Although looking at the main gate outside, the hospital seems not to have been invaded by external forces.

But that doesn't stop the hospital from being breached from the inside.

For example, the virus in the hospital's director, doctors, nurses, etc., could worsen, causing them to go on a rampage inside...

If that's the case, the hospital's courtyard would undoubtedly show some traces.

However, when everyone arrived at the courtyard, they found everything as usual.

If there's anything strange about it...

It's only that it's too quiet, almost eerily quiet...

If it has fallen, those things would definitely be wandering around inside the hospital.

If it hasn't, where are the people inside?

Such a large hospital, with such advanced and complete facilities, it's unlikely they'd leave a perfectly good shelter and run outside foolishly, right?

"Let's go, take a look inside the building."

Wang Dayong suggested while dissatisfiedly nudging Ma Ran nestled in his arms.

"Didn't you say this is the most badass hospital? Why can't we see a single soul inside?"

"Uh this..."

Ma Ran, who stubbornly refused to get down from Wang Dayong's arms, mumbled, unable to explain.

"Never mind all that, what Ma Ran said is true, the sturdiness of this place is indeed unquestionable, let's go check inside the building."

The hallway of the hospital was dimly lit, and the directional signs on the walls appeared particularly eerie under the green emergency lights.

They steadily advanced deeper into the hospital, following the signs.

Just then, Niu Jieshi's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Niu Jieshi's voice broke the deathly silence of the corridor, his brows tightly knit, as if he had caught some subtle sound.

"Seems like there's some movement?" he said, listening attentively.

Everyone instantly held their breath, trying to discern the almost imperceptible sound.

For a moment, the entire corridor was enveloped in an odd silence.

Sure enough, faintly, they heard a low, hoarse growl, as if coming from a corner not far away, or perhaps from underground.

But when they listened carefully, the sound seemed to disappear.

Jiang Xiao's eyes grew more vigilant, signaling everyone to remain silent. He cautiously approached the source of the sound, gesturing for formation as a precaution.

Shi Shi stuck close to Wang Dayong's back, her fingers lightly touching the energy dagger at her waist, ready to face any potential danger at a moment's notice.

Ma Ran clutched tightly onto Wang Dayong's coat, his complexion pale, eyes full of fear. Despite his reluctance to admit it, the terror in his heart made him nearly unable to stand steady.

They slowly approached the source of the sound, drawing nearer step by step.

As the distance closed, the sound grew clearer, like a mixture of painful moans and angry roars, sending chills down their spines.

As if to match the atmosphere, the already creepy green emergency lights in the hallway began to flicker continuously, casting an eerie green hue on everyone's faces.

Wang Dayong felt the body in his arms start to tremble, unable to stop from threatening.

"Damn it, I've been holding you, that's being merciful enough, if you pee on me, I'll smack you hard!"

Wang Dayong scoffed coldly and was the first to stride deeper into the corridor.

"Go! Damn it, we're strange, are we afraid of the market?"

The group followed the sound to the end of the corridor.

It was a small, isolated room. Standing outside the door, not only could they clearly hear the growling inside, but there also seemed to be a painful moan accompanying it.

Jiang Xiao's fingers gently touched the cold doorknob, took a deep breath, then suddenly pushed the door open.

The door creaked open slowly, and a putrid smell hit them, making one almost want to vomit.

The sight in the room made everyone involuntarily hold their breath.

They saw a figure curled up in the corner, body convulsing continually, emitting those painful moans.

And his body was no longer a complete human form, some parts swollen and deformed, as if something was writhing beneath the skin.

"This..."

It didn't look like a zombie, but more like the initial kind of herpetic virus.

Jiang Xiao immediately gestured, signaling others not to act rashly.

After all, this infected person wasn't in the medical pod, probably covered with viruses all over.

Ma Ran, though his legs felt weak as if to kneel, forced himself to stand straight, not wanting to hold back at this moment.

The figure seemed to sense Jiang Xiao's approach, and his convulsions suddenly intensified, the growls more pained.

Suddenly, that figure jerked up its head, revealing a twisted, distorted face, eyes filled with pain and fear.

His mouth was wide open, as if trying to say something, but only a series of incomprehensible snarls came out.

"I see..."

Jiang Xiao nodded, the person's mouth was completely ulcerated, and the tongue inside...

Well, it couldn't be called a tongue anymore, it looked like a mass of rotten flesh, having completely lost the ability to form sounds.

Everyone's mind began to imagine wildly, what kind of virus could turn a normal person into this?

How many other people in the hospital suffered the same fate? Could they find a solution, or at least find a way to escape this nightmare?

And, where did the rest of the hospital's people go?

Jiang Xiao and the others' gaze fixated firmly on the infected person who was shakily standing up.

The movements of the infected person were exceptionally slow, each step seemed to take tremendous effort.

Just then, his mouth suddenly twisted wide, revealing a mouthful of blackened blood.

Yet, at the moment the infected person opened his mouth wide, his body suddenly lunged forward at an astonishing speed, completely inconsistent with his prior movement pattern.

Jiang Xiao reacted in an instant, leaping backward swiftly.

Simultaneously, Wang Dayong kicked him aside.

But to everyone's surprise, the infected person did not attack them; rather, he rushed to the other side of the room and fiercely bit into the wall with his twisted mouth.

What?

The group froze in place, not understanding why the infected would behave so strangely.

But regardless of the wall's sturdiness, the infected person's teeth were already incredibly loose, falling out within a few bites.

The mix of black blood and saliva oozed down the wall.

After gnashing a few times, the infected person suddenly stopped, body convulsing violently, seemingly experiencing indescribable pain.

His eyes revealed a hint of a plea for help, but it was soon replaced by agony and madness.

He began banging his head against the ground, bluntly knocking himself dead right in front of Jiang Xiao and the others.

Everyone's expression: ???

What the hell?

After watching this performance for so long, they thought the guy might provide some valuable information, only to bash himself to death in front of them?
