Chapter 126: Xueshui Takes Action
"Sa...Brother Sa..." Liu Rui almost snatched Xu Sa from Lu Weiyi's hands and held her tightly in his arms.
It was only then that everyone saw that the man who had been smiling and saying to everyone on the intercom "maybe there's meat to eat" now had red spots on his hands, face, and neck, and the skin was slightly raked, with a layer of it peeling off with the slightest touch.
Lu Weiyi felt extremely guilty at this moment. He knew that Xu Sa was a strong-willed person, but he was used to being indifferent and had never asked him privately whether he could do it.
"Is he...sick?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"...Maybe he had heatstroke." Gu Qingyue looked at Xu Sa and replied.
The weather in August and September is already hot. Lu Weiyi is a psychic and can adapt well to the weather. No one else has ever complained that they can't keep up. Although the plan was to take more rest at noon, no one ever mentioned it and he didn't care. No one expected an accident to happen at this time.
In less than a minute, the black blood from the fingernail-sized wound had begun to spread around the body like a spider web. Xu Sa, held tightly in Liu Rui's arms, had begun to twitch slightly.
Nineteen-year-old Liu Rui usually doesn't talk much because of his stuttering. His tears at this moment made everyone clearly feel that he is still a child.
"You guys go pack your things, Liu Rui and I will stay here." Lu Weiyi made a decision in his heart and said to the people around him with a calm but unquestionable expression.
"Let's go clean up the zombies in here." When the few people who had been together for a long time saw this situation, they tacitly pulled the others away.
Lu Weiyi then took out a bottle of melted snow water from the space and handed it to Xu Sa's tightly clenched teeth, "Whether he can survive depends on his luck, feed him."
Liu Rui looked up at Lu Weiyi, not knowing whether he should listen to him. Lu Weiyi didn't care about his attitude at this time.
Compared with Liu Rui, he and Xu Sa have known each other for more than ten years. He thinks he has the power to make decisions for Xu Sa. He pinched Xu Sa's mouth open and poured several mouthfuls of liquid into him.
Lu Weiyi had always known that the heavy snow contained enormous energy, but he never expected that it would have such a powerful effect on humans, especially when fighting against the zombie virus.
The moment Xu Sa drank the water, he thrashed around like a dying fish. The black blood that spread across his body did not get darker, but it did not get less.
Lu Weiyi stared at him intently and gave him two more sips. He felt that he was calm enough. However, he didn't notice that his trembling hand was flowing down Xu Sa's collar into her clothes.
Only Liu Rui, who was beside him, was more excited than him and didn't notice it at all.
Xu Sa was shaking even more violently. Liu Rui knelt on the ground and hugged him tightly, his sobbing voice full of despair.
but--
The dirty blood that spread across his body began to flow back.
…
"It's getting better," Lu Weiyi whispered to Liu Rui.
Liu Rui looked at Lu Weiyi in a daze, without any reaction for a long time.
At this moment, Lu Weiyi deeply understood the meaning of Zhuang Mingxu's words, "Xiaoyi has grown up". He had never seen someone who handled things so calmly in his previous life.
But after his rebirth, many things seemed to be decided by him slowly, especially after Zhuang Mingxu's leg was injured, he seemed to be gradually growing into a pillar of the family.
After drinking water several times, Xu Sa still did not wake up. However, as the black blood was discharged, he stopped shaking and looked like he was asleep. The color of the wound turned red.
"Let's leave it to fate." Lu Weiyi checked Xu Sa's wounds again and whispered to Liu Rui.
Liu Rui still held Xu Sa in his arms without any reaction.
"Are you ready? Let's go back to the base directly after we're done." Lu Weiyi stood up and looked at everyone else.
"Everything here has been sorted out, they have gone to other factories," Gu Qingyue said to Lu Weiyi, pointing to several refrigerators, "This row is still plugged in, and the meat inside is not spoiled."
Lu Weiyi nodded and said to the Gu Qingyue brothers, "You two watch him, I'll go help."
"Don't worry," Gu Qingji said, and walked to Liu Rui's side.
In addition to the factory to be inspected, there was also a factory that processed canned meat. There were a total of four factories that were inspected and all were gone in a short while. Lu Weiyi put away all the refrigerators that were still in operation, and they had sorted out all the semi-finished canned meat products that had not gone bad.
As for those that were not connected to the generator, the meat piled up inside was infested with maggots. The mere sight of it was so disgusting that I wanted to vomit. If I collected them, I felt that it would pollute the space, so I naturally ignored them.
According to their usual habit, they would go around the dormitories and take away all the bedding. Now that Xu Sa's situation was unclear, they hurriedly checked all four factories, dug up the crystal cores, and everyone prepared to leave.
There were thirty or forty small zombies gathered at the gate, half the height of a person. If they still had some human appearance, they would look quite shabby. But now their faces and bodies were covered in rotten flesh, and you could smell the stench even before you got close to them, so they couldn't arouse any sympathy.
Antonio and Li Zhuang stood inside the iron gate, throwing knives and earth spikes flying among the zombies. As the zombies in the front row fell, the pressure of the pushed iron gate suddenly decreased.
"Antonio, open the door and rush out." The three cars had already been assigned to their respective groups. Lin Yimu was still driving the truck. Ning Yuan shouted at the two people at the gate.
