Chapter 3: Chapter 3
In the morning, Lan Ye opened his sleepy eyes. The sirens outside had been sirens almost non-stop all night, and he was almost always in a half-asleep and half-awake state.
When he turned on his phone, it was full of messages from Yuze.
He was fine, but it was said that a patient suddenly went crazy last night, biting people everywhere, and was finally shot dead on the spot by the police on duty.
The incident injured two doctors and one nurse, and the patient's father, who was in charge of taking care of the patient, had his throat bitten off by the patient, and died on the spot.
After washing up, before going downstairs, Lan Ye picked up a baton and pinned it to his waist. It's not peaceful outside now, so it's better to be prepared.
Lan Ye looked at the heavy baton in his hand, and felt relieved. At the same time, he thought of Wang Hao.
Wang Hao was my high school classmate. He joined the army after graduating from high school.
This baton was given to me by him before he joined the army.
It is said that the baton is mostly made of space steel and alloy, which is very tough and strong, and can split bricks and break stones.
When Wang Hao came back to visit his family during the army holiday, he always took Lan Ye and Yu Ze to conduct devilish physical and combat training.
Hand-to-hand combat, close combat with weapons, cross-country running with weights, Wang Hao was merciless and tortured them to death in every one of them. But it should be said that although the process was painful, Lan Ye's physical fitness has also been greatly improved.
Recalling the past, Lan Ye went downstairs and got on the bus to the hospital while eating the buns he just bought from the breakfast shop.
Soon, the bus arrived at the station. When he got off the bus, he was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him, and the bun in his mouth almost fell to the ground.
The hospital entrance was full of armed patrolling special police, and from time-to-time police officers would walk by with sturdy police dogs. Black police armored vehicle was parked at the entrance of the inpatient department, with police lights flashing silently.
Several armed police officers stood on both sides of the entrance of the outpatient building, and a police officer with the rank of second-level police inspector was checking everyone who entered.
In the crowd, several patrolling policemen stood guard, their hands on the guns at their waists, and the crowd passed through them quickly.
"What's going on?"
Lan Ye muttered, passing by the emergency room on the first floor. He looked around and found that there were many injured people sitting in the corridor of the hospital, almost all of them were bitten or scratched, and there were even two or three policemen in police uniforms.
They didn't seem to notice Lan Ye. Several nurses were walking back and forth in the corridor, helping them to carefully treat their wounds.
One of the slightly fat middle-aged men was still complaining in a hoarse voice: "I didn't provoke him, but he came up like a psychopath and bit me!"
As he said this, he shook his right hand wrapped in gauze and muttered: "What bad luck, it hurts so much."
Today, it was my turn to the neurosurgery department, which was on the third floor of the inpatient department. Lan Ye walked around in a carefree manner, wanting to wait until they finished their shift before going up, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to go in when the head nurse was reading the work report.
While waiting for the elevator, Lan Ye bought a bottle of drink from the vending machine next to the elevator. Seeing that there was no one around, he pulled down his mask and just unscrewed the lid to drink when the elevator door opened with a ding.
A hooded man in black quickly flashed out of the elevator. He was so fast that Lan Ye didn't have time to see his face clearly. He passed by Lan Ye like a gust of wind and bumped into Lan Ye, causing Lan Ye to lose his grip on the bottle and almost spit it out.
"Damn it, bro, watch out!"
Lan Ye was a little annoyed and turned around, only to see that guy walking away without even looking back. He really has no manners. He didn't even apologize after bumping into someone. Lan Ye muttered and walked into the elevator.
When he looked up, he saw a girl standing in front of Lan Ye, looking at him with a smile. Lan Ye was stunned for a moment, then he was delighted, and his mood suddenly became cheerful. The unhappiness he had just felt when he was bumped by the black hood disappeared the moment he saw the girl in front of him.
"Why are you grinning like an idiot?" Xinxin gently hit Lan Ye. "If the director catches you without a mask, you'll be in trouble."
