Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 42 042 High temperature, snake disease 6
For Ye Fu, knitting sweaters not only became more and more frustrating and courageous, but also gradually enjoyed it. Ye Fu has a bit of a stubborn temper. Whatever he does, he must do his best if he does it. , never give up halfway.

But this time, Ye Fu planned to crochet a scarf, after all, a scarf is much simpler than a sweater.

After the first failure, it seems that practice makes perfect the second time. The red wool is smoothed out and then wound into a ball. Ye Fu intends to leave a little fringe. She can easily devote herself to doing things. Some have forgotten to eat and sleep, from morning to night, a not-so-perfect scarf was finished, and Ye Fu put it away contentedly.

Before going to bed at night, Ye Fu set a small goal for himself, to learn how to knit socks tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, Ye Fu heard a cry of a child. She opened her eyes, stared blankly for a while, turned on the desk lamp in the room, and walked to the window with a telescope and a flashlight.

The crying came from the building next to it. It was louder and softer for a while, and it sounded like a girl's voice.

Ye Fu took the binoculars and looked out, there was a black snake hanging on the railing outside the window, several of the iron rods had been entangled and broken by the snake that climbed up to watch her, and the remaining two were tightly entwined by the black snake's tail .

Ye Fu ignored the black snake, and listened carefully to the crying sound, trying to confirm the correct location where the sound came from. At this moment, a gust of wind whizzed by, and the snake was blown almost to the ground. Of course, Ye Fu would not believe any ghosts and gods. It's just that at this moment, her heart is also a little panicked.

Think about it, just this building, how many people are alive?Perhaps, she is the only one left.

Corpses were burned on the roof, and there were more than a dozen corpses on the sixth floor. Ye Fu couldn't count the number of corpses upstairs and downstairs.

Familiar and unfamiliar, friendly and annoying, all died in this building.

No movement could be seen in the binoculars, and the crying was intermittent. Ye Fu had a very bad feeling in her heart. She knew very well that human beings without laws and civilization constraints are actually no different from other species. Perhaps, they are more important than other species. Horrible and cruel.

Just as a big snake eats a small snake, so do people.In an unknown corner, cannibalism may have begun, and women and children are at the bottom of the food chain.

"Two-legged sheep" is their pronoun.

The cries became more shrill and desperate in the silent night, Ye Fu looked at the dark night sky, and a thick layer of black veil was cast over his heart.

Gradually, the crying stopped, and the sound of the wind outside also stopped. Ye Fu returned to the bed and lay down, staring absently at the lamp beside the bed.

-

The next day, Ye Fu was as usual, learning to knit socks, reading books, writing a diary, exercising, and occasionally practicing hand speed and brain with a Rubik's Cube. The boring life was day after day, and the temperature outside had risen to [-] degrees. up.

The water level dropped to the fourth floor, and more skeletons were revealed, as well as cars, kayaks, and assault boats that were carried down by the flood from the upper basin.

Although snakes are heat-resistant animals, forty degrees Celsius has already reached its critical point.

For the next few days, Ye Fu observed the situation outside until the fifth day, when the temperature reached forty-two degrees, a large number of snakes began to die.

After the snake upstairs died, it fell and hit the railing outside the window directly. The remaining two railings were overwhelmed and broke completely.

Snakes decompose very quickly, taking only three to five hours under normal conditions, and faster in hot weather.

The stench outside the window was like being in a septic tank. Ye Fu had to wear a mask in the house to avoid inhaling the stench.

Ye Fu scratched the palm of her hand, a small blister was scratched by her, the broken skin was itchy and painful, Ye Fu scratched again, the skin on the palm began to wrinkle, and then peeled off, Ye Fu frowned and rubbed the skin She tore it off, but the more she tore it off, the skin of the entire palm was torn unsightly by her.

Ye Fu glanced out of the window, held back his nausea and walked slowly over. On the railing of the opposite building, there were still snakes' sloughed skins. Ye Fu looked at his palm, and his scalp felt numb in an instant.

She hurriedly found an ointment from the space, squeezed out a big lump and applied it all on the palm and back of the hand, Ye Fu comforted herself, hand peeling is a normal allergic phenomenon, or ringworm caused by fungal infection, it's not a big deal Yes, it can be cured with ointment.

But looking at the snakeskins fluttering in the wind outside the window, cold sweat broke out on her back.

For the first time, Ye Fu knew that "itching" was such a painful thing. She wanted to scratch the broken skin on her hand, and it would be much more comfortable. But common sense told her that she should not scratch or scratch, otherwise it would be worse. Fu couldn't take it anymore, she even wanted to chop off her whole hand, the itching in her palm spread to every nerve in her body, she gritted her teeth, and wrapped her right hand up.

The ointment was applied to the itchy palm, and there were bursts of burning pain in the palm. In order to prevent re-infection, Ye Fu took the disinfectant and sprayed every corner of the house.

After using three ointments and enduring it for five days, Ye Fu's right hand finally healed. Apart from some redness and swelling, the right hand was no longer scratched or itchy, and the temperature outside had risen to forty-five degrees. When it was splashed on the glass, there was a sound of "呲啦", and the water droplets evaporated immediately.

Putting on sun protection clothing, a mask and protective glasses, Ye Fu opened the window, a wave of heat hit her face, and the huge impact made her a little dizzy.

The snake group was almost dead, and occasionally a few big snakes could be seen wriggling in the sea of ​​corpses. They tried to climb up the wall, but they fell down instantly as soon as they touched the hot wall, and the pungent rot smell penetrated through the mask Entering Ye Fu's nasal cavity, the brain immediately felt a sense of suffocation.

Ye Fu took out two masks to reinforce them, and after she could no longer smell anything, she took out the binoculars and began to observe the whole community.

Apart from being quiet, it was still quiet, there was no slight sound at all.

At this moment, she heard the sound of "hissing" coming from the flood below, Ye Fu looked out, his pupils constricted in fright.

A giant black python emerged from the group of snake corpses, with its wide and flat snake head raised high, it opened its mouth wide and swallowed several snake corpses in the water in one gulp, Ye Fu didn't know that there was something wrong with its body. How long is it? Looking at the thick body like a basin, it is roughly estimated that the length should not be less than seven or eight meters. Ye Fu closed the window as quickly as possible, took out the bow and crossbow from the space, smeared poison on the arrow, and pressed With a heart beating wildly, Ye Fu leaned against the wall with his eyes closed and exhaled slowly.

The boa constrictor is huge, and although it is non-toxic, humans are by no means its opponents.

Ye Fu's hand holding the crossbow tightened until her fingertips turned white. She suddenly thought of those people who were on the eleventh floor begging God for forgiveness and blessing. If she could, she also wanted to kneel down and beg the giant python to leave quickly. .

In the face of absolute power, Ye Fu felt infinite frustration and powerlessness.

　happy weekend
