Chen Mu had never seen such a scene, and the entire city was almost empty. The endless street is obscured by fog, and every car that is barely visible disappears around the corner. The summer weather seemed to have no effect at this moment, and the sun could not penetrate the dust that hung over the city, making the city beneath it oppressive and frightening.

may be accustomed to being the guide of this city, Li Muyang can shuttle freely on the street with a line of sight of only one meter. Every intersection on the street seems to have become so accustomed to where it leads.

"How long do we have to get home?" Chen Mu covered her rumbling belly, and after eating breakfast in the morning, it was almost six o'clock in the evening, and she had not eaten. Li Muyang didn't seem to hear Chenmu's words, and while driving intently, he seemed to be thinking about something important in his mind.

As taxis gradually pull into the otherwise bustling pedestrian street, the roller shutters under the dazzling shop signs on both sides are closed. The pedestrian street is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, but has more bleak scenes.

"It's weird. Are these people hiding in their homes and not coming out? Li Muyang muttered to himself, so he had to park the car on the side of the road and said, "I thought there was a restaurant open here." ”

It's really a bit late to go back to cook at this point in time, looking at the closed shops around me, Chen Mu can't help but feel a little explosive. Looking at the dust that was still falling, a foul word popped out of his mouth.

"**, just a small factory exploded, how can there be so much dust, it has been a day since last night."

Li Muyang looked at Chen Mu, who was already hungry and crazy, so he had to drive away from the pedestrian street and drive in the direction of his home. Cars whizzing by from time to time on both sides, looking so hurried and panicked, I am afraid that I want to get home quickly. For the sake of safety, Li Muyang had to drive on the side of the road near the sidewalk at a uniform speed. From time to time, you will see a few people walking briskly with umbrellas, and you can also see some strange appearances covering their noses with clothes.

Chen Mu took this photo with his mobile phone and began to share it with his head down. Li Muyang saw that Chenmu's mood was improving, so he was more relieved to drive on the road at a constant speed. The taxi stopped at the intersection, and after carefully identifying the green light, it began to drive forward again, and the next second Chen Mu came to the middle of the road, he instantly felt an unprecedented sense of weightlessness. The violent impact made it too late for her to grab anything, and the seat belt that held her tightly on her chest stuck her tightly to the co-pilot. With the piercing friction sound stopped, Chen Mu opened her eyes slightly, only to see an unfamiliar face appear outside the already shattered car window, and she hurriedly made a phone call, but she couldn't hear any sound at all.

【Drip ......】

"The patient has heavy bleeding, and the corresponding blood type should be transferred from the blood bank as soon as possible."

【Drip ......】

The sound of his heart beating was so clear that Chen Mu couldn't feel any part of his body. The soft blood was draining at a rate she couldn't have imagined, and the noisy sound of throbbing kept coming into her ears.

【Drip ...... Drip ......】

"The surgery was a success......

"Doctor, there are a lot of citizens with unknown injuries outside, come and take a look."

……

……

When Chen Mu opened her eyes again, her eyes were snow-white, and the smell of disinfectant potion lingered on the tip of her nose, and she only felt a splitting headache. Looking at the liquid on the hanging bottle, which was about to bottom out, Chen Mu sat up and hurriedly pulled out the needle that was already returning blood. The sun outside the window warmly illuminated the earth, and a gust of hot wind blew in through the window screen, which made her feel a sense of reality at this time.

The white gauze in the wrap on the top of his head was slightly itchy at the moment he regained consciousness. It was probably a sign that the wound was reuniting, and she had to stop the hand that was about to scratch.

Chen Mu got out of bed and walked out of the ward. The messy hallway was filled with blood splattered all over the walls. Chen Mu continued to walk forward, there was no one in the wards on both sides, and from time to time in the deathly silence came the sound of something falling to the ground from a corner. Chen Mu looked behind him vigilantly, and saw a woman in a nurse's uniform standing in the elevator at the end of the corridor. The elevator was already hanging in the middle at an angle, and when I looked down, the elevator door was stuck by a pair of hands and could not be closed.

"You...... Hello. Chenmu walked forward tremblingly, and his shaky voice became extremely masculine, perhaps because he had not drunk water for too long.

