Chapter 46: Meeting Dongzi
The pickup truck drove steadily, and An Qitong probed Zhao Ran's weak breathing from time to time, afraid that he would suddenly die like this. Finally, God favored him, although it looked miserable and serious, Zhao Ran was still strong and hung a sigh of relief.
"Brother Tiger, you have to find a place to treat Zhao Ran quickly, he won't last long."
An Qitong's voice trembled a little, she could feel Zhao Ran's body temperature slowly passing, if she couldn't treat the wound in time, Zhao Ran might really die.
"Looks like we're going to have to find a way to get into town. Zhao Ran had a gunshot wound and needed professional medical equipment. ”
Wen Hu glanced at Zhao Ran, who was already unconscious, through the rearview mirror, and he admired Zhao Ran a little.
"Where's Lin Zihao?"
They are bound to enter the city, but Lin Zihao has not yet come, and I don't know if he has been caught by the ninth brother's people, and whether he is safe.
"After he rescued us, he separated from us, he said he went to drive the truck and asked us to wait for you at the intersection, Zhao Ran and I saw the light here, so we came over, just here, I saw that you were caught, and before I could react, Zhao Ran blocked the gun for you."
Wen Hu explained slowly, he thought for a moment, and then continued:
Brother Lin said that he tried to lure Brother Jiu's people away, and the best way was to use the cart of rice as a cover. If it goes well, he should be waiting for us at the intersection now, but we didn't expect you to be caught, Zhao Ran was also injured, it seems that we have to change our original plan. ”
"The original plan?"
An Qitong was puzzled.
"Well, didn't we say that we went through the county seat of Orange County and went south to find that farm? Do not stop in the county seat to avoid danger. But now the top priority is to save Zhao Ran, so that we will have to stay in the county for a while. Also, the original road is not walkable, and we need to find a new way to the county seat. ”
Wen Hu was a little anxious, it was very dark outside the car, and only a small area illuminated by the lights of the pickup truck could be seen clearly, and he didn't know where Lin Zihao would be waiting for them.
Wenhu carefully slowed down the car and paid attention to the situation outside the starting car.
Except for the headlights, there was no light outside, An Qitong was worried about Zhao Ran and Lin Zihao, this was the most tricky thing she had encountered since the end of the world, she had no idea at all, and her heart was in a mess.
Zhao Ran's breathing became weaker and weaker, and An Qitong even suspected that Zhao Ran would not be able to wait for him to be rescued. At this moment, Xiao Dapeng, who was sitting in the carriage, patted the roof of the car fiercely.
Wen Hu hurriedly braked, it was too sudden, everyone was thrown forward by inertia, and Zhao Ran snorted in a coma, probably touching a wound.
"What's the matter, is it Brother Jiu's people chasing after you?"
An Qitong became nervous and hurriedly supported Zhao Ran, now they really have no power to resist, if they are caught again, they will no longer be able to escape.
Seeing Xiao Dapeng pointing to the bushes in front of the left side of the car, everyone stared nervously.
The bushes moved, and in the blink of an eye, two men emerged from the bushes.
"It's me!"
Lin Zihao's voice sounded after a long absence, and An Qitong instantly felt that every cell of her was relaxed, and she didn't realize it herself, it turned out that she was already relying on Lin Zihao.
The people in the car all breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Zihao opened the co-pilot's door and glanced at An Qitong first.
"Are you alright?"
"Are you alright?"
Both of them asked at the same time.
"I'm fine, it's just that Zhao Ran was injured, he was shot in order to save me, so I have to hurry up and save him!"
An Qitong didn't care about the embarrassment, and quickly replied.
Lin Zihao saw Zhao Ran, who was already unconscious in the back seat, and his originally good-looking brows were unconsciously wrinkled together.
"What's going on?"
Lin Zihao asked.
"It's too late to say, we have to hurry to the county seat, his gunshot wound will kill him at any time."
Wen Hu glanced anxiously at the outside of the car, if he was not mistaken, the person who was with Lin Zihao just now seemed to be Dongzi.
After everyone got into the car and sat down, Wen Hu hurriedly started the car and got back on the road.
"By the way, I met Dongzi, and he helped me."
Lin Zihao remembered that thanks to Dongzi just now, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten rid of Brother Jiu's people so quickly.
"Is it really Dongzi? I thought I was wrong. ”
Wenhu was a little happy, he originally thought that Dongzi was in danger when he was in the shopping mall, but now he magically appeared here, it seems that Dongzi has some ability.
"Where do we go next? Zhao Ran couldn't wait long. ”
An Qitong's voice was very anxious, she kept trying Zhao Ran to see if she was still angry, she was afraid that he would die in the car like this, on her lap.
"Dongzi said that he came from a survivor's village, and he came to see the fire here in the auto repair shop, there is hot water and food there, Zhao Ran can't hurry anymore, let's go to that village first."
Lin Zihao said roughly, although he didn't trust the village Dongzi said very much, but at the moment they had no other way.
"Okay, I'll get out of the car and let Dongzi drive."
After Wen Hu finished speaking, he hurriedly stopped, and soon changed to Dongzi to drive.
