Chapter 21: Peng Miao
After running around Linjiang City all morning, he rescued an unconscious woman, and the number of personnel became seven. We found a convenience store, plundered it, and brought back to the car enough food and water for the rest of us.
Once in the car, we threw all the bags in the back and started distributing the food. I took two bottles of water first, came to Xiao Qi's side, raised his head, and gave him a small sip. He was still a little conscious, but his head was hot enough. I'm in the eyes and anxious in my heart.
Along the way, if it weren't for Xiao Qi, I would definitely not be so intact. So I treat him as my brother, and now I have a fever like this, how can I not be in a hurry.
"Okay, pounce on the country, and the young year will also rush to Kedianang (Xiaoyu, Brother Shi, you two should also hurry up and eat some)" Xiao Fan held a sausage in one hand and a hamburger in the other, his mouth was already stuffed, and he couldn't say anything about it. Xiaoyu has been focusing on taking care of the woman since we came back, and she doesn't really want to eat.
It's not a way to be in a hurry, after all, everyone also needs to replenish their physical strength, who knows if they have the next meal, or when they will be able to eat the next meal, and now they have the opportunity to quickly replenish their energy.
I grabbed a Snickers bar and ate it in a few bites. Looking at the weak and weak Xiao Qi, I felt confused for a while. Even his body would become like this because of the fever, which I didn't expect, and this head is almost ready to spread eggs. If it were me, I guess I would have been lying down a long time ago, and I would definitely not be able to hold him for so long.
"Xiaoyu, go get something to eat!" I said. Maybe it's because the team is all men, Hu Xinyu finally saw a woman, so she was naturally very interested, but the woman just snorted twice, and then there was no movement, so you can't just let Xiaoyu guard it like this.
"Brother Shi, I'm not hungry."
"You have to eat if you're not hungry! Xiao Fan, get her a hamburger. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Fan ate the food in his hand in two or three bites, then picked up a bag, walked to Xiao Yu's side, took out a bunch of food stuffed for Xiao Yu from it, and said at the same time: "Hurry up and eat, Brother Qi and this sister will be fine, don't burn yourself, okay?" ”
Xiaoyu looked at him, then nodded, picked up the food and started eating. I rub, or my peers talk well, I have a generation gap...... Or maybe Xiaofan is too charming...... Ay!
"Officer Ao" Dong Shuhe asked while eating, "Do you know anything about the streets of this city?" ”
Ao Xiang shook his head and said, "My family is in Yutian City, and after going to the police academy, I was directly assigned to Shanfeng, and I walked here by car, but I am not familiar with it." ”
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Dong Shuhe said: "We ran for so long in the morning, I don't know where we went. ”
I think so. At this time, Xiao Fan said: "Just go east." ”
Dong Shuhe shook his hand: "If you know the distribution of the streets here, it will be conducive to our escape, otherwise it will be very dangerous to walk around like this!" In addition, if there is a map, we can also know which road is wider and easier to walk, and we can find the pharmacy more quickly and get some medicine for this little seventh brother. ”
This kid is fickle enough, and he will call us brothers and sisters after a trip. However, in these days when death will come, it may be as simple as establishing friendship, and whether it is friend or foe is almost instantaneous.
The crowd was silent, he wasn't provoking, but it was indeed a problem. Although we know the general direction, but there are many buildings in the city, and the streets are countless, I don't know where to go, we will encounter hordes of zombies, if we are surrounded by zombies like before, then we will abandon the car and run away. I don't expect this unmodified vehicle to run over hordes of zombies.
"Let's take one step at a time," I said, "Let's find a pharmacy to get some fever medicine for Xiao Qi first, if we can see a bookstore or something, there should be a map inside, and then we can come back with a copy." ”
"Uh......"
It was the woman's voice, and we hurried to look over. The woman finally opened her eyes.
"Sister, you're awake!" Xiaoyu said happily.
"It's... Woo... Where is this? The woman spoke, raising one hand to her forehead.
"Hello sister, my name is Hu Xinyu!"
"You... Hello...... I... Suddenly, the woman suddenly came to her senses, raised her head vigorously and asked, "Xiao Li...... Where is Xiao Li! ”
"Sister, who are you talking about?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.
