Chapter 112: The Tiger and the Rabbit
"How's the engine?"
The man checking the engine shook his head: "It's hard to get it done without tools." Maybe we'll have to walk. ”
Jack lowered his face gloomily and whispered, "Walking, when will it go?" Listen, we can have one car, just a few of us. ”
"You want to fight those two imps?"
The town is quiet.
This was expected by Lin Ci, and they drove into the town and drove between the roads in the town. From time to time, you can encounter overturned cars, damaged street lights, and broken doors and windows of houses on both sides of the road.
As you can imagine, the town was attacked as much as the rest of the town. Occasionally, large patches of blood could be seen on the white facades of those houses, but there were no corpses or monsters.
If there is a monster in the town, the blood devourer will alert Lin Xi. But since Engelberg, the blooddevouring has been quiet.
The car finally stopped in front of a medical clinic, and Lin Ci got out of the car with Sean. Sean was carrying a steel baseball bat, and to be honest, this thing also played a role in psychological comfort, not to mention the brain-eater, even if it was a ripper, this bat was useless. Lin Ci carried a pistol, and for him, this pistol was more of a cover-up.
They entered through the door of the clinic, and the ground was a mess. The desk and computer at the front desk were already covered with a layer of dust, and it looked like no one had come in for a long time, Sean showed an excited expression and whispered, "Let's go to the pharmacy and have a look." ”
No one patronizes the clinic, so most of the drugs in the clinic should have been retained, so it's no wonder Sean is happy. They soon arrived at the pharmacy and opened the door, which was filled with rows of iron cabinets and a row of freezers to store some medicines that needed to be refrigerated.
However, the town has long been without power, and the drugs in the freezer will naturally lose their effect. Sean and Lin Ci rummaged through the iron cabinets, and after a while, Sean hugged his head and shouted, "Why, why is there no antibiotic." Not even aspirin? ”
"Calm down, Mr. Sean, let's look for more." As soon as Lin Ci finished speaking, he heard the sound of the firearm safety being pulled open behind him.
An old voice said behind them, "Raise your hands and turn slowly to make sure I can see every part of you." ”
Lin Xi was quite surprised that there were still people in this clinic. He raised his hand with Sean and turned around at the man's request, it was an old woman. Dressed in a dirty cloth shirt with stains, his hair was already gray, and his hand holding the gun was still shaking.
"It's nice to see people, even if you're strangers. But what are you rummaging around here, if you want antibiotics or something, don't waste it, they're long gone. ”
Sean lost his voice and said, "What, no! ”
"You've scared me, stranger. Oh, I forgot, put your weapons down. The old woman said again.
Lin Ci shook his head, threw away the pistol and said, "Madam, we have no intention of offending. But Mr. Sean's daughter has a high fever and he needs medicine. So if you know where the medicine is, can you tell me? ”
"Your daughter?" The old woman looked at Sean.
Sean dropped his bat and nodded, "Yes, ma'am." Like he said, my daughter is sick and we came to this town just to find medicine. Are there any other hospitals in town or something? ”
"No, this little place is just such a medical clinic."
Sean's eyes turned red when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "What then, my poor Bella." ”
"Okay, I don't look like a liar, come with me." The old woman was still holding a gun: "But you have to go ahead, I want to keep an eye on you, don't mess around." ”
Lin Ci and Sean nodded and walked out of the pharmacy one after another. The old woman showed the way behind them, and the three of them came to a ward. The ward opened, and there was an old man lying on one of the beds inside, staring at the ceiling with vacant eyes, and infusion with a tube in one hand.
"Is he?" Lin Ci looked at the old man on the hospital bed.
