Chapter 22: Survivors
Chapter 22 Survivors
I was just about to run when I raised my legs, and suddenly remembered something: my grandmother's eyes can't see, how do I know what works and what doesn't work with the medicine I took back? When I thought of this, I was extremely depressed, I thought I was very smart, but this time I was stupid again.
Just when I was depressed, I suddenly heard a slight movement. He sniffed in the direction where the movement was coming from...... I was drooling......
"Human ...... A hint of humanity! Instantly, my saliva flowed from the corners of my mouth. It's been a long, long time since I've eaten a human! I suddenly felt empty in my little stomach and extremely hungry.
In the direction the smell came from, my feet were already running out uncontrollably. In my opinion, the taste of humanity is the most enticing and the most delicious!
The sound came from behind a two-story building far away, and I jumped over in an instant. After a detour to the back of the second floor, he bumped into three gray-headed humans.
My sudden appearance startled the three humans, and one of them even covered his mouth and shouted.
Outwardly, the three humans were all dirty, with messy hair like a bird's nest. The original color of the skin could not be seen on the dark face.
I stretched out my little finger and pointed at the three humans in front of me, and smiled, "Haha! Three humans! Eat first...... Eat first...... Who? ”
I haven't said anything about me yet, two of the three humans are already trembling with fright, and another middle-aged man in his forties is quite calm and whispers to me, "Little girl, why did you run out by yourself?" There are a lot of zombies out there, and we saw them just now! With that, he stared at my stomach with a surprised expression.
Look at me, or at me with sunglasses in my eyes, to be exact. He looked at me from head to toe and then fixed his gaze on my stomach. I looked down at my belly, and saw a hole in the belly of the white dress, and there was a lot of black blood around the hole, and inside the hole was my pale skin.
"Little girl, are you hurt? Is it serious? The middle-aged man said urgently.
I looked up at him and replied, "No...... No...... It's just that this dress is torn......"
The middle-aged man said again: "It's good if you're not injured...... Are you alone or? By the way, it's not safe here, so you can find a place to hide with us first, and then talk about it in detail. After saying that, he was about to come and pull me, but was stopped by the person next to him.
"Uncle Li, don't go over, didn't you hear her say you want to eat us just now? I can't figure her out if she's a zombie! The man who stopped the middle-aged man said, "Look at the skin of her whole body, it's so white...... The white ones are a little scary! ”
The middle-aged man glared at the man and said hurriedly: "What nonsense are you talking about, have you ever seen such a zombie?" She's obviously a little girl! Have you ever seen a zombie with sunglasses? After speaking, he walked up to me and took my hand, and said to me gently: "Little girl, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, we are survivors in the town." We came out looking for food and ended up running into you. I'll take you to a safe place first, and then I'll talk about it in detail. After saying that, he took my hand and left.
I followed him, wiped the saliva from the corners of my mouth with my hand, and looked down at my little hands. I thought to myself, should I take out his heart and eat it now, or should I eat it later? He was joined by two younger humans, whose flesh tasted a little more fragrant than his......
Soon, the middle-aged man led me to a courtyard gate, pushed it open with a forceful push, and beckoned me and two other humans to enter. When he entered, he closed the gate of the courtyard from the inside, and slammed it with a thick iron rod.
"This is a safe place for us, and we are safe here." The middle-aged man said: "Zombies don't turn around and close the door, so you can tell from the confined courtyard gate that the zombies have not entered." ”
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, I secretly said: The zombies are weak! Won't it close?
So I asked, "What's that......?" Uncle...... What do you mean...... Won't zombies close their doors? ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, after the zombie pushes open the door of a room and enters, it is impossible to turn around and close the door!" This is because of the instinct of zombies. Because zombies have no mind, they only know how to eat people! ”
I nodded slightly, digesting the middle-aged man's words, he said that zombies have no thoughts, I don't think it's right, right? That guy at the bottom of the hospital just now said he was going to eat me! And the guy I met before, he clearly told me to get out of the way and not grab food from him. Aren't they zombies?
When the middle-aged man saw that I didn't speak, he asked me, "Little girl, are you the only one?" I haven't seen you in the county seat before, so you shouldn't be from our county, right? Where is your home? Is your family still around? ”
Where is my home? How do I know where my home is? As for whether I have any family...... I just vaguely remember that I had a kind grandmother who always liked to dig out human entrails and let me guess what? But I must not tell them this, and if I did, they would be more scared than seeing zombies.
Actually, I could have eaten the three of them right now, but now I want to know more about the situation in the county, as well as the situation outside the county...... Anyway, I don't think I can just look for food to eat now, and I need to know more about the apocalypse.
In addition, after seeing these three human beings, I immediately had a thought: human beings must have been sick and must have taken medicine. Let them help me see what medicine I can take and what medicine I can't take.
At this time, a young human whispered to the middle-aged man, "Uncle Li, I don't think she looks like a local...... Like coming from a big city...... Ask her if there is any news of the rescue? The middle-aged man seemed a little excited after hearing this.
