Chapter 8
Chapter 8
After the hustle and bustle of the early morning, the surroundings fell into calm again, and there was no trace of human smoke.If those zombies without breathing and heartbeat count.
After the child woke up, he made do with his breakfast, and Yu Qiu ate some of Tan Panpan's leftover crispy noodles and drank a few sips of water while he was starving.
Until the candle burned halfway through, red tears piled up on the candle, and the night finally came again.
The sound sleep during the day did not affect Tan Panpan in the slightest, and he still slept soundly at night.
Yu Qiu couldn't sleep.
One is that he is really hungry, and the other is that those human flies are coming.
He couldn't ignore the strange and eerie voice, and the advice of the man he met by chance still rings in his ears, so Yu Qiu naturally has to be vigilant.
He gradually figured out the pattern, the human flies come when the night falls and the moon rises, and leave when the dawn breaks in the morning, working and resting regularly like a strict old man.
Zombies, on the other hand, are the complete opposite. They return when the sun sets, and their world is ruled by day.
This is actually very similar to normal human beings. They are active during the day and rest at night. Yu Qiu speculates that this may be because they still retain some primitive human instincts.
Although Yu Qiu didn't understand the reason, but knowing this information would give him more chances to live.
There is no doubt that the lethality of the two should be evenly matched.Yu Qiu had never seen the real appearance of the human fly, but the attitude of the man who told him was very obvious, let alone the zombie.
The experience that almost caused him to collapse in the past few days can explain everything.
From the information Yu Qiu got from the man, two things can be confirmed. The human flies carry the zombie virus, and if they are infected, they will definitely join the army of zombies.
And the zombies infected once can be infected again, just like the butterfly effect, snowballing out of control.
Yu Qiu still remembers the news he saw before he left the research institute. It said that the leakage of carbon nine caused the ecological environment to be destroyed, such as the withering of plants and flowers, the death of poultry and wild animals, and the invasion and destruction of human bodies, and the pollution of water sources. .
Individually these things may not have caused a great panic, but when they all came together, the situation developed to an absolutely irreparable seriousness.
Otherwise, those villagers wouldn't be so crazy when they saw the helicopter.
Although he didn't come to the nearby villages often, he generally knew that there were nearly a thousand people in Qingyang County, and it was impossible for them all to suffer disaster all at once.
Those villagers are the best proof. There has been a lot of activity in his place in the past two days, but there is no popularity around him. Yu Qiu guessed that they probably gathered together.
After all, it is better to hold a group for warmth than face it alone, and if Yu Qiu is given a chance, he will join in.
Before the apocalypse, Yu Qiu believed in science. The reason given by the leak of carbon nine to destroy the ecological balance is understandable, but the appearance of human flies, which turns people into zombies, does not make sense in terms of science.
The zombie movie is fiction after all, the origin of the zombie virus has always been a bug, and now the reality is an unclear mystery in front of all human beings.
But since it will appear, there must be a reason. Yu Qiu believes that this is definitely not a coincidence. Maybe he doesn't know it yet, but one day there will be an answer.
The night was getting darker and darker, and Yu Qiu gradually began to feel drowsy, but he didn't sleep for long.The temperature dropped sharply at night, which was different from the cold current that flowed into the house last night, wrapping around Yu Qiu and taking away the warmth from his body.
Yu Qiu's new clothes are not too thin but not too thick. They are the latest trendy brand of jackets. They are black in color, with red edges on the collar and cuffs; they are 100% polyester, known as windproof, waterproof and fireproof. Not to mention UV protection.That's what Xiao Zhou said when he bought it back. Yu Qiu was dubious and dubious, so he took it with him when he left.
The jacket was really good, at least Yu Qiu didn't feel the slightest chill last night, but it didn't work today.
He opened his eyes tremblingly, touched the goose bumps on his neck, and almost swears.
He felt that Xiao Zhou must be fooling him, because he agreed to Fangfeng.
There was still some sleepiness in Yu Qiu's eyes, he lit the candle in a daze, and was startled by the dim light.
It must have been raining outside the house. The geographical location here is lower than other places, and the flowing water poured backwards to form a finger-thick small pool, which can raise a fish.
