Due to lack of nutrition, everyone you can see in this building has dull eyes and is struggling to get by.
When the two chariots drove into the building, they attracted the attention of almost everyone around them.
In such a slum, it is a great thing to have a friend who has modified a civilian car, let alone two real tanks, appearing in a place like this. What a novel thing it is.
Everyone was thinking about the purpose of the two chariots appearing here, but no one dared to step forward and just watched from a distance.
After all, it is a chariot, and the people sitting in it are all unruly bounty hunters. Not to mention killing people profusely, but they are definitely not easy to mess with. If you mess with them, it is possible to kill yourself. These guys travel around the world. , have no fixed abode, and the laws and regulations of various strongholds really cannot restrict them. If it were an ordinary civilian vehicle, someone would probably have come up to it, hoping to ask for some food, drink, or some daily necessities.
After the two tanks stopped, the first person to get off the jeep was a young man in a combat uniform, a leather cap, gloves, and a rifle on his back. Then the tank tank with him opened the hatch. At the door, another young man and a girl with a veil jumped out. Although she couldn't see her face, she couldn't hide her protuberance and her back. She was definitely not bad.
The young man took a look at the curious people around him and found that there was nothing suspicious or dangerous. Together with the young man who had come down before, he helped another young man out of the jeep who was covered in bruises and his face was bloody and bruised like a bloody gourd. People, and then a girl wearing ragged linen clothes got out of the car.
"Hey, isn't this An Dahai? Why was he beaten like this?"
"Yes, I heard before that his youngest son was ill. He was seriously ill. Dahai went to Tiedong to look for work with the idea of giving it a try? Why is the city like this?"
"It seems that it's not easy to get along over there in Iron Cave. I wanted to go before, but luckily I didn't go..."
"What? You don't know? I heard that the Dahai family has offended someone."
"Really? Who did you offend? Tell me?"
"It's not that girl who caused the trouble. It's like this, like this..."
Some of those watching the excitement knew An Ruo and his family, and those who knew about them were pointing, and those who didn't know the reason were talking about it.
Naturally, those who got out of the two tanks were Xiao Jinzi and Ma Tao, who were fully armed, and of course Su Lanxi. It was Ma Tao's request to carry weapons and ammunition.
There was a mix of people here. They had just arrived and were not familiar with the place. Ma Tao was afraid of encountering any danger. Carrying weapons could intimidate the young people. After all, it is necessary to be on guard against others. It is good to be careful in everything.
The girl An Ruo led the way, Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi supported An Ruo's father, Su Lanxi followed, and the group arrived at the dilapidated building.
Most of the people living here live in basements of buildings or parking lots, because living outside can easily expose you to danger. Without absolute strength and protection, you are seeking death.
Living underground is the safest and safest option, but the humidity is very high and there is no sunlight all year round. People here come out to get some air and bask in the sun when they have time, and the same goes for An Ruo and his family.
Ma Tao and his party walked into this building and came to the underground floor through a collapsed hole in the cement board. The air here was more humid and there was no sunlight at all. If it weren't for some dim light bulbs about ten meters away, there would be no way to see the sun. I don’t know the path under my feet.
Because of the difference in Ma Tao's temperament and clothes, wherever he passed, the eyes of the residents curled up in various places also followed them, including men, women, old and young.
"You live in a place like this? Why is this happening here? This is far worse than Seoul."
Su Lanxi looked at the ragged people around and said.
"Seoul? Where is that? This place is very good and safe. There are no monsters to disturb us. We are content to have a place to live."
An Ruo looked back at Su Lanxi, who was wearing a veil, and had no idea what Seoul she was talking about.
"The fact that Seoul has been comfortable for so long has absolutely nothing to do with the giant cannon position. Didn't Uncle Baichuan say that the giant cannon is actually used to block monsters? This also indirectly blocks Odo's monsters from going to Seoul. The monsters here are other The overall capabilities are obviously much better than those in Seoul.”
Ma Tao explained.
"Oh" Su Lanxi nodded to show that he understood, then walked a few steps quickly and came to An Ruo.
"You can go to Seoul. Although life there is not easy, it is much better than here. At least you don't have to hide underground all the time."
