Chapter 4

With a roar filled with madness, there was a loud bang!

Shi Ruoyu only saw the zombie that had just thrown its phone fly out like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the wall with a terrifying thud, its body sliding down, head tilting to one side, and it collapsed directly on the ground!

A few seconds later, a gust of wind came from behind, and Shen Wenting's petite and delicate figure appeared beside the zombie that was facing off against Shi Ruoyu. She grabbed the zombie's head with both hands, a cruel smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, and with a twist, a crack sounded, and the zombie's head was turned 180 degrees!

As the zombie fell, Shen Wenting's expression was seen by someone. She was still that little girl, but at this moment, her face was filled with a fierce aura, her lips slightly curled in a provocative manner, and her bloodshot eyes were tightly fixed on Shi Ruoyu!

Shi Ruoyu was truly bitter in his heart, fearing what he feared the most. The one who made a grand entrance was none other than the most terrifying patient in the entire psychiatric hospital, a severe case of multiple personality disorder, combined with autism, depression, and severe mania—Shen Wenting!

Her autism and depression came from her normal personality, while her mania came from her current hidden personality.

Shen Wenting glared at Shi Ruoyu for a while, making his scalp tingle. Suddenly, she turned her head, temporarily abandoning Shi Ruoyu, and with a leap, she clearly aimed for the Nokia 3300 that had fallen to the ground!

Although the zombies had learned to ambush, which was a slight evolution, their brains still didn't work well. They didn't understand the simple principle of seeking benefits and avoiding harm, and they still pounced on Shen Wenting out of instinct!

Shen Wenting first glared fiercely at the zombie in the lead, then struck out like lightning, grabbing the zombie's claw and throwing it in a standard back toss, hitting the two behind it. The three zombies fell like bowling pins!

At this moment, another zombie rushed over, taking advantage of Shen Wenting's unsteady footing and pouncing on her, knocking her to the ground!

Fortunately, Shi Ruoyu reacted quickly, pulling the invisible threads with both hands and tightly strangling the zombie, causing it to let out a roar.

Shi Ruoyu was about to pull the zombie backward with all his might when suddenly he felt his grip loosen. The zombie had stopped struggling. When he looked closely, he was almost stunned!

He saw that although Shen Wenting was still lying on the ground, her small hands had penetrated the zombie's chest and crushed its heart! At this moment, her beautiful face was filled with madness!

To be honest, why Shen Wenting's second personality was so powerful and had such strong fighting ability remains a medical mystery... The hospital director had held several expert meetings, and they concluded that Shen Wenting's second personality might have awakened before and secretly trained... Unfortunately, this personality was too terrifying to communicate with... Otherwise, they could have asked.

However, in the apocalypse, her second personality's combat talent seemed to have found its place!

The problem was that Shen Wenting's second personality was too crazy and completely uncontrollable. The hospital had tried many methods, all of which failed, and could only carefully confine her in the deepest part of the fourth floor, trying not to provoke her and prevent her from transforming!

Shi Ruoyu had always opposed the hospital's approach. He had carefully studied Shen Wenting's case and believed that her second personality was not born out of bloodlust but to protect, to protect herself and the last two messages left by her parents. Therefore, he insisted that this second personality was not inherently evil!

Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted Shi Ruoyu's thoughts. He saw a zombie's claw almost reaching his head, but Ye Yizhou arrived just in time, knocking it away.

Shi Ruoyu felt a cold sweat. He had been too careless just now and couldn't afford to be distracted at such a time!

He looked at Ye Yizhou with gratitude, but the latter continued to fight the zombies with a cold expression, seemingly enjoying the process. Soon, another zombie was smashed to a bloody pulp...

Shi Ruoyu glanced at Shen Wenting, who was crouching in the corner, carefully picking up the phone. He felt a sense of relief and then turned his head to join the battle!

After a fierce fight, they finally managed to repel the large wave of zombies. However, they were all exhausted. Shi Ruoyu and Ren Guobin leaned against the wall, panting heavily. Although Ren Guobin was tired, he was in high spirits. He first watched Ye Yizhou, who was smashing the zombies' heads one by one (who knows why he was so obsessed with this...), then took out a hardcover notebook and recorded: "Today's enemy attack was fierce, but our army bravely resisted and killed... nine enemies!"

Shi Ruoyu was seriously reading his notes when suddenly Ren Guobin's face turned serious, and he said emotionally, "Comrade Zecheng, what about our underground contact? Why are there more enemies coming in? Were they all eliminated? Damn it!!!"

As he spoke, he started waving his hands, and a minute later, he grabbed Shi Ruoyu's shoulders, scaring him. He said solemnly, "Comrade Zecheng, has our underground contact been exposed?"

Shi Ruoyu broke out in a cold sweat, about to speak, when Ren Guobin suddenly stood up, assuming a standard forward march posture, and said passionately, "Even if only four of us are left in the underground organization, we must fight to the last moment!"

At the same time, Ye Yizhou, who had finally smashed all the zombies' heads, carefully took out a poster of Dami from his bag, placed it on a wall, and began to pray devoutly... The funniest part was that Chou also squatted beside him, mimicking his worship of Dami...

