Chapter Seventy-One: Accidents Get Out of Control
Chapter Seventy-One: Accidental Loss of Control
After chatting for a while, Li Wen fell asleep tiredly, leaving Li Wen's translator, and several people could only stare at each other, communicating with Li Jie's embarrassing ten-digit vocabulary mixed with ridiculous gestures.
However, after all, they were just strangers, and after talking about some and some after a while, they got tired of it, and slowly, the communication became less, Nathan sat in front of the stove and roasted the fire, while Joel and Eric sat on the side, whether to give Li Jie a smile, the scene gradually became awkward.
"When is this man leaving?" Joel fiddled with the kerosene stove and teased Eric with his eyes.
Eric pursed his lips and rolled his eyes upward, meaninging, "How do I know." ”
Joel turned his head to look at Nathan again, and Nathan took a calm sip of water, he coughed dryly, attracting Nathan's attention, and then quietly gesticulating with his hand.
"Right now, it's time to rest, what should I do?"
Nathan glanced at Joel's gesture and quietly lowered the glass, his hand shaking a few times.
Joel and Eric instantly understood, wait!
And then wait.
Li Jie was thinking about how to use these people, it was rare to communicate, whether he could help himself, after all, the former navy members, who could come out as mercenaries, should have a few brushes, and with their help, he had a lot of things. The next time you meet someone, you may not be able to communicate, and you may not be willing to communicate, even if you are friendly and can communicate, it may not be useful! What if it's a cook......
Of course, it's not that the cook is useless, well, it's not bad to be a cook...... Ahem, let's think about it, how to speak.
So, the two people sat opposite each other so awkwardly, and although the sun was shining outside, time still moved forward without stopping, and soon it was 10 o'clock in the evening.
"Can't let him stay here, we're out of food!" Eric finally couldn't take it anymore and gestured at Joel and Nathan.
The food here is not theirs, but fresh, raw flesh, whether it is seals, penguins, or even fish, which can be fed by Eric's daughter Jima and Joel's fiancée Dinah locked in the cave.
The remaining prey before, buried in the ice, has been used up, and today there is no time to get fresh prey, it is almost time to feed, if you don't act again......
"Roar!!
"Roaring !!!"
The roar of the infected suddenly sounded, and the three of Nathan chuckled in their hearts, and immediately paid attention to Li Jie's performance, but Li Jie did not react and was still drinking water unhurriedly.
"Until now, they didn't mean to keep me, obviously, they didn't want me to stay here. The Li Wen on the bed listened from the breathing, she didn't fall asleep, she endured a few coughs just now, and people who fell asleep couldn't bear to cough...... That's it! ”
Li Jie suddenly put the cup in his hand aside and lowered his voice: "Then I'll ......"
"Roar!!
Suddenly, a wild roar sounded, interrupting Li Jie's words, and before the people in the room could react, several roars sounded again!
Immediately after, the roar subsided slightly, but after a few seconds, it came again, getting bigger and closer!
Joel was stunned, his face changed suddenly, Nathan and Eric also stood up suddenly, and the three of them couldn't care about Li Jie anymore, and ran out of the cabin almost instantly!
Li Wen on the bed also struggled to get up, using too much force and coughing violently!
Li Jie hesitated for a moment and walked out the door.
As soon as he went out, a cold wind poured in, although he was not wearing a coat, but this temperature was still no threat to Li Jie.
Out of the door, Nathan and the three were gathered in front of the cave, facing a long-haired woman with a pale face and a face covered with black and brown dirt, the woman looked at the three people around her viciously in her eyes, and with a mighty roar in her mouth, she pounced on Nathan, and Nathan's face changed, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, and used a wooden stick in his hand to resist the woman.
While the woman was facing Nathan, Joel gritted his teeth and stepped forward with a rope to tie up the woman, but as soon as he stepped forward, the woman turned around sharply and bit at Joel!
"Roar!"
“Oh! S… t!” With a subconscious scolding, Joel hurriedly retreated, while Eric on the other side leaned over suddenly, jumped up from the ground, shoveled his feet, and tripped on the woman's calf! The female infected loses her balance, and a dog eats and falls to the ground violently, slamming her head on the ground!
