《The Strongest Zombie Evolution System》


 A Heavy Burden

    <div>


    "Professor Wang, where are we going?" Lin Fan walked behind Professor Wang Yuan, the attending doctor of the hospital, and they headed towards the basement of the hospital together.


    "You''ll know when we get there. Just bear with it for now," Professor Wang replied.


    Since the moment the elevator stopped at the basement on the negative fifth floor, Lin Fan had always sensed a strange pungent smell in the rooms on this floor. Lin Fan first thought of formalin, but then he shook his head slightly. The smell of formalin was a bit better than this one. Among the strange smells in the basement, there was an acidic odor mixed with the stench of decay.


    After walking forward for a while, a rumbling sound of machinery operating came from the front. Although the sound was small, it still gave Lin Fan a start. Looking around, he saw that all the walls were made of white porcelain. Where on earth was the sound coming from?


    "Listen, Professor Wang. There seems to be a sound up ahead," Lin Fan joked. "Am I having tinnitus?"


    "You don''t have tinnitus. There''s a small reagent room of mine down here, and the equipment in the reagent room has been running all the time," said Professor Wang.


    "Oh, so there''s more to this place than meets the eye."


    Suddenly, a "bang bang" sound came from the inside of the basement, and Lin Fan was startled at once. He quickly asked, "Professor Wang, is there anyone else down here?"


    At this time, Professor Wang walked up to a door. After the two of them entered, Professor Wang turned around and pressed several numbers beside the door. With a "boom" sound, the door immediately closed tightly. Both Professor Wang and Lin Fan entered the inner layer. Once the door was closed, the sound of the machinery operating inside became even harsher.


    By this time, Lin Fan understood that he didn''t have tinnitus. There was indeed a humming sound of machinery operating in one of the rooms in the basement.


    "There''s no one else. It''s just the two of us down here," Professor Wang explained calmly. "And there are some things that I don''t consider to be human."


    Hearing this, combined with the eerie surrounding environment, a sense of horror from the bottom of his heart instantly spread throughout Lin Fan''s whole body. On his stiff face, he managed to force a smile. "Professor Wang, I heard a banging sound just now. Did I hear it wrong?"


    "You didn''t hear it wrong. Something should have woken up," Professor Wang didn''t continue walking forward. Instead, he looked at Lin Fan. After a long pause, he said in a solemn tone, "Lin Fan, tell me, are we doctors?"


    "Of course we are doctors," Lin Fan blurted out immediately. He looked at Professor Wang in confusion, wondering why he would ask such a simple question.


    "Then should we keep the father and son surnamed Zhao healthy forever?"


    "Keep the father and son surnamed Zhao healthy forever? Professor Wang, I''m afraid that''s a bit difficult," said Lin Fan.


    "No, I''ve already achieved some results. You''re a young man, and after my observation, only you can fulfill my wish. So, I brought you in here. None of the other doctors were chosen by me."


    "Chosen to do what?" Lin Fan stared into Wang Yuan''s eyes. Through his pair of thick glasses, it seemed that he could see the beating of Wang Yuan''s heart. Moreover, this old professor usually had a serious face and seldom smiled. In this situation at the moment, there was a somewhat eerie atmosphere about him.


    "Come with me," Wang Yuan didn''t explain the reason but walked forward and went directly into a closed room. The reason it was said to be closed was that all the surrounding walls were pitch black.


    Inside this room, on the inner side of the left wall was a rectangular square table. Beside it was an iron wardrobe rack. Wang Yuan opened the iron wardrobe, took out a set of medical clean clothes, grasped them in his hand, then turned around, walked to the square table, took out a thick stack of materials from the middle drawer, and turned to Lin Fan and said, "Sit here."


    Lin Fan always felt that Wang Yuan had something to tell him. Seeing these actions of his, he had an illusion. Did he want him to help him mix reagents? Lin Fan obediently sat down and took the thick stack of materials. There was a heavy feeling in his hand.Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    "All of these are the materials accumulated from my nearly thirty years of experimental research. There are also some CDs among them. I originally intended to leave them to my favorite student. Alas, unfortunately, he went to the United States and couldn''t make it back in time. I don''t have much time left and can''t wait for him. So, I have to entrust this important task to you."


    "That''s okay. When he comes back, I''ll just give these materials to him," Lin Fan sniffed. The sour and rancid smell in the room became even more pungent. There should be something else in this room.


    "No, these things are for you. You''ll understand my intention after reading these materials. As for when he''ll come back, whether you''re willing to tell him about me after he comes back, and how you''ll preserve these materials, these are all things that you''ll have to make decisions on your own in the future."


    "Wait a minute, Professor Wang. I feel that you seem different from usual tonight. What trouble have you encountered? If you tell the dean, he should be able to help," Lin Fan stood up. He didn''t flip through the large stack of materials but looked up in astonishment.


    "The dean? It''s impossible. These things are secret materials and can''t be seen by others. Only you are the last person I trust," said Professor Wang.


    "Professor Wang, just tell me directly what you''re going to do, okay?" Lin Fan stepped forward and grabbed Wang Yuan''s arm. Immediately, he felt that Wang Yuan''s arm was strangely cold. His doctor''s intuition told him that this wasn''t the kind of touch a normal person should have. What on earth had happened to Wang Yuan?


    "Don''t get close to me." Wang Yuan suddenly broke free from Lin Fan''s hand. He had a dejected expression, sat on a stool in front of him, and hugged his head with both hands, looking extremely pained.


    "Lin Fan, I''ve been infected with the zombie virus. But don''t worry. Through my theoretical research, as long as you''re not scratched by zombies on your skin, you''ll be safe. But still, please don''t get close to me. I don''t want you to have any accidents. Now, I''ll tell you the password for the exit passage. You must remember it. The password to open the door we just came in through is 871010. I believe you can remember this number because it''s exactly your birthday. In a while, I''ll go in and conduct an experiment on myself. You stay outside and watch carefully. Don''t miss any details."


    During this period, Lin Fan tried to ask several times, but each time Wang Yuan reached out to stop him. After being silent for a few minutes, Wang Yuan continued, "Also, after you go back, check your Industrial and Commercial Bank of China card. I prepared five million yuan of research funds for you on that card this afternoon. Maybe this amount of money isn''t too much, but you also know that I''m all alone, and this is pretty much all my savings from half a lifetime."


    "As for the questions you want to ask about the zombie virus and the purpose of my experiment, all the doubts are in this large stack of materials. After you take them back, study them carefully. All of these materials are extremely important. You must take good care of them."


    After saying these words, Wang Yuan''s breathing became rapid, his cheeks began to turn red, and finally, he asked, "No matter what the result of me is, you can only watch. For the rest, don''t do anything for the time being. Do you understand everything I''ve said?"


    Lin Fan was shocked by this sudden instruction on the spot. What on earth was going on? Was this a deathbed will? Suddenly, being asked to take on such a big challenge, could he do it?


    "Lin Fan, I know that suddenly asking you to take on this important task has made you a bit at a loss..."


    Before Wang Yuan could finish speaking, this time, Lin Fan nodded vigorously. He stood up resolutely, looked at Wang Yuan, and interrupted him. Word by word from Lin Fan''s mouth, he said, "Professor Wang, I can do it." Actually, when entering that door, Lin Fan had already peeked at the password while standing behind Wang Yuan.


    "Good, good, good. I knew I hadn''t misjudged you. You''re really just like my previous favorite student. With your words like this, I''m relieved," said Wang Yuan, and finally, a relieved smile appeared on his face.


    Wang Yuan then turned around and pointed to the corner on top of the square table. Only then did Lin Fan notice that there was a pinhole camera there.


    Wang Yuan said, "There''s a camera installed there. All the video recordings are in the electronic disk inside the camera. After I finish the experiment, if it fails, you should have a few minutes to leave. The disk inside the camera contains my final video recordings. You must take it away too. Remember, you can only succeed and must not fail."


    After arranging all of this, Wang Yuan finally felt relieved. He walked to the wall and pressed the power button on it. With a "hissing" sound, on the left side of Lin Fan''s wall, it suddenly became as bright as day. On that side, there were actually another row of rooms, roughly counting, there were five rooms separated from each other. Between these two rows of rooms, there were just two thick tempered glass panels in between.


    "I''m going in. Just watch from the outside. Remember my previous entrustment," Wang Yuan walked to one side of the wall, quickly pressed several numbers on the keyboard on the wall with his right hand, and then put his five fingers on the fingerprint recognition area below the keyboard. Immediately, the door on the wall opened.


    Lin Fan moved quickly and rushed forward, wanting to go in with Professor Wang. However, unexpectedly, Wang Yuan seemed to have expected it already, so he had already taken a step ahead. After entering the door, the door instantly closed and fitted tightly. Lin Fan bumped his body against the glass door with a "thud".


    Lin Fan had been closely watching Wang Yuan''s actions from beginning to end. His brain remembered the numbers that Wang Yuan pressed on the keyboard: 780101. Lin Fan knew in his heart that it was the birthday of Meng Tao, Wang Yuan''s favorite disciple.

 Lin Fans Profile

    Lin Fan pounded on the thick glass with his hand, but it was no use. This was tempered glass¡ªimpervious even to bullets, let alone fists.


    Wang Yuanchao smiled at Lin Fan, extending his right hand to make an "OK" gesture. He then activated the disinfection process in the first room, quickly donning a surgical gown that left only his eyes visible.


    Using the brightness of the lights, Lin Fan sniffed intently, trying to identify the source of a strange smell. Just then, the earlier "thud" echoed again, seemingly right behind him. Startled, Lin Fan looked up to find that the sound was coming from the pinhole camera.


    This was not just a regular camera; it seemed to have a speaker as well, transmitting sound from somewhere in another room.


    Turning back, Lin Fan saw that Wang Yuan was fully equipped and had opened the door, stepping into the second room next door.


    Inside the second room, there was an iron bed in the center, covered by a white cloth. Lin Fan''s pupils dilated¡ªhis instincts as a doctor told him that beneath that cloth lay a cold, lifeless body.


    He recalled Wang Yuan''s words before leaving: he had mentioned there were other things inside. Could it be a corpse? And what did he mean by wanting humanity to never forget the Zhao family? What was he researching?


    Wang Yuan didn''t linger in the second room; he crossed through it and walked toward the third room. As he opened the door, a bloody head suddenly leaped out from the ground. Lin Fan''s eyes widened in shock¡ªit was the head of a wolf dog, but it was far from normal. There was not a single hair on its head, just two blood-red eyes that moved wildly, desperately trying to jump up, but it failed again and again.


    In front of the wolf dog, Wang Yuan picked up a small microphone from the table and clipped it to the collar of his white coat. He then blew into it a couple of times, and immediately, the sound of his breath echoed from the camera positioned behind Lin Fan.


    ¡°Lin Fan, can you hear me? If so, nod your head.¡±


    Lin Fan faced Wang Yuan and quickly nodded twice.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you these things when I came in because I didn¡¯t want you to see me as a criminal. Now that you understand my situation, I can fully explain my research to you.¡±


    ¡°In front of me is a wolf dog that I secretly brought over from the veterinary lab. Of course, by the time I got it, it was already a dead dog.¡±


    Hearing this, Lin Fan¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. A dead dog? But what he saw was a lively, wriggling creature. Despite its bloody appearance, it was clearly moving, desperately trying to break free of its restraints. It was obviously alive¡ªcould he be mistaken?


