There was a lot of discussion going on in the crowd and each had their own thoughts. Some wanted to go out and save people, while others resisted.

However, no matter what they thought, they still decided to wait and see. They didn’t dare to make any rash moves.

And at this moment, the last man who came back alone trembled uncontrollably. Then, he fell to the ground and twitched uncontrollably, gasping for air!

The middle-aged woman beside him immediately knelt on the ground and helped him up, shouting, “Son! What’s wrong with you?”

Suddenly, the survivors next to him retreated a few meters away as if they were avoiding a plague. Their eyes were filled with panic and everyone immediately started screaming!

“What’s going on?”

“Why do you look like you’re about to turn into a zombie!”

“Help! If it’s really a zombie transformation, we’re done for, we’ll all die!”

“Kill him! No matter what, one person dying is better than everyone dying!”

..

The survivors were all discussing. The only person who was willing to lean on the man was his mother.

She was crying in despair and shouting crazily, “Is there a doctor? Please save my son! He didn’t turn into a zombie, he has asthma! He has had asthma since he was young!”

“You guys have to believe me! Is there a doctor? I’m begging you, please save my son!”

How could the crowd believe her? They all started to berate her, “How can you prove it? Didn’t you see that he’s covered in wounds? He’s the only one left on his team today. Who can guarantee that he wasn’t attacked by zombies outside and got infected with a virus?”

“Yeah! We will rather kill the wrong person than take any risks!”

..

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a white coat and a black ballpoint pen in his left chest pocket walked out and squatted down beside the man. “I’m a doctor, I can take a look,”

The middle-aged woman seemed to have regained hope. She knelt down in front of the doctor and clasped her hands together in gratitude. “Thank you, doctor! You’re a doctor, you must know that my son’s condition is asthma!”

The doctor took out his stethoscope and placed the earpieces in his ear. He pressed the chest piece of the stethoscope against the man’s chest and listened for a while. Then, he used his gloved hand to open the man’s eyes and take a look. He then used a cotton swab to press down on the man’s tongue and looked at his mouth.

Then, he stood up with an unclear look in his eyes. He put away the stethoscope and said, “It’s indeed asthma.”

The middle-aged woman let out a sigh of relief and sobbed, “Doctor, you have a way to treat it, right? My son has had this illness for more than 20 years and he has already run out of medicine. I don’t have much medicine for him, can you..”

The survivors who were shouting just now also felt a little guilty, but they were more suspicious and worried that they would be implicated.

“Save? But what if he really turned into a zombie? We’re done for!”

“Yeah! The problem is, where are we going to get the medicine to save him? We’re in such a shortage of medicine now that we don’t even have it ourselves. Why should we give it to your son?”

“That’s right. We have to consider the cost of saving people. It’s not worth it to exchange a few bags of potato chips for a bottle of medicine!”

..

When the doctor heard this, he chuckled and said, “I can save him, but we don’t have any medicine left.”

He then turned to the middle-aged woman who was kneeling on the ground and begging him.”However, you have to give me ten bottles of medicine and a day’s worth of food in exchange, only then can he be saved.”

When she heard what the doctor said, the middle-aged woman’s face froze. She tugged at the doctor’s pants in disbelief and cried, “I’m begging you, you’re a doctor. Isn’t your duty to save people?”

“Besides, I’m a woman who’s about to go into the grave. Where can I get you a day’s food and ten bottles of medicine? You’re not saving my son. You’re forcing me to die with my son! We haven’t eaten anything for five days. If we have anything, I’ll definitely give it to you!”

The doctor smiled faintly. “Old lady, you’re still talking to me about being a doctor in this day and age. Why should I do something that doesn’t benefit me?”

At this time, a man in a priest’s uniform sighed as he held the cross in front of his chest. He watched everything silently. He knew about this doctor’s character.

Not long ago, he had also used a day’s worth of food to exchange for heart medicine. As far as he knew, the middle-aged doctor had a medicine box with a bottle of asthma medicine. But he just didn’t want to take it out.

