"Director Liu, that guy's back."
One of the young men was crouching by the window, looking down at the open space below.
The four of them gathered at the window, but because they were far away, they couldn't see Gu Lingxiao's condition clearly.
"He's alright, maybe he didn't notice what we were doing? Can we use the excuse of going out to find food to go back?" the nurse said nervously.
She now deeply regrets getting involved in the feud between Director Liu and the other two with Gu Lingxiao. She had only said a few words to them, but in a moment of impulsiveness, she listened to them.
But before long, Gu Lingxiao stumbled out and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Haha, it worked! That damn guy dared to hit me!"
A hearty laugh came from Director Liu's mouth. He thought to himself, "Who do you think you are? No one has ever dared to speak loudly to me before. Don't they know who I am?"
They dared not breathe loudly when facing zombies, but they were extremely ruthless when dealing with their own kind.
After exhaling the pent-up anger, hunger followed.
"Director Liu, can we go back? There's still plenty of food inside."
"A disabled person with two legs poses absolutely no threat to us."
Director Liu thought for a moment, "Let's wait a bit longer, just in case there's a trap. We'll take turns keeping watch tonight, and if that guy hasn't returned by tomorrow morning, we'll go."
The other three, though eager to speak, dared not object, as Director Liu's methods before the apocalypse still instilled some fear in them.
The sky grew completely dark.
Roar~
A roar echoed from afar, like a vengeful ghost—a sound they hadn't heard in nearly twenty days.
"What...what is that sound?"
They overheard Gu Lingxiao and Gu Lingchuan's conversation. The zombies had gray eyes and moved slowly, much like living corpses, so they couldn't make a sound.
The roar that is now appearing is terrifying.
"Perhaps it's the sound made by an animal after it mutated."
Time slipped by, and not a single person could sleep that night; hunger devoured their reason like a demon.
In the dimly lit room, Gu Lingchuan lay motionless on the bed, two wet patches on his pillow. Every second was agonizing, as if his soul was being burned by fire.
"Let me wipe your face," Li Yan said, bringing a damp towel to Gu Lingchuan's bedside.
"Help me into my wheelchair."
After a series of actions, Gu Lingchuan was seated in a wheelchair.
A blanket was draped over his legs, and beneath it, his hands gripped a gun tightly.
Time ticked by, and footsteps echoed in the corridor. Gu Lingchuan's eyes were fixed on the door, both hoping it was those four people and not hoping it was.
I hope that familiar face will open the door, I hope that everything yesterday was a lie, and that my brother just went out to find food.
The door was gently pushed open, and the heart that had been hanging in suspense died completely; the hatred in her eyes almost burst out of her sockets.
The two tiptoed in, looked around, and then stood up straight. Gu Lingxiao wasn't there.
They didn't even look at Gu Lingchuan; their gazes went straight to the cabinet behind the hospital bed. The cabinet was open, and inside were instant noodles, biscuits, canned fruit, and other food.
With difficulty, he shifted his gaze to the two people in the room: Gu Lingchuan's almost fiery eyes and the nurse behind the wheelchair.
Gu Lingchuan didn't fire directly at the two men; his suppressed voice rang out.
Did you guys plot against my brother?
"What about those two ungrateful bastards?"
To be honest, Gu Lingchuan's aura was still quite intimidating; it was the aura of someone who had long held a high position.
The two took a step back, then realized what was happening and cursed.
"Fuck you, so what if we did it?" They didn't waste any more words and pounced on Gu Lingchuan like hungry wolves seeing food.
Gu Lingchuan wanted to wait a little longer, but the two men pounced on him with wooden sticks.
Bang bang bang bang~
A piercing sound rang out, and the two who lunged forward felt a force poke them. No pain came, but fear took over their minds first.
"A gun? How could he have a gun?"
The two fell to the ground, and after a while, intense pain finally came.
One of them hit his neck, and blood gushed out. He tried to cover the bleeding spot with both hands, but it was too late. After convulsing for a while, he became completely still.
The remaining one was shot in the thigh and then in the abdomen, lying on the ground screaming in agony.
What about the other two?
The young man lying on the ground did not respond to Gu Lingchuan's question, but made various incomprehensible sounds in extreme fear.
Gu Lingchuan pushed the wheelchair into the corridor, but there were no other two people in sight.
"Grass"
The usually mild-mannered Gu Lingchuan cursed out loud; he never expected Liu Zhigang to be so cautious.
"Take the food and hide in another room," Gu Lingchuan said to Li Yan, who was hiding in a corner.
Such a commotion will definitely attract zombies. Even though it's on the third floor, the zombies might come up the stairs.
The nurse didn't dare to speak, and carried out Gu Lingchuan's orders with trembling hands.
"Chuan, Brother Chuan, let's go together." She was scared to be alone.
Meeting Gu Lingchuan's cold gaze, fear prevented her from speaking any further.
After entering, I closed the door.
Gu Lingchuan also went inside and locked the door.
Pushing the wheelchair to the person screaming in agony, he took out an irregularly shaped sphere about the size of a thumb from a Wahaha mineral water bottle.
It was milky white, somewhat like silicone, and was stuffed directly into the mouth of the young man on the ground.
This is what my brother pulled out of the head after killing a zombie; it only appears when there are two or three out of ten zombies.
My brother had previously noticed that these zombies were getting faster and faster, and suspected that they were continuing to evolve. This sphere might be a crystallization of the zombies' energy.
At the time, my younger brother wanted to let Liu Zhigang and the other two eat it to see if they would become stronger, but unfortunately he didn't let them.
A deep sense of regret filled my mind as I thought about it; these scumbags deserved to die.
Gu Lingchuan pushed the wheelchair back a short distance, pointing the gun in his hand at the struggling youth on the ground.
As time passed, the young man on the ground stopped crying and his movements gradually ceased.
Just when Gu Lingchuan thought it was useless, the young man on the ground began to convulse, sweat began to pour from his forehead, and his expression became distorted.
The visible muscles began to twitch, the blood vessels bulged, and it slowly stood up, just as Gu Lingchuan was about to fire.
Bang bang bang~
The bulging veins burst open, tearing the skin and staining the person red with blood, making them look like a blood gourd.
Finally, it fell straight to the ground.
After a while, Gu Lingchuan fired another shot into the head before pushing his wheelchair forward.
Tearing open the clothes covering the gunshot wound, the bullet hole in the abdomen had partially healed, and the bullet in the thigh had been squeezed out by the writhing muscles.
"What terrifying recovery ability!"
Feeling his legs go numb, Gu Lingchuan's eyes blazed with fury. If he had such terrifying regenerative abilities, the injury to his legs would be no problem at all.
