Chapter 6: Survivors
It's so warm!
So comfortable!
Originally, it was supposed to be a hot summer, when the temperature soared, people should also change from long sleeves to short sleeves, but now the temperature has dropped suddenly, just like late autumn, Zhou Che's clothes have already become tattered, and there is always a cold wind blowing along the way, if it weren't for his physical fitness, he would have been frozen and couldn't stand it.
But now, his body feels warm...
The moment his head cleared again, it was almost the first thought that came to his mind, and then a faint fragrance came, which made him instantly more awake, his brow furrowed, and then he opened his eyes.
I don't know how many people died in this disaster, there was a strong smell of blood all the way, Zhou Che was almost used to it, this fragrance was too abrupt.
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the snow-white ceiling, and I slowly sat up, and just about to turn my head to look, there was a gentle but slightly depressed voice next to me.
"Hey, you're awake."
Turning his head, Zhou Che was slightly stunned.
It was a girl, who looked about his age, wearing a plain black dress with an oversized men's padded jacket wrapped around her upper body, which looked a little weird.
Only then did he realize that there were several padded jackets on his body and underground, and he didn't know where he found them.
The long hair is tied behind him, without a trace of messiness, and the facial features are as white and delicate as a porcelain doll, but on this delicate face, there is a faint sadness, which seems to be indelible, making people remember it at first glance, as if it can touch the softest place in the heart, and people can't help but have an urge to protect!
This girl is very cute, and therefore even more endearing.
Zhou Che looked at her, her brows kept furrowing, and she really couldn't have any expression on her face, and she also looked at Zhou Che, looking flat, but if you look carefully, you can see that on her delicate face, in addition to a trace of sadness, there is also a forced smile, which looks contradictory and weird...
If it weren't for the special environment, I'm afraid she would have laughed out loud.
It's really Zhou Che's current appearance, it's indeed a little ridiculous, after being washed by the rainstorm, his hair is messily glued together, his face is also black and yellow, and there are some skin injuries, plus Zhou Che's stunned expression, in Shu Meng's opinion, he looks sluggish, these together, pitiful, it is unbearable to look at directly...
However, Zhou Che didn't have the mind to care about his appearance at the moment, and his mind was in chaos.
"Hmm..."
Absent-mindedly answered, turned around, and then began to look around with a frown.
This is a clothing store, the scale is not large, but the design is very exquisite, Zhou Che just glanced at it casually, and knew that this was already Pearl Square.
In addition to him and the girl, there were more than a dozen people in the store, if you had to count carefully, including the girl next to him, and himself, there were seventeen in total, and of course, including the child in the young woman's arms.
Three of them, looking at the clothes, should be the clerks here...
When he turned his eyes, most people were also looking at him, and he could feel all kinds of emotions in their eyes, whether they were indifferent or sympathetic.
Everyone's faces were not very good, and no one spoke, which made the atmosphere in the store very gloomy, and he was not surprised at all, after witnessing the disaster and the mass death, he knew how it felt...
"Are you feeling better?" Just as he was watching, the girl next to him suddenly stretched out a hand and touched his forehead, the expression on his face was extremely serious, and a cold touch came from his forehead, which made him sober up a little.
Nodding, he forced out a smile, and then raised his right hand to look, the wound had been treated, wrapped in clean gauze, although there was still a little faint pain at the moment, but compared to the dirty and wet clothes he took just now, I don't know how much better.
"My name is Shu Meng, what about you?"
"Zhou Che, clear Che." Zhou Che replied, staring straight at his right hand, his expression was still a little sluggish.
Seeing Zhou Che looking at his right hand with a dull expression, Shu Meng couldn't help but glance at him, frowned and said: "Why don't you even have a little medical knowledge, your right hand is so seriously injured, you don't even do a little treatment, and you use your dirty and wet clothes to bandage it, no, you can't even be bandaged, it should be called a package..."
"But your body is really good, such a high fever, you woke up almost fine, and there is no fatal problem with the wound on your hand, otherwise, you may not survive..."
"And you're really good, you can hold up such an injury..."
What can I do in that case?!
Zhou Che was helpless in his heart, but he didn't say it, where could he hold on, but had to hold on!
