Late at night, the entire hospital was enveloped in a quiet, peaceful atmosphere.
Lin Yun chatted with Feng Ke until the wee hours and finally reluctantly exited Skynet. He lay on his bed and recalled Feng Ke’s cute smiling face, feeling invigorated, and did not have any intention to sleep.
“Buzz…”
A fly flew in from nowhere, making a slight noise that was especially noticeable in the silent hospital ward. The fly circled in front of Lin Yun and stopped on the white ceiling.
“Thud, thud, thud…”
The sound of heels clicking on the floor echoed in the corridor as if a nurse was checking on the ward.
Bored, Lin Yun released his Spirit out of the room to see how the “beautiful nurse” that Li Tian had talked about looked like.
“Oh god! Li Tian’s taste is too weird.”
Upon seeing the nurse’s looks, Lin Yun was stunned.
This nurse’s body was like a male bear, thick and sturdy. The backs of her hands that were exposed were covered in long black hairs, and her face had an uneven beard as if she had a hormonal imbalance. Her face looked like she had been through a severe natural disaster, and her features seemed to have been viciously squeezed together by someone’s hand just like a wilted chrysanthemum.
What made Lin Yun even more speechless was that the nurse’s large sausage lips were unevenly coated with bright lipstick. Lin Yun suspected that if he saw this nurse in the middle of the night, he would think he had encountered a ghost.
This nurse walked up to Lin Yun’s room door and suddenly went still. She then took out a walkie-talkie and put it on her head before whispering softly.
“This hospital actually equipped the nurse with a walkie-talkie. It’s quite advanced.”
As he let his imagination run wild, Lin Yun opened his eyes wide and stared at the fly on the ceiling. Suddenly, a question popped up in his mind.
“Didn’t Clearwater Hospital claim to be a fly-free hospital? So why is there a fly here?”
Immediately afterward, Lin Yun realized that it was now winter, and the flies wouldn’t come out at all.
Curious, Lin Yun used his supervision to observe this strange fly. Although the room was very dark, he saw the fly on the ceiling clearly. It had a black body, legs made of metal wire, and a small antenna on its head. Seemingly, it was a small machine fly.
Lin Yun suddenly understood that it was a machine fly!
“A machine fly! Why is it in my ward?”
Lin Yun’s heart trembled, as he suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem. Such a machine fly was usually used for surveillance. So who was spying on him and why was he doing so?
At that moment, a long, thin pipe came in from under the door. Then, a burst of white smoke floated out from the tube.
Lin Yun quickly checked the outside with his Spirit, and the ugly-looking nurse was lying outside the door of the ward. She was holding a strangely shaped “pump” in her hand, continuously pumping air into the tube.
“Looks like I’m being watched.”
Apparently, the white smoke was poisonous and someone wanted to harm him.
Lin Yun recalled the middle-aged man with the blue-rimmed glasses in the Blue Sea Forest. He wasn’t sure who he had offended that led to the other party’s endless pursuit. However, the enemy had already infiltrated the hospital and wanted to kill him, so he could only get out of the situation before figuring out what was going on.
Thus, Lin Yun held his breath and leaped up from the bed. Then, he kicked the ward door with all his strength.
“Kwang!”
The fragile door was directly kicked down by Lin Yun along with the door frame, causing the unsightly nurse to fall directly to the floor along with it.
As soon as the nurse pushed the fallen door away, Lin Yun’s fist struck her on the nose bridge. She fell to the ground on her back, and as the back of her head hit the floor, it made a “bump” sound and she passed out. At the same time, a wig fell from the top of the nurse’s head, revealing a large bald head.
“So it’s a fake nurse. A man dressed as a woman. How disgusting.”
Lin Yun was filled with contempt as he looked at the unconscious, burly man dressed in a nurse’s uniform.
“Buzz buzz…”
The metal fly gradually flew over.
Lin Yun didn’t seem to see it, so he returned to his ward and opened the window. He tore the bedsheet into long strips and draped it over the window. It looked like he was going to escape through the third-floor window.
“The show’s over. You’re useless now.”
He watched the fly dock on the wall on the right side as it monitored the entire process of him preparing his escape. Lin Yun suddenly leaped to the right and smashed the fly into the wall with a punch.
“Ccc…”
There were a slight static noise and a faint spark. This expensive electronic equipment, which nobody knew how much it cost, had become a small piece of scrap metal.
At the same time, in the hospital’s duty room.
“Not good. The scout fly has been discovered by him.” A young man with slim cheeks was fiddling with a tablet computer in his hands. Looking at the computer’s screen that turned gray, his face turned very gloomy.
“Boss, what’s next?” Six burly men with guns respectfully asked.
The young man’s eyebrows furrowed and his expression turned cold. He answered in a low voice, “He wants to jump out of the window and escape. You guys split up into two groups. No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 stop him at the entrance! For the rest, go to his room and follow his escape route. I’ll keep an eye on the hospital’s surveillance from here. I’ll be in touch if anything happens.”
The young man pointed to the walkie-talkie in his ear and said softly, “The other party is just a student, so don’t shoot until you have to. The one who employed us said that the price he would give us if we get of him alive is double that of him dead.”
Under the young man’s command, three burly men arrived at the hospital entrance to intercept Lin Yun’s way out. The other three who had guns in hand rushed towards Lin Yun’s hospital ward.
Lin Yun’s hospital ward was located on the third floor, and these three men entered it shortly after. The window in the ward was wide open and a torn sheet was draped down from the window. The night breeze flowed in through the window, adding coolness to the empty room.
