After running for a long time, Rick saw a wooden hut standing on a farm.

At this time, a woman at the door of the hut took out a telescope and saw Rick running wildly, and hurriedly exclaimed into the house: "Father! ”

Gomi, who was talking to Herschel in the house, also heard the exclamation, thinking that it was a walking corpse invasion, "Sophia, you stay in the house first, I'll go see what's going on." As he spoke, he grabbed his bow and arrow and walked quickly outside the house.

"Rick?" Gomi saw Rick holding Carl and was puzzled, and hurriedly stepped forward to check on Carl, only to find that a large amount of blood had spilled from Carl's right abdomen. "Herschel, hurry, someone is hurting." Gomi threw down his bow and arrows and hurriedly carried Karl back into the house.

"Patricia, bring the full set of tools, Maggie, painkillers, blood clotters, all here, hurry up towels, sheets, alcohol, quick." Herschel commanded.

"Bring the pillowcase." Herschel hurriedly commanded Maggie and the others.

"Is he still alive?" A nervous Rick asked.

"Hey, Rick, Carl he must still be alive, let Herschel come, he's a professional." Gomi comforts a nervous Rick.

At this time, a pair of small hands suddenly put on Rick's big hand, "Carl will be fine, Uncle Rick." ”

Rick watched Sophia, who had disappeared for a long time, appear in front of him, and hugged Sophia tightly, "Don't run around in the future, okay?" "The greatest joy of mankind is to regain what has been lost.

"Rick, Carl needs a blood transfusion, lots and lots of blood, we're looking for type A blood, but there's no here." Herschel walked out the door and said to Rick, who was holding Sophia.

"Pump me, I am." Both voices rang out at the same time, and Rick looked up at Gomi.

"You two get ready, and the operation will start right away." Herschel rolled up his sleeves.

Rick saw Shaun running out of the window with the man who had wounded Carl and walking out of the house.

"Is he still alive?" Otis, who had just run back, asked. Rick was silent.

Gomi also walked out of the house, and Sean looked at Gomi who came out and hurriedly asked, "Where is Sophia, where is she!" Where did you go, if it weren't for you Carl wouldn't have been hurt. ”

Gomi lowered her head, and Sophia also came out of the house, hiding behind Gomi and looking at Sean.

"Carl is going to be fine, Carl is going to be fine." Sean comforted Rick twice in a row, and at the same time comforted himself.

As the group walked back into the house, Herschel asked Otis, "What's going on?" ”

"I was hunting deer and a bullet went through the body of the deer and hit him. I wore it all at once. Otis hurriedly explained.

"The deer's body slowed down the bullet and saved his life, but the bullet didn't go through his body completely, but shattered into several pieces, and if I could get all the bullet fragments out, I think he had six pieces in his body." Herschel pressed Carl's wound to the location and told him about the treatment.

"I didn't see him until he fell to the ground." Otis nervously told his family, who gave him a comforting hug.

"Does Lori know about this? No, he doesn't know yet, my wife doesn't, she doesn't know yet. Rick was nervous and delirious.

The emotions that Rick had been holding back exploded at this moment, and he could only cover his face and cry bitterly.

—

Lori, who was deep in the forest, seemed to sense something, and turned her head to look in the direction of the gunshot.

"What's wrong?" Andrea saw Lori standing still.

"There was a gunshot before."

"We all heard it." Glenn turned.

"Why just one shot, why only one shot?" Lori was confused.

"Maybe they killed a walking corpse?" Daryl explained on the side.

"Don't be perfunctory with me, you know that Rick and Sean will never risk a robbery just to hit a walking corpse, they will kill it without a sound." Lori is sure of her husband and lover.

"According to the time, they should catch up with us by now." Carol looked at the sky.

"No matter what, there's nothing we can do about it, we can't just wander around the woods listening to the echoes." Daryl looked around warily.

"So what do we do now?" Lori asked.

"Go as planned, continue to the bushes to find Sophia and them, and find a way back on the highway." Andrea is ready to finish what she had planned.

"I'm sure they'll be able to meet us in the RV."

Andrea looked at Carol, the poor woman who had lost her husband and daughter, "I can understand how you feel. Carol looked at Andrea, "I think, you do understand, thank you." I don't know where she's going, where she's going, and I keep hoping and praying that she doesn't end up like Amy, and that's the worst thing I've ever said. Carol, who couldn't help herself, poured out with tears.

