"It's finally over."
Xu Xing's first instinct was not to collect the spoils of war, but to use the broken half of his axe to support himself as he stood up, albeit shakily.
They struggled to move to the spot where Susie had collapsed.
The dog had already lay down beside Susie, trying to warm her with its body heat. Its constant whimpering revealed its worry.
Susie was in very poor condition at the moment. Her face was completely bloodless, and her once neat hair looked somewhat messy.
Xu Xing bent down and checked the pulse. Having spent so many years in the apocalypse of his previous life, he still had some medical skills.
"Fortunately, I was just exhausted and fainted temporarily. The only pity is that my level has dropped to the mid-stage of level one."
But as long as he's alive, with Xu Xing's wealth, none of this is a problem.
The one with the most serious injuries right now is Bai Ling, who is still in Su Xixi's arms.
Compared to before, its entire body had shrunk considerably, resembling an abused, starving, and emaciated kitten.
Her level dropped to the early stage of level one. If things had been any worse, she probably would have lost her life.
Xu Xing took a breath. This battle was the most dangerous one he had experienced since his rebirth.
Fortunately, his girlfriend was alright, otherwise Xu Xing would have been mortified.
Xu Xing admitted that although his initial intentions in approaching Su Xixi were not pure, some things remained in his heart after this incident.
You said you were going to protect someone, but it turned out that someone protected you. You really can't judge a book by its cover. Su Xixi actually had a trick up her sleeve in the end.
However, this dangerous skill should absolutely not be used by her again except in emergencies.
At this point, Xu Xing had completely come to regard Su Xixi as his future wife.
Xu Xing glanced down at the time and realized it was almost 7 p.m. The sunlight streaming through the windows into the building made it noticeably dim.
Now that the biggest hidden danger has been resolved, private hospitals are actually relatively safe places. Perhaps we can spend the night here and leave tomorrow.
After all this, Xu Xing dared not be complacent. Who could guarantee that such alien zombies would not appear again when walking at night?
Xu Xing squatted down, put one arm around Wen Xueqing's shoulder, and then used the other arm to wrap around her ankles and lift her up in his arms.
Find a clean, empty hospital room, place yourself on clean bedding, and rest well.
High-end private hospitals often have single rooms. For example, the intensive cancer wards on the sixth floor are never fully occupied, which is why they are available.
"Boss, this is what I found inside that monster's body."
Ye Kai handed three dark red crystal cores to Xu Xing.
"How can there be three? Are you sure you found them all there?"
Xu Xing pointed to the large piece of rotten flesh.
Ye Kai said with certainty, "They were indeed found there. It seems that there was one in each of the three heads."
Hiss~
Xu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility.
Instead of rushing to prove it, Ye Kai and I used sealed bags to clean up all the foul-smelling corpses.
Xu Xing and Ye Kai worked together to pry open the elevator doors, which were completely out of power and malfunctioning, and threw bags of garbage down with their bare hands.
After finishing this task, Xu Xing searched most of the wards on the sixth floor but found no trace of zombies or humans.
The entire sixth floor has only one room left, which is the largest laboratory in the hospital, mainly dedicated to contributing to the fight against cancer.
The pungent smell of disinfectant was also coming from here; the laboratory door had already been broken open.
The various scenes inside made Xu Xing understand everything completely.
The laboratory is filled with all sorts of sophisticated instruments, mainly for research on cancer.
On the far right of the laboratory, there are three huge, transparent, cracked water tanks filled with liquid, all of which is formalin used for preservation.
On the pillar below, there is also detailed information about the internal experimental subjects.
Xu Xing then learned that the three people inside were actually three brothers with severe brain cancer.
He had only lost consciousness a day or two ago, which could already be considered physical death.
However, the researchers kept sending electrical signals to the three people's heads to keep them active, and even provided them with blood and oxygen through tubes.
In layman's terms, of the three people's three souls and seven spirits, only one soul remained, and the rest were lost.
When the apocalypse occurred, due to various coincidences, the three of them miraculously turned into zombies and even gained a certain level of intelligence.
Even more incredibly, they actually merged together, gaining the conditions to release their mental energy. Miraculously, they were able to control and possess zombies that had no consciousness whatsoever.
So after they came out, they first ate all the patients on the sixth floor, and then, realizing the group of corpse infants below, they released their mental energy threads and took over them directly.
What happened next was after Xu Xing and his group arrived.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xing actually managed to pull off this bizarre incident.
Looking at the three crystal cores in his hand, Xu Xing couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't easy to get resources; he almost lost his life because of it.
Then, to make the smell more pleasant, Xu Xing used the sliver of energy he had just recovered to take out super glue from his spatial storage and neatly glued the fragments on the ground together, quickly repairing the three water tanks.
He called to Ye Kai to put the formaldehyde back on the ground, piece by piece.
Finally, everything was settled, and there were no more dangers in the entire building.
Xu Xingcai finally had a little free time to sit next to Su Xixi and carefully tidy up her hair.
As darkness fell, Xu Xing remained with Su Xixi, taking out a flashlight, turning on the diffused light, and shining it on the ceiling of the ward.
Perhaps stimulated by the light source, Su Xixi's eyes trembled slightly, and she opened them a crack.
"Where is this? Where is Xu Xing?"
Su Xixi's voice was weak; the immense exertion had left her speaking with a feeble quality.
"I'm here. We're still in the hospital. All the problems have been solved, and the zombies have all been cleared out. We'll go back after you've recovered."
"But... what if something happens to the people at home? After all, if they think we won't be coming back, they might betray us. Maybe we should go back quickly."
Su Xixi's voice was somewhat anxious, afraid that she might delay something important because of herself.
Xu Xing sneered and said, "I'm afraid of some zombies and mutated beasts now because they evolved too quickly in the early stages. I don't believe there are many superhumans who are more powerful than me."
As for betrayal, humph! Then kill them.
After saying that, her tone softened again: "Now that you're awake, let's conserve our energy first."