The woman gritted her teeth and tried to sit up, but her body was not very obedient, Xiaoyu hurriedly got started, and with her help, the woman finally sat upright, and she was frightened when she saw this car of people. However, he quickly recovered, and asked urgently: "Xiao Li...... cough cough cough ...... Where is Li Ming?! ”
"You're talking about the man who is with you," Dong Shuhe said, "He's dead." ”
"Ahh When the woman heard this, she was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.
None of us persuaded her that in these last days, life and death are common, and she can only come out on her own and count on others? Pull it down. I don't want to deal with it, who knows if this woman is good or bad, and besides, Xiao Qi is still sick, how can I care about her. But according to her, the one who died just now should not be her husband.
But Xiaoyu couldn't help it, took a bottle of water and handed it to her to drink, and said at the same time: "Sister, don't be sad, let's drink saliva first." ”
The woman nodded silently and took a long sip from the bottle.
After a pause, the woman asked, "Did you save me?" After drinking the water, the woman spoke neatly. But she changed fast enough, even if the man just now was not her husband, he should be a friend, she was just stunned for a while...... Naturally, I became wary. In the last days, people have to guard against it, after all, I have a lesson.
"Well, it's Brother Xiaoshi." Xiaoyu nodded and said, pointing at me at the same time.
The woman smiled at me and said, "Thank you." ”
I didn't want to talk to her, so I waved my hand casually to show that I was not welcome.
"What does that guy have to do with you just now?" Dong Shuhe asked. I don't know what he asked about this picture, but I wouldn't have asked.
The woman paused for a moment before she said slowly, "He was met when I was running for my life." ”
"Is it just the two of you?" Dong Shuhe asked again.
The woman nodded and said, "Originally, there were more than a dozen of us, but then we were discovered by zombies, and we fled all the way, and in the end there were only two of us left, but I didn't expect him to ......."
"What about my sister's husband?" Xiaoyu asked. I said in my heart that these people love to poke other people's sad things, and if they don't follow it, they will definitely die. "My sister and her husband must have a good relationship, you were still calling him when you were in a coma just now!" Xiaoyu said. This girl, you still ask if you know that the relationship is good.
Sure enough, the woman's face suddenly darkened, and she was stunned for a moment before she said, "I don't know either...... At the time of the zombie outbreak, I was working in a kindergarten and I was a teacher. My husband was a driver for Linjiang Post and was also working at that time. I see a lot of teachers and students suddenly go crazy, and I know that they have become zombies, because I used to watch zombie movies with my husband, and I saw a lot of such scenes. At that time, he also joked with me, saying that if the zombies appeared, he would do his best to protect me......"
As she spoke, the woman's tears flowed out, and she continued: "I called my husband immediately, but no matter how many times I called, I couldn't get through...... I ran out of the kindergarten to find him, only to find that there were already a lot of mutated people on the street. However, I managed to get to the post office without any problems, but when I got there...... I just found out...... Found out there has been ......"
This royal sister is crying differently from the little girl's film, there is no sound at all, but the tears are flowing on her face. This can also explain why this woman adapted to the death of the man just now so quickly, after all, she came from the edge of life and death, she has lost more than a dozen companions, and she used to watch zombie movies, so it is easier to accept life and death. However, if you change it to your own relatives, you can't accept it casually.
After listening to her brief experience, my impression of her has also changed slightly. But this Xiaoyu couldn't stand it, and then burst into tears, and said, "Sister...... Don't you ...... Don't be sad...... All of us...... It's the same...... My Mom and Dad...... I can't find ...... either."
I can't listen to it anymore, and if I remember everyone's sadness like this, I have to be hooked up, so do I still have to live. "Stop!" I shouted, and jerked to my feet. Bang Dang! I hit my head on the roof of the car...... Forget it's short.
Everyone's eyes came to me as soon as I shouted, and it was a shame for them to see the headbutt bang.
"Brother Shi, Brother Shi...... Are you okay? Xiao Fan asked.
I waved my hand calmly, and said to Xiaoyu first, "Have you seen the corpses or mutations of your family?" ”
Xiaoyu didn't understand what I meant, and shook her head in a daze.
Then I said to the woman, "Then did you see your husband?" ”
The woman gently wiped the tears from her face and shook her head.
"That's it," I said, "just because I didn't see them doesn't mean they've mutated or died." So now you have to think about how to live yourself, and others don't have to worry about you. You know! I turned around and sat down, one of them was that I didn't think there was anything to say, as long as they didn't cry. Plus, it hurts to hit my head! Hurry up and rub it secretly.
There was silence in the carriage after I finished speaking.
