While standing on the city wall, looking at the zombies and mutant beasts that were constantly fighting each other and charging at the base, Wang Xiaoxiao felt that the smell of carrion and blood was everywhere.
His eyes were blank for a while, and a painful groan sounded in his ears.
Wang Xiaoxiao came to his senses and ran quickly to the injured person's side, "How are you doing? Do you have a first aid kit?"
"No... no!" The injured man gritted his teeth and spit out two words, using his last strength to hand Wang Xiaoxiao a source core, "Exchange, exchange!"
Holding the blood-stained source core, Wang Xiaoxiao quickly redeemed his points, took out the first aid kit, and quickly bandaged the wounded's wounds, "Come here, there are injured people here, they have been bandaged and sent to a safe place to recover!"
As Wang Xiaoxiao shouted, two ordinary survivors with red cross signs tied on their arms rushed out from the side. They neatly opened the stretcher, put the injured on it, and trotted down the city wall. A series of actions seemed to be rehearsed. I've read it hundreds of times, and there's not a single word of nonsense from beginning to end.
There was no time for emotion, Wang Xiaoxiao walked quickly towards the next injured person.
Time passed by with repeated actions, and the sounds of fighting gradually faded away. In Wang Xiaoxiao's eyes, only the injured survivors were left. Occasionally, someone came up to buy other supplies, and she just mechanically handed out the supplies they needed. .
After handing over a wounded person in his hand again, Wang Xiaoxiao raised his eyes and locked the other injured person. The moment he stood up, a warm hand pressed on her shoulder, it was Xiang Xiu.
She looked at Xiang Xiu's face full of concern and watched her mouth open and close, but Wang Xiaoxiao seemed to be unable to hear the outside world and just stared at her blankly.
Until Xiang Xiu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes several times, "Boss Wang, Boss Wang, can you hear me?"
Xiang Xiu's anxious voice reached the eardrum. Wang Xiaoxiao nodded and pressed down his dizzy palm, "I can hear it. What's wrong with you?"
In response to Wang Xiaoxiao, Xiang Xiu's eyes became increasingly worried, "Boss Wang, go and rest for a while."
"Rest? I don't need to!" Wang Xiaoxiao waved his hand and started to walk towards the injured.
But Xiang Xiu didn't mean to give up. He turned around and stood firmly in front of Wang Xiaoxiao, "Boss Wang, you need to rest!"
"I don't have to. How long has it been? I'm not tired at all." Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and felt that Xiang Xiu was really making a fuss.
Holding Wang Xiaoxiao's arm tightly with both hands, Xiang Xiu said loudly: "Boss Wang, you have been bandaging the wounded all day and night without sleep. Are you telling me that you are not tired?"
"What?" Wang Xiaoxiao was stunned.
She has been working day and night without sleep?
Why didn't she feel anything at all? She even felt that she was just bandaging a few injured people.
"Boss Wang, you need to rest!" Xiang Xiu's eyes were filled with worry and his tone was unquestionable.
Opening her mouth, Wang Xiaoxiao said she wasn't tired, but once she was told to stop, the fatigue that came from her body couldn't be deceived.
Seeing that Wang Xiaoxiao didn't speak, Xiang Xiu pushed Wang Xiaoxiao's back and took Wang Xiaoxiao down the city wall forcefully. After placing her on the camp bed and watching Wang Xiaoxiao close her eyes to rest, Xiang Xiu Then he left.
After a day and night of fighting, the walls of the entire base were stained red with blood, and there were body parts and pieces of meat everywhere, including those of humans, zombies, and mutant beasts.
At first, Shi Maochang and others tried to deal with the mutant plants in the base before fully dealing with the zombies and mutant beasts besieging the city. However, after losing dozens of elites, they found that the mutant metasequoia tree only lost some leaves and cones. After that, they began to think about whether it was necessary to fight with the mutated plants now.
After all, the attack range of the mutated plant is limited, and the root system cannot move. Although it is given time to develop, it may eventually cause the entire base to fall, but that will happen in the future.
In the end, after discussion, the base's senior management unanimously decided to be wary of the metasequoia forests and not to eliminate them for the time being. They only moved all the survivors living near the metasequoia forests and sent a team of ten people to guard them outside. , the remaining combat power is fully used to deal with the crisis outside the city.
The fighting was still going on, but Wang Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep. In the dream, she was covered in blood, dragging an injured leg. After she was so hungry that she was dizzy, she barely lifted the dirt and gravel above her head, and crawled out with force. After the ruins, what came into view were the ruins of the city, and the strong smell of blood made her retching.
This is the fourth base she has lived in after the apocalypse. She found a job moving sand and soil, working 12 hours a day and taking care of three meals. Each meal included a multi-grain steamed bun and a bowl of wild vegetable porridge at noon.
She had to fight to get such a job. The staff member who was originally responsible for this job disliked that although she was a boy, she was too thin and feared that she would not be qualified for the job. In the end, she had to work hard to get it. He secretly gave the other party two first-level source cores to get the job.
But now, everything is ruined. There is a zombie siege, the base defense line has collapsed, and everyone is running for their lives.
Wang Xiaoxiao is just an ordinary person, and she has no relatives, so no one will care about her at all.
She can't run, she can't escape. With her little speed, running outside is like a rabbit jumping in front of a lion.
She could only bravely hide in the underground corpse cellar, which is where the base stores corpses. Once the number reaches a certain limit, the staff will transport them out and burn them centrally.
The crisis broke out so suddenly that the corpses in the corpse cellar had not had time to be disposed of.
Many people think this place is unlucky and gloomy. Except for the staff, no one wants to come here, and this has become the only place where Wang Xiaoxiao can hide.
He carefully entered the corpse cellar, hugged his legs with his hands, and huddled in a corner. Wang Xiaoxiao's eyes were fixed on the entrance of the corpse cellar.
Although she had moved tables and chairs to block the entrance when she came in, there was no doubt that someone had the same idea as her.
Here, the corpses are not scary. What is scary are the survivors as 'companions' and the zombies who regard humans as food.
She sat in the corner, not daring to move at all. She didn't know what was going on outside, for fear of making a little noise to attract the attention of the outside world. While Wang Xiaoxiao was hiding in the corpse cellar, the door panel shook several times. , someone was banging desperately outside trying to get in for many crises. She heard it, but did not move. Finally, the shaking of the door panel stopped with the screams.
I don't know how long it took, but Wang Xiaoxiao remained in a curled-up position. Her body gradually became stiff and numb. Without food and water, she felt weak and her lips were chapped, but she still did not dare to move.
Until bursts of earth-shattering roars sounded, before she could react, the corpse cellar collapsed, and large tracts of gravel and soil fell.
The lack of energy and the sudden roar caused Wang Xiaoxiao to fall into a coma.
