The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

The hotel is located on the edge of the county town. It's a short drive to the city center. Fortunately, pharmacies are usually located on both sides of the road, so they are easy to find.

Their car headlights were the only light source on the entire main road; everything else was shrouded in darkness, giving it a rather eerie feel.

Cheng Zhenkai turned the car towards the pharmacy entrance, turned on the high beams, unbuckled his seatbelt, and leaned over to check on Chang Ning. Seeing that her face was flushed, he quickly got out of the car.

Zhao Chenyang offered to go down with him, but Cheng Zhenkai refused, saying, "You keep an eye on both sides for me."

The pharmacy was small, the door had long been damaged, and the medicines inside were in disarray. Cheng Zhenkai held up his camping lamp and shone it around. There was only a corpse wearing a white coat. He pretended not to see it and immediately started looking for antipyretics.

Fortunately, these kinds of medications are usually placed in obvious locations, so he took some and left immediately.

After getting back to the car, I first gave Changning the medicine, then drove the car a short distance further until there were no obvious buildings on either side before turning off the engine and stopping.

He let the two people in the back row sleep in the car for a few hours, while he held Chang Ning in his arms.

When Chang Ning woke up, it was still early, but it was already daylight. As soon as she moved, Cheng Zhenkai noticed: "Baby, how are you feeling?"

"Thirsty."

Cheng Zhenkai immediately fed her a few sips of water, "Are you still thirsty? Is anything bothering you?"

Chang Ning shook her head. Cheng Zhenkai put the water aside and took out the thermometer he had found at the pharmacy last night to check her temperature. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it had returned to normal and hugged her tightly: "Baby, you scared me to death!"

Two bright dark circles hung under his eyes. Chang Ning reached out and touched them. "Aren't you afraid? What if I turn into a zombie?"

Cheng Zhenkai rubbed his face against her hand: "With your skinny arms and legs, even if you turned into a zombie, you couldn't bite me."

Chang Ning pinched his cheek: "What if you change? I won't be able to control you!"

Cheng Zhenkai let her pinch him: "Don't worry, even if I change, I won't bite you!"

Chang Ning didn't believe it. He wasn't even conscious at that time, so how could he tell who was who? But there was no need to argue about it. He looked into the car and asked, "Where are the other two?"

"If you're hungry, eat something first while we cook breakfast outside."

Chang Ning was really hungry. After getting off the bus, Zhao Chenyang and Li Tianxu asked her how she was and if there was anything wrong with her body.

Chang Ning said no, but Li Tianxu pressed, "Really no? Feel it carefully!"

"Really, no."

Chang Ning was a little confused, but she still moved her arms and legs. Apart from feeling a little weak, she didn't feel anything was wrong. It was just a normal reaction after a fever.

"Any questions?"

Li Tianxu hesitated to speak, which annoyed Cheng Zhenkai.

"Just say what you have to say, stop beating around the bush!"

Li Tianxu explained, "These are just some speculations. Radiation is phased and cannot continue indefinitely. Its intensity must reach a peak and then gradually decline."

Chang Ning, puzzled, asked, "And then?"

Zhao Chenyang explained, "If you imagine radiation intensity as a parabola, it will turn most of the world's population into zombies before it reaches its peak, and it will be difficult for it not to affect another group of people when it reaches its peak."

"So, you mean I've very likely mutated?"

"Mutation is the norm; no mutation is the rarest."

Zhao Chenyang said, "Each of us is very likely to mutate, but not necessarily become a zombie. Li Tianxu predicted that the turning point of radiation has arrived, but we are all still alive and well. It can be said that we have passed the first stage."

"Because all living things have the instinct to survive, they will spontaneously adapt to the environment. Just like when dinosaurs faced extinction, in order to continue to reproduce, they eventually became birds that fly in the sky. So the subsequent mutations may not necessarily be a bad thing for humans."

Chang Ning carefully examined her entire body, then frowned and said, "But I really didn't feel anything unusual."

"Don't worry, maybe we're overthinking it."

The main reason was the flying monster they saw on the mountain that day, which made him and Li Tianxu think too much.

But soon they saw evidence that humans were mutating.

They had been traveling all night and only covered half a day's journey. At 3 p.m., they were looking for a place to rest when they saw some small houses built by farmers in the fields by the roadside. So they simply drove over there.

The downside of this place is that the conditions are basic and can't compare to hotels and guesthouses, but the upside is that it's safe because it's surrounded by fields and there are no people or zombies around, so you don't have to worry about anything.

They gathered some dry branches in the field, dug a hole in the ground, and piled up some stones to make a simple stove. They took out the pressure cooker they had brought from the villager's house last time and started steaming the rice.

I cut another piece of cured pork. Since there wasn't enough water, I simply cut off the dark outer layer and then sliced ​​it into thin pieces with alternating layers of fat and lean meat.

When the rice was almost cooked, he spread the slices of cured meat evenly on top of the rice. After thinking for a moment, Zhao Chenyang added some soy sauce that he had brought from his fellow villager's house.

The other three stared at his actions with bewildered and questioning looks. Finally, Cheng Zhenkai asked, "Is this edible?"

Zhao Chenyang said, "Of course."

After steaming for another ten minutes, when the lid was finally lifted, a rich aroma wafted out. The rich oil from the cured pork seeped into the rice, and the original fatty parts became crystal clear. One bite was even more delicious!

The last big pot of rice was eaten completely.

Zhao Chenyang said smugly, "See? I told you it was delicious!"

"It's delicious, but is it really necessary to attract so many people here?"

Cheng Zhenkai squinted at the distance. Their position was about ten meters away from the national highway, but the car was clearly heading towards them.

Everyone became alert. Chang Ning squinted and said, "It looks like the same people we met yesterday."

"Didn't they have three cars?"

There is only one vehicle on the road right now.

Chang Ning looked again and said, "Something must have happened; one of his tires is flat."

A short while later, the car wobbled up to them, but broke down as soon as it turned onto the edge of the field. A man got out of the car; it was the same man who had been on night watch when they left the night before.

However, his condition was far from good. Blood flowed from his temples to his chin and dried on his face. His lips were pale, and his clothes were tattered. There was a wound that cut directly from his left shoulder to his chest, with the flesh turned outwards.

As he approached them, he tripped over a mound of earth and nearly fell. Cheng Zhenkai stepped forward to help him up and asked, "What happened? Where are the rest of you?"

The man's face immediately contorted in pain: "They've all been killed!"
