It's a good choice. Instead of sulking at what happened just now, it's better to sit here and complain. Uncle Zhong has a belly about the size of a wine barrel; Of course, maybe it's really there. Although he is obese, his facial features are surprisingly marked, his deep eye sockets are inlaid with torch-like eyeballs, his thick eyebrows have the grace of the sharp edge of Chinese characters, his black hair is as shiny as silk, but it is a pity that his bulging cheeks make his original delicate appearance out of shape, and there is a black mole the size of a mung bean on his chin, a sloppy T-shirt and a raunchy shabby casual jacket, which looks like a down-and-out worker lazy.

Before my ass was hot, Uncle Zhong asked straight to the point: "You were the one who had a conflict with Wei Hong upstairs just now, right?" ”

Originally, I was more upright in the matter of arguing with Wei Hong, but when Uncle Zhong asked me like this, I felt a little ashamed. "yes...... Sorry ......"

"It's okay, we've all heard it down there. Wei Hong is such an acute child, just like you. Uncle Zhong waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly, "Chen Mo said that you used to get into trouble when you were in high school." ”

I glanced at Chen Mo and explained with a wry smile: "Don't listen to her nonsense......"

"How can I talk nonsense!"

"Shut up! I'm too lazy to argue with you. ”

"Du Yuheng, you are unreasonable!" Chen Mochao shouted at me, "Just like you, no one will believe you if you say that you are a good student!" ”

"I think Yuheng is a good young man." Uncle Zhong took a sip of wine and commented with a full burp.

"Look!" I proudly pulled Chen Mo to sit down. She was a little reluctant, deliberately kept a distance from me, moved her ass and sat close to Uncle Zhong, "This is not what I bragged about, right?" ”

"Actually, if there were a few more young people like Du Yuheng, we wouldn't be so embarrassed in the first place." Uncle Zhong's face showed the sadness of reminiscing about the past, and his delicate eyes were blurred and gloomy in the firelight, so that we couldn't bear to interrupt his thoughts, "At the beginning, when we withdrew from Guangxi University, there were still more than 20 people, and as a result, many people fled for their own selfishness...... If we had come together, maybe we could have built a camp that would at least protect ourselves by now. ”

"There were more than twenty of you?"

"Yes, most of them are students who have not been evacuated yet. I was in charge of driving the school bus, and Professor Zhang was a teacher at Guangxi University. Because we lost contact with the school leaders and there was no one to guide us to evacuate, we had no choice but to stay in the university's badminton hall for two days. ”

"And then?" Chen Mo had already aroused her interest, as if she was listening to her uncle's story, holding her head with her hands, staring intently at her uncle to continue to finish the story.

"The next night, a couple sneaked out of the arena without our knowledge and didn't lock the door, which ended up attracting a whole bunch of ghouls. That night was terrible......"

"How can there be such scum!" I let out a long sigh.

"There is no way, everyone has selfishness, everyone is lucky, but everyone wants to live." Uncle Zhong divided half of the sweet potatoes to me and Chen Mo, and continued, "After that day, there were only thirteen of us left. After leaving Guangxi University, our first thought was to leave Nanning in the north. I wanted to leave on the highway, but the highway intersections were blocked by abandoned vehicles, and the city center became the most dangerous death zone. Forced into desperation, we set up camp with another group of men, only to be able to loot supplies from the other survivors endlessly. We couldn't see it, so we had to break up with them and set up a base in the shopping mall at the entrance of Guangxi University. I originally planned to go out of the city to Tibet after recovering my strength, because I heard that the virus was afraid of cold, and I didn't know if it was true...... But just a few days ago, the gang that broke up with us came to us again and demanded protection money, and claimed to be a biker, which is ridiculous......"

"You're saying you're originally in league with the bikers?" I asked, wide-eyed.

"You know the bikers?"

