67: Chapter 63 Infirmary 67: Chapter 63 Infirmary Track and field exit (North).
Outside, the campus corridors ford by walls still stretched with signage placed at the fork.
The teaching building to the north was the closest.
After less than ten minutes of running, they could see that familiar yet strange teaching building.
They had lived in Fourth Middle School for three years, spending about half of their ti in the teaching building every day, but they had never seen it so dark and almost completely devoid of any light.
Nor could they hear any sounds coming from inside, not even a slight one.
Darkness and silence,
Only so street lights downstairs provided faint lighting,
The teaching building was shaped like an “E” and had six floors.
The campus infirmary was located in the middle building, conveniently accessible to students for treatnt equivalent to that provided in regular hospitals.
Xiao Ying reminded, “Important areas like the infirmary are equipped with multiple power generators, so it doesn’t matter if the entire building is without power, let’s go straight there.”
“Okay.” Gao Yuxuan nodded, clearly feeling that Luo Di’s condition was worsening.
As they made their way towards the infirmary,
Gao Yuxuan also sharply noticed that the open spaces between the teaching buildings were covered with large amounts of dried bloodstains, swirling in pattern.
Upon seeing these swirls, Xiao Ying imdiately had a stress reaction, quickly recounting their previous encounter in the dormitory building.
Perhaps similar deforrs like the dormitory manager existed in the dark teaching building as well.
Fortunately, the infirmary was located on the first floor on the outermost side, allowing direct access.
The door was not locked.
The entire infirmary was also shrouded in darkness.
Using the light provided by the streetlights, they temporarily saw no one inside.
Xiao Ying explained, “Most dical staff are stationed in the Sports Center to ensure that students can receive tily and effective treatnt during physical testing periods.
It is strange that the attending doctor here is also gone.
It should be empty; otherwise, they would have started the generator.”
Xiao Ying, unafraid of the darkness, stepped ahead, skillfully found a powerful flashlight from the cabinet, and lit up the entire infirmary.
After ensuring further that no one and no deforrs were inside, she led the two to the second floor of the infirmary where various dical devices and hospital beds were located.
Of course,
During the ascent, Xiao Ying was very careful, thoroughly checking each area to ensure that no danger was hidden in the infirmary.
Upon reaching the second floor, the frail Luo Di was gently placed by the two onto a hospital bed,
They thought with such severe injuries and the side effects of zombification, Luo Di would be in a very critical situation, possibly falling asleep never to wake up again.
But Luo Di laid on the bed with his eyes wide open, showing neither desire to sleep nor any signs of pain.
Now, a very tangible problem lay before them, even if the generator worked, the school doctor was not here, making it impossible to perform an arm graft surgery.
However, Xiao Ying took out a level of dical proficiency far beyond a high school student,
She first found a biological energy generator, a technological product of a “major company,” which only required a specific type of ionized nutrition fluid to operate, silent and highly efficient in energy conversion.
After powering up the entire infirmary, Xiao Ying imdiately wrapped the severed arm in cling film and stored it in a low-temperature freezer.
In this way, as long as everyone could hold on till the end, Luo Di could be transferred to a central hospital to receive the best limb graft surgery without any side effects lingering.
Following that,
Xiao Ying also gathered various dicines, including anti-inflammatory, pain relievers, and nutrition supplents.
She even prepared an IV bag and personally administered the needle to Luo Di.
She then proceeded to use tweezers, scrapers, and other tools to efficiently treat the wounds on Luo Di’s body, cleaning, disinfecting, and sewing the wounds.
While patiently handling everything, she said,
“My hands are quite steady, and I’m good at using various small objects.
I was selected to help in the infirmary in the second sester of my freshman year, so I know a bit about basic dical procedures.”
“Thank you.”
As Luo Di took his dication and received the fluid infusion, he could noticeably feel much better,
However, he had not reversed his zombification and it seed he had no intention of staying here for long.
