Chapter 157 Invisible Danger

You Xi moved silently to the door. The door of the private ward was different from the double ward. It was a single door, and there was no visible glass window on the door panel. Instead, it was replaced with a cat's eye.

At this time, in an isolated hospital, someone who ignored the isolation requirements and suddenly ran out to knock on the door was a bit wrong.

She closed the door panel and looked out through the cat's eye. There was no one in the dark corridor.

No one?

You Xi frowned. She clearly heard the knock on the door, and she didn't hear the other party's footsteps leaving. How could there be no one outside the door?

She stood inside the door, without making a sound, nor opening the door, and even without moving her feet, even her breathing was restrained to the weakest.

She waited for a long time, and just when she wanted to leave the door and go back to the sofa to sleep, the knock on the door sounded again, just like before, two gentle knocks, neither fast nor slow.

This time, because she was standing by the door, You Xi could easily distinguish that the knock on the door came from under the door.

Because of the limitations of cat's eyes and the dim lights in the corridor, there was a blind spot at the bottom of the door near the ground. She had not paid attention to this area before, because she had not thought that someone would hide in that corner after knocking on the door.

You Xi adjusted her posture, looked under the door through the cat's eyes, and then saw a small figure.

Judging from the figure, it should be a child, at most five or six years old. She didn't notice it before because of her small age and small body, and she was squatting there curled up.

You Xi still didn't say anything. After a while, the other party seemed to be unable to hold back. Not only did she knock on the door again, she also made a weak voice with a pitiful crying tone: "Is anyone there? It's so dark outside... I'm so scared..."

This was a childish female voice. Because it was crying and timid, it sounded even more pitiful.

You Xi remained unmoved from beginning to end. In her opinion, the whole thing was wrong.

In the middle of the night, in an isolated hospital, who would let such a small child walk around? What's more, there are nurses on duty on every floor of the inpatient building. How could the nurses ignore a child like this appearing alone in the corridor?

The other party cried a few times, but there was no movement at all in the door.

Suddenly, the crying stopped. Youxi saw the curled up little figure slowly raise its head and show a vicious smile in the direction of the cat's eyes: "I know you are in there..."

Youxi met a pair of inorganic blood pupils in the dark. The skin on the other person's face was completely gone. Except for the eyes, the other facial features became bloody. Because of the action of laughing, she opened her mouth wide, revealing white teeth and bright red gums.

This is a BLOOD mutant!

From the looks of it, she should be a complete mutant, but her language function is not only not lost, but she also knows how to hide outside the door and pretend to be pitiful, asking her to open the door.

Youxi suddenly remembered that although the lights were not turned on in the ward, there was an automatic sensing dim light on the wall of the porch near the ground. The original purpose was to provide some lighting for people entering the room at night.

The sensor light is very weak. If someone is standing outside the door, she can't detect it through the door. But if the other person is squatting, it's a different story. She can see the dim light from the gap under the door and judge whether there is someone behind the door.

So, this is why the other person is squatting there?

She always knew there was someone behind the door.

If it were someone else, even if they didn't curiously open the door to check because they didn't see anyone at first, they would open the door out of sympathy when they heard such weak and timid helpless crying.

The infected have evolved?

So fast?

The three-edged bayonet appeared in Youxi's hand. She wanted to go out and deal with the other party, but she thought of the surveillance in the hospital corridor and the police outside the hospital. If she acted rashly, she might be recorded on video and cause trouble for her and You Zhengqing. If it was just her, she could change her face and go anywhere, but she was not alone now...

During the few seconds that Youxi was thinking, the mutant outside the door suddenly disappeared. Even if the other party left in the dark corner of the corridor, the speed was too fast, and she did not hear any footsteps throughout the whole process. It seems that the

evolved infected not only have not degraded their language ability, but also have improved their IQ and physical fitness.

You Xi looked at the door panel in front of her, put a cabinet of similar size in the suite into the Xingwu warehouse, then returned to the door panel and quietly put the cabinet out, placing it close to the door, giving the door an extra layer of protection.

After that, she checked all the windows and balcony sliding doors, and after confirming that they were tightly closed and locked, she moved the sofa that was originally placed at the door of the room into the room and placed it next to You Zhengqing's bed.

She lay on the sofa and began to check the situation outside on the Internet.

During the day today, various videos and posts about mutants were still floating on the Internet, appearing and disappearing.

In fact, this is normal. After all, the mutants look too scary and bloody. The authorities don't want too many videos and photos of this kind to be circulated online to cause panic among other people. But starting from the evening, the videos on the Internet gradually became uncontrollable.

In the areas of Zhoucheng that were not isolated and blocked, mutants or semi-mutants appeared again.

