Chapter 587 - 502: Don’t Throw Away Your Chance to Survive (Part 2)
Zhao Dezhu and Zheng Xinyu are extremely busy and haven’t noticed the arrival of Zhang Su and his party at all.
In addition to the two of them, Ouyang Qiao, Pan Ru, and others who haven’t been affected and have some medical knowledge are also busy with the treatment work.
Almost every fighter is injured to some extent, but everyone is focused on those bitten by zombies, neglecting the others.
Throughout the brief history of the Survivor Alliance, there has never been such a severe casualty event. Several zombie attacks were dealt with before they reached the mall, but this was the only time they rushed in.
Fortunately, Qin City Third Hospital is on the other side of Sun City Pedestrian Street, and the emergency supplies collected over time are all coming in handy now.
"Brother Su!"
Liu Tianji is sitting in the corner, with ropes tightly bound around his upper body, looking quite disheveled, but his mental state seems good. Zheng Xinyu promptly administered the Zombie Thalamus to him, postponing the looming threat of zombification to ensure he didn’t die from blood loss.
"Sit down, sit down..."
Seeing Liu Tianji trying to get up by leaning on the wall, Zhang Su stepped forward, held him by the shoulder, and encouraged him, "Hold on, the work of setting up the communications network is still waiting for you. You must not drop the ball!"
"I’m fine, Brother Su. I will complete the task, I promise!" Liu Tianji replied excitedly, knowing that nobody wants to die if they can live, and everyone is encouraging him, so he has no reason to give up.
"Brother Liu, you should be feeling sleepy at this point; if you’re sleepy, just sleep. Is it a bit noisy here? Do you need a quieter place?"
Chen Hanzhou, referencing his own experience, asked.
Liu Tianji’s smile froze momentarily as he replied slowly, "Oh no, I’m not sleepy at all, but I am very tired. Is this a bad sign?"
He knows Chen Hanzhou’s experience; it’s valuable knowledge from a seasoned veteran.
"Don’t speak words of despair, maintain your will to survive. Everyone’s situation is different; don’t give up easily!" Zhang Su squeezed Liu Tianji’s shoulder.
"Brother Su is right. Brother Liu, you and I are still single; are you willing to die like this? I still have lots of good stuff on my computer that you haven’t seen. When we go back, I’ll lend you the computer and let you enjoy everything at once!"
Wu Lue appeared out of nowhere and comforted Liu Tianji in his unique way.
Suddenly, many noticed Zhang Su’s return. All sorts of gazes gathered, with admiration, gratitude, respect, and enthusiasm. Greetings echoed everywhere, even the weary injured perked up, seemingly trying to draw strength from Zhang Su as a mental pillar to support themselves through tough times.
Yuwen walked solemnly to Zhang Su, remorsefully saying, "Mr. Zhang, I need to self-reflect. It was I who suggested going downstairs to eliminate the zombies first. Had we been more cautious and defended the safety passage, this tragedy wouldn’t have occurred."
Wouldn’t it?
Perhaps it would have been better, as the narrow staircase was a natural defensive structure.
"I also have fault here."
Li Zongkai embarrassedly came before Zhang Su. Trusted greatly to assist Yuwen, yet with the collective decision-making of the two, they nearly bundled everyone into a catastrophe.
"You two..."
Wu Baokang stood up from the corner, extinguishing his cigarette butt underfoot while walking towards the door, saying, "You two shouldn’t be blamed entirely for this; I led everyone out after going downstairs. Given the situation then... forget it, I was such an idiot!"
Zhang Su, having roughly understood the situation from Tan Huajun, waved his hand after listening to the trio taking responsibility, "It’s necessary to summarize mistakes; everyone makes them. Considering the context at the time, your decisions weren’t majorly flawed, just lacking caution. Remember this for the future!"
After speaking, he patted the three of them on the shoulders and then turned his attention to Li Zongkai, pulling him slightly aside to ask, "Have you contacted the camp over there? Any developments?"
He’s very concerned about the camp’s safety now because, from previous situations, zombies strengthened can easily breach obstacles and have improved ability to seek humans. It’s a terrifying enhancement!
Li Zongkai shook his head, shrugging a bit awkwardly, "Currently, I can only passively wait for them to contact me; the communication equipment is always on, but there’s no message. I guess at times like these, no news is good news."
"Let me ask if there are many zombies confined near the camp?"
Zhang Su straightforwardly inquired.
Li Zongkai immediately shook his head, "How could there be zombies confined near the camp? They’ve all been lured away. The nearest mob is over ten kilometers away. There might be some stragglers in the apartment complex kept confined, or maybe some left to avoid killing, but it’s minimal, not enough to form a threat."
The method of dealing with surrounding zombies by Civilization Guardian differs from the former Little Eagle Association.
Feeling reassured, Zhang Su nodded. If things are like this, it’s much better. He then approached the crowd, sensing everyone’s emotions while noticing the helpless expressions on the faces of Zheng Xinyu and others managing the treatment, guessing the process wasn’t going smoothly, he spoke loudly.
"Everyone! In this crappy world where life is harder than weeds, if we don’t cherish it ourselves, who can we expect to protect us? As long as we live, all things are possible. Put simply, it’s better to live shamelessly than to die gracefully. Injured, cooperate fully with the medical staff. Their unyielding will to survive can help defeat zombification!"
