Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

"Sir, please wait here for a moment. Our medical team is doing their best to speed up the consultation process." A doctor comforted in a gentle voice.

During the queue, the children began to feel uneasy due to the long wait. They unconsciously grasped the corners of their mother's clothes or leaned against her, as if they needed their mother to give them a sense of security. In a crowded environment like a hospital, emotions can easily be infected and spread.

Ms. Zhang looked at the people coming and going around her, her eyes full of anxiety. Her face became paler and paler, as if she felt the fear in her heart. Mr. Zhang's eyes revealed determination and concern, and he held the child's hand in his hand to calm him down.

The waiting process was full of uncertainty. Every footstep of the medical staff made people around them feel emotional. Despite this, everyone tried their best to remain patient and support each other.

Time passed quietly while they were waiting. Just as they finally approached the clinic, an unexpected news came. According to the new epidemic information, the local area began to implement more stringent risk control measures, and the hospital temporarily stopped accepting new patients until the emergency was alleviated.

Upon hearing the news, everyone seemed a little confused and panicked at first. But Mr. Zhang and Ms. Zhang knew that time is life, so they decided to abide by the regulations and take all possible safety measures in the following days to jointly cope with unknown challenges.

The experience of waiting in the clinic and the sudden lockdown of the hospital left an unforgettable memory for the Zhang family, and became a symbol of the resilience and unity among family members in the face of difficulties and crises. It not only shows the resilience that humans can exert in the face of unknown challenges, but more importantly, it reveals the importance of how families can work together to protect each other in difficult times.

Because of the distance, the car arrived at the destination quickly. However, when the car just stopped at the door of the hospital, it was shocking: the people waiting in line were pale and weak, and some were so weak that they almost collapsed to the ground. Everyone was puzzled, "How could so many people be infected?" Zhang Sheng observed the scene in front of him and frowned deeply, wondering when this wait would end.

To be on the safe side, Yu Xiaowei suggested that they first understand the condition of the patient. If they need to take medicine, then they should find a way to send them home safely. The environment here is so closed and dense that even healthy people will inevitably be infected in such an environment.

In fact, Yu Xiaowei was not worried about being infected himself, but was instinctively wary of such large-scale gatherings and felt that the risk here was extremely high.

Zhang Sheng originally planned to send the patient to the hospital for formal treatment, but he hesitated after seeing such a large group of patients. After hearing Yu Xiaowei's analysis, Zhang Sheng nodded. Even if you are kind enough to help, you can't escape the risk of infection if you stay with the patient for a long time.

When I turned to seek advice from Sister Zhang, I learned that she had worked as a nurse before and had basic nursing skills, which explained why she chose to take care of the patient herself. She had been using physical fever-reducing therapy for her child to no avail, and she was physically and mentally exhausted and could not support herself. To make matters worse, she could not get through to the emergency hotline, so she had no choice but to seek help in extreme desperation.

At this time, Yu Xiaowei had already rushed into the hospital, her movements were cautious and nervous. She checked her bag and mobile phone from time to time, as if she was preparing for what might happen so as not to be caught off guard.

Fortunately, no abnormal phenomenon occurred at this time, allowing Yu Xiaowei to calm down a little. After that, she asked the doctor who was so busy that he almost didn't have time to look up: "Doctor, can you please prescribe some medicine for me? I don't need to use medication here, but I am going to go home..." As soon as she said this, the doctor handed over the prescription in his hand.

It can be clearly seen from the paper next to it that a large number of people came today to seek treatment for the same illness. The doctor obviously has a targeted response strategy and has prepared medications for common patients in advance.

Yu Xiaowei shuttled quickly from the reception to the pharmacy, just because she had the pre-prepared medicine in her hands. At this time, the pharmacy work was fast and smooth due to the unified treatment plan, and the medicines were directly packaged and provided without reviewing the symptoms one by one.

Just as I was about to turn around and walk out of the door with the medicine bottle in my hand, about to bid farewell to these difficult days, a shrill cry rang out among the crowd. Immediately afterwards, the originally crowded and orderly team began to run in chaos.

Yu Xiaowei's face suddenly became tense, and he looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a man covered in blood trying to eat the innocent people nearby. Then he fell down but quickly stood up again...but this time the person who stood up could no longer be called a "person".

Like ink blending into water, the shadow of death and transformation spread rapidly. Whether infected or uninfected, once bitten, they will be transformed into the mutated existence. Indeed, there are some people with resistance who survived the mutation, but if they are unfortunately infected, they will soon become victims among the mutated people around them.

