Chapter 503: The Train Driver
Qi Lin took out a thick thick canvas and a nail gun from the pile of debris in the corner of the car, nailed the canvas to the roof of the car, and temporarily blocked the big hole.
After that, Qi Lin walked to the cockpit located at the front of the car.
Dahan's wife was the same woman who had asked Qi Lin for a ticket in Vault 367 before, and she heard all the violent fighting sounds in the back compartment, but she couldn't leave the cab.
The train was converted from an abandoned locomotive, and the diesel engine on the train was derived from a retired Dongfeng 8 diesel locomotive.
It can be said that this train, which is a lot of scrap iron patchwork stuff, is already a miracle to be able to run, let alone running on the abandoned subway tracks in disrepair, the violent bumps are not at all like taking a train, more like an off-road vehicle over a rugged mountain.
Someone must always control the train and accelerate or slow down when necessary, otherwise it is likely that it will not be able to drive far and an accident such as a derailment will occur.
If you derail in such a place, then you are basically dead - the subway tunnel is full of mutant creatures, and this is not an official train passage, so there is no rescue at all.
It is precisely for this reason that no matter how fierce the fight in the back carriage sounds, women do not dare to easily leave the train and run over to help.
Seeing Qi Lin, who was covered in blood, walking into the cab alone, the woman who was concentrating on controlling the train was instantly shocked, trembling all over, staring at Qi Lin, but she couldn't say half a word in her mouth.
Qi Lin knew what this woman was thinking, and immediately said: "Don't worry, your man is fine, that mutant creature has been slaughtered by us, he was injured a little, it is not fatal, I will come and get the medicine box, by the way, where is the medicine box?" ”
Hearing Qi Lin say this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly pointed to the shelf directly above, where a plastic box with a red cross mark was crowded in the middle of a large pile of debris.
Getting the medicine box, Qi Lin looked around the cab again, to be honest, this may be the most humble train cab Qi Lin has ever seen - as early as a few decades ago, most trains have reached the level of automated driving, in addition to the dashboard, there are only a few buttons and a lever for the driver to manually brake in an emergency, in addition, the driver only needs to sit in the seat and glance at the readings on the dashboard from time to time.
But on the operating console of this train, there are seven or eight joysticks, and a disc similar to the steering wheel of a car, which is called a speed dial, also known as a power handle, which is used to adjust the traction of the train, and the effect is equivalent to the throttle.
Qi Lin had also driven a train once when he had escaped from Vault 187, but that kind of fully automatic train only required him to pull the electric switch, and if it was such a train parked in the station at that time, Qi Lin and Song Xiaodie might have been cold.
This kind of antique thing, let alone manipulation, even activates it, there is a series of cumbersome steps.
It seems that this couple can rely on this mixed rice to eat, and they also have their own unique skills.
With the medicine box, Qi Lin returned to the last carriage and opened the medicine box - the medicine box was very complete, and there was even a simple set of surgical tools, which made Qi Lin a little surprised.
"Bear with me, I'll have to cut off your dead flesh." Qi Lin said to Dahan, took out a pair of tweezers and a pair of scissors from the medicine box, and grilled them with a lighter to disinfect them.
"Hmm." The big man nodded, then bit a roll of towel into his mouth.
There are three wounds on Dahan's body, which are on the shoulder, the outside of the upper arm and the face, the first two wounds are relatively shallow, and the one on the face is the most serious, through a blur of flesh and blood, Qi Lin can even see the white teeth exposed in the wound.
The monster bit through the big man's face as soon as it went down.
After the disinfection was completed, the tweezers and scissors danced quickly in Qi Lin's hands, and in a numbing "click" sound, the necrotic flesh and tissues on the edge of the wound were cut off by Qi Lin.
Qi Lin's speed was already very fast, but this pain was not so easy to bear, especially without anesthetic.
The only thing in the medicine cabinet that could be used as an anesthetic was a fifteen-milliliter morphine, but apparently it wasn't for this purpose.
After treating the three wounds, Dahan was like he had been fished out of someone's water, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
The whole person almost collapsed, and the towel in his mouth was almost bitten.
After removing the necrotic tissue, Qi Lin cleaned the wound with hydrogen peroxide and iodophor cotton balls, sprinkled hemostatic powder, and finally pasted gauze and tied it with a bandage.
"It's a pity that you don't have a tetanus vaccine or a rabies vaccine here, only the common broad-spectrum antibiotics, so you'd better pray that these antibiotics will do something good." After Qi Lin injected Dahan with two antibiotics, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and put away the medicine box.
"Brother, thank you, if it weren't for you this time, it is estimated that my wife and I would have died at the hands of this monster." The big man, whose body was half wrapped in a dumpling by Qi Lin, reclined on the seat and said gratefully.
"Besides, after all, we are grasshoppers in the same boat, and if you hang up, I won't drive the train." Qi Lin smiled and waved his hand.
This big man gave Qi Lin a good impression, not only provided Qi Lin with a weapon for self-protection at a critical moment, but also took the initiative to stand up and face such a terrifying monster, these two points alone can show that this seemingly rough and savage big man is actually a very good guy.
"By the way, my name is Chen He, what's your name, brother?" Dahan asked suddenly.
Chen He? Qi Lin was stunned, it seems that a few decades ago, there was a very famous Chinese actor who seemed to be called by this name.
"My name...... Well...... This ......"
Qi Lin pretended to hesitate, and Chen He reacted instantly, this passenger who saved his life seemed to be a "rebel" on the run.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I almost forgot where you came from, brother, it doesn't matter if you don't have to tell me your name, anyway, from today onwards, I will treat you as my brother, the name or anything, it doesn't matter!"
"Haha, brother is right, the name doesn't matter or anything-" Qi Lin took advantage of the situation and said stubbornly, "By the way, Brother Chen He, it's not the first time you've walked this subway tunnel, is it the first time you've encountered this kind of monster?" ”
