Chapter 38: Underground Mall

Now, we walk along the main passage of the underground mall, which has a lot of space. We were passing through a clothing area lined with countless mannequins in addition to a wide variety of clothes. These dummies are ghostly in the dim candlelight.

"So you escaped from the outlying islands?" Captain Xu asked. He looked to be in his early thirties, not tall, but with a strong gait.

Xiao Jiu nodded.

"It seems that you have suffered a lot, but it is amazing that you managed to escape all the way here with a group of students."

Xiao Jiu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, basically they brought me here, they are all amazing." ”

Team Xu looked back at us, and I immediately seized the moment and asked, "Well, are you from Eden?" ”

"Eden? What is Eden? ”

"Isn't that the name of the official vault?" I was amazed.

"Who did you listen to? We came from the Southern Quarantine. Team Xu said.

Could it be that Eden is another name for the Quarantine Zone? But it sounds like he doesn't know the name at all, how did Xiao Lin's father know about this place?

I looked at Xiao Lin, and she shook her head as well. At this time, I don't know who accidentally touched a dummy, and there was a strange sound of "creaking" behind it.

"By the way, Officer Xu, I have a student who has a gunshot wound and needs to be operated on in a big hospital, can you send us there first?" Xiao Jiu pointed to the land breeze on Guan Fei's back.

Captain Xu waved his hand and said, "Don't rush first!" ”

By this time we had passed through the department store and came to a large door. There was a faint "buzzing" sound ahead.

Captain Xu pushed open the door, and a long-lost artificial light shot at him. I saw a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and under the light of the chandelier, a circle of European leather sofas in the hall was full of people.

This is clearly a furniture store. There were seven or eight people sitting on the sofa, teenagers about the same age as us, women with haggard faces, and old men with gray hair......

I suddenly recognized a familiar face, but Xiao Jiu shouted first, "Lily? Song Lili! ”

The woman raised her head sharply and looked at us intently: "Xiao Jiu! Is it really Xiao Jiu? Also, everybody......"

She glanced at us and identified each of her students: "Li Chen, Lu Xiaolin, Guan Fei......"

"Teacher Song!" We all shouted at the same time. That's right, Lili Song, the English teacher in our class, and she also teaches English to several grades. Like Xiao Jiu, she is a young teacher who mingles with her students and is very popular with them.

She ran up and hugged us, excited to tears: "Great! That's great! You're all alright! It's okay! ”

During the pleasantries, we learned that she and everyone else here had been rescued by SWAT when they fled to the vicinity after the initial shelter fell.

“…… What happened to Lu Feng? She asked worriedly.

"By the way, I almost forgot, I have to treat the wound as soon as possible!" Xiao Jiu asked Guan Fei to lay Lu Feng flat on the sofa, and then unbandaged him.

At this moment, Lu Feng's face was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and his expression was painful. A woman helped bring a floor lamp and turned it up to its maximum against the belly of the landing wind.

I saw that the wound had begun to form pus, and the middle part had begun to fester, and the light yellow pus flowed out, and his abdomen was swollen like a raw egg.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin nervously grabbed my hand.

"Teacher Mo, how is he?" I asked.

Xiao Jiu took out the medicine box, took out alcohol and cotton swabs, and said with a serious expression: "His abdomen began to swell, it is estimated that the bullet broke the blood vessels, and there was internal bleeding, I don't know how long he can last......"

Guan Fei's face turned pale, and he said nervously: "Please think of a way!" ”

"By the way, Lily, do you have any medicine here?" Xiao Jiu asked as he re-bandaged.

At this time, Officer Xu walked over, and there was another special police officer wearing the same uniform beside him.

"Fortunately, there are a lot of medicines in the supplies we rescued," he turned to his companion, "Xiao Yang, you can take this lady to the warehouse!" ”

After Xiao Jiu left, Officer Xu explained, "You guys have a good rest here first" and walked away.

After waiting for a while, I suddenly felt anxious, so I got up and left the furniture store and went to the nearby bathroom to relieve myself. When I returned, I heard the "buzzing" sound again, so I couldn't help but be curious, bypassing the furniture store and walking towards the shop in the back.

Finally, I found the source of the sound in a corner, and the mystery that had been haunting me was solved - no wonder there was electricity in the furniture store, it turned out that there was a generator here.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door of a shop not far from the "papapa, pa......", and I couldn't help but walk over again. I thought someone was trapped inside, so I pressed the doorknob.

But as soon as he pressed it, the door was immediately slammed open by a force. In the dimly lit underground mall, a ghostly pale face rushed in front of me.

I was startled, and before my body could react, my hands quickly pulled me away. As a result, the zombies were desperately biting at my location. I looked closely, and the zombie was wearing a SWAT uniform with a chain tied to its hand, just long enough to reach the person who opened the door.

