Global Evolution
Chapter 8: bacterial
The sound of Liu Chang sounded familiar, and it seemed to be someone he knew.
"Don't do it, we're not malicious." After taking the first two steps, Liu Chang didn't see the other person's face until he reached the attack range of the other party.
"Mr. Li, it really is you." It is indeed a familiar face in front of me, to be precise, the face I just saw this morning-Liu Chang's biology teacher, Li Qingshui.
"Are you ... Liu Chang?" Seeing Liu Chang's face, Teacher Li also relaxed his vigilance, and he held the iron rod aside.
"And me, Liu Tao." Liu Tao also took two steps to let Mr. Li see his face clearly.
"You two are here?" Li Qingshui gave way and said, "Go in and talk."
"Um." Liu Chang nodded and walked to the equally dark room.
The squatter room is darker than the outside. Because there is no sunlight and red mist, and the wires are also damaged by the vines outside, it is even more difficult to see your fingers here.
But after getting used to the darkness for a moment, the eyes are close, and people can still see each other's outline clearly.
So, after a few seconds of darkness, Liu Chang saw a familiar face in the room—all from their school.
There are eight or nine students and a dozen parents, a total of more than twenty people. It should be a small group formed by the school after the end of the world, and then found this place together. The founder of this small group should be the biology teacher.
It seemed to me that more than a few thought of finding a convenience store.
After I entered the room, Liu Chang saw a few more familiar faces among the familiar faces in the room—fat and glasses.
"Liu Chang, Liu Tao?" The fat man stood out from the crowd. "How did you find this?"
"Just hit." Liu Chang smiled: "It is really good luck, the teacher should go out to investigate the situation, we were hit by unexpected."
"You are all right." The glasses also came over from their parents, with some guilt in their eyes.
"It's okay, there is no danger on the road." When Liu Chang said this, he subconsciously tightened the gun hidden in his arms.
那就 "That's good." The glasses nodded. "This place is safe for the time being."
"In the present world, there is no safe place." Teacher Li came over and said, "The biological mutation speed is too fast now. This speed is even faster than the Cambrian period described in the book. Evolving at this rate, then in less than three days, all the surrounding creatures will evolve into predators. It is a strange red mist. Is this red mist the Cambrian 'free oxygen'? No wonder for almost two years The college entrance examination biology class was forced to raise so many scores. Did they know that already ... "
老师 Miss Li's words are getting weaker and quieter. Only Liu Chang, who was beside him, heard the last word.
"What then?" Shouted the fat mother. What Mr. Li said caused a commotion in the house.
"I don't know what to do, just watch it change and try to live."
Teacher Li sighed and sat on the floor beside the shelf.
Liu Chang and Liu Tao, after speaking a few words to the fat glasses, also sat up on the floor.
Time passed quickly, and a moment later, the night came on schedule.
The world has become truly dark.
The dark red fog can block more than 70% of the light even when the sun is shining. The soft moonlight and starlight are completely blocked from people's sight. In a room without any light, people understand what it means to be "five fingers placed in front of them, and completely invisible."
However, in the face of this situation, Mr. Li had already prepared, took out a lighter, and by the light of the fire, he lit the two candles placed before.
"Candles need to be saved, and the light is too strong and will become the target of other creatures." The candlelight drove away some of the darkness and brought a moment of light to the quiet room.
I was sitting under the candlelight, and Liu Chang looked at the candlelight stained red, feeling his head dizzy, and the wound on his ankle gave it a strange feeling of itching.
I found an unoccupied corner, and Liu Chang took off his shoes. By the dim light, he had just loosened the bandage around his feet, and a rotten smell came from him.
"Oh!" Liu Chang was almost suffocated by the smell of himself. Holding back the nasal cavity to adapt to the smell, what he saw was a scarier wound than the smell.
The wounds were all ulcerated, and the flesh became red, white, and yellow, which was simply unsightly.
"The wound is infected!" Teacher Li's voice came from behind Liu Chang. He stepped forward and pressed Liu Chang's feet to press the area around his wound.
"Does it hurt?"
"No pain, itchy!"
"Infected." Teacher Li held her glasses up and stared at the festering wound carefully. "Do you have any medicine?"
"Yes." Liu Chang took out his schoolbag, which contained some commonly used pills.
"Are there any antibiotics?" Teacher Li looked at the medicines in Liu Chang's bag.
"No."
"Then take some anti-inflammatory drugs, eat more!" Glancing at the scary wound again, Teacher Li frowned: "This wound looks too scary, and it's completely different from ordinary ulcers! It ’s not just large creatures that have evolved and mutated in this world. These bacteria have also changed! ”
"Uh ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Liu Chang took out the medicine and saw that the anti-inflammatory medicine was written one tablet at a time, then poured out one more tablet and took twice the dose.
"Eat more, it may not be useful." Teacher Li still frowned deeply.
"Oh." After listening to his words, Liu Chang poured out two more pills and swallowed them with the mineral water in the convenience store.
"Who has alcohol or iodine?" Seeing Liu Chang taking the medicine, Teacher Li shouted loudly to the dim crowd.
No response.
There was no sound in the squatter room.
"It's not that serious, it's just a wound infection. I often get pus infections as a child."
"When you were a kid, you often encountered mice and dogs. Can this be the same? You know, about simple creatures are prone to large mutations. Even in normal times, bacterial mutations are very common, let alone now Is that the case? "
"Is it serious?" After listening to Li Qingshui, Liu Chang sank in his heart. If even the most docile animals have become cruel, the usually fierce pathogenic bacteria may really be even more terrifying.
"I don't know, look at it." Li Qingshui sighed, stopped talking, and the room became quiet again.
He put his feet on the bench of the convenience store, and Liu Chang didn't dare to wrap the festering wound again. Probably because the smell on his body was really bad, no one around him came, even Li Qingshui who had just come in came in and didn't know what to do.
Time flies, just in the weird silence, slowly passing by.
畅 And Liu Chang just leaned on the foot of the wall, tilted his legs, feeling more and more dizzy, and his body began to feel colder.
He felt like he had a fever.
