Chapter 187: Stabilizing the Situation (3)

In the middle of the large army, on the military vehicles where the wounded were housed.

It was a military truck for loading, and the limited space was filled with wounded soldiers.

Unlike the usual treatment of wounded soldiers, none of these soldiers stayed comfortably in the carriage, their hands and feet were firmly tied with ropes, and even their mouths were covered with special protective gear.

It's like a mad beast, a soldier whose wounds are still bleeding.

On the other hand, there was no trace of dissatisfaction in the eyes of the soldiers, and under the despair of resigning their fate, there was still a little strong desire to survive.

Ma Long sat cross-legged at the entrance of the carriage, the strange stick that was used to kill the secondary infected body had already been returned to Ji Donghai, and the only weapon on his body was the pistol on his waist.

Although he was now in a state of bare hands, Ma Long still calmly closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he was not afraid of the soldiers around him who were about to transform into corpses.

Xu Xiaoxiao walked back and forth outside the car, looking inside the car from time to time, the curiosity and worry in his eyes flashed continuously, and he wanted to say something several times, but he felt the silent atmosphere in the carriage, and forcibly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the front of the car, like a series of rapid drumbeats, and came to the rear of the car.

"Are all the wounded here?"

Qiu Qianjun's inquiry sounded from outside, Ma Long's brows raised slightly, opened his closed eyes, and looked back.

After the battle, he did not go to rest as soon as possible, but first met with Zhang Jike and informed him of the whole story.

Ma Long knows very well that the current zombie crisis has come to an end temporarily, but the crisis hidden in the large army is beginning to move.

In the current situation, Ma Long's idea is very simple, that is, to stabilize Qiu Qianjun's position as the leader and prevent the emergence of infighting.

And in his hand, he just had the chips to prevent the infighting.

That is the strength of a first-order ability.

Although a first-order ability person can't explain anything, if two first-order ability people appear in Qiu Qianjun's camp, it will be of great help to the stability of his leadership.

In the brief description of Zhang Jike, Ma Long only briefly mentioned that Qiu Qianjun was disguised as a person with the ability of the brain domain enhancement system, and he did not think that this would have any big impact on the development of subsequent events.

After all, there were two first-order capable people who appeared in Qiu Qianjun's team, and whether the identity of the team leader was true or not seemed to become less important.

However, this also has a certain drawback, that is, they are tied to Qiu Qianjun's chariot, and if something happens in the future, it is very likely that they will be implicated.

However, the situation is urgent, and the lesser of two evils is intersected, so we can only do this first, and then take one step at a time.

But as it turned out, Malone was wrong.

Thanks to Zhang Jike's thoughtfulness, he saw the loopholes in Qiu Qianjun's disguise, and when he talked to Dugu Po and Duan Yun, he just rightly fulfilled this lie.

The fact that Qiu Qianjun was disguised as a brain domain enhancer was not revealed, nor did he let Ma Long and the others tie up Qiu Qianjun's chariot.

After all, Zhang Jike didn't say anything like "I'm on Captain Qiu's side" at that time.

Although the meaning of the alliance with the other side is clear, there are some things that are not explicitly said, and there will always be room for maneuver.

"It's all here, except for a brother who is too infected......"

Marlon's voice was not loud, but it was unusually clear in the quiet carriage.

"There are special drugs here, which can resist the infection of the secondary virus to a certain extent, and give it to the brothers."

Qiu Qianjun followed the voice to find Ma Long sitting in the carriage and nodded slightly

Bowing his head, he ordered another soldier.

"Miracle medicine?"

The soldiers who heard the order were also stunned, and reflexively took the cloth bag handed by Qiu Qianjun.

The time for the march of the large army is not a day or two, and Captain Qiu still has a special medicine to treat virus infection in his hand, why has he never heard of it?

However, the duty of a soldier has always been to obey orders, and even if there are many doubts in his heart, the soldier only hesitates for a moment and immediately sets out to carry it out.

Many of the infected soldiers had already developed symptoms of high fever before taking the medicine, and the most serious soldier had bulging black veins on his face.

The aspirin in the cloth bag was quickly distributed to several soldiers, who then split up to feed the wounded soldiers in the carriage.

There was not a single superfluous nonsense in the whole process, and everyone was nervously waiting for the result.

Time passed slowly in waiting, and the wounded soldiers closed their eyes tightly, feeling the changes taking place in their bodies; Qiu Qianjun and the others scanned back and forth over the faces of the soldiers, trying to find signs that the symptoms of infection were improving.

However, things don't seem to be going as Qiu Qianjun imagined.

After the soldiers took one or two aspirin, the high fever on their bodies did not relieve, but the black blood vessels on the face of the most infected soldier began to slowly disappear.

But the state of the whole person is still very abnormal, and patches of blood begin to emerge under the miserable white skin, like a drunk man who drinks on his face, and his whole face is flushed.

