One week after the virus outbreak.
In a dark room in a hospital in Shanhai City, a man in hospital clothes groaned in pain and woke up leisurely.
The man looked confused. He held his head with one hand and looked around. It was pitch black, except for the emergency lights in the corner that were still flashing green.
The man felt something on his lips. He picked it up and looked at it. It was a bag containing liquid food.
The man fumbled around based on instinct, and after touching the call system above the bed, he pressed the button of the ward call system.
The man tried several more times, but still got no response. At the same time, he also realized that there was no one else in the room except himself.
The man struggled out of bed and stepped on the cold floor. The cold feeling refreshed him.
The man touched the wall with his hands and moved closer to the outer door little by little. When he approached the ward toilet door, the man turned the door handle and pushed the door open to enter the toilet.
The man turned on the faucet, and the sound of splashing echoed in the room. The man grabbed the faucet with his hand and drank the water in big gulps.
With the influx of water, the man felt like a dry land encountered a heavy rain, and his whole person became energetic. He drank several times of water, then turned off the faucet and wiped the water droplets from the corners of his mouth.
Just as he was about to walk out of the bathroom, he raised his head and saw a pale face.
In the corner, the faint green emergency light illuminated the face of the person in the mirror like a grimace, causing him to take a few steps back involuntarily.
The man's frightened expression was exactly the same as the expression in the mirror. Only then did he realize that the face in the mirror was his own, and the man cursed secretly.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw the three characters "Chen Xiaodong" on his chest.
The man looked at the name on the mirror. His memory was a little blurry, but he couldn't remember the purpose of coming to the hospital.
He only remembered that he seemed to be looking for something, and then at an intersection, a large truck drove over. Chen Xiaodong's memory was very vague, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not remember what it was.
This hospital gave people a very strange feeling. There were no lights in the middle of the night, and there were no coughs from other patients. It was completely different from the hospital he remembered.
Chen Xiaodong opened the ward and came to the corridor. He looked around and saw a chaotic scene. Documents and clothes were scattered, as well as many hospital beds and chairs, blocking the corridor in random directions, as if they were blocking something.
"How long have I been in the ward?"
Chen Xiaodong had doubts in his eyes and kept observing his surroundings. What was going on? This was too exaggerated. However, Chen Xiaodong did not pay attention to various abnormal phenomena.
"Hey! Is anyone there?"
Chen Xiaodong stood in the aisle and shouted twice to both sides, but no other sound was heard except his own echo.
Chen Xiaodong was hit by the cold wind and shivered. Only then did Chen Xiaodong realize that he not only felt it was dark outside, but also felt very dangerous.
Chen Xiaodong felt that it was safer to stay in the ward, and it would not be too late to come out during the day.
As soon as Chen Xiaodong retreated to the door, he heard movement in the corridor on the left. The sense of crisis in Chen Xiaodong's heart immediately dissipated a lot, and he strode towards the direction of the sound.
Walking through the corridor, Chen Xiaodong passed through hospital beds and chairs one after another, and walked to a ward at the end of the corridor. The door was ajar.
Chen Xiaodong peeked inside secretly. It was pitch black inside and he couldn't see clearly. He was not sure if there was anyone inside.
At the same time, a strong sense of crisis came from Chen Xiaodong. Chen Xiaodong felt a dangerous aura. As he approached, this dangerous feeling became stronger and stronger.
This is a feeling that humans instinctively produce when facing danger. This feeling will be transformed into fear, and then spread to all parts of the body to keep oneself away from danger.
Just as Chen Xiaodong was about to leave, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a man also wearing a hospital gown walked out of the ward. He opened his hands and grabbed Chen Xiaodong.
Chen Xiaodong had sharp eyes and quick hands, and his hands instinctively held the man's shoulders to prevent him from getting close to him. The man opened his mouth wide and kept closing it, wanting to bite Chen Xiaodong.
Chen Xiaodong smelled the stench emanating from the man. It was the smell of someone who hadn't brushed his teeth for a long time. A sour smell filled Chen Xiaodong's brain, making Chen Xiaodong want to vomit.
"Damn! Why are you up so late at night and scaring people?"
Chen Xiaodong kicked the man in the abdomen and knocked the man to the ground. Chen Xiaodong pointed at the man and cursed: "Hey, hey, I'm telling you, you are going crazy, be careful I beat you, you are sick!" "
The man stood up from the ground and rushed towards Chen Xiaodong again, but was kicked to the ground by Chen Xiaodong again.
"Fuck! What is this! Are you still here?"
Chen Xiaodong looked confused. If this person didn't say anything, he would pounce on him as soon as he met him. This person must be sick. Even if the hospital doesn't turn on the lights at night, even the patients living here are very sick.
When Chen Xiaodong saw that the man was still attacking him, Chen Xiaodong turned around and ran away without saying a word.
At this moment, he only wanted to find the hospital nurse and go through the discharge procedures. He never wanted to stay in this hospital for a second again.
This place was not a place for patients to stay. It was basically a lunatic asylum. He went to report this hospital as soon as he left.
Chen Xiaodong ran towards the aisle on the right, climbed over several hospital beds lying on the ground, came to the elevator door, reached out and pressed the elevator button frantically.
"Oops! There's no electricity. Why should I take the elevator? Forget it, take the stairs."
Chen Xiaodong muttered quietly and walked towards the corner stairs. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw several nurses walking towards him.
"Damn it! Why did you come here? The hospital doesn't even turn on the lights at night, but there isn't even a night-watching nurse. Please go through the discharge procedures for me quickly, or wait for me to complain!"
When Chen Xiaodong saw several nurses, they immediately started arguing. They were walking on the steps, stopped immediately, and slowly stepped back with their legs.
Through the "light" behind him, Chen Xiaodong saw the ragged nurses, covered in blood, standing staggeringly at the entrance of the stairs, holding something in their hands and stuffing it into their mouths.
Chen Xiaodong looked back and saw the bright light, which made him see the first scene he would never forget. This was not the so-called light. It was clearly the raging fires burning in many buildings in Shanhai City.
The most eye-catching thing is the big screen on a tall building.
"All survivors, immediately rush to train stations, airports, schools, and hospitals for emergency evacuation. Survivors who have not had time to evacuate must stay away from infected people and people wandering on the streets. Please go to a safe place. Waiting for military rescue, Shanhai City Police Station, Wednesday, November 24, 2040."
Chen Xiaodong looked confused. How long did he have to lie down for Shanhai City to become like this?
Chen Xiaodong heard a roar, looked back, and saw several nurses rushing over from the stairs. Before he could think about it, Chen Xiaodong ran upstairs.
He walked to a corner and formed a wall with a bed and a chair, blocking his escape. He didn't know what the infected people on the big screen looked like, and he didn't know why the military gave up here. Now he only knew that it was important to escape.
"Damn it, who is so wicked!"
Chen Xiaodong cursed loudly, grabbed a wooden stick on the ground, turned around and stared at the stairs below. He didn't know how many times he cursed the guy blocking his way out.