"We have killed half of them. Weiyi, collect the crystal cores." It would be a shame not to collect more than twenty crystal cores, Li Zhuang said to Lu Weiyi who was following behind the truck.
"Okay," Lu Weiyi responded, got out of the car and walked to the gate.
He controlled the little green branch and made a circle among the fallen zombies, and finally killed the remaining few little zombies.
On the quiet street, the sound of them banging on the door had already attracted a lot of zombies. If they delayed any further, they might be blocked here.
"Open the door and retreat," Lu Weiyi shouted to Antonio.
Antonio and Li Zhuang ran to the car at the same time. The big lock hanging on the door fell to the ground with a "click". Lu Weiyi controlled the small green branch to pull the doors on both sides. As the zombies squeezed in, the truck rushed out at full speed.
It was noon and everyone was hungry after working all morning, but no one suggested stopping to eat. The three cars headed towards the base at full speed. Any zombies they encountered along the way were directly knocked away by the trucks, and even the crystal cores were not collected.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the group finally returned to the base.
Lu Weiyi wanted to ask Liu Rui to put Xu Sa away to avoid trouble during the inspection, but seeing how distracted he looked, he didn't know if he could listen to him, so let it go.
"Why are you back in the middle of the day?" There were people from the military at the door. Zhuang Mingxu had always maintained a good relationship with them and they greeted each other when they came in and out, so they were familiar with each other.
"Hey, it's so hot. Someone among us may have fainted from heatstroke. Come back quickly and see a doctor. Make sure nothing happens." Ning Yuan said, opening the car window. "The person in the car behind us is still fainted."
A soldier came forward, and Wu Yue opened the car window to let him take a look. "If he had been bitten by a zombie along the way, he would have mutated long ago. He is just hot. This damn weather is really bad. It can make people's skin peel off due to the sun. You should also pay attention to shield yourself from the sun when you are on guard. You will probably get heatstroke if you are exposed to the sun for a while."
"That's right." The man saw the peeling skin on Xu Sa's face and neck, and nodded to the person at the gate.
After another twenty minutes or so, I finally returned to the villa.
I was alone in the villa when I was learning. Everyone else brought their own food in the morning and ate at noon where they were working. I was startled when I heard someone knocking at the door.
When he came out and saw that it was his own car, he trotted over to open the door and asked, "Why are you back in the middle of the day?"
"Xu Sa fainted," Xiong Jie said to him, helping him open the door to let the car in first.
Liu Rui carried Xu Sa directly to the room on the second floor. Lu Weiyi stood in the living room and felt helpless for a moment. He could only try his best to say, "Qingyue, find some heatstroke medicine for him."
"Okay," Gu Qingyue responded.
Lu Weiyi and Liu Rui went to look after Xu Sa. Seeing that they could not help, the others went their separate ways after dinner. No one got enough sleep as they went out early and came back late all day, so most of them went back to their rooms to sleep.
Antonio naturally would not miss this rare date opportunity. As soon as he went out, he ran into Lu Xi driving back with Zhuang Mingxu.
The patrol tram is small and convenient, but it is not cheap. After using it a few times, Zhuang Mingxu stopped renting one. Instead, he asked Lu Weiyi to take a few cars from the space and put them at home. Lu Xi would drive him to the green space in the morning and pick him up in the evening. This saves trouble and does not waste extra supplies.
"Why are you back? Where's Dean?" Antonio asked.
"I heard from the patrolling soldiers that you had heatstroke, so I sent Brother Mingxu back. Dean is in the trading hall. There are patrols inside, so he will be fine," Lu Xi said, "Do you want to go find him? I see dark clouds in the distance. I don't know if it will rain later. How about you bring an umbrella with you in advance, in case you don't have one when you need it."
Antonio looked up at the dark clouds floating in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and finally went back to get two umbrellas.
"Did something happen?" Zhuang Mingxu asked as he entered the house.
Only Xiong Jie was in the living room, accompanying Xi Shi to pick vegetables. The two were talking in low voices. He paused after hearing something and said, "Xu Sa was touched by a zombie and hasn't woken up yet."
"Big Grandpa Bear" Zhuang Aiyi came over from Zhuang Mingxu, sat next to Xiong Jie, picked up a vegetable and picked it in an orderly manner.
Xiong Jie touched his head and gave him a ripe tomato.
Zhuang Mingxu frowned and asked about the details, and finally said, "It should be fine. It's been so long. If it had turned into a zombie, it would have changed a long time ago. Maybe the heatstroke hasn't been relieved yet. Have you taken heatstroke medicine?"
"Qingyue has fed him," Xiong Jie replied.
"Is Xiaoyi up there?" Zhuang Mingxu glanced at the stairs and tightened his grip on the wheelchair.
"Well, I haven't eaten yet." Xi Shi came out from the kitchen and brought three bowls of soup, handing one bowl to each of the three people. "I heard that the temperature has risen again, so I cooked some mung bean soup. Drinking a bowl of it is cool and refreshing. Xiaoxi, after you finish drinking it, give a bowl to your brother and Liu Rui, and see if they want to eat anything. I'll make something for them. You can't stand this weather."
"Okay." Lu Xi gulped down the drink, wiped his mouth, trotted to the kitchen, brought two bowls and went upstairs.
