Chapter 35: Notes (Part II)
It's not a flash in the pan, it's like a flash in the pan. It is not a return to the light, it should be like a return to the light. Twenty-four hours, a life that has risen from the dead, passed away forever before my eyes, never to be awakened again. Why? After exhausting the medical knowledge I have learned all my life, I can't explain why, let alone save Wang Liang, who calls me my big brother.
Wang Liang, who was talking and laughing with Xia Li, suddenly had difficulty breathing, his body twitched, and he foamed at the mouth. As the white foam spat out, Wang Liang suddenly coughed up a large amount of blood and put it on Xia Li's face. Xia Li called, checked, and immediately cooperated with me to take first aid measures. However, after only a few seconds, Wang Liang's heart stopped. Emergency measures were ineffective, and Wang Liang never woke up.
At a certain time and a certain time on a certain day of a certain month, Wang Liang's death was confirmed.
On this day, I was extremely angry and made a declaration to Zhang Guofu to expose the truth: "Vice President Zhang, we must give Wang Liang's parents an explanation!"
"Confess, confess what?" Zhang Guofu asked knowingly.
"Although the new drug we used was able to miraculously restore the patient's signs of life for a period of time after the cardiac arrest, the patient died 24 hours later, and the new drug was injected to restore the disease. Wang Liang's parents finally saw their son come back to life, and now they have to experience the pain of losing their son again, what a sad thing. I think we have a responsibility to give Wang Liang's parents an explanation. ”
"Yes, hmph," Zhang Guofu said contemptuously, "I said a long time ago, this potion is in the experimental stage, who knows what will happen." Although we were using a new drug without the consent of the patient's family, at least we were able to reunite the patient with his or her parents. ”
"It's only 24 hours. After that, the patient died in agony. Vice President Zhang, you know how ...... it is to watch your patients struggle desperately and then die."
"Du Ming!" Zhang Guofu stood up and shouted at me, "Don't forget, you made a promise not to tell me about it." Now, the doctors in the whole hospital are grasshoppers on a line. If you break the basket, do you know how many doctors will suffer with you? Can you bear to watch Xia Li lose her job with you, and end up with you in a treacherous fate?"
One misstep turned into a thousand years of hatred, and he regretted that he should not have been glad about Wang Liang's resurrection and made a promise not to report it.
"Vice President Zhang, I'm not afraid of being fired. What's more, this matter was originally started by you, and if the dean and the relevant departments knew about it, they would definitely know about it. ”
"Discerning?" Zhang Guofu threatened me, "Then you should talk to them." At that time, all the doctors in the hospital will prove that what you say is pure slander, and I will definitely not be able to be doctors for the rest of your life with your dear girlfriend!"
"Zhang Guofu, you bastard!"
As I clenched my fists, a neurosurgeon ran up to me and shouted, "Vice President Zhang, Dr. Xia Li's condition is very strange. ”
"Xia Li, what's wrong with her?" the attention to Xia Li suppressed my anger.
"I don't know. When the patient failed to rescue and returned to our office, Dr. Xia Li has been weird. Just now, she suddenly fainted and fell to the ground. There are already doctors and nurses who are helping her with emergency measures, so I took this time to report to you, and by the way, Dr. Du Ming went to see it immediately. ”
Letting go of my anger at Zhang Guofu, I immediately went to the neurosurgeon's office on the 19th floor. As soon as the elevator reached the nineteenth floor, I heard someone in the hallway shouting "Kill, kill." I saw the doctors and nurses on the nineteenth floor fleeing in a mess. I dodged the running people and walked towards Natsuri's office. Outside the office, my Xia Li stood there and watched the panicked crowd.
"Xia Li, danger!"
A patient is pushed and bumped into Xia Li, and Xia Li falls to the ground. The patient who also fell to the ground was terrified when he saw Xia Li, and fled from Xia Li in a panic. Suddenly, a man flashed out of the corner on the side, grabbed the patient, and actually bit him. The red liquid flowed out, and the patient reached out to me, struggling to get rid of it. The biting madman let go, and then took another bite. This bite hits the patient's artery, and a large amount of red fluid flows out.
"Xia Li, go away!" I shouted, and I rushed to Xia Li. Before I got to the madman who bit people, I watched Xia Li stagger to her feet, and the madman also bit the patient.
