Doomsday rat

This judgment also corresponds to Jiao San and Lin Na's unremitting search results every day. They have traveled all over the jurisdiction of the two sub-district offices in the south and southwest directions, but they have not found any trace of survivors.

Of course, it may also be that they already have a small group, and they are no longer willing to easily contact outsiders under the premise of not being sure about their safety.Think about it in your own shoes, if you have food and drink and are not in danger, and suddenly hear someone shouting, you have to think about it, and you won't show up right away.

"One of them is in Boston, less than [-] kilometers away from my home!" Hong Tao guessed half right. Randy did miss his family, but not for no reason, but because he saw a little hope.

"This is a good thing, you can report the address, and ask them to go and search for a purpose!" Hearing this, Hong Tao quickly put away his smile and said seriously.

"... There are only six of them, all of them are old people and children, and they cannot pass through the densely populated urban area with three shotguns." Randy shook his head and fell silent again.

"You can tell them about our experience in cleaning up zombies and luring zombies. After all, the population density there is not as high as here. As long as the operation is done properly, there should be some hope. By the way, there are also drones, use drones to fly over to play Recording is also possible!"

Thousands of miles away, Hong Tao almost forgot what Boston was like. He was really helpless, so he could only talk about it, try to come up with some not-so-bad ideas, and leave some theoretical hope for Randy.

"Group leader Jiao said that you can fly a plane, is it true?" Randy didn't say whether these methods are good or not, but suddenly stopped, stared at Hong Tao and asked very seriously, his eyes were shining with blue tiles.

"This grandson can't do good things...Randy, listen to me, it's really no problem to fly a plane, but...by the way, you have done ground handling, you should know that long-distance flying depends on flying skills and excellent aircraft. Useful. Without satellites and radio navigation stations, transoceanic flight is basically equivalent to flying freely in outer space wearing a space suit, and it will be gone after flying out!"

Hong Tao really wanted to go back and grab Jiao San and throw him for 5 minutes, but unfortunately that guy drove Lin Na to search on a big motorcycle early in the morning.It’s really not enough to succeed, but more to reveal. You told an American survivor that I can fly a plane. What do you mean?Are you looking forward to using Randy's hand to get rid of my fictional rival in love!

But it's too late to say anything now, and Randy is also stubborn, so I really came to ask myself this question.Come on, you have also served in the Army Aviation Corps anyway, can you not be as ignorant as ordinary people!

"What if it's a propeller plane? I can also fly a propeller plane, but I don't have a license, so the two of us are together!" But the bad thing is the service. Randy doesn't know anything about flying. Not sure, just changed another plan.

"...In theory, it is possible. I have specially trained in visual flight subjects at Boeing's flight base, and my grades are not bad. But have you ever thought about it? We don't know where there is a suitable aircraft that can be used. Where do you go to refuel? Unless you can find a map of the US Air Force or Navy military bases on the Pacific coast, if there is, then let's find a big plane and take the rescue team away. To be honest, your hometown The population density is low, and the firearm penetration rate is high, which is more suitable for the development of survivors than here.”

Regarding this question, Hong Tao pretended to think carefully for a while. In fact, without Randy mentioning it, the idea of ​​flying a plane had already been thought of as early as the first day of the catastrophe.

It's a pity that neither jet nor propeller plane can safely reach the west coast of the United States under the current conditions, let alone fly to Boston.It's not that the technology is not good enough, but that the equipment doesn't support it.

Even if the meritorious test pilots of the Russian Air Force were recruited, they would still be unable to fly without satellite and radio navigation, detailed flight charts, airport locations, and ground crew assistance.

"...Sorry, I lost my composure! Where are you going today? Go back and find that corpse?" Randy has a strong self-regulation ability. After listening to Hong Tao's explanation, he immediately understood how much he wanted to fly back to the United States. Naive, simply do not talk about it.

"I'm sorry, I thought you'd improved after one life and death!" As soon as Randy said that he was going back to the embassy area, the muscles on Pan Wenxiang's fat face immediately trembled involuntarily, and he hesitated in his steps.

If he hadn't cared about Hong Tao's reputation as a cruel and merciless man, he would have turned around and ran away!But if he didn't run away, he still couldn't escape the sarcasm from that broken mouth. His fat face was red and white, and he didn't dare to talk back even though his teeth were gritted.