"My husband, poor Luke. Three years ago he turned into a vegetative person, and I have been taking care of him, even if the people in the town have become monsters, because of him, we can't leave. The old woman walked over and took out a box from a nearby cupboard, and she handed it to Sean: "There are enough antibiotics in it for your daughter, now you can go." ”
Lin Xi asked, "You have been living here?" ”
"yes, it's just the two of us. The town has been abandoned by the world. ”
Sean sympathized, "You can come with us." After saying that, he felt that he was a little noisy, and looked at Lin Ci awkwardly, this time Lin Ci did not object, he nodded: "Mr. Sean is right." ”
"Nope." The old woman waved her hand and said, "Where can you go if you leave, it's better to stay here." Let's go, let's both stay quiet, it's okay. I think the same would have been said by Luke, this guy has always been lazy and has said several times that he wants to take me on a trip but has not fulfilled it. Since he doesn't want to walk, I'll stay with him. ”
Sean wanted to say something, but Lin Ci grabbed him, shook his head, and then left the ward with Sean. Lin Ci gently closed the door for the old couple inside, and he sighed. Everyone has the right to choose the path they should take in life, but there are also people who choose to stand still. Staying, not to be unable to walk, but just to accompany another person.
So much for.
They drove out of town.
When Lin Xi and the others entered the town, the door suddenly pulled down on the tour bus. Han Mengdie raised her head and saw several young people walking towards her. A black woman who was with her in caring for little Bella stood up and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
"It's none of your business." A young man with a lip ring nailed to his lips in front reached out and pushed the black man away, while the next few men pushed the black man to the periphery. The man with the lip ring squatted down and smiled, "My name is Cliff, this young lady, and I want to discuss something with you." ”
"I need your boyfriend's car, but he shouldn't be so generous to give it to me. So you see, if you exchange it for his girlfriend, do you think he will give it? ”
"Girlfriend? I? Han Mengdie showed a smile on her little face, but shook her head: "I'm not his girlfriend." ”
"If that's the case, why don't we grab that man's car together?" Cliff smiled darkly.
Suddenly, a line of blood flew through his eyes, and then he saw his hand shake and break off at the same wrist!
Cliff was stunned for a moment, only to see the blood gushing from his wrist, and he grabbed the wound and screamed like a woman.
"My hands! She cut off my hand! Kill her, what are you waiting for, kill her for me! ”
He stumbled back into the crowd, Cliff's companions looked at each other, and one of them pulled a folding knife from his bosom and forced it towards Han Mengdie.
Han Mengdie raised her head, her pupils dilated a little, and it was as black as an abyss. In the depths of that abyss, it was as if a black flame was burning!
She took a blank step forward, and when the second step fell, she appeared behind the man. The man with the folding knife shook it, and then his head rolled down.
At this time, the other people turned around, and Han Mengdie also turned around at the same time, stabbing the black sword in her hand, and after sneering three times, she passed through these people and returned to the little girl's side.
The black woman who had pushed her to the ground reached out to cover her mouth, her eyes full of fear. She saw the three of them shake their bodies, and then blood arrows erupted from their necks, and they reached out to hold their necks, but the blood still flowed uncontrollably from between their fingers.
Only then did Cliff know how to scream, blood running under his feet, he turned and ran to the door, and fell down, but he didn't care to let go too much, and climbed out of the car with his hands and feet.
He shouted, "Jack, where are you?" Murder, that woman killed Carl and them all! ”
Several men who were squatting on the side of the road smoking heard the screams and ran back in a panic, and when they saw the blood stains on the car, their faces were so bad that they couldn't have been worse.
"Great, with these things, Bella will be fine."
