Sizzle~ Sizzle~
The exposed wires on the escape sign in the corner of the hospital wall were sparking.
A green light flickered, and the instant it lit up, you could see blackish-brown liquid splashing everywhere—on the walls, the floor, and even the ceiling.
The liquid on the ground had not completely solidified, and a gray-black sneaker made a squelching sound as it was stepped on.
The gaze moved upwards and saw a tall, imposing figure wearing a thick leather jacket, over which was a bulletproof vest, and his head was completely covered by a motorcycle helmet, making it impossible to see his face.
He had a bulging children's backpack slung over his left shoulder, the Pleasant Goat pattern on the backpack dyed red.
His right forearm was tightly wrapped with strips of cloth, and the fire axe he was holding was also wrapped in strips of cloth. The viscous liquid on the axe head stretched out in a long thread and finally dripped to the ground.
Smack~
Smack~
Her steps were somewhat hurried as she headed straight for the end of the corridor.
With a loud bang, Gu Lingxiao kicked open the locked door.
The room was somewhat dimly lit.
He threw down the children's backpack in his left hand.
Snap~
Turn on the flashlight.
The white light illuminated the entire room.
Two pairs of eyes were fixed on Gu Lingxiao in the room.
"What about the other four?" A deep, angry voice came from beneath the helmet.
"Ling Xiao, what's wrong?"
The young man lying on the hospital bed sat up with his hands on his hips and asked in confusion.
"Where are they?" Gu Lingxiao asked Gu Lingchuan again in an extremely agitated tone.
"They left shortly after you went out this morning. What happened?" He was used to his younger brother's questioning.
Gu Lingxiao ignored him and went to the other remaining person, a nurse, who was looking at him with fear.
Do you know what they've been doing?
He grabbed the nurse by the neck and asked.
"Wh-what?"
The eyes beneath the helmet were fixed on the nurse's eyes, showing no sign of guilt other than fear and a hint of dazedness.
At this point, Gu Lingxiao released his grip.
Fifteen days ago, the apocalypse broke out, just like the apocalypse in movies and TV shows, where people turned into zombies and bit anyone they saw.
Several other survivors from the hospital had gathered in this ward.
There were seven people in total: the two brothers, Gu Lingxiao and Gu Lingchuan, two nurses, Gu Lingchuan's attending physician, and his two assistants.
Those three scumbags, taking advantage of the fact that no one knew Gu Lingchuan's condition better than them, monopolized most of the food that Gu Lingxiao brought back.
But they didn't care about Gu Lingchuan's condition at all, only thinking about when he could get out of danger. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
If it weren't for Gu Lingchuan's damned kindness, these three would have been dead long ago, and they wouldn't have been able to ambush them today.
They hid some zombie blood in the index finger of their gloves, and also put broken needle tips inside.
Because they were genuine leather gloves with cotton inside, I thought they were just wet after washing them last night. When I first put them on, I didn't break the needle tip, so it didn't pierce my skin.
He didn't notice the needle prick in his finger until he was chopping down zombies. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he took off his glove after the battle, he discovered the needle stuck in his middle finger.
And those faintly visible black veins—even though he chopped off his index finger and strangled his arm, it still got infected, just much slower.
Gu Lingxiao came to Gu Lingchuan's bedside. "Gu Lingchuan, Gu Lingchuan, put away your saintly heart. Your saintly heart has cost you your legs, and this time you will lose my brother too."
"Hehe, but perhaps you don't care about me as a person."
After taking off his helmet, Gu Lingxiao's face was revealed, and he bore a striking resemblance to Gu Lingchuan.
Snap~
Gu Lingxiao lit a cigarette for himself.
Gu Lingchuan's face was extremely pale, even more so than when he lost his legs. Regret filled his mind. "How could this be? How could this be? How could they do this?"
At this moment, Gu Lingchuan seemed to have lost his soul and was talking to himself. His eyes behind his glasses were bloodshot. "I gave them some food when they left this morning. How did it turn out like this?"
After finishing his cigarette, Gu Lingxiao patted Gu Lingchuan's face with his left hand. "Looks like you've learned your lesson. I'm dead, but they're still alive. You have to live too, and live to avenge me."
"Did you hear me? You must live."
After saying this, Gu Lingxiao left.
"Little brother~"
Gu Lingxiao didn't listen to what Gu Lingchuan said next. He wasn't worried that the nurse would pose a danger to Gu Lingchuan because he had previously obtained a Type 92 pistol and 10 bullets.
Gu Lingxiao originally planned to find and kill the four people, and asking Gu Lingchuan to avenge him was just to give him a reason to live.
Unfortunately, I don't have much time left. I just felt a little reluctant to leave my brother. If I stay any longer, I probably won't be able to hold on for much longer.
At this moment, Gu Lingchuan's eyes were lifeless, his heart was empty, and he pressed the Type 92 pistol against his forehead. His heart was dead, and he thought of his brother's words before he left.
His eyes turned fierce. Death wasn't imminent. If he wasn't mistaken, those four would return. He still had plenty of food.
Furthermore, they were unaware that they possessed guns, and once they were certain that Ling Xiao had not returned, they would definitely come back to seize the food.
The nurse who had witnessed the whole process was also extremely bewildered. The killer had said that he only needed to take care of Gu Lingchuan's daily life to support himself, but now everything was over.
But where could she go? She dared not venture out amidst the terrifying zombies.
“Those three will definitely come back to steal the food. Once I get my revenge, you can take all the food here with you,” Gu Lingchuan’s voice brought the nurse back to reality.
The nurse nodded blankly without saying anything. There was indeed still a lot of food here, and maybe she could wait for rescue.
With hope in their hearts, their spirits lifted considerably. "Brother Chuan, I've prepared some food for you."
The four people didn't go far; they just hid in the newly built hospital building across the street. The building, which was constructed before the apocalypse, was empty.
So after the apocalypse broke out, there were no zombies in this building, and it was a good refuge except for the lack of food.
"Director Liu, will that guy be alright?"
Director Liu was a bald, middle-aged man. He didn't answer the nurse's questions. He wasn't sure either; who knew if those needles had actually pricked Gu Lingxiao?
To be honest, he regrets it now. If he had paid more attention to Gu Lingchuan's condition, he would have had food and wouldn't have had to go out and risk his life, and things wouldn't have turned out like this.
The food Gu Lingchuan gave us in the morning was not enough for the four of us, and since we hadn't eaten enough for several days, it was devoured by the three of them as soon as we left the house.
Because the nurses had taken care of Gu Lingchuan before, they had been given enough food and did not receive any food themselves.
It was already afternoon, and the four of them were starving. As for leaving the safe zone to face the zombies and search for food, they hadn't dared to do it before, even with Gu Lingxiao leading the way, let alone now.