Chapter 120

"I won't go back. The place is probably full of zombies now, and it won't be cleaned up in a week. After it's cleaned up, the corpses will rot, so there's no research value. Don't worry, we're just going to find someone at the entrance of the shopping mall on the roadside." Things, building materials that can replace bricks and cement!"

Seeing Pan Wenxiang bear it again, Hong Tao could only sigh in his heart.Courage is not something that can be developed overnight, and character is not something that can be changed immediately after a big ups and downs.Don't continue to stimulate, and exercise slowly.

"There are building materials at the entrance of the mall? Why didn't I know!" Randy has been to this street and knows that mall, but he can't think of anything that can replace bricks and cement as building materials.

"Hey hey, you can't say it, you can't say it... Mage, there is work coming from across the street. I will give you a shield and kill it. I will give you a timer, and the game console will be gone after 3 minutes!"

Talking and chatting, they walked through Yandai Xiejie and came to the side of the road soon, and the enemy appeared!A figure wobbled towards him diagonally across the street. Just as Hong Tao was about to go up, he rolled his eyes and gave Pan Wenxiang the opportunity to exercise.

Can Fatty be one-on-one?The answer is definitely not!Before he touched it, his legs were weak, but he was knocked back several steps by the zombies, and he squatted with a big fart, and the climbing pick was thrown away.

"Don't shoot... Come on, get up, put your weight forward, use your waist and legs, and hit it! Oh, what are you afraid of, it can't bite you, hold it, chop it!" Hong Tao stopped Randy The action of drawing a gun to aim, quickly went up to pick up the climbing pick, then picked up the little fat man, hugged his waist from behind, forced him to raise his shield, and took the initiative to charge at the zombie.

"Ah, ah, ah...Hoohoo...I can't cut it..." Pan Wenxiang was hugged by Hong Tao from behind and couldn't break free. Seeing the zombies rushing towards him, he could only bite the bullet and push forward.

Face to face with the zombies at such a close distance through the transparent shield, it is hard to tell whether it is fear or disgust, so I just closed my eyes and picked up the climbing pick and chiseled forward without thinking, accompanied by rhythmic shouts.It's a pity that the momentum is strong, the damage is insufficient, and the sustaining power is even worse. It loses energy in less than 20 seconds. It only adds a few small holes on the zombie's arms and shoulders.

"Look, let's do this... push it, take advantage of the gap when it stops, move the shield halfway, and quickly gouge..." Hong Tao took the shield and climbing pick, and personally demonstrated his unique special attack.In less than five seconds, the zombie had a small hole in its forehead, and then lay down on the ground.

"Huh...huh...you are taller than me, and your arms are longer than mine!" Pan Wenxiang understood, but he didn't want to admit that he was timid and stubborn.

"Well, you will come out in high heels from now on! Come on, use your spells and see if there is any danger in the shopping mall!" Facing this attitude of refusing to admit his mistakes, Hong Tao was too lazy to present the facts and reason.

In the rescue team, not only is Pan Wenxiang a young man, Zhang Tao, Shui Nanqin, and three girls are all about the same age, and they basically share this attitude. They are too self-centered, too humble, and too good-faced. If they talk too much, they will be hated easily. .

Li Xiang is a different kind. She has mastered more skills than her peers, but she is better at learning, more open-minded, and more calm.This may be the truth that the ancients said, a bottle is not full and half of the bottle is dangling.

"I discovered a new function. This thing can be set to distinguish between friend and foe. Look, do you know what it is for? Cut, I don't know! One for each person, put it on the body...here, what changes did you find? Is there any?"

In the past, whenever the word "magic" was mentioned, Pan Wenxiang immediately blushed and became anxious, even if he couldn't beat him, he would stare angrily.This was the most painful realization in his life. He was cheated for more than half a month, thinking about how to get the scroll and change his job as an archmage every day.This episode has become a repertoire within the rescue team, and it is estimated that it will not be forgotten in ten years.

But now Pan Wenxiang doesn't think the spell has any derogatory meaning. He really has the spell, which is the human body radar in his hand.Most of the functions were found by him, and he further discovered more functions, such as the few small round steel pieces in the box.

What are they for?After trial and error, Pan Wenxiang finally figured out that these steel sheets, which are bigger and thicker than a dollar coin, were not put in the wrong box, but an important part of the human body radar.

