Chapter 25: Isolation
The frightened men immediately turned away from them and raised their guns on alert.
"They're going to be zombies." Xiao Hu shouted in horror, raised the muzzle of the gun and fired, three shots later burst the head of an American who was twitching.
"Stop, it's not sure yet." A man wanted to stop Xiao Yuhu, "You are committing a crime, even if you kill them, you have to wait for them to become zombies." ”
Out of more than 2,000 people, more than 200 are immunocompromised, and although the incidence of airborne transmission is slow, it still occurs after the citizens enter the house, and it causes more trouble than on the street, after all, the GIs cannot see them and cannot attack.
"What are you waiting for, kill them." Tang Zheng pulled out his pistol and shot at the Americans lying on the ground, shooting his head, which was a good opportunity to earn kills.
This time, no one stopped Tang Zheng, because they saw with their own eyes that a man turned into a zombie, flew up from the ground, and bit him.
Bang, before the zombie pounced, Tang Zheng shot the bullet into its eyebrows.
"Uncle Wang, you are in charge of commanding here, monitoring the situation on the street, Li Wenbo, Kong Licheng, and I will go upstairs." Tang Zheng looked at the man who spoke just now, "You find some people to come with me." ”
John didn't want to act with Tang Zheng, this man was too violent.
"Maybe some of those people will turn into zombies, and we must now ensure the safety of the entire hotel." After Tang Zheng finished speaking, he ran past him, even if the power would not be cut off for the time being, he would not take the elevator, who knows what he would face after the elevator door opened.
Hearing Tang Zheng's words, John's faces changed greatly, and more than a dozen screams had already sounded upstairs, and there were cries for help everywhere.
"Help me with the bag, if you lose it, you get out of the team." Tang Zheng stuffed the rucksack containing the martial arts weapon and food to Xiao Yanhu. The guy pouted. He cursed, but he didn't dare to throw it away.
After the outbreak of the biochemical virus, over time, through the underground sewage circulation system, has spread here, drinking raw water has become a very dangerous thing, but many people do not notice.
"I'll be the spearhead first, and after two floors, rotate!" Tang Zheng holds AA12. With the Bonelli M4 on his back, he began to climb the stairs.
"Bite you." Li Wenbo cursed Tang Zheng, but he didn't know that Tang Zheng had played a little trick.
Tang Zheng first served as a spearhead, in addition to being an example, he could also avoid attacks, now humans are becoming zombies, relatively speaking, the number of zombies is small, and it is safe. Wait a while. It will inevitably increase.
"I'm second." Kong Licheng obviously thought of this as well, and immediately took a position.
Li Wenbo had no courage, and as a result, he was once again despised.
When everyone stepped on the second floor, they saw a chef who had turned into a zombie, banging on the door of 207's room, and someone inside was screaming, and there was no need to guess that he was attacked by zombies.
A group of people were about to aim and shoot, and Tang Zheng had already fired. The shotgun hit the zombie's head, shattering its entire upper body, and smearing the walls with bright marks of shredded flesh.
"Dong Zixuan, are you there?" Tang Zheng shouted, but no one answered, so he continued to climb the stairs.
"Wait, why don't you save people?" John stopped Tang Zheng.
"Who says you can't save it? What are you following me for? It's not that there are no guns? Tang Zheng sneered. With so many people crowded together, it will also hinder the way out.
"Let's go, let's do it ourselves." John was deflated, cursed indignantly, and led the Americans into the second floor.
"You cowards, don't dare to go upstairs and just say that you have the ability to clean up a floor each." Tang Zheng continued to stab John, his feet did not stop, he sprinted quickly, and then slowed down when he entered the third floor. ..., "Safety." Tang Zheng called Dong Zixuan as usual, but still did not receive an answer.
"It's my turn." Kong Licheng served as a sharp soldier, but his luck was very bad, as soon as he stepped into the fourth floor, he saw a zombie squatting five meters away, eating a woman, he was just about to open the gun, and the zombie had been killed by Tang Zheng.
"Go on." Tang Zheng didn't have the heart to clean up the floor, he had to ensure the safety of the newcomer first, and then he lied to John about what he said just now.
Li Wenbo was timid and didn't want to change positions, but Xiao Yuhu and Xu Zhifeng all looked at him, and they had no choice but to bite the bullet, otherwise their influence among colleagues would fall to a low point.
On the ninth floor, Dong Zixuan's answer finally came, and after 9О8 rounds, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why don't you send us a message?" Kong Licheng blamed the policewoman, looked at the hundreds of people staying in the living room, and frowned, "Why are you together?" Squeezed to death, spread out, and go to the next room. ”
"If we stay together, we can take care of everyone." Liu Bin, the foreman of the mine, came out of the bathroom, just washed the coal ash on his face, and when he heard Kong Licheng's words, he replied.
The newlyweds didn't speak, they didn't move, they didn't want to be separated, it was too dangerous.
"Didn't you hear that? Okay, if you don't go, I'll go. Kong Licheng felt embarrassed and depressed, "Tang Zheng, let's go next door." ”
The eyes of the newcomers fell on Tang Zheng in unison.
