Chapter 94: Researching Zombies
Jiang Xianchuan woke up slowly, and suddenly noticed something strange at the head of the bed while still half asleep. He looked closely and found that it was a piece of paper quietly stuck there.
He reached out curiously and took the note, only to see a line of words written on it in a flamboyant style: Wife, Bai Su asked me out today for something, so I’m going to find him first. Breakfast is on the dining table, remember to heat it up in the microwave before eating. I love you, my husband.
After reading the note, Jiang Xianchuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart, as if the sunshine of spring had shone on his heart. He smiled and turned to look at the dining table, and sure enough, he saw a carefully prepared breakfast on the table. The exquisite presentation and the rich food all showed Li Lingyu's love and consideration for him.
Jiang Xianchuan slowly stood up and walked to the dining table and sat down. He gently stroked the still warm plate on the table, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly, outlining a beautiful arc. Then, he put the breakfast in the microwave oven to heat it up according to the instructions on the note. As the microwave oven hummed, waves of aroma came to his nose, which aroused his appetite.
Jiang Xianchuan began to slowly enjoy this loving delicacy, savoring every bite, feeling the deep affection contained in it. After a satisfying meal, Jiang Xianchuan wiped his mouth with satisfaction, got up and went to the balcony. He lazily leaned on the railing, looking at the picturesque scenery outside the window, feeling particularly happy.
At this moment, a crisp knock on the door broke the silence. Jiang Xianchuan came to his senses and turned to the door. When he opened the door, a familiar figure came into view. It was Qi Xiaoyao.
"What's wrong, Xiao Yao?" Jiang Xianchuan asked softly.
Qi Xiaoyao did not answer immediately, but handed her a list first, and then said: "These are the names of people who tried to escape from the camp. What do you think we should do?"
Jiang Xianchuan took the list and looked through it carefully. After a moment, he raised his head and said firmly, "Well... let them go, but you have to hurt them before letting them go. As for whether they can survive, it all depends on their luck."
Qi Xiaoyao nodded to show that he understood, and then he was ready to turn around and leave. However, just as he took a step forward, Jiang Xianchuan called out to him, "Wait, why isn't Bai Su coming over?"
Hearing this question, Qi Xiaoyao shook his head and answered helplessly: "I don't know, I haven't seen him." After that, he left, leaving Jiang Xianchuan standing there, looking at his receding back thoughtfully.
"Strange..." Thinking of the note left by Li Lingyu, Jiang Xianchuan felt a little strange in his heart, so he walked out of the room and looked for the two people in the hospital, but he found nothing after searching for a while.
Jiang Xianchuan dragged his slightly tired body and slowly walked towards the ward. He thought to himself that he should go back to the bed and have a good rest, and then make plans after Li Lingyu and Bai Su came back.
When he lay on the soft hospital bed, he gently closed his eyes and tried to let himself fall asleep. Although his body was extremely tired, the thoughts in his mind were like surging waves, rising and falling one after another, and he could not calm down. The feeling of uneasiness was like an invisible hand, tightly grasping his heart, and it was still pulling hard, making this uneasiness even stronger.
At this moment, a very subtle noise came from outside the door into Jiang Xianchuan's ears. Although the sound was not loud, it was particularly clear in the quiet environment. Jiang Xianchuan, who was still a little confused, became alert instantly. He turned over and sat up from the bed, then walked to the door quietly. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and grasped the door handle, and suddenly opened the door.
The moment the door opened, he looked down and saw a piece of paper lying quietly on the ground. Jiang Xianchuan quickly bent down and picked up the paper. He looked closely and saw that the familiar handwriting on it was written by Li Lingyu: "Wife, we found some important clues. We can't go back for the time being. Remember to miss me."
Jiang Xianchuan couldn't help but frown when he saw the contents of the note. A strange feeling came over him. He felt that this matter was not that simple. After a brief thought, Jiang Xianchuan finally made up his mind to find Li Lingyu and Bai Su and get to the bottom of the matter.
So, he walked out of the ward at a fast pace, relying on his keen intuition to walk towards the basement of the hospital. Along the way, he remained highly alert and listened carefully to even the slightest movement around him.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally arrived at a remote room deep in the basement. Through the crack in the door, he vaguely saw two figures in the room. Were they Li Lingyu and Bai Su?
They were gathered together, looking down at an object or thing, and everyone looked very serious, as if they were facing a life-or-death challenge. At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan approached slowly with steady steps. He asked curiously, "What happened? You all look like you are facing a powerful enemy."
After hearing the voice, Li Lingyu raised his head suddenly. When he saw that the person coming was Jiang Xianchuan, a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he blurted out: "Wife, why are you here?"
Jiang Xianchuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can't I come over and take a look?"
Li Lingyu quickly shook his head and explained, "No, it's just..." Before he could finish his words, Bai Su interrupted him, "Captain, we have tried many methods, but we still can't completely eliminate this zombie."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan walked towards the tied zombie without hesitation.
When I got closer and took a closer look, I saw that the zombie's body was badly mutilated, with hideous wounds all over its body. Some of those wounds were still oozing black and red pus, and emitting an unbearable stench.
However, what is even more bizarre is that although the zombie is in such a miserable state, there is a sinister smile on its face, which seems to be mercilessly mocking people's powerlessness.
Jiang Xianchuan turned to look at Li Lingyu and Bai Su and asked, "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
Facing Jiang Xianchuan's question, Li Lingyu and Bai Su looked at each other and both fell into silence. No one knew how to answer this question.
Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan waved his hands helplessly, indicating that he would not pursue the matter any further. Then, he once again turned his gaze to the zombie with a weird smile and began to observe it carefully.
