Volume I, Beginnings, Chapter 20. Finally out of danger
"! Mayor! Wait, no, didn't you say your family was killed? β
"I mean, my parents were killed, who said my family is the only one in my family?"
Zhao Chunlu replied to Wang Chao on the side.
"Oooh! I'm sorry, but you're the mayor's niece, I really didn't expect it! But can the mayor bring in someone from the military? β
Before Wang Chao could finish his question, the lonely boat on the side directly slapped him aside.
This thing is talking nonsense.
"Thank you. In that case, it takes courage to walk through the woods to find rescue. β
Gu Zhou sincerely thanked him, and he was full of gratitude to this companion who had known them for a short time.
If it weren't for Zhao Chunlu daring to find support alone in the campus where a group of monsters roamed, all of them would have been outside that warehouse.
Even if the warehouse is not far from the north gate, but on that section of the road, under the premise of the end times, who can guarantee that it will not be killed?
Zhao Chunlu is a girl, a stranger's help, compared with the betrayal of some familiar friends, it is really a heaven and a place.
Obviously, Gu Zhou's words reminded Wang Chao of the fact that he had forgotten.
Those two beasts who were greedy for life and afraid of death actually wanted to kill Tang Ling and kill all of them at that time.
All of a sudden, Wang Chao fell silent, he retracted his still active thoughts, and his face turned gloomy.
What he tried so hard to ignore, the chill and pain of being betrayed by his companions, this moment, the moment after the crisis was resolved, swallowed him again.
Gu Zhou saw Wang Chao's changes in his eyes, but he didn't say anything to comfort him.
There are some things that can only be seen clearly for what they are when they are in a critical moment.
Now that the world is in turmoil, Wang Chao can no longer have those naΓ―ve thoughts.
It is very cruel to tear apart the beauty he once thought was good, little by little, in this last days.
"There's nothing to thank, you have taken care of me so much along the way, I just want to repay you, and I also want to thank Tang Ling, if she hadn't told us about the weakness of the monster, I might not have been able to find rescue safe and sound and come back to save you."
Zhao Chunlu said towards Gu Zhou.
Apparently she didn't have an easy time on her way to help, but at least it's all over now.
They were all rescued.
"How is Tang Ling? She was the most seriously injured this time, and her neck was scratched by a monster, was she infected? β
Gu Zhou continued to ask.
Although he and Wang Chao fell very painfully at the time, fortunately there was no major problem, not to mention Luo Rui and Li Jia, they did not encounter too much danger, only Tang Ling, who had endured so much torture alone, if it weren't for the help of that mysterious person, I am afraid it would be more serious.
"It's still unclear what she's like, so we'll have to wait until we go to the makeshift shelter, which has all the medical equipment to detect her problem, and now we're just getting the doctor to bandage her wounds. As for whether she was infected, it is not certain that she was originally going to be isolated in a car alone, but Li Jia and Luo Rui said that they would accompany her. Seriously, I'd love to ask, what exactly have you been through? Will Tang Ling be so seriously injured? β
Zhao Chunlu frowned and looked at Gu Zhou and Wang Chao, she remembered the Tang Ling she saw in the isolation car just now, covered in blood, the whole person was unconscious, and the others didn't have anything?
It's not that Zhao Chunlu wants to be crooked, but this situation can't make her think about the good, I'm afraid that it wasn't what the two roommates of Wang Chao who she saw before she left did something, after all, those two guys had been calculating how to escape from the moment they left the warehouse.
But these two guys will watch them bully Tang Ling and stand by?!
Seeing that Zhao Chunlu's eyes were getting more and more wrong when he looked at them, Gu Zhou knew that this person's mind must not know what it was crooked, he subconsciously pushed the bridge of his nose with his hand, and suddenly reacted that his glasses had already fallen off, and his fingers were replaced by pressing his eyebrows, and then there was a still gloomy Wang Chao on the side, and he reported what happened before in Zhao Chunlu's ominous eyes.
When the dust finally settled, the stopped car started to start, and Gu Zhou and Wang Chao ended their conversation with Zhao Chunlu, and they all looked out through the car window and saw a worse situation than in the school.
The devastated city was full of car accidents and fires, the accident barrier was tied to the railing and broken in half, crumbling, the glass of the street store was shattered, the shelves of goods were scattered everywhere, the water in the exploded fire hydrant was splashing everywhere, gushing everywhere, the ground was puddle after puddle of blood, the stump was broken, and the speeding figure shuttled through it, accompanied by low roars and screams.
Purgatory on earth was born in such a short night.
A long convoy galloped through the chaotic city, with the frontmost armored vehicle rampage to clear the way and lead the convoy behind it to the shelter.
The inhabitants of the city, who were hiding in their homes, saw the army and eagerly sent out a distress signal, but in the shouting and shouting attracted many hunting monsters, they were so frightened that they shut their mouths again, closed their doors and windows and hid in their homes and snooped in secret, eagerly waiting for the army's rescue.
But their hopes will be disappointed.
There are young soldiers who saw those people's cries for help, their minds moved slightly, but they couldn't do anything about it, they were traveling with a mission, not to rescue the people, looking at those who were eager for them, he could only grit his teeth and close his eyes to ignore it, and continue to drive the vehicle away ruthlessly.
Some of the brave ones were different, and when they saw the departing army, they gritted their teeth and drove their own cars to follow.
For a while, the fleeing convoy became longer and longer, and it attracted more and more hunting monsters.
Whether or not they can safely follow them to the Vault depends on their luck.
On the isolation medical vehicle on the side, Tang Ling was lying on a stretcher, with bandages wrapped everywhere on her body, but her whole person was tied to the shelf with ropes, which restrained her movements. And she lay lifeless, looking like she was asleep, but more like she had no signs of life.
Li Jia and Luo Rui sat on the chairs next to them, staring at Tang Ling tightly.
"Jiajia, it's going to be okay, right?"
Luo Rui held back his tears, but still choked up and asked Li Jia beside him.
"I believe Lingling, she will survive."
Li Jia hugged Luo Rui, who was about to hold back tears, and comforted her.
"I'm so scared. I'm afraid that Lingling will become like Xiaoyu, I don't want to, I don't want to lose another friend, why do we have to suffer this? Why are they targeting Lingling? What did we do wrong? β
Luo Rui finally couldn't help it, and vented his grievances full of complaints about this end of the world.
The more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, she couldn't figure out why the world she had been living in suddenly became like this overnight, why her good friend was now lying on a stretcher, and was forced to tie up because of the risk of infection, shouldn't it be those monsters who should be tied up? Why did you bully Tang Ling for an injured person?
Li Jia was infected by Luo Rui's emotions, and her eyes were red.
Yes, they all feel aggrieved.
Why do you do this to them?
But what can be done?
The world has become more cruel, and there is no one who is not wronged.
"Lingling will be fine."
Li Jia hugged Luo Rui and muttered, as if she was comforting her and herself.
With the last hope for this world.
Pray for Tang Ling's improvement.
