Fear of food

Chapter 13 Chen Qi, are you still alive? (Please read on!)

Sun Xuechao was quite large, not much shorter than Chen Qi, and had a strong build, making him very imposing.

Chen Qi looked as thin as a bamboo pole; the two were clearly not in the same weight class.

The door to this ward can at least keep people out to some extent, but how do you keep people inside the ward out?

Chen Qi glanced at the toilet and was already considering going inside, locking the door from the inside.

Every second counts; even the smallest amount of time is precious to him right now.

Sun Xuechao rushed over in one stride, but Chen Qi dodged and darted to the toilet door.

Then there was a loud bang. Sun Xuechao braced his hands against the ward door, moved one leg back for support, and used his other knee to brace the door.

Chen Qi was stunned when he saw this.

Is Sun Xuechao holding the door open for him?

"Did I misunderstand him?"

Chen Qi quickly returned to his previous position and stood guard at the door with Sun Xuechao.

He continued eating his jianbing guozi while glancing at Sun Xuechao out of the corner of his eye.

But his expression was strange, sometimes confused, sometimes struggling.

boom!
Another loud bang, and a tremendous force came from the door, causing Chen Qi and Sun Xuechao to stumble.

The footsteps outside grew louder and more varied, accompanied by shouts and commotion.

"Open the door!"

"Open the door quickly!"

"Break open the door!"

Even though they couldn't see outside, the two could still sense the massive crowd outside the door.

This door certainly won't be able to hold back the surging crowd outside; it might be smashed open in the next second.

There's still more than half a jianbing guozi left!

"You shut-up, eat already!"

Chen Qi wished he could tear open his throat and stuff the entire jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) into his stomach.

"One, two, three, crash!"

As the slogans came from outside, the ward door was rammed again, this time accompanied by a faint tearing sound.

Chen Qi looked back and found that the wooden door had cracked, especially the wooden boards around the door lock.

"I can't stop it!"

"Try again, and the door will probably open."

Chen Qi made a decision in his mind and quickly pulled Sun Xuechao back.

To avoid being injured when the door is forced open.

Sun Xuechao looked around, then reached out and dragged the hospital bed over, placing it behind the door.

While this wouldn't stop the door from being forced open, it could serve as a barrier to prevent the crowd from rushing into the ward.

Chen Qi couldn't do anything else right now, so he grabbed the remaining half of the jianbing guozi with both hands and stuffed it into his mouth.

The upper and lower jaws opened and closed rapidly, repeating the actions of biting and chewing, and the facial muscles were used so much that the expression looked somewhat ferocious.

His eyes were wide open to the limit, and because he was so thin, his eyeballs appeared to bulge slightly outward, but his eyes only showed determination and longing for the jianbing guozi.

For him, jianbing guozi (a type of savory crepe) symbolizes freedom to some extent.

Sun Xuechao was busy the whole time, and quickly pushed Chen Qi's hospital bed behind the door.

Then he stood guard behind the two hospital beds, ready to defend them, displaying a formidable spirit of one man holding off ten thousand.

Chen Qi didn't have time to communicate with Sun Xuechao either; he was still thinking about whether he should hide in the toilet.

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that hiding in the toilet was just adding another door, and the wooden door of the toilet was more fragile and would be useless in front of a crowd.

It might only buy him about two or three more seconds.

Using the larger space of the hospital room to escape and maneuver might be just as effective, or even better.

So Chen Qi retreated to the corner furthest from the door.

boom!
With a loud crash, the door was finally kicked open.

Chen Qi finally saw the massive crowd outside the door. Even though he was somewhat prepared, he was still shocked!
He couldn't see or count how many people were outside the door; from his perspective, he could only see that the corridor outside the ward was crowded with people.

He had no idea where the crowd was in the blind spot he couldn't see.

But this time it was clearly different from the past in that the people who came included not only medical staff, but also patients!

The number of patients even far exceeds the number of medical staff.

In the past, when he stole wild food, he only attracted medical staff and security guards, never patients.

In this inpatient building, the number of patients is certainly far greater than the number of medical staff.

It can be said that patients are the main force!
Chen Qi finally realized one thing: it wasn't just the medical staff who were acting strangely!

The reason why wild food couldn't attract the hatred of patients before was because it wasn't of a high enough grade.

The current Jianbing Guozi is clearly special enough, more precious than ordinary wild food, and can attract more people, and its reach should be even wider.

But...why isn't Sun Xuechao affected?
The first floor of the inpatient building.

Xu An'an stared at the crowd running around her, half in shock and half in bewilderment.

Just moments ago, she had barely stepped into the hospital building when everyone on the first floor seemed to be summoned by some unseen force, and they all rushed towards the stairwell.

The entire corridor was instantly blocked. Some people who couldn't squeeze in tried to press the elevator button, but as soon as the elevator door opened, it was immediately filled with people and stopped due to overload.

No one was willing to come out of the elevator, so a silent stalemate ensued.

"This……"

Xu An'an opened her mouth, too shocked to speak.

However, she had a suspicion: Could this be related to the jianbing guozi I brought him?

Chen Qi had mentioned to Xu An'an that his consumption of wild foods would attract hatred from the surrounding medical staff.

But this time, the scale of the event clearly exceeded Xu An'an's understanding and imagination.

In a short while, everyone on the first floor gathered in the hallway and elevator lobby.

Xu An'an saw elderly people using canes and toddlers, and even disabled people in wheelchairs.

She is stupid!

After bringing Chen Qi a jianbing guozi (a type of Chinese crepe) in the morning, she felt uneasy and curious.

However, to avoid risks, she couldn't directly ask Chen Qi about jianbing guozi on WeChat.

So, taking advantage of his free time, he decided to visit Chen Qi again.

And that's what I saw.

The elevator and stairs were blocked, and there was no way to go upstairs, so Xu An'an could only wait and see.

She took a few steps forward and observed the elevators on both sides of the elevator hall.

It was discovered that all four elevators leading to even-numbered floors were out of service, while the two elevators leading to odd-numbered floors were not in use, and no one had even pressed the buttons.

"Chen Qi's ward is on the 4th floor, and their destination is the 4th floor."

Xu An'an struggled to push through the crowded people and finally squeezed to the door of the single-floor elevator, where she pressed the elevator button.

The elevator doors opened, and she slipped inside. Looking back at the crowded people outside, and then at the spacious elevator where she was all alone, she felt a strange unease.

She pressed the button for the 3rd floor, and the elevator quickly arrived at the 3rd floor.

When the door opened, she almost thought the elevator was still on the first floor.

Just like on the first floor, the elevator lobby outside was packed with people, and the hallways were also crowded!

Xu An'an immediately abandoned the idea of ​​taking the stairs from the 3rd floor to the 4th floor.

Then she went to the 5th floor, the 7th floor, the 9th floor...

Every time the elevator doors opened, she was greeted by a crowded mass of people.

The situation only improved slightly when we reached the 13th floor.

Finally, it's quiet on the 15th floor!
The elevator lobby was empty, but the hallways were still packed with people.

"Has Chen Qi attracted everyone on the entire fifteenth floor of the inpatient building?"

Xu An'an's hands trembled slightly as she took out her phone and sent a message to Chen Qifa.

Xu An'an: Are you still alive?
