Zombies take me as air

Chapter 310 Patient
"A patient." Meng Boyi frowned slightly, looking a little embarrassed: "He has some mental problems. After coming to the camp, he beat people randomly and has a serious tendency to violence. We don't have a psychiatrist here, so we can only lock him up."

"Can he help us find the half-corpse headquarters?" Kong Qi asked.

"He may have escaped from the headquarters you mentioned, and he is the only survivor."

"Oh?"

"Even though he's mentally insane and always talking nonsense, there's some real information mixed in with his crazy talk."

The patient was picked up by Meng Boyi herself. At that time, the city wall of the camp had not yet been completed, and she took people out every day to patrol the surrounding area.

One day she picked up a man on the road, who was unconscious, and there were a few vultures standing beside him, waiting for him to die.

Seeing that the man was still angry, Meng Boyi took him back to the camp. This man was also lucky, there were no wolves or other wild animals around at that time.

When the man woke up, he first beat the doctor who was treating him until his nostrils were bleeding, and then beat the male nurse in the hospital until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Thanks to the alertness of the head nurse, he was anesthetized/drunk/needled.

If it weren't for the head nurse's ability to throw 'darts', I am afraid that more people will be injured.

Meng Boyi got the news and sent someone to tie him up.

This person's strength is not so great, ordinary ropes can't be tied, and finally he was tied with iron chains.

None of the survivors in the entire camp had contact with this kind of patient, and they didn't know what to do with him.

He indiscriminately attacked those who approached him, and he had to use a long bamboo pole to deliver food in front of him.

As long as someone is within three meters of him, he will immediately become manic and violent.

He was only quiet when no one was around, muttering to himself and talking crazy things.

Meng Boyi didn't know how to help this person. There was no professional psychiatrist, and he couldn't be driven away, so he could only be locked up.

This person must not have been crazy before the disaster, and it is unlikely that he was in the early days after the disaster.

Meng Boyi visited him a few times, quietly listening to his crazy words, and there was some 'normal information' in it.

"He said repeatedly that he didn't want to become a monster or eat his brains," Meng Boyi recalled.

"Half-corpse man?! He refuses to become a half-corpse man!" Kong Qi immediately understood the meaning of these words, because zombies don't choose where to bite people, only half-corpse man eats human brains and does not eat other parts.

"I guess it's the same. When he goes crazy, he will yell to let him go out. When he is emotional, he will say "run away, run away, run away."

"So you guessed, he escaped from the half-corpse."

"Well, the doctor checked his body when he was unconscious. There were several whip wounds and wounds from sticks, but there was no blood, otherwise the wolf would have been attracted."

Meng Boyi guessed that this person had been locked up somewhere, had been beaten, and somehow escaped.

The coma was exhausting, God knows how far and how long he had run.

And Meng Boyi had never found a half-corpse camp within a thousand miles.

"It is impossible for a mentally disturbed person to run thousands of miles alone without being bitten by wild beasts. The place where he escaped may not be far from here. Since there is no such thing on the ground, it must be underground."

Meng Boyi sighed after finishing speaking: "But I haven't found that place, and I'm thinking it's a hidden danger."

Just because the half-corpse people didn't show up again, it was even more difficult for her to keep track of their whereabouts.

"I also thought about letting this person lead the way, but in his current state..."

"It's really difficult." Kong Qi was also in trouble. She and Lu Xiangbei also had no experience in dealing with mental patients.

She reckoned that this person was frightened crazy and was strongly stimulated in the half-corpse man's camp.

She knew quite well about the half-corpse man's stronghold, the scene inside was like a purgatory on earth, she was not surprised that someone was scared crazy.

However, this person was able to escape, but she was very surprised. Someone in the half-corpse had a gun, and this person only had minor injuries. How did he break through the defense of the half-corpse and escape?

"I guess they have a secret underground passage." Meng Boyi said: "When I found him, his palms were covered with mud, and his pants were torn at the knees."

Meng Boyi wanted to say that this person crawled out from a place where he couldn't stand upright.

Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei understood, if there really was such a secret passage in the half-corpse man's headquarters, it would also explain why this man was not killed or injured by the guards when he fled.

Because the half-corpse man doesn't know the existence of this secret passage!
But even if there is a secret passage, how can a mentally disturbed person escape alone?

"Don't you have it, let it try." Meng Boyi looked at the mighty big dog sitting at Kong Qi's feet.

