Chapter 136: Treating a Dead Horse as a Living One
Zhang Su drove on the highway, looking around constantly. Although the sky was dark, if there were traces of a large group of zombies, he could still see them. Before he found any zombies, he discovered a moving object on the rearview mirror screen!
"Damn, why did the silly dog come!"
No need to see it too clearly, just from a rough outline, Zhang Su judged that it was the Corgi Lucky. He glanced at the speedometer, which was about forty kilometers per hour. After having a comparison, he had a more intuitive judgment of Lucky's speed.
Although Lucky could catch up to the RV, Zhang Su still slowed down and opened the car door.
Lucky ran onto the car quickly. After finding Zhang Su, it was completely at ease, lying on the carpet, panting heavily, looking up at Zhang Su, as if saying, I'm amazing, right? Praise me quickly.
Zhang Su had no time to delay. After Lucky got on the car, he started the car again immediately and said: "Lucky, you aren't hurt, right?"
Seeing it running happily, it didn't look hurt, but he still asked.
Woof.
Lucky responded very peacefully. Although they couldn't understand each other's language, from the emotion, it could be heard that it was definitely fine.
"Your speed is truly perverted. Damn, those guys driving the car aren't slower than you. They shouldn't be in trouble, right!"
Thinking about it, Zhang Su saw a light flash in the southwest direction, followed by a loud bang!
"Damn!"
The unusual sound plus the sky-high fire, no need to ponder, he knew it was an explosion. If nothing went wrong, it was definitely one of the three cars!
Zhang Su floored the gas and drove forward. Soon he saw a car speeding toward the highway on the gravel road in the fields. Because the speed was too fast, mud and water were splashed up. From the car lights, he could see it was a Prado, which made his heart go cold.
Three cars went together, and now only one remained. The other two cars were finished?
"Finished, finished, finished!"
Zhang Su muttered, hurriedly driving the car to the T-junction to wait for the Prado to drive over.
"Brother Su!"
Zhang Su didn't wait too long. Lu Yubo was holding the steering wheel with one hand and waving frantically with the other, sticking half his body out of the car window.
Hiss, hiss!
A sharp tire-grinding sound rang out, and the Prado stopped on the road.
"Where are the people? Xiao Xue and the others?"
Zhao Xue knew Zhang Su must be worried about her and Wu Lue, so she hurriedly reported: "Brother Su, we are here! Wu Lue and I are fine!"
The rear car door opened, and five mud people rolled out like gourds, showing that they had been in a very crowded state in the car...
"Brother Su, something happened!" Lu Yubo ran off the car and pointed to the passenger seat: "Chen Hanzhou was bitten on his hand!"
"Damn, how did that happen!"
Zhang Su's head buzzed. Usually, Chen Hanzhou didn't talk much, but he was very active in executing missions, and his combat power was also good. He was a good hand in the team.
He pulled open the car door and saw Chen Hanzhou sitting gloomily in the passenger seat.
Seeing Zhang Su open the car door, Chen Hanzhou rarely squeezed out a smile. This was the first time he had smiled since leaving the Phoenix International Gas Station.
Before Chen Hanzhou could speak, Zhang Su pulled him off the car and asked urgently: "Where were you bitten?"
"On my hand." Chen Hanzhou shook his right hand. On the edge of his palm, there was a row of shallow and dense tooth marks, not deep, but blood was seeping out. It could be seen that he had taken care of the zombie as soon as he was bitten, otherwise, this piece of flesh would be gone.
Clang.
Zhang Su pulled out his dog-leg machete and said: "Quick, take off your clothes!"
"Brother Su, don't, don't..."
"Don't talk nonsense, someone come and pin him down!"
Zhang Su said loudly to the people beside him.
Everyone knew what Zhang Su was going to do as soon as they saw it, and they stepped forward without a word to pin Chen Hanzhou down.
"Brother Su, it's too late. It only takes a few minutes for the blood to circulate through the whole body. The virus has already spread. Don't waste your effort."
Chen Hanzhou was pinned to the ground by others. He didn't struggle, just said faintly.
"No one knows what's going on with this virus. Stop talking nonsense. Treat a dead horse as a living one!"
Zhang Su took a plastic zip tie from his pants pocket and skillfully tied it tightly on Chen Hanzhou's upper arm. Then, without greeting anyone, the cold light of the dog-leg machete flashed in his hand!
"Ah..."
"Ah, ah!"
With the fall of the knife, two shouts rang out. First, Chen Hanzhou screamed in pain, and then Wu Lue, who was pinning him down, fell to the ground holding half an arm, his face full of mud and horror.
"Su, Brother Su, what, what should I do?"
Wu Lue was very helpless holding the arm. Throw it away? Not appropriate. Don't throw it away? How to deal with it?
"Throw it away and be done with it! Quick, Bo-zai, take him back to find Xiaoshan!"
After saying that, Zhang Su helped Chen Hanzhou, who had a pale face and trembling lips, into the passenger seat of the Prado.
"Good, good!" Lu Yubo was also shocked. He was ruthless toward zombies and enemies, but seeing his companion lose an arm was still quite sad. After the passenger seat door closed, he floored the gas and sped away.
Zhang Su looked at the blood splashing on the ground, his brows furrowed deeply, and said: "I hope Xiao Chen can survive this hurdle."
Everyone was silent. At this time, they really didn't know what to say.
