Chapter 68.2

There was thick smoke billowing in the corridor and visibility was extremely low. A nurse called out, “Hurry and find the elevator!”

The doctor immediately rebuked, “You still take the elevator in a fire? Do you want to be trapped in the elevator! Go find the stairs! Carry it down!”

There were no other patients and doctors left in the corridor, they obviously all escaped. They pushed the parturient to the stairwell.

Tang Mianmian couldn’t help saying, “Should we help them? That’s a pregnant woman… It’s quite hard to bear.”

Xue Junli said lightly, “All of this is history that had happened long ago. Even if you help, the ending will not change.”

Tang Mianmian sighed, “So in the end… Did they all die in this hospital?”

Xue Junli didn’t speak, but his expression explained everything.

They all knew that all of this was a disaster that has already happened. Even if they intervened, they wouldn’t be able to change anything.

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart sank. Even though he knew it, to watch a pregnant woman die in front of him… he still couldn’t do it.

He hesitated, ran after them, and helped push the mobile bed.

Tang Mianmian glanced at Xue Junli and went up to help.

Although the doctors and nurses did not notice these two people who suddenly appeared, the husband looked up at them, “Ah! It’s you! Thank you…”

He seemed to remember Xiao Tangqiu, and Xiao Tangqiu nodded at him, “Let’s escape together.”

The young man was very moved, “Thank you so much!”

Soon, they came to the stairwell and the fire had spread closer. If they abandoned the pregnant woman and ran away on their own, the chances of escape were obviously much higher, but the doctors and nurses still raised the bed and ran down the stairs after a moment of hesitation. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian also helped.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, the smoke billowed in the stairwell and everyone was choked to tears. Right after they finally carried the bed to the next flight, they discovered in despair that the stairs going down were blazing with fire. It was impossible to pass!

The doctor gritted his teeth, “There’s another stairwell across the corridor! Let’s go there and see!”

Although they had to go through great difficulty to walk through the corridor, they had no choice. They pushed the bed and ran towards the other side of the corridor.

As they were crossing the corridor, something unexpected happened. A man in a white coat rushed towards them. The doctor was very surprised and called out, “Doctor Sato?”

Soon, he realized that the person before them was no longer the “Doctor Sato” he was familiar with, but a bloodthirsty monster who had lost his mind. But it was too late. He was viciously thrown to the ground and bitten by the monster.

“Aaaaah!”

After a scream, a few more zombies gathered and rushed towards the nurses.

The nurses screamed, turned, and fled, leaving only the young man and his dystocia wife plus Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian.

“How could this be? What’s going on? What’s going on!”

The young man burst into tears. He firmly grasped the hand of the pregnant woman, but she was already covered in blood and on her last breath.

“It’s okay! We will live! You will definitely live! I will live too! And our child! Our family! We will all live together!” The young man bent down and picked up his wife, turned, and ran across the corridor.

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian traded a glance and chased them. They encountered zombies several times along the way. The young man was almost caught up by the zombies several times if not for Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian’s timely help.

After a while, they finally reached the other stairwell on this floor.

Looking at the escape route ahead, the young man was happy, “We can get out soon… We can get out soon!”

The wife on his back did not respond but he didn’t notice. He continued to carry his wife and dashed down the stairs.

This staircase was also filled with fire and smoke. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian coughed violently as soon as they stepped into the stairwell, but the young man remained unhesitant and continued to run down with the woman on his back. They could only cover their mouth and nose tightly and continue to follow along.

After who knew how long, they finally reached the first floor and could even see the hospital main doors.

The young man exulted, “We’re almost out! Almost out!”

He ran with all of his strength with the pregnant woman on his back, but just as he was about to run out of the stairwell, a zombie lying on the ground grabbed his ankle and he fell to the ground.

The young man had a brutal fall and the pregnant woman on his back also fell and flew out.

“Scram!” He screamed in pain, kicked the zombie frantically, and then rushed to check the woman’s condition, “Are you okay? Is the child okay? Sorry, I shouldn’t have let you fall…”

He carefully touched the woman’s face and found that she was no longer breathing. He suddenly became stiff.

It turned out that his wife whom he had been carrying had already at some unknown point drew her last breath.

“No!”

The young man collapsed instantly. He touched his wife’s pale, almost transparent face with trembling hands, and yelled in disbelief, “No! This isn’t possible! This isn’t possible!”

“You can’t die! You can’t die!”

He took his wife into his arms, his expression dumb, and became motionless.

The zombie that was kicked away by him got up again, and staggered towards him. But he seemed to have lost all reactions.

Xiao Tangqiu took a quick step forward and shot the head of the zombie with an arrow.

