Chapter XVII: The Siege
"Tell me, why?"
A tall man leaned on the window and looked out at the traumatized scene, watched as the other young man did not speak, and continued.
"It's safe to stay here, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, no one bothering us, and we have nothing to lose."
The young man came over and leaned on the window with the man looking at the clear blue sky, and after a moment of hesitation, the young man spoke.
"Dr. Chen, not everyone survives like this, I still have unfinished business......
Liu Weifeng's voice was interrupted by Dr. Chen.
"Is it for your family? You have to know that you're alive now, it's safe to stay here, and if you want to get out like that, I can't guarantee your safety. Dr. Chan said.
"Enough! I'm sure I'll find them. Liu Weifeng retorted.
"What to find? Corpses? Liu Weifeng believes me, this is a good place to live, and it will not be occupied by any invaders, so stay here. Dr. Chen turned back to Liu Weifeng and said.
"Don't you have a family? What's the point of you staying here? The whole hospital is surrounded by zombies, how to live? Liu Weifeng walked away without looking back.
Dr. Chen was hesitant by what Liu Weifeng said, and stayed where he was.
"Hey, Weifeng, Liu Weifeng!" Dr. Chen called out to Liu Weifeng.
Liu Weifeng stopped where he was, tilting his head to look at Dr. Chen.
"I know I can't stop you, but if one day you really want to leave here, then you must get away from the city and go to a place where no one knows about it."
After Dr. Chen finished speaking, Liu Weifeng walked back to the room.
Right now.
Liu Weifeng covered Dr. Chen's wound with his hand, and after a while, Liu Weifeng's hands were already dyed red, and Liu Weifeng kept wrapping the bandage around Dr. Chen's shoulder, but it was still irreversible.
"It's useless, you can go quickly, it's not safe here." Dr. Chen's eyes were already moistened, and he knew that he would soon become them, and he couldn't drag Liu Weifeng down like this.
"Stop talking, I'll get you out of here."
Then Liu Weifeng helped Dr. Chen out of the exit corridor, the gunfire attracted more zombies, and the zombies downstairs heard the sound and began to pour up, Liu Weifeng helped Dr. Chen to a room, which was like an office, leaning on the chair of Dr. Chen, and then Liu Weifeng looked out of the door, the surroundings were safe, and there were no zombies coming yet, and then closed the door.
"I don't have time, you should find a chance to leave." Dr. Chan said.
"No, I won't leave you, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been bitten by zombies, it's all my fault, I didn't dispose of the zombies before, and you ended up being ......like this," Liu Weifeng said with deep self-reproach.
"No, it's not your fault, remember never to blame yourself, if I hadn't done that then, my wife and children would have survived now, it's all because of me." Dr. Chen patted Liu Weifeng on the shoulder and said.
"Dr. Chen, what are you talking about?" Liu Weifeng looked at Dr. Chen with a puzzled expression.
"I killed them, and if it weren't for the fact that I locked them up, maybe they would still be alive now."
Time goes back to the hospital at the time of the cataclysm.
The sky began to rain lightly, and tiny raindrops were falling on everyone's hair.
The crowds and rebellions of all kinds were no longer able to accommodate the streets. The SWAT lined up with shields to intercept the intruder crowd, but the virus on the street had begun to break out, and people who sensed the danger had begun to flee in all directions, and after a while, a tragic disaster occurred on the street, and the police tried their best to block it, but it didn't seem to play a key role, the crowd that turned into zombies began to bite the people around them, and in half a minute, the streets were already full of corpses, and some SWAT officers felt that something was wrong, and then shot into the sky, but it didn't seem to attract the attention of the crowd, A zombie directly ignored the crowd and bit at the SWAT, and several people felt that their lives were in danger, and then shot at several infected people, the bullet passed through the body of the infected, but did not stop the infected.
Dr. Chen's wife left the hospital with her daughter in her arms, and Dr. Chen and his wife opened the hospital gate and walked in, and then several SWAT officers stayed behind and closed the door.
At this moment, Dr. Chen saw a young man in the distance who was hit by a car and flew out, out of instinctive reaction, Dr. Chen rushed out, a special police officer next to him did not stop Dr. Chen, and could only continue to take time to drag the infected, the bullets rained down on the infected person, and there were bullet holes everywhere in his legs, body, and arms, Dr. Chen quickly came to Liu Weifeng's side, helped Liu Weifeng's shoulders and left the road, stumbling back, several infected people saw the two coming, and immediately pounced, Thankfully, SWAT officers pushed the infected back and allowed the two to enter the gate safely.
