When Lin Sanjiu ran past the nurse on the first floor, she caught a glimpse of a faint revolting smile on the woman’s rotting face. No matter how indignant she felt, Lin Sanjiu could do nothing to that woman. Setting aside the doubts whether the thing could even be attacked, she could only run right now because she was still being chased by a group of people and the incessant noises from their assortment of weapons, abilities and Special Items.
Even though Lin Sanjiu could fight very well now, she couldn’t fight off the unified attacks from the thirty people—especially the twelve posthumans who had been converted to “patients”. Under the pressure of a double rate of life reduction, they had all gone mad with anxiety. They rushed at Lin Sanjiu with their tidal wave of crazed non-stop attacks, giving Lin Sanjiu no time to even catch a breath.

The moment Lin Sanjiu discovered that her appearance had changed into “Patient Zero”, she was immediately aware that she couldn’t continue staying in the room.
The process to reactivate the hibernating Neuhume cells in her body, so that they would attack her dead cells, still required a long time before completion. Within this time, with her “Patient Zero” role, she knew that she couldn’t risk letting this batch of posthumans come close to the cat doctor or her physical body.
Due to this unforeseen circumstance, the siblings’ initial well-thought plan instantly became a hindrance. As the voices from the corridor approached the room, they all rushed to the entrance and moved away the tables and chairs, finally, clearing the path to the door. Once Lin Sanjiu shot out of the room, she was hit by a barrage of attacks from all directions, even before she could see the attackers outside clearly.
Each attack from every attacker seemed to be their best ability or tactic. Even though the attacks were more than enough to shave off a few lives from their counterparts, they were not powerful enough to do much to Lin Sanjiu’s current diamond-like body. Luckily, the attacks were all damage-based. No one used any illusions or status-afflicting attacks. After Lin Sanjiu took on a few direct blows with her body, she turned around and ran.
There were 27 posthumans still alive in the hospital. When the nurse announced the location of Patient Zero, they all swarmed to the second floor, Zone A, like flies to honey. Lin Sanjiu was surrounded so she had no choice but to use [The Heart-Stealing Consort Escapes With a Baby] once. It was only then that she managed to escape.
Something suddenly whizzed sharply past the top of Lin Sanjiu’s head. She ducked it in time without slowing down. From the pursuers’ perspective, they saw the item grazing her head and cutting off a clump of her grey hair.
“You guys never give up!” Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly before making a sharp turn into a corridor. She pushed open the door of a ward and rushed inside. The moment she entered the ward, she activated her [A World History of Art].
Thankfully, she had not distributed the books to the siblings yet, so they came in handy, just in time.
[A World History of Art] began flipping noisily. Light reflected off the glossy pages of the book filled with beautiful printed pictures. When Lin Sanjiu’s pursuers reached the entrance of the ward, they were greeted by the smell of watercolor paint, ink, wood shavings and bread.
The famous “Portrait présumé de Gabrielle d’Estrées et de sa soeur la duchesse de Villars” suddenly unfolded in midair in front of Lin Sanjiu with an observable speed.
The person running at the forefront of the group was a fat man whose face was covered with spots. He ran straight into the mist of colors in mid-air, as if he couldn’t see that strange phenomenon. The colors became more saturated as the figures in the art pieces slowly appeared. The other pursuers running closely behind also fell into the trap, entering the “painting” like fishes in a net.
Because of this, Lin Sanjiu could stop momentarily. She threw a quick glance at the four pursuers behind her. They seemed to have suddenly entered a trance as they were wrapped in a mist of colors. They did not move even after some time. contemporary romance
[A World History of Art] had the ability to create a sort of mini pocket dimension. Consequently, Lin Sanjiu wasn’t sure what the trapped people could see in the “painting” as their expression lit up and darkened every so often.
Even though the effect of the book was quite astonishing, it had a few obvious flaws. It could only produce one painting each time so it could only trap four to five people. Once these people entered the “painting”, they couldn’t be harmed by anything from the outside world for the time being. Considering those conditions, Lin Sanjiu could only hope that there are all sorts of deadly traps in the book and that the book could take care of those pursuers.
Spotting more people heading her way, Lin Sanjiu broke out of the window without much thinking. After laying down all sorts of traps for the posthumans chasing her, there were finally only a dozen or so people chasing her. The other posthumans weren’t stupid. When a Patient Zero appeared, it would also be a good time to attack other posthumans who would usually be hiding. If Patient Zero was easy to deal with, everyone would go for him or her. Unfortunately, if Patient Zero was difficult to handle, like Lin Sanjiu, the participants of the events would most likely be backstabbed by other posthumans before they could even attack.
With lesser pursuers, Lin Sanjiu wasn’t as worried anymore.
She flew back to the main lobby on the first floor like a whirlwind. She could still see the nurse-like creature in a pink uniform standing beside the reception table in the middle of the lobby. Lin Sanjiu smiled coldly. She leaped up and rushed toward the nurse’s back.
While the remaining pursuers gasped in horror, Lin Sanjiu landed an earth-shattering punch directly on the nurse’s backbone. Everyone heard a screech. Then, the nurse-like creature body broke into two before flying out. The nurse did not die but she started screaming loudly, “Sister Nurse had been attacked! Attack Patient Zero! Protect Sister Nurse! You will get an additional reward!”
The nurse’s uniform barely held the two segments of the nurse’s body together. With the movements she made as she screamed, her waist and legs slipped out from her dress. Along with them, the woman’s intestines and organs fell to the floor with a splat.
The posthumans who heard the offer of “additional rewards” suddenly acted as if they were given steroids.
” Though her punch is admittingly scary, as long as I don’t get hit, it will be fine,” with such thoughts in mind, the pursuers started activating all sorts of ability and Special Items thinking that the Patient Zero this round was a close-combat fighter.
In an instant, Lin Sanjiu was surrounded by flashes of lights and shadows surrounding her. Despite being visibly strong, she was finding the current situation challenging. As she dodged and evaded the attacks, she heard Rena’s excited voice over the communicator, “Jiu! Come back! I think your body is alive!”
Lin Sanjiu was delighted. However, she instantly cursed the thorny situation she was in. Considering this situation, how could she return?
