Chapter Eighty-Five: The Surviving Baby
As soon as Arthur walked out of the door, he heard the child's cry again, so he had to look back again.
This female zombie is also wearing a baby belt, which is the kind of thing specially designed to take care of babies, which is somewhat similar to the upside-down school bag. In general, parents can put their baby directly in the back belt on their chest, and they can free up their hands to do other things.
Two small white legs were exposed from the baby belt, and the top of it was covered by a blanket. Due to the obstruction of the blanket and the fact that the mouth of the female zombie was strangled by a rope, the female zombie has not eaten the child in the past few days.
However, even with a slight cry coming from the carrier, Arthur couldn't determine if it was a live baby. After all, no one has ever heard the sound of baby zombies, and it may not be the same as the roar of adult zombies.
Arthur covered his mouth and nose and beckoned Wang Zongze and Fang Qian to come in. He alone cannot guarantee the safety of the baby, of course, if the baby is still alive.
Besides, how to kill this female zombie has become a problem, if only Fat Li or Alex were there at this time. A shot or an arrow can easily take her off, and babies or baby zombies can be easily removed.
It's just that they weren't there, Arthur, and they had to figure out a safe way on their own. Arthur and Wang Zongze carried the dresser in the bedroom next to the female zombie. This dresser is very large, and it is no problem to stand alone. Wang Zongze and Arthur held the dresser, while Fang Qian stood up cautiously.
This was Fang Qian's own request, and Arthur originally wanted to go up, but he had to give it to him. Fang Qian was not short, standing behind the dresser, he could completely touch the female zombie and the baby in her arms. It's just that Fang Qian's appearance made the female zombie even more excited. The hands that were originally holding the rope also waved excitedly, and Fang Qian, who was engaged in it, almost fell off the dresser several times.
"Why don't you replace me?" Worried that something would happen to Fang Qian, Arthur raised his head and asked him.
Fang Qian shook his head at him, signaling that he was fine.
Because the dresser was not on the ground, Fang Qian couldn't exert his strength at all. If you push too hard, you won't be able to control your body. Fang Qian steadied slightly, clenched the machete in his hand, and took a deep breath.
80% success rate! Yes!
Thinking about it, Fang Qian suddenly exerted force in his legs and jumped from the dresser to the female zombie! The female zombie's waving hands posed a certain threat to Fang Qian, but he didn't care about it, and slashed at her head with a knife!
There was a "bang", and Fang Qian then fell to the ground. The female zombie's whining stopped abruptly, and the machete got stuck in her skull.
Arthur and Wang Zongze hurriedly ran to check on Fang Qian's situation. Fang Qian sat up and waved his hand to signal that he was fine. Wang Zongze and the others saw that Fang Qian was indeed not scratched by the zombies, so they rushed back to the dresser.
It's time to get the baby off!
Arthur held the dresser, and Wang Zongze stepped on it, trying to open the baby belt.
"Little Hong Kong, be careful."
"Hmm." Hearing Arthur's instructions, Wang Zongze nodded and agreed.
The baby belt is not complicated, and after trying it a few times, Wang Zongze opened the baby belt. It's just that the baby strap is still tied to the female zombie's body, so Wang Zongze had to poke his head out and cautiously glance at the baby inside.
If it was a zombie baby, Wang Zongze would not hesitate to use a machete to help it free.
It's a living baby! It's not a zombie baby!
It's just that the baby is in a very bad state, and even the crying is very weak. Because a large number of cells die after death, resulting in a large loss of water in the cells, the ruin of the female corpse will become very shriveled.
Wang Zongze felt sad for a while, and his hands trembled.
The baby was weakly biting at its mother's shriveled room, crying incessantly.
*********
"I now know why she didn't even wear a blouse." The three of them sat on the sofa in the living room, and Wang Zongze said, "I wanted to say that it was normal for her not to wear pants, after all, she had such a big wound." I thought she had a nervous breakdown in the end, so she didn't even care about her dignity anymore, and just hanged herself naked. ”
Wang Zongze said, burying his head deep in his hands.
"She was topless to breastfeed her child, even if she died." Wang Zongze's voice was very low, and what he saw just now had a particularly big impact on him.
"Alas! The strip of cloth in her mouth, and the rope she was holding, were not the work of some crazy bad guy, but herself. She didn't want to become a zombie and eat her own children. Fang Qian hugged the little baby and said with a sigh.
Arthur also said on the side: "I also know now why she finally gave up cutting her wrists and chose to hang herself. She was afraid that she would kill her child when she died, so she chose to hang herself. As for what she did later, I can only say that it is a great mother's love. ”
"Probably the only thing in this world that has not been polluted may be maternal love." Fang Qian used the bottle found in the kitchen to feed the baby in his arms.
The baby was probably hungry, holding the bottle and cooing on the pacifier.
Wang Zongze finally cried, and he also remembered his parents. The high intensity of life in the past few days has forced him not to think about the things that will distract him. But now, the floodgates of missing loved ones can no longer be closed, and they are pouring out like a flood.
After all, Arthur was a few years older than these college students, and got up and sat down next to Wang Zongze and comforted him. Fang Qian also held back the tears in his eyes and continued to breastfeed the little baby.
After the three of them rescued the baby just now, they hurriedly boiled hot water and made milk powder for the baby to drink. None of the three big men had ever done such a thing, and no one knew how the milk powder was brewed. After Fang Qian tried the temperature, he fed the little baby.
But the baby has no choice, and is sucking the bottle hard. With milk powder, the baby finally fills her belly, and I really don't know how she survived these days.
Fang Qian and the others were not in the mood to cook again. In their eyes, as long as the little baby survives, it is better than anything else.
None of the three dared to imagine how many days the woman had died, because it was really the cruelest memory for the baby.
After the baby was full, he still cried and cried, and the three big men also had difficulties. None of them had any experience in taking care of babies and simply didn't know how to deal with it.
Fang Qian suddenly remembered something and put the baby on the sofa beside him.
"Zong Ze, can you go and see if there are diapers?"
Wang Zongze wiped his red eyes, agreed, and got up to look for it.
