“Fuck!”
Most people would freeze in fear when confronted with terrifying anomalies, yet in an instant, Mr. Dagen had the quickest reaction.
Without saying anything, he grabbed Zhang Ying, dashed into the electrician’s room, pushed down the shelf beside the entrance, and used it to block the door.
At this time, there were several gunshots outside the door, as well as a girl’s hysterical screams.
Teacher Dagen knew that it was Ji Dong who shot.
“Hold on for five minutes!”
“Beauty Zhang and I will turn on the backup power supply of the air-raid bunker!” Mo Tiangen yelled from inside the electric room.
“Hurry up, Brother Dagen!”
“Also, you need to take care of yourself!” Ji Dong answered anxiously.
In truth, Ji Dong’s and the others’ predicament outside the corridor was grave.
Those creatures with dog faces and ape bodies were clearly ravenous for human blood.
After the first ape was shot in the thigh by Ji Dong and fell to the ground howling, the other ape dog-like creatures learned to dodge right away.
They didn’t mindlessly charge forward, but instead found a nearby area that allowed them to climb up to the ceiling like monkeys and vanished.
“Be careful, everyone!”
Ji Dong firmly gripped the gun in his hand and vigilantly peered around, using the flashlight’s dim and blurry brightness.
“Ah ah ah ah!”
Min Qingqing let out a shrill scream. Simultaneously, the flashlight in her hand trembled wildly, as if she were suffering an epileptic seizure.
A canine-ape sprang in front of the girl, stretching out its extended claw and grabbing her in the face.
The girl was like a deer in headlights at the critical moment. She couldn’t react at all except by screaming at the top of her lungs.
Fortunately, Ren Jianmo’s agility was far superior to that of the female.
He reached out and took Min Qingqing’s arm into his grip. He drew her backward a few paces. However one of them became unsteady on their feet and fell on the ground.
The canine-ape sprang into the air, scratching the girl’s forehead with its claws.
Ji Dong seized the opportunity of the situation and fired two shots at the monster that had attacked Min Qingqing from a safe distance.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
The monster let out a canine-like howl and then plummeted to the ground. Half of its hairy body fell on the girl’s knee.
“Ct jt jt jt jt!”
The girl’s psychological defenses were unprepared. She reached out and tried to push away the warm bloodied body of the disgusting creature. She was so frightened that her three souls and seven spirits flew out of her body. Her eyes rolled backwards and she almost fainted on the spot.

The creatures’ movement might be described as “swift.” Min Qingqing had just gotten rid of the ape corpse that was pressing against her knees and was struggling to stand up when those monsters were already in front of them.
Cold sweat appeared on the forehead of Ji Dong.
He knew that even if he had a gun, he couldn’t deal with so many canine-apes at once. Moreover, his shooting was not very accurate, and there weren’t many bullets left.
However, those canine-apes did not immediately rush at Ji Dong and others.
The largest and strongest of the four canine-apes leaped high into the air, hopped onto a chair in the corridor, lunged forward, seizing the fixed pole of a display screen on the ceiling with two hind legs and dangling upside down. It swayed more violently and leaped towards the middle of the three without warning, in a swing-style high-altitude throwing position.
“Shit!”
Ji Dong was startled and quickly raised his gun to aim at the creature.
The dark red-haired monster, on the other hand, did not immediately attack any of them. Instead, it let out a piercing scream that sounded like a cross between a dog and an ape and circled them. Min Qingqing was so terrified that she hid behind Ren Jianmo, grasped her head, closed her eyes, and frantically screamed.
Ji Dong was concerned that his poor marksmanship would accidentally hurt his companions. He didn’t want to take the chance of firing at such a close range.
However, the giant canine bounced around for less than a minute before it abruptly flung its claws, bared its fangs at Ji Dong, made a demonstrative low growl, turned its head and sprang up to the ceiling, jumped forward and out for ten meters, and then fled back to the hallway it came from.
Ji Dong: “??”
For a brief period, he was perplexed and wondered, “What kind of medicine were those creatures taking?”
——Does that have anything to do with the fact that there are so many of them that those creatures are afraid to attack?
“Don’t bother looking.”
Ren Jianmo patted Ji Dong on the back and pointed the torch in one direction, saying, “That’s Brother Jie, dragged away by them.”
Ji Dong noticed that the muscular guy in blue who had been laying in the corner of the corridor had vanished under the light of the aperture.
There was just a ripped canvas and a long comet tail-like blood mark drawn out on the floor, stretching into the dark hallway.
Ji Dong shivered.
The intelligence of these monsters had far exceeded his expectations.
Their initial target was the team’s weakest link, of course, Brother Jie, who was dying from excessive blood loss and lay on the ground unable to struggle or shout for help.
So many canine-apes banded together and distracted Ji Dong and the others while they secretly dragged brother Jie away.
First, the leader reared up to divert everyone’s attention, and then other canine-ape monsters used the confusion to rob Brother Jie, who was lying in the corner.
