Chapter 42: Hope for the Future
Back in the base, Meng Soul asked Qian Duoduo to treat three men, there are not many people who can stick to their hearts and keep not doing evil in the end of the world, since they have met, they must be given good treatment, four women were handed over to Li Ke, and the women's team established by Li Ke is also an indispensable force in the base, although women are a vulnerable group in the last days, but women are more adaptable to the environment and more tenacious than men. In fact, the women in the base are very content, although the standard of living is not comparable with the pre-apocalyptic times, but they are used to seeing men who are prone to violence against them, and they have experienced the days when they were hungry and full of food outside, and they may even be killed and eaten, and it is like heaven in the base.
No one in the base can insult them at will or even directly use them as punching bags, the members of the war search team will change their ways to please them, bring back some things from the outside and give them them, although they also have to do some dirty work, and even learn to shoot, fight, drive, follow out to carry or fight, but they live more self-consciously, not only can they rely on a certain man, waiting for him to give a little food, for that mouthful of food in exchange for endless humiliation, they are also the most supportive of Meng Soul's group of people, It is only here that they feel like they are alive as individuals.
Li Ke has moved over to live with Meng Soul, after a warm storage, Li Ke saw the key on Meng Soul's neck, Li Ke had seen this chain before, and always thought it was a necklace, but today he saw that it was a key, and asked Meng Soul very strangely, what is this? Meng Soul held the key in the palm of his hand: "This is the key to my door, this is also the last sustenance in my heart, this key carries all my hopes, I hope to destroy all the zombies, and then return to my home where I have lived for more than 20 years." Li Ke gently took Meng Soul's head and put it on his chest, and gently stroked Meng Soul's hair with his hand: "I believe you will definitely do it, one day I will follow you and take my mother back to start a new life!" ”
Recently, every time I go out, I can bring back a lot of survivors, and I fed a group of vicious and cannibalistic zombies directly, and received almost a hundred people, of which women accounted for 6 percent, most of the men died on the way out to search for supplies, cannibalism has always been the bottom line of Meng Soul, this damn doomsday killing people is nothing, Meng Soul is not a police officer and can't manage a lot, but cannibalism is different, as long as you are willing to go out and fight with zombies, you may not be able to get food, some people guard a lot of food just to eat some meat to kill people and eat, This is unforgivable for Meng Soul.
There are more people who need more daily necessities, Meng Soul thought of the town with seeds, the zombies in the town were basically cleaned up, but last time I moved back some daily necessities, and I only moved building materials a few times later, so many shops and residential buildings were not searched, and now everything is missing, toilet paper, toiletries, tobacco and alcohol department stores are all in-demand items.
Twenty people were left to guard the base, and the rest of the people were dispatched, and thirty heavy trucks lined up towards the town.
"Bang!" The closed door of the house was slammed open, and several members of the search team rushed in with guns, and walked out after some inspection: "Safe! No zombies! Immediately after that, several men and women rushed in, bags of toilet paper, sanitary napkins, clothes, bed sheets and bedding, all kinds of miscellaneous tools, as long as they seemed useful, all were packed and moved out, bags of rice and bacon, a bed of cotton wool and bedding, a bag of clothes, and a piece of miscellaneous tools were moved out, and the house was swept away in ten minutes.
Meng Soul walked and stopped on the only street in the town, watching the survivors move in and out like locusts, watching the battle team clean up the scattered zombies, and then continued to smash open the roller shutters and wooden doors, and then another group of people moved all the things in the house clean, walking and stopping, Meng Soul walked to a mottled step and sat down, raised his head, a huge locust tree stood, the sun shone down through the leaves, forming a mottled shadow on the ground, I don't know why Meng Soul suddenly panicked in his heart, Looking at the men and women happily carrying them, the voices of joy hovered over the empty town, this should be the first time they showed happy smiles after the apocalypse, and Meng Soul didn't know why he couldn't be happy at all.
Patting his buttocks, Meng Soul stood up and continued to walk forward, past the white bones scattered all over the place, the corpses that had not yet decomposed slowly walked forward, passing by an elderly activity center, which was actually a mahjong parlor, the mahjong hall was not a big place, there were 4 mahjong machines, and now two fell to the ground, the mahjong was scattered on the ground, the stools that were turned over, the bones that were gnawed and the dark red bloodstains, all showed the chaotic state at that time.
Looking up at the sky, there were no clouds, and the bright sunlight projected its light and heat on this land, but the bright sunlight could not dispel the gloom that swirled in Meng Soul's heart.
Continue to walk forward, after a period of uphill Meng Soul saw a two-story building, the whole building is concave, the electric retractable door at the door has been knocked down and lying flat on the side, the retractable room of the electric retractable door on the left side is written with brown porcelain, there are two rows of golden stickers protruding on it, XXX Town General Hospital, Maternal and Child Health Hospital, the palm of the hand is stained with dusty fonts, Meng Soul walked in, an ambulance at the gate rolled over on its side on the ground, the door behind the ambulance has been opened, and a zombie is tied to a special bed on an ambulance, Smelling the smell of Meng Soul, the zombie made a ho-ho sound, the mountain knife in Meng Soul's hand was gently sent, and the black blood beads on the tip of the knife were shaken, and Meng Soul took out a flashlight and walked into the town hospital.
