Chapter 30: The Quest (I)
It turns out that Xie Changge has such a sad past, if he wasn't in a life-threatening place, I'm afraid he would never hear Xie Changge's heart in this life. I have no siblings and am the only seedling in the family. When I was twenty-eight years old, my parents rebuked me for not being able to carry on the lineage for them, and ordered me to move out of the house and live separately from them. According to them, I will never survive outside with nothing. I can't say whether my parents and I can live alone outside. Prices are rising every year, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are extremely expensive. With the savings I have, I can survive for a year or two, but after that, I can't pack a ticket for myself. My parents didn't want me to live with them, mostly because I didn't have a job or a daughter-in-law. If I had a job, a daughter-in-law, and a child, it would have been very different. However, it is against my free will, against my own career preferences, and against my emotional nature. I'm an only child, and I can't understand what it's like to have a brother. Even though I have many cousins and cousins, I think it's different from being born to a mother.
Xie Changge looked out the window, and tears slipped down his handsome cheeks. Looking at his appearance, my heart was sad.
"What are you doing?" Xie Changge asked me with a frown.
"Comfort you. β
"Comfort me, comfort me, why do you open your hands?"
"I opened my hands to hold you and comfort you. β
Xie Changge narrowed his eyes into a slit, leaned his body slightly away from me and said to me: "Perverted uncle, I thought you only liked to hug machines, but I didn't expect you to love to hug men." β
It was like a knife "clicking" into my heart, and I was stunned for a while before I came back to my senses, and said to him coldly like Xie Changge: "Didn't you say that I was like your brother, then I will do my brother's responsibility and hug and comfort my brother when he is sad." β
"I'm not sad. Xie Changge raised his right hand to wipe away his tears. This little red guy is obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open.
I sat next to Xie Changge, put my arms around Xie Changge's body and said to him, "Actually, it's okay for you to treat me as a brother." Although we are not related by blood, we don't have to be related by blood to be a family, do we?"
Xie Changge shook off my right hand, stood up and said to me, "You can never be Xie Tianwen. You are you, he is him. You can never be my brother. β
"Don't talk so desperately," Xie Changge's words made me want to tease his interest, "We are all in this walking corpse ward, maybe you will die when you leave the ward." As a classmate, I am a mud bodhisattva who crosses the river and cannot protect myself, but as your eldest brother, I can save you from danger, and I will not give up. β
Xie Changge narrowed his eyes and looked at me with disdain, and replied to me: "You still want to save me from fire and water? β
At this time, Chen Yaofei was lying on the sofa in the ward in a doggy posture. There was only one bed sheet in the VIP ward, and Xie Changge donated it to Chen Yaofei without hesitation. Chen Yaofei, who was covered with a sheet, drooled and looked happy. I really took this bastard, and I could still sleep so comfortably in such a sinister ward?
"Yi Jia and ......" didn't expect Chen Yaofei to also have the habit of talking in his dreams. I don't know what kind of dream he's having, but since he's dreaming of me, maybe he's dreaming of me saving him in a time loop.
"Yi Jia and ......"
"No thanks. β
"Give me some money......"
"Huh?" I was stunned.
"I'm hungry......" Chen Yaofei's saliva flowed to the ground, and I had a headache when I saw it.
I turned to Xie Changge and pointed at Chen Yaofei and said to him, "This bastard boy is better than me? After speaking, I stood up and took out a pack of napkins from the pile of items, took out one and walked to Chen Yaofei's side to help him wipe his saliva.
"Give me back the chocolate pie!"
"Scaredβ"
Chen Yaofei just screamed and didn't wake up. I made a false alarm, thinking about how the person who speaks in his dreams can speak clearly without being conscious.
Walking away from Chen Yaofei and returning to Xie Changge's side, I said to Xie Changge: "Look, just his stupidity, he is better than me? β
"Don't call me little brother, perverted uncle. "A second knife pierced my red heart.
"You, can you stop calling me a perverted uncle?" I clutched my chest and pretended to be uncomfortable.
Xie Changge was facing me, showing an evil smile and saying: "Perverted uncle, perverted uncle, perverted uncle." β
Lost 10,000 drops of blood in an instant.
"I, Yi Jiahe, have been heroic and invincible all my life, and I have gone through hardships to increase the HP limit, but I never expected Xie Changge's boss's ATK to be so high. Remorse, late ......"
"It's a show. If you want to die, don't procrastinate. Xie Changge put away his smile and said ruthlessly.
"I still have a drop of blood. I stood up straight and proclaimed.
Xie Changge opened his mouth, I immediately covered it, and said to him with a sad face: "My brother, don't say it, please." β
Xie Changge didn't let go of my hand, so I naturally put down my hand. He sat back on the hospital bed without a sound, looked at Chen Yaofei and seemed to say to me, "Chen Yaofei, it's really amazing." β
"That idiot?"
