Chapter 197 - Chapter 197, Doomsday Escape 03】

This sudden turn of events left the surrounding doctors speechless.

The male doctor, startled by the bite, jumped up from his seat: "Why did you bite me?!"

The Emergency Department doctor smiled and licked the blood from his lips with relish, his originally dark eyes gradually turning scarlet.

The head of the infectious disease department was the first to react: "He's infected! We need to get him under control!"

Several people rushed forward in a flurry to subdue him, but the Infected was agile. He kicked over a chair and crawled nimbly under the table like an insect. Not only did the group fail to control him, but they were also bitten in large numbers by him!

Chaos erupted in the conference room, where the old director roared, "Quickly, you security guards, grab him right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of security guards rushed over.

The dean breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the security guards would control Infected —but to his surprise, after the security guards rushed into the conference room, they quickly grabbed the other doctors around them and started biting them like mad dogs!

A piercing scream erupted from the meeting room: "Ahhh, my finger's been bitten off!" "Oh my god, are all these security guards infected?"

Xiao Lou's expression changed— the director of the Emergency Department, Xu Rongrong who took the mother and daughter to the Emergency Department, and the security guards who handled the emergency were all bitten by the mother and daughter and infected with the parasite.

The old hospital director's expression changed, and he quickly fled the conference room. Several doctors followed him out the door—these hospital leaders were indeed seasoned veterans; they ran faster than rabbits when it came to escaping for their lives.

Xiao Lou was sitting by the window, in a position that made it inconvenient to run away, and all the security guards turned around to look at him.

Everyone had a smile on their face and was licking their lips, as if they were looking at the most delicious food.

The thought that their minds were filled with unknown parasites sent chills down Xiao Lou's spine, and he immediately retreated to the window!

Xu Rongrong was closest to him and reached out to grab his arm.

Just as her hand was about to touch Xiao Lou, a bullet suddenly shattered through the window and entered—

With a loud bang, a hole was shot through the window, and a bullet struck Xu Rongrong precisely in the forehead!

One shot to the head!

Yu Hanjiang's marksmanship was impeccable. Xiao Lou stared at the woman lying at his feet, his palms sweating profusely. The security guards and the infected doctors surrounded him from behind. Yu Hanjiang's voice echoed in his mind: "Quick, jump out the window!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Lou turned around, pushed open the window, and jumped out.

This is the eighth floor!

Xiao Lou had never done anything so thrilling or exciting before. The moment he jumped out of the window, he couldn't help but close his eyes—it was just too high, and he didn't dare to look down.

However, the next second after her body was airborne, her waist was wrapped with a soft white silk.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful force was transmitted through the white silk, and Yu Hanjiang pulled his arm back forcefully—

Xiao Lou was dragged directly to the roof of the inspection building across the street by Yu Hanjiang!

Due to inertia, Xiao Lou's body lurched forward uncontrollably, but Yu Hanjiang immediately stretched out his arms and caught him steadily.

Xiao Lou threw herself into the man's arms.

Yu Hanjiang gently hugged him and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

Xiao Lou felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest—he was actually pulled directly from the air by Yu Hanjiang, leaping more than 20 meters through the air. It was like performing a circus act, so exciting!

Looking up, Xiao Lou met Yu Hanjiang's concerned gaze and realized she was nestled in his arms. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she immediately straightened up, took a step back, and said calmly, "It's okay, they didn't touch me."

Across the street, a group of security guards and doctors were staring intently at Xiao Lou from the window. Their crimson eyes were like those of hunters eyeing their prey, but unfortunately, they couldn't leap through the air and couldn't reach Xiao Lou.

Yu Hanjiang saw those pairs of eyes in the distance, frowned, and said, "Let's retreat quickly."

Without further hesitation, the two quickly went downstairs and left the hospital.

The infection situation is even more serious in the outpatient building. After the mother and daughter bit Nurse, a doctor in the Emergency Department, it wasn't taken seriously because no one knew it was a dangerous parasite. The bitten person mutated and continued to bite those around them.

similar...

The building was filled with piercing screams, and some people with weakened immune systems died on the roadside.

Xiao Lou couldn't bear to watch any longer and quickly fled the hospital with Yu Hanjiang.

People were coming and going on the street, and the pedestrians looked normal. At present, the epidemic does not seem to have spread to the streets.

Thinking back to what just happened, Xiao Lou was still shaken—

Fortunately, he was cautious enough to wear two layers of gloves when treating the mother and daughter's wounds today, avoiding contact with the parasites. Otherwise, he might have been infected himself if he hadn't been careful!

This unidentified parasite likely enters the human body via the bloodstream and rapidly invades the brain. Those who die after infection may have suffered brain hemorrhages due to an unsuitable brain environment for the parasite's survival, while survivors lose control of their bodies to the parasite. The parasite, wanting to reproduce, will naturally control the infected body to attack other humans.

The parasitized creature can still speak normally. Is it some kind of intelligent insectoid creature?

Seeing Xiao Lou's pale face, Yu Hanjiang gently pressed his shoulder and whispered comfortingly, "It's alright. Let's go to the square and meet up with Ye Qi and the others. What conclusions did the doctors reach during the meeting?"

Xiao Lou took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and said to Yu Hanjiang through the Telepathic Connection: "It's an unknown parasitic infection, much more dangerous than the Zombie Virus. The Zombie Virus Infected are slow-moving and unconscious, just a bunch of clumsy walking corpses. But this parasite eats up the human brain and takes control of the human body, making humans more agile. I just saw an Infected crawling on the ground like an insect."

Recalling that scene, Xiao Lou clenched his fist and said seriously, " Infected is equivalent to brain death, but the body is taken over by parasites. These parasites have intelligence and can command humans to speak and act. Moreover, in the eyes of the parasites, we humans are the freshest and most delicious food."

Yu Hanjiang: "..."

He thought it was a more advanced zombie, but he never expected that Infected's brain had been parasitized by an unknown creature.

Infected appear to be normal people, able to walk, talk, and even smile—but their brains have been taken over by parasites that could attack humans at any time, causing the parasites to multiply rapidly.

If the epidemic is not brought under control, the entire city could become a breeding ground for parasites.

This is truly a survival escape room of A-level difficulty!
