Hospital
The next morning, Peng Gaoxuan drove the car and headed southeast of the community according to Lu Tingxiao's instructions.
After walking about two kilometers, the bus was stopped by a row of stone pillars.
Judging from the situation, there is a pedestrian area in the city center ahead.
Peng Gaoxuan backed up the car and said, "Let's go around it."
Lu Tingxiao stood up and walked to the driver's seat: "Wait."
He looked ahead, squinting his eyes slightly, as if feeling something.
After about ten seconds, Peng Gaoxuan tapped the steering wheel impatiently: "What do you mean?"
After all, parking here is risky.
Lu Tingxiao opened his eyes: "I can't feel the exact distance. I have to get off the car and walk forward."
Peng Gaoxuan was stunned: "Get off? It's very risky."
Ling Shi rushed to Lu Tingxiao's side: "Can't we take a detour?"
Lu Tingxiao pointed ahead and said, "This is a pedestrian zone. If our destination is within this area, taking a detour will be useless."
Ling Shi didn't say anything and looked ahead.
He felt it too.
Indeed, there is a direction, but no exact distance.
He pointed forward: "In that direction."
Lu Tingxiao turned his head to look at him: "Can you feel it too?"
Ling Shi nodded: "This thing..."
It's very strange, it's a kind of... déjà vu feeling, but I can't remember what it is.
It seems like it has happened before, but not exactly the same.
Lu Tingxiao: "Do you know what it is?"
Ling Shi thought about it and shook his head: "It feels vaguely familiar, but I can't remember what it is."
Peng Gaoxuan: "What do you mean? Do you really want to get off the car?"
Ling Shi patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Peng, even if you take a detour, you may not be able to avoid the corrupt people."
"Let's get off."
"I know your concerns. I'm sorry for the hard work you have put in."
Peng Gaoxuan sighed and pulled the handbrake: "Let's maintain the previous formation and let Xiaogang and Junzi follow me."
They all got off the bus, crossed the stone pier and walked into the pedestrian area.
Leading the way, Xiang Chongyi observed the surrounding environment.
Peng Gaoxuan brought Xiaogang and Junzi behind him, and Yi Yan was also protecting him.
Lai Xinyuan followed in the middle, holding the gun in his hand.
Next to him is Ning Fu, the core protected person.
Zuo Hao followed behind them, protecting these two fragile ones.
Ling Shi and Lu Tingxiao stood shoulder to shoulder to cover the rear.
They stepped into a not-too-big square. In the center was a strange sculpture of an indescribable shape, like a can that had exploded from the middle.
Across the square is a straight pedestrian street.
There were bustling shops on both sides of the street, mostly brand clothing stores, including several sports brands that have been in business for a hundred years, such as Nike and Cork.
There are also many drink shops and restaurants that bring together a variety of cuisines from around the world...
But now... it's like the pause button was suddenly pressed at some point in the past and everything stopped.
No one spoke. They walked forward at an even pace.
After walking for twenty minutes, I almost reached the end of the pedestrian street.
Lu Tingxiao suddenly said, "Wait."
He raised his head slightly and looked at a half-hidden ten-story building behind the corner in front of him.
Ling Shi followed his gaze and saw a red cross on the wall of the tall building with "Ruihua Hospital" written next to it.
Lu Tingxiao took a deep breath and whispered softly, "This is it."
Ling Shi ordered to the front: "Xiao Yi, hospital."
He felt it too.
That attractive call came from Ruihua Hospital.
He nodded to Chongyi and led the team towards the hospital.
As soon as they turned the corner at the end of the street, everyone was stunned when they saw the big iron gate of Ruihua Hospital.
The hospital's double iron gates, which could accommodate four vehicles running side by side, were blocked by hundreds of corrupt people.
Most of them sat quietly, some completely blocking the gate, others sitting in the yard and on the steps of a building near the gate.
A few lingered outside the gate.
It's like a group of demons guarding the most precious treasure in their hearts.
Ling Shi blurted out: "Fuck! How do we get in?"
