Chapter 21: The Dead Area (3)
Ge Yingming, a specialist in neurology at Yixiang People's Hospital, has won many medical awards. Ge Yingming, who was standing in front of us, was 1.8 meters tall and had a thinner figure. His face was a little thin, with a little stubble on his chin, and his face looked a little haggard, but his eyes were bright. As Chen Peihua said, this doctor named Ge Yingming is indeed very handsome, even if his face is haggard, his masculine charm still emanates through his appearance.
"Chen Peihua?" Ge Yingming, who saw Chen Peihua, was surprised.
"Yingming, I miss you so much. Chen Peihua happily rushed to Ge Yingming and hugged him. Because Ge Yingming's body was not as thick as Chen Peihua's, Ge Yingming failed to catch Chen Peihua's impact, staggered back a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm so happy. Chen Peihua covered her tears and said to Ge Yingming, "You don't know how much I miss you." Ever since you helped me escape and leave that day, I have been praying every day that you are safe. I didn't expect that I could meet you here again today, it's really a blessing. β
Ge Yingming, who was stunned, saw me and Chen Yaofei coming out of the ward, showed a wry smile and gently pushed Chen Peihua away and said to her, "I miss you too." I thought I would never see you again. β
Chen Peihua listened to Ge Yingming's words and wanted to have a warm hug with Ge Yingming again, but was interrupted by Ge Yingming. Ge Yingming asked Chen Peihua to look at us and asked Chen Peihua, "Who are these children?"
"They?" Chen Peihua said to Ge Yingming with a smile as she turned to us, "they are the survivors I met in the hospital. You don't know, we met a white-eyed zombie just now, and the situation is very thrilling......"
Noticing that Chen Peihua was about to tear it away, Ge Yingming greeted us: "Hello." I'm Dr. Ge Yingming from Yixiang People's Hospital. Look at you, you're a student?"
"Yes," Chen Yaofei replied to Ge Yingming, "we are students of Yixiang No. 2 Middle School. β
"Yixiang No. 2 Middle School is that person's alma mater. But I graduated from Yixiang No. 1 Middle School. "I don't understand why Ge Yingming is talking about his alma mater from which he graduated. Speaking of Yixiang No. 1 Middle School, it is the No. 1 high school among the key high schools in our district. People have to have dreams, but I didn't have the dream of being admitted to Yixiang No. 1 Middle School when I took the high school entrance examination, because people are self-aware, and I know that with my ability, I can't be admitted to Yixiang No. 1 Middle School, where the elite is located. Some people say that this is inferiority complex, and I will admit that I am an inferiority complex, anyway, the outcome of the matter has long been determined.
"Doctor Ge, you are so powerful, Yixiang No. 1 Middle School is a very remarkable key high school. I don't know if Chen Yaofei is patting on the back or really praising Ge Yingming from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, ahaha......" Hearing Chen Yaofei's praise, Ge Yingming laughed.
"Uhh......hh We looked behind Ge Yingming and saw four slow-moving zombies walking towards us.
"Can this ward be used?" Ge Yingming thought to the ward we had just been in.
"No, this ward won't work. Chen Peihua closed the door of the ward.
A look of displeasure appeared on Ge Yingming's face, but when he saw the stick in Chen Yaofei's hand, his displeasure dissipated. He asked Chen Yaofei: "Is this the baton used by the security guard?"
Seeing Chen Yaofei nodded, Ge Yingming said to Chen Yaofei: "You won't use this baton." Give me this baton. β
Without scruples, Chen Yaofei obediently handed over the stick. I would have liked to keep the stick, but it was much more practical in Dr. Ge's hands than in ours.
"Since there is no rest in this ward, let's look for another safe ward. Ge Yingming said and charged ahead, "You follow closely behind me, don't get lost." β
You feel at ease when someone comes forward in a difficult situation and follows them. The front was handed over to Ge Yingming, and I had time to observe the situation around me. I always feel like I have a delusion: has this floor changed? If you ask me what has changed, I can't say, but I think that the gynecology ward on the eighth floor is a little different from when we came yesterday. Speaking of which, what time is it?
