Chapter 8: Xiao Ran's Changes

Lu Yu looked at the little girl sitting cross-legged on the ground, and then looked at the rope she tied to her ankles.

Lu Yu knew in his heart that Xiao Ran was worried that he would pose a threat to him after turning into a zombie, so he tied his feet with ropes to restrict his movements.

Back in the living room, Lu Yu's gaze returned to the TV screen.

In the two days that Xiao Ran was in a coma, he didn't do nothing, but was in full swing according to his own plan to count materials and collect intelligence.

The television has been on for the past two days, and at first there were sporadic reporters reporting on attacks across the country, and the content of each television station was different, but since last night, all the television stations have been converted to emergency broadcasts.

The content of the broadcast is roughly that there is a mass spread of unexplained diseases in various parts of our country, and a national-level response is now launched to unite all forces to quell the disaster.

Most of the air and railways have been regulated, high-speed sections have been blocked from passing, and the state has called on the general public to stay at home, reduce going out, and wait for government rescue......

Looking at the content repeatedly broadcast on TV, Lu Yu moved his gaze back to the coffee table in front of the TV, on which there was a blank piece of paper, densely recording the materials he had obtained so far.

As it stands, the state apparatus should still be functioning and not paralyzed.

Lu Yu, who was born in the motherland, knows very well that the party will not leave the people behind.

But as a pragmatic pessimist, the necessary survival preparations are still indispensable, and he still understands the principle of saving himself and causing less trouble to the government.

Looking at the materials listed on the white paper, Lu Yu fell into deep thought.

At present, Lu Yu has 41 bags of rice in his home, and a bag of 10 catties is 410 catties;

There are a total of 200 bottles of bottled water, all of which are large bottles of mineral water, plus a few boxes of small bottles of mineral water, the total amount of potable water is about 1,100 liters;

A hemp bag of sea salt is estimated to be no problem for 3 years;

Plenty of chocolate, 8 boxes of compressed biscuits, 20 boxes of instant noodles of various flavors;

two large plastic bags of aspirin, a total of 84 bottles;

There is still a small amount of condiments in the house, an unopened bottle of Lao Gan Ma;

cooking oil, 2 barrels, 5 liters each, 10 liters in total;

There are two frozen pork in the refrigerator, and some bacon left over during the New Year, totaling about 3 catties;

3 apples, 1 banana;

4 eggs;

a small bag of greens;

1/2 chead of garlic.

Soon, Lu Yu discovered the problem, the reserves at home should be enough for him to eat and drink by himself, and even with Xiao Ran's food and drink, it was definitely more than enough.

But there are no vegetables, no meat, and no vitamins at home.

In the event of an accident, although he and Xiao Ran can survive, their physical state will inevitably be greatly reduced, and in this precarious last days, being content with the status quo is the biggest irresponsibility for their lives.

Lu Yu took the pen and wrote on the paper, "You need to find supplements, as well as meat and vegetables." ”

After a pause, he added, "A lot of alcohol is needed for cooking." ”

In the past two days, Lu Yu has observed the headless corpse from the cat's eye from time to time, and the earthworm-like creature that was originally drilling around the neck of the corpse has no movement at this time.

The entire corpse was already showing signs of decay, with small fly-like flying insects flying around the corpse. The smell of corpses also began to spread into the house through the cracks in the door, causing Lu Yu a headache.

But soon, Lu Yu no longer worries about the smell of corpses.

Just as Lu Yu was about to venture out to dispose of the corpse early this morning, a stabbing sound came from the corridor.

Lu Yu hurriedly cast his eyes on the cat's eyes, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, and when he looked at it, he found that it was a huge orange cat like a leopard slowly walking out of the fire escape.

The orange cat was covered in tattered fur, and even had several severe wounds on his shoulder, revealing scarlet muscles.

One eye is grayish-white, while the other is a strange green, and four saber-like fangs protrude from its mouth, all of which reflect the beast's terrifying combat power.

