"What's your name?" Chen Xin allowed the woman to reprocess the wound on his forehead. Because it hurt a little, he chatted with her to distract himself.
"Zeng Liu, the willow of the willow tree, my father is not very educated. When he was naming me, he saw the willow tree on the ditch at the door, so he named me like this." The woman, Zeng Liu, carefully removed Chen Xin's forehead with tweezers. An old piece of gauze was peeled off, and a cotton ball dipped in alcohol was used to clean the scabbed wound on his forehead.
After cleaning the wound, Zeng Liucai said to Chen Xin: "Although the use of hemostatic powder you used before was a correct emergency response, it also had a slight impact on the wound and may leave a scar."
"It's a small problem, nothing to worry about." Chen Xin didn't mind having an extra scar on his head. It was no big deal for a man.
The car drove to the mall under the control of the operating system. After Zeng Liu re-applied medicine and bandage to Chen Xin's forehead, he packed up the things on the table, put them back into the medical kit, and put the dirty gauze that he had replaced. Throw it in the trash can in the car.
Feeling the wound that Zeng Liu had re-bandaged, Chen Xin glanced at her and said, "Your bandaging skills are good, thank you. If you can heal my hand, I can help you leave this county."
Hearing Chen Xin's words, Zeng Liuming moved consciously, but did not express anything. He just nodded to show that he knew about it.
There are no living people in this county. Zeng Liu and his group could see a few living people in the city before, but now there are fewer and fewer living people, and they haven't seen anyone else for a long time.
Nowadays, supplies are getting scarcer and scarcer. Although the supplies that can be collected in this county are not lacking, the supplies that they can collect have been almost exhausted.
In this situation, if they cannot leave the county and go to a shelter elsewhere, the outcome waiting for them will undoubtedly be death. The difference is just a matter of choosing between death by freezing, starving, or dying of illness.
So when Chen Xin said he could take her away, Zeng Liu was really moved.
It's just that Chen Xin's attitude and the gun in his hand scared Zeng Liu. She couldn't believe Chen Xin at this time, and she didn't dare to show too much excitement.
The two of them didn't say much, and the car quickly drove near the shopping mall.
After driving the car into the underground parking lot, Chen Xin found a place that was protected from the wind and stopped the car. He said to Zeng Liu: "Go find your companion. You can bring the medicine there first. After you finish handling your affairs, Just bring someone here to treat me.”
"I know. I'll come back as soon as I deliver the medicine." Zeng Liu nodded, saying that he didn't know how to play tricks.
Just now, Chen Xin had shown her the surveillance capabilities of the drone, and at the same time, she understood that what Chen Xin was holding was a real gun. This made Zeng Liu even more scared, and at the same time, he became more and more afraid to have other ideas.
It's the end of the world now. In the past half year of struggling to survive, Zeng Liu has witnessed someone murder more than once.
In Zeng Liu's view, to be able to live so well in the last days and still have these weapons in his hands, Chen Xin must not be a good man or woman. She didn't dare to bet on whether Chen Xin dared to shoot.
After getting out of the car, he re-wrapped the scarf he had taken off in the car to clean Chen Xin's wounds. Zeng Liu couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning, letting his head be overheated by the heater from staying in Chen Xin's car. Cool down and also allow yourself to calm down emotionally.
She glanced back at Chen Xin's car and bit her lip. She knew clearly that Chen Xin's two drones were monitoring her companions to prevent her from playing any tricks.
But Zeng Liu knew that he couldn't do any tricks, but his companions could...
Zeng Liu shook his head, shook these thoughts out of his mind, and squeezed the medicine in his hand. No matter what, if he got the medicine, his friend would be saved.
Passing through the silent and dark underground garage, Zeng Liu relied on the small flashlight in her hand to go down to the next level of the underground garage. This place has also been transformed into a shelter, but now only Zeng Liu and her companions live here.
Although the facilities in the shelter were relatively complete, they lacked supplies and had no way to start the heating boiler or use the generator. They could only dismantle some furniture from the shopping mall above and use it as firewood to keep warm.
This is also the reason why Chen Xin did not scan the heat source. After all, there were only one or two bonfires, and the heat had almost dissipated before it was transferred to the surface through the ventilation ducts.
"Zeng Liu, are you back? Have you found the medicine?" Seeing Zeng Liu's return, a companion who had been waiting for her hurriedly came up to her with a happy face.
Zeng Liu nodded at him and asked him, "How is Sister Ning's condition? Is her condition stable?"
While asking, Zeng Liu also looked at the other companions sitting around a dim bonfire. She was most worried about these people. They were not Zeng Liu's companions at the beginning, but were in the county seat. It only appeared here after a large-scale evacuation.
Zeng Liu didn't know where this group of people came from, but Zeng Liu had seen them kill people.
Since then, Zeng Liu and her companions have kept a distance from this group of people. With the presence of two policemen and a pistol among their companions, they were able to intimidate the group of people and maintain peace on both sides.
But now one of the policemen in Zeng Liu's group has fallen ill. While the deterrent effect has weakened, it has also made the other party a little more ready to take action.
The reason Zeng Liu took the risk to find medicine was, on the one hand, because the sick person was her friend, and on the other hand, it was also to maintain her own deterrence.
"Fortunately, I have been using a towel to apply heat to her. The situation is quite stable now. Have you got the medicine?" The companion who came over was another policeman, but he and the sick Sister Ning were just ordinary people. The civilian police are even the kind of unorganized auxiliary police.
If the uniforms they wore were not a bit of a deterrent, and they brought a gun from the police station, they would not be able to deter the homeless people who looked like they were not good people at first sight.
Originally, he did not approve of Zeng Liu going out to look for medicine, but in this situation, once one of the two deterrent policemen on their side falls, the fragile balance between their small group and the other party will be broken.
"We've got the medicine. Let's go to Sister Ning's room and let her take the medicine first." After saying that, Zeng Liu took his companion and planned to go back to the room where they lived.
However, just as they were about to walk into the room, several people in the group beside the campfire stood up and blocked Zeng Liu's path: "It's really unexpected that you actually got the medicine, but I think it’s better not to waste this medicine, since she’s almost dying of illness anyway, so it’s better to keep this medicine for us as it can be of greater use.”
