"Still two-in-one, thank you to Lingnan for the 588 reward, thank you to Leng Qiu, Angel, Yexi White Rabbit and many other book friends for their rewards and monthly recommendations. Thank you all. 》
Chen Jinhong looked at an open small supermarket thirty meters away and licked his chapped lips involuntarily.
His eyes scanned the surroundings, and as far as he could see, there were several skeletons hanging with pieces of cloth. Occasionally, the shadow of a zombie staggered past in the distance.
Further away, there is a seven-story residential building. A floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor has broken into a big hole. A climbing rope hangs from the inside, and a person is tied to the tail. He is following the high-altitude wind on the building. The body was wandering around, and from time to time it hit the outdoor unit of the air conditioner on the side, making a banging sound.
Downstairs, zombies raised their heads from time to time, looking for the source of the sound, sniffing hard with their empty nostrils, not wanting to miss any chance of finding food.
There were some noises in the small supermarket, which meant there was danger there. Although it was only a small county next to Yingcheng, it still had a permanent population of tens of thousands, and even had a county-level hospital with good conditions.
Thinking of this, Chen Jinhong felt a little aggrieved. If he had not come to this hospital to teach medical staff, he would not be trapped here.
Thinking of Yingcheng's family, Chen Jinhong has become very pessimistic, and the survival problem before him is already huge. If he can no longer find food and drink, according to his doctor's professional judgment, he will not survive for three days.
His body is now very weak.
Chen Jinhong planned to go in, but he had to go in. His energy would be basically exhausted tomorrow, and at that time, there would be no hope of finding food.
Hunching down, the youngest professor of general surgery in England rushed into the supermarket.
The room was dark, and exuded a faint stench that survivors of the apocalypse were already very familiar with. It was the smell of rotting corpses.
Chen Jinhong glanced around and found no danger. The noise from here just now disappeared. He couldn't care about anything else, because there were several boxes of biscuits on the shelf only two meters away from him, even if they were covered with dust. Still recognized by Chen Jinhong.
He jumped because it was his life.
"Hey, another one took the bait."
A big hand suddenly grabbed the back of Chen Jinhong's neck and dragged him away from the shelf with huge force. The doctor's fingertips were only centimeters away from the boxes of biscuits.
With a bang, Chen Jinhong was thrown to the ground. Due to hunger and this force, his head was dizzy for a few seconds. When the world stopped spinning, he felt a hand groping on his body.
"Damn it, don't you even have a magic crystal?"
At this time, Chen Jinhong saw clearly that the person who knocked him to the ground was a strong man with a height of 1.9 meters and a beard. There is a bad smell on my body.
Seeing Chen Jinhong looking at him, the big man couldn't help but slap him in the face, and the crisp sound echoed in the small supermarket.
"Poor man, you don't have any money, how do you survive till now?"
Chen Jinhong felt that his face was swelling rapidly, and his vision on this side was affected.
Chen Jinhong held his head and arched his body. He didn't have anything. It's not like he had never gotten magic crystal before, but he exchanged food with a team, and the people in that team were pretty good. I treated the wounds of some of them and gave myself an extra bottle of water.
Now there is nothing in him that is worthy of others' covetousness. In this situation, he will inevitably be beaten.
But Chen Jinhong waited for two seconds. But he didn't wait for the hard fist. He looked out through the gap between his arm and his head, and caught a glimpse of the shadow of a stick being struck violently.
His body suddenly collided with the big man's position. After the stick hit the ground, the big man was also knocked away. Chen Jinhong endured the pain and pushed himself on the ground with one hand. The other hand scratched between the strong man's head and neck.
Although it was just a few simple movements, for Chen Jinhong, it was enough to make him panting. He leaned against the cold wall of the supermarket, while recovering his strength, he looked at the other side who was already kneeling there, covering his hands with his hands. He grabbed his neck, but still couldn't stop the strong man spurting out blood.