The patient stopped struggling and lowered his hands with his eyes open. When a woman saw this, she screamed and sat down. Xia Li sensed her presence and staggered towards her. The woman cried out for help, backwards, and when she saw a child running in the aisle, she pulled him to Xia Li.
"Xia Li, stop!" I ran around the monster that was gnawing at the patient and ran towards Xia Li.
However, I couldn't stop Natsuri. The crazy Xia Li bit the child's hand, ripped off a piece of meat and chewed it. When I rushed to Xia Li's side, I realized that the Xia Li in front of me was no longer my Xia Li: white eyes like a dead man, and red liquid all over her mouth. My Natsuri has become a monster like the thing that bites people over there.
"Ah...... Prevent...... Fast...... Ahh
I dodged Xia Li and picked up the child with the injured arm, and left her without looking back. When I was far away from Xia Li, I couldn't bear to look back at her. She shuffled and then lunged at a young man who had been cornered by someone in her own situation.
"Ahh Such a tragic voice resounded in the hospital for a while.
The hospital we work for, the hospital that saves lives, has become hell on earth in the blink of an eye.
On a certain day of the month, I don't know if the weather is sunny or rainy.
The boy I saved from Xia Li is dead. However, he didn't really die. When I opened my eyes, he suddenly pounced on me and I dodged it, but the patient behind me became his target, and he bit the carotid artery. Screams, shouts, this temporary shelter is no longer safe. Several doctors worked together to restrain the boy and stuff him into the cupboard, but one of the doctors was bitten by him on the way.
History is always strikingly similar. During the escape, the doctor, who had been bitten by the boy on the arm, suddenly fell to the ground and died. It didn't take long for him to tremble and get to his feet, becoming an inhuman being like those biting monsters.
Everything seemed like a dream: the way out of the hospital was closed, and at some point darkness began to fall outside the window. We have tried to smash glass with iron, in vain. The hospital seems to have become a slaughterhouse, where we are the prey, and those who come back from the dead are the butchers. All we can do is fight to the death and run for our lives to find safety.
On a certain day in the month, it was dark outside the window, and it was impossible to see the weather.
Bearing in mind my duty to save people, I tried my best to save the living as much as I could on the way to safety. However, the heavens did not agree, and on the way to escape with them, many people were bitten to death by monsters. The rest of us stayed with me in a safe room, but we knew it was not a good place to stay long.
We watched the monsters move, escaping the room as they moved away from us, looking for a way out and hiding from them for a temporary shelter.
The number of people became smaller and smaller, and finally only five people remained, including me. One of them tried to kill himself in front of us, but I saved him. With tears streaming down his face, he said to me that there was no hope for us. I told him that I would get everyone out safe and sound. People have to have hope, and with hope comes courage. But they didn't know how scared I was. If I could, I'd like to die. But no, because they need my help.
"There's hope......" I murmured.
A certain day of the month.
The electronic clock in the hospital has been damaged, and in the oppressive atmosphere, we must always be vigilant and watch out for the movement of monsters. Being able to remember time is a great thing...... Until now, I can only seek one or two small things to enjoy myself and deceive myself.
Once upon a time, the clamor in the hospital had subsided, and the hospital was filled with the screams of monsters thirsting for prey.
The man who wanted to kill himself died. He obviously wanted to die, but when we were in danger, he stepped forward and became food for a large number of monsters. There were only three people with me, and one of them was bitten by a fast-moving monster, and although he escaped with the help of everyone, we all knew that he would not survive.
"I know, I know ......" Tears streamed down his cheeks.
The number of monsters outside has decreased, and it's time to get out of this tiny storage room.
The man lowered his bitten arm, wiped away his tears with his other hand, and summoned up the courage to say to us, "I'll hold them back, and you run away." When he left, he said to us, "Everyone, you must get out alive." "I didn't see the end of a man, but I saw the greatness of a man. An ordinary person can also be a great person, not to mention me, a doctor who is often said to be "great", shouldn't I set an example and swear to protect everyone?
The deaths of two warriors made me discover my calling.
What day is today? Hehe, I've lost track of time.
