Chapter 1: Terror Strikes

  "Dr. Zhao, the patient in room 205 has relapsed."

  "Alright, I understand."

  He put down his legs which were on the office desk, tidied up his white coat and left his office, heading towards the second floor of the inpatient department.

  As soon as I went up the stairs, I heard the sound of things being smashed and a womans hysterical screams.

  Other female psychiatric patients in the ward also stood in the corridor watching the commotion, and several nurses could only try their best to keep the patients away from Ward 205, because these patients had mental problems and their reactions were inevitably slow, in case something was thrown over, they might not even dodge.

  When the nurses saw Zhao Zhu, they all showed a relieved expression on their faces. After all, Zhao Zhu was a Ph.D. student from a well-known medical university in the United States. Although he had been in this hospital for less than half a year, his ability to handle and treat mentally ill patients had already been unanimously recognized by the hospital and the patients families.

  Moreover, when the patient Zhao Zhuo was ill and made a fuss again, she could calm him down quickly. Since Zhao Zhuo came, the nurses also felt that their work had become much easier.

  Zhao Zhu pushed away several female mental patients in front of him, nodded to a few nurses, and then walked directly towards room 205.

  He had just pushed the door open when a spittoon was thrown out from inside. Zhao Zhus reaction was quick, his body dodged to one side, and the spittoon hit the wall of the corridor.

  Fortunately, the hospital has strict rules and regulations, and the ward is swept every morning. Otherwise, if there was still overnight urine in this sputum bowl, even if you avoided the sputum, you couldnt avoid that yellow liquid.

  Zhao Zhu cleared his throat and entered the ward, closing the door behind him.

  The patient is a 19-year-old girl, nicknamed Lili. She was originally attending university, but one night she was taken away by some hooligans and molested, after which she went mad. After dropping out of school and returning home, her family was unable to control her during episodes of illness, so they sent her to this psychiatric hospital.

  "Ah! Dont come over, dont come over, dont come over!"

  Lili saw Zhao Zhu walking step by step towards her, and after throwing the quilt in front of her, she found that there was nothing to throw beside her, so she could only hold her head with both hands, squat on the ground and scream hysterically.

  Looking at the girls pitiful appearance, Zhao Zhu didnt have any intention of showing sympathy or tenderness, and directly walked over, then with one hand grabbed Lilis hair, lifting her entire person up.

  Lili only felt a severe pain on her scalp, so painful that she shed tears, and grabbed Zhao Zhus arm with both hands in the hope of alleviating her own suffering.

  Generally, when mentally ill patients are hospitalized, their fingernails will be trimmed at regular intervals, so no matter how hard Lili scratches, she cant hurt Zhao Zhu.

  Bang!

  Zhao Zhu directly threw Lili onto the hospital bed, then pressed one leg against her waist, making her stick tightly to the bed and unable to move. Next, Zhao Zhu clutched Lilis neck with one hand and shouted:

  "Shout one more time and Ill beat you up one more time!"

  Upon hearing this vicious remark, Lili was immediately intimidated, pursed her lips and stopped talking.

  Zhao Zhus index finger popped on Lilis head, the force was quite sufficient, and Lilis face showed a painful expression. She felt that her entire forehead was filled with a "buzzing" sound, and her consciousness also became dizzy at this moment. When she opened her eyes again, she found a pocket watch in front of her, swaying back and forth, and a gentle voice came from beside her ear. Lilis eyes slowly closed again.

  Lili felt like she had a dream, in the dream, she was pressed to the ground by several thugs with tattoos and bleached yellow hair, watching them do that thing on her one after another.

  However, at this moment, her perspective was like that of a bystander, and in the nightmares she had experienced before, she was always the one who went through it herself. In this way, after seeing this scene again, the degree of stimulation in her heart decreased a lot.

  "Those few people, except for one of them, have all been caught and sentenced."

  It wasnt until then that Lili suddenly realized that there was still someone standing beside her.

  This person was wearing a pair of sports shoes on his feet, a sky blue jeans on the lower body, and a very loose white coat on the upper body. His face had a slightly playful expression. If it were my former self, I would probably have fallen in love with him at first sight, because this guy really looked quite handsome, somewhat like a Korean star, but with an extra bit of masculinity that those pretty-boy Korean stars didnt have.

  This man was naturally Zhao Zhu. He stretched out one hand and wrapped Lili in his arms, and Lili didnt struggle, but rather submitted to him very obediently.

  "You have to remember, there is still one person who escaped and hasnt been caught yet. Can you be at peace with that?"

  So, you have to face it properly, behave well, you cant be a mentally ill person anymore, you need to be a normal person, you need to leave this mental hospital as soon as possible, continue your studies, so that you can find a good job, so that you can earn a salary, and then you can go to various places to look for that escaped scum.

  You still have to take good care of your parents, you still have to find a man who truly loves you, you still have to give birth to a healthy child, and then raise him up. In this way, your parents, your husband, and your child will all help you together to find that scum, that scum will definitely be found by you, and then, send him to prison, send him to the cold prison, let the prison guards and prisoners torture him...

