"Can you hold on?" Chun Cao asked without looking back.

After a few hours of intense delivery, Doctor Zheng was on the verge of collapsing. Now, he was carrying a crying baby in his arms and carrying a woman who was barely breathing on his back. The heavy weight seemed to have given him endless courage as he said affirmatively, "Yes!"

Sinan whispered, "Be careful. Let's go upstairs."

Chun Cao took the lead, the doctor was in the middle, and Sinan was at the back. They tried their best to move to the higher floors while the zombies went up from the first floor to the third floor.

However, even if they tried their best, the survival team still had no speed. The dragging footsteps of the zombies downstairs were getting closer and closer. Finally, a scream came from the corner at the end of the corridor. The zombies were catching up!

Sinan shouted, "Fire!"

Chun Cao suddenly turned back, aimed, and pulled the trigger at the same time.

Dr. Cheng was a civilian in a peaceful era. He was scared by the sudden rain of bullets and screamed. In a trance, he felt that someone was pulling him hard. However, in such a dark environment where bullets were flying, he couldn't even tell whether it was a human or a zombie. He could only subconsciously protect the baby.

"Run!

Run! Run! Run! "After a few seconds, he finally heard someone roaring in his ear. It was Chun Cao," Stairs!

Go upstairs! "

Dr. Cheng ran forward with the mother on his back. Chun Cao and Sinan suppressed the zombies with high firepower while dragging him to the stairs.

However, when they were about to go upstairs, Chun Cao suddenly shouted in a different tone, "There are zombies here too!

Be careful! "

Sinan stood in the corridor, shooting at the zombies on this floor while glancing at the lower stairs on the left.

Under the illumination of the muzzle flashes, another group of zombies was howling as they staggered up the stairs!

The situation suddenly became a pincer attack, which was extremely unlucky.

Sinan turned the muzzle to shoot downstairs and formed a defensive posture with Chun Cao back to back. She ordered Dr. Cheng without looking back, "Go!

Run upstairs! "

However, Doctor Cheng was carrying a child on his back. Gunshots rang out in front of him, and bullet shells flew in the dark. He was not young anymore, and he almost tripped after running for a few steps. He almost fell down the stairs.

Wang Wen tried her best to open her eyes.

It was obviously very dark, but she could still see her daughter's face with the help of the gunfire behind her and a ray of moonlight that came from nowhere.

The baby was so small and delicate. His face was flushed red, and he kept wailing and struggling.

She laughed and tried to reach out her hand.

This is my baby's little face.

This is my precious little hand.

That's my baby's leg. It's kicking so hard.

Nice, she thought.

My baby will definitely grow up to be very strong, unlike her useless mother, who is about to die, but still has to drag down so many capable and kind people in the world.

Doctor Cheng grabbed the handrail and barely managed to climb up the last step. Before he could steady himself, he suddenly felt a cold hand patting his back.

That was actually a little scary, but at this critical moment, he didn't even have time to react. He heard Wang Wen's hoarse and weak voice close to his ear. She said two words.

"Run."

Then, he felt the weight on his back lighten. Wang Wen actually struggled down the stairs.

"Don't —" Doctor Cheng realized something, and he instantly lost his voice and roared. He saw the black shadow tilting and jumping down the handrail that was half a person's height. He fell straight down!

Spring Grass jerked her head back. "No!!"

With a loud bang, Wang Wen fell heavily into the crowd of zombies!

The fresh blood and flesh blocked the zombies that were swarming up the stairs. Spring Grass and Doctor Cheng were both stunned.

"… Run, run," Sinan roared in a trembling voice. "Don't look, run —!"

After a short half second of freezing, the three of them rolled and crawled. They took advantage of the gap between the zombies and rushed up the stairs in a spurt of energy!

The dormitory had a total of ten floors. Doctor Cheng staggered up the stairs with the baby in his arms. Sinan and Spring Grass almost ran on his left and right. They quickly reached the top.

After all, zombies were not as fast as living people. When they reached the top floor, they could barely hear the footsteps of the zombies. Only the hollow howls resounded from all directions, echoing in the stairwell for a long time.

The top floor was probably the dormitory of the former manager of the fertilizer factory. There was an iron door that blocked the corridor.

Sinan shot the lock and let Doctor Cheng and Spring Grass go up first. Then, she quickly moved the debris in the stairwell and tried to block the iron door as much as possible.

"Sinan, quick!

This way! "

Spring Grass opened the door of a dormitory in the middle of the corridor. It was a large suite with a sofa and a potted plant.

Doctor Cheng collapsed as soon as he entered the room. He held the baby and collapsed on the ground. He didn't even have the strength to get up.

Sinan locked the door from the inside. Together with Spring Grass, they pushed the sofa, furniture and other things and blocked the door in a mess.

"Wah … Wah …"

After it quieted down, the baby's crying became more obvious. Before Doctor Cheng could comfort the baby, Spring Grass sat on the ground and couldn't hold back her tears. "Why did she jump?"

