Chapter 10

The female host Xiaxia stood in front of the TV screen, opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but as she was about to speak, her head tilted to one side and her breathing stopped...

Xiaxia's eyes were filled with terror, and after her breathing stopped, her body began to convulse and tremble strangely!

For about ten seconds, the camera recorded Xiaxia's transformation up close, from her dilated pupils to her eyes rolling back, showing no pupils, with blood vessels spreading like spider webs over the whites of her eyes. Then, with a demonic expression and a scream, Xiaxia stood up again, her feet, one of which was wearing a high heel, limping and staggering away from the TV camera.

In the farthest part of the TV screen, the main entrance of the state hospital was visible. In the final scene, a group of people rushed out of the hospital's main entrance in panic, followed by a group of people with demonic expressions, and then the signal was lost, bringing this human tragedy to an abrupt end...

Chen Fei's breathing became heavy and rapid, his heart pounding. The live tragedy and the plot of a movie were very different in visual impact, but Chen Fei was very clear that this was the appearance of a fully developed zombie virus. Anyone carrying the zombie virus would 'rebirth' in this form after death, becoming a walking corpse, a疯狂的传播者 of the zombie virus!

"Chen Fei! Is... is this real? It seems so unrealistic, could it be a prank?"

Nangong Jin had walked to Chen Fei's side at some point, her pale hand with black nails already on Chen Fei's shoulder. Her face, which usually exuded laziness and charm, now showed only the fear and confusion of a helpless woman.

"All of this... should be real. The zombie virus will spread wildly today, and the dead will turn into those crazy zombies. They will bite everyone they see without stopping until the whole world is occupied by zombies."

Chen Fei sighed lightly, his voice showing no obvious emotional fluctuation.

"Many people must have seen that scene. If we isolate all the infected, we should be able to avoid it, right?"

Nangong Jin still couldn't accept the consequences Chen Fei described, because if that were true, it would mean the end of the world.

Boom!!

Before Chen Fei could answer, a loud explosion shook the glass, and he could even feel a slight tremor in the floor. He rushed to the balcony window and saw thick smoke rising from the Central South City Hospital.

"It's the city hospital. Could it be..."

Nangong Jin, seeing the thick smoke from the city hospital, instinctively thought of something and didn't dare to continue.

Hospitals, as places where large numbers of infected people gather, would become the center of disaster once the virus fully erupted!

Chen Fei immediately thought of Mu Meiqing, and the thought of such a beautiful woman turning into a zombie made him feel sorry.

If the world were to be occupied by zombies in the future, he would have to take on the important task of reviving humanity. So, leaving behind more genetically superior survivors, like Nangong Jin and Mu Meiqing, would be a great benefit to humanity!

Should he go and bring Mu Meiqing back while the zombie virus was just starting to spread? There shouldn't be many zombies yet, so it should be easy...

However, just as Chen Fei had this thought, he heard a series of sharp braking sounds and violent collisions. He realized that the street in front of his window, which had been sparse with only a few cars, now had seven or eight cars crashed together, creating a chaotic scene. A white two-box sedan had been crushed into a pile of scrap metal by a blue van, followed by screams and cries echoing down the street.

Chen Fei quickly took out his binoculars to see the car accident. He hadn't seen the entire process, so he didn't know the cause, but from the way the people got out of their cars and angrily surrounded the blue van, it seemed the accident was caused by the blue van.

These people, surrounding the blue van, were all agitated. From their loud voices and angry expressions, it was clear they were about to confront the van driver. However, no one came out of the van's cabin for a long time.

Finally, a burly man, in a fit of rage, rushed to the van's cabin, opened the door, and pulled out a thin man from inside.

But before the burly man could argue with the thin van driver, the van driver suddenly leaped onto the burly man like a monkey and bit his neck.

This scene made Chen Fei's scalp tingle. He knew exactly what was happening on the street!