The second donkey followed her outside, and did not take it back after entering the camp.

It's just that the second donkey knows when to keep a low profile and enter the crowd, and it silently follows Kong Qi, or squats behind her, very quiet without saying a word.

Everyone thought it was her pet, and at most they cast two curious eyes.

There are many people who like to keep dogs, but not many people keep dogs after disasters.

The reason is very simple, I can't get enough to eat, so there is nothing for the dog to eat.

Even if someone would rather starve himself than give the dogs what little rations they have, the chances of them surviving are not high.

When encountering ferocious and powerful beasts in the wild, domestic dogs cannot beat them. If they do not leave their masters and run away, they will die.

They are even more afraid of zombies than beasts when they encounter zombies. When zombies appear, they run away faster, or they are scared to pee and wait to die.

Their owners themselves are hard to protect, and there are very few who can keep them.

Therefore, the survivors acquiesce that those who can keep a pet dog after the disaster are strong.

These strong people don't need to live in groups, they can survive alone in the wild.

"It must not be an ordinary pet. It is said that dogs have a keen sense of smell. The patient hasn't changed his clothes or bathed since I picked him up."

Meng Boyi took a few glances at the second donkey. The dog was majestic, but his eyes were as calm as water. The impression he left on her was that he was a tough guy who was 'calm and restrained'.

She looked at it, and it looked at her. As long as her eyes did not move away, it would not move away, and kept looking at her.

That look seemed to ask 'what's the matter'?
"It's worth a try." Kong Qi held Lu Xiangbei's hand, a little delighted.

The patient crawled out of the secret passage, and his trousers and nails were stained with mud from the tunnel. Perhaps the second donkey could smell it, and followed the smell to find the secret passage.

"Let's try." Lu Xiangbei shook her hand back, happy in his heart.

Meng Boyi looked at her watch, there was still some time before dinner, so she got up and said, "Let's go now, I will take you to meet that person."

"Let's go." Kong Qila landed and stood up to the north, and the second donkey also stood up and followed her quietly.

There is no psychiatric hospital in the camp, and Meng Boyi locked her in a double ward in the hospital.

One bed was pushed away, leaving only one bed in the room, but the patient didn't seem to like lying on the bed.

When Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei were standing outside the door of the ward, the man was sitting on the ground.

An iron chain was tied around his waist, and the other end of the iron chain was nailed into the ground, which restricted his range of movement, and he couldn't walk to the door.

His hands and feet can move, and they are bound in this way to make it easier for him to eat.

As long as no one is near him, eating and going to the bathroom are fine.

And Meng Boyi said that this person can't stay in a place without windows or light, it will drive him crazy.

Whether it is sunlight or moonlight, as long as there is light penetrating into the room, his mood is more stable.

That's why Meng Boyi suspected that this person was locked underground, and he couldn't stand the dull environment and people.

Meng Boyi opened the door, and the two donkeys walked into the room slowly.

The man's hair was disheveled and his face was dirty. He was looking at the light and shadow on the ground, but when he heard the sound of the door, he immediately turned his head and looked at the door vigilantly.

The second donkey stood at the door for two seconds, looking at the man quietly, but the man didn't respond, and stared at it blankly.

The second donkey saw that he was not moving, so he walked in slowly.

He squatted down a meter away from him and sat in front of him.

One person and one dog looked at each other quietly, and after 2 minutes, the person's mood remained unchanged.

The second donkey got up and took two steps forward. After probing like this, it finally came to the man's side, and first stretched out its paws to pat his calf.

The man looked at the paws of the second donkey on his calf, and suddenly said, "Oswald! Is that you? Are you here to pick me up?"

He didn't feel confused at all when he said this, and it didn't sound like he was insane.

He stretched out his arms to hug the second donkey, but the second donkey didn't hide, and he hugged the dog's head.

"Oswald, it's you...you're here to pick up daddy, daddy misses you." The man burst into tears, holding the second donkey's dog and weeping.

Kong Qi watched the second donkey grow up, she and Lu Xiangbei both knew where it came from, it couldn't be this man's 'son'.

So this person must have misidentified the dog. Ordinarily, the dog owner should not fail to recognize his own dog. This person is now mentally disturbed, which may have made his judgment wrong.

The second donkey was strangled uncomfortably, pushed the patient away, first sniffed his hands, and then sniffed his knees a few times.

"Oswald, I'm my father, it's me." The patient thought that the second donkey was confirming his smell, so he was very happy and let it smell.

