Chapter 26 The Gunner and the Doctor
Large supermarkets like Walmart must have indoor fire hydrants, and they are easy to find.
On the second floor, Jason quickly dragged the hose and water gun connected to the fire hydrant. Kristen ran to open the valve again. Jason and Bowen held the high-pressure water gun and stretched out the window. More than a dozen fires broke out outside the supermarket.
The spots were extinguished quickly, and many zombies were knocked away by high-pressure water jets.
Tang Ji and the others quickly reached the second floor. Robbie collapsed directly on the ground, leaning on the shelf and shaking his head. Tang Ji ran to the window and looked outside to make sure that the fire was put out.
He moved Jason's shoulders back and forth.
"Jason, you did a great job!"
Jason is young and strong, and looks thin, but his physical strength is really not comparable to others, and no hip-hop dancer is in poor health. Those who are able work hard, and Jason can be said to be the most tired one.
"It's okay, Don..." Jason gasped and dropped the water gun in his hand, smiled, and showed a pair of bright white teeth on his dark face. He paused and frowned slightly, and then said solemnly
: "Tang, let me ask you a question."
"What?" Tang Ji pinched his waist and panted slightly. He turned to look at Robbie who was sitting on the ground not far away, then turned to look at Jason and asked.
"Why is it not good to put out the fire and burn them to death?" Jason seemed confused. There were tens of thousands of zombies outside, very close to each other. The fire would probably burn them all to death.
"We might be burned to death." Tang Ji looked at Jason with a look like are you an idiot, and explained: "Walmart uses a lot of floor-to-ceiling window structures on the outside. The glass will burst if it is burned for a long time. When the zombies rush in, the entire supermarket will be destroyed.
They will all be set on fire, and we will either be eaten or burned to death." After Tang Ji said this, he suddenly felt that although Jason was a bit lively and energetic, and sometimes couldn't turn his head around, he was definitely a trustworthy person.
Because he clearly has doubts about putting out fires, but he still acts first and asks questions later.
"I understand." Jason pointed to his head and nodded, "Don't look at me with that look. I understand. I just...I didn't think about it just now." Jason curled his lips helplessly.
, Laura looked at her nephew and laughed.
"Aunt..." Jason rolled his eyes at Laura.
"Don't laugh, haha..." Laura lay on old Mike's back and laughed non-stop. Her nephew was so funny sometimes.
"Let's pack up and leave the window!" Mike also smiled, closed a window, kicked the bullet casings on the floor, picked up two guns and the cloth belt with bullets, and said hello to Laura
Walk inside the supermarket.
Soon, the windows were closed and everyone else left, leaving only Tang Ji standing by the window looking out, and Robbie sitting against the shelves not far away.
Robbie sat on the ground and calmed down for a while, then staggered up and limped to Tang Ji's side.
"doctor……"
"You are so uncool." Tang Ji turned to look at Robbie, his eyes calm.
"Yes... I... was impulsive." Robbie tried to explain intermittently, but in the end he only said: "I apologize to you!"
"I accept!" Tang Ji looked at Robbie for a long time, slowly pulled out a smile on his lips, and immediately stopped. In Tang Ji's opinion, Robbie was indeed too impulsive, but he didn't have to bear the misery after being impulsive.
Because he is very capable and knows how to admit his mistakes, Tang Ji is somewhat relieved that he did not save him in vain.
"How are your injuries? Have you been bitten or scratched by a zombie?" Tang Ji looked at Robbie's miserable appearance and glanced over with a slight frown. Robbie was covered in blood and it was hard to tell the extent of his injuries.
What kind of.
"I haven't been scratched or bitten. I have a lot of scratches. The wounds may have come into contact with zombie blood. I may turn into a zombie soon. Who knows? Also, I just fell on my left leg. I don't know if it's injured or not.
Bones." As he spoke, Robbie took off his coat. The tight white vest underneath was completely stained red. There were many small scratches on his arms. They were not serious, just a little blood.
But He may have been infected with zombie blood, but it is not 100% certain that he will be infected. The survivors who survived after the apocalypse have produced virus antibodies in their bodies and are immune to viruses in the air. In other words, survivors are completely immune to mild toxins.
He is immune and can heal on his own. There are no major wounds on Robbie's body, so it is hard to say whether he is infected or not.
"Is this the reason why you came back?" Tang Ji suddenly figured it out. He was a little confused at first, why would Robbie come back even if he didn't die outside? The number of zombies outside Walmart is outrageous, and it is always dangerous to come back.
Yes, Robbie has no reason to take this risk. With his skills, as long as he handles it carefully, the probability of one person leaving the city is very high, and it is even easier than with multiple people. After all, more people have a greater target.
"Yes, you are a doctor. You have saved me more than once, and I think this time may be no exception... I hope, God has not taken me away so many times, and I think it will not be the case this time.
"Robbie said, patting Tang Ji's shoulder and said seriously: "I trust you, doctor!"
"Let's find a place to treat the wound!"
Tang Ji helped the limping Robbie to the southwest corner of the third floor of the supermarket. That area sells medical supplies and medicines, most of which are common for household use. There are not many for hospital use, and there are very few prescription drugs.
"
Tang Ji carefully examined Robby's body. He found thirteen bruises all over his body, the most serious one on his back. Tang Ji could only observe the injuries on Robby's legs from the outside. There was redness and swelling in the joints.
