This Wave of Zombies is No Good - Chapter 7

The door to the operating room was not locked, but because Zou Lang had piled up the rescue supplies there earlier, the zombies did not push it.

From the shadow projected from there, it could be seen that this was a male zombie. Bald, with extremely developed muscles.

Yu Jingtang’s body was tense, but Zou Lang just gently supported him and did not move.

The zombie outside the door was silent for a while, and finally seemed to give up this place, and the heavy footsteps gradually moved away.

It was then that Zou Lang let go of Yu Jingtang.

Yu Jingtang turned his head, gasping heavily, breathing in fresh air.

Zou Lang let go of him, propped up his body and looked at him for a moment, as if this was just a special method in an extraordinary environment.

Yu Jingtang’s face was calm and was back to normal. He curled up under the table, his hands vaguely covering the wound, and a pair of eyes were shining brightly, completely unable to see his inner joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. He did not fully explode, he just gently raised his knee.

Zou Lang howled, climbed down from Yu Jingtang, and the facts taught him that one always had to pay back when one came out to mess around, and a sick tiger was also a tiger, so one must not treat him as a sick cat.

The pain eased slightly, and Yu Jingtang propped up his body. He sewed the last two stitches himself, tied a knot and cut the thread, and began to lower his head to bandage the wound. Only then did Zou Lang know that Yu Jingtang was not joking when he started to say whether he wanted to sew himself, and his movements were much more proficient than him.

After the wound was bandaged, Yu Jingtang asked Zou Lang, “How much do you know about these zombies?”

Zou Lang, who had been silent on the side, finally got a chance, “The evolved zombie I told you about that I had encountered before, it’s this one, Xiu Cai… uh, Xiu Cai is also my dead deputy, who first discovered him in observation, he called him Adam. In this city, there may be more than one or two evolved zombies like this. I personally infer that this is a kind of non-directional specific evolution, which is a variant of zombies. Their cells and tissues have been reorganized, and some human characteristics before death will be strengthened.”

Yu Jingtang wiped the blood on his hand, frowned slightly, Adam, the first human and the first man recorded in the Bible, it was quite appropriate to use it here.

Suddenly there was a loud roar in the distance, which was very much like a woman’s scream. The sound broke through the layers of obstacles from a very far place and reached here, as if responding to the roar of the zombie just now, but that was a sound that humans could not make, only female zombies…

Zou Lang pretended to whistle casually, “It seems that they are using sound to transmit information, he has found his Eve.”

Yu Jingtang’s face was calm, he pulled down his clothes to cover the gauze, then swallowed a few pills, his forehead was still covered with cold sweat, but he straightened up, “Let’s go back, don’t tell others about my injury.”

Zou Lang did not dare to shirk this time, and took the initiative to carry the rescue pack that had saved their lives once.

After this twist and turn, the two finally returned to the station around noon. Fortunately, everything was normal along the way, and no more trouble occurred.

The station was quiet, and the group of students even turned out a deck of playing cards and started to compete for the upstream. (TL: advanced status or level)

Zou Lang began to distribute the supply packs, and everyone was responsible for their part. The things in this pack were indeed complete, including some weapons and supplies.

Yu Jingtang gave a few instructions, then went back to his room by himself. He took off his bloody clothes and put on clean clothes. Then he opened a city map and sat cross-legged on the bed. The wound was still a bit painful, but it was bearable. As long as the wound did not worsen or even get infected, he could bear this injury. It’s just that because of the injury, his movements would be somewhat affected.

According to the map, their position is in the southwest of the city, and the sound of the female zombie came from the northwest direction. The two zombies might go to meet, but zombies are still wandering, where would be a safe place?

They still need a base station, but the communication in half of the city has been interrupted, and they can only send out SOS signals…

As Yu Jingtang was thinking, he suddenly heard footsteps. He looked up alertly and saw Zou Lang poking his head in from outside.

“What’s the matter?”

Zou Lang then ran into the room and asked him, “Does the wound still hurt?”

Yu Jingtang raised his head and replied coldly, “You don’t need to worry about it.”

Zou Lang then began to talk about business, “It’s time for lunch. There’s not enough instant noodles, so I gave the students some biscuits. But you have to wait a bit, you can’t eat cold food anymore, wife, listen to brother.” Zou Lang was sure that Yu Jingtang was weak at this time and couldn’t chase him to hit him. Even in the face of financial difficulty, he still had to take advantage of his mouth.

“Who the hell is your wife?” A hint of anger suddenly appeared on Yu Jingtang’s pale face. One hand suddenly rose and held the hand that Zou Lang had placed next to him. Before Zou Lang could react, his hand was held in the other’s hand. Then his fingers were pinched, almost breaking.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go, brother brother… I’m your brother!” Zou Lang instantly became submissive.

Only then did Yu Jingtang snorted satisfactorily and let go of his hand.

Zou Lang still didn’t leave, and came up like offering a treasure. “I made porridge for you, and then I found some meat to stuff your teeth.” As he spoke, he magically took out a small thing from the pocket in his arms. “Just now in the yard, I caught a field mouse.”

It was a small thing covered in fluffy fur, with round eyes, looking at Yu Jingtang in a daze. Its mouth was still moving up and down.

After Yu Jingtang and the small thing in Zou Lang’s hand looked at each other for a few seconds, he couldn’t help it anymore.

He suddenly laughed.

At that moment, his eyes first arched a small arc, making his pupils bigger, and then his thin lips slightly raised.

This was the first time Zou Lang saw his smile, like a suddenly blooming spring cherry, like a clear sky after a sudden rain, and like the ice and snow melting in early spring. At that moment, he suddenly understood why King You of Zhou Dynasty would play with the vassal lords with beacon fires. Even if it was in chaos, this smile could melt a heart.

(t/n: King You of Zhou Dynasty in the Western Zhou Dynasty lit the beacon tower and played tricks with the vassal lords to make Bao Si smile. Bao Si really laughed after seeing it, thus King You was very happy and lit the beacon many times.)

Even though the laughter in front of him was mostly driven by anger, and even though he did not know what was funny about this.

Yu Jingtang just laughed for a moment, then patted his shoulder.

“Comrade, this is not a field mouse, it’s a chinchilla.”

(t/n: chinchilla-a small South American rodent with soft gray fur and a long bushy tail. After the chinchilla was introduced as a pet in Hong Kong, it was called Totoro because it resembled the cartoon character “My Neighbor Totoro”.)