The three of us were supposed to help each other, but instead of uniting, we became a mess.
Successfully finding a safe spot, we met a woman. Desperately trying to escape, everyone was exhausted, and with the fact that we hadn't eaten for a long time, one of us was dizzy. Women have a lot of food. I could tell at a glance that she had stolen it from somewhere.
The front belly is attached to the back, and we try to negotiate with the woman to get a little food to fill the stomach. The woman refused. Her mind was clearly out of her mind, and she kept wielding a sharp blade that made it difficult for us to get closer.
"What should I do?" asked a man who was supposed to be a family member of the patient.
"I, I don't know ...... either" seemed to be an intern and the doctor I hadn't seen before leaned against me. His dizziness was getting worse.
"I'll talk to her again. ”
The negotiation failed. The woman's mind may have gone completely insane. I can see that she doesn't just keep her food to satisfy her hunger, but also to feel safe. In the extreme cold, some people will guard a warm campfire and will not leave, I think this is the same reason.
Tired, hungry and sleepy, the three of us went to sleep.
I only heard the sound of rustling, and I woke up to see the young doctor feasting on the food heap. Confused about the woman's whereabouts, I was shocked to see the woman lying on the ground with a cut in her throat and no sign of life.
"Stinky boy, why don't you call me when you have something to eat?" the man rushed over to pick up the food, unpacked it and ate it, not caring at all about the woman lying next to him and staring at her.
"Doctor Du Ming, hurry up and eat. It's delicious......" The young doctor, whose face was splattered with blood, smiled and beckoned me over.
Coming back to my senses, I stood up. The devil's whisper came from his ears: "Go, eat, eat!"
I'm hungry, I'm really hungry, but ...... I can't eat food that I bought for a single piece of life.
"Whoa, whoa—"
As I closed my eyes and meditated, I heard the man's shout. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the woman who was supposed to be dead actually got up and hugged the man. The man crawled away from the woman in a panic, while the young doctor lifted his knife and pressed the woman's face to commit the unforgivable crime again.
"Stop, stop!" I cried out to stop the young doctor.
Suddenly, there was a roar outside the door. A "whoop" roar was followed by a "whoop" roar. Sensing that something was wrong, I was so frightened that I stepped back and ran into the bathroom when I saw that the bathroom door was unlocked.
"You guys, come on in!" I said to the two of them.
The young doctor didn't hear what I was saying and was still attacking the woman over and over again. The man heard what I said and ran towards me, but he fell to the ground as if he had choked on something, and he had difficulty breathing. At the same time, the door was slammed open, and I was so frightened that I immediately closed the bathroom door.
Outside, the screams of the young doctor rang out, heartbreaking. I covered my ears and sat down against the door, crying but not daring to make a sound.
What day is it? Probably my last day. With the help of the light in the bathroom, I wrote my notes and opened the door to welcome death.
The room was very quiet, there was no woman who had come back from the dead, no man lying on the ground, not even the miserable young doctor. I was the only one left in the empty room, except for the solidified red liquid, the messy bed sheets, the suspicious liquid, and the messy furnishings.
A "uh-a-ah" cry was heard, and a slow-moving monster appeared in the aisle. It didn't notice my presence and went straight ahead.
Closing the door to the ward, I walked over to the food pile. Many food packages are torn and the food inside is no longer edible. Picking out the bag that is not broken, I unpack it and eat it alone. Filling my stomach, I sat on the dirty floor and stared blankly at the red liquid, my brain going blank.
"I did it, I ate it, I ate it, I was a full ghost, and I lived it vigorously. ”
Taking off my lab coat and picking up the sharp blade on the ground, I walked out of the room door.
The door to the ward opened, and a man hurried into our safety point and immediately closed the door. When he turned to see me, his face was full of consternation: "Doctor Du Ming?"
Seeing the sharp blade in my hand, Zhang Jian became alert. Sensing the change in Zhang Jian's expression, I immediately threw away the blade in my hand.
"Zhang Jian......" The excitement overflowed in my heart, and I wanted to run over and hug him.
"Doctor Du Ming, you are safe. Different from my excitement, Zhang Jian said calmly, "I'm being chased by red-eyed zombies, let me avoid here." He walked over and picked up the blade from the ground, looked up at me, and wrapped it in a torn sheet and put it in his pocket.
