Chapter 27: Corpse Attack (Part II)
In the ordinary ward on the 20th floor of Building 3 of Yixiang People's Hospital, I angrily accused Xie Changge: "We are afraid that you will be lying dead in the ward, and you may not even have bones, but you say that we are cheeky and insist on coming? Is your conscience eaten by dogs?"
"It's your choice to follow or not, and I don't impose it. Now that we are in danger, you have put all the blame on me, Yi Jia and you are inevitably too much. Xie Changge glared at me and said.
"Little Red Guy ......" clenched his fist and swung out, and I was stopped by Chen Yaofei and failed to hit Xie Changge.
"Calm down, Yi Jiahe, calm down. If we get carried away by fear, we're doomed!"
Fear? Am I afraid? I am afraid. In fact, I have always known that when a person is terrified, he becomes crazy, he becomes selfish, he thinks the good people around him are heinous and bad, and he tries to destroy everything around him to bury his fear in the dark. Yes, I was scared, but I wasn't supposed to be someone who would keep his anger outbursting. Although there are countless difficulties and obstacles encountered in entering the society, I have also gained an understanding from it, that is, you are a treasure when you are others, and others are a root grass when you are a root. I've learned not to be pretentious, not to think too much of yourself. I began to restrain myself, even when I was extremely angry, and I would try my best to restrain my anger, so that I would only be seen by others as a coward who suddenly exploded and suddenly turned off. Valuing harmony is the principle of life that I have always wanted to implement, and Chen Yaofei is undoubtedly better than me. Then again, why am I getting more and more angry now?
"Well, if you really hate me that much, I'll get out of here and find another way out. Xie Changge stood up and walked towards the door of the ward.
"Classmate Xie Changge, don't, there are zombies outside, you must not go out. β
"Let's go, you go," don't go out, you will surely die if you go out, "we shouldn't stay with you, be deceived by you, be ignored by you, be disgusted by you again and again, be urged by you again and again to 'go away'." Let's go, you go!" How could I say such a thing?
Xie Changge stopped, turned around slightly and whispered expressionlessly, "I really hate you, because you are very similar to that person, but you are different people after all." I...... I've never hated you. After speaking, Xie Changge turned his head and walked forward.
I'm such a adult, eleven years ago, eleven years later, and now in another dimension. Why can't I keep him? I want to keep him, but why does this anger and resentment that has been entrenched in my heart linger for so long? "Xie Changge, don't go, stay", why can't I say such a simple sentence? Looking at Xie Changge's departing back, I suddenly felt so empty. Without the company of friends, without the company of friends, I spent the years alone in the long river of time, like a blank sheet of paper that has never been written.
"My loneliness, no one can understand. β
By the time I realized it, I had already said it. As soon as the clouds dissipated, the negative emotions in my heart gradually faded.
"Xie Changge, don't ......"
"Squeak-" The bedside table against the door of the ward moved with a screeching sound. Seeing the living body squeezed in through the crack in the door, Xie Changge involuntarily took a step back. "Squeak-" was a longer, screeching sound. The bedside table was pushed aside, the door to the ward was wide open, and the terrifying monster entered the room.
"I've never seen it...... Transform the corpse?" I could only spit out these words with my mind blank.
The visitor is about 1.8 meters tall, which is similar to my height. This modified corpse is not as big as the one that grabbed Ge Yingming, and the size of this modified corpse in front of us is more like an ordinary human in comparison. Its upper body was unclothed, and its body was covered with large and small scars and sutures. Its lower body wears a pair of sweatpants, and the pants are tattered. It is barefoot and unshoeed, just like the previous reformed corpse. If you want to say that the appearance of the modified corpse is the most terrifying, it is undoubtedly a face without facial features. But this modified corpse has ears, and its ears are indistinguishable from those of humans. Its head is tied with a black cloth strap that covers its eyes, nose, mouth, and hair - whether it has hair or not. At first glance, if I hadn't seen the unusual stitches on its body and its bloody hands, I would probably have thought of it as if it were a living person.
"Xie Changge, come here......" I took a step back and called Xie Changge softly.
Xie Changge stood motionless a few steps away from the transformed corpse, and the transformed corpse who opened the door and entered the ward stood at the door and looked at Xie Changge motionless.
Chen Yaofei clenched his stick, I knew what he wanted to do.
"Don't act rashly β don't come here. Xie Changge's tone was steady, without the slightest hint of fear.
"Ahh "Transform the corpse to speak. It was as if he was auditioning.
"Are you an enemy or a friend?" Xie Changge was actually asking such a strange question as transforming the corpse. If zombies are friends, do we need to run for our lives?
"Enemy ......" made me break out in a cold sweat when he reformed the corpse, "Friend......
Friend or foe? I'm really anxious for this unusual modified corpse. No, that's fine, it's better that it keeps struggling with this issue until we get away from it.
"Cluck, cluck......" came a familiar horror voice outside the door. A red-eyed zombie crawled into the ward from the wall outside the door, and then aimed at Xie Changge and pounced.
"Danger!"
