Chapter 20: One More Sick Number
On January 19th, we finally arrived in Linjiang City, which is the provincial capital Yutian City to the east. We seemed to be close to our destination, but the number of zombies here was terrifying, and we were chased by hundreds of zombies not long after we entered the city. Then he encountered the mutant dog, and under Ao Xiang's spear and Xiao Qi's divine knife, the mutant dog was easily solved.
There was no time to ink, the pile of zombies behind had already chased over, I pulled the trembling Ao Xiang and hurriedly ran into the alley, Xiaofan took Xiaoyu, and the remaining two could take care of themselves. Not daring to take the avenue again, we walked quickly along the alleyway, turning left and right, I don't know how long we ran, we rushed to the side of the street again. I looked out, haha! The street is so clean! Although there is also garbage and debris all over the ground, there are no zombies, and there are no mutant dogs or anything like that, okay!
I took advantage of this effort to take a look at everyone, Xiao Qi was the same as Ao Xiang, full of sweat, but Xiao Qi should be sick, and the latter was scared. Hu Xinyu also looked panicked, without Xiao Fan pulling her, it is estimated that she would have died a long time ago. Dong Shuhe's face turned pale, and he kept his lips closed.
I rubbed my right rib fork and looked across the street, and at a glance I saw a shop, and the sign was supposed to be a clothing store. "Go there!"
We ran over quickly. The door of the clothing store is open, go straight in. It's a little dark inside, but no zombies were found.
I closed the door with my hand, and then I said: "Xiaoyu and Ao Xiang go to rest, Xiao Qi, you check if there is any danger here, and by the way, see if there is a back door." Let's find something to block the doors and windows. "This store is not too big, and you can basically see the whole space at a glance, but there is inevitably some danger hiding behind the shelves, which is not uncommon in movies.
"Okay, Brother Shi!" Xiao Fan answered, and then began to move tables, chairs, shelves and the like. I glanced at Dong Shuhe again, he hesitated, nodded at me, and then the three of us started moving things.
After we blocked the doors and windows, Xiao Qi also walked back, and I asked, "Is it dangerous?" β
Shake oneβs head.
"Alright, you can get some rest!" Xiao Qi is still feverish, and he has been bumpy all the way, even if the system is good, it needs to rest, and I can't really use others as a free skill package.
I also found a place to sit down and looked at the people in the room, this time it's good, the injured and sick, the panicked and the soft, if we keep encountering such a large group of zombies or mutant dogs, I really don't know how long we can walk.
No one spoke, everyone was tired enough. After resting for a while, I no longer felt the pain in my ribs, stood up, patted my buttocks, and said to everyone, "Okay, let's pick two clothes to change into, and then let's go." β
Everyone agreed, after all, Xiao Qi was still having a fever, so he had to quickly find some medicine for him, or find a store to get some food and water. Xiaoyu also recovered, I walked to a corner, then moved the two shelves, and then said to her, "Xiaoyu, you go inside and change!" β
Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, took a piece of clothing from the shelf, and quickly ran into the 'dressing room' I built.
"Everyone, look outside and change your clothes! I'll hit whoever turns around! I said jokingly. After all, Xiaoyu is a girl, maybe she is embarrassed to make a little movement, I quietly glanced back, the shelves are too tight...... Ay~!
Everyone found a piece of clothing, and then changed their hands and feet. The original clothes were already smelling of all kinds of sweat and dirt, and although there was no place to shower, it was good to change to a dry one. The dirty laundry was all thrown over the counter.
Flutter ~~~~~~!
Before my brain could react, my ass 'spit out' a fairy breath...... The first person to be killed was Ao Xiang next to me, he frowned, suddenly jumped away from me, and then looked at me with a strange face, you won't be shaking at this moment! Then Xiao Fan, then Dong Shuhe, and finally Xiao Qi suddenly bent down with a painful face. Are you sick or are you spitting on me!
