Chapter 62
Everyone couldn't help but stand up, rush to the door, and try to distinguish the sound that belonged to the car.
They were now staying in the backyard of the Li family mansion. There were four entrances in the front, side rooms on the left and right, and a back hall at the back. Once the heavy wooden doors were closed, there were high walls on all sides.
They used to live in the second courtyard, but after living there for a long time, there were too many zombies piled up outside the wall, so some of them crawled into the yard.
They did not have enough weapons and manpower to go outside to clean up, so they could only retreat back to the courtyard with the highest wall.
The square courtyard has a brick-paved floor, blue-grey walls and an old, heavy wooden door, forming a temporarily safe cage.
The people inside hear the roars of the zombies lingering outside the courtyard the most every day. They become numb from hearing it day and night.
After being reminded, everyone's numb nerves were stirred, and they gradually heard the sound of cars, the sound of cars coming from far away and getting closer, it was not their illusion!
"Someone is coming!" a soldier said excitedly.
"We are saved. Someone is here to save us." The young researcher cried with joy.
Entering an ancient city full of zombies and without supplies at this time is most likely aimed at them.
No matter who comes, it is always a hope.
Everyone seemed to be injected with a shot of cardiac stimulant, and two warriors brought a ladder and climbed to the top of the wall.
The person who climbed to the top of the wall first and then stepped onto the eaves quickly showed a look of surprise, turned his head and said, "There really is a car! I saw the headlights!"
At this time, he didn't care about staying quiet and not disturbing the zombies around him. The warrior standing on the roof saw the car lights flickering in the alley, and then disappeared. He hurriedly took off his clothes and waved to remind them: "Here! We are here!"
Xue Ling was really a little lost; the roads in the ancient city were too winding.
The ancient town is a real ancient building, not one of those internet-famous ancient town imitation ancient buildings. The streets and houses here all look almost the same. There are no shops on the streets, and there are not even any landmarks to help you find your way.
She saw the figure standing on the roof waving clothes, but the medical vehicle was too big to drive close to the person, so she had to temporarily park the car on the street outside the gate.
Xue Ling got off the car. A group of zombies came over excitedly and then dispersed in disinterest.
She ignored these fellow dementia patients and went to knock on the door with her bag on her back. The door was bolted from the inside and only the roar of zombies could be heard from behind the door.
It seems that this yard has been occupied by zombies and you can't enter through the main gate.
Xue Ling turned into the alley again with his backpack on his back.
The warrior standing on the roof was called Li Shixi. When he saw the car parked at the gate, he was so anxious that he wanted to jump down and tell the people who came that he couldn't get into the front yard now because it was full of zombies and it was too dangerous!
But then he saw a man getting out of a car and walking towards the alley.
In the dark, Li Shixi couldn't see clearly whether the person was a man or a woman. He only saw that the person was holding a flashlight and walking in the alley where zombies gathered.
A thought suddenly popped up in Li Shixi's mind: "Why did a person come here?" Then he realized that this person actually walked into the pile of zombies!
None of the zombies around him attacked him. Occasionally, there was a zombie blocking the way in front of him, and the man simply reached out and pushed the zombie aside. The pushed zombie did not react.
He just... came here?!
Li Shixi was stunned as he watched this scene. He felt like he was dreaming. He was already hallucinating due to hunger.
Xue Ling came to the wall, looked up, and waved at the stunned person above.
Li Shixi came back to his senses and asked repeatedly: "You! What happened to you! Why didn't the zombie bite you?! No, I mean, you just came here like this, you...!"
He was so shocked that he was incoherent.
The people in the yard who were still waiting for news had not seen what had just happened and kept asking what had happened.
Xue Ling took out a folding ladder, leaned it against the wall, and climbed up.
Li Shixi also hurried over to pull her, but Xue Ling did not touch him. She just stretched out a tablet to him and motioned him to look at it.
Li Shixi didn't quite understand. He took the tablet and saw a video on it. The cover showed his teammate's face.
He was one of the teammates who went out to ask for help a long time ago!
He first returned to the yard and watched the video with others.
His teammates said they found the Beizheng base and he was the only one left, but he brought rescuers.
Now the large rescue force is temporarily unable to enter the city, so a special warrior is sent to contact them, give them some emergency supplies, and update each other on the situation.
Special emphasis is placed on this special warrior being a zombie with sanity.
Everyone saw this: "?"
Being sane, zombie?
Li Shixi suddenly realized: "No wonder, I just saw him walking through the zombies, and no zombies attacked him! I was wondering why, it turns out he is a zombie!"
The teammate in the video said: "Xue Ling is friendly and a very important fighter. She must not be harmed."
After watching the video, everyone looked at the wall again, where Xue Ling was lying on the wall waiting.
"Are you really a zombie?" someone asked.
Xue Ling took off the mask she was wearing so as not to scare others, revealing a pale face.
It turns out it’s not “he” but “she”.
Then she put on her mask again, put her backpack on the wall, and motioned for someone to take it.
The two warriors did not hesitate and went forward to take it at the same time.
Xue Ling tapped her tablet and read aloud the questions she had prepared.
"How is Mr. Ji Shiping doing?"
A thin, middle-aged woman with short hair walked quickly to the wall and said, "The teacher is not in good condition. He needs treatment. We have run out of medicine..."
