Chapter 19 A dividing line

Xiao Leng's tone was anxious, "Take the medicine quickly."

She handed me a board of capsules and turned to get some water.

I grabbed her and said, "I'm really fine, don't waste the medicine."

Xiao Leng opened my hand and said, "Fever is not a trivial matter, you must eat it!"

Looking at her determined eyes, I nodded and compromised.

In fact, what is the use of taking medicine? Antibiotics can indeed reduce inflammation, but if the skin continues to fester, the wound will remain infected.

Radiation disease is a continuous and irreversible process.

In front of Xiao Leng, I took the medicine.

"I want to rest for a while, don't worry I'll be fine."

Leaning against the wall, I spoke softly.

"Brother, go sleep on the quilt and don't catch a cold again."

Xiao Leng said, coming to help me.

When she was about to touch my arm, I quickly retracted my hand, "It's okay, I'm right here, I just didn't rest well."

"elder brother!"

Xiao Leng yelled at me.

I waved my hand, "Don't make trouble."

After saying that, I closed my eyes.

Xiao Leng didn't bother anymore. With my eyes closed, I heard her footsteps walking away.

After a while, I felt something covering me.

I didn't open my eyes, I knew it was a quilt.

Xiao Leng seemed to think I was asleep and was cautious around me.

Suddenly there was a rush of heat in my ears, "Brother, I love you."

My whole body stiffened, and then my muscles softened again.

I really fell asleep...

When I woke up, the Lin brothers were already back.

I opened my eyes and saw Li Chong holding an aluminum pot and dancing.

"Use this to cook instant noodles tonight! Put the pot on the pot!"

The two of them carried back six large bags of supplies and two quilts.

"Brother, are you okay? You don't look good."

Li Xiang walked towards me carrying a bag.

I sat up and waved my hands, "It's okay, I'm just too tired."

Li Xiang chuckled, "Look what I got."

He dragged the bag in front of me and looked down. It actually contained several tools: a shovel, an axe, wire cutters, a handsaw and a bunch of saw blades.

"Where did you get it?"

I suddenly woke up.

"Haha, I found a hardware store when I came back. There were a lot of things, but I couldn't take them out."

Li Xiang sat down next to me, "With these things, we can block the opening of the air-raid shelter first, and we won't have to worry about sleeping in the future."

"You haven't encountered anything like that, have you?"

I raised my head and stared at him and asked.

Li Xiang shook his head, "I heard you say, so we dare not go to dark places. But... we didn't meet anyone along the way."

Li Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "It's like a dead city..."

Indeed, I feel the same way as him.

After the disaster, the city seemed like a dead city, as if we were the only ones alive.

Where we are now, there used to be a population density of at least 100,000 people, but now when we go out for three to five kilometers, we can't see even a single living person, not even a corpse.

It's like disappearing into thin air.

The more you think about it carefully, the more unclear it becomes and it just makes people feel weird.

"Do you think we are the only ones left alive in this whole world?"

Li Xiang smiled at me.

I smiled helplessly, "Then I have to build a country, the only country in the world."

"Hahaha!" Li Xiang laughed, "Then you will be the king and I will be the prime minister."

Xiao Leng leaned his head and said, "Then am I not a princess?"

"Hahaha..."

The atmosphere in the air raid shelter was very harmonious.

When night fell, a bonfire was lit in the air raid shelter.

Li Chong used several wooden strips to build a bracket, and the aluminum pot was placed on it.

The flames danced underneath, and the water in the pot gradually boiled.

The water in the pot is filtered water flowing down the stone wall. It is just right for use after boiling.

It's just that this half pot of water has caused the water in the groove to bottom out.

Li Chong tore open a few bags of instant noodles and threw them into the pot, his face full of excitement.

"How long has it been since you had something decent?"

Li Chong tore open a few more ham sausages and threw them into boiling water to cook with instant noodles.

The aroma overflows immediately, and the unique taste of instant noodles tantalizes the taste buds.

We each had two pruned branches in our hands, and without caring about being particular, we gathered around the fire and fished them into the pot.

Li Chong opened the wine, and the others started drinking instant noodles.

I took a few sips, and the spicy taste suddenly filled my nose.

"Ahem..."

I choked and coughed, "It's so spicy!"

But after these few sips of wine, my body suddenly felt warm and it didn't feel so cold anymore.

"Brother, what did you do before?"

Li Xiang asked me while holding the wine bottle.

I was slightly taken aback and said, "Ordinary staff, nothing special."

"To be honest, you are the calmest and cruelest person I have ever seen!"

Li Xiang gave me a thumbs up, "When you fired the gun that day, even I was stunned."

I chuckled: "If it were you, you would do the same thing."

"But after I finish killing people, I will definitely not be able to be as calm as you."

Li Xiang shook the bottle and took another sip, "To be honest, we two brothers run a gym nearby, so we have a little money."

"I can tell."

I replied that the muscle lines on the two brothers' bodies would not be so well-proportioned without special training.

"Actually, our family background is not good either. We struggled to achieve anything in the city, but everything was ruined."

Li Xiang's voice was low, and the firelight made his face turn red.

Li Chong also remained silent and snatched the bottle from his brother's hand.

"I think it's pretty good now."

Old Man Sun curled up and narrowed his eyes slightly while drinking until his face turned red.

"If you have food to eat and wine to drink, you can be happy anywhere." The old man took a sip of wine with a contented look on his face.

"Yes, how many people have been turned into ashes forever..."

I sighed with emotion, and couldn't help but think of the bright light that descended from the sky that day. The center of the nuclear bomb explosion was now a charred death zone.

Everything in the center has long been reduced to ashes, and there is no grass growing for dozens of kilometers.

The atmosphere fell into a brief silence.

"Why do you think so much? I have accumulated good deeds in my previous life, so I have a great destiny!"

Li Chong suddenly shouted, "If you don't want to eat, I'll finish it."

Li Xiang raised his hand and slapped him on the forehead. Li Chong jumped up while holding his chopsticks but did not dare to fight back.

Old man Sun laughed loudly.

Next to the campfire, they talked about their past ideals, and Xiao Leng also said a few words with a blushing face.

Her ideal is to be admitted to Southwest University.

But now the college entrance examination is no longer required.

As the bottle of liquor gradually bottomed out, they turned to ask me.

"My ideal..." I smiled and stood up from the ground, "I'm going to the bathroom and I'll talk about it when I get back."

Turning around, I staggered towards the back of the air raid shelter.

Xiao Leng wanted to help me, but I refused.

They all thought that I was too drunk.

But when I walked into the darkness, only I knew that my body was soaked with cold sweat.

Waves of dizziness hit me, and I almost fell down several times while holding on to the wall.

The infection made my temperature even higher.

I opened my collar and the rot spread to my chest.

Within three days, I'm afraid it will be difficult to breathe, and the infection will kill me!

Looking at the firelight behind me, the boundary between the bonfire and the darkness was like a dividing line, separating me from them.

I am incompatible with this hustle and bustle...

In the darkness, a blue test tube rolled into my hand.

And at this moment, I have made a decision.