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to be shocked. I used a special drug to revive this dog. It has once again regained a semblance of life. However, it can only move and has completely lost its reason; its brainwaves show no response. But I know this is just the first step of the experiment, and it¡¯s still a long way from my initial vision.¡±


    ¡°I mentioned earlier that the room below is my reagent lab. Indeed, this is where I am researching a drug I¡¯ve named ¡®Corpse Exterminator.¡¯ It¡¯s a virus optimized and purified from the bodies of the deceased. There¡¯s too much information to cover right now, and you might find it hard to accept all of this at once. Therefore, I¡¯ve included detailed extraction and purification methods in the materials I left for you.¡±Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.


    ¡°Ahem, this virus is extremely dangerous. It¡¯s crucial to warn you: whether or not you choose to continue this research, you must exercise extreme caution. This virus is not an ordinary one; it does not spread through air or saliva. There¡¯s only one mode of transmission¡ªthrough blood. Once it enters your bloodstream, it will seep into your marrow and spread throughout your body, and it propagates at an astonishing speed.¡±


    Wang Yuan suddenly exposed a part of his neck, turning around to show Lin Fan. Through the glass, Lin Fan noticed a vivid, fresh blood mark on the back of Wang Yuan''s neck.


    Wang Yuan straightened his attire and turned to face Lin Fan, his tone a bit somber. ¡°I was injured yesterday in the lab while preparing the Corpse Exterminator. I accidentally got scratched by something hard above me. At the time, I didn¡¯t think much of it, but after finishing the experiment, I started to feel unwell. During my break today, I distinctly noticed something was off with my body. I secretly checked my blood in the medical room and was horrified to discover that my blood test results were completely abnormal, matching exactly the blood samples I extracted from the wolf dog.¡±


    The entire room fell silent for a moment. Wang Yuan took a deep breath before looking up at Lin Fan, his expression deeply troubled. ¡°I know¡ªI¡¯ve been infected with the virus.¡±


    Lin Fan shook his head in disbelief. The sudden revelation was hard for him to accept, but what could he do? He could only sit quietly and listen to Professor Wang.


    ¡°The blood indicators suggest I have only a few hours left. I¡¯m running out of time, so I thought of you. I¡¯m placing my hopes in you.¡±


    ¡°From the day you entered the hospital, I felt fortunate to be your mentor. I¡¯ve looked into your background, Lin Fan. You were born in ''87, lost your mother at three, and at fourteen, you entered university to study clinical microbiology. Four years later, you completed your studies with the highest honors, earning your medical degree. You could have pursued further studies, but that year, your father passed away from lung cancer, leaving you without financial support. You couldn¡¯t continue your education, so you chose to stay at the school and quietly focus on your microbiology research. At twenty-one, you met your senior, Cai Tingting, and experienced your first love, which remains your only love to this day.¡±


    Hearing this, Lin Fan''s breathing became rapid, his facial features distorted, and he struggled in pain. He shook his head, signaling Professor Wang to stop talking.


    However, inside the room, Professor Wang didn''t stop narrating at all.


    "Unfortunately, when you were 24 years old, just when your love was about to bear fruit and you were on the eve of entering the marriage hall, your lover, Cai Tingting, fell ill with a strange disease. Half a year later, she passed away too. After she left you, to conceal the sadness in your heart, you chose to pursue postgraduate studies. You''re highly intelligent and very smart. What others needed four years to complete in their studies, you finished in just two years. Last year, you were arranged to do an internship in our hospital and became my last disciple."


    "Lin Fan, answer me. When you saw your father and your girlfriend leaving you, didn''t you feel so useless and helpless? How much you wished they could come back to you again? If so, nod your head for me."


    The whole room was filled with Professor Wang''s thunderous voice. In Lin Fan''s eyes, big teardrops, like broken strings of pearls, fell down in torrents. Nevertheless, he still obediently nodded his head.


    "Very good. The research I''m conducting is to unlock the essence of human life. I believe you will continue my research. Lin Fan, will you blame me for doing this?"


    "No," Lin Fan answered. Only then did he realize that Professor Wang inside the glass room couldn''t hear his reply at all. So he shook his head.


    "Lin Fan, look carefully. This is the result of my research, a drug that I''ve named ''Zombie-Killer''." Wang Yuan picked up a glass bottle from the table. It wasn''t much different from the powder injections seen in the hospital.


    "It''s in powder form. I''ll dilute it with sterilized water for injection and then inject it into the corpse. You should watch my next experiment carefully." This time, Wang Yuan went back to the second room.

 Horrible Experiment

    Wang Yuan lifted the layer of white cloth. Underneath the cloth was indeed a cold corpse. Judging from the head of the corpse, it was a female corpse that had already started to decay.


    In the medical profession, saving lives and healing the wounded is their bounden duty. However, with the current development of medicine, the medical community is helpless in dealing with many diseases. Therefore, death always lingers around doctors.


    Doctors, who are accustomed to seeing so many partings and deaths, no longer have the slightest fear that ordinary people would have when facing a cold corpse. Both Wang Yuan and Lin Fan had calm expressions on their faces.


    Wang Yuan took out a large bundle of ropes from under the iron bed. They were all nylon steel ropes. After comparing them with the terrifying wolfhound in the third room, for safety reasons, it was necessary to fix the female corpse in front of them onto the iron bed first.


    Wang Yuan used the nylon steel ropes to firmly bind the female corpse''s body to the iron bed. After finishing all these preparatory work, Wang Yuan took out the "Zombie-Killer" and the sterilized water for injection, filled a disposable syringe with the drug, and didn''t forget to remind, "The dosage of ''Zombie-Killer'' is very crucial. You must be careful about this when you conduct experiments in the future."


    Wang Yuan directly injected this syringe into the blood vessel on the back of the female corpse''s rigid hand. After the injection, Wang Yuan put down the equipment and sat aside to observe.


    "Lin Fan, if this female corpse wakes up and regains consciousness, then I''ll have a way to treat myself. If, I say if, she wakes up as a walking corpse, then I''ll know what to do with myself. I believe you understand this too."


    Lin Fan nodded and couldn''t help but look up to the sky and pray in his heart, "I hope this drug can treat the virus on Professor Wang." But at the same time, out of awe and consideration for human ethics: Once this succeeds and people can be resurrected after death, how absurd that would be.


    "I''ve placed the microphone on the female corpse''s chest. You can also listen to her abnormal movements." Professor Wang took off the microphone and pinned it to the collar of the female corpse.


    "Crack! Crack!"


    Lin Fan heard the crisp sound of bones coming from behind. Obviously, it came from the bones of the female corpse.


    Suddenly, the female corpse opened her eyes. Wang Yuan was startled by this sudden change and involuntarily took a small step back with his feet, almost falling to the ground.


    "Um..." The female corpse suddenly let out a low moan in her mouth. Her hands suddenly straightened and tried to lift up, but were firmly fixed by the nylon steel ropes on her body. She wanted to move but had no chance at all.


    Wang Yuan held onto the stool beside him and managed to stand up. He slowly walked to the side of the female corpse. Needless to say, anyone could tell at a glance that the female corpse had no consciousness at all. It was the same as the wolfhound in the third room, both were walking corpses without their original consciousness.


    Electroencephalograms and electrocardiograms were of no use here at all.


    Wang Yuan sat quietly for a while and then carefully took the microphone into his hand. He looked up at Lin Fan, and his face looked extremely pale, as if he had just walked back from the gate of hell.


    "Alas, Lin Fan, you can probably tell that my experiment has failed."


    Lin Fan couldn''t bear to see this scene. His eyes widened in horror. He didn''t know what Professor Wang''s way of dealing with it was after he said the experiment had failed. He could only sit there quietly, unable to do anything. This kind of pain made Lin Fan''s heart suffer greatly.Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.


    The whole scene fell into a deathly silence again. After a while, Wang Yuan said, "Lin Fan, go and take out the disk from the camera, and then take it away together with the materials I gave you. I don''t want you to see my way of dealing with it. That would make you very sad."


    Lin Fan shouted loudly, "Professor Wang, what on earth are you going to do! You let me go, but what about you? Come out first. Maybe things aren''t as bad as you think. Let''s think of a way together. We can definitely find a breakthrough."


    Wang Yuan could only stare blankly outside the glass at Lin Fan''s anxious face. But he couldn''t hear a word of what Lin Fan said. A piece of glass divided this place into two different worlds. For Wang Yuan, the world outside the glass was no more worthy of his nostalgia than the world inside the glass.


    Lin Fan pounded on the glass for a while. Knowing that it was all in vain, he still didn''t stop, and his mood sank to the lowest point.


    "Lin Fan, stand up!"


    Wang Yuan suddenly shouted loudly inside. Lin Fan was startled and looked up.


    "Lin Fan, control your emotions and show your courage. I don''t want my disciple to see me off in such a tearful way. Do you understand!"


    Lin Fan sobbed twice and once again recalled the scenes when he saw his father and Cai Tingting off before in his mind.


    His father said, "Son, don''t cry. I''m just going to heaven to accompany your mother. We''ll watch your growth in that world. You''re a man. You should learn to be strong!"


    Cai Tingting said, "Lin Fan, don''t cry. I''m just turning around and going to another strange world. You still have a long way to go in the future. You must take good care of yourself, find a nice girl, and live a happy life. I''ll bless you from heaven."


    Lin Fan reached out to take off his glasses, wiped away his tears, and then stood respectfully in front of the glass and bowed deeply to Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan couldn''t hear his voice. Only his actions could express the deep respect in Lin Fan''s heart for Wang Yuan.


    Seeing this, Wang Yuan smiled, secretly turned around, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then picked up a syringe from the shelf in front of him, drew a tube of "Zombie-Killer" into it, placed it on his wrist, wiped it with alcohol for disinfection, and then injected it into the blood vessel of his arm.


    Lin Fan watched all this indifferently and then turned around. He put his feet on the square table and took down the camera, took out the disk inside. It took only two or three minutes.


    Wang Yuan put down the syringe and calmly lay on the chair beside the iron bed, closed his eyes, as if falling asleep.


    Lin Fan quietly observed for a short while and didn''t see Wang Yuan wake up. He quickly stepped forward and entered the password number "780101" on the door. As a result, the words "Please touch the screen with five fingers" were displayed on the display screen. Lin Fan also put his left hand on it, spread his five fingers, and gently pressed it in the fingerprint recognition area, just like the way Wang Yuan did when he went in.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" At this time, a voice sounded in the room: "Abnormality detected. The destruction device is activated. Please step back. Please step back."


    Lin Fan''s eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn''t believe that these situations had already been set up by Wang Yuan. If either the password or the fingerprint recognition was incorrect, it would be equivalent to activating the destruction device.


    Did Wang Yuan notice beforehand that Lin Fan was peeping at the password?


    The noise suddenly woke up Wang Yuan inside. Lin Fan found that Wang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes at this time.


    "Ah!" Wang Yuan, who had just woken up, had blood-red eyes and his body swayed mechanically, which was very different from his usual self.


    Wang Yuan suddenly turned around, looked at the corpse struggling hard on the iron bed, and suddenly pounced on it. He opened his mouth and bit down on the neck of the corpse!


