Chapter 40: 40

Chapter 40 – Rescue Plan

Translator: Jostena

Editor: Callis & Dragon

When Song Chengshu saw Zhao Bing faint, he immediately went to check and found that his body temperature was astonishingly high. He was suffering from a fever.

“What’s the matter? Is there any other place where Lieutenant Zhao was injured?” The wound on Zhao Bing's arm had already been bandaged, and they couldn't see bloodstains anywhere else. There shouldn't be any more wounds.

Several of the soldiers looked at each other. They couldn't remember if the Lieutenant had any other injuries.

Song Chengshu couldn't find a reason for his collapse, so he simply stripped off Zhao Bing’s clothes. He noticed a shallow scratch on the back of his neck, perhaps caused by the zombie's nails. Because the wound was shallow, there wasn't much blood, so it did not attract attention.

He pushed Zhao Bing’s eyelids open to see that his pupils were still normal. Although his eyes were a little hyperemic, they should just be caused by regular late nights and exhaustion. It wasn't as exaggerated as the completely red eyes of those who had been infected. As long as he could resist the virus's attack, he should be able to survive.

“Doctor, what happened to our Lieutenant?” Several of the small soldiers were frightened, fearing that Zhao Bing would suffer the same fate as their comrade-in-arms just now.

“It doesn’t matter now. He should be fighting the virus. We can’t do anything, he can only rely on himself.”

A small soldier fell on the ground and looked at Zhao Bing, whose face held a pained expression and his teeth were clenched tightly. He couldn't help but shed a tear.

“Blame me. If the Lieutenant hadn’t pulled me along, I would be lying there now…”

“It’s no use saying that now. You should go and find ice packs, at least help him cool down.”

After listening to Song Chengshu’s words, the soldiers immediately went to the pharmacy to look for them, leaving only three people to take care of the wounded.

Song Chengshu looked at Zhao Bing and sighed heavily. Now, the thing that Zhao Bing needed the most was a cup of vegetable juice, but vegetable juice was also the most unlikely thing to appear here.

When they came in through the front door, they had been too hasty and the cars were left outside. Even if they wanted to pretend that they got it from the car, they couldn’t.

However, the sudden sound of breaking glass attracted people’s attention.

“Look after them here.” Zhan Yun spoke decisively to the three young soldiers. "We'll go out and have a look!"

“Then… Well, if there’s any danger, call us at once!” The three young soldiers thought that they were the soldiers and that they should be the ones facing the danger. But there were still several unconscious comrades lying here, so they could not walk away. They could only let the other group go out to check on the situation.

“Okay.”

As soon as they arrived in the corridor, they saw several zombies breaking a glass window and trying to climb in. The windows of the hospital were made of toughened glass; it wasn't easy to break them. It seemed that the strength of these zombies had really increased.

“Let me! Let me!” Zheng Jiahe shouted and rushed up. The golf clubs in his hands were hitting and smashing into the heads of the zombies, which burst.

But in the past, zombies only needed one hit to be killed. Now, it needed to be hit two or three times before it died. The skull seemed to be several times harder, and Zheng Jiahe needed to spend more energy.

Seeing that Zheng Jiahe had disposed of the zombies, Zhang Shuoliang stepped forward and planned to seal the window with his earth ability, but was stopped by Song Chengshu.

Song Chengshu took out his dagger, dug around in the heads of the zombies that Zheng Jiahe had smashed open, and pulled out several crystal nuclei.

Song Chengshu used his water ability to clean up these crystal nuclei and put them away before he let Zhang Shuoliang seal the window.

In order to prevent any more zombies from breaking in, Zhang Shuoliang simply sealed all the windows and doors on the first floor. At this point in time, they certainly had no way of breaking in.

When sealing the window, Zhang Shuoliang consumed a lot of energy. Fortunately, it could be supplemented with the crystal nuclei.

By the time they returned to the clinic, the soldiers had returned from the pharmacy with ice packs and were cooling Zhao Bing’s body.

“Nothing serious?” When they saw Zhan Yun and the others coming back, they immediately asked with concern.

“Nothing serious. Several zombies broke the windows, but we've already blocked it up.”

“That’s good.” The soldiers were reassured. They took out several packages of crushed biscuits and some bags containing saline, and shared half of it with Zhan Yun. “We didn’t bring much food, there were only these biscuits left. You give it to the woman and the child to eat. The saline was taken from the pharmacy. If you drink a little less, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Normal saline was actually salt water, which was harmless to the human body. In the absence of water, it is also possible to supplement with salt and water, but they couldn't drink too much.

Su Ruizhe was a little touched. The soldiers hadn't rested for a day and a night, and were also injured from the survivors’ plots. They were tired and hungry, but they still thought about the women and children and gave them half of what little food they had with them.

No wonder it is said that soldiers were the most lovely people in the world.

“No, we have food in the car. We’ve already eaten it.” Wu Jing hastily refused and returned the things to them, even Yu Dongdong shook his little hands.

The soldiers saw that they really didn't need it, so they took the food back, and divided it between themselves to eat.

“What are you going to do next?” Song Chengshu couldn’t help but ask.

