When Chen Bin and others returned to the second floor of Jiafu Supermarket, they found Ah Cai and Zou Qiqi waiting there.
Zou Qiqi saw the figure of Qiao Xingyu in the crowd. Her heart was hanging. She ran to Qiao Xingyu to help him take over his things.
"I'll do it myself. It's all zombie blood. Don't dirty your hands," Qiao Xingyu said with a smile. "We need to change our clothes and wash them first."
"Is everything all right?" Ah Cai asked with concern.
"It's OK, the parking lot was successfully taken down," Chen Bin said with a feigned relaxed smile. He didn't mention the danger in the process, so that they wouldn't worry. But looking at the worry on the girl's face in front of him, Chen Bin knew that he could not hide it from her.
"You can imagine how dangerous it is because you are covered with blood." A Cai was angry. "Nothing is worth risking with his life."
"Yes," Chen Bin smiled.
"What?" A Cai asked curiously.
"You ah," Chen Bin's voice just dropped, A Cai's face turned red.
"Alas, you two are abusing dogs in public," Luo Jia said, glancing at Zhao Guangcheng. "If only Lao Zhao could be so sweet."
"Lao Zhao? I'm still a college student." Zhao Guangcheng curled his mouth, with a deliberate expression of dissatisfaction on his face. "Jiajia, why do you want to call me so old?"
"Let's go change our clothes and wash them. They stink." Chen Bin said, "Take the clothes you changed to Aunt Luo to wash them. They should be washed several times more. The blood of zombies is infectious."
"Why don't you throw away those that are not easy to wash?" Yu Gang looked at his smelly clothes and said in disgust.
"The equipment brought back from the police station is not as much as the clothes in Jiafu Supermarket, and the quantity is still very small," Chen Bin said after thinking for a while. "We can store the cleaned clothes and save them for later use. When we take action next time, we will give priority to using new clothes as long as we have new clothes in our hands."
"It's too bad to use such good anti riot clothes and anti cutting gloves as disposable things," Qiao Xingyu also agreed with Chen Bin's arrangement. "It should be OK to wash them more often if you work harder."
"OK," Zou Qiqi nodded.
Cao Shengli and Lao Huan began to help everyone put their equipment in the corner, and then all the people went to the room next to the cooked food area.
This room used to belong to the fresh area, where many fresh shrimps and river fish were sold. After the date of variation, this place was cleared out. With the population of Jiafu Supermarket increasing, the toilet that originally gave consideration to both bathing and urination became somewhat inconvenient. The fresh food area that was cleared out was very suitable to be transformed into a bathroom because the water pipes were arranged in a proper way. Later, everyone worked together to change several compartments inside for bathing.
The only disadvantage of this bathroom is that it is not connected with hot water. If you want to take a hot bath, you must boil additional water and then come in to wash it in barrels. Fortunately, it is still October, and the temperature outside is basically maintained at about 25~30 degrees, so it is no problem to wash cold water directly.
The clothes they took off were left at the door, and the men walked in naked. The faucet was turned off, and the bathroom was full of the sound of water.
"Brother Yu Gang, what is the scar on your chest?" Cao Shengli looked at Yu Gang as he soaped himself.
"Huh?" Yu Gang looked down and saw that a part of his chest had been scratched by something. He hadn't noticed before, but just heard Cao Shengli say it.
A chill came from the bottom of his feet, and Yu Gang's soap fell to the ground, and his face turned white.
Lao Huan helped him pick up the soap and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Yu Gang didn't hear what Lao Huan said. Now he just felt a surge of blood, which made his forehead ache. In a flash, he remembered the Fifth Master.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"It's over. Did you get scratched by a zombie?" A cold sweat came out on Yu Gang's forehead. He pulled the towel to stop the wound on his chest.
The more he is like this, the more he attracts the attention of people around him. Wei Qiming and Dafei both looked at him. Yu Gang began to tremble under their eyes. He was afraid that he would become a zombie like the Fifth Master, and then he would be killed by his companions.
"Wounded?" Dafei asked.
"No, no," Yu Gang's eyes dodged, and the water in the nozzle ran down his hair, making him look a little embarrassed. "He scratched himself carelessly."
Yu Gang's words alerted everyone around. Chen Bin said to everyone quickly, "Check your body to see if there are any scars. This is a serious matter. Concealing will only hurt others and yourself."
"I also have bruises on my arm," Qiao Xingyu raised his head and said. He raised his left hand and looked straight at the red skin mark on it.
"Is there anyone else?" Chen Bin's face became stern, and the joy of the success of his previous actions had disappeared. He looked around and saw everyone shaking their heads.
"Xingyu and Yugang, we have to isolate you first," Chen Bin said in a deep voice. "I hope you can understand that if nothing happens in 24 hours, it can be confirmed as safe."
"Well," Qiao Xingyu smiled, and the smile on his face was a little reluctant. "Yes, but I have to wash my body first."
