Volume 1 Section 36 Suicide
The zombies gathered around the perimeter of the building were quickly wiped out. Stepping on the soft ground that had not yet been leveled, and the slimy flesh and bones, Su Hao strode into the first floor of the building.
At the bottom of the stairs leading to the rooftop, two zombies are surrounding a dying middle-aged man. They ate very attentively, and they didn't notice Su Hao and the others walking behind them.
Zhou Chen directly blew the head of one of the zombies. Chen Kun pulled out the steel bar from the sand pile next to him, roared and rushed over, stabbing the head of the zombie with a piece of meat in his mouth, and slamming it into the opposite wall.
The man's chest was torn open, and the huge wound extended to his shoulder, revealing pink lungs, and even through the gap between his ribs, he could see his heart contracting, beating.
A trace of pity flashed in Su Hao's eyes, and he stared at the man silently for a few seconds. From the other party's eyes that were still breathing of life, he saw hope and excitement.
The zombies have been killed. Saved, isn't it?
Su Hao looks like a calm sculpture. His face was expressionless, and his breathing was shallow enough to move his chest to rise and fall.
"Sorry! You're badly hurt. No one can save you. β
Shaking his head, Su Hao held the hunting knife in his right hand and plunged it directly into the man's throat, and cut it horizontally hard, cutting off the stunned head from the neck.
If it was just a bite on the outside of his body, maybe it could save him. However, even with blood flowing all over his body, Su Hao could not recover the man's seriously injured physical function. The only thing that can be done is to let him die a little faster and minimize the pain
The iron grille leading to the roof of the building is locked. The moment Su Hao raised his feet and walked up the steps, several black figures immediately flashed on the side of the fence. There were two people with guns in their hands, and the others were mostly armed with steel bars and iron pipes. Their faces were full of ecstasy and shock, and their lips and bodies trembled slightly.
"Stop! Who are you? β
Chen Erzhu felt his face burning, which indicated that there was a lot of blood rushing to the top of his head. Even he couldn't tell himself, why did he shout viciously at Su Hao, who was standing on the steps? It was obvious ββββ these people killed all the zombies downstairs, they saved themselves and everyone who fled to the rooftop.
What can be done
It's an instinct born of fear. People who have been in a dangerous environment for a long time have a hard time trusting strangers in a short period of time.
"Don't Shootββββ"
Su Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, put away his hunting knife, and said seriously to the people waiting on the other side of the fence: "I saw that flag, so I rushed over." Hopefully, it's not too late. β
As a traverser, Su Hao was able to understand the thoughts of these survivors. Strengthened mental agility and physical abilities can be used to dodge attacks at close range. With full attention, the gun in the opponent's hand did not pose any threat to him. Just keep an eye on the finger that pulls the trigger to avoid the bullet in time.
There was silence for about three minutes, and the locked fence was pushed open from the inside.
Chen Erzhu pounced, hugged Su Hao's shoulders tightly, and cried like a childββββ after the momentary hostility subsided, strong gratitude and happiness poured into his brain like a tide, drowning all thoughts.
"Let's go! Get out of here. β
Su Hao kept urging these people whose nerves were almost broken, and Chen Kun and Zhou Chen supported the survivors who were physically weak and walked downstairs. It's a dangerous place, and there may be a horde of zombies at some point, and the survivors of the prolonged hunger are malnourished, yellow-skinned, and even a little swollen.
Zhang Jilin sat slumped next to the solar water storage tank, looking at them with a blank expression.
Su Hao walked over, looked at the injury on his leg, didn't speak, and directly grabbed the other party's right hand to help him up. Zhang Jilin was obviously very resistant to this kind of action. He gritted his teeth and writhed to pull his arm back, screaming like madness: "Put me down! Put it down! Put down ββββ"
Su Hao was a little surprised, he let go of his hand, stood aside, and looked at this man with a sad face and a pale face very strangely.
Chen Erzhu walked to Su Hao's side, glanced at Zhang Jilin with a complicated expression, and whispered: "He is our boss and a good person." β
After saying that, without further explanation, he turned around and walked down the stairs.
It was very windy on the rooftop.
At such a close distance, Su Hao clearly saw ββββ Zhang Jilin's face looking up at the sky was full of tears, as if he was praying and as if he was repenting.
"You guys, let's go! Leave me alone for a while. β
He didn't look at Su Hao who was standing next to him, and muttered to himself.
Su Hao frowned, his gaze swept over the other party's swollen injured leg, and said, "Don't worry about the injury on your leg, we have a way to deal with it, you won't become a zombie." β
Zhang Jilin turned his head. The expression on his face was calm, but Su Hao could feel the despair and sorrow buried deep in his body. He looked at Su Hao and barely squeezed out a smile: "Let's go!" Leave me here alone. β
At this moment, Su Hao seemed to see those friends who died in the future era. Their expressions before dying were the same as the man in front of them, shrouded in an unknown shadow.
He took a deep breath, tried to clear his thoughts, and pulled the gun out of its holster.