"Dongzi, go to the village you mentioned, we have a companion who is injured."
Lin Zihao pointed to Zhao Ran in the back seat.
"Was he bitten by a zombie?"
Dongzi glanced at it, but he didn't see it very clearly, he only knew that Zhao Ran was lying there motionless.
"No, he was shot."
An Qitong hurriedly replied.
"Oh, that's right, but it's okay if he's not dead, or you won't have to bother trying to save him."
After Dongzi finished speaking, he started the car and continued on the road, so that Lin Zihao on the side looked over with some puzzlement.
"Dongzi, you ......"
Before Lin Zihao finished speaking, Dongzi took over the conversation.
"Don't you know where zombies come from?"
Seeing Lin Zihao and An Qitong both shaking their heads, Dongzi sighed and continued.
"In the beginning, whether a human being dies a normal or an unnatural death, once there is no life, it will soon become a zombie, as if a switch has been turned on. But as long as it is a living person, it is fine, unless it is bitten or caught by a zombie, even if it is just a small wound, it will be infected. On the day of the end of the world, due to the sudden death of some people, such as a car accident, they soon became zombies, and the rest of the people were bitten without defense, and then they were infected into zombies. ”
"You mean, we normal people have this virus in our bodies, but if we are alive, we will not become zombies, and once we die, we will immediately become zombies. No matter how we die, the virus in our body will turn us into zombies? ”
Lin Zihao said in surprise, since the end of the world, this is the first time he has heard about how zombies came about.
"Yes, as long as the head is still good when he dies, he will become a zombie, so I asked Zhao Ran if he is still alive, because once he dies, he will become a zombie."
Dongzi nodded and glanced at An Qitong in the rearview mirror.
And An Qitong in the back seat lowered his head, his eyes looked at Zhao Ran without blinking, she heard Dongzi's words, she originally thought that if they were saved in time, Zhao Ran would be fine, but now, Zhao Ran may not only lose his life, but also become the same ugly and disgusting zombie as outside, is this price too great, can she bear such consequences?
Zhao Ran became like this because she saved her, she owes Zhao Ran!
An Qitong began to pray repeatedly in his heart, praying that Zhao Ran would survive, praying that God would continue to favor them.
"An Qitong, it's okay, Zhao Ran won't become a zombie, we can save him!"
Lin Zihao leaned over, and the sonorous and powerful words slowly came out of his mouth, his eyes were as gentle as ever, and there were some more things that An Qitong couldn't understand.
"Miss An, don't worry, there is a doctor in the village who can save him. As long as he doesn't die now. ”
Dongzi also said comfortingly.
"Is this village reliable? You know we just escaped from a perverted place. ”
An Qitong asked, her voice still trembling a little.
"Don't worry, this is a small base, built by people who escaped from Orange County, but it's not the same auto repair shop you said. This is also why the Ninth Brother wants you to stay, because once you escape, everything he does will be known, although this base is not big, but it is still stronger than the Ninth Brother, and the number of people alone can be done against the Ninth Brother, not to mention that there is also an armed police team stationed there. ”
Dongzi smiled softly and continued.
"Originally, it was fine, but Brother Jiu's people were too evil, not only robbing us of supplies, but also robbing people from us, if he treated the survivors well, it would be fine, but he was to satisfy his own selfish desires, and he arrested people to be slaves. We have long seen that they are not pleasing to the eye, but the helpless thing is that Brother Jiu is too smart and generally does not deal with us openly, so it is not good for us to go directly to them. ”
"Is he afraid that we will escape and report to you? It's so uplifting! ”
An Qitong was a little scoffing, not to mention that they didn't have this kind of thought, even if they did, they didn't know that this base existed, and they dared to be involved inexplicably.
"By the way, why are you here?"
An Qitong was very surprised, and then remembered that Dongzi appeared too timely.
After hearing this, Dongzi gritted his teeth a little.
"Besides, that Li Yuan is really not a thing, if I hadn't run fast, I might have really been bitten to death by the zombies he put in. I took advantage of the chaos, and quickly drove away a truck at the door, and then fled here, I also wanted to go directly to the county seat, but I thought that I was alone, and it would be dangerous if I encountered a large number of zombies, so I had to look for a safe place in the surrounding villages to see if there was a safe place, so I found the village base. The rest of the things are all from the people at the base, the armed police there also have satellite equipment, which can contact the outside world, and the things about those zombies are all from the government. ”
Dongzi was a little lucky, otherwise he would have been caught by Brother Jiu.
"I volunteered to come out to help the armed police patrol, and I happened to see a fire burning in the direction of the auto repair shop, so I came here to take a look, and I happened to meet Mr. Lin."
Dongzi explained how he knew so much news, but he didn't say anything when he met Lin Zihao, it seems that he will have to ask Lin Zihao about this matter later.
An Qitong nodded and didn't say anything anymore, the only thing she was worried about now was Zhao Ran.
The car was driving along the crooked path, Dongzi drove the car very carefully, and when Lin Zihao heard that there were still troops, his heart lit up.
The people in the car were thinking about their own business, and they were quiet for a while.