But what scared Lu Yu was not the orange cat's weird eyes, nor the exaggerated fangs, what made him feel frightened was that there was another strange creature on the orange cat's back.

The creature looked like a leech, and it looked like a maggot.

Half of its body was hidden under the fur of the orange cat, and the other half was raised high like a rattlesnake, constantly probing around, and its small mouthparts kept opening and closing, as if to catch some kind of smell in the air.

I saw that the orange cat slowly came to the corpse, touched the broken wound of the corpse's neck with its paws, and suddenly retreated like lightning, and made a threatening sound similar to the roar of a lion.

The leech-like creature on its back shook wildly as if it had been electrocuted, and shrank most of its body into the orange cat's body.

The orange cat seemed to feel the strange movement of the creature on its back, and its body began to tremble involuntarily, as if it had received some command, and pounced forward, biting the clothes on the corpse, and dragging the corpse towards the fire escape.

Soon, the orange cat and the corpse disappeared from Lu Yu's field of vision, leaving Lu Yu alone behind the door dumbfounded.

Lu Yu recalled the terrifying scene that happened this morning, and then picked up a pen and wrote the four big words "need weapons" on the paper.

Just as Lu Yu was thinking about whether he had missed something, he found that Xiao Ran's head poked out of the study.

"When is it time to eat, I'm so hungry."

Lu Yu was stunned when he heard this, didn't he already give Xiao Ran some chocolates and compressed biscuits just now, although it was normal for Xiao Ran to feel hungry after being in a coma for two days.

But the energy of compressed biscuits and chocolate is not covered, usually you can eat a compressed biscuit by yourself, can it be that Xiao Ran only ate chocolate and didn't eat compressed biscuits?

"You've eaten all the chocolate and compressed cookies?" Lu Yu got up and wanted to go to the study to see what was going on.

"I'm still hungry after I've eaten, do you still have water?" Xiao Ran picked up the empty water glass on the side

Lu Yu, who was standing at the door of the study, had already caught a glimpse of the empty bag on the ground at this time, and was secretly surprised in his heart, could it be that he picked up a big stomach and came back, this appetite seemed to have surpassed him.

"Wait, I'll pour it for you."

Lu Yu took the kettle and poured it into the cup that Xiao Ran was holding.

Although it is said that the high temperature can kill most of the bacteria and viruses, but now that this cataclysm has broken out, and the root cause is not yet clear, Lu Yu feels that there may still be risks in drinking tap water after boiling.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, the water in the kettle is bottled mineral water after boiling and poured into it cool.

This is Lu Yu, the standard pessimist style, who thinks about the worst outcome in everything.

I thought that Xiao Ran would be able to quench his thirst after drinking a few glasses, but unexpectedly, Xiao Ran had no intention of letting Lu Yu stop pouring water.

On the contrary, he was a little disgusted that Lu Yu was pouring water too slowly, so he simply took the kettle and drank it directly.

"Buffalo, drink slowly." Lu Yu was surprised, but he didn't stop it.

Anyway, the water in this kettle is less than 2 liters, and the reserve of my own water source is quite sufficient, so I don't worry about this little water.

"Hiccup...... Xiao Ran drank all the water in the kettle in one go, let out a long hiccup, and picked up the book in hand again with satisfaction.

"Hurry up and start eating, Uncle Lu Yu."

Lu Yu is face is black line, how do you feel that she has become the nanny of this little ancestor, and sure enough, she is even cuter when she is in a coma.

And what the hell is that Uncle Lu Yu voice at the end, why does the tone sound like hey, hey!

Lu Yu shook his head helplessly, but finally got up and came to the kitchen to get busy.

Although the meat could be stored in the blast freezer of the refrigerator for a long time, Lu Yu had a hunch that this catastrophe would not pass so easily.

Once the power was cut off, the meat in the refrigerator would quickly rot, so Lu Yu didn't save and cooked a delicious stew for two people.