Su Lanxi found it hard to accept such a place, which reminded her of her dark time in Happy Forest.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ma Tao noticed that Xiao Jinzi's eyes brightened significantly, and he looked at the girl Anruo expectantly, waiting for her answer.
"Forget it, we have been living here and are already used to everything here. Besides..."
An Ruo didn't say anything further. She glanced at Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi, who were supporting her father, and sighed.
Xiao Jinzi seemed a little discouraged, and his eyes fell into that kind of hesitation again. Ma Tao saw it and knew that he was a little disappointed.
"Don't be discouraged. Going to Seoul is not a good choice. You are in the upper class and you don't know. The living conditions of ordinary people in Seoul are not optimistic. Let's not say whether you can reach Seoul or not. The dangers along the way alone may cause serious damage. Damn it, ordinary people, how can they have the money to hire escorts?"
Ma Tao looked at Anruo's father, who was still unconscious, and whispered.
"No, let's take them back via fax. I'm asking my dad..."
As Xiao Jinzi finished speaking, he suddenly saw Ma Tao looking at him with a strange smile on his face. He realized that he had been tricked by Ma Tao and was tricked into talking. He lowered his head and his face instantly turned red.
"Brother Tao, you are so unreasonable and you are trying to trick me..."
"No way? Are you serious? You, a rich man, are not just playing for fun? However, I still have to say, you'd better not mention An Ruo's matter to your parents."
Ma Tao put away the smile on his face and became serious.
"Why?"
Xiao Jinzi looked at Ma Tao in surprise.
"Based on what I know about your parents, they will never agree to you being with an ordinary person who can't even make a living. The phrase "well-matched" is just right when it comes to finding you a wife."
Ma Tao answered.
"No...my parents will agree...yes..."
Xiao Jinzi denied it, but his confidence in speaking was getting smaller and smaller.
Yes, maybe Xiao Jinzi's parents will agree to him following Ma Tao for training. That's because they see a future in Ma Tao, but marriage is different. The girl Anruo is very good, but for Xiao Jinzi's parents, she gives Without any help from Xiao Jinzi, or even needing help from Xiao Jinzi, she is just a drag, no matter her status or even the knowledge she has received, she cannot connect. It is understandable for such a girl to have fun with Xiao Jinzi, but she really agrees with them. Together, it is absolutely impossible to have children in the future. Xiao Jinzi's future marriage will be either a marriage of integrity or a marriage of strength. Anyway, it will never be a random arrangement. Not only Ma Tao knows this, but Xiao Jinzi also knows it well. Otherwise, I won’t lose my confidence in speaking.
"Here we are, this is my home, it's just a little small..."
While talking, the girl An Ruo led them to a simple wooden shanty house on the ground floor.
It is said to be a shanty house, but in fact it is not. It is a place built by oneself using some garbage and waste products. This is not only the case in Anruo's house, but also in almost all the places along Ma Tao's journey. People live in such places. , it’s so dirty and messy, there’s nowhere to stay in many places, and some places are filled with filth and the smell of feces and urine is pungent. What’s worse, people can just lie down on the floor and still sleep. They must have been used to the surroundings for a long time. I don't care about the environment anymore.
"Mom! I'm back"
A rag door curtain was opened, and a middle-aged woman with a haggard face came out. She was wearing the same coarse linen clothes, but it was much dirtier than the one on Anruo.
An Ruo's mother was obviously stunned when she saw so many people standing outside. When she saw her husband being supported by Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi, she suddenly panicked.
"This! What's going on? How could this happen..."
The middle-aged woman asked at a loss, with trembling hands and tears.
"Auntie, don't worry. He took ginseng pills and his life should not be in danger, but he is too weak and needs rest."
Ma Tao knew that An Ruo's mother must be frightened, so he quickly comforted the middle-aged woman's condition.
An Ruo reacted quickly and immediately opened the door curtain.
Before An Ruo's mother could recover, Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi had already helped An Ruo's father inside.
"Leave it here"
There was no bed in the room, just some hay as a bedding. There was a young man about the same age as Xiao Jinzi lying on it. His bloodless face was obviously sick. He was also in a coma. From time to time, he made sounds of pain. He must have been there. The youngest son of An Dahai.
Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi finally breathed a sigh of relief after laying Anruo's father and his son side by side. It was true that unconscious people would become dead.
"Is he your brother?"
Ma Tao asked, noticing the young man who was fighting the disease.