As for it! Don't you just fart! I rub the class!
Xiaoyu changed her clothes, and then walked out with the dirty one before, with a half-sleeved top and jeans, this little girl is really 'good', with a face and a figure, it's really good......
"What does it smell, it stinks...... "Xiaoyu suddenly covered her little nose after approaching us, and said in a coquettish voice.
It's annoying...... I hurriedly said, "Okay, okay! It's time for us to go! β
"Wait a minute, Brother Shi," Xiao Fan said, "I'll go to the toilet." β
"Big and small?"
"Small"
I pointed to the back of the shelves and said, "That's it, no one can see you, hurry up!" β
Xiao Fan hurriedly ran over, and after a while, the sound of a bang came out, and Xiaoyu's face turned red when he heard it. I didn't care about this, and then I moved the debris blocking the door with Dong Shuhe.
When Xiaofan came out, we set off again. The street is relatively secluded, and we walked in search of supermarkets and pharmacies. After walking for a while, I saw a sign of tobacco and alcohol ** from a distance, and it was it.
We walked briskly over, it was just a small shop, but the sparrows were small. There are a variety of expensive cigarettes on the counter, a variety of liquors next to it, and a variety of drinks on the shelves and freezers. I directly took two bottles of mineral water, handed them to Xiao Qi, and said, "Hurry up, drink all these two bottles." "I don't know how it works, but I remember that if I have a cold and fever, I need to drink more water.
Xiao Qi glanced at me, then took the water and unscrewed it and drank it. I said to the others, "Do it yourself!" I'm in for a treat! Ha ha! β
"Cut~~~~" Xiaoyu and Xiaofan glanced at me together.
Everyone picked up a drink or mineral water and hurriedly replenished their bodies. Me too, I used to be able to go all day without food, but I couldn't go half a day without water. After a while, I poured two bottles of green tea. It's so cool~!!
When you relax, you naturally want to take a puff, and it's not a pity that there are so many good cigarettes on the counter. I took a package casually, then distributed it, handed one to Ao Xiang first, and said at the same time: "Come on, press God!" β
Ao Xiang looked at it and took it.
I handed it to Dong Shuhe next to me, he hesitated for a moment, then took it and said, "Thank you." β
I smiled slightly, didn't speak, and took it in my mouth. At this time, Xiao Fan said: "Brother Shi, bring me one!" β
I threw the whole pack to him and put a sign on the ground that said 'No Selling to Minors'. The rules are the rules, and it is my own business to comply with them, not to mention that Liu Xiaofan is 17 years old, I went to the tobacco shop more times than I went home when I was 16 years old.
They each lit the fire, Ao Xiang looked at me with a confused face, I said while gesturing: "Na, in this way, first put it in your mouth, then take a sip, then inhale, the silk ~~~~~~ exhale ~~~~~~~ it's all together, try it!" β
Ao Xiang nodded as if he didn't understand, and then twitched like me. "Silk ~~~~~~ cough cough! Cough! Cough! Ahem! β
"Hahaha!" His virtue made me and Xiaofan laugh. This scene reminds me of when I first learned to smoke, and it wasn't much better. However, I used to teach people to smoke in high school, and I haven't taught anyone to learn badly for many years, so I can't imagine that I can be a competent teacher again today.
"Choke, choke me! Ahem! Ahem, ahem! Ao Xiang's facial muscles twisted.
"Brother Ao Xiang, it's good to have two more mouthfuls, this thing hurts your body and lungs, but it can stop your heartache!" Xiao Fan took a puff of cigarette, looked out the window and said lightly.
I slapped him on the head and said, "Don't you think that's handsome?!" β
"Hey, hey, hey!" Xiao Fan smiled embarrassedly.
I looked at Ao Xiang and said: "Smoke, it's not a good thing, it's really what he said hurts the body and lungs, but if you live this kind of life, you may hang up one day, why don't you kill your soul." β
Ao Xiang didn't say anything, and took two more puffs, this time coughing a little lighter.