Seeing that Uncle Zhong was so surprised, I explained unwillingly: "Wei Hong said it. ”

"Look, you still listen to what Wei Hong said quite carefully." Uncle Zhong grinned and took another sip of wine and said, "That's right, bikers." That's when they killed our friend and wounded the old and the young. One of the little girls is still a neighbor of Wei Hong's family, she and her brother got lost in the chaos, and after we took them in, she has always been very serious about doing things to repay us, she is a good child who knows how to repay us. ”

After listening to Uncle Zhong's tortuous story, I absentmindedly dialed half of the sweet potato in my hand, and the heavy and tangled mood was self-evident. I could feel Uncle Zhong staring at him for a while, he patted the dander on his body, moved his huge body like a mountain and sat side by side with me, and said earnestly as if enlightening me: "Du Yuheng, I can see that you have a great say in this group of friends of yours, even no less than the kid who is negotiating with Professor Zhang now. Wei Hong may have had some holiday with you; I don't think you trust us much either. But I really hope you can help us, at least save the kid, okay? ”

"Can you take me to see the kid?" My compassion eventually shook the way to preserve the survival of the small group.

Uncle Zhong could see that my asking this question was basically equivalent to agreeing to his request, so he stood up happily and pointed to the cubicle at the other end of the first floor of the factory with his chin, and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

Under the leadership of Uncle Zhong, Chen Mo and I came to the cubicle that should be called a ward. This small room is simply a space carved out of aluminium plywood. Inside, there are all kinds of bottles and cans, two board beds are placed on the left and right sides of the room, and a passage is squeezed out in front of the middle for people to pass through. The basin by the window was stuffed with gauze and hemostatic cotton, and the blood stains on it were already black and stinky. It's a good thing it's colder, otherwise I think it would have gotten worse.

The old man on the left side of the hospital bed estimated that his life was not long in coming, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face, which was basically no different from a dead man. The little girl on the right still looks alive, she should be younger than Zhang Wenyu, maybe just entered junior high school. It's pitiful, so young to hover on the edge of life and death, and I know the pain of being shot.

The girl's skin was tanned and blackened by the sun, and she knew at a glance that she was a sunny and lively girl, but unfortunately now she could only lie on the hospital bed and struggle with death. In a coma, her round head trembled slightly, large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, her two small lips were chapped and dull, and her slightly open mouth kept spitting out faint breath.

The woman sitting in the aisle between the two beds stood up vigilantly as soon as she saw us two strangers and Uncle Zhong enter the ward, and looked at Chen Mo and me with a look of rejection but still eager for help. Chen Mo is a very caring girl, she saw the little girl lying on the hospital bed and was dying, she immediately felt pity, paced forward and squatted at the head of the little girl's bed, as if she was carefully caring for a delicate germ to gently wipe the sweat from the girl's forehead. Seeing this, the woman hurriedly gave up her small bench to Chen Mo. The two began to talk about the girl's condition, occasionally removing the blanket that had been covering her and examining the wound wrapped in gauze to identify the location of the injury.

"The old surname is Han, and it is estimated that it won't last long, but the child's condition has been controlled, at least the bleeding has stopped." Uncle Zhong leaned into my ear and whispered, "She was shot, and the bullet didn't seem to stay in her body, I don't know if it hurt her internal organs." ”

"Which position did you hit?" I suddenly felt a bit like a surgeon asking about a new patient's condition. I have to say that I really hope that Ban Zhiyu, who knows a little medical knowledge, can be by his side at this time, if that is the case, we will not be unable to give them more effective help.

"Stomach, I don't think it hurt much."

"None of us can be sure of ......"

"She's having a fever, it's supposed to be an inflammation of the wound." Chen Mo interrupted my conversation with Uncle Zhong and said, "I remember that there were some antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs in the car, and these can be used!" ”

"Okay, I'll get it in the car later." I sighed, forgetting that I was making my own decisions.

"Let me see the old man's situation again." Chen Mo said as he turned towards the old man's hospital bed.

