The dust raised by the smoke. Overwhelming.
The arcade collapsed in front, still burning with flames.
The sound of gunfire in the distance was intermittent. The wailing still continued.
Xin covered with dust. Facing the ruins of the collapsed arcade, she cried loudly.
She kept shouting a name:"Shi Jun."
There were only noisy sounds around me. Xin was crying among the pile of corpses. She looked at the ruins. Then stood up. Staggeringly walked to the ruins.
She picked at the rubble with her hands. He was crying and shouting Shi Jun's name.
Accompanying her through many dangers along the way. The man who has been following her without any complaints.
You can't just leave me like this.
Xin cried and kept digging at the ruins with his hands.
"Are you...crying for me?..." A voice came from the smoke. Xin turned around and looked around. Her worries turned into joy. The tears on his face suddenly stopped.
"Shi Jun..." Xin ran over.
The man in the smoke was Shi Jun. His whole body was covered with ashes. His face was tired and he was trying hard to smile.
"You're not dead... You're not dead..." Xin hugged him. He staggered back a step.
She kept crying on his shoulder. Hold tightly.
"Stop crying...I escaped." Shi Jun.
"kindness."
They just stood like this. Surrounded by corpses. They hugged each other quietly. The sound of gunshots and wailing in the distance served as background music. There were sounds of explosions. That white smoke. Black smoke…
"Get out of here..." Shi Jun.
Xin wiped away her tears. Bowed his head. Pulling Shi Jun along.
Shi Jun staggered and took two steps. He fell to the ground with a pale face. Xin turned around to look. Shi Jun has fallen to the ground. There were pools of blood behind him.
She hurriedly squatted next to Shi Jun. Tear open his black trench coat. There is a slender cement steel bar inserted into the right side of the belly. The blood soaked the black car suit and coat. His face was pale. Lips turn purple.
Xin cried again. Her hands were on him, not knowing how to save him.
"Shi Jun...how are you..." Xin cried.
Shi Jun opened his tired eyes.
"It's okay... I'm a doctor... It shouldn't be hurt... inside." He tried hard to raise his hand. But he let it go weakly.
"Hospital...hospital..." Xin shouted anxiously: "You must go to the hospital...you have lost too much blood..." She cried and said a series of words.
"No need..." Shi Jun.
"No..." Xin looked around. She looked towards the coastal avenue. She pointed forward. "Hold on. I'll take you there."
Xin dragged Shi Jun's body like crazy. Move toward that end.
Shi Jun has fainted.
Xin didn't have any strength to drag her. She fell to the ground. Can't cry.
I can only choke. Constantly choking.
"You can't die...you have escaped..."
"Can't die..."
A white van is coming here from the front.
Xin raised his eyes and saw the car approaching hastily.
She ran over. Open your arms on the road. He used his body to block the car that wanted to move forward.
There was an emergency brake.
The car stopped. Less than one meter away from Xin.
The car window rolled down. There were shouts and curses in the car:"You're crazy. You're looking for death. There are so many people dying in this world. I'll crush you to death."
"Don't stop. Keep driving. Close the windows quickly..."
There seemed to be three voices in the car urging.
"Qing! Why did you stop? Let's go! You're out of your mind!"
"Brother, if you do this, we will all die."
"Brother, has the ship arrived?"
The man who rolled down the window shouted to the back:"Shut up, all of you. I can take you with me if I want. If I don't take you, you all have to get off the bus..."
The people in the car became quiet.
Xin walked to the driver's side and begged the man wearing sunglasses who rolled down the window:"I beg you. My friend lost a lot of blood. He was seriously injured. Can you help me?"
Someone called out from behind the car: "Qing, don't help her... Her friend is already infected."
"Please." Xin cried and begged:"He is not infected... Believe me. Please..."
She cried and begged.
"Beauty...do you remember me?" The young man in his 20s, wearing sunglasses and dyed yellow hair, said.
Xin looked up at the man talking to her.
He took off his sunglasses.
"It's you..." Xin.
"You still remember me. You are really kind. You were sleeping alone in a phone booth on the street." Qing.
Xin remembered when he came out of the phone booth that morning. Two men were robbing a convenience store. One of them threw the can to her and gave her a raincoat. That tall man with yellow hair. It turned out to be him.
"I beg you... help me. Just let us get in the car. Just take me to the door of the hospital. I don't need your help with anything else." Xin begged.
There was a faint sound from behind.
"Qing, don't listen to her. Everyone knows that hospitals are dangerous places. Besides, Hemen Hospital has been burned down."
