Chapter 535: Chapter 267 Cozy Crisis_2

Peanut asked curiously, "What are you thinking?"

Lin Wu said, "I originally thought, if we were to run out of food, we could draw lots to eat our thighs. But now it seems Dawn has seen through everything."

Everyone felt queasy after hearing that, and Peanut couldn’t help but flip Lin Wu the bird. Maya took out a simple stretcher from her backpack and placed it on the ground. Although the stretcher was simple, it was a System Item, produced by a doctor in the production room. It was made of two parts: the first part was two retractable sticks, and the second was a piece of cloth.

Suddenly, Cotton laughed, and a sound escaped her lips: "Pfft."

Everyone looked at Cotton, who was blushing and waving her hands: "It’s nothing."

Peanut said, "Laughing at others is not right."

"It’s not that, it’s not that," Cotton, seeing Peanut’s misunderstanding, explained, "I was thinking, since we’re all getting hospitalized anyway, why not just chop off all our limbs? That way, it would be lighter to carry."

Everyone was shocked by Cotton’s wild idea and were at a loss for words for quite some time.

Maya scolded Lin Wu, "Look at you."

Lin Wu felt immensely wronged, "She said it."

Maya said, "But you sound like her."

Oh heavens! Is there no justice left?

However, it wasn’t completely unreasonable. If Lin Wu hadn’t mentioned drawing lots to eat thighs, Cotton might not have thought about amputating limbs. Morality aside, Cotton’s idea wasn’t completely useless. After all, there was still a long road ahead. Even if they used a vehicle, at the very least, they would save a few grams of gasoline.

Seeing Lin Wu’s changing expressions, Peanut hurriedly said, "No, no, Cotton was joking. Lin Wu, you also have to consider the possibility of traumatic stress."

Lin Wu said, "Pain killers go down, and there’s no pain."

Peanut was on the verge of tears, "If you really think so, you’re terrifying."

Of course, they didn’t really amputate anything. The bleeding was stopped amid laughter and jokes. The girls still felt some reluctance, so it was Lin Wu who had to roll Peanut onto the stretcher.

Why the reluctance from the girls? Everyone knows about gender equality. Suppose you need to touch a girl’s body, who’s more suitable? Two men? One man? Or a woman? Security checks are divided by gender, and if it didn’t matter, they would just hire women. Only hire men? There aren’t such great jobs, stop dreaming.

The task of carrying the stretcher was given to Maya and Cotton; Lin Wu lacked the strength compared to Maya, and he believed in fairness compared to Cotton. Since one girl was already burdened, it would be unfair to give the other girl special treatment. In one word: lazy. Given a choice, Lin Wu always avoided strenuous and mundane tasks. Knowing his nature, Maya and Cotton proactively took up the stretcher right away.

They had only walked a few steps when Dashuang, who was left to guard the base, reported, "Cozy Cabin is calling for help, time is ten minutes. Should I go and check?"

Before Maya could speak, Lin Wu said, "This handsome guy has calculated, and this is a trap."

Maya wanted to say something, but remembering Lin Wu’s previous bad omens, she stopped and instead said, "Dashuang, carry some pistol bullets to the pickup, we’ll see if we can make it in time." In that previous short fight, they had fired over 70 bullets.

"Understood."

Lin Wu called out, "Let’s run, left, right, left, right..." as he led the way.

"You idiot, turn left," Maya couldn’t help but curse. If she wasn’t carrying someone, she would have unsheathed her knife and turned Lin Wu into sawdust.

"Left, right, left, right..." maintaining a jogging posture, Lin Wu ran back and took another turn.

Maya sighed with exhaustion.

Cotton said, "He’s quite an interesting person."

Peanut advised, "Sis, never think a man is interesting, especially when that man doesn’t find you interesting."

Cotton didn’t care, "Interesting souls are one in a hundred, it’s not what you think."

Lin Wu ran back and while marking time in place, he called out, "Left, right, left, right..."

Maya instructed, "Turn right."

"Left, right, ..." and Lin Wu was off.

Under Lin Wu’s cadence, the stretcher team also hastened their pace, and soon Lin Wu became a victim of his own strategy. Cotton was powerless and soon felt her hands getting sore and tired, forcing Lin Wu to take over. He glanced at Peanut’s other thigh, and Peanut immediately covered it with his hands, "Don’t even think about it, it’s impossible."

Maya looked at the time, "Speed up, it seems we can make it."

"Let’s not," he said, exhausted.

"Keep up," Maya quickened her pace, and Lin Wu had no choice but to keep up.

Under Maya’s guidance, Cotton was the first to emerge from the sewer, originally planning to eliminate the zombies at the sewer entrance. However, there were unexpectedly many zombies, so they had no choice but to lure them away with speed. When the stretcher team reached the entrance, Peanut climbed up the straight ladder first, then lay back on the stretcher, and they continued on their way.

Maya checked the time, "Quickly."

"Throw it," Lin Wu said.

Immediately, Maya left the stretcher at the crossroads and ran with Lin Wu towards the pickup, calling through the headset, "Dashuang, drag Peanut back."

Peanut protested angrily, "No need, I can crawl back myself."

The pickup arrived, and Lin Wu shouted, "Move aside a bit, don’t block the road."

Peanut rolled over twice to the left, looking at Cotton who had accompanied him all along, "There are still good people." As he finished speaking, the pickup braked and slowed down, Cotton hopped into the back, and they sped away.

As a severely injured soldier abandoned by his comrades, Peanut, suffering in both body and mind, yelled, "Dashuang."

Dashuang replied, "Here."

"Come help me."

Dashuang questioned, "Didn’t you say you could crawl back yourself?"
