Chapter 22 - Cut the grass to remove the root

"Lan Ye, if I catch you smoking again, I will..."

Su Nan clenched his fist and waved it at Lan Ye in protest, then turned and walked into the ward, slamming the door.

The weak voice of Su Nan's mother could be heard faintly in the room:

"Su Nan, don't run around. If you run into those gangsters again, it will be dangerous for a girl like you."

Yu Ze and Lan Ye looked at each other. Dangerous? The gangsters are the ones in danger, right?

Lan Ye thought "Don't you know how good your girl is at fighting? Two of the three guys outside were knocked down by her. I may not be able to beat her in a one-on-one fight, especially when she kicked the fat guy's head at the end. I shuddered all over."

"It's all your fault. Now I'm out of cigarettes and I'm counting on tonight to satisfy my craving." Yu Ze said in a low voice, shoving Lan Ye.

"Tsk, can you blame me for this? I didn't want to do that either. Who knew this female bandit was so arrogant?"

Before he finished speaking, the door in front of him suddenly opened. Su Nan leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, looking at them with a smile:

"Just now, I seemed to hear someone say I was a female bandit?" Su Nan said and walked over.

Without any hesitation, Lan Ye and Yu Ze turned around and ran, crawling to the next ward and slamming the door.

Seeing their panic, Guo Weijie and Jason, who were packing up inside, immediately became nervous: "What's wrong? Zombies broke in?"

Lan Ye panted, swallowed his saliva, and waved his hands repeatedly:

"No... It's more terrifying than those monsters."

He and Yu Ze looked at each other and saw the same feeling in each other's eyes.

Don't mess with women, especially beautiful women who are good at fighting.

...

Although the hospital is now completely blocked, fortunately, the water and electricity are still connected.

Lan Ye saw that there was an electric kettle in the ward and running water in the bathroom, so they didn't have to worry about the water problem at least. The mobile phone had no signal, so after charging it, it was used to check the time and lighting.

They didn't have much food, but if they ate sparingly, they could last about a week.

Lan Ye tried to go to the duty room to ask Guo Weijie to help adjust the surveillance to see if he could find Doctor Shangguan and the others, but he returned in vain.

With a helpless sigh, Lan Ye could only pray secretly that Doctor Shangguan and the others would be safe.

The three beds in Ward 416 were relatively clean. One was given to Su Nan's mother, one was given to the pregnant He Yuqiu, and the last one was given to Su Nan.

The remaining few men came to the next few wards. Guo Weijie and Jason had almost cleaned up the place before. They pulled off the blood-stained bedding and threw it on the ground. The bed was a bit hard, but it was okay to deal with it casually.

The two young men went to the opposite ward to find a rest.

Yuze moved two more folding beds to the door, saying that seeing that the two young men were in frequent contact with Xinxin, they might be harmful to us, so they had to guard the door.

Liu Chao was dissatisfied at first, and moved the folding bed and said that he wanted to go back to live with Sunan. He wanted to protect Sunan, but Yuze grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

Lan Ye laughed secretly, look at your thin arms and legs, does she still need you to protect her? She can beat ten people like you.

Two days passed peacefully, and they were all at peace. During this period, they also learned about Liu Chao's experience.

He accompanied his parents to visit his grandfather who was hospitalized, but his grandfather suddenly went crazy and bit his mother to death. His father took him away and was surrounded by zombies.

His father finally sacrificed himself to hold back the zombies in exchange for Liu Chao's chance to escape. And the one named Jason, Lan Ye heard that he was from some American medical association and came to the hospital for exchange and study.

The two young men would appear with Xinxin from time to time. Except for Lan Ye, Yuze and Su Nan, everyone else began to interact with them, especially Liu Chao, who chased Xinxin and kept showing his courtesy.

On the third day, night fell. Although they were trapped in a closed space and could not feel the change in light, they were all sleepy like a tide.

Lan Ye's eyelids gradually became heavy. In the darkness, the cold eyes appeared in front of Lan Ye again, and the black windbreaker still had a cold smile on his lips.

Lan Ye had begun to get used to his appearance. Looking at the empty dark space around him, he simply sat down:

"It's the middle of the night, aren't you sleepy? You come to me in dreams every day, why are you hanging around in front of me?"

The back of the black windbreaker fluttered without wind, and a bloody smell emanated from him. Lan Ye saw him open his mouth, his voice was low and hoarse, revealing a chill that penetrated the bones.

"If you don't cut the grass at the root, it will grow again in the spring breeze, right?"

Lan Ye was startled and subconsciously looked around. When he found that there was no one else, Lan Ye was relieved. Lan Ye was a little confused. How did he know what I was thinking?

"Don't look, there are only us here, but I am the one who knows you best, Lan Ye."

The tide of darkness swept through his brain, and Lan Ye's consciousness seemed to be out of control. He stood up shakily, pulled out the switchblade at his waist, and walked out step by step.

"Yes." Lan Ye's voice was icy and emotionless.

"Cut the grass, of course I have to root it out."

The next morning, a terrified and piercing scream broke the silent air, coming from outside.

Lan Ye slept in the position closest to the door. Hearing the scream, he hurriedly opened the door and rushed out. What caught his eyes was a large amount of blood spurting out, and the body of the thin black man had already stiffened.

Everyone rushed out after hearing the sound and was stunned by the scene in front of them.

He Yuqiu was sitting on the ground, shaking constantly, his teeth chattering, and Guo Weijie was comforting him.

She said tremblingly that she got up to go to the toilet this morning, and found the body of the thin black man who died in a very miserable state.

The thin black man died very tragically. There were countless large and small knife wounds on his body. He was stabbed like a honeycomb. The fatal wound was in his neck. His throat was cut open with a sharp weapon. A large amount of blood spurted out, splashing all over the wall and the ground in front of him. A strong smell of blood and the stench of corpses floated around in the air.

His eyes were wide open, and there was fear and nostalgia for this world in them. It was obvious that he died with his eyes open.

Liu Chao, who arrived slowly at last, saw the body and immediately covered his mouth and almost vomited.

Su Nan's face was also very bad. Lan Ye stepped forward to pull her back to the ward, and by the way, asked Yuze and Guo Weijie to throw the thin black man's body into the room where the yellow-haired man's body was.

Everyone gathered together and swallowed breakfast with difficulty. When encountering such a thing early in the morning, no one's appetite was very good.

There is no doubt that the murderer should be among them, but Lan Ye is not interested in being a detective to solve the case.

The yellow-haired man and his gang are obviously gangsters who have been hanging around in the streets for many years. In this chaotic period, they changed their careers to become robbers and thugs. They usually bully men and women. It is better to die. It will be over once and for all, and it can be regarded as garbage cleaning.

"Who do you think did it?"

Su Nan poked Lan Ye with her elbow. Lan Ye bit off a large piece of biscuit and stuffed his mouth full. He said nonchalantly:

"Who cares? It has nothing to do with me. Even if it was Trisolaran, it won't affect my meal."

Su Nan pouted at Lan Ye and rolled his eyes: "You are an idiot."

"You are the idiot." Lan Ye imitated her tone and retorted unceremoniously.

At this time, Yuze walked in from outside: "Lan Ye, everything is done."

Lan Ye looked over: "Where is Guo Weijie?"

Yuze opened a can and stuffed a piece of braised beef into his mouth, "He said he would collect supplies from each ward to see if there is anything missing."