Ao Xiang suddenly said, "Shi Lei." ”
"What?"
"You're all right......
"Hahaha!" Xiao Fan laughed loudly: "Brother Ao Xiang, good question!" Ha ha! ”
"I think you two owe a beating!"
After such a fuss, the heavy atmosphere just now was also blown away, and the two women stopped crying, which is considered my goal to be achieved. After teasing Xiao Fan for a few words, I began to feed Xiao Qi again.
"Thank you for saving me!" The woman introduced herself: "My name is Peng Miao, and I am 28 years old this year. ”
Needless to say, Xiaoyu will do it all: "Sister Miaomiao, hehe!" My name is Hu Xinyu. This is my classmate Liu Xiaofan, and this is Dong Shuhe. This is Brother Ao Xiang, he's a policeman! The one who hit the head was Shi Lei's brother......"
"Pounce~" Xiao Fan couldn't help laughing again. Sooner or later, I threw these two children into the wheels of the car.
Ignoring my white eyes, Xiaoyu continued: "Lying there is Little Seventh Brother, he is very good at kung fu, but he has a fever now......"
"Do you still know that your little seventh brother has a fever!" I said angrily: "You forgot about a sister, hurry up and take care of him." ”
Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and immediately came over to take care of Xiao Qi. I can be considered to be light, but I can't really do the job of taking care of people.
"Fever?" Peng Miao moved around with great effort, probed the temperature of Xiao Qi's forehead with her hand, and said, "Oops, it's so hot!" ”
Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Yes, Little Seventh Brother's physique should be very good, I don't know why I have a fever." ”
"Is there any fever medicine for him to eat?"
"I have already taken the medicine," I said, and then casually put a bag of food in front of Peng Miao, "Do you want to eat something?" ”
"Thank you," Peng Miao said, "Is there any water?" ”
Hearing this, Xiaofan handed over another bag.
"It's not that I want to drink," Peng Miao said, "I mean to wipe his body with water, and he can get a hot breath." ”
Ah! Why didn't I expect that the royal sister is just different!
"Yes, yes, Peng...... Sister Peng is right, hurry up and lift him up. As I spoke, I took out the towel I had taken from the convenience store, then unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and poured it all on. This is not ice water, it is warm, and there is no need to be afraid of stirring Xiao Qi.
Xiao Yu had already helped Xiao Qi sit up, and Xiao Fan helped him take off his shirt. I was about to wipe it with a towel, and I was stunned when I saw it. I'm gone, why don't I have such a good body?!
Don't look at Xiao Qi's thinness, he is full of Gada meat! The pectoral muscles, abdominal muscles and other muscles are clearly visible, although they are not the exaggerated strength of Europeans and Americans, but they are also stylish. Coupled with this handsome face and superb skills, this must not fascinate the little girl, and the light in Hu Xinyu's eyes next to him is the best evidence.
Xiao Qi is a bug at all......
In addition, I also noticed that on the upper arm of Xiao Qi's left arm, there is a palm-sized tattoo with a pattern of a skeleton facing forward, a delicate dagger on its gloomy teeth, and a capital English letter 'G' underneath.
"Wow! This skeleton is so domineering! Xiao Fan said loudly.
I don't think anything, compared to the various colorful and complex tattoo patterns in the world, this is really simple, but I have to say that the tattoo on Xiao Qi's arm is indeed a bit unusual. But what I care about most is the skull's eyes, two pitch-black round holes, I always feel like it's looking at something, and I feel hairy in my heart...... Maybe I'm too sensitive.
"Wipe him up." Peng Miao was stunned when she saw that the three of us were stunned, and couldn't help but remind.
"Yes, yes, hurry!" I handed the towel to Xiaoyu and said, "Little girl, don't be a nymphomaniac, hurry up and help your seventh brother wipe it." ”
"Go, you're a nymphomaniac!" Xiaoyu said unconvinced, but still took the towel to help Xiao Qi wipe his body. She was about to wipe her back when she suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! ”
"What's wrong with you again?" Xiao Fan asked.
Xiao Yu covered her mouth with one hand, looking at Xiao Qi's back and couldn't speak. I saw that something was wrong, so I quickly took a step to look at his back, and several other people came over one after another.
Only after this look did I find that on Xiao Qi's back, there were more than a dozen scars, large and small. I didn't pay attention to it when I was changing clothes at the clothing store before.
"Big brother, did you come down from the battlefield......" I sighed.
