The fat man lay on his side in the front row where four people sat, and with difficulty he tore open the bread wrapper in his hand and began to eat.
Due to an injury to his left hand, he could only eat with one hand, which seemed a bit difficult.
After finishing the bread, he raised the bottle of mineral water and drank it in big gulps.
After drinking the water, he held his injured arm, motionless, as if he had lost all his strength.
After Guo Liang distributed the food, he found a seat and sat down, eating in silence. From time to time, he looked in the direction of the base, but each time he quickly pursed his lips and lowered his head silently.
After Xue Yongjia finished his meal, he walked up to Fatty and asked with concern: "Fatty, are you okay?"
The fat man frowned, his face was as pale as paper, and sweat kept coming out of his forehead.
His arm had been broken for three days and the pain was unbearable. Moreover, they had no medicine and could only simply bandage it.
The fat man struggled to open his eyes and replied weakly: "It hurts... ugh... ah ah ah ah!"
Xue Yongjia's question made the fat man groan no longer able to hold back.
Xue Yongjia reached out and touched the fat man's forehead and frowned.
"It's a little hot. Could the wound be infected?" He was secretly worried and glanced at his broken arm. The blood on the wound had turned black, so he should re-bandage it.
There are no anti-inflammatory or painkillers here, no hemostatic medicine for external injuries, and the cloth used for bandaging is not clean, which might really lead to infection.
If this continues, the fat man may not survive today.
Xue Yongjia was thinking whether he should throw the fat man out to prevent him from turning into a zombie after death.
After all, he had never seen whether a person who died of illness would turn into a zombie. The people around him were either eaten by zombies directly, or starved to death and were eaten by people directly. They didn't have time to turn into zombies at all.
After looking around, they didn't have a rope to tie up the fat man.
Hey?
Xue Yongjia saw the driver's seat, which was a good one. Because they were afraid of a conflict between the passengers and the driver, the driver's seat was a single room with all-round shielding. Wouldn't it be perfect for the fat man to sit in it? That way he would definitely not be able to get out.
"Fatty, you have a high fever. It might be that the wound is infected. I'm not being harsh, but you may not survive today. I'm afraid that after you die, you will become a zombie and it will be bad for us. Can you..." Xue Yongjia said to the fat man sincerely.
However, before he could finish his words, Zhu Lili, who was listening beside him, couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted excitedly, "Will he turn into a zombie after he dies? Then let him get out and stay in another car. There's no need to stay here with so many cars. Otherwise, what if he bites us? He's so fat, who can beat him?"
Hearing this, Xue Yongjia suddenly felt annoyed. He glared at Zhu Lili fiercely and shouted, "Don't interrupt me, go pick your feet!"
He was fed up with this selfish woman who didn't know how to be united. If he hadn't thought about sleeping with her when he had nothing to do, he would have eaten her up long ago.
In the current environment, an ordinary person cannot survive on his own. There are zombies and monsters everywhere, and now there are plant mutations. We also have to worry about people's hearts! People's hearts are worse than monsters!
So it is too tiring for a person to live. People need rest. It is impossible to be alert for 24 hours a day without sleep. One will not live long like that.
He is not afraid that his teammates may have ulterior motives, but he cannot kick people out when something happens. What if he comes back injured?
"I'm not going to interrupt. Why should I interrupt? Interrupt you? He's very dangerous! Do you want to die? Can you ..."
"Then you go by yourself?"
Xue Yongjia suddenly interrupted her. To Xue Yongjia, the fat man was much more valuable than Zhu Lili.
Once Fatty recovers, he will be a formidable fighting force, and Zhu Lili will be just a useful tool at best.
"I just farted!"
Hearing this, Zhu Lili's face instantly turned gloomy. She glared at the fat man fiercely, then turned around and ran to the back of the car and sat down, keeping a distance from the fat man.
When she passed by Guo Liang, she complained in a low voice: "Why don't you say something for me!"
Guo Liang looked at her as if he had just woken up from a dream, and asked in confusion, "What did you say?"
Seeing that he was in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking, Zhu Lili replied unhappily: "She said I'm beautiful!"
Guo Liang looked her up and down very seriously and commented in a matter-of-fact manner: "Your figure is indeed excellent, but your appearance is only average, right?"
Zhu Lili was so angry at his serious look that she almost vomited blood. She closed her eyes and muttered to herself, "Damn! I'm so mad! I'll spit you out!"
After saying that, he lay down on the seat to rest. His chest rose and fell when he breathed, and it seemed that he was out of breath very badly.
The fat man looked very bad, and he was shaking all over with pain while holding his arm. He thought Xue Yongjia was here to chase him away, and he would die without a team in his current state.
The fat man lowered his head, his eyes moving back and forth as he thought about something. If they didn't keep him, he would have somewhere to go.
"I don't mean to chase you away. I mean, you can go sit in the cab. There's a barrier in the cab, so even if you get into an accident, we'll all be safe."
Seeing that he was thinking about something with his head down, Xue Yongjia was afraid that he might overthink and misunderstand, which would create a rift between them, so he took the initiative to tell them his purpose.
The fat man looked up in surprise and saw that Xue Yongjia looked serious and didn't seem to be lying to him. He turned around and glanced at the cab. The sealed space was indeed safe for everyone.
The fat man's guard decreased a little, he turned his head and stared into Xue Yongjia's eyes. Xue Yongjia did not avoid it, waiting for the fat man's decision. The fat man should know the consequences, if he disagreed, he would be kicked out. The doomsday has been going on for so long, no one would take their own life lightly.
The fat man opened his mouth and said hoarsely: "Okay, I'll go to the cab, can you do me a favor?"
"What's the deal?"
Xue Yongjia asked with a surprised look in his eyes.
The fat man stood up by holding the seat with his good hand, bent down and looked into the distance through the glass. There were parking spaces nearby, which were usually resting places for people searching for supplies, so there were vehicles everywhere.
"Well, there's a Wuling van parked about a hundred meters from here. I put some medicine and food there. Please help me get them back. I need to take medicine. The remaining medicine can be kept by the team as a backup. The food should also be distributed equally."
After the fat man finished speaking, he reached into his trouser pocket, took out a key, handed it to Xue Yongjia, looked at him, and added, "There are a lot of things..."
Looking in the direction the fat man pointed, there was indeed a van farther away from the base.
Medicinal materials and food were very important in the apocalypse.
This might be what the fat man prepared.
However, they were penniless and those supplies were indeed useful.
The fat man could say it because he was really sincere in joining the team, or maybe he was just trying to take a gamble to stay alive.
