Early the next morning, in an abandoned residential house in the eastern suburbs of Zhengzhou City.
Uncovering the "bandage" on Liu Chang's face, Dr. Huang looked at the "face" that was bloody and boneless inside, and said helplessly, "I can't heal your injury!"
"I can't do hers either." Dr. Huang said, pointing to the hooked-nosed female officer who was tied up in the corner of the room. Half of your facial bones are shattered, I can't heal this!"
"It's fine if you can't do it, it's fine if you can't die." Rewrapping the bandage on his face, Liu Chang said, "Sorry, I stole you out of the community in the middle of the night."
"It's okay, it's just that you showed up covered in blood last night, picked me up and left without saying a word, which really shocked me." Huang Yin said, "But how much trouble did you guys cause? A lot of troops have come, so many troops have not caught you?"
"It's just a lucky escape, then no, that female officer who was tied up is their leader." Liu Chang pointed to He Zhizhi, and then asked: "Will the wound on my face be life-threatening if it drags on?"
"I don't know, I have never treated such a serious injury." Dr. Huang said, "It all depends on your physique. I can give you simple medical treatment, and there is nothing else I can do. Especially yours." As for the appearance of the face, I guess I can’t help you restore it, the bones are gone, and if it’s an operation, I can’t do such a major operation.”
"Well, I got it, it's okay." Liu Chang touched his cheek, and he laughed at himself: "Anyway, he's not very handsome in the first place, and wearing a bandage now will make it less scary. Don't you think so, He Zhizhi?"
As he spoke, Liu Chang turned his head to look at the female officer tied up in the corner.
"Why tie me up? I've said it all. I won't go back. If you do this, how can we continue our cooperation?" The hooked-nosed female officer struggled on the ground, "And treat a seriously wounded man like this , is there still humanity?"
"Ms. Li said that such a complicated thing about human nature is beyond ordinary people's thinking, and in my opinion, it is the best embodiment of human nature that I tie you up." Liu Chang walked up to the female officer as he spoke: " Because I don't trust you yet."
"Time will prove my innocence." The female officer smiled without any excuse.
"Okay then, I'll ask you a few questions, and I'll untie the rope for you if you answer well." Liu Chang said, squatting in front of the female officer, and stretched out his fingers, "First, I'll let you grab the rope." Is mine Zhao Zhuo?"
"Yes, there is no doubt that he even gave an order to catch the alive." He Zhizhi nodded.
"Okay. The second question, how many people with your ability to arrest are there in the army?" When Liu Chang asked this question, his expression became more serious.
"There are two more, one is an olfactory tracker like me, but the degree of mutation is not as high as mine, and the sensitivity of olfactory cells is not as high as mine. The other is the second research group, which is a kind of human from the biological weapons research group. Brain mutants, he has very powerful analytical and reasoning abilities. Even if you left a footprint on the ground more than ten days ago, he can use his powerful reasoning and analysis capabilities to track all the way based on the footprint and the surrounding conditions. Finally lock your position. But that person has a high status, it seems that his status in the second group is no less than that of Li Qingshui in the first group, so Zhao Zhuo may not be able to dispatch him." He Zhizhi said.
"Then can you distinguish the smells of these two people?"
"Yes, I have seen these two people, and I remember the smell on them."
"That means." Liu Chang untied the rope from He Zhizhi's body, "With you here, I don't have to worry about being hunted down anymore?"
"Yes, you can say that. Needless to say, that sense of smell is not as good as mine. Even if the reasoning expert really comes, I can smell his body in advance. Don't worry about that."
"Okay, one last question." Liu Chang's expression became more serious, "How is Li Qingshui with the army recently?"
"I don't know about the high-level affairs, but I feel that he and Zhao Zhuo are very close. The combination of the two of them makes it impossible for other research groups to shake. The two highest levels of the army, and the government's The highest level on the side is very important to them, it should be regarded as a success!"
"That's good, that's good." Liu Chang nodded and turned around.
And He Zhizhi stood up from the ground when he finished asking his question, raised his bandaged upper arm and asked, "Doctor, my injury won't kill me, right?"
"Probably not. After all, the vitality of human beings is not comparable to what it used to be." Dr. Huang said, "But it is impossible to grow arms."
"Hey, that's disability?" He Zhizhi looked at his missing forearm, and his tone sounded very helpless, and also sad with a strong sense of regret.
