Chapter 60 Ball Me
Lu Weiyi and his companions did not stay in the village, but chose a small yard outside the village close to the road. Fortunately, the yards in the countryside are large and can accommodate three cars.
An old couple lived in the yard. They had turned into zombies and were wandering around the yard without going out. They were killed one by one by Antonio who was exploring the way, and one of their beads was taken away by Lu Weiyi who followed in.
It was already dark. A few people lit torches, patrolled the surroundings, and then locked the gate directly. Xu Sa took Liu Rui for a walk and carried out a jar of sauerkraut and half a bag of flour. "There are dozens of bags of unthreshed wheat and a whole bunch of corn in the room over there."
"There are a lot of green vegetables in the vegetable garden." Gu Qingyue looked happy as he held an arm full of tomatoes, followed by Gu Qingji who was holding cucumbers.
"The water tank is still full of water." Xi Shi, who was busy behind the stove, was also very surprised. You know, in today's situation, water is more precious than food.
"Water?" Lin Yimu and Li Zhuang walked over at the same time, took a look at the clear and cool water in the water tank, and looked at each other, a little hesitant.
"What's wrong?" asked Xiong Jie, who came in holding a bunch of firewood.
"I don't know if you can drink it," Lin Yimu said, and told him what happened in the heavy rain that day. Xi Shi, who was standing by, was horrified and grabbed Xiong Jie's arm and said fearfully, "It's a good thing I didn't let you drink it."
Xiong Jie was still frightened at this time, and patted his hand to comfort him, "I will never do anything that you don't allow me to do in the future."
Xi Shi nodded. Xiong Jie took a look at the full water tank and thought there was no need to waste it. He said to the others, "Since we are not sure, let's not try it. We still have a lot of water and drinks from the supermarket. Why don't we use them to clean up? It's so hot and we're sweating. It will cool down if we wipe it."
"That's fine," said Antonio, "one basin for each person."
"Sure," Xu Sa responded readily and called out to Liu Rui, "Little stutterer, come and give you a bath."
"Then wait until you all finish washing up, and I'll heat up the rice." There was still a lot of rice cooked in the morning, but it was all meat and vegetables. After it cooled, a layer of oil floated on it, making it look a bit greasy. When Xi Shi saw a stove, he planned to light a fire to heat it up.
"Okay, let's take a shower..."
A group of people who are easily satisfied, happily queuing up to scrub. Although they are all men, they have different attributes, so they are divided into groups tacitly.
There were only three basins in the house, and eleven people would have to wash them several times, so they simply divided into three teams, one team to wash, one team to defend, and the other team to search the yard for something eatable. As for the two extra people, they were Xi Shi and Xiong Jie, the only two people who could operate the earthen stove. Xi Shi made some dough and planned to steam some buns with the vegetables in the yard, and Xiong Jie helped him.
The stored water was limited, so I only dared to use one bucket. I used a two-layer steamer and steamed it three times before stopping. The others also took a shower and changed into clean clothes. A row of washed clothes was placed in the corner of the yard, waiting for Xi Shi and Xiong Jie to finish washing before having dinner.
Li Zhuang sat on the jujube tree in the yard, picked an unripe green jujube and chewed it boredly. He looked around while keeping watch for the two of them. In the middle of the yard, several people were discussing whether to take away the wheat and corn, and how to take them away. Lu Weiyi never participated in these things, so he was pulled by Dean to the vegetable garden, holding a torch to light his way.
The child probably has never been to a vegetable garden. He is curious about everything he sees, asking whether this is ripe or how to eat that. Poor little chatterbox, he couldn't communicate fluently with others, and when he met Lu Weiyi, he was in no mood to talk, so he was happy just talking to himself.
Li Zhuang found Lu Weiyi, who was acting as a tool, funny for a moment, so he picked a green date and threw it over to him. Lu Weiyi dodged it swiftly, pulled Dean back two steps, and looked around vigilantly.
"What's wrong?" Dean also looked around vigilantly, but found nothing, so he asked Lu Weiyi.
As soon as there was a movement here, Antonio, who was always paying attention to this place, was immediately alarmed. He asked what happened and walked quickly over here. At the same time, several other people also became alert.
"Little boy, you are very alert." Seeing that things had gotten out of hand and Lu Weiyi also looked over, Li Zhuang was the first to admit that he was the one who caused the trouble.
Under the flickering torchlight, Lu Weiyi rolled his eyes coldly and said, "Childish."
Knowing that nothing was wrong, the others continued to argue enthusiastically.
"Hehe, I'm exercising..." Li Zhuang stopped talking abruptly, raised his hand and swung it quickly to the left. The messy branches blocked the knife. The rustling of jujube twigs and leaves obscured the sound. He felt a pain in his arm. Li Zhuang thought to himself that something was wrong, jumped down from the tree and shouted to others, "Be alert!".
Several people in the courtyard immediately stopped discussing and formed a circle, looking around vigilantly. Antonio escorted Dean and Lu Weiyi to where there were more people, and asked, "What is that?"
“I didn’t see it clearly”
"cat"
The voices of Li Zhuang and Lu Weiyi came at the same time.
"Cat?" Several people who had seen zombie animals immediately responded, "Zombie cat?"
"Hmm." This flexible and petite thing is indeed difficult to handle. Lu Weiyi used his mental power to determine its location, "On the courtyard wall behind the jujube tree."