The few SWAT officers who stayed behind were unable to escape the lives of the infected, and then there were screams.
As soon as the gate closed, a horde of zombies pounced on them and lay on the glass door. The glass door was instantly stained with blood by the zombies, the zombies slapped the glass frantically, and the dozens of people who hid in the hospital looked at the zombies pouring in outside the door, and the streets were already gnawed.
But a large door could not withstand countless infected people, and then cracks appeared on the glass door, and acquaintances told everyone to quickly retreat. At this moment, some people said that this was tempered glass, which should be able to withstand the attack of the infected, but as soon as the words fell, the glass gate was directly shattered, and a large number of infected people poured up.
At this moment, everyone began to climb the stairs, and the crowded narrow passage could not catch their breath at all, and the stupid people were waiting for the elevator, but they did not expect that the slow elevator would go down one by one, and it would directly become food for the infected.
Many people ran up quickly, passing by the patient's ward, a few patients hung drips in the corridor, and they were very confused to see such a scene and stay in place, but no one would remind a few patients that for the safety of their lives, they had no time to speak.
The hurried crowd dispersed in all directions, followed by the crowded infected people, several patients were frightened when they saw the crowd covered in blood, and within half a second, the corpses directly engulfed several patients, and some people close to the ward saw this scene and were so frightened that they closed the door directly.
Dr. Chen's wife carried her daughter to the fifth floor, and then the two went to an empty ward and lowered her down.
After a while, Dr. Chen dragged Liu Weifeng to the fifth floor, and Dr. Chen temporarily put Liu Weifeng down and leaned against the corner.
"You stay here with Mom, I'll be back later, obedient." Dr. Chan said as he squatted down and stroked his daughter's hair.
"Remember that if a stranger knocks on the door, don't open the door, it's dangerous outside." Dr. Chan said. Later, Dr. Chen told his wife that Liu Weifeng had lost too much blood and had to go to the emergency room.
Dr. Chan's daughter looked a little overwhelmed, her eyes full of panic. "Stay safe, we're waiting for you." Dr. Chan's wife instructed Dr. Chan.
Before leaving, Dr. Chen gave his wife a scalpel for self-defense, and then Dr. Chen walked out of the room, and continued to walk towards the emergency room with the seriously injured Liu Weifeng, and came to a ward on the sixth floor where there were some medical staff, and then put Liu Weifeng on the bed and handed it to several medical staff.
The fourth floor did not seem to have been invaded by the infected, so Dr. Chen immediately called on the family members of some patients in the ward to come to the conference room on the sixth floor to block the corridor on the floor with benches and some tables.
The situation was urgent, and Dr. Chen and the others could only temporarily block the staircase corridor leading to the fifth floor with sundries, and the people who saw the emergency were obviously frightened and returned to the rooms they cared for.
Dr. Chen and his wife and daughter were separated, and Dr. Chen could only stay on the sixth floor temporarily, and the situation in front of him could only pray for the safety of his wife and daughter.
The hospital radio made an urgent news, and the people in the hospital were dumbfounded, unable to believe it was true. At this moment, there was a noise in one of the wards outside, and Dr. Chan walked out of the room and looked at the patient in the other room, who turned out to be a patient who had died of a heart attack, and the family was lying on the side of the bed and crying bitterly. But after a while, the patient's eyes opened, and a low roar came from his mouth, and Dr. Chen was a little surprised to see this, as did the family members.
But the patient's eyes are pale, and the skin is shriveled and weak, no different from death. Seeing the patient wake up, the family thought it was a medical miracle, the patient didn't know what to mutter, the family leaned over, but they didn't expect the patient to make a roaring sound and bite the family's neck, a large piece of skin was ripped off, and blood spurted out.
The family members screamed and covered the erupting wounds with their hands, and several people next to them were so frightened that they fled in panic and ran out to the door.
Dr. Chen looked at the scene in front of him and took a few steps back, but then the whole floor also let out a screaming sound, and after a while, nearly two dozen people ran out of each room, and those who had never seen such a scene were frightened and fled in panic, and the scene became directly out of control, and some people ran towards the elevator and pressed the button of the elevator door.