"Um"
An Ruo nodded and said
"He is my brother Ankang, but he is not safe and healthy. A week ago, he suddenly fell into a coma and couldn't eat anything. He could only drink some water. I don't know the reason at all. Our family is because of him... Now even my father is... …”
An Ruojie swallowed, her eyes turned red, she turned her head and couldn't speak any more.
"Don't worry, your father will be fine. He will probably wake up soon. After he wakes up, he should be fine if he eats something. Your brother is well...can I take a look?"
Ma Tao thought for a moment and asked with curiosity in his heart.
"You can save my brother!"
An Ruo was happy after hearing this.
"Uh, I'm not a doctor... I just want to take a look. Is it convenient?"
Ma Tao knew that his words had misunderstood An Ruo, so he explained awkwardly.
"You are my benefactors, there is nothing inconvenient or inconvenient for you, just take a look."
After hearing this, An Ruo nodded slightly disappointedly.
Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi looked at each other and then stepped forward to check.
An Ruo's younger brother Ankang is still conscious, his chest is rising and falling, and his breathing is steady. He looks like a normal person sleeping, but he doesn't wake up. He hasn't eaten in several days and can only rely on water to survive. He has lost weight. , you can still see the look of pain on his face from time to time, but he can't open his eyes and regain consciousness.
After observing for a while, Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi didn't notice He was coming, so they both raised their heads and looked at each other.
"How about it?"
Seeing the expressions of Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi, Anruo had already guessed the result, but she couldn't help but ask.
"You speak first"
Ma Tao looked at Xiao Jinzi and asked.
"I don't know, I haven't... never seen this... this kind of situation"
Xiao Jinzi became nervous as soon as he and An Ruo looked at each other, and his words became stuttered again.
"Try a ginseng pill first."
Ma Tao looked at Ankang who was lying down, and stretched out his hand to Xiao Jinzi. The latter looked at Ma Tao's stretched out hand awkwardly, but did not take the ginseng pill.
"At this"
Upon hearing this, the girl An Ruo quickly handed the two ginseng pills that Xiao Jinzi had given her to Ma Tao in her clothes.
Ma Tao looked at Xiao Jinzi, who dared not make eye contact with him, and said nothing.
An Ruo's brother was unconscious and unable to swallow and chew. Ma Tao could only get some water with his hands and feed it little by little with a broken spoon.
Five minutes later...
"It seems that the ginseng pills have no effect, which means he is not injured, but why is this?"
After observing, Ma Tao shook his head helplessly. He was really at his wits end.
An Ruo turned her eyes to Xiao Jinzi for help, and saw him shaking his head in the same way, knowing that there was really nothing he could do.
"If only I had someone who knew medicine."
Xiao Jinzi sighed.
"Even if there is, where can we find such a person?"
An Ruo wiped the tears on both sides of her cheeks and replied.
"Do you know medical skills?"
Ma Tao was suddenly stunned, and a sentence suddenly flashed in his head (I'm just a medical nurse...) Su Lanxi! This is what Su Lanxi said when Ma Tao first met the two sisters of the Su family in Happy Forest! Isn’t this someone who knows medical skills? Far away! So close!
"Lan Xi! Come in!"
Thinking of this, Ma Tao looked around and found that Su Lanxi had not followed. He was probably comforting An Ruo's mother outside, so he called her loudly.
"What's wrong? Calling me so loud?"
The rag door curtain was opened again. Su Lanxi, who was wearing a veil, looked at Ma Tao with wide eyes. Then An Ruo's mother, whose eyes were still red and swollen, also followed in. She glanced at her daughter without daring to say a word.
"Come and take a look. The one lying here is An Ruo's brother. I don't know what's going on, but he just won't wake up."
Ma Tao quickly pulled Su Lanxi to his side, and then asked him to see Ankang, who was also lying there.
"What's wrong with him? Is he asleep? That's not right."
Su Lanxi thought Ankang was sleeping at first, but he immediately realized something was wrong. Not only was Ankang showing pain from time to time, but also the way he looked now was not the place for him to sleep.
"You said you used to be a medical nurse, could you please take a look?"
Ma Tao grinned and pushed Su Lanxi out.
"I'm a nurse, but I'm not a doctor. I'm afraid..."
