Section 160 Ice buckets

Liu Tianming smiled slightly, did not explain, and continued to eat the food in his bowl.

After eating, tidying up the tableware and all kinds of sundries, Liu Tianming gathered Luo Kuan, Liao Qiu and others, and called Guo Yongzhi's family to have a short meeting in the room on the first floor.

It is said to be a meeting, but in fact, it is a disguised lecture on disaster knowledge and coping skills training.

"Remember, you can't bite a walking corpse at any time. No matter how bitten on any part of the body, even the smallest wound, it can lead to a viral infection that becomes just like them. ”

"Remember, the head is their only weakness. In addition, attacking joints such as knees and elbows can incapacitate them, but they cannot be killed. ”

"Try not to get the blood of the walking dead splashed in your mouth during the attack. If there is a physical injury, the wound must not be stained with the blood of the walking corpse. Otherwise, it will also lead to infection mutation. ”

"Unless necessary, use knives or other sharp weapons as much as possible. On the one hand, it is possible to save ammunition, on the other hand, it is possible to control the sound and reduce the danger. ”

Liu Tianming also discussed the distribution and use of various materials.

He is not arbitrary, and this attitude is shared by most people.

In fact, no one wants to waste all kinds of daily consumables.

After all, these are special times.

After arranging the candidates for night duty, Liu Tianming took Huang He and Zhang Weili and set up a security alarm near his residence.

It is made of stones or bricks stacked on the ground to form a shelf of about 10 centimeters. On the top platform, there is an empty canning box, or glass bottle. The walking corpse has no vision, and if you walk and bump into the shelves made of stones and bricks, the cans or glass bottles on them will fall down with a crisp sound.

In normal times, this kind of sound is actually not very loud.

Now there are no cars on the road and no pedestrian noise. The city fell silent at night. Even the bugs were afraid of the virus and hid early. Empty cans roll off on the hard concrete floor, and the sound can travel far away.

Liu Tianming plans to walk around tomorrow.

It would be great if you could get enough wire at a hardware store. You can go around the dwelling and hang a few homemade bells from empty cans, which are upgraded versions of the alarm.

At the top of the building and at the entrance to the unit door, a night watchman was arranged.

Wait until tomorrow, if there is enough time, Liu Tianming plans to open all the rooms in this building and kill all the walking corpses inside.

Everyone drew lots in order to keep vigil, and tonight it was Zhou Yuan's turn, and there was also a worker who escaped from the repair shop.

Liu Tianming and Zheng Xiaoyue stayed in the room, and after the passion and fanaticism, the two gradually calmed down and began to explore what happened in the police station during the day.

"Why is there ice?" Liu Tianming looked at Zheng Xiaoyue, his eyes full of inquiry.

"How do I know?"

Zheng Xiaoyue gathered the shoulder straps of her slippery clothes, got off the bed, walked to the window, looked at the dark world outside, and said thoughtfully: "Could it be a special ability caused by cell mutation caused by virus infection?" ”

Liu Tianming didn't speak, and fell into a long thought.

He didn't understand why.

There is too little information, and there is not enough detailed information about it.

It's all a guesswork.

Perhaps, what Zheng Xiaoyue just said is the most reasonable explanation.

Liu Tianming was so prepared to deal with the outbreak of the virus that he had only prepared food and water in his residence, but he did not have any research tools.

It's not his fault. It's just that no one thought that things would turn out like this.

In the bright moonlight, Zheng Xiaoyue raised her right hand, and thin ice cubes appeared on her fingertips again. As her palms changed shape, the ice condensed again into spheres, eerily levitating in the air.

Liu Tianming stood up, walked over, stared intently at the ball of ice the size of a ping-pong ball, and said in surprise: "It appeared faster." When you were at the police station, I remember it took you about a minute or so to complete the action. Now, it seems like it's less than ten seconds. ”

Zheng Xiaoyue turned her back to Liu Tianming, her eyes focused on the surface of the suspended ice hockey, and she said to herself thoughtfully: "It was originally flat, but it became round later." Maybe it can be changed into other shapes. ”

As he spoke, the round puck began to change. Under the gaze of the two men, the sphere began to bulge directly in front of it, and then continued to extend. After about half a minute, the length reached about twenty centimeters. The club-shaped cylinder was also suspended in mid-air, almost the thickness of a finger. Its tip is very sharp. Liu Tianming stretched out his hand and touched it gently, and a clear pinprick sensation immediately came from the surface of the skin.

"This thing can be used as a weapon."

Liu Tianming immediately thought of other aspects. He urged Zheng Xiaoyue: "You try to see if you can launch it." ”

Zheng Xiaoyue nodded excitedly. She stared intently at the icicle hovering in her palm, slowly raising her arm.