The nurse in the elevator turned her head at the sound of the voice, and her face gradually shone under the flickering light. The face is like a dry leaf, and the fine lines carved into the flesh are particularly eye-catching. The dislocated jaw cracked, leaking out extremely sharp teeth and gums, completely exposed to Chenmu's eyes. The nurse slowly opened her eyes, her body still in place. With white eyes, he raised his hands and turned a 180-degree turn to aim at Chenmu.

The twisted limbs instantly frightened Chen Mu in place, and the nurse walked crookedly in her direction, slowly approaching Chen Mu who had been standing in place.

"Why did you wake up?"

Before Chen Mu could react, Li Muyang, who was holding her hand beside her, had a haggard face, and a cleaner's clothes were randomly stained with a lot of blackened liquid. Li Muyang hurriedly pulled Chen Mu out of the corridor and came to the stairwell of the escape passage, only to see that there were many people sitting on the ground eating. Li Muyang stopped and handed a bottle of water to Chen Mu, as if he didn't want to explain what she had just seen.

"These people have to survive on drugs, so they have to survive here."

"Survival?" Chen Mu couldn't imagine what kind of serious thing had happened, and the word survival had to be used.

"Your sister is awake, so get out of here as soon as possible." The uncle sitting next to him said, his eyes were full of haggardness, as if he hadn't slept well for several days.

"Let's leave first, I'll talk to you slowly on the way."

After speaking, Li Muyang took Chen Mu and ran downstairs. The fire doors on each floor were stuck in the middle with wooden planks, and some of them even let out back-chilling screams and low roars. Chen Mu looked at the reminder sign on the seventeenth floor, as a patient who is still recovering, even going down the stairs is an extremely physical exercise. Panting, Li Muyang let go of Chen Mu's hand and stopped in the stairwell.

"Do you remember when we had a car accident? The four-seater SUV crashed straight into your co-pilot's seat. It took a day for the doctor to rescue you before pulling you back from Lord Hades. But the day after the rescue, the hospital was suddenly overcrowded with many bitten people, and it was the first day after the smog disappeared. Due to the shortage of hospital beds, many people are inexplicably out of control in the corridor and start biting people when they see them. Then the entire city of Ai Yi became a completely empty city in one day. ”

Li Muyang's brief description has to remind Chen Mu of the biting incidents that happened in Andong City. Perhaps this was not a simple riot, but such an unknown disease spread so quickly that it gave no one room to react. During the three days of being in a coma, Li Muyang tried every means to find the medicine needed for Chenmu in the hospital.

"These infected people don't flip through obstacles, they just hit things that get in their way."

Speaking of which, Chen Mu gradually remembered that the first time he met such a person was on the night of the factory fire. The man who hit the windshield and knocked down the woman should have been the beginning of this contagion. However, there was no news about the man, and the government of Ai Ling City seemed to be hiding something.

"Where are we going now?"

"Do you remember that unsigned letter?"

After speaking, Chen Mu knew where Li Muyang wanted to go. The fall of Ai City was only a day, but the orphanage in the suburbs surrounded by mountains may be well protected at this time. Although Chen Mu didn't get too involved in this matter, he could know once that the orphanage's four high walls and huge iron gate were built to prevent outsiders from entering.

The two came to the first floor, and the moment Li Muyang opened the door, he picked up Chen Mu and ran to the door. Chen Mu turned his head, and the crowd behind him, who didn't have time to react, began to open their legs and chased in their direction. Men and women, including children, took part in this sudden hunt.

Looking closer, I saw that the crowd seemed to be oblivious to any obstacle in front of them, and they tripped over it before they tripped over it, and then they were trampled back and forth by the people behind them. The person lying on the ground felt no pain, his eyes burst out and rolled to the ground, the hard bones of his skull looked vulnerable under the trampling of everyone, and his brain continued to seep out as if he had turned on a faucet.

In a back and forth chase, the two made their way through the long corridor to the main entrance. Li Muyang hurriedly opened the roller shutter door and closed it the moment he came out. The iron gate was uneven and noisy under the impact of the crowd. Chen Mu was stunned by this scene, and it was too late to be afraid to follow Li Muyang's footsteps and get into the car.

"I picked up this car from the road, and the owner didn't seem to have time to pull out the key, so I drove it."

Before Chen Mu could ask, Li Muyang answered her words. She couldn't imagine what Ai Cheng City had become now, and looking at the lifeless hospital, I was afraid that the outside world would not be any better.
