Chapter 24 (II) Cancer
Tang Shuxing slowly walked up to the kid and stretched out his hand: "Don't be afraid, uncle is not a bad person, uncle is just passing by here, I hope you can help uncle, okay?" There are ...... outside There are bad people chasing uncles. β
The child saw that Tang Shuxing was speaking the same language as him, and then nodded, and when he nodded, he suddenly coughed, and this cough spit out a large mouthful of blood.
"That's right!" Tang Shuxing beckoned Na Jincheng to come forward, only Na Jincheng knew medical skills here.
Na Jincheng stepped forward, no matter how the child struggled, he checked up and down, and then checked the child's mouth, asked carefully for a while, turned his head and whispered to Tang Shuxing: "Looking at his symptoms and his explanation, it seems to be esophageal cancer." β
"What?" Tang Shuxing was surprised, "He's just a child." β
Na Jincheng shook his head: "Cancer doesn't matter whether it's a child or an adult. β
The child leaned in the corner, and after listening to the words of Jin Cheng, he said: "Uncle is right, it is esophageal cancer, and the doctor also said so, saying that I will not live long, and my mother also wants to cure me, but we have no money, we have nothing, not even food, my mother is hungry, she said that she is going to sleep, let me guard her, I know that when she wakes up, she will get up and go out to work, and bring food back......"
The child had tears in his eyes, and he knew very well that his mother was dead, but he kept deceiving himself in this way, telling him that his mother was still alive, but she was too hungry, so she slept down, and in fact his mother was starving to death.
Tang Shuxing stood there, looking at the corpse, the child with esophageal cancer. And that fluffy kitten, a lot of things suddenly came to his mind - cancer, for their corpses, it is something that must be stored, but for ordinary people, this thing is deadly, as long as it is suffered, the chance of healing is almost very small, and these global resistance forces that claim to be righteous and want to fight for humanity. At the time of coming to the city. It's like cancer, making life worse than death for all people in this city, with no jobs and no food. They even expropriated everything that civilians relied on for the sake of the growth of their own army.
"Fuckβ" Tang Shuxing bowed his head and said these three words. Turning to look at the sealed window. Now his eyes are like this window, sealed and he can't see anything. There is no hope, nothing is seen.
He was always looking for hope, looking for a solution, but every time he came up with the result, he made himself so desperate. Many years ago, he thought that Shang Du was the real culprit who ruined the world, and that he could stop Yi QiΔ by stopping Shang Du from Reinhardt, only to find out later that even without Shang Du, the harsh environment would kill all humans. Later, after knowing the truth about ancient humans, he fell into confusion again, and found that the problems he faced seemed to be unsolvable, and he could understand them, but what about other people?
Whether it is the Resistance Army or Shangdu, it seems that everyone's purpose is to survive, but the ultimate meaning of survival has become two words - cruelty.
Selfishness, human selfishness is the most terrible and deadliest cancer! Tang Shuxing thought of this and suddenly covered in a cold sweat, because at that moment, he suddenly understood some Reinhardtch and some Gu Dan, because Gu Dan in the early years thought so, so he wanted to destroy the human race, and Reinhardt hoped to replace the human race with himself and eliminate the selfishness of the human race.
But is that possible?
There is no solution, and this question is still unanswered.
"It's getting louder, and the walking corpse is probably going to be searched, and we should go." Bai Zhanqiu said and entered the house, and after seeing the scene in front of him, he was also stunned, and then he didn't say anything, turned around and went out again.
"Take the kids, let's go." That Jincheng is going to hold the child.
"Don't ......," Tang Shuxing squatted down, touched the child's head, and said, "You have to ask him if he wants to go." β
"What?" That Jin Cheng felt that Tang Shu's punishment at this time was very strange.
Tang Shuxing looked at the child and asked seriously: "Child, are you willing to go with us?" β
"No, I'm going to be with my mother." The child shook his head firmly.
"There are monsters out there, monsters, this kind of monster is scary, they will kill you and tear you to pieces." Tang Shuxing said calmly.
That Jin Cheng looked at Tang Shu and said, "He's just a child, why are you telling him this?" Just take him away. β
"In the eyes of a child, parents are the world, he is only ten years old, he doesn't understand anything, he doesn't have a mother, he has nothing." Tang Shuxing said in a low voice, "So, he won't leave." β
The child just shook his head and didn't say anything, and that Jin Cheng also knew that with their existing conditions, as well as the child's Cheng dΓΉ who vomited blood, he wouldn't live long, maybe a week, maybe a little longer, in short, he wouldn't live too long.
Tang Shuxing hugged the child and said, "Don't you really want to go with us?" β
"Uncle, I'm scared." The child finally cried, "But my mother hasn't woken up yet, and I don't want to leave." β
The child was crying and blood was still dripping from the corners of his mouth, and Na Jincheng turned his head to look to the side, he didn't want to see this picture.
At this time, Tang Shuxing stared at the kid and kept looking, without taking his eyes off for a second.
"I know you're scared, but you have to believe in yourself at all times and keep yourself alive, you know? Even if it's one more second, one more second! Tang Shuxing hugged the child and said in a low voice.
