I can't see.

After walking about seven or eight steps, I suddenly felt the IV pole in my hand hit something, and at the same time, there was a muffled sound: "Bang!"

Is that... the sound of hitting a door?

I squinted, my hand supporting myself against the wall, and with one hand holding the IV pole, I finally managed to grope my way to the door. I hadn't reached the doorknob yet, but the moment I looked up!!

I shivered uncontrollably. Even in this nearly thirty-degree weather, I instantly broke out in a cold sweat...

Our eyes met!

A pair of blood-red eyes! Staring intently at me through the small window, less than twenty centimeters wide, on the door!!

What kind of eyes were those!

Devoid of any emotion, bloodlust and killing intent surged from my tailbone straight to the top of my head, a chill instantly pervading my entire body!

Time! It felt as if it had stopped in that instant!!

"Hiss-roar-roar!!!" With a sudden roar, the thing outside the door seemed to confirm something and began to frantically pound on the door!

"Bang bang bang bang bang!" A series of arrhythmic, frantic pounding sounds echoed through my entire body. I couldn't care about anything else anymore. I turned and ran. Although I couldn't see clearly ahead, I had an IV pole in my hand, which could help me probe the path forward!

After running for about a dozen steps, I suddenly felt the IV pole in my hand touch something, and at the same time, the sound of glass shattering rang out!

"Crack! Crash~"

I finally found the window!!

I jolted all over! Raising my hand, I directly pulled open the curtain that was blocking the window!

With a "Swish!", moonlight streamed into the room. My eyes couldn't adjust immediately, and after closing them tightly for a moment, I finally saw the scenery in the distance...

It was still the city I was familiar with, still the streets I knew... But why were all the cars on the street stopped so haphazardly?

Why were people walking crookedly down the street, and why...

"Why isn't a single light on!!" I was somewhat collapsing! The visual impact of this scene was definitely more real than any American blockbuster!

That kind of genuine feeling was definitely not something one could get from watching a movie!

Looking at everything before me, I was stunned.

Chapter 2: Escape

The wind surged in through the broken window. It wasn't strong, just a gentle breeze. My neck felt itchy, and instinctively, I reached out to pat it. My hair fell, landing inside my shirt, making my chest feel ticklish. Suddenly, I jolted awake!!

The sounds from outside the door became clearer. Every impact brought with it the sound of splintering wood!

"Bang! Crack! Bang! Crack crack crack~"

The door wouldn't hold for much longer!

I turned my head and, by the moonlight, finally managed to get a rough look at the thing behind the door, which had already smashed a large hole...

It was a person...

It was a person with a face full of purple clotted blood.

It was a person with a face full of purple blood, blood-red eyes, roaring madly, and pounding on the door!!

Impossible... That couldn't be a person!

What person would still be pounding on the door with an arm that had already broken off? Even a madman couldn't do that!

Because that kind of pain would have already rendered anyone unconscious.

"Zombie...?!" I cried out in terror. A low female voice came from my mouth, reminding me once again of my current location!

Outside the door was a frantic zombie, and behind me was a window over ten stories high?

Be bitten to death by a zombie or commit suicide by jumping?

No! I don't want to choose either!!

I didn't approach the window because it was covered in glass shards. The closest spot to me should be my hospital bed, because the other bed was still very clean and tidy, not looking like anyone had ever slept in it.

Walking a few steps to my bedside, I saw a pair of slippers on the ground. Although they were a size too big, I had to put them on. At least my feet wouldn't be cut by the glass.

I laid the IV stand down beside me and, by the moonlight, took a look at my bed. There was a cabinet next to it. Without any hesitation, I opened it. Sure enough... my personal belongings were all inside, including the iPhone 16SP I had bought with a heavy heart, though it was probably out of battery.

I held the phone directly in my hand because I knew... my phone case was a power bank, the legendary battery case. If nothing unexpected happened, my power bank should still be unused!

Inside were my glasses, but I couldn't use them now because when I looked by the moonlight just now, I found my eyesight had already recovered to a point clearer than when I wore glasses!

Although it was good news, I didn't have time to rejoice. There were only a few other items in the cabinet.

A pack of my Changbai Mountain cigarettes, my zippo lighter, my house keys. I guessed... in the cabinet next to the door, there might be my clothes.

But I couldn't go over there anymore. The zombie that was "banging" on the door had already smashed a small part of it to pieces. At the same time, it had paid a heavy price. The white bone of its remaining half-arm had detached from the muscle and fallen to the ground. The pale bone stimulated my nerves. The door was covered in dark red blood, a bloody mess!

It would probably take less than a minute for this zombie to break down the door!

I wrapped these personal belongings directly in a bedsheet and tied them to my back. I casually picked up the IV stand leaning beside me, twisted it, and found it was indeed detachable. I quickly twisted it a few more times, separating the base from the stand.

My strength had indeed increased. At least it was greater than the strength of my previous otaku body. But there was no time to think now. I directly dragged the nearby iron bed to the door and used it to firmly prop against the already broken door!

As the iron bed was dragged, a harsh "creak" sounded on the ground. At the same time, the entire building suddenly erupted, with roars rising one after another!

Footsteps in the corridor became chaotic and rapidly approached!

I pulled over the bedsheets and tied all the bedsheets from both beds together. Fortunately, the iron bed had bought me enough time. The zombie with the mangled arm could only squeeze half of its body through, with the other half stuck outside the door.

All the bedsheets combined were about several meters long. I didn't have time to count exactly how many meters. Quite a few sounds had stopped outside the door. If I hesitated any longer, I might die here today!

I tied the bedsheets to my iron bed, then wrapped the tied bedsheets around the IV stand twice for cushioning. With everything ready, I strode to the window, raised the stand in my hand, and after a "crackling" sound, I looked at the opening in front of me, which was just enough for me to crawl through. Without hesitation, I squeezed out.

At this moment, the door behind me had also reached its limit. With a "bang!", the door was violently kicked open, and a large group of roaring zombies rushed in chaotically.

"Roar roar roar!!"

I squatted outside the window, one hand gripping its edge, watching the zombies surge in. The impact of this scene truly gave me a taste of the apocalypse. A broken, tattered body, bloodstains the color of dark red all over the room, and some zombies were even disemboweled, their empty abdominal cavities devoid of anything.

A nauseating stench wafted over from that direction. I hesitated no longer, gripping the support pole in my hand tightly, and jumped back!

It whizzed past my ear at breakneck speed. Originally... I thought I would slide directly into the window below, carried by the momentum of the bedsheet, but...

Since it was my first time using this method, I completely underestimated how fast I would fall. In almost the blink of an eye, the bedsheet had detached from the support.

Reacting instinctively, I grabbed the bedsheet that was rapidly drifting away. All I heard was a "rip~" as the bedsheet, unable to withstand the sudden impact, tore apart.
