Chapter 322: A Quiet Night
Time passed slowly, and as the sun on the horizon sank into the horizon, N City ushered in the sixteenth night after the outbreak of the cataclysm.
The desk in the center of the office was emptied, freeing up the necessary resting space, and at this moment, Lu Yu and Xiao Ran were busy laying things on the ground to prepare for the night's sleepover.
"Well, if this would still be at home, at least I would have been able to drink hot water, and now I can only nibble on compressed biscuits......"
After tidying up his "bed", Lu Yu picked up the flashlight on the side and provided lighting for Xiao Ran next to him.
Because of the power outage and the fact that it was dark outside, there was almost no light in the police office, and the light source in the flashlight could only be relied on to provide lighting.
But fortunately, Gu Changfeng turned out five or six police flashlights from the police station when it was still dark, plus the two that Lu Yu brought out, it was enough to illuminate the entire office.
Xiao Ran, who was spreading the paper shell on the ground, heard Lu Yu's complaint, and a trace of resentment appeared on her good-looking little face, and she answered lightly.
"I haven't seen you thinking about drinking hot water at home for a while, what's the matter, is this a loss before you know how to cherish it?"
Little Lori didn't speak loudly, and there was no one else around, so she didn't attract much attention.
"Sort of...... Eh, people, we often turn a blind eye to what we are accustomed to, and when we really lose it, we will feel that it is precious, and in the final analysis, it is ......cheap."
Putting the flashlight in Xiao Ran's hand, Lu Yu didn't care whether the other party had made up the "bed", put his hands behind his head, picked the most comfortable position, and lay comfortably on the ground.
But before he could enjoy it for a few seconds, Little Lori's pink fist fell on the young man's stomach mercilessly, almost knocking out the water that Lu Yu had drunk before.
"Get up and help me lay it, my strength is too small."
Xiao Ran blinked his good-looking mandarin duck eyes and commanded confidently.
"Eh, you little kid, you have to be self-reliant, you can't make a bed, how will you go to society in the future?"
Lu Yu, who had a bitter face, rubbed his injured stomach and pouted.
Just as the two were arguing, a figure flashed by the door of the office, and then stepped into the range of the flashlight.
"The zombie in the detention room has been dealt with."
The person who entered the office was naturally a young police officer - Gu Changfeng.
After solving the problem of the ownership of the firearm, Gu Changfeng volunteered to take on the responsibility of the squad leader, although he did not say it explicitly, but the behavior he showed confirmed the young police officer's thoughts.
First of all, Gu Changfengzai carefully inspected the inside of the police station, and after confirming that the environment in which they were about to spend the night was really safe, he began a new round of reinforcement of the gate that Lu Yu had previously resisted.
Under Lu Yu's "experience teaching", Gu Changfeng learned the main way zombies perceive their prey, and also learned the fact that some mutated zombies may have vision.
To be on the safe side, the young police officer covered the windows and doors with curtains, and used chairs and tables to cover the parts that could easily be broken.
It's not impregnable, but it shouldn't be a problem to survive a night.
After finishing all this, Gu Changfeng seemed to want to learn more about zombies, so he came to the detention room where the secondary infected body was kept.
Lu Yu thought that the other party was just curious, and wanted to see the appearance of the zombie up close.
Unexpectedly, Gu Changfeng was bold, and directly set out to kill the zombies in the detention room.
"Have you ever been splashed with the body fluids of zombies? If you get splashed, you risk getting infected......"
Lu Yu, who had already sat up from the ground, spoke quietly, originally meant to remind, but it sounded a bit like mockery.
Gu Changfeng frowned, forcibly ignored Lu Yu's tone, and nodded in response.
"Don't worry, thanks to your advance information, I was not splashed with body fluids from the zombies, nor was I scratched or bitten."
Pulling a chair at random, Gu Changfeng sighed heavily after sitting down.
Although he is a policeman, it is the first time in his life to kill zombies, and it is false to say that there are no mood swings in his heart, but because of his professional relationship, he can still control it within the scope of reason, so as not to break down emotionally.
