Chapter 170 Robert's Decision(1/2)
Time comes to noon in a blink of an eye.
Ethan sat on the bed, holding a comic book in his hand and reading with relish.
A child is a child after all.
Although he was so scared by the horror scene last night, he still started playing with carefree things when he woke up. He had just finished reading the monster Shrek produced by DreamWorks, and now he found comic books from the room. These books have been in the room for several years, but they still look brand new. It can be seen that the former owner of these books, Robert's child, must care about these comic books very much. Although these books are not valuable in themselves, each comic contains a dream of these children.
This Spider-Man comic made Ethan's eyes shine and he was fascinated.
Peter Parker once again defeated the evil Doctor Octopus and saved New York.
only--
New York in the comics is much more lively than New York now.
Ethan was so focused that Anna quietly pushed open the door, and he didn't notice it. However, Anna didn't come in. She just stood silently at the door, watching the child immersed in her own world. Ethan's face was much rosy than it was a few hours ago. Even those who didn't understand medicine knew that the child's physical condition had improved a lot. Anna breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the quiet, non-talking child, closed the door, and walked downstairs.
At this time, Chu Jianqing, Zhang Yang and others should still be resting downstairs.
Anna felt a little.
Zhang Yang and others are different from Robert, of course - even more different from her. Because they seem to be very relaxed and leisurely, not like escapees, but like traveling.
For some reason, Anna felt that these guys were mysteriously and mysterious. Although when asked about their origins, everyone could pick up the tragic past, but no one knew how many of them were true and how many were fake. Robert gave people the feeling that they were so sad that you couldn't help but stay away from them. Although these guys were normal and very sincere and enthusiastic, they always gave people a feeling of being a show-off. Thinking of this, Anna quickly shook her head. She felt that she was probably a little nervous because of the accident last night.
Standing at the corner of the stairs, Anna heard the sound of TV coming from the living room. The man who was speaking was a low and courageous man, his voice was full of majesty and indifference, and he seemed to have mastered everything. However, this man as proud as an emperor had a little sad tone, as if he had seen the death of his favorite person with his own eyes.
Anna walked downstairs.
On TV, the short-sized Marlon Brando was talking to his family members seriously with a stern face. The young people in the suit stood in front of him in fear and fear.
"Godfather?" Anna said, "Watch such a heavy movie at this time?"
Chu Jianqing said indifferently, "It's not that we want to watch this, but that's only this one - or it's just some of the past news videos, which are even more boring."
"You guys rely on this to pass the time?" Anna picked up the recording box next to the TV. The rubber cover of the box was printed with a thumbnail of the old movie poster. There shouldn't be many people in this world who have never seen this movie.
Zhang Yang said: "No, I usually don't watch movies, of course, except for this "Godfather". To be honest, I think people who say this movie are probably not mature enough to say that they are bored - hey, don't touch them, I didn't talk about you."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yang jumped away from Chu Jianqing, while Chu Jianqing looked at him hatefully.
"Is that?" Anna put the box down and looked into the room, and found that Robert had disappeared at some point, "Where is someone else?"
Zhang Yang said: "I went out to walk the dog - I went back the movie I borrowed before."
"Go back?"
Anna doubted whether she had heard it wrong.
"Don't worry, you heard it right - he borrowed these movies from the store, so he has to pay them back. Although this sounds a bit stupid, he has been in New York for three years and has no one to talk. He is bored and has to find something to do to pass the time. In fact, twenty-four hours a day, sometimes it's really long." Zhang Yang said with emotion, looking like a person who has experienced it.
"To be honest, Robert is really pitiful. His life is like being locked in prison." Chu Jianqing did not remove Zhang Yang's platform this time.
"Yes." Anna nodded, she agreed with the two of them.
Zhang Yang held a red fruit in his hand, and didn't know where he picked the thing. While chewing it, he said, "Are you going to leave with us? Go to the human gathering site?"
Anna thought for a while and nodded.
No matter what the consideration is, living with a crowd is definitely much better than living alone or two or three in this dead New York. She can't imagine what it would be like to live alone here.
"Since that's the case, then we'll set off tomorrow morning - you should know it at the gathering point of humans in Vermont, right? We'll be able to arrive in the morning or in the afternoon!" Chen Lang said.
Anna sat on the sofa facing the TV and took Chen Lang's advice seriously.
"But-Ethan?" Anna said hesitantly.
Chu Jianqing said: "Are you worried about the child's injuries? Although he can't walk down the ground, he just needs to make a stretcher and put him in the car. It won't have any impact on him. It really doesn't work - we still have several free labor here, so it doesn't need to be useless."
"That's really thankful to everyone." Anna looked at everyone gratefully, especially Chu Jianqing.
Anna's feelings for Chu Jianqing were probably between gratitude and admiration. No, it should be said that it was both, because this girl's magical medical skills had completely convinced her. Just now, Chu Jianqing simply looked, heard, asked and touched, and then a golden needle was pierced, and Ethan immediately woke up. At first, his legs could not move, but after applying the needle, most of the redness and swelling disappeared immediately and could barely bend it. Anna originally did not believe in traditional Chinese medicine, but after seeing it with her own eyes, she was amazed at the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine and was incredible.
When Zhang Yang and the others wanted to persuade this woman to leave New York with them, Chu Jianqing's words were undoubtedly the most convincing. Chu Jianqing felt very helpful and felt the joy of being a doctor for the first time. Patients chose doctors, and doctors also chose patients. For example, these guys in their team did not listen to doctor's advice and always opposed her. Chu Jianqing didn't like these patients who liked to make trouble at all.
But Anna was still hesitant: "We're leaving, but where is he?"
‘He’s of course referring to Robert.
