Chapter 146 Roar (33)
Lan Jin nodded. This was not because they were on guard against Lao Gao, but because everyone had noticed Lao Gao's abnormality, especially today.
At this time, he was wearing a pair of thin trousers and a pure cotton short-sleeved T-shirt. Not only was he far away from the charcoal burning equipment, but sweat was also dripping down his forehead, and white smoke was coming out of his body, as if he was roasted.
Normally it is impossible for it to be so hot in a temperature as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius. Lan Jin felt something was wrong. She took out Lan Qiaoqiao's thermometer and measured the temperature on Lao Gao's forehead. Wow, it was 41.2 degrees Celsius. Such a high temperature could really be fatal.
Lan Jin quickly said, "Don't you feel uncomfortable? Your body temperature is so high, but you don't look like you have a fever. If you feel uncomfortable, tell us immediately. Don't force yourself to bear it."
Lan Jin also had a high fever. 39.5 was the limit, but even this temperature made her feel sore all over and shiver. She couldn't get up from the bed, let alone the high 41.2.
She quickly said, "How about getting some ice to cool you down? The human body can't stay at this temperature forever. It'll really cause problems."
"I feel really hot, too. It's not right, but it doesn't seem like a fever." Lao Gao thought using ice to cool down seemed like a good idea. He said, "I'll go to the rooftop to cool down."
Ling Jiang handed him a fever-reducing pill and said, "Whether it works or not, it will reduce fever. Your body is so hot, so taking this should have some effect."
Lao Gao was a little hesitant, but in order to reassure Ling Jiang, he still swallowed the medicine reluctantly.
His body was already burning hot, and because of the hot water he drank when taking the medicine, he now felt as if his internal organs were soaked in boiling water. Even the breath he exhaled carried a strong heat.
But it was precisely because of that sip of hot water that Lao Gao felt a chill all over his body.
Lao Gao staggered to the stairs and slowly crawled upstairs. White smoke was coming out of his body and he was shaking constantly. His waist was bent very low, as if he was trying his best to climb up but had no strength at all.
Ling Jiang looked anxious. She stepped forward to support Lao Gao and asked, "What's wrong? Are you cold? Do you want to put on more clothes?"
Lao Gao shook his head. He didn't want to speak at all at the moment. But at the same time, Ling Jiang's hands touched his skin while he was helping him up, causing the area of his skin that was touched to be extremely painful. Lao Gao casually knocked Ling Jiang's hands away and said, "I can walk on my own."
Ling Jiang thought Lao Gao was being stubborn and wouldn't leave his side even a step, but Lao Gao pushed Ling Jiang away with all his might, gritting his teeth and saying, "Don't come over here, don't come over here. There's something wrong with me. There's something wrong with me. Don't come near me, don't come over here."
Lao Gao almost roared the last sentence, and then he used all his strength to move towards the rooftop door.
When he arrived at the door, Lao Gao originally intended to cross the rooftop and feel the cool breeze to wake himself up.
But who would have thought that the door to the rooftop was locked tightly with a big lock, and it was impossible to open it at all. The person who kept the lock was Lao Gao himself, but at this moment he didn't realize that a key was needed to open the lock.
Seeing that the door could not be opened, Lao Gao frantically pulled the big lock. His actions were so crazy and violent that people who saw him couldn't help but feel a little scared and subconsciously took two steps back.
But after this frantic pulling, Lao Gao suddenly stopped. He bent down and grabbed the big lock with his hand, as if he was fixed in place, motionless.
After a while, seeing that the noise had really stopped, Ling Jiang boldly climbed two steps and asked carefully, "Lao Gao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling better?"
Seeing Ling Jiang wanted to go upstairs to check the situation, Huang Jinghe, who had been paying attention to Lao Gao's situation, immediately realized that something was wrong. He quickly stopped Ling Jiang and pulled everyone who was approaching the stairs back several steps.
Ling Jiang frowned in confusion, but before she could ask, Lao Gao upstairs made a noise again.
He first released his hands that had been pulling the padlock, and then slowly straightened his bent body. However, he did not stop after standing up, but leaned back in a strange arc.
immediately.
"Ah." He let out a long cry towards the sky.
A roar similar to that of a wild beast came from Lao Gao's mouth.
After the roar stopped, he slowly straightened his body and moved towards them downstairs.
At this moment, Lao Gao's face was so red that it looked like blood could drip out. But what was even more bizarre was his completely gray eyeballs, and the black veins spreading across his cheeks...
At this moment, the simple word "Fuck" cannot describe how horrible it is.
…
Seeing Lao Gao like this, the people downstairs felt a chill all over their bodies. However, they were so close to him that they had no way to escape for a while.
The keys to the rooftop door lock and the door lock of the emergency passage on the 31st floor were all in Lao Gao's hands. All the doors of the remaining four unoccupied rooms were also dismantled by Lao Gao and piled up with wood. In other words, floors 31-33 had become a closed area. Unless someone could hold Lao Gao back and open the door of their house, they would have nowhere to hide.
Moreover, no one knows whether their own door can withstand the critical hit from Lao Gao in this situation, so blindly avoiding it does not mean that it is safe.
The only thing to be thankful for now is that Grandma Ling is at home with the doors and windows closed.
She also took Ran Qiaoqiao and Nana into the space, and the door of her house was closed.
After the elderly, the weak and the disabled are safe, the remaining three of them can always get some spiritual comfort.
…
But I'm afraid it's a normal reaction of the human body.
At this moment, the three of them didn't dare to make any sound, for fear of touching a switch in Lao Gao and making him crazy again.
But there was no need for a switch to drive Lao Gao crazy. When he turned his body to face them downstairs, Lao Gao had already started his preparations for hunting.
He first tilted his left neck, then his right neck, and then he jumped from the spot and jumped straight downstairs.
There was originally only half a floor and a dozen steps between them. For Lao Gao, who had practiced martial arts for many years, he could easily land in front of the three of them after jumping down.
Ling Jiang also practiced martial arts for many years. When encountering danger, her body reacted faster than her brain. The moment Lao Gao jumped down, she subconsciously kicked him in the direction.
But at this time, Lao Gao's muscles were hard and strong. Ling Jiang used all his strength but failed to shake him at all. Instead, he was held by him and could not move at all.
It's a natural disaster apocalypse novel. There are no zombies. This is just a plot.
