Chapter 162 New Changes
City N, District Y, and Blue Moon Garden Community.
Lu Yu and Xiao Ran sat at the dining table, with half a pot of boiled tap water in front of them.
Since the drinking water reserves at home were in urgent need of emergency, the two decided to boil the tap water and use it as a source of drinking water after discussion.
But whether the high temperature of 100 degrees Celsius can effectively kill the virus in tap water was not sure, so they had to boil it first and do an experiment.
Nearly half an hour had passed since the water was boiling. Lu Yu took out an electronic thermometer and inserted it into half a 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, take the rope and aspirin, and let me try this poisonous water today!"
Lu Yu waved his big hand very exaggeratedly and ordered.
After a while, Xiao Ran took out a solid clothesline from the study, tied Lu Yu's wrist firmly to the table legs, and placed a small piece of aspirin in front of Lu Yu.
"Hurry up, Uncle Lu Yu, all the flowers I'm waiting for have faded."
The little loli blinked her beautiful strange-colored pupils and opened the half of her book she had just seen and started reading it again. She seemed to be not concerned about Lu Yu's need to drink water at all.
"Hey, what's your attitude? I'm the leader and take risks. Do you treat pioneers who are brave enough to explore with this attitude?"
When Xiao Ran heard this, she just rolled her eyes at the ceiling, and her small nose wrinkled, and did not pay attention to Lu Yu's whisper.
After pouring the boiling water from the pot into a porcelain bowl, Lu Yu blew it up in peace and tried the temperature with his lips. After confirming that it would not burn his mouth, he started drinking in small sips.
After drinking the tap water from the porcelain bowl, Lu Yu began to sit on the chair with his whole body straight, staring at the blank wall in front of him, looking like a primary school student listening carefully.
"Uncle Lu Yu, why do you have to sit so well? Could it be that it is because there is a better way to die when the virus is infected later?"
Xiao Ran, who was reading a book, accidentally glanced at Lu Yu sitting upright and couldn't help but tease him.
"What do children know about every family? I feel the changes in my body wholeheartedly. What can I never die? Tong Yanwuji, poop..."
Although Lu Yu said this, he seemed to mind Xiao Ran saying this, but his face was not unhappy at all, but he was filled with a faint smile.
After another half an hour, seeing that Lu Yu was still in his original state and there was no discomfort on his body, Xiao Ran untied the rope tied to Lu Yu's hand and restored Lu Yu's freedom.
Although the reactions of this level of virus in different people are different, it is like Xu Xiaoxiao will quickly develop zombie symptoms after drinking tap water, but Yao Peiqing will not attack after a while.
But Lu Yu had also been infected once before. Judging from the situation at that time, the secondary virus would 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 only observed for half an hour and saw that Lu Yu's body temperature had not changed, so she untied the rope with confidence.
"Sure enough, high temperatures can effectively kill secondary viruses in the water, so that the tap water at home can become a reserve for 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 to live until the end of the year.
Hearing Lu Yu say this, Xiao Ran, who is beside him, raised his head from the book and said with a hint of teasing.
"Someone seemed to be so cowardly before. She kept trying to go downstairs to collect mineral water, but she didn't dare to try to boil natural water..."
"Can that be called coward? That is called cautious! Do you understand cautiously? Be careful to sail for a thousand years, what do you know, little kid..."
Lu Yu cursed, but he was in a good mood. The water source problem that was bothering him was solved, and his family had enough food reserves, so there was no need to worry about supplies in the short term.
"I have an idea, we have to make some vegetables..."
Touching his nose, Lu Yu said.
Although the main food and drinking water have been solved, the home is still lacking in high-protein foods and fresh vegetables.
Although there are sealed dried vegetables in the supermarket, the quantity is very limited. Even if Lu Yu searched all the surrounding supermarkets, it still could not meet daily needs.
Of course, this daily life refers to a normal diet, not to maintain survival.
"Do you still want to grow vegetables? Even if you can plant it in the flower bed downstairs, you don't have a place to find vegetable seeds, right?"
This time, Xiao Ran did not raise her head from the book, but just spoke lightly.
