Xiao Jiu asked him with dissatisfaction, "If it weren't for my older brother, I would have eaten this zombie that was chasing me!"
"roar!"
The zombie roared back defiantly, throwing the bamboo in front of it at the same time: "Roar!!"
Even though he couldn't understand zombie language, Xiao Jiu still felt that he was shouting two words: "Pay me back!"
Yu An is still asleep; otherwise, he could have helped to mediate the conflict.
Without his elder brother's mediation, Xiao Jiu, after enduring it for a long time, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Roar!"
It's just yelling, isn't it?
He can do it too!
The zombie that was yelled at: "..."
The zombie was a little confused by the shout. He looked at the bamboo on the ground, then looked up at Xiao Jiu who had shouted at him.
A few seconds later.
He tried to squat down, as if he wanted to pick up the bamboo.
Qi Zai, sitting next to Yu An, couldn't stand it any longer.
He picked up the bamboo first, and then his fingertips touched the base of the bamboo.
The bamboo, which had been wilting, gradually perked up, as if it had suddenly come to life.
Zombie: "!"
Zombie: "Roar!"
Seven Boys handed the bamboo back to the other person: "Take this back and plant it. This time it should survive."
The zombie took the bamboo and turned to leave.
He took a few steps, then turned back. After glancing hesitantly at Xiao Jiu, his gaze fell on Qi Zai.
"roar!"
He tugged at Qi Zai, then took two steps forward himself.
Seven-year-old looked for a while before he understood: "You, you want to invite me to come with you?"
Zombie: "Roar!"
Walk!
Seven scratched his head, about to refuse, when Six spoke up.
"Go with him, and pick some bamboo while you're at it. Let's take the bamboo with us and leave here a little later."
The zombies inexplicably blocked their way here. If they don't leave in time, who knows what other trouble might follow.
Six sent Seven to follow the zombies to harvest bamboo.
Meanwhile, Yu An on the bed was getting increasingly hot.
Chapter 135
Eight-Eight was the first to notice that its elder brother's body was starting to get hot, and its little tentacles stayed close to its elder brother.
Their aquatic products are quite sensitive to temperature.
So when Yu An first developed a fever, his little tentacle twitched.
"Sixth Brother! Big Brother's body is getting so hot!"
Eight-Zai exclaimed and called to Six-Zai, who reported, "It wasn't this hot just now."
Liu Zai frowned. He was often accompanied by a quack doctor, so he had some knowledge of medical treatment.
A person may develop a fever after being injured.
Tan Zhan has already gone out to get the medicine box; they can only wait for it now.
"Go get a wet towel and a basin of water."
After Liu Zai finished giving his instructions, before Ba Zai had even gone downstairs, Qiu Qiu had already picked up the basin and run back to the small bathroom.
He filled a basin with water and then wet a clean towel.
"Should we use physical methods to cool down Big Brother?" Chiu Chiu asked Six-Zai, holding a towel.
Liu Zai nodded.
Jiujiu took over the task, sat down next to Yu An, and placed a wet towel on her older brother's forehead.
It didn't take long for the wet towel to turn into a hot towel after being applied.
Chuchu took off the hot towel, rubbed it with cold water, and continued to apply it.
The towel heats up very quickly, and Qiuqiu patiently repeats this step over and over again.
"etc."
Sixth Brother suddenly sensed something was wrong; his older brother's fever didn't seem to be caused by the injury. A normal fever wouldn't be this high.
"Chirp chirp, stop for a moment."
They stopped applying cold towels to Yu An and instead observed how hot Yu An's body temperature could get.
When the temperature spiked to a dangerous level, Liu Zai once again asked Qiu Qiu to apply a towel to his older brother.
Nine-Zai glanced at Six-Zai's expression and knew he had figured something out.
"What exactly happened?"
Nine-Zai nudged Six-Zai's arm, reminding him to speak up: "It concerns Big Brother's health. If you find anything, just tell us directly. Don't hide it from us."
"Nine-year-old."
Sixth Brother hadn't intended to hide it anyway. He looked at his eldest brother, then shifted his gaze to Ninth Brother's face and asked softly, "Don't you think that what eldest brother is doing now... sounds like a symptom?"
Nine-Cub: "..."
Jiu Zai paused for a moment.
A high fever, especially a persistent high fever, in the current environment, only indicates one possibility—
evolution.
Ordinary humans can evolve into superhumans, become more advanced zombies, or even become mutants.
Although their eldest brother had been bitten by a zombie, apart from tasting bitter melon, he didn't exhibit any other zombie characteristics.
In fact, the eldest brother doesn't have any special abilities.
The little ones never imagined that their eldest brother might "evolve".
"No, that's not right."
Nine-Zai refuted Six-Zai's point of view. He pointed to the bite mark on Yu An's arm where he was first bitten and said, "Big Brother was bitten by a zombie before, but he never changed."
When fighting zombies before, the older brother got bitten quite a few times.
Aside from the first time I was bitten and received the bitter gourd buff, I didn't get any buffs when I was bitten again.
"The zombie that bit my brother just now... I didn't see any difference between it and the zombies we had before."
"This is just a speculation." Liu Zai sat down and took the towel from Qiu Qiu's hand.
Chiu Chiu's hands were a little sore from exhaustion, but when he saw Liu Zai take the towel, he obediently handed it over as well.
"Let's observe the situation further."
There were no doctors present, and besides observing the situation and waiting for the medicine kit, there was nothing else they could do for the time being.
Just as they were all gathered around Yu An, Xie Chiyuan called again.
This time, it was still Qiuqiu who answered.
Qiuqiu turned on the camera, and the camera lens was pointed at Yu An on the bed.
Because the children had just cleaned Yu An up and changed his clothes, Yu An didn't look as scary as he did during the fight.
The way he sleeps with his eyes closed looks so obedient and well-behaved; he can really fool people.
Xie Chiyuan stared intently at the screen, not wanting to miss a single glance.
Why is An'an sleeping?
At this time, and having just been attacked by zombies, even if Yu An were the most carefree person, it would be impossible for him to sleep at this moment.
"I don't know."
Chiu Chiu shook her head, but then realized that Xie Chiyuan couldn't see her shaking her head.
So he reached out and touched Yu An's face with one hand, telling Xie Chiyuan, "Big brother is still breathing, he's not dead."
Xie Chiyuan: "..."
I'm not worried about him dying.
Xie Chiyuan rubbed his temples and asked directly, "Chiu Chiu, tell me, what's wrong with Big Brother?"
"Big brother, big brother is a little hot."
When Chuchu answered, she glanced at the other cubs. Seeing that none of them intended to stop her, she told the truth.
"My brother killed a lot of zombies, and he was injured."
Jiujiu even lifted Yu An's clothes to show Xie Chiyuan his wounds.
Liu Zai leaned over and covered her with the clothes without expression: "Chirp chirp, you don't have to show it in such detail."
They turned on the video call, but Xie Chiyuan could only see it through the video, not in front of him, and he felt a tightness in his chest.
Without his watchful eye, Yu An had just stepped out the door when trouble struck.
"Chirp chirp, please take good care of Big Brother. I'll be there as soon as possible."
Yin Qin has not fully woken up yet, and he still needs to take charge of everything in the West District.