    Lin Fan was horrified by this terrifying scene. He staggered and fell to the ground, and the disk and materials in his hands were scattered all over the floor.


    Obviously, Wang Yuan himself had also become a walking corpse, a zombie!


    Lin Fan hurriedly got up, quickly picked up the scattered materials on the ground, and his heart was pounding: "Damn it, Professor Wang has turned out like this."


    And the warning sound from the machine on the roof of the house kept ringing. At this time, it changed to another sentence: "There is one minute left. The destruction device will be activated. Now the countdown: 59, 58..."


    Lin Fan finally picked up all the materials with great difficulty, stood up, and seemed to see a large number of figures shaking on the side. His heart was beating wildly: "What''s going on? What''s going on? Am I seeing things? What on earth is this place?"


    Lin Fan suddenly turned around to look. In the fourth room, suddenly, many zombies emerged from the ground. Presumably, they were all woken up by the alarm sound and stood up together. Lin Fan took a quick look and saw that there were at least fifty or sixty corpses. Why were they all concentrated in the fourth room?

 Basement Breakout

    Lin Fan was startled by the "spectacular" scene in front of him. When he took a closer look, he saw that the zombies in the fourth room were all pounding on the door, struggling hard to break out.


    But at this moment, in the fifth room, a huge figure also stood up. Lin Fan was stunned on the spot by this big thing.


    It was a bare-chested man. However, what was strange was that this man was over two meters tall and had an unusually burly figure. It was as if a strong young man had his body deliberately magnified by more than double with a magnifying glass.


    The man''s eyes were blood-red, and his hands were raised upward. But he found that he was bound by iron chains. It seemed that, in order not to let him cause harm to others, it was necessary to restrain him with iron chains like the wolfhound.


    The giant kept waving his hands, but the iron chains bound his hands so that his palms couldn''t get close and could only be raised a little higher in the air.


    Lin Fan was full of curiosity about the laboratory inside the glass, but the situation was critical at the moment, and it wasn''t the time to study this. He took a look at Wang Yuan, who had already turned into a zombie, picked up the materials, and strode towards the outside. At this time, the number in the alarm sound had already counted down to 25.


    Just as Lin Fan reached the gate, he suddenly heard a loud noise. Judging from the sound, it came from the laboratory inside the building. Lin Fan was shocked in his heart: "Could it be that some zombies have broken through the defense and already shattered the glass?"


    A few seconds after the noise, a very pungent stench of decay immediately rushed into Lin Fan''s nostrils. Lin Fan felt his stomach churning and was very uncomfortable. Fortunately, he was able to forcibly suppress this vomiting reaction. Now that he thought about it, the strange smell he had smelled before should have come from the zombie room. He just didn''t know where the specific gap was.


    Lin Fan immediately pressed the six numbers "871010" on the password gate, and the gate opened with a rumble. Lin Fan rushed out in one stride. Unexpectedly, at this time, the alarm sound suddenly stopped, and the warning that had been counting down before also stopped suddenly.


    While the elevator was still closing, all the fluorescent lights in the basement kept making a "sizzling" sound. Finally, it was completely dark! The elevator also stopped closing, and the door was just half closed.


    Lin Fan was startled in his heart and couldn''t help cursing: "Damn it, what should I do? It''s completely turned into hell."


    Lin Fan didn''t have time to hesitate. He quickly climbed out of the elevator. What else could he do at this moment? Of course, he had to climb the stairs to get out. But he felt that the unpleasant smell rushed towards him all at once.


    Lin Fan covered his mouth and rushed forward in one stride. With the faint light emitted by the green signs on the fire escape, Lin Fan quickly found the pedestrian passage. This passage was not on the side of the elevator but was found after going around a long distance in front.


    "Boom!" Just as Lin Fan was about to go upstairs, a loud noise came from behind. It seemed that the destruction device had already been activated!


    A large piece of stone debris fell in front of Lin Fan. Lin Fan looked back and saw that thick smoke was billowing behind him and sweeping over. Immediately after that, he also heard a series of low muffled explosion sounds. Presumably, some of the reagent materials in the laboratory were also explosive substances.


    Lin Fan didn''t have time to hesitate anymore. He covered his mouth and rushed upstairs hurriedly.


    Lin Fan''s location was on the fifth basement floor of the hospital, which was also the lowest floor of the basement. Before, this was a group of abandoned rooms. He didn''t know when Professor Wang started to make reasonable use of them and turned them into his private laboratory. From the first basement floor to the fourth basement floor, the drug display rooms occupied two floors, and the remaining two floors were the autopsy room and the equipment storage room respectively.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.


    Lin Fan suddenly remembered those corpses in Professor Wang''s laboratory. They had all turned into zombies. He didn''t know if the explosion just now had wiped out all those zombies. What if there were still two movable ones? Would they rush to the fourth basement floor to eat the corpses? More importantly, would they turn the corpses on the fourth floor into zombies like them? This was a hospital, and there were hundreds of corpses in different states on the fourth basement floor.


    Thinking of this, Lin Fan immediately felt his scalp tingle. Didn''t Professor Wang consider these unexpected situations when conducting this experiment? Perhaps this was also one of the reasons why Professor Wang said before that he was a sinner.


    Lin Fan finally rushed to the fourth basement floor. He crouched down and took a short break in the stairwell. Then he calmed down and listened to see if there was any abnormal movement downstairs. After listening for a minute and finding no movement at all, Lin Fan finally felt relieved and thought to himself, "It seems that I was just overthinking."


    Lin Fan rushed to the first floor out of breath and found that the first floor was as bright as day, with no sign of a power outage or lights going out at all. However, it was already past one o''clock in the morning, and the whole hospital was very quiet.


    Lin Fan rushed into the toilet and looked at himself in the mirror. His face was dirty, just like a person fleeing from a disaster. Lin Fan gave himself a wry smile, tidied up his clothes a little, and then walked out of the toilet.


    "What should I do with the things in the basement? No, after I put these materials at home, I must go back to the scene and clean up the basement. I can''t let others discover Professor Wang''s secrets. Otherwise, his lifelong reputation will be ruined."


    When Lin Fan came out of the hospital, Zhang Meng, the nurse on duty at the hospital entrance, looked up and was very surprised: "Eh, Doctor Lin, you haven''t left yet?"


    Lin Fan smiled awkwardly, went up to have a casual conversation with her, told a lie, and then walked out of the hospital gate.


    Around the hospital entrance, neon lights were everywhere. The whole night sky was as bright as day, with a brilliant starry sky and a prosperous scene. It was a peaceful and harmonious scene of singing and dancing. No one would have thought that such terrifying things were stored in the basement of this Municipal People''s Hospital!


    Lin Fan stopped a taxi on the way and headed towards the direction of his rental house. In the car, the driver joked, "You doctors are really hardworking. You must have encountered some emergency cases, right? Why are you going home so late?"


    "Not too bad." Lin Fan smiled and was quite surprised at the driver''s observation ability. He asked instead, "Master, I''m just a passerby at the hospital entrance. How did you know I''m a doctor?"


    "Hehe, I have a very sharp nose. I smelled the disinfectant on you."


    Lin Fan smiled and suddenly felt worried in his heart: "I stayed in that laboratory for a while. I don''t know if there''s the stench of rotting corpses on me."


    Lin Fan slammed the door shut, put all the materials in his wardrobe, then picked out a slightly old piece of clothing, changed into it casually, closed the door again, and then turned back towards the hospital.


    "Alas, Nurse Zhang, look at my memory. I forgot to take something and I''m back again." Lin Fan pushed the door open and walked into the hospital, smiling at the nurse on duty.


    Nurse Zhang Meng was in good spirits. It was already past two o''clock in the morning, but she was still playing a card game in front of the computer. When she saw Lin Fan coming back, she also smiled and replied casually, "I should have asked you to buy me a midnight snack if I had known you were coming back. What''s so important? It''s already past two o''clock. Couldn''t you come and get it tomorrow morning?"


    Zhang Meng stretched her hands, rubbed her eyes, and then found that Lin Fan''s figure had disappeared in front of her eyes in a flash. Zhang Meng looked at the back of Lin Fan disappearing and sighed in her heart: "Alas, what a nice boy. Why doesn''t he have a crush on me?"


    Zhang Meng smacked her lips, with a disappointed look on her face. She put her hands into the two pockets in the front of her nurse''s uniform and strode forward to see if the barbecue shop at the hospital entrance was closed.


    Lin Fan returned to his office, took out the key to the hazardous reagent room. The hazardous reagent room was full of dangerous chemical substances, including strong acids, strong alkalis, mercury, lead and other easily poisoned items.


    This was originally under the custody of two people. Lin Fan was a doctor in the laboratory department and wasn''t too familiar with it. However, Lin Fan had been to the hazardous reagent room twice before. He had secretly watched the custodian''s operation of the password and remembered it at that time. He had stored the password in his secret notebook.


    In the hospital, many drugs and reagents were under the mandatory control of the state. For example, psychotropic and narcotic drugs must have red and green prescriptions and be kept under the double-check custody of two people. And doctors without the prescription authority for such drugs were not qualified to prescribe prescriptions containing these drugs.


    When Lin Fan entered this hospital, he had already figured out all these situations. He could completely remember all the passwords just by taking a quick look. Yes, Lin Fan had an extraordinary memory and imitation ability.


    Lin Fan picked up the key and went directly to the door of the hazardous reagent room. He looked around and found that there was a hidden hole camera on the opposite wall, which was aimed right.

 Zombie Infestation

    This was really no ordinary reagent room. Although the maintenance staff cleaned it every day, when walking in, one could still smell a pungent odor. Lin Fan couldn''t care about these things at the moment. He went directly to the strong acid reagent rack, opened the cabinet, took out five bottles of concentrated sulfuric acid with a volume of 1,000 milliliters each and three bottles of concentrated hydrochloric acid with a volume of 1,000 milliliters each, and put them in the basket beside him. Then he got up, closed the door of the reagent room properly, and walked towards the direction of the pedestrian staircase.


    Lin Fan slapped his head and cursed himself for being so muddle-headed. He had to put down the basket at the passageway and quickly turned around to go back to his office to get a flashlight.


    When Lin Fan rushed back to the original place in a hurry and shone the flashlight at the passageway, he was startled. The basket was gone!


    There were eight bottles of strong acid solutions in the basket. These reagents were all controlled reagents. Who could have taken the things away in such a short time? It was already past two thirty in the morning, and no other people were found in the corridor. Who on earth was it?


    Lin Fan summoned up his courage and shone the flashlight randomly in the corridor. To his surprise, he found that the basket had already reached the side of the platform on the next flight of stairs, and the eight bottles of strong acid solutions were still there intact. The basket definitely couldn''t have flown down there by itself. Someone must have done something.


    Lin Fan tiptoed down the stairs, shone the flashlight to look inside the basket, and saw that the reagents he had put in were still there and hadn''t been swapped. Lin Fan immediately stood up and shouted, "Who is it? Please come out."


    "Doctor Lin, what are you doing with these things so late at night?" A woman''s voice suddenly rang out from the passageway above. Lin Fan immediately shone the flashlight over there. The woman quickly reached out to block the strong light. "I''m Zhang Meng. Put the flashlight down."


