Xiao Fan immediately stood up, knowing this ward was no longer safe.
Not only was this ward unsafe, but this whole hospital was likely very dangerous.
Hospitals were places with high traffic to begin with. After the earlier commotion, Xiao Fan could vaguely hear roars coming from some of the wards.
Some zombies had mutated inside the wards, but the doors were closed, locking many zombies inside the rooms.
Even so, there were still quite a few zombies in the corridors, most gathered on the other side. They would likely come this way soon.
He had to find a safe place to hide as soon as possible.
He now somewhat wanted to return to his rented apartment, since most of his belongings were there.
Xiao Fan's mother had passed away very early on. His father farmed land in their hometown. He also had a younger sister currently attending high school back home.
Xiao Fan had made several calls earlier. No one had picked up the home phone, and he could not get through to his sister's phone either. Communications networks seemed to be down, probably damaged by the lightning strike.
He needed to get back home, gather his belongings, then he wanted to go home to find his father and sister.
But he also knew this would absolutely not be simple. Shenhai was a second-tier city, but one had to know, the Divine State where he lived had the largest population in the world.
The Blue Bay Planet was massive. With a global population of over seven billion people, the Divine State alone had 1.4 billion people. Even a second-tier city like Shenhai had a population surpassing 100 million.
Wanting to leave this place, transportation was an indispensable necessity.
Although he did not know how things were outside, he could guess that even getting back to his rented apartment would be an extremely difficult journey.
First, just getting out of the hospital would be hard. At the very least, he could not take the elevator or stairs, because going down to the first floor, whether the inpatient or emergency department, would definitely be packed with patients.
No, packed with zombies.
At this time, Annie reminded: "Commander, don't forget there is still your motorcycle in the parking lot."
Xiao Fan nodded. He certainly would not forget. But now was not the best time to retrieve his motorcycle.
It was already 10 pm, pitch dark outside. And the zombies' eyes glowed red, their movement probably not impeded by the night. He needed to wait until daylight before taking action.
"Let's go, we'll find a safe room to hide in first."
Bringing Wang Zhan along, the two swiftly left the room.
Stepping over several corpses in the hallway, Xiao Fan started searching as he moved down the corridor.
The scene in the hallway was like hell on earth. Blood splatters everywhere, scattered limbs and bones, and some places even had unidentified human body parts, making one nauseous and wanting to vomit just from a glance.
If not for Xiao Fan having not eaten in three days, he would have definitely thrown up by now.
In contrast, Wang Zhan was completely unfazed by all this, settling Xiao Fan's heart a little.
Almost every ward had the roar of zombies coming from within. After just a few steps, Xiao Fan gave up on entering the other wards.
Recklessly opening the doors would only bring more danger.
Xiao Fan's gaze fell upon the hospital directory on the wall.
This was the inpatient building of Shenhai People's Hospital. Floors one through seven were all patient wards of various departments.
He guessed the situation was probably similar on the other floors. Everywhere was dangerous.
Wanting to leave the hospital and reach the parking lot in the back would absolutely not be easy.
Xiao Fan's mind raced as he suddenly thought of the initial game map.
The map was the large screen on the left side of the light curtain. Xiao Fan himself was at the center of that screen. At game start, the area around him would light up and become visible.
Within that visibility range, whether allies or enemies, would all be marked on the map in different colors, functioning like a mini radar.
If he had the map now, he'd be able to see the surroundings and avoid areas with many zombies in advance. Leaving the hospital would no longer be difficult then.
He immediately asked Annie about this.
"Reporting Commander, to light up the initial map requires the Commander to construct virtual buildings, a power plant. Only with electricity can the map become visible."
Xiao Fan hurriedly opened the Basic Buildings page, and indeed saw a constructible building.
Power Plant: Cost 800 gold.
In the game, the power plant was the foundation for all buildings. Only with a power plant could other buildings operate.
But Xiao Fan could only build virtual buildings for now, which were relatively cheap.
Still, 800 gold was a considerable amount for current Xiao Fan.
At the very least, he did not think he could earn that much on this floor.
Xiao Fan's gaze fell upon the hospital directory on the wall once more.
"Seventh floor.....VIP wards...."
Xiao Fan quickly realized what the VIP wards meant - they were private rooms, for wealthy and influential people to stay in.
Private rooms meant fewer people, thus fewer zombies.
Wealthy people also meant a higher chance of finding more jewelry, which was Xiao Fan's main motivation for wanting to go there.
Since he could not leave the hospital for now, he might as well take a gamble and sweep through the seventh floor. Success would greatly strengthen his power.
Mind made up, Xiao Fan immediately set off.
There were roars coming from the stairwell, so stairs were out of the question.
With stairs not an option, the only way to reach the seventh floor was by elevator!
Xiao Fan looked at the elevator, on the other side of the nurse's station, which was the side closer to the zombie horde!
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
