Chapter 163 - thermometer (repair)

It was pitch black all around, and the footsteps stepped on the ground, making a slight “click” sound, and the pale light swayed around and on the ground in front, bringing out a scene of depression and silence.

Walking here, Wei Xuan felt like he had entered the scene of a ghost movie. If you use this place to shoot ghost movies, you don’t even need to decorate it, you can just carry the camera.

No, it’s not just here, all the streets after the end of the world can be directly used as the set boards of the scene of the ghost film, plus the genuine zombie ensemble actors… Unfortunately, even if this kind of film is made now, I’m afraid it will be too late. No one has the chance to be in the mood to see it.

Feeling emotional in his heart, Wei Xuan silently walked down the slope. Passing by the small pavilion at the entrance responsible for the security check of the entrance and exit, one can only see a pool of blood at the entrance of the small house, which is too dark to recognize its original appearance. There are no traces of zombies in the room. Obviously, even in the early days of the end of the world, there are still zombies here. At this time, I am afraid that I don’t know where the wandering has gone.

There were still sporadic vehicles parked in the parking spaces in the underground parking garage at this time. Wei Xuan looked around with a flashlight, and confirmed that there were no traces of zombies even in the cars, so he took Du Hang together. Go to the entrance that leads to the second basement level.

Yes, that’s right, there is only one floor below this building. From the sign at the entrance of the stairs, there are actually three floors below that are underground parking lots.

It is located near a residential area, and most of the houses here are old communities. There were almost no parking lots near the old community, so when this building was built, it was probably in the mind of creating more parking lots to earn extra money and pay back its capital, so so many layers of underground parking lots were built.

Fortunately, they didn’t frantically create too many layers, three layers is already the limit.

Wei Xuan continued to walk down the passage, and there were fewer vehicles on the second basement floor. Compared with the upper floor, the number of sundries and bricks falling on the ground was also very rare. When he came to the third basement floor, he realized that he couldn’t go in at all.

It’s not that any debris fell at the entrance and blocked the way, but… the entire third floor was almost half-flooded by the rain.

After taking a flashlight to take a picture around the water surface and the surrounding walls, Wei Xuan confirmed that there was nothing special and that no zombies or human corpses were found in the water, so he took Du Hang back to the second floor.

The accumulated water on the third basement floor may have accumulated from the heavy rains that fell a while ago, or it may have leaked into the building from a burst water pipe at the beginning of the earthquake.

But no matter what, that layer was unusable, and Wei Xuan did not dare to use it when he was unable to determine the source of the stagnant water, let alone whether there would be something derived from the water after the end of the world, and whether there were viruses or germs. use.

But precisely because of the half-floor of the third basement floor full of water, the entire underground parking lot was extremely shady.

Wei Xuan walked around the second floor. The environment and conditions here are very suitable for an ice cellar, but…

Think about the lower layer is water, if the accumulated water there is really rainwater, it is not good to cover the ice cellar on this layer, if there is a heavy rain one day, the water in the third underground layer will not leak out. It is easy to spread to the second floor.

In comparison, it is safer to put it on the first floor.

So, he dragged Du Hang up to the first floor together, checked it carefully, returned to the ground, wandered around the ruined walls of the building for a long time, and then brought Du Hang home together.

At present, it is relatively safe to temporarily cover the basement of the ice cellar here, but he is also worried about the problem of water accumulation. In the past, he only thought about digging a hole or using the basement as an ice cellar. But I also found that there are many problems whether this thing is built on the ground or underground. Even when I thought about it at the time, I felt that everything was well considered, but it is impossible to say that when things are really done, other situations will emerge, leading to more serious situations.

“Oh… just want to build an ice cellar, why is it so much trouble?” Wei Xuan shook his head and sighed, and went back to the room and rubbed his temples on the sofa in the living room. Du Hang sat obediently beside him, and immediately moved over when he saw him close his eyes.

Received the kissing radio wave from his lover, Wei Xuan didn’t even open his eyes, he closed his eyes and raised his hand to touch him, a fluffy head directly leaned over and kissed his lips.

Forget it, let’s build an ice cellar on the basement first. At worst, the frame will be fixed first. The filling and Hong Kong version inside will wait until the weather turns cold and it starts to snow. After the whole summer and autumn, the accumulated water there I can know exactly how much I can accumulate, and if I can’t do it, I can talk about other things.

Having made up his mind, Wei Xuan decided to read and study the pile of books he brought back immediately after being intimate with Du Hang. He is not in a hurry now, and there is a lot of water in the house, and it has been rainy recently In this season, it should not be a big problem to cope with the past this year. After all, the most water-scarce season here in City T is in spring and early summer, and that time has long passed.

Thinking in his heart, when Du Hang finally let go of Wei Xuan contentedly, Wei Xuan, who got up and went to the backpack to get a book, suddenly found something – a thermometer.

These thermometers can be placed in several rooms that need to be monitored, such as the room where I live, and in the ice cellar built later, and the rest can be carried on the body to monitor the places that need to be tested at any time. But when Wei Xuan saw this thing, the first thing Wei Xuan thought of was indeed another thing—the thermometer.