The group looked over and saw, in the dim firelight, a small animal on the wall leaning over and suddenly attacking Li Zhuang, who was closest to it.
With a "clang", the triangular knife in Li Zhuang's hand hit his attack route and blocked its attack. The zombie cat rolled on the ground and immediately turned to the people behind him. Antonio, who was holding an eggplant in his hand, threw the eggplant out and hit it directly on the zombie cat's head, causing it to fall to the ground.
Only then did everyone see clearly that the cat in front of them was no more than a few months old. Its greasy black fur had fallen off in all places, and the remaining fur was a dirty ball. A piece had fallen off the side of its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth. As it leaned forward and howled, it looked terrifying.
Lin Yimu was about to go over to help when Lu Weiyi pulled him back.
The smaller the zombie animals are, the more difficult they are to deal with. Researchers once said that if insects also turned into zombies, humans would have basically no chance of survival. Even if a group of zombie insects cannot turn a person into a zombie, they can still gnaw him into bones.
Lu Weiyi remembered that he had encountered zombie cats in his previous life. The difference was that they were mother and baby cats, three zombie cats, one big and two small. When they were about to arrive at Qingyuan City, more than twenty people died in order to resist the three cats. It was also at that time that Zhuang Mingxu was bitten by the head of a zombie cat with a broken body. Only then did they realize that if the zombies were not shot in the head, they could still bite people even if only a head was left.
Fortunately, there are four people with special powers in their group, so it should not be too difficult to chase and intercept them. Even if they are bitten, the bodies of the people with special powers will not be invaded by the energy of the zombies at this stage. At most, they will feel uncomfortable for a while, which is much better than dying.
"Antonio and Liu Rui stay, and the rest of you go back to the house," Lu Weiyi said, walking slowly forward with a machete in his hand.
Although the people behind him didn't understand the reason, they obviously found that the four people left behind were all psychics. They reminded them to "be careful" and quickly retreated back to the room.
The zombie cat screamed and came towards Lu Weiyi. Lu Weiyi had been locking onto its movements with his mental power, and immediately chopped at it with a machete. The kitten twisted flexibly and only a part of its tail was chopped off. At the same time, using the force of its tail, it changed direction and headed towards Liu Rui next to it.
Liu Rui came in a hurry with only a stick in his hand. He hit the cat with the stick, but the cat rolled on the spot and dodged it.
Therefore, this kind of petite and flexible animal is the most troublesome.
No one knew much about animals like zombie cats, so no one dared to step forward rashly. The four of them attacked each other, causing quite a few injuries. One person even had a leg chopped off, but none of them were fatal.
"I'll control it, you just chop off my head." Lu Weiyi has the mental power to cover his body with a layer of mental membrane to protect himself, but others can't do it. If they continue like this, they will get hurt. As he spoke, he drove the little green branch closer to the zombie cat.
Under the light of several torches, the little green branch could not be seen at all, but the zombie cat seemed to be able to sense it. It turned its head towards the direction of the little green branch, pausing for a moment with curiosity and vigilance. At this moment, Lu Weiyi immediately used the little green branch to tie up the zombie cat tightly, "Now."
As soon as he finished speaking, all kinds of weapons were thrown at it, and the small kitten was instantly turned into mud, with some rotten meat splashed up.
Liu Rui cautiously turned it over with a stick, and after making sure it was deader than dead, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Animals...have all become...zombies."
"How disgusting." Antonio looked at his pants that were splashed with a few drops of black blood with some disgust, but he had just changed his clothes and he had no clean ones to change into.
"Dead?" The person hiding in the room heard the noise and asked.
"Yes," Antonio walked towards the door, "you can come out."
While taking back the little green branch, Lu Weiyi also got a bead core from the zombie cat's brain. He used his mental power to check around and found that there were no such things. He turned around and followed Antonio into the room.
“Li…Brother Li…” Liu Rui stuttered and shouted from behind, “You…were bitten…bitten!”
As if they had been paused, everyone's eyes turned straight to Li Zhuang, who was standing at the end. They were stunned, surprised, and unbelievable. But they recovered in an instant. Antonio immediately turned around and walked over. Seeing the three small scratches on his arm, he asked, "Was it a cat scratch?"
Among the four people left, the two with the best skills are definitely Antonio and Li Zhuang. If it was Liu Rui or Lu Weiyi who was attacked, Antonio would not be too surprised, but it is Li Zhuang, which makes people feel a little unbelievable.
"Brother Li" Gu Qingyue didn't know what to say for a moment.
"How does it feel?" Gu Qingji asked.
Dean also stood aside silently, looking at Li Zhuang with some sadness.
They were the first people to be together, and although they had only been together for half a month, the feelings of dependence behind them were different.
"He won't necessarily turn into a zombie. Antonio was bitten and he was fine." Lin Yimu glanced at the blackened wound on his arm and felt that he didn't even believe the words of comfort.
"It's okay." Li Zhuang withdrew his arm that was being watched, looked around with a half-smile, still the same carefree and unfocused person, "If I turn into a zombie, remember to hit me on the head."
Lu Weiyi couldn't stand his carefree attitude, as if everything was under control. He looked at Li Zhuang and raised his eyebrows, "If you beg me, I can consider saving you."
