Chapter 27 Tap Water
Xu Xiaoxiao's unpacking action was slightly undetectable, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, but quickly unpacked the package of compressed biscuits and ate it in a big gulp.
Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's gobbling up, Xiao Ran couldn't help sighing, he was lucky enough to get Lu Yu's protection, and now Lu Yu looked like he was going to drive the girl away, and he didn't say anything, just sat back at the table and wiped the crossbow in his hand.
Xu Xiaoxiao quickly finished eating the compressed biscuits in his hand, but because he was in too much of a hurry, he choked all of a sudden, scratching his neck indiscriminately, but Lu Yu and Xiao Ran didn't notice her actions, and they were all concentrating on their own business.
Seeing that Xiao Ran and Lu Yu didn't notice their predicament, Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly ran to the kitchen in a hurry, twisted the tap and poured it violently, and finally swallowed the choked biscuits.
But when the girl turned around, she found that Xiao Ran and Lu Yu had stopped what they were doing and were looking at her with a frightened face.
"That, I was choked, and I didn't see the water, so I had to drink tap water......" Xu Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed, and at the same time felt a little aggrieved.
Because of his sweet and cute appearance, he usually plays a favorite role in school, but now he is disgusted by Lu Yu like this, and he threw her a compressed biscuit like a beggar and asked her to leave quickly after eating.
As soon as I thought of this, I was lonely, starving, and frightened, and the negative emotions of the past few days came to my heart, and tears began to fall down in large numbers.
Xu Xiaoxiao wiped his tears indiscriminately, trying to lower his head, not wanting Lu Yu and Xiao Ran to see his useless appearance, and at the same time opened his legs and walked towards the door.
Everyone has driven themselves away, and now that they have finished eating, it is time to leave.
"Eh, wait, you just drank tap water?" Lu Yu saw that the girl was about to open the door, and hurriedly asked.
"yes, don't you even give me tap water?" When Xu Xiaoxiao heard Lu Yu's words, he trembled, and finally couldn't control the grievances in his heart, and cried out again.
However, due to the fact that he had not eaten for a long time and his mood swings were violent before, Xu Xiaoxiao cried and cried this time and fainted......
When she woke up again, she found that she had been tied to the bed by Wuhuada, and her hands and feet were all immobilized, and she couldn't move.
And Lu Yu and Xiao Ran, just like observing a guinea pig, sat on the edge of the bed and stared at her curiously.
"You, what are you going to do, why are you tying me up?" Xu Xiaoxiao tried to struggle, but found that the rope was tied very tightly, and he could barely even turn over.
Suddenly, a bad thought emerged from the girl's mind, could it be that the man and the little girl in front of her were lying to themselves before? Are they really psychopathic murderers? Got it for yourself?
Lu Yu didn't answer the girl's question, but handed the mercury thermometer in his hand to the girl, "Look, how many degrees?" ”
"Uh, 38 degrees......" Xu Xiaoxiao saw the reading on the thermometer clearly, and then he felt that his head was a little dizzy, and his whole body was hot.
"I'm—I'm infected!" Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the news on TV, and shouted like waking up from a dream.
Lu Yu saw the reaction of the girl in front of him, obviously a little disgusted, and frowned slightly, "It seems that yes, it should be caused by you drinking tap water." ”
"Now you are about to face two possibilities," Lu Yu spread out his palm, and in the palm of his hand was a small white pill.
"One is that after taking the medicine, you will return to normal, and you will be strengthened in some way, such as intelligence improvement," Speaking of this, Lu Yu glanced at Xiao Ran, "The second is that after you take the medicine, you will become a zombie, and then we will deal with you." ”
"I—I can choose not to eat it, can you let me go......"
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Yu pitifully, and cautiously said this answer.
"If you don't eat it......" Lu Yu's expression froze, and he seemed to feel a little stuffy in his chest......
"If you don't eat it, you should soon become a zombie, and then you should be pushed downstairs by Uncle Lu Yu." Xiao Ran snatched the conversation with a grin, and looked like a little devil.
"But it seems that I will be in a coma ......for a long time after eating," Lu Yu suddenly remembered Xiao Ran's experience of being in a coma for two days and two nights after taking the medicine, and said to himself.
"She's been hungry for so long, will she starve to death when she's unconscious? Why don't you let her eat first and then take her medicine? Lu Yu put forward his own thoughts, and the little Lori next to him thought about it for a while and felt that what he said made sense, so she got up and walked towards the living room.
After a while, Xiao Ran took chocolates, compressed biscuits and other instant food items and piled them up next to Xu Xiaoxiao's bed, but he didn't let go of Xu Xiaoxiao's intention.
"Even if you want me to eat, you have to let me go." Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to agree with Lu Yu's idea and said to Xiao Ran.
"No, you're too dangerous for us right now to let you go easily." Xiao Ran still looked grinning.
"What kind of threat can a girl of mine pose to you......" Xu Xiaoxiao muttered in a low voice, seeing Lu Yu get up, and when he came back again, there was already a small mirror in his hand.
Lu Yu moved the mirror in front of Xu Xiaoxiao, and in an instant, the girl's screams resounded throughout the room.
Xiao Ran silently covered his ears, while Lu Yu looked at Xu Xiaoxiao who was lying on the bed screaming with disgust.
"My face, why did my face become like this......" Xu Xiaoxiao shouted in horror, his voice hoarse from being too excited, like a crow from an old tree at dusk.