"What's going on, why haven't the symptoms been relieved after taking the medicine?"

The surrounding soldiers all cast puzzled glances at Qiu Qianjun, and the leader could only pretend to be calm, as if these reactions were in his expectation.

In fact, Qiu Qianjun's heart was more worried than any soldier, and he didn't know at all that the medicine given by Zhang Jike could have a certain effect.

The reason why it was said to be a special medicine for the treatment of viral infections at the beginning was just to give those injured soldiers a small comfort in their hearts.

Just when Qiu Qianjun was about to say something to ease the embarrassing atmosphere of the scene, Ma Long, who had been sitting cross-legged in place, suddenly stood up from the spot and walked straight to the innermost part of the carriage.

"How do you feel physically?"

Malone spoke to a young soldier with a bandage on his arm, and his injuries looked severe, because even with the thick bandages, blood could still be seen seeping through them.

"I feel...... The wound hurts...... Also, it's so hot......"

"What else?"

Like a visiting doctor, Malone patiently inquired about every detail.

"No ......"

"Okay, stay awake at all times, and report anything wrong."

The soldier with the bandage on his arm nodded, but then a look of confusion appeared on his face.

Isn't your situation a normal phenomenon that should occur after taking medication?

But before the soldier could ask questions, Malone walked away from him and asked a similar question to a wounded soldier beside him.

"I also felt very hot...... And the wound hurts......"

Through the thick protective gear, the soldier answered truthfully.

I asked several questions in a row, and I got similar answers.

It wasn't until it was the turn of the most wounded soldier that the answer changed slightly.

"I feel so sleepy...... The eyelids are so heavy......"

"Sleepy?"

As if he heard what he wanted to hear, Ma Long's eyes lit up and he immediately spoke.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"If you have a dream, remember the details of the dream as much as possible, and write it down when you wake up."

"What?"

The soldier who was most seriously injured obviously didn't understand Ma Long's intention to let him do this, and subconsciously asked aloud.

In fact, in the soldier's cognition, he had already been sentenced to death.

Of all the injured, he was the most seriously injured and the virus outbreak was the earliest.

Although he had taken the special medicine distributed by Qiu Qianjun, the soldier knew very well in his heart that the team leader probably just wanted to give them some comfort so that they would not be in so much pain before the corpse transformation.

"I may fall asleep and never wake up again......"

The soldier smiled wryly and whispered.

He is still very young, he has not even had a girlfriend, and he planned to take the discharge money back to his hometown to ask for a wife, get married and have children, and live an ordinary life that ordinary people should live.

But I didn't expect the catastrophe to break out, disrupting the trajectory of the original things.

I'm afraid that it will be difficult for him to have a chance to ask for a wife and live an ordinary and ordinary life.

Even returning to his hometown has become a luxury.

"No, you'll wake up."

Just as all the light was about to fade from the soldier severely, Malone's powerful words sounded in front of him, not loud, but enough for the desperate soldier to hear clearly.

It's like being in a deep pool of darkness, throwing in a beam of extremely penetrating sunlight.

"Remember, if you have a dream, you must remember everything that happened in the dream."

After saying this, Malone walked towards the next soldier and continued to repeat the previous question.

The questioning of all the wounded soldiers was not long, nor was it short, and after asking the last soldier, Ma Long's brows furrowed deeply.

Of the 36 soldiers who were infected with the secondary virus as a result of their injuries, only eight responded that they experienced symptoms of drowsiness, while the rest felt pain from their wounds and had a fever all over their bodies.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong, but that it is the drowsiness reaction that is a sign of failure to resist?"

The reason why Ma Long asked the wounded soldiers how they felt after taking the medicine one by one was to compare it with how they felt after taking the medicine.

Because he had a drowsiness reaction after taking the drug, and later became a reinforcer.

That's why Malone subconsciously thinks that the drowsiness reaction means that the body has successfully resisted the secondary virus.

But only eight of the 36 soldiers had a drowsiness reaction, and the probability of the drug resisting the virus is too low, according to his idea, there should be at least a 50% probability that the infected person can successfully resist the virus after taking the drug.

But in any case, these speculations and ideas have always lingered in Malone's head, and he has not told anyone else.

In such a sensitive atmosphere as now, any slight disturbance will cause an uproar.

After pondering for a long time, Ma Long still came to Qiu Qianjun and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Is it really necessary?"

Qiu Qianjun's brows furrowed deeply after listening to Ma Long's whispering.

"Let's separate, lest there be any accidents, we can't afford to lose......"

Malone took a deep breath, as if he had done something very tired, returned to the carriage, and sat down cross-legged.

"You two, take two more and ......transfer Zhao Hang, Zhu Zhan, Zhao Zhiqi, Wang Mingming, Wang Zidan, Wang Xiao, Xiang Yang, and Hu Tengye from the carriage."