Dr. Chan tried to intercept him, but the panicked people did not listen to Dr. Chan and thought about how to escape.
There are two elevators divided into east and west, and the elevator that opens on the other side is considered safe, and no infected people are brought up, and a few people who don't know about it take the elevator down, and the result can be imagined, and the face is greeted by countless infected people. On the other side, it was not so simple, the number of elevators slowly changed from one to six, and when the elevator door opened, several infected people came from inside, and before the crowd could react, they had already been pounced by the infected, followed by terrifying screams.
Several infected individuals stepped out of the elevator and began to bite at the crowd. Seeing this, Dr. Chan immediately ran back to his room and told the others to close the door.
Just as he was closing the door, he was suddenly blocked by a hand, and in came a half-blooded guard with a firearm in his hand. Seeing that it was a living person, Dr. Chen quickly opened the door of the room and let the guard in.
Came to a ward, there were three people inside, it should be the patient's family members, a man and a woman, there was a man lying on the bed, several people were frightened by the panic situation outside, everyone did not dare to go out at all, all stayed in the room and trembled, several people did not understand the current situation, the room seemed dull, no one spoke, only the sound of rapid breathing, the patient on the bed was frightened to sit on the bed, for fear that something terrible would happen, several people looked at each other, there was nothing to talk about.
Soon the screaming outside gradually stopped, Dr. Chen leaned his ear on the door to listen to the sound outside, seeing that there was no sound, Dr. Chen wanted to go out to see what was going on, and carefully opened the door, the door made a "creak" sound, and soon the door was opened a gap, Dr. Chen poked out half of his head and looked around, only to see several infected people wandering in the corridor, and some infected people gnawing on the ground to eat the leftover food, when he turned around, he saw an infected person sweeping towards Dr. Chen's side, Dr. Chan quickly closed the door to his room.
The guard leaned against the door, holding the rifle in his hand, covering Dr. Chen, and when he saw Dr. Chen poking his head back again, he asked worriedly.
"How's it going out there?"
Dr. Chen sat on the ground and looked up at the guard, the blood stains on his body, half of his face were covered in blood, he must have experienced something terrible outside just now.
"There are infected people everywhere outside, and we're completely trapped here."
"Infected? What the hell? What disease do they have? I was biting people everywhere outside, and it was useless for me to shoot them with a gun. The guard asked, confused.
"I don't quite understand either, it's like some kind of terrible virus, and I've seen patients get sick these days, it's terrible." Dr. Chan said.
"I can't hurt a bullet, so what do we do now?" The guard said.
Dr. Chen held his cheeks and didn't know what to say, looking at the shocked face in the room, he couldn't face such a thing, I am afraid that this virus outbreak is far more terrible than imagined.
"I don't know, let's hide here for a while, and then think of other ways." Dr. Chan stood up and said.
Although he is a doctor, he is powerless in the face of an unknown virus, so he can only report to his superiors, and he can only wait for his superiors to control the virus this time, and he doesn't know if he can develop a vaccine, and if so, when? Half-moon? A year? Three years? Or further?
Dr. Chan went to the bathroom to wash his face, looked at himself in the mirror, and immediately remembered what had happened.
Dr. Chan inserted a tube into the man's lung for further examination. A man is lying on the operating table, surrounded by doctors wearing masks, the man is wearing an oxygen mask in his mouth, and his heart rate is very low, and after a while, the heartbeat fluctuation line is maintained in a straight line. Several people saw that the patient was on the verge of death, and finally did defibrillation surgery, as the electric rate rose, a doctor hit the patient's chest with a defibrillator, again and again, but it did not have much effect, a few minutes passed, the ECG completely turned into a straight line, several doctors looked down at the patient in disappointment, and just walked away.
But after a while, the patient suddenly got up manually, and then his hands and feet and body moved, and several medical staff thought that the patient had a miracle, but to the surprise of several people, the electrocardiogram still showed a straight line, which made several doctors first puzzled and then thought about it very frightened. Seeing the patient's activity getting bigger and bigger, several doctors were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated, and in a few seconds, the patient twitched wildly, making a roaring sound, and the blood in his mouth sprayed on the oxygen mask, and the doctors present screamed, not daring to approach the patient.
