Lin Jing held the Tang sword in his hand and looked at everything in front of him coldly. He didn't want to care, but he had to. He had an injury on his hand now. If these six people all turned into zombies, it would be difficult for him to deal with them.
Sure enough, Kang Libo, who had been bitten to death by Ren Mingju, was now twitching on the ground. Lin Jing whispered to Mo Fei beside him, "Watch your backpack. I'll be right back."
"Okay." Mo Fei nodded in response. She held the dog-leg knife in both hands and protected the backpack behind her.
At this moment, Ren Mingju was pressing Wang Zhongkun against the windowsill, and Zhang Fan was pulling Ren Mingju from behind, because Zhang Fan knew very well that if Wang Zhongkun also died, his own situation would only become worse.
"Doctor Wang, please think of a way quickly. Let's work together to push him down the stairs." Zhang Fan tried his best and finally gave Wang Zhongkun a chance to survive.
Wang Zhongkun pressed hard against Ren Mingju's chest, then turned around. He and Zhang Fan each held down half of Ren Mingju's neck and arm, pressing Ren Mingju onto the windowsill behind them.
This windowsill was where Lin Jing and the others had just broken in, so half of the glass was broken. As long as they could throw someone down, they could eliminate the danger.
On the other side, Lin Jing had already rushed towards Kang Libo. Kang Libo was still in the process of mutation. He was lying on the ground and had not yet gotten up, but his skin was already covered with dense purple blood vessels.
Lin Jing made a quick decision and swung the knife towards Kang Libo's neck. Kang Libo was still somewhat conscious at this moment, staring at Lin Jing with resentment.
Lin Jing was not afraid at all. He slashed down with another knife, severing Kang Libo's spine. Before he could completely mutate, he died.
Lin Jing completed the task very easily, but Wang Zhongkun and Zhang Fan felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. The two men were almost unable to hold Ren Mingju down.
Wang Zhongkun saw the knife in Lin Jing's hand, still dripping with blood, and shouted, "Help! Come and save us, or we will all die."
Lin Jing stood there coldly, with no intention of going forward to save people. Judging from the character of these people, it was hard for Lin Jing not to suspect that if he went to save people, he would be bitten back by the ungrateful wolves.
Wang Zhongkun's teeth were about to break, and veins on his body were bulging. Seeing that Ren Mingju was about to lower his head and bite his arm again, he was so anxious that tears were about to come out. "Doctor Xiao Mo, help me, persuade your boyfriend, please, ask him to help."
Mo Fei looked at Lin Jing, stood there without moving, and did not say a word. She was still Lin Jing's burden, so how could she possibly use Lin Jing? Besides, these people were not good people, so she had no obligation to save them.
Seeing that Mo Fei didn't say anything, Lin Jing raised the corners of his lips slightly. He was very satisfied with Mo Fei's performance. He hated people who couldn't make sense of things the most.
Wang Zhongkun saw that Lin Jing really wanted to watch the fun, so he used all his strength and pushed hard at Ren Mingju's neck, "Hurry hard, Zhang Fan, or I'll die, and you'll be next. No one will save us."
"Okay, Peng Xiaoxiao, what are you two doing standing there? Come over and help us. If the two of us die, you won't be able to survive either." Zhang Fan said through gritted teeth.
Peng Xiaoxiao then joined hands with another patient in hospital gown, each holding one of Ren Mingju's legs, and together they lifted him up. At the same time, Wang Zhongkun and Zhang Fan exerted their strength at the same time, and the four of them desperately pushed Ren Mingju out of the window. Only then did Zhang Fan and Wang Zhongkun fall to the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.
The sky gradually darkened. Lin Jing put the Tang sword at his side and wanted to take off his gloves. Even with the gloves on, his palms would still feel pain.
His hands were not very convenient, and he tried to take off the gloves twice but failed.
"Let me do it." Mo Fei said, reaching out and slowly taking off the gloves on Lin Jing's hands.
The room gradually fell into darkness, and only a little light from the window could be seen inside.
Lin Jing was also extremely tired at this moment and urgently needed a good sleep to replenish his energy, but he didn't dare to sleep. There were four living people opposite him, and Lin Jing was worried about them.
Seeing that he still had his eyes open, Mo Fei whispered, "Close your eyes and rest for a while. Don't worry, I won't sleep. I'll be here to watch over you."
Lin Jing looked at Mo Fei through the dim light, and quickly looked away. He only trusted Mo Fei halfway. To be precise, Lin Jing didn't trust anyone.
Chapter 23
Even with the windows open, the air was still filled with the smell of blood and the stench of zombie blood, adding a somewhat eerie atmosphere to the dark room.
