Chapter 139: The Living
Just as Leng Yang lit a cigarette and was about to evacuate, he seemed to hear a faint voice. "Is there really anyone? Is there really anyone up there? ”
Leng Yang thought that he was having auditory hallucinations, there had been no signs of human activity in this place for at least a few months, how could there be a sound. But when he turned his head, he found that Zhang Qiang and the bald man were also puzzled.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there? We are the living, not the zombies! The bald man shouted.
The three of them carefully pricked up their ears again, and sure enough, they heard a very faint voice coming from the ground, "Is there really someone?" Save us, save us. ”
Leng Yang followed the direction of the sound and violently pushed away all kinds of debris that stood in the way, there would still be people alive at this time? And still in the seed store? It must be someone who has something to do with the seeds, and if you want to rescue, you must rescue.
"How can we find you? Do you have enough food and water? This time, Leng Yang's question was not answered, and his voice seemed to disappear.
"Let's clear out the things in this store, let's find it slowly, and one more person will give us more strength!" Zhang Qiang and the bald man glanced at each other and shrugged their shoulders, they were some good people who were used to cold yang.
The three of them cleaned up the debris in the seed store, and after a while, the sound of cars sounded outside, and He Min came with Aunt Cao and Li Sisi. Li Sisi rarely speaks in the team, but she is also half a farmer's child, although she has been completely urbanized after entering the city, but now there are masters who understand farming.
Sure enough, Aunt Cao and Li Sisi discussed it, and found a small door similar to an underground storage room at the back of the seed store. They are much more professional than Leng Yang.
"The people below, we are ready to come in, don't get me wrong!" Leng Yang shouted several times into the ground before slowly pushing open the small door that opened upwards that was pressed down by the fallen container.
A somewhat rancid smell came from below, but they didn't care about Leng Yang, who was used to the smell of zombies, and several people looked at the small door intently.
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a thing now." The bald man sighed a little.
Several men nodded, and their first reaction when they saw this was the "tunnel war" they had seen when they were children, what age is this, how can there still be a basement.
In fact, these people who grow in urban forests are themselves unheard of, and underground storage rooms are not uncommon, and many rural villages use them to store food for the winter, but with the development of society, the frequency of use has decreased.
The bald man competed for performance, so he prepared to be the first person to go down, even if the people in it had enough food, they would not see the light of day for so many days, and their physical strength would not be better.
Leng Yang grabbed him, "Don't worry, give the people inside a time to ventilate, and remember, if they don't see the sun for a long time, be careful that their eyes are hurt." ”
Everyone smiled, it was still in the room at five o'clock in the afternoon, the light could be strong there, and the bald man put the flashlight in his hand back in his pocket. "People down there, are you alright? Breathe through and we'll come down to your rescue! ”
This time there was a reflection again, Leng Yang and they heard a woman's cry, the kind of hoarse, breathless sobbing, "The government has come to save us, come to save us!" ”
After about ten minutes, the bald man and Leng Yang went down to the storage room one after another, it was dark, there was almost no light, but the figure over there, it seemed to poke out a few small holes, and a faint light came in from the outside.
After trying to adapt to the light, the first thing that caught Leng Yang's eyes was a three-story white plastic steel shelf, on which were placed some black things, and it was estimated that nine times out of ten vegetables or seeds should be stored.
Then there is a small nest formed by using several small shelves behind the shelves, on which lie two vague figures, one large and one small.
"You're okay with this friend, we're here to save you!"
In response to Leng Yang, it was an extremely weak voice, "Water, you have water." There was also a voice with a childlike voice, "Mommy, Mommy." ”
Now it can be determined, a mother and son, Leng Yang walked to the door of the storeroom, asked for mineral water from above, and walked to the edge of the nest over there, only to find that the young mother was already emaciated, only the head could turn, and the little boy could only lie down beside his mother, holding a handful of rotten vegetables in his hand.
Leng Yang has a big head, he was described by those authors in the novel, he has seen landslides and earth cracks, and he has seen the vicissitudes of life, but this kind of human tragedy really can't be described in words.
He carefully lifted the woman's head, brought the water bottle close to her lips, and moistened it little by little, allowing her to slowly absorb the nutrients of life bit by bit.
The bald man also consciously took care of the skinny little boy on the side, the mother and son looked like they hadn't drunk water for many days, and it was estimated that they were living on these vegetables, and it was hard for them to be able to hold on for so long.
Inform Aunt Cao that they prepare a simple stretcher outside, and they were busy until the evening, when the moon appeared, and the mother and son were taken out of the underground storage room by Leng Yang.
The mother closed her eyes and kept muttering, "Thank you, thank you." The little boy was also very well-behaved, he lay motionless on the stretcher, taking small sips of mineral water handed by the bald man.
