Chapter 36 Suicide(1/2)

The zombies gathered outside the building were quickly killed. Stepping on the soft ground that had not yet been leveled and the slippery flesh and blood corpses, Su Hao strode into the bottom floor of the building.

At the bottom of the stairs leading to the rooftop, two zombies were surrounding a dying middle-aged man and biting them hard. They were eating very attentively and did not notice Su Hao and others walking behind them.

Zhou Chen directly blew the head of one of the zombies. Chen Kun pulled out the steel bars from the pile of sand beside him, roared and rushed over, pierced the head of the zombie with a piece of meat in his mouth, and inserted it hard on the opposite wall.

The man's chest was torn open, and the huge wound stretched to his shoulders, revealing his pink lungs, and even seeing the contracting and beating heart through the gaps between his ribs.

A trace of pity flashed in Su Hao's eyes, and he silently stared at the man for a few seconds. From the other party's eyes that still had a breath of life, he saw hope and excited gazes.

The zombies have been killed and saved... aren't they?

Su Hao looked like a quiet sculpture. His face was expressionless and his breathing was not enough to drive his chest to rise and fall.

"Sorry! You are seriously injured. No one can save you."

Shaking his head, Su Hao held the hunting knife in his right hand and inserted it directly into the man's throat. He cut it across the cross, cutting off the shocked head from his neck.

If it were just a bite from the outside of the body, he might be able to save him. However, even with blood all over his body, Su Hao could not recover the man's serious injury's physical function. The only thing he could do was to let him die faster and minimize the pain.

..

The iron fence leading to the rooftop of the building was locked. The moment Su Hao raised his foot and walked up the steps, several black figures flashed out from the fence. Two people were holding guns, and the others' weapons were mostly steel bars and iron pipes. Their faces were full of ecstasy and shock, and their lips and bodies were shaking slightly.

"Stop! You...Who are you?"

Chen Erzhu felt his face burning, which showed that a lot of blood was rushing to the top of his head. Even he couldn't explain clearly why he shouted viciously at Su Hao who was standing on the steps? It was obvious that these people killed all the zombies downstairs, they saved themselves and everyone who fled to the rooftop.

But why...

This is an instinct caused by fear. It is difficult for people who are in dangerous environments for a long time to trust strangers in a short period of time.

"Don't shoot———"

Su Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, put away his hunting knife, and said seriously to the person waiting opposite the fence: "I saw the flag and rushed over. Hopefully, it's not too late."

As a time traveler, Su Hao can understand the ideas of these survivors. The enhanced agile thinking and physical functions can avoid attacks at close range. With full concentration, the gun in the other party's hand does not pose any threat to him. You only need to pay attention to the finger that holds the trigger to avoid bullets in time.

After being silent for about three minutes, the locked fence was pushed away from it.

Chen Erzhu rushed over, hugged Su Hao's shoulder tightly, and cried like a child. After the brief hostility subsided, strong gratitude and gratitude rushed into his brain like a tide, drowning all his thoughts.

"Let's go! Get out of here."

Su Hao kept urging these people who were almost broken, and Chen Kun and Zhou Chen helped the weak survivors walk downstairs. It was very dangerous here. Maybe a large group of zombies would appear again. The long-term hunger made the survivors malnourished, pale and thin, and even a little swollen.

Zhang Jilin sat next to the solar energy storage pool, looking at them with a blank expression.

Su Hao walked over, looked at the wound on his leg, and didn't say anything, and grabbed the other party's right hand and wanted to help him up. Zhang Jilin was obviously very resistant to this movement. He gritted his teeth and kept twisting, trying to pull back his arm, shouting wildly: "Put me down! Put down! Put down quickly-----"

Su Hao was a little surprised. He let go of his hand, stood aside, and looked at the man with a sad face and pale face in a strange way.

Chen Erzhu walked to Su Hao, looked at Zhang Jilin with a complicated expression, and whispered: "He is our boss, a good person."

After saying that, without giving any explanation, he turned around and walked down the stairs.

The wind was very strong on the rooftop.

At such a close distance, Su Hao clearly saw that Zhang Jilin's face looking up at the sky was covered with tears, as if he was praying or repenting.

