Chapter 5: The Maniac
Zhang Tude had a long, long dream, in which a group of black-robed people broke into the hospital, and the crazy patients in the United Hospital killed the doctor and other patients, his perspective changed on the bodies of many strangers, some seemed to be hospital security personnel, holding pistols and shooting at a group of people in white robes and crazy patients, but finally the patient was knocked down due to the bullet running out, and after the death of the security personnel, Zhang Tude's perspective changed to the other side, he dreamed that he and a group of people in hospital gowns were desperately running upstairs, It wasn't until he came to the rooftop and jumped down with the others that he saw everyone else with smiles on their faces, and it seemed to be a smile of relief.
"Wake up, aliens have invaded, and the world needs you to save it." I don't know who shook Zhang Tude's body vigorously, and said loudly in his ear.
Zhang Tude's dream ended in an instant, he woke up, opened his eyes, and found himself lying on the hospital bed, he was still in the hospital ward, but although the decoration of the room was the same, he felt that this did not seem to be his original room, but before he thought about it, he heard a child's voice in his ears.
"Thirty, thirty-one, hee-hee-hee."
"Headhunter?" Hearing this voice, Zhang Tude immediately sat up in fright, but found that there were more than a dozen patients wearing the same hospital gown as him sitting on the floor of this room, which made the originally spacious room look very crowded, and the child's voice before was made by a little boy, he was sitting on the ground playing with a villain soldier toy, constantly counting the number of villain soldiers, laughing from time to time, and other patients were also doing their own thing, some were talking to themselves, and some were painting something on the wall.
"What's going on, doesn't the doctor care? , and I don't know these people, are they patients on other floors? Zhang Tude wondered, he was a patient on the fifth floor, and he knew all the patients on this floor, because every day the doctor allowed the patients on this floor to move freely outside the room and communicate with other patients, saying that it was conducive to their recovery, but they could only move on this floor, and they could not go to other places without the doctor's permission.
Zhang Tude cautiously got out of bed and walked towards the door, but fortunately, the patients were so absorbed in their own world that they didn't notice him, so he opened the door and walked out.
After going out, Zhang Tude glanced at the room number first, and this was indeed not his room, but the room next to him, 527, which was the room of Brother Wang, who was discharged from the hospital a few days ago.
"Is the madman who was killed on TV before really Brother Wang?" When he thought of Brother Wang, he remembered the scene he saw on TV before he fell into a coma.
"Let's ask the doctor first, but the other rooms are so quiet today, what about the nurses who are usually on duty?" Zhang Tude, who wanted to go to the doctor, found that the corridor on the fifth floor, where people usually walked, was empty, several windows had been smashed, glass shards had fallen and had been cleaned up, and the glass was still stained with blood.
Zhang Tude looked out the window, from here he saw the playground downstairs and the high wall of the hospital a little farther away, there were some sports equipment on the playground, usually some patients with mild illnesses would go there under the guidance of nurses, but now it was also empty, as if except for the room he had just come out of, the entire hospital had disappeared.
Suddenly, Zhang Tude heard a huge beast roar coming from outside the high walls of the hospital, I don't know if it was an illusion, he felt the whole floor shake a little, so that he almost fell.
Zhang Tude, who can make a sound, only has the impression of those mutant monsters outside the city, but although this hospital is in a very remote place, it is also in the heavily guarded Area A, how can there be mutant creatures?
"Don't look, young man, those monsters can't get into the hospital." At this time, a hand patted Zhang Tude's shoulder, and when he turned around, he found that it was an old man, wearing the same hospital gown as him, as if he was a patient in the room.
Seeing Zhang Tude looking at him, the old man pointed to a clock on the wall of the corridor and said
"It's almost four o'clock, and those crazy people are going to check again, so let's go back to the room first."
Zhang Tude looked at the clock and found that it was 3:50 p.m., and it was ten minutes before 4 o'clock, but why did he go back to his room? The madman is coming for a check-up, do you mean the doctor?
Seeing that the old man seemed to be able to communicate normally, Zhang Tude hurriedly asked
"Old man, do you know what's going on here? What about doctors and nurses? I just woke up and didn't know anything. ”
"Oh, so you're the one who has been lying in bed." The old man patted his head and continued
"You don't remember anything? But it's also true that when the lunatics sent you here yesterday, you were still bleeding from the head. ”
Listening to the old man's words, Zhang Tude felt a little pain in his head at this time, he originally thought it was the sequelae of waking up from the hallucination as usual, but now it feels more like a trauma.
"Listen, young man, this city is no longer human territory, about a week ago, the mutated creatures outside the city suddenly attacked the city like crazy, the army resisted for a few days, but in the end the whole city was lost, and the Fertile Soil Company and some of the citizens have been evacuated."
"Impossible, no matter how powerful those mutated creatures are, they are still beasts, how can they be the opponents of the human army?" After listening to the old man's words, Zhang Tude couldn't believe it.
"Then I don't know, anyway, that's what the person in charge of the fertile soil company said in the last news broadcast on TV, let the rest of the citizens persevere, they will come back with reinforcements, this hospital was also going to be transferred, but I don't know what, first some doctors and patients suddenly went crazy, killed people when they saw them, and also opened the door of the hospital, let a group of madmen in black robes enter the hospital, and now the whole hospital is occupied by madmen, doctors and nurses have been killed, Then we were all taken to the two wards on this floor, and I was a patient on the sixth floor. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Tude was a little surprised, because what the old man said was somewhat similar to the dream he had, but what the old man said was true or false, and it was a little strange for a mentally ill person to say that other people were crazy.
Seeing Zhang Tude's appearance, the old man seemed to see what he was thinking, and continued
"Although we are mentally ill, we don't harm others, we don't harm society, and there is an essential difference between us and those crazy people who kill people, okay, what do you want to know, I'll tell you later, go back to the ward first, if you let those crazy people see you in the corridor, your life will be gone." With that, the old man turned around and went back to the room, and Zhang Tude had no choice but to follow.
"By the way, you'd better pretend to be the way you were when you got sick and don't let those crazy people find out that you're awake, they take a person who looks normal every day, and those people come back like a fool, they can't communicate, they are completely helpless, and those people are locked up in the next room 526."
"526, isn't that my room?" Zhang Tude followed behind and answered, thinking
As soon as he returned to the room, the old man sat on the floor and smirked, and then said something to himself, Zhang Tude didn't know what he looked like when he fell into a hallucination, so he had to learn from other people, and scribbled on the wall with a paintbrush.
After a while, the door opened, and three men in white masks walked in, one of them wearing a doctor's lab coat, while the other two were wearing the same hospital gown as Zhang Tude and them, but both with electric batons in their hands.
"Who should be treated today? It's up to you, 009D, and you're seriously ill again. The white coat pointed to a patient in the room who was laughing all the time, and hit his body with something, the patient number on his bracelet was 009d, the white coat seemed to be very familiar with the patient, and he knew their number without looking at it, and after speaking, the two hospital gowns next to him stepped forward to take the patient away.
The patient struggled and cursed as if he had suddenly returned to normal
"I'm not crazy, you're crazy, let me go, old man, it's different from what you said, ahhhhh The sick man hit 009D with an electric baton, and 009D screamed and quieted down, allowing him to be pulled away by three madmen.
When the door was closed, the old man burst out laughing
"Hahaha, fool, I was tricked, and I took another one."
Seeing that Zhang Tude was looking at him, he said viciously
"You're lucky this time, and it's definitely your turn next time." After speaking, he danced happily, completely without the normal conversation with Zhang Tude before, jumping and jumping, a mahjong tile fell from the old man.
