Chapter 2 Pure and Innocent Little Flower
Li Nai held onto the upper window frame and looked down into the room.
The bed was askew, the white sheets were dragging on the floor, and the bloodstains on the floor were dried and mottled. A dark shadow passed through the gap under the closed door.
Li Nai crawled through the window and slowly slid down to the ground.
He bent down to untie the sheet around his waist, occasionally glancing at his little host's rosy cheeks as he slept.
The countdown timer in the upper right corner disappeared.
Where's the halo? I clearly remember there were still a few minutes left.
She frowned, sensing something was wrong.
Display details.
[The safety aura range is fixed for 30 minutes; it becomes ineffective upon leaving the designated area.]
Li Nai opened her mouth: Shouldn't the halo follow the person? Then should I go back?
Imagine the zombies blocking the doorway, pacing back and forth across the entire floor.
Shaking his head: Let's see how things are on this floor first. If all else fails, we'll just keep tearing the sheets and go downstairs.
Li Nai rolled up her sleeves and started rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
They didn't find a suitable weapon, but instead found a stainless steel washbasin.
A washbasin is fine, it's stainless steel, it can easily crush zombies.
He raised the basin high, gripped the top handle, and turned it open a crack, peeking out with one eye to look left and right.
The corridor was a mess, quiet and peaceful, with no one or any zombies under the lights.
A strange feeling crept into Li Nai's heart, and she took a step back to close the door.
After doing thorough ideological work, I stretched my limbs and my mind flashed through hundreds of brilliant scenes of protagonists in post-apocalyptic movies dealing with emergencies.
The door opened, and he poked his head out, looking around.
On the left is an evacuation staircase, and on the right are three elevators.
Li Nai decisively chose the left side.
The law of zombie movies: Anyone who gets close to the elevator will inevitably be dragged in and devoured by a swarm of zombies.
If you go down the stairs, you can at least get a sense of what's going on below.
Li Nai tightened the cloth strips securing the child to her body and tiptoed into the eerily quiet corridor.
A stainless steel basin was placed in front of the child. She would peek inside, and whenever she passed the doorway, she would slow down to secretly peek inside to see if there were any zombies gnawing on flesh and bones.
They went from one place to another without incident.
Li Nai breathed a sigh of relief: No zombies, what good luck!
Grasp the doorknob and push the fire door open forcefully.
Snap!
The quiet corridor was filled with the sound of something being smashed on the floor.
She turned around abruptly.
It turned out that what had fallen was a wooden board holding a notebook.
Oh, that was scary. It turned out to be a nurse's logbook—
Turning around, I came face to face with a zombie's face.
"ah!--"
The zombie excitedly squeezed through the crack in the door, its blood-stained hands reaching out towards the small host in front of its chest.
Li Nai took a step back and raised the stainless steel basin to smash the zombie's hand!
"roar!"
Several low growls came from behind the fire door.
She took a look when she had a spare moment.
Several zombie faces scrambled to squeeze through the stuck door crack.
My God!
It seems all the zombies on this floor are hiding at the evacuation stairwell, launching sneak attacks.
The fire door creaked and swayed, the gap in the door widened by about a finger's width.
Li Nai immediately retreated in the direction he had come from.
I didn't notice the wooden clip behind my feet.
With one step, it's like stepping on a watermelon rind, sliding and finally falling to the ground.
At the same time, her kick knocked the zombie over, sending it hurtling straight toward her.
Li Nai used both hands to push up a stainless steel basin, blocking the zombies that were lunging at him.
"Sister, why are you lying on the ground?"
Mimi woke up, propped herself up on her chest with her little hands, and lifted her upper body to look around.
"Host, don't look behind you."
Li Nai stared intently at the blood-red eyes that dangled above the host's fluffy hair.
Mimi blinked her big eyes and touched her flushed face with her little hands.
"Sister, you're sweating so much, you look so tired."
Nonsense! How could I not be tired? My two hands can support the weight of an adult zombie.
The basin gradually sank, my arms ached so much they trembled, and my palms were soaked with sweat.
Quickly, I can't hold on much longer.
Her eyes darted around Mimi's tiny ears.
Clang! Clang!
The fire door was slammed shut, making her heart race. Judging from the noise, more and more zombies were appearing.
She caught a glimpse of the fruit knife that had fallen from her chest out of the corner of her eye.
That's right! A zombie's head is its weak point.
"Mimi, give me the fruit knife."
Mimi held a fruit knife, the tip pointed at her nose, and her eyes involuntarily turned cross-eyed.
etc.