In the car, Sean said excitedly to Lin Ci: "I don't know how to thank you, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get the antibiotics so quickly." ”
Lin Ci nodded, he had already seen the tourist bus, and he also saw the people in a circle in front of the bus. Sean also saw it, he put the box of antibiotics and stood up and frowned, "What the hell?" ”
The off-road vehicle stopped on the other side of the road, Lin Ci jumped out of the car, and saw Jack and the others surrounding Han Mengdie in the middle. His face suddenly fell, and he walked over quickly and squeezed through the crowd, walked to Han Mengdie's side, and then said to the men, "What are you doing?" ”
"What for!" Jack held up the rifle: "This should ask your girlfriend!" This bitch has killed several children! She must be held accountable for this! ”
Lin Ci glanced at the car, and sure enough, there were blood stains. Han Mengdie said softly: "They provoked me first." ”
Lin Ci nodded: "I know." ”
He shook the girl's hand, then looked at Jack and said, "Are you deaf?" My friend has already said that it was your so-called children who provoked her first. ”
"Even if Cliff was wrong, there was no need to kill them, would he? Now that she's killed someone, isn't there anything Cliff did to provoke them first? Another man shouted, "It can't be like this, it can't be like this!" ”
Sean walked over and frowned, "What are you doing, put the gun down and talk." ”
Jack yelled, "To hell with it, Sean. Now that your new friend has killed a few of our children, you still want me to put the gun down and talk? ”
Lin Ci pointed at him and said, "You'd better listen to Sean, now that the person is dead, it's useless to say anything." We're going to get out of here now, and there's some food and water in the car, and I can give them to you as a little compensation. ”
"Don't be kidding, what are the lives of your children, can a little water and food compensate for it?" Jack pointed the gun at Han Mengdie again: "She must die, this is already cheap for her!" ”
Lin Ci sneered: "I advise you not to do this." ”
"I want to try."
"Enough!" Sean yelled, "Who knows what happened, stand up and tell me." ”
"I know." The black woman got out of the car, pointed at Han Mengdie and said, "It is true that she killed someone." ”
Jack burst out laughing twice: "Did you hear that?" Sean, are you going to let this murderer go? I remember, you used to be a police officer. ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, the black woman pointed to Cliff and said, "But they did it first, and they wanted to catch the young lady and use her to change the car." I saw a few of you outside the car lobbying Cliff, and then Cliff got into the car. ”
"Shut up!" Jack scolded, "Don't talk about these irrelevant things! ”
He turned around, stepped forward with his gun in his hand, and said, "Anyway, now that this woman has killed someone, she must pay for her life." Of course, your food, water, and car were handed over to me as compensation for those children! ”
Sean wanted to say something, but he reached out to Lin Ci and pressed it on his shoulder.
Jack pointed the gun at Lin Ci: "Stand there and don't move." ”
Lin Ci raised his hand and looked at each other coldly: "That's really sorry." ”
He suddenly slapped Jack's rifle, and Jack fired a shot into the air. Then he was already supported by Lin Xi's foot on his stomach, and the person flew out. The rifle fell into Lin Ci's hand, Lin Ci walked over, and Jack got up and threw a punch at Lin Ci with a roar.
Lin Ci easily avoided it, stretched out his foot, knocked Jack down, and then stuffed the barrel of the rifle into Jack's mouth.
Jack closes his eyes in fright, only to find out to his surprise that he is not dead. He opened his eyes and saw Lin Ci spread out his other hand, and a bullet in his hand fell to Jack's feet. It turned out that when the rifle was snatched by him, the bullet in the chamber had already been taken out for him.
Lin Ci threw the rifle to the ground and said with a smile: "Now that I have changed my mind, since you are looking for death, then I will not compensate anything." ”
A man next to him shouted, "You can't be so unreasonable!" ”
Lin Ci smiled at him and said, "Take a good look with your eyes and look at the world now." It's the age of the jungle, have you ever seen a tiger reason with a rabbit? ”
Lin Ci turned around and said to Sean, "Give you a suggestion, go to the car and bring Bella, and then follow us." Now that you stay, I don't think you'll be able to get along. ”
Sean looked at Jack, nodded, and got into the car. After a few moments, he hugged Bella down, along with the little boy who stopped the car: "Nick is a good friend of Bella, I need to take him with me." ”
Lin Ci nodded, looked at the black woman and said, "Are you coming too?" ”
The black woman shrugged her shoulders: "Probably they won't like me either." ”
Lin Ci gestured and asked Han Mengdie and the others to return to the off-road vehicle first, while he monitored Jack and the others. When Han Mengdie and the others got into the car, Lin Ci walked back. He jumped into the car, started the SUV, and drove away.
Behind them, several men chased after them and shouted, but they could no longer make out what they were saying.
Holding his daughter, Sean shook his head and said, "I really don't know how they became like this, in the past, they were all very good people." ”