"It's here, rest assured, no one should be infected with the virus." Tang Zheng comforted Kong Licheng, and looked at Liu Binshi again, "You didn't drink raw water, did you?" ”
"Huh? It won't be a problem, right? After Liu Binshi reacted to why Tang Zheng asked this, the blood on his face faded all of a sudden.
"The water in this hotel is really good, it tastes better than pure water." Li Xizhu shook the water in his hand and walked out with a look of admiration, "I can't use that faucet." ”
Behind him, there were five other mine workers, all crowded in the bathroom, riding their bikes for so long, they were thirsty, and the others had complained that they had occupied the bathroom, but now they were relieved.
The newcomers collectively leaned back, away from Liu Binshi and Li Xizhu, and Zhang Antai and Hu Hong, who were originally going to go in, froze in place and walked away silently, but they were glad in their hearts.
"It should be fine, just a reminder that from now on, you must drink bottled water and eat food with no broken packaging." Tang Zheng took back the rucksack from Xiao Hu and looked at Dong Zixuan, "What about the mother?" ”
Xiao Yanhu saw the two large bags of food, swallowed his saliva, and didn't want to let go.
"I put them next door." Dong Zixuan frowned, obviously noticing that the atmosphere of the team was a little tense.
"I'll take a look, you guys rest, by the way, go down and inform Uncle Wang alone, come back, and you look at it, don't make trouble." Tang Zheng was leaving, he knew that after a while, Liu Binshi would leave the room under pressure, as a head who wanted to give people an image of a good person, he would not give this kind of order, and who would dare to guarantee that none of these newcomers would become zombies? It's still safe to hide for the time being, but it's unlikely, of course, it's the most important thing to observe the zombieization process of the mother.
"What's there to see? Let's sit down and figure out what to do next, shall we? Kong Licheng persuaded.
"That woman was bitten by a zombie dog, and she is likely to become a zombie, so I'll go and observe." Tang Zheng shook his head and left directly.
"It's better to go." Li Wenbo couldn't wait for Tang Zheng to leave, he wanted to take advantage of this time to gather everyone and get the command.
Tang Zheng pushed open the door and saw the woman slapping the boy's butt and driving him away, but the son didn't listen. …,
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to be with my mother."
Listening to her son's concerned voice, the woman hugged her and became in pain.
Tang Zheng didn't bother them, sat on the sofa mountain, turned on the TV, and sure enough, there were no programs, so he took out a few cans of luncheon meat, put them on the coffee table, took out a straight knife, cut a triangular opening, and then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window while eating.
"Are we going to die?" The woman hugged her son and asked Tang Zheng with tears in her eyes.
"Ten of them." Tang Zheng knew that the other party was eager to hear a negative answer, but he couldn't make it up.
"You talk nonsense, my mom won't die." The little boy glared at Tang Zheng angrily, disgusted with him and cursed his mother, "You will die." ”
"I'm sorry." The woman hurriedly covered her son's mouth and apologized to Tang Zheng.
"It's okay." Tang Zheng didn't mind, he wanted the child to take something to eat, but looking at the blood on his body, he gave up, walked over, and personally picked two cans of canned food and bottled water.
"Thank you." The woman thanked her.
"What do you do?" Tang Zheng returned to the floor-to-ceiling window, using ordinary questions to dispel the woman's vigilance, he actually wanted to observe the wounds on the woman's body, but he should be refused.
There weren't many zombies left on the street, and those who weren't killed all ran into the houses on both sides, and occasionally the citizens ran out in fright, but they couldn't hold on for long, and they were pounced.
The woman asked Tang Zheng for help take care of her son, so she answered very simply.
"Mom, eat." The boy opened the can to feed it to his mother, "and it doesn't hurt anymore." ”
"Shall I bandage your wound?" Tang Zheng hesitated, but decided to risk infection and help the woman deal with her injuries.
"No need." The woman touched her son's head, "You go out and wait for me." ”
"No, I'm going to be with my mother." The boy refused.
"Obedient, I'll say a few words to my eldest brother." The woman wanted to entrust her son to Tang Zheng after she died, but the child seemed to be aware of her intentions, hugged her tightly, and said that she would not leave.
"I'll go to the bedroom and sleep for a while." Tang Zheng was confident that he could deal with the woman who had turned into a zombie, but he was still cautious and found an excuse to leave.
"Tang Zheng, teach me how to use a gun." Liu Man pushed the door and walked in, and saw the pair of mothers, immediately covered his nose, and walked towards Tang Zheng avoiding them.
The mother was embarrassed.
"Why don't you stay in the bedroom? Even if you become a zombie, you can't hurt the child. Liu Man wanted to drive the woman away.
The woman also thought of the seriousness of the situation and looked at Tang Zheng pleadingly.
"I'll help you tie it up, even if you become a zombie, there will be no danger, and your son can continue to accompany you." Tang Zheng knew that the woman wanted to stay with her son.