In the mirror, his face is no longer the cute and sweet appearance of the past, his skin has become gray, small black blood vessels spread from his neck to his face like spider webs, and his smart eyes are full of bloodshots, which looks terrifying.
"So you still want us to untie you?" Lu Yu took back the mirror, picked up the chocolate next to the bed and tore it up, now that there is canned beef, chocolate is eaten by him and Xiao Ran as snacks, and it is not included in strict food control, in other words, Lu Yu's current food is very sufficient, enough to support Xu Xiaoxiao's experiment.
"I listen to you, I listen to you, as long as you can turn me back......" Xu Xiaoxiao cried again, this time she was really scared, when people are facing the threat of death, they often don't care about the details of their manners.
"Eat." Lu Yu brought the torn chocolate to Xu Xiaoxiao's mouth, and the girl hurriedly ate it.
At this point, she didn't care whether the chocolate or the compressed biscuit would choke on her, she just swallowed heavily, because she knew that her only hope of survival might be in the hands of the two people next to the bed.
"Cough, cough ......" seemed to be choking on eating too quickly, Xu Xiaoxiao's swallowing action stopped, and he coughed violently, saliva mixed with food residues, and sprayed on Lu Yu's face at once.
", you ......" Lu Yu looked frightened, and hurriedly grabbed a piece of clothing from the side of the bed, wiped his face frantically, and kept babbling, as if some of the things that Xu Xiaoxiao squirted out just now flew into his mouth.
"Alas, you really killed me......" Lu Yu wiped for a while, his arm suddenly drooped weakly, and he sighed.
"Go get another rope, a thicker one." The man threw the clothes that had wiped his face out of the window and said to the little Lori beside him.
"You ate it?" Xiao Ran was stunned, and the originally little devil-like smile froze on his face, and asked worriedly.
"Seems yes, I'm not sure, let's take a rope to be safe." Lu Yu said in frustration, and snorted twice at the same time.
After a while, Xu Xiaoxiao was surprised to find that Lu Yu was also tied, but he was tied with one hand and one foot, and the other end of the rope was tied to the heavy bookshelf.
After Lu Yu and Xu Xiaoxiao both took adult doses of aspirin, Xiao Ran silently left the room. For a while, only Lu Yu tied to the bookshelf and Xu Xiaoxiao lying on the bed were left in the study.
Lu Yu sat cross-legged next to the bookshelf, staring directly at Xu Xiaoxiao on the bed, without saying a word.
"That, the layout of your house is quite good......" Xu Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed when Lu Yu saw it, and he began to have nothing to say.
"Oh." Lu Yu responded coldly, and didn't want to chat, and continued to look at Xu Xiaoxiao silently.
He was observing the dense cobwebs on the girl's face, and he remembered that Xiao Ran seemed to have started to have a high fever not long after being scratched by a zombie on her ankle, and when he was cleaning Xiao Ran's body, he obviously heard Xiao Ran say that he felt cold.
After that, she was fed a small dose of aspirin, after which Xiao Ran was in a coma for two days and two nights, and after waking up, her appetite was greatly improved, and she also gained an improvement in intelligence and memory.
However, at that time, Xiao Ran's face did not seem to have such a situation as Xu Xiaoxiao - his face was full of black blood vessels distributed like spider webs.
"Well, why do you think I'm going to be a monster when I drink tap water?" Xu Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, and seeing that Lu Yu didn't reply, he asked again.
In fact, she was very curious in her heart, what did this man on the 29th floor know about this catastrophe.
This time, Lu Yu did not answer perfunctorily, but said the speculation in his heart as it was.
Just like in the movie novel, he felt that the outbreak of this catastrophe and the transformation of people into zombies should be a virus. But as far as he knows, of all the known viruses, there seems to be no virus that is so contagious and can break out overnight.
This looks more like a manipulative conspiracy.
Secondly, if the cause of the zombie crisis is the virus, then there must be a way of transmission.
Many viruses can be transmitted through the air, but Lu Yu has had almost zero contact with zombies in so many days after the outbreak of the cataclysm, and has also taken care of Xiao Ran, who is infected with the virus.
Therefore, the second medium of transmission that can cause a large-scale spread of the virus should be tap water, which is inseparable from people's lives.
Therefore, since the outbreak of the catastrophe, Lu Yu has never used raw water to wash the dishes, and all of them are boiled mineral water, and the tap water is only used to wash clothes.
Therefore, Xu Xiaoxiao's behavior of gulping tap water this time undoubtedly ingested a large number of zombie viruses, and it is reasonable to cause infection.
After listening to Lu Yu's explanation, Xu Xiaoxiao was silent again. Listening to Lu Yu, even if she took medicine, she couldn't be 100% sure that she would be able to return to normal, after all, there was only one successful example of Xiao Ran before her.
Originally, Lu Yu just planned to use her to do an experiment, if she can also fully recover, it means that this medicine really has a high probability of being able to cure the virus, but unfortunately, Lu Yu was also tricked, so this experiment of risking her life was carried out by Lu Yu accompaniment.
Time passed slowly in the silence of the two, Xu Xiaoxiao finally couldn't support it, and his consciousness began to blur, and Lu Yu gradually felt sleepiness coming, and couldn't help yawning.
"It's strange, I'm taking aspirin, not sleeping pills, why are I so sleepy?" Lu Yu muttered in his heart, but he didn't resist the instinct of his body, put his hands behind his head, and just lay on the floor and dozed off......