On the other hand,
Gao Yuxuan, also skilled in dicine and inclined towards traditional Chinese dicine, seed very aware of Xiao Ying’s expertise in this area, so he didn’t interfere with treating Luo Di’s injuries and was instead making other preparations.
He rummaged through the dicine cabinet and gathered several high-risk dications to carry in syringes.
He even unexpectedly found a pack of cigarettes in the dicine cabinet,
Though nicotine was not a good substance, it could enhance alertness and have a stimulating effect in the current situation.
Then,
Holding a cigarette in his mouth, but not lighting it, as smoking was forbidden in the infirmary and the severely injured Luo Di was still present.
Gao Yuxuan stood in front of the dicine cabinet, adjusting his glasses using the reflection from the glass above, and ran his fingers through his disheveled hair, trying to sleek it all backwards.
After tidying up,
He turned and walked to Luo Di’s bedside, removing the cigarette from his mouth.
“The infirmary environnt hasn’t changed, which might indicate that the changes throughout the teaching building are minimal.
You two stay here and recover; I’ll try to find the class president in the Security Room.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Di suddenly sat up in bed wanting to pull out his IV line only to realize that he no longer had his left arm and couldn’t perform the action.
The next second,
His prosthetic arm instantly exerted force, pressing Luo Di back onto the bed, Gao Yuxuan looked at him with an unprecedented assertive attitude, even pointing his finger at him.
“You stay here and recover properly!
A normal person in your condition would probably be dead by now!
According to you, the class president should be fine.
She’s the fastest in the school, she should be able to et up with the Security Team easily, and then they can work together to confront that Skin Pseudo-Person.
The Security Room is located on the outside of the teaching building, less than three minutes away on foot.
Don’t talk about dangers; staying in the infirmary is equally dangerous.
The best way to increase our survival chances right now is to et up with the Security Team.
Dealing with the Monster the class teacher faces won’t be resolved quickly, and there may even be casualties.
We must rely on ourselves.”
Then, Gao Yuxuan’s fingers ford the number “2.”
“Two scenarios,
First, if we’re lucky, I’ll et up with the class president and the Security Team quickly, then bring them back to the infirmary, so we all gather in one place and can face any Pseudo-Person attack directly.
Second, if there’s no one in the Security Room, I’ll head back imdiately; I wouldn’t do sothing as foolish as exploring the school alone.
Later, when you’ve recovered a bit, we can search the teaching building and its surroundings together, attempting to find the class president.”
Xiao Ying, who was bandaging Luo Di’s wounds, also nodded in agreent, believing the deputy class representative’s plan was indeed the best solution currently.
The three of them staying in the infirmary would be extrely dangerous if discovered by a Pseudo-Person.
Now, Luo Di’s injuries completely prevented him from getting out of bed, so soone had to connect with the Security Team.
“Alright, Luo Di, you focus on recovering, see you in a bit.”
Gao Yuxuan patted Luo Di’s shoulder again, tucked the cigarette back in his mouth, and turned to leave.
“Be careful.”
Listening to Luo Di’s reminder, Gao Yuxuan simply raised his hand slightly above his shoulder, making an OK gesture.
As he left the infirmary, he lit the cigarette, took a deep drag to boost his ntal alert, and his walk gradually turned into a run.
His speed needed to be fast,
Leaving the severely injured Luo Di and Xiao Ying in the infirmary was too risky; if a Pseudo-Person caught them off guard during this ti, the two were sure to die.
Both the “infirmary” and “Security Room” were located in the teaching building, one in the middle and the other near the school entrance, the distance between them was even less than two hundred ters, only requiring a slight detour.
Gao Yuxuan ran through the internal corridor on the first floor of the teaching building, but his steps gradually slowed down.
In the semi-open dark corridor,
A “Security” person appeared.
But this fully ard security personnel had no head,
Judging from the shape of the wound, it appeared as though the entire head had been smashed, with the broken neck presenting a whirlpool-like structure.
