Chapter 31: The Broken Bridge

In the dark, Xiao Jiu gasped.

"No, that position doesn't work......"

Her face was sweating profusely, and her expression was faintly painful.

"It's too deep, please slow down, classmate Li Chen......"

Her breathing grew heavier and her face flushed.

I was also sweating profusely and didn't know where to put my hands.

"Come out, come out, can't go in again......"

Xiao Jiu shouted, and my hand stopped helplessly.

"Senior, what the hell are you two doing?" Xiao Lin frowned and stood behind me with a displeased face.

I was wronged in my heart, I didn't do anything!

At the moment, we are in the inner room of a drugstore. It was pitch black, except for a simple table illuminated by a few flashlights, on which lay a frail boy with fair skin and closed eyes. His face was already drenched with sweat, and his brows were wrinkled together in pain. He had a deep sore on his right abdomen, and the flesh inside was particularly horrific in the light.

I put down the tweezers in my hand, sighed helplessly, and said, "Teacher, my hand hasn't been stretched out yet, why are you excited?" ”

After we escaped from the school, it was already quite dark, and it became very dangerous to continue to move forward in the dark, so we found a pharmacy at Xiao Jiu's suggestion, hoping to get the ammunition out of Lu Feng's belly.

We put Lu Feng on the hospital bed, hung the flashlight in the air as a surgical lamp, disinfected the knife and tweezers with fire and hot water, changed into a clean hospital gown, and began to perform temporary surgery on Lu Feng.

But Xiao Jiu held a knife and tweezers, and he didn't know where to start for a long time, but his face was covered with sweat as if he had undergone a major operation. She handed me the tweezers and motioned for me to do as she instructed.

Who knew that before my hand went down, Xiao Jiu was already in a big fuss, this is not right, it is not right, so I have to let go.

Xiao Jiu retreated Lu Feng's wound and said, "The operation can't be done anymore, so let's go to the big hospital as originally planned." ”

"Didn't you say that the shrapnel should be taken out as soon as possible?" I protested, "Will he be able to make it to the hospital like this?" ”

Xiao Jiu tied the bandage and said indiscriminately: "If you can't insist, you have to insist, the risk of this operation is too great, you can't see the situation in the sores without a shadowless lamp, and you can't cut the skin and flesh well without a regular scalpel, so it is doomed to fail to move the knife indiscriminately!" ”

I wondered, why was she so sure?

Lu Feng had already suffered hemorrhagic shock due to massive blood loss, and we found saline and glucose in the pharmacy to keep him alive for the time being.

When we walked out of the inner room, the pharmacy was also dark, there were people sleeping under the shelves and on the tables, even if Guan Fei made a rumbling snoring sound, everyone was still unconscious, everyone was tired.

We also sat down in the open space, and then I walked to Lin Yu, who was sitting under the window and watched the wind, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have also worked hard for a day, change me!" ”

The door-to-roll door of the pharmacy has been closed, but someone still needs to keep an eye on the window just in case.

The streets were now desolate, and in the moonlight, a few walking corpses walked slowly along the road, making a terrifying whining.

At the moment, we are only a kilometer or two away from the school, and to get to the hospital, we have to cross a viaduct into the city center, and we don't know what the situation is there. Is it a corpse walking in the wilderness or a corpse walking in the wilderness?

In fact, whether it's the school or the pharmacy we're in now, the location on the map is on an outlying island that is connected to the bustling city center by a viaduct. Most of the people's families here are on the side of the viaduct, so if not to mention, everyone is eager to go to the city center to see what is going on.

I was reminiscing about what had happened during this time, and suddenly I closed my eyes in a daze.

"It's not okay to doze off!" Suddenly, a hand slapped me.

Xiao Jiu's face appeared in front of him, and a pair of round-rimmed glasses reflected the moonlight.

"You go to sleep first, I'll take over!" She said.

I was about to get up, when I suddenly remembered something: "Can't we really think of a way to get out of Lu Feng's ammunition?" ”

Xiao Jiu's eyes suddenly darkened, and he was silent. Just when I thought she wasn't going to speak, she made up her mind and said, "Okay, I'll tell you why I can't!" ”

"Before I became a school doctor, I was a surgeon at the municipal hospital...... Once, I went hiking in the countryside with a friend and his family. On the way, we encountered a mountain disaster, and my friend was stuck in the left chest from the back by a sharp branch, and only a little more deviation from the branch will pass through the heart......"

Xiao Jiu said that it was late in the day, they were trapped in a small village in the mountains, and their friend's life was in danger, and the sawdust was still in his chest, which had to be cleaned and disinfected as soon as possible, so they were faced with two options: take him to the hospital or have surgery on the spot.

"The situation at that time was not to mention that he was sent to the hospital, and he would be killed at every move. His parents then knelt before me and said, 'Aren't you a doctor?' Save him! I knew that the medical conditions in the mountain village were poor, but I agreed to them. Results ......"

Xiao Jiu didn't continue, but it turned out that her friend was not saved. I thought to myself, it turns out that this is the reason why she refuses to go under the knife.

"Looking back now, maybe sending him to the hospital was the right choice," Xiao Jiu smiled bitterly, "Who knows if he can make it to the hospital?" We should not underestimate the tenacity of life......"

I knew that this would be a huge blow to her, and she would no longer be able to become a doctor. But at the same time, I also realized that even in this last day, we are still tied to the past, and this is an important evidence that distinguishes us from the walking dead in this cruel world.

The next morning, it was drizzling in the sky, and we loaded up our trucks with useful medicines and set off for the city center as planned. The long road stretched in the rain, and the wheels made a wet sound as they ran over the puddles. There were dead people wandering around, and when our vehicle drove by, they would make a "uh-uh" sound, but as the vehicle went away, they fell silent again.

Except for Lin Yu, who was driving, Lu Feng, who was lying in the back, and Xiao Jiu, who was taking care of him, the rest of them were sitting in the trailer box, letting the rain drip on their bodies. Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, as if no one had fully recovered from what had happened yesterday - the frenzy of killing and death, the flight and the fire, the infection and the escape......

"Why are there so few walking corpses around?" The dog's words caught everyone's attention. We all looked up at the side of the road, and he was right, even if the streets were not as densely populated as schools, they weren't so few, and all they could see were empty shops, shards of glass, and scattered flesh and bones.

Is it because this is an outlying island area, and the population is already sparse?

However, I soon realized that I had guessed wrong. It wasn't long before the truck drove up the viaduct, and under the high, iron-gray clouds, rows of towering buildings like iron combs in the air gradually appeared, and then, we saw an incredible scene:

The viaduct, which had been divided into two lanes by the dividing belt, was broken in half from the middle, and the half of the bridge deck coming from the city center collapsed entirely, leaving countless vehicles plunged into the water and many more abandoned on the sloping deck.

We got out of the car, and Xiao Lin took my hand to the edge of the broken bridge, and the raging sea water churned underneath and hit the piers. There were obvious burn marks on the fracture, and the dog said that it may have been shelled by shells or explosives.

Could it be that the military destroyed the bridge in order to stop the spread of the virus? I thought to myself, what can I do? I can't get by!
