This is a bizarre rule, isn't it? It's supposed to grant me many children and good fortune

Chapter 576 Corpse Poison

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I was lucky; the attending physician was easy to talk to."

Wasim said sincerely, "It's all thanks to Brother Lin Feng's money; I'm just benefiting from it."

As they were talking, a third person turned from the intersection on the other side of the cafeteria.

Nikolai looked disheveled; one side of his face was swollen, the fabric of his uniform was torn in several places, and the lens of his glasses was cracked.

Today he was assigned to be an outpatient cashier, one of the most bizarre and risky positions in the entire hospital. It was a miracle that he survived until the end of the mission and his life.

Without saying a word, Lin Feng took out a special anti-swelling ointment from his personal space and handed it over directly.

A hint of warmth flashed in Nikolai's eyes. He quickly reached out and took the money, nodding, "Thanks, brother."

Then, the fourth person arrived.

Martha came around from the back of the cafeteria. She was covered in dust and dirt, with a sticky brown stain on her hair and an oily stain on her cheek.

The leaf badge on her chest is light green, grade B.

Lin Feng walked over and handed her a tissue: "Martha, what's wrong...?"

Martha took the tissue, wiped her face, and gave a wry smile:

"When I was cleaning in the afternoon, I encountered a patient's family member who was emotionally unstable and dumped a whole bag of garbage on my head."

She spoke very calmly, as if she were talking about something extremely ordinary.

Lin Feng looked into her calm eyes, and a slight stirring ran through his heart—

This kind of composure and forbearance is truly rare.

Martha had just finished wiping her face when Derek and Hidetoshi Kuroki, supporting each other, slowly made their way down the path leading to the morgue.

Their clothes were torn in several places, and what was most eye-catching was the thin layer of pale green mist that swirled around them, as if seeping from under their skin, floating faintly on their bodies.

Looking at their chests, the gray-black leaf badges indicated their rank: Rank D.

Lin Feng's gaze fell on the layer of green mist on the two of them, and his brows slowly furrowed.

Just then, Su Wan strolled out from the side of the cafeteria. She had changed into a light gray casual jacket and tied her hair in a low ponytail, making her look more casual and approachable than during the day.

She walked to Lin Feng's side, turned her head slightly, and lowered her voice to a very low hue:

"They've both been infected with the zombie virus. At this rate of spread, they'll turn into zombies tonight."

Lin Feng's back tensed instantly, and he turned to look at Su Wan: "Corpse poison?"

Su Wan nodded, her gaze calm as she watched the two limping figures approach the cafeteria entrance.

"The incubation period for cadaveric virus is very short; from infection to complete mutation, it takes at most six hours."

"Judging from the density of the green mist on their bodies... it won't last until late at night at most."

Wasim abruptly turned to look at Lin Feng: "Derek is in our dorm!"

Nikolai's swollen cheek twitched slightly, and his expression darkened.

"If Derek turns into a zombie in the middle of the night in a confined space, none of us will be able to escape."

Lin Feng's gaze fell on Su Wan's face:

"Section Chief Su, could you arrange for them to share a dormitory room?"

Su Wan tilted her head slightly, her tone neither warm nor cold:

"Dormitories cannot be changed at will; this is the college's policy, and I cannot abuse it for personal gain."

When she said the words "abuse of power for personal gain," the last syllable of her voice rose slightly.

Of all those present, only Lin Feng could understand that the meaning hidden in the last syllable was exactly the same as when she said "I am carrying out punishment" in room 214 that afternoon.

She was clearly doing it on purpose—deliberately manipulating him, deliberately trying to make him anxious.

Su Wan is getting better and better at these little pleasures.

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow: Okay, since you want to be in control, I'll give you a good "clearing up" after dinner.

But he didn't show it at all, he just nodded: "Section Chief Su is right, the system really can't be messed up."

Lin Feng didn't look at Derek and Kuroki Hideto again, and turned to call out to everyone, "Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch."

The crowd responded and filed into the cafeteria.

Lin Feng and Wasim went straight to the A-level dining window, received their meals, and chose a table by the window to sit down.

Just as the two picked up their chopsticks, Xiaoli and Xiaoya came over with their plates.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Wasim, may we sit here?" Xiaoya smiled, her almond-shaped eyes crinkling.

Wasim, with a piece of pork rib dangling from his mouth, nodded indistinctly, "Sit down, sit down, make yourself at home."

No sooner had Wasim finished speaking than a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out:

"Lin Feng, come here for a moment. I need to discuss some issues with you regarding the sketch portrait."

It's Su Wan.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and immediately picked up his plate and walked towards Su Wan.

Watching Lin Feng's departing figure, Xiao Li and Xiao Ya both pouted in unison.

Lin Feng had just sat down opposite Su Wan when he caught a glimpse of Derek and Kuroki Hideto entering the cafeteria.

Derek went straight to the D-level window, received a plate of moldy food, and looked around for an empty seat. He spotted the seat next to Wasim and walked straight over there.

Just as she was about to sit down, Xiaoli slammed her chopsticks on the table: "This seat is taken!"

Derek froze in mid-air, his expression darkening. The green mist on his body churned slightly, as if drawn by some emotion, spreading outwards restlessly.

He gritted his teeth and withdrew his hand, his gaze blankly sweeping over the tables in the cafeteria.

Ultimately, he targeted Nikolai, who was sitting alone and eating.

Derek dragged his aching legs over step by step and plopped down opposite Nikolai.

Nikola's back straightened instantly, feeling the corpse poison seeping from Derek's body crawling inch by inch along the table.

He immediately put down his chopsticks, picked up his plate, and stood up.

"I forgot to make the soup."

His voice was calm, but he got up so quickly it was almost hasty.

He carried his tray straight to Evelyn and Martha's table.

"Squeeze in, you don't mind, do you?" Nicola sat down in the empty seat next to Martha, forcing an unnatural smile.

Martha glanced at him, then at Derek's table in the distance, nodded, and said nothing.

Seeing Nikolai's avoidance of him like the plague, Derek's anger surged uncontrollably.

"What are you hiding for, you bastard!"

Nikolai had his back to him, pretending not to hear, and quickly shoveled the rice with his chopsticks.

A dozen minutes later, everyone finished eating.

Lin Feng put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, looked at Su Wan across from him, and said in a low voice:

"By the way, Section Chief Su, could you please go to the Temporary Personnel Management Office? We need to discuss how to handle Bai Xu's body."

Su Wan glanced at him and nodded: "Let's go."

The two walked out of the cafeteria side by side and headed towards the administration building along the main road.

The sky had completely darkened, and the streetlights cast long, thin shadows of the two people.

The lights were still on in the lobby on the first floor of the administration building. The security guard on duty was looking down at his phone. Hearing footsteps, he looked up, saw Su Wan, and quickly nodded.

Su Wan nodded slightly in return, then led Lin Feng straight up the stairs...
