Section 229 Arrival
In the afternoon of the next day, the convoy finally entered the outskirts of Panzhihua City.
The hands on the watch showed that the time was not yet seven o'clock, and it was already dark.
The convoy stopped at a "Y" junction. There are several street signs pointing out the directions to the city and other places in the surrounding area.
A living corpse jumped out of the wreckage of the vehicle on the side of the road, howled and pounced on Liao Qiu, who directly stabbed him through the throat with a steel bar, and stabbed backwards to the ground. The walking corpse fluttered in the air with its hands and feet, and roared with unknown meaning from its mouth. Liao Qiu clenched the steel bar in his left hand, pulled out the machete with his right hand, and smashed its head fiercely.
Liu Tianming jumped out of the cab and gestured to Zheng Xiaoyue, who walked out of the car from the passenger seat. The two men walked side by side towards a building shrouded in darkness on the side of the road.
You have to find a place to spend the night.
The virus mutates too quickly. Along the way, there were no more hobbling walking corpses in sight, all of them were living corpses with quick movements.
Fighting in the dark is far more difficult than during the day.
Liu Tianming didn't know if the living corpse had evolved the ability to see. He didn't dare to take risks, so he could only let Luo Kuan and Zheng Xiaoyue follow him, leaving Huang He Liao Qiu to guard the car. As for the ordinary members of the team who do not have the ability to mutate, they all stay in the car for the time being, and remain vigilant at all times.
The doors of the rooms on both sides of the first floor were open, and Liu Tianming and Zheng Xiaoyue flashed into them respectively. He heard the sound of objects falling from the sky in the room opposite behind him, and without looking back, he stared intently ahead.
Even in the dark, Liu Tianming can see things. The mutant cell has a high degree of integration with the host, which also gives the host more abilities. Liu Tianming walked through the living room and left the bedroom. He saw a pair of red fluorescents in the corner of the kitchen. The bone blade in his hand immediately stabbed diagonally, and when the opponent was caught off guard, the blade penetrated the mouth and broke out from the back of the head.
It was a kid about ten years old. He has been infected by the virus and has become a walking corpse.
Mutant infects possess great combat power. Especially Liu Tianming, he is simply a crushing existence for ordinary walking corpses.
After more than ten minutes, all the rooms in this unit from the first floor to the seventh floor were cleaned. After making sure that the danger alarm had been lifted, Luo Kuan walked out, stood on the passage outside, took out a flashlight, and flashed three times in a row in the direction of the convoy in the dark. Soon the roar of engines was heard in the air, and the convoy slowly moved forward, stopping in the passage in front of the building.
As always, it's still a room and a fire is built to cook.
The survivors didn't waste the supplies on the trucks. They took all kinds of wooden furniture out of the house, split it into pieces, and built a simple earthen stove on the ground with bricks. This is a residential area, and rice and flour food can be found in every room. The virus outbreak has not been long, and these things have not spoiled. The only regret is that there are no vegetables.
Li Jiexin and Liu Fengping were busy cooking, and Liao Qiu handed out some vitamin pills to everyone. Qi Yuanchang brought some tea leaves with him on the truck, and strong tea can also replenish vitamins, but it needs boiling water.
Zheng Xiaoyue followed Liu Tianming around in a circle. They collected a few magazines from a nearby newsstand and found the most urgently needed tourist map of the city.
When I got back to my accommodation, it was already late at night.
"The place we are going to is called Jintong Community, which is here."
Liu Tianming took the food handed over by Zheng Xiaoyue, ate it in a big gulp, and nodded with his chopsticks to spread out the map in front of him: "We are very lucky, that place is not far from here." If we come from the highway, we have to go through the whole city to get there. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a crooked fight! β
Qi Yuanchang belongs to the kind of people who don't care much about the quality of the food, as long as they can eat it. He sat on the ground with a bag of torn salt beside him, and slowly munched on the dried chili peppers dipped in salt in his mouth, and carefully observed each passage on the map by the faint light of the candle.
Liu Tianming could understand his thoughts at the moment.
Last time I was in the Twenty-ninth Hospital, if it wasn't for an accident, there should have been a share of Qi Yuanchang's immunization medicine. Along the way, he had witnessed the power of the infected, and naturally he was particularly interested in the immune potions stored here.
Li Jiexin took the pot of meat and vegetable soup and added a spoonful to each person's bowl. When it was Liu Tianming's turn, she stopped what she was doing, and the expression on her face was a little puzzled.
"There's one thing I don't understand."
Zheng Xiaoyue and Li Jiexin had a good relationship, and opened their mouths to say, "What's the matter?" β
Li Jiexin frowned: "I've thought about it for a long time, and I can't guess why Dean Song put the immunization pill here." I wonder if he was mistaken? Or, what else is there here besides immunotherapy? β
Liu Tianming stopped chewing.
