After leading Ren Guobin out of Room 404, Shi Ruoyu was still feeling a lingering sense of fear.

What shocked him was the zombie's behavior just now!

When that guy approached them, he did so silently, which was completely different from all the zombies he had encountered before. The previous zombies would only let out strange cries and charge at living people as soon as they saw them, without a second action. In short, they had no brains. But the one just now actually knew how to hide and ambush! This was clearly an evolution!

As Shi Ruoyu was thinking, he suddenly heard Ren Guobin say very seriously, "Comrade Zecheng, what is our next task?"

Shi Ruoyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Comrade Guobin, this is the enemy-occupied area. It's best not to call me Comrade Zecheng. You can call me Shi Ruoyu or Doctor Shi... This is my identity in the enemy-occupied area."

Ren Guobin nodded seriously and said, "Alright, Comrade Zecheng."

Shi Ruoyu didn't bother to argue with this mentally unstable person. He looked around the corridor and noticed that the door to Room 408 in the distance was tightly closed. A tall figure instantly came to his mind. Shi Ruoyu said seriously, "Comrade Guobin, there are other comrades we need to save. Are you willing to help me?"

Ren Guobin saluted without hesitation and said, "I obey orders!"

Shi Ruoyu came to the door of Room 408. Three bodies were lying on the ground, their heads smashed in. However, from the name tags on their hospital gowns, it was clear that they were all patients originally on the fourth floor: Old He with mania, Xiao Gao with severe depression who always wanted to commit suicide, and Old Zhong with delusional disorder.

Shi Ruoyu looked at the bodies. Their fingernails had fallen off, and their faces were contorted. He sighed and said to Ren Guobin, who was closely following him, "Old Ren, these three people had already turned into zombies before they died..."

Ren Guobin nodded and said very seriously, "Comrade Zecheng, are these three people from the Military Intelligence Bureau or the National Intelligence Bureau?"

Shi Ruoyu thought for a moment and said, "Pro-Japanese, Wang Jingwei."

Ren Guobin looked enlightened and waved his weapon, saying, "They deserve to die, they deserve to die..."

Shi Ruoyu carefully turned the doorknob of Room 408. With a click, the door opened. As he pushed it slightly, it creaked open slowly!

Almost at the same moment the door opened, a small white figure darted out!

Ren Guobin reacted quickly. He roared and charged forward with his weapon, but fortunately, Shi Ruoyu stopped him in time, saying, "Don't move, it's one of us!"

The white figure pounced on Shi Ruoyu and rubbed its paws against his leg... Yes, this is a typical way for a dog to show affection to a human...

The one that darted out was a bulldog. You can look up its appearance on Baidu. It can be said to be the ugliest dog on Earth, with no exception. Its eyes are one white and one black. Years ago, a dog dealer came to the psychiatric hospital, and because this bulldog was so ugly, Shi Ruoyu bought it for only thirty yuan, which was half a purchase and half a gift.

Unfortunately, the dog dealer didn't know that a purebred bulldog in the United States costs at least ten thousand dollars... This is the most aggressive and powerful dog breed in the world!

For some reason, seeing it still alive gave Shi Ruoyu a sense of inexplicable comfort. He squatted down and lovingly stroked the bulldog's head, saying softly, "Achou, is your owner okay?"

The bulldog seemed to understand him and barked a few times at the room.

Shi Ruoyu pushed the door open, and a towering figure came into view. It was Ye Yizhou, the patient in this room, who had severe communication disorder and delusional disorder!

Of course, there was one thing in the room that was particularly noticeable: a huge poster of Dami! This was nothing unusual, as many people are fans, but the problem was that there was a table in front of the Dami poster with a few incense sticks. Ye Yizhou, the head of the room, was respectfully worshiping Dami...

Shi Ruoyu wasn't surprised. He knew that Ye Yizhou was a die-hard fan of Dami. There was a story behind this. Ye Yizhou had told him that Dami was his savior. A few years ago, he had a serious car accident and became a vegetative state. The doctors tried everything to wake him up from his coma, but to no avail. Eventually, his family was about to give up. One day, his neighbor turned on the radio, and "Love's Supply" by Dami came on...

Guess what? Ye Yizhou sat up immediately and turned off the radio with a snap!

So, Dami has many fans, and most of them are her movie fans, but Ye Yizhou is her hardcore music fan!

To get back to the point, Ye Yizhou is nearly 1.9 meters tall, extremely muscular, and looks very intimidating. After he finished burning incense for Dami, he turned around and stared blankly at Shi Ruoyu, saying nothing.

Shi Ruoyu coughed and said, "Brother Ye, you know the situation outside, come with me..."