"And you have to be careful," I said, "don't bite your cigarette with your teeth and hold it with your lips when you smoke." Wet farts are not a good habit! β
"Well, that's a lot." Ao Xiang Road.
I said, "Of course, there are a lot of cigarettes in this place, one cigarette per person, and in the future, if one day there is only one cigarette left, everyone will take turns to smoke, and it will be too much for you to get wet." β
"It's disgusting." Xiaoyu waved her hand and fanned away the smoke in front of her.
I smiled and said, "Hey, when I was the poorest in high school, the seven of us only had a cigarette, and we couldn't go out to buy it during class hours, and then the seven boys hid in the toilet and smoked the other, and there was a kid who was specialized in wet fart, and he jumped two rounds directly, and finally left a tail for him." β
After listening to what I said, Ao Xiang also picked up the cigarette and looked at the cigarette fart himself. I didn't say anything more, but turned my head to look at Xiao Qi and asked, "How do you feel now?" β
Xiao Qi didn't react, but closed his eyes to recuperate, but I saw that his body was obviously swaying from side to side.
"This bad weather changes every day, and it is inevitable that Brother Qi will have a fever." Xiao Fan said.
I snorted: "Don't analyze blindly, you kid, if it's because of the change in the weather, then we all have a fever and he may not be fine." With his skills, do you think his physique will be weaker than ours? β
Xiao Fan thought about it, and then scratched his head embarrassedly.
At this time, Dong Shuhe walked behind the counter, and then came over with a towel from nowhere, and said, "Pour some water on the towel and put a compress on his head." β
I looked at him, maybe this person was not bad, and the behavior of the previous confrontation with me when he choked was actually a kind of human beings in the last days, which is understandable, so I did not execute him at that time. I saved his life in the car just now, and this kid knows something...... He looks much bigger than me, though.
"Well, thanks" I nodded, then took the towel, took a bottle of mineral water and poured it, wrung it out a little, and then asked Xiao Qi to sit on the chair inside the counter, folded the towel and put it on his head.
The drinks in the freezer are not cold, they may have been powered off, I wanted to try the light, I found a button in the corner of the wall, it should be the light tube above, press it, no response.
"The power is off?" Ao Xiang asked.
"Well, I guess it's been almost a month since the zombie outbreak, and it would be strange if the water and electricity were all in sufficient supply."
"It's harder to live...... Xiao Fan said helplessly.
There is no way to do this, water and electricity are indispensable things in human life, once it is cut off, it means that there is no running water again, and the night can only be spent in the dark, at most a candle is lit. In the last days, that's really deadly.
"Maybe it's just broken here, there may be somewhere else." I said, I suddenly remembered something and asked, "Ao Xiang, do you still have bullets?" β
Ao Xiang shook his head and said, "There are only five rounds left, and they were all shot just now." β
Xiao Fan frowned and said, "If only we could get a lot of guns." β
I gave him a blank look and said, "What are you doing with so many guns?" Do you want to use gunfire to attract zombies? β
Xiao Fan said: "But with a gun, we can better protect ourselves, if Brother Ao Xiang has more bullets, it's a pity, it's just that, and a ...... is wasted" Saying that, his voice became smaller and smaller, but it was not difficult to hear that there was a complaint.
Ao Xiang bowed his head and was silent. I said, "Come on, you think it's easy to shoot?" Everyone is a sharpshooter, Ao Xiang was still trembling just now, and they almost hit, which is really good. In the future, anyone who has guns and bullets will have to be given to him. β
"Meng's..."Ao Xiang said.
"Huh?"
"It's really deceitful... When I hit the dog just now..."Ao Xiang took a sharp puff of his cigarette after speaking, and then coughed twice.
I didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere in the store was a little awkward......
Oh!
A roar came, my heart tightened, and I hurriedly looked back, and a zombie appeared at the door of the store.