"Red-eyed zombies?"
"Zombies are monsters that come back from the dead and bite people. Red-eyed zombies, they should be mutants of those monsters. Unlike the slow-moving zombies that only pounce on you and the fast-moving white-eyed zombies, the red-eyed zombies are both fast and powerful, and they can also climb on walls and ceilings, making them quite difficult zombies to deal with. ”
After Zhang Jian finished speaking, he saw the scattered food on the ground, picked a few bags and ate them.
"Zhang Jian, how are you doing?" Thinking about asking such an idiotic question, I asked Zhang Jian again: "Zhang Jian, what did you do after the accident?"
Thinking that this question was too abrupt to ask and I wanted to change the question again, Zhang Jian replied to me: "If something happened, I started to run for my life." On the way, I met my dad and ran with him towards the exit. You might think that he ordered the closure of the hospital exit, but sorry, he doesn't have so much power. When I had a rare opportunity, I asked him about the new drug. It was important that he was still hiding from the zombies, and he told me that the new drug was being developed in a pharmaceutical factory run by our distant relative, and that it was still in the experimental stage. Our distant relatives have connections in the relevant institutions, but it is still difficult to get the relevant institutions to certify the drug for pharmaceutical approval. happened to encounter the recurrence of Wang Liang's old disease and it was difficult to deal with it, so he used this drug to test the effect of Wang Liang in private and record the data. He knew the side effects of this drug, but he only knew the fact that there were limits to the repair of human cells with this drug. ”
Recalling Xia Li's appearance, anger welled up in his heart. I asked Zhang Jian, "Does Xia Li's condition have anything to do with this medicine?"
Zhang Jian put down the food bag and said, "According to my speculation, there is." Dr. Xia Li was coughed up blood by Wang Liang when he was performing emergency rescue on Wang Liang. At that time, Dr. Xia Li may have come into contact with the mutated cells in Wang Liang's blood. Since the new drug can bring Wang Liang back from the dead, it is natural that the cells in Wang Liang's body will mutate to a certain extent. It's just that at that time, we didn't think that the possibility of infection separated Dr. Xia Li from observation, which led to a series of things that happened later. ”
"The culprits that caused this series of horrific things to happen are not Wang Liang and Xia Li, but your father, Zhang Guofu and Vice President Zhang!" I shouted to Zhang Jian.
"Doctor Du Ming, calm down, and your voice is soft. The white-eyed zombies outside seem to have a stimulating response to sounds, and we can't shout. ”
Realizing my gaffe, I sat down on the floor.
"I can understand your anger. To tell the truth, it was my father's selfishness that led to the resurrection of the dead attacking the living, and the infection and death of the living attacking the living again. However, it doesn't help to complain about us and scold us now. Besides, you can't scold my dad anymore. ”
"Vice Dean Zhang, what happened to him?"
"Karma. I was separated from him for a while, and when I met him again, I saw that he was bitten by the carotid artery of Dr. Xia Li, who had turned into a zombie, and died. ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but shudder.
"But even if he dies, his karma won't be removed. He will be resurrected and then turned into a zombie. ”
"But," I asked Zhang Jian, "didn't you say that Xia Li was infected? Xia Li became a monster through Wang Liang's blood contracted this strange disease." In that case, is it blood-borne?"
"That's right, anyone who is bitten by a zombie will be infected and turned into a zombie. Not to mention that people who are bitten, even those who die violently in the hospital will become zombies. ”
I was shocked and asked Zhang Jian, "People who have not been bitten will also become zombies?"
"It's weird, isn't it? The virus of this disease appears to be transmitted not only by blood, but also by air and water. Perhaps, you and I have been infected with the virus of this disease and don't know it. However, I don't think as long as we don't die and are not bitten by zombies, we won't become monsters like them. ”
I began to think about Zhang Jian's words, and suddenly I thought of a question: "Zhang Jian, how do you know so much information?" You know, although I saw some things and learned some things during this period, I was running for my life with the survivors most of the time, and I didn't think about so many things.
"I can still know more information......" Zhang Jian was silent, as if thinking about something. Then, he said to me, "Doctor Du Ming, do you want to go to my secret base?"
