Chapter 20 Human Nature II
I slept very lightly, and woke up in about three hours. Seeing that Xiao Cui beside her was still asleep, she didn't wake her up, and gently opened the door and walked out.
Hearing footsteps, Gao Jian opened his eyes and looked at me, his eyes red.
It seems that this kid has not been asleep. It's no wonder that except for me, no one can be in extreme panic and despair, and still sleep peacefully under such huge psychological pressure. At this moment, Gao Jian's face had turned pale, and his expression was a little distorted, as if he was suffering a lot.
"I seem to have a fever too."
After staring at each other for a long time, he said something in a deep voice, and his voice seemed very desperate.
"Hold on, try to get through, think more about the things that were once good, and don't put too much pressure on yourself." I really don't know how to comfort him, but I can't tell some lies to coax him, I can only slowly enlighten him to think better.
Sitting on the arm of the sofa, I lit a cigarette, looked at him, and put another one in his mouth. Because the whole person was tied up to death, I could only help him hold it and feed him one bite at a time. The two of us chatted like this, and it didn't take long to see Xu Man lying on the bed slowly waking up.
She stared blankly at the ceiling at first, then turned her head slowly, as if she hadn't figured out the situation, but asked blankly, "What's wrong with me?" ”
Seeing that Gao Jian didn't say anything, I explained to her that you had a high fever yesterday and have been in a coma, but you should be better now. She let out a "hmm", only then did she realize Gao Jian's appearance at the moment, but she didn't know why. Maybe it was because his spirit was recovering well, and his voice was no longer so weak, so he asked with a surprised face: "What are you two doing here, playing with bondage while I am asleep?" I didn't notice you had this hobby before! ”
I don't know if she was serious or joking, but at the moment none of us could laugh, and seeing that we were all serious, she also got serious and asked what was going on.
"Yesterday when we went out to get your medicine, Gao Jian was bitten." As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Xu Man's "ah", and then looked at Gao Jian blankly. I was so uncomfortable with this atmosphere that I shook my head, said you two talk slowly, and turned back to my room.
When I closed the door, I found that Xiaocui had woken up, and when she saw me coming back, she hurriedly asked me how Xu Man was.
"It's okay, she's awake."
"Well, what about Gao Jian?"
I didn't answer her immediately, I just leaned back in the chair with my eyes closed, sighed for a long time, and then said to her: "The situation is not very optimistic, there are already preliminary symptoms, maybe it can last so long because of the medicine, but it seems that sooner or later it will be"
I didn't go on, my mind was a mess. Xiao Cui didn't speak, and she didn't know what she was thinking when she lowered her eyelids. I walked over and hugged her gently, saying that all I could do now was to wait, give them more time. But I found that Xiaocui's body was trembling slightly, I straightened her and asked her what was wrong, she sobbed and asked me, "Brother Yan, one day I will too"
"Shut up." Before she could finish, I cut her off.
"I said, with me, nothing will happen to you."
Seeing that I was a little angry, Xiaocui didn't say anything, just hugged me gently, but I could still feel her trembling gently.
It's Gao Jian this time, who will be next time? The next time I go out, I probably won't be able to come back.
I silently thought in my heart, I was sad about what happened to Gao Jian, and I was worried about my tomorrow.
Xiaocui and I hugged each other quietly, no one spoke, I don't know how long it took, I heard a noise from the next room.
Worried that something was wrong, I hurriedly opened the door and rushed over. I saw that Xu Man was sitting on the edge of the bed at this time, crying and shouting at Gao Jian, and Gao Jian looked at her with a hideous face.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, do you still want to attract zombies!"
Although I don't know why they quarreled, but last time I was forced to run away by the two of them, and seeing that they started to make trouble again, I couldn't help but get angry.
"I know that it was you who desperately came back with medicine to save me, I am grateful to you, but I can't let me accompany you to die, I am still young, I still want to live well. Gao Jian, you are too selfish. ”
Obviously, the two angry people didn't listen to what I said at all, probably because they were more angry than me.
"If it weren't for you, would I have gotten to this point? If it weren't for you, would I lose my life? Am I selfish? I just want you to stay with me one last time, how selfish am I, I didn't become like this for you! Gao Jian was not to be outdone, and roared at Xu Man with a hideous face.
Seeing that I couldn't persuade him, I hurriedly asked Xiaocui to pull Xu Man to the next room, while comforting Gao Jian and saying Don't get excited, say something slowly, who knows if it's okay not to persuade him, seeing Xu Man being pulled away by Xiaocui, Gao Jian immediately pointed his gun at me when he heard my words.