I won't be stupid in the face of hundreds of zombies now, let alone this one. Without a word, I mentioned stepping forward, clicked a knife, and directly cut off the zombie's neck.
"I can't stay here anymore, let Xiao Qi rest for a while, and we'll have to leave." I said casually, and then subconsciously probed out to take a look...... Paralyzed!!
From the west side of the street, countless zombies walked over, and the whole street was crowded, and the one just now was just the vanguard.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" I hurriedly greeted, then ran to the counter and shouted, "Little Qi, hurry!" Let's get out of here. "I wonder why we can run anywhere, do you guys take the navigation?!
When everyone saw that I was panicked, they hurriedly ran to the door and looked out, and they were all frightened. But Xiao Qi slowed down the pace. He turned his head slowly, his eyes slightly open, and looked at me blankly.
"I'm rubbing, isn't it more serious for you?!"
"Brother Shi, Brother Qi, hurry! The zombies are getting closer! β
I pulled Xiao Qi up, put one arm on his shoulder, and walked out quickly. However, although Xiao Qi was weak and weak, the Tang knife was still tightly grasped by him.
"What's wrong with Seventh Brother?" Xiaoyu asked.
I said, "He's getting sick, run!" β
We started running east again. Since I had to take care of Xiao Qi, I couldn't get up at all, so Dong Shuhe picked up Xiao Qi's other arm and carried it on his shoulder. I looked at him and didn't say anything. Of course, two people are much better than one, and our speed is slowly rising. Soon, the zombie group behind was thrown off by us.
The scorching sun shone on the earth, and a few crows flew in the sky from time to time. On the streets, all kinds of vehicles are parked in a haphazard manner, and all around are lifeless.
There are no zombies here, I put Xiao Qi in the back seat of a car and lie down, and then let Xiao Fan and Xiao Yu take care of him. The three of us went separately to find a car to drive.
Left one and one right, no one has a key, and I always watch those gods on TV pull out two wires and start the car, but I still haven't figured out which two are them, and now the car is updated is a common thing, so can it still work......
But it's not in vain, I found two bags of plastic roast chicken and ten roast cakes from a private car, I don't know if the owner is going to travel far away or what, anyway, it's cheap for me. I took the food to Xiaofan and said, "Help feed him some food, and you two can eat some too." β
Xiao Fan saw that the eyes of the roast chicken were glowing, and he nodded vigorously. I looked at Xiao Qi, who was lying motionless in the back seat, and asked, "How is he?" β
Xiaoyu said: "Little Seventh Brother has been having a fever, and it seems to be getting hotter and hotter. β
Grass! I flapped the roof of the car irritably, and then stopped and went to look for the car. It's a pity that I ran from the tobacco shop in a hurry just now, and I didn't take any water and cigarettes, or we can cool down Xiao Qi, and we can also take two puffs to relax our spirits.
"Shi Lei, Dong Shuhe, come over here!" It was Ao Xiang's voice.
I looked up and he was sitting in the driver's seat of an Iveco, his head sticking out of the window to greet us. I hurriedly ran over, and Dong Shuhe also arrived. When Ao Xiang saw us, he said: "This car is no problem, you can drive, and you are not afraid of crowding." But we'll have to move the cars in front of us out of the way. β
"Oh~Oh!" I said, then patted Dong Shuhe on the shoulder and said, "Walk." "He didn't ink either, so he got out of the car with me." Ao Xiang, let's move the car, you go and call Xiao Qi and them over first. β
"Okay" Ao Xiang got out of the car and walked back. Dong Shuhe and I began to move the car in front of us. Just push the steering wheel, although the speed is relatively slow, but it is not too difficult to free up a road to walk. By the time we finished moving, Ao Xiang and the others hadn't come over yet.
"Shi Lei, you are really powerful." Dong Shuhe said suddenly.
