But now Hana doesn't want anyone who has the ability to slaughter the city. Imagining her going to slaughter the city is the same as imagining the honorable slaughter of the city.
Xiaomei looked at her face reflected in the glass window: the little robot with sky blue eyes had a stiff face.
Then he slowly retracted his gaze.
Leaving the pharmacopoeia, he went straight downstairs to check the other books needed to make a strong nutrient solution.
The civilization of this city has been lost for a long time. Now he has deciphered 80% of the ingredients of the powerful nutrient solution left by Hana's father. In addition to observing the operation of Hana's father, he has also learned seven of the other's techniques. Seven or eight, but in order to increase the success rate, he felt that he had to read all the books in this library.
He doesn't take anyone lightly because he never underestimates history.
He wants to make the strong nutrient solution as soon as possible.
She took a number of books from the bookshelf one after another, and when one of the books was pulled out of the bookshelf, Xiaomei saw a stiff blue-black face exposed between the gaps.
The sky-blue eyes were facing the other's dilated pupils, Xiaomei took the book away without any pause.
The first zombie was found, and Xiaomei quickly saw the second.
In the quiet library, there were suddenly some long footsteps. These footsteps were covered by the sound of rain. Now, the sound of the rain has become less and become more obvious.
Unconsciously, there were many zombies among the bookshelves. They were either standing or walking slowly between the bookshelves.
Xiaomei even saw a zombie sorting the bookshelf very slowly.
It was a very terrifying looking zombie. His clothes were tattered and his body was tattered. His face seemed to have suffered an accident. His blood was blurred. In the original position, the whole person looks terrible!
His hand was also broken, and he used the broken hand to organize the bookshelf.
"Don't be afraid, child, they are just poor people." The old man's voice suddenly broke the eerie space where there was only the sound of rain and footsteps. Xiaomei looked to the side, only to find that the librarian was next door, standing next to the two zombies. Next to the old man was a small trailer—the kind commonly used by library staff. Looking at the bookshelf, he was putting the trailer on put the books back in their place one by one.
"My relatives will bury them here and don't care anymore. It's raining heavily outside, and it's easy to be driven away no matter where they go. They just came here to hide from the rain."
"Look... It's raining so hard outside. Recently it's the season when herbs need intensive irrigation..." The old man said, holding a book and squinting for a moment, then stuffed it into the corresponding position.
"Most of them came here to hide from the rain, but there are also those who like the library." Putting the last book in place, the old man finally turned his face to Xiaomei, blinked his eyes, and stretched out his hand inconspicuously, covered with wrinkles and The fingers of age spots pointed to the side in several directions:
"He, she...and he...these three come every day."
"The last one is my former colleague. He was involved in a car accident when he went out to play half a year ago. The body was sent back to be buried in the cemetery that he had bought for himself before, but three days later..."
"He's reappearing in the library."
"When it first appeared, I was terrified... But after all, we are old buddies, even if he was smashed, I still recognized him, he was just working as usual, not doing anything else. "
"I just remembered that he should have taken the elixir before."
"Yes, such a powerful medicine was invented, and almost all people in the entire city of Cicero ate it. It's fine now, but after death..."
"Do you think we people in Cicero City are less afraid of zombies?"
"Because each of us may become like this in the future..."
"Like me, I ate it too."
When the old man said this, he paused for a while, looked at Xiaomei again, and smiled kindly:
"Don't be nervous, it's nothing, even if I become an undead person, even if I climb out, I will probably come back to sort out the library, and then read the books. This is how everyday life is, there is nothing else."
After finishing speaking, his finger like dead wood pointed to a corner downstairs: "Young man, go read a book there. It's the quietest there, and the light bulbs are still replaced."
Xiaomei glanced at him, nodded, picked up the book she picked, and walked downstairs.
And when he was reading in that position, a few seats in front of him also sat down... Zombies. The old man, on the other hand, continued to drag the trailer and walked between the bookshelves.
When the rain stopped completely, Xiaomei just finished reading the last book. When he looked up this time, he found that all the zombies in front were gone.
The rain stopped and they left.
"Goodbye." When leaving, Xiaomei rarely said goodbye to the old man.
Waving his hand towards him with a smile, the old man immediately pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued to read the book in his hand.
In the quaint and chic library, with five floors of bookshelves and warm orange lights as the background, the scene of the old man huddled in a corner to read quietly fell into Xiaomei's eyes.
Looking back, he walked away.
The delay in the library was a bit long. When he returned to Hana's shop by car, it was late. Ronggui and Hana had already sent Hana's father back and waited for him to go back together.
"After searching for a day, I finally found the kind of heart medicine that Dad made! And—"
"It's not expired yet!" Sitting in the back seat, the little girl leaned forward and spoke lightly. She introduced her and Ronggui's day to Xiaomei: these two people did nothing for a day, just in Drugs are found in the warehouse.
