Time in a collapsing world

Vero City, inside a certain hospital.

"Hey, have you heard? That big singer Eden is going to hold a concert in our city, and it will be at twelve o'clock tonight!"

"Is that so?! It's over, it's over. If I had known that Fanny would not agree to change shifts with her, she must have known about it a long time ago and wanted to go and see it secretly by herself! Wow wow wow! I want to go too !”

"Shh! Don't yell during working hours! I don't want to be scolded by the head nurse again."

At the hospital counter, two young nurses on duty were talking about recent interesting events and various gossips. This was one of the few small pleasures they had during boring working hours.

Boom————!

"Huh?" One of the nurses heard something. It came from the pharmacy, like the sound of heavy objects falling on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Another nurse noticed something strange about her and asked.

"Something seems to have fallen in the pharmacy...I'm going to take a look." After that, the nurse stood up and gradually approached the door of the pharmacy.

Sizzling————

Along with the subtle sound of electricity, the lights in the pharmacy suddenly flickered on and off, and finally went out completely.

"?"

The nurse tried pressing the light switch outside the pharmacy several times, but it was of no use. The inside of the pharmacy was still dark.

Did the light bulb fail again?

She had no choice but to open the door, but was grabbed by another nurse. Turning around, she saw that she had followed him at some point, staring in horror and pointing through the transparent glass window. Touching the ground in the room.

"Blood, blood..." A trembling sound came from his mouth.

"?!" Following the direction of her finger, the nurse also saw that there was a human-shaped shadow sitting behind the shelf, and next to him, a pool of purple-red blood was flowing, slowly flowing towards door.

"How about we call the police first! Is this a homicide? It must be a homicide!" Another nurse suggested nervously.

"No, judging from the color of the blood, it's probably the kind of zombie that's mutating. We have to kill him as soon as possible during this time, otherwise when he mutates completely, this door won't be able to stop him." But this However, the nurse suppressed the fear in her heart and made her own judgment. Her relatives living in other cities were killed by this kind of thing, so instead of running away, she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to strike first. .

"Okay... okay!" Looking at the decisive expression on his colleague's face, another nurse swallowed and decided to accompany her in her madness.

The two of them took out a fire ax and a mop from behind the counter and returned to the door of the pharmacy. But this time, they saw the figure inside standing up and plundering the medicines inside. On his chest, he pinched open the package with one hand and poured all the medicine inside into his mouth as if he was desperate. There was a chewing sound of "click, click, click".

Is this completely mutated? !

The two young nurses flinched again. Although they were holding weapons in their hands, they were still a little weak when facing zombies. After all, as long as they were bitten or scratched, they would most likely be assimilated.

"It's better to call the police..."

"I agree."

The two finally made a conscientious choice, silently took out their mobile phones and called the police.

Dullululu————

But it seemed that the ringing of the phone attracted the attention of the person inside. He put down the medicine in his hand and suddenly turned his head to look at the two people outside the window.

""! ! ! ""

Both of them suffered cardiac arrest. The hands of the nurse holding the fire ax were shaking, and the ax in her hand looked like it was about to fall off at any moment.

"Hello, this is the police, may I ask..." Before the police finished speaking, he was quickly interrupted by a nervous nurse:

"Help! There is a zombie here. It is in the pharmacy of our hospital...it found us!"

"Don't be nervous. We have located your mobile phone signal. Please stay away from it immediately. The nearest police patrol is next to you and will be there soon!"

boom---

As soon as the voice on the other end of the phone finished speaking, the glass door of the hospital was kicked to the ground, making a crisp shattering sound.

Two men in police uniforms each held an automatic rifle and carefully observed the situation inside.

"Did you call the police? Where is the deceased now?" One of them noticed the two young nurses standing at the door of the pharmacy and asked.

"It's right inside!" The nurse responsible for calling the police quickly pointed to the dim pharmacy, but they could no longer see the figure inside through the glass window.

The two policemen looked at each other, walked to the door together, turned on the small flashlight they carried, and shone it in the moment they kicked the door open.

"……nobody?"

But what was before them now was that except for the shelves that had all been knocked down, no one could be seen at all.

"Blake, look!"

One of them seemed to have discovered something, so he called his companion.

They raised their heads and saw the ventilation duct on the ceiling that had been forcibly opened, and directly below it, a pool of purple-red liquid remained.

"...reported that the dead man has escaped, and requested to increase the search efforts in this area."

"it is good."

Outside the pharmacy, two young nurses who were nervously waiting for the police inside to come out suddenly found several banknotes that did not belong to their country floating down in front of their eyes.

Looking up, they saw a pair of eyes looking directly at them from a vent above their heads.

""ah! ! ! ""

The girl's screams echoed throughout the hospital.

……

“Beep, beep, beep—”

On the roof of a twenty-story building in Vero City, Li sat on the edge of the roof, looking at the police cars coming and going below, with a helpless expression on his face.

is it necessary? He just broke into the hospital's pharmacy privately, so dispatching so many police forces at once really looked down upon him.

And he himself was confused. As soon as he regained consciousness, he found that he was in a dark pharmacy, holding an empty medicine bottle in his hand, and two stupid-looking nurses looking at him outside. .

Then two more policemen came. Originally, Li wanted to go out and explain, but because he had the experience of being a thief with Pado before, and seeing the murderous expressions on their faces, he reacted instinctively. He slipped away anyway.

Anyway, all the money he has has been given to those two nurses, so he should be able to pay off the losses he caused to the hospital, right?

Li touched his chest. The original injury there had disappeared, leaving only a small scar. Even he himself didn't know how he survived.

In that case, is there really a way to survive?