There must be a chip inside the steel sheet, or a special material, which is a fixed frequency signal source.Put it on your body, and after being detected by the human body radar, what is displayed on the screen is no longer a green dot, but a yellow dot!

What's the use?Regardless of the changes in green and yellow, the effect is very prominent.With their help, the human body radar can not only detect whether there are human activities within a range of nearly [-] meters, but also distinguish between friend and foe.The enemy is green, and the ally who wears the steel plate is yellow!

If I knew the function of the steel sheet, I wouldn't have to go to the Indian embassy to search for living corpses so hard.No matter where the zombies and living corpses are hiding, as long as there is no large area of ​​metal barriers, they can be completely distinguished from Hong Tao and Randy, so that they will not be attacked by surprise and almost lose their lives.

"...Xiao Pan, there will be more similar electronic equipment in the future. I will suggest that you be responsible for the management and maintenance of firearms and electronic equipment. How about it?"

Without Pan Wenxiang's explanation, Hong Tao and Randy had already seen the changes on the screen, and understood how great the effect was, so they extended their thumbs together to express their opinion.In addition, Hong Tao also drew a big cake for others, promotion!

"As long as I don't come out with you to kill zombies!" Pan Wenxiang couldn't help boasting, and immediately showed his nerd energy, speaking without restraint!

"Believe it or not, I will give you special training from tomorrow!" Dare to disgust Hong Tao in front of outsiders, the price will be very high.

"Oh, Captain Hong, don't be so narrow-minded. If I had to choose, I wouldn't want to be in your group. You always do the most dangerous and risky things, and whoever is in your group will always face danger. For example Now, Mr. Pan and I don’t know what you are going to do at all, and this feeling is very bad!” Seeing Hong Tao getting angry, Randy hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over for Pan Wenxiang, and he also mentioned his own opinion by the way.

"Here, that's it! As usual, Xiao Pan is in charge of standing guard, and the two of us are in charge of work!" At this time, the three of them had already approached the small square in front of the shopping mall. In the past, there would be a lot of cars and crowds here, but now it was deserted and empty. , even the bouncy castle with colorful flags fluttering limply on the ground!

"It... what do you want the inflatable model for?" Not only Pan Wenxiang was dumbfounded, but Randy also had question marks in his head.

"Being a partition wall... the new home is too big, we don't have that much heating, and we have to shrink the space. Would you rather be a mason, or put it away for me?"

It turned out that the method Hong Tao and Li Xiang were talking about was this inflatable model, which was made of PVC sandwich cloth, impervious to wind and water and very strong.If you take it back and re-cut and glue it to a suitable size, and then fill it with air, it will be a thick enough air wall.

If you seal the four sides a little bit, the heat insulation effect is not worse than that of a brick wall, but it is much less troublesome than a brick wall.When the gas is released in spring, the underground space can be restored to its original state in a few hours without affecting anything.

"You know how to work as a cobbler?" Randy understood, affirmed this idea, and expressed doubts about Hong Tao's excessive skills.

"I used to build a canopy in the yard...that is, an awning. I used similar materials. I bought semi-finished products online. I cut, glued, hemmed, and punched by myself. It was as easy as sewing clothes. Oh, yes , I can also cut fashions, and if I have a chance, I will open your eyes!" Hong Tao is no stranger to this kind of suspicion, I just know how to do it, and I don't even need to find excuses to cover it up.

"Actually, I don't like the new home very much. It's like a mouse burrowing in the ground!" Randy didn't plan to continue discussing with Hong Tao on this issue. He was too shocked, so let's change the topic.

He'd been to Ringworks, but he couldn't say he liked it.In comparison, he was more willing to choose another backup plan proposed by Hong Tao, looking for a high-rise building with a basement and more than one exit as a base.

Chapter 121 Talk to Your Girlfriend

"Hey, yellow card warning, don't forget what's on my back, don't slander the mouse, it's a role model of being smart, tenacious, and knowing how to advance and retreat!" Of course, Hong Tao is not happy to live in the basement all day long, but after weighing the pros and cons, Starting from the actual conditions, the current circular fortification is indeed the best choice, not one of them.

In addition to its strong, concealed, and subway-connected attributes, the Ditan Park above is also an advantage.With this fairly fertile land, we can sow seeds in spring, and eating the vegetables we grow next year is not a dream.