"Huh?" I didn't expect him to compliment me and asked, "It's nothing, you're not bad." β
"I'm not talking nonsense, you saved my life before, I really thank you, and then you can endure the pain and lead everyone to run like this. Not bad indeed! β
"Come on," I heard with a sour sound, "as long as you don't fight around." β
Dong Shuhe smiled and said, "Actually, I thought about it later, when you were in the bathing center, what you did was not wrong, including later in that restaurant...... I was ...... It was just ......"
"Stop, stop, the past will be mentioned, and everyone will be united."
Dong Shuhe didn't say anything anymore, just smiled slightly, but why did I look so uncomfortable. Why is this kid like he has changed his sex, just because I saved his life? Maybe he was quite sane and just lost control when he was in the restaurant...... Who can say for sure?
At this time, Ao Xiang came over with Xiao Qi on his back, and we hurriedly got into the car and let Xiao Qi lie on the middle row of seats. The car was big enough for all six of us to lie down, and it didn't feel cramped at all. Ao Xiang took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat. Xiao Fan said with palpitations: "Brother Ao Xiang, you can slow down, don't crash again." β
"Last time it was an accident," Ao Xiang said helplessly, .......
"Alright, let's go." I greeted. There are too many zombies in this area, so it's better to get out of here as soon as possible.
Ao Xiang started the car, and before he had taken a few steps, Xiao Fan suddenly said, "There are zombies!" β
I followed Xiao Fan's line of sight and looked out, and sure enough, two zombies came out of an alley in front of us on the right, although there were only two, I was really afraid that there would be a large army behind them! β¦β¦ No, why do these two look so weird.
"It looks like a human." Dong Shuhe sat in the co-pilot and said.
Ao Xiang drove the car close to the two 'zombies' and affirmed: "It's a living person." β
I opened the window and looked in, and saw that the two were a man and a woman, both covered in blood. The woman was lying on the man's back, as if she had fainted.
"Save ...... Life! β
This must be a human being, Ao Xiang stopped the car, I quickly ran down, and he and Dong Shuhe also got out of the car and followed.
When the man saw us coming, he seemed to suddenly relax, and he threw himself to the ground with a clatter, and there was no movement. Let's hurry up and check it out. "It's hopeless." Ao Xiang said affirmatively after checking it. I also saw the wound on the man's stomach, about the size of a fist, and as he fell to the ground, some 'parts' fell out of it, and the flesh was blurred. I really don't know how he ran with such a serious injury on his back with a woman, the human body is really full of potential......
Anyway, it's someone I don't know, so I don't feel inexplicably sad. Looking at the woman, I asked, "What about this?" β
Ao Xiang said: "She is still alive, she should just fainted, I don't know if she was injured by zombies." β
He's a big man, and it's really inconvenient to check a woman's body. I said, "Let's take it back to the car first, and let Xiaoyu help check it." Ao Xiang, you get into the driver's seat first, in case there is danger, we can leave immediately. β
Dong Shuhe and I carried the bloodied woman back to the car. Put it in the back aisle, I'm afraid that her blood will stain others, after all, we don't know what kind of blood this is, and we don't know if this woman will mutate, be careful to sail the boat of ten thousand years!
"Brother Xiaoshi, what's going on?" Hu Xinyu asked.
"I've met a survivor," I said, "just right, Xiaoyu, you check her to see if she's hurt." β
"yes, okay." Saying that, Xiaoyu came over and began to check. A few of us men will move forward, although it is the end of the world, the morality that should be there must be maintained~!
"Ao Xiang, let's wait here first, check the woman before leaving."
"Okay."
After a while, Xiaoyu shouted, "Brother Xiaoshi, it's okay." β
I turned around and walked over, and then took a look, yo, it's still a beauty, Xiaoyu wiped the blood on the woman's face during the examination, revealing a fair face, but she should be older than me.
"Have you checked them all? Didn't hurt at all? β
Xiaoyu affirmed: "Well, it's just that my knee hurts a little, and it looks like I fell." As she spoke, she rolled up the woman's trouser legs. I looked, well, the leg shape is good.