I pulled out my phone and turned on the display screen, and I was too scared to move when I saw the time on my phone.
"Yi Jiahe, what's wrong with you?" asked Chen Yaofei, who noticed that I was standing still.
Ge Yingming and Chen Peihua, who were walking in the front, also stood still and turned to me when they heard Chen Yaofei's question. I held up my phone screen and showed it to them, and replied, "It's almost 10 a.m......."
"No......" Chen Yaofei also noticed that something was wrong, and said to me, "Time flies too fast." β
"What are you talking about?" asked us.
"It's time," I said to Chen Peihua and Ge Yingming, "I remember that we didn't go to 11 p.m. when we went to bed last night." So, we slept for almost eleven hours?"
"We've slept for so long?" Chen Yaofei pondered.
"yes, I don't know. I only care about running for my life and saving my life, and I rarely pay attention to the specific time. Chen Peihua said.
Ge Yingming turned back and faced forward, and as he continued walking, he said to us, "Let's go." β
"But that's weird. "The three of us followed Ge Yingming.
Ge Yingming looked ahead and said, "Time is meaningless to survive in this ghost place where there are dead people everywhere and there is no way to escape. β
We followed Ge Yingming up the stairs next to the elevator to the twelfth floor. Ge Yingming said that he had just escaped from below - the corpses below were already full, and if we went down, we would definitely run into a group of zombies with no place to bury.
"It's weird. "Coming to the twelfth floor, I remember the experience we had yesterday when we took the elevator stairs.
"What's wrong?" asked Ge Yingming.
"Like," Chen Peihua also noticed something unusual, "we didn't come here yesterday." β
"What's so strange about that. Ge Yingming laughed.
I replied to Ge Yingming: "Yesterday we didn't come here, but we couldn't get here, because there were a large number of wheelchairs blocking our way on the stairs from the tenth to the eleventh floor. β
"You're mistaken. Ge Yingming walked up to the nurse's station and looked around.
"No, it won't. I'm pretty sure I'm not mistaken, "It's all zombies here, and there's no way anyone would risk their lives to help remove so many wheelchairs." β
"Then what's going on?" Ge Yingming turned to me and asked.
"I ...... I don't know. "I don't have a clue.
Ge Yingming smiled and said to me kindly: "The most important thing now is to find a safe place to stay and protect our lives. β
"Yes. "I agree with that.
"By the way," Ge Yingming asked me and Chen Yaofei, "I was in a hurry to see the zombies just now, and I haven't asked your names yet." β
It seems that you didn't ask because you were immersed in Chen Yaofei's sycophancy. However, after all, Ge Yingming reported himself first, and it would be a bit rude for us to deliberately conceal it.
"My name is Yi Jiahe. This is mine, uh, my friend, Chen Yaofei. β
"If it weren't for this sinister situation, I would have said 'nice to meet you', but for now, let's take care of the situation around us and prepare in time to avoid being caught off guard by zombies. β
"It's okay," Chen Peihua said with a smile, "If anything, you will definitely help us get out of danger." I believe in you. β
A subtle look of displeasure flashed across Ge Yingming's face. He replied to Chen Peihua: "Yes, I will definitely protect you." β
The twelfth floor of Inpatient Building No. 3 is the hepatobiliary surgery ward. I knew what liver was and what gallbladder was, and thinking that hepatobiliary surgery was probably about treating diseases related to liver and gallbladder, I urged Chen Yaofei to follow me quickly.
Suddenly, Ge Yingming stopped. Chen Peihua followed Ge Yingming to stop, then turned around and erected a food signal to us not to make a sound. Looks like my nightmare is coming: the white-eyed zombies are ahead of us.
"Don't worry, if what Chen Peihua said is true, then the white-eyed zombies will only attack us because we make noises. As long as we don't make a sound, they will leave as obediently as they did yesterday. "I consoled myself in my heart.
"Uhh......hh
I slowly turned around to investigate the source of the sound, only to see a zombie appear behind us, screaming "uh-ah" and walking towards us.