"Don't think so much, do you think it's better to have no face, or is it better to lose an arm?" Liu Chang pointed to his face with only one eye exposed and said, "I'm probably even fucking uglier than the devil Fred now. It's not thanks to you!"
"Uh..." He Zhizhi looked at Liu Chang's face with a slightly relaxed expression. Human suffering is always compared. When you see others suffering more than yourself, you will feel surprisingly better.
And just like that, in this strange atmosphere, a small group merged together with their own ghosts.
One is a former informer, and the other is a former enemy. In the apocalypse, it seems that all kinds of hatred in the past will not be remembered forever. As long as you can live, the enemy in the previous second may become the enemy in the next second. become partners.
three days later.
In a community association, it's time to distribute food again. Liu Chang and the others have been hiding here for two days, and his job in this new community is the guard.
In the evening, the little girl walked to his side after bringing her and Liu Chang's food for the day.
"Brother, is your face better?" The girl said, putting some beans in front of him.
"It's better, at least the swelling has subsided, but it's just pain, and there's no other feeling other than pain." Liu Chang touched his cheek through the bandage and said, "He Zhizhi, keep an eye on her, don't let her Ran."
"Well, I know." The little girl sat beside Liu Chang, "Don't worry, she is always in my perception area, if she is more than 50 meters away from me, I will report to you as soon as possible."
"That's fine. Within fifty meters, I am confident that she will not escape." Liu Chang nodded, and after resting for a while, he saw Huang Yin and He Zhizhi walking over with a small bowl.
"Officer He." Seeing the hook-nosed female officer approaching him, Liu Chang grinned, but no one could see his terrifying smile hidden behind the bandage, "Please exchange some of these beans for me." Ordinary food, even if the amount is small, as long as someone in the community is willing to exchange it for you, you can change it for me!"
"You still don't want to eat Liangdou?" He Zhizhi said, and swallowed his portion in one gulp.
"Don't eat."
"Then what did you eat before?"
"Little bug, but I lost my worm box on the first day you hunted me." Liu Chang said, "Do you still remember the girl in the room on the first day you caught me? She probably took it away. The bug It's pretty good, Li Qingshui said it's very nutritious, I was wondering if I should go find that girl in the next two days and get the worm back."
"Come back, let me try something new, I still remember the smell of that girl, it's not difficult to find her." He Zhizhi waved his broken arm and said: "Find her, bugs count as half of me."
"Okay!" Liu Chang nodded and looked at He Zhizhi's broken arm and said, "Why do you always like to wave your broken arm these two days?"
"Didn't you like to touch your own face all the time these two days." He Zhizhi said helplessly: "It's human nature to pay special attention to whichever part is missing."
"That's right." Liu Chang touched his face again while talking, and the limp feeling from there made him feel very uncomfortable. He misses his previous face very much these two days. Although it is not handsome, it is still angular and has neat facial features, but now half of the bones inside are missing. If it is not for the bandages, it is estimated that half of it will slump immediately. , are more terrifying than ghosts and monsters.
He remembered that when the few of them first came to this community, others almost didn't accept him when they saw his bandaged face, and strangers would not take the initiative to talk to him these two days, and they were discriminated against.
"Brother, don't worry, there will be a solution in the future." Seeing Liu Chang's sudden silence, the little girl next to him seemed to see through his thoughts, and hurriedly comforted him: "When Teacher Li Qingshui calms down, We can go back and look for him. He is so smart, it will be very simple to do a recovery operation for you. This kind of thing is much simpler than the life sciences he studies all day. Maybe he can turn my brother into a handsome guy gone?"
"Hahaha..." After hearing what the little girl said, Liu Chang suddenly laughed, "You don't need a handsome guy, just return to your previous appearance."
"Actually, I can't recover. My brother is also very handsome." The little girl continued to comfort him.
"Ouch!" After hearing what the two said, He Zhizhi interrupted their conversation with a strong exclamation. She wrinkled her aquiline nose and said, "I'm so disgusted, your dialogue is like a Korean romance TV series." Ah, and the age gap is like a Japanese ghost movie, it's really disgusting to Mr. He."
"Oh? Lord He?" Liu Chang looked at her with one eye, "I don't feel anything disgusting. People who have ghosts in their minds look like ghosts. Also, Master He Guigeng?"
"Twenty to six." He Zhizhi replied, then thought for a while, and added: "Not yet married."