He is not a killer, but he is a doctor, and he is also a very good surgeon. As long as he goes all out, killing is not difficult. For example, like this strong man now, the scalpel between Chen Jinhong's fingers only needs to make a cut on his neck. A centimeter-long opening will suffice.
There, is the carotid artery.
"It seems you don't need my help anymore."
A sudden voice startled Chen Jinhong. He stood up in a panic, holding a small scalpel in his hand, and saw a young man standing in a corner of the supermarket at some point.
"Doctor." The young man looked at a trace of blood on the scalpel, and then looked at the strong man who was lying on the ground and was about to turn into a corpse. "He should be a pretty good doctor."
"Let's go." The young man turned around and walked out, carrying a white sword behind him.
Looking at the back of the small supermarket, Chen Jinhong asked hesitantly: "Go, where are you going?"
"A place where the doctor can have a good meal. Oh, by the way, bring those boxes of biscuits. Maybe I can get you a wife in a while."
……………………………………………………………………………………
Four people sat around a room with windows blocked by steel bars, with doubtful looks on their faces.
"Third brother, are you telling the truth? Is there really a fool who collects scrap metal?" A skinny man scratched his face and expressed strong doubts about the news he just learned.
"Of course, the black-clad convoy knows about it. Now many people around are aware of the news they brought. It seems that there is a new group of people at Yunding Villa who specializes in collecting abandoned vehicles. I heard that there are people there. I exchanged an abandoned car for freshly baked steamed buns as big as my fist!"
"Why do I always feel unreliable?"
Another person asked, "Such pie-in-the-sky good things are rare in peacetime, but can they still be like this in the apocalypse?"
"You can tell if it's true or not. There are junk cars all over the place now. Find one that can be driven, drive it there and see if you can sell it. Even if it's fake, we won't lose anything." .”
"Okay, it's settled, let's go find a trolley."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Yuan, Brother Yuan. Are you serious?"
A middle-aged man looked at Yuan Shang and asked suspiciously. Behind him, there were more than a dozen people with ragged clothes and yellow faces and thin muscles.
"Old Zhang. We knew each other before, and we have a certain affection for each other. When the end of the world comes, you come to my place to exchange food for food, and this affection becomes even stronger. Do I need to lie to you about this kind of thing?"
Yuan Shang sat in the car. He said to the middle-aged man through the car window: "Yundingshan Villa really needs people. If you have skills, it will be best and you will get a good salary. If you don't have skills and strength, you can do it. I don't know if you can eat enough with strength, but in the end You won't starve to death. You are better than you are now, right? It has only been a few days, and there are four or five fewer people than the last time I saw you. Now you can still use magic crystals to exchange for some food with us every now and then. In the future, people will get better and better. There are less and less people coming. What to do if you kill the zombies? What I said is also a way out, please think about it."
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, "Okay, then we will listen to you and try our luck at Yunding."
"Remember after you went there, you said I introduced you there."
Seeing this group of people heading towards Yunding in excitement, one of Yuan Shang's men finally couldn't help but asked: "Boss, what do you think this Yunding Villa is going to do? We can't afford to live now, so why are they the only ones doing this? Do we need people? We still need a lot of people. Why do you think this is not the case?"
Yuan Shang chuckled: "So, you can drive for me. It won't make a difference."
Seeing his subordinates smiling sarcastically, Yuan Shang said sternly: "Let me tell you, Ye Zhongming from Yunding Villa has big plans. Compared with others, we are at a lower level, so it is normal not to understand their methods very well. We just need to Just do errands for them and get some benefits. As for the future, let's just watch and see what they want to do."

While news about a new base was circulating in the surrounding land, the leader of the base was participating in an operation.
The gloves Zhang Jinhong was wearing were stained red with blood, and the hand inside, which had always been steady, was trembling slightly.
He has never seen such a strange situation.
