away..."
Lu Yu repeated these three words in his heart. Since Zhang Heng did not explain why he asked him to do this at that time, Lu Yu was still confused about the last message and did not know its meaning.
"How do I go far away..."
Lu Yu's mind became entangled again. It was precisely because he didn't understand this last piece of information that made him so worried.
If Zhang Heng had made it clearer at the time, such as not being able to leave the community before December 21st, or not being able to leave a certain neighborhood, or even not being able to leave N city, then he wouldn't have had to be so entangled.
But the message Zhang Heng left behind contained a vague sentence: "You can't travel far away."
"Is it possible that I really want to stay at home forever?"
Lu Yu's face wrinkled into a bitter melon, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have caught some key clue.
When Zhang Heng elaborated on the first message at that time, he seemed to have said, "It is best to last until the end of this year."
"That Zhang Heng asked me to stock up on large amounts of food with a long shelf life and clean water, preferably until the end of this year."
"But the date that restricts my travel is still a year away from the end of this year. If I really don't prepare enough food and finish it by the end of the year, what will I eat next year?"