Sinan sat in the corner, panting heavily and covering her eyes.

"Why did she want to die?

She just gave birth to the baby. How could she have the heart to do that? "

The baby seemed to be infected with the sadness and despair of the adults. She kept waving her hands and kicking her feet, crying herself hoarse.

Spring Grass held the baby tightly in her arms. She was very sad. "We were willing to protect her. Why did she want to die?

Maybe she can still live. It's not the time to be desperate! "

Doctor Cheng covered his face with his shoulders shaking. After a while, he raised his tear-streaked face and sighed.

"If the zombies come up later, I … I'll distract them. You take the baby and run.

You're soldiers. You're more useful than an ordinary person like me. You have a better chance of survival … "

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Spring Grass fiercely refuted. "You're a doctor. There are more people who need you. Do you know that?!"

Doctor Cheng said dejectedly, "I'm a useless doctor. If I helped her give birth faster, if I carried her faster, this wouldn't have happened.

In the end, it's because I'm useless. I … "

"Don't you think I deserve to die?" Sinan suddenly said coldly in the corner. "I'm nothing. I'm just a volunteer."

Doctor Cheng and Spring Grass stopped her at the same time. "Shut up!"

"That's why don't you say something like that until the end. Maybe Zhou Rong will come to pick us up later." Sinan sighed and reminded them. "Hurry up and calm the baby down."

"Will Captain Zhou really come back in this situation where there are so many zombies?"

Doctor Cheng's lips moved, but he didn't ask this question. Then his attention was attracted by the baby who was crying loudly.

It was a good thing that a premature baby at 32 weeks could cry so loudly. However, zombies retained their basic biological instincts. They would chase after the sound and smell of blood. If the baby kept crying like this, they would be attracted sooner or later.

A large group of zombies could knock down the iron door on the ground floor. How long could the debris in the stairwell and the locked door stop them?

Once the zombies chased after the sound, the three of them and the baby would definitely be killed!

Doctor Cheng was anxious. He took the baby from Spring Grass and paced back and forth with her in his arms. He kept whispering to her, "Good girl, good girl. Don't cry. Sleep. Sleep. Be good …"

However, the baby didn't have a sip of milk. The more he coaxed her, the more hoarse she cried. She almost stopped breathing.

She was such a small baby. He couldn't stop her from crying. Covering her mouth would definitely suffocate her. Doctor Cheng's whole body trembled. He was in a dilemma.

"They're coming up." Sinan put her ear to the floor and raised her head.

"Wah wah … Wah wah wah …"

The baby's rapid cries became a death knell for everyone. Doctor Cheng and Spring Grass looked at each other. The situation was getting more and more urgent as time passed.

"Give it to me," Sinan said.

Doctor Cheng asked without thinking, "What are you doing?!"

Sinan pulled down the bed sheet and tore it into strips. She tied the baby to her chest and tied a dead knot. Then she opened the window and looked down.

The open space in front of the dormitory building was densely packed with zombies. It was impossible to see how many there were.

In the distance, the entire factory area had become a sea of zombies. There were at least tens of thousands of them, and they were still rushing to the south.

Sinan turned her head and looked up. Above the window was a drainage pipe, and above that was the protruding roof.

"It's … It's too dangerous …" Doctor Cheng said with a trembling voice.

Sinan tightened the shoulder strap of the gun and fixed the submachine gun on her back. She spat into her palms and rubbed her hands.

"Stay in the room. Don't make a sound. Spring Grass, take care of the doctor." She ordered simply, "Everyone, wait for Zhou Ronghui to come and save us."

Then, under the nervous gaze of Spring Grass and the doctor, half of his body leaned out of the window. He hooked his arm and grabbed the drainage pipe. He tested the load and suddenly pulled himself up.

Doctor Cheng said, "Ah!" Then he immediately covered his mouth.

Spring Grass leaned out of the window, ready to reach out and save the baby.

However, Sinan twisted his waist and bent sideways. With excellent flexibility, he hooked onto the railing of the roof. Then he supported himself with one foot. His movements were as beautiful as a gymnast's. He grabbed the drainage pipe on the window and leaped up!

Bang!

He grabbed the railing of the rooftop and leaped up!

For a moment, he and the baby were completely in the air. The only support they had was their ankles hooked onto the railing.

Spring Grass's heart almost stopped beating until Sinan's voice came from above, "Done!" She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be afraid!" Sinan stood on the roof and shouted, "Close the door. Don't make a sound!"

The baby cried so hard in his arms that she couldn't breathe. Si Nan didn't know how to comfort her, so he just rubbed her belly politely with two fingers and strode to the skylight, the only passage between the top floor and the roof.

The skylight was covered with wooden planks. After the planks were lifted, there was a wooden ladder. The workers' dormitory facilities were old. Usually, the cleaners used this wooden ladder to go up and down.

