After staying in the third hospital of Rende Hospital for a few days, Cheng Mengyun gradually became accustomed to staying from the initial vigilance and strangeness. The medical staff here are very enthusiastic and professional, the medical equipment is well-equipped, and the daily test content is very simple, nothing more than drawing blood and taking a little hair tissue.

But she always thinks of Yinhua.

But when she thinks of the other party, there will be a tearing pain in the back of her mind. The more she wants to recall, but only the bone-piercing colic is accompanied by it, until one time she forced herself to continue to think about it, and then she was tortured by the pain. Swirling on the bed, physiological tears kept pouring out.

It was the nurse who rushed in and stopped her from self-mutilating, hugged her like a mother, and reassured her softly: "Anything is fine, but don't hurt yourself. The hospital finally snatched you from the hand of death, or Cherish life well."

She sniffed the smell of disinfectant on the other person's body, and gradually stopped her own memory.

Yes, there is only one life, I survived, I have to cherish this life. She listened to the nurse's reassuring words to her heart, and she eats carefully and exercises well every day.

However, she always felt that her energy was very poor, and her body felt pain from time to time, as if she was rejecting something, and occasionally there was a pain that was hard to ignore.

The doctor told her that these are normal symptoms.

"Thanks to your ability to strengthen your body, you have excellent self-healing ability, and you can save your last breath from the pile of zombies. Your physical weakness and mental weakness are normal manifestations."

After listening to the doctor's words, she raised a little doubt,

Is her power really a physical enhancement?

The relevant facts in her memory have proved that she is indeed a body-enhancing power user. She usually fights zombies in close quarters, and she has never had those magical powers such as gold, wood, water, fire and soil.

But she always felt that something was not right. She even fell on purpose because of her weakness. A large bruise from the knee disappeared at an almost bizarre high speed, and then the skin was as smooth as ever, and it took less than half a minute before and after. Once, she deliberately tore off the gauze on her body to check her own injuries. The scars inside were shocking, with torn scars all over her body.

When she came back to her senses, her fingers had penetrated into the newly healed wound, tore apart a part of the flesh, bright red blood fell on the snow-white tiles, and the pain ran up the wound, but it stimulated her mind for a moment Qingming.

In the small bathroom, the pale girl in front of the mirror looked blank and dazed. She watched silently as the wound from her collarbone healed rapidly, the flesh and blood glued together and recovered at a speed that ordinary people couldn't match, and then the speed gradually slowed down and stagnated in a scarred state.

She quietly turned on the faucet and washed the bright red blood from her palms.

When her eyes fell on the wrists and hands surrounded by bandages, her heartbeat couldn't help but stagnate, and some fragmented memories flashed.

Classic luxury villas, mansions in the majestic rain, and...

She was breathing hard, her hands gripping the smooth edge of the sink, and her eyes were black, and she tried to think about it again, but couldn't catch anything.

The murmur of water was just like the pattering rain in my memory.

What the hell did I forget...?

Then, from time to time, she finds opportunities to test her body. She can easily lift the heavy bedside table, and sometimes she can perform various professional fighting moves unconsciously, as if these moves are already well-known by heart.

All of this seems to testify that she is indeed a real body-enhancing power user.

But her condition is getting worse and worse. She just feels that she doesn't get enough sleep every day. She can sleep for more than ten hours in a drowsy bed. Her body and spirit seem to be divided into two parts. the sun, but the latter is like a twilight old man.

During the routine examination, the doctor took the CT film of her brain, and half regretfully pointed out that her brain had an irreversible disease in the last zombie pile, and retrograde amnesia and neurasthenia were the sequelae.

As if to confirm the other party's diagnosis, the buzzing sound of tinnitus lingered in her ears, entangled with a feeling of exhaustion that could not stop all the time, causing her energy to disintegrate. She could only see the doctor's mouth opening and closing, and those words came into her mind. , she was indistinguishable.

She walked back to the ward dazedly and sat on the bed. Her enhanced hearing made it easy for her to catch the conversations of the nurses passing by her door.

"This little girl who lives in 309 is really pitiful. She was sent to the ICU covered in blood, and no relatives have come to visit until today."

"Yeah, I heard from Dr. Zhuo that there is still something wrong with her head. This girl is alone, and she doesn't know how to live after she goes out."

"Hey, he still looks weird, I'm afraid..."

Those voices came through the door panel, then stopped by the stern voice of the head nurse.

She recalled those words over and over again, and she felt a wet feeling in her hands in a trance. She wiped away her tears, picked up the book by the bedside and started to read. It was because the nurse was afraid that she would be bored and found her to relieve her boredom.

