Chapter 50 The Birth of the Demon Child
Meanwhile, Jiang Tao has entered Building 8, and residents 8301 and 8502 have spoken in the owners' group, indicating that they are preparing for a rescue operation.
Soon, the man wearing a baseball cap was rescued. He was single and lived alone. He had just gone to the supermarket before the apocalypse and had some food at home. He looked to be in much better condition than the others.
Jiang Tao decided to let him go to room 8502 with the group, and then lead them downstairs together, so that both sides would be safer.
The man knew the rescue team's difficulties, so he didn't make a fuss and went upstairs with them.
Upon arriving at the entrance of 8502, the soldiers routinely used thermal imagers for observation.
The instrument showed that there was only one person inside, huddled up in the room, with no other heat source.
Jiang Tao knocked on the door, waiting for the other person to come over, but for some reason, the person remained huddled inside, motionless.
Could he have fainted from hunger? Jiang Tao considered this possibility.
So he signaled to his men to get out the tools and open the door.
The sound of a lock being opened was unavoidable, and the others formed a perimeter, keeping watch.
Fortunately, the soldiers who picked the lock acted quickly and soon removed the entire lock. They opened the door and carefully went inside.
Based on the location of the thermal imager, Jiang Tao found the thin girl hiding in the storage room.
A moment of doubt flashed through Jiang Tao's mind when he saw her.
Where are the girl's family? Why is she hiding even though she doesn't have any deformities?
The girl was pale and her lips were chapped, clearly having fainted from hunger. Jiang Tao didn't have time to think, so he immediately knelt down and gave her an injection of glucose as first aid, then had his men carry her on their backs.
"team leader!"
A soldier suddenly shouted anxiously, and his teammates outside all raised their guns.
Jiang Tao turned around and saw a deformed human, who had become one with the refrigerator, standing silently in the living room outside the storage room.
The refrigerator door was wide open, revealing the rotting, decaying internal organs inside. Its strangely long limbs stretched out from all four sides of the refrigerator, its neck protruding like a giraffe's, leaving only its predatory, scarlet pupils staring at them. A soft, long tongue emerged from its sharp teeth and licked its lips.
He looked at the thermal imager in his teammate's hand; it was blank, as if the monster on the other side was just their illusion.
Now, Jiang Tao finally understands why the little girl had to hide in the storage room and starve to death even though there were no deformed people in the house.
At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.
……
Miao Yin told Yan Shuzhou to stay in the car, and then she went out.
"Why did you run out here? Get back in the car right now, it's dangerous outside," a medic warned her as he stopped her wandering around.
"I'm looking for a pregnant woman, where is she?"
The medic looked at her suspiciously: "What do you want with her?"
“I’m a little worried about her condition; we’re neighbors,” Miao Yin said, revealing a hint of concern.
The medics were very busy. After all, not everyone could come down unscathed like Miao Yin. Many had fallen ill from hunger or lost limbs. They didn't expect her to lie to them about something like this, so they pointed to a car behind them and said, "She's over there. She's not feeling well right now, so don't disturb her rest."
After saying that, she hurried off to work.
Miao Yin followed the direction she pointed and walked to the back door of the car.
The pregnant woman lay on a stretcher with her eyes closed, her body pale as if she had been drained of life by something, and she looked like she would die at any moment.
Her belly was swollen high, and three medics were anxiously maintaining her vital signs.
Her husband, having to give up his seat to someone else, can only lean against the car, breathing heavily, his eyes vacant as he awaits the outcome.
"The heart rate has dropped again!" A female medic said anxiously, wiping the sweat from her forehead as she looked at the instruments next to her.
“We can’t give any more adrenaline; it’s already too much.” Another male medic said gravely.
Looking at the pregnant woman on the stretcher, barely alive, he finally turned to the husband and said heavily, "Sir, you need to be prepared. If necessary, we can only save the child at most."
The husband's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground: "No, no... She was perfectly fine just now, how could this be... You must have made a mistake... You must have made a mistake..."
“Sir, you can go out now. We'll take care of things here,” the female medic said to him.
The underlying message is that what's coming next is too painful for you to bear, so you should leave now.
"No, no..." The husband was heartbroken. "I won't leave. I want to stay with my wife... If she dies, I won't live either..."
After saying this, the man covered his face and began to weep, and the silver wedding ring on his ring finger darkened.
"drop----"
"!!!"
The sudden drop in heart rate startled everyone in the vehicle, and the medics immediately began performing CPR on the pregnant woman.
Before I could even finish the test, my heartbeat suddenly returned, and the green line on the monitor was beating strongly.
Just as the medics were looking at each other in bewilderment, the unconscious pregnant woman suddenly opened her eyes and screamed in pain!
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"
She sprang up from the stretcher, her limbs convulsing violently with such force that she tore off her own fingernails. She was drenched in cold sweat, her eyes rolled back, and the capillaries on her face burst, clearly indicating that she was in extreme pain.
The medics quickly pressed down on her limbs to prevent her from hurting herself.
“Epilepsy, it’s epilepsy!” one of the male medics guessed instinctively.
"sedative!!!"
As soon as they took out the medicine, the pregnant woman vomited blood, her skin turned ashen, and she stopped breathing through her nose.
"drop----"
The electrocardiogram machine emitted another deathly gasp.
"Wife!!!"
The man pushed past them, grabbed the pregnant woman's hand, and collapsed in tears beside her.
how so? !
This question filled the mind of every medic.
At that moment, the sharp-eyed female medic suddenly noticed that the pregnant woman's chest was still rising and falling.
She exclaimed in shock, "Look, isn't she still breathing?!"
Upon seeing this, everyone agreed that it was indeed the case, even though the instrument reading had clearly returned to zero!
"Open your clothes!"
The male medic took out a pair of scissors and cut open the pregnant woman's clothes from her chest to her stomach. The sight before them was like a bucket of ice water being poured over their heads, chilling them to the bone.
—Only the dark blue veins and bulging lines on the pregnant woman's large belly were clearly visible. Her skin was so thin that you could almost see her internal organs. Under that terrifying layer of flesh, the fetus was constantly moving its body, occasionally sticking out the arcs of tiny hands and feet.
"My child? My child? He's alive! Hey! Speak up! Do something! My child is alive!"
The husband, unaware of the situation, assumed that his beloved wife had left him with a child after her death, and hurriedly grabbed the medic's hand to have the surgery performed.
But medics aren't just ordinary doctors. Putting aside the question of how a mere fetus could possibly achieve this, they've seen many bizarre and deformed people and have much more to consider.
"No! Get out! Everyone get out immediately!"
The male medic shouted, grabbing the man's hand and trying to rush out.
But it was too late. Sensing that its demonic fetus had been exposed, it tore open its mother's belly and crawled out, pouncing on the medic who was about to run out of the vehicle and biting off his neck!
The medic collapsed by the car door; instead of spurting out as expected, blood gushed down his body.
The demonic fetus, resembling a Kumanthong, greedily sucked on the sweet milk, clearly finding it its own mother's milk.
The blood nourished the skinny demon fetus, making it plump up like an inflated ball, and its dark skin became much brighter.
The person whose blood it sucked instantly withered and became a dead body.
