The toad that appeared this time had smaller and denser bumps on its skin, its skin color changed from dark brown to dark green, and its eyes, which were already bulging and round, seemed to be more protruding.
Ye Fu was not sure whether the toad that appeared this time was still edible or had it mutated? She caught one and used the same method as before, cutting off the head, peeling the skin, and removing the poisonous glands. After cooking, the soup had no color.
After the change, the scent became stronger. Ye Fu really wanted to catch a mouse for experiment, but since the heavy rain, all the mice were drowned and he couldn't catch it even if he wanted to.
He tested it with poison test paper and found no problems, but Ye Fu still didn't act rashly.
At this moment, a faint fragrance came from upstairs and downstairs.
The newly emerged toads are edible, and some people have not had any adverse reactions after eating them. As for where the toads came from, no one cares anymore. For the survivors who are struggling for survival, nothing is more important than staying alive, even if it is just
If you can live one more day, live one more day.
The next morning, Ye Fu was woken up by a knock on the door. When she opened the door and saw Qiu Lan, she realized something was wrong with Qiu Lan.
"What happened?"
Qiu Lan shook her head and just took out a potato and exchanged it with Ye Fu for an extra-large plastic bag. Ye Fu looked at her expression and understood immediately.
Qiu Lan's grandfather committed suicide and used his few waking hours to write a farewell letter to Qiu Lan.
Qiu Lan carefully wiped the marks on Grandpa Qiu's neck, dressed him, and put him into a bag.
"He is so thin, I could pick him up so easily."
Qiu Lan carried him to 601, which has become the cemetery in Building D.
Qiu Lan's home became extremely empty. She curled up on the bed holding the letter, and there was no light in her eyes.
"I no longer have any relatives. My grandparents, my parents are all gone. I have no home. I no longer have a home."
She murmured to herself.
Ye Fu helped her add firewood, pulled up a chair and sat beside the bed, staying with her silently.
Ye Fu could feel the same, but she could not comfort him.
In order not to drag down Qiu Lan, Grandpa Qiu finally chose to end his life. The letter he left for Qiu Lan only contained a few sentences.
[To my most beloved granddaughter, Qiu Lan:
This is the letter I left for you when I was most awake. You don’t have to feel pain and sadness for my choice.
It is my last wish not to become a burden to you and to be able to leave with dignity.
Finally, I hope you live well and become a more resilient and brave person.】
"Ye Fu, it's difficult to be alone, right?"
Ye Fu looked at her, Qiu Lan cried silently.
"I am the happiest person in the world. My grandparents, parents, and parents all love me. They work hard, save money and save money all their lives. They want to buy me a house in the city center after I graduate.
, I have been a good student who works the hardest from elementary school to university. I also want to work hard and become the best lawyer. I have never encountered a particularly big setback in my life. I do good deeds, I donate blood and money.
, donated old clothes, and filled out the body donation form, I consider myself a good person."
Qiu Lan covered her chest with a painful expression.
"Why did God still take all my family away?"
"Leave me alone to live, how can I survive? I can't survive.
Qiu Lan went from suppressing her sobs to breaking down and crying. She beat her heart and shed tears in despair.
Twenty-one-year-old Qiu Lan's hair turned half gray on the night she lost her last relative.
Two days later, Qiu Lan regained her composure and walked out of the house.
——
The water outside has flooded the fifth floor, and the residents on the fifth floor are dying and being moved.
It is still unknown when the heavy rain will stop, and everyone begins to become numb. Perhaps, no one believes that they can survive, and death is just a matter of time.
Ye Fu and Qiu Lan began to go out frequently to search for supplies and firewood. In an old hotel, they found many wooden beds and wooden cabinets.
Most of the time, Ye Fu is still alone. She has secrets in her body and is more suitable for walking alone. Regarding space, Ye Fu will never tell anyone.
The assault boat was parked under a private hospital. Ye Fu didn't know if the equipment and medicines inside were still there. Without hesitation, she climbed in through the window and prepared to search.
As soon as he came in, Ye Fu found many footprints and traces of rummaging. The tables, chairs and stools were all staggered. Ye Fu put everything clean into the space, including the bed and cabinets in the ward.
This is a large private hospital. Compared with the average public hospital, this place is simply magnificent. The huge chandelier hanging from the top floor reflects Ye Fu's figure. This place is not like a hospital, but more like a hotel.
The corridor is full of toads, densely packed, exactly like when poisonous moths appeared.
Ye Fu came to the operating room, looked at the half-new equipment inside, cleaned up the toad lying on it, and put it away directly.
In one room, there were several frozen corpses.
Two hours later, Ye Fu was about to leave. Just as he was about to jump off the window sill, he saw three people rushing toward her in an assault boat.
After the cold wave, there were very few people going out to look for supplies. Ye Fu looked around and saw no one, so he put the assault boat on the water. Unexpectedly, it was almost stolen.
"Fuck, there's someone."
"Is this Zodiac yours?"
The voice of the speaker was very young, around twenty years old. Ye Fu jumped onto the assault boat and had no intention of paying attention to these people.
"Hey, are you mute or deaf? We are talking to you. What's going on up there? Is there nothing? Why did you come down empty-handed?"
They were three young men. There were two large packages on the assault boat. They had long knives beside them. One of them pointed the knife at Ye Fu, apparently not intending to let her leave.
"You will know after you go up and take a look."
"Ah, female? Are you a female?"
The young man who pointed the knife at Ye Fu was very excited, as if he had never seen a woman before.
"Oh my God, it's amazing. A man came out to look for supplies. Let me tell you, several groups of people were swept away by the flood just now. Aren't you afraid?"
Ye Fu was not interested in chatting with them, but these three people were obviously very interested in her.
"We are students from Lancheng University. Your voice sounds very young. Are you still a student? We have set up a temporary base. Do you want to come with us? You have an assault boat and we can make an exception and open the back door for you."
Ye Fu...
"No."
Ye Fu picked up the crossbow from his feet and pointed it at several people.
"Get out of the way, don't block the way."
"Here, you actually have a crossbow. It's awesome. How's the range? Is this set expensive? Do you have any extra ones? Can you sell me one?"
"..." Ye Fu suspected for a moment that he was suffering from a mental disorder.
