Chapter 16: Changes in Watermelons
Tingling and tingling sensations lingered in him, and in the unknown room, the boy moaned incessantly. The watermelon pulled herself out of the twin buildings and ran for a long time, until she couldn't run anymore and smashed through the wall and put herself in the corner of the room.
The boy who woke up from the coma was immediately overwhelmed by the pain, and the extensive skin burns made every inch of his skin look like insects gnawing at it. And next to him was a steel bar with blood lying there. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the steel bar that crosses the belly of the watermelon. The watermelon lies in front of the wall that it has broken through to prevent anything from coming in. Although looking at his current condition, even if there are walking corpses coming, there is no strength left to fight.
The huge figure, which was one and a half meters tall, shrank there and trembled continuously, and there were traces of walking corpse bites everywhere all over his body, and the most serious left front leg even had only a bone left. Blood from his abdomen stained the ground beneath the watermelon. An indescribable emotion swirled in his heart. I almost forgot how many times I had cried in the past two days, encountered too many things, and endured the stinging pain of my respiratory tract and kept taking deep breaths. The lungs, respiratory tract, bronchial tubes, etc. should have been burned by the hot air. As the breathing fluctuates worsen, the pain becomes more and more pronounced.
Fortunately, the time is very short, and if the burn is a little more serious, it is estimated that you will have to wait for death, but now the large-scale skin burns are also a significant decrease in your own immunity, and like watermelon, you can only rely on the body's own recovery to carry it, in case you get inflammation or something, everything will be over.
After understanding his own situation, Yue Xian looked around within the limits of allowability, it looked like it should be an empty house, and the ground could not be seen from the broken wall, it should not be the first floor, "I don't know how long the watermelon has been running with me." "Looking at the fact that there are several apartments with similar architectural styles outside, I should have been taken to a certain community by watermelons.
As time passed, it was estimated that the pain nerves were numb, and the piercing pain became bearable, and the unseemly moaning no longer continued to float through the room. The sun was about to set, and the watermelon was still lying there shivering, with no intention of waking up, but thankfully the bleeding in the abdomen had stopped, and it seemed that the wound was healing itself.
The fierce summer sun became weak, but the stuffiness in the air had not disappeared, and various symptoms such as nausea, weakness, and numbness in the limbs appeared on his body, and the boy just frowned and endured quietly, like a watermelon squatting on the edge of the wall. Silently fighting, leaving every trace of strength to restore himself.
It is strange that the watch has not spoken until now, but he does not have the extra strength to call the other person, and the watch has made it clear in the supermarket that he will not be able to cure people without medical supplies.
The blood-colored sunset shone through the big hole in the wall, Yue Xian's entire vision was dyed red, there was no plane in the sky, thousands of miles of red glow covered the sky, and on the ground were tirelessly wandering walking corpses, if it weren't for being in it, it is estimated that many sullen poets would have to write a poem.
Maybe it's because I've been lying down for a long time, my head is starting to become drowsy, and my mind is starting to dull. And the watermelon also began to change at this time, as the sun fell, the blood water coagulated on the white hair began to melt, like water droplets dripping on the umbrella, and kept sliding down, under the faint moonlight of the crescent moon, the long hair of the watermelon seemed to shimmer with silver and became dazzling. The trembling body gradually calmed down, his breathing became long and powerful, and he faintly heard the sound of the watermelon's heart beating against the ground.
"Great, you're fine." Seeing all these changes, Yue Xian had this thought in his mind before he fell unconscious.
Although he couldn't be sure how long he had been asleep, the blinding sunlight told him that it was undoubtedly noon. The injury, which could not have been healed without treatment, miraculously improved overnight, and the red skin became black at this time, but it finally did not have the constant stinging pain that I had yesterday. Although I don't know if it's a good omen, but at this time, I don't have the sting that drives people crazy to make me satisfied, and there is no extra leisure to care about this as to whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Although his physical condition is still very bad, he finally has the ability to barely move. Watermelon woke up early in the morning, although he lost his left front leg, most of the injuries on his body have healed, and he has to be amazed, "Could it be that the physical abilities of the people in the last days have become stronger?" Such a thought popped up in Yue Xian's head.
