Chapter 14: The Choice of Life
"Mr. Zhang, will they come back, what should we do?" Dr. Wang, whose face was ugly, looked at the crowd of people running towards the government building, and for a while he didn't know whether to continue to follow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Li Xiaomei on the side was even more frightened, squatting beside Zhang Hai and vomiting desperately, this corpse all over the street made Li Xiaomei, a girl who had never met before, unable to adapt at all, and even if Zhang Hai supported her, she didn't even have the strength to stand up for a while.
"No, looking at the situation along the way, I'm afraid it's even more dangerous there." Zhang Hai looked at the situation not far away, although he couldn't see anything, but he listened to the roars of the beasts running there around him, and then looked at Li Xiaomei, who couldn't be supported by his side, and thought about it and said, "And you can't run anymore, let's find a place to hide on the side of the street first, and then see the situation." ”
"Good!" Feeling the thigh that was about to cramp, Dr. Wang looked at the surroundings and finally nodded.
Supporting Wang Xiaomei, Zhang Hai and Dr. Wang directly smashed open the door of a pharmacy next to the gate of the hospital. After helping Li Xiaomei to sit down, Zhang Hai directly pulled over a cashier table next to him and blocked the entrance of the broken door, blocking the passage for other people or other things to enter.
Zhang Hai took Li Xiaomei and Dr. Wang to sit on the ground and rest directly against a row of medicine cabinets, of course, mainly Li Xiaomei and Dr. Wang were resting, while Zhang Hai kept leaning out to pay attention to the situation outside.
Compared to the situation just now, the street is now a lot quieter, and most of the survivors attracted by the sound of gunfire have either died in the mouth of the mutant beast, or have rushed in the direction of the provincial government with the sound of gunfire, so now except for a small number of survivors on the street, most of them are still mutant beasts running from nowhere, one by one, even two or three, two or three walking together on the street, also rushing towards the place where the loud sound is made.
"Ah, help, help." Just as the three of them were hiding in the pharmacy, there was a sudden burst of baby cries of 'woo, woo, woo' on the street outside, followed by the cry of a young woman for help.
Hearing the baby's voice, the three of them couldn't help but lean out, and even Li Xiaomei, who had just vomited and turned pale, crawled over. On the street, a young woman stood in the middle of the street crying in despair with a baby who might be only seven or eight months old, because at least a dozen mutant beasts surrounded her on all sides, staring viciously at her and the crying baby in her arms.
A weak woman with a baby less than a year old obviously has no way to resist the attack of the mutant beast, not to mention that now she is surrounded by more than a dozen mutant beasts, and there is no way to escape. Now that they're fine, it's not that the mutant beasts have a conscience and don't want to eat them, but a dozen mutant beasts compete with each other to decide which one will enjoy the meal in the end.
"Oh my God, how can this be. Can you save her, please, save her, and have a child. Seeing the situation outside, both Zhang Hai and Dr. Wang's faces were ugly, and Li Xiaomei directly covered her mouth, and then pulled Zhang Hai's clothes and begged desperately.
"There's no way, a dozen mutant beasts can't be saved at all." For this mother and son, although Zhang Hai also wants to save them, but in the face of the siege of more than a dozen mutant beasts, Zhang Hai knows that he has no chance of winning at all, if three or four Zhang Hai can still fight, now in this situation, there will not even be a chance to fight, and as soon as he goes out, he will be torn to pieces by mutant beasts.
"Alas!" Clenched his fist and slammed it on the ground, Dr. Wang on the side sighed deeply, sounding full of despair and anger, "Those damn bastards, they are people, aren't the common people human, making such a big movement but not stopping to save people, this is simply murder." ”
"Please, please, it's okay if you don't save me, save my son, he's only ten months old, save him, please." Seeing the mutant beast that surrounded her, the woman obviously knew that she had no hope of escaping at all. just knelt on the ground all of a sudden, kowtowing desperately around, shouting loudly while kowtowing, the woman's forehead was already full of blood in just a few strokes, but she still held the child and kowtowed there desperately.
"What are you doing, Doctor Wang, don't mess around, you will die if you go out." Seeing the woman's head covered in blood, listening to the miserable cry and the baby's weak cry, Zhang Hai's heart was also uncomfortable. But at this moment, Dr. Wang, who was squatting next to him, suddenly stood up and wanted to rush out, but fortunately, Zhang Hai kept paying attention to the surrounding movements and pulled Dr. Wang, who had just stood up, down.
"You let me go, let me out, I'm going to try, there's always a chance." Doctor Wang, who was held down by Zhang Hai, struggled vigorously, especially as the roar of the mutant beast outside became more and more urgent, and he struggled non-stop.