The warehouse is now 80% in a mess, and the warehouse has to be reorganized tomorrow—Xiaomei thought, took the medicine bottle handed over by the little girl, took out a pill, twisted the index finger of her right hand, exposed a needle inside and quickly punctured it, he In a flat voice: "The drug ingredients are active and can be used."
"Huh... That's great!" Hana felt relieved after hearing Xiaomei's words.
Then she carefully put the medicine bottle in the small pocket on her chest ← Ronggui sewed it for her, the corners of her mouth were wide, and she began to look forward to going home and giving the medicine to Mrs. Zola.
Looking at Hana's face indistinctly through the rear mirror, the little girl's apple had a smug smile on her face that she couldn't hide, and she was humming a little song that Ronggui probably taught her. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone who can do such a big thing as "slaughter the city".
But-
Rhubarb drove back to the alley where Mrs. Zola's house was, parked in the usual parking space, and Rhubarb automatically turned off the fire.
Rong Gui climbed out of the car and, together with Hana, helped Da Huang pick up the sheets and pants that fell on the roof of the car.
"Hana, we can't dry our panties and sheets like they do in the future. Even if we have to dry them, we have to use clips. These things are used by rough gentlemen. ." While picking it up, Ronggui said to Hana.
Hana nodded in agreement, and then took over the big trousers that Ronggui handed over one by one.
Xiaomei didn't participate in the two of them picking up their pants, standing in front of Da Huang's car door, facing Mrs. Zola's house, Xiaomei's eyes flashed slightly with blue light.
No, something is wrong.
"Hey? Is Mrs. Zora not here? Why is the light in the room dark?" Ronggui has already shouted out the wrong place.
After the incident that Ronggui stepped on a floor and collapsed because the lights were not turned on on the first day, Mrs. Zola had a habit of leaving lights for them every night. To this end, Ronggui also asked Xiaomei to replace all the broken light bulbs in the house.
From then on, when they came home every day, they were greeted by warm lights, and Mrs. Zorah sitting in the rocking chair.
One step ahead, Ronggui had already taken out the key to open the door. Hana followed him closely. Seeing the two rushed in in a hurry, Xiaomei quickly followed in their footsteps.
"Mrs. Zola, are you... ah!" Ronggui shouted along with the sound of the china being smashed.
Ronggui and Hana were so panicked that they rushed forward without thinking, while Xiaomei reached out and slapped the light switch on the wall while they screamed.
While the living room was brightly lit, the three of them could clearly see what the hall on the first floor looked like at this moment.
What Ronggui had just stepped on was a porcelain plate, not empty, it was the porcelain plate that Mrs. Zorah usually used for cooking. A thick red slurries...
The meal was overturned.
And in front of the overturned china plate, is Mrs. Zora who fell face down on the carpet.
"Oh my God!" Rong Gui hurried over.
"Don't flip her first." What stopped Ronggui was Xiaomei's cold voice.
Ronggui and Hana immediately did not dare to move.
Squatting beside Mrs. Zora, Xiaomei slowly turned her body over after testing her physical signs. He first tapped Mrs. Zora's heart rhythmically with his fists, paying attention to each other while tapping. heart condition.
"It's a heart attack." With first aid in hand, Xiaomei also took the time to say to the two people beside her who were obviously flustered.
Maybe Xiaomei's performance is too calm, the key is that he usually behaves too versatile, whether it is Ronggui or Xiaohana, driven by Xiaomei, the two of them finally regained their composure.
Xiaomei observed Mrs. Zola below, and saw that she was holding a phone and an open medicine bottle under her body. The medicine bottle should be empty, and not a single medicine fell out when she fell on the ground. What she said should be caused by the fact that her usual medicines were gone, and the new medicines were not delivered in time.
"Take out the medicine you brought Mrs. Zola, pour three pills, one in five seconds, and put them in one by one."
Continuing to do the heart-lifting movement in her hands, Xiaomei methodically said to Hana, who had a pale face next to her.
Nodding vigorously, Hana quickly took out the medicine bottle from her pocket and poured three medicines carefully. Ronggui helped her count the time. The little girl nervously opened Mrs. Zorah's mouth and stuffed a pill every time Ronggui reported "five".
I don't know if it was Xiaomei's heart-lifting emergency action or Hana's father's heart disease medicine. Finally, after a minute, Xiaomei said softly, "Okay."
Mrs. Zorah's heart finally resumed beating again, and Xiaomei let her lie quietly on the carpet. A few minutes later, when the old man's blue-white face finally showed a touch of ruddy, Xiaomei asked Hana to put a pill into it again. into the mouth of the old man.
"I'm..." Mrs. Zora woke up faintly.
Noticing the old man's chapped lips, Rong Gui hurriedly took a glass of water from the side and asked Xiaomei with his eyes. After Xiaomei nodded and replied, he carefully handed the water glass to the old man's mouth.
