Chapter 49: Helpless Temptation
The entire bank building was shrouded in a sad atmosphere, but the old man didn't look sad, but Jiang Sen really wasn't in the mood to talk to the old man, he leaned against the wall, clasped his hands, and hugged his chest with his cross. He pursed his lips and looked down at the blackening wound on the old man's shoulder.
In these last days, death is very normal, and a cart full of corpses has just been disposed of downstairs, but they have been dead for a hundred years, and it will not affect or no one will be sad at all.
There are countless ways to die, but the saddest and most desperate is to watch your badly injured companion gradually stop breathing before your eyes, mutate into a zombie that wants to eat you, and you have to shoot him with your own hands to free him.
Zombie bites are not fatal, but zombie viruses can quickly infect every cell of the host through blood, and quickly attack the host. In the near future, there is a zombie vaccine, and after the vaccine, the human body will produce zombie virus antibodies, so that even if you are infected with the zombie virus, it will not mutate into a zombie, but the "near future" seems to be a very distant future now.
A hard-hearted person is easy to be sad once he is moved, Jiang Sen looked at the old man sitting on the sofa, helplessly leaning against the wall, his body slowly sliding down the wall, and finally slumped on the ground.
It rained for a day, the solar photovoltaic panels without sunlight did not produce electricity, the electricity in the battery was almost used, and the lights in the room began to become dim, and Jiang Sen, who was hiding in the corner, hoped that the lights could be completely extinguished, so that he could not see the death of the old man when he was hiding in the dark.
"Smack!" , the light of the lighter illuminates the dark room.
"I... How long do I have left? The old man looked at Jiang Sen who was lighting a cigarette faintly.
Jiang Sen looked up at the old man, under the dim firelight, the liquor in the bottle became extremely clean, the old man raised the bottle and poured another sip of liquor, and asked drunkly, "Five minutes?" Ten minutes? I've been bitten by those monsters, yes, yes, I'm going to be one of them, but I'm lucky then, maybe that damn woman just turned into a zombie, and the zombie toxin in her body isn't too powerful, you see I've been holding on for so long. ”
The old man's face was terrifyingly pale, and he hoped to use his last optimism to bring some positive influence to Jiang Sen, and he kept getting blood foam gushing out of the corners of his mouth. It may not have been real blood, and it was mixed with alcohol and saliva. They dripped down the old man's jaw, soaking through the front of his clothes, and the uncomfortable old man poured the rest of the liquor on his face.
"Haha, it's still good to be able to drink liquor from the motherland in the end, you can go out! You shouldn't be here. ”
The wrinkles on the old man's face became more and more dense, and the veins on his face were throbbing because he was smiling too hard. He raised his eyelids and tried to squeeze out a smile: "There is still a lot of work to do, and they can't do without you." I've had a lot of luck in my life, and I've met good people. Xiao Zhang, those two girls... They all need your help, don't waste time on me, I know what to do. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the pistol on Jiang Sen's waist and exhaled a long breath: "Leave me a bullet." This way of dying should be a pleasant one. I.. I don't want to be that kind of monster. ”
After saying this with difficulty, the old man, whose physical strength was close to drying up, slowly closed his eyes and lowered his head, as if he was caught in the memory of the past years.
Jiang Sen sat quietly, he felt as if he had fallen into a dark abyss, and countless images instantly appeared in his mind. He threw away his useless emotions and reason, and frantically searched for all the information related to the words "immunity potion". It's a return of consciousness and a complement to the real world. He wanted to save the old man's life, but the hope was slim, almost equal to zero.
He knew that the corrosive solution was an important raw material for making immunotherapy agents, but he did not know the specific formula of immunotherapy agents. Although this kind of thing is ordinary in the future world, the production process is firmly controlled by the Central Army of the Americas, which is composed of several consortia, and no one can touch it.
All kinds of thoughts sprung up in Jiang Sen's mind, and suddenly, he remembered something, stood up from the floor suddenly, threw away the cigarette butt, strode in front of the old man, squatted down, drew a dagger, and slashed it at his left wrist, and a bright red and bright blood line suddenly appeared from the middle of the skin, quickly widened, and turned into a stream of blood.
The old man's eyes were full of doubts.
"Open your mouth and drink."
Jiang Sen didn't explain, put his bloody wrist to the old man's mouth, and ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Drink more, move quickly." ”
He didn't know the formula of the zombie virus, but he knew that the zombie virus was developed according to the "zero reagent", so perhaps, the "zero reagent" had the ingredients for detoxification. Of course, Jiang Sen's idea is very ridiculous in medicine, all diseases are transmitted through blood, and very few are cured through blood, but now Jiang Sen has no other way, he just feels that since his genes have been perfected by the "No. 0 Reagent", there have been some unexpected mutations, especially his own dreams full of hot and burning dreams, maybe there will be ingredients in his blood that can burn the zombie virus, of course, all this is just Jiang Sen's speculation. But this very unreasonable guess is the only thing Jiang Sen can do.
