Chapter 57: Follow along

Views:

Under the blue night sky, the boy in school uniform stood at the gate of the dead hospital. The tears on his face were still wet, and he seemed to be crying for a second, but now, the fear of the unknown is eroding his heart little by little.

Tired of crying, so in a trance that you have hallucinations

Following behind Wu Sheng, walking and walking, exhausted, fainted, and began to dream

He tried to give this horror vision a reasonable explanation, but he couldn't convince himself.

He couldn't calm down and analyze these in depth, he just wanted to go back to school and see everything he was familiar with.

"Wu Sheng..." He shouted softly, with the last trace of anticipation.

No one responded.

Under the unfamiliar night sky, there are only this hospital, him, and the rustling in the shadows of the trees.

The rustling sound was a little strange, not like the chirping of birds and insects, nor like the wind blowing leaves, but rather like some kind of small animal, running in the depths of the shadows.

At the end of the road, a car was driving slowly.

Xu Wang instinctively turned his head when he heard the voice.

On the road under the moonlight, the driving car did not turn on the dazzling lights, but made the body faintly visible.

A colorful taxi.

Xu Wang had never seen such a fancy taxi before, as if someone had splashed all kinds of paints over and over, bright red, bright yellow, blue, emerald green, bright purple, and colorful colors crisscrossed the car body. After a long time, there is a strange harmony and liveliness.

The only thing that can determine its taxi status is the "TAXI" on the roof light.

After a brief visual impact, panic followed.

hide? Or calling for help? Nice guy in the car? Or the bad guy

Countless thoughts surged up in Xu Wang's heart at the same time, but it was difficult to make a choice.

This hesitation, the car has arrived in front of the hospital.

However, the driver did not mean to brake at all!

Xu Wang's whole body was jolted, and he hurried to the side to hide, but the action was too violent, and he stumbled on his feet, and the whole person rushed directly to the side of the road.

Fortunately, this flutter gave way.

The car passed slowly and drove into the hospital gate, as if he had never seen such a person blocking the way.

Xu Wang got up in embarrassment, his beating heart almost jumping out of his chest. The extreme fear of rubbing shoulders with the god of death turned the fear of being in an unfamiliar place before into shape.

The car that didn't take him seriously at all, after entering the hospital, stopped and parked beside a vertical board.

Three men got in and out of the car, carrying bags, and came to the stand, as if they were studying something.

Soon, one of the men said in a low voice: "Infection Department Building."

The other two made a "hmm" sound, apparently having no objection.

As if hearing that they had reached an agreement, a fourth voice came from the taxi, urging: "Get in the car."

The three immediately turned around and returned to the taxi.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Xu Wang became anxious, went out and shouted timidly, "Hello—"

One person has dexterously entered the back seat of the car, and the other two are also bending over to enter the car door, and no one has responded to his call.

Xu Wang was startled, ran out from behind the tree, and called the other person a second time, louder: "Hello—"

This time, it was only a few dozen meters away, so I should have heard it.

Yet still no.

They, can't see or hear him

The sudden panic made Xu Wang's hands and feet cold.

He couldn't take care of it anymore, he rushed to the back of the colorful taxi with a few strides, and slapped the trunk lid hard!

"Boom-"

The fragile trunk lid made a loud noise under the heavy blow.

Xu Wang's hands were numb.

The only person who hadn't gotten into the car was stunned and his eyes became vigilant.

Xu Wang was overjoyed, and immediately patted the trunk lid twice.

But the man didn't respond, still looking around defensively.

Xu Wang went straight to the car and slapped him on the back!

Hand, clapped empty.

To be precise, it passed through the opponent's body.

Xu Wang was stunned and tried several times in disbelief. His hand was really like a ghost, unable to touch the opponent's body at all.

But he obviously got the car!

Xu Wang is going crazy and doesn't know what to do so that they can see him, hear him, and know his existence!

Suddenly the wind came from behind.

Xu Wang turned his head reflexively, and a "person" with a bloody face rushed towards him!

Xu Wang was stunned, not to mention his reaction, even the screams were stuck in his throat!