Family members who were originally thought to have only skin problems had their flesh rotten and peeled off overnight. Some of them still had the ability to speak, and they were tearing their own flesh while begging their family members to save them. No one could stand watching their family members begging in pain, and most people chose not to call the police.

But they don't know that asking for help and showing weakness are the instinctive manifestations of mutants. In order to complete the mutation smoothly, almost every mutant will cry and show weakness to the people around him at this stage, regardless of whether the other party is his family.

By the time the mutant completes the transformation and becomes a complete mutant, everything is too late...

Many residents have called the police and said that they heard screams or strange movements from other residents' homes in the same building. Usually when the rescuers arrived, those residents' homes have become crime scenes.

Whether it is mutants killing normal humans or normal humans being forced to beat the mutant's family to death, this is a bizarre nightmare for those who still have reason.

The house was full of blood and even body parts. Even the police officers who had experienced several homicide cases could not suppress the urge to vomit.

Although there were police officers outside to stop other residents, there were still people hiding everywhere and taking pictures of everything in the house with their mobile phones.

In the end, these videos and photos were circulated in every private group and every fair platform. They were banned and published again. New videos were constantly uploaded and could not be stopped at all.

In addition to Zhoucheng, three cities in Huaguo also appeared in the same videos one after another. Most of them were cities with international airports. Many of the backgrounds were isolated hotels next to the airport, and others were various random locations.

Only then did the public know about the establishment of quarantine areas at the airport. Some people also uploaded the same videos of several foreign cities, saying that it was a few days ago, and it was banned as soon as it was launched, but now it can no longer be banned.

After reading this, Youxi realized that L City was not the first city to have BLOOD mutation patients. About half a month ago, such patients had already appeared in a small city in F Continent.

But because F Continent has always been a concentrated area for various epidemics, and the local officials have been strictly guarding against the secrets, the news has not spread.

But on the contrary, the infection has quietly spread.

So strictly speaking, she came to the mission world half a month after the end of the world. No wonder it was rated as a medium to high difficulty world. The time she arrived was when the full outbreak occurred.

This night, the chaos outside was even worse than last night. The BLOOD patients hibernate during the day and come out at night, and the night is their home ground. Roars, cries for help and screams mixed together in all parts of the city.

The hospital became a relatively safe area because it was surrounded by a temporary isolation wall.

However, new infected people also appeared inside the hospital. Several major infection points were in other buildings. Their hospital building has been quiet all the time, but You Xi has always remained vigilant, because there is an evolved infected person in this building. She can think, hide herself, and attack humans silently...

You Zhengqing woke up when he heard a robbery outside. The robbery was very close, as if it was just outside the hospital.

He turned his head and saw You Xi standing by the window. She was gently opening the blinds and observing the situation outside with a solemn face. She probably noticed his movement and turned to look at him: "Brother, do you want to wear earplugs and continue to sleep?"

"Is that a robbery?"

"Yes, a group of mutants just ran outside the hospital's isolation wall and clashed with the police officers who were originally guarding outside the isolation wall. The mutants' attack power was too strong and there were too many of them, so the police had to use their hands to rob them." After You

Xi finished speaking, she walked around the sofa beside the bed and came to him.

She noticed that You Zhengqing's face was very bad, his lips were pale, and he was still shaking slightly.

You Xi reached out and touched the other person's forehead: "You have a fever? It's so hot, how long have you had a fever? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't notice it either, don't worry, it must have started after I fell asleep." You Zheng cleared his cough a few times. His originally healthy body had very poor resistance due to several chemotherapy treatments. He would get sick if he caught a cold or didn't sleep well.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get the medicine."

"Don't go out, it's not safe outside--" The other person worriedly held her back.

"Don't worry, I have medicine in my bag, which I prepared when I was studying abroad before. I won't go out, don't worry." You Xi went outside and took out the antipyretic patch, antipyretic medicine, ear thermometer and other things from her bag (Xingwu Warehouse), and returned to the room.

She took his temperature first, 39.3, a high fever. Such a high temperature definitely didn't rise overnight. He must have felt uncomfortable before he went to bed.

You Xi poured him some water and told him to take medicine, "Brother, don't bear it just because you're afraid of bothering me. No matter when, as long as you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me, do you hear me?"

You Zhengqing took the lecture obediently without any rebuttal.

You Xi sighed, went to the bathroom to get a cold towel, wiped his palms, arms and face, and finally put a fever patch on his forehead. Finally, he took out a pair of earplugs for him to wear: "Have a good rest, and you should be fine after another sleep."

The fever-reducing medicine has a sleeping effect. You Zhengqing put on the earplugs and soon fell asleep again.