Xiang Chongyi, who was in front, was already retreating quickly. His voice was still calm: "Don't think about how to get in, think about how to escape."
In just a few seconds, the wandering corrupted man was already walking towards them.
Lu Tingxiao took half a step forward, but was grabbed tightly by Ling Shi: "Xiao Yi is right, retreat first."
But Lu Tingxiao didn't move and stared at the hospital for three full seconds.
Ling Shi pulled him and said, "Don't faint again."
Lu Tingxiao turned his head and glanced at him.
Ling Shi added fuel to the fire: "Who knows if you can wake up every time? What if..."
"Hey!" Lu Tingxiao interrupted, "You can persuade me, but don't curse me."
He shifted his weight backward.
Ling Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
The others had already consciously run behind them, moving at an extremely fast speed.
Even including Ning Fu.
As for Yi Yan who couldn't run fast...Yi Yan was special, he was being held in Peng Gaoxuan's arm.
Ling Shi inexplicably found it somewhat funny.
But a roar from a corrupted man behind him brought him back to reality.
Fortunately, they were faster than the corrupt people. Everyone ran along the straight pedestrian street back to the bus, jumped on the bus, and sat down.
Peng Gaoxuan stepped on the accelerator, quickly reversed the car, and drove away.
Looking at the corrupt people who were getting farther and farther away, Ling Shi suddenly remembered something.
In the corridor of the air-raid shelter, a corrupt man quickly chased up behind Shi Liang, which forced Shi Liang to use Xiaoru to block the knife.
That corrupted person is so fast? Can he catch up with Shi Liang?
Ling Shi had a not-so-good feeling in his heart.
He didn't come to his senses until he felt a strong slap on his arm.
"Are you scared silly by so many corrupt people?" Lu Tingxiao said with a sarcastic look on his face.
Ling Shi glanced out the window.
Wow, what kind of extreme speed is Peng Gaoxuan going? He's almost at the residential complex.
Ling Shi's voice was calm: "Yeah. I was scared silly. I won't go to the hospital. I'll go back to the community to rest for a while and go directly to the base tomorrow."
Lu Tingxiao was stunned for a rare moment, but he smiled in a second. He slapped Ling Shi on the shoulder and said, "Little hedgehog, you don't have to hold a grudge like this, right?"
"They're just a bunch of brainless rotten people. Can they scare you?"
Ling Shi also slapped the back of his hand and pushed it away: "Next time you say something rude, think about the consequences."
As they were talking, the bus had already entered the residential complex and slowly stopped at the empty roadside.
Peng Gaoxuan pulled the handbrake, turned around, and objected: "Do we have to go to this hospital? What should we do with all those corrupt people at the door?"
Ling Shi didn't say anything and glanced at Lu Tingxiao.
Lu Tingxiao rubbed the back of his hand, which had turned red from Ling Shi's slap, and asked, "Did you feel everything that happened in the hospital today?"
"So what if we feel it?" Peng Gaoxuan said, "Even if it's the elixir of immortality, we're not lucky enough to get it."
Lu Tingxiao ignored him and looked at other people.
Everyone whose eyes met his couldn't help but nodded.
“I feel it.”
"Me too."
Lu Tingxiao nodded. "That's fine. We'll split into two teams. I'll lead one team to lure away the corrupt people, and the second team will go to the hospital to look for something."
As soon as these words were spoken, the car suddenly became quiet.
In theory, this is possible.
But... with so many corrupt people, who will lead them away?
Lu Tingxiao leads a team...who dares to follow him?
Seeing that no one said anything, Ling Shi cleared his throat and said, "Let me join your team, along with a few others, and we'll go and lure the corrupt people away."
With him around, others can always feel more at ease.
"No." Lu Tingxiao refused: "You lead the second team and go find the things."
Ling Shi was stunned: "Why?"
If this arrangement were to happen, I'm afraid no one would be willing to follow him.
Lu Tingxiao said bluntly: "I don't feel comfortable if someone else goes to look for it."