The child was silent, just crying, but his eyes were looking at his mother, who was lying on the side, her body had changed color.
After a long time, Bai Zhanqiu walked in again and signaled to them with his eyes that they couldn't stay any longer, they had to go, and if they didn't leave, it would be too late.
"Come with us!" Tang Shuxing persuaded again, but the child pushed Tang Shuxing away, shook his head and retreated to his mother's side, and then curled up there like the kitten, no longer looking up.
"Let's go." Tang Shuxing stood up, "This is his own choice, respect his choice." β
Na Jin Cheng didn't insist anymore, got up and walked to the back door, and moved the refrigerator that was blocked there, he saw that there were blood stains on the refrigerator, and there were also on the ground, he could fully imagine that the child's mother used her last strength to move the refrigerator to block the back door before she died. But he no longer had the strength to seal the front door.
And the child, too, vomited blood to help his mother move the refrigerator, although his strength was small.
"Let's go." Tang Shuxing easily moved the refrigerator, and when he walked to the back door with Bai Zhanqiu and Na Jincheng, he saw the child holding the kitten and standing at the door of the bedroom watching them wave his hand.
"Goodbye, uncle, thank you." The child smiled.
"Goodbye." Tang Shuxing also barely squeezed out a smile, and then turned his head and left, Na Jincheng followed closely and wanted to escape from here immediately, while Bai Zhanqiu stood there looking at the child.
"Uncle. What's wrong? The kid looked at Bai Zhanqiu strangely.
"What's your name?" Bai Zhanqiu asked.
The child just laughed. Without saying anything, he closed the bedroom door......
At that moment, Bai Zhanqiu felt as if something was tearing at his heart.
β¦β¦
Go ahead, keep going. Go again. On the way forward, Tang Shuxing always tried to find one or two more people alive. He took them away, but unfortunately he didn't find them, and all he saw were mutilated corpses. Didn't see a single person alive.
That Jin Cheng is also looking for it, Bai Zhanqiu is also watching, the three of them are trying to make up for the remorse in their hearts in this way, maybe they should really take that child away, but can they take it away? That kid won't go.
Perhaps.
The gunfire in the city was no longer dense, but scattered, and it could be heard that the walking corpses had killed most of the troops entrenched in the city, and the gunfire was almost concentrated in the central area, in the five-star hotel.
Tang Shuxing climbed to the top of a tall building, looked at the hotel with a telescope, pointed there, and said, "There are still living people there, we should go there, save one by one." β
"Okay." That Jin Cheng didn't speak, just responded simply, and Bai Zhanqiu just nodded.
In the night, the three of them set off towards the five-star hotel, and at the same time, Quinn also led his team to the periphery of the five-star hotel, and after contacting each other, he entered the basement of the hotel through the guΓ² sewer, and saw the extremely cautious representative of the blood shark in the basement.
The moment they met, the first thing Quinn asked the other party was, "Since there are sewers to get in and out, why don't you go?" β
The representative of the blood shark smiled and smiled bitterly: "What are you kidding?" Even if we rush out, how far can we go? There are so many of us, once we go out, we will attract the attention of all the monsters, and we will be surrounded to death in an instant. β
Quinn shook his head: "So you choose to sit and wait?" β
The blood shark representative's face sank, and he looked at the dozens of old and weak soldiers who were resting in the basement: "So, you lied to me that you have more than a thousand people under you?" β
"That's just giving you false hope and not giving up." Quinn said, looking at the parked cars in the basement, "Also, I'm going to borrow your car for use, and our goal now should be to go to the docks, not stay here and die." β
"You've drunk too much, haven't you?" The Blood Shark represented, "Docks? There should be more monsters there, what we should do now is to wait for daylight, I heard that the walking corpse will not show up during the day, let's talk about it then, how about it? β
"That's fine." Quinn nodded, he had also heard that the walking corpse would not show up during the day.
"But I'm up to me here, you have to follow my rules, understand?" The representative of the blood shark said in a deep voice, "Your range of activities is only in the basement, if you want to go to other places, you must go through my permission, and also, we have limited food, there is a running water pipe in the basement, you have to drink water and defecate yourself, but you have something to eat, sorry, we don't have anything to spare." β
After the blood shark finished saying that he was leaving, Reuben got up angrily and said, "What are you?" β
"What?" The Blood Shark representative sneered, "It's a compliment for giving me false hope." β
With that, the representative of the blood shark left with the people, and then the door to the basement was sealed, and the sound of them piling things up was heard outside, and it seemed that not only did they lock the door, but also piled up debris outside to prevent Quinn's team from going up.
"! This crumb! Ruben kicked the door.
Quinn shook his head and said, "It's okay, this is human nature, you should know it, people are like this, you should have understood it many years ago." β
Ruben sat down: "But you're different, you're saving people." β
"You're wrong, I used to be worse than him, but then I met that guy." Quinn sat down against one of the cars, "I was thinking that if that guy was here now, maybe he could take us away, and he would be like a savior...... (to be continued......