"No......" I read the silent words of Chen Peihua, who turned around and also saw the zombies behind us.
Hearing the voice, the white-eyed zombie in front of us pointed the finger at us.
"Listen, we're in the hospital room, gently probing the unlocked door and going in. Ge Yingming commanded softly.
"Uhh......hh
I turned my head to look behind me and saw another zombie behind us. No, not one, there are a lot of zombies coming behind us. Looking back, I saw the white-eyed zombie shaking its head and taking a step towards us. After that, there was also an additional white-eyed zombie behind the white-eyed zombie. The extra white-eyed zombie was dressed in a white lab coat, and there was clearly a doctor in front of it.
"Doctor Gao?" Chen Peihua lost her voice.
The white-eyed zombie determines the direction. The first white-eyed zombie in civilian clothes ran towards us.
"This way!" As the white-eyed zombie walked, Chen Yaofei opened the door of the ward next to him.
The doctor, the white-eyed zombie followed the first white-eyed zombie and ran towards us.
"Get in!"
I became the third person to enter the ward at Ge Yingming's order. After I entered, Ge Yingming entered the room, closed the room door, and locked it. As soon as Ge Yingming locked it, the white-eyed zombie arrived in front of the ward. I haven't been chased by zombies in a ward since I came to this damn ward. The two white-eyed zombies went berserk and kept banging on the door of the ward, roaring like beasts. Ge Yingming leaned against the door against the white-eyed zombie's collision. Seeing this, I immediately leaned against the door to help Ge Yingming. Although the strength of the zombies seems to be quite large, but judging from the current situation, as long as there are no four, five, or six white-eyed zombies outside the ward frantically banging on the door, I think we can escape.
"Yi Jia and ......"
"Why, I didn't see we were busy. Wait for the white-eyed zombie to leave ......"
I followed Chen Yaofei's line of sight, and in the dim light of the ward, a white-eyed zombie stood in front of us shaking his head.
"Whew-" The white-eyed zombie roared and ran at us.
Chen Peihua dodged, but Chen Yaofei didn't dodge. He grabbed the white-eyed zombie and resisted desperately. The white-eyed zombie opened its bloody mouth with an amazing force, and dragged Chen Yaofei towards us. I'm glad that the white-eyed zombie just waved its arms at us, if it caught Chen Yaofei like a zombie in the movie, Chen Yaofei would definitely be restrained by it because of the difference in strength, and then be bitten by it.
"Yi Jiahe, stick!" Chen Yaofei shouted to me.
"Good. I quickly took the stick from Ge Yingming's hand, but I didn't know how to hand it to Chen Yaofei.
"Stick ......" Chen Yaofei couldn't hold on for long.
"Huh-" The white-eyed zombie shouted, as if it had opened its mind, grabbed Chen Yaofei with its bloody hands, and then bit Chen Yaofei with more force.
"Yi Jiahe, I can't hold it anymore......" The teeth of the white-eyed zombie almost touched Chen Yaofei's face.
Gritting my teeth, I rushed to the side of Chen Yaofei and the white-eyed zombie, stuffed the stick into the mouth of the white-eyed zombie, and then helped Chen Yaofei pull away the white-eyed zombie's hands. As if sensing my existence, the white-eyed zombie let go of Chen Yaofei and came to arrest me.
"Yi Jiahe, help me ......" I knew what Chen Yaofei meant when I saw Chen Yaofei pushing away the white-eyed zombie vigorously.
I dodged the white-eyed zombie with a waving hand, moved behind the white-eyed zombie, hugged it, and dragged it back with all the strength I had been nursing for more than twenty years. In a hurry, when I hugged the white-eyed zombie, I didn't expect that my body would be transformed due to poisoning. When I realized it, I ignored the three-seven-twenty-one, thought about changing it, and tried to drag it away from Chen Yaofei.
......Ge Yingming, who was struggling to resist the zombies outside the door, said to us, "Matches, find out if there are any matches!"
Chen Peihua, who hid to the side because of surprise, heard Ge Yingming's instructions and nodded again and again, and went to the wardrobe and bedside table to look for matches.
