Chapter 247: The Sound at the End of the Corridor
85_85483In the evening, the scorching sun that had been scorching all day finally slowly faded its colors.
And as the last trace of afterglow disappeared, the silent urban management bureau also fell into darkness immediately.
Tang Xiaoquan lit the brazier at the right time, and in the flames that rose, several plastic faces were reflected in the fiery red.
The survivors all had indifferent expressions, and no one wanted to speak, so they sat stupidly, as if they had lost their souls.
In this regard, Tang Xiaoquan was also full of helplessness.
There's no way, who is calling Hu Xiaodong's situation still worrying? Although his breath was no longer as rapid as before due to the combined efforts of everyone, his consciousness was ......
Shaking his head depressedly, Tang Xiaoquan stood up, the depressing atmosphere at the moment made him a little uncomfortable, and he walked towards the corridor verbally, where Lao Zhao and Lao Lin were smoking cigarettes.
"Come?" Seeing the figure in the darkness clearly, Zhao Yunhai handed over the cigarette case that was "seized" in the afternoon to the figure for the first time.
Seeing the cigarette case being pushed, Tang Xiaoquan hesitated for a few moments, and finally pulled one out of it.
It's just that he didn't ignite it, but slowly put it to the corner of his lips.
As for why there is no ignition, in fact, the reason is very simple, simply put, two words: quit!
After all, the last days are short of resources, medical equipment is scarce, and no one knows how long it will last.
Therefore, Tang Xiaoquan didn't want to let himself suffer from "unwarranted disasters" in the future because of this "luxury" hobby.
Regarding the young man's slightly strange behavior, Lao Zhao and Lao Lin didn't care.
Lao Lin spat out the circles in his eyes and asked lightly: "How is that~ Xiaohu?" Awakened? ”
Shaking his head silently, Tang Xiaoquan sniffed the cigarette in his hand in a distracted manner, and then sighed: "Hey~ The person hasn't woken up yet, but the fever should have subsided!" ”
Maybe he didn't want to put too much pressure on others, after hearing Tang Xiaoquan's slightly weak reply, Lin Junfu tilted his neck slightly, and then affirmed: "Well, it's good that the fever has subsided, and the fever has subsided means that Xiaohu's body is currently recovering." It's a pity that we can't give him an infusion at the moment. ”
At this point, Lin Junfu pondered for a while, and then spoke: "That~ Who is responsible for cooling Xiaohu now?" ”
"Chaozi and Xiao Wen!" Tang Xiaoquan replied truthfully.
"Well, you...... In this way, Xiao Tang, let them feed Xiaohu some water with a spoon, see how he reacts, and if he can swallow on his own, use this method to hydrate Xiaohu. After speaking, Lin Junfu seemed to feel inappropriate, after all, although Wang Qiang has a good heart, but due to his personality, his work is still relatively rough.
So for the sake of completeness, Lin Junfu simply snuffed out the cigarette butt, got up and said, "I'll go in person, go!" Let's go! ”
Leaving Lao Zhao alone on duty at the crossing, Lin Junfu led Tang Xiaoquan back to the ward.
Don't say it, Lao Lin's method seems to be a bit "wonderful", but the actual effect is really good, at least Hu Xiaodong, who has been "**" for nearly a day, finally has the opportunity to accept Qing Shui's "grace".
And this is undoubtedly an extremely important and crucial thing for a person like him who has a continuous high fever and is dehydrated.
"That's it! Everybody has seen it! Just use this method to feed Xiaohu water, let's all work hard tonight, a shift of 2 people. Half an hour per group, I believe that as long as we persist for one night, Xiaohu should be able to wake up! ”
"That's right! Absolutely! Almost suppressing Lao Lin's words, Tang Xiaoquan echoed.
Of course, he did not have a definite grasp of "Hu Xiaodong's waking up", on the contrary, he just wanted to boost his morale.
After all, anything can happen in a long night.
The side must and needs to maintain sufficient vigilance and combat effectiveness to deal with any possible unexpected incidents.
Time passed slowly in a boring waiting, during which Lao Zhao took care of dinner for everyone.
Unlike noon, dinner is mainly based on noodles, and of course, the noodles are actually two packs of instant noodles that were collected earlier.
It's just that most of the current survivors are worried about Hu Xiaodong's condition, and they don't have much to eat.
So after a simple meal, this tasteless dinner is hastily over.
At night, when the moon is in the sky, the silver horses are swaying on the ground, and the city that has been scorched all day finally has a chance to breathe at this moment, and the heat that gradually dissipates also makes the survivors in the urban management bureau feel a little cool.
Tang Xiaoquan followed Lao Lin to the first floor again to investigate the situation outside the downstairs, perhaps because there was no trace of the "prey" for half a day, and those beasts who were originally "irritable and furious" were all very "quiet" at the moment.
Of course, the "quietness" here is only relative, at least compared to their "passionate percussion" in the morning, the current "small fight" can definitely be called "extremely gentle".
After checking the situation of the gate, Tang Xiaoquan returned to the second floor, he did not go directly back to the crowd, but walked towards the end of the corridor.
He needed to find a quiet place and think carefully about his next plans.
After all, the materials of the urban management bureau are extremely limited, especially in terms of water sources, and no matter how much they save their own 8 people, the daily consumption is still considerable.
Therefore, if you don't come up with a way to get out of trouble, it will be inevitable to be thirsty and die.
Gradually slowed down the pace of his feet, and as the light continued to darken, Tang Xiaoquan's thinking gradually became clearer.
There is no doubt that if you want to get out of this urban management bureau, you must pass through the zombie army.
And to get through this, the current survivors have no more than two options.
First, face the enemy head-on;
Second, the curve saves the country;
As for facing the enemy head-on, Tang Xiaoquan didn't even think about it and threw it out of his mind.
What are you kidding, you must know that at least a hundred zombies have gathered outside the urban management bureau at this moment, not to mention anything else, these beasts are standing there motionless and let you cut them, and you are afraid that you will not be able to cut them in a few dozen minutes.
Then since Fa 1 doesn't work, you can only use Fa 2.
And the so-called "curve to save the country", to put it bluntly, is to use the method of attracting the attention of zombies to achieve the purpose of diverting them.
But Tang Xiaoquan changed his mind and thought about it again, and he and Lao Zhao and others observed the distribution of the terrain around the Urban Management Bureau this afternoon.
The place is surrounded by a fence, and I think the official design was originally "to protect the stability and safety of the law enforcement agencies".
But now, the fence, which was supposed to serve as a protective function, has become a nightmare for the survivors.
It seems that it is unlikely that you will be able to point and make a sound to achieve the purpose of transferring zombies.
Thinking of the crowded crowd of corpses gathered in the fence, Tang Xiaoquan's forehead couldn't help but tighten a little.
Law 1 doesn't work, law 2 doesn't work, what can I do now?
Tang Xiaoquan, who had nothing to do, moved his gaze to the firelight not far behind him, it was obvious that things had developed to this point, and the wisdom of everyone had to be brought into play.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaoquan no longer hesitated, turned around, and wanted to walk towards his companion.
But before he could take a step, he faintly heard a strange noise at the end of the darkness.......