“They’ll come back when they are done with Brother Jie.”
Ren Jianmo said calmly, “We don’t have much time.”
Ji Dong and Min Qingqing unconsciously envisioned a scene in which Brother Jie’s body was being ripped apart by canine-apes as they devoured his body. Their faces became pale as they imagined such a gruesome scenario.
They weren’t sure if it was a psychological effect, but they thought they heard the “cracking” sound of those beasts gnawing human bones in the dark.
“Hey!”
Ji Dong turned his head and reached out to pat the door of the electric room, “Brother Dagen, can you hurry!? if you don’t hurry up, we’ll all be dragged away by the monsters!”
“Don’t rush!!”
Mo Tiangen’s angry roar came from the door, “Don’t you know how complicated the system of the whole hospital is?!”
Mr. Dagen was a science student, but his engineering knowledge was limited to changing a fuse on weekdays.
Even though Zhang Ying had previously participated in several rescue training sessions in the emergency department, she only worked as a nurse. She only looked at the links on how to turn on the switch from a distance. She had no idea there would be a day when she would have to do it by herself.
The two of them looked around the electric boxes, trying to find the correct electrical box under the dim light of the flashlights. With Ji Dong’s urging and the distracting movement outside, they were even more anxious and drenched in cold sweat.
“This is it! I found it!”
Zhang Ying finally saw the electric box with the label of “Emergency Power for Civil Air Defense”, and burst into tears out of surprise.
“Here! Teacher Mo, right here!”
“Light up, light up!”
Outside the door came the excited shouts of Ji Dong and Min Qingqing, “The emergency indicator light in the corridor is on!”
“Yes!”
Zhang Ying screamed, jumped up, and hugged Mo Tiangen’s shoulder. Stimulated by tension and panic, tears burst out from Teacher Mo’s eyes.
However, the feeling of a beautiful woman’s body in his arms was not as important as life.
Mo Tiangen grinned as he endured the pain of the girl’s arm pressing against his shoulder wound. He grabbed the girl with one hand and took two steps to the door. With the other hand, he pushed away the shelf that was blocking the door and yelled, “Hurry, take advantage of the moment, let’s get out of here right away!”
Indeed, as Ji Dong and others stated, the corridor was no longer pitch black, and the walls near the ceiling were lighted up with a circle of blue emergency lights.
Although the brilliance and hue of these lights were unflattering, they were nearly as excellent as the impact of Japanese ghost films from half a century ago, but they were better than nothing. At least people could now see the floor without using a flashlight.
So without further delay, they ran to the elevator in the surgical area.
Soon, under the guidance of Zhang Ying, they found a special elevator for the maintenance of civil air defense fortifications.
It was in the corner of the wall, but it was blocked by a pillar. If it hadn’t been for Zhang Ying leading them, no one would have seen the little, inconspicuous elevator in such poor lighting.
Ji Dong and the others were taken aback and dashed towards it.
For a while, it brought them hope and relief that they would be able to flee this horrible world immediately.
The astonishment and relief, unfortunately, lasted just two seconds.
They saw that, despite the fact that the elevator panel was turned on, the words “Under Maintenance” were displayed.
When Zhang Ying viewed the panel, she felt as if her mind had gone blank.
Although she knew the password to enter the elevator, it could only work when the elevator was in the “running” state.
As for “maintenance”, she had no key, no knowledge of starting the elevator, and couldn’t even open the door.
“What, what do we do?”
She was so anxious that her tears were about to fall.
She was the one who suggested they take cover in the shelter, but they couldn’t even go in because the door was beneath their feet.
In desperation, she asked, “Yes or no, let’s go in through the entrance in the parking lot…”
It was the final option she could think of.
“No, it’s too late.”
Ji Dong shook his head. “It’s too far, and it’s too dangerous.”
They didn’t know when the monsters that resembled canine-apes would return, nor did they know how many of them there were, or whether there would be more terrifying and carnivorous predators outside.
It was too risky to go outside in the dark and go around the entrance behind the parking lot.
“Why don’t we hide in a room with a stronger door?”
Mo Tiangen suggested, “Don’t you have an MRI room in your hospital?”
According to his common sense, the rooms containing huge equipment containing radiation were housed in a room with an inch thick lead plate doors that couldn’t be split with an ax. It should be quite safe.
“Yes, yes, yes…”
The nurse’s lips trembled, “But the whole hospital is powered off except for the power supply of civil air defense fortifications, so we can’t open the door of the radiology examination room!”
Mo Tiangen was going crazy.
He didn’t want to go back to the damned electrician’s room and worry whether the hospital had backup power sources that could restore the electricity of the hospital or whether they could access those rooms.
“… I have an idea.”
Ji Dong thought and suddenly pointed to the elevator door.
“Let’s pry this door open and see if we can climb down the elevator shaft…”
Thank you for the chapter!
