Lu Yu was like a hound that had smelled clues and began to reason along this line of thinking.
"The information given by Zhang Heng should not make me starve to death at home. On the contrary, it will help me avoid risks to a certain extent."
"Following this line of reasoning, there are two possibilities."
"The first one is that after the food is exhausted at the end of this year, I will obtain subsequent material supplies. As for how to obtain them, I don't know. In short, this method will not allow me to meet the conditions of 'travelling'."
"Second, after the food runs out at the end of this year and I don't get follow-up supplies, I need to go to other places that can guarantee safety and sustain life."
"Based on the current situation, going to the Siming Mountain Refuge seems to be the only option. Based on this thinking, going to the Siming Mountain Refuge should not constitute a condition for 'travelling'."
Lu Yu was thinking in his heart, but his feet kept moving. Not long after, he and Xu Xiaoxiao arrived at the 22nd floor where the cat corpse was.
In the fire escape on the 22nd floor, the body of an orange cat the size of a leopard was laid out against the wall. There were also some bones and dried meat in the corner.
On the white wall directly opposite, there is still a leech-like corpse of a creature, but it has been dried.
What surprised Lu Yu was that the orange cat's body did not appear to be highly decomposed, but lacked moisture, and there was a faint trend of mummification.
And in the fire escape, except for some slight odors, there are no scavenging insects such as flies and maggots.
"It's strange. When we were cleaning up the body of the big-backed head and the woman's body, we didn't seem to see any flies or maggots on the bodies. Could it be that after the disaster broke out, the flies became extinct?"
Lu Yu made random guesses in his mind, wrapped the body in the sheets he brought with him, tied it carefully, and handed it to Xu Xiaoxiao's hands.
The girl easily took Lu Yu's packed body and walked downstairs without looking back.
For ordinary girls, corpses are often synonymous with horror.
But for Xu Xiaoxiao, corpses are just the objects of her work.
I don’t know if it’s fate or destiny.
The major that Xu Xiaoxiao studied in college was the very unpopular embalmer.
Xu Xiaoxiao, who has been exposed to various corpses in school, has naturally developed immunity to these dead things.
Whether it was a zombie corpse or a human corpse, as long as it didn't suddenly jump up and bite her, the girl would never feel the slightest fear.
What's more, it was the corpse of an orange cat that had grown slightly larger.
After cleaning up the bodies in the fire escape and beside the residential building, Lu Yu and Xu Xiaoxiao returned to the home of Yan Shao and his wife on the second floor.
Although the atmosphere in the room was still depressing, fortunately, everyone felt greatly relieved after they could no longer see Yao Peiqing's body.
After all, in this environment, people around you may die at any time, and maybe you are the next one. Faced with this uncertain future, all you can do is survive in the cracks.
After thinking about this, everyone couldn't help but feel grateful to Lu Yu.
Although this young man has a weird temper and is even a little cold-blooded.
But without the water and food he provided, everyone might have starved to death at home.
Just as Lu Yu was contemplating his next plan, a loud exclamation suddenly came from the bedroom, which had been quiet all this time, interrupting his thoughts.

"Fuck!"
Lu Yu frowned, looked at Xiaoran who was sitting on the sofa, and walked towards the bedroom.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Lu Yu saw Ma Long sitting up from the bed. The soldier was sweating profusely on his forehead and his chest was still heaving. It seemed that he was quite frightened.
Zhang Jike was still leaning on the bedside, staring at Ma Long with drooped eyelids, looking calm and unfazed.
"Brother Ma, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Yu asked quickly, but he had already guessed something in his heart.
Judging from Ma Long's frightened appearance, he probably had a nightmare just now.
Combining the previous experiences of himself, Xiaoran and Xu Xiaoxiao, Lu Yu couldn't help but have a strange idea in his mind.
"Is it possible that all humans who have been successfully enhanced by the virus will have a nightmare before waking up from a coma?"
With the speculation in his heart, Lu Yu cast his curious eyes on Ma Long on the bed.
"I just had a bad dream..."
Ma Long gasped and was about to answer, but his shoulders were held down by Zhang Jike who was standing beside him.
Surprised, Ma Long looked back at Zhang Jike, only to see the sickly cat-like soldier shaking his head at him, as if to signal him to stop talking.
When Ma Long saw this, he immediately closed his mouth and said perfunctorily to Lu Yu.
"Nothing, nothing, just a nightmare..."
Seeing Ma Long's hesitant expression, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel confused. It was obviously just a dream, and it was a very normal phenomenon in normal times.
But why did Zhang Jike stop Ma Long? It seemed that there was a major secret hidden in the dream he was going to describe next.
