Beauty and the Bodyguard

Not Dead Yet

“I… I want her to give me the injection…” Kang Zhaoming pointed at the beautiful nurse who came previously.

“Oh, then you can tell her to do that!” The fierce looking woman dropped the needle in his hands and left the treatment room. She was bothered by Kang Zhaoming’s strong desire in women. Did he come to the hospital to receive treatment, or did he come for the beauties?

What on earth! You dare to let her do it? Fine!

Kang Zhaoming was extremely delighted when the fierce-looking nurse agreed. He turned to the beautiful nurse, “Can you do it?”

“I… Today is my first day as a training nurse. I can’t…” The nurse quickly waved his hands, but when she saw Kang Zhaoming’s hopeful eyes, she changed her mind, “I can try if you want? If the needle doesn’t go in the first time, I can try a few times more…”

“Huh?” Kang Zhaoming wished that the nurse would give him the injection, but his heart turned cold after hearing her words.  First day on training? Try? What kind of joke is this? I’m not here to be her experiment object, what if he dies from this?

“What’s wrong?” The nurse glanced at Kang Zhaoming strangely.

“No… Nothing, I’ll ask Nurse Wang!” Although Kang Zhaoming valued looks, he wouldn’t risk his life for the sake of it.

“But Nurse Wang went to the ward and she won’t be back for a while…” The nurse found it difficult to manage, “How about I try? My technique is good, I practiced on a corpse before!”

“No… No thanks…” Kang Zhaoming was shocked. What the hell, practiced on a corpse? Perhaps after the needle, I’ll become a corpse too?

The nurse was full of life and had big eyes and chest. However, she was reckless. She wasn’t aware of the consequences. How was this something she could try?

Kang Zhaoming didn’t want to lose his life as quickly stood up and forced a smile, “Ha, no need. May I ask if there are any other treatment rooms around this?”

“Oh, yes. If you go out the door, turn left and catch the lift, the basement second floor is one,” the nurse pondered, “But it’s quite far. You look like you are about to faint. I think I should do it, what do you think?”

“No, it’s fine. I’m very awake and I won’t faint!” Kang Zhaoming waved his hands and left with Wang Shubin and Zhu Xiaozhang to the other treatment room. They cursed as they ran towards the lift. What kind of shitty hospital is this? How could training nurses have no morals? How dare they use the patient’s life as an experiment?

“Master Ming, can you hold on for a while longer? Should we rest for a bit first?” Wang Shubin quickly suggested as he saw that Kang Zhaoming was light-headed and heavy-footed.

“I’m fine, hurry up and get the injection! If I knew I would’ve asked Nurse Wang to do it! I’m so unlucky!” Kang Zhaoming thought that unfortunate things would always happen to him after he ran into Fen. It looked like it was indeed true.

As the three of them walked into the lift, the aunt who was in charge of the lift glanced at them and asked, “Which floor are you going? This is for the basement!”

“We are going down to the second floor!” Wang Shubin replied and thought. What kind of floor plan does this hospital have? The treatment rooms weren’t built together but scattered all around. There was one even in the basement.

The aunt looked at them strangely but pressed the the button to the second floor in the basement.

After the lift reached level one, everyone in the lift left except for Kang Zhaoming and the other two.

Kang Zhaoming wondered, why is no one going to the basement?

When the lift arrived at the second floor in the basement, Wang Shubin and Zhu Xiaozhang helped Kang Zhaoming out of the lift after the door open. A gush of cold air hit them right in the face and they shivered.

Rotten smell and the scent of medicine flowed into their nose. The lights in the corridor were dimly lit.

“Shit, what kind of place is this? Why is no one here?” Kang Zhaoming couldn’t help but curse.

Wang Shubin found it strange too. However, he jumped back subconsciously in horror as he lifted his head up. He was still supporting Kang Zhaoming and as he jumped, Kang Zhaoming stumbled. Kang Zhaoming scolded, “What are you doing? Do you want to kill me?”

“Master Ming, here… Here…” Zhu Xiaozhang also realized something was strange when he looked up. Only Kang Zhaoming was too heavy headed to lift his head up.

“What? Spill it!” Kang Zhaoming was impatient, “Hurry up and see where I can get injection…”

“Master Ming, you can’t receive an injection here!” Zhu Xiaozhang said.

“I can’t?” Kang Zhaoming froze, “What do you mean?”

“This is where the dead gets their injection…” Zhu Xiaozhang pointed at a place not far from them and panicked, “Master Ming, this is the morgue!”

“What?” Kang Zhaoming jumped in horror as he heard Zhu Xiaozhang’s words. He was correct; ‘morgue’ was labeled clearly and seemed especially eerie under the dim lights in the corridor.

“Ka…”

As the three of them started to panic, the door to the morgue cracked.

“Run!” Kang Zhaoming forgot he was a patient, not knowing where he got the strength from, he turned around and dashed towards the lift like crazy. He pressed the lift’s button furiously but the lift was more than ten levels above them. They had to wait for a while before the lift would come down.

Wang Shubin and Zhu Xiaozhang were also extremely nervous. Although they constantly reminded themselves that there would be no ghosts in the middle of the day, the atmosphere was eerie and made their hearts skip faster for no reason.

The door to the morgue opened slowly and a mortuary trolley gradually slid out of it.

Kang Zhaoming heard the noise and immediately fainted after he turned to see. His body was also exhausted and after he was frightened. He could no longer stay conscious.

Although Wang Shubin and Zhu Xiaozhang were afraid, they sighed in relief as they saw what was behind the trolley. A short, old man pushed the trolley towards the lift. Because the lights were too dim and the old man was short, they mistook him for the trolley sliding out on its own.

The old man also saw Wang Shubin and Zhu Xiaozhang. When he saw Kang Zhoaming, who was lying unconscious on the floor and immediately asked, “Another dead one? Why did you send him over yourselves? Where’s the doctor?”

“No… He’s not dead, not yet. We just came to the wrong place…” Wang Shubin was scared that the man will send Kang Zhaoming into cold storage place and quickly explained.