The man remained motionless, completely oblivious to what was happening before him.

Soon, more and more zombies gathered. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian guarded the man’s sides, blocking waves of zombies.

At this moment, Duan Hongzhen and the others rushed over and took up their weapons to join the battle.

The zombies came wave after wave, and then fell one by one.

Xiao Tangqiu had become very proficient in fighting zombies, each of his moves had become more ruthless, accurate, and stable.

Because of the raging fire, the zombies were driven to the lobby on the first floor, which in turn facilitated them to remove the zombies. They only need to stand still and they could kill the zombies coming from all directions.

After an age, they finally cleared the zombies that were driven to the first floor by the fire… When the last zombie fell, Xiao Tangqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he knew very well that everything was not over yet.

Xiao Tangqiu turned around and looked at the man who was still motionless.

The man still held his long-dead wife and his unborn child with a dull expression. Perhaps because of grief, his face was blank and expressionless.

“You can’t die… You can’t die…”

At this moment, Kisaragi said coldly, “They are dead, your wife is dead, your child is dead… Even you, you are also dead.”

“I’m also dead?” The man echoed in question.

“Years ago, there was a major fire in this hospital. Countless patients and doctors died in the fire. This includes you, your wife, and your unborn child,” Kisaragi said indifferently. “Your wife suffered dystocia and it coincided with a hospital fire. The doctors and nurses ran away. Only you and your wife were left in the delivery room… Finally, your family of three died in the fire.”

“No! That’s impossible!” The man was instantly agitated, “The doctor and nurses… They obviously helped me! They helped me carry my wife down!”

Kisaragi coldly said, “That’s just your fantasy. The fact is that they ran away from the beginning… You fantasized that if they didn’t leave your wife to run away, maybe your wife would survive. You fantasized that if you could escape together, you could live. But fantasy is nothing but fantasy. Your wife is dead, and you too are dead.”

The man interrupted Kisaragi furiously, “No! You’re lying! You’re lying to me! I’m still alive!”

Duan Hongzhen sneered, “Are you sure you are still alive?”

Before the man could answer, the throwing knife in his hand had already been thrown, flying straight into the man’s heart!

The man wasn;t able to dodge and was pierced!

And nothing happened.

The man lowered his head and looked at the knife stabbed into his chest in disbelief. Not only was there no blood flowing out, there was not even a wound on his body.

He muttered to himself, “So I’m already dead… I’m already dead…”

“Everything is just your obsession,” Kisaragi said coldly. “Let go of your obsession. Don’t you want your wife and child to reincarnate?”

The man became agitated again, “They don’t deserve to die! The damn doctor should die! The nurses should die! Why did they abandon my wife!”

As he became angry, the fallen zombies stood up again and rushed towards Xiao Tangqiu and them.

Xiao Tangqiu was very tired, “Again?!”

He was already exhausted and no longer wanted to fight zombies!

Duan Hongzhen sneered, “What? You and your wife shouldn’t die, but everyone else should? Why should those doctors and nurses die? This kind of life and death situation, if they help you it’s because they are kind, and if they don’t help you it’s because they don’t want to die either. Why should others sacrifice themselves for you?”

The man flushed, “Shut up! All of you shut up!”

As soon as his voice fell, the zombies became more ferocious. In an instant, their appearances turned extremely hideous, their mouths cracked open from the corners of their lips to the bottom of their eyes, and countless rows of sharp and sharp teeth grew out of them. They roared and charged towards Duan Hongzhen.

Xue Junli had a headache, “Don’t antagonize him!”

Duan Hongzhen’s lips twitched, “How would I know that he is so petty? Getting angry just from a few casual words.”

Tang Mianmian wailed, “What now, what now? There are more and more zombies, and they are getting more and more brutal!”

Duan Hongzhen snorted, “What are you afraid of? Come one and kill one, come two and kill a pair!”

The combat powers of these mutant zombies had increased several-fold. Although Xiao Tangqiu had killed a lot of zombies, it gradually began to exhaust him. A moment of carelessness had him make a blunder. Fortunately, Shen Yuan helped him at a critical moment but he still gained a long and deep bloody wound.

Shen Yuan immediately became angry, “You dare to hurt Jiujiu!”

TN: A quick notice about potential delay in upload in the next few weeks. I live in California, where everything is currently on fire and fire season is going strong. I’ve been lucky enough to live in an area that hasn’t directly burned but the smoke situation is rather terrible and it’s making it very hard for me to do daily life things, including breathing. So there may or may not be some upload interruptions should I need to evacuate due to fires and hazardous air quality or go to the hospital due to health risks. Hopefully, none of that will happen, but I’ll put a notice here just in case.