The white flashlight shook in the hospital, folders all over the floor, medical records, overturned beds on wheels at the door of the ward, discarded infusion sets at will, white coats stained with reddish-brown bloodstains, and dark red blood stains everywhere, as well as gnawed bones, Meng Soul's military boots stepped on the ground, and the sound echoed in the silent hospital, walking forward, two huge words appeared under the light of Meng Soul's flashlight "Obstetrics", Meng Soul's heart shook suddenly.
Pushing open the door of the obstetric department where the glass had been shattered, the military boots made a dull cracking sound when they stepped on the glass, and walked forward, a sign hanging obliquely on the wall indicated that this was a ward, pushing open the door with a small bloody handprint, everything in front of him made Meng Soul's hard heart as hard as iron that had been tempered by the last days shatter at once, there were six hospital beds in the room, and there were many deer, ponies, smiling little suns on the walls around them, and the bones on the hospital bed full of blood stains, which could be seen from the shape of the bones, A mother hugged her child tightly after the outbreak of the apocalyptic virus, only half of the small skeleton in her arms remained, an arm did not know where it had been left, a small skull fell on the pillow, and the black hole eyes stared at the roof quietly, the life of this little life before it began came to an abrupt end, looking at the small skeletons scattered around the torn apart, Meng Soul's depressed mood from the beginning broke out, kicked open the door, and Meng Soul ran out of the hospital like crazy.
"Ah!!!h At the entrance of the hospital, Meng Soul knelt on the ground and let out a wounded lone wolf-like cry, tears fell like rain from the corners of his eyes, those small corpses and bones crossed Meng Soul's eyes like a movie, desperately struggling after the end began, men and women who were made into bacon by cannibals, used as playthings by some tyrannical men, women who played until their eyes were empty and their spirits collapsed, people who were fed zombies by Meng Soul himself, scenes appeared in front of Meng Soul, Meng Soul was also an ordinary person, an ordinary otaku who could no longer be ordinary before the end of the world, he had no heroic dreams, Without the idea of saving the world, he wants to keep his one-third of an acre, just like living in this last world, he will also be tired, injured, and painful, but he is the leader of this base, he can't show his weakness to others, the end doesn't believe in tears, your weakness can only be the prelude to your death.
Hearing Meng Soul's wolf howl, Li Ming was the first to run up, followed by Instructor Ling and Li Ke and others followed closely, looking at Meng Soul kneeling on the ground and crying like rain, Instructor Ling immediately pulled Zhang Jun and others back to stop the survivors who followed, Li Ke stepped forward and looked at Meng Soul who was in tears, she didn't know why Meng Soul was crying, and she didn't know how to comfort this man who usually looked wise, cold, and strong, Li Ming ran into the hospital and walked out with a small corpse in his arms, Li Ke understood at once, Tears couldn't help falling, she immediately understood the fragility of this man's heart, he is also a person, so many people's lives are in charge of him, so much pressure is pressed on him, he also needs comfort, he also needs to vent, she walked over and hugged Meng Soul's head and put it on her chest, and gently stroked the top of Meng Soul's head with her other hand.
"Brother Meng, look at the second floor!" Li Ming's voice suddenly sounded, Meng Soul raised his head and looked at the second floor, the window of the innermost house on the second floor had been opened, and a white coat was swaying in the window, Meng Soul wiped away his tears and quickly got up, pulling out a gun in his hand: "Li Ke, Li Ming, Wang Yangming follow me!" ”
A few people quickly went up to the second floor, in the innermost room outside the mountain-like hospital bed blocked the corridor to death, a few gnawed rotten corpses lying on the ground near the bed, Meng Soul and several people quickly cleaned up the bed, ten minutes later, two closed doors appeared in front of him, Meng Soul pushed the door, the door was locked from the inside, knocked on the door: "We are here to save you!" Open the door! After waiting for a few minutes for the door to be opened, a yellow-faced and thin woman appeared behind the door, looking at several people in military uniforms, the woman suddenly cried: "Are you the government's rescue team?" "Don't cry yet, let's count it, how many people do you have here?" Meng Soul asked.
This woman is a nurse in the hospital, this hospital is not only a hospital and a maternal and child health hospital, but also the function of a children's welfare home, she is the nurse who manages the welfare home, after the disaster, she is also panicked like ordinary people, but she did not leave the class she managed, there are ten children in the class, the oldest is eleven years old, the youngest is six years old, she took the children to this storage warehouse, the beds outside are piled up by the male nurses of the hospital, it seems that the corpses belong to the male nurses, There are a large number of supplies and glucose injections stored here, and it is by relying on these things that she and the children have survived until now, just now when she heard Meng Soul's wolf-like cry outside, she sent a signal for help, pushed the door and walked in, ten hungry children who were basically not human looked at Meng Soul, there was no fear in their big eyes, Meng Soul looked at the children and smiled......