However, compared to the other two, the most pressing problem was Shen Wenting's second personality! She was standing in the corner with the phone, looking at Shi Ruoyu and the others with a murderous expression. Not attacking immediately didn't mean she had no intention to kill. She was very patient, but Shi Ruoyu felt her gaze made him uneasy, like an experienced hunter looking at prey...

Shi Ruoyu swallowed hard and said in as gentle a voice as possible, "Wenting... I'm your brother Ruoyu. Don't you recognize me?"

Shen Wenting glared at him fiercely and said coldly, "Shi Ruoyu, I would recognize you even if you turned to ashes. You always find excuses to get close to me! Don't think I don't know your ugly intentions! Men, hah, are all the same!"

Shi Ruoyu's mouth dropped open. This statement greatly surprised him. Shen Wenting's two personalities could share memories! This was not scientific! According to his university knowledge, patients with multiple personality disorder couldn't remember the experiences of their other personalities!

Unfortunately, it was already the apocalypse. Otherwise, this would have been a significant discovery in psychiatric medicine... Shi Ruoyu decided to put academic research aside and deal with the current situation first. He swallowed and said seriously, "Wenting, you should know that the world is almost completely destroyed. Look at those zombies..."

Shen Wenting ignored him, still looking at him with a murderous expression. She probably sensed that he had some ability and didn't want to act rashly...

Shi Ruoyu took a deep breath and decided to use his last trick. He pointed to the Nokia 3300 she was tightly holding and said softly, "Wenting, is the phone okay?"

Sure enough, this question softened Shen Wenting's expression a bit. She looked down seriously, and a few seconds later, her face turned ashen, and a wave of murderous intent burst out! Well, he didn't need her to say it; Shi Ruoyu guessed the phone was broken...

Seeing her about to go berserk again, Shi Ruoyu quickly shouted, "Wenting, wait! There are still accessories. There are many accessories in your room. We can go back, find them, and I'll try to fix it! If you remember me, you should remember that I fixed this phone for you before!"

Sure enough, Shen Wenting's expression improved a bit. She stood there hesitating for a long time before saying, "You won't lie to me?"

Shi Ruoyu said with a mix of laughter and tears, "Wenting, there are only four of us left in the entire hospital, and Ah Chou. We need to take care of each other..."

Shen Wenting glared at him and said with a cold laugh, "Less talk, fix my phone quickly!"

Shi Ruoyu nodded repeatedly and signaled to Ye Yizhou and Ren Guobin. Ye Yizhou, as usual, was silent, put away Dami's poster and the small altar, and followed him.

Ren Guobin, slightly dissatisfied, muttered, "This female comrade who looks a bit like Zuo Lan should consider the bigger picture. A phone is a small matter... Our great cause is the bigger picture..."

Shi Ruoyu quickly pulled Ren Guobin, who was about to give a lecture, to stop him from provoking Shen Wenting.

Fortunately, he quickly came up with an idea, "Comrade Guobin, I need to criticize you. You don't understand the situation. That phone is actually a miniature radio transmitter for us to contact headquarters. Didn't you see? Comrade Xiao Shen was using her life to protect this transmitter! How can you criticize her for not considering the bigger picture?!"

Ren Guobin suddenly understood, looking at Shen Wenting with guilt, ready to apologize. Shi Ruoyu quickly stopped him, saying that they were all comrades and didn't need to be so formal. They were all for the new China, to defeat the Japanese invaders, and to liberate all humanity, so there was no need to be so verbose.

Thus, Shi Ruoyu led the three of them back to Shen Wenting's room on the fourth floor. He knew exactly where to find a drawer in the bedside table filled with 3300 accessories, all stored in an iron box that was originally a small lunch box.

This was a good opportunity for Ren Guobin and Ye Yizhou to rest. They were all tired from the continuous battles. They were psychiatric patients, but not iron men.

Ah Chou was also tired, lying tightly at Ye Yizhou's feet. The latter took out a few peanuts from his pocket and fed them to the dog.

Shi Ruoyu, meanwhile, was busy repairing the phone. The phone had mainly shut down because it hit the wall when it was thrown. Shi Ruoyu used tools to restart it, and it worked! He had to admit, the quality of Nokia back then was top-notch!

Shi Ruoyu was overjoyed and quickly pointed to the phone to report the good news to Shen Wenting. However, when he looked up, he was stunned to see that the once fierce Shen Wenting was now curled up in the corner, sleeping like an injured animal... It seemed that the last time her second personality caused chaos in the psychiatric hospital, it ended the same way—she was tired and fell asleep...

Shi Ruoyu sighed, feeling a wave of fatigue. He thought about carrying Shen Wenting to her own bed to rest, but suddenly, Ah Chou, who was eating peanuts, barked fiercely.

Ye Yizhou, with a serious expression, barked back at Ah Chou and then said, "A large wave of zombies is coming!"

Shi Ruoyu exclaimed, "You can talk?! And... how do you know it's a 'large wave' of zombies?!"

Ye Yizhou: "..."

Soon, Shi Ruoyu found out. A large wave, at least thirty to fifty zombies, appeared in the corridor on the fourth floor! The poor doctor screamed, "Oh no!"
