Chapter 6
"I saw Wu Zhuo being dragged and rushed out. The other party had a sniper, and I was shot at that time. Later, I searched the building, but there was nothing." Chen Xin's expression was slumped. , "I shouldn't have let him out then."
Lu Ze was silent for a second: "I can't blame you."
"Captain, and... I found this—" Chen Xin took out a brass bullet from his pocket.
Lu Ze took it from his hand and pinched it between the thumb and index finger of his right hand—although the light coming in through the dirty glass was blurry, it was enough for people to see the standard of the warhead.
"Captain, this is not us..."
Lu Ze's pupils shrank, and he pressed Chen Xin's shoulder to signal him not to speak any more, then he turned his wrist and hid the bullet in his palm: "Don't think so much, take a good rest first."
Chen Xin was hesitant to speak at first, but after seeing the look in his eyes, he closed his mouth tightly and leaned back on the back of the sofa chair.
The sky dimmed quickly, the sound of the rain outside was getting louder, and the surroundings were quiet, except for the crackling sound of raindrops falling on the roof along the road, only the sound of Chen Xin's suppressed and rapid breathing.
Lu Ze sat quietly on the side of the sofa, his jawline was so tight that he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly under the dim light.
"Your antibiotics seem to be working." A voice came from behind him abruptly.
Lu Ze looked back and saw Ghost standing at the entrance of the stairs with his arms folded at some point. The mask on his face was still not taken off, so he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.
The white wolf did not follow him.
Lu Ze didn't answer immediately, and after a few seconds paused, he asked, "How's your white wolf's injury?"
Ghost smiled lightly: "It's easy to talk to smart people. I wonder if Team Lu is interested in making a deal?"
There was no surprise on Lu Ze's face. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch: 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
The sky outside was already very dark, and under the semi-darkness, he reached out from his close-fitting pocket and took out a transparent glass bottle that was only as long as a knuckle.
Ghost's eyes moved imperceptibly behind the mask, without making a sound, quietly waiting for Lu Ze to speak.
"This is an antibiotic developed by the base against this virus. It is still in the third phase of the trial. Before we set off, each of us was equipped with one. It has not undergone any human clinical trials. In other words, no one knows whether it is effective , and what are its side effects." Lu Ze turned to Ghost with a deep voice, "Why are you so sure that this thing is useful?"
Ghost didn't answer, he took a few steps forward, came to a position a few meters in front of Lu Ze, and looked down at him: "Tomorrow at dawn, I can take Xiaobai to send you out of the city, to ensure that you can walk out of the old city alive." 30 kilometers away."
Lu Ze raised his head slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up, but the depths of his eyes were cold, he shook his finger: "You are wrong, I don't want to leave here. I can give you this bottle of antibiotics, let You go to save your 'companion'. In exchange, my condition is - you, take me, and find my team members."
Ghost stagnated, and Lu Ze could almost imagine the frown behind his mask.
"One of my team members was captured by those things. I think you should know what those things are better than me. Of course, I only need you to lead the way, and you can leave when you get there. I think this deal is a good deal." Lu Cho's voice was faint.
"Captain—" Chen Xin woke up at some point, just hearing Lu Ze's words, struggled to half sit up, and grabbed Lu Ze's arm.
Lu Ze seemed to know what he wanted to say, looked back at him, then turned to Ghost and waited for his answer.
After a few seconds, Ghost stretched out his hand: "Deal."
Without further ado, Lu Ze handed over the glass bottle.
"Captain!" Chen Xin's voice was a little anxious: "When that thing is critical...in case..."
Lu Ze held him down and stretched out his hand to Ghost: "Have a nice cooperation."
Ghost stared at him for a second, this time also extended his hand to shake him briefly, turned around and walked up to the second floor without looking back.
Seeing that the matter was irreversible, Chen Xin wanted to stand up when he sat up: "I'll go with you."
Lu Ze looked at him with a bit of cold eyes, and lowered his voice a little: "Chen Xin!"
"I..." Chen Xin wanted to say something, his eyes flickered, as if he suddenly thought of something, his voice dropped.
Lu Ze nodded: "You will leave the city tomorrow after your condition improves. I still can't contact Guanqi and Lulian. I'm not at ease."
Chen Xin glanced in the direction of the second floor, his expression still a little hesitant: "But that bottle of antibiotics... Senior Colonel Tang clearly told you before, maybe it can save lives at critical times..."
Lu Ze sighed, and snorted on his head: "Have you got a fever, are you stupid? Since Colonel Tang is not sure about the efficacy of this thing, why should I treat it as a treasure? Besides, time is the most precious thing in this kind of time." Things, go one step earlier, maybe..."
He did not go on.
Chen Xin understood what he meant, and his expression became a little disheartened: "I see."
Lu Ze seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and his voice became more serious: "Chen Xin, it's not your fault that Wu Zhuo was taken away. You have carried out so many missions with me. I don't need to explain some reasons. Now you have to do The most important thing is to concentrate on resting, go out to the meeting point before going out of the city tomorrow, and confirm the safety of watching chess and deer titles."