“We don’t know.” The soldiers grinned bitterly. “Wait till the Lieutenant wakes up, we should try to get back to save the others.”

“But there are so few of you…?”

“That’s just how it is. You can’t always leave them behind, can you?” A little soldier gave a bitter smile.

The clinic wasn't very large. In order to let the soldiers have a better rest, Zhan Yun found another room to rest in.

“Brother Zhan, what shall we do next?” Zheng Jiahe asked in a low voice.

They had already asked for what they wanted to know about the situation, but the response was quite different than what they had imagined. S City's garrison was now under the control of a group of civilians. Zhan Yun and the others wanted to wait for rescue, but didn't know when it would come. Although with Su Ruizhe here, they didn’t have to worry about eating or drinking. Now that the zombies were getting stronger and stronger, it would be safer to follow the large group of armed forces.

“Rescue is sure to come. It’s just a matter of time.” Zhan Yun affirmed, “But before that, we can help them rescue the soldiers who were captured in the barracks.”

“Just relying on a few of us?” Song Chengshu asked incredulously.

“What? You don’t dare? ” Zhan Yun raised his eyebrows and said, “They only have two ability users. We have six.”

“But… They have guns…” Those men robbed the barracks for the arsenal. They must be armed now.

“What? Is our firepower weaker than theirs?”

Song Chengshu then remembered that they still had Su Ruizhe, a mobile arsenal.

Su Ruizhe said with his lips curved slightly, “In fact, I have come up with a stealthy way to save them, without having to rush in.”

“What method?” Song Chengshu looked at him with bright eyes.

Su Ruizhe raised his hand and a thick green vine appeared in his hand.

“What is this?”

Su Ruizhe used his powers to control the vine and climbed up the wall. Then people heard a slight chewing sound. Everywhere the vine passed, it left a gully as if it had been gnawed on by something.

“Bird Vine!” Zheng Jiahe, the gamer, was the first to speak and called out the name of the vine.

This was in the game, the kind of plant that could be grown on tombstones and used to devour it. Now it was being used to silently devour walls; even if the approach used was different, the result was just as satisfactory.

Soon, the vine quietly gnawed a big hole in the wall.

“Great! So we can use that enter the barracks quietly!”

“Zhao Bing and the others are familiar with the terrain, so there is still hope.”

“But how will we deal with them after they’ve been rescued?”

“Take them back to the villa area first. There are so many empty houses that they can always live in them.”

With a lot of noise and chatter, the people quickly decided on the next plan, and now, they waited for Zhao Bing to wake up.

It was already the latter half of the night, and Zhao Bing’s fever was getting worse and worse, and his body was still trembling. The soldiers came and asked Song Chengshu to check on him twice. But with awakening, this kind of thing, Song Chenshu couldn't help them. He could only comfort them with a few words.

In the end, Song Chengshu was anxious and asked Su Ruizhe to take out a bottle of mixed fruit juice from the space and pour half of it for Yu Dongdong to drink. The rest was mixed with some vegetable juice. He took it to the soldiers, only saying that it was leftover from what they drank, and added some vitamins for Zhao Bing, which could enhance his resistance.

The soldiers did not quite understand this, so they thought it would be better for him to drink a little to fill his stomach. They thanked Song Chengshu and fed it to Zhao Bing.

They didn't know if Zhao Bing was lucky or if the mixed vegetable juice played a role, but when the sun rose the next day, Zhao Bing woke up clear-headed.

When the Lieutenant opened his eyes, the little soldiers, who had been so worried that they didn't sleep for an entire night, shed tears.

Hearing the news, Zhan Yun and the others came in and asked, “How are you now? What ability have you awakened?”

“Ability?” Zhao Bing had just woken up, but he still hadn't returned to his senses.

“Yes, you were scratched by a zombie. Fortunately, you’ve resisted it and you’re not infected. Now that you’re awake, you must have awakened an ability. You should try it now!”

Zhao Bing was still a bit confused, but after Song Chengshu gave him the general guide on how to use an ability, he felt the power in his body and tried to control it.

The next moment, a hot flame emerged from Zhao Bing’s palm.

“Ha, it’s a fire ability!”

The author has something to say:

Ouch, today’s special card, it’s late update sorry!!!! Cough, cough, update, Now that I’ve finished updating, it’s time to go online shopping~~

These days, because of the uncomfortable cold, there are still mice in the house. I can’t sleep with my eyes open at night, and I can’t climb up off the bed in the daytime. It’s so bitter! Yesterday, I invited my aunt to clean all the corners of my house. I swept out a bag of peanut crisps from under the sofa. My aunt said that it might be a mouse attracted by this thing, there were many teeth marks on it. Last night, it seemed that the mouse didn't made any movement. ~But I was still trembling. I built a fortress in my room with a big box to avoid the mouse running in my room! Anyway, I don’t even cook, put all the food in the cabinet, close the door of the room, cut off the water and food for the mice, it should be better… Well…

The day before yesterday, I called my friend and wanted to borrow her cat. She refused to lend her cat. She said, “My Mimi is more afraid of mice than you are.” I was suddenly speechless.