It seemed that the effect of alcohol was far faster than blood, and soon the old man's eyes were closed, and the wound on Jiang Sen's wrist was healed.
Jiang Sen tried it, the old man's forehead was very hot, he didn't know what the old man would do next, he carried the old man on the sofa to the bed, and the old man fell into a deep sleep. Alcohol, or rather debilitating tiredness, drained the last of his energy.
The old man slept soundly, and his nostrils were snoring rhythmically, which was a good sign, at least that he hadn't turned into a zombie yet, but just in case, Jiang Sen still tied his hands and feet to the bed with ropes.
Coming out of the room, Jiang Sen walked straight to the underground garage, all the people were busy loading things into the car, everyone glanced at Jiang Sen, the sadness on Jiang Sen's face had already explained the problem, but the gunshots had not been heard, and everyone still had a trace of expectation. The heavy atmosphere makes people not in any mood to speak, in addition to the sound of carrying and colliding in the entire basement, there is only the sound of Zhang Nan laughing on the blanket in the corner of the wall playing with a bullet, Jiang Sen walked in and picked up Zhang Nan, and the child laughed in Jiang Sen's arms.
Jiang Sen didn't advance Wang Zhenye's situation to them, but just said the future plan: "I don't want to leave either, I used to have countless longings for this small building, but we are not strong enough, the location of this small building is too special, for safety, we must prepare in advance." These materials are enough for us to last for a while, and only for a while we can get production from the land, then we will be able to live in the last days. ”
"Where are we going?" , Li Tao stood on a pile of goods and asked.
"Southeast, not far from a certain city." , Jiang Sen only gave a general direction, and said: "If we want to survive, we can't do without the remaining materials in the city, but if we want to live, we have to stay away from the city, so we won't be too far away from the city and not too close." ”
Jiang Sen glanced around at everyone, he knew that for this team, it didn't matter where he went, what mattered was that every Qin Rui in this team went to each other, looking at the sadness in everyone's eyes, Jiang Sen said: "As for Lao Wang, he is asleep temporarily, I will take care of him tonight, if he has an accident, I hope that tomorrow we can all send him off collectively." ”
"Hee-hee!" , The baby didn't understand the sorrow of adults, he played happily in Jiang Sen's arms, and Jiang Sen handed Zhang Nan to Yan Juan.
"Let's get some rest! We have limited manpower, so we can fill four trucks and store the rest of the supplies in the underground vault, and we don't know when we'll need them. Yan Juan, who was standing beside Jiang Sen, hugged the child and squeezed out a smile to Jiang Sen and went upstairs first, and then Chen Jing and Chen Ying sisters also went upstairs, Li Tao wanted to be on the night shift, but Jiang Sen refused, everyone had been busy for a day, and Jiang Sen didn't want to make them tired anymore.
In the end, in the empty underground parking lot, only Jiang Sen and Wang Muyan were left, Wang Muyan stepped forward and hugged Jiang Sen warmly, Jiang Sen hugged the girl and felt the girl's body temperature and heartbeat, he now understands what it means to be alive - he will feel sad for the death of his relatives and warm for the hug of his lover.
The quiet overhead light on the ground shone on the two of them, and the time passed minute by minute, the girl hugged the sad Jiang Sen, and Jiang Sen's eyes seemed to be slowly disappearing, leaving only the warm girl in his arms, and his "poof, poof", quiet heartbeat.
The interference item was eliminated, leaving behind a war that had been going on, the cold knife went straight into the sky, and seemed to be about to pierce the sky, and on the other side, the double dragon from the sky was burning, entangled, and rotating around the blade, and the sharp blade continued to cut through the scales of the double dragon, but the double dragon did not give up and kept polishing the sharpness of the blade, although the war is now in a state of stalemate, the double dragon is entangled with the blade, and the blade stabs the double dragon, but the outcome of this war is obvious, over time, the double dragon will eventually sharpen the sharp blade.
"Will this war really be won by the ascending Ssangyong?" In the deep silence, there seemed to be another Jiang Sen standing in front of him, smiling uninhibitedly, and the blade instantly shone with cold light, "Huh!! The twin dragons roared through the sky, and the bright red dragon blood slid down the blade, which greedily absorbed the essence belonging to the dragon.
Jiang Sen raised his head slightly, in the pitch-black face, a pair of dark eyes shone with a ghostly glimmer, and the double dragon stopped screaming in an instant as if it was under the control of its master, and continued to wrap around the blade despite the pain.