    When Lin Fan saw that it was her, he was so surprised that his mouth opened wide. This little nurse, he really hadn''t paid much attention to her usually. He didn''t expect that she would dare to come to this dark place alone in the middle of the night. It seemed that she was really brave.


    "It''s you. Aren''t you on duty? Why are you here?" Lin Fan didn''t want her to follow him down. The things down there couldn''t be seen by outsiders.


    "I bought some barbecue at the barbecue shop outside and wanted to ask you to have some together. Unexpectedly, when I came over, I saw you rush into this passageway in a hurry, and then saw you run out from inside in a short while, as if you were in a hurry."


    "Oh, I see. Thank you. I''m not hungry for now. You can go back first. I''ll go home after I finish my work."


    "I saw that there was strong acid in your basket. What are you doing with so much strong acid reagent?" Zhang Meng asked curiously.


    "You already know?" Lin Fan put down the basket, rushed up in two or three steps, faced Zhang Meng, and whispered in her ear, "Can you help me keep this secret?"


    It was the first time that Zhang Meng had talked so closely with Lin Fan. Lin Fan''s breath blew on her ear, giving her a ticklish feeling. She nodded sweetly, "I won''t tell anyone. But can you tell me what you''re going to do with these?"


    "Sorry, it''s not that I don''t want to tell you, but as you know, these things are all prohibited reagents, and I''m in urgent need of them..."


    "Oh, I understand. It''s okay if you don''t want to say. I trust you." Zhang Meng nodded understandingly and then giggled, "Your footsteps were so fast just now. I originally hid here to scare you, but you rushed down with a thud. Okay, I won''t disturb you. Go and do your work quickly. When you''re done, come to the front desk. I''ve reserved some barbecue for you. You should at least have some."The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    Lin Fan could feel that this little nurse was very considerate of him. However, at this time, Lin Fan didn''t pay attention to these things at all. He just hoped that Zhang Meng would leave quickly. When he saw her turn around and leave, Lin Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly replied, "Okay, I''ve remembered. You should go back to the front desk quickly. It''ll be troublesome if there''s an emergency patient."


    "Um, I don''t know what''s going on downstairs. It seems that there''s a power outage. Be careful when you walk with the flashlight on." Zhang Meng nodded behind him and didn''t forget to remind Lin Fan before leaving.


    "I know. Thanks for your kindness. Okay, I''m leaving." Lin Fan rushed down with a thud, picked up the basket, and walked downstairs.


    When he reached the stairwell on the fourth basement floor, he put down the basket and moved his wrists a bit. To be honest, these eight bottles of concentrated acid solutions were quite heavy.


    "Thud, thud." Lin Fan clearly heard the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor on the fourth basement floor behind him.


    Suddenly, Lin Fan had a bad premonition in his heart. In the middle of the night, how could there still be people in the corridor? It was absolutely impossible. Lin Fan turned off the flashlight, crouched down quietly to listen, and the sound of the footsteps became more and more obvious. Moreover, it was obviously not the footsteps of just one person. The steps were messy, clearly belonging to multiple people!


    Lin Fan quietly tiptoed forward and walked into the corridor on the fourth basement floor. In fact, there were more than a hundred rooms on this floor, and all of them were filled with corpses of various ages soaked in formalin! There were a total of more than five hundred corpses!


    Lin Fan quietly walked to the corner. That was the main corridor on the fourth basement floor. When he used to lead others to store corpses, he often moved around in this corridor.


    Lin Fan crouched down and quietly poked his head out. Unfortunately, it was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn''t see any objects at all. In this corridor where one couldn''t see their fingers even when stretching out their hands, the sound of the thudding footsteps was really unbearable.


    Lin Fan took a long breath to boost his courage in his heart. When he found that the footsteps had moved a little further away from him, he suddenly turned on the flashlight switch!


    A beam of light directly illuminated the corridor in front. Lin Fan was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him. In the corridor, fragments of human bodies and traces of blood and flesh could be seen everywhere. More than ten zombies close to him all turned their heads to look at the position where Lin Fan was shining the light. They were very sensitive to light!


    Lin Fan immediately stood up and rushed towards the direction of the pedestrian corridor. When passing by the door of the passageway, he remembered the basket he had brought. He shone the flashlight over there and saw a huge zombie squatting beside the basket, looking down curiously at the concentrated acid in the basket.


    That huge zombie left a deep impression in Lin Fan''s mind. It was exactly the giant zombie locked with iron chains in the fifth room of Professor Wang''s private laboratory!


    Just one look at it would leave a deep impression in one''s mind! Why weren''t they all dead? Did the destruction device on the fifth basement floor have no effect on it? Also, had Professor Wang''s corpse also turned into a zombie?


    A lot of questions suddenly emerged in Lin Fan''s mind. Unfortunately, at this moment, it was definitely not the time to ask these questions. Lin Fan rushed upstairs at a fast pace, thinking in horror, "What should I do? What should I do? This is a typical case of zombies breaking loose!"


    "Smash!" Suddenly, the giant zombie picked up a bottle of concentrated acid with its right hand and threw it in Lin Fan''s direction. Its movement showed no sign of stiffness at all, no different from an ordinary person throwing something!


    "Bang!" The bottle of concentrated acid shattered on the ground. The concentrated acid splashed on the ground and immediately corroded the ground. A large cloud of thick smoke rose up and filled the whole passageway.


    Lin Fan''s right foot just stepped on some concentrated acid. He felt that his foot was constantly smoking. After quickly climbing up two flights of stairs, he shone the flashlight over. The concentrated acid had completely melted the right boot, and his toes were exposed. Lin Fan couldn''t care about these anymore. He quickly took off the shoe and threw it at the giant zombie downstairs.


    "Ah!" At this time, a shrill scream of a zombie came from the downstairs direction. The sound was extremely harsh and instantly spread throughout the whole floor. Lin Fan shone the flashlight downstairs and saw clearly that many zombies had stepped on the concentrated acid with their feet, and the concentrated acid directly melted the flesh of the zombies, exposing their ghastly white foot bones.


    And the one that let out the scream was the giant zombie. The other zombies didn''t know pain at all and just kept chasing upstairs. The zombies in front with their white bones under their feet tripped the zombies that wanted to continue chasing behind them.


    The hands of the giant zombie showed its white and ghastly bones. With a loud shout, it quickly ran into the corridor on the fourth basement floor as if it was conscious.


    Lin Fan was dumbfounded by this strange giant zombie!

 Armageddon is Approaching

    "Smack!" Lin Fan rushed up to the first floor and quickly closed the door of the pedestrian corridor. However, this Municipal People''s Hospital was, after all, a top-tier Class-A hospital and the largest hospital in the city. There were a total of three pedestrian staircases leading to the basement in all directions.


    "Huh? What are you doing?" A man''s voice sounded behind Lin Fan. Lin Fan quickly turned around and saw a middle-aged man with an injured arm. Needless to say, this man was probably a patient in the hospital who was bored in the middle of the night and happened to walk here by accident.


    Lin Fan''s face darkened. There was no time to explain at the moment. Lin Fan quickly waved his right hand, urgently needing his assistance at this moment.


    "Quick, quick! Go to the front and close the door to the basement entrance. Hurry up!"


    "What? Why should I close the door? And I don''t even know how to get to the basement." The man was curious when he saw Lin Fan''s anxious look. He scratched his head and said with a puzzled expression.


    "Alas, go and notify the patients in the inpatient department. The hospital is in a critical situation tonight and all of them need to be transferred to another hospital for treatment. Tell them to get up quickly and leave the hospital." Lin Fan sighed. In his heart, he had to admit that he was the one who knew the entrances to all parts of the hospital best. Asking a patient for help was just like seeking medical treatment blindly when sick, which was unreliable.


    "Hey, I say, young man, who on earth are you? Sneaking around in the hospital in the middle of the night. Aren''t you a thief?" The middle-aged man ignored Lin Fan''s words and just looked at Lin Fan curiously. When he noticed that Lin Fan was barefoot and rushed towards him with thudding footsteps, he quickly reached out his right hand and caught Lin Fan.


    Lin Fan turned his wrist, exerted a sudden downward force with his hand, and immediately broke free from the middle-aged man''s grip. "Ouch!" The middle-aged man was thrown to the ground by Lin Fan.


    The middle-aged man stood up angrily and immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed the three numbers 110: "Hello? Is this the police station? I''m in the lobby on the first floor of the Municipal People''s Hospital and I found a thief..."


    Lin Fan ran for a while and was out of breath. Finally, he tightly closed the three doors and then crouched on the ground, gasping for breath. He also took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed 110.


    "Hello? Is this the police station? I''m currently in the lobby on the first floor of the Municipal People''s Hospital. There''s an emergency situation at the Municipal People''s Hospital and we need a lot of police officers to come and assist."


    "Okay. We''ve already received an alarm call before and have dispatched a group of police officers. They''re already driving towards the Municipal People''s Hospital."


    Lin Fan hung up the phone and muttered to himself, "Who called the police? Could the police predict it in advance?"


    "Lin Fan, what are you doing there? Come here quickly. I''ve reserved some midnight snack for you."


    Lin Fan looked up and saw Zhang Meng shouting loudly at him from the door of the duty room at the front desk entrance. Lin Fan responded and suddenly remembered that there was an emergency evacuation alarm device in the duty room before.


    "Hey, where''s the emergency evacuation alarm device in the hospital? Could you tell me?" Lin Fan rushed into the duty room in a flustered manner, looked around with his eyes, and quickly took in the whole scene of the duty room. He didn''t see any evacuation alarm device in the room.


    Although he didn''t find the device, he found a pair of sports shoes in the corner. No matter whose they were, Lin Fan walked over and put them on. After putting them on, he moved his feet a bit and found that they fit just right.


    "What are you doing? Why are you sweating so much? And you''re still barefoot. The alarm device is broken today and has been taken for repair." Zhang Meng looked up and was surprised to see Lin Fan''s hasty appearance, with her mouth wide open.


    "Damn it! I can''t believe I''m so unlucky. I really admire myself." Lin Fan couldn''t help slapping his forehead when he heard that the device was broken, with a look of extreme disappointment on his face. "Nothing much. I need these shoes urgently for now. Quick, quickly notify all the people in the hospital to leave the hospital immediately. The hospital is very dangerous."


    After saying this, Lin Fan was about to rush out again. Unexpectedly, the patient with the injured arm also arrived at the door and was about to grab Lin Fan, shouting loudly, "You thief, where do you think you''re running to?"You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.


    The middle-aged man glanced into the duty room and saw that the nurse hadn''t been violated at all. His eyes widened and he realized that he had been wrong.


    Suddenly, at this time, the siren outside blared loudly. Five police cars had already arrived at the gate. The Municipal People''s Hospital wasn''t too far from the police station, and it usually took less than five minutes to get there.


    Lin Fan broke free from the middle-aged man''s arm. "Who''s the thief? Oh, I see. So it was you who called the police."


    "Who called the police?" Two police officers had already entered the lobby and just happened to see the entanglement between Lin Fan and the middle-aged man.


    "I did!"


    Lin Fan and the middle-aged man almost answered at the same time.


    "Who''s the thief?" The two police officers looked at each other in confusion, and one of them shouted loudly.


    "Boom!" Suddenly, the door at the end of the left corridor made a loud noise as if something heavy was pounding on it! Needless to say, something was pounding hard on it outside!