If she lets go of one hand to hold the knife, the zombie will definitely fall on top of Mimi.
"roar."
The zombie opened its mouth wide and lunged downwards tirelessly, its head snapping down to bite, and even when it failed, it kept lunging in the same direction.
His eyes bounced up and down, almost touching her chest several times.
"Mimi, hold the knife upright and put the handle in my mouth."
Mimi looked puzzled, but still obediently did as she was told.
The small hand holding the knife was raised, the tip pointing upwards. The other hand crawled across her chest, and she stretched forward.
He opened his mouth, but failed to get it right several times, his chubby little hands covered in saliva. Finally, he got it in place and was about to bite when...
All that could be heard was the crisp sound of metal striking someone's head.
*Thud!* The fruit knife plunged into the empty eye socket.
She tilted her head, and dark red, foul-smelling blood spurted onto her cheek.
Are you all alright?
A gentle, sweet female voice came from above Li Nai's head.
Her long, silky black hair brushed against her nose, and she caught a faint fragrance.
With his arm free, the zombie that was pressing down on him was flipped over by a mobile IV pole.
Li Nai looked up, raised her eyebrows and eyes to look at the person, her eyes blank for a moment.
A pure, innocent face, the kind you only see on national campus beauty pageants, appeared before me.
Beneath her wispy bangs, a pair of peach blossom eyes revealed worry.
Clang! The IV pole stands upright on the ground.
The girl squatted down, took the fruit knife from the children's hands, and helped them up, completely unconcerned that her white dress was stained with large patches of blood.
Are you injured?
Li Nai straightened up, turned his back to the girl, quickly untied the front and back strips of cloth, and lifted Mimi off his chest. "Ah, you're crushing me."
Mimi suddenly rushed into my arms again, stretching her little hands behind her back.
"elder sister."
Li Nai hugged Mimi tightly, thinking the child was frightened, and patted her back: "Sister is here, don't be afraid."
However, Mimi was still shouting.
"Pretty sister."
Pretty sister? Li Nai turned her head to the side. Mimi stared at the girl who saved them with bright eyes, her little hands asking for a hug.
Host! The Forget-Blind System, having you is truly my blessing.
At that moment, a prompt flashed through my mind.
[Killed a zombie, gain 50 experience points.]
Li Nai suppressed her indignation and handed Mimi to the girl. "Here, here, here, let your pretty older sister hold you."
The girl smiled and took the little girl.
The little girl opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but the girl gently pinched her mouth shut with her hand and whispered in her ear, "Shh, don't say anything yet, let's go quickly."
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes glanced at the deformed crack in the door, where several zombies pushed and shoved their way into the upper body.
Li Nai was studying how to obtain 50 experience points when the girl grabbed her wrist.
"We need to get out of here quickly."
The girl held the doll, which weighed 19 kilograms, in one hand and grabbed her with the other hand as they ran towards the elevator.
"We're going to take the elevator?!" Li Nai panicked, but it was too late to stop her.
Ding! The elevator doors opened, and the elevator was empty.
Li Nai breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl went in first, and seeing her hesitation, he said, "Come in quickly." He pulled her wrist and led her into the elevator.
The hand slipped quietly from her wrist and gently rested on Li Nai's hand.
Li Nai merely glared, focusing all her attention on the elevator numbers descending, completely oblivious to her own hand. At that moment, her mind was filled with the image of zombies swarming in after the doors opened.
bite!
The elevator stopped after going down just one floor.
Li Nai gripped the girl's hand tightly and exchanged a knowing glance with her.
It's very obvious that the girl didn't press the button for this floor at all.
And who is that outside?
"Su Momo?!"
The elevator doors opened, and two boys, one tall and one short, stood outside. One of them, a dark-skinned, sunny boy, had his eyes light up as soon as he saw them.
Li Nai turned around following the boy's gaze.
It wasn't them, it was the girls behind me whose eyes lit up.
"It's Momo! What are you doing here?!"
The short boy standing behind them was fair-skinned and handsome, dressed in bright clothes and wearing all designer accessories; he was a rich young master.
The girl glanced at the two men, ignoring the rich young man, smiled at the dark-skinned, sunny boy, and walked out.
Li Nai squeezed next to her, leaned out half her body first, and cautiously looked at the corridor outside while clinging to the door frame.
It was spotless, without a single zombie.
"Hey lady, don't push." The rich young master, already annoyed at being ignored by his crush, just needed someone to vent his anger on.
