Chapter 42: Injuries
Zhao Zhixuan's gaze was deep, and he didn't say anything, but ran a few steps along, ignoring Jiang Xi's exclamation, and hugged her horizontally.
After running forward for dozens of meters, he stepped on the front hood of the abandoned car with an arrow step, and then climbed onto the second-floor balcony of the building next to him, and jumped up to a building protruding from it.
The unobstructed height made Jiang Ji swallow the words "what are you going to do" raw.
In order to prevent herself from falling, she also cooperated very well to grab Zhao Zhixuan's neck and hold her body tightly against him.
This action undoubtedly pleased Zhao Zhixuan and made this impatient man show a rare smile.
After a few ups and downs, they went up to the top floor of a mall.
At this moment, Hu Chun and the others are already waiting here.
Zuo Tianyou is breaking free from a poster painting, his possession skill is very interesting, every time he possesses a humanoid object, it is very fast, but it is extremely difficult to get out of the possession state. Just like now, he is squeezing himself out little by little, similar to the appearance of a silkworm chrysalis peeling.
As long as there is a part of his body in the painting, he has no weight.
To prevent the poster from being blown away, Qin Meifei helped him press the corner of the poster.
Although she helped out, Concubine Qin Mei looked careless, and when she looked at her eyes carefully, they were red and very sad.
She kept staring blankly at the door of the top floor, hoping that someone would run out of there.
Zuo Tianyou was covered in sweat, and he was inevitably angry: "Can't you pull me?" β
It happened that Zhao Zhixuan took Jiang Xi to fall from the sky, and the little girl jumped up busily, rushed over, and hugged Jiang Xi heavily.
"Sister, I thought you were dead." She cried out loud.
This strong emotion made Jiang Xi a little overwhelmed.
Because of her health, she was admonished to control her emotions from an early age. When she was young, she occasionally lost her temper, but the consequences were that she suffered a lot, and in order to avoid premature death from myocardial infarction, she spontaneously controlled her joy and sorrow. Later, his body gradually became stronger, and he was not too weak and couldn't help it, but the habit had been formed, and he was stunned to have less fireworks than other peers.
So much so that when I saw the little girl holding herself and jumping and jumping, I had an incredible feeling.
Although this feeling is very strange, Jiang Xi's heart is warm, and she subconsciously organizes comforting words: "It's okay... Isn't that okay with me? ... You don't have to worry..."
However, without waiting for her to pat the other party's shoulder, Qin Meifei suddenly remembered something, let go of her at once, jumped to the side of others, and asked nervously and concernedly, "Brother Zhao, are you okay?" Why is it still bleeding? Does it hurt? β
All that was left for Jiang Xi was a few suspicious strings of shiny liquid on his chest.
Zuo Tianyou couldn't help laughing: "She is a heavy color and light friend!" Then he cried out in horror, "Help, come and save me!" β
Jiang Xi smiled helplessly, stepped on the poster that was about to be blown away by the wind, and stretched out his hand to pull Zuo Tianyou out of the painting.
At this time, Hu Chun beckoned to everyone: "I think something is wrong. β
Several people ran to the edge of the balcony together. Smoke billowed from the street opposite.
Apparently there was a second explosion in their bus, and the whole body burned.
And the initiator is on the side.
It was also bloodied by the scattered glass, but the tentacles protruding from its body were unaffected, and scattered freely around.
"What is this?" Zuo Tianyou screamed, and suddenly found that his voice was too loud, and subconsciously covered his mouth.
Let's say it's a zombie, it has a lot of weird tentacles on it.
Let's say it's mutated, it also retains the characteristics of a zombie - blind, foraging by smell and sound.
"This one seems to be the mutant in Pearl Square." Jiang Ji frowned and said, "It has an identical birthmark on its back. β
It was a mark when I was a human being, that is, I became a zombie, although the epidermis is dry and the melanin is gradually fading, causing the color of the birthmark to fade, but the outline of the original traces is still remaining.
Hu Chun showed a disgusting expression: "I don't know who ate whom, and made it look like this." β
It's like someone gave them an inferior splicing operation, splicing the octopus tentacles onto the mutant zombies' bodies. Because of the distance, it is not particularly disgusting at first glance.
"I can imagine what happened after we left." Jiang Ji said.
The octopus fell from a high altitude and did not completely fall to its death, in order to heal its wounds, it instinctively sought food, and it happened to be in the realm of mutated zombies. After the group ran away, the mutant zombies could only take their anger on the undead octopus. The octopus avoided death, and simply cut off its wrist, changing its way of survival, and since then the tentacles have replaced the body and parasitized on the mutant zombies.
Hu Chun asked suspiciously, "But how did it come here?" β
If it was really the mutated zombie in Pearl Square, it would generally not be too far away from the central waterhole.
Could it be that after merging with an octopus, this habit has changed?
"Are you alright?" Jiang Xi noticed that something was wrong with Hu Chun and suddenly asked.
Hu Chun was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that this was asking himself.
He ripped open one of his trouser legs, and when he was on the bus, the octopus zombie attacked him, tearing off a chunk of flesh from his thigh. If this kind of injury had happened to someone else, he would have fainted a long time ago. Thanks to him, he talked and laughed freely for a long time.
"It's fine." Seeing Jiang Xi's worried expression, he grinned and comforted him in turn, "I was injured more seriously than this before." No one can die. β
He seemed to have used something to stop the bleeding, and the wound had coagulated. But the trouser leg still looks like a fleshy one, and you can see the bones inside.
This is more scary than Zhao Zhixuan's shoulders.
Thinking that he had been injured like this, he still protected Concubine Qin Mei safe and sound.
This man is more reliable than expected.
Jiang Xi took out painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs and distributed them to the injured two, and found a pack of clean bandages in the backpack she carried with herβthis was also exchanged by Bai Xuan from the toolbox, and squatted down against the railing wall to bandage Hu Chun.
Although she is not as professional as Bai Xuan, she has done relevant training before, and she can barely remember some of the essentials of bandaging external injuries.
Her movements were not light, and Hu Chun's muscles could be felt shaking during the bandaging process, but he didn't cry out for pain.
After doing all this, she went to see Zhao Zhixuan.
Qin Meifei had the intention to behave, but when she really saw the bloody wound, it was difficult for her to do it. Zhao Zixuan's injury was on his arm, and he was not easy to deal with himself, so Jiang Xi had to take over and let the wound bleed, not to mention excessive blood loss, but to say that the wound was infected and inflamed, and it was not easy to play around.
She wiped the blood beads that reappeared on Zhao Zhixuan's shoulders and said, "Actually, I have a not very good guess. β
"What do you mean by a not-so-good guess?" Zuo Tianyou saw that Concubine Qin Mei was useless, so he hurriedly squeezed her aside and asked hurriedly.
It's bad enough that they have lost the means of transportation they have so hard to find, but is there anything worse?
"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid this thing has its sights on us."
"How?" Hu Chun and Zhao Zhixuan glanced at each other.
They have encountered many strange things in the past, and they are much more receptive than the average person.
Only Zuo Tianyou laughed and said, "You mean that thing holds a grudge?" How can it be? β
But paying attention to everyone's eyes, he stopped laughing and showed an incredible expression: "Won't it?" β