    "Oh no! That big zombie is about to come out. Police officers, how many of you are there? Did you bring weapons?" Lin Fan broke free from the middle-aged man''s entanglement and quickly rushed to the side of the middle-aged police officer on the left to ask.


    The two police officers heard something pounding on the door and also curiously turned their heads to look over. The middle-aged police officer stared at Lin Fan with wide eyes and asked, "Young man, you look so flustered in the middle of the night. Are you a bad guy?"


    "There are zombies! The zombies are coming out!" Lin Fan quickly said. At this moment, it was definitely not the time to explain his situation.


    "This is a hospital, not a science fiction movie like you think!" The middle-aged police officer reprimanded loudly and then said to the young police officer on the right, "Go and take a look to see what it is. It''s so late at night. How can people sleep?"


    "Don''t go! It''s really zombies. I beg you. Take out your weapons quickly, or something really bad will happen." Lin Fan didn''t care about his dignity and said a bunch of words, but these two police officers remained unmoved. Lin Fan shifted his gaze to the waists of the two police officers: Damn it! These two police officers only had electric batons with them and no other lethal weapons.


    "Doctor Lin, what''s wrong with you?" Zhang Meng had been standing aside all the time, looking at all this in surprise. When she heard Lin Fan''s words, she thought it was funny. Not long ago, she had just been to the entrance of that passageway. How could there be zombies in such a short time? It was completely absurd. However, looking at Lin Fan''s disheveled appearance, it didn''t seem like he was joking. Moreover, in Zhang Meng''s heart, Lin Fan, as a doctor, was a serious person who didn''t joke around.


    Zombies were extremely terrifying and disgusting things. Just thinking of this word made Zhang Meng''s whole body covered with goosebumps. She remembered that she had watched some European and American blockbusters before, like the "Resident Evil" series of movies. Even though she was much braver than ordinary girls, she was still startled by the bloody scenes in the movies. The shadow of the terrifying plots in the movies lingered.


    "Nurse Zhang, leave here quickly. It''s very dangerous here. I''ll go upstairs to notify the patients. It''ll be too late if we''re late." Lin Fan didn''t care about their astonishment. Before leaving, he turned around and shouted at the two police officers, "Don''t open the door no matter what. Wait for me to come back. You must wait for me." After saying that, Lin Fan rushed upstairs with a thud, leaving behind several people with astonished looks on their faces.


    "Nurse Zhang, is he really a doctor?" The patient with the injured arm immediately asked Zhang Meng.


    "Um, he''s Doctor Lin from the laboratory department of our hospital."


    "Was it you who reported the case just now? Said that young man was a thief?"


    "Uh, police officers, I''m really sorry about this..."


    "Smack!"


    Finally, the door was forced open by the force from behind it. The young police officer was still on his way to the end of the corridor, thinking to himself that Lin Fan''s words were nonsense: "Could it be that a patient was locked down there? Why didn''t I hear him shouting?"


    Who would have thought that once the door was broken, what came into view was a group of corpses, and among these corpses was a huge corpse, more than twice the size of an ordinary person!


    "Ah!"


    When Lin Fan was running to the second floor of the hospital department, he heard Zhang Meng''s shrill scream coming from downstairs. Lin Fan stopped in his tracks with a thud, and a bad premonition rose in his heart: "Oh no! Those zombie hordes have finally broken through the door defense! Those police officers, I hope they can wipe out those zombies. Saving people is the top priority now. There''s no time to worry about anything else."


    "Everyone, run! The hospital has encountered an emergency situation and all patients need to leave the hospital immediately!" Lin Fan rushed into each department office. Whether they were sleeping or playing on the computer, he rushed over in one stride and slapped them twice to wake them up.


    Lin Fan knew that in the eyes of his colleagues, he had become a madman!


    "Ah!" Many screams came one after another from all parts of the hospital. After a period of intense exercise, Lin Fan also felt tired. At this time, he had already run to the third floor, which was the inpatient department!


    Lin Fan saw that the whole hospital was in an unprecedented panic. He crouched in the corridor, and many patients had already started to organize themselves spontaneously and flee in a panic! The fleeing crowd showed an unprecedented level of madness!


    The sounds of trampling, falling, shouting for help, and screaming grew louder and louder. The hospital was no longer a paradise for saving lives and healing the wounded but had become a hell with corpses everywhere! Between heaven and hell, there was only a shallow gap!


    The atrocities of the zombies had completely spread on the first floor. It wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say that there was blood flowing like a river and corpses lying everywhere. There was no need for Lin Fan to go upstairs to notify the people in those rooms personally anymore, as they had already organized themselves to flee spontaneously.

 Trailblazer

    Lin Fan walked straight to the door of the reagent room. He suddenly kicked out, and with a "smack" sound, the door was immediately damaged.


    Lin Fan quickly slipped inside, then took out three more bottles of concentrated acid from inside. Recalling that the giant zombie was also afraid of these chemical reagents, at present, this was the only thing that could deal with the zombies.


    Since the zombies were created by Professor Wang''s research, then let Lin Fan handle the aftermath. Hopefully, it wouldn''t be too late.


    "Ding, ding, ding!" Just at this moment, Lin Fan''s phone rang.


    Lin Fan looked at the number. It was an unfamiliar number. He thought to himself, "I don''t have many special friends in City S. At most, there are just two graduate school classmates, but I don''t have much contact with them and our relationship isn''t that good. Whose number could this be?"


    "Hello? Who is this?"


    "Hello, hello. Is this Doctor Lin Fan? I''m Zhang Meng, Nurse Zhang. Where are you now? Come out quickly, come out quickly! There are zombies everywhere. It''s very dangerous for you to still be inside. We all believe what you said now. I''m sorry. I shouldn''t have doubted you or made fun of you. Please don''t get into any trouble."


    Hearing these words, Lin Fan felt a warmth in his heart. There was actually someone who cared about him? Hehe, okay. He hadn''t even noticed that she had his mobile phone number.


    "Nurse Zhang, I''m safe now. Don''t worry. I can take care of myself. Are you all safe?"


    "Woohoo, woohoo. You big fool. Why did you rush upstairs? You knew there were zombies but still ran upstairs. Are you trying to die? Come down quickly. Woohoo, woohoo." Zhang Meng started crying on the other end of the phone.


    "What''s the situation like on the first floor now?"


    "These zombies are eating people everywhere. They bite whoever they see. They''re extremely fierce. Where exactly are you now? I saw... Ah!" Zhang Meng suddenly let out a scream.


    "Zhang Meng, Zhang Meng, hello, hello, Zhang Meng, what''s wrong?" Lin Fan''s heart immediately tensed up. Fragmented voices came from the other end of the phone: "Go away, go away, you damned zombies, go away."


    "Smack!" The phone dropped to the ground, and then the "beep" sound of the call being interrupted came from the other person''s phone.


    "Damn it! What should I do!" Lin Fan slapped his phone hard, knowing that Zhang Meng was in danger.


    Lin Fan looked at the wall and found a leather jacket, rubber gloves, and a helmet beside the table. These were the necessary wearing tools when pouring concentrated acid. Lin Fan quickly put them on, picked up the concentrated acid with his right hand, and rushed outside.


    "Ah, the zombies are coming upstairs. Everyone, run!" Two people suddenly rushed up from the side staircase with a thud. The person in the lead shouted loudly. Judging from their appearance, they should be patients in the hospital. And the corridor where Lin Fan was happened to be close to the staircase.


    "Ah, kid, what''s with your outfit? Hurry up and run." They rushed past Lin Fan in a hurry. When they saw Lin Fan''s outfit, they kindly reminded him and then ran towards the opposite staircase.


    Lin Fan shouted from behind, "Don''t run around randomly. Follow me. I''ll lead you to safety."


    The two of them were startled and immediately stopped in their tracks, turning their heads to look over.


    "I have concentrated acid in my hand. I can take you to a safe place. I''ll walk in the front, and you just follow closely behind me."


    "Concentrated acid? Is it useful against zombies?" The old man on the right asked curiously.


    "I know this stuff. It can melt a lot of things. It should be useful against zombies." The middle-aged man on the left immediately nodded. The two patients immediately followed behind Lin Fan.Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.


    "Hey, young man, be careful. Those zombies are extremely terrifying."


    "Do you know what the situation is downstairs now?"


    Both of them involuntarily shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they didn''t know the situation downstairs. It seemed that they had wanted to go downstairs but were chased upstairs by the zombies.


    "Ah, young man, look, the zombies are coming up." The old man was about to answer when he suddenly looked up and saw two zombies staggering and appearing opposite them. That was exactly the direction of the staircase.


    Lin Fan immediately turned his head and saw that the two zombies had remnants of human tissue in their mouths, and blood was flowing down from their mouths. Their bellies were already bulging. It seemed that they had just eaten a lot of human flesh.


    Lin Fan said to the two people behind him, "Don''t worry. I can deal with them." Lin Fan immediately pulled out the stopper of the concentrated acid bottle, aimed in the right direction, and directly poured it towards the tops of the two zombies'' heads!


    "Sizzle!"


    The concentrated acid spilled onto the tops of the zombies'' heads, as if on fire, producing a large cloud of smoke. In just a short while, their entire heads revealed their ghastly white bones! Their steps didn''t stop, and they continued walking forward, their mouths opening and closing, showing an extremely greedy look.


    Lin Fan put down the concentrated acid, took a wooden stick from the broken door of the reagent room, rushed forward in one breath, and made a hole in the heads of both zombies.


    Only then did the two zombies fall down with a look of unfinished business.


    "Ah!" The old patient''s forehead was dripping with sweat. Thinking about it, he had lived for sixty or seventy years, but in real life, he had never seen such a bloody and terrifying scene. At that moment, his head tilted to one side and he fainted.


    "Hey, hey, old man, wake up, wake up." The middle-aged man beside him wasn''t much better. There was a dripping sound coming from his crotch. He had been so scared that he wet himself.


    "Are you two okay?" Lin Fan turned around and asked.


    "It''s okay, it''s okay. Young man, the old man seems to be in a bad way." The middle-aged man had a mournful look on his face and sobbed.


    "Let me take a look." Lin Fan put down the wooden stick, took off his helmet, crouched down, and listened to the old man''s chest. Then he looked up and said, "He just fainted from fright. He''s okay. Come on, carry him on your back and follow me closely."


    "Ah, help!" At this time, a girl''s voice rang out in front. Lin Fan immediately stood up and looked up, only to see a zombie chasing after the girl non-stop.


    Lin Fan didn''t have time to hesitate. He quickly picked up the concentrated acid with one hand and the wooden stick with the other and rushed forward to meet it.


    "Come over to me." Lin Fan shouted to the girl, and then quickly dealt with this zombie in front of him. After two consecutive battles, Lin Fan was exhausted. He was panting, and his sweat had wet his glasses, making his vision a bit blurry.


    "It''s you." Lin Fan wiped the fog around the edges of his glasses and took a closer look at the girl in front of him. He recognized her.


    The girl''s name was Chen Lu. Two days ago, she came to the hospital alone to have an abortion. The gossipy doctors had already spread the personal file information about this girl. One of the doctors lamented like this: Alas, the world is really going crazy. Chen Lu is only seventeen years old and not yet an adult, but she already had a history of two abortions before.