Seeing this action, Zhang Jilin, who was numb, laughed again. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and cleared his throat, but because of his weak body, his voice became hoarse: "Xie Lu Xie!" Don't bother, don't waste bullets for me, I can do it myself. β
Su Hao was silent for a moment and said, "We can go together." We had plenty of food, water, and a safe place to stay. Everything is going to be fine. β
Zhang Jilin was still smiling: "Xie Luxie." β
His voice was firm, more serious than anything Su Hao had ever heard before.
Su Hao sighed and stopped insisting. He stared at the man silently for a few seconds, then turned to leave.
Except for Zhang Jilin, the rooftop was empty.
He listened carefully to the footsteps on the stairs getting farther and farther away, struggled to climb to the edge of the rooftop, leaned out of the fence, and watched the people walk into the buggy, start, and drive out of the construction site, farther and farther away
At this moment, the world was unprecedentedly calm.
He climbed down the fence and pulled out a suitcase from under the solar water heater guard. The moment he skillfully opened the combination lock and lifted the lid of the box, stacks of neatly stacked red banknotes were revealed.
The numbers are huge, hundreds of thousands.
Zhang Jilin stroked the banknote with a trembling hand, his eyes full of emotion.
When the virus broke out, he just withdrew the money from the bank to distribute it to workers and company subordinates as benefits. Because, at the beginning of the second month from that time, it is "June 1st" Children's Day.
Chen Erzhu is rightββββ he is indeed a good boss and a good person.
Zhang Jilin's mind replays the images of the pastββββ there are joys, quarrels, and cold and warm memories of his son, wife, relatives and family.
"I'm so stupid! What's the use of making that much money? Why don't you spend more time with them? β
He was talking to himself, with tears in his eyes, but his expression and eyes were smiling.
He reached out and took the bills out of the suitcase, tore off the bundles of papers, and tossed them high and far away. Above the unfinished roof of the building, a red curtain suddenly flew in the wind.
There is no longer a shadow of the off-road vehicle.
The expression on Zhang Jilin's face was very satisfied and full of anticipation. He felt like he had finally thrown away his heaviest baggage, and it was so easy that he felt like he could almost fly like a bird.
He climbed back to the edge of the rooftop, propped his upper body up with his hands, and leaned out to look at the abyss-like floor below. Turning his head again, he glanced at the world world that had been infinitely nostalgic, and jumped down with tears and smiles
The off-road vehicle slowly drove down the familiar passage into the ground, and the left-behind personnel who received the message via the on-board radio were already standing at the top of the stairs. They picked up the frail rescuers from the car and slowly helped them into the rooms on the first floor.
Lao Song once mentioned that another temporary camp should be set up nearby to accommodate new team members. Because no one can see through the thoughts in each other's hearts, everyone has their own interests and demands. As the team expands and the number of personnel increases, various contradictions and difficulties will arise. If the construction of the camp outside the city has not yet been completed, the new recruits can only find another empty house.
Su Hao had already chosen a building more than ten stories high across the street. It turned out to be a hotel, and you only need to lead the people to empty the zombies inside, and you can get enough space for hundreds of people.
Li Xiaomei boiled a big pot of porridge. She was very skilled in dealing with such things, and knew what she should do at such a time, and what the people who had been rescued from the outside would need.
There were hanging bottles hanging at the heads of the six beds, and Zhou Chen injected each of them in order. The liquid in the bottle was glucose, and along with the intravenous syringes, it was brought back from a nearby pharmacy or medical supply company.
Zhou Chen is a very professional doctor, and the first aid plan he proposed is more in line with the physiological structure of the human body, and has also been recognized by all core members of the team, and was even required by Su Hao to be used as a system.
"These people are very strong, but they lack nutrition. Four people fainted on the road, and two were bitten by zombies, which were not fatal, but there were already signs of a rise in body temperature, and they had to be injected with immunization agents as soon as possible. β
Standing in front of Su Hao, Zhou Chen was a little nervous. It's not because I'm afraid of Su Hao's strong force, it's just that I'm worried that if I can't get the medicine, the two injured people can only be infected and mutated in the end.
Su Hao walked into his exclusive room on the second floor, took out ten pre-prepared immune pills from the corner of the wall, left the room, and walked downstairs to hand them to Zhou Chen.
"You'll be in charge of these things in the future. If it's not enough, ask me again. β
Zhou Chen was a little surprised, and also felt the attention and trust from Su Hao. He nodded earnestly and turned to leave
By the time night fell, the hectic atmosphere in the small building had returned to calm.
The glucose sling vial injection did work, and the six people who were rescued from the construction site quickly regained consciousness. They sat on the bed and drank porridge silently, and there was no joy on their faces after being rescued, only numbness and exhaustion.
Almost all of them gathered at the door of the room, looking at the rescued people with pity and silence who had a similar fate to their own. Especially Chen Kun and others, who were rescued from the bathing center, were full of sympathy in their eyes, and they were faintly happy and emotional.
A middle-aged man in his thirties first put down an empty porridge bowl. He was slender and tall, and his skeleton protruded from under his skin, which did not have much fat. The skin is dark, and the facial features are very gentle and thin.