Liu Tianming asked beside him: "Are you controlling with your mind?" ”

Zheng Xiaoyue nodded solemnly.

I saw her raise her right hand high, and the suspended ice cube was above her head. The sharp tip protrudes from the window lattice and the metal railing, and is aimed at the outside.

"Whoosh!"

With a wave that pierced the air, ice picks roared out of Zheng Xiaoyue's palm. It flew straight out of the air for more than thirty meters, then lost power, staggered and fell from the air, and was diagonally inserted into the green belt downstairs, slowly melting.

No one spoke.

Both Liu Tianming and Zheng Xiaoyue were shocked by the scene that happened in front of them.

After a long time, Zheng Xiaoyue asked uncertainly: "This...... This is the ability produced by mutant cells? ”

Liu Tianming nodded silently.

At this moment, he thought of the extraordinary agility and speed in himself.

Zheng Xiaoyue thought of more aspects.

Her big dark eyes flashed with strangeness and question marks: "If every infected person would have an ability." So, what should others do? ”

It's a pun on meaning.

Liu Tianming thought of those unrecognizable walking corpses.

Among them were workers, teachers, soldiers, peasants, the elderly, children, and young people...... In a word, they are ordinary people. Whether rich or poor, whether beggars or dignitaries, there is no difference in the face of the virus.

Compared with the millions of walking corpses in the entire city, he and Zheng Xiaoyue belonged to a very rare special mutant individual. To some extent, this also confirms the words of the cyber mystery manβ€”β€”β€”β€” mutant infections are very rare.

However, Liu Tianming always had a strange feeling.

If what the Internet mystery man said is true, then his own experience is a little weird.

He said that the number of mutant types of infections is far less than that of normal forms of infection.

According to Liu Tianming's understanding, Xiao Wu, Wang Fushou, and the mutated walking corpse that appeared in the basement of the police station today are strictly speaking normal forms of infection. However, how to explain the cold ability that Zheng Xiaoyue showed?

Three-on-two!

In the face of this probability, the word "rare" is wrong in any case.

Of course, many things can be explained by the word "coincidence".

If Song Jiahao was still alive, he would definitely be able to tell himself the real answer. That's a guy who really has the intelligence to do anything crazy to find out the truth.

Zheng Xiaoyue did not disturb Liu Tianming's contemplation.

She silently walked away from her man's embrace, turned around, and gave up the empty window and moonlight to Liu Tianming. Then, Zheng Xiaoyue walked into the bathroom and squatted in front of a plastic bucket filled with clean water.

Liu Tianming did not continue to be troubled by incomprehensible questions.

He took a breath of refreshing air, turned around and walked behind Zheng Xiaoyue, looked down at the bucket she was looking at from above, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing, just something that suddenly came to mind."

Zheng Xiaoyue replied lightly.

She stretched out her right hand, palm down, slender white fingers spread flat, and stayed at a distance of more than 20 centimeters from the water.

Liu Tianming suddenly understood Zheng Xiaoyue's intentions.

His eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.

It was a flat, round blue plastic pail.

The bucket was filled with water.

As the minutes passed, a white spot appeared on the calm, waveless water.

It was a white ice flower. It is very small and stands out in the middle of the crystal clear water.

It is like a spark that ignites the vital role of the festive fireworks, spreading rapidly over the calm waters.

Under the gaze of Liu Tianming and Zheng Xiaoyue, the surface of the water solidified at an extremely rapid speed, turning into ice mixed with white frost. This upheaval was accomplished in just a few seconds. The temperature in the barrel was so low that deep at the bottom of the barrel, which was not visible to the naked eye, there was even the screeching sound of ice cubes passing through the water and then solidifying the remaining liquid.

A bucket full of water, as much as five or six kilograms of liquid, instantly condensed into ice cubes.

Zheng Xiaoyue stood up from the ground. She stretched out her left hand and coordinated the movement of her right hand to make a ten-finger hugging motion in the air. The bucket on the ground began to sway from side to side, as if an invisible hand was grabbing it and jolting hard.

Liu Tianming heard the "stinging" sound of the ice cubes separating from the walls of the barrel.

As he watched, a large flat block of ice slowly rose from the center of the blue plastic bucket. The empty barrel, which had lost its weight, was taken off the ground, and then lost its adhesion to the ice, and fell from mid-air about ten centimeters or so with a dull impact.

The entire piece of ice was lifted up by Zheng Xiaoyue. She didn't use her hands, she was completely controlled by her mind.

She looked a little overwhelmed, her eyes wide open, and her face full of surprise and shock.
