Chapter 119 Departure to the Safe Zone
Chapter 119 Departure to the Safe Zone
The dagger cut a hole in the sleeve, Ah Ming pulled the cuff and tore off the half of the blood-stained black sleeve, threw it into the trash can beside him, and stretched out his hand to Dr. Xu: "Alcohol."
Dr. Xu bent his knees and squatted, opened the medicine box, and took out a bottle of medical alcohol: "Let me help you, your other hand may also be stained with blood, and you cannot completely clean it by yourself."
"OK thanks."
After thinking for a while, Ah Ming squatted down, spread his palms, and stretched them out in front of Dr. Xu.
When Dr. Xu helped Ah Ming wash the blood of the zombies on his hands, Wei Qi and Ji Siwei talked about what happened after they ran out of the hall:
"After we escaped from the hall, we stopped a fleeing townsman and asked the direction of the safe zone. Dr. Xu left a mark with red potion, and then we ran along the north side."
"We shouted 'there are zombies in Shuangdong Building' while running, and the people nearby also ran away in a hurry after hearing it."
Shuangdong Building is exactly the name of the mirrored building.
Ji Siwei nodded, and praised without hesitation: "It's good to escape without forgetting to evacuate the crowd."
"Damn, we've been dizzy for a long time. If we want to evacuate the masses, Doctor Xu reminded us." Wei Qi cleared his throat, and continued: "Doctor Xu said that according to your level, the problem will be solved soon. It’s not easy for you to find, let’s wait here first.”
"It hasn't stopped for long, and you are here."
Ji Siwei asked softly, "Where did those fleeing townspeople in the hall go?"
Before Wei Qi could respond, Yingying pointed to the empty road ahead and replied, "It's right in front of us, so we shouldn't have run very far."
Ji Siwei pondered for a moment: "Let's follow and have a look."
Cheng Baobei was puzzled, "Why did you follow them?"
"They themselves are not sure that they can enter the safe zone. What's the use of us following up? If there are people infected with the zombie virus among them, wouldn't it be troublesome?" A boy wearing a baseball cap in the team said: "If you do this again It's going to be dark if we drag it on, so we might as well hurry up and find food."
"What this little brother said is not unreasonable. The townsman seemed to say that something would come out at night, but he didn't explain what it was." Wei Qi frowned into a rag, and his tone was not very optimistic: " If we don't find food and a safe place to spend the night before dark, we'll be in danger."
Someone echoed: "Yes, is it really necessary to catch up?"
Since entering the dungeon, although Ji Siwei has shown unusual insight and reaction ability, he is still too young. He is the youngest among the taskers, and they haven't fully convinced him yet.
Hearing these questioning voices, Ji Siwei was not in a hurry, and said unhurriedly:
"These victims are the first batch of NPCs we contacted. The information we have obtained so far is all obtained from them. If we follow the clues, we may be able to find the mission."
"Besides, from the current situation, it can be seen that this place has been looted, and food and water are hard to find. Why don't you go to the safe area to try your luck, and pay attention to see if there are supermarkets or granaries along the way."
"Don't forget, the reason why this place is so safe is because the people in the safe zone have come out to clean up the zombies. In other words, the farther away from the safe zone, the more zombies there are."
After the other taskers listened quietly, they fell silent, as if weighing what to do in their hearts.
"Why explain so much to them? It's a waste of time." Ah Ming's face darkened, she stood up, swung the sterilized dagger, and glanced at the others: "Those who don't want to keep up will leave on their own. Come here, and you will be blessed."
"What you said is a bit..." Someone in the team spoke dissatisfiedly, but was interrupted by Ah Ming's cold gaze before he finished speaking.
Ah Ming was not interested in their responses, so he patted Ji Siwei on the shoulder and walked forward.
Ji Siwei understood Ah Ming's way of doing things, rolled his eyes, and followed her leisurely with the cat in his arms.
As soon as the two left, Brother Ku followed closely behind without saying a word.
"Miss Ming, you should change the mask too."
Dr. Xu followed with a very worried mind, carrying the medicine kit.
"Wait for me!"
Yingying was saved by Ji Siwei, and she is a diehard fan of him. She couldn't get in the way just now, and now she hastily showed her attitude with actions.
As soon as these few people moved, the rest of the people looked at me and I looked at you, and suddenly realized that if they were the only ones left to brush the dungeon, it would be no different from pecking at each other.
"I think what Huya said makes sense."
Wei Qi said and ran up.
The others didn't find a step for themselves, so they followed directly.
Ah Ming doesn't care if they can't keep up. In her eyes, even if only Huya and herself are left, the task can be completed.
They quickened their pace, and it didn't take long to catch up with the fleeing townspeople.
They didn't know that the zombies had been killed, and they kept running away in panic.
