Chapter 48: Escape from the Madhouse
In front of everyone, that white light, which was a meteorite from nowhere, hit the building.
Debris from the building was thrown into the air.
A wall of white smoke rose from the point of impact and hit us head-on. It was getting higher, bigger, and thinner.
Duan Xu pulled the two old patients down with both hands, trying to get them to crawl on the ground.
Just as the three people bent down, a wall of white smoke came into view. The next moment, their bodies were pushed out by a wave of heat. The four people curled up and rolled forward with the shock wave.
Bang - a loud noise reached the ears, which were numbed by the shock. At the same time, there was the sound of crackling glass and the sound of people screaming.
After rolling twice, the shock wave passed over his body. Duan Xu covered his head with his hands and continued to lie on the ground, not daring to move. His back was hit by several fragments. Fortunately, they were only fragments and did not cause any damage.
The pieces fell away, and after a while, the surroundings became quiet.
Duan Xu stood up and patted the dust on his head, his ears still buzzing.
There was so much smoke all around that I couldn't see clearly what was going on around me, and I didn't know if other people were okay.
A few seconds later, a groan came from my ears: "Oh, it hurts me to death."
Following the sound, Duan Xu turned around and took two steps. It was Lao Huang and Lao Qian. They were lying face down on the ground, less than two meters apart, and their bodies were covered with a layer of dust.
The person was still moving, contracting his body rhythmically, and breathing. I don't know who shouted this.
Duan Xu gently patted the ashes on their bodies and helped one of them up, Lao Huang, whose face was covered in blood.
"Oh, it hurts so much, my nose touched the ground."
Lao Huang said, touching his nose with his hand.
It looked like nothing was wrong, at least he was still conscious.
Duan Xu: How about it, Lao Huang?
Lao Huang: Something bad has happened. I fell on my face. I have been handsome all my life. I will not be able to protect my future. Hey!
Duan Xu couldn't hold back and laughed.
Old Huang: What are you laughing at?
Duan Xu: At your age, no one cares about your appearance.
Lao Huang: I care, if I can marry a 28-year-old at the age of 82, can't I marry a 26-year-old at 62? But now that I'm disfigured, who will marry me? Woohoo.
Lao Huang cried while talking...
Lao Qian got up by himself, patted the dust on his body, and cursed:
"Damn, what kind of bomb is so powerful?"
"I'm afraid of a second explosion, so I don't dare to move."
"Me too. I am the Big Ivan Explosion."
"Go, Big Ivan, we have turned into skeletons long ago."
The two old men seemed a little proud, glad to be alive.
Zhuang Yuanbao also came over. His face was black and gray, his eyeballs were very white, and he looked like a kiln burner.
The four people said hello to each other. They ran fast enough and were far enough away from the center of the impact, so they only suffered some superficial injuries.
Zhuang Yuanbao: Brother Duan, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we would have been finished. How did you know?
Duan Xu: I don’t know, the sixth sense. Let’s go and see how other people are doing.
After saying that, he walked towards the hospital, followed by two old men.
The road back to the hospital was less than 100 meters and was littered with broken glass and cement blocks.
Duan Xu himself was very lucky, even if any fragment hit his head, the consequences would be disastrous.
There are only two large cement blocks standing alone at the hospital gate. The tiles outside have fallen off, and the two large iron doors have been thrown far away and are lying on the ground in a mess.
The hospital building was reduced to a pile of rubble, with a deep crater in the center of the impact. Several pillars of dark smoke were rising around it.
A dozen people covered in dust and in tattered clothes staggered toward the hospital door. They were also fast runners and were lucky enough to survive.
The minibus rolled over on its side outside the hospital gate, leaving only a charred shell and skeleton.
Duan Xu and Zhuang Yuanbao rushed to the minibus.
The driver was still sitting in his original position, with injuries all over his face. The seat belt held him in place, and the airbag had already burst.
Duan Xu climbed in through the car window. The driver was still alive. After being woken up by Duan Xu, he climbed out of the wreckage of the car. After a while, he returned to the car to check on his companions.
Several people in the car were pressed under the seats. They were basically not breathing.
There is another person in the middle row.
Duan Xu struggled to climb over the top of the overturned car.
When he lifted the objects that were weighing him down, he was the dean and his eyes were still moving.
Duan Xu shook his shoulders with both hands and shouted:
"How are you? Wake up."
The dean slowly opened his eyes, saw Duan Xu, and closed them again.
Duan Xu continued to shout: "Hold on, I will save you. Hold on!"
The dean opened his eyes again, not looking at the person in front of him.
Duan Xu took a look and his heart skipped a beat. He was frightened. He had never seen such eyes before. His two pupils lost their light and focus.
Duan Xu knew exactly what this meant.
The dean said in a weak voice: "I'm sorry..., it was...I...I hurt you. I shouldn't have listened...to them...everyone...is screwed..."
Blood flowed from the dean's mouth and he could no longer speak.
Duan Xu flattened the dean's body and pressed his chest hard with both hands. After pressing for a few times, he heard the sound of water inside. He stopped and reached out to touch the artery in his neck. It was no longer beating.
Duan Xu watched the dean's painful expression gradually disappear, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Now, there are no survivors in the car.
Duan Xu climbed out of the car, Huang Yanzhong and Qian Zhiren stood beside him.
"Is the dean inside?"
"Yes, inside, always inside."
Duan Xu pointed at that location, Huang Yanzhong picked up a brick from the ground, smashed it hard, and cursed:
"Asshole, go to hell, I was almost killed by you."
As he spoke, he picked up another one and threw it at it. Qian Zhiren also picked up a stone and threw it at it.
"You fucking beast, I'll crush you to death."
Zhuang Yuanbao came up to stop the two of them, fearing that they would lose control of their emotions.
Zhuang Yuanbao: He is just a puppet, and now his life is on the line just for a little money.
Duan Xu: It’s a pity that many clues have been lost in this way.
Qian Zhiren: So what should we do now?
Duan Xu: What can we do? Wait for rescue.
, some people returned to the ruins of the hospital, looking for their companions, while others watched from a distance, no one knew why this happened, fearing another explosion.
The hospital is far away from the city. In addition to the beautiful scenery, the hospital is relatively quiet. Even if a devastating disaster occurs, there seems to be no reaction from the outside world.
After a long time, fire and rescue personnel finally arrived.
They found many bodies from the ruins, many of which were beyond recognition.
There are also a few survivors.
Everyone was in a low mood. Many patients, who were alive and kicking not long ago, were now lying there quietly, and some had even turned into several pieces.
The rescue was still continuing, and the surviving personnel boarded the bus that had just arrived.
ID cards, mobile phones, and all the belongings they carried were buried in the rubble, and the rescuers had no idea who they were.
Some people become ill and don't even remember who they are.
After getting on the bus, everyone registered their information and then helped them notify their families.
The car drove along the road beside the lake, with clear and light blue lake water on one side and vast rolling hills on the other.
On the hills, there are continuous shrubs and pastures, and occasionally sheep can be seen eating winter hay.