Li Nai glanced at him and continued to look down the corridor.
The rich young master's phoenix eyes widened in surprise.
"Ma Ziqi, forget it."
The dark-skinned, sunny boy kindly patted his shoulder.
Ma Ziqi suddenly glanced sideways at the hand on his shoulder.
The hand recoiled awkwardly, as if a caterpillar had crawled over it.
Ma Ziqi dusted off the dust that wasn't on his shoulders.
"Tian Chao, what are you doing here?"
Su Momo spoke up to divert attention from the two's discord.
"We came specifically to rescue you, but we went to the wrong floor and unexpectedly ran into you. And who is this child?"
"Oh, it belongs to this lady. Let me hold it for a while."
"Momo, where are you hurt?"
Ma Ziqi saw a large bloodstain on the white dress behind him.
Su Momo glanced behind her, turned around and opened her mouth slightly, but was interrupted by Li Nai.
"How did you two get up here? The elevator? Where did the zombies go on this floor? What's the situation downstairs? Is it easy to escape?"
Ma Ziqi looked impatient: "Please don't interrupt other people's conversations, okay!"
Li Nai blinked, surprised that such a handsome and refined boy had such a volatile temper.
Tian Chao: "We came up in Ziqi's private elevator, so we don't know the situation on this floor. As for the situation down below..."
He frowned, his thick, dark eyebrows furrowing.
Ma Ziqi said impatiently again, "Momo has been rescued, let's go down quickly."
After saying that, his ugly expression changed, and he smiled, telling Su Momo to follow behind him. "Momo, I'll take you to the private elevator."
Su Momo's expression was indifferent as she turned to Li Nai and invited, "Sister, come with us."
Li Nai awkwardly accepted Mimi and followed the three college students to the VIP ward on the other side of the inpatient department.
From their brief conversation, Li Nai learned that they were classmates at the same school. Su Momo, a sophomore who had just transferred a few months prior and was currently the school's most beautiful girl, Tian Chao, a popular athlete, and Ma Ziqi, the son of a school board member—the two of them had been friends for many years. Observing the atmosphere between the three, she couldn't help but think of a melodramatic love triangle movie.
Several people swiped Ma Ziqi's VIP card to enter the unique high-end ward building.
Li Nai was momentarily stunned, thinking she had entered a five-star hotel.
"Sister, the elevator is just ahead." Su Momo put her hand on her back, and seeing a hint of doubt on her face, she smiled and explained, "Ziqi has brought me here a few times."
Li Nai nodded and continued running.
There is a partition door ahead.
Tian Chao, who was running at the front leading the way, stopped in front of the door but did not push it open to go in.
Through the semi-transparent glass, several zombies dressed in nurse uniforms and silk hospital gowns could be seen swaying inside.
"How could they suddenly appear? They weren't here when we came." Ma Ziqi stared blankly at the glass window.
“They came out of the ward,” Tian Chao said definitively.
Li Nai pushed past two big boys, pressed her face against the glass, and counted: there were 6 zombies inside.
6 times 50 equals 300 experience points. Adding the 50 you just gained, that's 350. Unlocking level 2 requires 2000 experience points. Unlocking level 3 requires 3000...
"I'm worried there might still be patients in the ward who haven't come out yet," Tian Chao said gravely.
Li Nai's eyes darted around slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Ma Ziqi on her right was sizing them up, with his gaze lingering mostly on Mimi.
What kind of look is that! You're holding back a fart.
Li Nai turned the little host's head to the left with his hand protecting the back of the little host's head, and his sharp eyes, as if guarding against a thief, made Ma Ziqi snort coldly.
"Everyone, look for tools for self-defense."
Tian Chao walked straight to the fire extinguisher box hanging on the wall, where there was an axe.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the cabinet door was locked, so he turned around and picked up two fire extinguishers.
After handing a bottle to Ma Ziqi, he passionately instructed them: "We men will lead the way, and you girls will follow behind. Don't fall behind."
Su Momo looked relieved, as if she had found her pillar of support.
"Tian Chao, you guys need to be careful."
Ma Ziqi's hands, gripping the bottom of the fire extinguisher, turned white from his grip. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and forced a smile: "Momo, don't worry. I'll protect you."
—2000 divided by 50 means you need to kill 40 zombies. Subtract one, that's 39. Subtract the 6 that were already there, and you still need to kill 33 more…
Li Nai mentally calculated with her fingers, then glanced around and noticed the subtle atmosphere among the melodramatic trio.
