Chapter 195 Blackbird
Chen Ke and Sam carried the M14 and moved forward carefully in the empty hospital square.
The range of the spiritual vision was large, but the area of the hospital was even larger, so Chen Ke could not figure out the situation in the hospital at once.
Chen Ke was very conflicted now. On the one hand, he also hoped to keep a low profile, go in and out quickly, and take the necessary medical supplies and leave.
But at the same time, he also hoped to really encounter some monsters, even if he did not fight, he could absorb some murderous aura to prolong his life.
Sam's movements were professional and fast. He rushed in front and quickly crossed the empty square and came to the glass door of the main building of the hospital.
In his opinion, although Chen Ke's performance was calmer than that of ordinary survivors, he was just an ordinary person with good psychological quality who had not received professional training.
When Ying Baiyi was present, Sam had no room to show off, but when he was with Chen Ke, he claimed to be the strongest fighter and naturally took on the responsibility of exploring the way forward.
There was nothing within the fifth floor of the building, at least in Chen Ke's opinion, but he did not guarantee whether the range beyond the fifth floor was safe or not.
Chen Ke has never worked in a hospital and rarely goes to a hospital, but he has heard from a friend who works as a nurse in a hospital that the pharmacy in the hospital is divided into Chinese pharmacy and Western pharmacy, and there are people on duty 24 hours a day. In addition, some large hospitals have more than one pharmacy, but they are generally on the second or first floor.
Hospitals in Western countries definitely do not have Chinese pharmacies, but the specific locations should be similar. At least no hospital will set up a pharmacy on a high floor of more than ten floors.
The two strolled around the first floor and saw only a bunch of blue empty boxes in some temporary storage rooms. Chen Ke picked it up and took a look. It was a packaging box for some kind of rapid injection, either a closed needle or an analgesic.
He also found that the waiting hall of the hospital was full of red dust, the same as what he saw outside.
These red dusts made Chen Ke unable to stop thinking wildly.
First of all, the source of the red ash. Unless there are a large number of red rock layers in the geological environment or surrounding areas of Xiaoyao City, it is impossible to produce such a huge amount of red dust.
These dusts have a distinct granular feel when pinched in the hand. If you feel them carefully, you will find that they are not ordinary stones, but something close to bones.
Secondly, even if we don't consider the origin of the red dust, how did they float into the building? And the way they are scattered is not as simple as being blown in by the wind from the entrance and exit...
It's as if someone deliberately sprinkled a handful in a specific location...
Sam never considers such questions, so every time Chen Ke goes to study the red dust on the ground, he reminds Chen Ke that it is getting dark.
Through the skylight in the hall, the sky has slowly turned from blue to dark blue, and the sky in the west is red. Chen Ke forced himself to restrain his curiosity. After all, he didn't come here to solve the mystery.
They explored the corridor on the second floor, gradually going deeper into the center of the building, and finally found the pharmacy in the west corridor of the building.
Sam is a rough man. After he found that the door was locked, he looked around and kicked it open. The quiet hospital suddenly made a loud bang, which made people feel creepy.
Chen Ke followed Sam into the pharmacy and searched the medicine cabinets.
Diana needed an arm bag to fix her arm, and some painkillers. The survivors all had some skin injuries, so they also needed some anti-inflammatory drugs, trauma sprays and bandages.
It was unrealistic to properly treat the wounds here. After all, there were no professional medical personnel. They only wanted to temporarily relieve the pain and keep the wounds clean and stop bleeding.
Chen Ke rummaged around in the cabinets and found a bunch of small white bottles filled with aspirin tablets. The small white bottles were very small, and one hand could hold three bottles. It was estimated that there were only about 20 to 30 tablets in them. He grabbed a handful and put them into the empty bag he carried with him.
Sam did the same. He pulled out a whole pack of unopened bandage rolls and gauze from another cabinet, and then followed the clues to find more, and stuffed them all into the bag without thinking.
In addition to aspirin and bandages, they also found a lot of anti-inflammatory tablets, but because no one knew how to use a syringe, the more effective anti-inflammatory injections were not ignored.
At the same time, Chen Ke also got three large bottles of glucose solution, which can be injected or drunk, can replenish heat energy, and can be taken by some survivors with serious injuries.
Unfortunately, Chen Ke did not find an arm bag and spray and purple medicine for treating external injuries. It seems that Diana can only make do with a knot with bandages.
Filled the three portable bags, took out the mobile phone from Chen Ke, 6:24 pm, less than half an hour before dark, it was dark outside, the sky was no longer blue, but turned into a dark blue close to black, it was time to leave.
The two evacuated the hospital building and were surprised to find that the name was a dead city, but the street lights suddenly lit up, as if they were silent service providers, still silently providing services to the residents who had disappeared.
"We have to hurry up, it's dark, who knows what will appear." Chen Ke urged, running forward with two bags on his back.
Sam followed closely behind, amazed at Chen Ke's endurance, but at the same time he kept up with him. The two avoided the crowded streets and walked along the sidewalk.
Because they were already outside and didn't want to waste their life, Chen Ke didn't use his clairvoyance skills anymore. He couldn't help but secretly compare this place with the Kingdom of Vanhede.
The same silent city and dusty ground, are there any connections between these two places?
No, it's impossible. The ashes of Vanhede can be transformed into zombie soldiers, and the mortal world here is really just mortal world...
But from the point of view of time, if Vanhede is the lost history of mankind, then what is this place? Is it the destined future of mankind?
"Bang!"
Chen Ke suddenly felt that he was loaded with something, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Chen Ke! What's going on?!" Sam, who had already run to the front, heard the sound and immediately turned back. Seeing Chen Ke lying on the ground, he rushed to his side.
Sam grabbed the bag on Chen Ke's back with one hand and dragged him to the back of the car. With one hand, he held up the M14 and looked around.
"It's okay... It's okay... I was thinking about something just now, I didn't look at the road, and I crashed into the car." Chen Ke said embarrassedly, got up on the spot, and patted the red ash on his body.
"Fuck, what a waste of my expression! Let's go, it's already dark, I'm panicking now, I always feel like something is going to come out..." Sam shook his head and whispered.
"I feel the same way... Sam." Chen Ke said as he followed Sam and ran forward.
"I've never been so scared, Chen Ke, I've never been like this... I participated in the Ileko War, did I tell you..." Sam said.
"The war in 2001? How old were you then?" Chen Ke was a little surprised.
"I was 28 years old at the time, damn, that was my first time on the battlefield, the first time I pulled the trigger to kill someone, I had only shot targets and bottles before..." Sam's voice trembled a little.
When people are in crisis, they begin to recall their past and become talkative, their voices are unclear and trembling, which is a sign that their minds are beginning to become distracted.
"Focus, Sam... Stop talking, run forward, forward, don't look back." Chen Ke grabbed Sam's arm and found that it felt very cold.
Something strange is coming, Chen Ke knew, he knew it from the beginning.
Because in his vision, life spans are increasing and decreasing madly.
The last second, it was increasing at a rate of 50 minutes per second, and the next second, it was decreasing at a rate of 20 minutes per second.
There was a large murderous aura behind them, accompanied by rational attacks.
But these were just precursors to a greater crisis...
Chen Ke looked back at the completely dark night sky, and a large group of black birds came with the distant sound of flapping wings.
No, they were not birds... In Chen Ke's vision, their red outlines had human hands and feet!