"No, you should just go to sleep and have a good rest. We'll leave tomorrow morning. The hospital isn't a safe place." Lin Jing's tone was a little tired, but he knew very well how treacherous people could be. If he closed his eyes now, he might not have the chance to open them after dawn.
Mo Fei listened to Lin Jing's words. It was true that she was not in good physical condition to begin with. After being worried and running for the whole afternoon, Mo Fei was indeed sleepy. She needed to have a good rest so that she would not hold Lin Jing back when they escaped tomorrow. However, she was a little scared to sleep in such an environment.
Seeing her turning over several times, Lin Jing knew that Mo Fei must be scared.
He reached out and patted Mo Fei's shoulder. "Let's switch. You sleep by the wall."
Lin Jing was sitting in a corner. Corners always gave people a natural sense of security. Lin Jing thought it might be better to let Mo Fei sleep here.
Mo Fei replied in a low voice: "Okay."
She and Lin Jing switched places. She rested her head on Lin Jing's backpack, with Lin Jing sitting next to her. Mo Fei felt a little more at ease. Her eyelids gradually became heavy, and then she could hardly open them.
Lin Jing looked at everything in the medical office in the moonlight. The moonlight could only penetrate a short distance, so Lin Jing could not see the other four people in the room.
He lowered his eyes to look at Mo Fei, and seeing that her breathing was steady, he knew that she must have fallen asleep due to exhaustion.
Lin Jing was also very sleepy, and his palms were burning with pain. However, he could keenly feel that after drinking the gene-enhancing potion, his endurance was much better than before. According to the level of danger today, Lin Jing should have needed at least a week of rest to recover. But now, before even one night had passed, Lin Jing felt that he had recovered at least 60% of his physical strength.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the sky turned pale. Lin Jing yawned, took out his mobile phone and took a look. It was already five o'clock in the morning.
Lin Jing stood up and stretched his muscles. He found that except for his hands which were still painful, the rest of his body had recovered well. He had exercised so much yesterday, so his legs should have been sore, but Lin Jing's legs just felt a little empty, not sore like before after strenuous exercise.
The sound of Lin Jing's pacing woke up the people opposite. Zhang Fan carefully held the wooden stool against his chest, looked at Lin Jing vigilantly, and at the same time woke up his other three companions.
Several people widened their eyes and looked at Lin Jing as if they were facing a great enemy, as if Lin Jing was going to do something to them.
Lin Jing snorted coldly, thinking that they were baffling.
After doing a simple stretching routine, Lin Jing took out some water, took a sip and rinsed his mouth, then found some small bread and pickled mustard greens from his backpack.
Mo Fei was awakened by the aroma of pickled mustard greens. She had consumed so much energy yesterday, and although Lin Jing had given her food, it had been digested overnight and nothing was left. Mo Fei was hungry now.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up. Seeing that the four people opposite her were all awake, Mo Fei cursed herself for sleeping too soundly. However, if Lin Jing hadn't been there, she wouldn't have dared to sleep so soundly.
Mo Fei was a little hungry, but she also knew that the things in the backpack were Lin Jing's private property, so it was normal for Lin Jing not to give them to her. She looked away and took out her cell phone to report her safety to her family.
When Mo Fei opened WeChat, she saw that she had received many messages from her mother. She clicked on them and read them one by one.
Cheng Yanhong: Xiaoyu, how are you? Is everything okay over there?
Cheng Yanhong: Ruanruan asked you this before going to bed at night, but you must not rush back, saving your life is the most important thing.
Cheng Yanhong: It's four o'clock in the morning. I just heard another heart-wrenching howl from downstairs. It seems like someone was eaten by a monster again.
Cheng Yanhong: Don't scare me. If you are safe, just send me a message to reassure me.
Mo Fei hurriedly tapped the screen, quickly typed a line of words, and pressed send.
Mo Fei: Mom, I'm fine. I'm with Lin Jing now. He's our neighbor next door. I won't go into details, but we should be able to return to the community today. You and Ruanruan must remember not to open the door to anyone, remember!
Lin Jing ate most of the bread. Seeing that Mo Fei was still hammering away, he took out five small cakes from his schoolbag and threw them over. He also took out the two bottles of Wahaha left over from yesterday, kept one for himself, and put the other one on the space in front of Mo Fei.
"After we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's start thinking of a way to leave. Let's eat first." Lin Jing glanced at Mo Fei and said indifferently.
"Thank you." Mo Fei hurriedly thanked him, inserted the straw of Wahaha, took a sip, and then she began to eat the cake.
The four people opposite were almost envious when they saw that Lin Jing and the others had something to eat. Before, they were still complaining about the water cups in the office because they didn't know whose they belonged to, but now the four of them were so thirsty that they even started to fight over them.
