Chapter 24 (II) Cancer
Tang Shuxing slowly walked up to the kid and stretched out his hand: "Don't be afraid, uncle is not a bad person, uncle is just passing by here, I hope you can help uncle, okay?" There are ...... outside There are bad people chasing uncles. The kid saw Tang Shuxing speaking the same language as him, and then nodded, and when he nodded, he suddenly coughed, and this cough spit out a large mouthful of blood.
"That's right!" Tang Shuxing beckoned Na Jincheng to come forward, only Na Jincheng knew medical skills here. Na Jincheng stepped forward, no matter how the child struggled, he checked up and down, and then checked the child's mouth, asked carefully for a while, turned his head and whispered to Tang Shuxing: "Looking at his symptoms and his explanation, it seems to be esophageal cancer." ”
"What?" Tang Shuxing was surprised,
"He's just a kid." Na Jincheng shook his head: "Cancer doesn't matter whether it's a child or an adult. The child leaned in the corner, and after listening to the words of the Jincheng, he said: "Uncle is right, it is esophageal cancer, and the doctor also said so, saying that I will not live long, and my mother also wants to cure me, but we have no money, we have nothing, not even food, my mother is hungry, she said that she is going to sleep, let me guard her, I know that when she wakes up, she will get up and go out to work, and bring food back......" The child had tears in his eyes, he knew very well that his mother was dead, but he kept deceiving himself like this, Telling himself that his mother was still alive, but she was too hungry to go to sleep, when in fact her mother was starving to death.
Tang Shuxing stood there, looking at the corpse, the child with esophageal cancer, and the fluffy kitten, and suddenly a lot of things popped up in his mind - cancer, for their corpses, it was something that must exist.
And for ordinary people, this thing is deadly, as long as they suffer from it. The chances of healing are almost minimal, and these are called justice.
The Global Resistance Army, which is going to fight for humanity, came to this city like a cancer, leaving everyone in the city worse than dead, without work, without food, and even expropriating everything that civilians needed to survive for the sake of the growth of their own army.
"Fuck—" Tang Shuxing bowed his head and said these three words, turning to look at the sealed window.
Now his eyes are like this window, sealed, and he can't see anything, he can't see hope, he can't see anything.
He was always looking for hope, looking for a solution, but every time he came up with the result, he made himself so desperate.
Years ago, he thought that Shang Du was the real culprit who destroyed this world, and that he could stop everything by stopping Shang Du and stopping Reinhardt, only to find out later that even without Shang Du.
The harsh environment also kills all humans. Later, after learning the truth about ancient humans, he fell into confusion again.
I find it as if the problems I face are unsolvable and understandable, but what about other people? Whether it's the Resistance or Shangdu, it seems that everyone's purpose is to survive, but the ultimate meaning of survival has become two words - cruelty.
Selfishness, human selfishness is the most terrible and deadliest cancer! Tang Shuxing thought of this and suddenly covered in a cold sweat, because at that moment, he suddenly understood Reinhardthy a little.
Some understand Gu Dan, because that's what Gu Dan thought in his early years. So he wants to destroy humanity, and Reinhardt wants to replace humanity with himself.
Destroy the selfishness of mankind. But is that possible? There is no solution, and this question is still unanswered.
"It's getting louder, the robot walking corpse is probably going to be searched, we should go." Bai Zhanqiu said and entered the house, and after seeing the scene in front of him, he was also stunned, and then he didn't say anything, turned around and went out again.
"Take the kids, let's go." That Jincheng is going to hold the child.
"Don't ......" Tang Shuxing squatted down, touched the child's head and said,
"You'll have to ask him if he's willing to go."
"What?" That Jin Cheng felt that Tang Shu's punishment at this time was very strange. Tang Shuxing looked at the child and asked seriously: "Child, are you willing to go with us?" ”
"No, I'm going to be with my mother." The child shook his head firmly.
"There are monsters out there, machine monsters, and these monsters are scary, they will kill you and tear you to pieces." Tang Shuxing said calmly.
That Jin Cheng looked at Tang Shu and said, "He's just a child, why are you telling him this?" Just take him away. ”
"In the eyes of a child, parents are the world, he is only ten years old, he doesn't understand anything, he doesn't have a mother, he has nothing." Tang Shuxing said in a low voice,
"So, he's not going to go." The child just shook his head and didn't say anything, and that Jin Cheng also knew that with their existing conditions, and the extent to which the child vomited blood, he wouldn't live long, maybe a week, maybe a little longer, in short, he wouldn't live too long.
Tang Shuxing hugged the child and said, "Don't you really want to go with us?" ”
"Uncle, I'm scared." The child finally cried,
"But my mom hasn't woken up yet, and I don't want to go." The child was crying and blood was still dripping from the corners of his mouth, and Na Jincheng turned his head to look to the side, he didn't want to see this picture.
At this time, Tang Shuxing stared at the kid and kept looking, without taking his eyes off for a second.
"I know you're scared, but you have to believe in yourself at all times and keep yourself alive, you know? Even if it's one more second, one more second! Tang Shuxing hugged the child and said in a low voice.
