Volume 1: The Eve of Doom Chapter 20: The Phantom of the Department

Two police cordons were barricaneously stopped at the entrance of the infectious disease area, and behind them was a gate bound by three iron chains, on which were affixed with four "skull" signs symbolizing death, and under the signs were two pieces of A4 paper, with the words "No entry is forbidden" in four large letters. The two walked around the building again, and found that the windows on the first floor of the building were all closed, some were nailed to the boards, and three of the four doors that could be entered and exited were closed, except for the west gate, which was hidden behind the medical waste treatment station, and there were still specks of blood on the ground.

"What do you want?" Looking at the large black plastic bags piled up like a hill in the processing station, as well as some blood-stained and torn disposable medical protective clothing that had not had time to be disposed of, a trace of coolness arose from the bottom of Wei Yilin's heart.

"Specimen storage room, district office, patient examination room." Listening to Bai Yunlian's tone, she didn't seem to be reluctant to enter this place. This hospital is the best infectious disease hospital in Huanzhou.

"It must be chaotic now, and if you want to get the most detailed information, it's best to look it all over."

"Guess how many infected people are in there?"

"A hundred? Thousand? ”

"Or they're all starving."

Wei Yilin smiled and shook his head, pressed the mask he had already put on, and slowly opened the trigger of the submachine gun with his right hand: "If it's too dangerous inside, what should we do?" ”

Bai Yunlian looked at him with a little surprise: "Didn't you say that saving your life is the best?" ”

Wei Yilin smiled meaninglessly, waved his hand, but said in his heart: But there are some things that can't be like this.

"Looks like we're going to go together."

Behind the west door is a dark corridor, on both sides of the corridor are closed doors, or hidden, or simply open departments, most of these departments are in disarray, in the middle of the corridor, there are two corpses, they fell on their backs to the sky, one of them pressed against the other, their bare skin covered with small wounds.

"Infected. But he was killed. The more Wei Yilin spoke, the more nervous he became, because he saw a line of fresh footprints that stretched all the way to the semi-polluted area. Who would go to the source of death at such a time?

"It's a human?" Bai Yunlian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"Silly girl, what else can you be if it's not a human?"

"I thought it was the kind of ...... in the movie Super Capable ...... What about the infected......"

"Sticked. The skulls were dented. Wei Yilin squatted down and pointed to the corpse of the infected person on the left, "The corpse has not been eaten. Not out of hunger. ”

"Follow me." Wei Yilin put away the butt of the submachine gun and walked gently towards the gate of the semi-polluted area along the center line of the corridor.

"Roar", "Roar", "Roar", "Roar", "Roar", "Roar", "Roar", "Roar", "Roar", "Roar", "Roar", Or is it reality?

Most of the doors of the wards are tightly closed, but through the one-way mirror embedded in the wall, you can still see the scene of seeping people in the ward—a sturdy infected person is grinning at himself in the mirror, his blood-red eyes are full of thirst for blood and tender flesh, the white walls of the ward, the expensive medical equipment, and the blue light-proof curtains are all stained with mottled blood and small pieces of flesh, and at the feet of the infected, there are four or five broken remains, some of which are as hideous as it. Some of them were full of fear, others had disbelief written on their faces, and even one of them even had a face depicted with adoration and longing.

Bai Yunlian turned on the tactical flashlight and carefully studied the medical records of the whole city of Huanzhou hanging in front of the door of the ward. According to the medical records, the able-bodied infected person in the hospital gown was named Wei Cunye, who was hospitalized for being bitten on October 17, and began to go crazy on the 22nd, and gradually lost control. The seal at the door of the ward was affixed on 27 October.

"Click", "click" Bai Yunlian took pictures of the medical records of the past five days, and in these five days, the doctor tried almost all methods, but none of them worked. Bai Yunlian checked several other wards and found that most of the patients in them had onset between two and five days, with the only exception of a 40-year-old man, whose medical records showed that his mutation took only five hours.

Exception! The word flashed in Bai Yunlian's mind, and a trace of excitement couldn't help but arise from the bottom of her heart, because as long as a special case is found, it often means that the key to healing has been found. But when Bai Yunlian looked hopefully at the one-way glass, she was disappointed to find only three decomposed corpses lying in the room, and black clouds were hovering over them.

"What's wrong?" Wei Yilin patted Bai Yunlian's back with concern, who was leaning against the wall at this time, his head pressed against his right arm against the wall, and his left hand covering his chest.

Hearing the inquiry, Bai Yunlian just waved her hand and shook her head. The sudden sound of "knock" and the slight sound of the door closing reached the ears of the two of them, and Wei Yilin immediately turned his ears, raised his gun, turned around, and aimed in one go. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the north side of the contaminated area, at the end of which was an open glass window, soft yellow curtains dancing wildly in the wind, and a heavy isolation door in the middle of the corridor separating the ward from the examination room and the treatment room, but the door was now blocked by an overturned trolley and could not close automatically.

