Chapter 50:
The first ray of morning light broke through the sky, illuminating the city hidden in the darkness. On the streets full of corpses, scavengers gathered, rubbing the stench of death into the sunlight.
From high altitude, looking down from high altitude, you can see the whole city of picking stars.
It was hollowed out.
All surviving traces of human beings and life have disappeared, broken buildings, bridges and streets are intertwined, like a beehive that was hollowed out by surprise.
It seems that there are no more surviving human beings in this silent land, meet each other and tell everything that happened last night.
"You sure saw the corpse tide, right?"
In the outskirts of Zhaixing City, a gray car was parked on the side of the road.
Chen Lingling was repairing the tires. The little white face who had just finished driving did not go to rest. Instead, she fiddled with a lot of machines. She took out what looked like a voice recorder and was about to interview her.
Chen Lingling glanced at him suspiciously, "Didn't you just experience it yourself?"
Why do you want to interview people in a big way?
Xiao Bailian shook his head vigorously, "No no no, I am collecting materials, and I need to understand what people in the know have seen and heard..."
Chen Lingling: "So you are a reporter."
Little white face smiled, just as he was about to speak, he was startled by Chen Guang's roar.
"Zhou Bao, you **** roll off your sleeves!"
On the other side of the car, Fat Zhou shrunk in position, clutching his right arm and refused to let go.
Pang Zhou's face was pale and his expression shrank, "I'm really nothing, Brother Guang, I'll go to the toilet, I'll be right back..."
"It's okay, why are you covering it up so you can't see it?" Chen Guang was even more irritable, "Zhou Bao, how long have I known you? As soon as you step on the horse and open your mouth, I know which word you are lying! "
This is what Tang Xiao saw when he came back.
Fat Zhou opened his eyes hastily, his body trembled slightly from fear, and there was a scratch on his left forearm.
But compared to the wound itself, what this wound symbolizes is the boulder that hits everyone's heart.
"Is this caught by a zombie?" Chen Guang lowered his voice unconsciously.
Pang Zhou sniffed, "It seems, on the rooftop, the first zombie that came up grabbed me..."
He lowered his head as he spoke, and finally his entire face was so low that he could not see, only the twitching of his shoulders could be seen.
"I'm sorry, Brother Guang, Sister Xiao, Sister Lingling... I can't go to the capital with you..."
Chen Guang gritted his teeth and asked, "So when you said you were going to the toilet, you actually wanted to carry us behind your back and leave alone?"
Pang Zhou's voice was almost like a mosquito, "Well..."
"Then have you thought about what we should do!!" Chen Guang was so angry that he almost jumped up, he resisted the urge to beat his friend in front of him, and took a deep breath.
At this time, he calmed down instead, "Don't do stupid things, I will never let you die, arm, scratched... By the way!"
He thought of an idea and clapped his hands, "Let's cut off your arm first!"
Tang Xiao: “…”
Before Chen Guang found the knife, he was stopped by Tang Xiao, "Don't move."
She saved them so many times and he was so useless…
Tang Xiao's voice was not very angry, but very calm, "The wound has been oozing pus. For so long, the virus has already penetrated into it, and it is too late to cut off the arm now."
Pang Zhou burst into tears, "I'm sorry, I didn't find out until dawn..."
Before he was frightened, and recalled the nightmare he had once, he only felt boundless heart palpitations, and the body was constantly sweating outwards, and he had no strength in his hands and feet, and he did not find the wound on his arm for a while.
By the time you find out, it's too late.
Tang Xiao didn't speak, she checked Fat Zhou's wound and body, "Only this scratch? What about other places?"
Pang Zhou replied: "There are bruises, bruises...but only this one is scratched."
"Not bitten?"
"No."
She simply nodded, and began to take things from her backpack, disinfectant, hemostatic... The most important thing was a can of white medicine bottle that she took out at the end.
"The medicine in this can temporarily improve immunity. Although it cannot resist zombie viruses, it can prolong the transformation period."
In the game, this medicine is called "Primary Resistance Medicine". Although there is only a small bottle, it can be regarded as the most valuable thing in the supply of medicines this time.
“…”
Several people didn't expect that things would turn around, especially Fat Zhou, so much that he opened his mouth wide and didn't react for a while.