Taking a sip of water to dilute the bitter taste of the pills in his mouth, the old man's complexion became better again.
"You have a heart attack." Xiaomei answered his question.
After being stunned for a moment, the old man sighed slowly.
"Mrs. Zora, do you want to take another medicine?" Always feeling that the old man wasn't fully recovered, Hana quickly handed over the medicine bottle.
"This is a special medicine for heart disease made by Hana's father. Hana felt that your face was very bad this morning. I was looking for medicine for a day today. I happened to use it when I came back!" Ronggui explained on the side.
"No~ it's Xiaomei. Xiaomei knows everything, and she knows first aid. She also knows how to take a few pills, one in a few seconds. By the way, Xiaomei Xiaomei, do you want Mrs. Zola to take another pill?" Hana The eyes of help drifted to Xiaomei again.
"No need, these medicines are already very effective, her heart is very weak, and the deficiency cannot be compensated. It is one aspect to use strong medicine to restore her heart to beat, but if she continues to increase the medicine, she will suffer from it. don't stop."
"The next one a day, you can't eat more."
It was also that one of the books he read today was an introduction to heart disease. That book happened to be written by Hana's father, which is why Xiaomei knew so much about his medicine for heart disease.
The powerful heart medicine played its due role in the body, and after a while, Mrs. Zora finally stabilized, and everything before fainting slowly returned to her mind, and suddenly—
The old woman's face turned pale again! The next second, she was struggling to get up!
"Hey!" Hana and Ronggui were both frightened by her like this. Just when Hana was in a panic and took out another medicine, Xiaomei pressed Mrs. Zorah's shoulder.
"What's wrong?" His voice was as cold as ever.
"The big man! The big man is out!" Mrs. Zora's voice was completely different from the usual aloofness. The old man's voice was flustered, and his fingers desperately pointed to the direction outside the door.
"When I got sick, the big man hadn't left yet. He rushed out immediately when he saw that I was sick. He... can't let him go out!" The blue veins on his forehead popped out, and the old man held Ronggui and Hana's hands tightly, As if trying to stand up, she looked around for help.
She is really in a hurry!
"Big man, is that Mr. Gardener?" Ronggui is still the most inspirational. During this time, he climbed the wall to greet each other when he was free, and sent each other a flower from time to time. Ronggui thought he had a good relationship with each other.
The guy was tall, so Mrs. Zora occasionally called him "big man".
Nobody knows his name.
Until this time, Ronggui didn't feel that something was wrong.
until-
Suddenly there was the sound of thumping footsteps outside.
Very heavy, very slow footsteps, accompanied by a ticking sound.
A strong man with a tower-like appearance appeared outside the door.
Still wearing a huge and heavy cloak - Ronggui only learned when chatting later that this cloak was sewn for him by Mrs. Zora.
However, the cloak was no longer as complete as it was before, as if it had been torn by force. Above the cloak, where the head was covered...
spread out.
The face of the other party, which had been hidden under the cloak, was finally revealed.
It was a terrifying face: half the face was completely rotten, the teeth were all exposed, and an eyeball was missing...
That's the face of a zombie!
The blood that originally belonged to him has long dried up and no longer flows, but at this moment, the face and cloak of this zombie are full of blood!
Red, fresh, blood that can smell fishy!
If you look closely, there is blood on his teeth, and his body... there is also minced meat and fat!
There were even a few fresh bullet holes on his body, and the sturdy cloak was tattered like a sieve. There was no need to guess. It was someone who saw what happened to him just now when he saw him like this.
He must have attacked humans and was attacked at the same time.
However, don't the zombies here never attack people
Doesn't this big man usually help Madame Zola with the farm work? He is usually... but very honest...
Zombies!
Ronggui's mind went blank.
On the other hand, Mrs. Zora, who was half-lying on the carpet and half-sitting in the arms of Xiaomei and Ronggui, suddenly showed a touch of sadness on her face.
An intense sadness.
"Ah!" The big zombie who never spoke suddenly spoke up.
His voice was very strange. Even though he was such a big man, his voice was shrill, like a child's.
He is very sensitive to voices, and he can even hear the vague joy between the other's voices.
"Ah!" he called again.
Heavy footsteps sounded again, with a strong smell of blood, the big man walked in the direction of Mrs. Zola.
Standing in front of the three people, he suddenly pulled back his cloak. Then-
crackling...
Many, many medicine bottles fell from under the cloak, onto the carpet, and onto Madame Zora's skirt.
It was exactly the same as the empty bottle that Mrs. Zorah had dropped on the floor before, and all that fell were brand new heart medicine.
"Ah!" he called again.
It seems that Mrs. Zora is taking her medicine quickly.
The transparent liquid slipped from her eyes, as if she could hear the meaning of the big man's words, and Mrs. Zorah cried silently.
Outside the window, the sound of the wheels suddenly braking came suddenly.
Lots of cars stopped, and more people jumped out of them.
They gathered around.
