Holy Light Hospital.
The time when the patrolling superhumans change shifts is the time of day when vigilance is at its lowest.
Si Beiting and Chu Xinxin secretly climbed to the roof from the least noticeable southwest corner.
There was a pool on the roof. As soon as Chu Xinxin stood up, she heard people chatting on the other side of the pool.
"Sigh, what are we even doing here? We've been keeping watch every day, but we haven't seen anything unusual."
“Don’t tell me…” another person lowered their voice, “I heard from Daqiang on the first floor that there are four superhumans who might turn into zombies locked up in the basement.”
"Hey, what do you think this is? A zombie? We've killed countless zombies, what are we afraid of just four..."
"I actually think some of the things mentioned above are making a mountain out of a molehill. Oh well, I'll finish this cigarette and go back to sleep."
"Dude, where did you get this stuff? One puff and you're in heaven."
"The black market, I'll take you there sometime."
The two seemed to be exhaling smoke.
Si Beiting took out a slingshot from his pocket, picked up a stone from the ground, and shot it into the distance.
When a pebble hits a stainless steel water tower, it makes a "ding!" sound.
"who!"
The two rushed to the water tower but found nothing; the pebble turned to powder the moment it hit the water tower.
"Sound the alarm immediately!"
"good."
The two turned around and saw two birds pecking at the railing at their feet, making the same sound as before.
"Oh, it's just a bird... Should we still sound the alarm?"
"Bullshit, aren't you just blatantly telling everyone we're slacking off?"
"oh."
......
Chu Xinxin and Si Beiting have already entered the hospital.
At that time, everyone was changing shifts, and there were not many people in the hallway.
Si Beiting avoided the surveillance cameras and led Chu Xinxin into an office.
"At four o'clock in the afternoon, all the doctors at Holy Light Hospital will go to the basement to see the four superhumans. You will sneak in as a nurse and follow a doctor named Mary. Half an hour later, return to this office and wait for me."
Si Beiting put a sign that read "intern nurse" on Chu Xinxin's head and then knelt down to change her into a pair of nurse shoes.
"Be careful. If you need me, stomp twice. There are sensors on the soles of your shoes, and I'll be right there..."
Si Beiting was very serious about everything he did. Chu Xinxin looked down at the whorl of hair on his head and really wanted to poke it.
Where are you going?
“I’ll go find their medical records for you.” Si Beiting moved. “Mary’s here, go with her first.”
"Okay." Just before Chu Xinxin opened the door to leave, she turned back to look at Si Beiting again: "You should be careful too."
"good."
......
Mary was an elderly woman.
The mask and glasses could no longer hide her age, but she was still very kind, and she called Chu Xinxin "child".
The two of them went to the lobby on the first floor and met up with all the doctors and nurses. Under the protection of the superhumans... or rather, under their guard, they took the elevator down into the underground.
After passing through numerous checkpoints, we finally arrived outside the observation room.
"Everyone, place your hand on the screen, and only those whose fingerprints are verified can enter."
Mary's heart sank; this hadn't happened yesterday.
Chu Xinxin moved closer to her and gripped her hand tightly. Mary noticed the unusual movement on her fingers and gripped her hand back more firmly.
Chu Xinxin had applied a coating that could replicate fingerprints to her hands.
It's so thin that you can't even notice it unless you look closely.
Sister, you don't need to go to so much trouble, I'll help you.
Chu Xinxin completely ignored him.
The system seemed a bit anxious: "There's still a risk in what you're doing."
"It's none of your business."
Chu Xinxin successfully passed through the fingerprint scanner and entered the observation room.
She finally saw the four superhumans who had been hidden.
These four superhumans have clearly become zombified; they are manic and roaring, and even when restrained by steel pipes, they seem ready to lose control at any moment.
They were separated from the medical staff by thick bulletproof glass, but Chu Xinxin couldn't get enough of looking at them and unconsciously took a step forward.
The guards watching over them noticed her movement immediately and grabbed their weapons.
Mary pretended to stumble and fell into her arms, whispering, "Child, don't let them notice anything amiss."
Chu Xinxin immediately realized what was happening. She bent down slightly to steady Mary, squeezed Mary's hand tightly, and told her that she understood.
The administrator glanced at them twice and then went back.
"Who's going in to administer the medication and have their blood drawn today?" the manager asked sternly.
The person who went in yesterday, by sheer coincidence, encountered a riot by a superhuman. The steel pipe was broken, and the person is now lying in the morgue. Who would dare to go in now?
The medical staff seemed to fall silent; no one spoke.
"If you don't speak, I'll throw you all in!" The manager had a very fiery temper.
Under the oppressive aura, someone whispered, "Well... it seems like it's Mary's turn."
“Mary just went in a couple of days ago.”
"It's either her or you!"
The person who had spoken up for Mary immediately shut his mouth.
Who is Mary?
The administrator doesn't care who has been inside and who hasn't; as long as the tasks assigned by above are completed, that's all that matters.
"It's me."
Mary stepped out of the crowd.
The administrator frowned as he looked at Mary, who could barely stand.
He glanced at the crowd and pointed at Chu Xinxin: "You're the one. The rest of you stay outside to record data and observe!"
Mary wanted to say something more, but Chu Xinxin had already walked ahead.
The door to the observation room opened, and a stench of rotting zombies wafted out.
Everyone took a few steps back.
Chu Xinxin took the tray, on which were four small bottles of a new type of barrier agent. Judging from the bottles, they were the same ones from her laboratory.
The administrator urged them to hurry up again.
There was no time for her to think it over, so Chu Xinxin had no choice but to go inside with Mary first.
The first zombie-like superhuman, Chu Xinxin glanced at the data display screen on his bedside table; the infection area was 73%.
After being injected with the blocking agent and sleeping pills, he calmed down.
Mary then began drawing his blood, and Chu Xinxin, using her body as cover, also received half a tube of his blood.
Secondly, the infected area is 90%.
He was the one who bit the doctor to death yesterday, and today, smelling the fresh blood and flesh again, he roared like a wild beast that had been starving for a long time.
His limbs were slender, but his belly was swollen, as if he were pregnant.
The steel pipes binding him could no longer withstand his strength; they bent and cracked, with the cracks even piercing his flesh. His entire body was covered in blood, and some parts had begun to rot.
Half of the stench just now came from him.
The blockers and sleeping pills had no effect on him. Mary wanted to draw his blood, but Chu Xinxin was too weak to hold him down.
"Never mind him for now, give the other two injections!"
The third and fourth infections covered a similar area as the second, but were quieter.
When it came time to draw blood from the fourth person, Chu Xinxin used the same trick again, taking advantage of her body to draw half a tube of blood from him.
Just as she turned around, her hand was suddenly grabbed.
It felt cold and rough to the touch.
Chu Xinxin was startled, and the next second, a piece of paper was stuffed into her hand.
She forced herself to remain calm, clutched the note tightly, and tidied the tray before turning around.
The fourth superhuman had his eyes closed, but his hand was secretly writing something on the bed sheet.
Chu Xinxin read it twice before she understood; it was "SoS"—
He was saying, "Save him."