Are there really any key clues hidden in the dream that ordinary people like them cannot know?
Thinking about this, Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh.
My imagination is too rich. It's just a dream. How could it contain any important clues? It should be just a coincidence.
After dispelling the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, Lu Yu focused his gaze on the wound on Ma Long's leg.
There was no blood seeping out from under the white gauze. It seemed that when he and Xu Xiaoxiao were handling the body just now, Shao Xiuqi and Xiao Ran should have replaced it with new gauze.
"Ma Long, how do you feel? Does the wound still hurt?"
Xu Xiaoxiao was not as open-minded as Lu Yu. Seeing that Ma Long had woken up, he stepped forward to inquire about the injury with concern.
"Wound……"
Ma Long had a dazed look on his face, as if he hadn't fully woken up from the nightmare. After hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's question, he focused on the wound on his thigh.
"Well!"
Suddenly, Ma Long seemed to feel some strange pain, his face showed pain, and his body trembled involuntarily.
Both arms stretched forward and pressed around the wound. Veins popped out on the back of the hands. It looked like he had exhausted all his strength.
When everyone saw Ma Long's sudden change, they all involuntarily kicked back. Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself.
"broken!"
When Ma Long was injured by the giant spider, Lu Yu gave the soldier aspirin to prevent the spider's legs from carrying viruses that might infect Ma Long.
At the beginning, the soldier's hands and feet were tied with ropes as a precaution.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
However, after taking the drug, the soldier did not experience any abnormal changes in his body. He just remained in a coma and has continued to this day.
During this period, Lu Yu saw that Ma Long did not react abnormally, and that Zhang Jike woke up safely, thinking that the two soldiers were not infected with the secondary virus, so he relaxed his guard and loosened the ropes on Ma Long and Zhang Jike.
But Yao Peiqing's sudden mutation this morning reminded Lu Yu that this secondary virus that can turn people into bloodthirsty monsters should have an incubation period.
"Xiao Xiao!"
Lu Yu roared, and regardless of whether Xu Xiaoxiao reacted, he jumped on Ma Long first, pressed Ma Long's shoulders with both hands, and used the inertia to push him down on the bed.
"ah?"
The muscular girl Xu Xiaoxiao's comprehension ability was naturally not as strong as Xiao Ran's, but when she saw Lu Yu pounce on Ma Long's body, she immediately understood something. She quickly stepped forward, stretched out her hands, and held down firmly. Malone's feet.
Feeling the strangeness coming from the wound, before Ma Long could explain, he was pressed firmly to the bed by the two men, unable to move.
"What are you going to do!"
Ma Long's eyes widened, like a little daughter-in-law who was about to be insulted, looking at the two people on top of him in horror.
"Eh? You can still talk?"
Lu Yu was also startled when he saw this and blurted out a question.
"Of course I can fucking talk, and I can also fucking recite jingles!"
Ma Long's face darkened and he looked at Lu Yu, who was pressing on him, as if he were an idiot.
"Then why did you react so violently just now? I thought you were going to turn into a zombie..."
Lu Yu retracted his hands and muttered softly.
Seeing Lu Yu let go of his hands, Ma Long immediately sat up again and pressed his hands tightly around the wound, showing that he wanted to scratch it but was afraid of scratching the wound.
"My wound is so itchy! It's so painful..."
"The wound is itchy? Could it be..."
Xiao Ran, who was standing at the door, seemed to have thought of something when he heard Ma Long's words. He hurried forward and quickly untied the gauze on Ma Long's legs.
When the wound was exposed to the air, everyone onlookers took a breath and stared at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
The serious penetrating wound on Ma Long's leg was healing at an incredible speed.
The black and red blood clots that had condensed into blood scabs were like hardened soil, which was roughly pushed away by the new granulation. The bright red flesh seemed to be alive, squeezing and rhythmically moving towards the inside of the wound.
After a while, the deep wound was completely closed, leaving only some granulations on the surface of the skin still growing slowly, making an incredible hissing sound.
"Here, Brother Ma, you have become Wolverine!"
Lu Yu stared at the wound on Ma Long's leg, his mouth subconsciously opened into an "O" shape.
The reason why I say this is because Ma Long's self-healing ability is very similar to the super power in "X-Men", a movie Lu Yu watched a long time ago.
And the movie character who has this incredible ability to heal himself is Wolverine!
Just when Lu Yu screamed, the wound on Ma Long's leg had healed as before, and even the hair on his leg had grown back. Apart from the dried blood, there was no other evidence to prove that there had been an abnormally serious injury here. penetrating wounds...
