Chapter 196: Late Night Ward
In the east area of the First People's Hospital of Yongcheng, there is an independent ten-story building, which is different from other buildings in the hospital in that this building only accepts mutants.
Deviants are different from ordinary people, and while they gain great power, they naturally pay some price in some aspects.
For example, healing the sick and healing.
After ordinary people get sick, they will be given injections or medicines according to the doctor's diagnosis, and in more serious cases, they will be hospitalized for treatment, or even have surgery.
Mutants are different, and strong physical fitness can make them immune to many diseases.
But once they get sick or injured, it is not something that can be treated by ordinary medical treatment.
Therefore, the abnormal medical department for the deviant came into being, and the building in the First People's Hospital of Yongcheng is of this nature.
Usually this building is deserted, after all, now that the society is stable, except for some bounty hunters who often do bounty tasks and demon hunting squads that hunt demon beasts, other deviants basically won't come here.
But now the building is completely different from usual, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as overcrowded.
There were long queues at the registration windows in the hall, and every consultation room was crowded with people, and the abnormal doctors who saw the patients couldn't wait to grow another pair of hands on their own, and even the nurses passing by in the corridor were all in the wind, and they almost started to run wildly.
It's all because of the Yongcheng Martial Arts Tryouts.
A few days before the start of the Zero-Order War, it was busy.
At that time, there were already a large number of mutant creatures within the Yongshi City to come to Yongcheng, ready to participate in the competition, and the more people there were, the more friction naturally increased, so many people came in with rubbing.
After the Zero Level Tournament began, the number of people who came in suddenly skyrocketed. Thousands of people went to the ring and fought in full swing on it, and the result was that there would definitely be a large number of wounded people.
So since that day, the medical staff in this building have not had a good day, and they are so busy every day that they can't wait to break it for two people.
This tryout was a carnival for the others, but it seemed like a nightmare for them, so much so that when they talked about the World Martial Arts Association, their faces changed drastically.
Now, not only the lobby and the various examination rooms are crowded with injured deviants, but even the inpatient departments on the fifth to tenth floors are also full of people.
Among the hospitalized deviants, the severed hands and feet were the least injured among them.
In a ward on the far right of the sixth floor of the inpatient department, near the elevator, Zhang Xiaofan was lying bored on the hospital bed scrolling through his mobile phone, his right leg was hanging high in the air, with a thick layer of green special plaster on it.
This leg was broken by an opponent with an iron bar in his hand while participating in the first-order trials, and it was his first match, which ended in a crushing defeat.
When he left the village, he bragged to his friends that he wanted to show them the top 100 first-order rankings, and now it's okay, and when he goes back, he will be laughed at by them.
The more Zhang Xiaofan thought about it, the more depressed he felt, and finally dropped the phone and began to sigh, but when he saw his roommate next to him, his mood improved a little.
This guy is much worse than him.
He had his leg broken with a stick, and his roommate had been hit in the chest with a mace. And it's not an ordinary mace, it's a giant fine iron mace used by an obese black bear essence, if it weren't for the referee's action at that time, this guy would definitely have become meat sauce on the spot.
Although he was now covered in holes and wrapped up like a mummy, he had finally picked up a life.
Just then, there was a shuffled footstep at the door, and then the door to the ward opened, and a group of doctors and nurses entered, one of whom was the nurse who was still looking after him, and she winked mischievously at him.
The group consisted mainly of a young doctor wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
Zhang Xiaofan knew him, as if he was the chief physician of some department, and he didn't know any of this, he only knew that this young doctor was an important person in this building.
Looking at the young doctor who came over with a warm smile, Zhang Xiaofan quickly struggled to sit up.
"You don't have to get up, just lie down." But it was the young doctor who walked up to him, gently pressed him, and put him back on the bed.
Looking at the gentle smile on the young doctor's face, Zhang Xiaofan unconsciously let out an "oh", and then obediently lay still.
After asking him about his condition, the young doctor gave him a few words and then went to check on his roommate, who was still asleep.
