Somehow, Zhang Jike's voice seemed much weaker than before, and his whole person seemed to be wrapped in the breath of tiredness, and he would fall to the ground and fall asleep anytime and anywhere.
"Are you OK?"
Qiu Qianjun finally noticed something was wrong, tried to reach out to support the other person, and asked at the same time.
But Zhang Jike, who was walking forward slowly, waved his hand and gently pushed Qiu Qianjun's palm away. After indicating that there was nothing wrong with him, he whispered.
"I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first. Just remember to distribute these medicines to the injured brothers."
After he finished speaking, Zhang Jike ignored Qiu Qianjun who was in a daze and walked towards the end of the motorcade little by little.
"Aren't you going to see those injured brothers?"
Seeing that Zhang Jike planned to go back to the car directly, Qiu Qianjun asked subconsciously.
After all, in his understanding, those soldiers who were bitten and scratched by zombies were basically sentenced to death, and tonight's meeting was likely to be the last one.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Since Zhang Jike is part of the rescue force, there may be friends among them who are familiar with him, and they may never see him again after tonight.
"I won't go. I don't have many acquaintances. I probably don't know those brothers either. Remember to give them aspirin."
Shaking his head slightly, Zhang Jike repeated the words for the injured soldier to take medicine, and then shuffled slowly into the darkness.
"Is this medicine really useful?"
He stared blankly at the disappearing figure in front of him, then looked down at the cloth bag in his hand.
In Qiu Qianjun's impression, the effect of aspirin is probably anti-inflammatory and analgesic. It has a wide range of applications and has no side effects. It can be called a "panacea."
But is this drug really effective in fighting secondary viral infections?
The small white pills lay quietly in the cloth bag, looking so inconspicuous.
"No matter, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor..."
With this thought in his mind, Qiu Qianjun quickened his pace and walked towards the middle of the convoy where the wounded were placed.
The other end.
Zhang Jike, who was walking slowly, came to the end of the convoy, bypassed the crowded side, and came to the side and rear of the car.
At this time, he had long lost his previous state of leisurely strolling, and his whole body was slightly arched, shaking like chaff.
Like a critically ill patient who is paralyzed, even the simple action of opening the car door becomes very difficult. After trying several times, not only did the door fail to open, but the body swayed and lost its center of gravity, almost falling to the ground.
"Captain Zhang, are you okay?"
The driver's door opened, Yan Hanben got out of the car, and hurriedly supported Zhang Jike.
"It's okay, just help me in, don't let others see..."
Zhang Jike, who was apparently calm and composed just now, is now like a dying old man, shaky and out of breath.
"Xiao Xiao and the others haven't come back yet?"
With the help of Yan Hanben, his trembling body was able to stand still. However, after seeing the worried eyes of Shao Xiuqi and Uncle Ni alone in the car, Zhang Jike knew that Ma Long and Xu Xiaoxiao had not returned yet.
"Yes, I haven't come back since I left..."
Hearing that Yan Hanben confirmed his guess, Zhang Jike became more and more uneasy, but his current situation was not optimistic, and he could not do anything but rest in peace first.
With the help of Uncle Ni and Yan Hanben, Zhang Jike sat back in the back seat.
return
Before he could sit up firmly, the soldier tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep.
Shao Xiuqi and Uncle Ni on the side saw each other so motionless and wondered if something was wrong. They quickly stretched out their hands under Zhang Jike's nose. After feeling the weak but steady breathing, they regained their consciousness. Put it back in the stomach.
It was around two o'clock in the morning. Shao Xiuqi, Yan Hanben and Uncle Ni looked at each other for a while, and then looked at the soldiers who ran past the motorcade from time to time.
"Then what should we do next..."
Yan Hanben scratched his head. In fact, there was no light source around the convoy. Only the moonlight that appeared from time to time in the sky served as lighting.
Although the surrounding zombies have now been cleared away by soldiers, humans have an innate fear of darkness. Standing in the darkness for a long time made Yan Hanben's inner uneasiness more and more obvious.
"How about we go find Xiao Xiao and Ma Long?"
Shao Xiuqi suggested.
Although she didn't know where the two of them went, they probably didn't leave the large army. They were probably taken to a military vehicle.
"I don't think we need to look for them. This is the army. The two of them are so skilled, so there won't be any danger. On the contrary, we ordinary people should be careful."
Uncle Ni thought for a moment and said.
The old man's words were very pertinent, and the key points were pointed out in just a few words.
The surrounding environment is not very safe now. If the three of them were ordinary people walking around at will, they might encounter some danger.
Once they are in danger, Ma Long and the others have to spare their energy to take care of them.
So the best way now is to stay in the car and wait for Ma Long and Xu Xiaoxiao to return.
When the situation is unclear, ensuring your own safety and not becoming a drag on your companions is the best support for them.