"...you guys, go! Let me stay alone for a while."

He didn't even look at Su Hao standing next to him and said to himself.

Su Hao frowned, glanced over the other party's swollen injured leg, and said, "Don't worry about the injury on your leg, we have a way to deal with it, you won't become a zombie."

Zhang Jilin turned his head. The expression on his face was very calm, but Su Hao could feel the despair and sorrow buried deep in his body. He stared at Su Hao and forced a smile: "Let's go! Let me stay here alone."

At this moment, Su Hao seemed to see those friends who died in the future. Their expressions before death were like the man in front of him, shrouded in unknown shadows.

He took a deep breath, tried to clear his thoughts, and took out the gun from his holster.

Seeing this movement, Zhang Jilin, who was numb on his face, smiled again. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and cleared his throat, but because of his weakness, his voice became hoarse: "Thank you! Don't be so troublesome, don't waste bullets for me, I can do it myself."

Su Hao was silent for a moment and said, "We can go together. We have plenty of food, water, and a safe station. Everything will be fine."

Zhang Jilin was still smiling: "Thank you."

His voice was very firm, more serious than anything Su Hao had heard in the past.

Su Hao sighed and stopped insisting. He silently stared at the man for a few seconds, turned around and left.

Except for Zhang Jilin, there was no one on the rooftop.

He listened carefully to the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther down the stairs, struggled to climb to the edge of the rooftop, leaned out of the fence, and looked down at people walking into the off-road vehicle, starting, driving out of the construction site, and getting farther and farther away...

At this moment, the world is unprecedentedly calm.

He climbed down the fence and took out a suitcase from under the solar water heater guard plate. He skillfully opened the password lock and lifted up the lid, and the stacks of neatly placed red banknotes were exposed inside.

The number is very large, hundreds of thousands.

Zhang Jilin stroked the banknotes with his trembling hands, his eyes full of emotion.

When the virus broke out, he happened to ask the money from the bank to pay it to workers and company subordinates as a benefit. Because, from that time onwards, it was Children's Day on June 1st.

Chen Erzhu is right———He is indeed a good boss and a good person.

Zhang Jilin's mind replays the scenes of the past——there are sons, wives, relatives and family. There are joys, quarrels, and indifference and warm memories.

"I'm so stupid! What's the use of earning so much money? Why don't you spend more time with them?"

He talked to himself, crying, but his expression and eyes were smiling.

He reached out to take out the banknotes from the suitcase, tore off the bundles of banknotes, threw them high and out from afar. A red curtain rolling in the wind suddenly flew over the rooftop that had not yet been completed.

The shadow of the off-road vehicle can no longer be seen.

The expression on Zhang Jilin's face was very satisfied and full of expectations. He felt that he had finally thrown away the heaviest burden, extremely relaxed and comfortable feeling made him feel that he could almost fly like a bird.

He climbed to the edge of the rooftop again, supported his upper body with both hands, poked out to look at the bottom of the building like an abyss below. He turned his head again, and finally glanced at the world he once missed, and jumped down with tears and smiles.

..

The off-road vehicle slowly drove into the ground along the familiar passage, and the remaining personnel who received the message through the on-board radio were already standing at the stairs. They helped a weak rescued person out of the car and slowly helped him into the room on the first floor.

Lao Song once mentioned: Another temporary camp should be set up nearby to accept newly joined team members. Because no one can see through the other party’s thoughts, everyone has their own interests and demands. As the team expands, the number of personnel increases, and various contradictions and difficulties will arise. When the camp outside the city has not yet been built, they can only find another empty house to accommodate new entrants.

Su Hao has selected a building more than ten stories across the street. It turned out to be a hotel. Just lead people to clear the zombies inside to obtain enough space for hundreds of people.

Li Xiaomei made a big pot of porridge. She was already very skilled in dealing with such things, knowing what to do at this time and what people rescued from outside needed.

There were drip bottles hanging on the heads of the bed, and Zhou Chen injected each person in sequence. The liquid in the bottle was glucose, and together with the intravenous syringe, they were all retrieved from nearby pharmacies or medical products companies.