After pressing the elevator button for the third floor, Lan Ye and she stood quietly in the elevator. The two were very close to each other. The inadvertent touch of their arms made Lan Ye's heartbeat faster. The only sound of the elevator rising was in his ears.
She leaned slightly to one side as if on purpose, and her head gently rested on Lan Ye's chest.
He suddenly remembered what Yu Ze said, "When are you going to ask her out on a date?"
Just when Lan Ye wanted to say something, the elevator door opened, Xinxin smiled and waved to him at the door, then pushed the cart straight into a ward.
Only then did Lan Ye realize that the corridor was full of people, several policemen were walking around to maintain order, and some were holding notebooks to inquire about the situation.
Several nurses were talking to a young man, and it seemed very lively. When the head nurse saw Lan Ye coming, she smiled enthusiastically: "Lan Ye, here." Lan Ye walked over curiously and saw a tall and handsome young man. He smiled and talked with the people around him, and his whole body exuded a masculine aura.
"This is a police officer from the criminal police team. There have been many violent incidents recently, so they are temporarily assigned here to take charge of security work."
"Hello, my name is Gao Weijun." He extended his hand to Lan Ye enthusiastically, showing a sincere smile.
Lan Ye shook hands with him, thinking that this young police officer who had obviously just started working was indeed very handsome, a typical sunny man. If he changed out of plain clothes and put on police uniform, he would probably be able to charm a lot of girls.
As we were talking, a nurse pushed a cart past us. She was about 1.6 meters tall and had a little baby fat on her face.
She nodded and greeted Lan Ye, who recognized her. Her name was Mu Han, and they had worked together during their internship.
Lan Ye also smiled and nodded in response, but Gao Weijun's expression became a little strange. He stared at Mu Han who was walking towards him without blinking, his eyes full of surprise, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak.
Mu Han frowned and turned away from him, quickening his pace and walking away without looking back.
"Huh? You... know each other?" Lan Ye asked curiously. Looking at Gao Weijun's affectionate eyes, there was definitely something wrong with these two people.
"...Oh, friend." Gao Weijun's answer seemed a little absent-minded.
Lan Ye nodded thoughtfully and was about to say something when a piercing scream of terror suddenly broke through the air, like a steel needle piercing everyone's eardrum.
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. The sound came from the orthopedic surgery department opposite the door.
It was a mess outside, the floor was shaking, people were running wildly, and countless people's cries and shouts, mixed with bursts of shrill screams, echoed in the corridor of the hospital, like the devils of hell roaring for flesh and blood.
Lan Ye was frightened by the sudden and huge noise, and his heart began to beat wildly for no reason. That was the instinctive reaction of humans in the face of unknown fear.
A doctor next to the door was about to open the door to check the situation, "Pah!" A blood-stained hand suddenly slammed heavily on the glass of the door, and the originally clean and transparent glass instantly became blood-stained.
Under everyone's stunned gaze, a rotten, incomplete face slowly emerged from under the glass.
Almost at the same time, a piercing and shrill alarm suddenly exploded into the air, echoing in the space filled with fear and blood.
The alarm signal lights on the wall spun wildly, casting a cold and dangerous blood-red light into every corner of the hospital.
A mechanical, cold, emotionless electronic prompt sounded on the hospital radio:
"An unknown highly contagious disease has been detected, and an unknown pathogen has invaded. Emergency isolation procedures have been initiated!"
The heavy isolation gate in the lobby on the first floor suddenly fell down, and the windows and entrances and exits of each building were all sealed in less than a few seconds. The sunlight was instantly blocked, and the entire hospital fell into a sudden darkness and panic.
The crowd's screams of fear, curses mixed with the cries of women and children echoed in the cold darkness. Lan Ye looked at the huge hospital in chaos and suddenly realized a fact:
From now on, the hospital has been completely isolated, and they are all trapped here. Together with those horrible things.