When he went out this time, he originally wanted to find a few more thermometers to come back, but he was busy on the way back, and then he had to deal with the matter of having antlers, so he temporarily put it aside. But now, thinking of this incident, he felt as if his heart had grown hairs, and he couldn’t sit still at all, so after wandering around the room twice, he dragged Du Hang down the stairs again and out of his community.

In fact, there are many pharmacies and small clinics near the community, and temperature agents are sold in any of them. Wei Xuan randomly found a house, went in and searched carefully and found it.

What he found was mercury, because no one had used it for a long time, and he didn’t know whether it was caused by the high outside temperature or some other reason. The temperature at this time was higher, so Wei Xuan shook it for a long time and wiped it clean. Only then did he stuff it under his armpit, and sat uneasy on a chair in the small clinic, with Du Hang obediently acting as a pillar by his side.

Five minutes passed, Wei Xuan quickly took it out to look at it, the number on it made him a little dazed, and it took him a long time to say: “No move?”

Mercury was still at the bottom, showing no signs of moving. Wei Xuan shook it hard a few times in disbelief, and stuffed it back under his armpit. This time, he waited for ten minutes, and then he took it out, and then—the quicksilver was still nestled in the same place, without moving.

Wei Xuan only felt his heart beating suddenly, and he couldn’t recover for a long time. After a long while, he jumped up suddenly, got up and rushed to the place where he had just found the thermometer, and quickly took out a few more from the remaining ones in turn. Shaking it out of prescription, I stuffed it under my armpit, but… “Still not…”

Either these things are broken, or…that is, my body temperature is lower than the lowest temperature that can be measured.

“Thirty-five degrees… go to that small clinic!” The mercury thermometer can only measure a minimum of thirty-five degrees. At this time, only mercury can be found in this small pharmacy. He wanted to check to see if he could find electronic thermometers. Test the thermometer again.

Of course, he is also planning to take these mercury sticks away. He is going to take them home and try them with warm water to see if it is his own problem or this thing is all broken!

Not long after, the two rushed to a small clinic nearby. After searching, neither the electronic thermometer nor the awesome-looking infrared thermometer could measure Wei Xuan’s weird body temperature. Because these kinds of medical thermometers have restrictions on their use, the lower limit of the temperature measurement is above 32 degrees or 35 degrees.

“…Where have you seen this thing before?” Wei Xuan was not discouraged by this. Until now, no instrument can accurately tell him what his own body temperature is, so he still takes chances as these things All broken. But looking at the shape of the infrared thermometer, he suddenly remembered that he had seen something similar in a hardware store or something.

So, he took Du Hang again and went straight to a nearby larger hardware store that he had visited many times, and he found an infrared thermometer.

In fact, the principle of this kind of temperature measurement is the same as that of infrared thermometers, except that the medical one has set the upper and lower limits that can be displayed. The one used in hardware stores is to measure the temperature of various equipment when it is running, so it is used The lower limit is very large. The one Wei Xuan found can measure from -50 degrees to 800 degrees.

With the sound of “di”, the instrument pointed directly at his forehead got a result. Seeing the Arabic numerals displayed on it, Wei Xuan swallowed hard: “28…degrees.”

Are you sure this temperature is body temperature and not room temperature? ?

Wei Xuan took a deep breath, changed the position and measured again—”27.6…”

Standing up all of a sudden, Wei Xuan held up the thing that was very similar in shape to the gun, and the sound of “di, didi” sounded one after another. He was facing the table, the chair, the wall, and everything. Turn around, and finally, turned to look at Du Hang, who was followed by Guaihang, raised the thing and pointed it at his forehead—”12 degrees…”

Should he be thankful that his temperature is higher than Du Hang’s?

28 degrees, which is a lot lower than the indoor temperature, no wonder I felt cold and comfortable when I held him last year, and felt a little cold in winter. But now… What is the reason for my body temperature to drop?

He twitched the corners of his mouth a little bit bitterly, raised his arms to put his arms around Du Hang’s shoulders and neck, and buried his face beside his neck: “Maybe it’s because of the supernatural power… the supernatural power can also change the constitution.” This point He knew a long time ago, if it wasn’t for this reason at the beginning of the end of the world, how would his wound heal?

“…I seem to have forgotten one thing. After human beings become zombies, the zombies whose physique has been changed by the zombie virus… will also speed up their healing speed after being injured…”

Ability, zombies, zombie virus, changed physique, dropped body temperature… Is this an exception or an accident? Or is it the same for all supernatural beings?

At this time, Wei Xuan suddenly wanted to run to the base, or find the supernatural beings in other bases, or directly find the two lunatics, and give them a body temperature test. However, he dared not face an unexpected and reasonable result.

“…Let’s see again after a while, if it continues to decline, it might as well be infected directly by me.” Wei Xuan smiled wryly and muttered in a low voice. The reason why he has never been directly infected with the zombie virus is nothing more than worrying what if he forgets about Du Hang after being infected and leaves him voluntarily? But if something weird happens, he would rather take the initiative to be infected with the zombie virus and become a zombie if he can’t judge whether he will become the same as Du Hang if he continues like this, or just die like this.