Don't underestimate a few vegetables, it's really not worth it.Daily pills alone can meet the nutritional intake, but the intestines can't bear it, lack of crude fiber, the most direct manifestation is constipation, and it takes a lot of effort to defecate.

"God, I can't figure out who would use a mouse as a totem... What's wrong?"

Almost everyone in the rescue team has seen the mouse head tattoo on Hong Tao's back.Every time this guy takes a bath by the lake, he likes to lie shirtless on a bamboo chair and take a nap.But no one knows the origin of this tattoo, including Chu Qiu, who has become Hong Tao's actual daughter-in-law.

As a result, various speculations, such as gang theory, have arisen.It is said that Hong Tao joined a certain gang when he was young, and this tattoo is the symbol of the gang.

Another example is the theory of unforgettable, who knows who is too idle to arrange a love affair for Hong Tao, and the ending is naturally a tragedy.That woman is the same age as Hong Tao, a rat!

There is also the theory of special identity, saying that members of a special organization abroad have this kind of tattoo, but the reputation of this organization is not very good.Don't ask, it must have been arranged by Jiao San, he was unwilling to make Hong Tao a spy.

Naturally, Randy doesn't believe it, because there are very serious logical problems in every story.But at the same time, he couldn't think of any religion in the world that used mice as gods, and it was still puzzling.Just when he was about to ask more questions, he suddenly noticed that Hong Tao's narrowed eyes were wrinkled, and he was shaking his neck slightly with his head poking around, his expression was very strange.

"Little Pan, quickly find a place to hide!" It's okay not to ask, Hong Tao ran behind a car before Randy could react, and informed Pan Wenxiang who was standing on the side of the road holding a body radar while running.

"What did you find!" Randy quickly followed Hong Tao and hid behind the car, but there was nothing around.

"Hush... over there..." Hong Tao forcibly pushed down Randy's head, which was looking around, and looked at Pan Wenxiang again.Well, the performance was good this time. The little fat man couldn't find a suitable concealment nearby, so he simply got into the inflatable model. As long as he didn't move, he couldn't find it when he got close.

"It should be Mr. Jiao's motorcycle!" It took about ten seconds for Randy to hear the faint sound of the engine, and a few seconds later, a black motorcycle appeared from the south intersection, and the rider was also fully dressed. black.

"Why did the two of them come back so early? Maybe they found out today... Go to the side of the road and say hello!" Hong Tao had already held the binoculars in his hand, and he could clearly see who the motorcycle and the rider were.

"What about you?" Randy was about to get up and go out, but stopped again, and turned to ask Hong Tao who was still squatting behind the car.

"I am here to ambush, and I can save you in case of an accident!" Hong Tao made a serious promise, and took Randy's automatic rifle.

"I always feel that if there is an accident, you will kill me without hesitation...Damn it, I really don't want to go out with you!" Randy understood it, and he thought he was the bait.But the gun was already in Hong Tao's hands, and it was too late to say anything now.

"Tudu... Hey, foreign devil, why are you running here alone? Do you want to run away! Where's Brother Hong?" Randy's appearance also startled Jiao San and Lin Na. After slowing down the speed of the car, Lin Na was sitting on the back seat holding the handle and her mouth was moving all the time. It took a while before the motorcycle approached.

"Unfortunately, he is hiding somewhere and aiming a gun at you..." Randy didn't even bother to explain, and sat down on the side of the road to light a cigarette, refusing to let Jiao San.

"Why did you two come back so early?" At this moment, Hong Tao came out from the back of the car with the gun on his shoulder, as if nothing had happened.

"Of course it's a big discovery! Come on, lend me the guy on your waist to drive a couple of times, there's no one else here, hurry up!" Jiao San saw HK45 rather than Hong Tao.

His enthusiasm for guns is much higher than that of Hong Tao. He expressed his desire to play with guns many times last night, but was rejected.There are so many people, who will give it and who will not. The specific distribution and storage of weapons will have to wait until the heads of all departments sit together to discuss a solution after the move.

"...Let's get down to business first!" Hong Tao reluctantly pulled out the gun, checked the safety, and stopped halfway through handing it over.

