More than two weeks have passed, and the food in Zhang Xu's quantum device is actually enough for him to last for another three weeks, but there is not much water left, and it is only enough to last for a few days, which is very troublesome.
I learned from the radio that this virus is infected by human DNA. There is a 91.6% chance of being infected into a zombie that eats people. Although it is not 100%, basically no one will seek death. Other animals and plants only have a 5.73% chance of being infected. However, experts said that after the virus is diluted by nature, there is only a small chance of infection when exposed to the virus, and there is a high chance of infection only after taking it. Therefore, the water source problem is Zhang Xu's biggest problem.
There was no way, without the help of water, the source of life, Zhang Xu had to find a way to search for mineral water to save himself.
The power went out just a week ago, but Zhang Xu's quantum instrument can be said to have a quantum power plant.
With the microwave heating of the quantum device, you can take out the wax from the can and eat it with a chewy taste. These days, you eat all these cans.
There was a clang, clang, and a rustling sound. Zhang Xu knelt on the sofa and kept tapping the window.
"Hey, is there anyone?" Zhang Xu has been repeating this kind of thing these days. Feeling chilled, Zhang Xu hugged his arms tightly. The cold air made him sober as never before.
Why did the neighbors who used to be amiable and friendly greet each other through the windows, now why are they all huddled at home and drawing the curtains tightly? Is it because there are more frightening zombies?
Although there were indeed survivors in the opposite building, they did not dare to open the windows. One more thing was better than one less thing. They would rather starve to death than open the curtains to communicate. Originally, Zhang Xu wanted to exchange the food in his hands for water, but there was no way. He must go out and find water!
"Remember this end of the world, put away your kindness, Zhang Xu! Your life and death are not as important as a bag of bread, hahaha..." Zhang Xu looked up at the ceiling for a long time, his empty eyes seemed to have lost their former luster, and he giggled alone.
But Zhang Xu is still an ordinary high school student from beginning to end, and kindness is still engraved in his mind. This is difficult to erase, but over time, the people Zhang Xu harbors fantasies about will be like cold water, pouring on the top of his head, slowly erasing his cognition!
…
After devouring the food, he started to work. He took out a hammer, a vise and a saw from the tool box, put the kitchen fruit knife in his trouser pocket, and took out the books in his schoolbag.
"Huh?" Zhang Xu saw some protective gear from the corner. This was Zhang Xu's bicycle helmet, hand and wrist guards, etc. Of course, they were all worn by Zhang Xu when he first learned to ride a bicycle.
Except for the helmet, I can barely put it on.
Zhang Xu also thought about it and tried not to expose the ultimate quantum device in front of others in the future. He put on his schoolbag, flashlight, mobile phone power bank and the like, and went to the top floor platform first.
Entering the corridor, there was only a ray of light coming from the top of the building in the dark and gloomy corridor. The power had stopped. I carefully turned on the flashlight and only heard the low roar of zombies coming from downstairs. It was probably in the corridor between the 5th and 6th floors. Zhang Xu stood on tiptoe cautiously, and he did not dare to close the door, for fear that the small closing sound might attract zombies.
Zhang Xu immediately jumped up to the top floor platform and gently pushed open the small door to the top floor. There was a creak and a harsh sound. Zhang Xu immediately lay down on the stairs and looked at the zombies below. Fortunately, they were not there. It was really a false alarm. He was afraid that the zombies below would hear the movement. Zhang Xu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and finally went to the roof.
As before going up to the top floor, there was still some snow and a utility room. After looking through it, there was nothing useful, but there was an iron door frame that caught Zhang Xu's attention.
Zhang Xu knew that the hallway of his house was blocked by several zombies, so he could only look at the situation on the opposite floor. The opposite floor was about 3 meters away from Zhang Xu's building. If he put the door frame on the upper floor, he could climb over.
If the corridor opposite doesn't work, you can still go back and just do it.
Zhang Xu found a few more rusty ones in the debris pile on the top floor. He used a vise to clamp the door frame several times, and fixed it on an abandoned table. He fixed it until he stepped on it to see if it could bear his weight. After all, this was twelve years old. Lou, if it’s not safe, it’s better not to do such a risky thing.
In fact, others have asked why it is so troublesome to reach the opposite side in one sprint and one jump when it is more than 3 meters long. But think about it, it's been snowing on the top floor now, and the surface is slippery with snow. He probably slipped before he even took off. Moreover, Zhang Xu is a standard fat house. Can he jump over a distance of 3 meters?
It took Zhang Xu half an hour to barely reach the opposite floor, but the opposite floor gave Zhang Xu a surprise. The people on the top floor were actually growing vegetables in the utility room, and they were the kind of tomatoes and cucumbers that can be eaten directly. Half of the room was covered with plastic film. The house is very warm.
In the 23rd century, due to the large population and insufficient housing area, there are these large-scale soilless cultivation bases, which do not require too many farmers to work. Therefore, most people now do not know how to grow vegetables. Zhang Xu did not expect to grow vegetables. Can eat vegetables grown in soil.
Zhang Xu salivated when he saw these vegetables. He immediately picked a tomato, rubbed it on his clothes, picked it up and ate it. He had not eaten vegetables for a long time, and he ate it happily. The sweet and sour tomato juice flowed into his mouth in less than half a minute. I just ate one, picked another cucumber, wiped it on my clothes and started chewing it, clicking, clicking.
