he is not human

Chapter 18

"Why is Dr. Xiao so mysterious?" Su Qian couldn't help feeling this way.During the few days in the hospital, Su Qian also felt that although Dr. Xiao was polite to every patient, even the doctors, nurses and all the staff in the hospital, he never really opened his heart to anyone, or even met him. Xiao Ran laughed.

"I'm wondering if he has experienced a period of vigorous emotional injury, and after being injured, he became what he is now, sensitive, and unwilling to trust people. Alas, what is love in the world, it is called life Promise to die." Su Qian said while thinking about it, and she could form a romantic, beautiful and vigorous Mary Su love idol drama in her mind.

"What kind of woman can be matched with such a Dr. Xiao, and what kind of woman can bear to leave Dr. Xiao." Su Qian felt that the only maternal love in her heart was stimulated, she really wanted to Go give Dr. Xiao a hug.

"Are you thinking too much?" Xie Chengyao hit Su Qian with another popcorn. "She's just born with a quiet personality, just like your big cousin."

"It's not that I don't like to talk, I'm introverted and connotative." Xie Chengfeng heard Xie Chengyao's words, and then said that he only had a little fresh side in front of his family.

"Yes, I also think that the first cousin is so introverted and handsome, not superficial like the second cousin." Su Qian also said quickly.The family laughed and laughed.

Mother Xie came over with the cut fruit. "Dr. Zhong has worked hard, come and eat some fruit." She always elegantly placed the fruit plate in front of Dr. Zhong.

"Mrs. Xie, you are welcome." Dr. Zhong said.

"No, Dr. Zhong is a nobleman of our Xie family. Over the years, no matter how big or small it is, he has been obliged to come here. The Xie family has really troubled you." Xie's mother said.

"No, I can't afford to change the kindness of the Xie family to me in this life. If I don't let me do a little thing, my conscience will be even more disturbed." Dr. Zhong said.

"Doctor Zhong is polite, really polite, let's not mention the past, the past is over, we are friends now, so don't mention the past, by the way, the child also injured his hand recently, You can take a look for the child too." Mother Xie pulled Xie Chengyao in front of Dr. Zhong.

"My hand is not in the way, so I don't need to disturb Dr. Zhong's rest," Xie Chengyao said.

"Look at what you said, doctors are parents, come here." Dr. Zhong said.

After all, Dr. Zhong is an elder, and Xie Chengyao couldn't postpone it. He had to walk over. Dr. Zhong took off the adhesive tape on Xie Chengyao's hand. He looked at the wound on Xie Chengyao's hand with a serious face. The wound on Xie Chengyao's hand had scabbed over. , but the situation is still not optimistic. It seems that purple and black are permeating the side. The flesh of the wound on the hand is not rotten, but hard, as if it was burnt. Although it is a small wound, it can be seen It looks scary.

Xie's mother glanced at the wound on Xie Chengyao's hand, her heart ached. "You also said that your wound is not a problem, what has become of it." The only child who didn't let her worry at all.

"That's right, look at you." Xie Chengfeng couldn't help but add insult to injury.

"It's really okay, I don't feel any pain at all." Xie Chengyao comforted Xie's mother and said, but in fact he really didn't feel pain. From the time he was injured to now, he has never felt any pain. This is the only thing he feels weird Although it was a small wound, the wound was quite deep when it was scratched. Now it is recovering quickly, but the flesh next to the wound looks really scary.

"What did you get scratched by?" Dr. Zhong asked seriously, looking at Xie Chengyao's wound.

"The last time I found a living corpse in the hospital, I was scratched by that living corpse." Xie Chengyao said.

"Living corpse?" Doctor Zhong's face became more and more serious.

"What living corpse? Cousin, why didn't you tell me, is it the living corpse that was found in the hospital last night? Is the living corpse the one that can jump around?" Su Qian asked, Thinking back at that time, she had had close contact with a jumping corpse, and thinking about it made her hair stand on end, it was too terrifying.

