The temperature continues to rise, and the corpses in the water are decomposing faster. You can smell the pungent putrid smell even standing on the balcony. There are many fewer people going out. Not only can they not find supplies, but more importantly, they are afraid of the outside.
of robbers.
Ye Fu hadn't gone out for half a month. She placed the photovoltaic panel on the balcony and charged the battery. In her spare time, she took out the toad venom she had saved before and mixed it into the medicine she prepared in case of emergency.
The temperature rose back to fifteen degrees, and the air began to get muggy.
The next morning, there was a knock on Ye Fu's door. Qiu Lan stood outside the door, holding an oval egg in her hand, and handed it to Ye Fu like a treasure.
"Ye Fu, look at this. I picked it up in the corridor. There is also some in the water. This is for you. It's edible. Du Na accidentally broke one just now. She ate it raw because she was afraid of wasting it. She said it tasted similar to eggs.
, it’s just a bit fishy.”
Ye Fu glanced at her and took the egg. The skin of the egg was very thin and a little cold. When he looked at it under the sun, he didn't see anything inside. After shaking it for a while, he could feel the egg liquid flickering inside.
.
"is it a lot?"
Qiu Lan nodded, "There are a lot of them in the water, I haven't told anyone else yet, Ye Fu, let's go pick them up quickly."
Ye Fu's brows wrinkled slightly. There must be a monster when things go wrong. So many eggs suddenly appeared. This is not normal.
"You go ahead, I'll be back later."
Qiu Lan rushed downstairs excitedly. Ye Fu closed the door and returned to the house. He took out an egg from the space, placed it next to the oval egg, and began to observe it carefully.
This is definitely not an egg, but more like a crocodile egg, a turtle egg or a snake egg.
Walking to the balcony, Ye Fu took out his telescope and looked at the water surface downstairs. As Qiu Lan said, there were many white eggs floating in the water. They seemed not to sink into the water and just floated on the surface.
An hour later, other people in the building also discovered the eggs in the water. Everyone excitedly went downstairs to salvage them. Someone just picked up the eggs and smashed them into pieces and poured them into his mouth.
Ye Fu broke the egg into pieces, and when she saw the thick yellow egg white inside, her pupils shrank suddenly. She immediately ran to the balcony, but when she saw the people in the community excitedly fishing in the water, she suppressed all the words she wanted to say.
go back.
This is a snake egg. Snake eggs do not have clear yolk and egg white like eggs. They have a turbid yellow egg white. If it is a fertilized snake egg, you can still see the embryonic lines under the light.
Ye Fu is very afraid of snakes, very, very afraid.
When I see the photos, I get goosebumps, my hair stands on end, and I feel uncomfortable all over.
There are so many eggs in the community, which is the same as cockroaches. When you see one cockroach, there may be tens of thousands of cockroaches in the corner.
Ye Fu had a crazy idea. As the temperature rose, hibernating snakes came out one after another. There were huge numbers of them, leaving snake eggs in every corner of the city. If snake eggs
Ye Fu poured the snake eggs into the trash can, then took out a flashlight and carefully inspected every corner of the house. If the snake eggs hatched, the consequences would be disastrous.
Officer Song and his family upstairs also went to pick up snake eggs. When they saw two buckets full of salvaged eggs, goosebumps appeared on Ye Fu's arms. The images in his mind were filled with dense snakes.
In the middle of the night, Ye Fu quietly went out and sprinkled some snake repellent powder he prepared on the corridor.
On the damp and dark floor, densely packed snakes were intertwined, spitting out messages and making "hissing" sounds.
The corpse floating in the water was rolled up by the snake's tail. The snakes surged their bodies and quickly climbed onto the corpse, biting and gnawing crazily.
Under the turbid flood water, the giant python curled up to recuperate. Feeling the change in temperature, it opened its scarlet eyes.
Ye Fu had a nightmare, dreaming that many snakes came into the house. They got into the quilt and entangled her ankles, knees, waist, neck, and head. She didn't even have the ability to resist. A snake wrapped around her
On her neck, a foul-smelling bloody mouth opened, revealing sharp teeth. The saliva dripped down, and the viscous liquid exuded a pungent smell. The snake's head slowly approached and pounced towards her eyes.
"ah……"
Ye Fu gasped for air. She turned on the emergency lights and looked at the bedroom warily. She saw the intact bedroom door and collapsed on the bed as if she had been reborn.
The survivors who picked up the snake eggs were very enthusiastic. Ye Fu took one look and closed the curtains. There was still the smell of scrambled eggs in the air. With food in his belly, the neighbors in the building walked briskly when they went up and down the stairs.
.
The water level outside the eighth floor has dropped a bit, but the Wu Wanfa family who moved to 1201 cannot move back yet. The most diligent people in the building are him and Officer Song. They each carried a bucket of snake eggs upstairs. When they passed by the tenth floor
, Ye Fu opened his mouth and called Officer Song to stop.
"These eggs may be snake eggs. After you pick them up, you'd better cook them quickly. The temperature will get higher and higher. If they are fertilized eggs, they will break their shells soon."
Officer Song's expression changed. He had also speculated whether these eggs might be snake eggs, but Wu Wanfa said that snake eggs were not that big. These eggs should be crocodile eggs or eggs of other animals.
"No wonder you didn't pick it up."
Ye Fu smiled and said, "Snake eggs are not poisonous, but once they hatch into snakes, they will be very troublesome. Moreover, snakes are very vengeful animals. Once the temperature reaches 20 degrees, I suggest that everyone not go out for the time being. It is best to keep your home safe."
All the gaps are plugged up.”
Officer Song always believed Ye Fu's words. After solemnly thanking him, he immediately went home and told everyone about the matter.
In the next few days, Ye Fu found that there were far fewer people picking up eggs. Officer Song was not a selfish person. He would tell others what he knew. The news spread from one to two and then to four, and people in the community began to be afraid.
stand up.
Qiu Lan came once and confirmed the information about the snake eggs with Ye Fu.
It's just that drinking water is very precious now, so everyone can only bake snake eggs.
At the end of June, the temperature reaches 25 degrees, the daytime lasts for eighteen hours, and the night shortens to six hours.
Cui Li didn't show up for half a month. Although Ye Fu found it strange, she didn't want to meddle in her own business. In the next few days, some strange mucus appeared in the corridor.
In the middle of the night, Ye Fu heard the sound of something moving. She lost all sleep and immediately held her breath and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
After a long time, she confirmed that the sound came from outside the window. Ye Fu turned on the flashlight and opened the curtains with a saber.
When he saw the snake lying on the glass, Ye Fu's mind went blank for a moment and his body became stiff.
This is a red-spotted snake, commonly known as a water snake, which is slightly poisonous and edible.
This water snake is almost one meter long, with a thick body, black spots on its body, and stripes on its back.
Ye Fu stared at it. It hit the glass with its head, making a "bang bang bang" sound. Its tail was hooked on the iron railing outside the glass, and the scales made a slight sound when they rubbed against the iron railing.
