Chapter 17 Turning Danger into Safety

The "fire axe" was still struggling after the stomach broke and flowed, and it gradually stopped as the blind man bit again. I saw that the axe was not far away, and I tried to hold it quietly. Since I couldn't walk, I could only stare at the blind man all the time, so I stared at it carefully: squatting there like a strong bear, grabbing a lot of meat pieces and swallowing them. Suddenly, I noticed something unusual: the wound cut out of the body of the blind man was healing rapidly, although not overnight, but it was obvious that the wound was shrinking. A few minutes passed, and the deep wounds were still intact.

I didn't expect this blind man to have this kind of ability, ******, if only I had this kind of ability! Now the old wounds have not healed and new ones have been added, and the body is extremely weak; There is simply no ability to kill it. For now, the only way to do this is to accumulate some strength and leave quietly.

The rain was falling, and the roof of the building had turned into a sea of water. I tried to get up, but suddenly my feet slipped and I fell again. The blind man raised his head sharply and turned to my side. I was shocked: it heard it! Sure enough, the blind man stood up and began to grope his way towards me, his steps slow and creepy, and his head kept turning, not letting go of the slightest sound. I wanted to run away, but I was afraid that it would hear the sound, so I stood there and didn't move, begging it to go back to eat or turn around and look elsewhere, but it was clear that this was just wishful thinking.

The blind man gradually leaned up, and seeing that he could no longer hide, I immediately picked up the axe and aimed it at the head of the blind man. The axe, with all the strength I had left, and with my last hope, struck the blind man in the face and split his skull, but it was not embedded enough to kill him. Often the blind man roared in pain, swept his arm, hit me in the chest, and directly put me down.

Another lightning bolt pierced the sky, and under the cover of the thunder, I struggled to roll to the side a few times, trying to dodge as far as I could, but the thunder was too short, and I didn't have the strength, so I only rolled a few steps away. As soon as the thunder stopped, I immediately stopped rolling and remained still again. Attracted by the thunder, the blind man howled at the sky and reached out to pluck the axe from his face. I couldn't find my location for a moment, so I stood there and listened intently. The face of the often blind man had been cut in half by me, and black blood was dripping, but the wound began to heal gradually.

In the heavy rain, my whole body was drenched, and a cold wind suddenly blew, and I was shivering with cold, two rows of teeth collided, and I made a "gurgling" sound, and I was busy biting it with all my might. But it was too late, and the blind man noticed it immediately, but it didn't seem to be sure, and turned around and walked slowly towards me again, I wanted to leave but I was so scared that I couldn't move at all.

I see that the blind man is about to step on me. At the critical moment, suddenly there was a unique "poof" sound from the Type 05 submachine gun from behind, and the blind man was shot one after another. I turned my head to look: I saw a person more than ten meters from the top of the building, holding the steel cable hanging from the tower crane with one hand, and shooting condescendingly with the other.

Suddenly burst into tears of excitement: my little life was finally saved! Although it was raining, and the visibility was low, I couldn't see the face at all, but as soon as I looked at the outline of the ********, I knew that there would be no second person except Xiao Lin.

The steel cable was shaking constantly, which was very thrilling, but Xiao Lin's shooting was still very accurate! Often the blind man was shot several times, one of which hit the forehead. It fell weakly, and I let out a long breath, struggled to get up, and walked to Xiao Lin's side. Xiao Lin was sliding down the steel cable, I reached out to answer, she grabbed me and was about to step on, but I tripped over the railing, fell directly on the roof of the building, and dragged me down.

The two of them rolled together and got muddy water, but they didn't mean to get up, and let the heavy rain pour on them. My heart sank: Xiao Lin was trained after all, but she fell so humiliatingly, it was obvious that her illness was still very bad. I looked at Xiao Lin: she was soaking wet, and her clothes were sticking to her body, which made her body curvy even more. A look of wease. Carrying a large backpack that I hadn't seen before, it seemed to be stuffed to the brim.

"Bitten?" Xiao Lin sat up and leaned against the railing and gasped as she asked, she could tell from her voice that she was extremely tired. I sat up and shook my head as an answer, and it seemed that I had no strength to speak, and if it wasn't for the railing, I would have been lying down again at any time.

"Are there any enemies?" Xiao Lin asked again. I shook my head again.

"Did you find the medicine?" Xiao Lin asked again. This time, I nodded my head hard, reached out and took out the boxes of pills from my battle vest, and opened them to see that more than half of them had been smashed and turned into a pile of glass slag. Pulling inside, he picked out the rest and handed it to Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin seemed very surprised, she took it and looked at me, and put the medicine in her pocket. Then the two of us helped each other and walked towards the building. Xiao Lin still limped when she walked.

"Why do you stink so much?" Xiao Lin asked.

I replied, "We'll talk about it later." "The heavy rain has been pouring for a long time, and all the rotten zombie meat on my body has been washed away, but there will be some smell left. As soon as I entered the building, I took off my coat and threw it on the roof of the building to let the heavy rain continue to wash away, and I went downstairs with Xiao Lin wearing only a vest and shorts.

