Third Uncle stood up and saw the excited smile on Ant's face, but he didn't feel much joy inside.
He too knew the hardships of Doomsday.
Clearly, for Ant to survive alone in this world with just a dog, he must have endured many struggles, which of course are nothing compared to those of their own.
But he felt a bit uneasy; now that his brother has returned, he needs to treat them better.
So with so sentintality, he said, "Alright. Ant, co with later."
Ant nodded and said, "Okay."
Then he bowed his head to continue dealing with the python corpse.
At that mont, Third Uncle's walkie-talkie buzzed.
"Captain, we've returned and are now at the steel factory entrance, dealing with the corpses from earlier. It'll take a while to co in." Old Qin's voice ca through.
Third Uncle thought for a mont. Although this place is on the outskirts of Guang City, the number of zombies is quite high compared to Big Camphor Tree Base, especially at night when zombies are everywhere. Those corpses left outside the steel factory would certainly attract many zombies.
So he said, "Alright, co back once you've finished dealing with the corpses."
Then he spoke to Gongsun Jing and the others, "Don't check inside for now, wait for Zhu Xiao and the others to return and we'll search together."
"Drive all the trucks over, and start loading the steel. Zhao Feng, co with . I'll give you so bandages and anti-inflammatory drugs to treat your arm wound. If it's not treated in ti, it can easily beco inflad."
Third Uncle then assigned tasks to everyone, getting them busy.
Upon hearing Third Uncle's words, Zhao Feng gratefully said, "Thank you, Third Uncle, thank you."
Third Uncle said nothing, silently led Zhao Feng towards the RV.
After taking a few steps, he turned to shout to Ant, "Ant, co over here."
Ant heard him, put down the dagger and snake at in his hands.
Slung the crossbow on his back and headed towards Third Uncle.
After they reached the armored RV, Third Uncle opened the door and told Zhao Feng to wait a mont, then found bandages, iodine, and anti-inflammatory drugs from the dicine box in the car and handed them to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng expressed his gratitude repeatedly, and Third Uncle comforted him, "That ssenger, he's called Ma Tou, right?"
Zhao Feng paused upon hearing the na from Third Uncle.
Feeling sowhat resentful, thinking about how they all went in together, yet Ma Tou ran faster than anyone else, that bastard.
Seeming to have noticed his displeasure, Third Uncle said, "The first thing Ma Tou did was tell us to hurry and rescue you, he ran desperately, and his legs must have hit the ground hard."
After saying that, Third Uncle fell silent.
He rely stated the facts.
Whatever Zhao Feng and the others might think, it's their business.
Zhao Feng's expression was uncertain, but it was clear that his anger had dissipated quite a bit.
He bowed to Third Uncle and Ant, expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for rescuing us, thank you again."
After saying that, he walked towards the truck.
Ant watched his departing back, eyes flickering, his thoughts unknown.
"Ant."
Third Uncle suddenly spoke.
"Ah, Captain, you called ."
"I noticed Xiao Hei's back is also injured; check if it's inflad. If it's a knife wound, it might get inflad and fester, which is troubleso." Third Uncle said looking at Xiao Hei next to Ant.
"Ah, yes, yes, I was just about to ntion it." Ant replied.
Then he unwrapped the bandages on Xiao Hei's back, and as he tore off the bandages, it tugged at the flesh, causing Xiao Hei to make a pained expression, though it didn't whine.
Once the bandages were removed, Ant's face turned much more serious.
On the dog's back, where it had been struck by a knife, there was no fur, and the flesh was exposed with a lot of yellow pus oozing out, slling a bit foul.
Clearly, it was already sowhat inflad.
Lately, the weather has been heating up, and in Guang City, the temperature is even higher.
At over twenty degrees, untreated wounds indeed easily beco inflad.
Third Uncle also saw this scene from the vehicle, then walked back into the car, deciding to let Ant and Xiao Hei co inside.
"Ant, bring Xiao Hei inside the car." Third Uncle said.
Upon hearing this, Ant stepped on the car steps and walked inside.
Once inside, he was sowhat surprised.
From the outside, the car seed to have iron plates welded onto it, looking very robust and sturdy but extrely coarse, like sothing out of a doomsday punk setting.
But once inside, especially after moving from the passenger seat to the small lounge area, he was pleasantly surprised to find it was sowhat luxurious.
Soft leather sofa, a refrigerator......
Most importantly, upon entering, he noticed the center area, which had a lift platform where the heavy machine gun was visible.
"Captain, this—you guys are too fierce; you even have this thing. Are the bullets enough?" Ant wondered aloud.
Third Uncle sat on the sofa, looking out the car window, watching Gongsun Jing and the others driving the trucks over, then starting to use forklifts and other equipnt to load the steel onto the trucks.
The car window had an outer layer of iron bars, preventing impact and pulling.
The inside had two layers of one-way bulletproof glass; you couldn't see inside from outside, but can see out from inside.
Sitting down, he grabbed a pack of cigarettes from the cabinet, tossed one to Ant, then took out the dicine box from the cabinet and placed it on the table.
