Chapter 16 Plays
"Murder! Murder!"
“It’s really a zombie!”
The man whose face was blue just now now showed signs of turning purple, with veins bulging on his forehead and his mouth trembling constantly.
"Old man, old man, what's wrong with you? Speak."
An old woman with half-white hair did not notice all this. She anxiously went forward and put her arms around the shoulders of her husband, whose face looked strange, and kept shaking his body, but the man lying there showed no sign of response.
"Dagen, Dagen, wake up! Wake up!"
The crowd watching was talking about it.
"I remember Dagen has three highs, right?"
"It's not just the three highs, there's also diabetes."
"Is he ill?"
“It doesn’t look like it!”
"Da Gen is also unlucky. Where can we find an ambulance in this situation?"
"His three children are all in the city! What if he doesn't make it through, and he leaves without any of his children?"
"Let's not talk about this for now. Where's the doctor? Where is the doctor? Has anyone called for him?"
But the old woman didn't notice the discussions around her and was pleading with the village committee members who had just arrived.
"Liansheng, please, please, can you help me contact someone and send Dagen out..."
The village chief Wang Liansheng, who was being pleaded with, looked embarrassed. "Auntie, it's not that I don't want to help. I've already asked someone to go down the mountain to make a phone call, but I can't guarantee whether they can get through..."
"Please, please..." The old woman's eyes dimmed instantly when she thought of the current situation. She kept repeating this sentence while holding the person.
Wang Liansheng looked at Wang Dagen, whose complexion was getting worse and worse, and was afraid that something really happened to him. Fortunately, the doctor was called over quickly.
"How about it?"
The village doctor examined the old man but looked confused.
"Feeling the pulse is normal, but these symptoms..." The village doctor shook his head, feeling that his skills were not good enough and was also afraid of treating the patient badly. "I can't tell. Let's send the patient to a doctor at a large hospital for a checkup!"
He was just a village doctor, he could treat headaches and fevers, but he couldn't treat serious illnesses. Rather than wasting time here and ending up with someone dying, it would be better to find a way to get the person to the hospital.
The people around started talking again.
"What happened to Dagen? Why does he look so scary even if he's not sick?"
"Could it really be a zombie, as the girl just said?"
"What zombie? That's a zombie! It bites people, and if it bites people, everyone will become like it!"
The words of the teenage boy next to them caught everyone's attention.
"Jiang Yan! What nonsense are you talking about!" The boy's parents quickly pulled him back and apologized to everyone present. "I'm sorry, this kid likes to read supernatural novels. Don't take them seriously! Don't bother with him!"
As soon as the child's father stepped forward, the people around him suddenly understood.
"It's the kid from Daqiang's family! No wonder he looks so familiar to me!"
"I heard this kid is always skipping classes to play games."
"Yeah, it seems like he must have done something wrong this time and his parents were called in. Otherwise, why would he be staying home when school is supposed to be going on? He's the only kid his age in the temple."
"Then this really needs to be taken care of. Why does this perfectly normal child seem to be acting weird?"
The discussion in the crowd was quite loud, and Jiang Yan's parents looked unhappy.
But Jiang Yan, who was being pulled by them, was very angry after hearing what they said. He said, "I'm not talking nonsense. This is a zombie! Everyone, please stay away. If someone gets bitten and the zombie virus spreads, everyone will be finished."
"Dad, Mom, there are too many people here, let's go back to the car!"
After saying that, regardless of the expressions on other people's faces, he pulled his parents and turned to leave.
Jiang Yan's parents could only smile awkwardly at everyone and prepare to go out and beat their son.
Although Jiang Yan's family left, not everyone heard what he said before.
Although there are many elderly people in the village, there are still some young people. Some middle-aged people who are not too old have come across many posts and articles about the end of the world when they use their mobile phones to surf the Internet.
They looked at the old man who was twitching in the open space in the middle of the crowd and seemed to have lost consciousness, and they involuntarily took a step back.
This does seem a bit abnormal!
What the kid just said couldn’t be true!
It’s better to stay away from it.
As everyone retreated in unison, the unconscious old man slowly opened his eyes.
The old woman who had been watching the old man noticed his movements immediately, but when she saw those empty eyes with no pupils but only whites, even the most familiar person next to her was still startled.
"ah!"
A scream made everyone more nervous.
"Old man, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with your eyes? Can you see me?"
Everyone present looked in the direction of the sound, took a deep breath and let out a "hiss" sound.
Someone said in a trembling voice, "This is indeed a zombie, right?"
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
"This really doesn't look normal!"
"What should we do? It's not the end of the world, is it?"
"They say that after a major disaster there will always be a major epidemic. Could it be some new infectious disease?"
"Should we tie him up first?"
"Yeah, yeah, what if Uncle Dagen suddenly goes crazy like in the movies? Village chief, let's tie him up first!"
