Since the zombie virus outbreak, the F City government ordered hospitals to take in survivors. They did their best to clear out one floor of the inpatient building to house hundreds of people. However, the government then fell silent. As more people were received, the second floor became insufficient, forcing multiple people into a single room.
If they were to clear the third floor, they believed they lacked the capability. The remaining hospital staff were ordinary doctors and nurses, along with patients, with few capable individuals.
Ye Yunzhou's expression was grim, his eyes cast down. "I understand, Professor, but should we just watch them die?"
The middle-aged man sighed. No doctor wanted to refuse aid. "If the zombies on the third floor can be cleared, we can save more people." He patted Ye Yunzhou's shoulder and left the ward.
Xu Qian stepped forward and touched Mei Yuebai's forehead. Seeing his complexion improve, she relaxed her shoulders, her whole body easing.
The system hadn't warned her when the mission target was in danger.
[Ding, mission target encountered danger 10 kilometers away. The system will not provide a warning.]
[Fine, he's lucky and resourceful; he won't die.]
[Ding, host, your favorability towards Mei Yuebai is 30.]
[Oh.]
Ye Yunzhou lowered his gaze, averting his eyes. He couldn't bear to see a couple showing affection.
As he looked, he noticed bloodstains on the ground, leading to the girl's feet. He frowned. "Classmate, is your leg injured?"
Xu Qian froze. Her body had been so tense for the past few hours that she had forgotten about the wound on her leg.
She bent down and gently pulled aside her pants at the wound, revealing a long, narrow cut that was bleeding.
"Don't move. I'll help you treat it."
Xu Qian sat on a stool, allowing Ye Yunzhou to roll up her pant leg.
From her knee to her thigh, a long gash had opened the flesh, and blood dripped down her leg.
"If it had been any later, it would have become infected."
Ye Yunzhou frowned, looking at the fair, tender thigh before him. His face remained impassive, as if he were looking at a piece of ordinary pork.
He lowered his eyes, picked up a medical clamp, and squeezed cotton. He gently disinfected the wound.
Xu Qian's brow furrowed slightly, and she gritted her teeth, enduring the stinging pain.
Ye Yunzhou glanced up at her, then bent down and blew gently.
Xu Qian froze, her entire body stiffening.
" *Clap* "
The lights went out.
"It's okay. This is an induction light. The disinfection will be done soon."
" *Clap* "
The lights came back on.
After disinfection, Ye Yunzhou's palm was about 5 centimeters from the wound. A soft glow emanated from his palm.
The wound rapidly healed and scabbed over. The pain vanished, leaving behind a long red mark.
Ye Yunzhou's face paled slightly, the light from his hand gradually dimming. Xu Qian's dark eyes flickered, and she quickly retracted her leg.
"Apologies. I used up too much energy treating your boyfriend just now."
"Thank you. This is enough."
Xu Qian looked up at his gentle, handsome face. The halo around him had completely disappeared.
Gu Qing had called her an angel, but Xu Qian didn't think so. She felt the person before her was the angel.
And she was a demon fallen into hell.
She opened the map. The little figures on the third floor were all red and densely packed. There were indeed many zombies.
Xu Qian felt a pang of emotion. They could have saved more people, but there was no place to house them.
She didn't consider herself a saint, but in this situation, to have the ability to help and not do so went against her conscience. Besides, they had saved Mei Yuebai.
