City N, District Y, in Blue Moon Garden Community.
Lu Yu and Xiao Ran were sitting at the dining table, with a half-filled pot of tap water in front of them.
Since the potable water reserves at home were in short supply, the two decided to boil tap water as a drinking water source after discussion.
However, neither of them was sure whether the high temperature of 100 degrees Celsius could really effectively kill the virus in tap water, so they had to boil it a little first and do a test.
Nearly half an hour had passed since the water was boiled. Lu Yu took out an electronic thermometer and inserted it into the small pot of boiling water. The reading on the screen showed that the current water temperature was fifty-six degrees Celsius.
"Well, the temperature is still a bit high, but it should be drinkable. Xiao Ran, please bring the rope and aspirin. Let me try this poisonous water today!"
Lu Yu waved his big hand in an exaggerated manner and ordered.
After a while, Xiao Ran took out a strong clothesline from the study, tied Lu Yu's wrists firmly to the table leg, and placed a small piece of aspirin in front of Lu Yu.
"Hurry up, Uncle Lu Yu, the flowers I've been waiting for have all faded."
The little Loli blinked her beautiful heterochromatic eyes, opened the half-read book and started reading again, seemingly not paying attention to Lu Yu's request for a drink of water.
"Hey, what's your attitude? I'm taking the lead and risking my own life. How do you treat pioneers who are brave enough to explore?"
When Xiao Ran heard this, he just rolled his eyes at the ceiling, wrinkled his small nose, and didn't pay attention to Lu Yu's gibbering.
Pour the boiling water in the pot into the porcelain bowl, Lu Yu blew it uneasily, tested the temperature with his lips, and after making sure it would not burn his mouth, he drank in small sips.
After drinking the tap water from the porcelain bowl, Lu Yu began to sit upright on the chair, staring intently at the blank wall in front of him, looking like a primary school student who was listening carefully.
"Uncle Lu Yu, why are you sitting so upright? Is it because you want to have a better way to die when you are infected by the virus?"
Xiao Ran, who was reading a book on the side, accidentally caught a glimpse of Lu Yu sitting upright and couldn't help but joked.
"What do children know? I am feeling the changes in my body with all my heart. What is death and immortality? Tongyanwuji bah bah bah..."
Although Lu Yu said this, he seemed to mind what Xiao Ran said, but his face was not unhappy at all. Instead, there was a faint smile on his face.
After another half an hour, seeing that Lu Yu still maintained his original state and did not feel any physical discomfort, Xiao Ran untied the rope tied to Lu Yu's hands and restored Lu Yu's freedom.
Although the reaction of this secondary virus is different in different people, for example, Xu Xiaoxiao will soon develop symptoms of zombie transformation after drinking tap water, but Yao Peiqing will show symptoms after a period of time.
But Lu Yu was also infected once before. Judging from the situation at that time, the secondary virus did not lurk in his body for long, and it was also a type of rapid outbreak like Xu Xiaoxiao.
So after Lu Yu drank the boiled tap water, Xiao Ran just observed it for half an hour. Seeing that Lu Yu's body temperature did not change, he untied the rope with confidence.
"Sure enough, high temperature can effectively kill secondary viruses in water. In this way, the tap water at home can become a reserve of drinking water."

The supply of tap water has not stopped yet. As long as he finds enough containers, he can store a large amount of tap water, which can fully support Xiao Ran and Lu Yu until the end of the year.
Hearing what Lu Yu said, Xiao Ran on the side raised his head from the book again and said with a bit of teasing.
"It seems that someone was too timid before. He always wanted to go downstairs to collect mineral water, but he didn't dare to try boiled natural water..."
"Can that be called cowardice? That's called caution! Do you understand being cautious? You can only sail a thousand-year-old ship with caution. What do you know, you little brat..."
Lu Yu was cursing, but he was in a good mood. The water source problem that was bothering him was solved, and the food reserves at home were sufficient. There was no need to worry about supplies in the short term.
"I have an idea, we need to get some vegetables to eat..."
After touching his nose, Lu Yu said.
Although the main food and drinking water have been provided, there is still a lack of high-protein foods and fresh vegetables at home.
Although there are sealed packages of dried vegetables in supermarkets, the quantity is very limited. Even if Lu Yu emptied all the surrounding supermarkets, he still could not meet his daily needs.
Of course, this daily routine refers to normal diet, not survival.
"Do you still want to grow vegetables? Even if you can plant them in the flower bed downstairs, you don't have anywhere to find vegetable seeds, right?"
This time Xiaoran didn't raise his head from the book, but just said lightly.