"Bang-", he collided with the "blood man".

Losing his balance, he passed through the body of the only person who didn't get in the car, and fell to the ground, hurting from the fall.

However, the "blood man" didn't jump down together, and he bumped into the man.

The man seemed to be waiting for this moment. He raised his hand and "pushed" and "pushed" twice, and the "blood man" slid off him and collapsed to the ground.

Xu Wang suddenly realized that his vigilance just now was not because he was taking pictures of the car, but because he heard the "blood man" approaching.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that the man who killed the "blood man" didn't get in the car, a question came from the taxi, "Is there a problem?"

The man stared at the "corpse" on the ground and muttered to himself, "When the zombie rushed over, it seemed to hit something..."

The word "zombie" made Xu Wang's heart tremble.

The person in the car didn't hear clearly: "What?"

"It's okay." The man shook his head and got into the car.

The taxi restarted and continued on its way, gradually disappearing into the depths of the hospital complex.

Xu Wang lowered his head, and for the first time really saw the "blood man".

The corpse of "dead eyes" has a grim face, and in the wide eyes, there are no black pupils, only a reddish white.

He stood there, stiff.

The zombies I've only seen on TV have come true.

With a sudden nausea, he leaned over the standing board and retched.

At this moment, he was suddenly very fortunate that he didn't eat anything after lunch.

Unfamiliar places, people who can't see or hear him, ghostly self, murderous zombies... When Wu Sheng pushed him away, he thought the day couldn't be worse.

Now, he would rather let Wu Sheng push him again.

At least he could pull him up.

"Ow—"

In the depths of the hospital, from an unknown building, a shrill howl could be heard vaguely.

The indistinct hoarse howl made people's scalp tingle.

At the same time, the sound of rustling around was even louder. Before Xu Wang could react, countless black shadows appeared like a flat ground, ghosts and ghosts appeared, and like a tide, they ran wildly in the direction from which the howling came!

Xu Wang couldn't dodge in time, and was staggered by several passing zombies!

But when they hit him, those zombies didn't even look at him, as if they hit a transparent wall, just keep running after hitting them.

The constant collision made the sense of fear become numb and weak, and in contrast, the sense of strangeness became stronger and stronger.

As the corpse ran away, the night became quiet again.

Xu Wang raised his head. For the first time, he carefully looked at the vertical board. It was the floor plan of the hospital.

Infection Unit.

Xu Wang carefully remembered its location, turned around, and walked quickly towards the depths of the hospital.

Zombies belong to this weird world, but those four people are no different from ordinary people in terms of appearance and speech.

Keeping up with them—Xu Wang’s intuition, this is his only hope of returning home.

Infection department building, first floor.

The densely packed zombies almost filled most of the corridor. They ran wildly forward, like a swarm of bees that had been picked from their hives, chasing them viciously, the culprit.

"I told you not to touch him—"

"He rushed over, am I still gentle and continued-"

"What should we do now?!"

"Look for a place to hide-"

As soon as Xu Wang entered the building, he saw this magnificent scene.

The four who were not covered by the taxi fled forward in a panic, and the angry zombie army chased after them like a tsunami.

He happened to be standing in the only remaining quarter of the corridor that was empty, and the four people who were running for their lives approached him, and he had no difficulty mixing in and running with them.

Finally, at the end of the road, the four found a utility room and hid in a hurry.

Xu Wang also rushed in with them, for fear of being slow and being locked out of the door—he had already verified countless times on the way here, that he could not pass through walls, pass through doors, or escape from the sky. He clearly stated, Except for the four people in front of him, who can let him pass through at will, everything in this weird world is an entity to him. Even if the zombies don't respond to him, they will still collide and block.

"Cabinet hurry up-"

They wanted to block the door with a locker, so two people arrived at the door and two people pushed the locker. However, the cabinet was very heavy, and the two of them pushed and moved it, causing the cabinet to slump, and the debris inside fell down with a crackle.

Xu Wang dodged left and right, but let something, impartially, hit his head.

