Is this what a zombie is?

8. Miracle, I have

"Master Cat, do me a favor."

Jiang Chen sent out the request using his mind.

"Don't even think about it."

There was no need to guess; Cat Master knew exactly what Jiang Chen wanted to say. It was a cat, not a dog, so why would it need to search for people?

Therefore, I refused decisively and without hesitation.

Jiang Chen didn't waste any words and directly stated his price.

"A bottle of Moutai."

Cat Master was clearly somewhat tempted, but did not agree.

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth.

"Three bottles!"

The cat's emerald green eyes lit up, and it stretched elegantly, reluctantly agreeing.

"Deal, but I need her belongings, preferably her underwear."

Jiang Chen nodded and rushed out of the dormitory.

"Keep up!"

He led his group to Ziting's dormitory first.

Ignoring the strange looks from the others, he opened the wardrobe.

"Ideally, it should be unwashed, in its original flavor."

Jiang Chen had no choice but to do as he was told, and picked out a shirt that hadn't been washed yet for Cat Master.

Cat jumped onto the table, brought his nose close to the clothes, and sniffed with twitching nostrils.

"You don't expect it to help you find people, do you? It's not a police dog."

Ai Yi thought Jiang Chen was being too unrealistic and also doubted Cat Master's abilities. Cat Master gave him a look that said, "Figure it out yourself."

"What does it mean? It's looking down on me again."

After noting down the unique scent, Cat began to track it.

"Keep up with it!"

Jiang Chen shouted and took the lead in following after him.

And so, the group ran wildly through the campus.

"Wait, wait, we can drive now."

After running for a while, Ai Yi and the three girls were all panting, and they still hadn't run out of the campus. Seeing that the cat still didn't know where it was going to take them, Ai Yi thought that driving would be faster.

Jiang Chen did not object. Although Ai Yi seemed unreliable, he was a genuine second-generation rich kid.

Jiang Chen held Cat Master in the passenger seat and was responsible for giving directions.

The hybrid car finally stopped deep in a chaotic urban village, and Cat pointed directly to a small hotel that didn't look very impressive.

This hotel doesn't even have a proper sign; there are only two large characters painted in red on the wall: "Accommodation".

Seeing that Jiang Chen had actually brought them to a place like this, Li Xiaoyue's face turned pale with anger.

"Jiang Chen, what do you mean by this? Are you deliberately picking a fight?"

"You brought us to a place like this because you think Ziting is having an affair with some random guy?"

"You really are a hopeless scumbag; you just want to ruin her reputation."

The other two girls echoed this sentiment, accusing Jiang Chen of having malicious intentions.

Ai Yi wanted to help defend himself, but he was no match for the fighting power of five hundred ducks. He was silenced by their barrage of questions and couldn't say a word.

Jiang Chen also hesitated.

Ziting is not the kind of girl who is casual.

Did Cat Master really make the wrong choice?

But it's a monster that has become a spirit; could its sense of smell be wrong?

Just then, Cat Master's voice rang in his mind again.

"Kid, prepare yourself mentally."

"I smelled blood."

"It wasn't just one person."

Cat Master's words made Jiang Chen unable to sit still any longer, and he headed straight for the inn without hesitation.

Cat Lord rushed straight to the staircase leading to the underground, and Jiang Chen followed him despite the receptionist's attempts to stop him.

There, two burly men were leaning against the wall, smoking.

Upon seeing someone break in, they immediately threw away their cigarette butts and pulled out batons hidden behind their backs.

"Get out, this is not a place for you."

A burly man blocked their way, cursing and swearing.

Instead of retreating, Jiang Chen advanced, taking the initiative to strike first.

As a medical student, he had a thorough understanding of the human body's structure and weaknesses.

He has no advantage in terms of physique, so he can only rely on skill.

Jiang Chen grabbed the other person's wrist and pinched their joint.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound of bones dislocating.

After succeeding, Jiang Chen didn't stop and kicked him in the side of the knee.

The burly man screamed and tumbled down the stairs.

Another burly man was also dealt with by Jiang Chen using a similar method.

Ai Yi and the three girls following behind were all dumbfounded by what they saw.

Especially Ai Yi, whose teammate Jiang Chen isn't this good at fighting. What kind of protein powder or hormones has he been taking?

"Call the police!"

As soon as Jiang Chen entered the basement, a strong, pungent smell of blood mixed with the smell of disinfectant hit him.

The scene before him sent chills down his spine.

Operating table, shadowless lamp, medical refrigerator, gauze, medicine, etc., are all things that Jiang Chen is familiar with.

This is not a hotel at all.

This is a clandestine, underground clinic.

When Jiang Chen saw the surgical instruments clearly, his heart sank.

Hemostats, bone saw, chest opener...

This is not for treating illnesses and saving lives.

"This is for dissection," Jiang Chen thought instantly.

Organ smuggling, human trafficking.

For many people, this is just news, or a legend about the dark side of society.

But Jiang Chen had actually been in contact with him. Someone had approached him privately because of his solid professional knowledge, wanting him to become a "butcher".

In industry jargon, it refers to removing the useful "parts" from a "goods" as if slaughtering livestock.

But he refused, and even after collecting useful information, he turned around and reported it.

On the operating table, a man in a white coat and mask was frantically tidying up his instruments. When he saw a stranger barging in, he grabbed a scalpel and tried to escape through the back door.

The figure lying on the operating table was none other than Ziting.

Jiang Chen immediately caught up with the butcher and kicked him in the back of the knee, stomping him to the ground.

"Ai Yi, find a rope and come tie him up."

"All you do is boss me around."

Ai grumbled, but her actions were anything but slow.

There was nothing they could do; Li Xiaoyue and her two friends were so terrified by just one glance that they became like trembling shrimps, and now even taking care of themselves was a problem.

Jiang Chen rushed to the operating table, where his ex-girlfriend Qiu Ziting was lying.

Her side abdomen was cut open, a huge gash, and her left kidney had been removed.

That "butcher's" methods were too crude, which caused massive bleeding.

Fresh blood kept gushing from the wound, soaking the entire bed sheet.

With his solid professional knowledge, Jiang Chen made a judgment instantly.

Deep hemorrhagic shock, secondary trauma, and kidney loss.

Given her current condition, even if an ambulance arrives immediately and takes her to the hospital for surgery by specialists, the chances of her being saved are almost zero.

This was his judgment, and his judgment has never been wrong.

But looking at that face that was gradually losing its vitality, Jiang Chen really hoped that his judgment was wrong.

But he couldn't fool himself; the probability was indeed close to zero, unless a miracle occurred.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Jiang Chen slowly touched his chest.

He had a miracle, but it was also his only hope for survival.