My little brain was spinning fast, making up how to tell where I came from......
"That...... That's it...... My house is in the village to the west......" I said, "I live with my grandmother...... I also have a sister named Li Kexin...... In the fourth grade at Hope Elementary School in the county...... My grandmother can't see...... I came to the county seat to find medicine for her...... But I don't know ...... those pills can be taken," I opened my bag and let them see it. They were stunned when they saw a bag full of medicines.
One of the young people said, "Uncle Li, is she talking about Sweetwater Village in the west?" I didn't expect there to be survivors in Sweetwater Village! ”
The middle-aged man glared at him and said angrily: "You two still suspect that she is a zombie, have you ever seen a zombie who can talk, will you still find medicine?" ”
"I'm not a zombie! Uncle! I said urgently.
"Know! I know! If you're a zombie, you won't be able to follow us here, and you'll definitely want to eat us! The middle-aged man said,
I really wanted to eat them when I met them! I want to eat them even now! If I hadn't endured it all the time, I would have eaten them...... But I'm not a zombie! Hum!
"Alas, it is strange why there are so many kinds of medicines, and only a little of each?" The middle-aged man suddenly wondered.
I explained, "I don't know which one I can eat, so I take one of each and go home and let my grandmother pick it up." When I pick out what I can eat, I'll come back to the hospital to get it again. ”
"What a clever little girl!" The middle-aged man understood.
"But...... I just remembered that my grandmother couldn't see......" I said, pretending to be pitiful.
The middle-aged man gently stroked my head and smiled gently: "It's okay little girl, uncle will help you find it!" As he spoke, he took out two kinds of medicine from his schoolbag and continued: "These two are for high blood pressure, does your grandmother have high blood pressure?" ”
"What is high blood pressure?" I asked weakly in a whisper.
"Haha! I don't think your grandma should have high blood pressure. If your blood pressure is high, you'll be scared to death by the end of the world! The middle-aged man said as he picked up the medicine from my bag, "I think the most important thing now is to find cold medicine and medicine that only has diarrhea, it will be autumn soon, the weather will get cold, and you will get colds, so I need to find some cold medicine." ”
"That's right! My grandmother also said that she might eat expired food, so I need to find medicine for diarrhea...... Berberine! I said urgently.
"Berberine is also called 'berberine hydrochloride', and berberine is generally not written on the packaging." The middle-aged man said, handing me a medicine bottle.
I took the medicine bottle, looked at the Chinese words on it, and said, "Hydrochloric acid...... Berberine...... Is this berberine? ”
The middle-aged man said, "That's right! This is berberine...... Little girl, do you know these words? How old are you? ”
"Ten years old!" I replied without hesitation.
"Oh...... It's normal to know a lot of words at the age of ten......" The middle-aged man looked at me, thought for a while, and said, "Little girl, let me ask you...... Look...... The three of us ventured out to find food, and you came out to find medicine. I don't know if you can understand me, I mean, now every one of us is worried about food, we're all starving to death, we don't even have the experience of looking for medicine. Unless a family member is seriously ill, we don't take the risk to find medicine. ”
I basically understood what he was saying, and replied, "My grandmother is not sick, and she is not dying of hunger...... I just got her lots and lots of food, flour, rice, and ham...... In short, a lot of food, enough for her to eat for a long time. That's why I came out and looked for medicine. ”
After I finished speaking, the three humans were stunned again.
The middle-aged man was puzzled: "Little girl, is what you said true?" Where do you find the food? Can you tell us? Also, aren't you afraid of zombies? ”
I replied, "The food is found from the village." I'm running so fast that the zombies can't catch up with me! ”
"Uncle Li, let's go to Sweetwater Village too, maybe we can find food! The county is almost all over the city, and I don't think we can find food anymore! A young man excitedly.
When the middle-aged man heard his words, he also showed a trace of excitement and asked me, "Little girl, are there any zombies in your village?" Is there anyone else in the village? ”
I thought for a moment and replied, "There should be no zombies in the village......
"And on the way?" The middle-aged man was a little anxious and said: "It's more than ten kilometers from your village to the county seat, are you the only one who came here?" Didn't you encounter zombies on your way? ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, I'm alone, I'm not afraid of zombies, and zombies can't catch up with me at all, even if they catch up with me, I'll eat ......" I want to say, I wish zombies would come after me, I eat them! But I'm afraid that they will be afraid of me after I say it. I'm a ...... who eats both humans and zombies. Superpowers, right......
I thought about it again, and it was the middle-aged man who was asking me questions for half a day, and I had to ask him what I was most concerned about, so I asked, "That...... Uncle, how many humans are left in the county? Is it just the three of you? ”
The middle-aged man paused, and asked me with a nervous expression: "Little girl, uncle asks you another question, why do you keep wearing sunglasses now that there is no sunshine?" Also, the color of your skin doesn't seem to be the same as ours, so it looks so white......"