She knew the reason why Lu Yu wanted to stay in Lanyue Garden Community until the end of the year. It was all because of the message left by the time traveler named Zhang Heng.
Originally, Xiao Ran's idea was that even if he didn't go to the shelter with Ma Long and the others, he should change places and leave the community as soon as possible.
After all, this is a city, and many resource supplies rely on external transportation. Once the doomsday comes and the order collapses, it will be difficult to build a self-sufficient refuge fortress without anyone to maintain it.
What's more, there are still a lot of zombies in the city.
Although most of these zombies are locked inside the house and cannot open the door on their own, there are still a lot of zombies wandering on the streets, which will pose a huge threat to going out to collect supplies.
"It is better to eliminate the surrounding threats, and then build a relatively safe shelter and collect supplies step by step..."
Just when Xiao Ran was concentrating on thinking about how the future would develop, the air that had been in a quiet state suddenly shook. The feeling was very slight, but it still did not escape Xiao Ran's keen insight.
"Huh? What's going on..."
The little Loli raised her head alertly and looked toward the window aimlessly.
The feeling of air vibration just now was very strange, just like the ripples caused by a stone falling into the lake. It spread rapidly in all directions. I could only feel the direction from which it came, but I couldn't accurately judge the specific direction. Location.
"Well, it hurts..."
A tingling sensation came from Xiao Ran's head, as if someone had stabbed her brain hard with a steel needle. Although the pain was severe, it only lasted for a moment and soon disappeared. Back to normal.
But Lu Yu in the distance didn't feel so good. The young man who was thinking about where to find vegetable seeds was also hit by this inexplicable energy. The expression on his face froze for an instant, and he instinctively held his head with both hands, feeling painful. Fall to your knees.
"Fuck
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, what is going on, my head hurts..."
A large amount of cold sweat suddenly broke out from his forehead, dripping down his thin face to the floor. The pain in Lu Yu's head did not seem to come and go as quickly as Xiao Ran's, but remained at a constant level. Frequency that broke him.
If it weren't for Lu Yu's strong willpower, he might have blacked out and died the moment the pain hit him.
"Lu Yu!"
Xiaoran whispered in his mouth, immediately dropped the book in his hand, and wanted to step forward to check Lu Yu's situation.
But before the little Loli could get closer, large black blood vessels appeared on Lu Yu's neck!
These blood vessels quickly climbed up to Lu Yu's face from bottom to top, and then spread out like branches, forming a dense black spider web on the young man's face.
Lu Yu still hugged his head and screamed, not noticing the change on his face at all.
"Why do these black blood vessels appear again? Shouldn't Lu Yu be immune to viral infection? Is it because the tap water still contains the virus after boiling?"
Questions appeared in Xiaoran's mind one after another, but the situation was urgent now and she could not think too much. If there was something wrong with Lu Yu, her hope of being alone in this apocalyptic world would be shattered.
"How are you doing?"
Holding Lu Yu's shoulders, the little Loli grabbed the rope on the dining table, and without waiting for Lu Yu's response, she directly wrapped it around his hand, trying to restrict the other person's movements.
"It hurts, it hurts, my head hurts so much!"
Lu Yu yelled at the top of his lungs, his words a little blurry due to the severe pain, but he could still feel the great pain he was suffering from the hysterical tone.
At the same time, a roar that did not sound like a human voice also sounded in the community. The sources of the sound were from all directions, and some even came from above their house. It seemed that a violent and bloodthirsty beast had awakened above the ceiling.
The roars one after another lasted for a full ten seconds, and then slowly subsided, but the changes were far from ending at this moment.
Just after the last roar that could be caught by the ears disappeared, a series of clicking sounds were like a rolling wave, gathering into Xiao Ran's ears.
"Is this the sound of opening the door?!"
The little Loli quickly heard the source of the sound. This clicking sound was the sound of the circlip in the door lock. However, in the past, this sound was very slight. Even if it came out, it would only be a small sound. A single sound would not attract much attention.
But the clicking sounds coming now can only mean one result.
In this community, many doors were opened at the same time!
As if it was an appointment, the sound of the door opening like a pipa in the rain disappeared in an instant, and a second-long silence ushered in the Blue Moon Garden Community.
Deadly silence, but more like a sign of an approaching storm!
Lu Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, was still holding his head, but the expression on his face had gradually relaxed, and he was breathing heavily. It seemed that he was relieved from the pain.
"F-fuck, it really hurts me..."
As Lu Yu spoke again, the spider veins on his face quickly disappeared and disappeared into his body, as if they had never appeared before...
