Chapter 5 Searching for Medicine
Not long after, Wang Dong had been transformed into a zombie, and his writhing body was irritable, trying to break free. It was the first time for the three of them to see the real zombies at such a close distance. The skin of the whole body turned dark gray, and a fishy mouth was constantly bubbling with a liquid mixed with blood and foam. Like a mad dog, it can be seen from his actions that if he can break free from the rope now, he will definitely pounce on the three of them desperately. And his eyes were also covered with a white film, and the entire pupil was necrotic. The zombie is no longer a human, but an irrational, bloody and brutal creature.
Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong, for the first time to one person. Perhaps it should be said that it was the first time to deal with a zombie head-on, when the sharp knife stabbed into Wang Dong's head, their hearts were actually still unable to accept and adapt. Although he doesn't have much affection for this person, who can really be calm when he sees an acquaintance die in his own hands.
Seeing her husband's body being thrown downstairs, Li Yan surprisingly did not cry loudly, but watched very calmly. Or after experiencing this incident, this usually tall woman understands that if she wants to live in this kind of world, she must let go of a lot, and she only needs to remember that she only needs to live.
"I don't want to stay here anymore, can I move to your side." Seeing that the two were leaving, Li Yan, who looked flustered, grabbed Zhang Zhao's arm with a longing look.
Zhang Zhao shook her hand away and shook his head. Seeing the other party's refusal, Li Yan was also anxious, she couldn't survive by herself at all: "I can help you wash your clothes and do housework, I will do anything." Hearing her say this, Guo Rong sneered: "Eldest sister, are you mistaken, who still has the spare time to do housework and laundry now?" I haven't showered in almost 10 days. ”
It's right to think that in this situation, food and water are the most scarce, and who would waste these districts doing inconsequential things. On weekdays, everyone just wrung a wet towel and wiped their bodies casually. Clothes are also changed occasionally, and they can be dried on a hanger for a few days.
Some of the only things I can do, at this time, are useless. In a zombie-infested world, no matter how high your diploma and theories are, you can't use physical strength to get it real. Just like Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong's previous jobs, salesmen. At this moment, useless. Could it be that you can say that you can still talk about zombies vomiting blood and dying? Can you convince zombies to treat you as a good friend and not bite you?
Being counted by Guo Rong like this, Li Yan's eyes were swirling with tears, she looked at Guo Rong, and reluctantly said it: "As long as you let me live, I am willing to do anything, don't you love me very much?" I can show you, I can show you anything. As long as you let me live, I am willing to do anything for you, including my own body. and the bread that I have hidden is yours. I know that this situation will definitely not work if it continues, you will leave, and I want you to take me with me and let me live. ”
's words not only made Guo Rong stunned, but also made Zhang Zhao speechless. People can really do anything in the face of life and death situations. used to covet her, in Guo Rong's words, this woman who is not a beautiful woman has a desire in her bones that makes men unable to compete and wants to possess. It's no wonder that when Wang Dong was alive, he watched her wife closely, maybe she was really afraid that her wife would go out of the wall.
Seeing that the two were moved by their words, Li Yan also subconsciously straightened her chest. Self-esteem at this moment, she left behind, these two big men are not bad people, if they were willing to take her to escape, she would do these things she said herself.
"Okay, you can come together, but if you want to live, you have to listen to us in everything." The corners of Zhang Zhao's mouth raised a wicked smile: "In addition, I want to tell you that if anyone wants to live, they have to work their own." Bring everything you can eat and use. ”
Li Yan was stunned for a while, and then she realized that the hateful man in front of her was not interested in his body, but in the food that Wang Dong had collected before. Although there is a certain gap and anger in my heart, I finally have a way back.
The things moved from Li Yan's house made Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong excited. They were already short of food, and when they looked at the bread, biscuits and mineral water in half of the room, their eyes were about to glow golden. The main thing is that there are almost a dozen high-end cigarettes.
For men, food, weapons are the most important. There is another thing that may still be ranked above women in the last days, and that is cigarettes. Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong haven't smoked for more than two days, and both of them are addicted to smoking, which is really uncomfortable. After taking inventory of the belongings, I smoked a cigarette beautifully.
