As Lu Yu turned the car key in his hand, the engine that had been silent for a long time roared, and the silver-gray car body trembled slightly, ready to leave at any time.
"Are you all wearing your seat belts?"
Lu Yu stroked the steering wheel with his palms, and adjusted the rearview mirror repeatedly in a somewhat morbid manner.
Although he actually got his driver's license, it was three years ago. Because his workplace was not far from home, Lu Yu's chances of driving a car in the past three years were almost zero.
Although I feel confident to start driving now, my mind is still filled with nervousness.
"Um, it's fastened..."
Looking at the rough Lu Yu, Zhang Tiehua pulled the seat belt on his chest and swallowed.
"Brother Lu, I want to ask you something..."
Yu Libo, who was sitting side by side with Zhang Tiehua in the back, spoke tremblingly, with a look even more nervous than Lu Yu's.
"Say something quickly."
As if he was dissatisfied with his familiarization with the vehicle being interrupted, Lu Yu responded with a hint of impatience.
"Okay, Brother Lu, don't you usually drive a lot..."
Yu Libo shrank his neck, like a frightened chicken.
"No, I usually drive to and from get off work. Why, don't you trust my driving skills?"
Making random nonsense seems to be Lu Yu's passive skill. Even if the lie he tells is so false, he will not feel any psychological burden.
"Haha... It's not that I don't trust your driving skills, it's that I don't trust what you say..."
Zhang Tiehua's face twitched and he secretly complained in his heart.
When Yu Libo heard Lu Yu's answer, he quickly shook his head, indicating that he was just asking a question without any suspicion.
The car fell into silence again, with only Lu Yu carefully distinguishing the function buttons on the driver's seat.
"This is the direction light...this is the wiper...Hey, what is this...oh...it turns out to be a gear button. This car is a bit advanced. It doesn't even have a manual gear shift..."
After thinking about it for about five minutes, Lu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands on the steering wheel, and turned on the vehicle's headlights.
A bright white light instantly filled the front, as if everything had fallen into place. As soon as the young man stepped on the accelerator, the vehicle would speed away, taking the four people to the Siming Mountain shelter.
But at this moment, Lu Yu's somewhat uncertain voice came again.
"Eh...that's weird, why can't this car start..."
Lu Yu's gentle movements of his right foot gradually turned into a sharp pedaling, but the vehicle still only trembled slightly, and there was no roar of the accelerator.
"Xiao Ran, is your dad's car broken down?"
Lu Yu immediately cast a questioning look at the little Lolita in the co-pilot, and with his constant stepping movements, he looked quite funny.
"Brother Lu...did you step on the wrong one...the one on the far right is the accelerator, and the one on the left is the brake, and you didn't even put down the handbrake..."
Yu Libo couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him in a low voice.
"Ah hahaha, of course I know, I was just testing you on purpose. Yu Libo answered well, hahaha..."
Lu Yu smiled awkwardly and quietly put down the handbrake.
Probably because of the previous hard pedaling, Lu Yu, who was distracted, failed to control the strength of his feet for a moment. He stepped hard, the car body suddenly rushed forward, and the engine roared crazily.
"Fuck!!!"
There was a sudden exclamation in the closed carriage.
Lu Yu's reaction ability is also very fast. He saw that the car was about to hit the wall.
He hit the car head-on and immediately released the accelerator and stepped on the brakes. He stopped suddenly and avoided the tragedy of car crash and death.
"Brother Lu! Brother Lu!! How about I do it? You've worked hard to find medicine for us. Just have a good rest..."
Although he was sitting in the back row, Yu Libo's head still came into close contact with the cushion of the front seat. Fortunately, the car cushions Xiaoran's father, Da Beitou, bought before his death were relatively soft, otherwise he would have knocked out two front teeth. .
After thoroughly confirming that Lu Yu was a street killer, Yu Libo immediately gave his own advice.
"Are you going to drive? This won't work..."
The gear was changed in his hand, and the reversing light behind the car suddenly turned on. The red light reflected on the pale yellow carpet all over the wall, revealing a different kind of weirdness.
On the wall directly opposite the rear of the car, the carpet slowly bulged, and its thickness was obviously much higher than the surrounding area.
However, no one in the car noticed the changes behind the car.
Yu Libo, Zhang Tiehua and Xiao Ran naturally focused their attention on the road killer Lu Yu, watching him operate the vehicle in fear.
Lu Yu's attention was completely focused on the steering wheel. The nervousness of touching the car for the first time even made him forget to check the rearview mirror when reversing.
Hearing Lu Yu's rejection, Yu Libo wanted to say something, but suddenly he felt an irresistible wave of sleepiness hit his brain, making him feel as if he was drunk and dizzy.
"Uh... I'm so sleepy... I need to take a nap..."
The irresistible sleepiness reaction was like an overwhelming flood, swallowing up Yu Libo's mind in an instant.
"Libo? Libo, what's wrong with you?!"
Seeing Yu Libo almost fell into a coma and fell asleep, Zhang Tiehua's vigilance was immediately raised to the highest level.
The first possibility that came to this Northeastern man's mind was that there was something wrong with the medicine Lu Yu gave them!
