Chapter 28: Half the City

Alan Chen is located in the northern suburbs of the border country of Navia, which is called "Half City", which literally means that only half of the city is left, and it is a dead city with no one left.

Those who see this scene for the first time will be shocked and unable to imagine what is happening.

All the floors of the house in front of me were lifted open, revealing the ruins and ruins inside, and the roof and ceiling were missing, as if a long knife more than ten kilometers long had slashed horizontally, and all the parts above the second floor rose into the air and turned into powder in the air.

The ground was littered with rubble and rubble, and there was not even an intact path left, and Alan Chan climbed up the wall of a toppled bungalow, entered the interior from the second floor, and climbed through the window to the other block.

"The hospital is probably in the southeast, and the southeast is ......"

The place is dead silent, and the whole city is like a huge eastern suburb recycling station, where every brick and tile is littered with abandoned garbage.

But for Alan Chan, trash is treasure, and he is facing a whole city's treasure trove.

It took him a great deal of effort to locate the hospital, and a red cross sign flipped to the door of the half-collapsed hospital building, specifically resembling an "X" that was forbidden to enter.

There is not a single intact window on either side of the street, and the dark windows look like a pair of eyes hidden in the dark, watching strangers trespassing.

A well-preserved newspaper was pressed under a stone slab by the side of the road, and Alan Chen tore off the corner to dust off the dust, revealing the words "2457 Navia Evening News".

Alan Chen knows very little about "Half City", and I heard that it has become what it is now as early as 30 years ago.

The government was tight-lipped about this, and at first arranged a large number of rescue efforts, but later found that there were no survivors at all, so the rescue was put on hold, and a fence was erected outside the city to guard it to prevent citizens from entering.

Over time, it became a forbidden area for the townspeople, and many of the weird legends that children heard as children were based on Bancheng.

There is also a lot of speculation that Bancheng was attacked by some kind of "sophisticated weapon" from other countries, and it just so happened that Navia was drawn into the war vortex of Taklama from then on.

The war continues to the present day, and a large number of young adults in the suburban villages have been recruited to the front and never returned.

"Here we are."

After turning over piles of rubble, Alan Chen finally came to the main entrance of the hospital, fortunately, he had a recycling station to climb the garbage mountain for exercise, so it was not too difficult.

Squeak –

Chen Alan pushed open the rotten door, making a screeching sound, the dust was awakened and flew up, and the sunlight penetrated in, illuminating a gray wall.

Waving his hand to disperse the dust, Alan Chen covered his mouth and nose and walked in.

Click!

Suddenly a voice sounded, he lowered his head, and a needle was broken by him.

This sound made Alan Chen highly nervous, and since he entered the city, he always had the illusion of being secretly peeped at.

Guidance desk, toll office, consultation hall, medicine collection window, emergency room, irradiation room...... The first floor is a large space, with several rooms associated with it, except that it is empty, and it is no different from a normal hospital.

He entered the emergency room and rummaged around, except for scalpels and gauze, only a few empty blood bags, and dark blood clots on the floor.

didn't find the thermometer, Chen Aaron put the scalpel and gauze into the snakeskin bag in line with the principle of "don't miss it when you pass by", and didn't forget to take a few bottles of medical alcohol.

He walked around the medicine window again, and there were a lot of medicines left on the display cabinet, but unfortunately he used [Item Identification] to check them one by one, and all the medicines had expired.

On the second floor, there are various departments on both sides of the corridor, such as dermatology, gastroenterology, respiratory, and reproductive medicine...... It looks like a hospital on Earth.

In the center of the department is a nurse's station, two yellowed nurse uniforms are hung on the wall, Chen Alun flipped through the medical log, the content is stuck 30 years ago, and the time here is frozen at that moment.

Behind the nurse's station was the Medical Device Management Office, and Chen Aaron walked briskly by, suddenly showing disappointment.

A hole was opened in the ceiling of the management office, and heavy stones smashed into a storage cabinet, and all the equipment inside was scrapped. The only remaining storage cabinet was a wide open door and an empty inside.

Chen Aaron squatted down, and there was an unusually clear pair of footprints in front of the storage cabinet, which seemed to have just been left.

"Has anyone been here?"

There was a noise downstairs, like the sound of a metal shelf toppling over, like a roaring thunder in this cold, dead world.

Alan Chen was shocked and went straight to the staircase leading to the first floor.

Beside the hallway near the illumination room, a figure hurried out.

"Stop!"

The man wanted to leave the hospital, but just as he passed the stairs, Chen Alan rushed down from the second floor and knocked down the figure who was about to escape.

The person who was crushed under him struggled, like a mad beast, swaying vigorously from side to side, trying to shake the person off his body.

Chen Aaron grabbed his hand and twisted it behind his back, but was surprised to find that his hand was dry and thin, his fingers were black, and there were still a few traces of blood in his fingertips.

The other party's strength was terrifying, he twisted his upper body towards Chen Alun and bared his teeth, his eyes hidden under the long messy hair, but the teeth were messy but sharp, and a beast-like roar came out from between his teeth.

Chen Aaron shook his head, the other party broke free, crawled out of the hospital gate with his hands and feet, jumped a few times, and disappeared completely.

"Is that a man or a monster?" Alan Chan was stunned.

"Xiao Lun?" A familiar voice read his name.

Chen Aaron was stunned for a moment and found that there was still a person standing in the hospital hall.

"Adou?"

It's a coincidence.,It's not a living person.,It's Adou who has male muscles on his back.。

"What was that just now?" Alan Chan asked.

