For Ye Fu, knitting sweaters not only made him more frustrated and courageous, he also gradually enjoyed it. Ye Fu's temperament is a bit stubborn. If he does anything, he will either give it up or not do it. If he wants to do it, he must do his best.
, there shouldn’t be any flaws.
But this time, Ye Fu planned to crochet a scarf. After all, scarves are much simpler than sweaters.
After the first failure, it seems that practice makes perfect the second time. After stroking the red wool, it was wound into a ball. Ye Fu planned to leave a few tassels. It was easy for her to devote herself to her work. Once she found the skills, she
Some sleepless nights, from morning to night, a scarf that was not perfect was finished, and Ye Fu put it away with satisfaction.
Before going to bed at night, Ye Fu set a small goal for himself: to learn to knit socks tomorrow.
In the middle of the night, Ye Fu heard a cry of a child. She opened her eyes, was dazed 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 me. It was louder and quieter, and it sounded like a girl's voice.
Ye Fu took the binoculars and looked outside. There was a black snake hanging on the railing outside the window. Several iron tie rods had been broken by the snakes that climbed up to stalk her, and the remaining two were tightly wrapped around the black snake's tail.
.
Ye Fu ignored the black snake and listened carefully to the cry, trying to confirm the correct location where the sound came from. At this time, a strong wind roared past, and the snake was blown almost to the ground. Of course, Ye Fu would not believe in any ghosts and gods.
But at this moment, she felt a little scared.
Think about it, how many people are alive in this building alone? Maybe 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 could not count them upstairs and downstairs.
The familiar, the unfamiliar, the friendly, the annoying, all died in this building.
No movement could be seen in the telescope, and the crying was intermittent. Ye Fu had a very bad feeling in her heart. She knew very well that humans without the constraints of laws and civilization were actually no different from other species, perhaps more so than other species.
Terrible and cruel.
Just like the habit of big snakes eating small snakes, so do humans. In unknown corners, similar cannibalism may have begun, and women and children are at the bottom of the food chain.
"Two-legged sheep" is synonymous with them.
The cries were even more sad and desperate in the silent night. Ye Fu looked at the dark night sky, and his heart was covered with a thick layer of black gauze.
Gradually, the crying stopped, and the sound of the wind outside stopped. Ye Fu returned to the bed and lay down, looking at the bedside table lamp absentmindedly.
——
The next day, Ye Fu, as usual, learned to knit socks, read books, write diaries, exercise, and occasionally practice his hand speed and brain with a Rubik's Cube. His life was boring day after day, and the temperature outside had already risen to 40 degrees.
Already.
The water level dropped to the fourth floor, and more skeletons were revealed, as well as cars, kayaks, and kayaks that had been carried down by the flood from the upper basin.
Although snakes are heat-resistant animals, at 40 degrees, it has reached its critical point.
Ye Fu spent the next few days observing the situation outside, until on the fifth day, when the temperature reached 42 degrees, a large number of snakes began to die.
The snake upstairs fell down after it died and hit the railing outside the window. The two remaining railings were overwhelmed and completely broke.
Snakes decompose very quickly, taking only three to five hours under normal circumstances, and even faster in hot weather.
The stench outside the window was so strong that it felt like being in a septic tank. Ye Fu had to wear a mask when he was in the house to avoid inhaling the stench.
Ye Fu scratched the palm of his hand. She scratched a small blister. The broken skin was itchy and painful. Ye Fu scratched it again. The skin of the palm began to wrinkle and then peel. Ye Fu frowned and removed the skin.
She tore it off, but more and more she tore it off, until the entire surface of her palm was torn apart.
Ye Fu glanced out the window, held back his nausea and walked slowly over. On the railing of the building opposite, there was still a snake's shed skin hanging on it. Ye Fu looked at his palm and felt his scalp numb instantly.
She quickly found a stick of ointment from the space, squeezed out a large amount and applied it on the palms and backs of her hands. Ye Fu comforted herself that peeling hands was a normal allergy phenomenon, or it was ringworm caused by fungal infection. It was no big deal.
Yes, it can be cured with ointment.
But looking at the snake skins fluttering in the wind outside the window, cold sweat broke out on her back.
It was the first time that Ye Fu knew that "itching" was such a painful thing. She wanted to scratch the broken skin on her hands, and it would make her feel better. But common sense told her that she couldn't scratch or scratch, otherwise it would be worse. Ye Fu
Unable to bear the support, she even wanted to chop off her entire hand. The itch in her palm spread to every nerve in her body. She gritted her teeth and wrapped her right hand.
The ointment was applied on the itchy palms, and there was a burning pain in the palms. In order to prevent reinfection, Ye Fu took the disinfectant and sprayed every corner of the house.
After using three tubes of ointment and enduring it for five days, Ye Fu's right hand finally recovered. Apart from some redness and swelling, there was no skin rash or itching on his right hand. The temperature outside had also risen to forty-five degrees.
Splash it on the glass, and with a "squeak" sound, the water droplets will evaporate immediately.
Putting on sun protection clothing, a mask and protective glasses, Ye Fu opened the window, and a wave of heat hit his face, making Ye Fu a little dizzy.
The snakes were almost dead. Occasionally, you could see a few big snakes squirming in the sea of corpses. They tried to climb up the wall, but as soon as they touched the hot wall, they fell down instantly. The pungent rotten smell penetrated through the mask.
Ye Fu's nose and brain immediately felt like he was suffocating.
Ye Fu took out two masks to reinforce them. After she could no longer smell any smell, she took out her binoculars and began to observe the entire community.
Except for silence, there was no sound at all.
At this moment, she heard a "hissing" sound coming from the flood below. Ye Fu looked out and his pupils shrank in fear.
A giant black python emerged from the group of snake corpses, with its wide and flat snake head raised high. It opened its bloody mouth and swallowed several snake corpses in the water. Ye Fu didn't know that its body had
How long? Looking at the body as thick as a basin, it can be roughly estimated that the length should be no less than seven or eight meters. Ye Fu closed the window as quickly as possible, took out the crossbow from the space, smeared poison on the arrow, and held down
With his heart beating wildly, Ye Fu closed his eyes and leaned against the wall to exhale slowly.
The giant python is huge and although it is not poisonous, 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 had begged God for forgiveness and blessing on the eleventh floor. If possible, she wanted to kneel down and beg the giant python to leave as soon as possible.
.
In the face of absolute power, Ye Fu felt infinite frustration and powerlessness.