"Hey, look, this is why I said I can't let you drive. If you fall asleep in the middle of driving, won't all of us in the car follow you and drift along with the hearse?"
Lu Yu, who lacked empathy, was completely unaware of Zhang Tiehua's inner changes. He glanced at the sleepy Yu Libo and began to reverse the car seriously.
"Lu Yu, is there something wrong with the medicine you gave me? What happened to Yu Libo?"
Seeing that the other party had no intention of explaining, Zhang Tiehua immediately asked.
"There should be no problem with him, but you'd better tie him up with a rope, otherwise when the immunity fails and turns into a zombie, you will definitely be the first to be bitten..."
Lu Yu's poker face was expressionless, but his words frightened Zhang Tiehua.
"What do you mean? Didn't Yu Libo take the medicine you gave him? How could he turn into a zombie? Is the medicine you gave him fake?"
"Hey, please don't frame a good person. The medicine must be real, but I can't guarantee its effectiveness..."
"Although several people who took the medicine previously were successfully immune to the secondary virus..."
First, he loudly refuted Zhang Tiehua's doubts, and then Lu Yu added in a low voice.
In fact, judging from their previous medication performance, Xu Xiaoxiao, Zhang Jike, Ma Long, Xiao Ran and Lu Yu, who were infected by the virus and took aspirin in time, were all successfully immune to the secondary virus.
Therefore, it stands to reason that the probability of Zhang Tiehua and Yu Libo being successfully immune after taking the medicine should be relatively high.
But Lu Yu couldn't guarantee it. Maybe they were just lucky enough to be immune before, and they might have won the favor of the goddess of probability.
"What the hell do you mean! Make it simple!"
Because it was impossible to judge the authenticity of the other party's words from the expression on Lu Yu's face, Zhang Tiehua had no choice but to suppress the irritability and panic in his heart and speak again.
"Let me tell you, it is normal for Yu Libo to fall into coma after taking medicine. Xiaoran and I also fell into a coma-like sleep after taking medicine."
"Judging from the previous examples of taking medicine, if a person infected with a secondary virus develops coma symptoms after taking medicine, it probably means that the immunity is half successful. When he wakes up, he can become a strengthener."
"The reason I say I'm not sure is because I'm not sure that drugs like aspirin can 100% inhibit secondary virus infection and prevent humans from turning into zombies."
"Instead of worrying about your colleagues, it's better to worry about yourself. You took the medicine before Yu Libo, but you didn't show any sleepiness. It's most likely that your immune system failed..."
Lu Yu patiently explained to Zhang Tiehua for the first time, while Xiao Ran looked at the young man beside him quietly, like a delicate rag doll.
"After a coma-like sleep, you can become a strengthener after waking up... There is no sleepiness reaction in my body, which means that the immunity has failed..."
Although he didn't want to believe it, Zhang Tiehua knew that everything the other party said was probably true.
"But, aren't you also contaminated with body fluids from zombies? Why don't you feel sleepy after taking the medicine?!"
As if grasping the last straw, Zhang Tiehua asked reluctantly.
"Nonsense, Xiaoran and I have already been infected with the virus once. Taking medicine again is just for safety reasons. According to my original guess, humans who are immune to viral infection and have become enhanced should be very difficult to be infected by the virus again."
Lu Yu rolled his eyes forward and said calmly.
The silver-gray car stopped slowly. In front of it was the entrance to the underground garage. From the driver's seat, the light was cut into pieces by the figures wandering back and forth at the entrance, like rhythmic water waves, being caught by the fish swimming below. Stir constantly.
They wanted to rush into the basement, but there seemed to be some invisible force blocking the way, preventing these greedy predators from even taking a step inside.
"You have two choices before you now."
Lu Yu turned his head and glanced at Zhang Tiehua behind him.
"The first option is to get off the bus immediately. I will give you a bottle of water and two packets of biscuits as humanitarian aid."
The thin lips opened and closed, and almost cold sentences spat out from the young man's mouth, ruthlessly hitting the frightened Northeastern man.
"You want to drive me away?!"
Fear and anger mixed into unknown emotions, constantly fermenting in Zhang Tiehua's heart. From Lu Yu's perspective, the black blood vessels on this man's neck could not be more obvious.
As his emotions rolled over, they spread thinly and quickly towards his face.
"I'm not trying to drive you away, it's just a choice."
Facing Zhang Tiehua's question, Lu Yu's eyebrows were natural and he was not afraid at all.
He is not afraid of Zhang Tiehua's violent outburst and hurting others because he has a gun.
Moreover, Xiaoran had already used the gunshot to prove the authenticity of the pistol before. Zhang Tiehua could not be stupid enough to rely on his body to resist the firearm.
"The second option is to take a certain dose of aspirin, and then tie up your and Yu Libo's hands and feet. Only by restricting your movements can I safely let you two stay in the car."
As soon as the two choices were finished, Lu Yu turned his head and no longer looked at Zhang Tiehua behind him.
Xiao Ran, who remained quiet on the side, began to flip through the supply bag. After a while, he took out a bottle of aspirin and a small bundle of plastic clothesline.
Across the car seat, Xiaoran handed the two things to Zhang Tiehua, with a sweet smile on his pretty face.
"Uncle Huazi, do you need Xiaoran to help you..."