Fortunately, the thing was not too heavy. After smashing him, it fell to the ground, and the scroll rolled forward, spreading out the whole picture.

A pennant.

Red velvet bottom, bright yellow two-column characters - hanging pot to benefit the world, doctors and common people, and wonderful hands to rejuvenate and relieve pain.

"The Flame Mountain or the flood washed the Dragon King Temple?"

"Dragon King Temple."

"Sure?"

"You can still swim when it's hot, how can you run when it's on fire!"

In the blink of an eye, the four seemed to have made a decision.

One of them raised his arm and nodded firmly.

Xu Wang wanted to lean over to see what was on his arm, but he just took a step when he heard the sound of water.

water

In a blink of an eye, the four of them had all gone up to the windowsill, holding the window handle firmly, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Xu Wang's heart tightened, and he jumped up quickly, grabbing the same handle as one of them. This is a very strange thing, obviously he and the other party can grab the same thing, but they seem to overlap in two different spaces.

The flood washed open the door of the utility room, soaked them for more than ten seconds, and then slowly retreated. After about two minutes, they completely retreated.

The four jumped off the window sill, probed out to look, and were surprised at the end.

"It's gone?"

"Don't be this layer of zombies who are afraid of water..."

After chatting for a while, the four of them came out quickly, Xu Wang hurriedly followed, and followed them to the second floor.

There was only one zombie on the second floor, walking back and forth as if guarding the middle stairs.

After the four discussed it, one of them nodded his arm again.

This time Xu Wang could see clearly, there was an owl pattern on his arm, and there were options after clicking, which was very magical.

With another click, a bamboo dragonfly flew into the corridor on the second floor. The female nurse who was pushing the cart stopped, approached Bamboo Dragonfly, tilted her head to appreciate it, and the four took the opportunity to go up to the third floor from behind her.

The third floor is the same as the first and second floors. There are still many offices, distributed on both sides of the corridor. The four people seem to be looking for an epidemic prevention research room. Xu Wang couldn't understand, but the more he looked, the more he felt that they were playing a real game, arriving at the designated location, completing the corresponding tasks, and there were props to use.

But their expressions were terrifyingly serious, as if it was a life-and-death battle.

In the end, they identified two "suspicious offices", both with thick iron doors and red bells ringing at the door.

"50% chance."

"Choose right, we hand in the papers, choose wrong, we go home."

"toss a coin?"

"Don't worry, know yourself and the enemy, and you will win a hundred battles."

The three of them looked at the last speaker in puzzlement, and Xu Wang also got close to him, and saw him raise his arm and click on an icon in the stationery box—

In an instant, a three-flowered kitten appeared in front of the four of them. It was only two months old by visual inspection. The face was fair and the black and orange colors were evenly distributed on the forehead, like two small bangs, with one blue eye and one green eye. Extremely.

Xu Wangqing couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, but as soon as it touched the ear, the little milk cat turned around quickly, slipped a smoke, and got into one of the iron gates.

The iron gate was airtight, and there was no gap at all, but the little cat Sanhua passed through like this!

In less than a minute, Xiao Sanhua returned, and her little paws patted the ground several times, making a bunch of gray paw prints.

The four of them gathered together and focused on their research, like a scientific research team.

In the end, it was the user who gave up first, closed his eyes, and meditated again.

The soul painter, Xiao Sanhua, immediately flicked her tail and got into another iron gate.

This time it came back faster, at most ten seconds, and even the soul painting was gone, so it tilted its head and looked at the four people without blinking, the small appearance was beautiful and cute.

The four of them looked at each other for a long time, and the user understood: "The first office."

The other three are not very sure: "Are you sure you can see it?"

"Don't look at what it draws, just look at which one it draws," the user said, "There is something in the first office, so it can draw what it sees inside, the second room has nothing in it, maybe the first The second office doesn't exist, so it doesn't paint anything."

The three suddenly realized.

Xiao Sanhua seemed to see that the problem was solved, and tilted her head and gently rubbed the user's leg, as if she was coquettishly begging for a reward.

