258 The Tenth Store
◎Hidden Master.◎
Yin Gu's team jogged all the way and turned the corner to see Zhang Aijun and his family running at full speed.
The old lady sprained her ankle and limped behind.
Zhang Aijun carried his father on his back, his forehead full of sweat. He ran a few steps and found that his mother did not catch up. He looked back and saw that the three zombies chasing them suddenly accelerated, and their target was the slow-moving mother.
Zhang Aijun was anxious, took a deep breath and ran back: "Mom, hold my clothes, run faster."
The old lady panted, endured the pain and ran forward in small steps, shaking her head: "Aijun, carry your father and run faster, don't worry about me."
The mutant zombies had already caught up with him. Zhang Aijun fixed one hand on his back, pulled up his mother's wrist, and almost dragged her forward.
Yin Gu and his companions were holding weapons such as mop handles, steel bars, and fruit knives in their hands. Seeing that there were three mutant zombies following Zhang Aijun at an incredibly fast speed, everyone's faces changed and their steps gradually slowed down.
They were still at least fifty meters away from Zhang Aijun and his men, but the distance between the three zombies and Zhang Aijun's family was shrinking rapidly, ten meters, five meters, four meters, three meters, ... The zombie running in the front had particularly long arms, and it kept stretching its hands forward, with its skin peeling off and its fingertips exposing bones almost touching the back of the old lady's neck.
Yin Gu's team stopped, they couldn't catch up, and there were three mutated zombies, and they would all die if they passed by.
Zhang Aijun saw them, and his joy had not yet faded from his face. Seeing the slow movements of the crowd, he seemed to have seen the foreshadowing of death.
His legs were sore, his steps were heavy, his heart was pounding, he was panting, his head was aching, and his ears were buzzing so loudly that he couldn't hear the sounds around him.
The zombies were right behind him, and they would hurt his mother first, then grab his disabled father, and finally him.
The three of them would become minced meat in the mouths of the zombies.
Zhang Aijun tried to adjust his breathing, and with a strong force of his wrist, he pulled his mother forward and pushed her out. At the same time, he turned around and put his father down, yelling and running forward with his hands open, trying to stop the zombies that were chasing him.
"Mom, take my dad and run!!!"
The little old lady stumbled forward after being dragged by her son. She had already twisted her foot, and she fell to the ground and couldn't get up at all.
The old man was like her, kneeling on the ground, his hands supporting the ground, his arms trembling, trying hard to get up, but he had no strength.
Three zombies had already rushed over, and the leading one grabbed Zhang Aijun and bit his shoulder.
Zhang Aijun took the opportunity to hug it tightly, pushing back like a human cannon.
The smell of blood attracted the other two zombies, they stopped, slowly turned their heads, their bones creaked, and their dull and purulent eyes stared at the screaming Zhang Aijun.
Yin Gu made a quick gesture and said in a low voice, "Try to save the old man."
As soon as he finished speaking, a weak, sharp sound rang in his ears, and a silver light flashed in the corner of his eyes, and something flew over.
Yin Gu raised his eyes and looked over. It was actually a sword!
The silver-white sword blade was like a line of lightning. In an instant, it had flown fifty meters away. The sword energy spread out, and the heads of the three zombies holding Zhang Aijun and eating them alive fell to the ground, with only the remaining hands and feet still tightly restraining Zhang Aijun.
The black electric car flew past Yin Gu and others. The young man in white clothes sitting in the back seat of the car had his long hair tied up high and raised his hand to catch the long sword that flew back.
The shop owner rode an electric bike straight towards Zhang Aijun.
Xie Zili swung his long sword, and the sword energy carried the force of thousands of horses and thousands of troops, cutting across, the air was hissing, and the dry bones and zombies that clung to Zhang Wanjun were crushed by the sword energy, making a crackling sound, until they were crushed into powder and dissipated in the wind.
The electric bike stopped in front of Zhang Aijun, and Lu Yao got off the car to support the man who fell forward.
Zhang Aijun's shoulders, arms and face were bitten, and the arms and shoulders were covered with blood even though they were covered by clothes. A piece of flesh was torn off his face, and blood flowed down, all over his body.
Runners arrived one after another, skillfully took out parts from the cloth bags, and began to build a temporary sterile room in an orderly manner.
Jiang Yifei and Zhou Mingyang helped Zhang Aijun's parents sit down nearby, and the errand runners who had nothing to do cleared away all the zombies that surrounded them.
The sterile room was built in a few minutes. Lu Yao moved Zhang Aijun in and turned to look at his parents: "Please wait a moment, I will treat his wounds first."
Zhang Aijun's parents were still in shock. They saw their son was bitten, but they were too old and weak to do anything.
They looked at Lu Yao with shock, helplessness, and confusion in their eyes, as if they didn't understand what she meant by "treating the wounds."
In their cognition, the bitten person will soon become a zombie, and there is no medical treatment that can cure it.
Yin Gu and others came over one after another. Lu Yao had already put on protective clothing and turned to walk into the sterile room.
Yin Gu grabbed Xia Huaisong, looking nervous: "Who are you? What are you going to do?"
Someone in the crowd was anxiously arguing -
"Zhang Aijun was bitten. If he is not treated quickly, he will become a zombie!"
"What do you mean by hiding people in the tent?"
"What happened to the sword just now?"
...
Xia Huaisong raised his arms and waved them up and down, trying to comfort the crowd.