  Zhang said, Lili nodded, and after a while, she felt her eyes itching. When she opened them, she found herself lying in a hospital bed with an IV drip on her arm and a clean quilt covering her body. A nurse was standing beside her, taking her temperature.

  "Ah, youre awake? How are you feeling now, is there any discomfort anywhere?" the nurse asked with concern.

  "No... Im feeling much better now... by the way, wheres Dr. Zhao?" Lili smiled and said softly.

  "Doctor Zhao, he left after you fell asleep."

  "Thank Dr. Zhao for me, thank him."

  "No problem, you just rest well and sleep a bit more, Ill leave first."

  The nurse pulled out the thermometer and said goodbye to Lili before leaving the ward. In fact, most mentally ill people are not much different from normal people when they are not sick.

  Lilis hands involuntarily grasped the quilt, muttering: "I cant be afraid anymore, I want to leave this hospital, I want to go to school, I want to be a normal person again, I want to find that escaped bastard... I want..."

  ……

  In the office, Zhao Zhu made himself a cup of instant milk tea and stuffed a large handful of ice cubes into his quilt. He loved the sound of the ice cracking as it hit the hot water.

  But before Zhao Zhu could pick up the milk tea, another hand snatched it from him.

  "Ah, Im dying of thirst! Its still better at your place, Xiao Zhao. Why dont you get yourself an ice maker?"

  The one who took the cup was Zhao Meifen, the head nurse of the inpatient department, in her thirties.

  Zhao Zhu didnt say another word, stretched out his hand, wrapped it around Zhao Mei Fens waist, and pulled her entire body into his arms.

  Zhao Mei Fen struggled symbolically for a moment before giving in, flashing a hint of spring feelings and annoyance as she glared at Zhao Zhu with one eye, saying:

  "The office door hasnt even closed yet and youre already acting strangely, are you that anxious?"

  "Yes, and I dont know which monkey rushed to deliver itself to the door."

  Zhao Zhu lowered his head and was about to approach, but Zhao Mei Fen looked around at the place they were in, tilted her head to one side, and begged for mercy:

  "Enemy, youre on duty tonight, Im also on night shift. Ill come find you again tonight, now I still have to go do my rounds, no time to linger."

  Zhao Zhuang let go of his hand, Zhao Mei Fen tidied up her clothes and hair before walking out with a swaying waist.

  In fact, women like Zhao Mei Fen are not necessarily promiscuous or flirtatious. Sometimes they will tease you, but wont let you have your way with them, which is a kind of pleasure for women.

  However, when Zhao Meifen first tried to tease the new high-achieving doctor, she was directly pressed against the wall by Zhao Zhu and "eaten" in the simplest and most direct way, thus establishing a romantic relationship between the two people very quickly.

  Later, when Zhao Meifen checked the files, she only knew that Zhao Zhuo also had a masters degree in psychology. It was then that he should have seen through his own thoughts and known that even if he forced himself to eat himself, he would not object or resist.

  Zhao Zhu poured himself another cup of milk tea and sat back at his desk, pulling out his phone to open an app.

  The doctors job is sometimes busy to the point of death, but when its idle, it can be so boring that people go crazy. So when Zhao Zhu was bored, he would take out his mobile phone and browse online to find something to watch.

  Recently, I dont know if its because Ive read too many books and my standards have risen, or if the level of writers has declined. Anyway, there are fewer and fewer books that can be read through to the end, especially some fantasy novels which all follow a fixed routine, and after reading the first chapter, you can guess the ending. Therefore, Zhao Zhu always has to spend a lot of time selecting books.

  While searching in the library, Zhao Zhu found a book with an interesting cover, a skull head with a strange smile, and the title was very straightforward "Horror Web Novel".

  Clicking into this book, I found that the number of words displayed in this book is: unlucky, and there are no comments in the comment area. It should not be a famous book, and it should be a "street work" that cant compare with those online celebrities.

  However, Zhao Zhu still clicked on the "" option. Immediately afterwards, he found that his mobile phone suddenly went black. No, very quickly, a few lines of words appeared on the screen of the mobile phone, as if they were written in fresh blood:

  "As youre reading this online, congratulations to you, youve been selected to be an experiencer of the Horror Web world. Welcome to a horrific world. Sincerely hoping... You... can come back alive."

  House of the Dead: Zombie

  World Attribute: Survival Mode

  Main Quest: Survive for 7 days in the "Zombie" world

  Task Reward: 1000 Points Voucher

  ……

  "Whats the point, boring."

  Zhao Zhu chuckled, thinking that his phone had been implanted with a Trojan horse and someone was playing a prank on him. During his studies abroad, he had many classmates who studied computer science, and this little trick was simply childs play for them.

  However, Zhao Zhus expression soon turned serious because he was still sitting in the chair, but this chair was no longer the boss chair in the office, but had become a pear wood armchair, and his own legs were not propped up on the office desk, but were propped up on a coffin.