"Wise, there are no matches, but there is a lighter. "I don't understand what Ge Yingming means. I was amazed that there was a lighter in the ward, and how the dead man I was holding was so powerful.
"Set the sheets on fire and set fire to anything that can be lit!" shouted Ge Yingming.
Chen Peihua nodded again and again. She ripped the sheets off the bed and lit the fire with a lighter. The flames began as small clusters and slowly engulfed the entire sheet.
"Whew-" As the sheets burned, the white-eyed zombie I was holding struggled as if trying to escape the burning sheets.
"Yi, Yi Jiahe, quickly push the zombie into the fire, or cover the zombie with a burning sheet!" Ge Yingming ordered.
Put the burning sheets on the zombies, and I'll burn them myself. However, after the flames burned, the white-eyed zombie was like a deflated ball, and without a little strength, it couldn't even struggle to get rid of me. So, I pushed the white-eyed zombie into the fire with all my might. Because I wasn't in the right direction, the white-eyed zombie just rubbed against the burning sheets. Strangely, the white-eyed zombie was only scratched with flames at first, but then it was engulfed in flames like a flammable substance. The three of us watched in silence as the white-eyed zombie struggled for less than half a minute before falling to the ground and not moving.
"Dead?" Chen Peihua said.
"It's so warm. Chen Yaofei said.
I came back to my senses and immediately ran to Ge Yingming's side to help him resist the crazy white-eyed zombies outside the door.
"Time...... It's almost ......," Ge Yingming whispered.
After about a minute, the white-eyed zombie stopped knocking on the door. I looked up through the glass window and saw them standing still, neither roaring nor bobbing their heads, motionless like wooden men.
"Put out the fire as soon as possible, and then don't make a sound. Ge Yingming left the door of the hospital room and went to the bathroom, fetched a basin of water from the basin inside, and then splashed the water on the burning sheets.
Fortunately, Chen Peihua was smart enough to tear out the sheets first and then light them, otherwise we would have to be burned to death by the fire even if we were not bitten to death by zombies.
Under Ge Yingming's instructions, it took us less than a minute to extinguish the fires on both sides.
"You can ...... the fire on the white-eyed zombie by extinguishing it."
"Shhh......hhh
The four of us waited in the ward for five minutes before Ge Yingming arrived at the door of the ward and looked out through the glass window. After a few seconds, he said to us, "It's okay, it's safe." β
It was so uncomfortable to look at the dead body that I covered it with a red stained sheet.
"Humanitarian, boy. Ge Yingming, who was sitting on the hospital bed, said to me.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Ge. If it weren't for your instructions, we'd probably have entered Hades' Palace. "I thank Ge Yingming.
"It's okay to enter the Hades Palace......" Ge Yingming clenched his fists.
Seeing that I couldn't continue to talk to Ge Yingming, I wanted to ask Chen Yaofei and Chen Peihua how they were, but Chen Yaofei asked Ge Yingming before I could say anything: "Doctor Ge, how do you know that zombies are afraid of fire?" I wanted to find a suitable time to ask Ge Yingming this question, but since Chen Yaofei raised it, I listened to Ge Yingming's answer.
"Aren't all zombies in the movie afraid of fire, so I thought I'd give it a try. Ge Yingming said.
"I see. Chen Yaofei accepted Ge Yingming's answer.
However, I still have a major doubt: what does Ge Yingming's phrase "time is almost up" mean?
"What if I can't find matches and lighters?" I asked Ge Yingming.
Ge Yingming smiled squintly and said, "Then we can only consider ourselves unlucky and be bitten to death by that white-eyed zombie." β
Ge Yingming's words were like a gag order, sealing our mouths. I looked at Chen Peihua, who was sitting on the bench with a fugue expression.
"Ah Hua, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah," Chen Peihua came back to her senses and said, "It's nothing." Wise, you're really amazing. If we can get out of danger, when the time comes, can we go on a date together?"