Chen Xin was silent for a second, then said in a low voice: "Got it."
Lu Ze sighed: "Guanqi is too young, and Lu Lian's temper is unstable. I feel relieved after you go back. Judging from the current situation, the situation in the old city is far more complicated than we originally estimated. I will first find a way to get Wu Zhuo brought it out, and we'll talk about the rest once we've assembled."
Chen Xin nodded.
After a long silence, Lu Ze spoke again, this time lowering his voice a little: "Chen Xin, do you still remember that you are the deputy team?"
Chen Xin suddenly raised his head. At this time, the sky was darker than before, and the skylight through the dirty glass could barely see some blurred outlines. There was no unnecessary expression on Lu Ze's face, and even his eyes were only indifferent. His eyes were surprisingly bright in the darkness.
"What do you mean?" He spoke word by word, very slowly.
Lu Ze smiled lightly: "I won't pretend in front of you, you and I both know the current situation, if Wu Zhuo and I can't get out, you take them back."
Chen Xin pursed her lips and did not answer.
Lu Ze didn't say any more, stretched his legs and leaned on the sofa opposite Chen Xin: "I'll squint for a while, call me in half an hour."
Lu Ze woke up in an unnatural silence. The moment he opened his eyes, he felt a layer of cold sweat on his back, and he almost jumped up from the sofa.
Chen Xin on the opposite side was taken aback by him, and raised Wei Chong in his arms: "What's wrong?"
Lu Ze was stunned for a second before realizing the current situation. He sat down on the sofa again, arched his back and rubbed his face, feeling a little funny for a while: "It's nothing, it might have been a nightmare."
Chen Xin raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.
"what time is it?"
"It's just after twelve o'clock."
Lu Ze looked out the window, the rain had stopped, and the setting sun was hanging slantingly in the sky, casting a layer of blood-like light over the former city through the thin clouds.
"It's getting dark, I suggest you don't stay on the first floor." Ghost's voice came from above.
Lu Ze looked up, and saw the man leaning against a lamppost on the second floor, and the white wolf leaning against his feet, looking up at them at the moment.
Lu Ze grinned at him and raised his hand: "Thank you."
The space on the second floor was a bit cramped compared to the downstairs, so Ghost pushed all the chairs and tables aside to clear a space in front of the sofa against the wall.
Lu Ze helped Chen Xin to sit down on the sofa: "How does the wound feel?"
Chen Xin moved his injured arm: "It's not that delicate, I don't think it's infected."
"He hasn't had a fever so far, at least he's safe at this stage." Ghost's voice cut in.
Lu Ze looked at him with some interest: "Are you a doctor?"
Ghost didn't answer, and the whole space fell into silence, and the white wolf's low grunt could be heard occasionally.
Chen Xin fell asleep not long after, and Lu Ze sat on the ground leaning on the sofa, subconsciously playing with the slender knife that he "paid" from Ghost during the day.
Seeing the sky darken little by little, the light projected on the floor of the first floor receded little by little, and finally withdrew from this temporary territory. In less than ten minutes, the whole space had already plunged into gloomy darkness.
The weather was not completely cleared, and the night outside was not clear. In addition, they used a few tables and chairs on the first floor to prop up the gate, and everything was only a dark outline.
Time passed slowly in this dark silence, and Lu Ze could almost feel his breathing being stretched bit by bit in this slowness.
——Suddenly, his ears caught a subtle movement, the movement of his fingers paused, and in the next second, Wei Chong had been silently brought into his hand.
Just moved two steps forward, he only felt the body of the gun sinking, and Ghost's low voice came from beside his ear: "Don't move."
In the dark, he could see the other person's eyes clearly. Ghost took off his mask at some point. Lu Ze felt that those eyes carried an unquestionable calmness in the surrounding darkness. After pondering for half a second, he lowered his gun mouth.
"Shhh—" Seeing him let go, Ghost raised his index finger to his lips in a silent gesture.
The next moment, the movement outside suddenly became louder: it was the sound of chaotic footsteps, mixed with intermittent roars and whimpers, approaching step by step from the other side of the street.
Lu Ze turned his head and glanced at Chen Xin who was on the sofa, probably because of the effect of antibiotics, he didn't wake up.
As soon as he turned his head, Ghost's hand was already on his neck: "Low your head."
The two were almost kneeling on the ground, looking out from upstairs through the gap between the railing and the tables and chairs——
But in just half a minute, the streets outside were already covered with infected bodies. Most of these creatures were ragged, and the exposed rotting and festering skin could still be seen clearly in the dim and blurry night.They dragged their heavy steps, and whimpered like roars, they could be said to be moving in a certain direction in an orderly manner.
Corpses.
Lu Ze was silent for a second: "I can't blame you."
"Captain, and... I found this—" Chen Xin took out a brass bullet from his pocket.
Lu Ze took it from his hand and pinched it between the thumb and index finger of his right hand—although the light coming in through the dirty glass was blurry, it was enough for people to see the standard of the warhead.