Andrea shook her head, "We are all praying and hoping with you. ”

Daryl stepped forward and said, "Pray for something, there's not a single bullshit thing worth praying for." Expecting and praying are a waste of time, am I the only Christian here? Really! With that, he turned around and continued to search for Sophia's whereabouts.

At this time, where the RV was, Moore stood on the roof of the RV and looked at the hot weather, "It's a waste of time, if it weren't for the Gomi kid among the missing people, who would be with you." ”

T-boy walked over to Dell, who was repairing the vehicle, "Are they coming back?" Dale looked at the sky, "It's not dark yet, how do you feel?" Because T boy had previously encountered the walking corpse group and cut his arm in a panic, although his arm had been bandaged, his face was not very good, so Dale asked.

"I felt a lot of pain, a lot of pain." T-boy looked at his arm.

"You know it hurts when you cut my hand, do you know how you felt when you controlled me on the rooftop and wanted me to die! Dog, your panic won't work. Moore, who was on guard in the RV, joined the chat group.

Dale glared at Moore.

"Old man, if it weren't for the fact that the Gomi Kid said that the situation is not suitable for reducing the number of people, you would have been thrown into the walking corpse by me by now!" Moore saw Dale's eyes menacing. I thought about what Gomi said, "In the end of the world, people are the most important." Turning around and sitting at the back of the RV, he took out the wine he had taken in the laboratory warehouse and poured a few sips to relieve his depressed mood.

Dale opened the bandage on T'Boy's arm, "Listen, Moore's vein is severely congested and needs urgent treatment now, or you'll die." T-boy smiled bitterly after hearing this, "Theodore Douglas just died from a small wound on his arm, how could I die from this wound, it sounds too stupid." The emotionally broken T-boy didn't hesitate to speak.

"We've got to find saline or penicillin, and I can't believe there is not a single medicine in so many vehicles." Dale looked at the vehicle graveyard.

"It's not that we didn't look thoroughly, it looks like we're going to have to search carefully. Moore, are you going to look for it? Dale asked Moore at the top of the RV.

"Go ahead, I'm on guard, I don't want to run into a large number of walking corpses again." Moore shook his hand. Then Dale and the others began to rummage through the vehicle's medicines.

On Gomy's side, Karl's situation is not too good, and Rick, who is sitting on the sofa, blames himself.

"Why did I let him come with us in the first place? I should have let him follow Lori. ”

"Once you think so, you'll never be able to get out of the shadow." Sean reassured.

"Sophia is missing, I can't just look for it, it's a simple matter." Rick sinks into the abyss of self-blame.

"Carl was shot because I didn't want to give up, and I was supposed to be lying inside."

"Sophia, go, comfort Uncle Rick, don't make him feel guilty too much, at least he's found you now." Gomi looked at Sophia who was hiding behind him, and Sofia had stayed by his side since she told Sophia not to leave him for three meters.

"Uncle Rick, look, you've found me, don't blame yourself." Sophia looked at Gomi's encouraging eyes not far away, and then at Rick.

"Rick!" The door to the room where the operation was taking place suddenly opened, and Rick hurried inside.

"You hold him down, we need you now!" Herschel hurriedly asked the people next to him to prepare Rick for a blood transfusion.

"Ah~" Carl, who was screaming in bed, felt endless pain. Looking at Kalrik in front of him who wanted to struggle because of the pain, he shouted repeatedly, "Stop, he's dying of pain!" ”

"Rick, do you want him to survive!?" Herschel, who was cleaning up shrapnel, did not raise his head. Looking at the pained Carl, Rick was speechless.

"He needs a blood transfusion, go for a blood transfusion." Sean pressed the struggling Carl to alert Rick.

The blood vessel was inserted into Rick's arm, and streams of fresh blood were injected into the blood bag, waiting to be injected into Carl's body.

Suddenly, Carl on the bed stopped struggling, and several people panicked, "Wait, wait." Sean hurriedly looked at Herschel, "He just fainted." Herschel hurriedly explained.

Singled out a piece of shrapnel in Karl's body, "He has five more pieces in his body. "The calm Herschel took control of his home turf. The remaining five pieces of shrapnel were removed, and several people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lori has to be here, she's the mother of the child." Rick, leaning against the window, said to Sean. Now it was Gomi's turn to give Carl blood.

