Chapter 34 The Right to Die
Chapter 34 The Right to Death
Because of the high latitude, the dark nights in Alaska in summer are also long. When dawn comes, the zombies reluctantly stop attacking and hide in the darkness. Ye Zhiqiu was covered in blood, holding a military bayonet that was still dripping blood in his hand, and stood on the edge of the platform and gasping for breath. When he finally stepped back to the platform, he realized that the bullets might not support it before dawn, so he immediately asked the soldiers to save ammunition when shooting. He even abandoned the gun and ran back and forth on the edge of the roof, throwing the zombies that had climbed up. Although the height of the small building was not enough, the height of the small building was insufficient.
It was enough to make the zombies crushed to pieces, but it was enough for them to never climb up again. But before dawn, what he was most worried about still happened. Many people used up bullets, and the tight supply of ammunition caused chaos in the defense on the roof. People had to fight face to face with the zombies climbing to the roof. The lack of light and tension increased the gap between normal people and zombies' combat power. People were constantly hurt. Ye Zhiqiu had to rescue everywhere like a fire brigade leader. If the sunlight appeared a little later, even he might collapse.
A gunshot came from behind again, which was the sound of Glock's pistol. Ye Zhiqiu paused, and Sam beside him gasped and said, "How many are they?"
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at him, turned around silently, and walked towards the place where the gunshots sounded. There was a sparsely standing people. Nicole stood there in a daze, holding a pistol in his hand, and the drooping muzzle was still emitting a faint smoke. At her feet, a man was lying there, with a delicate bullet hole in the middle of his forehead, and blood was pouring out from behind his head, flowing along the concrete floor on the rooftop. In the pool of blood, a few strands of fallen hair slowly floated. On his naked arms, there was a hideous wound. The obvious tooth marks around the wound indicate that it was caused by biting. Under the ventilation hole on the rooftop of the corpse, there were also several corpses side by side. They were also shot on their heads, and there were more or less bitten marks on their bodies.
Not far from these corpses, there were seven or eight people sitting or lying there. The people around them were consciously far away from them, and they also had some scars on their bodies. The difference was that they had not been injured for a long time and were still awake. However, they themselves knew that soon, they would fall into a coma, and then stop breathing after forty minutes to an hour or start to fall out of hair, becoming new zombies.
A sitting man suddenly moved and stood up suddenly. This action attracted everyone's attention. Nicole raised his head and watched him walk towards her. The man staggeredly walked a few steps, came to Nicole, slowly knelt down, looked up at her and said, "Doctor, I don't want to wait anymore, kill me."
No one spoke, everyone turned their eyes to Nicole. Nicole lowered her head and said slowly: "I should not give up hope."
The man smiled bitterly, looked up at her eyes, and asked, "Is there still hope?"
Nicole didn't dare to look at his eyes, turned around and looked around, just in time to see Ye Zhiqiu. She hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I think there should be."
The man shook his head, pointed at the bodies and said loudly, "So why didn't they wait?"
Ni looked at Ye Zhiqiu with help, and Ye Zhiqiu shook her head. So far, there has been no record of anyone surviving after being bitten by zombies. Even Ye Zhiqiu, who was suspected of having antibodies, had never had such experience. If Ye Zhiqiu made the decision, he would support the man's request, but for Nicole, this was too cruel. But is it really more cruel to kill him directly than to let him wait for the coming of death?
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu shook his head, Nicole hesitated for a moment, and was about to persuade this person again, someone suddenly screamed: "Daiwen fainted." Nicole was shocked. Daiwen was also bitten in the battle, but he supported him for a long time, and later than him, many people who were bitten had already become ill. Originally, Ni could have hoped for him to survive, but he finally fell into a coma.
Just as she was lost, the man kneeling in front of her suddenly jumped up and snatched the pistol in her hand. Seeing this scene, many people screamed, and those with guns in their hands raised their guns and pointed them at him. This person was not brought from Anchorage, and the soldiers shot him without psychological barriers.
Ye Zhiqiu's hand shook, and finally did not throw the bayonet in his hand. He just stood there and looked at him silently. This person was not a soldier under his command, but when many civilians were trembling with their heads, he chose to stand up and fight with the soldiers. However, it was obvious that he not only lacked training, but also lacked luck. Or he also proved that sentence from another aspect - brave people always die quickly.
Nicole was pushed away by the man a few steps, and after standing firmly, she found that the gun in her hand had been taken away by him. She was surprised and not very panicked. Over such a long time, she had seen too many deaths and understood what the human reaction was like when death came. She frowned slightly and said softly: "You have the courage to fight face to face with the zombies. Don't you have the courage to believe in hope?"
The man held the gun nervously, and the muzzle was wandering. Nicole kept caring for the wounded on the roof, not afraid of being infected. This behavior won the respect of most people who were not familiar with her, so the man did not want to point the gun at her. Hearing her words, he murmured: "That's different, that's different..." As he said that, he raised his hand and pulled the gun to his head.
Nicole closed her eyes, listened to the sound of Glock's pistol falling to the ground in her ears, turned her head to Ye Zhiqiu and said angrily: "Why don't you stop him?"
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, thinking how to stop it? Shoot his head with a saber? In this way, there seemed to be no profit to be seen except saving a bullet. He looked around, but found that everyone around him looked at him with a very agreeable look. No one seemed to realize that Nicole's accusations were unreasonable. In fact, after this tragic night, many people thought that he should be omnipotent.
Unable to find the sympathizer, Ye Zhiqiu had to spread his hands to Nicole: "I can deprive me of my right to live, at least I have to leave the one I die, right?" After that, he turned slowly and looked around. Not far away, the living area was igniting with the smoke. The man was about to vomit.