The conflict outside the hospital's isolation wall has ended. Half of the mutants died and half escaped, and half of the police officers also died. The remaining people were covered in the mutants' blood. You Xi frowned. Without protective measures, the fight would be a complete loss for both sides.

You Xi leaned back on the sofa and continued to rest while watching over You Zhengqing.

Before dawn, the door of the private ward was knocked again.

You Xi woke up quickly, and at the same time, she found several more messages on her muted mobile phone.

The message was from Lou Rui, saying that the situation in Zhoucheng was not good. He and Kong's father had arranged to transfer to a city where no mutations had broken out. He knew that she was in the hospital with You Zhengqing, so he had arranged a helicopter.

The helicopter will arrive in the early morning and land on the top of the hospital building. He will come before dawn and take them to the top floor to wait.

At the same time, he also told her that because of the limited space on the helicopter, it is impossible to carry everyone in the hospital building, so he hopes that she will follow him to transfer quietly.

You Xi looked at the time. It was past four in the morning, so the person knocking on the door should be Lou Rui.

She moved the cabinet blocking the door and checked again through the peephole. After confirming that there was no one else outside the door except Lou Rui, she opened the door.

"Are you okay?" Lou Rui closed the door with his backhand.

"It's okay." You Xi shook her head. "You can just call me. You don't have to come in person. Tell me the time. I will take my brother to the top floor to wait for the plane on time."

"I'm worried." Lou Rui said, and put the silencer in his hand into the space. "Where's You Zhengqing? Let's go now."

"He has a fever. He just took the medicine not long ago. I don't think he will wake up." You Xi pushed a light wheelchair from the corner of the room. "Use this."

Lou Rui nodded, entered the room, reached out and held You Zhengqing in the wheelchair. You Xi took a thick blanket and covered him with it, holding him tightly.

Then he took two bottles of water from the bedside and put them in the bag next to the wheelchair, as if he was afraid that he would be thirsty when he woke up.

"Let's go." Lou Rui opened the door of the private ward, took out the gun again, and walked in front.

You Xi pushed the wheelchair out of the ward, and did not forget to close the door again.

There was only a dim night light in the corridor, and the doors of other private wards were also closed, and many of them were empty. There was an obvious bloodstain on the floor of the corridor. It was unknown what had passed here. They did not choose the elevator and went directly to the stairwell.

With You Xi's current strength, he could easily pick up the wheelchair and You Zhengqing and go upstairs. Lou Rui kept walking in front at a few quick steps to check the surrounding situation.

From the eighth floor to the top floor, there is only a distance of three floors.

However, when they reached the staircase door on the tenth floor, Lou Rui stopped. He turned around and made a hissing gesture towards You Xi at the bottom of the stairs, then mouthed to her: There is something...

You Xi intuitively felt that the thing he was talking about should be the one that appeared outside the ward in the first half of the night. Evolved mutants would hide and attack, which made them difficult to deal with.

Because to get from the tenth floor to the rooftop, they need to go through the corridor and take another staircase, so they have to go out.

Lou Rui turned around and motioned for her to wait here while he went out to investigate.

You Xi moved the wheelchair to the door at the entrance of the stairs, and watched Lou Rui silently open the door and walk into the dark and long corridor.

But after three or two minutes, there was a sudden movement in the originally silent corridor. It was the sound of a silenced hand grab, followed by a suppressed cry of pain, accompanied by chaotic footsteps and collisions.

After that, all the sounds disappeared.

Lou Rui outside was silent, but the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

You Xi lowered his eyelids, glanced at the person in the wheelchair by the door, and quickly unscrewed the two bottles of water. A moment later, she held the Mitsubishi bayonet in her hand, pushed open the door of the stairwell, and walked out quietly.

She took only two steps, and had almost no chance to check before she heard the familiar silenced snatch sound, five times in a row, and each bullet hit her body heavily.

You Xi's body tilted, covering her waist and abdomen where she was hit by bullets, and her body went limp to the ground, and she fell to her knees with a plop.

A familiar pair of legs appeared on the floor of the corridor in front of her. Just now, these legs had been walking in front of her, clearing the way for her and alerting her to the danger ahead, but now this person himself has become the biggest danger.

Luo Rui removed the protective arc of light and pointed his gun at her forehead: "I'm sorry--"

Before he finished the three words, a sharp blade appeared out of nowhere and swept past, cutting the weapon in his hand in half.

You Xi jumped up instantly, and at the same time, the controlled ice blade flew away and pierced directly into the opponent's body.

Under the dim light, there was no expression or pain on her delicate and cold face, and there was no blood on the place where she was shot.
