Chapter 9: Windfall

"Uh......" Jian Qiu, who had just woken up, touched it with her right hand, in her memory, she should have been bitten by a zombie on the fourth floor, but the surroundings felt like she was on the bed.

"Whew...... Awake? Liu Lifan took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand and exhaled a large cloud of smoke.

"Huh? Am I not, should I be dead? ”

"I'm not even sure you're dead."

"What do you mean?" Jian Qiu licked his lips, and found that his left hand had been firmly tied to the bedside table by Liu Lifan with a rope, and he felt a little cold on his body, so he reached under the blanket on his body and touched it.

"Ahh Dead rascal, what did you do to me? Jian Qiu touched it and found that she was only wearing underwear and underwear, and then looked at Liu Lifan, who was actually only wearing a big pants, which couldn't help but make her think of something, and suddenly became angry, grabbed the pillow next to her and smashed it at Liu Lifan.

"Phew, don't spend a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, I am your savior, and I have bandaged your wounds briefly, but I searched through that house and yours, and only found some anti-inflammatory drugs, so I had to sprinkle them on you."

"We were covered in zombie blood, and I didn't know if the virus would spread through the air, so I left our clothes outside, and I didn't do anything to you. But ......," Liu Lifan smiled lewdly, "the figure is good." ”

"Hush." Hearing Liu Lifan say this, it seems to be the same, but looking at his obscene appearance, Jian Qiu didn't believe that he didn't do anything to him.

"Then why are you tying me up?"

"Hey, eldest sister, this is the first time I've used this method, who knows if it will work, if you suddenly mutate and jump up and bite me, I'll find Hades to redress your grievances?"

"So you mean, I might still turn into a zombie?"

Liu Lifan nodded slowly.

"Alas," Jian Qiu let out a long sigh, "if I really change, you can kill me, I don't want to become such a disgusting monster." ”

"Yes." Liu Lifan gently stepped on the cigarette butt thrown on the ground and said calmly.

"Actually, it's good to be dead, but in this world, it's sinful to live."

"Be optimistic, it's been more than seven hours since you were scratched, and your body is not abnormal at all, I estimate that the mutation is not very likely, as long as your wound does not deteriorate, it should be fine."

"Well, hopefully."

"Is there anything to eat? Hungry. The two were silent for a while, and Jian Qiu's stomach suddenly broke the deadlock.

"Whoa." Liu Lifan picked up a box of chocolate bars and a few bags of jelly on the table and threw them to Jian Qiu, this was also the last table left in the whole room, it was still the smallest one, and the big ones had already been taken to block the stairs.

"I'm too lazy to cook, you'll eat this thing, if you really want to eat it, I'll make it for you tomorrow morning."

Jian Qiu picked up a few chocolate bars and chewed slowly, "How was the harvest today?" ”

"If you say supplies, it's not good, the water is only half a bucket, and the food is not enough for a few days, but our original material reserves are not bad, this time is enough, you can take a good rest first. But ......"

"Oh my, I risked my life and didn't get anything out of it." Jian Shu rolled his eyes and was speechless for a while, "What do you say?" ”

Liu Lifan paused, "After that, I took a closer look at the zombie, his nails were relatively long and sharp. ”

"Women?"

"No, it's a man, and a woman's nails aren't so sharp, I think...... It's kind of like a knife edge. And his eyes were a little blue. ”

"And what do you mean?" Hearing this, Jian Qiu also frowned.

"Although the zombies before were all disgusting, they were all based on the appearance of people, but today this zombie is not only a little different from humans, but also can return to the light when he dies in the end, none of which were before, so I suspect he seems to be ...... Evolve! ”

"You mean, zombies are eating their own kind and are evolving?" Jian Qiu almost exhaled in surprise.

Liu Lifan nodded heavily, "I don't know if zombies will evolve when they eat anything, or if they will only change if they eat the same kind, but no matter what, this is terrible news." ”

"Okay, you have a good rest, whatever he does, we all have to eat and sleep if he evolves or not, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." Liu Lifan shrugged his shoulders and prepared to open the door and go out.