"I don't know," Adou clutched the wound on his neck, the shape perfectly matched the monster's fingertips. "Suddenly jumped up from under the hospital bed, scratched me and ran."

"It doesn't look like it's from the city, has it been in the middle of the city? Didn't you say that there weren't any creatures in half the city? ”

"It's been 30 years, and no one knows what half of the city is like." Adou's palms were covered with blood, the wounds were black, and there might be some infectious material in the fingers of that thing.

"Don't move, I'll take care of it."

Alan Chen poured out the alcohol and gauze in the snakeskin bag and began to bandage Adou.

Adou glanced at the snakeskin bag: "You're here to steal something?" ”

"It's not stealing, it's taking!" Chen Aaron tied gauze and fixed the wound.

After saying that, the two looked at each other for a few seconds, and they both laughed and hugged each other hard.

The creed of the two is highly consistent: what is ownerless, what you pick up is mine!

"What about you? What are you doing here? ”

"Me?" Adou took out a small medicine bottle from the package around his waist, "My family is sick, and the city hospital is too expensive and can't be ranked, so I have to try my luck here." ”

Chen Aaron didn't think much about it, Adou is such a character, where there is work to do, there is him, his wife has been sick in bed for many years, and he has been running around for a long time in order to make money.

He carefully looked at the small medicine bottle in Adou's hand: "Does your wife have epilepsy?" This medicine is used to treat headaches and epilepsy. ”

Adou shook his head: "I don't know how to read, I'll take whatever I have, and it's best to be useful." ”

Alan Chen took out all the potions in Adou's package and checked them one by one, but Adou was disappointed.

"It's all wrong, it's a waste of effort." Adou smiled wryly.

"It's better to keep it and sell it for money." Alan Chan comforted him.

"These are worth a fart," Adou casually threw the potion away, "Behind the main building is the inpatient department, maybe there are valuable goods somewhere, don't you?" ”

Chen Aaron originally searched around but didn't find anything, but the huge hospital didn't have a thermometer and blood pressure monitor! Hearing Adou's proposal, he suddenly became interested.

"No problem, let's go!"

The two walked out of the hospital building and were walking around the overturned red cross at the door, which smashed right on the sculpture of the dove of peace at the door, with indescribable irony.

"By the way, let me ask you, don't you work at the Lunt Steel Works? You have a molten iron furnace in your factory, right? ”

If you want to find out the source of the gold nuggion, you must find the source of the gold-iron mixture. [Item identification] indicates that it is the molten iron waste slag of a certain iron and steel plant, and it may be more useful to start with the molten iron furnace.

Adou, an employee of the Lunt Steel Plant, may know a little bit of news.

Adou's face changed: "I have resigned a long time ago, why are you asking this?" ”

"Just ask."

Adou's expression was a little complicated, and he paused for a moment before saying, "I don't know!" ”

"Then your factory ......"

"The chengguan is here!"

Adou suddenly pulled Chen Aaron under the half-cut booth and pressed his head down.

Chen Aaron peeked at it, two guards with guns were patrolling the streets, and they were responsible for supervising the chengguan of half of the city, specializing in catching waste pickers like Chen Aaron who climbed over the wall.

"Great, didn't find out we ......"

Bang!

In the silence, a loud bang sounded at his feet, shattering the peace, Chen Aaron and Adou were startled, and the attention of the chengguan was also attracted.

At his feet was a puddle of fragments of energy-saving light bulbs, and Chen Aaron looked up to find that the monster that had run away before was crawling onto the street lamp with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"It betrays our position!"

Seeing that the chengguan was coming, Adou and Chen Aaron didn't think about it and ran back towards the hospital.

"Stop! What people! ”

A string of merciless bullets followed, and a row of bullet holes were instantly listed on the outer wall of the hospital, Chen Aaron pounced into the outpatient hall, and Adou also stumbled in.

"These guys shoot when they say they shoot!" His life hung by a thread, and Alan Chen's heart was beating faster.

"Nonsense! What is the value of the lives of civilians in the suburbs? Come on! Adou pulled up Chen Aaron.

The two ran from the first floor to the second floor, the fire of bullets in the stairwell chasing their heels.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps downstairs, and the chengguan chased after them, and Chen Aaron and Adou ran wildly along the second floor.

Turning the corner, a boulder blocked their way.

"It's wrong, it's a dead end!" Alan Chan looked back at the staircase from time to time.

"Find another way!"

Adou kicked on the door of the dermatology department, but he didn't expect the door to be unusually strong, and he didn't move at all.

Adou kicked two more feet and kicked the door of the pediatric department instead.

"Don't stay here, we won't be able to run away when the chengguan comes up!" Chen Aaron pulled Adou and ran in the direction of the center of the department.

The corridor on the second floor is divided into two sections, north and south, and if you continue to stay in the corridor, you can easily sweep them down with a shuttle when the chengguan comes up.

The southern half of the hospital is in a state of semi-collapse, and the doors of these departments are blocked by the collapsed wall panels, and they can't be kicked open at all!

Coming to the nurse's station in the center of the department, the chengguan was passing by the guide desk on the first floor, Adou saw the window at the staircase, and the tiger jumped up to grab the window.

"Quick, play hide and seek with them, they go up to the second floor, we jump outside......"

As soon as Adou pushed open the window, a string of bullets came quickly, breaking half of the window frame, and he was only less than half a meter away from Adou.

This is already quite obvious, the bullets are real guys, and the intention of the city management to erase them is also true!

"There's a person left outside the building!"