Behind Wei Yilin, although Bai Yunlian was full of doubts, she also followed his example, raised her gun, and the two covered each other step by step towards the isolation door. "Whoosh" was in the department at the end of the corridor, and there seemed to be a black shadow flashing by, its speed was so fast that before the two of them could react, it disappeared.

"Did you see that?" Wei Yilin asked Bai Yunlian who was standing behind him in a low voice.

"There seems to be some ...... in the East"

Wei Yilin suddenly raised his hand, stopped Bai Yunlian's words, and then took two steps forward gently, raised the optical sight and carefully observed the corridor in front of him, there were two rows of blood marks in the corridor that looked no different from those footprints downstairs at first glance, these marks entered the departments on both sides of the corridor from time to time, and it seemed that the owner of the footprints was also searching for something.

The two of them walked into the upper part of the hallway, where the doors of the department were all open, the cold wind pouring in from the window kept tearing at the closed curtains, and the light intermittently hit a corpse leaning on a computer chair, which was still wearing a blue mask, a blue disposable protective hat, and its white coat was stained with blood. A bottomless black-brown lake has also formed under the computer chair.

"Roar" A strong infected person suddenly burst out of the department on the right hand side of the two people, this infected person is more than 1.8 meters tall, and his weight is estimated to be more than 70 kilograms, it has a noticeable lump on the left side of its face, and its right foot is lame, but this does not affect its unparalleled attack in the slightest. And the timing of its pounce was just right - Wei Yilin had his back to the door of the department, while Bai Yunlian just walked to the door of the department.

This infected person has a mouth inlaid with dozens of fangs and sharp teeth, which are like iron nails between the teeth are stuffed with flesh, I don't know how many "game" I have tasted, and what is even more terrifying is that its teeth are submerged in a large round saliva, which pulls out long silk threads, like tentacles, ready to "grasp" the delicious food they can touch.

Its speed was so fast that it flew from behind the test bench in the middle of the department to Bai Yunlian in an instant, although the latter had already subconsciously taken two steps back. But what's worse is that Bai Yunlian subconsciously turned around at the moment when the infected person roared—facing the door of the department, with her back to the wall. When she retreated, she hit the wall, and there was no way back. Although Bai Yunlian was also wearing a chemical protective suit, in front of the fangs of the infected, the chemical protective clothing also seemed to be a little thinner.

Suddenly, a strong arm wrapped in a white cloth crossed the infected's iron teeth and Bai Yunlian's neck, and with a "click", the white cloth wrinkled.

"Shoot!" Wei Yilin's eyes burst out, and he tried his best to lower his voice while "roaring".

"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"

"Die!"

The sturdy body of the infected person fell heavily to the ground with the inertia of the bullet and the strength of the foot, and there were three more blood holes in its chest and abdomen that were bleeding out.

"Are you alright?"

"Are you alright?" The two of them, who had taken a long breath, asked each other in unison.

"You're stupid!" Bai Yunlian couldn't wait to grab Wei Yilin's left arm, softened the folds of his left arm chemical protection suit, and took a closer look, fortunately, although the infected person's teeth were sharp, they were not crazy enough to bite through the chemical protection suit.

Wei Yilin was also confused for a while, and he couldn't understand why he would take such a big risk without hesitation. This kind of risk is no stranger to him, he took this risk in the rainforest of the Golden Triangle back then, and the object was Qin Tianwu, but Qin Tianwu was a robe and a life-changing brother. What about Bai Yunlian? Is it really just because of the robe that I treat her?

The sound of "roar", "roar", "roar" gunfire alarmed the infected in the isolation ward, and although they could not see the two of them, this did not prevent them from starving their thirst for fresh flesh and blood.

"Let's go." Wei Yilin seized this opportunity and led Bai Yunlian to the end of the corridor.

Behind the many treatment rooms, there is the most heavily protected specimen storage room, and there is an additional disinfection and dressing room behind the door of this department, and the door is also rarely equipped with a combination lock, but this lock has been destroyed, and the door is also blocked by a computer chair, and it can no longer perform its original duties.

Passing through the sterilization room, the specimen storage room was revealed, it was about 100 square meters, there were eight high shelves, the shelves were stacked with various test tubes, and at the end of the storage room, there was a glass compartment, and in the compartment there were several aluminum boxes stacked with seals, and what was written on the seal, but it was too far away to see clearly.

The door slammed shut with the spring, and the sound made them both startle slightly—the lesson didn't seem to make them more careful. But fortunately, it's not too late to make amends.