But only after more than ten seconds, the patient quieted down, the operating table was full of gushing blood, blood dripping from the operating table to the ground, a female nurse walked over with guts, looking at the motionless patient, the nurse lay on the patient's mouth to listen to whether there was breathing, but I didn't expect the patient to get up directly and bite the nurse's neck, and the blood gushed out in an instant, the nurse covered the wound and screamed, everyone saw such a scene and retreated directly, not daring to step forward, so the nurse fell down, and died directly in a few seconds.
The patient lying on the operating table got up and fell down from the operating table, then stood up and bit the doctors around him, Dr. Chen took off his hat and mask, put down the scalpel in his hand and asked everyone to evacuate quickly, and then Dr. Chen closed the door after the break, and before everyone ran out, the patient had already staggered over, in order to control the spread of pathogens, Dr. Chen could only decisively close the door, and then locked the door with a key, and the doctor who fell behind could not avoid the patient's bite, and was directly pounced on the door, The miserable doctor clapped his hands on the doors and windows, as if trying to seek Dr. Chen's help. The patient who pounced on him tore the doctor apart, blood splattered on the doors and windows, and the doctor's shouts could be heard from inside.
Seeing the young doctor's plea for help, Dr. Chen was powerless, seeing the doctor tearing apart in front of his eyes, Dr. Chen stayed in place in fright, staring at the red-stained window with frightened eyes, and his body kept tensing.
It happened very quickly, the staff in the hospital became extremely hurried, there were not many patients to be treated in the ward, and the patients infected with the virus were piled up on the entire floor, Dr. Chen quickly left the operating room, looking at the doctors walking around, and then looking at the different wards were experiencing all kinds of coughs, and the situation was far worse than expected.
Dr. Chen looked back at the operating room that had just left, there were very few doctors who knew the situation, and Dr. Chen did not want to see the terrible thing happen, so he immediately left here, walking in the corridor and was bumped into by several nurses, all of whom were asking Dr. Chen what to do.
"Let me be quiet, okay?!"
The sudden sound made the surroundings quiet for a while, and the surrounding crowd looked at Dr. Chen and didn't know what to say, Dr. Chen left, went to his office, closed the door, sat on the chair and held his head, not knowing what to do.
Calming down, Dr. Chan looked up cases of respiratory diseases of the lungs online, as well as some common treatments. At this moment, Dr. Chen looked at some hot news, all reporting on the epidemic in various regions, the cases are similar to Dr. Chen's side, all kinds of people and people bite each other cases broke out on the Internet, because there are too many infected people, many hospitals can no longer accommodate it, there are many infected people living on the streets to destroy the local daily life, there are still many protesters on the news holding various protest signs complaining about the attitude of urban governance, of course, there are many such news abroad frequently, The extremely poor level of management and treatment will inevitably make some thugs destroy and loot the streets, saying that the end of the world has arrived, and everyone has to do it!
Dr. Chan has read the news of various recent outbreaks, and some news reports say that there is no treatment for people infected with unknown viruses, so try not to be bitten by infected people, avoid fatal wounds, and try to hide at home during the epidemic. Dr. Chen's mind flashed with the outburst scene, appearing in Dr. Chen's sight like a slideshow, the mouse in his hand clicking frequently, all reporting the invasion of an unknown virus, and Dr. Chen's hands shaking as the screen rummaged.
Suddenly, Dr. Chan was interrupted by a burst of voice.
"Doctor? Dr. Chan? The guard shook Dr. Chen and said, reassuring to see that Dr. Chen was relieved. Are you okay? ”
Seeing the guard shouting to himself, Dr. Chen was pulled to reality, looked at the stunned guard and said, "It's okay, just take a rest." ”
Dr. Chen washed his face again, water droplets dripped down his cheeks, and the blood stains on his face were washed off, looking at himself who was strange and familiar, strange because he had come to the world of the last days, and the environment and reality could no longer be distinguished, and besides, he locked up his wife and daughter, and he saved a strange person, and he didn't know if they were still alive.
Suddenly, the patient on the bed didn't feel well, and the guard and Dr. Chan looked at each other and walked over.
Family members helped the patient to lie down in bed, and the patient coughed from time to time. Dr. Chan looked at this familiar scene in horror, his eyes full of shock......