Then the old man suddenly spoke, trembling and intermittently saying to us, "No...... No need ......"

"What?" Chen Mo and the women beside her came to the old man's lips in surprise; Uncle Zhong and I also took a few steps closer at this time, hoping to hear what he was saying.

"I ...... I'm an old thing...... It's useless to save it......" I could hear it, these were the words that the old man said with all his strength, "You...... You keep the medicine to save ...... to save more ...... Young ......"

"We estimate that he has already injured his organs, and there is no way to remove the ......bullets in his body," Uncle Zhong said helplessly.

"Listen...... I've heard you have a lot of medicines...... Be...... Is it? ”

"That's right, so you can rest assured......"

I was just about to continue comforting the old man, but he suddenly asked, "So, do you have sleeping pills?" ”

There is only one possibility to ask us for sleeping pills at such a time...... Before I could speak, the old man continued, "Thank you...... Let me go...... Walk more comfortably......"

Chen Mo looked at me, and I looked at Uncle Zhong again, and Uncle Zhong didn't know what to say. After all, this is a life, whether he should let him live painfully or end him early, none of us dare to make up our minds easily. In any case, Chen Mo and I were outsiders to them, so I asked Uncle Zhong, "Do you want to ask the rest of you...... It's not as simple as giving or not giving drugs. ”

"No need to ask...... This...... It's my own request......" The old man could hear me, and it seemed that he was quite clear-headed.

After hesitating for a long time, Uncle Zhong had no choice but to nod and acquiesce; I went back to the car with Chen Mo to look for medicine. Long Hao and Liang Minxuan, who were guarding the car, saw that Chen Mo and I were not looking good, and they didn't want to ask one or two, but they just stood aside and watched us rummage through bags of medicines.

"Brother Heng...... Belch...... Is everything going well? Long Hao was still a little uneasy.

"Well, you stay here." I stopped what I was doing, turned around and pointed to the second floor with my eyes and asked, "Did they come out?" ”

"I don't think so......

"yes, okay."

Chen Mo, who was beside her, had already put the medicine she wanted to use in another plastic bag, she brushed her hair and said, "It's okay." ”

"Okay, then let's go first."

I left an awkward goodbye and walked away with Chen Mo carrying the medicine, and before Long Hao and Liang Minxuan could figure out the situation, we had already disappeared from their sight. After returning to the ward, Chen Mo and the woman guarding the bed gave the little girl a new hemostatic bandage and fed pills such as antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. After dealing with the life that was still strong and wanted to live, the four of us turned to the remnants of this world without intention.

As if we were performing an ancient ritual, we solemnly handed the old man more sleeping pills than the normal dose. He nodded gratefully, and without hesitation, swallowed the large pill in his hand; The woman then fed him a few mouthfuls of water so that he could swallow it. The old man muttered a few words that we could not hear, and then calmly entered the last dream of his life. His expression gradually soothed, and his sorrowful brow melted away; Maybe it's a hallucination, but I seem to feel a smile on the corner of his mouth. At this time, he had not completely passed away, and the woman with red eyes and sobbing told us that it was the most restful sleep he had slept in the past few days. We couldn't bear to stay here any longer, and after a few minutes of companionship, Chen Mo and I decided to say goodbye to this strange old man so that his friend could accompany him on this last stretch of the road.

Uncle Zhong agreed with us, and while leaving the ward with us, he told us that the woman who was guarding the bed was just the old man's nanny, and that when the crisis broke out, the old man's family abandoned him, and only the nanny was still with him, saying that he couldn't go back anyway, so it was better to continue to fulfill his last duty.

Back at the fire next to the van, we sat around again, the heavy atmosphere suppressed us, and I don't know how long we were silent, when I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind me. Uncle Zhong, who was sitting across from me, couldn't help but straighten up and look behind me, his face looked wrong, which just sounded the last alarm for me.