"You did this?" The corners of his mouth twitched, pretending not to hear her nagging, he stared at his right hand, the wound had been treated, but it was not medicated, but the wound was cleaned very cleanly, it looked like it should have taken a lot of effort, the gauze was wrapped around the wrist a few times, and a very delicate bow was tied.
"That's right, my parents are both doctors, and I still know some rescue knowledge." Speaking of this, her eyes darkened slightly, and then she quickly recovered, and then stared at Zhou Che, her delicate brows furrowed again, and she wanted to speak again...
"What's wrong?" No one around spoke, and Zhou Che's tone was a little low.
After a little hesitation, Shu Meng spoke: "Although your hands have been dealt with for the time being, but... A bone in the wrist is broken, and if it is not treated in a short time, it may be discarded..."
Silent...
After Shu Meng finished speaking, he stared at Zhou Che's expression, and sure enough, it seemed that it was difficult to accept the result, his face showed a look of pain, staring at his right hand, his body trembled slightly, plus his face was extremely dirty at the moment, and the whole person looked a little pitiful.
Looks like he's about to cry...
It's like a wounded, but homeless stray dog, hiding in the corner of a cold dumpster, shivering.
"You... Don't be sad, I'm talking about... If it is dealt with in time, it can still be cured. Seeing this scene, a trace of panic flashed on Shu Meng's delicate little face, as if he had said something he shouldn't have said, and he grabbed Zhou Che's sleeve tightly.
"It's okay, thank you..."
After recovering quickly, Zhou Che's expression returned to calm, turned his head to look at Shu Meng, and smiled slightly.
He had already been prepared for the abolition of his right hand, but every time he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart, after all, it was a hand, so it was wasted!
He also understood that his wound was indeed extremely serious, and it was precisely because the wound on his hand was too serious that he became very weak, and when he first came to Pearl Square, his consciousness was already extremely blurred, and he finally couldn't support it and fell down at the moment he saw the building...
If the wound is not treated, he may not be able to wake up at all, so for Shu Meng, although he didn't say anything, he was still very grateful in his heart.
Nodding, Shu Meng glanced at him and didn't say anything more.
The voices of the two of them have always been very low, and they are quiet at the moment, and in this small space, they have become even more silent, and even the sad and whistling wind outside can be heard clearly, and there seems to be a layer of haze, which is gradually shrouded...
Zhou Che turned his head and looked at the ruins outside through the windowpane, and his heart was still throbbing, and it was still difficult to calm down.
Not only him, but more than a dozen other people, including Shu Meng, were also like this, all of them were not very good-looking, all of them were silent, some lowered their heads in a daze, and some looked out the window, watching the white mist rise from those ruins, their eyes were full of fear and panic.
The rainstorm was fierce, and by now, there was still unpleasant humidity in the air, and the surrounding fog was white, and it seemed that it had not dissipated at all, but was getting thicker and thicker.
"Bang!"
A sudden sound in the silence startled everyone else, and when they turned their heads, they saw that it was a lean man, who looked no more than twenty years old.
"Damn, there's still no signal, we're waiting here, is it useful?!" His brow furrowed, his face full of impatience, and in front of him, a black cell phone was smashed to pieces.
Most of them looked at him, their faces were as ugly, but no one spoke, except for Zhou Che, more than a dozen people, they all gathered here one after another from the neighborhood, and then began to wait.
It's been a day since they stayed here, but until now, they don't know anything about the disaster, and they don't have any signal on their mobile phones, so they just sit here and wait, waiting for help to arrive.
It's just that they don't know anything about the current situation, only that this disaster is serious, and they have no way of knowing whether there is rescue, and when it will come, and what makes them panic is that they don't see any hope at all about rescue...
If this continues, I am afraid that before their bodies collapse, their spirits will collapse first!
This feeling of not seeing hope makes them begin to give birth to thoughts in their hearts...
And Zhou Che was nervous here, looking at Shu Meng eagerly.
"The phone... No signal?! ”
Originally, he wanted to find a mobile phone and contact his parents to confirm the situation first, but now, if there is no signal, he will not be able to contact his parents, and he will not know the current situation of his parents, which suddenly makes him extremely anxious.
And when he saw Shu Meng nodding in confirmation, his heart was even colder...
"Everyone's cell phone... There is no signal, and we don't know anything about the current situation, except for what we can see in front of us now, so we can only wait here... Waiting for rescue..."