    Although patients'' personal information was confidential content, it was only limited to the scope of moral quality. Inside the hospital, doctors and nurses'' topics of conversation revolved around various patients. The first person to discover this secret was a nurse, and of course, she was also the most gossipy nurse.


    "Woohoo, woohoo. You know me?" Chen Lu asked curiously. There were still tears all over her face. It seemed that the abnormal changes in the hospital had also scared her a lot.


    "Oh, you''re a patient in the hospital. I''m a doctor in this hospital. I''ve seen you before, but I didn''t know your name." Lin Fan replied casually.


    "My name is Chen Lu. I came to the hospital two days ago. I just had the operation today, and then this happened at night. Can you take me out of here?"


    "I''ll do my best to take you all out. By the way, you break this door open. Everyone, get a wooden stick for self-defense." Lin Fan glared at the middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man trembled as he stood up and finally managed to take down the broken door with great effort.


    "Chen Lu, right? Stop crying. Crying will attract more zombies." Lin Fan glared at Chen Lu and reminded her.


    "Okay." Chen Lu sobbed twice and managed to stop crying. She looked around and suddenly said, "Big brother, can we get out of here? Will we die here?"


    "No. I will definitely take you out." Lin Fan nodded to her firmly.


    "Thud, thud." In the stairwell, hurried footsteps came from the upstairs direction again. The hospital had a total of four floors. Logically speaking, upstairs was already the roof. Could there still be someone?


    When the first person rushing down from upstairs appeared in front of Lin Fan, even Chen Lu''s face showed a look of joy. The ones coming down from upstairs were a team of police officers carrying weapons and equipment.


    The middle-aged man in the lead quickly came to Lin Fan and said, "Are you all okay? Hurry up and go upstairs. There''s a helicopter waiting upstairs to pick you up. We''re trying to rescue more people."


    Hearing these words, Lin Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The middle-aged man who was splitting the door dropped the broken door panel with a thud and laughed happily, saying, "We''re saved!"

 Go Back

    "Go! You guys go upstairs quickly. There are people upstairs to rescue you." Lin Fan shouted to Chen Lu and the two patients behind him as he led the way.


    At the same time, Lin Fan turned back, took a slightly larger wooden stick from the broken wooden boards, grasped it in his hand, picked up the concentrated acid on the ground, and without putting on the helmet, he immediately turned around and ran downstairs.


    "Hey, big brother, aren''t you coming up?" Chen Lu asked from behind.


    "No, you guys go up quickly. It''s very dangerous here. I still have to go and save others." Lin Fan threw out these words and rushed downstairs with a thud.


    As soon as Lin Fan went downstairs, the sound of "bang, bang" gunshots came from the corridor on the third floor. Needless to say, it was the police officers who had just gone downstairs shooting the zombies in the corridor.


    The gunshots were very loud. In this enclosed hospital, the sound reverberated back and forth, and there was a buzzing sound in the ears.


    "Ah, there''s a huge monster here!" A police officer shouted.


    Hearing this, Lin Fan immediately thought of the giant zombie in the fifth room of the basement. That zombie had been attacked by concentrated acid before. Unexpectedly, it had run up to the third floor.


    "Bang, bang, bang!"


    When Lin Fan reached the corridor on the third floor, he saw three police officers lined up, pulling the triggers of their Rifles and aiming at the forehead of the giant zombie. Each of them fired three consecutive shots!


    The forehead of the giant zombie immediately burst open! Zombie blood splattered everywhere, and it was a gory mess.


    Lin Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "If the police officers hadn''t taken action, I really wouldn''t have known what to do."


    "How are you? Are you okay?" The three police officers put down their guns and quickly ran forward. It turned out that one of the police officers who had gone ahead to explore the way had been attacked by the giant zombie, and his right palm had been bitten off brutally. The scene was horrible!


    Lin Fan shouted from behind, "Please make way. I''m a doctor. I''ll give him emergency treatment!" Immediately, he remembered the words that Professor Wang had repeatedly reminded him of: "The virus spreads through blood!" The police officer in front of him had already been infected.


    The three police officers heard there was someone behind them and all turned their heads to look over. Recognizing Lin Fan, they immediately made way.


    Lin Fan looked around and asked, "Who among you has a knife?"


    "I do." A police officer on the left quickly took off the bayonet on the gun barrel and handed it to Lin Fan. "Do we also need to find alcohol to disinfect it?"


    "No need." Lin Fan stuffed his wooden stick into the police officer''s mouth and said in a commanding tone, "Bite it hard!"


    The police officer nodded and did as he was told. Lin Fan swung the knife in his right hand, and with a "click" sound, he cut off the entire right arm of the injured police officer. Blood immediately spurted out like a pillar.


    "Ah!" The police officer let out a shrill scream of pain. Fortunately, there was a wooden stick in his mouth, so the sound wasn''t too loud. The police officer couldn''t hold on for long and his head tilted to one side, and he fainted.


    "What are you doing!" A police officer in front exclaimed in horror. "Why did you cut off his arm?"


    Lin Fan didn''t pay any attention to him at all. Then he quickly tore off some cloth strips and bandaged the police officer''s arm so that he wouldn''t die from excessive bleeding.


    "I don''t have time to explain this now. There are still injured people ahead. You are police officers and you have weapons. Clear the way for me in front. Let''s try to rescue more injured people in the shortest time. Hurry up." Lin Fan suddenly stood up and was the first to rush forward.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    "Damn it! Who is this guy? He''s actually ordering us around?"


    "Let''s go, brother. What he said is right."


    The three police officers quickly packed up their gear and followed behind Lin Fan, running forward together.


    At the corner of the corridor, a bloody scene appeared in front of Lin Fan. Three zombies were kneeling on the ground. In their hands and mouths were human tissues. On the ground lay a mutilated corpse with internal organs scattered all over the place!


    "Damn it! These bastards! I''ll shoot them one by one and kill these guys." A police officer immediately raised his gun and aimed it at the head of one of the zombies, ready to shoot. But from behind, a shrill scream came: "Ah!"


    Everyone turned around together and was shocked by the scene in front of them: The police officer with the severed arm had woken up at some point and was now picking up his own severed arm and eating it voraciously! And the one who let out the scream was a man. Presumably, this man had been hiding in a certain room all along. It was only after hearing the gunshots in the building that he was sure the rescue team had arrived. He slowly crawled out of the room, only to encounter this terrifying scene.


    "Ah, Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, what is he doing?" The police officer in the middle position stared in horror, his eyes wide open. How could he accept that his good brother was eating his own arm?


    Lin Fan was also stunned by this scene and thought to himself, "We''ve only been away for less than two minutes, and he woke up on his own and is eating his own arm. Obviously, although I cut off his arm just now, the virus has already spread to his body quickly. He''s completely lost his sanity and turned into a walking corpse, a zombie! What''s strange is that how could the virus in his body spread so fast? When Professor Wang was injured on the neck, it didn''t happen for several hours, right?"


    "What are you standing there for! Kill him." Lin Fan put down the things in his hands, took a step forward, rushed over, turned his right hand, and directly snatched the pistol from the waist of the police officer on the left. Lin Fan wasn''t very proficient in firearms. After all, he had only seen them on TV before, and in the real world, he had only touched them once or twice during military training and had long forgotten about them.


    "What are you doing!" The police officer on the left raised his right hand and grabbed Lin Fan''s arm. "You''re a doctor. Tell me quickly, how can we save him?"


    "Bang!"


    Lin Fan accidentally fired the gun, and the bullet hit the ground.


    "There''s no way to save him." Lin Fan gritted his teeth, and immediately remembered the scene before Professor Wang''s death in his mind: "If ordinary people infected with the zombie virus could be cured, then Professor Wang wouldn''t have chosen to commit suicide back then. Moreover, this police officer turned into a zombie in less than two minutes. How strong the toxicity is! One can imagine."


    "Smack!" The police officer on the right also swung his arm and punched Lin Fan on the cheek. Lin Fan''s right hand loosened, and the pistol immediately dropped to the ground. His body was also knocked to the ground.


    "You want to kill a police officer? Who gave you permission to do that?"


    The three police officers in front of them all had an unspoken understanding. In their hearts, they reached a consensus: Forcefully tie up this police officer named Brother Cheng. It''s okay to kill the dead who turn into zombies, but it''s absolutely unacceptable to kill the living who are infected with the virus and turn into zombies. That was what they thought in their hearts.


    "What do you guys want to do?" Lin Fan got up, turned over, and asked.


    "Tie him up. He can definitely be cured." One of the police officers replied.


    "Then you three be careful."


    "Roar." At this time, the three zombies that were eating the corpse behind them all stood up. With so many living people in front of them, they naturally became their targets. They swayed, lifted their big bellies, and walked towards Lin Fan.


    Seeing that these three police officers were reluctant to kill the police officer who had turned into a zombie because of their comradeship, and Lin Fan couldn''t persuade them on his own for the time being, he could only comfort himself by thinking: The virus in this police officer''s body is worth studying carefully. Tying him up for the time being is also a good choice.


    Lin Fan turned around and happened to be face to face with the three zombies.


    "Hey, someone give me a gun." Lin Fan shouted to the police officers behind him.


    The police officer on the right shrugged. There was nothing he could do. Although this young man''s actions were a bit rough just now, the situation was critical, so it could be forgiven. Without thinking too much, he threw his waist pistol, a Type 92 pistol, over from the ground.


    Lin Fan immediately picked up the pistol, aimed at the leading zombie, pulled the slide, aimed at the zombie''s forehead, and fired a shot with a "bang!" The leading zombie was immediately dealt with.


    After firing the first shot, Lin Fan suddenly had great confidence in his shooting skills: Damn it! Although I haven''t touched this thing for many years, the foundation is still there! During the military training at school back then, although it was an old-fashioned rifle, I was also the shooting champion in the class in the test before the end of the military training. Even if I couldn''t hit the center of the eyebrow every time, I could still achieve a good score of eight rings. Among the three bullets at that time, two were eight rings and one was nine rings!


    The instructor back then also praised Lin Fan: "It''s a waste that this kid didn''t go to the police academy. He could have such awesome shooting skills when firing for the first time."

 Go Up to the Fifth Floor

    "Attention, all personnel still in the hospital. Attention, please. Those on the third floor and above, please go to the rooftop on the fourth floor as soon as possible. There are special operations team members there, and with their cooperation, they can take you to a safe area."


    At this time, a loud and powerful announcement came from outside the hospital through a loudspeaker. The sound was so loud that it immediately spread throughout the entire hospital.


    After Lin Fan fired three consecutive shots and dealt with the three zombies, he saw that the three police officers behind him took ropes from themselves. Those ropes were emergency ropes they used when climbing tall buildings and were very sturdy. The three police officers immediately tied the zombified Brother Cheng firmly to a stone pillar.


    Lin Fan and the three police officers looked at each other, all with wry smiles on their faces.


    "My name is Chen Tong, and I''m the captain of the Public Security Bureau''s Security Department. Young man, you have good shooting skills. Have you used a gun before?" They were all a bit tired and lay on the ground to take a short break. The police officer on the left introduced himself at the moment and turned his head to look at Lin Fan. Lin Fan knew that the gun in his hand was exactly his.


    "That was many years ago." Lin Fan handed the gun over to Chen Tong.


    "Thank you very much. I''ll leave first." The man who had been trembling with fear rushed out of the room in a flash and ran towards the upstairs direction.