Ge Yingming looked down at the floor with a straight face, and after a long time, he raised his head and replied to Chen Peihua with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about it when we go out successfully." β
About twenty minutes later, Chen Peihua stood up and said, "It's time for us to change places." β
"Why do you want to change places?" asked Chen Peihua.
"Sister Chen said that there is a faceless monster here who will open the door of the ward, which is terrifying. Chen Yaofei preemptively replied to Ge Yingming.
"Oh," Ge Yingming asked Chen Peihua after a moment's thought, "when did you see it?"
"About a week ago. β
"Where?"
"The floor below this building. β
After listening to Chen Peihua's answer, Ge Yingming fell into thought again. I always felt that Ge Ying was hiding something from us. First, Ge Yingming knew that white-eyed zombies were afraid of fire. Ge Yingming said that he knew this in the movie, but the zombies in this ward are not all like in the movie: the zombies here are poisonous, and the body of the living will ......
"Ugh. "I looked at Chen Yaofei, and Chen Yaofei, who noticed my gaze, also looked at me, and then showed me a bright smile. "Doctor Ge," I asked Ge Yingming, "Chen Yaofei and I have both come into contact with white-eyed zombies, especially me, and I also hugged white-eyed zombies. Me, will I be poisoned?"
Ge Yingming raised his head with a serious expression. He asked me, "Did you touch the skin of a zombie?"
"Yes......"
Ge Yingming asked Chen Yaofei: "What about you?"
He was grabbed by the zombie's hands, but the zombie grabbed his clothes, not his skin. "I looked at Chen Yaofei, although there were some red stains left by zombies on his clothes, but the zombies didn't scratch his clothes. And so, my heart sank into the sea.
"It's fine. "Ge Yingming's words were my lifesaver.
"Really?" I actually hope that Ge Yingming's words are 100% correct.
"Not sure. It should be fine. There really has to be something ......," Ge Yingming did not continue.
I still wanted to hear more comforting words, so Chen Peihua interjected and said, "It's time for us to leave, it's almost time." β
Ge Yingming got up first and asked Chen Yaofei to give him the stick. After Chen Yaofei gave up, Ge Yingming walked to the door of the ward to investigate the situation outside.
"Yingming, speaking of which, where is your white coat?" asked Chen Peihua.
"It's in tatters, I put it in the nurses' station. Ge Yingming waved at us, opened the door of the hospital room and walked out.
As we all walked out of the ward, Ge Yingming led us to the staircase crossing in the East District.
"Wise, shall we go upstairs?"
"Let's go to the lower floor. β
Chen Peihua stopped and said to Ge Yingming, "We can't go there. β
Ge Yingming turned to Chen Peihua and said, "I have something very important to pick up in the floor below. β
"What is it?" I asked.
"Now is not the time to tell you. Anyway, it's a very important thing. β
"But ......"
Chen Peihua wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ge Yingming: "Ah Hua, don't worry, I promise, the monster you see will definitely not be on the lower floor." If he's still on the eleventh floor, I swear I'll protect you with my life. β
Chen Peihua said coquettishly: "I don't want you to do your best to protect me, I just want you and I to live safely, and then get out of this terrible hospital." β
"Yes, yes, yes. β
As they spoke, the two picked up. Seeing this scene, Chen Yaofei hurriedly covered his eyes. I've seen a lot of bloody plots, so I don't feel much about it. Although I would love to curse them to "show affection and die quickly", since we are all in the same boat, I still don't want to do this kind of thing, who knows what will happen to us in the next second.
We descended the East Stairs to the Urology Ward on the 11th floor of Building 3. I remember Chen Peihua saying that she was a faceless monster she saw in the Eastern District. There are no faceless monsters in the East Side, not even zombies.
"Look, I say, it's not going to be here. Ge Yingming said to Chen Peihua.
Chen Peihua nodded and smiled at Ge Yingming. When she smiled, dimples appeared on her fat face. For a moment I overlapped her with my sister and secretly laughed in my heart.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get something from the West End. β
"I'll go too. Chen Peihua grabbed the corner of Ge Yingming's clothes.