Gomi watched his blood flow through the vial, injecting into Carl's body, "We're all the same blood now, Carl, you're my family." Gomi, who has never been very gregarious, once questioned Rick's choice and never regarded them as his own, so he couldn't sleep safely and had to hold his weapon to fall asleep, but now looking at Carl on the bed, he felt peace of mind, "I will protect you." Touching Sophia's head on the side, Gomi assured.

"Go and bring the guys, I'm here." Gomi, who had filled the blood vial, pulled out the blood vessel, covered his arm, and said to Rick and Sean.

Rick and Sean, who walked out of the room, looked at Otis and Maggie, who were praying to Carl outside the door, "He's okay." The two of them immediately relieved their hearts.

"Lori has to be here, Sean." Rick spoke to Sean.

"I understand, I understand. I'll take care of that, but you'll have to take care of yours too. Sean looked at Rick.

"My business?" Rick was confused.

"Your job is to stay here, for the sake of your son, even if he survives and no longer needs your blood, I won't allow you to step out of this door, man, if you dare to try, I'll break your leg, you know what I mean, right?" Sean looked at Rick, who was depressed. "You'll never forgive yourself, and Lori won't forgive you, brother."

"You're right." The eye sockets could no longer hold back Rick's tears, which dripped silently as Sean's words followed.

"You know what, when you're in the hospital, the last person you should leave is... You should have looked at what Lori looked like, she was like... She's strong, you can't imagine at all. Listen, that's what you're supposed to do now, I mean Carl, he needs you right now, so, you've got to cheer up now, man, clear? You face the hard part and I'll take care of the rest, okay? Sean hugged Rick's head and comforted him.

Herschel walked out of the room, "He's out of danger for the time being, but he's still quite dangerous, his abdomen is swollen now, his blood pressure is dropping, which means that there is internal bleeding, there must be fragments that cut the blood vessels, I have to operate on him, find the bleeding point and suture it for him, in the process he can't move, I may cut the artery, then he will die in a few minutes, for the operation, I have to make him anesthetized and unconscious, but if he does this, he can't breathe on his own, the result is still the same." ”

"So what should I do, get him a respirator?" Otis stepped forward, and he also wanted to make amends for his mistakes.

"Yes, I also need to find a tube that connects to the respirator, other medical supplies, surgical sheets, sutures." Herschel spoke out about his needs.

"If you have all of these, can you treat him?" Rick asked cautiously.

"If I had all of these, I would do my best." Herschel assured.

"The nearest hospital was on fire a month ago, it should have everything we needed, the last time I saw that place was already occupied by the walking corpses, there was no way to get close, maybe it's better now." Otis recalls where he had walked before.

"I said, I'll take care of the rest, it's too late to take it back." Sean was bitter.

"I'll go too." Gomi covered his arm.

"Hey man, you just had a massive blood draw and now need to recuperate." Several people persuaded Gomi. Gomi turned his head to look at Carl, who was dying on the bed, squatted down and said to Sophia, "Sophia, you stay here with Uncle Rick to take care of Carl, and Brother Gomi will go back as soon as he goes." ”

Standing up, Gomi looked into Rick's eyes, "I have to go, man, you're too tired to be alone, I'll help you share the responsibility of taking care of the children in the future." ”

Rick looked at Gomi, who was not burly or tall, and was also a child, "Thank you, brother. Hammered Gomi on the shoulder.

"Doctor, make a list for me and draw a map." Sean said to Herschel.

"You don't need a map, I'll take you." Otis on the side sent out an invitation to form a team. "It's only five miles in total."

"Otis, don't."

"Honey, we don't have time to play guessing games, I have to be responsible, I won't sit idly by here, just let the two of them go alone, it'll be fine." Otis looked at Carl, who had been injured by mistake on the bed.

"Are you sure you want to?" Sean wondered.

"Do you know what those things he says look like?" Otis said.

"I really don't know." Sean was helpless, after all, he hadn't been in contact before.

"I've volunteered as an emergency before, I know."

"Then hurry up and don't waste time." Gomi said.

Put on your equipment, the black combat uniform is still a one-piece denim suit, the fishing line on the belt and the quiver and 20 arrows hanging on one side, a pistol in the chest, and a large white dogleg knife at the waist, pick up the bow on the side, and walk outside the house.
