Chapter 40: The Rainstorm
Zheng Rui's new suicide protocol was not praised by others, but made Bian Na and Zuo Youcheng, two normal people, feel that she was a little abnormal. But there is really no more convenient way to experiment with the near-death test other than cutting the carotid artery for the time being. Her abilities have evolved to such an extent that death by suffocation is long gone, and she can't find any medicine for acute toxins.
And now it seems that cutting the carotid artery is also a bit impossible, although she can enter a near-death state, she has recovered before she really "dies", which is not a success in the strict sense.
Zheng Rui felt that she might have to ask Bian Na to help her, and make another cut when her carotid artery fracture was about to heal, so that the blood loss could last enough time. But she also wanted to know that the young lady would definitely not want her to do such a bloody thing.
Alas, let's talk about it.
Zheng Rui drank enough water and sat at the door of the commissary for a while to blow a cool breeze. She seemed to feel that the wind was a little colder this afternoon than before, and it was estimated that the temperature outside was a little cooler than it had been in the morning.
After a while, everyone in the commissary sensed it, and if not the temperature had dropped, at least the light cast from above was much dimmer.
A rainstorm is coming.
"Sister Na, hurry up and get some containers to go out and get water." Zheng Rui ran over and patted Bian Na with some excitement.
Since realizing that it might take at least a month or two to restore order, it's as if she's awakened to hoarding. Previously, all the bottles and plastic bags were filled with water while the water pressure in the water pipes was dropping, and now they have to catch rainwater.
And Benna thought it was a good idea. Rainwater isn't necessarily dirtier than tap water that has been in the pipes for days, and stocking up on water can do anything other than drink.
She immediately went to the warehouse, found all the washbasins in stock, and carried them outside and spread them on the floor. Then he went outside with Zheng Rui to brush the alien shell, cut off the soft armor on the abdomen, and put it upwards to store water.
After doing all this, Zheng Rui and Bian Na returned to the door of the commissary and looked out at the cloudy sky.
After about a minute, the rain didn't fall.
Five minutes, still not down.
Ten minutes, still nothing has changed.
"Sister Na, is it only cloudy and not raining today?" Zheng Rui muttered.
"Who knows, there's no weather forecast now." Benna sighed.
I was just about to pack up the container for receiving water, when suddenly a dark spot appeared on the concrete floor in front of me. Before Zheng Rui could take a closer look, countless raindrops immediately descended.
"Isn't that down?" Zheng Rui couldn't help but smile.
"Let's get them out to take a shower first." Bian Na also smiled and said, "If you don't take a bath in this summer, it really affects the air." ”
Zheng Rui walked to Zuo Youcheng's box and knocked on the box board, and said to the two boys: "You two go out to take a bath first, and by the way, wash the blood on your clothes." Thinking that Zuo Youcheng's legs were inconvenient, he asked Fang Tong, "Can you help him out?" ”
Zuo Youcheng is not concerned about this, but about something more terrible: "Hey, big guy, there are aliens out there - evolved aliens!" Aren't we living targets? ”
"Okay, I'll go out with you." Zheng Rui replied simply, "You know now, I am an immortal type, and when the time comes, the alien will eat me, you can just run away." ”
Zuo Youcheng let out an "oh", as if he felt that there was no problem logically speaking, and he bowed his head a little embarrassedly: "It's a big trouble." ”
"Wait," Fang Tong suddenly spoke, and said in a rather low voice, "This is not appropriate. ”
Zheng Rui remembered that the two of them were taking a bath, and she was indeed a little embarrassed to watch from the side. However, being said by Fang Tong like this is simply a question of her personality!
"Am I guilty of risking my life to see you shower?" Zheng Rui complained unhappily, "It's not like that!" Go up yourselves, for I have something to do. ”
"Hey, big guy, don't be like this......" Zuo Youcheng said with a flattering smile.
"Come on, go up." Zheng Rui also felt that it was not appropriate to go up and watch them take a bath now, "The evolved alien just died here, and they shouldn't come back so soon." ”
It's easy to talk like this, and finally persuaded Zuo Youcheng and Fang Tong to go up. Zheng Rui and Bian Na sat at the entrance of the commissary, waiting expectantly for them to finish washing.
In fact, Zheng Rui is the one who should take a bath the most. Although Fang Tong was also cut off the carotid artery, it was stopped on the spot by Zheng Rui's self-taught operation, and Zheng Rui had been doing various suicide experiments since the first day of the "Apocalyptic MOD", and there was blood everywhere on his clothes, and the blood in his hair had not been completely washed. There is a large stock of surfactants such as soap and hand sanitizer in the commissary, so you don't need to save too much, and you should be able to wash it off this time.
Looking at the concrete floor outside the door, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The wind blew through the steps in the basement, making a whirring sound.
Bian Na wanted to just take a shower outside the commissary, but she was afraid that the boys above would secretly look down. In total, they only have the same clothes they wear, so they can't take them off and wash them.
"Actually, if you want me to say it's okay at all." Zheng Rui began to spread some of her strange remarks again, "It's all to the point of this shortage of materials, it's the same whether you wear clothes or not." According to Maros's needs theory, we are still at a stage where our physiological needs cannot be guaranteed, and we are far from the level of respect. ”
However, Bian Na does not agree with this conclusion, she has been "surfing the Internet" much longer than Zheng Rui, and she also has a certain understanding of popular social science theories: "Our physiological needs have actually been met, and whether the bath will be peeked at is not only at the level of respect, but also related to safety needs." Voyeurism is also a crime, although it is not enough to be a crime of indecency, but I remember that I will also be detained, which means that it has actually posed a certain threat. ”
That's right, but Zheng Rui thought a little off the line, isn't this cheaper for voyeurs of the same sex? After all, if she wants to see the young lady take a bath, she only needs to go to the public bathroom, and no one can stop her.
But then again, like the public bathroom in her school dormitory building, those classmates are in good and bad shape, and they are not much of interest in all of them. And when I go to the locker room of the school natatorium, although I may see the young lady I don't know, most of them are grandmothers' daily swimming exercises, and I have a bit of spicy eyes after watching them.
Zheng Rui prides herself on appreciating normally in an aesthetic way, and feels that she is actually very upright and has not caused any trouble to her, and this time it would be great to take the opportunity to see how Miss Bian Na is in shape.
