Another day passed.

The rat didn't die or wake up. Little Johnny's blood didn't dry either, and it still didn't come out.

Because the time couldn't be dragged on too long, Xiang En couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and pierced a few more cuts in Little Johnny's neck, the abdomen was cut open, and the knife rose and fell, and the scene couldn't bear to look at it directly......

When she came out of the utility room, Andrea's legs were shaking like Parkinson's, she couldn't walk without Xiang Eun's help, her eyes were demented, and she muttered, "I, I'm going to have nightmares......"

Xiang En, who was holding her, was also pale, and the hand holding Andrea was trembling, and her face was quite pale.

He's probably going to have nightmares too......

It was the third day since the attack by the living corpses, and the clouds in the sky had risen a lot, and it seemed a little less depressing.

The end of the world is like a joke, only a black rain and meteorites appeared that day, and everything after that was calm, and the monsters in the forest were not affected much, and the current situation can not be called the end of the world.

Even the water in the stream became a little clearer, and both began to doubt the reality of the apocalypse.

Today the two are not going to hunt, but are going to collect wood that will be used to expand the basement.

The prey in the wild is gradually reducing their activity due to the cooler weather, and they have been stockpiling food since autumn, which is more prepared than Xiang En and Andrea.

And before making sure that the animal's meat can be eaten, Xiang En does not plan to store too much food, and the food collected in the first two days has to be air-dried.

Either pickled or smoked.

With a good cooking skill, he has long wanted to do a big job, but he has never had the opportunity before, and time does not allow him to make exquisite dishes leisurely.

Xiang En stayed in the village to handle the food, and Andrea took a sharp axe and ran to the forest outside the village to cut down trees.

There was a lot of coarse salt in the village, enough for Xiang Eun to use, but not a single spice, except for the otherworldly pepper, which reacted with alcohol, and he only found white tree fruits that had a similar effect to garlic.

After the meat is cured, it is then air-dried, and these processes do not need to be guarded, and Xiang En turns to the underground alchemy room to move the cabinets and prepare to expand the basement.

The medicine cabinet was dismantled, and it took a lot of effort to remove all the cabinets.

The empty basement was planned by Xiang Eun, preparing to chisel a new room on the other side, and he had to be careful not to be crushed by the wooden house overhead.

The basement here is all smooth and flat with air-dried yellow mud, like lime walls up and down, left and right, and the materials are presumably ant nests and water.

During the busy work, Andrea had already returned from carrying several tree trunks, and she was tired and sweating.

An unpretentious day passes......

In the afternoon, Xiang En took the sweaty Andrea to the backyard of the village chief's house, and patiently opened the wooden door of the utility room with the smell of fish.

The oil lamp illuminated the scene inside, and although she didn't really want to see it, Andrea glanced at it.

Little Johnny's head was hanging on the barrel, and he only moved slightly when he heard the sound of the wooden door, and he no longer had the strength to scream, because his lungs were not in their original positions......

A squeaky sound clearly reached the ears of the two, and the rat that was originally dying became alive, and when they saw the two, they frantically hit the wooden cage.

Xiang En's heart was half cold, and he lowered his head to carefully look at the rats in the cage, the appearance of the voles at this time had changed a lot from before.

A large amount of hair fell out, revealing spots like dark spots on Little Johnny's skin.

These characteristic changes were inconspicuous in the dimly lit utility room, but they were evident when Xiang En looked closer.

Wound infection......

What kind of trouble!

There won't be airborne transmission, right?!

Xiang En stood up, a chill along his back all the way to the top of his head, trembling and retreating, and after a few steps, he was hugged by Andrea for unknown reasons.

Andrea turned her head sideways, stuck her head out of Xiang En's shoulder, and after seeing Xiang En's expression at this time, she was stunned, and said with a little stammer: "Yes, is there anything bad to discover?" Your expression ......"

A whisper from his ear woke Xiang En, he reached out and touched his face, only then did he realize the richness of his expression, shook his head in a daze, and waited for Andrea to exit the utility room, Xiang En also retreated from that uneasy mood.

If there is no airborne transmission, a simple wound infection Xiang En will not be too afraid, and as long as the purification technique is redeemed in the future, it is not difficult to disinfect the wound.

But he is well aware that when a person smells the smell of what he pulls out, what he pulls out is already being sucked into the body.

After smelling blood, it is possible that something in Little Johnny's blood is already in the body, and it may be the cause of intake that it is not highlighted.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiang En took off the kettle on his waist and handed it to Andrea, so that she could taste the sweet finger dew.

Gollum!

Andrea didn't ask what the reason was, she was just thirsty and drank all the accumulated dew in one go, sweet and delicious, clearing heat and relieving heat, good medicine!

"What did you find?"

After drinking the water, Andrea refocused her attention on the loss of consciousness that had just been given to Xiang Eun.

Xiang En didn't know how to explain to Andrea in order to make her realize the seriousness of the problem without destroying her enthusiasm for survival, so she thought for a long time before she spoke, "You also saw the situation of Little Johnny, the vole bitten by it has now become the same ...... as Little Johnny"

"Huh?"

Andrea is used to not using her brain, and she can't think of the seriousness of the problem for the time being, so she just looks like she is listening carefully.

Seeing this, Xiang En sighed slightly.

"Voles become like that when they are bitten, and when we are bitten, will they become like that? There are also dozens of villagers who have run to the forest, and if the animals in the forest are bitten, we may be surrounded by crazy animals! ”

"Huh?"

Only then did Andrea understand the seriousness of the matter, her eyes widened, and she looked so surprised that she lost her mind, and said, "Really, it will ...... Will it turn out like that? ”

When Xiang En was about to comfort her a few words, she was suddenly stunned again, and her expression returned to normal.

Andrea grabbed Xiang En's hand, looked sincere, looked at each other affectionately, and said, "It's okay, I will always be by your side!" Uh......"

As soon as she said that, Andrea couldn't go on, and Xiang Eun's stunned appearance made her extremely shy.

When she was in the utility room, she saw Xiang Ennayin with a complex negative expression of panic, fear, and confusion, and a natural idea came up.

Xiang En is also a human being, and he will show such a helpless expression, so he should also hope that someone can understand and comfort him, right? ’

Although Andrea doesn't talk much, her mind is extremely active, thinking about things all the time, and her heart is sensitive.

After facing the test of life and death repeatedly, her mentality is better than that of Xiang En, but her ability to resist pressure is not as good as that of a modern time-traveler who accepts negative information all day long.

Seeing Xiang Eun, who had always comforted herself as a "strong", showed such a "weak" expression, Andrea's heart softened, and then she couldn't help but want to be a mother once.

Grabbing hands is to show determination, looking at each other is for sincerity, and it can be summed up as "Mom" loves you.

But Xiang En looked dumbfounded, not moved, which was not what Andrea expected.