Su Lanxi waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this.
"Sister Lanxi, please help us. My brother has been in a coma for several days and can't eat anything. If this continues, he will..."
The girl An Ruo took Su Lanxi's hand and knelt down again as she spoke.
"Girl, aunt knows that you are a good person. Please save my son. Auntie also begs you."
An Ruo's mother here also knelt down when she heard that the girl she just talked to might be able to save her suffering son. The mother and daughter kneeling together made Su Lanxi very anxious, and even Xiao Jinzi beside him Looking at himself as if pleading, Su Lanxi could only look at Ma Tao as if asking for help.
"Hey, hey, hey! I said we have no choice but to leave if you do this. Get up quickly, we hate this the most!"
Ma Tao knew it was time for him to smooth things over, so he spoke sternly to An's mother and daughter, otherwise Su Lanxi would complain that he didn't help her get through this when she went back.
When Ma Tao saw the mother and daughter getting up, he approached Su Lanxi again and whispered:
"No one else here knows anything about medicine, so I'm counting on you. Just do your best."
Su Lanxi nodded nervously, and then slowly walked towards the unconscious Ankang.
I reached out and checked his hands, neck and feet, and found that there were no problems and his pulse was normal. Is this strange?
"Can he..."
After Su Lanxi finished speaking, her face turned red, and her green fingers touched the quilt covering Ankang's body. Anruo and her daughter quickly took the quilt away.
"besides……"
Su Lanxi's face turned even redder, and he pointed at Ankang lying there.
"There are also clothes and pants."
Su Lanxi was a girl after all. She was still unable to open her mouth to take off a strange man's pants, so Ma Tao did it for her.
"Have you all taken off your clothes?"
An Ruo looked at Su Lanxi and asked.
"Just leave the last one"
Ma Tao in his previous life had long been accustomed to not avoiding medical treatment when he was sick, but the current illness probably didn't require a complete cure, so he just opened his mouth to help Su Lanxi treat it.
An Ruo looked at Su Lanxi again, and seeing that she nodded, she and her mother took off all of Ankang's clothes, leaving only the last one.
"what is that?"
An Ruo and her daughter were taking off Ankang's clothes. As soon as they took off their clothes, Su Lanxi noticed at a glance that there was a bruise or even black spot on Ankang's back. The area was quite large, as big as the palms of two adults.
"I don't know. My brother has had it since he fell into coma, but it wasn't this big before."
An Ruo shook her head and answered.
Ma Tao looked at Ankang's black and purple back and felt that this thing was definitely related to Ankang's coma, but what exactly was it? how come?
"Don't touch it!"
Su Lanxi was staring at the black and purple piece, and suddenly saw Xiao Jinzi reaching out to touch it, and quickly stopped him.
"What's wrong, Sister Lanxi, is there something wrong with this thing?"
Xiao Jinzi's finger that he intended to touch stopped in mid-air and asked doubtfully.
"This this……"
"This thing is moving!!!"
Su Lanxi didn't say anything for a long time, but Ma Tao discovered something was wrong. Under the black and purple skin on Ankang's back, something seemed to be beating from time to time, just like the blood vessels under the skin. , connected to something.
As soon as Ma Tao said his words, everyone in the room looked at the black and purple patch on Ankang's back. Sure enough, every few dozen seconds, this patch of skin would bulge out, and then return to its original state, over and over again, seemingly Every time it beats and bulges, the skin will expand a little.
"This...what the hell is this?"
Xiao Jinzi took two steps back, staring at the beating skin with eyes full of disbelief.
"younger brother"
"Well-being, son!!!"
An Ruo and An Ruo's mother almost fainted from crying. They covered their mouths with their hands and did not cry out.
Su Lanxi thought for a while, then put the communication watch on her hand close to the black and purple skin and turned on the scanning function.
"Alien bugs are a terrible mutant creature that parasitizes after being captured by aliens. It will slowly grow in the human body. When it is first parasitized, alien skin will appear. When the alien skin covers the whole body, the person will completely transform into an alien. , become a terrifying monster with powerful combat power that eats human flesh and blood. To remove the alien bugs, the blood of the mature alien must be smeared. Note: The mature alien is afraid of light and can only survive in the dark. Its blood will be destroyed after being exposed to the sun for three minutes. It will rot away”