"Let Sister Lin tell you that she is better with my mouth... Bring it, hehehe... It's quite heavy... Chirp, Chirp..." Jiao San pointed behind him, and the vicious dog took the gun over , raised his hand towards the shopping mall building and fired a few bursts, no longer paying attention to who Hong Tao was, and probably wouldn't return the gun until he emptied the magazine.

"Brother Jiao, Brother Jiao, slow down, save two rounds for me..." At this moment, Pan Wenxiang, who was poking around in the inflatable model, also came to life, ignoring the dust all over his body, he got up and went to Jiao San's side.The one who barks is called sweet, the one who laughs is called cheap, the back is bent, the appearance of nodding and bowing is worse than broken reminder.

It's strange to say that, except for the fact that Hong Tao fooled him once when they first met, his usual attitude is still very kind.On the contrary, Jiao San didn't show any good looks, and even said that they were handicapped and brain-dead.

But in the end, several young people in the group, including Zhang Tao, were obviously much closer to Jiao San than to Hong Tao, and they pretended not to hear them when they were scolded, and they always licked their faces and moved closer.

"Here..." Seeing Pan Wenxiang's unpromising virtue, Hong Tao pulled a spare magazine from his waist and gestured like a dog.

"It's not rare, I have Brother Jiao too!" Pan Wenxiang resolutely turned his head away with a look of disgust.

"I don't know what's good or bad...you three, bring this back! Come on, Nana, I can drive a motorcycle, so I'll take you for a ride!" Hong Tao rolled his eyes when his subordinates pouted him in public, neither annoyed nor annoyed, Turning around and walking towards the motorcycle, he sent a personal invitation to Lin Na while arranging work.

It is good to be a leader, to meddle in private affairs and public affairs casually, if you want to deal with you every minute, you will be upright, and even have to abduct other people's girlfriends, in the name of caring for family members.

"Okay..." Lin Na also cooperated very well, happily sat on the back seat, and hugged her very tightly, pressing the soft meat to one side, and it overflowed from the stab-proof suit.

"Damn! Come back to me... bang bang bang..." Now Jiao San stopped snarling and gritted his teeth anxiously, but the motorcycle had already sped out, and he had nothing to do but to shoot at Hong Tao's back with his gun in the air nothing.

In fact, Jiao San was also in a hurry. It was only a few hundred meters from the entrance of the shopping mall to the small courtyard. Hong Tao had already arrived before he could sum up the specific data on Lin Na's chest through his back.

In fact, he couldn't sum it up after another half an hour of riding. If he could still feel such a detailed feeling through the thick protective gear, then the person sitting behind was not Lin Na, but Schwarzenegger.

Sitting in the shade of a tree at the entrance of the small courtyard, drinking tea with the breeze blowing on the lake, in terms of this alone, it is more pleasant now than before the cataclysm.Because there are few people, there is no traffic and noise coming and going, and there are more crisp and sweet birdsong, as well as grass and wild flowers that can be seen everywhere.

Cataclysm is definitely a catastrophe for human beings, but it is a real opportunity for animals and plants.Without this disaster, they will always face the threat of human beings. A species will become extinct if they don’t pay attention, and if they don’t keep it all, they will become a meal on the plate.

But now the danger is completely lifted, and I don't know how these animals and plants learned that the natural enemy was in bad luck, so they immediately counterattacked and began to expand wildly.

There are too many birds, no matter how tightly the windows are closed every morning, you will still be woken up by various birdsong, as if gloating.Even the rare waterfowl began to appear on the lake, not the so-called wild ducks that were semi-artificially raised, but real waterfowl that could not be named!

There are more plants, clumps of green are drilled on the roof, on the wall, at the corner, and on the sidewalk, and the scale is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. It is simply a change of appearance every day.

There were more insects. When Hong Tao was fishing a few days ago, he saw a large group of dragonflies chasing and killing small flying insects on the water surface, including a few blue-green figures.

Old man!This huge dragonfly basically disappeared in the second ring road when Hong Tao was in middle school, and has not been seen for decades.Now that they have received the good news of human beings' misfortune, they finally dare to return to their hometown to live, and they landed on the fishing rod unscrupulously, flapping their wings provocatively.

Although the number of fish in the water has not increased significantly, Hong Tao believes that as long as he gets through this winter, everything will change drastically.