At this moment, in the patient's opened abdominal cavity, there were actually some thin branches dancing. His wrist was accidentally slapped just now, and it is still hurting now.
After being brought back by this young man named Ye Zhongming yesterday, I had several good meals and a long sleep. Today I stood on the operating table and underwent such a frightening operation.
"Calm down, are these as scary as the clumps of roundworms?"
Ye Zhongming frowned, wore a mask, and grabbed some light-colored branches with both hands.
"Extract all these things from the blood vessels. The operation is half done. Now it's your job. Do you see the white roots? Dig along and dig out every root system."
Zhang Jinhong thought that this thing was much scarier than roundworms, but he did not dare to say it out loud, so he had to concentrate on picking out the roots that had penetrated into various internal organs.
There was no blood transfusion, no oxygen, or even anesthesia. The woman named Sister Rong was just knocked unconscious, and the operation was carried out in a room that was not sterile at all.
This was something Zhang Jinhong could not imagine before. He was assisted by a fat nurse who graduated from a nursing school and didn't even know where he came from. He was not very professional at first glance. The rest was the one who took care of himself. The boss Ye who was brought here and a pretty intellectual beauty, said to be surnamed Park.
Although he had never undergone such a simple operation, Zhang Jinhong saw an even more magical scene in the world.
Whenever he used his superb skills to slightly cut open the internal organs penetrated by the white roots and skillfully pick out the roots, the intellectual beauty would stretch out her fingers and emit a white chain of light, softly touching the place where he had just operated the knife. , usually only for a second or two. When the white light disappears, the wounds there magically recover.
Zhang Jinhong then learned a little more about the world.
The operation lasted for four hours. He knew the process before the operation and concluded that the woman who could not survive disappeared from the huge wound in a white light without using any stitches. She was breathing steadily, as if she was sleeping. Average.
"Dr. Zhang, thank you for your hard work. You are also tired. Go back and have a good rest. There will be two similar operations that you need to perform in the next few days."
Ye Zhongming patted the doctor's shoulder and sounded more appreciative.
Sister Rong's surgery went smoother than expected, mainly due to Dr. Zhang Jinhong. Ye Zhongming really didn't expect that this doctor, who was not yet forty years old, could use a scalpel so well.
Maybe it's not appropriate to describe a doctor's medical skills like this, but it's the fact.
Momo, Jiayi and several other women who had been waiting outside gathered around and heard that the operation was successful. They were relieved after Sister Rong was fine, but when they saw the hypocritical ghost sapling that suddenly lost its nutrients, their faces showed fear.
Who would have thought that the fruit that can evolve after eating it is a lie, it is just a parasite on the body. If it weren't for Ye Zhongming, they would have become tree people in a few days.
Momo and Jiayi, who thought that they had this kind of thing in their bodies now, rushed out together after looking at the hypocritical ghost seedlings for a while.
They vomited.
After leaving the villa, which had been used for medical treatment, Xia Lei, who had been waiting there for a long time, came to greet her.
"You tyrant who has your own way, your retribution has come! I will punish you on behalf of the moon."
Xia Lei shook a piece of paper with dense notes in her hand and said "viciously" to Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming snorted and shot back: "Please pay attention to your age."
The young woman directly took out Fengyue and shouted that she and Ye Zhongming would fight to the death.
"Let me give you a hand!" Ye Zhongming said disdainfully, and then smiled: "Is something wrong?"
Xia Lei laughed twice and frowned slightly.
"I don't know why you are so anxious to recruit people now. But congratulations, the publicity of the black convoy is quite good. The number of survivors who have come here in the past three days has exceeded 300, especially yesterday when we removed the zombies around After everything has been cleared, the road leading here is no longer dangerous, and more and more people are coming to the villa, more than a hundred people came today."
"Actually, the base can be built slowly. If you are in such a hurry, many problems will emerge." Xia Lei looked at Ye Zhongming, who had a slightly stubborn and irritating look on his face, and had the urge to go up and take a bite. "The most prominent one is the food issue."