Qing turned around and shouted again:"Don't you want to go to Sunlight Island? If you want to go, just shut up! This car is mine. I arranged the boat. If you want to go, just say it."
The man behind. No more words.
Everyone looked at Xin quietly outside the car.
"The nearest hospital is in front. Wormwood Hospital." Xin: "Please help me. It only takes 5 minutes to send us there."
Qing looked at his watch.
Then he opened the car door. Take out the key.
"Everyone get out of the car. Carry her friend into the car."
"No way!!"
"Hurry up. Otherwise, no one will be able to leave." Qing.
The car door opened. Three young men came down. They are probably only about 20 years old.
"These people, don't look at their mouths. In fact, they are all warm-hearted. It's just that they didn't like to read before..."
"You're the one with a mean mouth..." A fat man said to Xin: "Beauty... We used to call him "Shortbread"
"You're so damn tough on labor and management. Go and help." Qing made a gesture as if he wanted to hit someone. The man called Fatty walked over quickly.
"Thank you." Xin said gratefully.
"Don't worry. I will send you there. There are still more than two hours left before the ship arrives. There is plenty of time."
The fat man and one of the men named Ah Cai carried Shi Jun into the car. The other one is called Afa. Rearranged the luggage and location in the car.
"Get in the car." Qing.
Xin got in the car. Shi Jun lay in the middle of the car. There were three people sitting on each side. Xin sat in the passenger seat.
She kept looking back at Shi Jun.
"What happened to your friend?" the fat man asked.
"The arcade collapsed..." Xin briefly went through what happened. She knew they were worried whether Shi Jun had been attacked. This answer is to reassure them.
Ah Cai said:"Look. Zhongshan Road is in ruins... The CM troops are really useless."
They looked to the left together. Xin just looked ahead. No words.
"Have you seen the queen?" Ah Fa asked.
"I saw it..." Ah Cai replied: "I heard there is one on Zhongshan Road on TV. It's just that it's too far away, so I can't see its true face."
They looked at Xin together.
"Have you ever seen what the Queen looks like?"
Xin has nothing to say. She was calculating and planning in her mind. What kind of medicine is needed to save Shi Jun?
The car drove onto the interchange bridge of Binjiang Avenue.
The car on the bridge was in flames. The guardrails on some roads were broken.
"He...how is your boyfriend?" Qing asked.
"Blood transfusion and treatment must be done immediately." Xin said. Then he added: "He...is not my boyfriend."
"Oh." He cleared his head. I glanced in the rearview mirror and saw a pale man lying in the car.
"But, you take him to the hospital. How do you save him?"
"I'm a nurse. I often see doctors for surgeries. I know how to do it." Xin.
"Amazing." Qing praised.
"Where are you going?" Xin asked.
"Go to the Sunlight Island opposite and listen to where the CM troops' base in Hemen is. It's surrounded by the sea. It should be safe. They have set up a rescue center. If you follow them, there should be no problem." Qing.
"Where's the boat?"
"There is a way to get it. A friend's father is dead. He can come over in his boat. We made an appointment." Qing.
Xin looked in the rearview mirror.
"I remember. There was a boy following you that day. Where are the others?" Xin remembered that day on the road. I saw another person beside Qing. But I can't see him here.
"he died..."
"I'm sorry..." Xin apologized.
"It doesn't matter. In today's world, living is the right way." Qing.
The car turned a corner. Turn from Binhai Avenue to Zhenhai Road. The first building that appears in front is the Wormwood Hospital. A health care hospital for women and children.
The car avoided several clusters of red corpse mushrooms. I heard it in front of the stairs at the entrance of the hospital.
The place is already in chaos. The overturned bus was lying beside the stairs. Garbage scattered on the ground. Several corpses were lying on the stairs. The corpse mushrooms on their bodies are shaking and waiting for people to approach.
"Thank you... Can you help me carry him to a clean room in the hall?" Xin.
"How long do you need?" Qing asked.
"I need to find blood and tools. As well as medicines and equipment." Xin.
Qing looked back at the three men with their heads lowered.
"Get ready. We'll accompany her up." Qing.
"No way. Brother! We just came from Sibei Road and are about to fight again." Afa. He had a crew cut. Thin body.
"Now that eldest brother has spoken...we want to follow him to Sunlight Island. We can only do it." Fatty.
Ah Cai walked down. Put on CM's protective clothing. I picked up a few more sets.
"Put them all on." Ah Cai.
Qing handed a set to Xin. Xin shook his head.
