The children's cries came from all directions, and it was impossible to pinpoint the source.
"Brother Peng, don't you think the crying sounds familiar?" Chen Ge had Ghost Ear. He held his breath and listened quietly. After a while, he made a shocking discovery. Among the children's cries, one of them sounded very similar to Wu Sheng's.
Wasn't the child hiding inside the small room?
Chen Ge could not figure it out. He turned to Wu Jinpeng. The large man's body was shaking. He had been pushed to his limit by the monsters.
Be it physically or mentally, he could not take it anymore.
His chest rose and fell, and he gasped for air. Wu Jinpeng leaned against the hospital wall. His eyes were bloodshot and swollen.
"Are you okay?"
Earlier, when they were running for their lives, Chen Ge did not realize that he had subconsciously transferred his own physical attributes into Wu Jinpeng's body. In reality, not everyone was like Wu Jinpeng, who had a physique that was comparable to that of an athlete.
"Come on, let's go to the back door." Wu Jinpeng did not dare stay any longer. After entering the hospital, he behaved strangely. Something seemed to have happened the last time he was here, and it had traumatized him. If not for the fact that he was cornered, he would not have chosen to enter the hospital again.
The children's cries grew louder, and the one that sounded like Wu Sheng was drowned out by the noise. Chen Ge paid attention and followed behind Wu Jinpeng silently.
Even though the hospital at the old city was small, it had all kinds of departments. From the outside, it looked normal. It was a normal hospital at night, and there was nothing scary about it.
Passing through the empty corridor, Wu Jinpeng led Chen Ge to the junction of the stairs. By then, the children's cries had reached an ear-piercing level.
"Can you see the window at the corner of the stairs? Jump out from there and you'll reach Western Street. We can temporarily shake off those monsters. " Wu Jinpeng did not move after saying that. His eyes were filled with fear. This made Chen Ge realize that things might not be that simple.
"Brother, be careful. When you go up the stairs, no matter what you hear or see, do not stop. Just rush through it, understand?" Wu Jinpeng reminded Chen Ge, "If you think the backpack is too heavy, I can help you carry it first. After you go up the stairs, you must rush to the window as fast as you can!"
"I understand. I've been a fast runner since I was a child."
Wu Jinpeng and Chen Ge stood side by side at the top of the stairs. Both of them were ready. After looking at each other, they moved at the same time and ran toward the door.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor. When he took the first step, Chen Ge did not feel anything, but as he continued to run forward, the sound of the child's cries rushed into his ears like a wave. His brain was filled with the child's cries, and he even felt dizzy.
"Don't stop!" Wu Jinpeng had obviously experienced this once before. This brother of his did not forget to care about Chen Ge at the critical moment and reminded him loudly.
The child's cries became louder and louder, and the stairs under his feet became softer like they were not stepping on concrete stairs.
Chen Ge lowered his head to look, and pairs of small hands reached out from the ground to grab at his legs. The originally empty corridor was now crawling with faceless babies.
Even though Chen Ge had seen many things, he hesitated for a moment. He instinctively avoided the babies and stepped on the empty space on the stairs.
The sound of the door opening came from the second floor. When Chen Ge looked up, a wave of blood rushed out from the second floor corridor and slammed into Chen Ge and Wu Jinpeng.
"Jump out the window! Don't stop! " Chen Ge was the first to rush to the window. When he opened the window, the wave of blood had already rushed over. At that moment, he could have chosen to jump out of the window, but if he had done that, Wu Jinpeng would have been washed away by the wave of blood.
"Grab my hand!" When Chen Ge said that, the wave of blood had already rushed over, and it instantly swallowed him and Wu Jinpeng.
The smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, and he could not breathe. Pain came from all over his body.
Chen Ge forced his eyes open, and at the last moment, Wu Jinpeng grabbed Chen Ge's backpack.
The blood seemed to pour out endlessly from the second floor. Other than the crying of the child, a second voice started to appear. It was a woman's whisper, and it came closer and closer.
"You run first! Leave me be! "Wu Jinpeng could not even stand properly from the wave of blood. He probably knew that he was not going to make it this time.
"There's still a chance. Think about your son!"
When Chen Ge turned around to say that, a woman wearing a red hairpin appeared at the end of the second floor. She was wearing a maternity outfit that did not fit her body, and her featureless face was facing Chen Ge and Wu Jinpeng.
The woman's whisper became clearer. It was like a curse that could not be shaken off, but it was also like a poisonous snake that crawled into the deepest part of their minds.
"Jin Peng, do you still recognize me?"
"Have I been a bad mother?"
"Do you hate me?"
"The child did not even know how to cry when he was born, but is that my fault?"
"If he was a normal child, I would not have done something like this, but you heard what the doctor said. The child's condition is very unique, and we do not have the ability to raise him. If he grows up with us, he will only turn into a monster that everyone hates. "
"If he was a normal child, I would really bring him up with you."
"But he is not a normal child. I cannot hold on anymore. My life has just begun, and I do not want to be tied to him like this."
"Wu Jinpeng, can you come with me? Let's escape together? "
"Don't think I'm being selfish. We've been through so much already, and I do not want to continue like this."
"Even if he grows up in the future, do you really think he will be happy?"
"Do you want him to become like your little brother?"
"You have to understand that one day, you will also grow old, and who will take care of your little brother? Who will take care of this child? "
"Instead of leaving together that day, why don't we live for once?"
"In my heart, you are the free and unrestrained bird. Come with me."
The woman's blank face slowly changed. She stepped on the blood and appeared before Wu Jinpeng.
The pale hand slowly rose from the blood to hold Wu Jinpeng's face.
"Happiness, joy, desire, freedom, everything that you seek is here. Why don't you reach out for it?"
The woman leaned lightly against Wu Jinpeng's side, allowing Wu Jinpeng's head to lean against her. "I have never asked you to promise me anything. This is the first time, so let's go together."
Wu Jinpeng looked at the woman's face, and the faceless face became more and more blurry. His bloodshot eyes slowly lost their light, and his tired body stopped struggling like he had turned the woman into a safe harbor.
The fingers that gripped Chen Ge's backpack slowly loosened. Wu Jinpeng's body was slowly swallowed by the blood. Just as Chen Ge thought that Wu Jinpeng was about to give up, this father, who was almost two meters tall in Wu Sheng's eyes, suddenly reached out to grab the faceless woman's arm.
"Bring Wu Sheng with us! Run! "