But after only ten minutes of reading, she felt a throbbing pain in her head, and the words in front of her swayed. She closed her eyes and took a slow breath, waiting for her energy to recover before continuing to read. With an unyielding stubbornness, he ate half the book abruptly.

Even if she was not in good health, the doctor advised her to rest, and she did everything she could to find an opportunity to go out of the ward. The third hospital of Rende Hospital was a new hospital that was just established before the end of the world. The decoration is different from the old site of Rende Hospital.

She lives on the third floor of a separate inpatient unit in the third hospital. She also wants to leave the inpatient unit, but she will be stopped by a tall security guard who is fully armed in front of the door. The other party politely informs her that the volunteers who signed the temporary test contract You cannot leave until the one-month period expires.

"Special medicine is a life-saving medicine that is related to the overall situation. As a volunteer, you should abide by the confidentiality clauses of the temporary trial contract." The security guard said with an expressionless face.

She responded naively. Before the end of the world, she was a good student who followed the rules. She sat in the hall on the first floor and quietly watched the scenery outside the closed door.

There is nothing to say about the scenery, but the isolation area pulled up by the yellow warning line, and some neatly arranged red and white barricades. Occasionally there are volunteer family members who come to visit. Because it is forbidden to go out, the family members communicate with each other through the thin door, and their faces are filled with obvious joy.

In the late autumn, she sat on the cold iron seat in the hall, watching the joys and sorrows in front of the door.

She knew that there was nothing in it that belonged to her.

Although the nurse repeatedly discouraged her from paying attention to her body, she still stubbornly took some time out every day to sit in the lobby on the first floor, staring at the door in a trance.

Until the whole field of vision shook, she thought her symptoms had worsened, but from the sound of the air defense sirens and the shouts of medical staff, she knew that it was an earthquake.

The floor was trembling all the time. She turned back hastily, and found that outside the narrow window, there was a raging fire and thick smoke from the dense office building in the distance.

In a trance, she was taken away by the wrist of the nurse who came over, and the strength of the other party contained the meaning that she could not escape.

In a trance, she mechanically followed the other party, but in her mind was the raging fire, the red flame stinging her nerves, and she sat in her heart again.

But the intermittent memory made her unable to discern why.

Everything around became absurd, rushing alarms, green emergency exit signs, fleeing crowds, shrill screams, interwoven into an indescribable world.

She was dragged to take refuge several floors underground, and she suddenly realized that the underground of this building is still full of holes.

In the crowded crowd, she was scattered, her head was pulled by pain, and the sky-high fire seemed to reappear in front of her eyes, and she accidentally broke into a single ward.

The ward is warmly decorated, and there are delicate yellow roses in front of the bed. The person on the bed is a beautiful woman who sleeps peacefully. There is a small mole right now. The face of the other party is very classical and beautiful, but it spreads to Black fine lines on the face destroy this harmony. Upon closer inspection, the skin was as pale as death.

At this time, the alarm sound stopped, symbolizing the end of the crisis.

She was about to exit the ward when she bumped into a man who walked in.

The other party wore gold-rimmed glasses, an expensive ironing suit, and a yellow rose brooch on his chest. He looked very polite, but the corners of his eyes were dark and his spirit was very sluggish.

She looked at the other party's face and was stunned for a while, before she got stuck for a long time and said, "Ah, I, I know you, what pharmaceutical company boss are you to, I saw your promotional video before the end of the world."

The other party responded very politely: "It's Xiangming Pharmaceutical Company, but the boss or something is a false name in the post-apocalyptic era. May I ask if you came to my wife's ward?"

Seeing the other person's increasingly vigilant eyes, Cheng Mengyun hurriedly explained: "Sorry, I just got separated from people and came here by accident."

The other party looked at her hospital gown, then asked a few words about the situation, and only after confirming that she really entered by mistake, did she dismiss the idea of ​​notifying security.

Seeing Cheng Mengyun's curious gaze turned to the hospital bed, he didn't know whether it was because the man suffered a great change in his heart, or whether he felt that talking to a stranger who had nothing to do with him could relieve his sorrow.

A man tells a story of a loving couple.

The man studied hard all the way from a small remote village, and finally got into the ace medicine of University A. Since then, he has met his fellow junior sister and fell in love at first sight. After several years of long-distance love running, he finally got married with his sweetheart. His wife was from a local wealthy family in City A, and his husband-in-law couldn't see anything like his poor boy. He couldn't bear the burden of his wife, and after several years of hard work, he founded a nationally renowned pharmaceutical company, which has since been admired by his father-in-law.

