Chapter 21: Mutation
Outside, in the community, there was originally a green tree lawn, I don't know when the trees were luxuriant, and the green grass was mostly half as tall as a person.
"What?" Du Yiyi didn't see a figure.
"The grass is taller, and the trees seem to be luxuriant." Cheng Jiayi said.
"What do you mean, the grass and trees have also mutated?" Du Yiyi was surprised.
The two glanced at each other. Look outside again and retreat to the couch.
Cheng Jiayi began to flip through the mobile phone, Du Yi turned on the TV one by one, and then saw the mobile phone on the coffee table and picked it up as well.
The circular news on TV is all calling on people not to leave their homes as much as possible, drink more sugar water to replenish their strength, and an expert is talking in the studio.
Suddenly, the expert froze, stopped halfway through his words, stood up with the back of his chair, his face full of surprise and panic, and then he heard a scream, and the camera fell to the ground in chaos, only seeing a few pairs of legs running.
Cheng Jiayi also looked up at the TV.
There was the sound of shouting, participating, and then heavy objects hitting the ground on the TV, and then all the sound stopped, except for a pool of blood that suddenly flowed from the edge into the camera.
Du Yiyi turned off the TV one by one.
"How long can we eat?" Du Yiyi asked.
"No water or electricity, rice and noodles add up, we two for a week. If we don't increase the amount of food. Cheng Jiayi replied.
"Finished eating?"
"When you're done eating, you're going to go out and buy it, and if you can't buy it, you're going to grab it." Cheng Jiayi said.
"What about others? What will they do? ”
"Some of them will eat people. Some of them are eaten. Some of them are hiding and waiting to die. Cheng Jiayi shook her head.
"The government must be trying to figure out a way, and not everyone will eat people. Why cannibalism? So much glucose in the hospital. Du Yiyi said strangely.
"Because blood tastes good. You don't know that sweet and silky taste, so tempting. Cheng Jiayi pursed her lips.
"Why sweet?" Du Yiyi shook his head one by one, "I smell blood." ”
Cheng Jiayi turned his head. yes, why does blood taste sweet?
"Is it because you want humans to kill each other?" Du Yiyi said suspiciously, "Rabies-like symptoms? ”
The room was quiet again.
This day is spent in non-stop cooking and eating.
Cheng Jiayi is also impatient to cook all the time, so she simmered the rice cooker at the same time. The two of them were like frightened birds, and they threw themselves down in front of the window as soon as they heard movement outside.
Du Yiyi was also preparing to leave, boiling a few pots of thick sugar water and cooling them in bottles of pure water. The clothes of the two of them were also changed to have pockets, which were filled with chocolates and sweets.
Doomsday theory began to emerge on the Internet.
Some people have counted several states of mutants, and even said that the reason for cannibalism is because the body of mutants contains higher energy, and cannibals will be stronger.
This post was quickly forwarded wildly, and tens of thousands of replies were quickly made, some said that he was eating people, and his power was infinite. Some say that blood is so sweet. Some say they want to be the top of the pyramid......
The TV began to appear non-stop swiping the screen to refute rumors, and it was also said that materials would be mobilized, and all major supermarkets would open one after another. The army has been ordered to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
Several soldiers armed with guns to control the riots and arrest scenes also appeared.
But no matter how much it is publicized on the Internet on TV, Du Yiyi and Cheng Jiayi don't believe it.
In the evening, the woman on the other side did not come back, Cheng Jiayi and Du Yiyi did not dare to turn on the lights, and the whole community was as quiet as death. Not once did they see anyone downstairs.
It was dark, and the buildings on both sides were not lit, and the community seemed to be a dead city.
Du Yiyi looked at Cheng Jiayi's mobile phone every once in a while, but there was no text message on it, he held the mobile phone, wanted to send a text message to inquire several times, and put it down several times.
"What are you looking at?" Du Yiyi finally put down his phone.
"See how to do it." Cheng Jiayi didn't look up, "There are still two bags of noodles." ”
"If there is a power outage, where will I put it?" Du Yiyi.
Cheng Jiayi shook his head, "It's also said on the Internet that the rice and noodles should be made as soon as possible, and the water should be stored. ”
Du leaned over one by one.
"You see, it says that his chickens are the same as people, attacking each other, and it will be very hard to catch them." Cheng Jiayi said, "The chicken has also mutated, and the meat is delicious." ”
"It's the countryside, where to get chickens here. I'm tired of eating like this. Du Yiyi glanced at it a few times and sat back.
The two of them had to eat almost every two hours, and if there was no meat, they would be hungry for an hour.
"You say, in these two days, can half of the people die?" Du Yiyi asked.
"Yes...... bar. Cheng Jiayi said, "Not to mention our school, just this building, there are a total of thirteen floors, two households on each floor, and a maximum of three people per household, how much less do you know now?" ”
Cheng Jiayi calculated in his heart and added: "There is also a community, lifeless. ”
"A large number of onset times are during the day, going to work, going to school, and not much at home. There aren't many who can come back. Yesterday, the four households, hey, why didn't they attack each other, and they still came together? Du Yiyi said strangely.
"Aren't the two of us together?" Cheng Jiayi also said.
"These are four households, plus your opposite door, the two who were injured yesterday, and this opposite door, there are no one in a total of eight households. There are also people who don't have anyone at home in the first place. Perhaps, in this corridor, only you and I still have a cannibalistic family. Du Yiyi said in a low voice, "Drinking blood and eating meat, two people, enough to eat for a while." After eating, we are in danger. ”
Thinking about it again, he said: "According to what is said on the Internet, we, you, can't beat the cannibals." ”
Cheng Jiayi sighed, "Let's sleep in shifts, you sleep first, when I feel hungry, call you to get up and eat, and then I'll sleep." ”
"I'm not sleepy, you've been busy all day, you go to sleep first." Du Yiyi said.
Cheng Jiayi didn't enter the house, just straightened her legs on the sofa and closed her eyes.
Cheng Jiayi's mobile phone flashed, and Du Yi picked it up one by one, and it turned out that someone in the class's WeChat group was talking.
It's Zhang Anning: Is there anyone else?
Du Yiyi's fingers fell on the buttons, hesitating until the screen went black.
That day, Zhang Anning was the first to rush up and lift a chair, and that day, he and Cheng Jiayi were the first to leave the school.
Has Zhang Anning mutated? What does it become? Why didn't you speak earlier?
The phone screen kept going black, as if it hadn't been lit at all.
"Dah." There seemed to be a voice outside, and Du Yi stood up one by one. The cat's eyes are black.
He waited for a while, but there was no sound.
On the invisible staircase, a slender woman was standing outside, clutching the doorknob with one hand. The doorknob didn't twist, and in the darkness she raised an eyebrow, let go, and turned to go upstairs.
Her steps were very light and light, and she didn't make a sound when she landed on the ground, and the sensor light never turned on. She went up another floor, and this time, the door was unscrewed open.
