Chapter 39 Reversal
Another day passed.
Shushu was not dead, nor did he wake up. Little Johnny's blood was not drained, and the result still hasn't come out.
Since the time could not be too long, Xiang En held back the trembling in his heart, made a few more cuts on Little Johnny's neck, cut his abdomen open, the knife was raised and lowered, and the scene was once unbearable to look at...
When she came out of the utility room, Andrea's legs were shaking like Parkinson's, she couldn't walk without Xiang En's support, her eyes were dull, and she murmured: "I, I'm going to have a nightmare... ..."
Xiang En, who was supporting her, was also pale, and the hand supporting Andrea was trembling, and his complexion was quite pale.
He might be having nightmares too...
This was the third day after being attacked by the living corpses, and the clouds that lingered in the sky rose a lot, and it seemed a little less oppressive.
The doomsday is like a joke, only a black rain and meteorite appeared that day, everything after that was calm, and the monsters in the forest were not affected much, the current situation can not be called the doomsday.
Even the water in the stream became a little bit clearer, and both began to doubt the reality of Doom.
Today, the two are not going to go hunting, but plan to collect wood, which will be used to expand the basement.
The prey in the wild gradually reduced their activities due to the cooler weather. They have been storing food since autumn, and they are more fully prepared than Xiang En and Andrea.
Moreover, Xiang En didn't plan to store too much food until it was confirmed that the animal's meat was edible, and the food collected in the first two days had to be air-dried.
Either pickled or smoked.
With a good cooking skill, he has long wanted to do a big job, but he has never had the opportunity before, and time does not allow him to cook exquisite dishes leisurely.
Xiang En stayed in the village to handle the food, and Andrea picked up a sharp ax and went to the forest outside the village to cut trees. The two had a clear division of labor and worked hard.
There is a lot of coarse salt in the village, enough for Xiang En to use, but there is no spice, except for the alien pepper that reacts with alcohol. He only found white berries that have a similar effect to garlic.
After the meat was marinated, it was then air-dried. These processes did not require guards, so Xiang En went to the underground alchemy room to move the cabinets, preparing to expand the basement.
The medicine cabinets were taken apart, and it took a lot of effort to remove all the cabinets and move them away.
The empty basement was planned by Xiang En, and he planned to dig a new room on the other side, and he had to be careful not to be crushed by the wooden house above him.
The basements here are all painted smooth and flat with air-dried yellow mud. The top, bottom, left, and right are like lime walls. The materials are probably ant nests and water.
During the busy period, Andrea had already carried several tree trunks back, sweating from exhaustion.
An unpretentious day passed...
In the afternoon, Xiang En brought the sweaty Andrea to the backyard of the village chief's house, and endured the stench and opened the wooden door of the utility room.
The oil lamp illuminated the interior scene. Although she didn't really want to see it, Andrea still took a look.
Little Johnny's head resting on the wooden barrel was drooping, and he only moved slightly when he heard the sound of the wooden door, and he no longer had the strength to scream, because his lungs were not in the original position...
A burst of squeaks came clearly to the ears of the two, and the dying Shushu became alive and kicked against the wooden cage frantically when he saw the two.
Xiang Enxin was cold for a while, and lowered his head to carefully examine the rats in the cage. The appearance of the vole had changed a lot from before.
Much of the hair fell out, revealing blotches like the dark spots on little Johnny's skin.
These characteristic changes were inconspicuous in the dim utility room, but they were obvious when Xiang En took a closer look.
Wound infection……
What's going on!
Wouldn't it be airborne? !
Xiang En stood up, feeling a chill all the way from his back to the top of his head, trembling back and forth, and after a few steps, he was hugged by Andrea who didn't know why.
Andrea turned her head sideways, and stuck her head out from Xiang En's shoulder. Seeing Xiang En's expression at this time, she was stunned, and said a little stammeringly: "Yes, did you find something bad? Your expression……"
The whispering voice in his ear woke Xiang En up. He stretched out his hand to touch his face, only to realize that he had a rich expression. He shook his head in a daze, and waited until he pulled Andrea out of the utility room. Withdrew from that uneasy feeling.
If there is no air transmission, Xiang En would not be too afraid of a simple wound infection. As long as he exchanged the purification technique for the follow-up, it would not be difficult to disinfect the wound.
But he is very clear that when a person smells what he pulled out, what he pulled out has already been sucked into the body.
After smelling the smell of blood, the contents of Little Johnny's blood may already be in the body, and it may be because of the intake that it cannot be highlighted.
The first time he thought of this, Xiang En took off the water bottle on his waist and handed it to Andrea, letting her taste the sweet finger dew.
Gululu!
Andrea didn't ask what the reason was, she just drank all the accumulated dew in one go because she was thirsty, it was sweet and delicious, clearing heat and relieving summer heat, good medicine!
"What did you find?"
After drinking the water, Andrea refocused on Xiang En's absence just now.
Xiang En didn't know how to explain to Andrea so that she could realize the seriousness of the problem without destroying her enthusiasm for survival. After thinking for a long time, she said, "You have also seen the situation of Little Johnny. The field mouse that was bitten by it is now the same as Little Johnny..."
"Um?"
Andrea was used to not using her brain, so she couldn't figure out the seriousness of this problem for now, so she just pretended to listen carefully.
Seeing this, Xiang En sighed slightly.
"If the field mouse is bitten, it will become like that. If we are bitten, will it become the same? Dozens of villagers have run to the forest. If the animals in the forest are bitten, we may be surrounded by crazy animals! "
"ah?"
It was only then that Andrea realized the seriousness of the matter, her eyes widened, she looked so surprised that she lost her mind, and said, "Really, will... will it become like that?"
Just when Xiang En was about to comfort her, she was startled again and her expression returned to normal.
Andrea grabbed Xiang En's hand, looked sincerely, looked at each other affectionately and said: "It's okay, I will always be by your side! Uh..."
After one sentence, Andrea couldn't continue. Xiang En's stunned look made her extremely shy.
When she was in the utility room, she saw Xiang Ennayin's complex negative expression of panic, fear, confusion, and came up with a natural thought.
'Xiang En is also a human being, and he will show such a helpless expression, and he should also hope that someone can understand and comfort him, right? '
Although Andrea doesn't talk much, she has an extremely active mind, thinking about things all the time, and her heart is sensitive.
After facing the test of life and death again and again, her mentality is better than that of Xiang En, but her ability to withstand stress is not as good as that of a modern time traveler who accepts negative information all day long.
Seeing Xiang En, who had always comforted herself with a "strong" attitude, showing such a "weak" expression, Andrea's heart softened, and she couldn't help but want to be a mother again.
Clasping hands is to show determination, and looking at each other is to show sincerity. In summary, "Mom" loves you.
But Xiang En's stunned expression, rather than a moved expression, was not within Andrea's expectations.