"Don't be stupid, Doctor Wang, you can't have a chance alone, as soon as you go out, just a mutant beast can kill you, how can you save people." Although Dr. Wang struggled hard, Zhang Hai's strength was much greater now, and even if Dr. Wang struggled, he couldn't get out of Zhang Hai's control.
"What about you, Mr. Zhang, I know you are a good person, you go and save them, even if it is only to save that child, he is still so young, he doesn't understand anything at all, he shouldn't suffer this." Dr. Wang, who was full of madness, listened to Zhang Hai's voice, and suddenly grabbed Zhang Hai tightly as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and said eagerly. But then looking at Zhang Hai's motionless eyes, Dr. Wang thought for a while and continued, "In this way, Mr. Zhang, I'll go out and make bait and help you lure away some monsters, so it's okay, the rest of the monsters won't be dangerous to you, really, please, Mr. Zhang." ”
Zhang Hai understands Dr. Wang's spirit of wanting to save people, and admires his ability to even sacrifice himself as bait. Listening to the cries of the women outside, especially the baby, Zhang Hai really wanted to rush out to save them, even if he didn't succeed, he would be able to kill those mutant beasts, at least give the mother and son a chance to escape, and believe that his strength would definitely be able to attract all the mutant beasts and create a certain amount of time for them to escape.
But in the end, Zhang Hai's reason stopped him, between his own life and the life of the mother and son, Zhang Hai finally chose his own life, although he felt uncomfortable and even despised and hated himself, but in the end Zhang Hai still avoided Dr. Wang's begging gaze, but he still firmly controlled Dr. Wang and did not give him a chance to rush out.
After struggling for a long time, I saw that Dr. Wang, who had no hope at all, finally collapsed, lying on the ground alone and crying, crying full of despair and sorrow, even if Zhang Hai slowly released the strength in his hand, Dr. Wang did not make any movements, as if he had lost all his spirit.
Just when Zhang Hai controlled Dr. Wang and didn't let him move, Zhang Hai's whole attention was on Dr. Wang, and he didn't notice that Li Xiaomei, who had just vomited and couldn't stand up, actually walked slowly to the door of the pharmacy, got under the cash register and went to the street, and stood on the side of the street with a mop in her hand.
"Run!" After shouting deeply to the young mother who was kneeling on the ground, Li Xiaomei raised the mop in her hand and smashed it into a mutant beast in front of her, then turned around and ran desperately forward along the street.
"Roar!" The mutant beast that was smashed immediately shifted its attention to Li Xiaomei, gave up the food in the encirclement and chased after Li Xiaomei who dared to provoke him.
The action of this mutant beast suddenly broke the balance between the mutant beasts, and then two or three mutant beasts followed Li Xiaomei after looking at it and also chased after him, while more of the mutant beasts that remained pounced on the mother and son who were kneeling in the middle and had no strength to stand up one by one.
Zhang Hai only found out that Li Xiaomei had gone outside when Li Xiaomei shouted, and by the time Zhang Hai reacted, everything was too late, and before Zhang Hai stood up, Li Xiaomei, who had just run two steps, was directly thrown to the ground by the mutant dog who caught up, and directly bit off a piece of meat on her back, and the mutant beast that came later instantly bit Li Xiaomei into a mutilated rag doll.
The severe pain made Li Xiaomei, who had never suffered before, scream loudly, but her eyes were always open, and she kept staring closely at a glass door not far away, and it could be clearly seen on that glass door that the mother and son were instantly submerged by mutant beasts, and the baby who fell on the ground was bitten by a mutant dog, and Li Xiaomei finally slowly lost all consciousness in the glass door and closed her eyes in despair.
Lying at the gate, Zhang Hai watched Li Xiaomei being chased by those mutant beasts, and then bitten to death little by little, from beginning to end, Li Xiaomei's eyes never looked at this small pharmacy again, just stared at the shadow of the mother and son. Maybe in her heart, Zhang Hai, the original hero, has become a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and she doesn't bother to take a last look.
Looking at Li Xiaomei's corpse that disappeared into the mouth of the mutant beast little by little, Zhang Hai still just looked at it expressionlessly, but the right hand holding the steel knife could clearly see that the gauze on his hand was stained red with blood little by little, and the wound on his hand was completely cracked again because he was too hard.
Retracting his gaze, Zhang Hai didn't glance at the mother and son who were eaten at all, and returned directly to the back of the medicine cabinet, and glanced at Doctor Wang, who was expressionless and just staring at the ceiling with wide eyes, Zhang Hai silently retracted his gaze, at this moment Zhang Hai really realized the weakness of his strength, and thought that he could run rampant with his true qi cultivation, but the scene just now told Zhang Hai that he was nothing.
At this moment, Zhang Hai secretly vowed in his heart that he must become a person who can completely control his own destiny and no longer be threatened by any threat, and never let himself have such a powerless moment next time.