Tang Ji could not check whether the bones and joints were seriously injured because he did not have the equipment.
"There are many wounds. Theoretically, the chance of infection is high. However, since you have been wearing clothes, there are only two or three places that can touch the outside blood, and they are only scratches, so you don't have to worry too much. Other than that, the only problem is
It's your leg, it needs to rest for at least a week." Tang Ji said while washing Robbie's wound, using all disinfectant. Robbie stood naked and leaning against the wall, feeling a little embarrassed. Except for the man,
Apart from being embarrassed to be naked in a public bathroom, it would be awkward in any other place. Tang Ji was very calm. He had seen too many. According to his estimation, he had seen more naked men than naked women.
, there is no way, this is his job.
Half an hour later.
In the center of the second floor of Wal-Mart, in an open space vacated by moving the shelves, Robbie put on new clothes and was tied to a chair. This was just in case, there was no telling whether Robbie was infected with Tangji.
So he could only tie it up and wait until the time for the zombies to mutate before releasing it. This was Robbie's own request. Originally, Tang Ji had planned to let people watch him, but Robbie insisted on doing so.
Night soon fell, and darkness enveloped the once brightly lit metropolis of New York.
All the lights in the supermarket are turned off. After all, supermarkets are different from other ordinary houses. If the lights are turned on, the entire supermarket will be brightly lit. It will be too conspicuous in a dark city and will definitely attract the attention of zombies.
There is a weak light coming out of the window on the second floor of the supermarket. These lights come from small desk lamps. According to Tang Ji, it is forbidden to use flashlights because the light of flashlights is in bunches and will shine out of the window accidentally.
, Zombies are very easily attracted to this kind of light, so if everyone wants to light up, they use a desk lamp.
"Hey, man, why don't you say anything?" Jason rode his bicycle in circles around Robbie who was tied to the chair. He had been harassing Robbie for a long time, and Robbie closed his eyes impatiently.
"Brother, what did you do before? I heard that your marksmanship is very good..."
"Brother, you are seriously injured. You dare to fight in and out of the zombies, cool!"
"Hey man..."
Jason can be so annoying sometimes. He may be too boring and talkative. Robbie closed his eyes without saying a word, only feeling flies buzzing in his ears. He regretted it a little.
Sorry, I really shouldn't ask to be tied up and listen to this chatty man's endless nagging.
"Jason, don't provoke him, he will beat you to death when I let him go!" Tang Ji's voice came from the walkie-talkie on Jason's waist. Jason turned to look at the end of the shelf, only to see Tang Ji and Man
Nila came over.
"Congratulations, Robbie, the time is up!" Tang Ji walked to Robbie's side, looked down at his watch and confirmed again, then bent down and untied the rope for Robbie. Robbie opened his eyes and smiled.
.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Manila pressed her index finger to her lips and pinched her chin with her thumb, and said to Jason with a low smile. At this time, Robbie also cooperated and turned his eyes to Jason, his eyes widened.
Brutal look.
"Um... I'll leave first, you guys talk..." Jason swallowed and ran away in a rather embarrassed manner on his bicycle.
After all the ropes were untied, Robbie stood up and stretched his upper body. Tang Ji handed a crutch to Robbie and explained in a low voice for Jason: "Jason doesn't mean any harm, he's just... too lively.
"As he spoke, Tang Ji shrugged his shoulders, looking quite helpless.
"I see!"
Around ten o'clock at night, on the second floor of the supermarket, people moved some mattresses from the third floor and spread them into several beds in the open space. There was originally an employee lounge in the supermarket, but it was too small.
, it is not suitable for everyone to get together, and it is obviously not suitable to separate when sleeping at night. If any danger does occur, it will be inconvenient to deal with it.
After that, Tang Ji and others went to the sales area where they sold trinkets and took some bells, wind chimes and other things. They strung them together with ropes and connected the shelves one after another, surrounding the area where they slept.
, so that no zombies can approach them quietly.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, the sun rose as usual, and the desolate city became a little more lively, but the zombies that could be seen everywhere cast a haze of death on the city.
Before everyone was about to disperse, Tang Ji stopped everyone, and everyone stopped and sat together.
"Today I would like to officially introduce our new friend, Robbie!" Tang Ji pointed at Robbie and said.
Snap!
Jason clapped his hands twice and put down his hands in embarrassment when no one else moved.
"Introduce yourself in detail, we have already said that!" Tang Ji looked at Robbie and said, before adding: "They know that I am an underground doctor, you can say anything, it is best not to hide it."
Robbie nodded and glanced at the crowd. He seemed not used to speaking to a group of people in such an equal way. He cleared his throat and said, "My name is Robbie. I am twenty-eight years old. I was born in New Jersey."
I grew up in the countryside, never went to college, joined the Army at the age of 18, fought in the Iraq War, was wounded, and received a Silver Star and a Purple Heart. When combat troops withdrew from Iraq in 2010, I returned to the United States.
A total of twenty-three enemies were shot and killed on the battlefield. I applied for military discharge at the age of 23 that year. I suffered from post-war psychological syndrome. I felt a lot of pressure and often acted aggressively. In order to release this pressure, I
When I came to New York in 2011, I joined a gang and became a gang shooter. I stayed in the gang until the end of the world, and that's how I met the doctor."
"That's it." Robbie said and looked at the others.
"His marksmanship is very good, the best I have ever seen." Tang Ji shrugged and added for Robbie.
