Chapter 326 In Memories
Gong Jingming's memories of Zuochuan People's Hospital began with a car accident.
An out-of-control truck veered wildly on the highway, causing a chain-reaction accident involving more than a dozen vehicles.
Gong Jingming's car was among them. After losing consciousness on the highway, he, like everyone else, was taken to Zuochuan People's Hospital, the closest hospital to the area.
He wasn't seriously injured; he just hit his head and lost consciousness. Therefore, he was placed in a corner of the ward, while the hospital's resources were all allocated to other seriously injured patients.
That afternoon, Gong Jingming was awakened by a terrified scream.
A patient near the door suddenly went berserk and began attacking the nurses and doctors. When he opened his eyes, he saw the entire ward covered in blood.
He thought he had stumbled into a medical dispute, and seeing the blood-covered thug coming towards him, he quickly hid in the cabinet next to the hospital bed.
The cabinet was made of solid wood and was cramped. Gong Jingming was already injured and weak, and he fainted from lack of oxygen after being inside for a short while.
When he woke up again, all that was left in the ward was pools of blood.
He walked to the door and accidentally stepped on the broken mirror on the ground.
Gong Jingming looked down and saw that his black hair had turned blue without him noticing.
The hospital couldn't possibly dye his hair while he was unconscious. He went into the bathroom and carefully examined himself in the mirror. The blue hair grew from the roots, as if it were his natural hair, and there was no trace of dyeing.
The hospital was silent. He pushed open the door and went outside. There was blood splattered everywhere and pieces of unknown flesh. The trolley was overturned on the ground, and the head nurse was nowhere to be seen.
He tried calling the hospital's landline, but he couldn't get through to any of them, whether it was his family members, the police (110), or the ambulance (120).
If you can't get through to a family member's phone, you can find a reason, but if you can't get through to the police station, there's no explanation.
Gong Jingming stood in the corridor, feeling as fearful and bewildered as he had been when he stood beside the burning house during the fire years ago.
Gong Jingming was attacked when the sound of dialing attracted the monster roaming the hospital.
He will never forget the first time he faced a deformed person.
A monster, fused with car debris, climbed onto the nurses' station, its prominent bone spurs glaringly menacing under the hospital's cold, white lights.
Gong Jingming immediately ran into the medicine dispensing area, then closed the door behind the nurses' station, and stumbled downstairs. The mutated man chased after him, breaking down the door in just two moves, baring his teeth and snarling as he pursued him.
Gong Jingming ran up two floors, but was eventually cornered by the monster, which was drooling and wriggling its body toward its prey.
Just as the fangs were about to touch Gong Jingming, vines appeared out of nowhere and blocked his way, trapping the deformed man firmly.
Sharp barbs pierced the deformed man's body, sucking at the gushing blood.
Gong Jingming's first summoning object in life was a vampire vine.
It was at that moment that he realized he possessed superpowers.
Newly born superhumans are completely unable to handle such situations; all they can do is run away to a safe place free of monsters.
Strangely, he never encountered another mutant in the hospital after that one.
He stumbled out of the hospital, only to find that the outside had already been cordoned off by the police, and the area was littered with the aftermath of the battle.
As darkness swept across the sky, Gong Jingming entered the end times on such a lonely night.
“We only encountered one mutant…” Miao Yin said ambiguously.
"Yes... I think about it later and it seems very strange," Gong Jingming said, looking down at the ground.
Miao Yin believed Gong Jingming's words; this was absolutely the truth.
However, the number of mutants in Zuochuan People's Hospital could not possibly be that small, especially considering that there are so many mutants from the apocalypse origin there.
Besides, if the hospital were really that safe, the casualties of the Dream City army wouldn't have been so heavy.
Not to mention that the other party is a B-level ability user the moment they open their eyes, there must be something fishy going on.
But clearly, Gong Jingming couldn't provide an answer.
Given his concussion condition, it was incredibly fortunate that he even made it out of the hospital.
To know the truth about the origins of the apocalypse, you still have to go and see it for yourself.
“We’ll wait three more days and then go to Zuochuan People’s Hospital,” Miao Yin said.
Time flowed slowly as the clock ticked, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, You Wenwen continued to supply Yan Shuzhou with his supernatural abilities every day, and the time Yan Shuzhou could sustain this ability was getting longer and longer. So far, he can sustain it for eight hours.
The doctor drew a vial of blood for a test, and all the indicators were steadily rising, gradually dispelling the deathly atmosphere in the ward.
Everyone was keeping track of time, hoping he would wake up within three days, as Miao Yin was becoming increasingly impatient.
"Wenwen, aren't you going to rest?" On the third night, Ling saw You Wenwen still transferring her supernatural abilities to Yan Shuzhou in the ward.
She had already transferred her supernatural power three hours earlier, so Yan Shuzhou shouldn't need treatment now.
Yu Wenwen said in a low voice, "I want to transfer more supernatural power to him so that he can wake up quickly."
Ling Mo paused for a moment. During the day, they had asked the doctor if the other person showed any signs of waking up, but the doctor had only shaken his head at them regretfully.
Three days have passed, and they will leave tomorrow.
At that time, no one will care about Yan Shuzhou.
She poured herself a glass of water and sat down next to You Wenwen to keep her company.
Not long after, Tu Hao suddenly walked in, stared at Yan Shuzhou for a while, and then leaned against the wall.
"Is there something you need?" Ling asked.
Tu Hao ignored her.
Just then, Miao Yin, who had been strolling around outside, also entered the ward.
Looking at the strange atmosphere and the people inside, Miao Yin tilted her head and immediately found the crux of the problem.
Her gaze fell on Tu Hao: "What are you doing here?"
"Waiting to kill someone," he said calmly.
Tu Hao had a cigarette in his mouth, which was unusual for him. He didn't light it, he just held it in his mouth. Miao Yin knew that he was a heavy smoker when he was a mercenary, but he was forced to quit after the apocalypse and rarely smoked a cigarette.
Yu Wenwen cast an incredulous look at him: "Kill who?"
Tu Hao didn't speak, but simply switched the cigarette to the other side and chewed on it, his dark eyes fixed on the hospital bed.
"Why?" The child looked confused.
Tu Hao clicked his tongue: "If you leave him here, what will you do when he wakes up, finds himself abandoned, and wants revenge?"
He then turned to look at Miao Yin: "You don't have any objections to eliminating the root of the problem, do you?"
Miao Yin's golden eyes flickered, once again marveling at the other's keen perception.
Clearly, Tu Hao and she had the same idea.
Yan Shuzhou's special ability is too extraordinary. If it weren't for the Blood Guanyin being such a gem, he would probably have taken the top spot for special abilities.
They've abandoned him now, and there's no guarantee that Yan Shuzhou will continue to live under Hu Hai's care, only to quietly awaken one day and seek revenge after discovering their betrayal.
Who can say for sure? With Yan Shuzhou's abilities, is he able to break the curse? If one day he really stands against her, then she'll be in trouble.
So today, Yan Shuzhou will either wake up or die.
Tu Hao came to kill him in place of Miao Yin.
"How did you get involved in charity?" Miao Yin asked with a smile, but there was little warmth in her eyes.
Tu Hao replied completely unconcerned, "Do I need one more life?"
Yu Wenwen: "But..."
"No rush." Miao Yin pointed to the clock spinning on the wall.
"Fifteen minutes until midnight."
Everything will be decided in fifteen minutes.
