Chapter 23: Fate
After He Hao rushed into the clinic with Xiaobei in his arms, he put herself on the hospital bed and tore off all the clothes on her upper body with both hands. Several wounds on the back were shocking - the incision was 6 inches long, the skin and flesh were rolled, and even the back ribs were deep into the bones. Blood constantly seeps out of the capillaries in the flesh......
He Hao hurriedly debrided with hydrogen peroxide, and then used a sterilized surgical needle to stitch it up on Xiaobei's back. After a few stitches, the severe pain woke Xiaobei up.
She couldn't help but cry. But He Hao was not moved at all, and after taking out three buprenorphine hydrochloride sublingual tablets for her to take, he accelerated the speed in his hand.
The needle and thread are deep and wide in the flesh, although the pain is increased, but the ability to stop bleeding after tension is strong, and it is not easy to tear.
He Hao was fast, and he had 160 stitches on Xiaobei's back in just ten minutes.
And Xiaobei was already numb from the pain......
Lao Wangtou brought a basin of hot water, and He Hao mixed it with 1 to 3 medical alcohol. The two of them carefully wiped off the blood stains around the wound, and then used a baking lamp that the old king found to dry the wound.
After the end, He Hao found the blood clotting ointment and wrapped it in heavy gauze, and finally wrapped her entire upper body with sterilized sterile gauze layer after layer.
The treatment of the face, He Hao did not dare to move. He was afraid that his inferior methods would disfigure this girl who had not yet reached the flowering season too badly. Fortunately, the knife was placed on the brow bone, and the fragile eyeball was not injured. The wound around the eyes and face is also not deep.
He Hao could only carefully stitch 2 stitches on her eyebrow bone, 2 stitches obliquely inserted into her cheekbones, and after closing the tender skin on her face, she washed and bandaged it directly......
"She's so low!" The old king touched Xiaobei's armpit and exclaimed.
"Too much blood loss...... He Hao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, estimating that Xiaobei's blood loss was close to 800Cc. This is life-threatening for a 14-year-old girl, and the subcutaneous bleeding has not been completely stopped.
He Hao suddenly remembered something, ran to the car of the VR leap card, and found a camouflage military medical kit, sure enough, there was a 100cc type O plasma bag inside, and the two material packages only provided 200Cc. But this is already a lifesaver for Xiaobei......
After He Hao started to transfuse Xiaobei with the simple equipment included, he finally had time to breathe. Lao Wang Tou used the medical bedding in the clinic to cover Xiaobei. Together with He Hao, the package of supplies was transported to the clinic.
Looking at all the gains, it's really hot-eyed, and to be honest, if it weren't for the things in front of them, they really couldn't believe it-
Military compressed biscuits, 4 kegs × 20 packs. Each package is vacuum packed with aluminum-tin, and the amount of a single package is 120g.
Military high-salt braised pork cans, 2 small barrels × 5 boxes. Each box of canned food contains 300g, and the pure green aluminum box contains 95% of the meat, which is by no means the kind of product in the world that is mostly oil and water.
Military medical kit, 2 packs. In addition to the plasma bags that have been used, there are some simple common medicines and 2 rolls of sterile gauze. There is not a single instrument, which can be described as indiscriminate. He Hao left the gauze and discarded the rest.
155/255mm single-edged daggers, 4 pieces. The dagger is made of pure steel cast in one piece, with two wide blades, and is extremely sharp. He Hao only left 3. Included in his backpack, the rest of the handful was given to the old king's head for self-defense.
4。 45mm semi-automatic pistols, 4 pcs. Comes with 4 boxes × 24 rounds of ammunition. 2 mufflers. Temporary handwritten instructions. He Hao already has 2 police guns, so he gave the remaining 6 police gun bullets to Lao Wangtou because the bullets are not universal. Semi-automatic pistols and bullets, all left by He Hao himself, were also included in the backpack.
