Chapter 127 The Dilemma on the Highway (3)
......
Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Ailun, Susan, and Moore were speeding along in their car.
Following the map's directions, they finally arrived at their destination safely.
The once bustling town is now just a desolate wasteland. No zombies have been found on the streets. It's like a ghost town forgotten by time.
As soon as their car entered the town, they saw that the streets were full of abandoned cars and the windows of most of the shops on both sides of the street were broken.
The shelves in the shop window, which should have been filled with a dazzling array of goods, looked like they had been ransacked; they were either in complete disarray or completely empty...
"We should have come together; we wouldn't have had to run back and forth..."
Moore sat in the back seat, sticking his head out of the window to look around, muttering, "Look here, there's not even a zombie in sight."
"..."
Susan was holding a map and trying to figure out the way when she heard this, and couldn't help but look up and speak up in defense:
"Just shut up. Isn't it better if nothing happens? You'll be upset if you actually see a zombie."
Deep down, she couldn't stand anyone questioning Li Ailun's judgment.
"......hehe."
Moore pulled his head back into the car, chuckled, and said nothing more.
After all, a good man doesn't argue with a woman, and words are...
He understands this principle as well.
"..."
Seeing that Moore had finally calmed down, Susan continued to give directions to Lee Allen, pointing her slender finger towards the intersection ahead and saying:
"Allen, turn right at the next intersection, it's the shorter way..."
"Um......"
Li Ailun nodded upon hearing this, then turned the steering wheel and the car turned into the intersection.
Once he confirmed there were no signs of walkers in the town, he became less cautious and increased the car's speed slightly.
They quickly drove to the hospital.
But the scene before them left them utterly disappointed...
"Thousand...gifts...crabs..."
Mohr couldn't help but sigh at the sight before him.
All that remained before them was a charred hospital ruin. The main building, blackened by the flames, was clearly a dangerous structure, seemingly about to collapse at any moment.
"How did this hospital get burned like this?!"
Susan was equally astonished.
Given this situation, there's no need to expect anything left inside.
"..."
Li Ailun didn't stop the car, but continued driving around the hospital to confirm that it had been completely reduced to ruins and was inaccessible.
"Well, it seems like this trip was a complete waste of time..."
"...That poor guy can only leave it to fate."
Moore's tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.
It's clear that he still harbors some resentment about what happened in Atlanta.
“Susan…”
At this moment, Li Ailun turned to Susan and said:
"Look on the map to see if there are any private clinics or pharmacies."
"Let me see..."
Susan quickly unfolded the map in her hand and began to search carefully.
She quickly pointed out several locations on the map, then looked up at Li Ailun with a look of surprise and said:
"Yes! There are pharmacies and private clinics nearby..."
The car then slowly drove away from the hospital area...
......
Half a day later, in a certain pharmacy.
Li Ailun strolled slowly among the medicine shelves, his patrolling gaze sweeping back and forth across the shelves while keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.
The dagger held in reverse in his hand is ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
However, just like the three pharmacies they had visited before, this place had already been patronized, and all the useful medicines had been swept away. The three of them could not find any antibiotics.
When he turned to another medicine shelf, he bumped into Susan, who was also diligently searching for medicine. Li Ailun then asked her:
"How about it?"
"I only found some stomach pain medication and vitamins, but I did find a few packs of bandages and a small bottle of rubbing alcohol on the ground. I guess the previous owners left in a hurry and didn't have time to collect them..."
Susan shook the plastic bag she was carrying and started talking about her haul.
This is their biggest achievement so far today.
"..."
Li Ailun suddenly remembered the box of medicine he had generously donated to the nursing home years ago.
They only now truly understand how precious medicines are in the apocalypse.
Then he remembered the warehouse full of medicines in the airport; it was a treasure trove.
It's a pity it's too far...
......
Just then, Moore strode over with an arrogant air, a smug smile on his face.
Seeing his expression, Susan felt a surge of anticipation and quickly asked:
"Moore, did you find anything?"
"Then, see for yourself..."
Moore pulled a sealed, transparent, waterproof bag full of medicine bottles from his backpack and tossed it to her.
Susan took the bag, opened it, and began to check each item one by one...
"Morphine tablets, amphetamines, huh..."
Suddenly, Susan pulled a medicine bottle from her bag and looked at Moore with surprise, saying:
"Deoxyoxygenase, this is no ordinary drug..."
"This is top-quality stuff. I've used it before, haha, those guys always like to hide the good stuff in the toilet tank..."
Moore smiled smugly; he knew all too well how the pharmacy clerks embezzled from their own staff.
He paused for a moment, then said:
"Is this enough? Can we go back now? I'm exhausted after running around all day..."
"Okay, stop complaining..."
Susan knew the Mor people weren't truly bad, so she earnestly advised, "This is for everyone's sake, and for your own. You might need it someday..."
"Stop, don't curse me..."
Moore waved his hand repeatedly to stop her lecturing.
"Who cursed you? Take it or leave it..."
Susan rolled her eyes at him, put the medicine into her backpack, and then said to Li Ailun, "Alan, shall we go back now?"
"Hmm...Isn't there a pharmacy on the east side of town? Let's go there while we're at it; it's not easy to get out these days."
After thinking for a moment, Li Ailun said...
"also."
"..."
Susan naturally agreed to Li Ailun's suggestion without hesitation.
In this way, it was useless for Moore to protest, and he could only follow them out of the pharmacy in a sullen mood.
The three got back into the car, and soon it started and slowly drove away from the street...