"No need. Just my body and helmet are fine. They are just as safe."
After they were dressed. Ah Cai and Ah Fa each took out a spray gun from the car. Carry it on your back. If you read it correctly. It should be the flamethrower of the CM cleanup team.
"Fat man." Are you okay?
Only then did the fat man put on his helmet.
"Hold it for us first. We'll carry him in." Ah Fa.
A group of people carried Shi Jun into the hall. There were some corpses lying in the middle of the hall. There were red corpse mushrooms growing on the corpse. They avoid it mentally.
Xin walked in front. She opened the office door. It's nothing but messy. There is nothing else.
She swept everything on the table to the ground. Then Fatty and Ah Cai put the tables together. Lifted Shi Jun up there.
"Xin..." Shi Jun shouted slightly.
"I'm here... You'll be fine. I'm going to save you right now, but you have to hold on." Xin was excited.
Shi Jun was silent. Maybe the bump just now made him sober.
"Thank you, you sent me up here. I am already very grateful. You can go. Then let me come alone." Xin.
"Brother...she's driving us away. So what are you waiting for? Come to the dock soon." Afa.
"Beauty. Look, we are all fully armed. You are driving us away."
Qing looked at Xin:"Don't worry. There's still time. I'll ask Ah Fa and Ah Cai to accompany you to find him. Fatty and I will stay by your friend's side."
Xin didn't know how to express her gratitude.
"Thank you..." was all she could say.
"Hey, Ah Fa and Ah Cai. You have to protect her. Do you understand?" Qing shouted:"Pay attention to safety. The hospital is not a place to be trifled with."
"Brother Biscuit, you are really wordy." Flathead Afa said.
"Haha..." Ah Cai smiled. He also has the same crew cut as Ah Fa. It's just that there is still some color in the hair.
"Looking for death!" Qing made a gesture as if he wanted to hit someone. The two men, Ah Fa and Ah Cai, looked at Xin with a smile.
Xin took a pen and paper and kept writing.
Then she handed it over to Qing next to her.
"The pharmacy is in the lobby on the first floor. Leave one person to guard here. Another person, please help me find all the medicines on this paper. They are all in the syringes. They are clean. It doesn't matter."
Qing handed the paper to Fat next to him.
"Fat man. Go help the beauty find her."
"Brother...this word is really beautiful." The fat man looked at the paper and smiled.
"Save lives. Hurry." Finished. The fat man walked towards the hall.
"Is there anyone who needs my help?" Qing asked.
"Please help me find some disposable drinking water nearby. The hospital has it. Alcohol, etc. I will find the rest myself." Xin Wan. Looking at them gratefully.
Then she bowed deeply.
"You... thank you so much."
"It's still so sensational at this time." Ah Fa:"Beauty. Where do you want us to go with you?"
Xin walked to one side of the hall and looked at the pharmacy. The medicine shelves in the pharmacy have collapsed. The ground was filled with all kinds of medicines. The fat man was digging into the cracks in the broken glass.
"Fat man, be careful. Don't get stuck there." Ah Fa and Ah Cai smiled.
Xin found the map in the hall.
"We are going to the 4th and 5th floors..." Xin finished. Look at the signs on the map. "We have to take the safety stairs."
"Why don't you take the elevator? I see the elevator light is still on." Ah Fa.
The elevator is right in the middle. The light is still on on the 6th floor. It's just that the fallen corpse in front has corpse mushrooms growing on it.
Ah Fa raised the flame spray gun.
"I'm telling you, don't use that thing indiscriminately." Ah Cai knew that Ah Fa was unconscious when holding a spray gun. So I gave him a special warning:"Don't open it unless you have to. You don't know what's in it. Once you open it, it will be gone. Besides, look at the fire extinguisher on it. If you fire it after a while, the water will pour all over your body."
Ah Fa put away the spray gun:"You are right. I hate getting wet."
After Xin finished memorizing the map. We walked from the fire escape to the 4th floor.
Ah Cai and Ah Fa didn't know what exactly Xin wanted to take. When she arrived at a clean delivery room, she rummaged through the boxes and cabinets there. Then he carried a first aid kit. Clear out all unnecessary things inside. Loading the medicines and equipment she found herself.
"Medicine..." Xin's mouth kept chanting. Keep walking along the corridor.
A baby's cry came from upstairs
"Wow...Wow..."
The three of them were stunned. This mugwort hospital is full of wounds. There was even a baby crying.
They listened carefully. It's a baby, that's right.