"Thank you!"
He looked around at the crowd standing around him a little blankly, fixed his gaze on Su Hao, who was obviously the leader, smiled weakly, and said, "Xie Lu, thank you for your porridge, it's very delicious." β
Su Hao nodded lightly and asked, "What's your name?" β
"Dong Guoping."
Probably because of the physical exertion, the man's voice sounded a little hoarse.
Su Hao continued to ask: "Are there any other survivors at that construction site?" β
Dong Guoping shook his head tiredly, and a sad look appeared on his pale face: "At the beginning, there were more than eighty of us in total. The dead are dead, scattered, and people keep leaving. If this continues, we don't know how long the road will last. Maybe I mean, maybe, if you guys are a few hours late, we'll all jump off that building, hehe, and kill ourselves instead of being eaten by those monsters. β
There was silence in the room, and even the rhythm of breathing became smooth.
At this moment, Su Hao couldn't help but think of the homeless people who toiled for food and water in the wilderness in the future era. He sighed secretly, returned his gaze to the man opposite, and said calmly, "Now, what are your plans?" β
He didn't want to repeat the mistakes made in the people rescued in the bathing centerββββ instead of splitting the team because of disagreement, it was better to stifle the danger now and give the other side a choice.
Dong Guoping exchanged glances with the others lying on the hospital bed, raised his head, solemnly replied, and replied expectantly: "If we can, we want to join you." β
Xinyan stood up from the crowd of onlookers at the door, walked behind Su Hao, and said seriously: "There is one thing that must be explainedββββ we are all refugees in this city like you. There are no rescuers here, and no one will ever come to our rescue. Food, shelter, security, everything, we have to do it all by ourselves. β
"Actually, we've already thought of it."
Next to him, Chen Erzhu, who had been injected with immunization drugs and had a shoulder wound wrapped in bandages, interjected: "On the day when the chaos just began, a motorcade passed by outside the construction site. I was buying cigarettes in a roadside store. Listening to the traffic police who maintained order, it was a business delegation to the Thai consulate in Kunming. It seems that there is also a figure like the deputy mayor in it. The situation was very large, there were police cars on the road, all Audi and BMW died very badly, many cars crashed together, how to say it, they are all dignitaries with status, and those people's lives must be worth more than ours. Although I don't have a high level of education, I know some truthsββββ even if they are dead, and no one cares about their corpses thrown on the street to rot and stink, and no one will care about us as a small character. β
The words are rough, but they make a lot of sense.
Another worker with a rough voice nodded: "There has been no news from the people who left the construction site. The situation in other places is probably similar here. β
Dong Guoping stood up from the bed, his hands clenched into fists, and his weak physique made his standing posture a little unstable. He exhaled a long breath, looked at Su Hao seriously, gritted his teeth, and roared sincerely and fiercely: "We will not make excessive demands." We just want to kill the damn monsters and kill them all! β
Looking at this face that was as hideous as a desert savage, full of murderous intent and hatred, Su Hao nodded, stepped forward, and held the other party's hand firmly and hard
The lives of the survivors go on.
The six new members who have just joined have brought unexpected benefits to the teamββββ they are very good at engineering construction, and Dong Guoping is an experienced senior engineer.
After a visit to a field camp under construction, they came up with a lot of opinions and opinions.
"The foundation was dug too deep. From a security point of view, it is enough to increase the firmness of the perimeter walls. And there is so much waste of material that it is simply not necessary. β
"The house was too practical, the warehouse was not built properly, and it had to be redesigned."
"Water and sewage pipes have to be connected from both directions. The terrain is very high, and it is better to have a septic tank far away from the residential area. The original reserved passage is also too narrow, and it is better to double the original one. β
After everyone's unanimous approval, Su Hao very simply announced that Dong Guoping would be fully responsible for all the work in the field camp. At the same time, he also proposed that the new camp must put the issue of "solidity" in the first place. In particular, the walls built around the camp must be tall enough to withstand the tremendous force impact
Collecting supplies is the most important part of daily life.
The "Carrefour" supermarket, which is closest to the bank building, has basically been emptied. Most of the supplies obtained from there were food and clothing. They are loaded onto trucks and transported directly to field camps. Once the warehouses and living rooms are built, these indispensable materials will be enough to sustain consumption for more than two years.
Chen Erzhu and Tao Yuan got two other excavators. It took them two weeks to dig a huge pit of astonishing size to the south of the camp. Then, four other team members drove four heavy-duty trucks to load coal from the suburban train freight station and dump it in the hollow. To paraphrase Lao Song's original words: "We must take precautions and reserve heating fuel for winter in advance." β
All team members were given immunization agents. Except for Lao Song, no one knew that this medicinal liquid was actually Su Hao's blood. Many people felt excited, and Su Hao also chose the appropriate opportunity to disclose the strengthening effect of silver bones on the immune. At this point, everyone who joined in chronological order has been empowered. The strongest of them is still Su Hao.
(This week's essence has been added.)