It's a pity that the sky didn't come true. Because of the supplier's reasons, the quality control of the newly released health products was not good. Although the recall process was launched in time, it still caused irreparable consequences. At that time, the patient's family members crowded in front of the company every day, crying and arguing with all the people who entered and left the company. The kind-hearted wife who came to deliver meals to him that day couldn't bear to see this scene, and hurried forward to coordinate, but was pushed and shoved by the angry family members, and fell heavily to the ground, with her head knocked on the hard steps, bleeding. It flowed all over the place.

Afterwards, his wife entered the ICU for rescue, and was notified several times of critical illness. Despite efforts to rescue her, she still became a vegetative state. He stayed by his wife's bed every day to take care of him personally, hoping that she would wake up. Later, when the end of the world came, zombies broke out in the hospital where the wife was, and the wife who was in a vegetative state was also bitten, becoming an infected person who would deteriorate at any time. He also ran around, helping the base in City A to develop specific medicines, in order to save his wife's life.

In the end, the man cried so much that the story could no longer be told, so he had to wipe his tears in embarrassment.

When she learned that Cheng Mengyun was a volunteer in the special effect drug experiment, the other party was so excited that she kept shaking her hand and said incoherently: "Thank you volunteers for your dedication. If it weren't for you, Xiaotao might not be able to persist until now." !"

When Cheng Mengyun was taken away by the rushing nurse, she was still sobbing. She looked back and saw a man sitting in front of the bed in the half-covered ward, staring at his wife obsessively.

She suddenly felt that the boring clinical trials every day had a different meaning.

Later, such earthquakes and mountain shaking would come from time to time, and the sirens would sound for an unknown number of years. The doctors and nurses said that there was a huge wave of zombies outside, and they were very ferocious.

For a while, everyone in the inpatient department was in danger, and then some patients were simply transferred to the basement floors, Cheng Mengyun was among them, and the scenery outside the window in the ward was replaced by concrete instead of layers of urban high-rises and ruins.

The difficulty of clinical trials has also increased a bit, from extracting blood to scraping off some flesh. When the nurse scraped off a small piece of skin with a knife, she burst into tears and hugged Cheng Mengyun to comfort her.

Cheng Mengyun looked at the wound that was healing soon, but did not speak. He patted the other person on the shoulder to show that it was okay.

Her spirits are getting worse and worse, and her waking hours are pitifully small every day. Even speaking has become an extremely energy-consuming and difficult task.

Thinking is like a gear soaked in salt water, gradually rusting and shutting down.

She insisted on reading and going outside every day, but she was increasingly unable to fight against the fatigue from the spirit.

Today she came to the cafeteria to have lunch as usual. The bright and clean cafeteria was full of people. Many medical staff and patients came here to eat. She had thought about communicating with some people, but the degraded language system would always come. The sympathy of the people and the difficulty of understanding, over time, not many people are willing to talk to her.

She took a bite of the dish with her chopsticks, but it was hard to swallow. She is always not used to the local dishes in city A. In her impression, the food shouldn't be so unpalatable, it should be so rich that people can eat it completely.

Strange, why do I think so?

She frowned slowly, the instinct of her body made her feel a sense of peeping, she turned her head to look, and saw a woman in a hospital gown lying on the next table looking at her.

The other party had a gorgeous face, and the baggy hospital gown couldn't cover up the other party's graceful figure.

Cheng Mengyun knew her. In the inpatient department, there were not only volunteers for clinical trials, but also some mentally ill patients. One of them was Fang Convenience. heard that she called her husband whenever she met, and she was crazy, and she kept talking about strange things. If so, sometimes go crazy and scratch people around.

When Cheng Mengyun saw the other party's appearance, she was taken aback again. She always felt that she had met the other party once, as if she had met him somewhere. In a daze, she felt that she should have a friend who was as beautiful as the other person, but her hair should be curly, and her temperament should be cooler...

Then, the memory fragments, she covered her head to relieve the pain.

"Hmph~" The woman looked at her and smiled, laughing foolishly.

Without paying much attention to her, Cheng Mengyun continued to eat the meal at hand, but heard the woman whisper:

"I saw a lot of zombies, I also saw death, a big wildfire, a lot of roses..."

The hand holding the chopsticks paused, and Cheng Mengyun looked at her again, her mind tensed.

"Did you know? Death is not a terrible thing, it's also a new life." The woman turned and muttered.

She was lying on the table, playing with her hair.

Cheng Mengyun frowned slightly, thinking that this man was indeed a lunatic, as the medical staff said.

But seeing the woman evoked a smile, those eyes looked straight at her, and said word by word:

"I also saw that Old Chen was looking for me,

"He's looking for you too."