    The four of them sat quietly for a minute, while the sound of the loudspeaker outside continued non-stop.


    "What''s your name? You seem to know quite a bit about these zombies." Chen Tong looked at Lin Fan.


    "I''m an intern graduate student at this hospital, and my name is Lin Fan."


    "Lin Fan, that name sounds familiar." Chen Tong slapped his head, but couldn''t recall it for a moment. It was the police officer on the right who reminded him, "Boss, the daughter of Mayor Cai once had a boyfriend named Lin Fan. That was many years ago. It''s said that the guy was quite extraordinary."


    "Oh, right. Mayor Cai once had a daughter named Cai Tingting. Do you know her?" Chen Tong suddenly realized and turned his head to look at Lin Fan. He noticed that Lin Fan''s face suddenly became gloomy.


    Lin Fan nodded weakly, "I''m the one you''re talking about."


    "Ah, kid, it''s really you." Hearing this, Chen Tong was clearly surprised. After being stunned for a while, he quickly handed his service pistol to Lin Fan, "Take it. Use it for self-defense. Let''s rush downstairs together. The outside rescue teams are all here, and these zombies should almost be wiped out by us."


    While walking, Chen Tong asked, "Lin Fan, do you still have contact with Mayor Cai''s family?"


    Lin Fan nodded, "I visit Tingting occasionally."


    "She, she''s already dead, isn''t she?"


    Hearing this, Lin Fan suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Chen Tong, and after a short silence, he said, "She''s dead. But can''t I visit her just because she''s dead? I mean to pay my respects to her." Lin Fan turned around and continued walking.


    Hearing what Lin Fan said, Chen Tong and the other two police officers secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Back then, the love story between Lin Fan and Cai Tingting had spread throughout the entire City S. He could be considered a celebrity in this city. Alas, actually, Lin Fan was also a pitiful person.


    On the second floor, Lin Fan and Chen Tong''s group rescued three medical staff members who were hiding in the dark. Lin Fan would go up to ask them if they had been scratched or bitten by zombies. They all shook their heads and said no. Hearing this, Lin Fan felt much more relieved.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    Just as they were about to go downstairs, Lin Fan''s phone rang again with a "ding, ding, ding" sound.


    Lin Fan took out his phone and took a look. It was a call from Mayor Cai.


    "Hello, Uncle Cai."


    Hearing this greeting, Chen Tong and the other two police officers immediately fell silent and showed respect for Lin Fan.


    "Xiao Lin, where are you now?"


    "I''m at home, sleeping." Lin Fan didn''t want him to worry, so he lied.


    "Oh, it''s good that you''re at home. It''s good that you''re at home. Well, go to sleep. You still have to go to work tomorrow."


    After that, Lin Fan and Mayor Cai said goodnight to each other and hung up the phone.


    "Was that a call from Mayor Cai just now?" Chen Tong immediately asked.


    "Yes. He probably heard about what happened at the hospital, so he called to ask if I was at home."


    "Oh dear, you shouldn''t have said you were at home. I wanted to remind you, but I was worried about interrupting your conversation. Mayor Cai has probably already arrived at the hospital entrance by now. He''s the temporary commander of the rescue team tonight."


    "I know that." Lin Fan nodded and replied calmly.


    "You know?" Chen Tong asked in surprise.


    "Since something like this happened at the Municipal People''s Hospital, as the mayor of this city, he must have known about it long ago. I lied to him. First, I didn''t want him to worry about me. Second, I''m not planning to go out and meet him."


    Before they knew it, they had already reached the staircase on the first floor.


    Lin Fan took a step back and handed the pistol to Chen Tong, "You guys go out. I''ll leave from the rooftop on the fourth floor. I hope you won''t tell the mayor that you met me here."


    "Ah, you''re just leaving like this?" Chen Tong took the pistol, opened his mouth wide, and looked at Lin Fan with an expression of disbelief.


    Lin Fan nodded, pulled Chen Tong aside, and said in a solemn tone, "Officer Chen, as you saw just now, after your brother was bitten by a zombie, he turned into a zombie himself not long after. So, after you go out, please tell all the doctors that it''s necessary to perform amputation surgeries on those who were bitten by zombies at the hospital tonight. As for the reason, just tell them what you saw."


    Chen Tong nodded heavily after hearing this, indicating that he would definitely convey the message. Lin Fan then turned to another police officer and said, "Brother, could you lend me your bayonet?"


    The police officer quickly handed the bayonet to Lin Fan and took the opportunity to introduce himself, "My name is Wang Ming." Damn it! People around the mayor naturally couldn''t wait to curry favor.


    "You all go out. I can go to the fourth floor by myself." Lin Fan nodded to them and then turned around and ran towards the second floor. The several medical staff members who had been rescued together looked at Lin Fan with surprised expressions. Lin Fan smiled at them and then left.


    After turning around and making sure he couldn''t see the backs of Chen Tong and the others, Lin Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He held the bayonet in his hand, weighed it, and thought to himself, "Now I can go to the fifth basement floor by myself. Professor Wang, is your body still there? As your disciple, I must take you out."


    Lin Fan picked up the concentrated acid again, stuck the bayonet in his waist, put a flashlight on his back, moved his feet a bit, and then ran downstairs with a thud from the opposite pedestrian staircase.


    When Lin Fan arrived at the entrance to the basement, he saw a large number of police officers and firefighters blocking the entrance on the opposite side. It seemed that all the zombies in the hospital that could move around had been eliminated by the police officers.


    Lin Fan felt relieved in his heart and took out his mobile phone at the right time. He scrolled to the phone number of the first call he answered tonight. It should be Zhang Meng''s number. It was necessary for him to give her a call to let each other know that they were safe, which was also a sign of respect for her.


    Lin Fan dialed the number, but there was only a beeping sound on the other end, and there was no response. After a while, the voice prompt "The call was not answered" came. Lin Fan closed his phone a bit disappointed and felt a bit worried in his heart, "She should be okay, right?"


    Lin Fan didn''t have time to think too much. He took out his flashlight and walked downstairs. He tried to slow down his steps as much as possible to avoid making any noise.


    After walking for half an hour, Lin Fan finally managed to reach the entrance to the fifth basement floor. Starting from the corridor on the first basement floor, there were scattered corpses everywhere along the corridor, including fresh human tissues and old zombie fragments.


    "Boom!" Lin Fan knocked on the wall beside the door to see if there was any movement inside. He waited quietly for a while, but there was no reaction at all. And by this time, all the smoke in this room had dissipated.


    With a "swish" sound, Lin Fan pulled the bayonet out from his waist with his right hand, put the concentrated acid on the steps of the pedestrian corridor, turned on the flashlight, and then walked in slowly.


    Lin Fan walked around those mutilated corpses and entered the room with four walls where he had first come in. Looking around, he saw that the glass door on the opposite side was completely shattered. Lin Fan immediately shone the flashlight on the stool in the second room!

 Be Ambushed

    Lin Fan''s eyes widened immediately. On the second stool, there was only the lower half of a body left, and the upper half was nowhere to be found.


    Lin Fan felt a pang of grief in his heart. He immediately jumped in through the window and finally got close to the chair. Looking down, he saw Professor Wang''s head lying on the corner of the wall on one side of the ground. At this time, it was still wide open, and its mouth was still moving constantly.


    The scene in front of him told Lin Fan that when the automatic destruction device exploded and started at the beginning, it had blown Wang Yuan to pieces on the spot!


    Lin Fan let out a sigh, walked to Wang Yuan''s head, raised the bayonet in his hand, and smashed Wang Yuan''s head. After doing this, Lin Fan hung his head low, crouched in the corner, remained quiet for a while, wiped his red and swollen eyes with his right hand, and remembered in his mind that since he entered the hospital a year ago, he had been taken care of by his mentor Wang Yuan everywhere. This kindness, which was like that between a father and a son, made him feel extremely sad.


    Lin Fan then stood up, took the experimental clean suit on Wang Yuan''s body in his hand, stepped forward, and wrapped the fragments of Wang Yuan''s body completely in the clothes. He was determined not to leave any traces related to Wang Yuan here for others.


    Before leaving here, Lin Fan turned around and walked to the third and fourth rooms next door. Whether it was the wolfhound or the groups of zombies he had seen at first, they had all been blown to pieces. Especially in the fourth room, pieces of corpses were scattered all over the floor, piled up thickly. From a distance, it was really disgusting.


    Unconsciously, Lin Fan walked into the fifth room. In the fifth room, the iron chains on both sides were loosened as if they had fallen apart. The connection that bound the giant zombie''s wrists was wide open, and there weren''t too many fragments of corpses around. It seemed that the self-destruction device in this reagent room could blow ordinary groups of zombies to pieces, but it couldn''t do anything to that giant zombie.


    Lin Fan casually shone the flashlight around the room. In both the fifth and fourth rooms, he found a few plastic sleeves. Lin Fan crouched down, quietly picked them up, and sniffed them. A very unpleasant pungent sour smell came out of the sleeves.


    "What are these things?" Lin Fan muttered to himself, and he also guessed in his heart that the sour smell he had smelled outside actually came from here.


    Later, Lin Fan found a small door beside the wall in the fifth room. As if he had found a treasure, he quickly bent down and felt the wall. It was an embedded door. There should be another room inside!


    Unfortunately, this door had no holes or seams. It was even more difficult to open it than reaching the sky! Lin Fan thought of the steps Wang Yuan had taken to enter and thought to himself, "Could it be that there''s also a keyboard around here? Is this another hidden password door?"


    Lin Fan groped around hard for a while, but didn''t achieve any results. At this time, voices came from outside.


    "Hey, look, what''s this?"


    "It''s concentrated acid. Why is there concentrated acid here?"


    Lin Fan knew something was wrong. Needless to say, after the police officers wiped out the zombies outside, they would naturally come down to check the scene. Now, they had found the concentrated acid he had left on the corridor side.


    Lin Fan looked around. There were hard walls all around, and it was impossible for him to hide. Judging from the voices coming from the corridor, there should be a team of people. If he appeared here for no reason, he would definitely be questioned!


    "Ugh! Damn it, it''s so disgusting. Let''s go, let''s go. This basement is too terrifying." A police officer in the front was so disgusted by the terrifying scene in front of him that he felt sick to his stomach. A few seconds later, Lin Fan heard their retching sounds inside!Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.


    "What could be down here? There definitely won''t be anything. Let''s all put on gas masks and come back to check tomorrow." Another police officer agreed.


    With a thud, thud, thud, these police officers, who were probably used to a pampered life on weekdays, couldn''t adapt to such a terrifying and dirty place at all. They didn''t even walk in and had already turned back.


    "Damn it, a false alarm." Lin Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead, knowing that it wasn''t a good place to stay for long. He looked at the door that he couldn''t open and could only reluctantly choose to leave.


    When Lin Fan was retreating, he went back to the second room and casually picked up a vial of corpse-eliminating powder injection on the table. This was the painstaking research result of Professor Wang Yuan. Whether he would continue to study his experiments in the future or not, it would be good to take one thing back as a reference.


    When Lin Fan returned to the corridor, he shone the flashlight down and found that the concentrated acid was gone. He thought that those police officers weren''t fools. When they saw something left here, they should have taken it away.