"It can't be a zombie, right?" Xiao Fan's voice trembled a little.
"No," Ao Xiang affirmed, "most of the scars are old, and they certainly weren't from the last month or two, but ......" he touched one of the wounds and said, "Only this one is relatively new, but it looks like it was injured by a sharp weapon." ”
I estimated that Ao Xiang, as a police officer, should also have learned the identification of wounds, so I believed what he said. Even if these were made by zombies, it was before I met him, and after so long, it should have mutated a long time ago. Since it's okay, it should have been hurt by someone else. But with his skills, who can hurt him? Xiao Qi has a fever this time, is it because of this wound?
"He is so good at martial arts, it is inevitable that he will compete with others before," Dong Shu and analyzed: "Maybe he was injured during the competition." ”
"But why is it only the back that hurts?" Xiao Fan asked.
Indeed, Xiao Qi's chest and stomach have no wounds, even on his back. At this time, I suddenly remembered that when I first met Xiao Qi at the convenience store, he was in a coma, and it was estimated that it had something to do with this relatively new wound. But he had been walking with a team before, but as far as I know, no one in that team could hurt him.
Ao Xiang said: "Judging from the degree of recovery, this wound should still have an impact on him now. ”
Xiao Fan said: "Could it be that Brother Qi has been enduring the pain and running away with us?" ”
Ao Xiang was silent, but looking at his expression, it was probably like that.
Superb skills, lost memories, scars on the back, strange tattoos. I suddenly felt that Xiao Qi was like a treasure cave, and there were too many unknown things in it.
"By the way, he still has a wound on his head." I suddenly remembered and said.
Everyone's eyes focused on Xiao Qi's head, Ao Xiang gently flicked Xiao Qi's hair with his hand, and a wound that had already formed a scar appeared.
"Oh my God!" Xiaoyu couldn't help but gasp.
"Brother Shi, what's going on?" Xiao Fan asked.
I haven't even mentioned Xiao Qi to them. So he said: "I don't know, I already had this wound when I first met him, he was in a coma at the time, and when he woke up, he lost his memory and couldn't speak. ”
"Seventh Brother has amnesia?!"
I nodded.
Ao Xiang looked at the scar on his head and said, "This should have been smashed by a blunt object." ”
"Are you a police officer or a forens......ic doctor?" I said silently.
Xiao Fan said again: "No wonder Brother Qi didn't say a word, is it because of this wound?" Fever now can't be a wound infection, right? But Seventh Brother is so good at kung fu, who can hurt him? ”
He asked several questions, but no one answered. But I think, I am a big country in China, and the population is also the first in the world, Xiao Qi can't be the strongest one, maybe he will meet an opponent who is more powerful than him, and the people I see on the street are all molds, maybe which one is a martial arts master. But it can't be ruled out that someone attacked secretly, so this person is bold enough.
"Let's wipe him first!" I said. Only then did everyone stop discussing, and Xiaoyu and Xiaofan got busy.
After helping Xiao Qi wipe his body, he let him lie down and cover him with clothes, which can be regarded as a temporary solution.
"Sister Peng, do you know where there is a pharmacy?" I asked, she is from the city and should know something. Now in addition to antipyretics, I guess I have to get some anti-inflammatory.
Unexpectedly, Peng Miao shook her head and said, "My home is in the Eastern District, and I haven't been here much, so I really don't know." I'm sorry. ”
I waved my hand generously to signal that it was okay. I thought to myself: There are twelve areas in the mountain wind, I don't have to turn them all, you have only two districts in Linjiang City, you are not familiar with it, how have you lived so many years.
Peng Miao looked at me, and then said lightly: "The most prosperous places in Linjiang are in the eastern district, and there are not too many tourist attractions in the western district, so I don't come here often." And I married into this city, so I don't know much about it. ”
"Oh," I replied casually. I was stunned in my heart, did I think anything others could see? It's not that obvious, is it?!
"Then how did you get back to the West End?" Dong Shuhe asked.
Peng Miao said: "At first, I ran alone. Later, I met some survivors in a shopping mall, but it was quickly washed in by zombies, and there were also quite a few post-mutated people. Later, I felt that the West End should be less than there, so I ran this way. I didn't expect that there are a lot of zombies here. ”
"Didn't you come across the rescue of the troops?" Ao Xiang asked: "Next to it is Yutian City, the provincial capital, and the rescue work here should be carried out in a timely manner, right?" ”
Peng Miao shook her head and said, "No, I often saw helicopters flying in the sky before, and we also sent out a distress signal, but no one paid attention to it at all." ”
That is, helicopters are not for ordinary people.