Zhang Su was in a daze for a while, the sky slowly brightened, and the haze in his heart was slightly swept away. He looked up at the three strange faces, nodded slightly without saying much, and greeted the five people: "Help me watch the roadbed, I'll turn around first!"
On the way back, Zhang Su asked while driving: "Xiao Xue, what happened to the explosion before?"
"There was no road to run, so Wu Lue and I decided to light the car to attract the zombies..."
Zhao Xue said weakly, not knowing if what she did was right or wrong, looking down slightly at the sticky carpet.
"The method is okay, just a bit too radical. Fortunately, Bo-zai's car didn't have any problems... Speaking of which, you three, where is your car?"
Zhang Su looked at the three people sitting on the coffee table from the rearview mirror.
"That, our car broke down in the fields, and it wouldn't move even when stepping on the gas... Fortunately, that little brother turned back, otherwise we would have been miserable."
The slightly chubby Liu Tianji recounted the previous experience, a layer of sweat on his forehead.
"Your reactions were not bad. If you were any slower, you would have been buried by the zombies. Thanks for the help this time." Zhang Su said.
"Actually, we were completely stunned at the time. We just watched what the G-Wagon and the Prado did, and we did the same."
Liu Tianji just wanted to perform more in a crisis and hoped to join this survivor group. He didn't expect that he almost took all three of them in, so he didn't dare to claim credit and told the truth.
Zhang Su could naturally guess the thoughts of the Tiguan trio. This was a very normal move and also a very necessary behavior. Positive performance was always better than sitting and waiting for death or being numb.
"There is space in the RV, so you guys stay together for now." Zhang Su spoke. People who could help in a crisis were generally not too bad. Even if there was a component of cleverness, at least they really did it, and almost hung up...
"Eh, eh, good, Big Brother, may I ask your surname?"
Liu Tianji was very happy to hear that Zhang Su was willing to accept them for the time being. He subconsciously wanted to take out cigarettes, only to remember that those things were thrown into the zombie pile forever along with the car.
"Zhang. They all call me Brother Su. You can call me that too. If you aren't used to it, calling me Zhang Su is also fine."
Zhang Su looked at the Prado and the Faulkner Mobil in front, feeling a bit low.
"No, no, how could we not be used to it? I hope Brother Su will take care of us." Liu Tianji was quite polite. He looked like a person who was slick and sophisticated. While talking, he nudged Wang Xin with his elbow.
"I also hope Brother Su will take care of us!" Wang Xin understood and hurriedly followed Liu Tianji to express friendliness to Zhang Su.
Zhou Litao didn't speak, in a state of wandering in his mind, in a daze.
Zhang Su smiled at Liu Tianji and Wang Xin, not caring about Zhou Litao, guessing that he was probably scared.
"Xiaoshan, how is Xiao Chen?"
After parking the car, Zhang Su ran into the Faulkner Mobil for the first time and saw Zhong Xiaoshan busy, with Pei Lan and Yu Qing holding flashlights to illuminate, simulating the effect of a shadowless lamp.
"I haven't turned into a zombie yet, Brother Su..." Chen Hanzhou made a somewhat weak sound, then smiled inexplicably, saying: "Damn, I've become Yang Guo. Pei Lan is also hanging her arm. I don't know if those two guys, Kuang Miao and Song Yijun, also broke their arms, hahaha."
"You still... sigh, they..." Pei Lan wanted to say you still have the heart to laugh, but then thought that Chen Hanzhou hadn't laughed like this for a long time, and the words that reached her lips were taken back.
"Brother Su, I'm a bit sleepy..." Chen Hanzhou turned his head lightly and said: "Nurse Zhong, did you give me anesthesia?"
"You lost too much blood... Stop talking, save some energy. If you want to sleep, just sleep. It's fine." Zhong Xiaoshan said softly while busy with her work.
Zhang Su found a place to sit and said: "Right, Xiao Chen, you sleep."
"Brother Su, then I'll sleep. You must watch me. If I turn into a zombie, give me a quick end. Don't let me harm anyone, can you?"
Chen Hanzhou muttered.
Pei Lan looked at Chen Hanzhou's weak appearance, tears swirling in her eye sockets. Unable to bear watching, she turned her head to the side.
"Okay, I've loaded the USP with bullets. I won't let you suffer. Rest first, sleep."
Zhang Su didn't say nice words to comfort Chen Hanzhou. He believed the other party didn't want to hear those, and it was more practical to promise his request.
"I didn't even get a chance to touch the gun. It's a pity. Brother Su, if I don't turn into a zombie, can you let me fire a few shots?"
Chen Hanzhou resisted waves of dizziness and asked.
"Play, I'll give you a hundred bullets, play enough, sleep first!"
Zhang Su saw Zhong Xiaoshan winking at him constantly, knowing that it was best to let Chen Hanzhou rest immediately.
"Hmm, I'll sleep for a while, sleep for a while. Brother Su, you are a good person. I shouldn't have said that about you before. I'll sleep for a while..."
Muttering, Chen Hanzhou slowly closed his eyes.
"Disperse, everyone rest."
Zhang Su took a deep breath, walked to the water basin to wash his face, looked at the mirror for a long time, sat down opposite Chen Hanzhou again, and the USP was already in his hand.
Sending off a teammate was too cruel; only he could bear it...