The crowd was in panic and the noise was loud. No one listened to what he said.
Guanzhong, who was cleaning up zombies nearby, came back and was annoyed by the noisy crowd. He punched a wall beside the street. There was a rustling sound, and the three or four meter high wall was cracked into a spider web with his fist as the center.
The people of Yin Gu's team and Zhang Aijun's parents widened their eyes: "..."
Guanzhong looked coldly at the people who had calmed down: "The owner introduced himself as soon as he met us. We came from Gaosheng City and do errand business. We want to open a branch here. He kept asking questions and asking questions. Don't you understand human language?"
Guanzhong couldn't understand human beings. Just now at the intersection over there, they spoke so toughly. He thought these people had some skills. As a result, when they rushed over, they saw that they were just a group of people far away. They didn't dare to step forward and let their companions who needed rescue be bitten into a bloody mess.
Monsters don't have the same complex emotions as humans. It's common for the same kind to fight each other. He just particularly hates people who are weak and unaware of themselves.
Yin Gu and his party were really shocked.
Xia Huaisong touched his forehead. Sometimes fists are more effective than politeness. He took the opportunity to explain the business of the errand shop and the owner's treatment of the bitten customer while the crowd was quiet.
Everyone looked at each other, and Yin Gu was also confused: "Can the bitten people be saved?"
Xia Huaisong patted his chest lightly, with a hint of pride: "Others don't know, but our shop owner does have this ability."
In order to increase credibility, Xia Huaisong also cited examples: "We came from Gaosheng City, passing through Jinyao City, and met a research team guarded by the military. At that time, the researchers and a guard were bitten, and it was our shop owner who treated them and curbed the spread of the virus, preventing them from becoming zombies."
Yin Gu glanced sideways: "Did you meet military personnel?"
Xia Huaisong nodded, and by the way revealed the tragic situation of the Hope Base.
Yin Gu lowered his head: "We feel that the zombies are gathering, but there is nothing we can do. Their numbers are increasing, and there are more and more special individuals. People are as fragile as cabbages in front of them. The most terrifying thing is that once injured, the infection rate is 100%, and there is no treatment. If there are already means to contain the zombie virus, why doesn't anyone..."
Xie Zili interrupted him: "In our store, only the owner can treat the infected people, and there is no way to promote it on a large scale. But the research team we met seems to be studying some virus inhibitors."
Yin Gu was stunned: "Really?"
This is really unexpected good news!
Zhou Mingyang came over and said, "Before an effective blocking agent is developed, our store can probably help you solve some problems."
Zhou Mingyang pulled Yin Gu to the side, and said in a neither-too-loud nor-soft voice, "You just saw the strength of the errand runners and the store owner. To be honest, our errand runners are all hidden masters who can't bear to see people suffer from the zombie virus, so they come out to help."
Zhou Mingyang spoke beautiful words one after another, and Xie Zili and Guanzhong tried to cover their faces for fear of revealing their true intentions.
Their original intention of coming to work in the store was not so noble, but being able to help customers troubled by the virus was also a fulfillment of cause and effect.
Yin Gu did not answer immediately. This group of people appeared very suddenly, with unfathomable strength. They used swords and combed their hair in a bun, which really gave them the demeanor of a hermit.
If they really had the means to treat zombie bites and curb the spread of the virus, Yin Gu and the Clover Community would have no way to refuse them.
In fact, their ideas had changed at this time.
These people wanted to open a store in the community, and they were willing to accept it.
The waiting time was very difficult, but everyone gathered outside the temporary sterile room and did not leave.
During this period, they encountered three zombie attacks, and the last time there were five mutant zombies.
As the runners easily dealt with the small zombies again and again, the mutant zombies were also easily killed and cleaned up, and the eyes of the people in Yin Gu's team gradually changed from the initial contempt and suspicion to deep awe.
Half an hour later, the curtain of the sterile room was opened from the inside, and Lu Yao took off his protective clothing, mask and gloves, strode to the side of the road to take a breath before turning back and saying: "He is fine for the time being, but the wounds are more serious and he needs to rest for a while. We will collect the props later, and you can take the injured back."
Zhang Aijun was lying on a simple stretcher, and the wounds on his face, neck, and shoulders had been bandaged.
The man was just in a coma, his eyes were tightly closed, and the half of his face that was exposed was slightly blue.
People from the Clover Community didn't dare to approach rashly.
"Is he really okay? He won't suddenly turn into a zombie?"
Everyone has encountered a few zombies that had no symptoms when bitten, but suddenly went crazy half a day later and bit everyone they could find. Many people died each time.
Lu Yao: "He was bitten on the face, which is too close to the brain. We really need to pay more attention."
As soon as these words came out, the people around him instantly stepped back three steps.
Lu Yao added: "So I was very careful when treating the wound, and I cleaned it five times repeatedly. I have seen people with more serious wounds than him, and they recovered. Zhang Aijun should be fine too."
Zhang Aijun's mother dragged her sprained foot and moved step by step to Zhang Aijun's side. She looked at her son carefully for a long time, then turned around and bowed to Lu Yao to thank him. Her husband
had bad legs and feet, and he was frightened just now. He sat on a stone by the roadside and could only look at this side anxiously, unable to get up.
Lu Yao took out a small glass bottle from the cloth bag and handed it to the old lady: "This is the unique local honey in my store. Let him drink it when he wakes up. It will help heal the wound."