"Brother Shi, are you looking at the injury?" Xiao Fan squeezed over from me like a ghost and said.
I quickly focused my eyes on my knees and patted Xiaofan's head casually. said: "Well, it did fall. β
"Get her to her seat and lie down, let's squeeze forward." I said. Hearing this, Xiaofan and Xiaoyu carried the woman to the back seat on the left together. This time, it's good, there are two sick numbers in the car.
"Let's go, Ao Xiang, drive slowly." I instructed.
Ao Xiang nodded and started the car. As soon as I looked at the road in front of me, I guess I couldn't drive as fast as I could, and there were more and more vehicles parked indiscriminately, and we had to go down from time to time to move the car before we could pass it. After driving for less than 500 meters, we had already moved the car three times, and no, we were stopped again, walking.
When I, Dong Shuhe, and Ao Xiang came back from moving the car again, Xiaoyu said to us: "She's awake, she's awake." β
I hurried over to see that the woman was still lying in her seat, and her mouth was humming. I'm annoyed with this kind of humming, so I'll wake up when I should wake up. Do you want to give her two mouths......
"Sister, sister! Wake up! Xiaoyu shouted, while a pair of tender hands gently pushed the woman's arm.
"Uh......"
This movement, how do you want to mutate?
"Husband......" But the woman snorted twice, and there was no movement. As soon as I heard that this guy was okay, I was still in a coma and thought about my husband, it seems that the relationship between the two is very good. But the one who died just now won't be her husband, then when she wakes up and knows that this matter will be over, don't get me a second 'black-hearted girl'."
I didn't wait any longer, so I went back to the front seat and sat down. I've been running all morning, and I've never completely relaxed, even now, but I can take a break.
For me Shi Lei, all this is real, not a fragment from a movie novel, the male protagonist tossed for several days without sleeping. There was still the pain left from the crash before, but I was mentally tense this time, so I didn't feel too much, and once I was completely relaxed, the pain was fatal.
Suddenly, the car stopped. Without waiting for me to ask, Ao Xiang said, "Shi Lei, there is a store here, let's go get something to eat." β
The grinding of meat on my ribs is almost gone. When I turned my head, I saw that there was a convenience store on the side of the road, which was neither large nor small, and it was time to get something to eat. After tossing for a long time, he drank some water, and said that Xiao Qi was also in urgent need of water now.
At this time, Xiaoyu said: "I stayed to take care of Seventh Brother and this sister." β
Xiao Fan said: "I'll stay here with you." β
I looked at them and said, "Okay, let's go in, get the food back, and eat it in the car." β
"Hmm."
After saying that, I got off with Ao Xiang and Dong Shuhe.
When I entered the convenience store, I didn't find any zombies, but I saw a few backpacks on the shelf in the corner, just right! I walked over and picked up two of them and threw them to Ao Xiang and Dong Shuhe respectively, and then the three of them began to 'plunder wildly'. The goods here are mostly food and drink, and it's a bit messy,
I took a bag, first walked to the cigarette ** next to the cash register, and put the whole whole good cigarette into the bag, this thing smokes one less one, maybe I can use cigarettes to exchange something with people in Yutian City in the future! I know how to save space, and the cigarettes are neatly put into the bag, so that there are a total of 12 cigarettes, hahaha! This time, I don't have to worry about running out of cigarettes. Leave the backpack at the door, then go get another one and start filling it with water. There were seven or eight bags on the shelves, enough for us to loot here.
With a sweep of my eyes, I saw the stationery, and hurriedly went over to get a few pens, which were almost out of water before, and I didn't have to write a diary without a pen. By the way, I also took a few towels and used them for Xiao Qi's head in a while.
The three of them filled all the backpacks, and I grabbed another bag of toilet paper, I am a tummy master, and I must have toilet paper. Qi is alive, anti-bag is gone!