Mimi in my arms suddenly started to wriggle.
Li Nai asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, host?"
Mimi whispered, "I need to poop."
Li Nai glanced at Tian Chao and Ma Ziqi, who were discussing how to cooperate.
"Let's poop after we go out with our older brothers and sisters, okay?"
Mimi covered her round belly with both hands, didn't say a word, looked at her with her big eyes full of grievance, and her little body trembled, obviously she had been holding it in for a long time.
"Mimi, I'll try my best to hold it in."
Li Nai breaks the defense.
"Hey, you two handsome young men, excuse me."
Li Nai shamelessly leaned forward.
The two boys turned to look at her.
"My little one needs to poop, can we wait a bit?"
Tian Chao was taken aback, frowning as he looked at Mimi's wrinkled little face. Before he could say anything, he heard Ma Ziqi's voice, which was barely containing his anger.
"What a burden! Why did it have to come now of all times? If it doesn't go down soon, it'll be dark."
"I know it's wrong to cause trouble at this time, but the child just can't hold it in. It'll only be a little while, he'll be done soon."
Li Nai smiled apologetically, while Mimi in her arms buried her head like an ostrich, too ashamed to face anyone.
One laughed with his head bowed, the other looked pitiful.
The two boys were too embarrassed to say anything more.
Su Momo stepped in to smooth things over: "Wait a while, you don't want the child to cry halfway through the journey, do you?"
Seeing that no one objected anymore, Li Nai quickly thanked them twice, picked up the host, and ran to the tree pot to relieve himself.
"one two three!"
The two boys pushed open the partition door together, and the tall and strong Tian Chao raised a fire extinguisher to sneak up on the back of the zombie's head.
Ma Ziqi chimed in from the side, his eyes darting around to observe the movements of the other zombies.
Two young men worked together, sweating profusely.
Li Nai followed behind Su Momo and picked up a pair of scissors from the ground.
"Host, hold onto these scissors."
Mimi's little hand curiously held a pair of scissor-shaped ears.
Li Nai kept a close eye on the gap in the boy's beating of the zombie, then crouched down, grabbed the small hand holding the scissors with her large hand, and forcefully plunged them into the zombie's smashed skull.
Kill one zombie and gain 50 experience points.
Sure enough, you can also gain experience by finishing off enemies.
Li Nai raised her gleaming eyes and looked at the other zombies with ill intent.
Then look at Tian Chao and Ma Ziqi; they are working together to attack the second zombie.
Li Nai followed closely behind, and at the last moment used scissors to stab the zombie's broken head, ending its life.
Seeing Li Nai's earnest help, Tian Chao couldn't help but feel a little guilty about his earlier hesitation.
However, Ma Ziqi did not express his gratitude. Instead, he resented that the other party only did the odd jobs and left the two of them to bear all the hard work and danger.
Li Nai sensed Ma Ziqi's disgust and felt guilty. Before each follow-up attack, he would remind him or block the zombie's hand.
At the back of the line, Su Momo quietly watched Li Nai's expression and actions, a cryptic smile playing on her lips.
With the two boys contributing their strength and Li Nai using scissors, it wasn't long before all six zombies slowly swaying down the corridor, plus the four zombies that emerged from the ward, collapsed.
Li Nai acted swiftly and decisively, and the occasional glint of excitement in her eyes made her seem like a pervert revealing her true nature.
"Sister, I can't believe it."
Tian Chao, panting heavily, gave her a thumbs up.
"Sister, you're amazing! You're not afraid of these ugly monsters at all." Su Momo's eyes sparkled with admiration.
Li Nai grinned like a horse, but then felt guilty again. She lowered her head and silently calculated the experience points she had gained.
Ma Ziqi snorted, adjusted his breathing, then took out his VIP card from his pocket and headed for the private elevator.
As soon as the door opened, Ma Ziqi screamed and ran towards his teammates without any regard for his image.
They looked up curiously, their expressions changing in different ways.
Ma Chao was just as terrified as Ma Ziqi. Su Momo raised an eyebrow, while Li Nai's eyes shone like a golden treasure.
[Swelling Giant Zombie, Danger 2 Stars, Fast Charge Speed, Blood Slightly Corrosive and Contains Virus, Killing it grants 800 Experience Points and 3 Credits.]
"Look behind you!"
The group turned around in unison.
A dozen or so zombies crowded together and pushed open the partition door.
Ma Ziqi turned around and cursed Li Nai and Mimi: "This is all your fault for taking a dump!"
