BC Chapter 60

Chapter 59

Zhou Yuanyuan was running more and more happily, more and more excited. However, Jiang Juncheng and Lu Ziming, who were watching Zhou Yuanyuan from below the treadmill, had increasingly strange expressions on their faces.

We all know that running is an exercise that can stimulate the secretion of dopamine in the human body. Therefore, during the process of running, as long as the physique and physical strength allow, people will gradually fall in love with the feeling of running. But Zhou Yuanyuan had already said before the test that she rarely exercises in her daily life, so suddenly letting her run so fast, she shouldn’t and couldn’t possibly be so excited. At the very least, she should be feeling some pain. But looking at her current state, it was exactly the opposite.

Lu Ziming and Jiang Juncheng exchanged a very tacit look, and both saw the shock that the other was experiencing at this moment. But neither of them said anything, just waited silently to see when Zhou Yuanyuan would signal the end of the test.

After waiting for a long time, Zhou Yuanyuan finally called a stop when the sweat on her cheeks was dripping.

Jiang Juncheng withdrew his hand, and the timer on the screen showed: 41 minutes.

After seeing the time, Zhou Yuanyuan’s hand, which was originally wiping the sweat from her forehead and cheeks, stopped unconsciously. Compared to before, her speed had actually increased by more than double. Anyone could see that this result was abnormal.

After walking off the treadmill, she only felt her steps were unsteady. Where was the high-spirited look she had when running on the treadmill just now? She had completely turned into a wilted eggplant.

It is said that experiments reveal the truth, and at this moment, after the speed test, she seemed to know the final answer.

After she came down, Jiang Juncheng and Lu Ziming didn’t say anything to stimulate her. Moreover, Lu Ziming’s test hadn’t been done yet, so the two of them just repeated the test steps and tested Lu Ziming’s speed as well.

Because Lu Ziming had a good physique and usually practiced climbing, and occasionally ran to increase her physical strength, Jiang Juncheng set her to fast from the beginning. Like Zhou Yuanyuan, fifteen minutes was considered normal. As a result, the value that came out for Lu Ziming was even more exaggerated than Zhou Yuanyuan, more than twice her previous speed.

“There’s one more thing you didn’t notice, you both had a strange red flash in your eyes during the process of running at full speed.” Jiang Juncheng’s words were like the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Although they fell lightly, they sounded like a bolt from the blue in Lu Ziming and Zhou Yuanyuan’s ears, completely confirming the fact that they had been infected.

“But actually, you don’t need to worry. Even if you are in the same infected state, you are different from those zombies outside. You don’t have any obvious changes in appearance. So I guess, it’s probably because you carry antibodies in your body that can resist the complete invasion of this virus,” Jiang Juncheng said, comforting Lu Ziming and Zhou Yuanyuan while turning off the treadmill.

“We’ve guessed this too. But as you said, our bodies will still show abnormalities when we run at full speed, which shows that even if we have antibodies, they are not the kind that can completely resist the virus. And, you don’t know, I just… almost bit Zhou Yuanyuan, who was completely unprepared,” Lu Ziming hesitated after hearing Jiang Juncheng’s words, and finally told her everything that had happened.

“Oh? What did it feel like at the time?” Jiang Juncheng immediately became interested when he heard Lu Ziming’s words and asked eagerly.

“It was a dazed feeling, a feeling that my body was not controlled by my brain. By the time I realized what I was doing, I had already pounced in front of her,” Lu Ziming explained to Jiang Juncheng, “Fortunately, it only happened once.”

“It was after we were rescued that I discovered the wound on her back, but because she didn’t turn into a zombie immediately, I still had a fluke mentality, thinking that the wound might not have been caused by a zombie, so I didn’t tell you,” Zhou Yuanyuan saw that Lu Ziming had personally admitted what had happened before, so she quickly took over and explained to Jiang Juncheng.

“It’s okay. I can understand your thoughts, and besides, nothing happened, so you don’t need to worry too much,” Jiang Juncheng saw the guilty expressions on their faces, smiled, and waved his hand indifferently to comfort them.

“However, if you have antibodies, it proves that this virus can be immunized against before infection, which is also a good thing, right…” Jiang Juncheng pinched his chin and said thoughtfully.

“…Do you want to be immunized too?” Lu Ziming stretched out her arm and suddenly blurted out this sentence.

“What?” Jiang Juncheng didn’t understand what Lu Ziming meant, but after looking up and seeing her action, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Sister, don’t mess with me, okay? I’m not interested in your blood. I’m not the kind of mad scientist in movies. I’m just interested in mechanical structures and principles. What do I want your blood for?! You’re really, deliberately teasing me!” Jiang Juncheng was amused by Lu Ziming’s serious and cute appearance and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Yeah, I guess those who do virus research would be interested in us,” Lu Ziming retracted her arm, scratched her head, and sighed.

“If you’re going to draw blood, draw mine. Your injuries haven’t healed yet, don’t be a hero!” Zhou Yuanyuan grabbed Lu Ziming’s arm and hugged it in her arms, glaring at her.

Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan’s eager appearance, like a hen protecting her chicks, Jiang Juncheng found it even more amusing. He walked to the two of them, reached out and flicked Zhou Yuanyuan’s forehead, laughing and scolding, “I told you, I don’t want your blood!! What kind of brains do you have!!”

“Ouch, it hurts!” Zhou Yuanyuan covered her forehead and exaggeratedly bared her teeth at the laughing Jiang Juncheng.

“You’re really good at pretending. Just let your Lu sister rub it for you. Little kid!” Jiang Juncheng raised his eyebrows and sneered at Zhou Yuanyuan’s acting skills.

However, Jiang Juncheng’s words seemed to remind Zhou Yuanyuan. She immediately turned to Lu Ziming, looking aggrieved, and lifted her bangs, saying, “Lu Ziming, rub it for me.”

Lu Ziming’s personality has always been quiet, so she rarely mingles with people to maintain social connections. But at this moment, just standing aside and watching these two argue didn’t arouse any feelings of boredom, which made her feel a little strange.

It wasn’t until Zhou Yuanyuan pouted and asked her for comfort that she felt a stirring in her heart, as if a strange emotion suddenly emerged. How should I put it? It wasn’t an emotion that would make her feel disgusted, but she couldn’t describe it specifically. Anyway, it just felt like a warm current suddenly Emergency in her originally dry heart, slowly and quietly flowing, making her originally tense mood slowly calm down.