A group of people surrounded the roommate for a while before preparing to leave the place and head to the next ward.
But just as they were about to walk out of the door, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, how long will I stay here?" ”
The young doctor paused, then turned around and said with a smile: "Soon, as long as you take your medicine on time and rest well at night, your leg will heal in a few days." ”
"Thank you, doctor!" Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed when he heard this, lying idle every day was simply a kind of torture for him who was active by nature. The whole book
The young doctor nodded at him and continued to walk outside, leaving Zhang Xiaofan lying on the bed, imagining the free life outside.
............
At twelve o'clock in the morning, the building could finally rest after a busy day.
Most of the rooms in the building were plunged into darkness, except for the duty room and a few hallway lights, which brought some light to the pitch-black building.
At this time, Zhang Xiaofan was very entangled in whether to press the call button at the head of the bed.
He was torn between humiliation and hunger.
Press, wait for the nurse to come, and then tell people that they can't sleep because they are too hungry, this kind of thing feels very embarrassing to think about.
But if he didn't, the feeling of hunger was so hard that he felt like he was going to collapse at the thought of holding back it until dawn.
It's all because of the pot of seafood noodles at night, I don't know who made it, but I actually added a piece of meat to it.
As a person who felt uncomfortable when he smelled meat and was about to vomit when he bit the meat, Zhang Xiaofan spit out all the things he ate at that time, including the healing medicine that the nurse on duty specially asked him to eat in person.
After he vomited, he was embarrassed to tell the nurse, so he secretly tied up the bag containing the vomit and buried it in the deepest part of the trash can.
I don't know how he got this weird problem, anyway, he has been like this since he was a child, so for him, the family has switched to vegetarian food and seafood.
The hunger in his stomach became more and more unbearable, Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth and prepared to press the call button.
But just as his fingers were about to touch the button, he suddenly froze. He didn't realize it when he was entangled just now, but now he felt a thick strangeness permeating this space.
Quiet, so quiet!
As an inpatient department, even if it's late, you can always hear some voices.
Whether it is the movement of doctors and nurses, or the moaning and coughing of some patients or even the sound of going to the toilet, there will always be sounds from time to time, especially in the middle of the night, this movement will be infinitely amplified.
But now he didn't hear anything other than the ticking of the wall clock on the wall of his room, including the breathing of his roommates lying next to him!
The whole world was dead silent, as if he were just a living thing.
Dense cold sweat oozed out instantly, all over his forehead, and the fingers that were about to be pressed slowly retracted, Zhang Xiaofan moved little by little in the darkness like this, and put himself down on the bed with a very slight movement.
He didn't dare to make any movement, and there was an indescribable feeling in the darkness that told him that if he made the slightest noise, something terrible would happen to him.
"Ding."
A voice suddenly came from outside the door, right next to it!
Zhang Xiaofan knew that it was the arrival of the elevator in the building, but instead of breaking the dead silence, this sound made the fear in his heart suddenly explode, as if some kind of great horror came up on the elevator.
"Click."
The elevator doors slowly opened, followed by a creaking sound, accompanied by the regular "click" sound of leather shoes hitting the ground.
The creaking sound Zhang Xiaofan had heard, it was the sound of a simple mobile bed dragging on the ground in the hospital, and doctors usually used this kind of bed whether they were moving patients or moving corpses.
Now, someone is pushing this kind of bed out of the elevator.
However, at this moment, Zhang Xiaofan still didn't hear any other sounds, no nurses' inquiries, no startled sounds of people being awakened, and the whole world was left with the sound of people pushing the hospital bed.
They echoed faintly in the empty hallway, far away.
"Crunch, squeak", "da, da".
The voice was getting closer and closer to his ward, getting closer and closer, and Zhang Xiaofan's heart was also at the top.
There was a darkness outside the door, and then the voices suddenly stopped, and they stopped at the door of this ward!
Looking at the motionless dark shadow that suddenly appeared in the crack in the doorway, Zhang Xiaofan's heart sank to the bottom suddenly.
His target turned out to be his own room!