"Yes, I suspect that someone is using corpses for experiments. I don't know what causes the corpses to jump temporarily." Xie Chengyao analyzed, but he didn't want his family to worry. He had encountered many strange things. , Everything could put him in a situation of death, but he survived all of them. This was just a tiny thing, and he didn't want to cause panic in his family.

"It's all about living corpses, it doesn't matter, you child, you really have to take care of everything." Mother Xie couldn't help complaining.

"Speaking of living corpses, I have indeed seen your wound before." Dr. Zhong said. "I checked the literature before, and it is true that someone who is scratched by a living corpse will have such a wound, but the scratched person will also be infected with the virus through the wound, resulting in disease, and will also be swallowed by the virus, turning into an unconscious body. A living corpse of thought."

"Will Chengyao be in danger?" Hearing what the doctor said, Xie Chengfeng couldn't help worrying about Xie Chengyao, and asked quickly.

I am afraid that the only person involved in this matter still has the face of not worrying at all.

"Probably not." Dr. Zhong said, "If he wanted to get sick, he would have already been sick. It seems that Chengyao met an expert to help you suppress the virus, but now it is obvious that the virus has not completely recovered. Clean up."

"Yes, my wound was treated by Dr. Xiao." Xie Chengyao said.

"Xiao Ran, he is an expert in virology. I remember that when he was studying medicine, he had been researching this virus, so it was your luck that you met him in time. If it was another doctor, you would probably have It really turned into a living corpse."

"What kind of living corpse is it? Why did it appear for no reason?" Mother Xie asked hastily.

"Actually, I have never seen the specific virus. I only read it in medical books on basic research. The wound on Chengyao's hand is also the first time I have seen it in reality." Dr. Zhong said. "I'm afraid that someone is researching some virus and bacteria behind the scenes to control people's behavior and devour people's consciousness. Although I don't know what the purpose of that person is, I can be sure that that person should have succeeded."

"Then what should I do, my cousin's wound will be fine." Su Qian asked worriedly.

"It should be fine for the time being." Dr. Zhong said, "Xiao Ran has more experience in studying this virus than I do. You have suppressed the virus with him during this period, so it shouldn't be a serious problem. If there is If there is an emergency, tell me immediately, and I will immediately notify my team to develop an antidote."

"Then I will trouble you." Xie Mu said.

"Why do I feel panicked after hearing this?" Su Qian said with some fear.

"All of this is just my speculation, and there is no evidence to support it, but what happened behind it may not be simple." Dr. Zhong said.

Xie Chengyao began to feel that his previous guess was correct. The appearance of the living corpses in the hospital was just a prelude, and a lot of things might be involved in the future, but Xie Chengyao just had the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end. If he doesn't investigate and find out the truth, he won't be at ease.

In the past few days, Xiao Ran has switched to the night shift with the sound of the night shift. There are various versions of ghost stories in the hospital, so it is Xiao Ran who is willing to change the night shift with them. I can't hear any signs of trouble. I'm afraid that what happened last time has disturbed the people behind me. I'm so alarmed. The people behind me may have temporarily stopped, maybe they've changed positions, or maybe they're hiding in a dark and unknown corner planning the next time. action.

Xiao Ran came to the barren grass of the hospital. This place has been cordoned off by the police as the scene of the crime, but no new clues have been found in the past few days, so the police stationed here have also withdrawn. After all, all All the stories he told were hearsay, and the real situation was that a dozen corpses were stolen from the hospital. In the entire imperial capital, this was just a small case that should not be put on the table, and naturally no higher-ups would pay attention to it.But fortunately, it didn't cause much commotion. Xiao Ran didn't want too many people to know about it. After all, he had been keeping a secret all along, a secret of his own. It will cause another bloodbath, and some secrets are still hidden in the dark, and it is better not to be known.