I came to the fifth floor and found a relatively clean ward. There were exactly two beds inside, and I immediately collapsed on the first bed, pulled the quilt and lay down. The body was already cold, shivering and shrunk into a ball under the quilt. Xiao Lin didn't argue with me, walked to the second bed, untied her backpack, and took off her wet clothes; Then I took out a hanging bottle from my backpack and injected the antibiotics I gave her, ready to give herself an infusion.

"Wait a minute," I couldn't help but say, looking at her clumsy appearance, "let me come." He lifted the quilt and rolled over to get out of bed, shook Xiao Lin's left hand, smeared it with alcohol, gently tapped the needle into her vein, and then fixed it with tape.

"Where did you learn to get injections?" Xiao Lin asked.

"I took care of my mom for more than two years, and I learned naturally." I lay on the bed again, my bones falling apart, painful and tired, and I didn't know if it was comfortable or uncomfortable. Xiao Lin took two ropes out of her bag and threw one over, tying her left hand to the bed before she could say anything.

I hadn't eaten anything since last night, and now I was hungry, not as hungry as I was just now, but I was still a little uncomfortable, so I asked, "Is there anything to eat in the bag?" ”

Xiao Lin took out a bag of bread and a carton of milk from it and threw it over, saying, "Save it, we have to rest here for a while." "I leaned back on the bed and tried to fill them in my stomach quickly, but my mouth didn't have the strength to chew slowly.

"How did you find me?" I asked as I ate.

"Who's looking for you!" Xiao Lin said: "I'm here to find medicine!" ”

I said, "Didn't I tell you to bring the medicine back, why are you still running around?" ”

Xiao Lin sneered: "Am I running around or are you running around?" With your little ability, you dare to come out by yourself and run to the town, you really think you are dying slowly! If I hadn't arrived in time, wouldn't you have died?! ”

I was very tired but couldn't sleepβ€”β€”β€”β€” my spirit was very excited, and my body was so painful; Xiao Lin was on an infusion, and naturally she didn't sleep, so I asked how Xiao Lin came here.

It turned out that Xiao Lin woke up that afternoon, and when she saw the words I left, she didn't believe that I could bring the medicine back, so she decided to leave. Ganjiazhuang was the closest village to that mountain, so she also came to Ganjiazhuang. It's just that she has a leg injury and walks very slowly. By the time we got to Ganjiazhuang, it was already dark. When I found the two women and asked, the two women told her: Finally, I saw me and Gan Ling coming to town. But it was already dark by then, and she had to rest there for the night, waiting for dawn before coming. Xiao Lin is highly trained, not like a headless fly like I am; Through reconnaissance, she soon found that she could enter the hospital through the tower crane, so she entered the construction site like me and climbed over, and found that I was fighting the roof of the building, which saved my life.

I also told Xiao Lin about my experience, so naturally I wanted to brag about my positive image, and I didn't want to mention more about the ugly things that I was beaten, but Xiao Lin didn't let go of any details, and kept interrogating until all the details were clear. Soon I was asked for a preface that didn't match my words, and I had to tell the truth.

Summer thunderstorms are characterized by coming and going quickly, and at some point it has cleared up outside, and a rainbow hangs in the sky.

From just now to now, I have always felt that there is an important thing to ask, but I am so frightened that I can't remember it; waited until his body and mind gradually calmed down, and he came to his senses, and hurriedly asked Xiao Lin: "How should we get out?" "The whole hospital is surrounded by tens of thousands of zombies, and I don't want to be trapped here, and finally be forced to eat zombie flesh and become as strong and stupid as those corpse eaters.

Xiao Lin said nonchalantly: "How to get in, how to get out!" There are a lot of zombies on the construction site, but it's not impossible to kill! ”

"Oh, that's good!" A stone fell to the ground in my heart, and my mood improved. A piece of bread obviously can't fill my stomach, and I want to take another piece from my bag, but I remember that Xiao Lin said that I want to stay here for a while and save some food, so I can only endure it, but my eyes always involuntarily tilt up the bag. Suddenly noticing the black corner of the backpack, he hurriedly asked, "Is that a radio?" ”

Xiao Lin let out an "um".

I was pleasantly surprised, "Where did you find it?" "The radio is now not just a machine for us to listen to messages, but an angel to bring hope; The information that comes out of it is so precious to us that it may even save lives!

"Ganjiazhuang!" Xiao Lin replied.

"Is it okay to open it? I want to hear it. I said impatiently.

"No, the battery is not enough!" Xiao Lin refused: "Besides, there is no important news now, the most important news is announced at seven o'clock in the evening, just like the previous news broadcast!" ”

News hookup? This word is both familiar and unfamiliar to me, something that only existed in a world where there was no blood and carnage before! I miss it so much! "And you listened to the news at seven o'clock yesterday?" I continued.

