Chapter 38: A City Without Man's Land (35) Missing
Getting back in the car and sitting down, we drove in the direction of the color TV tower while looking for pharmacies along the way.
Along the way, we saw three or four pharmacies, each of which we carefully probed and looted all the contraceptives in them, whether urgent, short-term or long-term.
Uh, why do you think it's so perverted?
Well, even if the duration of the drug is a little different, it is certainly true that every birth control pill contains estrogen, so every birth control pill is useful for us.
After scavenging half a sack of birth control pills, we returned to the color TV tower. Stopping the car, Wolf Tooth and Lin Ya took all the supplies and got down from the car and walked into the stairwell, looking like they didn't want to care about Mecca at all.
I looked at Mecca with some worry, he now has a leg injury, and it is not easy for him to move. And the more than 1,000 stairs were hard enough for me to climb on my own, not to mention that I had to find a way to get him up too.
"Sister Mo Li, are you going to take the stairs up?" As I was racking my brains to think of a solution, Mecca whispered, probably because he saw the height of the tower and the way I was embarrassed, and guessed that I was worried about how to get him up, "It's okay, I can walk up on my own." ”
Mecca was about to get up from the saddle as she spoke, and I hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Are you really okay?" If you really can't do it, I'll carry you up, right? ”
Thankfully, Mecca was only a little taller than me, and he was on the thin side, so I might be able to carry him on my back if I gritted my teeth.
"No, I can." Mecca smiled and rejected my offer, bleeding so much that his face was as white as a piece of paper, and there was not the slightest trace of blood.
"Let's go. If you can't hold on, remember to let me know. ”
After all, I'm a physical waste who needs the help of others to go up and down this staircase by himself, and if I really have to carry Mecca on my back, it is estimated that walking a dozen steps at a time is the limit, and the best way is of course that he can walk up on his own, but with his current physical condition, can he really do it?
Fortunately, Wolf Tooth and Lin Ya still remembered to leave us two flashlights, I carried one flashlight in my pocket, and the other in my hand, holding Mecca and began to challenge the thousand-step staircase.
Every step of the steps in Mecca was a difficult challenge, and although it took physical strength to support him, I walked very slowly to match his speed, not as tiring as I would normally climb.
Therefore, under the offset of the two, my physical strength was barely equal, and I did not have the same embarrassment as when I climbed the stairs for the first time, but I was still sweating.
I don't know how many stairs I climbed just like that, and there seemed to be some other sounds and breaths in the wind. I thought I could faintly hear the sound of water droplets in the howling of the wind, and when I sniffed it carefully, there seemed to be a little fishy sweetness in the air.
"Mecca, did you hear anything? It's not the sound of the wind, it's the sound of water droplets. I asked Mecca to see if it was my delusion.
Mecca's voice came from the darkness on the right, sounding extremely weak and tired, "No, no, Sister Moli, you heard it wrong, it's just the sound of the wind." Even if there is, it is probably because of the seepage there, after all, with such a long passage, it is not surprising that there is water seepage in some places. ”
"How can it be watery, this is not an underground passage, it is not raining, and I didn't hear the sound of dripping water when I left last time." I frowned, not believing Mecca's speculation, "And I also smell some fishy sweetness, which I always feel familiar with, and I can't tell what it is."
"Maybe it's the smell of the wind."
I didn't think much of it when I heard Mecca's answer, after all, I had only walked through this staircase two or three times, and I didn't know much about it, so even if there was any sound or smell, it should be normal.
With this in mind, I stopped bothering with the dripping sound and the fishy smell, and continued to climb the stairs at the speed of the Mecca tortoise.
However, after climbing two more steps, another voice came to my ears.
"Wait," I called to Mecca to listen, and there was a faint sound of footsteps from the top of the stairs, "did you hear that?" Footsteps? ”
"I hear you." Mecca replied softly, proving that the voice I had heard was there.
Who will the footsteps be? Forest cliffs? Or wolf teeth? There can't be anyone else, right?
After all, darkness is the best place to hide dangers, and it's better to be on the safe side. I helped Mecca to sit down against the wall, and with my left hand I took a flashlight to shoot the farthest I could reach above the stairs, and in my right hand I pulled out the knife I carried with me at the request of the wolf's fangs, guarding the owner of the footsteps above.
As time passed, the sound of footsteps from above became clearer and clearer, and I made it closer to see that it was the footsteps of two people. Are the two of them Wolf Tooth and Lin Ya?
When another beam of light appeared in the darkness, the silhouettes of the two figures loomed behind that light.
"Mo Li, it's us."
Hearing Lin Ya's familiar voice, I finally put my mind at ease, and put away the knife in my hand with a sigh of relief, only to find that my palms were already full of cold sweat.