"Scared me, I finally saved you, you can't be so ungrateful and send you to death, Ah Chen!"

When I looked back, I saw that it was a SWAT officer who rescued me, but why did he know my name?

"Hey, why are you surprised, you don't know me?" He said.

That's when I noticed his face, and his mouth suddenly closed as if he had swallowed a raw egg: "You, you, you are...... Aaron Sue!! ”

"Long time no see, Ah Chen! I thought I'd never see you again! He smiled heartily. With a long figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a handsome face, it is none other than Su Aaron, the squad leader of our class.

I immediately punched him in the chest: "Mutual soul, I thought you would have given the walking corpse as rations early in the morning!" By the way, why are you wearing this? ”

He took out a pitch-black assault rifle from behind his back and said with a smile: "It's a long story, but the marksmanship that helped you out of the corpse just now is not bad, right?" ”

It turned out that the person who helped us show us the way in the backlight and shot the sentry was Aaron!

There was a sudden rustle from his waist: "Aaron, have you found your friend?" Tell him to come along! ”

Aaron picked up the walkie-talkie: "Roger, here it comes!" ”

Aaron stood up and shoved the muzzle of his rifle into the mouth of the deceased. I thought he was going to shoot, but he just put the gun to its throat and pushed it back into the room with all the force, slamming the door shut with a deft gesture as he pulled his rifle back.

"...... this?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Former SWAT team members, in order to save us were bitten. Team Xu felt that he could still be saved, as long as he could successfully develop a vaccine...... Aaron's eyes dimmed, perhaps feeling sad that the life-saving benefactor had become like this.

I hurriedly changed the subject: "By the way, Song Lili is also here, did you escape together?" ”

I know that he has been secretly in love with Teacher Lily, although the other party is a teacher, but how can he care so much about his big character, he always takes the initiative to approach her, persistently asks her questions, asks for tutoring, and even confesses to her, although it ended in failure, but Aaron has never given up. may think that Aaron is still a child, but Song Lili did not show any disgust with him.

Aaron nodded, he said that he was asking her about her textbooks in the office on the day of the outbreak, and since Lily thought it would be safer to escape to the city center, she fled here with Aaron.

"Don't talk about me, how did you escape? I just saw a lot of high school freshmen and juniors, and one of them was seriously injured. ”

I told him about what had happened in the commissary and cafeteria. He was surprised: "I didn't expect Director Zhao to be like this...... And Wang Sisi, hey......"

When I returned to the furniture store, there were a lot of people here. In addition to Team Xu, Aaron and Xiao Yang who took Xiao Jiu to get medicine, there were two more people wearing police uniforms, and there was also a middle-aged man wearing a crooked suit with a somewhat indifferent expression standing next to this group of special police, he glanced at me and then looked down to think about something.

Team Xu clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone is here!" First of all, I would like to introduce the newcomer here, this is Dr. Qin Luo, a doctor of virology from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since Pegasus is one of the first cities to have an outbreak record, the probability of virus antibodies here is higher than anywhere else, so the main purpose of our trip is to help Dr. Qin find a way to fight the virus, so we will take the blood of all newcomers for testing, thank you for your cooperation! ”

The doctor, dressed in a crooked suit, approached with a row of syringes. I suddenly became suspicious and asked, "How long will this test take?" ”

Dr. Chin pointed to a device placed in the corner and said, "It takes about 30 minutes to examine a person. ”

"What?" I was horrified, and immediately rushed to Team Xu and said, "Officer Xu, I'm sorry, we don't have so much time, my companion needs to go to a big hospital for treatment immediately!" ”

Team Xu said: "Then test him first, and if the test confirms that he has antibodies, we will send him to the hospital immediately." ”

"What? No, it's not like that......"

At this time, Xiao Jiu took over the conversation: "Officer Xu, please take us to the hospital first, and then we will come back for testing after the operation is completed, okay?" ”

Team Xu said categorically: "No, you can't take risks, if you can't come back, everything will be in vain." ”

Xiao Lin, Guan Fei and Lin Yu also came over to intercede, but there was no compromise on that capable face.

I became anxious: "You can't do this! To do so would be to kill him! ”

"That can't be helped!" He said.

I had no choice but to turn my head to Guan Fei and say, "Carrying the land breeze on my back, let's leave the ...... immediately."

Before I finished speaking, my right hand was suddenly twisted by a force, and then pressed, and the whole person fell to his knees.

"No one is allowed to leave here!" Team Xu shouted, "Why do you think we are risking to save you? Why do you think you can get a life back without paying? My team of 12 people came here and there were only 4 people left, what do you think is the belief that sustains us to go on? ”

I was about to resist, when a cold hard object came against my head. Seeing this thing, Xiao Lin and Xiao Rou both cried out.

"Are you sure you still want to resist?" He said condescendingly.