The van driver was definitely a carrier of the zombie virus, and the virus had just fully erupted, turning him into a zombie. After a zombie bites someone to death, it takes only 10 to 15 seconds for the dead person to turn into a new zombie and start spreading the virus.

Chen Fei watched with his own eyes as the people on the street all turned into zombies within five minutes. He had no doubt that the virus would spread as quickly as in the movies, destroying a city with millions of people in just one day.

Chen Fei didn't have the courage to go to the city hospital to save Mu Meiqing. Compared to the streets full of zombies, the most dangerous situation was the chaos with both zombies and people trying to escape. The wisest course of action was to stay at home and not go out.

Chen Fei took out his phone and repeatedly called Mu Meiqing's number, finally getting through after 38 attempts.

"Breath... breath... Chen Fei, the patients in the hospital have gone crazy! I saw a patient bite Doctor Chen to death, and then Doctor Chen turned into the same kind of zombie and chased after others! Oh my God! This isn't just a flu virus!"

Mu Meiqing's breathing was rapid, her voice filled with panic. The fact that she could answer the call meant she had successfully hidden.

After Mu Meiqing's rapid, breathless explanation, Chen Fei spoke in a serious tone.

"Sister Qing! It's not just the hospital; the streets are also full of such infected people. I saw a whole street turn into zombies in five minutes and start attacking others. So, you'd better not come out. Stay hidden and wait for rescue!"

"What? The virus is spreading so fast!" Mu Meiqing exclaimed, terrified by the speed of the spread.

"Sister Qing, did you prepare food and water as I told you?" Chen Fei quickly asked the most important question.

"I... I was too busy and didn't have time to prepare! But I have a large bucket of purified water, two breads, three packs of cookies, and a bag of chips!"

Chen Fei cursed inwardly. He had repeatedly and seriously reminded her!

Mu Meiqing clearly hadn't taken it seriously. A large bucket of drinking water could last seven to ten days if used sparingly, but this amount of food wouldn't last even two days!

What made Chen Fei even more frustrated was that he could hear other people's voices, meaning Mu Meiqing would have to share the food and water with others!

"Doctor Mu! Look downstairs! Oh my God! Those people are crazy; they're even biting the police!"

"Oh my God! This virus spreads so fast. Indeed, anyone bitten is infected..."

"Doctor Mu, should we call the police for help? We're definitely trapped!"

"..."

The phone transmitted the soft voice of another woman, followed by Mu Meiqing and the woman's cries of alarm.

Chen Fei took a deep breath to keep his mind clear. Since the situation had already occurred, he needed to think of a way to help Mu Meiqing escape.

With the zombies multiplying at this rate, even the military would find it difficult to control the situation. The trend of zombies spreading in Central South City and the world was inevitable!

At this point, the military could only gather together to protect important figures and some ordinary people in a specific place to ensure humanity's survival.

To survive in the apocalypse as an ordinary person, one could only rely on oneself...

Understanding this, Chen Fei interrupted the cries of alarm from the other end of the phone.

"Sister Qing, from now on, you need to strictly plan your food and water. Also, be prepared for the possibility that no one will come to rescue you. I'll try to go to the city hospital when the situation stabilizes. Tell me where you're hiding."

After the initial panic, Mu Meiqing quickly regained her composure and her usual aloof demeanor.

"I'm hiding in the orthopedic clinic on the third floor of the outpatient building..."

Pausing, her tone softened as she continued:

"Chen Fei! If the situation really becomes as serious as you say, and no one comes to rescue us, then... then don't come! It's too dangerous!"

"Sister Qing! Do you think I'm the kind of person who would abandon you? I admit I've deceived you many times, and... I've peeked at you, but now I promise I will find a way to save you! Just remember what I said, and this time, you must listen to me!"

After saying this, Chen Fei hung up the phone. This was the first time he had spoken so firmly to Mu Meiqing.

It felt good! Chen Fei almost mistook himself for a dominant, invincible man like Donnie Yen.