"Don't, don't isolate me, I don't want to die," Yu Gang said with a sad face. Chen Bin's words just now seemed to him that he was sentenced to death, and the scene of the Fifth Master's mutation left a deep shadow in Yu Gang's heart. He cried and grabbed Cao Shengli's arm. He kept pleading, "Brother Cao, help me, Brother Huan, help me."
"Yu Gang, it's not certain that he will change, but he needs to be isolated first." Wei Qiming came forward to persuade him. "If he is infected by a zombie, he will die if he is not isolated. If not, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Fart, Wei Qiming," Yu Ganghong scolded with eyes. "It's not you who hurt. Of course you're not afraid."
Yu just scolded him. Wei Qiming stood there, not knowing what to say.
"Brother Yu Gang, Old Wei was right." Cao Shengli patted Yu Gang on the shoulder and comforted him
"Brother Cao..." Yu Gang's tears came down. He knelt on the ground and his body kept shaking.
Qiao Xingyu moped off the soap on his body. He raised his head to face Zhao Guangcheng's concerned eyes, and then smiled. "I'm fine. I'll leave it to fate."
"Xingyu, do you remember if you were scratched by a zombie on your arm?" Zhao Guangcheng said.
"I don't remember, but I'm a little confused now." Qiao Xingyu's face was a little lost. "Brother, in case of..., I mean in case of something happening to me, you can take care of Qiqi for me."
"Don't say anything disheartening," Zhao Guangcheng said hurriedly. He ran to the pile of dirty clothes and looked for them. He turned to Qiao Xingyu and asked, "Which one is yours?"
"It seems to be the one above," Qiao Xingyu didn't know what Zhao Guangcheng was going to do. Now he was also out of control, and his mind was full of worries about Zou Qiqi's future.
"Your clothes are not broken. Your wound was not scratched by a zombie." Zhao Guangcheng raised the dirty clothes as if he had discovered the New World.
The joy on Qiao Xingyu's face flashed away. It was uncertain whether the clothes were his or not, and the final result would not be known until isolation.
"Xingyu, Yu Gang, don't be pessimistic," Chen Bin said. "It's still uncertain whether your injuries are caused by zombies. Isolation is just for safety."
"I understand," Qiao Xingyu nodded, turned to Yu Gang and said, "Yu Gang, I'm afraid of nothing."
Qiao Xingyu's words made Yu Gang stop crying. Maybe there was a fellow sufferer, and Yu Gang was much more relaxed.
"Just finish the washing, I'm a little hungry," Qiao Xingyu said to his face with a shower
"Well, everything else is the same." Chen Bin nodded.
Because of such an accident, everyone is not in the mood to continue to wash slowly. A group of people came out of the bathroom and went straight to the innermost warehouse on the second floor of Jiafu Supermarket. All the way, they were in a hurry and looked different. When Zou Qiqi and Luo Jia came to pick up the dirty clothes, they just passed by the men. Qiao Xingyu looked back at her and caught Zou Qiqi's eye. His eyes were full of nostalgia and sadness.
"What's the matter with these men? Suddenly, Luo Jia murmured in a low voice. Just now, Zhao Guangcheng didn't look at her when he passed by, which made Luo Jia feel uncomfortable.
"What's the matter with you, Kiki?" After a long time of silence, Luo Jia suddenly noticed that Zou Qiqi was staring at her back.
"Nothing..." Zou Qiqi shook her head. "It's just that she felt uncomfortable and had a bad feeling."
"A woman's sixth sense?" Luo Jia asked.
"I hope it's not the sixth sense," said Zou Qiqi, shaking her head. "I'll go there later to see if something is wrong with them."
"What can men do?" Luo Jia said with some disapproval. She had come to the door of the shower, saw a pile of bloody clothes piled on the ground, and suddenly her eyelids jumped.
Luo Jia looked at Zou Qiqi and found that she was also looking at the pile of clothes. They were stunned and their hearts began to beat faster.
"I'll go with you later," Luo Jia said.
"Well," Zou Qiqi nodded.
"May God bless us!" The girl began to pray in her heart.
"That's it. Nobody comes to this room," Dafei said, lifting two chairs.
"Bind it tight," Qiao Xingyu sat on it and said to Dafei. "For your sake, don't give me too much face."
Dafei nodded and tied Qiao Xingyu's body and feet to the chair with a rope. Next to him, Chen Bin and Wei Qiming began to tie Yu Gang up.
"Brother Qiao and Brother Yu Gang, if you two feel bored, Lao Huan and I will stay and chat with you," Cao Shengli said
"Well, then we will be told about your hometown and what kind of daughter-in-law you are going to marry," Qiao Xingyu said with a smile. His body was tied up, but his heart was open. He saw Zou Qiqi on the way over just now. Although he was reluctant to part with her, he had to face this life and death disaster.
"The fate should not end here," Qiao Xingyu thought.
