Fu Tianhe fell asleep.

Chen Ci sat quietly in the accompanying chair for more than ten minutes. Seeing that Alpha was fast asleep, he stood up gently and left the isolation ward.

He briefly explained Fu Tianhe's condition to the doctor, and the doctor was relieved to hear that the patient was in good mental condition.

Even if they had the surgery, they were not sure what the condition of such a severely infected person would be like after the surgery, after all, his infection was so serious.

The Ashes occupied his eye sockets, pressing on the brain within. It was a miracle that he was still conscious and able to speak.

A nurse arranged a special ward for Chen Ci so that he could rest.

Chen Ci opened the cupboard, which contained clean clothes sent from the White Pagoda. They were the softest and most scent-free clothes Chen Ci had been most familiar with in the past decade.

He took his clothes to the bathroom, took off the hospital gown he had temporarily put on after disinfection, turned on the shower, and the warm water poured down in an instant, soaking his shoulders and hair.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Ci came out of the bathroom, his body warm. His hair had been blown dry and he felt refreshed. Sitting on the bed, he felt the fatigue coming over him.

This is fatigue that spreads from the heart to the whole body. Maybe the body is not that tired, but the spirit and heart have no strength to muster.

Chen Ci lay down on the bed. The thick curtains and anti-disturbance system blocked out the light from outside. The good sound insulation made the hurried footsteps of the nurses in the corridor so faint that they could be ignored.

He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep almost instantly.

Chen Ci slept so deeply that he didn't even know where he was when he woke up. It took him a few seconds to realize that they had returned to the top floor of Cinnabar.

Hearing the sound of steady breathing beside him, Chen Ci turned his head and found Chen Nian lying on another bed to his left. He had also changed out of his hospital gown and was sleeping soundly.

When did Chen Nian come here? Chen Ci didn't know.

Chen Ci raised his hand to unlock the terminal. The light from the screen made him squint. No message came, which meant that Fu Tianhe was in stable condition.

He breathed a sigh of relief silently, lowered his hands, and sank his arms into the soft blankets, while darkness returned to his surroundings.

When the news that Fu Tianhe had escaped came, Chen Ci and Chen Nian were sitting by the bed, discussing the door.

Da Congming and An An have been picked up. An An is temporarily resting with Uncle Jiang in the villa in Shafulai.

The smart cat seemed to know that something had happened to its owner and kept making noises, so Shaflay had someone take him to the hospital.

The beagle lay at Chen Ci's feet and finally calmed down. Chen Ci stroked the dog's head from time to time and listened carefully to Chen's detailed description of all his feelings at that time.

Chen Nian has always been eloquent, and often his words are so sharp that they make people hate him, but at this moment he realized how poor his language is.

No amount of description could make Chen Ci understand exactly what he felt at that moment. In the end, Chen Nian even started to use gestures, waving his hands in the air, trying to explain what it meant to be "filled with an explosion of warmth all over the body."

"It's bad, Your Highnesses! The patient named Fu Tianhe in the isolation ward has escaped!"

The nurse pushed the door open abruptly, and the door slid a quarter of a circle before hitting the wall with a loud bang.

"What?!"

Chen Ci suddenly raised his head, his cold eyes like a knife, as if he was about to pierce through the young nurse who came to report the news.

"What, Fu Tianhe ran away?" Chen Nian's hand stopped in the air, his face full of surprise, and he even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, the patient in the isolation ward ran away!" The young nurse was sweating and was so anxious that she almost jumped up.

Those are patients in the isolation ward. Who knows if it will cause a wider range of infection if it gets out of control?

Chen Nian stood up and said, "No, you are all useless. How could you let a man who just had surgery get away?"

The young nurse almost cried: "The patient injured several of our medical staff and ran away. We didn't want to see this happen!"

"I'm sorry, I'm not blaming you," Chen Nian said hurriedly, "I was just too anxious. Don't take what I just said to heart. Do you know where Fu Tianhe went?"

Without waiting for a reply, Chen Ci rushed out of the room past the nurse.

Only then did Chen Nian hear the answer.

"I don't know, but the patient is definitely not in the hospital anymore!"

This is a major event that is enough to make everyone tremble with fear.

An Ashes infected patient escaped from the hospital.

The young nurse was at a loss, obviously just reporting the news. Chen Nian said no more and hurried to chase Chen Ci who had already run away.

Chen Ci opened the door of the stairwell and rushed straight to the floor where Fu Tianhe's ward was.

The whole floor was in chaos. The nurse was huddled behind the clinic counter, trembling. Two doctors were holding their heads as they received diagnoses from their colleagues.

There were sporadic bloodstains on the walls and floor of the corridor, which were cautiously surrounded by objects to prevent accidental touching. They were most likely left by Fu Tianhe.

As for the doors and windows of the isolation ward, they have been cracked so hard that they cannot be cracked any further. They are partitions made of special glass that allow patients' family members and medical staff to visit from outside to see what is happening inside, and even bullets cannot penetrate them.