It's a pity that it's too small and its movements are so light that the user doesn't notice it. He and his partner got up, strode to the front of the first office, and pressed the red button.

The iron door slammed open.

The four entered immediately, and Xiao Sanhua lowered her head and followed obediently.

Xu Wang naturally followed.

This is the anti-epidemic research laboratory the four of them are looking for. There is an old doctor and a young male doctor. Seeing them coming, the circles of his eyes are red.

There are a lot of equipment in the research room, and the placement is very consistent with the paw prints that Xiao Sanhua had previously taken.

The four took out the metal box and handed it to the old doctor.

After listening to the conversation between the two sides, Xu Wang realized that they were escorting the vaccine.

That's when the accident happened.

The young male doctor suddenly knocked down the closest person.

The other three were stunned for a while before they realized what was going on and immediately joined the battle.

However, with the combined efforts of the four, they could not restrain the male doctor!

"Fuck, this is the goddamn zombie king—"

I don't know who shouted such a sentence, the male doctor suddenly used force, lifted everyone on his body, grabbed the nearest one at lightning speed, and bit the opponent's arm in one bite!

A few minutes later, the bitten became mad with infection.

Xu Wang's mind went blank, and he suddenly couldn't tell whether it was reality, fantasy, games, or fighting.

The battle ended with the victory of the Zombie King.

In the four-person team, there were only two people left, one who was bitten by his arm and turned into a zombie, and the other who was a user of Little Three Flowers, who successfully escaped from the research room.

The other two, Xu Wang watched helplessly as the Zombie King bit their necks, and in a flash, they disappeared out of thin air.

Xu Wang's head was completely messed up, but the iron door was suddenly opened again, and four people who were completely unfamiliar came in.

As soon as they came in, they solved the zombie king who had consumed most of their physical strength and the infected who had their arms bitten.

Xu Wang was standing in the middle of the battlefield, but there was nothing else other than being bumped twice from time to time by the zombie king.

The four newcomers also couldn't see, hear, or touch him.

Xu Wang was disheartened, and inadvertently saw the little three flowers in the corner.

Its user doesn't know where to go, it doesn't seem to keep up, shrinks in the corner, looks at everything in the epidemic prevention room timidly, like a homeless little wanderer, no longer has the vitality of the previous paw prints full.

Xu Wang walked over and gently hugged it into his arms.

Xiao Sanhua suddenly raised her head and looked around vigilantly, as if looking for the reason for the sudden flight.

Like those zombies, it could touch Xu Wang, but could not see him.

Xu Wang raised his hand and scratched its forehead lightly.

Xiao Sanhua first trembled with fear, then seemed to feel kindness and comfort, and slowly relaxed, cuddling in her invisible embrace, making a grunting sound.

As the four newcomers handed over their metal boxes to the old doctor, the previous vaccines were ignored.

The old doctor took out the vaccine of the latecomer and put it into the equipment.

The machine light came on, and Xu Wang heard a voice clearly—

[Owl: Congratulations on passing the test, the paper was handed in smoothly on 3/23! Dear, see you tomorrow~~]

The voice fell, and the four newcomers disappeared.

In the epidemic prevention research room, only the old doctor, Xu Wang, and the little Sanhua in his arms were left.

The air suddenly quieted down, and it was a little cold.

Xu Wang hugged Sanhua tightly, at a loss for a while.

The old doctor seems to be used to this. He first threw the metal box brought by the first group of people into the trash can, then turned off the running equipment, turned on the machine, and took out the vaccine that had just been put in, and similarly, threw it into the garbage can.

Xu Wang widened his eyes in shock, unable to believe what he saw.

Isn't that a vaccine? Isn't this the city's hope

The old doctor who said thank you for bringing hope with tears, and the old doctor who threw away the vaccine and wiped the experimental bench as if nothing happened, are they the same person

Yes, one person.

This is the most terrifying.

Xu Wang felt that what he saw and heard that night was not as terrifying as this moment.

[Owl: Who are you... who are you...]

When the cold air soaked through his limbs and bones, Xu Wang heard intermittent voices in his ears.