After eating, it was time to check in the corridor opposite, and put these fresh vegetables into the quantum device. After all, there were few zombies in the entrance of the corridor opposite Zhang Xu. It would be best if there were no zombies.
Gently opening the door, there were no zombies, so Zhang Xu walked down quietly. Since there was an elevator, almost no one would go down the corridor to the safety exit. Every safety exit was open, and the emergency power supply inside flashed green. There is a dim light to prevent fire, and one meter away from the safety exit is the residence of the residents. The doors are built opposite each other, and next to it is the elevator. Due to the power outage, the elevator has already closed its door.
When he reached the 8th floor, Zhang Xu saw that one of the doors was covered with blood. The blood had dried, and there was a piece of minced meat on the ground. This was scarier than a horror movie. Zhang Xu smelled the smell of blood, and cold air rose from his toes. When I got to the back, my back was wet. The door was already half-open, and the low roars of zombies could be heard from inside, more than a meter away.
Zhang Xu held his breath and immediately stepped back, not daring to breathe out for fear that the zombies' sense of smell would smell human flesh.
On the top floor, Zhang Xu was like an ant on a hot pot, crawling back from the opposite floor. If he couldn't think of any way, he had to kill the zombies on the 8th floor, so Zhang Xu returned home first. After all, there were too few things to use. , so he could only break into other citizens' homes to find things to use.
In order to prevent zombies from rushing up, Zhang Xu blocked all the chairs, sofas, and tables in the corridor of the safety exit on the 10th floor. Zhang Xu can safely search the 11th and 12th floors. This way, even if the door is broken, the zombies may not rush in. After being infected, although the strength is 1.5 times that of an adult, ordinary wooden tables and sofas cannot be destroyed.
Zhang Xu simply blocked the closet and refrigerator in the corridor. After doing this, Zhang Xu collapsed on the floor, gasping for air. After resting, he started to pick the lock. After all, the security door of the community is really difficult to pick, and there is only a keyhole. , don’t even think about seeing any screws.
This is hard to do for Zhang Xu. After all, he is just an outstanding high school student. Who knows how to pick a lock?
If you hit it hard with a hammer, the door probably won't open and the zombies will block it first.
On TV, you can see that the iron wire can be opened by just touching it. It’s not like Zhang Xu has never tried it before. Is it so easy?
There is a mini lens on the Bluetooth headset for observation. Zhang Xu immediately asked: "Xiao An, analyze it, is there any way to break open this security door?" Zhang Xu's wisdom is limited after all, and he needs to brainstorm to come up with a better solution. Method.
"According to data analysis, there is a liquid nitrogen manufacturing machine in Space 6. The owner can use liquid nitrogen to break open the safety door." Xiao An is indeed a highly intelligent system, and he immediately came up with a solution. (Liquid nitrogen means that nitrogen is in a liquid state. As for why air turns into liquid, it is because when the temperature reaches a certain degree, nitrogen turns into liquid. Therefore, the temperature of liquid nitrogen is extremely low. When it touches iron, the iron will turn into liquid. It is extremely brittle and breaks when knocked.)
"Liquid nitrogen, that's good." Zhang Xu made almost 500 ml of liquid nitrogen in less than half an hour. In fact, the instruments in Space 6 are equipped with liquid nitrogen manufacturing machines for cooling, and are used for refrigeration in the quantum power station. unit.
Zhang Xu put on special gloves and poured water on the lock cylinder. Not long after, Zhang Xu used a hammer to smash open the glass-like lock, and the door opened naturally.
As soon as I entered the door, I felt like the New Year. The word "spring" and the word "福" came into view, and all kinds of window grilles filled the entire living room.
Since when the virus broke out, he would visit his relatives during the Chinese New Year, and this neighbor was probably no exception. Zhang Xu happily found a lot of food. After counting, there were 3 boxes of eight-treasure porridge, 2 boxes of yogurt, 3 boxes of Wang Laoji, and 6 boxes of biscuits. , 2 baskets of fruits, 3 boxes of vacuum-packed beef, 5 large bags of spiced peanuts and 5 large bags of buttered melon seeds. These were all found on the living room table. Anyway, there are 50 cubic meters in space 7, and there is not much water in it. , this is a timely rain for Zhang Xu.
Thirty pounds of dried bacon and a few sausages came into Zhang Xu's sight. When he entered the kitchen, Zhang Xu also saw two huge carp, which had been sprinkled with salt and were being dried. In line with the principle of not wasting, he also bought them from the refrigerator. I found many bags of quick-frozen dumplings and mutton, and of course dozens of pieces of white steamed buns. Anyway, the time flow rate in space 7 is prohibited, so these things will not spoil if left in the refrigerator. Finally, I found a few bags of dried fungus, dried Xianggu and the like. Vegetables, as for fresh vegetables, Zhang Xu didn't see them. There was also a large pot of rapeseed oil, along with a bottle of vinegar and a few bags of salt.
Just as Zhang Xu was immersed in joy, he had no idea that there was a dark shadow at the door of the living room, slowly approaching.