Not only did he not take it out, but he also felt that his box full of medicine was not enough. He still had to make careful calculations and use his medical skills to exchange for more medicine and food, and that was how he got his supplies of medicine.

At this moment, the man on the ground twitched even more violently. His whole body twitched, and then his eyes rolled up, revealing most of the white of his eyes, and then he began to foam at the mouth!

The middle-aged woman had completely collapsed. She hugged her twitching son and cried, “Son, you can’t die! You have to hold on! If you die, I don’t want to live anymore!”

She cried and screamed as she crawled toward the doctor. “Doctor, I’ll go look for food tomorrow. Can you please save him now? I’ll definitely give you the food and medicine tomorrow! You have to believe me!”

The doctor looked on indifferently and shook his head. “You give me the goods, then I will treat your son. There’s no room for negotiation.”

The rest of the survivors also muttered.

“The doctor can do that. This will make our medicine more worth it!”

“The medicine belongs to everyone. If you want to use it, you have to exchange it with something else.”

“Yeah, I exchanged a day’s worth of food for it. What gives you the privilege not to exchange for it too?”

Upon seeing this, the priest put his hands together and sighed helplessly, “Lord Jesus, please save him!”

..

Just as everyone was discussing heatedly, the prison warden, who had been observing for a while, pointed his gun directly at the man’s forehead. In the next second, he did something beyond everyone’s expectations.

“Bang!”

The bullet went straight through the man’s forehead! A bright and conspicuous stream of blood slowly flowed out from the man’s glabella. Then, his twitching body froze in an instant and he fell to the ground with a thud. On the black muddy ground, a pool of red blood gradually appeared around the man’s body.

The middle-aged woman’s eyes instantly went wide open and her pupils were filled with despair!

Before she could even react, her son had died in front of her!

He wasn’t bitten to death by a zombie, but was killed by a bullet from one of his own kind!

On what basis can you do that? I only wanted to save my son, I didn’t harm anyone!

As she thought of this, she suddenly stood up and screamed, rushing towards the prison warden!

“Return my son! Give me back my son! I’m going to kill you!”

Her thin and weak body rushed over with determination.

The next second, a gunshot rang out “Bang!”

The old woman was also killed with one shot.

..

The sound of the gunshot stopped and it suddenly became silent. Everyone’s hearts trembled and they were so frightened that they took a step back!

The man in the priest’s uniform trembled and fear enveloped his eyes! He instantly closed his eyes, placed the cross in front of his chest, and silently muttered, “Amen.”

Then, he took a deep breath and stepped forward. He asked the prison warden in a calm tone, “Why did you kill him? The doctor clearly said that he had asthma.”

The rest of the people had also recovered from the scene just now. When they saw the priest speak, they also felt angry and unfortunate for the mother and son!

But more than that, they were afraid!

They were afraid that they would also become a victim of the gun! They all trembled!

“What do we do? Will we also be killed?”

“Will this priest be killed as well? What should we do after this? Let’s quickly escape!”

“Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re the prison warden. You only have just a few broken guns and wooden sticks. There are so many of us here. Do you dare to kill us all?”

“That’s right, what’s the world like now, what do you think you’re a warden for? Without us, do you have anything to eat? Without us, your survivor camp is nothing!”

The more everyone spoke, the braver they became!

Their stances all became stronger.

The prison warden’s eyes inadvertently flashed with a trace of panic, and then he took a step back and gave a look to the few prison guards behind him.

The four prison guards stepped forward and pointed their batons at the survivors. The crowd also took a step back. The two sides were in a deadlock.

The prison warden coughed. Seeing that he was safe for the time being, he tidied his clothes and held the gun hanging by his side. He coughed and said, “You believe the words of someone without a medical license?”

“Who knows if he really has asthma? Firstly, he doesn’t have a medical license as a doctor. Secondly, there’s no medical proof for this man’s asthma. How can you guarantee the authenticity of this?”

“What if he turned into a zombie? Have you ever thought about what will happen to your life?”

“As your ruler, I have to be responsible for you all!”