Yu Libo also quickly appeared outside the door, and seeing that Gu Changfeng was already sitting on the chair, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
After a moment's hesitation, the thin man chose to step into the office and came to the side of several people.
It's just depressed
Libo consciously avoided the direction where Lu Yu was and sat down next to Gu Changfeng.
Zhang Tiehua was still in a coma and was dragged to the office by Lu Yu, but it was no longer only a thin clothesline that bound his wrists, but a pair of bright handcuffs.
The few people were silent for two minutes, dealing with the emotions in their hearts.
In the end, it was Gu Changfeng who spoke again and asked Lu Yudao.
"What's next?"
Opening his half-squinted eyes, Lu Yu glanced at Zhang Tiehua, who was unconscious in the corner, and said slowly.
"Wait for Zhang Tiehua to wake up......"
Everyone's attention converged on the unconscious Zhang Tiehua, and then dispersed.
"Indeed, dragging an uncertain factor on the road is very risky, how long does this coma last?"
Gu Changfeng nodded, thinking that what Lu Yu said was very reasonable.
It's just that judging from Zhang Tiehua's comatose state, there seems to be no sign of waking up for a while, and the food and water in the team are all from Lu Yu's supply bag, and there are no other supplies at all.
If Zhang Tiehua can wake up in a short time and give everyone a definite answer, then everything is okay.
If Zhang Tiehua is in a coma for two or three days and does not wake up for a long time, the food in the material bag will soon be consumed.
"How long does the coma last...... It's hard to say, it's as short as three or four hours, or as long as a day or two......."
"A day or two? So long? ā
Hearing Lu Yu's answer, Gu Changfeng frowned.
The food reserves in the supply bags were only enough to last another day, and this was while everyone was cutting back on food and clothing.
If Zhang Tiehua is in a coma for too long, the team will soon face the crisis of starvation.
"Almost......"
Lu Yu prevaricated, and his eyes inadvertently revealed a little uncertainty.
The reason why he gave the answer of being in a coma for a day or two was because of Lu Yu's previous experience.
You must know that after the outbreak of the cataclysm, there were more than one or two humans around Lu Yu who had been infected with the secondary virus.
From Xiao Ran at the beginning, to Zhang Tiehua and Yu Libo recently.
Counting Lu Yu himself, there are six cases of viral infection and then taking aspirin to cure.
Although the above six cases were successfully immune to secondary virus infection, the time after coma was very different.
Xu Xiaoxiao, a muscular girl, was infected after drinking tap water containing the virus, and was successfully cured by taking aspirin, and the coma lasted about 16 hours, that is, an afternoon and a night;
Lu Yu himself woke up a little earlier than Xu Xiaoxiao, about twelve hours;
Two soldiers of the rescue team were injured by the monster and were also successfully cured after being infected, and they were in a coma for about twenty-four hours, that is, a full day.
Yu Libo's coma lasted the shortest, obviously he was scratched by zombies in many parts of his body, but after taking aspirin, he was only in a coma for less than six hours;
Xiao Ran's coma lasted the longest, two days and two nights, that is, forty-eight hours;
Since Gu Changfeng was not told about the fact that aspirin could cure secondary viruses, it was even more impossible for Lu Yu to tell the details of these examples he had experienced.
Only an approximate time range can be given.
"If it's one day we can wait, but if we're in a coma for two days, it's going to be very tricky......"
Gu Changfeng, who was concentrating on thinking, didn't notice the change in the look in Lu Yu's eyes, just rubbed his palm and muttered to himself.
"Yes, if you are unconscious for two days, the situation will be very bad, but you can't throw him away, otherwise I won't know the way......"
Lu Yu muttered in a low voice, pulled out his hands behind his head, and hugged them to his chest.
"Don't know the way? Where are you going? ā
Gu Changfeng asked curiously.
"Go to Simingshan Shelter, just after the catastrophe broke out, the government sent a message, saying that we should go to the nearest shelter independently, and the closest to N City is Simingshan Shelter."
Lu Yu patiently explained that because Gu Changfeng had been locked up in the detention room for fifteen days, he had no means to communicate with the outside world at all, so when the signal was restored, he did not receive the news of evacuation in the first place.