The child was silent, just crying, but his eyes were looking at his mother, who was lying on the side, her body had changed color.
After a long time, Bai Zhanqiu walked in again and signaled to them with his eyes that they couldn't stay any longer, they had to go, and if they didn't leave, it would be too late.
"Come with us!" Tang Shuxing persuaded again, but the child pushed Tang Shuxing away, shook his head and retreated to his mother's side, and then curled up there like the kitten, no longer looking up.
"Let's go." Tang Shuxing got up,
"It's his own choice, respect his choice." Na Jin Cheng didn't insist any longer, got up and walked to the back door, and moved the refrigerator that was blocked there, he saw that there were blood stains on the refrigerator, and there were also on the ground, he could fully imagine that the child's mother used her last strength to move the refrigerator to block the back door before she died, but she no longer had the strength to seal the front door.
And the child, too, vomited blood to help his mother move the refrigerator, although his strength was small.
"Let's go." Tang Shuxing easily moved the refrigerator and walked to the back door with Bai Zhanqiu and Na Jincheng.
I saw the child standing at the door of the bedroom with the kitten in his arms, watching them and waving his hand.
"Goodbye, uncle, thank you." The child smiled.
"Goodbye." Tang Shuxing also barely squeezed out a smile. Then he turned around and left, and Jin Cheng followed closely behind and wanted to escape from here immediately.
Bai Zhanqiu stood there looking at the child.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" The kid looked at Bai Zhanqiu strangely.
"What's your name?" Bai Zhanqiu asked. The child just laughed, said nothing, and closed the bedroom door...... At that moment, Bai Zhanqiu felt as if something was tearing at his heart.
…… Forward, keep going, move forward, on the way forward, Tang Shuxing always tried to find one or two more people alive.
He took them away, but unfortunately he didn't find them, all he saw were mutilated corpses, and he didn't see a single living person.
That Jin Cheng is also looking for it, Bai Zhanqiu is also watching, the three of them are trying to make up for the remorse in their hearts in this way, maybe they should really take that child away, but can they take it away?
That kid won't go. Perhaps. The gunfire in the city is no longer dense, it has become scattered and audible.
The robo-walking corpses had killed most of the troops entrenched in the city, and the gunfire was almost concentrated in the central area, in the five-star hotel.
Tang Shuxing climbed to the top of a tall building. He looked at the hotel with a telescope, pointed there, and said, "There are still living people there, we should go there, save one by one." ”
"Okay." That Jin Cheng didn't speak, just responded simply, and Bai Zhanqiu just nodded. In the night, the three of them set off towards the five-star hotel, and at the same time, Quinn also led his team to the periphery of the five-star hotel.
After contacting the other party, they entered the basement of the hotel through the sewer. And in the basement, I saw an extremely cautious representative of the blood shark.
The moment they met, the first thing Quinn asked the other party was, "Since there is a sewer to go in and out." Why don't you go? The representative of the blood shark smiled and smiled bitterly: "What are you kidding?" Even if we rush out, how far can we go? There are so many of us, once we go out, we will attract the attention of all the monsters, and we will be surrounded to death in an instant. Quinn shook his head: "So you choose to sit and wait?" The Blood Shark representative's face sank, and he looked at the dozens of old and weak soldiers who were resting in the basement: "So, you lied to me that you have more than a thousand people under your command?" ”
"That's just giving you false hope and not giving up." Quinn said, looking at the parked car lane in the basement,
"Also, I'm going to borrow your car for a while, and our goal now should be to go to the docks, not stay here and die."
"You've drunk too much, haven't you?" The blood shark represents,
"The docks? There should be more monsters there, what we should do now is wait for daylight, I heard that the robot walking corpse will not show up during the day, let's talk about it then, how about it? ”
"That's fine." Quinn nodded, he'd also heard that the robot walking dead wouldn't show up during the day.
"But I'm up to me here, you have to follow my rules, understand?" The representative of the blood shark said in a deep voice,
"Your range of activities is only in the basement, if you want to go to other places, you must get my permission, also, we have limited food, there is a running water pipe in the basement, you have to drink water and go to the toilet, but you have to eat, sorry, we don't have anything to spare." After the blood shark finished saying that he was leaving, Reuben got up angrily and said, "What are you?" ”
"What?" The representative of the blood shark sneered,
"It's a compliment for giving me false hope." With that, the representative of the blood shark left with the people, and then the door to the basement was sealed, and the sound of them piling things up was heard outside, and it seemed that not only did they lock the door, but also piled up debris outside to prevent Quinn's team from going up.
"! This crumb! Ruben kicked the door. Quinn shook his head and said, "It's okay, this is human nature, you should know it, people are like this, you should have understood it many years ago." Ruben sat down: "But you're different, you're saving people." ”
"You're wrong, I used to be worse than him, but then I met that guy." Quinn sat down against one of the cars,
"I was thinking that if that person was here now, maybe he would be able to take us away, and he would be like a savior......" (To be continued)