She knew the reason why Lu Yu wanted to stay in the Blue Moon Garden community until the end of the year, and everything was because of the information left by the time traveler named Zhang Heng.
Originally, Xiao Ran thought that even if he did not follow Ma Long and the others to the shelter, he should have changed places to leave the community as soon as possible.
After all, this place belongs to the city, and many resources are supplied by external sources. Once the doomsday comes, order collapses, and it is difficult to build a self-sufficiency refuge fortress without anyone maintaining it.
What's more, there are a large number of zombies in the city.
Although most of these zombies were locked in the house and could not open the door independently, there were still many zombies wandering on the street, which would pose a huge threat to the collection of supplies when going out.
"It is better to clear the threats around you. Secondly, build a relatively safe shelter and collect materials step by step..."
Just as Xiao Ran was concentrating on how to develop in the future, the air that had been in a quiet state suddenly vibrated. The feeling was very slight, but she still couldn't escape Xiao Ran's keen insight.
"Hmm? What's going on..."
The little loli raised her head alertly and looked towards the window without any goal.
The feeling of air vibration just now was very wonderful, like the ripples that a stone fell into the lake, spreading rapidly around, and could only feel the direction of the coming, but could not accurately determine the specific location.
"Well, it hurts..."
A tingling sensation came from Xiao Ran's mind, as if someone was holding a steel needle and stabbing her brain hard. Although the pain was very severe, it lasted for only a moment and soon returned to normal.
But Lu Yu in the distance was not so good. The young man who was thinking about where to look for vegetable seeds was also impacted by this inexplicable energy. The expression on his face froze instantly. He instinctively hugged his head and knelt on the ground in pain.
"Damn, what's going on, my head hurts so much..."
A cold sweat as big as bean suddenly emerged from his forehead and dripped along his thin face to the floor. The pain in Lu Yu's mind did not seem to be as fast as Xiao Ran, but maintained at a frequency that made him collapse.
If Lu Yu had not had strong willpower, he might have fainted when the pain hit.
"Lu Yu!"
Xiao Ran exclaimed softly, immediately threw down the book in her hand, and wanted to go forward to check Lu Yu's situation.
However, before the little loli could approach, large pieces of black blood vessels appeared on Lu Yu's neck!
These blood vessels quickly climbed to Lu Yu's face from bottom to top, and then separated like branches, just like a dense black spider web formed on the young man's face.
Lu Yu still cried with headaches, not sensation at all.
"Why did this black blood vessel appear again? Shouldn't Lu Yu be immune to virus infection? Could it be that the tap water after boiling still contains viruses?"
Questions came to Xiao Ran's mind one after another, but the situation is urgent now, and she can't think too much. If Lu Yu really had any problems, her hopes for the end of the world alone would be shattered.
"How are you?"
Holding Lu Yu's shoulder, the little loli grabbed the rope on the dining table. Without waiting for Lu Yu to answer, she directly wrapped it in his hand, trying to limit the other party's movements.
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much, my head hurts so much!"
Lu Yu shouted loudly, his words blurred because of the severe pain, but from the hysterical tone, he could still feel that he was suffering great pain at this time.
At the same time, a roar that was not like a human voice sounded in the community. The sound came from all directions, and some even came from above their houses. It seemed that a violent and bloodthirsty beast had awakened above the ceiling.
The roars continued for a full ten seconds before slowly fading away, but the changes were far from over at this moment.
Just as the last roar that could be caught in the ear disappeared, a number of clicking sounds were like rolling waves, gathering into Xiao Ran's ears.
"This is the sound of opening the door?!"
The little loli quickly heard the source of the sound. The crackling sound was the sound of the spring in the door lock hitting. However, in the past, this sound was very slight. Even if it was made, it was just a small sound and would not attract much attention.
But the crackling sounds coming from now only mean one result.
In this community, many doors were opened at the same time!
It was like an appointment, the sound of the door opening of the rain playing the pipa disappeared in an instant, and a second of silence was ushered in the Blue Moon Garden community.
Dead silence, but more like a sign of a storm coming!
Lu Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, still hugged his head, but the expression on his face had gradually soothed, and he was breathing heavily, as if he had relieved from the pain.
"Huh, haha, it hurts so much..."
Chapter completed!