Li Yan was arranged to take care of Han Yue, and she didn't have any medicine at home that could treat high fever. The room was full of smoke, and Zhang Zhao and the two discussed, it was better to go to the pharmacy, otherwise no one knew how long Han Yue would last. Outside the apartment community, there is a shopping street, which is basically full of restaurants and convenience stores. Zhang Zhao's apartment faces north, and there is a noodle restaurant downstairs. And between their building, and the building more than ten meters away from the window, there is also an open-air balcony. Just climb out of the window to a height of about three meters on the terrace, and you can jump off just by holding on to the window.
The building opposite was a star-rated hotel that had just been renovated and ready to open, and Zhang Zhao remembered that around the corner outside the hotel, there was a 24-hour pharmacy. Usually, if you have a minor illness such as a cold or fever, you can buy some western medicine to eat. Don't dare to say anything else, these conventional drugs must be available.
The two discussed for a while, but Zhang Zhao decided to go alone. Guo Rong needs to stay and take care of everyone, in case there is any emergency. To put it bluntly, in fact, I haven't fully trusted Li Yan as a woman. All kinds of experiences made him feel more and more that this person's heart was not so simple, lest she hold a grudge and bring anything bad to everyone.
The only problem now is that it's broad daylight, and I don't know how many zombies are wandering outside. After all, there is still a way, they made a risky move, glued an old music player to a small speaker, and then through the window of Li Yan's house, used a rope to hang the player and the small speaker downstairs, and attracted the zombies to the south of Li Yan's house through sound.
It's stupid and risky, and it would be terrible if it attracted a large number of corpses to rush upstairs. However, the effect was very obvious, only ten seconds, I heard a roar of zombies downstairs, and countless crackling zombies poured under the window of Li Yan's house. Occasionally, a few lame zombies walked slowly. Li Yan squatted on the ground, pulling one end of the rope tightly with one hand. In fact, she doesn't have to be afraid at all, although her floor is the third floor, there are shops downstairs. From her house to the ground on the first floor, there is a drop of more than five meters, even if the zombie can jump, it can't jump that high.
For the sake of safety, Zhang Zhao still climbed to the platform along the rope. He cated his body and went to observe the whereabouts of the zombies on the road. The horn is small, but loud. Almost all the zombies within a kilometer of the vicinity were attracted by the sound. This bought Zhang Zhao a lot of time, and he trotted out of the window of the hotel building, wrapped his arm in a piece of clothing, and slammed his elbow against the window. Broke a small hole and reached through the inside to open the window. It only takes two or three minutes to complete this series of movements. He gave a thumbs up to Song Qing, who was standing in front of the window of his house with a nervous mood, encouraging her and himself at the same time.
This room is supposed to be the utility room of the hotel, and the cabinets inside are full of towels and toiletries. It's a hotel to be opened, and I don't know how many people are in it, and whether they have turned into zombies. Zhang Zhao focused his attention, carefully held the steel pipe given to him by Guo Rong, lowered his voice, stopped step by step, and tried to catch the abnormal noise in the hotel.
Fortunately, there was no one in the hotel, and Zhang Zhao successfully arrived at the lobby on the first floor. He searched the front desk to see if there was anything he could use. It's a pity that the newly opened hotel, even the staff should not have arrived, except for some office supplies in the drawers, there is nothing else.
Just as Zhang Zhao was about to open the door, a door next to the hall opened. Zhang Zhao was shocked, holding the steel pipe and preparing to fight. The door opened, and two men in their forties came out trembling inside. When they saw that Zhang Zhao was a living person, their nervous expressions relaxed a lot. They were wearing costumes with security numbers printed on their badges, and they were holding two mops and brooms in their hands, and one of them, a bearded security guard, said in dialect: "****, scared to death, I thought that ghost thing came in." ”
Another security guard saw that there was a sharp knife at one end of the steel pipe in Zhang Zhao's hand, and he didn't completely let down his guard, and said to him: "What are you doing, why did you appear here." ”
Zhang Zhao has no ill will towards the two of them, the zombie virus has broken out for so many days, and it is rare to see a living person outside the apartment, he put away the steel pipe, smiled and said: "I am from the inner community, I came along the balcony above, my friend has a high fever, I will go to the outside pharmacy to get some medicine."
