Jiang Shuyu originally wanted to urge them, but after seeing this scene, her eyes slightly reddened. Feeling uncomfortable, she turned her gaze away and walked a few steps back.
Leaving the space entirely to the two of them.
She remained vigilant, scanning her surroundings, alert to the possibility of someone chasing after them or zombies approaching.
Fortunately, it seemed that the zombies were all concentrated on the factory side, and there weren’t many zombies nearby.
For now, it was relatively safe.
Xie Xuanlan gently stroked Ruan Qing’s head. The young man’s hair felt very good, like silk, soft and smooth, with a hint of an alluring fragrance.
Even the strong smell of blood on him couldn’t mask it.
At this moment, the young man obediently stayed in his arms, as if he belonged to him.
At least at this moment, the young man belonged to him.
Xie Xuanlan wished time could freeze at this moment, and he wished the young man in his arms could belong to him forever.
But he didn’t have much time left.
And this wasn’t a safe place either; the two brothers could come after them at any moment.
By then, it would be impossible to escape.
Reluctantly, Xie Xuanlan let go of Ruan Qing, gently wiping the dirt off his face as tenderly as before.
But this time, his hand felt weak, and he couldn’t clean it thoroughly anymore.
As his hands were covered in blood, wiping them on Ruan Qing’s face also left bloodstains on him.
Xie Xuanlan hesitated for a moment, withdrew his hand, gently pushed Ruan Qing, and then showed a weak and resigned smile, “Go.”
“Go... further away...”
“Next time... don’t... get caught again.”
Because next time, he might not be able to save him.
Ruan Qing’s expression showed no sadness, just a faint “oh,” as if he was perfunctorily comforting Xie Xuanlan.
Although Xie Xuanlan pressed his head, Ruan Qing still managed to examine him closely. Despite the wound on the chest being quite severe, it was mysteriously healing on its own.
It seemed like it wouldn’t kill Xie Xuanlan after all.
The only fatal thing was that Xie Xuanlan’s waist had been infected with the zombie virus.
But there’s only a hint of black there. It should take some time before complete mutation.
After confirming that Xie Xuanlan wouldn’t die for the time being, Ruan Qing turned to Jiang Shuyu. “Help me.”
Jiang Shuyu, hearing the voice, turned back blankly.
Ruan Qing lifted his fair chin slightly and pointed to the nearby car, “Bring the car over here.”
After saying that, Ruan Qing wanted to drag Xie Xuanlan towards the car.
However, his strength was too weak. He tried dragging several times but failed to move the other, only ending up with sweat beading on his forehead from the exertion.
Xie Xuanlan was directly stunned. He looked at the person struggling in front of him and weakly reminded, “Um... I... I’m infected with the zombie virus...”
Ruan Qing nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.
After nodding, he looked at Xie Xuanlan and asked softly, “Can you stand up on your own?”
“...I...I think so.” Xie Xuanlan was also somewhat uncertain, and even a little unresponsive.
Ruan Qing took a deep breath and put Xie Xuanlan’s arm over his shoulder, trying to support him with it.
As for the foot injury, he had already overlooked it.
Their combination was composed of both weak and injured individuals. If those two came chasing after them, neither would be able to escape.
Moreover, Ruan Qing was not sure about Ning Wang’s strength, nor how long he could drag those two.
Every second spent here was one more dangerous moment.
Seeing Ruan Qing trying to help him up, Xie Xuanlan’s eyes widened. He had felt like he was about to die, but Ruan Qing’s actions scared him back to life, giving him some strength and making his words stronger.
“I... I can do it myself.”
“Don’t move, don’t move.”
Xie Xuanlan hadn’t forgotten that this person’s foot was injured.
His own injury didn’t feel very painful, but looking at the young man’s foot injury, it seemed painful everywhere. He dared not let the young man help him.
Ruan Qing paused at the words and let go of Xie Xuanlan’s hand.
Xie Xuanlan himself tried to lift his body.
However, his injury was too severe, he couldn’t even get up, he tried several times but couldn’t succeed.
Ruan Qing looked around and picked up a tree branch not far away, handing it to Xie Xuanlan.
With the support, Xie Xuanlan improved significantly. He finally managed to prop himself up with the tree branch and slowly stood up, leaning against the big tree.
In fact, this side of the big tree was already a sidewalk, with a small step. However, Jiang Shuyu maneuvered the car around, avoiding the slight step, and drove onto the sidewalk from the other side.
The car was driven directly in front of the two.
Ruan Qing was still worrying about how to get Xie Xuanlan into the car when he saw Jiang Shuyu skillfully maneuvering. Impressed, he glanced at Jiang Shuyu with praise.
Jiang Shuyu felt a little embarrassed and scratched her head. She couldn’t help much, so she could only help in these ways.
The car was very close. Xie Xuanlan leaned against the car, exerting all his strength to move onto it with difficulty.
When he successfully sat in the car, his face was pale without a trace of blood, sweat dripping from his forehead, and more blood oozing from the wound on his chest.
His clothes were completely soaked.
Ruan Qing and Jiang Shuyu didn’t waste any time and immediately got into the car.
After getting into the car, Ruan Qing looked at Jiang Shuyu and said, “Go to the hospital.”
Jiang Shuyu frowned. “The hospital may not be able to help now.”
The apocalypse had arrived, and hospitals were definitely paralyzed as well.
That place still had a relatively dense population. Once it fell, it would definitely be very dangerous.
Ruan Qing carefully unbuttoned Xie Xuanlan’s clothes and said, without looking up, “I know a little about medicine.”
Although the wound on Xie Xuanlan’s chest wouldn’t immediately take his life, it was highly likely to accelerate the speed of infection by the zombie virus.
It had to be treated.
After observing for the past two days, Ruan Qing had begun to grasp what the mutation time after being infected with the zombie virus was roughly related to.
First, it was related to the severity of the wounds caused by the zombies. The more severe the wound, the faster the mutation.
Second, it was related to the degree of movement. It should be because movement accelerated blood circulation, which also increased the speed of virus infection.
Third, and the strangest point, it seemed to be related to a person’s thoughts.
The darker the thoughts after infection, it seemed that the speed of mutation would also accelerate.
Ruan Qing was somewhat puzzled by this point, but from his observations, it seemed to be true.
This felt somewhat like hypnosis, where the weaker the will, the easier it was to be hypnotized.
However, in medicine, the mindset was indeed very important, and it didn’t seem difficult to understand.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuyu no longer hesitated and immediately drove towards the nearest hospital.
Because of getting into the car, Xie Xuanlan had almost used up all his strength, even pulling on his wound fiercely, leaving him in pain.
When Xie Xuanlan finally came to his senses, he realized that Ruan Qing was unbuttoning his clothes.
Initially devoid of strength, Xie Xuanlan suddenly regained some, causing his heart to skip a beat.
Instinctively, he grabbed Ruan Qing’s hand, which was unbuttoning his shirt. His pale face flushed slightly. “What... what are you doing?”
Ruan Qing looked at Xie Xuanlan. “I just want to check your wound.”
Xie Xuanlan: “...Oh.”
Xie Xuanlan’s tone sounded somewhat complex, as if he was disappointed about something.
He released Ruan Qing’s hand, his body stiffening, allowing Ruan Qing to unbutton his shirt.
Seeing this, Ruan Qing furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “Relax a bit. It’s not good for your wound if you’re tense.”
Xie Xuanlan also wanted to relax, but he simply couldn’t.
The person he liked was so close, even unbuttoning his clothes. How could he possibly relax?
Xie Xuanlan pursed his lips tightly, turning his head away, inadvertently exposing his slightly flushed ears.