The others also stopped what they were doing and looked at Li Jiexin one after another.
"I don't know if that's right. It's just that staying in the car during this time, I always get cranky. β
After hesitating for a moment, Li Jiexin still expressed the doubts in her heart: "We have all met Dean Song, and we can live until now, and we are the most familiar with him." He's shrewd. I think that no matter what a person does, there should be a reason. When I was in the hospital, I also heard that Dean Song didn't take employee welfare to heart, and took the hospital's money to spend it outside. In fact, if you think about it, this statement is not completely unreasonable. He's the dean, and everyone likes to have more and more power in their hands. Even if it is to build a branch in other places, it should not choose a city-level area like Panzhihua. There is also the immunization drug, and when I calculate the time, I always feel that something is not right. β
Liu Tianming stared at Li Jiexin and asked seriously, "Can you be more specific?" β
"It's too short."
Li Jiexin gritted her teeth and poured out all the thoughts in her heart: "Think about it, from the time when those villagers in Luofeng Village came to the hospital for medical treatment, to the later outbreak of the virus, the time was really short. That is, a few weeks. Although I don't have a high degree of education, I also know that medical research is a very rigorous thing. Dean Song was just one person, how could he develop an immune agent in such a short period of time? Of course, those potions are real. Huang He, Luo Kuan, and Xiaoyue have all been injected, and no one can deny this. But...... I have a feeling...... Could Dean Song have known about the virus a long time ago? He...... He...... Could he have made this potion a long time ago? β
Cao Xinneng and Chen Zhuo sat on their chairs and gulped down their food. They can't interject in this kind of thing, so they can only sit in on it.
Yang Qingguo and Liu Fengping joined the team earlier, and they know and experience a lot of things. They looked at each other and did not speak.
Here, Liu Tianming is the only leader.
"You're thinking too much."
After a moment of silence, Liu Tianming calmly comforted: "You may be too tired during this time. We have all arrived in Panzhihua. If there are no surprises, you can get the immunization pill tomorrow. Rest assured! You're going to be okay. With us and the Yellow River, you will become just like us. β
Qi Yuanchang raised his head and glanced at him, did not express an opinion, and continued to lower his head to look at the map.
Luo Kuan shrugged his shoulders at Liao Qiu and continued to eat.
Li Jiexin was a little lost, and her voice became softer and softer: "I'm just a little scared." I don't know why that's happening......"
Huang He walked over from behind and put his arm around her shoulder. The thick arms embraced the smaller Li Jiexin in it, and leaned close to her ear and whispered slowly, saying intimate words that only the two of them could hear.
After dinner, everyone returned to their assigned room. In addition to the night watchmen who stayed behind, the light in the room gradually went out.
Zheng Xiaoyue was lying on the bed, hugging Liu Tianming, unable to sleep.
"Do you think Li Jiexin's guess is true? Dean Song has already created an immunity potion? He probably knows everything, more than we know. β
Liu Tianming stroked her long hair absentmindedly, and his voice was very low: "I won't tell you, I used to think so." In fact, Li Jiexin's sentence is very rightββββ the time of the outbreak of the virus, and the time when the immune agent appeared, the relationship between the two time points is a little wrong. If Song Jiahao really wants to leave the immunization medicine to me, he can take other methods. For example, hiding in his office, or somewhere in the hospital. β
A flash of surprise flashed in Zheng Xiaoyue's eyes: "You mean, the reason why Song Jiahao asked us to come to Panzhihua is for other reasons?" β
Liu Tianming did not directly answer her question. He sighed: "This guy is still manipulating me until he dies. In order to get the immunization potion, we had to obey his arrangement. In fact, now that I think about it, many things have been foreshadowed when I was in Kunming. He happened to come over to take up the position of dean at that time, and he happened to discover the secret of my entry into the utility room...... Of course, there is a "coincidence" in many things in this world. However, there are too many "coincidences" that happen to us. β
Zheng Xiaoyue moved her body towards Liu Tianming, her head next to his chest. Looking at the dark ceiling, he said faintly: "No matter what, no matter what happens, I only need you by my side, and that's enough." As for anything else, it doesn't matter. β
Liu Tianming showed a smile in the dark, his fingers gently brushed her face, then turned sideways and kissed Zheng Xiaoyue's smooth forehead: "Sleep!" I'm going to wake up early tomorrow! β
Zheng Xiaoyue nodded in satisfaction and closed her eyes.
At that moment, they suddenly heard a loud commotion coming from upstairs. It was as if some kind of weight had fallen and smashed open on the floor. Judging by the crisp and piercing sound, it should be vases, plates and other porcelain.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Yangfeng was immediately heard to be extremely angry, as if he were essentially roaring. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