Zhang Zhao has been a salesman for so many years, and he can talk to many customers, and the most important thing is that he has a very cordial smile. This kind of smile is very natural and can make people let go of their inner guard in an instant. The two security guards were also honest people, and they didn't look like a bad guy when they saw that Zhang Zhao didn't look like a bad person, and then said: "Take a ghost medicine, the pharmacy outside was robbed a long time ago, what medicine can you find." "In the days when the virus broke out, pharmacies and food stores in the neighborhood were ransacked as long as they were open.
The two security guards were so frightened that they didn't know what they were eating these days. They walked out and saw that there were almost no zombies on the road, and the two of them went to the side and muttered something, speaking in dialects, and their voices were so small that Zhang Zhao couldn't hear them clearly. Look at the time, it's been more than half an hour since I came out, I can't go on like this, stay outside for a minute longer, and it will be more dangerous. Zhang Zhao saw that the two were still muttering, gesturing their hands and feet, and finally couldn't help asking, "Two big brothers, are there only the two of you here?" ”
The taller and thinner security guard said, "There's also one of our managers." "Manager? So there was anyone else just now? I've been in for so long, and I haven't seen their manager show up. Zhang Zhao asked curiously, "What about your managers?" Why didn't you see it? ”
The mustachioed security guard glanced at him and pointed out with his chin: "It's right there, this dog wants to run away from us and die there." "Following the security guard's gaze, sure enough, there was a mutilated dead man walking next to the green belt, wearing a black suit, it seemed that this was what they called the manager.
The main door to the hotel lobby is a revolving door with an automatic door on the left. The automatic doors were locked, and the revolving doors were blocked by two security guards with a large table and sofa, and there were many newspapers and the like on the glass. It is estimated that they are afraid that the zombies will see it, so the two of them posted it. The two security guards finally finished muttering, and the tall and thin security guard said to Zhang Zhao: "We can let you out, while those ghost things are not here now, we are leaving, and we can't stay here any longer." ”
Finally, there was no need to be embarrassed, and Zhang Zhao was relieved to see the security guard open the door. Now that the whole world is like this, he is curious and casually asks, "Where are you going?" The mustachioed security guard groped for the manager's corpse, found a bunch of keys, and said happily: "This damn guy wanted to leave us, but we didn't expect the car keys to be taken by us, so we drove his car away, of course, to go home." ”
Zhang Zhao didn't want to delay with the two of them, so he trotted to the pharmacy. Now the whole pharmacy is very messy, the floor, the table is littered with all kinds of medicines, and it has basically been ransacked. Fortunately, there are still some medicines for the treatment of fever, and Zhang Zhao has filled some of the remaining 7788 daily medicines.
Luckily, next to this pharmacy there is a shop that specializes in selling Longquan swords and celadons, ornaments, and souvenirs. Zhang Zhao walked into the store, saw the mess in his eyes, and couldn't help but scold his mother. The shop was cleaner than the looted shop next door, and almost all the porcelain and ornaments were broken. And the swords that should be dazzling on the shelves turned out to be none. Although the store only sells unopened decorations, it is a high-quality product made of real materials.
Zhang Zhao remembered that a customer in this business once said that each store would have a small cubicle for certain customers. He searched carefully for a few minutes, and finally found a small room of about three or four square meters in a mezzanine of the exhibition hall inside. Fortunately, those people came and went in a hurry before, and they didn't find this compartment. Otherwise, the treasure in it will also be swept away. Considering that he couldn't hold many things, Zhang Zhao picked two Tang knives, one long and one short, a war knife, two short katanas, and three or four short knives. Packed in a large bag and carried on your back. These knives are offered to special guests and are all sharpened. With a formal weapon in his hand, Zhang Zhao felt much more at ease. Before leaving, he took a Nepalese saber and pinned it to his waist. People's greed is endless, carrying these swords, it weighs dozens of pounds, and when I walk, I feel a lot heavier.
Just as Zhang Zhao walked out of the store and wanted to walk back to the hotel, he saw the two security guards getting into the car. "Not good! Damn it. Zhang Zhao scolded and ran desperately in the direction of the hotel.