"The plan has changed, it's getting late now, everyone goes back to the camp and comes back tomorrow to continue collecting." After sending the mother and son to the Chang'an pickup truck that Li Tianbao had found, a group of people left the town and returned to their defensive circle.
The town has never given people a sense of security, and they prefer the somewhat rudimentary car defense circle outside, where they have defeated a huge number of zombies, and the town has almost trapped them inside.
Xiang Yuning, who got the news, prepared the best accommodation conditions for the mother and son, and set up a truck compartment for the shack, which is already the most ideal place for everyone to stay. Zhou Rongling, who rushed back in the afternoon, was also pushed to the front line, although she was only a surgeon, but she had never eaten pork and seen pigs run, and dead horses should be regarded as live horse doctors.
Not to mention, Zhou Rongling learned and used it very quickly during this time, she used the boiled sterilized needle and the hose in the infirmary, and forcibly made the infusion device, the glucose candy is simple, it can't meet the medical standard, but now it's not impossible.
A group of women chattered and discussed, according to Zhou Rongling, the mother and son had only eaten lettuce and a small amount of water for at least ten days, and they all survived, which was unimaginable.
Leng Yang sat on the ground and looked at Zhang Qiang, who had shaved off his beard and looked capable, "Everyone has worked hard, we did a good job today." He tossed a few cans of Blue Sword beer over.
A group of men sat on the ground, drinking drinks, today they had worked hard for a day, laying a great foundation for their survival, compared to the somewhat miserable mother and son, everyone was glad that they had not fallen to that point.
Xiang Yuning walked over and sat beside Leng Yang without paying attention to it, "Leng Yang, Zhou Rongling asked me to tell you that Officer Chai's arm is estimated to be unable to recover, she has no conditions for surgery, and can only roughly control the injury." ”
Leng Yang frowned, "What did Officer Chai say himself?" ”
"It's his own choice, just treat it like this, as long as his right hand doesn't hurt, he won't have that right arm in the future." Xiang Yuning lowered her head gloomily, in fact, she was a little afraid that Chai Jin would compete for the leadership of Leng Yang, but she was also a little sad to watch a good combat power become crippled.
Leng Yang looked up at the sky, "This world is unpredictable." For a while, Zhang Qiang and the others were also a little melancholy, a few days ago, everyone worked hard together, but now they finally saw a glimmer of hope, but Officer Chai has become like this.
"Cold team, I feel that we are still a lot worse, we need weapons, a lot of real weapons, crossbow arrows alone can't do it, hand-to-hand combat is also a matter of rights." Zhang Qiang gritted his teeth and said word by word.
"It's not easy to say, we have only gathered more than a dozen people now, you and Chai Jin are the closest people to guns among us, do you know where to find guns around here?"
Zhang Qiang stopped talking, he was just a prison guard, and the prison had a gun room, but it had been taken away by them, and what was lost was lost.
"Don't think too much about it, we didn't have anything at first, but now you see, we can destroy thousands of zombies, we can capture so many supplies, we can rescue the living, as our ability increases, one day we will find more powerful weapons." Xiang Yuning said loudly, and when she said this, the woman's eyes were full of confidence.
"Don't worry, you have to eat the rice one bite at a time, we will all have it in the future, even if we don't make it ourselves." Leng Yang is very confident in this matter.
"Tomorrow, we need to go to the town again to collect supplies, and we are ready to gradually relocate the equipment in the village." Xiang Yuning's next words made the bald man a little puzzled.
Xiang Yuning's voice became cautious, "I know that everyone is working hard, but we are far from being safe, and when Doctor Zhou and the others went back today, they found that there were scattered zombies outside the village. ”
"Ahh Li Tianbao let out a scream, and under Xiang Yuning's somewhat sharp eyes, he hurriedly blocked his mouth, he was different from Zhang Qiang, he and the bald man had rested in the village for one night, he remembered very clearly, Cao Zhongyuan said when he introduced them to the iron-armored zombies, in order to prevent the zombies from mutating, the zombies in the ten miles around the village, they were all killed!
Zhang Qiang and the others only then knew how far they were behind Leng Yang, and when they were still struggling desperately for a full meal and to see the sun tomorrow, Leng Yang and they had already begun to analyze their opponents from the clues of zombies.
"Damn, it's not okay to have your own base, while it's still two hours before it's dark, everyone go collect gasoline, we still have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Leng Yang threw away the Coke in his hand and stood up, originally he thought that he could wander around the edge of the city, carefully collect supplies, and wait until he was strong before opening the copy of the city war.
But in fact, zombies never stop their pace, although they are slow and have no purpose, but they never stop!
The sea of zombies that Leng Yang and Xiang Yuning saw from afar when they fled from Xiaonan Mountain in the past was not comparable to the zombie group in the town at all, that was the real horror, the real zombie sea with no end in sight!
