Just as Zhao Zhu finished contacting Xiong Zhiqi, he let out a long sigh of relief, turned off the screen light on his phone, and wiped away the sweat beads from his forehead. However, when he turned around and scanned the door to the ward with his eyes, he found that there was a female nurse standing there, staring at him through the glass door of the ward with an eerie smile on her mouth.
Zhao Zhus heart skipped a beat as he knew something was wrong. Sure enough, the female nurse started unlocking the door with her key, and the sound of the lock and key colliding came from outside, but the door couldnt be opened. Apparently, she was still changing the lock.
"Its not so bad after all."
Zhao Zhu let out a sigh of relief. If that female psychiatric nurse had used the correct key to open the door from the start, Zhao Zhu would have been left with nothing to do but cry. At this point, he couldnt care about anything else, so he hastily pushed the cabinet originally used for storing patients clothes over and leaned it against the back of the hospital room door.
He then glanced at the ward again, strongly enduring the discomfort of his body and mind, and pushed that hospital bed to move, blocking it behind the ward door.
Just then the lock clicked into place, the door was opened and people outside began to push it inwards but were hindered by a wardrobe and bed, clearly unable to open it.
However, the footsteps outside grew louder and more nurses rushed over here, starting to push the door together. At this moment, Zhao Zhu, who was originally leaning against the door and blocking the door with his feet, also felt a bit strained. Although womens strength is not very great, there were so many women, and they were all female mental patients working together, their combined force was quite terrifying. Zhao Zhu felt that his feet had already started to be pushed by the door and were rubbing against the ground.
The door had been pushed open a crack, and a hand was already stretching out, desperately scratching inside.
The force behind him was getting stronger and stronger, Zhao Zhu felt that he could no longer hold on, but once this door was opened, even if his skills were quite good, one-on-one against a man or even two men, he had great confidence. However, facing a group of female mental patients holding controlled knives, he really didnt have the courage to rush up stupidly. At this time, being able to hold on for a little while longer was best, hopefully until Xiong Zhiqi arrived, of course, that was just a hope.
Actually, Zhao Zhu was originally going to let Xiong Zhiqi call and inform him himself, as he still had some connections in society. However, Xiong Zhiqi directly vetoed this proposal and insisted on coming over himself. His intention was clearly that such matters were beyond the capabilities of ordinary people and had already entered the realm of the supernatural. The kind of mental patient who controls a hospital would be normal if it appeared in a horror web novel task world, but once it appears in reality, it means abnormality!
Abnormal things, naturally require abnormal people to solve them!
"Darling, I cant wait until you arrive."
Zhao Zhu cursed and kicked the wall with one leg, using the recoil to push the door back. With a "click", the door closed again, which was an unexpected surprise. Zhao Zhu turned sideways and locked the door again.
Outside, the sound of a key unlocking was heard again. However, it was clear that the female mental patient outside would have to try slowly to open this door again, at least giving Zhao Zhu a chance to catch his breath.
However, Murphys Law was proven once again, and all that could be heard was a loud banging noise, with wood chips flying everywhere near Zhao Zhus ears, the female mental patients outside had already begun hacking at the door with knives.
In less than a minute, the door had been chopped out of more than a dozen transparent gaps, almost as if it would collapse with just one poke.
Zhao Zhu knew that he couldnt just wait to die at this time, so he immediately squatted down, grabbed the bottom of the hospital bed with both hands, and used all his strength to flip the entire bed over, turning it into a vertical position. The height was just right, forming an inverted triangle that blocked the doors spatial range, and the gap between the bed and the door was so small that even a childs hand couldnt fit through.
A loud "crash" sounded, and the hospital room door was smashed open. However, the bed blocked the way of the female mental patients, who began to hack at it with their knives, but to no avail. The beds structure was much sturdier than the door.
And also because of the mechanics principle, the force used by Zhao Zhu when resisting the hospital bed was actually smaller than that used to resist the door, but those female mental patients found it even harder to push open this hospital bed.
Gradually, after another commotion, it was quiet outside again. Zhao Zhu waited for a while before slowly turning his head to take a look at the situation outside through the narrow gap between the hospital bed and the door. However, what he saw was also a pair of eyes - a womans eyes were stuck in that gap. Suddenly, a cold light flashed by, and Zhao Zhu quickly turned his head away. The opponents knife had actually been inserted through the gap, and Zhao Zhus right cheek was cut open with a big gash, blood dripping down. Fortunately, he dodged quickly; otherwise, his entire eyeball would have been poked out.
At this moment, the force of the trolley came from outside again. Zhao Zhu couldnt care about his face full of blood and could only exert himself to hold the door tightly, absolutely not allowing the madman outside to take advantage of the situation and come in.
From front to back, it had actually been a stalemate for almost half an hour. At this time, Zhao Zhu discovered that someone was stuck outside the window. This discovery first startled him, and if he really had wolves in front and tigers behind, he would be done for. However, after taking a closer look, he found it was that familiar little fatty.
Xiong Zhiqi waved his hand at Zhao Zhu, and then Zhao Zhu saw that one of Xiong Zhiqis palms suddenly turned bright red. He then saw that the bright red palm grasped one end of the guardrail, which quickly softened and melted into a liquid. Following suit, Xiong Zhiqi melted away the other two ends of the guardrail, creating an opening large enough for an adult to pass through.
"Come on, hurry up!" Xiong Zhiqi shouted out loud.
The female mental patients outside started kicking the bed together, and Zhao Zhu also felt that he couldnt hold on for too long. At this time, he didnt hesitate, got up and made a dash, and when he reached the window, he jumped directly, fortunately, he had been insisting on exercising, his movements were quite good, and this jump was just right to pass through the gap area. Originally, Xiong Zhiqi, who was lying on the railing, was also knocked down by Zhao Zhus collision, but fortunately, it was only the second floor, and there was a green belt below, so after the two fell, they only felt a bit stuffy in their chest, and didnt have much harm.
"Hurry up, something big has happened here. On my way here, I asked someone in the group to calculate and they said theres a huge ominous thing lurking around here, but I dont know how it was summoned," Xiong Zhiqi said.
"Do you have to be so exaggerated?"
"In short, no matter what, lets get out of here first. This place is too eerie. The inpatient department has been taken over by that thing. People outside and inside see completely different things."
"Ill go back to the dorm first and get something." Zhao Zhu thought of the box he had left in his dorm, which contained things that Zhu Jianpings family had hidden away. Inside were stimulating potions suitable for himself and other things.
"Is it very urgent?" Xiong Zhiqi asked.
Zhao Zhu nodded.
"Alright, Ill go with you to get it." Xiong Zhiqi was quite loyal.
The two of them ran towards the dormitory area together, and nothing happened on the way. Zhao Zhu quickly took out the key and opened the door to the dormitory. It wasnt until they walked in that they suddenly realized something was off. The layout and decorations inside were all so familiar, but it wasnt their own dorm room - this was clearly his office in the hospital!
How did he end up going around in circles and having Xiong Zhiqi rush over to rescue him, only for him to wander back into the hospital building in a daze?
Just as Zhao Zhuo was stunned, the office door was pushed open and Zhao Meifen fell to the ground, covered in blood. Her body had been hacked by countless knives, and her clothes were completely stained with fresh blood. At this time, several female mental patients wearing nurse uniforms appeared at the office door, holding knives and moving slowly.
Zhao Zhu turned around again, and indeed, behind him was a wall. Where was the door he had seen when he first came in?