"You're not dead, no... I'm dead, right? You came to pick me up, I'm already dead."

Kong Qi heard something, the man's dog was dead, he thought he was dying too, his dog son came to pick him up to another world.

The second donkey finished the task, turned around and left the room, but the patient tried to stop it, but unfortunately he couldn't reach the door because he was tied with an iron chain around his waist.

"Oswald—" cried the sick man, tugging at the chain desperately, trying to break it.

"Give it back to me, give it back to me!" Seeing that the patient was about to fall ill, a white figure suddenly appeared beside Kong Qi, and gently blocked her with his arms.

She took the opportunity to move aside, and saw that the person who came was a big sister in a nurse's uniform.

The elder sister held a dart between her fingers and threw it at the people inside through the open door.

The dart hit the patient's shoulder, and after a while the patient lost his strength and fell to the ground and fell asleep.

It was the first time in Kong Qi's life to see the nurse throwing darts to subdue the patient, her mouth was slightly opened and she forgot to close it.

Meng Boyi rubbed his chin, stared at Erlu and said, "He became normal when he saw your dog, maybe he can be cured by this method?"

"Then we have to find the stronghold of the half-corpse people first." Kong Qi didn't mind letting the second donkey heal the patient. The man obviously wouldn't hurt it. Everyone said that animals can heal people's hearts. This method can indeed be tried. .

But they have more important things to do right now, Kong Qi asked Meng Boyi where he picked up this man, she and Lu Xiangbei immediately took the two donkeys there.

Meng Boyi hoped that they would go after dinner, but Kong Qi insisted on leaving immediately.

She had seen the cruelty and horror of the half-corpse stronghold, and it was difficult to calm down to eat. She just wanted to find the stronghold early, and maybe save some people's heads.

Lu Xiangbei had the same worry as her, so Meng Boyi didn't continue to persuade them, but took them out of the city and went to find the secret way with them.

Kong Qi didn't want to bring other people with her. In this camp, she only knew Meng Boyi and the little brothers beside Meng Boyi, and only trusted them.

She and Lu Xiangbei had to act alone if they wanted to keep their abilities secret for the time being.

Seeing that she didn't want others to follow, Meng Boyi left the bodyguards beside her in the city.

She is the lord of the city, and she only takes one person out of the city, and the other survivors are not at ease at all.

But her order still worked, and she said that no one else would be taken, so those bodyguards could only stay.

The four of them left the city and drove to the place where Meng Boyi picked up patients.

The second donkey got off the car at a certain place and began to sniff somewhere on the road. The place it sniffed was the place where the patient passed out.

"Maybe we can really find it." Seeing that the second donkey was useless, Meng Boyi reminded her. After jumping out of the car for a while, she accurately found the place where the patient had been lying, and she immediately became more confident.

"I hope it was accidentally planted..." Kong Qi came to Meng Boyi only because she was worried about her safety, and the matter of finding the half-corpse was deadlocked.

The second donkey sniffed the ground, and they abandoned the cart and followed it to the wasteland.

They left the road and walked farther and farther. The vast grassland was like a green ocean. After walking a certain distance, the road behind them disappeared from sight.

The front, back, left and right are boundless grasslands, and the two donkeys are still looking for the smell left on the ground.

The man escaped from the tunnel, and the soles of his shoes should have been stained with the dirt in the tunnel.

After all, it was two months ago. Kong Qi didn't know if the two donkeys could still be distinguished, maybe the smell had disappeared long ago.

The second donkey was responsible for the search, and they followed. Kong Qi and Meng Boyi discussed as they walked, what to do if they found the half-corpse man's stronghold.

If it's just a small-scale stronghold, Meng Boyi will send people over to support it, and take away the corpse nest today.

If the scale is large, there are many corpses and guns, they have to make detailed plans, and they can't be impatient.

"There are no living people here anymore. The living people are all in my camp. If it is really the stronghold of half-corpse people, what do you think they are eating during this time?"

Meng Boyi couldn't find the stronghold of the half-corpse people before, and it was useless to worry, but she was not worried. A group of brain-eating monsters suddenly became honest. Why?
The half-corpse people often attacked their camp before, and she was at ease at that time, but ever since she guessed that there were half-corpse people hiding underground near the camp, and they didn't move for a long time, she began to feel uneasy.

Will half-corpse people give up eating human brains and hide to fend for themselves?

She doesn't think so.