"Don't ......" Jian Qiu subconsciously screamed, but the random voice lowered with the buried head.

"Huh?"

"Why don't you sleep in this room tonight, I'...... I...... I'm scared ......" Jian Qiu bit her lip and said embarrassedly.

"Eldest sister, aren't you afraid that I will insult you? And what if you turn into a zombie in the middle of the night? Liu Lifan was amused by Jian Qiu's sudden shyness and teased her.

"I've watched it all from you, what you want to do has already been done, what else do I have to be afraid of." Jian Qiu pouted and retorted, "And I'm tied up like this by you, even if I become a zombie, I can't do anything to you." ”

"And you look older than me at first glance, do you call my eldest sister to believe me and bite you to death?" Jian Qiu deliberately gritted her teeth with a hideous face, and in Liu Lifan's opinion, she looked like an unreasonable little girl.

"Okay, okay, I'm really afraid of you, just lie down, I'll sleep on my stomach on the table. But I'm going to tie both hands for you, before I was awake, and it was enough to tie one hand, but at night I fell asleep, and if you suddenly mutate, one hand may not be enough. Liu Lifan pulled out another plastic belt from under the table, "It's still safety first, you say, right?" ”

"You! Never mind...... You tie it up, if it's really infected, I don't want to bother you. Jian Qiu just wanted to refute, but took the words back, after all, she didn't know if she was infected or not, if she really mutated in the middle of the night, she would really not be able to hurt Liu Lifan again.

"That's right." Seeing Jian Qiu and her cooperation, Liu Lifan was very pleased to tie her right hand to the bedside table.

"As long as you're still normal tomorrow morning, you'll be basically fine, and I'll untie it for you then."

Jian Qiu nodded slightly, "Hopefully, I still want to see the sun tomorrow." ”

"You say, if zombies really can evolve, do we still have a chance?" Liu Lifan lit another cigarette and sat down at the table, asking with blank eyes.

Jian Qiu pursed his lips and shook his head slowly, "Who knows what they will evolve into, just better than ordinary zombies?" Or can you fly away and be invulnerable? Anything is possible, no one knows. ”

"But this also shows that zombies eat the same kind when they are hungry, as long as we humans persist for a while, it is not impossible for zombies to eat themselves up."

"No, no, everything you said is possible, first, if zombies can really eat their own kind to evolve, then the last remaining must be the most powerful existence, and second, what if zombies can evolve other abilities? For example, photosynthesis, chemosynthesis? This way they don't need to eat and can survive for a long time. Liu Lifan tapped the table lightly, "But no matter what, these are our speculations, we can plan for the worst, but before these really happen, we can only take one step at a time." ”

"Well, what are you going to do next?"

"You were injured today, which means that searching upstairs is not as simple as imagined, our current supplies can last for a while, I want to strengthen the defense here first, and then familiarize myself with the nearby environment, and then sort out the next plan. You should take care of your wounds first, we don't have any medicine now, and it would be terrible if your wounds worsened. ”

"This summer, it's such a big wound, the chance of deterioration is too great." Jian Qiu straightened his head and looked at his bandaged calf, and sighed, "Alas, what do you say if it really deteriorates?" There's a small pharmacy downstairs, and you said if I really can't help it, will you go and get the medicine for me? ”

"You think so beautifully, a zombie went upstairs today and almost killed you, there are so many zombies downstairs, you let me take my life to get you medicine? Do I have a life to take it, and a life to come back? Liu Lifan rolled his eyes at Jian Qiu speechlessly.

After saying the previous words, Liu Lifan lowered his head again and muttered softly, "But if it really comes to that time, I may also ......"

Although the voice was small, Jian Qiu could hear it clearly, but she also pretended not to hear it, pouted and smiled invisibly, then turned her head and closed her eyes.