Lin Ya, who approached, also saw my action of putting away the knife, and after being stunned for a moment, he joked, "Mo Li, there are only a few of us alive here, as for this grass and trees, are all soldiers?" ”
Maybe it's because I'm all in the woods, the danger here is far beyond my expectations, and I can't settle myself down or let my guard down in this environment.
"No, she did the right thing."
Hearing the sound of wolf fangs, I subconsciously looked in his direction, and his whole body was hidden in the darkness behind the light, and I could only faintly see the outline of his body, and I couldn't see the expression on his face at all. Before I could say anything, I heard Wolf Fang speak to me again.
He said, "If there is such a situation next time, remember to take out your knife as well." ”
"Well, are you here to help?" I promised and reached out and touched the knife on my body, I really didn't expect that one day I would need to be injured and hold the knife to give myself security, maybe this day won't last long or should I pray that this day will continue?
"Well, we can't really watch you carry Mecca by yourself." Lin Ya sighed, a little helpless in his tone.
After he finished speaking, he leaned down and crouched down beside Mecca, squatting down with his back to Mecca, "Come, I'll carry you up." ”
"Well, thank you." Mecca wasn't polite, but considering the injury on his leg, I'm afraid he didn't have any conditions to be polite.
Lin Ya handed the flashlight to Mecca, let Mecca lie on his back, and then picked up Mecca and climbed up first, "I'll carry him up first, you guys should come over quickly." ”
"Ah, okay." I promised to keep climbing, "Let's go too." ”
After saying goodbye to the wolf's teeth, I turned around and continued my stair-climbing business, but I didn't expect that as soon as I took a step, the world swirled again, and the flashlight in my hand changed hands in an instant.
It's a feeling I'm all too familiar with - the wolf's fangs are carrying me like a sandbag again.
"Hey, I'll go! Wolf tooth, your uncle! Put me down on my own and I can walk on my own! ”
The tragic experience of "dizziness" before is still vivid, so the moment I reacted to being carried by the wolf tooth guy again, I burst into foul mouths without holding back.
However, the wolf's fangs didn't seem to hear at all, and just blindly climbed up as fast as they could. I wanted to scold a few more words, but the stroke in the passage was relatively large, coupled with the wind brought by the speed of the wolf's teeth, I poured a mouthful of wind into my mouth, so after being poured twice, I could only obediently close my mouth and slander this bastard in my heart.
When I finally came out of the stairwell to the third floor, I felt like I had a new lease of life when I saw the sunlight coming in through the window. I didn't climb up on my own, but I was slumped on the ground like last time. Not much thanks to the bastard Wolf Fang, the last time I was paralyzed on the ground I rubbed my legs, and this time I was paralyzed on the ground and I rubbed my stomach.
"Mo Li, wolf fang, come and take a look, Mecca's wound is bleeding again, what should I do if I can't stop it?"
Before I could organize the words to condemn the wolf fangs, Lin Ya's voice came.
Wounds in Mecca? Didn't I tell you not to hold it up, this stinky boy!
Unable to bother with the wolf's fangs for a while, I got up from the ground and hurried to Mecca.
The lower half of his wounded leg was completely soaked with blood, and there was even blood dripping from the edge of the corner of his pants to the ground, making a ticking sound. As I got closer, the thick sweet smell of blood filled my nose, and now I finally knew where the sounds I had heard and smelled had come from.
I looked at Mecca's face, which seemed to be paler than what I had seen in the car before, and even gave me the illusion that he was about to die. When he saw Oh coming, he looked up and smiled at me.
Looking at Mecca's smile, instead of feeling comforted, I felt an unquenchable anger. Even when I was pushed by him at that time, I didn't feel angry, but now I am surprisingly angry when I see him behaving like this.
"Aren't you stupid! Didn't I tell you not to hold on! "You can hold on to the stairs, and you can hold me up so I don't want to die!" If you want to find death, you can say it directly! I'll save you the rest! ”
I couldn't help but raise my hand to hit Mecca, but his pale face and brighter smile made me unable to do it, I was really angry at him for not caring for his body, but I also knew that he didn't want to burden me by doing so, and he was doing everything he could to repay me for helping him. He's like a kid who has done something wrong with good intentions, and how can I do anything about him with such a heart?
Weakly lowered his raised hand, looking at Mecca like this, he could only hold back his anger. Fortunately, when I was looking for contraceptive pills in the pharmacy before, I deliberately found some other medicine powder to stop bleeding, and now it is just right to shoot.
From the pile of supplies brought up by Lin Ya and Wolf Fang, he found the hemostatic medicine powder at that time, and squatted beside Mecca to treat his wounds again. Maybe I should say something to Mecca, at least don't let him do such stupid things again.
"Mecca." I looked up into his eyes, "I saved your life, then I want you to give me one life back, and before I give me one life, your life belongs to me, not to you." Unless you die for me, you will take care of your own life for me. ”
