Chapter 143 Buttons



Fang Yuyang searched for a long time and finally found a vaccine with the same name as the one on the note Qin Chengguo wrote to him. He didn't know how many injections Nian Qiao would need to be cured, so he put all the vaccines in front of him into the ice pack he had prepared beforehand.

Since Fang Nianqiao contracted polio, Qiao An'an has been very anxious. Before humans used vaccines to prevent various infectious diseases in newborns, common minor illnesses such as influenza, chickenpox, measles, rubella, and hand-foot-mouth disease could easily take the lives of young children.

She was worried that Yaya, who had only been vaccinated for less than three years, might contract an infectious disease, so she packed all the vaccines she knew into ice packs for emergencies.

The collection of supplies and their removal from the hospital went very smoothly.

They even went to the neighborhood where they used to live and loaded the wheat planted in the backyard of Qiao An'an's house into the truck.

To Qiao An'an's surprise, after a winter, lotus leaves of varying sizes grew on the water's surface again, including several lotus buds that were about to bloom. In the not-so-clear pond water, one could even see a few fish swimming around from time to time. She had clearly scooped all the crucian carp out of the pond when she left, but in just two or three months, crucian carp fry had reappeared in the pond.

Having learned from her previous experience, she was afraid that the fish fry she brought would die, so she didn't disturb the fish in the pond, thinking she would let them live or die on their own. If she had the chance, she would come back in the fall to catch fish and pick some lotus roots to take home and eat.

When it was time to set off again, Yan Ling said, "Let's say goodbye for now. We'll meet again sometime."

No one expected Yan Ling to leave so suddenly, and they all asked her if she could stay. Seeing that she was determined, they could only put all the food from the car into Yan Ling's backpack and say, "See you again sometime."

After saying goodbye to Yan Ling, Qiao An'an and the others drove smoothly to the vicinity of the prison.

Shen Zhou picked up the walkie-talkie: "We're back, get ready to open the door!"

Qin Chengguo asked worriedly, "Has the medicine been found?"

Shen Zhou: "We found it. We not only found immunoglobulin, but also obtained many other vaccines."

Upon hearing this good news, Qin Chengguo's tense mood eased; Nianqiao's child could be saved.

After turning off the walkie-talkie, Qin Chengguo immediately instructed everyone to open the door.

Soon, three more people appeared on the prison wall: Chi Xiaoyu, Ye Jing, and Qin Chengguo. They were responsible for shooting the zombies that came in with the vehicle from a high place. Normally, this job was done by Shen Zhou and Li Jianguo, but Qin Chengguo knew that they couldn't match Shen Zhou and Li Jianguo's marksmanship, so this time they replaced them with three people.

Xia Lanlan was in charge of opening the first door, while Gu Bei was in charge of the second.

The switch for the first door is next to the second iron gate, which in turn is on the prison gate side.

After making all the preparations, Chen Zhou drove the truck at full speed towards the zombies, directly to the front of the prison. Xia Lanlan pressed the switch of the first door through the iron gate.

Grandpa Gu also brought the children to the prison gate to welcome Shen Zhou and his triumphant return.

Knowing her mother was back, Ya Ya led Da Hei to the iron railing and excitedly waved at the truck that was driving in, shouting, "Mommy!!!"

Grandpa Gu, whose steps were unsteady, did not follow. He simply held Fang Nianqiao and watched from afar, saying, "Ya Ya, don't get too close to the railing."

Ya Ya nodded understandingly.

It stopped about 2 meters away from the railing.

According to the normal operating procedure, after the truck drove the entire length of the vehicle into the prison, Xia Lanlan should have closed the outermost gate. Then, the people on the wall should have killed off the few zombies that had come in with the truck. Only after confirming that all the zombies inside the first gate had been eliminated should the second gate be opened.

But Qiao An'an and her family's truck had already driven into the gate.

Xia Lanlan couldn't press the close button. She panicked a little: "It won't press... what should I do?!"

Although it was only a matter of seconds, the zombies outside had already swarmed in.

The people on the bus were practically ready to get off and help Xia Lanlan press the switch: "It must have been pressed wrong just now, try pressing it again with more force!"

Xia Lanlan wanted to press the switch again, but there were too many zombies rushing in from outside. Chi Xiaoyu, Ye Jing, and Qin Chengguo, who were standing on higher ground, couldn't kill them in time. Several zombies had already reached out their bluish-gray claws and rushed in front of her. If she pressed the switch at this time, she would likely be caught by a zombie.

Upon seeing this scene, she instinctively took several steps back.

Seeing Xia Lanlan hesitate, Qin Chengguo, who was on the wall, hurriedly said, "Quickly press the switch! If all the zombies outside rush in, the iron fence won't be able to withstand it, and we'll all die!"

When Xia Lanlan heard Qin Chengguo's voice, she wanted to go forward and press the switch, but there were so many zombies at the switch location. Even if she actually pressed the switch and closed the first door, she would still be caught by the zombies. If she didn't close the switch, the zombies might just break through the iron fence, but if she pressed the switch, she would definitely be bitten by the zombies.

There were several people in the car. Why couldn't they risk their lives to break out and rush to the switch to turn it off for the safety of the prison? Why did she have to go and die?

She was just an ordinary person.

They are not so great as to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.

Inside the car, everyone could see that Xia Lanlan didn't want to risk pressing the switch. Shen Zhou drove the car directly to the iron gate, intending to get out and press the switch, but the car was surrounded by zombies, and they couldn't even open the car door. Li Jianguo tried to open the car window to kill the zombies close to the door, but there were too many zombies, and for every one he killed, a second would pounce.

Moreover, zombies were still pouring in through the open gate, and the iron fence was about to break down under the impact of so many zombies. Seeing this, Gu Bei, who was guarding the second gate, rushed towards the iron fence, and Grandpa Gu also put Fang Nianqiao on a chair and ran towards the iron fence.

But they were too far apart.

I reckon the iron fence will be smashed open by the zombies before they even get there.

Just then, a chubby little hand pressed the button hard, and the outermost heavy iron door creaked down, shutting out the zombies. Some zombies that couldn't escape in time were cut off by the door, leaving only their upper bodies as they crawled toward the truck.

Once the outer gate was closed, things became much easier. Even though there were many zombies surrounding the truck, there were still a certain number of them. With the help of the three people on the wall and Grandpa Gu who had arrived, Qiao An'an and the others quickly shot down all the zombies inside the first gate.

After everyone had killed the zombies, they noticed that it was Ya Ya who pressed the close button.

She was too short to reach the button.

She first had Dahei lie on the ground, then stood on Dahei's back, and then, holding onto the wall, she helped Dahei slowly stand up so it could reach the button.

Seeing Ya Ya risk pressing the button, Xia Lanlan's face turned red and white, and she looked very uncomfortable.

However, she did not regret her decision because she clearly saw a row of teeth marks on Ya Ya's arm. If she had risked pressing on it, she would have been the one bitten.