Peng Miao continued: "I haven't even seen the plane in the past few days, and it is estimated that the flight system has almost collapsed. This has also been seen in the movie. ”
"I'll just say it's good to watch more zombie movies." I said casually: "There are only a handful of people around me who like zombies in the past!" ”
No one paid attention to my ridicule, and Dong Shuhe asked, "Then do you know if there is a hospital near here?" ”
As soon as the word hospital came out, my scalp suddenly went numb, it was a good place for zombies to gather!
Peng Miao's face also changed slightly, and then said: "I've only heard of it here, and I don't know the specific location, but I know it from the Eastern District." However, I think it's better to find a pharmacy or hospital, it will be very dangerous! ”
"How?"
Peng Miaodao: "One of the people in the team escaped from the hospital before, and he said that the number of zombies there was uncountable, and he also escaped by breaking the window on the second floor. ”
The second floor of the hospital, that's not short, people are forced to do anything. I said: "If you think about it, you know that there are no more people lying in the morgue, and the hospital is also the most deadly place in movies in the past. ”
Peng Miao nodded approvingly.
"Sister Peng, what are your plans?" I asked.
Without waiting for her to answer, Xiaoyu preemptively said, "Of course Sister Peng went with us!" ”
Peng Miao thought for a moment, and then said, "Where are you going to go?" ”
"Yutian City."
"It's the provincial capital!"
"That's right."
Peng Miao said: "The population there is the largest in the entire province, why do you want to go there?" ”
I said, "Yes, there are a lot of people there, but the leaders are also there, so there should be good protection." ”
"What if they moved?" Peng Miaodao.
I took another piece of chocolate, took a bite, and said, "It's possible, but I've checked it on my computer before, and the west of Shanfeng City is a heavily infected area, and the east is still under control." But it was checked more than ten days ago, and everyone has seen that the infection outbreak has been almost a month, and the city has fallen, no one knows what the situation in Yutian City is, and it may be like Sister Peng said, those leaders have been transferred, so the situation in Yutian City is not optimistic. So, it's a gamble, a gamble with life as a bargaining chip. ”
This was not only said to Peng Miao, but also to someone in the venue. "Now I'm asking for advice on whether you want to continue east or go elsewhere."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent for a while, and I didn't urge it, after all, this is a matter of life, and it should be considered.
In the end, Xiao Fan spoke first and said, "Brother Shi, what are you going to do?" ”
"I must go to Yutian City." I'm sure.
"Why?" Peng Miao asked.
After taking the last bite of chocolate, I said, "I came out to find my parents, and the last thing I got was that they had arrived at a safe place, but when I got there, it was an empty shell, but no bodies were found, so I thought they had escaped." If you follow the troops to escape, it is very likely that you have already reached other safe areas, and I think only Yutian City is the most likely. ”
"Shi Lei" Dong Shuhe said: "The probability of the situation you said is too small, and there are too many unknowns. ”
"I know, but I'm not going to give up." I said, thinking to myself: this is the only motivation for me to force myself to live.
No one spoke again, so I got up and said, "Think about it, I'll go to the bathroom first." With that, I got out of the car and walked into the convenience store. One is to pee, and the other is to see if there is anything useful.
In one corner, I unfastened my pants with three strokes and two strokes, releasing the waterfall of youth...... At the same time, I didn't forget to look around, although there are no zombies here, but I still don't have a solid mentality, and I don't even bring a knife.
After solving the problem, I began to check it, and the goods were basically rummaged by us, and it was a mess. It's a pity that there is no ** here, and I don't know if the convenience store can sell fever reducers, anyway, I didn't see it. After looking around, I found something that might be useful, the aunt towel. Now there are two women in the car, this thing should be indispensable. I've bought it for my girlfriend before, so I'm not embarrassed. I found a bag at the counter, and then packed five packs day and night, enough to keep an eye on for a while. Even if they don't go to Yutian City, they will use it...... I'm such a good guy.
I looked at the window outside, and there was a person in it whose head was motionless, I guess I hadn't thought about it yet, so I would go back later, I took a pack of cigarettes from the counter, opened it and took out a stick, and then went back after a while.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly there was a banging sound in the convenience store where I was alone.