Although Anna and Robert were not familiar with each other, meeting was fate, and she couldn't bear to leave Robert. Especially after knowing why Robert stayed in this city, she became even more embarrassed.
Chu Jianqing looked at her with earnest eyes, "That's why we talked to you - help us convince him."
"Have you ever talked to him?" Anna asked.
Everyone nodded, but they all seemed a little depressed, and they were obviously rejected by Robert.
"He rejected you? Right? Since he doesn't want to leave, what's the use of me even if I talk to him?" Anna didn't think she could do something that these people couldn't do.
"We can't change his thoughts - but maybe you can?" Zhang Yang threw away the fruit core, and his face was filled with the words "I still want to finish it." Perhaps because of his good mood, Zhang Yang's appetite gradually increased.
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Anna finally agreed.
Everyone smiled knowingly.
"I'll find something to eat." Zhang Yang waved his hand and went out.
Anna said: "He doesn't seem to have even brought a gun - don't you worry about him going out alone? Are you not afraid of encountering ferocious wild animals?"
Everyone smiled and didn't explain much.
On land, except for the zombie lord, there are probably no creatures that can threaten Zhang Yang.
Good luck is not continuing.
Robert found nothing at Southport Pier.
Generally speaking, Robert would not return to the villa early because he knew that when he returned home, he would face an empty room - staying in an empty villa for a long time would easily cause illness. Psychological diseases, such as depression, schizophrenia, etc., would be really fatal if he suffered from it. So in the afternoon, he would take Sam out for hunting, golf or something, rather than staying alone in the house.
But now it's different.
He was finally not alone in the room.
So after twelve o'clock in the pier at Nangang, he took Sam away - in the past he would always stubbornly wait for an hour or two more, but today he didn't. Zhang Yang and the others suggested that he had actually considered it seriously. Just now, he went to the disc rental store he had been patronizing and returned all the discs he had forgotten to return, except for the ones he loved the most.
Three years have passed.
As a watchman, he has been waiting here for three years, both for atonement and for confession, and now he has done everything he should do. And, what he longs for most, the antidote to the virus has been obtained.
So maybe it's time to say goodbye to the city?
"Yes, Sam tell me what you think? Do you want to stay in this city? Just the two of us - or follow those guys to more places where humans live?" Robert rubbed Sam's head while driving. Sam squinted his eyes and enjoyed Robert's touch.
"Woom--"
Sam suddenly crawled out of Robert's palm and shouted out the window.
"What did you see?"
Robert knew that Sam would never do such a thing for no reason. Looking down the street, a figure flashed by.
It's a white-tailed deer!
There are several herds of white-tailed deer in the square in New York City, with a total of hundreds. Although these animals are quite sufficient as food sources, they are difficult to catch, and even with guns, they are not easy to hit. Robert has driven a sports car countless times to chase and block these animals, but most of the time they ended in failure. Therefore, in the three years of practice in New York City, there are very few opportunities to eat new things. Most of the time, he still lives on food such as flour and cans.
For several days, the fat man was able to bring back fresh prey every day, which made Robert feel curious and ashamed. As a US military officer, he was not as good as a fat man who knew how to use a gun - Robert felt that he might have to do something.
Maybe it's going to work today!
Robert stepped on the accelerator, then turned the steering wheel and turned into the street where the white-tailed deer had just appeared. A ball of black smoke was sprayed out from the exhaust pipe of the Ford car. The car had not galloped so unscrupulously for a long time. Fortunately, the performance of the Ford car itself was quite excellent, so it would not be abnormal because of this accelerator. Sam squatted in the passenger seat and shouted loudly. It also had the instinct of a hunter instinct in its body, so he tried to drive away the prey through his own voice.
One person, one dog, one old car, and one crazy life in New York City.
The white-tailed deer was quite frightened and ran into a narrow alley in a panic. This was a safe passage between two buildings, which only allowed one car to pass through, and even had no room for turning around. Generally speaking, this passage was not allowed to place anything, because once a fire broke out, it was both a fire truck and an escape passage. However, now, the other end of the street was blocked by a large truck slumped to the ground, becoming a dead end.
Robert stopped the car, picked up the gun, put on the bullets, and slowly approached the white-tailed deer who was in desperate situation. Sam followed his feet and grinned at the white-tailed deer. Although it was not as big as the other party, it was full of momentum. It was indeed a very good hunting dog, at least it had enough courage.
The white-tailed deer, who knew she had nowhere to escape, turned her head and looked at Robert, and actually wanted to fight to the death.
Robert sneered and pointed his gun at the white-tailed deer.
Just the moment he was about to pull the trigger.
roar--
A huge brown-red figure appeared above their heads!
This huge creature, three meters tall, fell from the sky like an eagle culling its prey, and the violent force stomped the ground and collapsed. The poor white-tailed deer was also knocked to the ground by it, and the powerful force killed the white-tailed deer, which was originally full of vitality, in an instant.
This is - zombies?!
Robert couldn't believe his eyes.
Zombies shouldn't be like this! And they shouldn't appear at this time! Even in this tunnel without sunlight directly shining in, the faint light reflected by the dust in the air is enough to kill it!
But this is not a zombie, is it still a human?!
Robert felt his feet trembling. Yes, he was afraid. Although he had been dealing with zombies for three years, he had never seen such a tall and mighty person. He was like a snake catcher. Even if he had been catching a snake for a lifetime, if he saw a giant python that was more than ten meters long, he would probably be scared to death. The huge creature suddenly turned his head and looked at Robert coldly. When Robert was stared at by it, his heart felt half a beat slower.
Bang--
His hand unconsciously pressed the trigger and a bullet shot at the huge zombie.
