death to survive

Everyone stared at the moving shutter cover with bated breath, the window cover was also pried open under everyone's attention, fell straight from the top, and landed on the hospital bed directly below, a shadow quickly flipped through the vent. Stepped out, jumped onto the bed steadily, raised his head and saw Yang Yihang standing in front, and was stunned: "Brother Yang? Why are you here?"

After Yang Yihang saw the appearance of the person who jumped out of the vent, he showed a surprised expression on his face. The man in front of him who was also wearing a camouflage military uniform was someone he had not been familiar with for a long time.

"Ning Jiang, are you here? Then, where is my brother?"

Mentioned Yang Yihang's younger brother Yang Zhi, a skinny man called Ning Jiang by Yang Yihang, lowered his head silently, with guilt in his tone, he opened his mouth and said to Yang Yihang: "He is still in the intensive care room on the fourth floor..."

"Is he okay?" As long as Ning Jiang didn't hear the news that Yang Zhi had died, this would be the best news and surprise for Yang Yihang.

Clasping his hands nervously, Ning Jiang got off the bed and stood in front of Yang Yihang, with a respectful and reserved expression.When talking about Yang Zhi's condition, he shook his head and replied: "His condition is not very optimistic. After being hit by a car, he was sent to the hospital several times and had to sign a critical illness notice. He was also hit with multiple fractures, and his body was still bleeding profusely... It was hard for him to stabilize, but suddenly zombies broke out in the hospital, those doctors and nurses either died or escaped, and now I am the only one here to take care of him..."

"Then how is he doing now?" Shen Fang, a medical student, asked the patient's condition with concern.

"you are?"

"She is a student of the medical school, please tell her the specific situation." Xiang Ningjiang introduced several other people, and Yang Yihang urgently wanted to know how his younger brother was doing now.

"He can't move his whole body now. Many steel nails and iron plates are used to fix the broken bones, and he can't move casually to prevent his bones from spreading out and stabbing internal organs. In addition, his body must be maintained by instruments. Life, fortunately, the instruments here have automatic generators, and now the whole hospital can continue to operate due to a power outage, otherwise it would be very difficult to maintain. Now he has to go through a dangerous period of several days before he can escape from those instruments. Fearing that the zombies would attack, I blocked the doors on the upper and lower floors. I couldn’t find anything to eat upstairs these days, so I had to venture down to find something to eat before going back.”

"Who is the younger brother of you and Yang Yihang?" Qiao Feiyu was curious about how this young soldier dared to guard Yang Zhi, who was immobile and had to be taken care of, by himself at such a dangerous time.

"Yang Zhi and I went to the military academy together, and we have always been comrades in the same class. We are the strongest brothers. At that time, if I had seen something wrong with him and kept an eye on him, he might not have made such a move. A car accident... So, I can no longer ignore my brother. I will stay in the hospital and take good care of him." Thinking of Yang Zhi, who was originally healthy and strong, but now he can only lie on the hospital bed and rely on equipment to survive, Ning Jiang It's hard to hide the feeling of guilt and self-blame, suffering from my own carelessness at that time.

"You were the one who went to the mall to pick up Yang Zhi?" At first, he wondered why his car hadn't been driven away by his younger brother, but he finally figured it out when he saw Ning Jiang nodding his head.

Ning Jiang nodded and replied: "At that time, I went to rescue the trapped people. I wanted to follow, but Yang Zhi persuaded me to stay in the army and help you keep watch, and didn't let me go with you. Later I found out that the above The leader seemed to be a little aware of your departure, so he hurried to find you by car, just in time to pick up Yang Zhi who had just come out of the mall."

Then why didn't you come back to support?Why was his brother inexplicably hit by a car?Why did all this happen?Yang Yihang opened his mouth, wanting to express all the doubts in his heart.

As if seeing the question on Yang Yihang's face, Ning Jiang just smiled bitterly, lowered his head, sighed and said slowly: "You can ask Yang Zhi yourself about these things later, I... really don't know how to say it, oh ..." Sighing deeply again, the expression on Ning Jiang's face was full of suppressed pain and depression.

Listening to Ning Jiang's hesitant words, everyone became even more curious about what happened, which made Yang Zhi so shocked that he didn't pay attention to the cars on the road, and why he especially warned them not to go out from Dongjiangkou.Following the guiding route and taking them back to Ningjiang on the fourth floor, everyone dragged a stool from the side to put it on the bed, stepped on it and climbed into the narrow ventilation opening one by one.

Although the vent is relatively large, it is still a bit difficult for a group of old men to crawl inside. Ning Jiang's dry body can crawl inside with ease.But several other men of normal stature would have to get stuck walking through it. Crawling in this square, dark and narrow passage is very easy to cause claustrophobia.

Trying to squeeze out his right hand to wipe off the dust that just fell from the wall onto his cheek, Wang Yang followed the person in front of him and crawled in the dark ventilation duct.I just feel that the air vents around me seem to be getting narrower and narrower, and I have to crawl to the back to move forward.

His chest was oppressed by the passages surrounded on all sides, but at this moment Wang Yang suddenly had the leisure to talk to Qiao Feiyu who was crawling behind him: "Hey, the one named Qiao at the back."

Qiao Feiyu followed behind Wang Yang, crawling with his head buried and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Do you know? The more you are in such a narrow and dark passage, the easier it is to stimulate people's tension. If you take a deep breath more nervously at this time, you will be more likely to be stuck in the passage, unable to go up or down. It is possible to be suffocated to death. So, remember to breathe easily and calmly."

Qiao Feiyu from behind heard the words, dripping sweat from the forehead, and replied with a wry smile: "Uh, thank you." Without Wang Yang's reminder, I didn't know how to pay attention to my breathing before, but he reminded me like this Instead, Qiao Feiyu paid more attention to his breathing, panting even harder, and it was really possible that he was almost trapped by the narrow passages around him and couldn't move.

This is the same as warning you not to look back at the lights behind you, but instead you pay special attention to looking behind...

Just when everyone thought they would be trapped to death by this endless, narrow and twisted passage, Ning Jiang said: "Here we are." Like the sound of heaven, the gospel came, and the light flickered in everyone's tired eyes again.

Ning Jiang, who was crawling at the front, pushed aside the shutter guardrail on one side and rolled out of the passage.

He stretched out his hand to support Shen Fang who didn't dare to jump down directly, and looked around the situation. Compared with the three floors below, the fourth floor was really much quieter.As soon as Yang Yihang fell to the ground, he hurriedly asked Ning Jiang: "Where is my brother?"

"Oh, he's in that room." Outside the room with the vent they turned out, Ning Jiang pointed at the door to the second room on the left of the front passage, which was next to the door of the ICU (402).

"I won't go in, just smoke a cigarette here, you go in, he should still be awake and not asleep." Walking to the corner next to the wall, Ning Jiang stopped, with a face full of thoughts, like He didn't want to face anything, so after saying hello to everyone, he squatted on the ground beside him, took out a cigarette from his pocket, buried his head and started smoking.

Seeing other people smoking also aroused Wang Yang's craving for cigarettes. He touched his pockets and found that the cigarettes had already been emptied and there was nothing left.Hey, forget it, now I still have to see patients, it doesn't matter if I don't smoke.Depressedly comforting himself, Wang Yang followed Yang Yihang who eagerly opened the door and entered the intensive care unit.
