In this world, everyone has the right to live, but not everyone can actually survive.
...
I rushed out of the warehouse and into the air-raid shelter.
The scream drew everyone's attention to the air-raid shelter, and they all looked towards the entrance.
I squeezed through the crowd, with Wu Shuang following behind me. It took a lot of effort to reach the entrance of the air-raid shelter. As soon as I stepped out, I saw Xiao Li lying on the ground, struggling incessantly.
Around Xiao Li were Fei Lichao and other soldiers, who were holding down Xiao Li's limbs to prevent him from moving around.
When Fei Lichao saw me coming, he shouted, "Dr. Lu, you damn well better come and help!"
I looked at Xiao Li, and he was already starting to arch his back, which meant the virus had entered his brain and there was no hope for him!
It's already beyond saving, how can I help?
"What the hell are you standing there for? Help me out!" Fei Lichao glared and roared.
I stood there and shook my head, saying, "It's no use. Let go. No matter what, he's already started to change, just like Liangzi. He's beyond saving."
"Bullshit! Li Zi will be fine!" The soldier who was holding down Li Zi's feet heard my words, stood up and kicked me, his expression angry and his eyes filled with tears.
I was kicked to the ground by this soldier, and my stomach hurts a lot.
"Hey, what are you doing! Are you sick in the head?!" Wu Shuang came over to help me up and yelled at the soldier.
I clutched my stomach, sat on the ground, stared into Fei Lichao's eyes, and said, "Captain Fei, it's no use. No one can help him now."
"You bastard, if you dare say that nonsense again, believe me, I'll shoot you dead!" The soldier who kicked me earlier pulled out a pistol from his waist and pressed it against my head.
My heart tightened, and I didn't dare to look up at the soldier, fearing that he might actually shoot me.
Fei Lichao stared at me with pained eyes, his hands gripping Xiao Li's right arm tightly.
"Ah!" Xiao Li let out another heart-wrenching scream, and then he fell silent, completely calm.
Upon seeing this, Fei Lichao's expression of pain deepened.
He released Xiao Li's right arm, stared at Xiao Li's dead face, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and pointed it at Xiao Li's head.
"Awooo!" A moment later, Xiao Li let out a roar, and his head began to turn again.
Fei Lichao's hand holding the gun was trembling. He was making a choice, hesitating, and in pain. The guy in front of him was his own subordinate, just like Liangzi!
It's really hard to make a move!
Li, who had transformed into a monster, began to move again, raising his hands and grabbing Fei Lichao's arm.
Bang!
At that very moment, Fei Lichao fired his gun.
The bullet pierced Xiao Li's head.
Xiao Li died instantly, and his hands fell limply back to their original positions.
This time, he was completely dead.
"Captain, what are you doing! Why, why?!" The soldier who kicked me earlier shouted angrily when he saw this.
Fei Lichao stood up from the ground, looked at him painfully, and said, "Chen Lei, Xiao Li is dead, you fucking need to understand that!"
Shen Lei, that is, the soldier who kicked me.
He stared at Fei Lichao, his expression constantly shifting, until finally, enraged, he pointed his gun directly at Fei Lichao and roared, "Little Li isn't dead! It was you, you shot him dead!"
Facing the pistol in Shen Lei's hand, Fei Lichao showed no fear whatsoever. He strode forward, stood opposite Shen Lei, and roared, "If you think I shot Xiao Li to death, then you fucking shoot me dead!"
Tears streamed down Shen Lei's face as he stared at Xiao Li's corpse on the ground, unable to accept it.
"Shoot!" Fei Lichao roared.
I stared at the two of them, my heart pounding in my chest, terrified that Shen Lei would actually pull the trigger.
No one dared to make a sound, only the roars of the monsters outside continued.
Faced with Fei Lichao's gaze, Shen Lei finally put down his pistol, sat down on the ground, covered his face, and cried.
The dead cannot be brought back to life; we can only grieve in moderation.
Fei Lichao took the gun from his hand, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know your relationship with Xiao Li is unusual, but Xiao Li is already... dead, so cheer up."
Shen Lei came to Xiao Li's body and cried incessantly.
Fei Lichao came over, pulled me up from the ground, and asked, "Are you alright?"
I clutched my stomach and shook my head, saying, "It's nothing, just a little sore, it'll be fine in a bit."
Fei Lichao nodded, "Since everything is alright, let's go inside first. I'll handle things here."
"Okay." Wu Shuang and I turned to go inside, but then I remembered something and turned back to ask, "By the way, what about the mother and child?"
Fei Lichao said, "Don't worry, I've arranged for people to keep an eye on things, nothing will happen."
I nodded and went into the air-raid shelter. Many people in the shelter followed me in. Although they were curious about the deaths outside, they had seen dead people almost every day these days, so it wasn't strange anymore.
Before long, everyone returned to the air-raid shelter and stayed in their original places, feeling utterly bored.
Wu Shuang and I returned to the warehouse, both of us feeling terrible. Although we had known for a long time that Xiao Li would die, we still couldn't accept it for a while.
...
Around 8 p.m., the entire air-raid shelter was dark. Although the generator was still running, Fei Lichao would usually turn it off around 8 p.m. to save fuel.
The warehouse was pitch black. Pu Weichao came in with a flashlight and called out to me.
"Dr. Lu."
