It tastes terrible
The sky was dark and overcast.
Lu Miao, whose mind was almost turning into a paste, lay on the sofa, feeling exhausted. The water bag on her forehead made her feel a little more comfortable.
Even the cactus cleanse only slowly alleviated the symptoms.
That's the price of breaking the rules.
"There are actually people with diseased bodies..." He Ping'an carefully read the note brought back by Lu Miao.
This was the note that the woman from 701 gave her through the bars of the security door when she returned to the seventh floor.
—Come visit me tomorrow.
"Why tomorrow?" Yu Xiaowan was puzzled. "Why are you sure there will be tomorrow? Isn't it better to crack it as soon as possible?"
Weekend sat on the floor, leaning back against the sofa and rubbing his chin. "The current rules change irregularly. The woman was wearing a white windbreaker. Does that mean she was not one of the same people who came in? However, there is also the possibility that the style is different."
He Pingan grabbed his hair. "If you meet a neighbor who also wears a white raincoat, your doubts will be solved, Brother Zhou."
Weekend turned around and smiled at the lying Lu Miao: "Actually, I want to know what is the basis for you to dare to go out?"
She glanced at Weekend weakly. "First, it was our first time going out, and our symptoms became more severe, but the rules allowed us to go out. The shorter the rules, the more information they conceal. Second, the man who scouted the place was dressed similarly to us, and he was unharmed outside the door. Third, do you remember the message at the bottom of the bottle?"
"Does it like cooked meat?"
“We’re not familiar with each other yet.”
They were instantly horrified.
"Is it cooked in the physical sense or..."
"have no idea."
Wang Keke rubbed his arms. "Let's talk about something less scary. Are those people who eat people zombies? The disease plus eating people is very similar to the setting of zombies."
He Pingan was speechless. "Isn't it scary to talk about zombies?"
"Zombies are visible and can be prevented, so they are not scary."
"Zombies are unconscious and can't talk, right?"
"...That's right. So he's a pure psychopath?"
"There is another detail." Lu Miao added: "These sick lunatics are all wearing old gas masks, while 701 is wearing a relatively new one."
"The situation this time is very complicated." Wang Keke held his chin with his hand, looking listless.
At this time, Yu Xiaowan raised her hand weakly. "Um... I want to say something."
"you say."
Her right eye glowed with a mysterious light. "Since the rules were updated, I feel like there are fewer 'people' in the room. It feels like a lot of pressure has been relieved."
Hearing this, they were stunned.
The doors and windows were closed tightly in the room. Everyone was sweating profusely, but they felt cold all over, as if a cold wind was blowing through their pores.
"besides……"
They were horrified, afraid that she would say something terrible again.
"Last time in the gymnasium, this time in the house, I felt like someone was spying on us." Yu Xiaowan glanced at the rule paper on the coffee table subtly.
For example, right now, the feeling of being watched is extremely strong.
The purple words on the paper were written with sharp strokes, like a knife against her throat, warning her not to talk nonsense.
She felt uncomfortable all over.
Wang Keke sat next to Yu Xiaowan. "I'd rather deal with visible anomalies."
"You survived the strange story field in the gymnasium, so the prying eyes should not have any malicious intent for the time being." Weekend guessed. "I think the message with four different handwritings hides the malicious intent, I don't know if it's true or false."
The coldness on his forehead made Lu Miao's thoughts speed up. "This time, there is no message from the family of three behind the rules. Xiao Wan feels that there is a lack of 'people' in the room. The two are related."
"A family of three is out."
"So far, the messages from the family of three are harmless; the messages behind the sofa and under the rules seem urgent, eager to tell us something."
They agreed with Lu Miao's words.
He Pingan: "It is very likely that the space they live in overlaps with the space we live in."
Before I knew it, the sky was getting darker and darker, with a dim red light shining on the horizon.
Sweat kept pouring out, they couldn't drink water, and their throats were like dry deserts, smoking with thirst.
Teach them to hold buttons in their mouths on weekends to keep saliva secreted in their mouths.
"It's just past 11 o'clock in the morning and it's so dark." Wang Keke complained in a low voice.
Lu Miao glanced at his watch.
It was indeed after 11 o'clock.
It was past 11 o'clock...she had a flash of inspiration, and she felt increasingly tired from overworking her brain.
Standing at the window on the weekend, looking down at the building, I watched the floating gray particles slowly fall, covering the green belt downstairs with a layer of gray.
What a strange weather phenomenon.
"Someone is walking out of the building," he suddenly reminded.
Everyone rushed to the window to look down.
Unexpectedly, the person downstairs had only taken two steps when a blood mist suddenly exploded, dyeing the fallen body and the ground red.
The red color on the ground and the red light in the sky complement each other.
Lu Miao was shocked. "You can leave the house but you can't leave the building... But this morning, I clearly saw someone running through the children's playground and into the building."
"Maybe someone who has just entered the field of ghost stories?"
Gurgle...
Everyone was hungry.
Wang Keke gritted her teeth. "I'll go back and keep an eye on the rule paper! Dog rules, dog weird talk, I don't believe we are forbidden to eat all the time!"
Unexpectedly, after she opened her mouth for more than ten minutes, new rules came out.
They were finally able to drink water and eat food.
Thank you for your cooperation in prevention and control. Night is about to fall. Now please be sure to follow the following rules to help you stay sane.
1. The time unit for the effectiveness of these rules is hours.
2. It is forbidden to go out or visit neighbors.