The medicine bottle shook in front of his eyes, "Although it's just a delay, but in the process of mobilizing your immune system to resist the virus, you will be very painful, so be prepared."
you, uh..."
Tang Xiao tapped his head, "No, you have to live."
Looking at the blank round face on the opposite side, her expression suddenly became extremely serious, changing from the easygoing before, looking directly into Fat Zhou's eyes, "We will go to the capital base, where research is being done to cure zombies The antidote to the virus. This bottle won't cure the virus, but it will keep you going until we get to the capital—as long as you keep at it."
Seeing the moment Fat Zhou was injured, a thought settled in her mind.
Be sure to heal him.
They are not only friends, but also partners and teammates. If she is not a player from another plane, but an ordinary aboriginal, maybe now she can only watch Fat Zhou gradually mutate and finally die.
But now, she has the power to change all this, even if the power is not strong enough, even if it is even insignificant, but only when she has the power, she can protect the people she wants to protect.
Pang Zhou is like this, Xiaohua is like this, Chen Guang and his party are like this, and even the scientists who sacrificed their lives in the base are like this.
Along the way, at this moment, she realizes more and more clearly that if she can't become stronger and stronger, then she will only lose more people.
"Can you do it?"
For him, what he fears most is not pain, but no hope for the future. And as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, and he can still be by his friend's side, he is already very satisfied.
Chen Guang also sniffed, patted his shoulder hard, and said in a hoarse voice, "If you dare to give up halfway, I will throw you into the wilderness!"
He knew in his heart that Fat Zhou was actually more timid than anyone else, and would rather fight zombies than stay in the wilderness alone.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard this word, Fat Zhou shrank his neck, he subconsciously wanted to hide his right hand, but was stabbed.
It turned out to be a little white face, he jumped out of the back of the car, after listening for so long, he finally had a chance to speak, I saw him take a close look at Fat Zhou's arm, and shouted loudly, "You need Surgery!"
Chen Guang was very vigilant about him, "Pang Zhou has already taken resistance medicine."
As soon as he heard the word drug resistance, Xiaobailian swallowed his saliva, staring at the little white bottle as if his eyes were about to glow, but he also knew that the top priority now was to integrate into the team, so he seriously Explain, "No no no, surgery to remove rotten meat is to prevent infection of other germs, and it is still necessary!"
Seeing this, Tang Xiao asked him, "Who will perform the surgery?"
Little white face smiled, immediately took out a large suitcase from the car, opened the box, and it was full of various medical equipment!
"I can!"
"Introduce myself," he showed his big white teeth, "My name is Zou Yiduo, I am a doctor of medicine graduated from Huaxia Medical University, and I have treated many wounded at the base in Zhaixing City!"
Chen Lingling: "Aren't you a reporter?"
Xiao Bailian explained: "That's a hobby, a doctor is my job!"
Now that the conditions are limited, a few people can only decide to let Xiaobailian do the surgery and give Fat Zhou a light on the spot, no, do an operation. Fortunately, Tang Xiao had all kinds of bandages and medicines in his backpack, and although Xiaobai face looked very unreliable, he started to fly steadily, and the excision process was extremely smooth. Until the final bandage, Fat Zhou still hadn't woken up from the effect of anesthesia.
Tang Xiao said: "Get in the car and call him again. It should be very uncomfortable when he wakes up."
Several people helped him to the back seat, Xiaobailian just got his tools and leaned over beside Tang Xiao, "Can I ask, where did you get the resistance medicine in your hand? ?"
He swallowed, "To tell you the truth, before our base... fell, there was a project that was researching resistance drugs, but the finished product has not yet been obtained, I didn't expect you to have it here! "
What he said did not surprise Tang Xiao. In the later stages of the game, this medicine was successively researched by major organizations. The birth of this medicine is hope, but the plan derived from it has greatly accelerated the pace of human destruction in this world.
But the plot trajectory has not yet reached that stage, and the resistance drugs in her hands are extremely rare. Tang Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to study?"
She said casually, but Xiao Bailian was overjoyed, "Are you really willing to let me study?"
Tang Xiao was taken aback, "Aren't you a doctor?"
"I specialize in medicine, and occasionally perform surgery, and I am also a Ph.D. in biology from Capital University!" Xiaobai face dug out a lot of documents from the big suitcase, looking earnestly, "I can, I can do it all. !"
