Chapter 534: Buildable Materials
Mill Institute Medical Outer Hallway.
The old man and the officer on duty stood at the end of the corridor of the medical department, and the two of them looked at the darkness in front of them, their faces full of great doubts.
"He-he's still here...... Could it be that he ran away again...... "The officer on duty took out a small flashlight from his pocket in confusion and shone it around both sides of the T-shaped intersection in front of him, but still found no trace of that guy.
"Are you sure it's a person and not a zombie or something?" The old man said to the officer on duty.
"I'm not sure, I didn't shine a flashlight on him at the time so as not to be discovered by him, but looking at him walking, he should look like a person, and the zombie should not be so upright when he walks, but where can he be now?" The officer on duty said with an anxious expression.
The old man smiled helplessly, "If you want to find out that it is a person at that time, you should shout at the first time to let him know you, you are on duty, your task should not only be to find the intruder, although it is right to report to me at the first time, but now our monitoring is not working, it will be troublesome to find him in such a large research institute." ā
The staff scratched their heads in embarrassment, "IāI'm not afraid it's a zombie...... Although I haven't seen much of a zombie walking with his chest up, I'm still scared, if it's a zombie, I call him, and I can't run away from him when he pounces......"
The old man smiled at him, "Okay, if you walk with your chest up, then it's basically human, according to my impression, zombies usually walk with their heads out, in this case, it may be that a survivor has found us, this is a good thing, in this way, you wait for me here for a while, I'll help you find some partners, you can find out the survivor today, how about it?" ā
The officer on duty nodded, "Good!" Good! I'm waiting for you right here, thank you so much! ā
The old man smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, then wait here." ā
After speaking, the officer on duty watched the old man turn around and walk in the direction of the headquarters, and then he took out a flashlight to shine behind him suspiciously, and this time, he actually saw a head at a glance!
His heart instantly "popped", this feeling is really similar to the kind of ghost that you see as soon as you turn around, but fortunately, it is indeed a human head and not a ghost, that is the survivor he saw, it turns out that the survivor has not walked away, but just hid behind them!
"You, you, you! Who are you! The officer on duty was so frightened by this guy that he was a little incoherent, and instinctively raised his hand to point at the guy.
Under the light of the flashlight, the officer on duty saw that the survivor was a man who did not look very old, he was wearing a black outfit, black pants and black shoes on the lower body, and a black hooded sweatshirt on the upper body.
"I ...... What is this place! The survivor seemed to be extra vigilant, and even when talking to him, the guy was half hiding behind the wall, as if he would run away if he noticed something was wrong.
"Ah...... Don't be afraid, we're not bad people, we're ...... It's a survivor shelter, there are many survivors like you, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you! Seeing that the survivor was so cautious, the officer on duty immediately softened his tone, in case the boss came over with someone and then heard that someone was scared away by him, wouldn't he become a sinner in the institute......
The survivor cautiously walked out from behind the wall, and the officer on duty also breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly observed the survivor in a place where the flashlight could not shine.
This survivor can be said to be really "black", in addition to the clothes on his body are black, he actually wears a black mask, but judging from the size of the survivor and his vigilant eyes like a fawn, this should be a young man.
"Will you and I wait here for a while? That was my leader just now, he didn't know you were here, wait for him to come over and you get to know each other, and then ask him to arrange a place for you to live, okay? The officer on duty continued to talk to him to let his guard down.
But he didn't expect that the survivors would actually say that he had a place to live.
"You...... It's so messy outside, where do you live? The officer on duty said with a surprised expression.
"Outside. Far away. The survivor said, staring into his eyes.
"Far away? So how did you find this place? The officer on duty then asked.
"Looking for food, the food next to the house is gone, don't you eat?" After the survivor finished speaking, he even threw a disdainful look at him.
"Eat...... You can rest assured, you can rest assured! We have food here, to tell you the truth, we have a total of close to a hundred people here, and no one has ever been hungry, since you are our guest, you will talk to him when our boss comes, see if you are not satisfied with the conditions on our side, if you are satisfied, join us, okay? The officer on duty said to him with a smile.
"Let's see." After the survivor finished speaking, he raised his hand again and pointed to the corridor where he came, "What is that place?" ā
The flashlight of the officer on duty then turned to the rear, and the circular spot of light was projected onto the door of the intensive care unit, and he was stunned for a moment.
"Oh, over there, there's a separate ward in the medical department, and this corridor leads to the medical department, and there are a lot of experienced medical staff and medical supplies in it." He said to the survivors.
"You just came from over there? Do you have patients here? The survivor asked warily.
The officer on duty scratched his head, "Patient...... There are a few, it's not cold, there are a few people with a cold and fever, the boss is very concerned about their health, so he often goes to their side to see, but now they are almost fine. ā
There was a hint of doubt in the dark pupils of the survivor, "I have a cold and fever...... Can I go over and have a look? ā
The officer on duty was stunned, "He, their cold is quite serious...... You go and see what they're doing, and if you can't infect you again......"
After that, the survivor's eyes always fell on the door of the intensive care unit, and the officer on duty estimated that he still wanted to go there to have a look, but he never understood why this guy had such a soft spot for the medical department, until the footsteps of several people came from the end of another corridor, and the old man and several commanders walked towards them quickly.
"Here they are, they're our leaders here." The officer on duty said to the survivors.
The survivor's gaze fell on the old man's face again.
"Hello hello, survivor, huh?" The old man stretched out his hand to the survivor as soon as he arrived.
But the survivors didn't seem to like these so-called meeting etiquette, and still stood straight in place, never extending their hand to the old man.
"Where are we...... Now it's a survivor shelter, it's a fate that you can come to us, so far we have enough food and water here to meet our daily needs, if you have nothing else to do, let's take you around the living area first, if you are satisfied with our conditions here, we will arrange accommodation for you immediately, how about it? The old man smiled at the young survivor who looked a little arrogant.
"'Now is it?' So what did you do before? The survivor asked warily.
"We used to be a mill, and if you're a resident of our city, you'll know us, we used to be a big food processing factory." The old man introduced him as he walked.
The survivor nodded thoughtfully, and then followed the old man straight in the direction of the lodging quarters.
Those commanders can also see that the old man is trying to keep this survivor here, because the most lacking thing in their research institute is manpower, especially this kind of tall young man, although they are now almost hiding all the truth about their Mill Institute from this survivor, but the "truth" is not something that people can see at a glance after all, if this survivor really agrees to stay, it won't be long before he gradually discovers more and more truths.
"Alas...... The outside world has simply become a barren, food and water have suddenly become our most important supplies, but fortunately we have enough people here, everyone who has free time to go to the nearby convenience store or big supermarket to find food, so far these survival materials are enough, the only regret is that there is no electricity, but we have flashlights. The old man said, smiling and showing the survivor the bright glowing flashlight in his hand.
The survivor lowered his eyes and looked at the flashlight in the old man's hand, the light reflected in his eyes, and the old man realized that the young man's only eyes were actually quite beautiful, as bright as a black jewel; He felt that this young man's non-talkative personality was very suitable for staying with them, and he had to find a way to win this young man over......
