Chapter 6: The Temptation to Go Home
Seeing that Lu Yu agreed to his request, a sweet smile bloomed on Xiao Ran's face that almost wanted to cry.
Lu Yu sighed and touched the little girl's head. It's not that he didn't want to leave this little girl and leave by himself, but leaving the little girl behind in this catastrophic environment will undoubtedly put her to death, and he still has some preparations, so let's take care of her for the time being.
"Think of it as an extra little sister" Lu Yu comforted himself and opened the locked door.
A strong smell of blood came to his nose, Lu Yu had already observed it from the cat's eye before, the door of his house was slightly open, and Xiao Ran's mother's body was blurred and crooked to the side, without moving.
Lu Yu shrank by the door, poked his head out carefully, and observed the bloody corpse by the door of his house.
Xiao Ran hid behind Lu Yu, looking curious but afraid to look at it.
Lu Yu held the vinegar bottle taken out of the kitchen in his hand and threw it towards the crooked head of the corpse.
He wanted to confirm whether Xiao Ran's mother was a corpse to ensure that there would be no accidents on his way home.
The "bang" vinegar bottle did not hit the head of the corpse, but smashed on the wall against which the corpse was back, and the glass slag suddenly scattered and splashed, and the corpse still did not move.
Lu Yu waited quietly for a few more minutes, and found that the corpse did not show any signs of corpse transformation, so he opened the door with confidence and walked briskly towards his home.
Xiao Ran behind him saw Lu Yu suddenly open the door, walked towards his house, and immediately followed Lu Yu like a fart. But the scene in front of her made her stop abruptly and stand still.
The corpse that fell crooked by the wall was her mother!
Unable to restrain the emotions in his heart anymore, Xiao Ran cried and wanted to pounce on the corpse on the ground, but was stopped by Lu Yu in front of him.
"Your mother is dead, don't touch her, she may have the virus on her body and will infect you."
Lu Yu held the back of Xiao Ran's neck collar with one hand and said in an almost cold voice.
He understands Xiao Ran's current mood, from a theoretical point of view, the pain of losing his parents will generally make people collapse.
But fortunately, he has no empathy, so he can maintain his emotional stability, so as to make a rational judgment to stop Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran kept struggling to break free from Lu Yu's shackles, but how could a 9-year-old girl stand up to a 27-year-old adult with a height of 1.8 meters.
Even though Lu Yu usually doesn't have the habit of exercising, the advantages of age and gender make him easily stop Xiao Ran and drag him towards the door of his house.
At the moment when he passed by the corpse, the corner of Lu Yu's eyes seemed to catch a glimpse of the corpse trembling slightly!
"Not good!"
Lu Yu's heart suddenly became alarmed, and he was so immortal that he was not dead, but at this time, a corpse mutation occurred.
Saying that it was too late at this time, Lu Yu ran towards the door with a big stride, and at the same time, his muscles pulled Xiao Ran over fiercely.
Just as Lu Yu was about to turn around and close the door, he suddenly found that Xiao Ran's left ankle was clasped with a bloody hand!
And Xiao Ran was already stunned at this time, and his mother had also become a monster, pulling her ankles desperately out.
The pain in the heart came from the left leg, and I couldn't kick it open.
The slightly open door had been opened by Lu Yu at this time, and seeing that the corpse of Xiao Ran's mother was clutching Xiao Ran's ankle, Lu Yu couldn't take care of 3721 in a hurry, so he turned around and kicked the door in front of the female corpse.
But the feeling that came from the feet was not a kick to a hard object, but a soft ball.
Sure enough, the female corpse's head was hit by Lu Yu's big kick and exploded violently.
Black bodily fluids mixed with white brains smeared the wall, and a foul smell suddenly filled the air, and the hand that was clasping the girl's ankle loosened.
As mentioned earlier, in order to test the performance of zombies, Lu Yu had done a good job of comprehensive protection for himself, wearing a thick down jacket and even a helmet on his head.
Therefore, the slurry of the explosion did not directly touch his skin, but Xiao Ran beside him was only wearing thin short sleeves, and the slurry that had just been kicked and blown up by Lu Yu directly covered the little girl's body.
"Shut your mouth, don't eat it!"
Lu Yu roared anxiously, and didn't care whether Xiao Ran did it or not, so he dragged the girl into the house with all his might, and closed the door of his house.
After locking the door and turning his head to look at Xiao Ran, who was full of filth in front of him and had been scared stupidly, Lu Yu was impatient.
He can at least confirm one thing now, it is possible to be infected with the virus after being bitten by zombies, because Xiao Ran's mother was only corpsed after being bitten by a zombie with a big back.
But if you get infected with bodily fluids, will you also get infected?
Lu Yu jerked up Xiao Ran and dragged her to the bathroom.
He wanted to clean up the slurry on Xiao Ran's body in the shortest possible time.
Lu Yu took off the little girl's clothes and pants roughly, and rinsed the girl's whole body with the shower, while Xiao Ran stood in place in a daze, at the mercy of Lu Yu.
"Uncle Lu Yu, will I also become a monster like my parents......
Xiao Ran suddenly opened his mouth and said with an expressionless face.
"No, Xiao Ran, you won't become a zombie, just wash it, and you'll be fine......"
Lu Yu was slightly stunned, not daring to look at Xiao Ran's eyes, and carefully cleaned Xiao Ran's ankles.
Xiao Ran's ankles were very beautiful, as white and delicate as lotus roots, but on the white skin, there were faint scratches of blood at this time.
"Uncle Lu Yu, I feel so cold." Xiao Ran, who was wrapped in a bath towel by Lu Yu, shivered, and her petite body trembled slightly.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not cold when the quilt is covered......" Lu Yu comforted in a panic, hugged Xiao Ran to his bed, and covered it firmly with the quilt.