"Oh!! Damn it!! What are you doing! Joel didn't feel half of the joy of being saved, but yelled at Eric with a big change in his face!
"I'm sorry!" Eric quickly apologized, but his movements did not pause, and he stepped forward with Nathan and pressed the female infected with blood to the ground.
"Let go! You're going to hurt her! Let go!! Bastard! Let go! Joel gritted his teeth and jerked Nathan and Eric off the female infected.
"Joel! Calm down! Joel!! Eric was shocked, and was suddenly pushed by Joel, stumbled, lost his balance, and pounced on the female infected, Nathan saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "Joel!" What are you doing!! Do you want to kill everyone!! With that, a back kick kicked Joel in the shoulder and kicked him aside!
"Calm down, go! Take the rope! Eric struggled to get up from the female infected, not blaming Joel, but yelling at Joel to get the rope.
"Hey! Dinah, calm down! Calm down! Fast! Joel, bring the rope!! Nathan's face was ugly, and he yelled at Joel as he yelled at the struggling woman.
Joel waited for Eric, his mouth kept coming, but his eyes were very red, he scolded over and over again, tears gathered on the side, listened to Joel's words, sobbed, glared at Eric, picked up the rope and took a few steps forward, tying the woman's body.
The woman's face was covered with blood, but she struggled to raise her head and bite the few people next to her, but she was firmly controlled by the three of them!!
All of a sudden, the scene was extremely chaotic, and three middle-aged men were in a hurry! After all, they can't hurt this infected woman, but they have to prevent being bitten by her! Nature is tied!
"Quick! Stick!! Nathan shouted at Li Jie.
"Huh? What the? "Li Jie was stunned, I don't understand!
"Sticks! Stick! Behind him, Li Wen's panicked voice came, and Li Jie turned around to find that she had also come out, looking at the scene in front of her with an anxious face.
Li Jie understood, and hurriedly handed a wooden stick more than one meter long that was still on the ground to Nathan, Nathan took the stick, put the stick horizontally behind the female infected, and together with Joel and Eric, tied the woman's hand horizontally to the stick, and then, controlled the stick, so that the woman could not move, she could only scream and struggle, and could not hurt anyone.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah, she's hurt! Oh, my God! What did you all do!? Li Wen saw the scene in front of her, but covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Her hand! ”
Only then did a few people see that the female infected person's right hand was covered with blood and bruises, and the entire thumb and joints were no longer visible, the skin and flesh were turned over, and the bones were clearly visible!
"Oh! Damn it!! Dinah, you ......" Joel's face changed drastically, his face was full of sadness, helplessness, panic, and powerlessness, he wanted to touch the female infected person and comfort her, but he didn't know where to start.
They all understood.
She actually bit her own hand and struggled her hand out of the rope, and then escaped!
"Quick! Wash her wounds with salt water, or she will get infected! Nathan said anxiously while controlling the female infected, "Eric, go get the salt!" ”
"Joel, go get warm water! Cloth pieces! Come on! ”
Joel bit his lip and stood up, and ran back to the house with Eric to get their own things, while Nathan was behind the female infected, holding a stick and controlling the female infected.
"Roar! Ahh Drink ~ Roar! Gritting her teeth, the female infected person kept trying to pounce forward, biting Li Wen and Li Jie, but was held by behind her, and then turned back sharply, intending to turn around and bite Nathan behind her, but she couldn't turn around because of the stick, and for a while, she struggled non-stop.
Soon, warm water was brought in a steel insulated lunch box, and Eric ran out with a small jar of salt, mixing the salt water, and Joel dipped a piece of gauze in the salt water, gritted his teeth, and smeared the female infected person's hands that were no longer in shape.
"Dinah, it's okay, it's okay, I'm sorry, oh! Oh my God......" Joel cried as he cleaned his wounds, his hands shaking.
"Hey man, I'm coming, I'm coming!" Eric sighed, took the things from Joel's hand, and helped him clean the wounds of the female infected, while Li Wen took two steps forward and patted Joel, who was crying like a tearful man, and whispered comfort.