When I looked back, I saw Wei Hong walking towards us angrily, and this familiar murderous aura was obviously aimed at me. Sure enough, as soon as I stood up, a heavy punch landed on my face unbiasedly. A thrust caused me to lose my center of gravity and fall to the ground, a stream of heat trickling out of my nostrils; Hehe, this time I finally have a reason to cover up my nosebleed.

Wei Hong's punch was not small, but it was not so strong that I fell to the ground. I covered my blood-red nose and slowly stood up, Chen Mo beside me was already so frightened that I couldn't speak, and Uncle Zhong was also shouting behind my back why Wei Hong hurt people.

"You fucking bastard! Actually fed our people sleeping pills! Wei Hong pointed at me and scolded.

"Wei Hong! This is Han Gong's own request, don't beat people indiscriminately without figuring out the situation! ”

"Uncle Zhong, why are you helping outsiders talk!" Wei Hong glared at Uncle Na, and then pointed the finger at me again, "Tell you, I'm not done with you today!" ”

"Hehehe, I haven't fought for a long time, and my hands are itchy." I threw away the rifle that straddled my back, wiped my nosebleed, and the ** on my face made my restrained mood boil instantly, "Don't you just want to fight with me?" Come on! ”

As soon as the words fell, I kicked my leg and pounced on Wei Hong; Before he could react, I threw him to the ground. As soon as the two of them landed, I gave him two punches in the face as a salute just now. Unexpectedly, he slammed his hand into my face, which was riding on him, and gave me another side punch in the face. As soon as my leg on top of him came loose, he was set free.

Pulling away, we tacitly gasped for breath and scuffled again. The sound of tearing clothes and our angry roars came and went, and the flying dust was just raised and stained with flying blood. Maybe it's because we're both full of resentment toward each other, and we're merciless in each other's attacks; However, both our striking style and the position of our punches were strikingly similar, so much so that a few times the punches we gave to the opponent were just right back with the punches that flew in.

After all, it's all young people fighting, and there won't be any rules and routines at all, and after a few rounds of fighting, we can't grasp the timing of each other's flaws, and we can't tell the winner for a while. However, in terms of physical strength, I was obviously better than Wei Hong, and I could feel that my strength was better than Wei Hong's, and the exhaustion made him flawed at this time, and his steps were chaotic when he tripped me with a shovel step. I knew that he was definitely not on his feet, so I gave him a rabbit falcon. This kick made him take a few steps back, clutching his chest and kneeling on one knee, and he couldn't breathe for a long time. I seized the opportunity and rushed forward to give Wei Hong a jump. In his panic, he casually hit me in the neck, choking me and making me fall backwards with difficulty breathing for a while. The two of us each took a few steps back, and then he suddenly realized that he was wearing the Han sword at his waist. I immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, and I could naturally take it when I fought with my bare hands, but it was not easy to deal with a guy with a sword.

Wei Hong spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and proudly drew his sword and pointed it at me. That's not fair, isn't it? I complained in my heart, and my mind frantically searched for a strategy to deal with it. But Wei Hong had already begun to act at this time, and he flew towards me with his sword raised; Chen Mo and Uncle Zhong who were standing next to them were dumbfounded, I think their minds had already begun to set up various scenes of my tragic death at this time.

What to do! I looked down and scanned anything around me that I could use, and I found a weapon that could turn the tide - my rifle! Unexpectedly, after a few rounds of fighting, I happened to be standing next to the rifle I had thrown away. Without further consideration, I crouched down and picked up my rifle, and by this time Wei Hong was already in front of me, and the wind that came with him rushed towards me like a warning. I had loaded my rifle before I entered the building. I expertly opened the safety and raised the muzzle of the gun to aim it at Wei Hong's head. Seeing the cold muzzle, Wei Hong was also shocked, and the sword he swung also hesitated at this time. I crooked my mouth and smiled, thinking to myself, you're a bastard.

There was a bang, and everything was calm again......
