"I hate you!"

Amid Zhang Ning's howling ghosts, a new day began again. Uncle Ni took the lead in opening the door to the study and yawned and walked out. The sleep time of the elderly is always short, and Uncle Ni, who is used to getting up early, is more

That's true.

Uncle Ni, who was originally treading lightly for fear of waking up others, was stunned when he saw the people busy in the living room. He touched his head, which had few hairs left, and said hello kindly.

"Good morning, young people, I'm going to cook for you."

As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and walked slowly into the kitchen.

In the past few days, the kitchen has almost become Uncle Ni's private domain. The old man even puts his own toiletries on the stove, which shows how much he loves cooking.

Lu Yu and the others naturally had no objection to this. Cooking itself was not very attractive to them young people. In addition, Uncle Ni's skills were really impressive, so everyone naturally recognized the old man's position as the master of cooking.

.

"Boss, please go and wash it first. It smells quite strong. Are you a little angry?"

Lu Yu untied Zhang Ning's body and said jokingly.

Zhang Ning, on the other hand, said nothing, covered his crotch with both hands, and rushed into the bathroom as if running away.

"Go and see how Ma Long and Zhang Jike are doing."

Seeing Zhang Ning rushing into the bathroom, Lu Yu also put away the smile on his face, calmly said to the two women behind him, and took the lead to walk towards the lying position.

Xu Xiaoxiao yawned and followed Lu Yu, but Xiao Ran did not follow immediately, but turned to look at the weather outside the window.

Although the heavy rain last night did not last long, the sky in the morning was still gloomy, as if it would rain at any time.

"This damn weather..."

Xiaoran muttered something in an undetectable voice. She didn't know if it was because of the weather or something else, but there was always a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart, and she felt that something was about to happen, and it wasn't a good thing.

"Lao Zhang? Are you awake?"

As soon as Lu Yu pushed the door open, he found that Zhang Jike had already sat up on the bed, looking as if he had just woken up.

"How does it feel?"

Seeing Zhang Jike waking up, Xu Xiaoxiao was also quite happy and asked quickly.

"Much better, but my head is still a little dizzy..."

Zhang Jike showed a tired smile to the two of them, cheered up and said.

"Where's Xiao Zhang? Is Xiao Zhang okay?"

Zhang Jike was obviously a little anxious when Zhang Ning was not seen. He had been in a state of confusion before and had no memory of what happened after the poisoning. He only remembered some scattered shouts and the scene of Lu Yu coming to save him.

"The boy is fine, don't worry."

Xu Xiaoxiao curled his lips and glanced towards the bathroom, indicating that Zhang Ning was taking a bath inside.

"It's okay, it's okay..." The tense expression on Zhang Jike's face suddenly relaxed a lot, he put his raised hand on his leg again, staring at Ma Long's injury in a daze.

As soon as Zhang Jike woke up, he found Ma Long lying next to him. Naturally, he immediately saw the bandage on his comrade's leg.

"Uh, is there water..."

As if being disturbed by everyone's voices, Ma Long also opened his eyes and asked weakly.

"I'll get it."

Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at Lu Yu and quickly walked out of the bedroom, just in time to meet Xiao Ran who entered the room.

"how are you feeling?"

Lu Yu stepped forward to ask about Ma Long's condition, but saw that the soldier's face was pale and he looked in very bad condition. He reached out to touch and found that his forehead was a little hot.

"It's okay, he won't die. As long as he lasts for one more day, communication will be restored tomorrow. As long as he is in contact with the team, this minor injury is nothing."

Ma Long grinned and looked relaxed.

"Phew, I feel so refreshed after taking a bath..."

As Ma Longzhen was talking, Zhang Ning's voice suddenly came from outside the room.

After a while, a shirtless young man appeared in front of the bedroom door with a towel on his head.

"Lao Zhang, Xiao Ma, you are awake, how do you feel?"

Zhang Ning's mouth was like a machine gun with the safety switch on. As long as he was conscious, he would not stop talking.

"I feel okay, it's just Xiaoma..."

When Zhang Jike saw it was Zhang Ning, a reassuring smile appeared on his face.

Although this young man who looks exactly like a soldier-level zombie is a talkative and somewhat unreliable, the dangerous experiences he has experienced in recent days have established a life-long friendship between them.

"What's wrong with Brother Ma?"

Zhang Ning held the towel in one hand and wiped it on his head repeatedly, then walked into the bedroom and came to Ma Long's side.

"I'm fine, I just feel a little weak. It's okay..."

Ma Long held on and said, trying his best to show that he was fine, but before he finished speaking, his breathing became disordered, which showed how weak his body was.

"Would you like to give Malone some aspirin..."

Lu Yu thought in his mind that although he knew that Ma Long's high fever was probably due to the wound on his leg, it would be bad if it was caused by a viral infection.

"Here comes the water!"

The girl was holding a glass of water and wanted to pass it to Ma Long on the bed, but after trying several times, Ma Long couldn't lift his arm at all, let alone straighten his body.

With the help of Zhang Jike and Lu Yu, the weak Ma Long finally sat up on the bed. Xu Xiaoxiao also handed the cup in his hand to Ma Long's mouth, preparing to feed him water, but Lu Yu frowned when he saw the well-developed tendons on Xu Xiaoxiao's arms.

He frowned and stopped the strong girl.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to get a straw. It's easy for him to choke if you feed him like this."

With that said, Lu Yu walked out of the room and went to the kitchen to look for a straw.