At the same time, the words of the middle-aged man yesterday came to mind again, and the slightly better mood was corrupted in an instant. "Humans don't survive on these things." Lightly said something that he couldn't say yesterday, and then patted the watermelon's head, "Thank you yesterday." ”
"Wang!" After screaming at Yue Xian, he squatted on the ground and looked at Yue Xian with his red tongue. Unlike the watermelons that are already very good, Yue Xian is now even a little difficult to walk. When I walked to the wall, I found that I almost fell down with a weak leg when I was on the fourth floor. Watermelon, who was seriously injured yesterday, jumped directly to the fourth floor with herself, and smashed through the wall and entered the room. When he thought of this, Yue Xian began to congratulate himself that he hadn't died yesterday. In a way, it's still very tenacious.
"Let's go to the watermelon, let's see if there's anything to eat." Sticking to the watermelon, Yue Xian came to the front of the door of the room, leaned on the door and listened for a long time before carefully opening the door after confirming that there was no moving object outside. Every time he saw the injured front leg of the watermelon, Yue Xian further realized his shortcomings. In the past, there were various systems to protect themselves, but now they can only rely on themselves.
There was only the sound of himself and the watermelon in the empty and silent corridor, and to Yue Xian's disappointment, there were many corpses of walking corpses in the corridor, and most of the doors were open, and this apartment should have been collectively searched by the survivors.
Holding the mentality that the other party would not handle the entire apartment, Yue Xian climbed to the upper floor with the help of watermelons, and saw the corpses of the walking corpses in the corridor without exception. Yue Xian also noticed something. It is possible that the other party is not a survivor who came here to look for food, but someone who lives in the apartment himself, and the entire apartment has been cleared out one after another in the past five days.
There were no survivors' corpses along the way, all of them were corpses of walking corpses mutated by radiation, and the building had a very efficient and powerful team of survivors.
After thinking about it in the corridor for a long time, Yue Xian came to such a conclusion, if it was that guy yesterday, he should be able to see more clues, and if he had no way to surpass him at this point, the next time he met a similar person, he would probably really die at that time.
The idea of becoming stronger kept coming to mind, and I looked at the corners again, but there was only so much information I could get. "No, with my current experience, it's a waste of time to continue to spend here."
By the time the teenager realized this, hunger could already be said to dominate him. Even my hands and feet began to tremble with hunger. In this situation of no progress, weakness and hunger finally triumphed, obviously feeling that they could hold on for a while, but in the next moment, their vision suddenly darkened, and then the whole person lost the support of his strength and fell to the ground.
In a blur of consciousness, he felt a warm, viscous liquid constantly passing down his throat and into his stomach. The soft touch of jelly wrapped around his lips, and the food carefully passed through the gentle touch.
The body instinctively realized that this was what it needed, and its lips unconsciously opened and closed, hoping to get more things. But I vaguely heard a crimson exclamation. It's like a timid meow when you see a cat in a stranger.
Finally got a little replenishment, and the body slowly woke up. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a clean and tidy room, and the quilt still had a unique scent of sunlight. A beautiful girl beside the bed was looking at her with a flushed face. Her long black hair, like an ink painting, is scattered directly behind him, and her milky white skin seems to have been stimulated by something that has brought on a lovely cherry color. The delicate and dignified facial features are so beautiful that they give people a sense of unreality. The yellow-white blouse with a dark blue pleated skirt and a light blue shawl on the outside, the girl is as bright as a flawless full moon, beautiful and moving.
Because Yue Xian, who woke up, was stunned by the girl's beauty, which made the other party even more embarrassed, and after a long time, he said like a kitten: "You woke up." ”
"Ahh Yue Xian, who realized that he was out of shape, scratched his head, and the watermelon screamed "Wang" on the side, as if complaining that the boy woke up but didn't notice him.
"Well, it's okay, just wake up." As he spoke, he handed the lean porridge in his hand to Yue Xian.
"Thank you." When she took the bowl, the contact between her fingers made the girl immediately take her hand back, the soft touch had a sense of déjà vu, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand and touched her lips, and the girl saw Yue Xian's actions and her whole face was immediately dyed with a layer of red, and hurriedly explained: "No, that, that, you just closed your mouth very solidly, and you can't feed it with a spoon." That's why I'm ......."
It was as if all the courage had been exhausted and there was no way to finish the words, so he finally got up and ran out. At this time, the young man, who also realized what was happening, also had a slight red on his swarthy cheeks. A warmth that I have never felt before penetrated into my heart. So much so that the boy laughed stupidly at the big dog on the side.