"It's still cold." Xiao Ran's face turned blue, and his voice trembled as he spoke. At this time, her eyes were closed, her good-looking little face was wrinkled, and she was constantly swinging.
Lu Yu touched Xiao Ran's forehead and found that it was very hot. With a chill in his heart, he remembered what the little girl said before: "Dad is sick, and Mom wants to take him to the doctor......"
"Sick, it's just the current state of fever." I wondered in my heart, "Referring to the situation of the big back, there is a chance that this Xiao Ran is infected with the virus, do you want to throw her out of the door......
Finally, Lu Yu still couldn't bear to throw the little girl out of the door, and looked at the little girl in front of him who had begun to be confused.
Lu Yu took the rope and tied Xiao Ran's hands and feet to the bed.
In this way, even if Xiao Ran's corpse really changes, he can deal with it in advance and avoid accidents.
I have to go to the hospital if I have a fever, but now that I go to the hospital, isn't it the same as delivering food to zombies.
"I can only take some antipyretics, and I can stand up first."
Lu Yu muttered to himself, and then thought about it, the antipyretic medicine at home seems to have expired a long time ago, he has not had a fever for a long time, so naturally he will not always keep antipyretic medicine at home.
After rummaging through the medicine box for a while, Lu Yu frustrated to confirm the fact that there was no fever reducer at home.
"Fever Fever." Lu Yu muttered repeatedly like a chatterbox, feeling bored in his heart.
When he was about to give up looking for medicine, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two large bags of aspirin that he had left on the sofa last night.
"Zhang Heng asked me to prepare a large amount of aspirin, should it be used for ......?"
Lu Yu's eyes slowly brightened, and a bold idea slowly emerged in his mind.
Dead horses should be used as live horse doctors, Lu Yu took a bottle of aspirin, came to Xiao Ran's bed, and gave Xiao Ran a dose as a child.
According to his understanding, the main function of aspirin is anti-inflammatory, it is the earliest anti-inflammatory drug, widely used in war times, and also has a certain fever-reducing effect.
Since Zhang Heng asked him to prepare a large amount of aspirin in advance, he must not be untargeted, and in this catastrophic world, this medicine will definitely play an important role......
After settling Xiao Ran, Lu Yu came to the living room and threw all the "equipment" on his body from the balcony after unloading. Turn around and walk to the door and look outside the door through the cat's eye.
The female corpse whose head was kicked by Lu Yu like a rotten watermelon was trembling slightly on the ground at this time, and black mucus was constantly gushing out of the broken neck, as if there were small worm-like insects drilling around at the fracture, everything looked terrifying and disgusting.
"Did I see it wrong" Lu Yu rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully, there were indeed earthworm-like creatures drilling around the broken neck.
"Isn't the source of the infection a virus? Is it a parasite? Lu Yu's heart was full of questions, but he had no way to verify it, so he could only silently return to the bathroom and continue his unfinished water connection business last night.
Funeral parlor, J District, N City
Zhang Ning suddenly opened his eyes, there was a white patch in front of him, he subconsciously wanted to sit up, but found that his whole body was in severe pain, as if he had just been run over by more than a dozen trucks.
With great difficulty, he raised his right hand and removed the white cloth from his face.
"Oh my God, what's going on."
Zhang Ning struggled to straighten up and found himself lying in a small room, the dim light illuminating the room.
He was naked, there were mottled blood stains on his hands, and he had a small sign on his big toe, and he couldn't see what was written on it without glasses......
"Glasses? By the way, where did my glasses go? Zhang Ning realized that his glasses were gone, looked around, and found himself lying on an iron bed.
It's the kind of hospital that pushes patients, with a small iron bed on wheels under the bed, and his black-rimmed glasses resting on a table beside him.
Zhang Ning, who put his glasses back on, looked around, the room was quiet, and there was no one else.
He tried to move his body, but found that his whole body was sore. Taking off the small sign on the big toe, Zhang Ning saw clearly what was written on it.
Name: Ning Zhang
Gender: Male
Cause of death: death from hemorrhagic shock
Storage time: 23:04 on May 20, 2021
"I'm dead?" Zhang Ning looked at the sign in his hand in shock, and couldn't help but burst out with a foul mouth. At this time, the small brand in his hand was the corpse card used to distinguish the identity of the corpse.
"Didn't I watch "Playing with Death Bald Head 9" with Jiayi last night, after watching it, we took the bus home together and went home......"
Zhang Ning fell into memories, and the memories in his brain were like paste.
Zhang Ning frowned, trying his best to think. "Then, then I called the old dog. And then ......"
Suddenly, Zhang Ning clenched his right hand into a fist and struck it on the palm of his left hand, with a look of sudden realization. "I remember! I was bitten by a neurotic on the bus! ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Ning subconsciously touched his neck. The fingertips did not feel the soft touch of the skin, but the hard feeling of scales.
If you touch it closely, you can feel the lines between the scales. I buttoned it with my fingernails, and it hurt slightly.
"My old swan, what the hell is going on?" Zhang Ning felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart, forced his body to get off the iron bed, covered his bare buttocks with the white cloth that covered his body before, and pushed open the door of the room.
The corridor of the funeral home was quiet, without a sound, and Zhang Ning dragged his sore body slowly forward.
"Anyone?" Zhang Ning shouted tentatively.
But no voice answered him. As he moved, he came to the sink of the toilet, and in the mirror of the sink, he saw the scene that made his hair stand on end.
In the mirror, a large piece of dark scale armor grew from his neck......