Seeing Lu Yu's thoughtful look, Xiao Ran followed Lu Yu out of the room like a little tail.

Sure enough, when Lu Yu was rummaging for straws in the debris pile next to the sofa, he asked in a low voice without looking back.

"Ma Long seems to have a fever. Although the cause may be wound infection, there is also a possibility of viral infection. Do you think I should feed him aspirin?"

So far, only Lu Yu, Xiao Ran and Xu Xiaoxiao know the secret of aspirin. Lu Yu has never thought of telling Ma Long about the magical effect of aspirin.

But whenever he had this idea, Xiaoran would quietly stop it, as if he could understand what Lu Yu was thinking.

"It can be saved, but you have to be prepared to be discovered. After all, Ma Long is from the military. In this environment, the government may not be as reliable as in peacetime."

Xiao Ran stared at the back of Lu Yu's head and said these words without any emotion that were completely inconsistent with her age.

"If they know the truth, they most likely won't do anything to you, but once they bring the news to the army, it will inevitably be spread widely."

"You will still have so much aspirin on you by then. You should understand the principle that ordinary people are not guilty but those who possess a jade are guilty."

The little Loli's words were so straightforward that Lu Yu knew his ending without even thinking.

"If I don't feed him, is it too risky to gamble on the probability of self-immunity after virus infection?"

Lu Yu buried his head very low, as if he was trying hard to check whether the straw was pressed down.

"Save, you are in danger; if you don't save, he is in danger."

Xiaoran said calmly, with only indifference in his blue and black eyes.

"I still say the same thing. The faith of soldiers is stronger than you think. It is impossible for them to keep secrets for you."

Lu Yu stopped and placed his hands on the edge of the sofa. He seemed tired and wanted to take a rest.

"You are right, and all aspects have been considered. If I save him, then I will become the target of public criticism."

Finally, after a minute-long pause, Lu Yu's deep voice sounded again.

"Go and prepare a rope to prevent him from hurting us after mutating."

When Lu Yu stood up again, a small plastic straw had appeared in Lu Yu's hand. He was pinching it with his index finger and thumb, while his other three fingers were close to the palm of his hand and did not stretch out.

"Your choice will harm you."

Xiaoran cast his gaze into the distance. The sky outside the window was still gloomy, as if the world would never be sunny again and would remain so gloomy.

"As long as you're fine."

Lu Yu turned around, smiled brightly at the little Lolita, and walked towards the bedroom where Ma Long was.

Just when Lu Yu was about to step into the bedroom door, Xu Xiaoxiao's voice came from the room, which caught his attention.

"Oh my God, the scales on your body have completely turned black, and there seem to be a lot more..."

Listening to the content, it was obvious that he was discussing the scales on his body with Zhang Ning. Lu Yu was slightly startled. His attention had been focused on Ma Long just now, and he had forgotten to observe the changes in Zhang Ning's body.

You know, Zhang Ning drank half a bucket of rainwater. According to his inference, there must be something fishy in the rainwater that made Zhang Ning react unconsciously.

Sure enough, after Lu Yu entered the room, the first thing he saw was the change in the scales on Zhang Ning's back.

The scales that had originally turned from white to gray have now turned dark, and there is even a faint layer of black light on the surface of the scales, making them look unusually hard.

The flesh-colored scales that originally covered the wounds on both shoulders have turned gray-white, and have calcified into new scales from their original calluses.

"This rain fruit is really effective for Zhang Ning!"

Lu Yu was overjoyed. If he had just tried it before to test the relationship between Zhang Ning and the virus, now he could basically conclude that Zhang Ning's body obtained the virus by continuously absorbing virus-rich substances.

Strengthening of oneself.

"Maybe in the future, we can really turn him into a complete zombie-level zombie."

The main reason why Lu Yu is so happy lies in the current situation.

Zhang Ning and he were like grasshoppers on the same rope. They were allies who would advance and retreat with him in a short period of time, and he was also his "boss". As his backer, the stronger Zhang Ning was, then as his younger brother

, naturally the chance of survival is higher.

"Boss, I'm not lying to you, the rain will definitely be good for you."

Lu Yu stepped forward and held Zhang Ning's shoulders, carefully examining the scales on the other backs.

"Brother Yu, if one family doesn't speak the same language, I won't say thank you or anything like that. From now on, I will protect you."

Zhang Ning seemed to be very satisfied with his current situation. He showed off his weak biceps, patted his chest and assured Lu Yu.

"Then I will have to rely more on you, boss..."

For a moment, the two of them laughed face to face, looking like they were collaborating together, and Xu Xiaoxiao had goosebumps all over his body.

"If you take this medicine, it will do some good to your injury."

After chatting with Zhang Ning for a while, Lu Yu turned around and came to Ma Long's bedside. He spread his palms and motioned for Ma Long to take the pills.

"What kind of medicine is this?"

Although Ma Long was weak, he still asked. This did not mean that he was wary of Lu Yu and others, it was just a subconscious question.

"Aspirin, you have a fever, this medicine can reduce the fever."

Lu Yu didn't explain much. He just inserted the straw into the cup and handed it to Ma Long along with the medicine.

Ma Long nodded slightly, opened his mouth and swallowed all the pills in Lu Yu's hand. After taking a few more puffs through the straw in his mouth, he collapsed softly on the bed.

Seeing that Ma Long had finished taking the medicine and drank the water, Lu Yu straightened up and said to Xiao Ran who had just entered the bedroom.