“Reporting. The target has escaped through the window and is suspected of heading for the entrance.”
A burly man spoke into the walkie-talkie in his ear. After a short while, the gloomy voice of the young man was heard over the walkie-talkie.
“No. 4, guard the ward. No. 5 and No. 6, go to the entrance for reinforcements.”
After receiving the young man’s order, a bearded man stayed in the room, while the other two walked out of the ward.
When the bearded man looked around and saw a bag of fruit by the bedside, he was overjoyed. He took out a large apple and bit it into.
“Ugh, what a bummer. Killing a student takes so much work.”
The big man sat down on the bed, nibbled on the apple, and complained in a low voice.
A hand then slowly reached from behind the burly man’s defenseless head and his mouth was suddenly covered with force. A second later, his neck was quickly slashed by a sharp fruit knife. The burly man struggled a few times, kicked his feet, and then went silent. The apple that had been halfway gnawed fell from his hand to the ground.
Lin Yun’s figure appeared from behind the burly man. He wiped the blood on his hands on the bedsheet and picked up the long gun in this burly man’s hand.
Opening the window, draping the bedsheet, and even the fly that he had intentionally left for a while longer were all part of Lin Yun’s deception. After destroying the fly, Lin Yun had been hiding under the bed, waiting for his chance. This bearded man who had relaxed his guard was his first prey.
“No. 4, do you hear me? Please answer me.”
An electronic voice came from the walkie-talkie in the burly man’s ear.
Lin Yun thought about it briefly before he picked up the walkie-talkie, put it on his ear, and said vaguely, “Yes.”
The young man’s voice resounded again.
“Brace yourselves and keep me posted on anything unusual. The surveillance footage shows that the target has not left the hospital.”
Surveillance footage? Lin Yun was shocked. This group of people had actually occupied the hospital’s monitoring room. In other words, the moment he appeared in a public place, he would be discovered by them.
“I can’t go out. And I’m not sure how many people the other party has. They all seem to be armed with guns.”
In the hospital ward, Lin Yun was safe for the time being as he pondered how he should get out of this crisis.
“Hey, I’m really muddled. I should call the police when I have any problem.”
Lin Yun was relieved at the thought. He took out his cell phone and dialed a familiar number. The phone rang twice and a male voice was heard.
“Hello, this is the Clearwater City Police Station. How can I help you?”
Lin Yun quickly told the receptionist about his situation.
“You mean you’re in the hospital ward? Please wait there for a moment and don’t walk around. We’ll send people over right away. We’ll be there within 3 minutes.”
Upon hearing the receptionist reply in an orderly manner, Lin Yun felt as if a stone from his heart had landed on the ground. In a human city, as long as one made a call to the police, the police would definitely be able to arrive within 3 minutes. All Lin Yun had to do was wait 3 minutes.
However, before 1 minute had passed, a gloomy, urgent voice came from the walkie-talkie.
“No. 4 is dead. The target is in the ward. Everyone, proceed quickly. When you encounter the target, open fire immediately.”
Lin Yun felt shocked. How had they seen him? He looked around but didn’t spot the machine fly again. At this moment, the sound of running footsteps was already coming from the corridor. In less than a minute, Lin Yun would have to face them.
“If I’m barehanded, I may not last 3 minutes. The key is that they’re armed with guns.”
Unable to fight head-on, Lin Yun quickly came to the window and slid down the bedsheet he had just prepared.
“The target has escaped through the window and is now in the hospital front yard.”
Upon hearing the words on the walkie-talkie, Lin Yun looked around and finally saw the flashing green surveillance camera at the corner of the fence. Thus, he raised his long gun and aimed it at the surveillance camera.
“Bang!”
The surveillance camera exploded into bursts of electricity everywhere thanks to Lin Yun’s long gun.
“The surveillance camera has been damaged by the target. The target is highly suspected to be fleeing towards the gate. No. 7 and No. 8, continue to wait at the gate and prepare for a fatal blow. The rest of you, quickly make your way to the front yard to intercept the target.”
Five minutes later, the group of burly men with guns arrived at the front yard and looked at each other.
“Boss, the target is missing,” a burly man said helplessly into the walkie-talkie.
“What? The target is missing! The police will be here soon. If we can’t find the missing target, I’ll let you disappear instead!”
Presently, Lin Yun was lying under the bed in the hospital ward, whispering into his cell phone.
“I thought you promised you will arrive here within 3 minutes. It’s been over 5 minutes now. When will you arrive?”
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Lin. Our helicopter is in maintenance and the police car that has been dispatched was involved in a once-in-a-lifetime accident. May I ask for your location?” The receptionist seemed to say that in an agitated and anxious manner.
“I’m still in the ward.” Lin Yun felt very helpless. How come all the bad things had caught up with the police station in one day?
Yes, Lin Yun didn’t run towards the hospital entrance. He came down from the window, blew off the surveillance camera, and crawled back up with the bedsheets to the ward again. What he had made use of was the inertia of those burly men.
The most dangerous place was the safest place. It was hard for them to expect that Lin Yun would return to the hospital ward again.
“Please stay where you are and don’t move. We’ll be there in 3 minutes,” said the relieved receptionist in a panicked way.
Lin Yun hung up the cell phone and heaved a sigh of relief. However, the gloomy voice was suddenly heard from the walkie-talkie.
“Target is still in the ward. No. 7 and No. 8, ambush in front of the bedsheet draped over the window of the target’s ward. The others will proceed to the target’s ward!”