"Originally, there was a lot of food in the storage area at Lu Yi, and with some exchanged from Yuan Shang, maintaining the previous number of people can keep us from going hungry for two months. But now, even if we don't take into account the gradual increase in the number of people, the remaining The food we ordered can only last us less than a month. If we accept more people..."
"Well, is there anything else?"
Xia Lei choked and gritted her teeth and said, "This problem is already huge. What will we eat if we run out of food? Drink milk!"
Ye Zhongming looked at Xia Lei's tall and straight breasts. She didn't say anything, which made Xia Lei blush, but as she was a stranger after all, she immediately puffed up her chest and raised her eyebrows provocatively.
Now it was Ye Zhongming's turn to lower his head and pretend to cough.
"There are also those scrapped car metals and other things you want to collect. Many people have come to exchange them in the past few days. Basically, they are asking for food, and some are asking for magic crystals. However, I did not agree to your request. Although every The amount of money paid for the scrap car is not much, but dozens of them have been delivered in the past few days. It may not be too much trouble now, but once more people are exchanged, the food that is not much will be even less. ”
Ye Zhongming still nodded and still did not return to the question.
Xia Lei ignored it and continued: "This is only the immediate problem, there are more derivative problems, such as the lives of survivors, cleanliness, safety, stability, health, etc., such as the external forces brought by these news coveted, such as..."
"Anyway, there are many problems. What does Mr. Ye want to do?"
The two people were talking and walking, and they had arrived near the survivor's camp. These newcomers were arranged in the meeting area. Now it has been separated from several other areas with wire ropes and the like, and there are also people holding weapons around. Sentry with gun.
Many people were sitting outside in twos and threes, some talking loudly, some looking at the sky in a daze, and some wandering around.
"Aren't there a lot of work clothes from the previous villa over there in the storage area? Take them out and let these people wash them briefly and put them on. Put some minced meat from first-level mutated animals in the food to appropriately improve their physical fitness. In the conference area Let them clear out the rockery and decoration area. It can be regarded as temporary labor. Let them get used to it before we start the construction of the fence."
"good."
"Don't stop buying the abandoned cars. That stuff will be the material for me to make swords in the future. No matter how much I collect, it won't be too much. Our standard equipment will depend on this in the future."
Xia Lei felt warm, knowing that it was Ye Zhongming's trust in her that made him reveal such information.
"Let Xiaohu's training be stepped up. They don't need to learn everything. Just let them learn how to position themselves in the team and follow the rules and regulations. Give him five more days at most. After Sister Rong and the three of them are in better health, We are about to leave for the machine factory."
Xia Lei kept all this in her mind.
"The bell rings!"
Liang Chuyin ran over from the other side with a serious look on her face.
"A group of people came to the door and brought many scrap cars and people. They said they wanted to do business with us. There were many of them and they all had weapons. They looked quite fierce and...a bit arrogant."
"Do you want to die?" Xia Lei's eyes were slightly raised, murderous aura seeping out of her body.
"Let's go and have a look." Ye Zhongming smiled and walked towards the entrance of the villa with the two women. As he walked, he asked: "Did they say who they were from?"
"I didn't say," Liang Chuyin replied, "but one of Uncle Lu's men said that these people are from Yingcheng Prison."
Ye Zhongming's steps faltered and his eyes narrowed, "Zhang Dalong's people?"
…………………………………………………………………………
At the door, a short but strong bald man was sitting on the roof of a large trailer, holding a cigar in his right hand, looking down at Xiang Tao, who was in charge of guarding here today.
Behind him was a long motorcade filled with scrap cars, many of which had fresh blood stains on them. Behind these trucks, there were hundreds of people guarded by some guards with guns. Dirty survivors.
"That beautiful girl has been gone for so long, can she still come out? If there is no news, your Mr. Hu won't wait any longer, I will break in!" (To be continued.)
