walk alone.

The old village chief and his party of eight walked carefully towards the county hospital. On the way, they met a few passers-by in a hurry, but before they came up to ask the reason, these people were like frightened rabbits, and they didn't know much about it. The son disappeared.Everyone had no choice but to continue heading towards the county hospital with full of doubts and bewilderment.

The desolate streets are empty and quiet, not as bustling and crowded as everyone remembers.All the people could hear were their footsteps and their light and sometimes heavy breathing, which made the people who were originally complaining about the chaotic and congested traffic in the county town unable to help but crazily miss the bad traffic conditions in the county town before.Everyone held back their stomachs and wanted to say something, but they didn't know where to start. In addition, the empty streets were too quiet. They even tried to slow down their breathing, so how could they dare to speak casually?

In this way, everyone moved forward cautiously and nervously, avoiding the dark alleys and alleys along the way, and only took the open road. It took nearly two hours to reach the county hospital, which looked much more dilapidated than before.

"Grandpa Village Chief, why don't you wait outside first? I'll go over and have a look." Yu Hui felt that the hospital didn't look like there were people there, but he was afraid that something dangerous inside would hurt the elderly, so he couldn't help suggesting in a low voice. road.

The old village head looked at the twin knives gleaming with cold light that Yu Hui held tightly in his hands, then at the calm old man Chen, and finally he whispered: "Go, be careful."

"Um……"

Yu Hui was about to act, but was dragged by Liu Qingquan.

"Grandpa Village Chief, let Xiaohui and I go there together, we can help each other out."

"Go, be more careful." Seeing the old village head looking at him, Mr. Chen sighed and instructed in a low voice.Mr. Chen knew the three children in his family well, and they all had good ideas. He couldn't stop them from doing what they wanted to do.

Qin Bin had scanned the hospital with his spiritual sense, and found that there was nothing dangerous except for some mutated mice, a few mutated birds, and two mutated dogs, so he didn't follow.What's more, Yu Hui has learned martial arts from Liu Qingquan for so long, and he really should put it into practice, otherwise, if he turns around and runs away when encountering danger like before, it will be a bit of a loss.

After Yu Hui and Liu Qingquan got permission, suppressing the excitement in their hearts, they swiftly climbed over the locked iron gate of the hospital, held their weapons briskly, and cautiously walked towards the hospital building.The greening in the compound of the county hospital has always been done very well. Although there is still a lot of snow on the ground that has not yet melted, the courtyard is full of vitality and lush vegetation.It's just that the neatly trimmed and beautiful lawn and trees now seem to be more random and loose, growing as they please. Although the rich vitality can't be concealed, it gives people a sense of desolation and desolation, which makes people feel unreasonable. Somewhat bleak.

Yu Hui and Liu Qingquan shuttled among the lush weeds growing in the gaps between the bluestone slabs, and soon arrived in front of the main building of the county hospital.

"Is anyone there? Excuse me, is there anyone?" Seeing the silence all around, Yu Hui also felt a little trembling in his heart, so he couldn't help shouting with a trembling voice.

No one responded.Although it was expected, Yu Hui and Liu Qingquan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"What should I do? Do you want to go in?" Yu Hui carefully looked around and asked in a low voice.

"Go in, even if there is no one, we can get some commonly used medicines. If grandpa and the others have a headache in the future, we don't have to worry about it."

"Okay, anyway, there is no one, so if you don't take it for nothing." Although Yu Hui has received a full ten years of orthodox education, this guy still has a bit of evil in his bones. The owner's thing" does not ask for anything, and there is still no sense of guilt.

Liu Qingquan didn't say any more, and slashed at the crack of the door with a sword, and the so-called anti-theft door, which is highly respected by modern people, opened with a "click".Liu Qingquan looked at his own sword as if he was looking at his beloved baby, the corner of his mouth was slightly hooked, and he walked carefully into the hall.

"Ah Qing, be careful!" Yu Hui hadn't finished warning, his body had already reacted subconsciously, splitting a gray and fat mouse that looked like a cat in half with one knife.

Liu Qingquan wiped off the blood sprayed on his face with shaking hands, looked at the mutated mouse in front of him with lingering fear, and said dryly, "Thank you."

"Be careful, Binbin is not here now. I can protect you this time, but I may not be able to protect you next time. Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen are still counting on you to take care of you. No matter how careless you are, don't blame brother I'll go back and file a complaint!" Yu Hui was also terrified, gritted his teeth and cursed Liu Qingquan in a low voice, his hands didn't tremble as much as before.

"Well, I know." Liu Qingquan bit his lip shyly, pointed to the left direction and said in a low voice, "The pharmacy is not far ahead. I have accompanied my grandma before, so I can't miss it."