"Tie him up, tie him up! Who'll get a rope?"
"Make way, make way, I don't want to watch anymore, I'm going out."
As soon as these words were spoken, more and more people squeezed out.
The hall suddenly became noisy, and waves of sound rushed towards the empty space in the center.
Wang Liansheng scratched his hair, looking at the unconscious old man and the tearful old woman in front of him. Although he couldn't bear it, he still said, "Auntie, this is what everyone wants. You see..."
Before he could finish his words, another scream came from a side hall not far away.
Everyone gathered in the hall was shocked, "What happened?"
But before they could go out, they heard shouts coming closer and closer from outside.
"Murder! Murder!"
Murder? ! !
In an instant, all the people in the temple who heard the sound gathered in the side hall.
Wang Liansheng's head was buzzing, and he had to put aside what was happening and hurried to the side hall.
It's a mess outside.
"What murder?"
"Who killed someone?"
"Who did you kill?"
Questions popped up one after another around me, but no one answered.
When a group of people rushed into the side hall, they saw one person pushing another person to the ground.
The middle-aged woman who was pushed fell to the ground, but bounced up instantly, holding on to the young man who had just pushed her with both hands.
"You murderer! Why did you kill him? On what right did you kill him?"
The young man who was caught was also struggling.
"He's no longer a human being. Why can't I kill him? Do I have to watch him pounce on my daughter?"
The young man broke free from his restraints, but the middle-aged woman quickly pounced on him again.
"Why did you kill him?" Seeing everyone coming, she shouted again, "Everyone come and help, he is a murderer!"
The young man struggled as he explained.
"He's already become like that. If I don't kill him, he'll bite people, you know?"
Everyone around was shocked.
In fact, most of them didn't know what was happening. When the first scream was heard, many people went to the main hall to watch the excitement, and there were not many people left in the side halls.
"Bite?"
Everyone was shocked and confused.
"Is it really a zombie?"
"You say he's going to bite people, so he's going to bite people? Did he bite you?" The woman still refused to give in.
"If I hadn't been watching closely, my daughter would have been bitten. If I hadn't done anything and my daughter had been bitten, would you be responsible?"
"Look at him, does he still look like a normal person?"
The young man seemed very angry. He pushed the woman away again, reached out and picked up his daughter from his wife's arms and walked out.
"If I really did something wrong, then there will naturally be laws to punish me."
Looking at the people who seemed to be blocking his way at the door, he added, "Don't worry, I won't run away. I dare to take responsibility for what I did. When the water recedes, I will naturally turn myself in. We will do whatever needs to be done then."
After the young man finished speaking, his aura forced the people blocking the road to make way.
His figure disappeared at the door, leaving only the woman sitting on the ground with tears on her face.
It was also at this time when the farce ended that everyone whose attention was attracted by the fight discovered that in the corner of the side hall, there was a person lying with a pool of unknown liquid behind his head, and his life or death was unknown.
The back of the man's head was noticeably flattened, his face had turned purple, his exposed limbs were covered in bulging veins, and the sockets of his eyes were grayish white...
“This, this is…”
"Isn't this the same as what Uncle Dagen did just now?"
"Can it really bite people?"
broken!
Wang Liansheng's head buzzed, and he turned around and ran out. The people around him who realized something followed him.
When the group of people returned to the hall, they saw Da Gen still lying on the ground and they breathed a sigh of relief.
The old woman was still standing guard by the side.
"Liansheng, have you contacted the doctor?"
Wang Liansheng shook his head. "The person who went out to make the phone call hasn't come back yet."
He spoke with difficulty, "Aunt, I'm sorry, we have to tie up Uncle Dagen first."
"Why?" the old woman was puzzled. "He is unconscious now and can't move at all."
Why tie it up?
Wang Liansheng didn't explain. He waited for the people behind him to find a rope and tie the man up together before saying, "Auntie, keep an eye on Uncle Dagen, but keep your distance. If anything goes wrong, call for help immediately, okay?"
The old woman looked confused, "What's going on?"
Wang Liansheng sighed helplessly and said without explanation, "Don't ask any more questions. Just do it. Remember to keep your distance."
But he was still worried, so he assigned a village cadre to stand guard nearby.
The village cadres from other villages had already heard about the situation and were waiting outside the door.
The two screams woke everyone up. Except for some carefree children who were still dozing off, no one else could fall asleep.
In the largest square of the temple, circles of people gathered.
"What's going on?"
"They say there are zombies, and they bite people."
"Are you kidding?"
"Where? Didn't you say someone was killed?"
"Really? Who is it?"
…
The village heads who were surrounded and knew all the inside story did not have the slightest desire to gossip at this moment.
The person who had just gone down the mountain to make a phone call had returned, but the line was still not connected. Both the emergency line and the rescue line were busy. In the current situation, they had no choice but to make their own decisions.