Xiao Ran thought of Xie Chengyao. When he saw Xie Chengyao for the first time, he knew that this person was not easy to fool. If Xie Chengyao kept clinging to this matter, it might not be a good thing. Although Xie Chengyao's skill Very good, but after all, he is just an ordinary person. Even an ordinary person cannot win against ordinary living corpses, let alone more advanced zombies.

Xiao Ran sniffed the air lightly. Fortunately, it hasn't rained in the past few days, otherwise a lot of evidence would have been washed away by the rain. The place has been guarded by the police for the past few days, and the senior police chief named Chen Qiyuan is here There, that is a shrewd guy, his eyes are always rolling around him, Xiao Ran naturally won't let Chen Qiyuan see what's going on, so he has stayed put for the past few days, and he didn't come here to look for evidence until today when the police were withdrawn .

Although the breath is weak, with his keen sense of smell, Xiao Ran can still find the whereabouts of the living corpse, and even track down the current location of the living corpse. Maybe he can go to find it tonight. He wants to know where the living corpse is What, it shouldn't be a zombie. Zombies live on human blood, and they don't know how to suck human brains. When the living corpse was found, although the entire stolen corpse was bitten to pieces, the living corpse They only grabbed the brains of the corpses and ate them, and the hospital inspected the dozens of corpses that were smashed. All the stumps could be put together piecemeal, and the only thing that was lost was their brains.

Every corpse is the same, the skull is dug up, all the brains are dug out, why is the brain sucked, what is the living corpse?Moreover, the living corpse is obviously unconscious, relying on biological instinct to inhale, who is controlling this living corpse behind the scenes, and what is the trance bell that he heard at that time?Why every time the bell rang, he would feel a little pain in his head.

"I just said where did Doctor Xiao go, I can't find it anywhere, I didn't expect to see you here." Xie Chengyao appeared behind Xiao Ran, and he looked at Xiao Ran. "I didn't expect Dr. Xiao to be so interested in this case. He came here to investigate the case during his breaks. Maybe Dr. Xiao can consider becoming a detective."

Xiao Ran didn't reply, he pulled his expression away from the thought just now.

Seeing that Xiao Ran ignored him, Xie Chengyao had no choice but to say: "Doctor Xiao, I'm here for a follow-up visit." He raised the back of his injured hand and shook it in front of Xiao Ran.

"Go back to the office." Xiao Ran said.

"Alright." Xie Chengyao followed behind Xiao Ran with a smile.

"Does Dr. Xiao have a girlfriend? I think Dr. Xiao is like a god in the sky. If you have a girlfriend, I really want to see what kind of beauties can catch Dr. Xiao's eyes." Xie Chengyao said as he walked, but he Knowing that Xiao Ran would definitely ignore him, he didn't feel embarrassed, and still smiled to himself.

"Although Miss Qu is quite pretty, she is still not good enough for Dr. Xiao." Xie Chengyao said.

Xiao Ran didn't listen to Xie Chengyao's words at all, he took off Xie Chengyao's bandage, carefully examined the wound on the back of Xie Chengyao's hand, the wound had scabbed over, and there was no such terrible carrion, only a few scratches were left there, Surprisingly, the wound healed well.Xie Chengyao looked at Xiao Ran's bandaged hand, which was slender and well-jointed, which was different from his long-term martial arts practiced thick hands. He thought that Xiao Ran's hands were very beautiful, and Xie Chengyao wondered if there were any shortcomings in Xiao Ran's body.Touching Xiao Ran's fingertips, he found that Xiao Ran's hands were slightly cold.

"Dr. Xiao hasn't had enough rest recently, and his hands feel a little cold." Xie Chengyao said.It was the same when Xiao Ran took pictures of his body at the banquet last time, the fingers touching his neck were also slightly cold.

Xiao Ran ignored him, and took a flashlight to shine on Xie Chengyao's pupils. The pupil constriction was normal without any variation.It seemed that I was overthinking, maybe the living corpse was simply infected by other viruses and lost consciousness.