Wei Yilin stopped Bai Yunlian, who was about to turn on the flashlight, and signaled that it was not safe here. Bai Yunlian's face was embarrassed, and she felt a little like crying without tears in her heart - the light in the specimen storage room can only be described as dim, and it is difficult to see the words on those small bottles that are like spiders, sometimes like shrimp, and sometimes like aquatic plants under such conditions. In the end, Bai Yunlian decided to let go of the test tubes on the shelves for the time being, and searched the house first—even a three-foot search was more efficient than making out the handwriting in the dark.

Accidents often happen when you think you're prepared. Just as the two of them cautiously stepped over a row of shelves full of cardboard boxes, there was a sudden "dang" sound, which seemed to be the sound of bottles hitting the shelves as they rolled. The two of them looked their heads to the ground in unison, and were about to show a reproachful look at each other, but to their surprise, there was not a single debris within two steps of their feet!

Broken! A bad thought flashed in Wei Yilin's heart, turned around suddenly, pressed Bai Yunlian who was still stunned in place with his left arm, pushed it to the wall, and "exhaled" A short black and hard object fell in front of Wei Yilin, and the sound of air flow hit Wei Yilin's eyes through the goggles.

Wei Yilin raised his right foot and kicked it violently in the direction of the object, but he didn't expect to only kick the soft air. Wei Yilin turned his head around, and then he saw that it was a short stick that had attacked him, and the one holding this stick was a man of medium stature but a very strong man, who seemed to be wearing ordinary clothes, with a pair of thick eyebrows, and the rest were too dim to be recognized.

Without waiting for Wei Yilin to think more, the man swung the short stick and pounced again, and hit Wei Yilin's head with the first stick, but before the short stick was halfway through, it suddenly turned and hit Wei Yilin's chest, Wei Yilin hurriedly used a submachine gun, kicked his left leg by the way, and collided with the man's leg in the air, and both of them were hit back a few steps back by the other party's strength.

When the two were fighting in the aisle, Bai Yunlian was not idle, she suddenly raised the butt of the submachine gun and smashed the area against the back of the big eyebrows, but the reaction of the big eyebrows was really fast, I saw him suddenly turn to one side, and at the same time shouted, the left knee struck towards Bai Yunlian's fragile and defenseless abdomen, Bai Yunlian could only pull her left foot in a hurry, and protected her left knee in front of her abdomen as a buffer, "Dong" The huge force of the big eyebrows hit Bai Yunlian instantly lost her balance and fell backwards, and her left hand subconsciously grabbed it backwards," The closed curtain cloth on the side of the corridor was torn off by her, and the "dazzling" bright light pierced the eyes of the big eyebrows without warning, and he subconsciously reached out for a gear, and the clinker Wei Yilin took advantage of this gap and kicked him in the abdomen, his big eyebrows took two steps back, and his face showed pain.

"Click"

Big Eyebrows obviously gave up the idea of continuing to entangle with the two, and deceived Wei Yilin's body with a false stick, and ran away.

"Don't ...... Chased. ”

Wei Yilin was like an arrow, stopped the footsteps that were almost in the bathroom, and turned his head to see that Bai Yunlian was struggling to get up from the ground, and she couldn't bear the kick just now, she tried several times but failed. Until Wei Yilin's big and generous hand reached out in front of her.

"Thank you." After a brief hesitation, Bai Yunlian put her hand on it.

"Are your feet alright?"

Bai Yunlian shook her head, her lips moved slightly, and she seemed to say two words looking at the shape of her mouth.

Wei Yilin looked at Bai Yunlian's slightly arched legs, and his Adam's apple kept trembling, but the notes he made were all sealed in his throat.

"Do you want to continue...... Or go back? Wei Yilin was like a child, and he couldn't say anything.

Bai Yunlian was amused by his actions, and habitually wiped the hat of the chemical protective suit—the forehead covered by the hat was already covered with beads of sweat.

"Of course, continue to ......" I don't know if it's because of the pain or some other reason, when she said these four words, Bai Yunlian actually bit her tongue twice in a row.

"Okay, I'll go and guard the door. You have something to call me with a communicator. ”

After Wei Yilin left, Bai Yunlian turned on the flashlight, and the miserable white light illuminated the full or empty test tubes, and through the black handwriting on the test tubes, Bai Yunlian finally saw clearly what was in the test tubes. But until she pushed open the door of the glass cubicle, she couldn't find anything that satisfied her.

On the console in the middle of the glass compartment lay five locked aluminum boxes, each with a seal on it, dated November 4th.

There were still a few blood stains under the counter, which should have come from the body in a disposable medical gown that was stuck in the door of the glass compartment, the same body, there were six in the specimen storage room. On the back of the box, there is a label, and the name column of the label of the box reads: Wei Cunye.