The zombies kept pouring into the building. They were already very close to the floor where they were.

The baby's loud cry was like a signal to start a meal. More and more zombies rushed upstairs. They staggered toward the wooden ladder, smelling rotten and bloody.

Sinan picked up the submachine gun. The moment before he pulled the trigger, he suddenly thought of something. He tore off the corner of his clothes, rolled it into two small balls, and carefully stuffed them into the baby's ears. Then he shot and broke the ladder.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The zombies were hit by the two wooden ladders. They roared unwillingly and desperately waved their hands upward.

Sinan slammed the planks under the stare of the zombies and was relieved.

Fortunately, the old-fashioned building was really outdated. He just noticed that there was no safety ladder in the corridor to the roof. Otherwise, unless he strangled the baby, everyone would be dead today.

It was already 4: 30 in the morning, the darkest time before dawn. The moon was in the west sky, the stars were hidden, and the earth was like an abyss with a bloody mouth.

Sinan shivered because of the cold. He looked at the multi-function military watch. It was -6 degrees Celsius.

The baby didn't have thick swaddling clothes. Her face was blue because of the cold, and her cries were much weaker.

He held the baby and found a corner to sit down. He tried to curl up his body and put the baby's small body between his chest and abdomen. He hugged the baby with his arms and tried to maintain the fragile life in his arms with his body temperature.

At 32 weeks, the functions of the stomach, heart, and lungs were not fully developed. She had experienced so many difficulties since birth. It was really hard to imagine whether she could survive.

"You have to live," Sinan murmured, "Your mother is watching us from the sky."

He glanced at the baby's soft hair on the top of her head and thought that the girl might be hungry. But he didn't dare to ask Doctor Cheng downstairs. He was afraid that they would attract the zombies if they made a sound.

After thinking for a long time, he didn't have any good ideas. It was really difficult to cook without rice. He licked his ring finger as a simple disinfectant and then gave it to the baby to suck as a pacifier.

The newborn baby had a very strong survival instinct. She really sucked twice, but nothing came out. She felt cheated. "Wah!" She cried even harder.

"Oh my god," Sinan thought, "this little girl is quite picky."

He made up his mind. He bit his index finger, squeezed out some blood, and fed it to the baby again.

This time, there was warm liquid. The baby's little mouth moved and sucked twice. She cried again, "Wah …" But her cries seemed to be quieter. At least, it wasn't as heart-wrenching as before.

Sinan didn't have any other ideas. He could only pray for the girl's digestive system while he continued to squeeze blood.

Soon, he couldn't squeeze out any more blood from his ring finger. He switched to his little finger, and then to the ring finger of his other hand. The baby sobbed and bit on his fingertip, as if she was sucking her mother's milk. Gradually, she quieted down and became somewhat docile.

Blood was nutritious, so it should be able to withstand hunger for a while. But it definitely wouldn't work if he kept feeding her.

Sinan was worried that the bacteria on his hand would cause gastroenteritis. Every time he fed her, he would carefully lick his finger clean. As a result, his mouth was full of the smell of gunpowder.

It was 5: 30 in the morning.

The night was a little lighter, and the sky was a little darker.

Looking down from the top of the building, the mountain of corpses and the sea of corpses from last night were a little clearer. The hazy outline of the devastated factory area could be seen.

Sinan was a little dizzy. He shuddered and pressed the baby closer to his chest.

Would Zhou Rong come back?

In fact, he wasn't very sure.

Zhou Rong's motive for coming back was untenable, but there were many reasons why he wouldn't come back.

He had to send the anti-virus data and serum to the South China Sea. He had to lead his team to ensure the safety of the two trucks of survivors. He was the captain of the Special Forces. If he survived, he could save more people. To put it bluntly, anyone with half a brain wouldn't have come back.

But he was Zhou Rong.

He was the arrogant and overbearing Zhou Rong who carried hope forward in this dark world. Everyone in the team obeyed him with their lives.

Sinan exhaled a long breath and looked up into the distance. His eyes wandered aimlessly in the sea of zombies.

This was the countless times he had repeated this action in the past hour. But this time, his eyes suddenly stopped.

At the end of the road in the distance, the bright lights of a car suddenly flashed. With the roar of the engine, it approached from afar.

The zombies didn't have time to dodge and were twisted into the chassis. Rotten flesh and broken bones paved the road behind the car as far as the eye could see.

The front of the car pointed directly at the fertilizer factory island in the vast sea of corpses. Then the car window rolled down, and a black shoulder mortar poked out.

Boom!

Wherever the shell went, the zombies exploded. Countless zombies were torn apart and thrown into the air.

The fire was like a gorgeous firework blooming in the night, pushing forward against the overwhelming tide of zombies.

Smoke filled the air. The car lights were like a sharp blade from the end of the night, splitting the sea of death and flesh. It was invincible between heaven and earth.
