Dr. Zheng covered his face, his shoulders shaking, and after a long moment, he raised his tear-stained face and let out a deep sigh:
“If zombies come up later, I… let me draw them away, you quickly take the child and run. You are soldiers, more useful than an ordinary person like me, with a greater chance of survival…”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Chuncao fiercely retorted: “You’re a doctor, more people need you, do you understand?!”
Dr. Zheng said dejectedly: “I’m a useless doctor. If I had helped her give birth faster, if I had carried her and run faster, this wouldn’t have happened. Ultimately, it’s because I’m useless.”
“Wouldn’t that mean I should die the most,” Sinan suddenly said coldly from the corner, “I’m nothing, just a volunteer.”
Dr. Zheng and Chuncao simultaneously shouted: “Stop talking!”
“So don’t say such things before the end, maybe Zhou Rong will come to rescue us soon,” Sinan sighed and reminded: “Quickly calm the baby down.”
— Would your Captain Zhou really come back in this sea of corpses?
Dr. Zheng’s lips moved, but he didn’t voice this doubt, immediately distracted by the baby’s loud crying.
A thirty-two-week premature baby crying so strongly was actually a good sign, but zombies retained basic biological instincts and would chase sounds and blood. At this rate, being discovered was inevitable.
Hordes of zombies could smash the iron door on the ground floor. Once zombies followed the sound, the three of them and the child would be helpless!
Dr. Zheng panicked, taking the baby from Chuncao and walking back and forth, constantly whispering: “Good, good, don’t cry, sleep, sleep, good…”
However, the child hadn’t had a single drop of milk and cried harder the more she was comforted, almost to the point of passing out. Such a small baby couldn’t be prevented from crying, and covering her mouth would surely suffocate her. Dr. Zheng trembled, at a complete loss.
“They’re coming up,” Sinan said, lifting his head after pressing his ear to the floor.
“Wah wah… wah wah wah…”
The baby’s urgent cries became a death sentence for everyone. Dr. Zheng and Chuncao looked at each other, the situation becoming more critical with each passing second.
“Give her to me,” Sinan said.