Body armor, 8 pcs. This kind of body armor is the most rudimentary type of cotton pottery, although it is very difficult to resist bullets, but there is no problem in preventing the bite of zombies. The disadvantage is also obvious - too bulky. The weight of 7 pounds is not something that everyone can wear for a long time. He Hao and Lao Wang had no intention of staying after looking at each other, after all, it was too wasteful to run around in this thing.
16x telescope, 2 pcs. He Hao and Lao Wangtou shared it equally.
Camouflage outfits, 8 sets. Among them, the old and the new are different, He Hao did not put this in his eyes, but the old Wang Tou happily changed into a suit, and praised the military for being thoughtful. He Hao also left a set for Xiaobei.
There were 2 radios, and He Hao abandoned them, but the old king liked it ruthlessly, so he left one.
There were two sets of compasses and two sets of maps, and the old king left a map, and the guide was dispensable for him. He Hao took it all, and after the other map was folded, he put it away close to his clothes.
Finally, at the bottom of the package, there are 4 boxes of drinking water in small glass bottles, presumably because the military is not easy to carry, so they were included in the material package.
He Hao's eyes lit up, and the empty 120ml glass bottle was like a treasure for him. He used a dagger to cut the useless camouflage outfits into several palm-wide strips of cloth, and the camouflage suit was divided into two layers, the outer layer was pure cotton and each layer was polyester. He Hao twisted the two into twisted bundles. A small alcohol incendiary bomb was then made by pouring a high concentration of alcohol into an empty bottle and sealing it.
Because there is not much alcohol in the clinic, only 20 pieces can be made. But that's already a pretty good weapon.
He Hao looked at the abundant amount of materials mixed with joy, the VR jump card that made great contributions to him was close to being scrapped, although the old Wang Tou tried to avoid the impact in the middle of the front of the car, but the entire front bumper has been lost, and the engine cover cannot be fastened because of the deformation of the front frame. If the engine is exposed, it can easily be damaged in a small collision, and it can be very dangerous......
Lao Wang Tou seemed to see his thoughts, and while eating the canned military high-salt braised pork, he said, "Girl, we can't move in this situation, and our vehicles can't do it anymore." Then he snorted and continued, "Why don't I get another one?"
"Can it be better than this car?" He Hao asked rhetorically. It's as if his VR leap card has this high evaluation in his heart.
The old king pouted and said, "Enough."
"What then? Can't you try to fix it? ”
"If you want to repair it, you have to overhaul it...... Lao Wang smacked his lips and continued: "I looked in this community before, and there is no auto repair shop. Not to mention major repairs, medium repairs are difficult. ”
"Is there really nothing that can be done at all?" He Hao asked unwillingly.
Lao Wang Tou smiled and said: "I'm afraid others can't do it, but I can find similar parts from other different models to repair."
"Spelling?"
The old king said proudly: "You may not understand this. Leave it to me anyway. But soon he said with a sad face: "It's just that you have to help me find some tools first, I guess ......."
Before the old king's words were finished, He Hao took out the toolbox from his backpack, and the sophisticated tools in it made the old king's head stunned.
The rough palm stroked the set of tools as if it were caressing a grandson. He muttered, "My good ......." After he took the tools, he took the pistol and went out, and gave He Hao a promise as he left. At this time tomorrow at the latest, you can go!
……
The afternoon sun lazily spreads on the devastated ground, and the only ones who can enjoy such a warm glow are probably zombies.
During the overnight construction of the Chenguang base, the four high walls of the base were finished, and some large-scale factory foundations were built behind the base from dawn to this time......
Haoran rubbed his red and swollen palms, and he had never been used to heavy physical labor, and he could no longer even grasp the wooden handle of the pickaxe. The whole morning's work was finally over, and he collapsed on the ground with relief.
The women in charge of carrying the burned bricks were also tired, and even the pampered Gillian cried several times.