In the future, this city... No, all cities in the world will be jointly owned by a small number of humans and a large number of animals and plants.The longer the time dragged on, the stronger the power of animals and plants.It won't be long before Bao Buqi finds a few malicious wolves when he goes out in the morning, or a eager king of the jungle!

"The days go by so fast. It will be a full month in two days. I really can't bear to leave here. Although there is a big park in my new home, there is no lake. I always feel that something is missing." Lin Na seemed to be a little touched by the scene, Start moaning.

"That's simple. I'll lend you and Jiao San the yard. It's not far away anyway. If you have time, come and visit!" Hong Tao, as cold-blooded as ever, slammed back at this meaningless emotion.

Chapter 122 Lonely Beauty?

"Hahaha, I'm the women's director, and Jiao San is also the team leader, a real middle-level and high-level leader! Everyone is a cup of wine to release military power. You are good, and a cup of tea is won. How can there be such a good thing!"

Lin Na is not afraid of Hong Tao's mouth when it comes to chatting in casual articles. You have something to say and she has nothing to say. From time to time, she can come up with an allusion or something.

"Smart! I dare not say too much, but with your ability, you can manage a hundred or ten people in an orderly manner. Jiao San...he is just a puddle of mud, no one is watching, he can't do good things, and he can't do bad things. If there are some places where I can barely be considered a person, I just make do with my heart, and I haven't forgotten that I am a man at the critical moment."

Good is good. It's not like he can't praise anyone who can make Hong Tao fancy, but there is a huge difference between complimenting a woman and a man. The former is a real compliment, while the latter sounds like a curse.

"You don't need to praise him in different ways, I think he is quite accurate. But today, I met an opponent, and there is someone who hasn't figured it out until now. He came back so early to let you make up your mind."

As the saying goes, it is better to quarrel with a sensible person than to talk to a foolish one.Hong Tao's comment on Jiao San did not change at all in Lin Na's ears, and she understood it 100%.But she didn't continue to expand on this issue, but changed the subject to talk about others.

"Who? With our dozens of materials, no one except Sister Shu and Randy has this ability?"

Hong Tao has never seen a person who can make Lin Na puzzled and frown.Shu Yulan is older, with a restrained breath; Randy is a foreigner, with a very different way of thinking.Don't say that Lin Na can't figure these two out, and she still can't fully understand them.

"It's a newly discovered survivor, big beauty! Really, don't curl your lips, you will be a real man if you don't drool when you see it!" Lin Na just started, but was interrupted by Hong Tao's disdainful expression, in order to prove herself What you said is true, even if you don't like it, you have to justify the name of the other party.

"Newly discovered? Where is it? Just one person?" Lin Na was really wrong this time. The number of beauties she has seen is probably not even one percent of Hong Tao's. The saliva must be 100% invisible. It's not even possible to have a heartbeat, at most it's squinting and looking carefully, [-]% appreciate it, and [-]% find fault.

"Just one person... Here, it's a school. She stood on the roof and waved the flag at us. The school gate was locked, and there was only one zombie inside. She had already smashed it to death with a dumbbell. It is said that she was standing on the roof. It was smashed. I have seen her ID card, and it is true that she lives upstairs next to the school. When the disaster happened, she just woke up, heard the voices of other residents in the building, and saw the scene in the yard below from the window , and immediately used the ladder in the corridor to climb over the wall and went to the elementary school. She knew that there was no one there at night, only an old janitor at the gate. After that, she hid in the school cafeteria, but she did not lack for food and drink. We passed by yesterday She heard the radio at that time, and quickly found a flag, and heard it again today, and immediately went to the roof to call for help." In order not to waste time asking and answering, Lin Na told the whole story of this morning in one breath.

"What did you mean when you said you couldn't see her through?" Hong Tao listened carefully, building a rough topographic map of that area in his mind while listening.He has never been to this school, but he knows its location, east of Xishiku Church.

In the three years of junior high school in a certain life, he almost stepped on this area, because here is the first Korean cold noodles opened in Beijing.At that time, a bowl of cold noodles and a plate of chili mixed with dog meat or dried pollack was a very good meal.

However, after listening to the report, no abnormalities were found. The single woman woke up in the middle of the night and immediately ran to a familiar and relatively safe place to take refuge in a familiar and relatively safe place. Similar broadcasts rush to call for help... Shouldn't they?Is it unreasonable?