"He's not stupid. He was braver than both of us and better than both of us. β
Thinking back to the zombie attack that happened not long ago, I saw the picture of Chen Yaofei desperately fighting a duel with the red-eyed zombie and sacrificing himself to push me away, and I was almost caught and eaten in the darkness by the black-eyed zombie.
"He's a fool and he's a brave man. β
Xie Changge and I looked at Chen Yaofei together, silently guarding the teenager who led us back to safety.
"Knock knock knock ......" The announcement sounded in the hospital.
"What's going on?" I asked Xie Changge.
"I don't know," Xie Changge quickly got up to fetch the clock, and then muttered to himself, "The time is not right......
"What?"
"Dear patients, friends and their families, a new day has begun!" The familiar sound of music resounded through the ward after the familiar radio prompt.
"It's not time yet, is it?" I asked Xie Changge anxiously.
"The timing was wrong. Xie Changge looked at the clock and replied to me.
Hearing the loud music, Chen Yaofei sat up from the sofa, stretched and yawned and said to himself: "I'm hungry......"
The music stopped abruptly, and it was pitch black.
"I said I was hungry, not too bright. Chen Yaofei said.
"Stupid, it's darkness coming. I said.
"Hey, are we going to enter the inner space again?" Chen Yaofei asked.
"We'll probably go back to the tablespace. Xie Changge replied.
After making sure they were both with me, I waited for the lights to come on. Thinking about the fact that the three of us were moved out of the safe zone, I was ready to reconfirm the situation of the two of us. Before I could speak, the lights were turned on, and Xie Changge and Chen Yaofei were in the ward.
"Great, you're safe. β
"If you're okay, I'll be fine. "Chen Yaofei's mouth is as sweet as honey.
Xie Changge didn't speak, he lowered his head and looked at the clock on his right hand, as if he was enchanted.
"Changge, what's wrong?"
Before darkness fell, Xie Changge said, "Time is wrong", right? I subconsciously took out the mobile phone in my pocket and found that the time display on the mobile phone was gone.
"Wouldn't it? This, how is this possible?" I felt more and more that this ward was really alive.
"Here, nothing is impossible. Xie Changge raised the clock in his hand, and there was no time display on it, "Before darkness fell, the time displayed on the clock was fourteen o'clock, that is, two o'clock in the afternoon. We didn't sleep, and time was missing. As a result, my assumption that survivors spend less time in the ward while they sleep is wrong. Perhaps, the very existence that traps us here is just playing us like toys. β
"The change in the ward was unexpected by us, and who knows what will happen if this continues. I said to the two of them.
"So, what are we going to do next?" Seeing that I was anxious but calm, Chen Yaofei took a large handful of food from the pile of items to the sofa, unpacked it and ate it.
I looked at Xie Changge, he was closing his eyes and thinking.
"Now that we're in the safe zone, we have to race against the clock because of the irregular changes in the sick room. First of all, we try to increase the number of items in stock as much as possible, including food, daily necessities and emergency equipment. Secondly, we have to place anti-zombie equipment in rooms that can be opened, or in aisles, etc. In this way, even if we are in danger when darkness falls, we can get the protective equipment in time and fight to the death. Then, I think the most important thing is to find a way to find the Du Ming note in the neurologist's office. You may not be able to understand it, but I have dabbled in it, and I know that Du Ming's notes contain a lot of important information that cannot be obtained in this ward. Time is running out, and I always believe that Du Ming's notes will provide us with clues to escape from this death ward. β
I have long known that Xie Changge is a smart person, although he was a little proud when he was a child, but now Xie Changge can calmly analyze the current situation and sort out the action ideas for us. Speaking of composure, to a certain extent, Chen Yaofei makes people feel that they are more than enough. Just ask, even if it is Xie Changge, I can feel his anxiety from his words, but Chen Yaofei eats unhurriedly, as if he is not in the same walking corpse hall as us, but watching a 3D zombie movie in the cinema wearing 3D glasses.
"A fool is a fool. My stomach growled, and I walked over to the food pile and pulled out a bag of bread and whispered.
According to Xie Changge's established plan, we hurriedly took action. Since Xie Changge had difficulty moving and Chen Yaofei injured his arm, I was worried that they would not be able to take the initiative to get out in a crisis, so I asked myself to go to the lower 10th floor to collect supplies by myself, while Chen Yaofei looked for wards that could be opened on the upper and lower 5th floors of the 15th floor to place precautionary tools.
"You go to the twentieth floor first, and maybe find our lost tools in the safe ward where we stayed. Xie Changge wants us to verify his conjecture that "touching things in the surface space can bring them into different spaces".
"Got it. Yaofei, you and Xie Changge stay in the ward, I'll go take a look and come back. β
"I'll go with you. β
"No, I'll be enough alone. β
"I'll go with you. "The bastard leaned over and grabbed my hand, and asked me to take him with him.