The two didn't say any more, holding weapons in their hands, they bowed cautiously and walked towards the corridor on the left side of the hall.I don't know if it was the bloody smell of the mutated mouse that Yu Hui just killed that deterred the other mutated mice, or the hospital's extermination work was excellent, and there was only that mutated mouse in the lobby on the first floor. Liu Qingquan and the two of them never met the mutant rat that suddenly jumped towards them again.After opening the door of the pharmacy, the two found several sacks. One was vigilant, and the other swiftly filled the sacks with the medicines in the medicine cabinet. After a while, four sacks were filled.The two of them were afraid that carrying too many sacks would hinder their movement, so they filled four sacks and stopped filling them. They quickly carried them out of the pharmacy, and ran out with the wind on their feet.

"Wang Wang, Wang Wang..."

"Hey..., woof..."

Yu Hui and Liu Qingquan had already run to the gate of the big iron gate, and only then did they throw the four sacks of medicine on their backs, when they heard a dog barking behind them that shook people's eardrums.The two secretly screamed in their hearts, and hurriedly climbed up the iron gate.Fortunately, both of them have good skills, like monkeys, they climbed to the top of the iron gate in two or three moves, and jumped down from the top of the iron gate before the two vicious mutant dogs jumped up and bit them behind them.

"Oh my god, let's go quickly, I think these two vicious dogs are going to break through the iron gate."

The group of people didn't dare to stay here any longer, they ran away with the sacks on their shoulders, and stopped panting until they felt that the distance was far enough.

"Ah Qing, are you injured?" Mr. Chen had noticed the blood on his grandson's face a long time ago, but it was just now that the situation was urgent, so it was delayed until now.

"No, grandpa, don't worry, we just met a mutant mouse, and the blood on my face is from that mutant mouse."

"That's good. You two children are really serious. If you see no one, come out quickly. How dangerous it is." The old village head reprimanded with lingering fear. If the two children had a good or bad relationship, he really didn't know what to do. Confess to Chen Laosan and the old couple!

"Yes, we knew we were wrong. Isn't it because our village health center is short of medicines? We saw no one, so we took some out, so we could save them and call them ineffective every day."

Seeing that the two children were for the sake of the villagers, the old village chief stopped talking, smiled and patted their shoulders, which were not yet thick enough, sighed, and led everyone to the county government.

The county government is not very far from the county hospital. Even though the road is bad now, the group only took nearly half an hour to reach the big iron gate of the county government.Unlike the "meticulousness" of the county hospital, the compound of the county government looks a bit miserable.The original mighty iron gate became rusty and collapsed on one side, and the yard was overgrown with weeds. It didn't look like someone was working.Learning from the previous lessons, the elders disagreed with the children's initiative to volunteer, and with unconcealable panic and disappointment on their faces, they dragged the children to go home.

"Old village chief, let's take the road at the intersection and go back. My children want to see their friends..."

"Success, let's go."

Everyone was a little silent along the way. After all, in the hearts of the common people, the government is always the biggest reliance, but now seeing that even the government compound has become a wasteland, everyone is at a loss in their hearts, and they are even more afraid of the hopeless future.

"Should we go together, or should Yu Hui and I go to explore first?"

"Both of you go to explore first, this is the walkie-talkie, put it away, and contact me when you see Leizi." Qin Bin took out the walkie-talkie he made before from the storage ring without any trace, using the cover of his pocket Give it to Liu Qingquan, "Don't worry, Da Zhuang and I are here, we will protect everyone."

Liu Qingquan and Yu Hui were naturally extremely at ease with Qin Bin. With Qin Bin around, they didn't have to worry about the safety of the elderly at all.The two nodded at everyone, then held their weapons and ran towards the neighborhood not far away.

After Yu Hui and Liu Qingquan walked away, Qin Bin led the crowd with sacks on their shoulders and moved to a cafe not far away where the glass door was smashed. After preparing to wait for the opportunity to attack the mutated rat, Qin Bin moved some clean chairs and called the four old people to sit down and rest.

"The two of them probably will take a while. Let's have something to eat first. We've been tired all afternoon."

"Eat, I'll have the strength to go home later." The old village chief sighed, took out a hard steamed bun from his bag, and gnawed on it sullenly.

"It's past five o'clock now, and it will be dark later. Shall we go back to the village overnight?"

"Let's take a look again. The lights are dark and the road is not easy to walk. If we can stay overnight, let's wait and go back at dawn tomorrow."

A few people gnawed on steamed buns dully, chatted casually, looked at the empty street outside the glass door from time to time, and they didn't know what they were expecting.