I took out the greens again, chopped half of the garlic, and stir-fried the garlic greens.

Rice is Lu Yu's most abundant material at present, so a large pot full of fragrant rice is indispensable.

After thinking about it, I didn't think it was enough, so I took out two eggs and made an egg custard.

Lu Yu also has a plan in his heart, firstly, the food in the refrigerator is all food with a short shelf life, and this premise is still based on the premise that the civil power is not broken, so it is the best choice to eat the food in the refrigerator as soon as possible.

Second, Xiao Ran has been in a coma for two days, and when he wakes up this time, he must have a physical deficit, so he will make up for it while there are still conditions.

Lu Yu is like this, people who have nothing to do with him, no matter how pitiful he is, he will not give the slightest sympathy and care. But the people that Lu Yu identifies, Lu Yu will do everything possible to be good to them.

Lu Yu has no friends, so he attaches great importance to his own people, such as his deceased father; For example, his mother, whose whereabouts are unknown; For example, this inexplicably relied on his own Xiao Ran.

Smelling the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, Xiao Ran's stomach made a rumbling sound.

Even though I've eaten a lot of chocolate and compressed biscuits, and drunk so much water, I still feel so hungry, and this hunger is like my stomach is a bottomless pit that can't be filled no matter how much I fill it.

And his own head, Xiao Ran thought of this and touched his forehead.

Whenever she feels hungry, her brain will throb and throb, the feeling is not intense, but it is like a heartbeat, it cannot be avoided, so she can't ignore it.

Lu Yu, who was carrying the meal, came to Xiao Ran again, and also learned from Xiao Ran to sit down cross-legged.

At this time, it was only about 10 o'clock in the morning, and Lu Yu had just eaten a compressed biscuit in the morning, so he didn't feel hungry at this time.

After serving a bowl of rice for Xiao Ran, Lu Yu didn't make any other moves, just sat there quietly and watched Xiao Ran gobble up.

Xiao Ran has the cute characteristics that all little girls have, with double ponytails, a fleshy face, curved willow eyebrows, and pink lips. But the only thing that is different is that Xiao Ran's watery eyes are heterochromic pupils with one blue and one black, which is medically known as heterochromia.

With the blessing of this rare symptom, the originally cute Xiao Ran added a bit of immortal energy, and the whole person was like an elf who escaped from the fairy tale world, smart and delicate.

As if sensing that Lu Yu was observing himself, Xiao Ran's movements slowed down slightly, and continued to eat as if he had figured out something.

"When I woke up this time, I felt that I had become different from before." Xiao Ran suddenly said this without a head.

When Lu Yu heard this, his originally relaxed mood suddenly tensed, could it be or was it infected? Cute little Lori is going to turn into a terrifying zombie rhythm?

"I feel like my head is a lot clearer than before."

Xiao Ran didn't stop talking, and continued, "I feel that I can't figure out things before, but now I can figure it out, and I still feel that my former self is very naΓ―ve......"

After saying this, Xiao Ran's ears blushed slightly.

"This? Could it be that Xiao Ran has evolved? Lu Yu suddenly had a bold guess in his heart.

Now in many zombie-themed novels, the protagonist of the novel will more or less gain ability enhancement after the outbreak of the end of the world, and then every second, no wonder Lu Yu thinks so.

"Do you feel that your body is full of power, or do you have any special functions, such as breathing fire? Will it freeze? Lu Yu asked excitedly.

Xiao Ran shook his head sluggishly, indicating that he had not obtained the magical abilities described by Lu Yu.

Lu Yu fell back in disappointment, leaning against the wall, "Then you mean, after waking up, your brain will become smarter?" ”

Xiao Ran nodded.

"What is 34452 times 23423?" The corners of Lu Yu's mouth hooked, and he threw out a cheap question.

"806969196", Xiao Ran picked up the rice and quickly gave the answer.