Xiao Lin nodded and said: "There are two important ones: first, the Beidou satellite system is about to start operation, and the Supreme Command will be able to grasp the movements of the zombie group at that time, and will announce the information of the zombie group at any time, just like the weather forecast!" Secondly, the Supreme High Command has just unveiled their general plan! It is divided into five steps: the first step is to send airborne troops to occupy Tongguan and comprehensively clean up the zombies in the entire Weihe Plain west of Tongguan and east of Lanzhou; It is necessary to turn the entire Weihe Plain into a huge security zone. Step 2: Go south to Chengdu and occupy the Sichuan Basin; Step 3: Use boats to go down the Yangtze River, make full use of the Jiangnan water network, and control the entire Jiangnan; Finally, it went north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to restore the entire Central Plains, including the capital Beijing. The fifth step is to restore the rest of the country. The entire project is estimated to take more than 20 years! ”

"Twenty years, how can it take so long?" I asked.

Xiao Lin sighed: "It's not because there are too few people! At present, the total population of Lanzhou is close to 100,000, and there are less than 20,000 young adults between the ages of 20 and 40, and a considerable number of people have to be left behind for industrial and agricultural production. By the way, in order to increase the population, the Supreme High Command has abolished family planning and fully encouraged births in safe zones. The war with zombies is long-term, and only when the next generation grows up and the population increases, can we win! ”

I was silent, and roughly calculated in my heart: 1.3 billion zombies, 8,000 troops, if you kill an average of 20 zombies per person per day, it will take 22 years to clean up all the zombies, the key is that these zombies are distributed all over the country, and you have to find a door to clean up, which is naturally labor-intensive and time-consuming; Thinking of this, I sighed, I thought that the battle would be over in three or five years at most, but now it looks too optimistic!

The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has only been fought for eight years, and it seems that the environment we are facing is even more difficult than during the War of Resistance Against Japan! The mental preparation made with all my strength these days is still lower than the harsh reality! After a long silence, I continued: "Where we are now, the fourth step will be our turn, a full twenty years!" It's impossible to survive until then. ”

"Getting to the safe zone is not so easy either, and the High Command says that survivors of the zombie zone are not encouraged to go there unless they are well prepared. According to the latest statistics, less than one percent of those who make it there alive are the ones who die on the way. The feasible plan they proposed was to find a well-supplied place where zombies could not enter and wait for rescue, set up as large crosses on the ground as possible, and send out helicopters whenever satellites could capture them. Now that the security zone is very short of manpower, there is a lot of work to be done against more than a billion zombies: strengthening the city walls, training soldiers, resuming production, etc., so they very much hope to save more people in order to increase their strength. ”

"That's great! Let's go back to the outpost," I said, "we are at the eighth post, and the ninth and tenth are not sent by the company commander, but the first seven are all sufficient, if they are all collected, we will eat for a year!" Definitely make it until they spot us and send out a helicopter. ”

Xiao Lin said: "I'm afraid that it won't work, after the Supreme Command takes Tongguan, it won't go eastward again; This means that Tongguan is the closest safety zone to us, about 1,100 kilometers away from us, and 2,200 kilometers round trip. No helicopter can reach this far! Unless there is a secret refueling base on the road. And now there are trapped people all over the country, and it may be the Year of the Monkey when it is our turn! We still have to rely on our own strength to get to the safe zone! Even if you can't reach it, at least you have to go to a place closer to Tongguan, and it's easier for helicopters to fly. ”

There is a helicopter to pick you up, but you have to go forward on your own, I really don't know if this is good news or bad news! I lay there scratching my head and said, "Tongguan? This name is so familiar, I seem to have heard it there! ”

Xiao Lin said: "You always know about Hanguguan, right? During the Warring States Period, the Qin State relied there to confront the Six Kingdoms of Shandong! During the Eastern Han Dynasty, a larger pass was built on the west side of Hangu Pass to replace Hangu Pass, because it was close to Tongshui, it was named Tongguan! That's where soldiers fight! If Tongguan can be locked, and the Qinling Mountains to the south of the Yellow River in the north can be used as a moat, it can cut off the road for zombies in the densely populated areas in the east to advance westward. Concentrate on cleaning up the zombies in the Weihe Plain west of Tongguan and build a vast logistics base! ”

"Weihe Plain? What is that place? ”

Xiao Lin raised his head and faced the west: "The Weihe Plain is surrounded by the four Xiongguan Passes, Hangu Pass, Wuguan and Xiao Pass, and is also known as the Guanzhong Plain; It is also the hometown of Qin during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so it is also called 'Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan'. It is surrounded by mountains and is a typical 'country of four stops', and it is also one of the most developed areas of industry and agriculture on the mainland. ”

The land of the four stops! As soon as you hear the name, you know that it is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, this kind of terrain seems to be very ideal, and industry and agriculture are still very developed! Industry produces weapons, agricultural production produces food, if these two things can be managed, is there still a need to be afraid of zombies? If you can get there, you will be safe, as long as you block all the zombies outside, even if you don't kill them all, you can still live a peaceful life.

Finally had an overall understanding of the situation in front of me, I felt sleepy, Xiao Lin was also exhausted, and when she finished the infusion, I pulled out the needle for her, and then the two fell asleep.
