Inside the West City Prison, the lights were on, and people were singing and dancing.
On the distant highway, several cars sped by, ramming through a few wandering zombies, turning on their headlights and waving them around, signaling for the doors to open.
"Brother Liu is back! Open the door quickly!" Cheng Wang, the gatekeeper, shouted.
A few moments later, several cars filed in, and the people at the entrance cleared away the zombies that followed them in.
Cheng Wang hurried to greet him. "Brother Liu, you're back." The flattery was swallowed back the moment he saw Liu Er.
Liu Er was covered in blood and looked extremely disheveled. The others who came out next were also injured, and even the few who were unharmed were covered in dust and dirt.
Liu Er always returned laden with spoils; this was the first time he'd come back looking so disheveled.
Liu Er, his face full of anger, ignored the people behind him and walked in on his own. He saw a bald man drinking in the hall, with a beautiful woman in each hand, and another beautiful woman standing behind him holding a wine pot, ready to pour more wine at any time.
In front of him were seasonal fruits, fresh braised meat, and spicy rabbit heads.
Several beautiful women dressed in light and elegant clothes danced gracefully and captivatingly. Although it was February and you still needed a down jacket outside, the room was warm and cozy.
Liu Er walked up to the bald man, took the wine glass, filled it with wine, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Go." The bald man waved his hand, dismissing the people around him. "Brother, have we run into a tough one this time?"
"Brother, we've really run into a bunch of bastards. I've never seen a group like this before, and the one in charge is a woman. They're like mad dogs, reckless, unruly, and they shoot anyone they see. And they're good marksmen. When I find her, I'll chop her into eight pieces." After saying that, he picked up a rabbit head with his bloodied hands and started gnawing on it.
Boss Liu's eyes showed some disgust, but his tone was gentle: "Can you trace the address?"
"Damn it, they're running like madmen, but we can't catch them no matter what." After saying this, Liu Er took another vicious bite of the rabbit head and said, "Big brother, don't worry, as long as they come out again, I will definitely find their lair and wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"You've worked hard. Go wash up after you eat. We'll be collecting the offerings tomorrow." Old Liu wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but seeing his dirty clothes, he ultimately withdrew his hand.
"Brother, those villages are dirt poor, what can they possibly deliver this season?"
"What we worry about is what they do and what they can deliver. We only need to worry about whether they can deliver their tribute on time."
"What my elder brother says is true."
After Boss Liu left, Liu Er sat on the soft sofa where Boss Liu had been sitting and began to eat heartily.
As for his injured brothers, they went to the infirmary on their own to get bandaged up.
Dr. Hu, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, couldn't help but shudder when he saw so many injured people arriving.
These people are not to be trifled with. If you're slow, if you hurt them, or if it takes a long time to see results, they'll either scold you or beat you. Think about it, he's just a doctor in a clinic; how could he possibly treat everything?
There are still some people who are isolated in the most remote places waiting to die. Many of them have already turned into zombies. He is treating them, and he was able to see the infection as early as possible, which has already saved a large number of lives.
These people will be beaten to death sooner or later. Of course, the doctor dared not reveal any of these thoughts; he simply prepared anesthetic, gauze, iodine, and other instruments for treating external injuries, and changed their dressings with a fawning expression.
However, under pressure from these people, Dr. Hu felt that his medical skills had improved by leaps and bounds.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Maple Forest Villa District, Dr. Shen finally emerged from the operating room. He looked somewhat exhausted, his hair damp with sweat.
"His life is saved, but he'll need to recover well." He brought the good news.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Shen." Ye Yunyi woke up when Dr. Shen came out, and she was extremely relieved to hear that Gangzi was alright.
"Go and rest, Lao Xu, I'll leave the rest to you," Dr. Shen instructed. He walked up to Ye Yunyi, looked at her face, and said, "What are you trying to prove? Without you, the earth wouldn't turn. Go back and rest."
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away," Ye Yunyi replied meekly.
"Dr. Shen is truly a miracle doctor." Ye Yunyi couldn't help but praise him before leaving.
Dr. Shen smiled smugly, turned and walked into his office; the medical records needed to be filled in.
As Ye Yunyi walked out of the hospital, she saw Liu Bin waiting at the entrance. When he saw her come out, he ran over and asked, "Sister Yiyi, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Why didn't you come in? What are you waiting here for?" Ye Yunyi asked.
"I'm getting some food for Sister Yiyi." As he spoke, Liu Bin took out a food box from behind his back, which contained chicken soup with red dates. "My mom made it; she said it helps the injury heal faster."
"Thank you, and please thank Auntie for me too." Ye Yunyi took the chicken soup, smelled it, and said, "It smells so good."
"Sister Yiyi, thank you for saving me," Liu Bin said sincerely.
"Silly, we are comrades-in-arms, brothers, and family. It is only right for us to protect each other." Ye Yunyi smiled. "I am very happy that you were not injured. If you hadn't found a shortcut and driven so fast, we might all be finished."
"Yes, it's what I should do. Sister Yiyi, go home and rest. I'm leaving now. I'll work hard. Goodbye, Sister Yiyi. Goodbye, Brother Zhao. Goodbye, Brother Zixiang."
When the three returned home, their parents gathered around them. At home, Ye Yunyi finally didn't have to force herself to stay strong. She used her remaining strength to drink some chicken soup and then went to rest. Tomorrow, they still had to deal with A-Qiang's funeral.
Zhao Yong and Wang Zixiang went to the study.
“We need to become stronger,” Zhao Yong and Wang Zixiang said in unison.
"Brother, what's your opinion?"
"First, recruit talent; second, strengthen protection; third, provide comprehensive individual training; and fourth, train a patrol force," Wang Zixiang said.
“That’s right. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. We also need to speed up the matter of our second base. In addition, it would be best to open up another hiding place,” Zhao Yong added.
“Yes, you encountered a formidable enemy this time and dealt them a heavy blow. They will definitely seek revenge. Once they find this place, we need to be able to defend or retreat as needed,” Wang Zixiang said.
"Ten people were injured and one was killed in this incident. Only 39 members of the guard and personal guard can be deployed. We have sufficient weapons, but medical supplies are still in short supply," Zhao Yong said. "Whether we can go out in the near future remains to be seen. The main thing is to find out where that group's stronghold and activity range are."
"Yes, Yiyi is too tired. We'll take on more of the remaining tasks. We'll find a way. Let's sort things out first, and then let Yiyi review them when she wakes up."
"Uh-huh."
Wang Zixiang and Zhao Yong sat side by side in front of the computer, sorting through the information bit by bit.
Ye Yunyi's injury left the two adults and the child listless. Zombies were the enemy, but so were people. They had encountered Li Biao and Song Ming before, and both had been defeated by them, yet now so many people were injured. Wang Xuanxuan knew that group must be very powerful.
She wanted to be strong too. Wang Xuanxuan picked up her bow and arrow again and started practicing archery with her younger brother and sister. She wanted to protect her mother and her family.