After the cleaning was completed, the wound was wrapped in a clean cloth, however, Eric and Nathan both looked solemn, such a wound, if it was a person, then the risk of infection would be infinite, and at this moment, even if Dinah didn't know the pain, she didn't know how to take care of her wound, and the struggle would probably cause the wound to not heal......
Half an hour later, in the midst of struggle and howling, Dinah was locked up in the cave again, firmly tied, no longer tied with one hand in order to give her a certain amount of free space, as before.
"These are the infected, they are infected with prehistoric germs, they don't recognize their relatives, they attack everyone, all living things. Whether it's their relatives or someone else......" Li Wen said to Li Jie, tears flowed as she spoke.
"Man, it's time for you to leave, you can go to Murdomac, maybe there's a chance there." Nathan looked at Li Jie and said in a deep voice.
"Nathan, you ......" Li Wen didn't translate for the first time, and looked at her husband in surprise.
"We can't keep him, his origin is unknown, and his purpose is to return to Huaguo, not to stay here. We also don't have any more supplies to feed one person. Nathan explained.
"But there was no way Murdor Mack's men could get him on board! It is impossible to send him back to China, the only possibility is to snatch all his belongings and leave him to fend for himself in the pile of infected people who are still outside! Li Wen said loudly.
"So what should we do? Do you want me to send him a business card and ask him to make an appointment and hire me to escort him home? Nathan said loudly, and then, looking at Li Wen who was in tears, his voice immediately lowered: "Oh, dear, sorry......"
"Don't be sorry, we really don't have the ability to help him, but we can tell him about the current situation and don't let him lose his life inexplicably!" Li Wen stubbornly raised her head and stared at Nathan and said
"Okay, okay, I understand!" Nathan reluctantly raised his hand to signal that he would admit defeat.
Although he didn't understand what they were saying, Li Jie still heard it because he was arguing.
Key words such as "let him go", "send him to death", "impossible", "Murdomac", etc., he can barely understand.
When Joel was silent, thinking about his injured fiancée, Li Wen and Nathan arguing, and Li Jie listening to a word on the side, Eric sat on the side with an unusually ugly face, his head bowed, and trembling slightly.
His right hand touched his left arm, where a slight tingling and tingling tickled told him that he was injured. Several times I wanted to open my sleeve to check it, but I never had the courage to do it, as if as long as I didn't wipe my sleeve, the wound would not exist......
Eventually, Eric smiled bitterly, then gritted his teeth, and finally mustered up the courage to slowly wipe his sleeves up......
At this moment, on the forearm of the internal test, a blood trough about 2~3 mm wide and 4 cm long appeared there, and a trace of skin tissue with a small layer of flesh was scraped off, and the flesh was curled up, and the blood from the wound was semi-coagulated, but around the small wound was a red, itchy feeling, and it came here.
This scene made Eric's eyes dark, almost overwhelmed by despair, and after a while, Eric forced himself to endure his rapid breathing, calmed himself down as much as possible, and comforted himself, the wound had solidified slightly, maybe it was accidentally bumped before, it's okay, it's okay...... However, his unconsciously trembling right hand still revealed the extreme uneasiness in his heart.
Biting his lip, Eric was unwilling to convince himself: "Impossible, no, absolutely not infected...... However, he still subconsciously pinched the wound with his trembling right hand and squeezed it fiercely......
Under the stimulation of the intense squeezing, the wound did not have severe pain, and the slight pain was mixed with a trace of ...... Comfortable?
The blood broke through the half-coagulated scab under the squeezing and flowed down the arm......
The pain is weakened......
Eric's heart seemed to fall into endless profundity, shrouded in deep despair, and he was unwilling to pinch this piece of meat, as if he wanted to tear it off!
However, only in the area of the accident 10 cm away from the wound, there will be a trace of pain, and within the wound area, there is still not much pain......
Infected, he closed his eyes in despair.
He has been trapped in Antarctica for four years, and his almost four-year survival experience tells him that the probability of his infection is more than 90%......