The cardboard box has been soaked for a long time, and the bottom is soft and it is estimated that it will not last long.As a result, as soon as Yu Qiu's idea fell, the bottom of a box that Tan Panpan was lying on really tilted and collapsed, and the stones inside were no longer blocked, trying to run out.
Yu Qiu didn't have time to scold him with a crow's mouth, and without caring about his soaked shoes, he quickly grabbed the sleeping Tan Panpan into his arms.
This fishing was good, but Yu Qiu was about to face even worse things.
Tan Panpan has a fever.
No wonder he was able to sleep for so long, it was obviously lethargic.Yu Qiu didn't take care of children before, and didn't expect this kind of situation, so he committed such a big sloppy.
It's just that it doesn't help to blame yourself now, the most urgent thing is what to do.
Fever is the most troublesome thing. Yu Qiu has always been in good health since he was a child and has never been sick since he was a child. It was only because of Xiao Zhou that he knew about the fever.
Xiao Zhou caught a cold at that time, and his body fluctuated from cold to hot, and he was in a daze for a long time. It took three days to take medicine and drip to fully recover.
The current conditions are poor, where does he go to find medicine and drip.Excessive fever can be fatal.
Yu Qiu was in a hurry, and went out holding Tan Panpan who was like a stove, either to stay or not, the small room just trapped him in place.
There is a small hidden window in the room, the size of a palm, Yu Qiu didn't close it to save his breath, and by the candlelight, he could see a few wisps of rain drifting in in the dark night.
Suddenly, a scalp-numbing crash came from the window, and it exploded with a "bang" like raindrops, shaking off several pieces of the wall.
The buzzing seems to want to come in through the window, as if the light is attracting it.
Yu Qiu stared at the transparent wings that flashed by, and the two people and flies came to mind and couldn't get rid of them.
He stepped back twice, accidentally knocked over the candle in a panic, the candle sank into the water with a plop, and then a few strands of smoke floated in the air.
This sound is not big, but it is not small. When people are emotionally tense, they may not be able to hear it even if a needle is dropped.
The human flies whistled in the wind, and the sound of impact echoed in the air, countless times and how many.It could be just a few, it could be... thousands of them.
Time passed by a minute and a second, and the palm-sized opening was forcibly knocked open a corner, and cracks scattered around the corner as the center point, like cracks.
The long and narrow dark brown tentacles suddenly drilled in, the bricks around the wall gradually loosened, and the fine cement crumbs fell into the water like dust in an instant.
Apparently it was only a matter of time before it came in.
In his arms, Tan Panpan was talking in his sleep, immersed in his own world, murmuring for mother and father for a while, and calling for brother uncomfortable after a while.
Yu Qiu was dripping water, staring at the window, stepping back step by step to the secret door, using the outer room separated by the door as the last hole card.
He touched the doorknob, and was about to push it in, when a sharp female cry of mourning suddenly resounded through the sky, looking desperate like a dying animal.
In an instant, countless small and strange buzzing sounds whizzed past as if brushing the scalp, and the nearby eaves tiles were torn down by brute force.
The human fly, which was persistently hitting it repeatedly, stopped moving, and then flapped its wings and flew away quickly in the next second, as if to snatch some delicious food.
Hearing the scream, Yu Qiu felt his heart throbbing, feeling powerless.My heart was in a mess, I didn't dare to think about anything, I just hoped that Tan Panpan would be fine.
He couldn't save that woman, and he didn't want Tan Panpan to die in front of his eyes. The child is so young, and his life is still very long, so he shouldn't be buried like this; he hasn't seen his parents yet, how could he leave like this.
Yu Qiu stretched out her index finger and gently rubbed away Tan Panpan's frowning brows, pulled off the jacket and wrapped the child in her arms, so that the child would not be so helpless and she would not feel so cold.
He just guarded Tan Panpan all night, suffering until dawn.During the period, I tried everything I could, such as cold compresses, but the heat on Tan Panpan's body remained high.
Yu Qiu clearly realized that the child needed medicine, and there was no delay.