Almost at the same time as my words fell, the transformed corpse grabbed the red-eyed zombie and failed to let the red-eyed zombie touch Xie Changge. Taken aback, Xie Changge sat on the ground and watched the red-eyed zombie waving his dry wood-like hand at him. Then, in full view of everyone, the reformed corpse lifted the red-eyed zombie and turned around, throwing the red-eyed zombie against the wall opposite the ward. "Bang", with a loud bang, a hole was smashed into the opposite wall. The poor rotting corpse that happened to walk by was tragically affected and became the meat pad of the red-eyed zombie. Like a beast sensing a beast that is more powerful than itself, the red-eyed zombie that crawled up fled into the wilderness.
Witnessing this scene, we have nothing to say. What else can we say? As for the strength, we can smash a hole in the opposite wall to transform the corpse, we use the stick used for self-defense and this trumpet wrench to fight with it? In terms of speed, it seems that it is a second, no, it is not 0.5 seconds, I saw the red-eyed zombie smashed against the wall, and the whole process is the result of my own imagination according to the direction of the modified corpse and the tragic appearance of the red-eyed zombie. Who loses and who wins? When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and we talk nonsense. I was able to bring up the courage to confront the walking dead on the other side, who probably didn't even know what emotions were, and then my story came to an end.
The transformed corpse turned back, without saying a word, without moving.
"Thank you, thank you......" Xie Changge, who was sitting on the ground, didn't dare to move, but thanked the other party.
The transformed corpse seemed to be looking at Xie Changge, and then it said, "Alive...... Survive...... Go, live. "Finally, I heard the Transformed Corpse express its expectations of Xie Changge in a clear sentence.
Forehead drop God, I'm afraid that my brain is wrong, and I actually heard the bloodless reformed corpse blessing the living?
However, what I hear is the truth, and what I see is the truth. After the reformed corpse finished speaking, he stopped speaking and turned to leave the ward.
Chen Yaofei, the first of the three to come back to his senses, immediately stepped forward to help Xie Changge up, and the first thing that came to my mind when I came back to my senses was to close the door and put it on the bedside table immediately. Thankfully, no other monsters re-entered the ward during this time.
Shortly after we closed the door, the red-eyed zombie returned. But instead of breaking down the door, it crawled around for a few seconds before disappearing.
Chen Yaofei helped Xie Changge to the hospital bed. I took care of the defense measures and came to Xie Changge's side. Xie Changge lowered his head and was silent. I don't know if Xie Changge is still in a trance, or if he is still angry because I scolded him. Just when I opened my mouth to apologize to him, Xie Changge spoke first: "I'm sorry. β
This is the first time I have heard Xie Changge say "I'm sorry" to me in so many years. I didn't see the joy that came from within after the opponent was frustratedβon the contrary, I became sad because of Xie Changge's "I'm sorry". How many years have I waited for Xie Changge's sincere "I'm sorry"? Obviously, it is the words I expected to get from Xie Changge, but what I want to hear now is not this sentence.
"What an apology? I'm also at fault. Recalling the feeling I felt when I accused Xie Changge just now, I said, "It's really weird. I'm angry with you, but I don't want you to leave, I want you to be with us, after all, you are an important part of our small group. However, it seems that someone has manipulated your emotions, and the words that hurt your heart blurted out. It's really strange......" After saying that, I saw Chen Yaofei and Xie Changge looking at me: Chen Yaofei smiled evilly, while Xie Changge showed loveless eyes.
"What the hell, what are you doing?"
"Yi Jiahe, you're blushing. Chen Yaofei said with a grin.
"Please, when you meet a modified corpse, everyone will be afraid. "Actually, I blushed because I felt embarrassed after listening to Xie Changge's apology and then saying what was in my heart. I'm an adult, how can I tell these two little kids such a thing. So, I used a very clever excuse to cover up the past.
"Speaking of the modified corpse, what happened to the transformed corpse just now?" I quickly changed the subject.
"I've seen it," Xie Changge lowered his head and said, "I've also met it when I was on this level." At that time, although it caught up with me as I fled, it did not attack me, and stood in front of me as it did today, as if it had something to say to me. Later, because I heard the voice of the white-eyed zombie, I fled from the reformed corpse to find a safe place, and then I went to the neurologist's office. Xie Changge raised his head to look at me, then looked at me and said to me, "Even in a panic, because there is a sign set up at the door of the office, I am sure that I am not mistaken. Fight off the red-eyed zombies, and you follow me to the neurologist's office. Truth be told, no one was more surprised than me to see the office disappear and become a ward. β
"It's because this damn sick house is constantly changing. I said.
"It must be. Xie Changge said.
"Then why doesn't it transfer us directly to the zombie pile?" the seemingly stupid Chen Yaofei was able to ask a question that I hadn't thought of yet.
"Probably, as in the case of only us being able to go to the surface space, there is something that traps us here that doesn't want us to die so easily. Xie Changge said.
"It's worse than just moving us to a pile of zombies. I complained.
"At least we can learn more about this ward, and maybe we can make it out of here. For the survivors in the wards who can't make it to the tablespace, our situation couldn't be better. β
After Xie Changge finished speaking, I thought of Chen Peihua and Ge Yingming. I asked the two people in front of me, "Do you think there are any survivors in this ward?"
