Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao didn't care and walked to the center of the hall. A doctor in a white coat hurried over.
"Hello, I am Zhang Zhicheng, the vice president of the Eighth Hospital. Thank you for coming here." Zhang Zhicheng spoke quickly and extended his hand to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao shook it and asked, "What's the situation now?"
Zhang Zhicheng extended his hand to Xie Xuan again. After they shook hands, Zhang Zhicheng said solemnly, "Last month, an infection occurred in the infectious disease ward of our hospital. Due to a medical staff error, one of the patients was infected, which affected two adjacent wards. As a result, the entire infectious disease ward had to be disinfected again."
"Is this related to today's infection incident?" Xiao Yao asked.
"It's related," Zhang Zhicheng said. "Because the original infection ward needed to be thoroughly disinfected and renovated, all the infected patients who were admitted at the time were transferred to the general wards of the inpatient department. Initially, we set aside an entire floor as a safe zone between the general patients and the infected patients. However, a serious infection broke out nearby yesterday, and all the infected patients were admitted to our hospital. We don't have enough wards, so we can only temporarily place the patients in the safe zone..."
"You're not going to tell me that the parasite this time is in the safe zone, are you?"
Zhang Zhicheng nodded with difficulty. "The infection occurred on the 16th floor of the inpatient department, affecting the wards on the upper and lower floors."
Xiao Yao said coldly: "I know."
Zhang Zhicheng wiped his sweaty forehead. "Go straight ahead from here to the inpatient department, and then walk out the back door of the outpatient department. It's directly opposite. The elevator is out of service. The emergency staircase is on the right after entering the door."
Xiao Yao nodded, turned to Xie Xuan and said, "Let's go."
In the wasteland era, the speed of crowd evacuation can be said to be several times more efficient than the era when Xie Xuan lived before. After all, Xie Xuan lived in a peaceful era, and here, if the evacuation was slow, people would really die.
The people Xiao Yao and Xie Xuan saw when they came in just now were the last batch of patients evacuated from the outpatient clinic. Although the infection incident was unlikely to spread to the outpatient clinic, the hospital, which had experienced the second infection incident in a month, still chose to evacuate all patients cautiously just in case.
Xiao Yao and Xie Xuan walked all the way to the entrance of the inpatient department without meeting another person. However, unlike the outpatient department, many people in the inpatient department could not move freely, and some even needed ventilators. In addition, the elevator was not working, so those who could still move followed the medical staff up the stairs to leave, and those who could not move could only lie in bed and leave it to fate.
Xiao Yao and Xie Xuan walked up the stairs and met many patients who were supported by medical staff. Several patients' family members rushed up to them crying and asked them to deal with the infection incident properly, as their relatives were still trapped in the ward and could not be evacuated.
Xiao Yao agreed to all the requests and climbed up without any delay.
Xie Xuan climbed more than ten floors in one breath wearing a protective suit weighing more than ten pounds. She was almost out of breath. Fortunately, she didn't have to take any action for a while.
After climbing to the fifteenth floor, Xiao Yao suddenly stopped.
The door to the safety passage on the fifteenth floor was open, and directly opposite it was the floor sign on the wall.
Fifteenth floor, burn department.
Xie Xuan followed Xiao Yao's gaze, but before she could figure out the thought that flashed through her mind, Xiao Yao had already turned around and continued walking up.
On the sixteenth floor, the sign for the Department of Oncology on the floor sign has not been removed yet.
The corridor had not yet been completely covered by the highly saturated pink mycelium, and some of the overhead lights were functioning normally. Xiao Yao and Xie Xuan walked out of the safe passage, and were greeted by a faint but sweet fragrance, like the scent of some dessert made with inferior flavorings.
Just like the last time Xie Xuan saw the glowing mycelium covering the entire light rail station hall, the more active the mycelium outside the area is, the more people inside the area will be implicated.
Xiao Yao walked in front and stepped directly onto the mycelium that was spread across the corridor like a carpet.
Xie Xuan followed quietly behind. She had already made up her mind to slack off this time.
The mycelium on the ground was getting thicker and thicker. All the ward doors were closed, and pink mycelium was also clinging to the doors.
Xiao Yao started to open the door at the thickest part of the mycelium. When the door, which was firmly fixed by the mycelium, was pushed open with force, the mycelium broke and made a clear sound in the quiet corridor.
The ward was also filled with pink mycelium, but the people on the beds all disappeared. The machine, which was also covered with mycelium, lost its detection object, but it itself was also infected and could not function normally.
Xiao Yao opened two rooms but found nothing. When they opened the third room, they saw something different on the bed in the ward.
The transparent plastic curtain surrounding the bed, used to isolate patients, was half-open. In the center of the bed, which was covered with the same pink mycelium, was a highly saturated pink teddy bear. It was not big and looked a bit poorly made, with one eyeball embedded in its face at a different height.
And now the little bear was sitting on the hospital bed, his eyes facing them, as if silently waiting for their arrival.
Xiao Yao took a deep breath before walking into the ward and picking up the pink teddy bear on the bed.

"Hello everyone, I'm Bai Ze. I'll be assisting Team 7 as the communicator for this mission."
"The current spore concentration detected is 40%. The parasite is beginning to lose control."
Xie Xuan opened her eyes, and in front of her was still a pink color that was so saturated that it was a bit dazzling, but the surrounding environment was no longer a ward, but a garden, and in front of them was an extravagant castle that only appeared in fairy tales.
Xie Xuan suspected that the victim this time might be a little girl like the first one she encountered.
Xiao Yao obviously thought the same as she did. He was still holding the pink bear that was brought into the realm. When he saw the castle in front of him, he turned around and handed the bear to Xie Xuan.
"Keep it for me."
Xie Xuan took it with both hands. Perhaps because the pink in the field was too bright, a ray of pink light seemed to flash in the eyes of the little bear's face.