    Lin Fan was just about to climb the stairs when, suddenly, the sound of a bottle falling through the air came from above his head. Lin Fan was startled and quickly took two steps back. Unfortunately, it was too late. He only heard a sizzling sound coming from behind him. Damn it! It was concentrated acid! The concentrated acid just splashed onto the package of Wang Yuan''s fragmented body!


    It turned out that Lin Fan had always wrapped Wang Yuan''s fragmented body in the clean suit and carried it on his back. Although Wang Yuan''s body had been broken into seven or eight pieces, it still had some weight and was quite heavy!


    And it was Wang Yuan''s body that miraculously blocked the burning of the concentrated acid for Lin Fan. If the concentrated acid had deviated a little in direction, it would definitely have splashed onto Lin Fan''s head! Although concentrated acid wouldn''t kill people, the heat generated by the exothermic reaction was enough to disfigure a person and cost half of their life!


    "Who''s there?"


    With the sounds of "click, click", the three police officers on the upper part of the fifth basement floor all turned on the lights in their hands and shone them towards the exit of the fifth basement floor together. The light fell on Lin Fan.


    Lin Fan turned his back and immediately realized in his heart: These police officers were still a bit clever. They had clearly found that there was something else down there just now, but they didn''t retreat immediately. Instead, they squatted at the entrance, waiting for the prey like a hunter lying in wait by a tree stump!


    "Put your hands up! We all have guns in our hands. Who are you? Turn around." One of the police officers shouted loudly.


    Lin Fan had no choice. This move was clearly a miscalculation on his part.


    "Damn it! This guy seems to have something in his hand. Sulfuric acid was splashed on that thing."


    "What are you doing hiding down here in the middle of the night? What''s your relationship with these zombies?"


    Before Lin Fan even turned around, the two police officers couldn''t wait to ask questions. You know, this zombie case would definitely make the headlines of the national news tomorrow. And the three of them had caught an unidentified person in the basement, who should have a great connection with the zombie case. Perhaps they could get the answers they wanted from the mouth of this suspect. They deserved the first merit for solving this major case. Just thinking about it made them excited.


    In just a short while, Lin Fan had all kinds of thoughts in his mind: He must take Professor Wang''s body out, he must leave here safely, and he must not get into trouble! But what should he do with these three annoying police officers?


    Lin Fan put down the clean suit, then slowly stood up. His right hand accidentally touched the bayonet at his waist. Fortunately, the three police officers behind him couldn''t see that he was carrying a weapon at all from the position where he was standing. Lin Fan moved his right hand slightly and completely covered the bayonet with his clothes.


    "Come up here."


    Lin Fan hung his head low. The three police officers were all looking down from above and couldn''t see Lin Fan''s face clearly.


    "Are you the only one down there?"


    "No, there are others." Lin Fan replied.


    "Others?" Hearing this, the three police officers looked at each other in surprise. They felt extremely frightened in their hearts. Just now, the three of them had only taken a quick look down there. Damn it! Such a disgusting place was really not a place for people to stay in, yet there were still several people?


    "You little brats, you''re really brave enough to come here."


    "How many people are there down there?"


    Lin Fan gradually started walking and walked up the stairs, getting closer and closer to the three police officers.


    Seeing that Lin Fan didn''t answer, the police officers all frowned. The police officer on the left said to his colleagues beside him, "He Gang, make a phone call and notify the people in the department. There''s something fishy on the fifth basement floor."

 Aftermath Work

    The police officer named He Gang nodded, put down his pistol, took out his mobile phone, turned his back, and had already started scrolling through the phone numbers.


    Lin Fan raised his eyebrows. There were still three steps between him and the police officers. He suddenly jumped up, staggered, and crashed into the nearest police officer. None of the three police officers had expected Lin Fan to suddenly attack them. He Gang was on the phone, one police officer''s attention was distracted as he turned to see if He Gang was making the call, and only one police officer was left using his gun to monitor Lin Fan. Such a good opportunity like this would never come a second time under the current circumstances!


    "Ah!" The police officer who was hit staggered and, like toppling building blocks, knocked down another police officer beside him. The remaining He Gang, who was on the phone, dropped his mobile phone with a "smack" sound.


    Lin Fan threw himself on the police officer, and his hands quickly reached forward. Very nimbly, he snatched the Type 92 pistol from the police officer''s waist.


    "Don''t move!" Lin Fan picked up the flashlight, grasped the pistol handle with one hand, and aimed it at the three people in front of him.


    All these actions took just a few seconds.


    "You... you... you dare to assault the police?" One of the police officers looked up, his tongue tied, and asked in shock.


    "You dared to use concentrated acid to deal with me. Why wouldn''t I dare to point a gun at you!"


    "Hey, brother, don''t get excited. Put the gun down first. Let''s talk things over calmly. You know, guns are very dangerous. If it goes off accidentally, it could cost lives. We didn''t expect there to be anyone alive down here. We used the concentrated acid just to deal with the zombies. You''ve got it wrong."


    "Deal with zombies? Humph, I don''t care about that. You two, take out your guns and throw them on the ground. Also, hand over all your communication tools. If you try any tricks, I might accidentally fire the gun." Lin Fan threatened the other two police officers.


    The two police officers had no choice. Whether this kid would accidentally fire the gun or not, the gun was now in his hands, so they had to play it safe. Otherwise, it would be bad if they angered him.


    "Thud, thud." The police officers cooperated very well and handed over their service pistols, mobile phones, and other items, throwing them on the ground.


    "Turn your backs and go to the fifth basement floor!" Lin Fan quickly turned around, picked up the remaining two service pistols, and put them in his trouser pockets. Lin Fan hadn''t expected that these three police officers would be such pushovers. It seemed that they really lacked practical combat experience.


    The police officer on the left shrugged and smiled as if trying to make Lin Fan relax.


    "I say, are you really related to the zombie case? Also, there should be only you down here, right? Otherwise, you wouldn''t have done this. You should know that attacking..."


    "Cut the crap and go down." Lin Fan ordered.


    The three police officers had no choice but to obediently walk towards the downstairs direction.


    After seeing that they had all gone in, Lin Fan picked up the clean suit on the ground, snorted softly, then stepped forward and locked the entire passage door.


    Lin Fan crouched in the corner and thought to himself, "What should I do? What should I do? Tomorrow, I might become a globally wanted criminal. What should I do with these three police officers?"


    Lin Fan had never even thought about killing people. But the situation was urgent at the moment. He definitely couldn''t just wait to be caught. For the sake of Professor Wang''s reputation, he absolutely couldn''t let them catch him.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    When Lin Fan thought of Professor Wang, he suddenly felt that the bag in his hand was a bit strange. He quickly took it over to have a look. Damn it! When did this clean suit become so tattered?


    Lin Fan then remembered that the three police officers had poured a large amount of sulfuric acid downwards earlier. Although it hadn''t splashed on Lin Fan, it had flowed all over the ground. When Lin Fan was walking, he hadn''t noticed this. When he put the clean suit on the ground, the sulfuric acid had flowed over and completely melted Professor Wang''s bones!


    Lin Fan hurriedly opened the upper opening. Inside, it was impossible to tell which were Professor Wang''s bones anymore! There was just a pile of black charcoal. Lin Fan had a flash of inspiration: "Right! Don''t let them find any connection between this and Professor Wang. Use concentrated acid to melt Professor Wang''s body. No one will know without anyone noticing!"


    Lin Fan immediately went up, brought down the concentrated acid, and then poured it on the clean suit. Immediately, a cloud of smoke rose from the clean suit, and Wang Yuan''s bones disappeared from the world without anyone realizing it.


    After finishing this, Lin Fan leaned his ear against the door of the tunnel entrance to listen. He couldn''t hear any movement from the three police officers inside. Lin Fan moved his body a bit and found that the soles of his feet were also stained with concentrated acid. Fortunately, he realized that the pair of shoes he was wearing were acid-resistant sports shoes. It was really unexpected that the pair of shoes he had casually found in the duty room turned out to be a famous brand.


    "The pretty girl is about to get married. I think your tears will flow down like a waterfall..." Just as Lin Fan was about to get up and leave, the mobile phone ringtone suddenly rang on the steps. It was a very familiar pop song called "The Pretty Girl Is About to Get Married". It turned out that the phone of one of the police officers just now was ringing.


    In the quiet environment, the song suddenly rang out like an explosion, and Lin Fan was also startled. Lin Fan sighed, put the three pistols in his hand on the ground in front of him, rushed up the stairs in two or three steps, and picked up the ringing mobile phone on the ground.


    Seeing the name "Chen Tong" on the phone, Lin Fan''s heart skipped a beat again. He wanted to hang up, but he thought it wasn''t right, so he pressed the answer button.


    "Hello, Ah Wei. Come out quickly. There are a lot of injured people outside."


    This Chen Tong hung up the phone without waiting for Ah Wei to say a word. It seemed that he was really busy. Lin Fan smiled wryly, put down the phone, and quietly ran towards the outside of the hospital.


    "Ding, ding, ding." Lin Fan finally managed to walk out of the hospital alone. When he was on his way home, his own mobile phone rang again.


    He took a look and saw that it was Zhang Meng''s call. He quickly answered it.


    "Hello, hello, Zhang Meng, are you okay?"


    "Doctor Lin, Doctor Lin, are you okay?"


    Almost at the same second when the call was connected, the two of them asked about each other''s well-being at the same time. Then they both fell silent and immediately started laughing on the phone.


    "Doctor Lin, where are you?"


    "I''m already on my way home. How about you? Are you okay?"


    "Fortunately, I''m okay. We''re all rescuing the injured people now. I took some time out to call you. Mayor Cai is also on our side. You don''t want him to know that you were at the scene. Don''t worry. It''s best that you''re okay. Go home and have a good sleep."


    "Zhang Meng, you... Alas, how''s the situation at the hospital?" Lin Fan had originally wanted to tell her to be careful, but then he changed the topic and asked about the situation at the hospital instead.


    "The hospital has now controlled those monsters. However, there are quite a lot of injured people and they need to be transferred to other hospitals for treatment. I guess we''ll be busy for a long time tomorrow."


    "By the way, please tell the police officers at the hospital that there are still three police officers trapped on the fifth basement floor of the hospital. They need urgent rescue."


    "Ah, the fifth basement floor. Doctor Lin, have you been there?" Zhang Meng''s voice clearly became quieter. Being smart, she naturally guessed the truth of the matter.


    "Well, I don''t know how to explain it. Just tell the police officers that it was discovered accidentally. Don''t say that I found it there, okay?"


    "Okay, I know. I''ll definitely convey the message properly. See you tomorrow. You should go home and go to sleep quickly." Zhang Meng had wanted to talk more with Lin Fan, but the doctors not too far away were calling for her to go and help again. So she could only hang up the phone halfway through and walked hurriedly towards the doctors after saying goodbye to Lin Fan.


    Lin Fan returned to his home. At the moment, he didn''t feel sleepy at all. The terrifying scenes throughout the night had made him forget about sleeping. Lin Fan opened the drawer and took out the materials that Professor Wang had given him.


    Then, Lin Fan took out the powder injection drug named Corpse-Eliminating Spirit from his trouser pocket. Looking at everything in front of him, countless questions immediately flashed through Lin Fan''s mind: "What on earth is going on here? What''s behind that door in the basement?"
