Chapter 25: The Doctor
In the dark, Zhao Qiang woke up faintly. Where is this? How did I end up here? In the dark, Zhao Qiang couldn't tell where he was now, but he remembered that when he fainted, it was on the platform on the top floor, but now the touch coming from under him was obviously a bed, and he was still covered with a quilt.
Struggling to get out of bed, there was a feeling of pressure in my chest. After touching his chest carefully, Zhao Qiang found that the wound on his chest had been bandaged.
"As a doctor, I advise you to stay out of motion now." The voice of a strange woman came from the darkness.
Zhao Qiang was taken aback, but quickly calmed down. Since he rescued me and bandaged my wounds, the other party should have no malicious intent. Zhao Qiang said: "I'm fine, thank you." ”
The voice in the darkness said urgently: "Hurry up and lie down, your injury is an open pneumothorax, two broken ribs, I only gave you a simple treatment, your current situation must not move!" ”
"Thank you." Zhao Qiang knew that no matter how strong his body's recovery ability was, it would be impossible for the ribs pierced into his lungs to return to their original state on their own, and without this woman, he would really die.
In the darkness, a candle lit up. With the help of the beating candlelight, Zhao Qiang finally saw the woman who claimed to be a doctor. It was a haggard woman, but she never looked more than 30 years old.
The doctor set the candle on the table beside him, sat back in his chair, and said, "I should thank you, you saved me!" ”
"Me? I saved you? Zhao Qiang was a little puzzled, in his impression, he had never seen the woman in front of him.
"Yes, you saved me." The woman nodded and began to tell the story that Zhao Qiang didn't know.
The woman was a doctor at a large hospital in the neighborhood and lived in the neighborhood. When the disaster struck, she was resting at home after a major operation. She was awakened by the sound of gunfire from the rescue team, and after figuring out what had happened, she retreated with the rescue team. Everyone didn't run far before they were blocked by countless zombies under this office building, and in desperation, everyone had to venture into this building.
Through the elevator, the crowd fled to the roof. Soon, the power supply was cut off, the radio communication was also cut off, and everyone originally planned to break out, but countless zombies blocked the door, making the breakout an act of suicide. In desperation, the few people who survived had to block the staircase that was the only one that could be entered and exited, and began to wait indefinitely.
"Do you know these people who saved you? Did they only find you one survivor. Zhao Qiang asked, in his opinion, these people must have some kind of connection with the person who rescued his wife.
The woman shook her head and said, "I don't know them very well. There used to be a girl named Pensa who was with us, but then everyone was broken up, and I don't know about the rest. ”
Finally hearing the news about his wife, Zhao Qiang suddenly became nervous and asked, "What happened later?" ”
"Later, I really didn't know, there were too many monsters, and a few of us lost contact with the big army, and then we got here."
"What about the girl named Pensa? Isn't she with you? ”
"No, she was with the army at that time, and I only learned about her when I heard from the company commander later."
Hearing that his wife was with the army, the stone in Zhao Qiang's heart suddenly fell halfway, and his wife's safety should be guaranteed.
"Can you tell me what's going on with that monster?" Zhao Qiang, who was relieved, remembered the terrifying mutated zombie.
"I don't know. This morning, the monster appeared out of nowhere. The company commander told me to hide in the room and not come out, so I didn't come out until I finally heard no movement outside. The woman's voice was filled with fear.
Captain? Those people are really military men. Zhao Qiang thought about it and motioned for the other party to continue.
The woman continued: "When I came out, I found that everyone was dead. Then I heard an explosion......"
"And then you found me, didn't you?" Zhao Qiang took over the topic of women.
"Yes." The woman nodded and said, "I found out that the monster was dead, and then I found out that you were still alive, and you will know everything in the future." ”
"My name is Zhao Qiang, it's a pleasure to meet you." With that, Zhao Qiang sat up again and stretched out his right hand towards the woman.
"My name is Mei Qiu, and I'm very ...... Yes! Why are you up again, I said your injuries can't move! Doctor Mei Qiu exclaimed.
"I'm fine." Zhao Qiang smiled slightly and got off the bed.
"This can't be, you're so badly hurt! It's dangerous for you to move around like this! Mei Qiu's expression became serious, she didn't want her patient to die because of her stubbornness.
"Maybe you don't know it yet, but our bodies are not the same as they used to be." Zhao Qiang walked in front of Mei Qiu with a smile and said, "I don't know why, our recovery speed has far exceeded before. As he spoke, he tore off the gauze on his body.
In the exclamation, Mei Qiu was surprised to find that the wound she had created on Zhao Qiang's body in order to reset the ribs had completely healed, leaving only a faint scar. "It can't be!" Mei Qiu raised her voice again, "No one can recover so quickly!" ”
Zhao Qiang smiled, turned around and found his clothes. After getting dressed, Zhao Qiang said, "Trust your own eyes, Doctor Meiqiu." As a doctor, you will work with us in the future to uncover the secrets of our body's changes. Zhao Qiang extended an olive branch to Mei Qiu, he was going to find his wife, it was impossible to take Mei Qiu on the road together, the best way was to hand her over to Wei Tao.
"Wait, you're talking about you? Anyone else? Mei Qiu noticed that Zhao Qiang had been saying "we" instead of "me".
"That's right, it's us, and a few more survivors are in a supermarket not far from here, and I'm sure they'll be happy to see you." Zhao Qiang explained, seeing a trace of hesitation flashing in Mei Qiu's eyes, he added: "Don't worry, most of them are survivors like you, we have water, food, you can even take a hot bath, and there is a very powerful guy who can provide you with enough protection." ”
"You mean you?" Mei Qiu obviously misunderstood what Zhao Qiang meant, and looked Zhao Qiang up and down.
"No, that person is my master, and I'm nothing compared to him." Zhao Qiang shook his head and said.
"But there are monsters everywhere outside, and we can't get out." Mei Qiu was a little desperate, for her, those zombies outside were definitely not something that Zhao Qiang could deal with alone.
Zhao Qiang smiled: "Hehe, have you forgotten, how did I get in?" By the way, where's my gun? ”
"I don't know, it's still on the roof." Mei Qiu obviously didn't believe that Zhao Qiang could kill from here single-handedly, and said, "It's too dangerous outside, we can't get out." ”
"Who says I can't get out? Since I can come in, I can also go out. Zhao Qiang said affirmatively.
"You're going out alone? Please, don't leave me here alone, okay? Mei Qiu was frightened by the experience of the day, and she thought that Zhao Qiang was going to leave herself behind and escape alone.
"Huh." Zhao Qiang smiled, reached out and patted Mei Qiu's shoulder, and said, "Trust me, I'll come back to pick you up soon, okay?" Obediently, wait for me here. ”