Xue Ling saw that she was in a hurry and comforted her: "There are a lot of equipment in the medical vehicle. It can't be driven in for the time being, but I took some first aid medicines in my bag to see if they can be used. If there is anything else you need, I will go to the medical vehicle to see if there is anything else."
Lin Shuyang hurriedly rummaged through her backpack, took out the first aid kit, opened it and took inventory.
She flipped through them one by one, not caring about anything around her, and rushed back into the house with her things to give the teacher medicine.
Soon she came out again and quickly told Xue Ling what she needed.
"Okay, I'll get it right away." Xue Ling climbed down the wall again and put away the ladder to prevent other zombies from climbing in.
She moved the bag back and forth three times, not only getting the medicine she needed, but also a lot of food.
Because she found that everyone in the yard was very hungry, and everyone had sunken cheeks and chapped lips.
After getting the package filled with food and water again, Li Shixi looked at Xue Ling and asked, "Do you want to come in too?"
Xue Ling shook her head, and Li Shixi heard her comrades in the yard cheering: "There are so many delicious foods!"
He looked down, his eyes lit up, and without paying attention to anything else, he squeezed into the crowd and couldn't wait to eat together.
Canned meat, canned fruit, dried meat, biscuits, self-heating rice, bread, and instant noodles that I haven’t eaten for a long time. They all smell so good that they make my stomach hurt.
Glucose, functional drinks, dairy products, candy, and even vitamin supplements.
For a while, the only people seen in the yard were those who were busy eating. Aunt Lin, who had given Mr. Ji an IV, came out with red eyes and joined the team eating, eating with great concentration.
The feeling of fullness in the stomach is so blissful that it makes one want to cry.
When everyone was finally full, someone finally remembered: "Where is the person who just delivered the food to us?"
Xue Ling was cleaning the front yard of the Li family mansion.
Mr. Ji Shiping's condition is very serious and he needs to be sent to a medical vehicle for treatment as soon as possible, but it is impossible to carry him out, so just leave him at the door.
There are many roads outside, and as soon as people come out, the zombies will come all at once following the smell.
So it is better to drive the car into a spacious yard and close the door so that it can last longer.
In this case, the zombies in the yard must be cleared away first.
Xue Ling had participated in several missions and was now very familiar with these tasks.
She first crawled into the front yard and dealt with the zombies in the yard.
When Xue Ling shot the zombie, every shot hit the target - because she just walked up to the zombie and shot it at the head, so there was no possibility of missing the target.
This is where the race has an advantage. Even a novice can hit the target every time and be praised as a sharpshooter by teammates.
If Xue Ling hadn't still had some sense, she would have almost fainted.
Hearing the gunshots ahead, several soldiers who had eaten and drunk enough stood up.
"Is she cleaning up the zombies in front? Let's go help her."
"Leave two people here to guard, and everyone else go."
"She just gave me some guns and bullets. Let's share them."
Well-fed and armed, the battle-hardened warriors regained their strength and vigor.
When Xue Ling saw them coming to help, she stretched out her hand to say hello, but considerately kept a distance from them and did not get too close.
This group of people have been in a dangerous and high-pressure environment for a long time, and their mental state is not very good. She should not stimulate them for the time being.
Several people worked together to deal with the zombies in the Li family mansion before dawn, and then took down door panels and wooden boards everywhere and placed them on the steps to allow Xue Ling to drive the medical vehicle in through the gate.
In order to drive the car into the yard, they even dismantled the screen wall.
After a lot of hard work, I finally succeeded.
Mr. Ji was in such a bad condition that no one dared to move him. It took several soldiers to carefully carry him over on a bed board over such a short distance.
Lin Shuyang knew some medical first aid knowledge and was guarding the unconscious Mr. Ji in the medical vehicle.
Xue Ling took the tablet back from them and prepared to go outside the city to report the situation to the main force and see what the next plan would be.
Seeing that she had been busy for so long without a break and was about to walk back, a soldier hurriedly said, "We have a car parked on the main road ahead, turn left. You can drive away, but we don't have much gas."
Xue Ling made an OK gesture, and when she went to drive the car, a row of heads popped up on the wall and watched her go.
They watched her push aside the zombies blocking the road with unanimous expressions of surprise, and then watched her drive past and were surprised again.
"It's so convenient... I want to..."
Xue Ling heard it. She had heard such words many times.
Every time someone sees her easily accomplishing things and tasks that others cannot do, they can't help but feel jealous and yearning.
They either think it is convenient to do the task this way, or they think it is safer as they are no longer afraid of zombies.
Xue Ling could understand it very well, because people are like this. When they look at others, they can only see that they are living a "good" life, but cannot see the hard work behind it.
In fact, everything has its pros and cons; it is impossible for everything to be entirely beneficial.
Xue Ling completed his mission perfectly by bringing the news from inside the city to the team outside the city. It was now up to others to take over.
Should we arrange for people to clean up the zombies in the ancient city and rescue the people, or should we stay here for a while? Xue Ling was not needed for the time being, so she was arranged to rest.
Xue Ling found an open seat at the rear of the car and sat down, facing the slowly rising sun.
He stretched out his hand and compared it with his wrist, which was thinner than his own.
It seems to have been worn out a bit lately.
The ancient city wall in the distance is bathed in golden sunlight, like a dream from hundreds of years ago.
The early morning sunshine was very comfortable. Xue Ling placed her hands on her abdomen and slowly closed her eyes, feeling the satisfaction and tranquility in her heart at that moment.