But he was beaten to pieces by Fu Tianhe.

The nurse who witnessed the incident described the scene to others with an expression of disbelief:

"If I'm not mistaken, he broke the glass with his bare hands. How is that possible? Is this the kind of strength a human can possess?"

Da Congming smelled the scent of Fu Tianhe in the corridor and immediately started barking wildly. Chen Ci patted Da Congming's head and whispered, "Let's go find Fu Tianhe!"

Chen Ci dragged Da Congming towards the elevator room, and the door just happened to open in front of them, revealing the figure of Chen Nian who was catching up with them.

Chen Nian: “Huh?”

Chen Ci: "I'm going to find Fu Tianhe."

"Me too!"

Chen Nian immediately reached out and pressed the button on the first floor. Half a minute later, the two brothers and a dog rushed out of the hospital gate.

No one knew why Fu Tianhe suddenly jumped up and escaped from the ward.

But obviously, that couldn't have been his decision.

Fu Tianhe's condition has worsened to the point where Ashes dust is also found in his blood. Compared with before, he is truly contagious and will definitely not go out without protection.

What was taking control of him?

While running frantically, Chen Nian took the time to send a brief message to Shafulai.

Someone would definitely inform him about Fu Tianhe's escape, but Chen Niande told Shafulai that he and Chen Ci had already gone to chase him.

Shafley hasn't come back yet. At this time he should be working, maybe in a meeting.

Fu Tianhe must have still had some sense in him, as he did not run to the crowded downtown area. Da Congming smelled his scent, ran ahead, and led the two brothers to a less-traveled place.

Chen Nian had almost explored the top of Cinnabar these days. After running through several blocks, he found that Fu Tianhe was taking a detour.

At first he thought Fu Tianhe was going to the edge of the top layer of Cinnabar, and his heart tightened, and he even wondered if he would just jump over the fence and jump down.

Later, they followed Da Congming and went around a big bend that ran through two blocks, only to suddenly realize that Fu Tianhe wanted to go to the elevator leading to the ecological tank from the direction with the least people.

In addition to the central elevator with the largest traffic volume, Beacon also has many smaller elevators that can travel between individual levels.

Sure enough, Da Congming led the two brothers all the way there.

Chen Ci and Chen Nian passed the terminal's authority identification and entered the elevator.

Previously, when Yueliangyu went to the top floor from Sanshui Underground City, Shafulai gave Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe a pass with high enough authority. Now the pass is still on Fu Tianhe's terminal, allowing him to travel freely throughout Cinnabar.

At this time, Shafla finally replied. He even expressed his extreme shock and immediately began to help the two brothers track down the suspect.

The chip on Chen Ci's shoulder can help Shafulai locate their traces, and the cameras hidden in various places in Cinnabar are like a skynet that firmly traps Fu Tianhe.

The elevator stopped at the ecological tank. Dacongming leaned out and sniffed carefully. The many different smells in the dog's nose were like a tangled thread.

But those lines all have completely different colors. There is no need to sort them out. Just find the one with exactly the same color and follow it as it extends into the distance.

They crossed the ecological tank, Chen Ci swept up two bicycles with skillful movements, and the two brothers rode their bicycles to chase after Da Congming.

The amazing physical strength of the beagle is fully demonstrated at this time. When it is locked in a building with a limited area, it is a big-eared stinky donkey that is bored to the point of destroying the house and driving its owner crazy. But when it is able to run around and fulfill its obligations as a bloodhound, it becomes the most responsible dog.

They passed by an extremely luxurious mansion. If Chen Nian guessed correctly, this was where Donald once lived.

After he killed Sanshui, the mansion was completely sealed off and the enforcement team found countless valuables and exotic creatures from it.

The famous and once-powerful collector just disappeared from the world. His collections were either confiscated or sold at auction. He was getting closer to his true death every day.

In the garden that was as lush and green as a tropical rain forest, there were still branches and leaves sticking out. Chen Nian glanced sideways and could hardly imagine his brother's heroic figure when he and Fu Tianhe were robbing.

Shafulai's voice was occasionally heard through the earphones in his left ear. Sitting in the hospital ward, Shafulai tracked and guessed the direction of Fu Tianhe's escape based on the surveillance video.

Fu Tianhe had no mental strength and was unable to cover up anything. Moreover, he was too conspicuous running outside in a hospital gown.

"His hand was slightly injured," Shafley said calmly, "You didn't see any blood along the way, did you?"

Chen Nian panted and pleaded, "No."

"Then Fu Tianhe should still have a certain level of awareness. He knows that if his blood flows out, it will cause big trouble."

Shafley continued, "Now I have tracked him to the information storage area. He is running towards the information processing area below at a very fast speed. I have already contacted the local execution team—"

"No, don't." Chen Ci said suddenly.

"Let him run. I want to see where he wants to go."