Well, this will offend other people even more.
Ling Shi sighed.
I feel like this guy is more difficult to deal with than a corrupt person.
But what to do?
He still has such high research value.
Forget it, for the sake of experimental specimens, I have to endure a little fatigue.
Ling Shi raised his head and looked at everyone: "How about this."
"I'm only taking Xiaoyi with me, and we're going to the hospital together."
"Everyone else, led by Peng Gaoxuan. Just distract the corrupted people and avoid direct confrontation. How do you think that is?"
He privately decided to expel Lu Tingxiao from leading the team and did not intend to listen to his argument.
Unexpectedly, Lu Tingxiao just chuckled and did not object.
Ling Shi: "As for Yi Yan and Ning Fu, go back to the house and wait. How is it?"
He reserved most of the combat power for Team One, and assigned it a captain who was able to convince the people, and even specified that the purpose of the mission was not to engage in confrontation.
This mission would be safer if we moved at the normal speed of humans.
Sure enough, Peng Gaoxuan thought about it and agreed: "Okay. Let's try to lure them away as far as possible. After we get rid of them, we'll meet up here."
Ling Shi nodded: "Okay."
At this point, he hesitated, then continued, "We currently don't have a very detailed understanding of the corrupted people's abilities. We must be prepared for extreme situations."
Peng Gaoxuan nodded: "Don't worry. I will pay attention."
Ling Shi: "Then let's rest for ten minutes before setting off."
Ten minutes later, except for Yi Yan and Ning Fu, everyone else set off again.
The bus drove out of the community, went around the pedestrian street, and stopped at a corner closer to the hospital.
After getting off the car, as agreed beforehand, Peng Gaoxuan led the team and led everyone to the hospital entrance.
Ling Shi and Xiang Chongyi hid a hundred meters behind them.
The corrupt people were brainless after all. After Peng Gaoxuan shouted at them and waved at them, they started chasing after them like a group of rats smelling something.
The queue was very long, with people piled up here and there, just like flying a kite.
When Ling Shi brought Xiang Chongyi to the door, there were only five or six corrupt people left.
They all lay on the steps to bask in the sun.
It’s not that they are afraid of luring the tiger away from the mountain, but they are too stupid to notice the bait.
At 11:00, they brushed against the wall, easily avoiding the attention of these idiots, and entered the first building in the yard.
Look at the sign at the entrance, this is the outpatient building.
After entering the hall, a whole row of registration windows appeared in front of Ling Shi.
In peaceful times, more than a dozen registration and payment windows like this are crowded from morning to night.
The place was bustling with people, and there were often quarrels and shouting from people cutting in line.
But now, there are many corpses lying here in a mess.
It seemed that one morning, while people were queuing up for numbers, death suddenly came.
The massacre here had taken place at least several days ago, and the corpses were already rotting and smelling foul. A disgusting smell filled the entire space.
Most people would have vomited if they saw such a scene.
However, as one of them had received rigorous military training and the other had tempered his character, they were both very calm.
Ling Shi concentrated his mind and felt that strange attraction, which was still upstairs.
He and Xiang Chongyi looked at each other and said, "Go upstairs."
The other party nodded.
They found the entrance to the stairs and went up step by step.
The empty corridor echoed with the sound of their footsteps, becoming increasingly quiet. This silence was tinged with a sense of strangeness and fear.
All the way to the sixth floor, Ling Shi stopped.
The stench of corpses became even stronger.
He turned to look at Chongyi, who nodded: "It's here."
Ling Shi could feel his heart pounding violently.
This is no longer the vague feeling of being summoned in the brain, but a real physical feeling.
At midnight, we turned and went up to the sixth floor.
This floor was large, arranged in a U-shaped pattern. Signs stood beside the staircases: Area 601 - Cardiology, Area 602 - Hematology, Area 603 - Neurology...
He walked forward step by step, and the throbbing in his heart became more and more obvious.
Area 601.
Boom, boom, my heart was beating more violently than ever before.
This is it.