As the bell rings for lunch, people flock to the area's 15 food delivery trucks. As the door opened, the cooks brought out large vats of food, escorted by gun-wielding soldiers.
White flour steamed bun with potato and ham soup. The poor cut ham is pitiful, and a full bucket is only more than ten pieces. As if to cover up the humble lunch, there are symbolic spicy oil flowers and slightly yellowed coriander leaves.
The survivors each received four steamed buns and a bowl of these potato soups.
Xiao Ai and Jasmine, who arrived at the end, could only watch the cooking soldier scrape the iron spoon on the bottom of the inclined bucket with a loud sound, and struggled to fill half a bowl.
This is the way life in the last days, no matter how noble and illustrious your former status was. Now you're nothing.
The survivors sat in twos and threes, silent or chattering. None of them could smile, and happiness was probably the highest luxury here.
Sitting around, Haoran, Gillian, Jasmine, Xiao Ai, and Teacher Fang Fang, like other survivors, talked about an important event in the base - at dawn, the personnel carrier loaded with 60 soldiers drove out of the base.
Haoran nibbled on the white-flour steamed bun and said with a rumbling voice: "Don't you see, the base has sent troops outside today, there must be some big move."
"Is the military going to reclaim the town?" Gillian said excitedly that she missed the days when she had no worries about food and clothing.
"Just kidding, just like that?" Haoran shook his head and continued: "I see that the camp in District 2 has been recovered! After all, there's still a dog officer trapped there. ”
"Not only a group, but just now there was a troop carrier pulling dozens of people out of the base. I'm afraid that some new resources have been discovered. Jasmine chimed in.
"New resource land?" Xiao Ai snorted coldly and said, "But there is no such thing as a brick burning factory, there will be more bricks to move at that time."
When everyone heard this, they were silent.
At that moment, two personnel carriers returned to the base, one of them badly damaged, the torn tarpaulin dancing in the wind, and the survivors could see that there were not many soldiers left.
"Looks like it's been a tough battle......"
"It's horrible."
"What's wrong with them?"
While the survivors were talking, a second personnel carrier drove in, and people saw a huge meteorite on the back of the vehicle. It is pitch black and angular. It looks more like a massive stone coffin.
The news of the failure to save the camp in District 2 spread far and wide. The hearts of the survivors in the camp were all clouded, although the number of soldiers on this operation was not large, but it was enough to see the combat effectiveness of the zombies.
At the same time, survivors from the Sector 1 camp arrived three minutes later – just seven people. The disaster in Zhonghe does not appear to be less severe than that in the more populous town of Montenegro.
Among them, there is a special character - Chen Zheng!
Chen Zheng's appearance was quite downcast, his tattered camouflage military pants were dirty, and all that was left of his upper body was a gray white shirt with mottled blood stains. The neckline of the buttonless is wide open, and inside is a simple tourniquet wrapped in duct tape around a towel.
The complexion is gray and the hair is unkempt. He had already lost his spirit, as if he were a living dead who had walked in purgatory.
No one can understand how he survived these two days......
Before, in the shopping mall of Zhonghe Town, when he confronted Xue Peng empty-handed, he thought that he would definitely die. If it weren't for jumping from the second floor of the mall to the lobby on the first floor in order to survive, I am afraid that I would have become a ghost under the gun.
Xue Peng was furious and fired two shots at Chen Zheng, who was lame, one shot from the lower right rib and against his shirt, scraping his side waist bleeding. Another shot hit the left shoulder, shattering the blade.
Chen Zheng's life was also great, and at this time, the zombies who rushed to the second floor forced here and attacked Xue Peng - a female zombie bit his back, although Xue shot her head with a backhand, but more zombies had already pounced on him.
Xue Peng's not strong body actually rushed out against the 3 zombies pressed on his body, trying to kill Chen Zheng. But there is a know, the other two young female zombies pounced on him one after another, one person and two corpses stumbled to the tempered glass sightseeing elevator, Xue Peng, who had an extraordinary desire to survive, fired several shots and broke the glass screen wall, and wailed and fell down the elevator shaft with the female zombies......