Ye Yizhou: "..."

Shi Ruoyu took a deep breath and said, "I know you don't like to talk, or rather, you never talk, but I also know you can understand. It's not safe to stay here. Take Achou and come with us!"

Ye Yizhou: "..."

Alright, Shi Ruoyu knew that this guy had a problem and couldn't communicate with humans, but he spent his days squatting outside and talking to cats and dogs. It seemed he could exchange thoughts with these mammals... No doubt, the dean had diagnosed him with severe delusional disorder.

Although Ye Yizhou was mostly quiet and posed no threat to others, once he was provoked, he became extremely aggressive (in fact, everyone on the fourth floor was). Once, the hospital's chief doctor killed a stray dog and a few doctors and nurses gathered to eat dog meat. Ye Yizhou followed the smell and attacked them in a frenzy...

In the end, all the hospital staff had to engage in a fierce battle with Ye Yizhou to subdue him. However, from then on, he had no good feelings towards the hospital staff, especially those who had participated in the dog meat hotpot. Whenever they entered his field of vision, he would charge at them like he had seen his father's killer...

Fortunately, when intern doctor Shi Ruoyu came to the hospital, he did two things that calmed Ye Yizhou down. One was giving him the poster of Dami, and the other was buying the bulldog Achou for thirty yuan out of his own pocket and successfully convincing the dean to allow Ye Yizhou to keep it in his room.

To get back to the point, Shi Ruoyu sighed and changed his strategy, saying, "Dami is in danger outside and needs your help."

Ye Yizhou's expression changed slightly, but then he turned and pointed to the altar... It seemed he meant that even if Dami died, he would burn more incense for her!

A cold sweat broke out on Shi Ruoyu's forehead. Just as he was about to use his ultimate move, Ren Guobin suddenly roared. At least five or six zombies were making strange noises and charging at them!

Shi Ruoyu reacted quickly. With a sweep of his hands, invisible threads acted like tripwires, causing the leading zombie to fall flat on its face!

However, the second zombie unexpectedly leaped over the first and pounced on Shi Ruoyu with a howl! This greatly surprised Shi Ruoyu, who was unprepared. In a panic, he tried to use his ability to entangle the zombie but missed the best opportunity!

At the same time, Ren Guobin was being attacked by several other zombies and was struggling to defend himself!

At this critical moment, the zombie's movements suddenly paused. It turned out that the bulldog Achou had bravely pounced and bitten the zombie's leg. This dog was incredibly strong, and its bite made it impossible for the zombie, whose strength had increased after mutation, to break free!

Seizing this precious opportunity, Shi Ruoyu quickly wrapped his hands around the zombie's neck and pulled with all his might! The zombie struggled desperately, trying to free itself, but Shi Ruoyu wouldn't let it. His face turned red as he seemed to be using all his strength!

Just as they were locked in a fierce struggle, the zombie that had been tripped got up unsteadily and lunged at Shi Ruoyu with its mouth wide open!

Shi Ruoyu was already struggling with the first zombie and saw another one coming. He called out in alarm. At this critical moment, a huge figure suddenly blocked him. Ye Yizhou grabbed the zombie by the shoulders and, with a roar, lifted it up!

The zombie struggled in the air, but Ye Yizhou, showing no mercy, slammed it viciously to the ground!

The zombie was dazed by the impact, and Ye Yizhou immediately swung a stick and smashed its head repeatedly. Soon, the zombie's head was completely smashed, just like the three bodies Shi Ruoyu had seen at the door earlier...

After he had killed the zombie, he rushed over to help Ren Guobin. The guy was really strong, fighting three zombies at once without being overwhelmed. When Shi Ruoyu, Ye Yizhou, and Achou joined the battle one after another, the balance of power quickly shifted, and they finally eliminated this wave of zombies.

Shi Ruoyu, panting heavily, sat on the ground to rest. Ren Guobin was covered in blood, but despite being in his forties, he was still in good shape. He pointed at Ye Yizhou and asked, "Comrade Zecheng, is he one of us? Why doesn't he talk?"

Shi Ruoyu, still catching his breath, said irritably, "Comrade Ye Yizhou, to avoid exposing our party's cause, has developed the habit of not speaking..."

Ren Guobin looked at Ye Yizhou with admiration, patted his broad shoulder, and said sincerely, "Good comrade!"

Shi Ruoyu didn't want to argue with these two. His gaze fell on the tightly closed iron door at the far end of the fourth floor! All the other rooms on the fourth floor had ordinary wooden doors, except for this one. There was no other reason; this room housed the most terrifying person in the entire hospital!