Of course, even if he received the news, Gu Changfeng would not be able to get out of the detention room.
"Siming Mountain...... I didn't hear there's a military base there......"
Gu Changfeng raised his cheek with one hand when he heard this, and asked after thinking for a while.
As a policeman, Gu Changfeng's arrangement of the Huaxia military is actually not much stronger than that of ordinary people like Lu Yu, and it is normal to not know the situation in Siming Mountain.
"The information released by the government must be true, so you don't have to doubt it, how about it, do you know the way there?"
A hint of expectation flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, if Gu Changfeng knew the way to Siming Mountain, then he wouldn't have to wait for Zhang Tiehua to wake up.
When the time comes, throw the other party into the car and take it away.
"Of course I know the road to Siming Mountain, and not everyone is a road idiot like you......"
Gu Changfeng complained and continued.
"But Siming Mountain is not small, do you know the specific location of that shelter?"
"Of course I know this, the specific location is near the Fenghua River Basin, we have a car, and if it doesn't work, we will look for it around."
A relaxed look appeared on Lu Yu's face, as long as there was someone to guide the way, the rest was only a matter of time.
As long as there are no accidents on the way to the shelter, there will be enough time for them to arrive safely tomorrow.
"The location of the evacuation shelter is near the Fenghua River basin......"
Gu Changfeng's face did not show a relaxed look, but he just read a sentence in his mouth.
No one spoke again, and the atmosphere in the office was quiet again, except for the faint howls of the zombies outside the window from time to time.
"The Ronin Who Started from Douluo"
Yu Libo huddled in the corner with his knees huddled, and he didn't seem to be involved in the conversation, but peeking at it from time to time still showed that he was very concerned about the next arrangement.
When he heard that Lu Yu had decided to leave for the Siming Mountain Shelter early tomorrow morning, a trace of hesitation crossed the face of the thin man, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he was swallowed back.
It wasn't until the end of the conversation between Lu Gu and the two that Yu Libo raised his head from between his knees, with a tangled look on his face, and finally spoke.
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, Officer Gu, before going to the Siming Mountain Shelter, can you go to Yunlong Town first...... IāI want to pick up someone......"
Speaking of this, Yu Libo seemed to feel that he had made a very excessive request, and his begging expression was mixed with fear, and he quickly buried the lower half of his face in his knees.
"No, we don't have a lot of oil......"
Lu Yu, who was lying on the ground, lifted Erlang's legs, and without even looking at Yu Libo, he gave a negative answer.
"To Yunlong Town? That's not close......"
Gu Changfeng didn't refuse as indifferently as Lu Yu, tilted his head slightly, and gave an inquiring look.
"And who are you going to pick up?"
"My family ......"
This time, Yu Libo did not evade it, and looked up.
"Your family? Are you sure they're still alive? ā
Lu Yu, who was lying on the ground, had already sat up at some point, and was squinting at Yu Libo.
"No, I don't know ......"
Yu Libo's head shrank two inches into his knees, and his eyes stared helplessly at the stains on the ground.
"If you don't know, let us risk our lives to run for you? Are you silly or stupid when we are us? ā
Lu Yu shook his head, and there were no emotional fluctuations on his expressionless face.
He is not the Virgin Mary, and he will reach out to anyone who asks for help.
And Lu Yu's own situation is not optimistic, you must know that the last of the three pieces of information left by Zhang Heng was to ask Lu Yu not to go far before the end of the year.
Now, because the residential building was destroyed by a black-green fire, he has to embark on a journey to the Simingshan Shelter.
It is difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river itself, so how can he help others?
However, just when Lu Yu thought that this matter had become a foregone conclusion, Gu Changfeng made a different sound.
"Yunlong Town is not far from the Siming Mountain Shelter, from the general direction, it can actually be regarded as the same route, if you just go to confirm it, there should be no problem......
"Here it is again, and here it is, Officer Gu, who is not good at business ability but is enthusiastic, has begun to carry out the ...... justice"
Complaining mercilessly, Lu Yu grabbed a newspaper and covered his face, fell down, and lay on the ground again.
"Good night, please help me turn off the lights, thank you......"
