On this floor, there were no zombies. How could it be caused by zombies?
Several people pushed open the door and entered the nearest operating room.
The operating room was as clean as new, with no traces visible. After searching around, they found nothing unusual.
It didn’t look like anyone had stayed here.
Just as they were about to leave, someone looked under the operating table.
There was blood.
The group hurried over and took some of the blood, which turned out to be from experimental subject number twenty-three.
Experimental subject number twenty-three had been here before, or perhaps had just left.
After all, the blood dripping on the ground had not completely coagulated, indicating that it had not been long since he had left.
The man on the other end of the video seemed somewhat disinterested. After hearing the report from the group, he didn’t even lift his head. “Check the surveillance.”
The group was stunned. They had forgotten they could still check the surveillance.
The city’s electricity hadn’t been cut off yet, so the surveillance cameras were still working. The group immediately went to the surveillance room and pulled up the footage near the cardiac surgery department on the fourth floor.
They quickly found the figures of three people.
The man had only glanced casually at first, but then he happened to see a figure on the screen, and his gaze froze.
The young man in the video didn’t look like a real person, more like a blooming crystal flower, clean and pure, yet seemingly extremely fragile.
As if deprived of care, it would wither and fall apart, turning into nothingness.
But he proved with his actions that he was not a fragile crystal flower. From observing the terrain to devising a plan to lure away the zombies, it took less than a minute.
The plan was almost perfect, with every step carefully considered.
But unfortunately, it backfired because of his own blood.
Just when the man thought the young man would abandon the girl, the young man’s eyes softened, and he said;
“I never joke about my own life.”
The man’s pupils contracted slightly, showing a hint of admiration and infatuation in his eyes.
Because at the moment when the young man smiled gently with lowered brows, his beauty couldn’t be described with any language.
It was as if the whole world had become a mere background.
The young man was not a fragile crystal flower, but more like a night-blooming orchid, silently and tenaciously growing towards the moonlight in the darkness of the night.
It’s breathtakingly beautiful.
The man had long put down his notebook, earnestly watching the young man on the screen.
Only after the young man’s figure disappeared from the video did he come to his senses, speaking in a commanding tone.
“Go retrieve that alarm clock.”
Several people immediately rushed to the window where the alarm clock fell.
The blood-stained alarm clock was nowhere to be found.
But there were still some bloodstains on the ground, leading the way for further investigation.
A few of them followed the blood trail and found a large pile of zombies, with almost all the nearby zombies rushing over.
Normally, zombies wouldn’t attack their own kind, but at this moment, they were bizarrely pushing and even fiercely biting other zombies.
It seemed they were fighting over something.
It was that alarm clock.
The group swallowed nervously at the sight, not daring to rush in directly.
They merely used protective suits to mask their human scent and even added the smell of zombies outside the protective suits, allowing them to move freely among the zombie horde.
But now, the zombies were attacking each other. If they went to snatch it, they would surely be attacked, too.
But not obeying the doctor’s orders wouldn’t lead to a good outcome, either.
They returned to the helicopter and took out a large amount of items specifically designed for dealing with zombies.
However, these zombies were unusually ferocious, as if mutated by the scent of blood. Even though they had anti-zombie items, they lost three people before successfully retrieving the alarm clock.
The man seemed as if he hadn’t noticed the deaths of the three people at all, with a hint of pleasure in his eyes. “Quickly, bring the alarm clock over.”
“Oh, and make a copy of the surveillance footage and send it to my email.”
“Yes, Doctor.”

At this moment, Ruan Qing and the other two had already left the vicinity of the Second Hospital.
Ruan Qing knew that the hospital had surveillance cameras, and he noticed them as soon as he entered.
But among the three of them, only Jiang Shuyu could move freely, making it difficult to erase the surveillance footage.
Clearing the traces was just a way to delay, allowing the people in the lab to find their traces later.
Ruan Qing rubbed his temples wearily, leaned back in his seat, tilted his head slightly upwards, and slowly closed his eyes.
Xie Xuanlan sat up straight, leaned closer to Ruan Qing, and lightly touched him.
Apparently, he wanted Ruan Qing to lean on him.
After sensing someone approaching, Ruan Qing subconsciously glanced sideways, then closed his eyes again upon seeing it was Xie Xuanlan, without leaning on him or paying any attention to him.
He remained in the same resting posture as before.
Xie Xuanlan pursed his thin lips, feeling a bit disappointed, and tightened the hand beside him, his nails almost embedding into the flesh due to the force.
At the same time, nobody noticed the wound on Xie Xuanlan’s waist caused by Yan Ci, which had darkened and intensified in the surrounding area.
The spread of it had also accelerated.
The western side of the island was the most remote area, completely on the edge of the island. Even before the apocalypse, it took five or six hours to drive there, not to mention after the complete paralysis of transportation.
Jiang Shuyu tried several routes but couldn’t get through, and the sky was gradually darkening.
Zombies at night were more active and powerful than during the day.
Plus, it was hard to see the road conditions at night, so it would be difficult to escape if an accident occurred.
It was definitely not okay to travel at night.
The main reason was that due to the previous collision with a zombie, there was probably some oil leakage, and now the fuel was almost depleted.
Jiang Shuyu wasn’t sure how much longer they could run.
The three of them could only find a safe place to rest for the night before continuing.
Jiang Shuyu drove the car into a villa area.
This villa area was where wealthy people lived, with a relatively sparse population and relatively less danger.
But apparently, others had the same idea. Several villas ahead had already been occupied by other survivors.
Because Ruan Qing and Xie Xuanlan had limited mobility, only Jiang Shuyu got out of the car. She tried knocking on the door of one of the villas.
No one responded.
Even if there was a response, it would be to ask her to leave. No one was willing to accept them.
It’s quite late now. Finding another place was almost out of the question.
lmao not him falling in love. dw its normal now