"Okay, okay, don't do that. Boys should look like boys, don't squirm like girls. "At the age of twenty-eight, I was still being judged by my relatives like this, so when I said this, I realized that I was not qualified to accuse Chen Yaofei with the same words.
"Oh," Chen Yaofei said to me in a serious voice, "I'm going with you." β
"You...... Be yourself. "The serious Chen Yaofei is like Xie Changge with an expressionless face - what I am talking about is that their temperament is similar, and their appearance is naturally Xie Changge outstanding. But what's the use of good looks, we can't always rely on good looks to repel zombies, and good looks don't mean much to the dead.
Like Xie Changge last time, I easily got the master key in the drawer of the nurse's station. I tried to open the VIP rooms on the 20th floor, and the doors opened with a "tick". Finding our lost briefcase, large school bag, and scattered supplies, we observed the changes on the floor as we placed the anti-corpse tools. On the way, we still didn't see a sign of the neurologist's office.
"Yi Jiahe, you say, will that neurosurgeon's office down there also disappear?"
"What?" I suspect I misheard.
"Neurosurgeon's office. Chen Yaofei replied to me.
"There's also a neurology ward here?"
"It's neurosurgery. The nineteenth floor of Building 3 of Yixiang People's Hospital is the neurosurgery ward, which houses the office of the hospital's neurosurgeon. You don't know?"
"Of course I do. "I'm not impressed.
Under Chen Yaofei's reminder, we came to the nineteenth floor together. As Chen Yaofei said, this is indeed a neurosurgery ward, and below the location of the neurologist's office mentioned by Xie Changge is the neurosurgeon's office. Unfortunately, the door was closed and we couldn't enter.
"Forget it. We went as planned, and I went to the commissary to collect the items. I said to Chen Yaofei.
"I'll go with you. β
"No," I said this time that I wouldn't take Chen Yaofei with me," Xie Changge said, the ward is changing, and there is less and less time for safety. We need to hurry. I dropped the sentence "After your task is completed, you hurry back to Xie Changge's ward on the fifteenth floor" and left the nineteenth floor without looking back, and took the elevator to the first floor.
"Knock knock...... Now it's ...... Boom Boom ...... Fifteen o'clock sharp...... Woohoo ......"
After listening to the broadcast on the radio, I was stunned and wanted to ask Chen Yaofei to remember that I had just separated from him.
"Time flies so fast. I'm going to speed things up. "I told myself that I took the time to put the contents of the commissary in my bag.
The things in the table space store have been reset, and even the bags we took last time have been replaced. I guess it's a new bag and not the one we took, because the strap of this bag that I accidentally ripped is still intact, and there are no tools in the bag that we have fit.
"Shouldn't there be here, the bag and tools in Chen Yaofei's hand are gone, right?" After thinking for a while, I patted my head and said to myself: "It's really stupid, didn't he and I see the bag in the ward together." "I'm sure things in the ward do reset, at least in the tablespace.
"Knock knock...... It's sixteen o'clock...... Woohoo ......"
"I'll go to your ward!" It's not that I like to be rude, this ward is too much. Change is change, why do you have to shorten the time?
I started collecting supplies twice as fast as I could, and I hurried back to the elevator with large bags and small bags. However, the elevator malfunctioned. Instead, he ran to the staircase, and the door locked. Angry, I kicked a few times, and when I saw that the door was not open at all, I put down my bag and took out the hammer from the commissary, and knocked on the door of the staircase. Eventually, I gave up.
"Die before leaving the school, and the hero will be full of tears. Could it be that I, Yi Jiahe, really can't get over this hurdle?"
Walking down the hallway on the first floor, I hung my head and opened the door of my room, and it was opened. Walking into the room with my eyes wide open, I looked into the room. After a glance, I saw that this place seemed to be-
"The neurologist's office?"
I looked down at the report document with the name "Du Ming" written on it, and immediately rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find Du Ming's notes. I searched for more than ten minutes in the neurologist's office, but I couldn't find Du Ming's handwriting described by Xie Changge.
"What the hell is going on? The office is on the first floor, and the notes are gone?"
"Knock knock...... It's seventeen o'clock sharp. It's lights-out time soon, so be prepared. β
"Thanks for the reminder - bastard, let me go!"
"Save ...... Save...... I ...... "Someone is calling for help." Familiar words, could it be-
I opened the door to my room, and a human head appeared in front of me.
"Ah...... Save...... Aha...... "The voice, although it has changed a little, is this not the voice of the woman on the radio?"
"Why," she said suddenly, clearly, "why did you do such an excessive thing to me!"
Looking at the operating table next to me, I was sick to my stomach by the sight of a crippled woman.
"Die, die, die!" the head cried, and darkness descended instantly. Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Don't Forget the Blessing and Misfortune of the Past Book House" for free for the first time.