"Well, then let's stay in the car, Yan Hanben. You can sleep for a while longer, and I'll do the night watch."
Shao Xiuqi turned around and said a few words to Yan Hanben, then stepped aside to make way for Uncle Ni to enter the car first.
"Okay, just call me if you need anything."
Yan Hanben nodded when he heard this, and immediately got into the cab, hugged his arms, and soon started snoring.
Shao Xiuqi looked around cautiously, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, she also got into the car.
Time passed quietly amidst Yan Hanben's regular snoring. When footsteps appeared again around him, the pointer on the dial was already close to four o'clock. The sky in the east showed a white fish belly, and the light around the motorcade quickly became abundant.
"Xiao Xiao? You're back!"
After Shao Xiuqi saw the appearance clearly, she immediately opened the locked car door and let Xu Xiaoxiao and Ma Long enter the car.
At this time, Xu Xiaoxiao had put on a standard military uniform. The clean black color matched with the sweet appearance of a female college student made Shao Xiuqi, a young woman, stunned for a moment.
"How about it, isn't it very handsome!"
Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to be in a good mood. He turned around in a circle, showed off his clothes, and whispered to show off.
"Why did you change your clothes? Where's Ma Long?"
"The original clothes were all dirty and full of zombie body fluids, so I simply threw them away. Mr. Ma Long was still staying in the injured vehicle, saying he wanted to see the recovery of other injured people."
"Zombie body fluids? Wounded people?"
Shao Xiuqi's little mouth unknowingly opened into "
O" shape, eyes full of surprise and fear.
When the large army was attacked by zombies, although Ma Long and Xu Xiaoxiao got out of the car, Shao Xiuqi and the rest of the ordinary people stayed in the car and did not get out of the car to check.
The dark environment at that time, coupled with the screams and wails that came from time to time, frightened the few people in the car.
Fortunately, Zhang Jike was still in the car at the time and comforted everyone to deal with it calmly, so they didn't get into trouble first.
But not long after, Zhang Jike also left the car. Before leaving, he specifically told everyone not to leave the car and to evacuate immediately if there was any danger.
Afterwards, the surrounding area returned to calm, and Zhang Jike dragged his feet back to the end of the convoy.
Although everyone in the car remained awake throughout the entire process of the zombie attack on the convoy, they actually had no idea what was going on around them. They only knew that the large group seemed to have been attacked by zombies.
"Yes, I killed a horse-level zombie and tore out its spine in one fell swoop."
Xu Xiaoxiao's face was full of pride, and he made a pulling movement with his hand while speaking, which made Shao Xiuqi's heart skip a beat.
"Horse-level zombies? Aren't they the kind of mutated zombies we saw on the riverside yesterday? Didn't Captain Ma say that this mutated zombie was dangerous, but you actually killed it!"
"Yes, this kind of zombie looks scary, but in fact, as long as you keep a distance from it and hug its upper body, there will be nothing it can do to you."
"Hold, hug the upper body of the horse-level zombie..."
The young woman's face turned pale. Based on her life experience of not even daring to watch horror movies before the end of the world, she could not imagine what it was like when Xu Xiaoxiao hugged the hideous-looking horse-level zombie.
Seemingly satisfied with Shao Xiuqi's surprised look, Xu Xiaoxiao continued to talk.
"Actually, I was also frightened at the time, because the mutated zombie was so insidious and liked to sneak attacks. There was no light around, so I was almost torn apart by one of its claws."
"But fortunately, I reacted quickly and blocked it with a baseball bat in time. By the way, you know, the claws of a horse-level zombie can actually split a metal baseball bat. It almost scared me to death at the time."
"Because I had no weapons, I could only be beaten passively, so I didn't know where I got the courage at that time, so I suddenly hugged the horse-level zombie."
"Then there was a burst of beatings. Anyway, by the time I reacted, my hand had already been inserted into the zombie's abdominal cavity and was grabbing its spine."
"Then it clicks!"
After saying this, Xu Xiaoxiao became excited and pretended to break the spine with his bare hands, seeming to be very satisfied with his performance.
"Uh hehe, Xiao Xiao, you are so great..."
Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao's beaming expression, Shao Xiuqi's face became paler and paler, and she felt that her spine was starting to hurt. She quickly waved her hands to praise and signaled the other party to stop talking.
"Sister Xiu Qi, don't worry. After this battle, I found that I am fully capable of protecting the team. From now on, everyone's safety can be trusted to me!"
Having said this, the girl patted her chest confidently, indicating that the other party could put her heart in her belly.
"Okay, hurry up and get some rest in the car. Although you are a strengthener, your body is not made of iron. While there is still time, hurry up and get some sleep."
Like an elder sister urging her younger sister, a look of love appeared on Shao Xiuqi's face. She opened the car door with one hand and signaled Xu Xiaoxiao to take a rest...