Zhou Chen is a very professional doctor. The first aid plan he proposed is more in line with the physiological structure of the human body, and has been recognized by all core members of the team, and was even asked by Su Hao to be used as a system.

"These people are very strong in constitutions, but they lack nutrition. Four people fainted on the way, and two were bitten by zombies. They were not fatal, but they had already shown signs of rising body temperature. Immune drugs must be injected as soon as possible."

Standing in front of Su Hao, Zhou Chen was a little nervous. It was not because he was afraid of Su Hao's powerful force, but because he was worried that he would not be able to obtain the potion. The two injured people would have to be infected and mutated in the end.

Su Hao walked into his exclusive room on the second floor, took out ten pre-prepared immunization potions from the secret compartment of the wall, left the room, walked downstairs and handed them to Zhou Chen.

"You will keep these things in the future. If they are not enough, please come to me."

Zhou Chen was a little surprised, and felt the attention and trust from Su Hao. He nodded seriously and turned around and left.

..

When night fell, the chaotic atmosphere in the building had returned to calm.

The glucose rebate injection did work, and the six people rescued from the construction site quickly recovered from their heart. They sat on the bed and drank porridge silently, and there was no joy on their faces after being rescued, only numbness and fatigue.

Almost everyone gathered at the door of the room, looking at these rescued people who were similar to their destiny in compassion and silently. Especially Chen Kun and others who were rescued from the bath center, their eyes were full of sympathy, and they also felt a little glad and emotion.

A middle-aged man in his thirties first put down his empty porridge bowl. He was slender, tall, and his skeleton was highlighted from under his skin that didn't have much fat. His skin was dark, his facial features were gentle, and he was very thin.

"..Thanks!"

He looked around the crowd standing around him blankly, fixed his eyes on Su Hao, who was obviously the leader, smiled weakly, and said, "Thank you for your porridge, it's very delicious."

Su Hao nodded lightly and asked, "What's your name?"

"...Dong Guoping."

Maybe because of the excessive physical loss, the man's voice sounded a little hoarse.

Su Hao continued to ask: "Are there any other survivors on that construction site?"

Dong Guoping shook his head tiredly, and a sad expression appeared on his pale face: "It's gone... At the beginning, we had more than 80 people in total. They died, they scattered, and people kept leaving. If this continues, we don't know how long we can last. Maybe... I mean maybe, if you come a few hours later, we might all jump down the building... Haha, instead of being eaten by those monsters, it's better to choose to commit suicide."

There was silence in the room, and people even had a breathing rhythm.

At this moment, Su Hao couldn't help but think of those refugees who were working hard for food and water in the wilderness in the future. He sighed secretly, his eyes returned to the man opposite and said calmly: "Now, what are your plans?"

He didn't want to repeat the mistakes that happened to those rescued in the bath center - instead of letting the team split due to different opinions, it would be better to kill this dangerous sign now and give the other party a chance to choose.

Dong Guoping exchanged glances with the others lying on the hospital bed, raised his head, and replied with great anticipation: "If possible, we want to join you."

Xinyan stood up from the crowd watching at the door, walked behind Su Hao, and said seriously: "There is something that must be explained---We are refugees in this city like you. There are no rescuers here, and no one will come to save us. Food, shelter, safety...all things can only be up to us."

"Actually, we've already thought of it."

Next to him, Chen Erzhu, who had been injected with immune agents and had a bandage on his shoulder wound, inserted his words: "On the day when the chaos just began, a convoy passed by outside the construction site. At that time, I was buying cigarettes in a roadside shop. I heard from the traffic police who maintained order that it was a business delegation to the Thai Consulate in Kunming. It seemed that there was a deputy mayor and other figures inside. The situation was very big, with police cars leading the way, all Audi and BMW... Those people died miserably, and many cars were hit together... How to say, they were all high-ranking officials and nobles with status, and those people's lives must be worth more than us. Although my cultural level was not high, I knew some truths--even they were dead, and the bodies were thrown on the street and rotten and smelly, and no one would care about small characters like us."

The words are rough, but they make sense.
To be continued...