"I don't know," Xie Changge replied to me, "but even if there are survivors, they are about to collapse if they have survived in the corpse area for so long." β
"Chen Peihua said that the death virus broke out in mid-August......"
Chen Peihua's spirit was abnormal, and she couldn't believe all her words. Moreover, the time change in the ward is beyond common sense, and today is probably August 31. β
I took out my phone, and the time displayed on the smartphone was August 31, as Xie Changge said.
"The dates don't change, but the safe time period keeps shrinking. The traveler is such a wayward god. β
After I finished speaking, I saw Chen Yaofei clasping his hands together and chanting, "God bless, God bless."
"I don't believe in gods anyway. Xie Changge said and got out of bed.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Xie Changge picked up the wrench and said to me, "If one reformed corpse enters, a second reformed corpse will inevitably come." Instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to take the initiative. We need to get to know what's going on outside as soon as possible and find a way to get back to my hospital room. β
Xie Changge took out the ward magnetic card in the bag, and then took it back. Thinking that this magnetic card was really big, I said to Xie Changge and Chen Yaofei: "You stay here, I'll go and investigate the situation first." β
"I'll go with you. Chen Yaofei grabbed the corner of my clothes.
"No," I looked at Chen Yaofei's arm, "although your arm is no longer bleeding, once you move significantly, the wound will inevitably crack again." β
"It's such a small wound, it's not deep, it's okay. Chen Yaofei revealed his trademark smirk.
"No, it just doesn't. "I took the stick head from Chen Yaofei's side and didn't go back to the door of the ward.
"Wait a minute, Yi Jiahe. Xie Changge stopped me.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Changge said, "Look at what time it is." β
"I saw it just now, it's almost eight o'clock in the evening. β
"I want to know the exact time. Xie Changge's tone was firm.
I took out my phone again to check the time, and replied to Xie Changge: "At 7:47, there are still three minutes left to reach 8 o'clock...... Ah, two minutes short. β
"Quick," Xie Changge pulled Chen Yaofei up and said to us, "It's almost time, let's go out together." β
"What time is it?Aren't we already in the inner space, do we have to enter another inner space?"
"As far as I know, every hour on the hour, the zombies in this ward will stop moving for thirty seconds. Although I don't know if this is the case for red-eyed zombies and black-eyed zombies, this is the case for both rotting corpses and white-eyed zombies. Excluding the uncertainties of the changes in the sick room, if we continue to stay here, it is inevitable that there will be more luck and less luck, so it is better to take this opportunity to fight. β
"Great!" Chen Yaofei, the happiest of the three, ran over and hugged me. I thought that he was a big boy who wanted to be coquettish to my uncle, but he snatched the stick from my hand and said to us, "I'll be a striker." β
Without waiting for me to agree, Chen Yaofei struggled to remove the bedside table with one hand. Helpless, I went to help him. The door to the ward opened, and two rotting corpses appeared before us, one of which was the unlucky guy who had just become a meat pad.
"Isn't this dead?" I said in disbelief when two rotting corpses turned to us.
Without waiting for the rotting corpse that screamed "uh-ah" to raise his arm, Chen Yaofei rushed out one kick and one stick after another, knocking them both away. Has this kid eaten something bad, how can it be like he has been beaten with chicken blood?
Xie Changge, who was holding a wrench, and I followed Chen Yaofei. Xie Changge's flame line against the white-eyed zombies had been extinguished before, and the white-eyed zombies were not there. We ran in the direction of the elevator, but there were no white-eyed zombies or red-eyed zombies along the road, only a few scattered rotting corpses blocking our way, all of which were repelled by Chen Yaofei.
Considering that after the elevator goes down and opens the door, we will encounter a large number of zombies and will not be able to escape, and the elevator stays on a different floor from our floor, waiting is too time-consuming, so we choose to take the stairs. Similarly, there were only two or three rotting corpses on the stairs, and there were no white or red eyes.
The staircase descending from the seventeenth floor to the fifteenth floor was dark. After a brief discussion, I lit the staircase with a lighter, but Chen Yaofei still insisted on being a pioneer. Luckily, there were no zombies on this dark stretch of staircase. Until we reached the fifteenth floor, we didn't encounter any aggressive zombies.
Xie Changge was right, at eight o'clock in the evening, the rotting corpses on the fifteenth floor really stopped moving. As a result, it was easier for us to reach our destination and enter Xie Changge's hospital room.
"It's weird," I joked as I gasped back in the safety of my room, "and I didn't meet any white-eyed, red-eyed, or black-eyed zombies all the way down...... Haha, isn't it Xie Changge's modified corpse friend...... Destroy them all. β
When I found Xie Changge looking out the window with melancholy eyes, I was ashamed of what I had said.
"I'm sorry, Xie Changge. I don't mean anything else......"
"Perhaps, you're right. Xie Changge said intently, "I have always had a feeling that the transformed corpse has ...... with me" After speaking, Xie Changge closed his eyes, and a crystal teardrop crossed his cheek.