(Wait until dawn, don't ■■)

Disaster

All the curtains in the room were drawn again.
The bathroom window was covered with window paper, but the exhaust fan above was hollow, so they found some paper to seal it.
In the kitchen where there are no curtains, they also stick paper on it as window paper.
For the first time, they found nutritional supplements delicious, convenient and left a lingering taste between their teeth.
Especially Wang Keke, she never dared to dislike nutritional supplements again.
Lu Miao deliberately bit the mouth of the nutrient tube and swallowed slowly, because she found that when she ate, her thinking was clearer and the fog in her mind was dispelled by five points.
"The message under the rules was blacked out. Now we can be sure that the person who left the message behind the sofa is trustworthy and this 'person' can help us. As for the sentence under rule 7, the font is the same, also purple with gold glitter, but combined with the context, it seems to have been inserted suddenly, which is very suspicious."
I totally agree with this weekend.
He had encountered a similar situation in Nanjiang Botanical Garden. He took the initiative to test it and found it was a trap.
The studious Yu Xiaowan wrote it down in his notebook.
"The message after rule 5 is written by a young man. Its authenticity is questionable and will not be enforced. The message after rule 6 is written by 'Dad' and is the same as the message inserted in rule 7. They can both prove that they are correct rules and jointly design a trap."
Lu Miao sneered: "'Dad's' position has become suspicious. The contents of his messages and notes cannot be trusted."
He Ping'an held the tube in his mouth and recorded the time when it got dark.
"The words 'delicious' and 'unpalatable' are written in crooked characters, like a child who has just learned to write. Could they be written by the Domain Lord?" Wang Keke guessed.
Yu Xiaowan's face turned pale as she took notes quietly, her handwriting shaky.
Everyone had half of their drinking water left, and they didn't dare drink too much. They just took a few sips to moisten their throats.
"It's not ripe, so it tastes bad?" Lu Miao muttered to himself.
Weekend glanced at Yu Xiaowan who was fidgeting. "You look scared."
Her whole body trembled and she pointed to the right side of Weekend with trembling hands.
They turned to look.
The weekend suddenly held its breath.
At some point, there appeared a pink mug on his right hand side.
"Coco, is that your cup?"
Wang Keke's face was as pale as paper. "No, just because I dyed my hair pink doesn't mean I like pink very much."
No one recognized the cup as their own.
"Could it be——"
"Stop!" Lu Miao said sternly. "Don't worry about whose cup it is, just remember that we have -"
She paused, her thoughts stuck. "Five people will do."
The pink cup remained in place, as if its owner was quietly participating in their discussion.
As if he was a member of their fluorescent green team.
Only five people!
They said to themselves, keep it in mind.
"From now on, we will ignore the appearance of items that do not belong to us," Lu Miao whispered. "And then, engrave the appearance of your teammates in your mind."
They nodded solemnly.
"Once you wear the team badge, you can never take it off."
Lu Miao put on the fluorescent green film earrings.
He Ping'an put on the fluorescent green choker with an expressionless face and fastened it twice before he could fasten it.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a pair of dark grey men's slippers, twice the size of the ones he wore.
Fortunately, before leaving, Lu Miao applied for a temporary choker to wear on the weekend, which he would need now.
One, two, three, four, five.
There were five people sitting around the coffee table.
There are seven reflections on the reflective surface of the coffee table.
Click.
Yu Xiaowan's ears were sharp. "There's a noise outside the door!"
Lu Miao's expression was grim. "Those guys have tools to cut through the security door."
Without caring about the rules or irregularities, Weekend immediately opened the inner wooden door, and was greeted by a foul smell.
Outside the security door, two people wearing gas masks were holding huge pliers and twisting the fence of the security door.
The man who knocked on the door during the day was indeed scouting the area.
However, the two people outside the door showed no intention of retreating. Instead, they excitedly worked hard to twist the fence, and the people behind the door were helpless.
"Open the door and catch them in." Lu Miao came up with a plan. "Ping An and Xiao Wan, get the knife."
Weekend grinned, opened the security door directly, and pulled the first person's collar into the house.
Then, Wang Keke grabbed the second person's hair and dragged him in. "You're courting death! How dare you mess with the Tai Sui!"
Lu Miao closed the door and locked it.
In the kitchen, Yu Xiaowan handed a knife to He Pingan behind her.
When she turned around, she saw that He Ping'an's appearance had become more delicate, with a feminine appearance and a fluorescent green choker around his neck.
She calmly handed over the boning knife.
Ping An is a boy.
Ping An is a boy.
Ping An is a boy.
"Sister Xiao Wan?"
Yu Xiaowan came back to his senses and picked up the entire knife rack.
In her eyes, He Ping'an was no longer feminine, and his face had returned to its thin and handsome appearance.
Yu Xiaowan: "Let's go back to the hall. They are waiting anxiously."
