When Qin Shuhua returned home, she saw her husband lying on the sofa with a tablet in his hand. This made her a little surprised: "You won't work overtime tonight?"
The husband shook his head: "No. I'm so hungry. Since you're back, let's cook quickly. Cook more, and add more meat, more. I just ate something at the company, but it doesn't stop me from being hungry."
.”
Qin Shuhua agreed and took the meat from the refrigerator. Her husband ordered on the sofa to take the big piece and then take another piece.
After a lot of work in the kitchen, she took out the stewed pork with pepper and tomato in a large square pot with a light-colored metal plate embedded in it, along with a basket of flat dough balls and a small bowl to hold the dough balls.
The two of them sat down to eat opposite each other. The husband frowned slightly after taking a bite and said that too many seasonings were added and the taste was a bit strong. At the same time, the cooking time was too long, which made the meat a bit old.
As he said this, he moved his chopsticks very quickly and finished one bowl in an instant. He took the large spoon from the food bowl and filled himself with another bowl.
He also ate this bowl very quickly. After he finished eating, he went to serve it again. When he had three and a half bowls, all the pepper and tomato braised meat was gone.
The husband was still holding the bowl and said, "Didn't I say you should do more?"
Qin Shuhua stared at him, looking very strange: "What did you do today to be so hungry?"
The husband scratched his head and thought for a while: "I didn't do much, just helped Xiao Wang move his office?" He looked at the refrigerator: "Are there any dishes left? Can you make some more?"
Qin Shuhua frowned and said, "Farewell? It's late at night."
The husband rubbed his belly and said, "It's just a meal. It's like she hasn't eaten." Seeing his wife's impatient expression, he smiled and said hurriedly, "That's okay, it's really not too delicious at night."
He put away the tableware and went to wash it. Afterwards, he used a tablet computer to project the picture on the wall. The couple watched a documentary about pomelo cultivation for a while. When it was time to go to bed, the husband started to say he was hungry again. He walked over and opened the refrigerator and said no more
What to eat at night because I'm afraid I'll be too hungry to sleep.
Then he started to take pieces of meat from the cold layer.
Qin Shuhua was too lazy to wait on him anymore, so she told him to make whatever he wanted to eat and went straight to take a shower.
When she came out wrapped in a bath towel, she felt it was strangely quiet outside. Her husband was not in the dining room, and there was no sound at all in the kitchen.
An ominous premonition arose in Qin Shuhua's heart.
She walked over quietly, took a look at the door, and immediately shouted in shock: "What are you doing Qi Jiang?"
Qi Jiang is eating raw meat.
He even skipped cutting it into small pieces and just held a large square of shank meat there and gnawed it.
Qin Shuhua immediately slammed the door: "Qi Jiang? Qi Jiang?"
Qi Jiang is coughing.
He coughed a few times, and his shadow was reflected on the frosted glass of the door and approached the door. Qin Shuhua hid in the direction of the entrance, ready to escape through the door at any time: "What's the matter with you?"
Qi Jiang's voice was also a little frightened: "I...hey, this raw meat has a umami taste, a particularly appealing umami taste. I suddenly began to wonder what the life of ancient humans was like, eating hair and drinking blood... So I tried it.
try."
He turned the doorknob. Qin Shuhua screamed: "Don't move!"
Qi Jiang stopped turning the handle.
Qin Shuhua asked: "Are you okay, Qi Jiang? Take a look and see if there are any changes in yourself? You are not... changing... you are not..."
Her voice was trembling and tears were already streaming down her face.
Qi Jiang's voice: "No. I'm fine, Ah Hua. Apart from the urge to eat raw meat, there's nothing unusual about it. Sorry for scaring you."
Qin Shuhua said: "Don't come out."
Qi Jiang said in a soft voice: "Okay, I will stay here for the time being."
Qin Shuhua took the clothes from the rack, put them on, and went to the corner table in the living room to get her mobile phone.
At this time, she heard Qi Jiang take a big breath of fear.
Qin Shuhua asked quickly: "What's wrong with you?"
Qi Jiangdao: "There is something wrong. I feel that the skin on my body is tightening, as if I am wearing a smaller size of clothes...ah!"
The small corner cabinet was separated from the kitchen by more than ten steps. Qin Shuhua clearly heard the clicking sounds of joints coming from there.
She shouted heartbreakingly: "Qi Jiang!"
Qi Jiang made his voice as calm as possible: "Ahua, please go quickly. Leave this house and contact the Chinese Association Hospital. I will upload the warning myself while my consciousness is still clear."
Qin Shuhua choked up and nodded. Then she thought that Qi Jiang couldn't see her nod, so she responded, grabbed her phone and ran out.
She locked the door firmly.
Through the outer door, the sounds inside can no longer be heard.
Professor Zhou on the podium was telling about his experience of following an expedition team to the uninhabited area of Hangcheng to conduct post-disaster species survey and urban habitat analysis. He struggled to survive under the siege of mutated creatures, and the process was ups and downs. Yan Luyi listened with interest,
I thought this professor was interesting, so I might as well take the post-disaster management course as an elective.
Then the terminal on her wrist began to vibrate.
Yan Luyi had not yet developed any conditioned reflexes. His first thought was that this was a communication from someone, and then he realized that the vibration frequency of the terminal was very different from ordinary communication notifications.
She quickly lit up the screen.
Mutation warning - C4 - 03, 12th floor, Building 17, Qingtian Villa, Longhu District. Click here for details.
C4 is the rating, and it seems that the threat level is not too high. The next line is the location. She has no idea where the place is, but it feels like it should be similar to Qingtian Square.
She clicked on the details. The communication terminal projected a small picture in the air. The background was a residential house, with a man rolling on the bed, his expression distorted, enduring extreme pain, and the skin on the left half of his body was as thick as paint.
white.
The communication included voice messages. Yan Luyi hesitated for a moment whether to click on it or not, but the communication terminal vibrated again.
This time it was Yan Yue who sent the message as captain: "Gather in area F of the garage at the bottom of the gym."
Yan Lu stood up with a sigh.
The professor on the podium thought she had a problem last week: "This classmate?"
Yan Luyi was already running out, turned around and shouted: "I'm sorry."
She remembered what she had forgotten and hurriedly took out the armband from her pocket and put it on. Professor Zhou understood immediately and raised his chin towards the door, indicating that she could go out, and continued his lecture with a calm expression.
Yan Luyi ran towards the entrance of the underground garage of the fitness center.
On the way, she clicked on the voice message attached to the warning.
It was the panicked and incoherent voice of a man: "My body is changing... I'm still awake at the moment. I'm still awake. Protect my wife, be sure to protect my wife, and let her go away quickly..."
Yu Nian sounded again in the middle, urging: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, everyone, hurry up. Those grandsons took our equipment, and the captain said that they are probably going to take the credit. If they do anything random, it will be easy to harm them.