"Ah Hua, be good, obedient. β
"I don't. I'm going with you. "Chen Peihua's coquettish appearance is very funny.
Unable to resist Chen Peihua, Ge Yingming returned the stick to Chen Yaofei and said to us, "You are waiting for us here." There are no zombies nearby now. If a zombie appears, leave us alone and try to run back to the ward where we just stayed and wait for us to come to you. β
"Don't worry, Doctor Ge, I will definitely protect Yi Jiahe. "I'll go, you will protect me...... Well, you do seem to be a little better than me.
Ge Yingming and Chen Peihua left, and I asked Chen Yaofei: "Yaofei, do you remember what you helped me deal with the white-eyed zombies last night?"
"What's wrong?"
"I just want to ask, how do you play that stick so well?"
"What, Yi Jia and you want to learn nunchucks?" Chen Yaofei said to me with a smile.
"Nunchucks?"
"That's right," Chen Yaofei said to me when he took out the stick that he wiped many times after defeating the white-eyed zombie, "I have practiced nunchucks myself, so it's a matter of interest." Although I gave up in the end, I didn't expect it to come in handy here. β
Boy, forgive me for my poor imagination as a twenty-eight-year-old adult, but I really can't associate nunchucks with batons - because they're both "sticks"?
"If you want to learn nunchucks, I can teach you. Chen Yaofei said with a smile.
"No, no. β
Chen Yaofei and I were waiting for Ge Yingming and Chen Peihua in the east area on the 11th floor. Within a minute, I was running on both sides to see if they had returned, to see if the zombies had appeared. This was repeated five times, but Ge Yingming, Chen Peihua and the zombies did not appear.
"Yaofei, there don't seem to be many zombies in this hospital. β
"Aren't we going to be finished if there are a lot of zombies?"
Also. However, I always had a bad feeling that there weren't many zombies. If the number of zombies in a large area is fixed - the total amount is normal for deviations, after all, there are more zombies when someone dies - there are not many zombies in a small area, which means that there are a large number of zombies in another small area. The question is: Why do the zombies in the movie who often act irregularly stop when chasing and killing the living as if they are acting in a regular manner in this ward?
"Yaofei, you say ......"
"Whew-" A beastly howl echoed through the floor. I immediately got up to check on the situation, but I didn't expect Ge Yingming to appear at the end of the passage and rush towards us.
"Get on the elevator!" shouted Ge Yingming.
Just as I was wondering why he didn't let us retreat to the stairs in the East Side, I saw a group of slow-moving zombies appear behind us.
"Run, run, run!" Chen Yaofei and I ran and ran to the elevator with Ge Yingming's instructions. Thankfully, the elevator stays right on this level.
"Uhh......h
As soon as we entered the elevator, zombies appeared at the entrance of the staircase oppositeβnot just one, but a group.
"Yi Jia and you press the elevator open button!" Chen Yaofei finished speaking, ran out of the elevator and threw a stick to hit the zombies, and repelled the two who took the lead.
Looking at the zombie's distorted face from being hit with a stick, I almost threw up. I dare to love that I haven't eaten breakfast, my stomach is empty, how can I vomit? I have been running for my life, and I can't take care of hunger.
Chen Yaofei helped Ge Yingming buy a little time, and I bought a little time for the two of them. In the end, the three of us entered the elevator safely.
"Hey, what about Ah Hua?" I asked Ge Yingming.
"Yes, why is Sister Chen gone. Chen Yaofei threw the stick straight and wanted to shake off the rotten flesh on the stick.
Ge Yingming was out of breath and answered us after a while: "She ran up the stairs in the East District first, but I didn't catch up." β
Knowing that Chen Peihua had avoided this group of zombies, I asked Ge Yingming, "I pressed the twelfth layer temporarily." Where do we go next?"
Ge Yingming pointed to the elevator button board with his left finger, which was not holding the briefcase, and said, "Higher, let's go to the fifteenth floor." "Don't forget the latest chapter of the "Don't Forget the Blessing and Claw Book House of the Past in the Past" is free to read for the first time.