I'm afraid this time, there is really no life or death.
Chen Zheng, who was seriously injured, did not sit still. He struggled to get up, leaning against the wall and trying to escape outside, but the exit was already the entrance for the zombies to pour into the mall. So he walked through the lobby of the mall on the first floor, trying to find a place to hide.
However, what I never expected was that on the same timeline, at that time, the intermediate destroyer of the black light ran from the underground supermarket to the ground floor, and its terrible stomping sound made Chen Zheng completely desperate.
The only passage of the corridor was a dead end, and he slowly slid to the ground with his back against the wall at the corner of the corridor—listening to the barking and running of zombies in the distance with his left ear, the increasing stamping of the ground around the corner with his right ear, and the pain of the gunshot wounds on his body made him think that death might really be a relief.
Suddenly, the footsteps of the Destroyer stopped for some reason, followed by a massive wall collapse and a screeching sound of brakes.
Chen Zheng immediately lifted his spirits, and he glanced over his head - the Destroyer actually broke through the wall and chased an escaped German car!
Destiny dictated, it was He Hao who led away the Destroyer at that time. And Chen Zheng, who survived by mistake, rekindled his desire to survive, and he stood up again by holding on to the wall. Managed to escape through the hole made by the Destroyer to the outside of the mall......
The next two **** can be described as nine deaths. At first, they hid the wandering zombies in small places such as public toilets, communication cable shafts, and newspaper kiosks. Later, he escaped to a certain community and was hidden by an old man in a wheelchair in his home on the first floor. I thought I could hide and heal for a while, but I expected that two more people fled here, which attracted a large group of zombies. Chen Zheng had no choice but to abandon the old man and escape from the other side of the house.
Eventually, he found and joined a group of 5 survivors, only to be killed the night before they were about to plan the next day to seize the supply package when another group of men driving JEEP off-road and armed with mysterious black daggers plundered food.
Chen Zheng, who pretended to be dead, had no choice but to give up the plan.
Alone on the road in the silver cup minivan that the team had prepared earlier, he escaped to the District 1 camp overnight with pain enough to make people faint......
When he came to the Chenguang survivor base at this time, he really got a rest, the 69th regiment commander Zhou Tao and he was a classmate of the 82nd military academy, although the two did not have much intersection at that time, maybe they could give themselves a decent treatment when they thought of the old relationship......
But this, after all, is his wishful thinking. Who knows what the result will be when I meet Zhou Tao?
……
The airdrop package rescue plan was originally intended to save more survivors in Chongtai City, Black Mountain Town, and Zhonghe Town. However, it backfired, and more survivors died in this operation.
With the last few survivors escaping from Zhonghe Town. This place has completely been reduced to a dry town, and zombies are everywhere. Even normal Destroyers, Swallowers, and other mutant zombies have appeared. Even ordinary zombies have been catalyzed into mid-level zombies - their complexion has changed from pale to a faint brown yellow. Some ulcerated skin heals and crusts to form a hard keratin. The hollow eyes of the godless were bloodshot and turned blood-red.
The power of mid-level zombies is stronger, although it is not comparable to ordinary destroyers. But ordinary walls simply can't stop them.
In terms of speed, it is more agile, and the 100-meter sprint only takes about 8 seconds. has completely overridden humanity. You can even make instinctive movements such as jumping and climbing. It's not the kind of goods that can be easily shot in the head casually.
What's even more terrifying is that mid-level zombies have evolved primitive intelligence - they know how to use simple tools to attack. For example, fighting a knife-wielding survivor with a handy iron rod and smashing a vehicle passing by with a huge rock.
Although Zhonghe Town has become a high-risk place that cannot be avoided, someone deliberately broke into it, and this person is none other than the death row prisoner who escaped from the escort car at the same time as He Hao and A Bing - Du Hu!