The end of the world has indeed come quietly in this life just as predicted!

Yu Xiao looked at the life form in the distance that was about to fall down and then stand up again. The figure that was no longer a real human was approaching him at a swift pace.

Yes, this is exactly the kind of zombie that moves faster than a character in a slow-motion horror movie—a zombie that can maintain a normal human body speed.

Thanks to her rich survival experience in her previous life, Yu Xiao's body reacts very quickly. Before the zombies arrived, she instinctively pulled out the self-defense tools hidden on both sides of her thighs and threw herself into a fierce battle mode. Even the relatively "mild" zombies in the early stage can still move at the speed of humans, but their fragile physique means that just piercing their heads or atria can cause their lives to pass quickly. However, the panic of zombies in the early stage often prevents people from fighting back in time in critical moments, and eventually becomes victims of zombies or their own kind.

Holding the self-defense tool tightly in her hand, she quickly entered the battlefield state. She stabbed the zombie directly in the heart, and it fell down after a short delay. After struggling on the ground for a few seconds, the signs of life disappeared.

The people around her had not yet realized what had just happened. When they saw her stabbing the knife into the so-called "person's" chest, they were immediately shocked and shouted, "F**k!", "F**k!"

Afterwards, the zombies that first turned into zombies and then crawled up again began to rush towards the crowd.

After Yu Xiao dealt with several more in a row, he found that he did not get a chance to escape. Instead, he was squeezed by the surging crowd and pushed towards the zombie group. Especially at the door, there were some people who did not know what was going on, but showed a strong sense of justice after hearing the rumors. They shouted that they wanted to catch the criminals and send them to the police station. Yu Xiao felt very troubled and annoyed.

"Run, monsters are coming!" Yu Xiao yelled at the people in front of him, then pushed away the crowd around him and rushed towards the exit.

Behind him, there were cries of pain and the sound of hurried retreating footsteps. The crowd outside seemed to have finally noticed something was wrong, and after hearing the warning, they hurriedly ran towards the exit.

However, as people fled outside, some of the uninfected individuals who were still outside were inevitably infected and transformed into zombies. New victims began to appear at the door, and the zombie team spread rapidly, and the threat continued to expand.

Yu Xiaowei was secretly anxious. She knew that the hospital was not a suitable place. Fortunately, she had thought of this and chose the health center, so the number of patients was relatively small. If she were in a large hospital at this moment, her chances of survival would be almost negligible.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaowei rushed towards the door. Unexpectedly, her feet tightened. If she hadn't been nimble, she would have fallen to the ground.

When she turned around, she was shocked to see that the zombie that had lost one leg was biting her ankle tightly - fortunately, the other leg was pinned to the ground by another zombie, so although the hateful zombie bit her ankle skin, it did not touch her mouth.

In a flash, Yu Xiaowei swung his long knife and struck, then pushed back with all his strength and rushed out again. "Xiaowei, get in the car, hurry up!" Although he was outside and didn't know what was happening inside, he could tell from the chaos outside the window that Zhang Sheng, who had been waiting for him, immediately drove the car, opened the door and shouted to Yu Xiaowei.

Yu Xiaowei ran towards the car at full speed, but unexpectedly a zombie rushed out from the room. When he was approaching the car and was about to reach out to grab the door, a zombie suddenly grabbed Yu Xiaowei's shoulder.

Chapter 27 This World Devouring Humans

Feeling a weight on her shoulders, Yu Xiaowei dodged immediately after years of experience in apocalypse. She tilted her head to the side, pulled out the knife from her leg, and attacked in the opposite direction based on experience and instinct, escaping from the predicament with swift movements.

This is also the important reason why she could survive for such a long time in the life-threatening apocalypse without the help of any supernatural powers.

"Ah!" Inside the car, a woman named Chen **, who didn't understand what was happening, suddenly screamed. No wonder she usually lived in a peaceful and prosperous era and had never seen such a fierce attack.

Quickly pushing the controlled zombie aside, Yu Xiaowei got into the car swiftly and ordered Zhang Sheng: "Second Master, get out of here and drive away!"

Before Zhang Sheng could investigate further, he keenly realized that something was wrong, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove back to his original residence.

At this moment, Yu Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face, and then began to wipe off the dirt on the knife in his hand one by one.

"You...you...you don't...how could you..." Ms. Zhang, who was sitting in the back seat, hugged her child tightly and trembled all over, as if she was afraid that Yu Xiaowei would do something unexpected to her child.

"Aunt Zhang, they are no longer human beings outside, look out the window." At this moment, Yu Xiaowei pointed at the car window.
