Li Nan felt that Room 432 was particularly eerie, perhaps due to psychological suggestion.
Without giving Li Nan much time to think, his hands began to explore the walls. He was familiar with the layout of this room, but as he moved his body, he suddenly froze!
Li Nan straightened up, realizing he had stepped on something. Normally, he wouldn't pay attention to such details, but the situation was unusual. If he wasn't mistaken, there was indeed something supernatural in Room 432!
Feeling the object beneath his foot, it resembled a shoe—specifically, a high-heeled shoe!
While it wasn't strange to find shoes in a hospital room, high-heeled shoes were quite odd since very few women wear them to the hospital.
Li Nan was startled. "What’s going on?" However, his hands didn’t stop; his curiosity about Room 432 grew stronger. Given the circumstances, he needed to understand what was happening!
Li Nan's hand moved right and seemed to have found the light switch, but he hesitated to press it because he sensed faint footsteps behind him!
"Could it really be a zombie?" Li Nan wondered anxiously. However, at this point, it seemed that the initiative was no longer in his hands.
The footsteps behind him were light. If it was a zombie, he could conclude it was a female. Yet there was an underlying heaviness to the sound; although the figure moved lightly, it exerted considerable force. "Could it be a tomboy turned into a zombie?"
Just as Li Nan entertained this thought, a sudden rush of wind swept past his head at high speed.
"Damn! An ambush!" Li Nan cursed inwardly. He quickly withdrew and ignored the light switch, dodging aside just in time as a wooden chair crashed against the wall where he had been standing.
"That was close," Li Nan thought with lingering fear. However, considering the current situation, zombies wouldn’t throw chairs at people—could it be that the attacker wasn’t a zombie?
Realizing this, Li Nan didn’t dwell on the chair that had just whizzed by. Instead, he called out tentatively, "Who are you? Why did you throw that at me?"
Upon hearing his voice, the person hiding in Room 432 paused for a moment before softly responding, "You can talk; then you’re not a zombie?"
This voice sounded somewhat familiar to Li Nan. He was puzzled; logically speaking, he knew all the doctors and nurses at Jiangbei Hospital, but this voice clearly didn’t belong to anyone from the medical staff. As for the patients in the hospital, Li Nan had little interaction with them!
"Um... I'm going to turn on the lights now; please don’t attack me again!" Li Nan said boldly when he noticed there were no more footsteps moving in the room. He reached for the light switch and gently pressed it down.
The dimly lit hospital room suddenly brightened, and the girl standing in the center of the room clearly felt uncomfortable, immediately covering her eyes with her hands.
Li Nan looked at the girl shielding her face and felt a jolt in his heart. "Is it really her?"
The girl in Li Nan's eyes was none other than the television host, Mo Xiaohui, who had come to Jiangbei Hospital to find him tonight!
Mo Xiaohui slowly opened her eyes. After confirming the identity of the man before her, she was momentarily stunned, then she rushed forward with tears streaming down her face, catching Li Nan off guard.
At that moment, Mo Xiaohui was completely different from the glamorous woman Li Nan had seen before; now she appeared more haggard and less cold and proud.
This scene was entirely beyond Li Nan's control, so when he saw Mo Xiaohui, he was taken aback and left speechless.
"What happened?" Li Nan recalled that it was because he had chatted a bit too much with this woman that Gao Xue had become jealous. So at this moment, he hesitated to place his hands on Mo Xiaohui's back.
Mo Xiaohui buried her face in Li Nan's chest as if she had finally found a place to lean on and showed no intention of separating from him.
Li Nan could roughly guess what had happened, but he needed Mo Xiaohui to tell him the specifics for it to be real. So he continued to soothe her emotions and asked, "What exactly happened? Why were you hiding here?"
Mo Xiaohui was speechless; her small face was streaked with tears, and her hair was disheveled, looking nothing like the radio flower from before.
She sniffled and gradually calmed down before saying, "There are zombies in the hospital, lots and lots of zombies!"
Although Li Nan had been mentally prepared for this, hearing it from Mo Xiaohui still made his heart tremble. It seemed Liu Heping's words were basically true!
Seeing Li Nan, Mo Xiaohui clung to him like a drowning person grasping a piece of driftwood, unwilling to let go. Only after confirming that the person before her was indeed real did she relax her trembling body.
Room 432 contained four beds, each paired with a wooden chair. Clearly, one of those chairs was what Mo Xiaohui had thrown earlier.
After slightly adjusting her emotions, Mo Xiaohui slumped into Li Nan's embrace. Seeing this, Li Nan felt it inappropriate to be overly intimate and instead helped Mo Xiaohui to one of the hospital beds.
"What exactly happened?" Li Nan asked urgently.
Mo Xiaohui wiped the tears from her face and said incoherently, "There are Zombies in the hospital... Just half an hour after you all went underground, everyone went crazy... Crazy!"
Li Nan shook his head. It seemed that there had indeed been an outbreak of Zombies in the hospital, but where had those Zombies gone? Would Zhang Li and the others be in danger?
With this thought, Li Nan felt it necessary to inform Zhang Li about the situation in the hospital, and it had to be quick. If those Zombies, hiding somewhere unknown, suddenly appeared, it would definitely cause great casualties!
Li Nan immediately stood up and headed down to the lobby on the first floor. Meanwhile, Mo Xiaohui, sitting on the hospital bed, tightly grasped the corner of Li Nan's clothes, pleading, "Don't leave me behind, please, don't leave me behind!"
Li Nan cursed inwardly; how could he leave her behind? He immediately said, "Come with me downstairs!"
Mo Xiaohui nodded happily, her tears beginning to dry.
Li Nan noticed Mo Xiaohui's two pale feet and realized her shoes must have long since disappeared!
In the entire ward, they only found one high heel shoe, and under the current circumstances, that type of shoe was not suitable anyway. So there was no need to look for more. Li Nan simply carried Mo Xiaohui on his back and hurried downstairs.
Now that he thought about it, the sound he had suddenly heard while knocking on the door outside was actually Mo Xiaohui moving a wooden chair. This frail girl had been hiding alone in Room 432 after encountering Zombies; it was truly heart-wrenching. The loneliness and fear she must have felt could only be understood by someone who had experienced it personally!