"What kind of good person are you pretending to be at this time, you can go and get the medicine back alone, why do you have to pull me. Aren't you very capable, aren't you all kinds of, you must have deliberately dragged me to kill me, and then you can occupy Xu Man together. ”
"Smack"
Hearing his nonsense, I slapped him in the face, and I really got some blood out of it.
I didn't want to meet him in general, after all, we had been together for so many days, and he was a dying man at the moment. But I really can't listen to the words in the back, what kind of person do you think of my brother?
Gao Jian was stunned at first by my slap, and then gradually regained his composure.
"Can you let go of my hand?"
I think he should still be a while away from the corpse, and I am confident that even if he transforms, I can deal with his small physique, and after thinking about it, I untied his hands tied behind his back.
"Give me another cigarette."
I handed him one, lit one myself, and smoked a cigarette quietly, waiting for him to speak.
"I'm sorry Brother Yan, I was too excited to talk nonsense just now, don't take it to heart."
Halfway through his cigarette, he spoke slowly, but his voice was unusually calm. I tapped him on the shoulder, showing that I didn't care, and he slowly told him what had happened.
"I know you're going to get out of here, because it won't be long before the zombies on the other side of the river rush over. But what can you guarantee? In this world, no one can guarantee that they will be able to survive, let alone ensure the safety of others, even if you escape here, what next? Can you guarantee that you will make sure they are safe? ”
He looked at me with his eyes resting, and when he asked me this, I could only sigh helplessly, no.
"yes, you can't. You may think of yourself as the Savior, but even the Lord is not omnipotent. You're going to be in danger someday, this time it's me, but what about next time? So I think that instead of letting Xu Man flee with you, it is better to stay with me, after all, early death and late death are death. Maybe I'm really selfish, I can't stop you and Xiaocui from leaving, but what about Xu Man? I became like this for her, and I was really unwilling to think that she would leave me alone. ”
Maybe it was because he hadn't replenished his physical strength for too long, and he was too excited just now, Gao Jian had slowly weakened at this time, his voice was getting quieter and quieter, and he looked like he was about to fall asleep.
"Brother Yan, thank you for your help during this time, and finally I ask you for one thing, help me take care of Xu Man."
As if he had finally exhausted his strength, Gao Jian closed his eyes and fell down after saying the last sentence, while some clear liquid mixed with blackened blood flowed out of his nostrils and eyes.
When a man is about to die, his words are good. Looking at Gao Jian, who was silent like this, I felt sad in my heart. I don't think it's anything when I see a zombie, but I really feel heavy when I see someone I know with my own eyes, slowly experiencing that pain and then slowly dying.
I didn't make up for it because I couldn't do it. It's just that while he hasn't changed yet, he hurriedly packed up some materials in the room.
"Brother, go all the way."
Before going out, he whispered to Gao Jian, who was "dead", and then locked the door.
I moved very lightly, as if I was afraid of waking him from his sleep.
Seeing that I came back with a bunch of things, Xu Man didn't speak, maybe he was still angry. And Xiaocui hurriedly asked me how Gao Jian was.
"Alas"
I sighed, then shook my head and said in a deep voice, "He's gone." ”
The room was very quiet, there was not even an exclamation, Xiaocui and Xu Man just stared at me like this,
Immediately, Xiao Cui turned her back and cried "woo", while Xu Man stood up like crazy and rushed out. I grabbed her and calmed her down, Gao Jian was gone, and now there was a possibility of corpse transformation at any time, and it was too dangerous to go now.
I don't know how deep their relationship is, but at this moment, Xu Man completely lost the demeanor he had when he quarreled just now, just crying and screaming to let go of her, while scratching and scratching on me. Fortunately, I had enough strength to hold on to her tightly and not let her rush out.
"Let me go see him, let me go see him, please ......"
Xu Man, who may have exhausted his strength and couldn't get rid of me, slowly squatted down, covered his face and began to cry. Xiao Cui on the side also came over to comfort her with tears streaming down her face, and pulled her up with me and let her sit on the bed. I really don't know what to say in this situation, so I can only leave Xiaocui to comfort her.
I stood in the hallway, clenched my fists and slammed them against the wall until the flesh of the joints opened, and I felt a little bored. After all, part of the reason for Gao Jian's death was caused by me.
Just when I was annoyed about this, the long-lost phone ringtone suddenly came out of my pocket, and I quickly took out my mobile phone and looked at the caller number.
Damn, it's fat!