Already out of breath and sweating profusely, I still dare not stop.
Wei Qi was a little chubby, and after finally catching up, he was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and panting, he said, "They run really fast. Could it be that their true identities are long-distance running champions?"
Yingying said, "Wei Gong, you can catch your breath before you speak."
"Hey, they stopped!"
Someone shouted.
The other person took a breath of cold air: "Why did you stop suddenly, you won't encounter zombies again, don't scare me."
"Don't worry, it's not a zombie." Ji Siwei said flatly, "They are emotionally stable, they should have met acquaintances."
They took this opportunity to go to the front of the team.
Sure enough, as Ji Siwei said, the townspeople stopped because they met acquaintances.
A thin, middle-aged man led four young men, standing opposite the townspeople.
They all wore masks on their faces and looked haggard.
The middle-aged man coughed twice, and said slowly: "Why did you come here? Didn't you ask you to wait for us to come back at Shuangdong Building?"
"Mayor!"
"Mayor, you are finally back!"
The townspeople seemed to have found their backbone, calling out one after another.
"Qige's wife didn't know when he was infected, so she hid it from us and didn't tell us, but she suddenly became ill and bit Qige." The young townsman choked up and said, "We had no choice but to escape."
"Have Archie and his wife turned into zombies?" The mayor held the young man's arms with both hands, his cloudy eyes were full of grief: "So, this place will soon be occupied by zombies."
Ji Siwei led the people through the crowd, walked up to the mayor, and said quietly and gently: "Mayor, please rest assured, those two zombies have been dealt with, and this place is safe for the time being."
The young man's eyes widened in disbelief: "How did you solve it? Are you so strong?"
"My partner is quite skilled." Ji Siwei responded, turned his gentle eyes to the mayor, and asked straight to the point: "Mayor, I heard that you have contacted the people in the safe zone, so I would like to ask, how do you answer? "
The mayor looked up at him with puzzled eyes: "Who are you?"
A young townsman said, "They are the ones who took refuge with us in the Shuangdong Building."
"It turns out that it is like this. You helped to deal with the zombies, which is considered a great help. It doesn't hurt to tell you."
The mayor clasped his hands behind his back, shook his head with disbelief, and said in a deep voice, "It took me a lot of effort to get in touch with my old friend, but unfortunately, the safe zone doesn't agree to accept us."
Hearing this answer, the last bit of hope in the hearts of the townspeople was completely shattered.
This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, breaking the last line of defense in their hearts.
"how so!"
"We escaped here after all kinds of difficulties...how could it be this ending..."
"What now? Are we all going to die here?"
"We have no food. Even if we are not bitten to death by zombies, we will starve to death soon."
The townspeople reacted fiercely. Although their expressions could not be seen clearly through the masks, their teary eyes had already revealed their emotions.
The mayor had already anticipated their reaction, his face was calm, and he made a slow downward gesture with his hands stretched out in midair: "Be safe and don't be impatient."
After the townspeople calmed down a bit, the mayor said slowly and forcefully:
"I can understand this answer. After all, the current situation is bad. If the safe zone accepts us hastily, it will definitely be attacked by other refugees. What's more, it is already close to saturation, and it will be difficult to provide for dozens of mouths."
"But my old friend is still nostalgic, and told me a piece of news in advance."
The mayor cautiously looked around and made sure that there was no one else around except their people and Ji Siwei and his party, so he whispered to the people in front:
"This news will be announced tomorrow. City A is planning to build another safety zone. Now it is short of manpower and needs to recruit talents. My old friend promised me that I can first screen the people I brought."
The mayor's voice changed: "However, if they fail to meet their requirements, they will still not be accepted."
Even so, the townspeople also feel very satisfied, a little hope is better than no hope at all.
In this troubled world, hope is the only motivation to support them to live.
The townspeople whispered the message, and soon, their moods calmed down.
The young townsman asked: "Mayor, what should we do next?"
The mayor said: "Rush to the safe zone immediately, someone will meet us, and then we will be screened according to the standards."
Hearing this, Ji Siwei lowered his head slightly, and said softly to Ah Ming: "Sister Ming, I think the establishment of a new safe zone is related to the mission, what do you think?"
Ah Ming nodded: "Agreed."
Looking at the mayor sincerely with smiling eyes, Ji Siwei asked: "Mayor, can we go together?"
The mayor thought for a moment and replied: "I didn't report the exact number of people with my old friend, you can go together."
The group quickly thanked the mayor.
Under the leadership of the mayor, set off towards the safe zone.
Through chatting with the mayor along the way, Ji Siwei realized that this is not the city center of city A, but a slightly remote development zone.
Going further north, you can walk to the suburbs of city A, where the safety zone is set.
