The hospital was full of surveillance cameras everywhere, so Lu Bai naturally couldn’t rewind them one by one; that would be too much of a waste of time.
Since he knew the previous coordinates of those two death fighters, he only needed to rewind the surveillance footage at those coordinate positions to the time point when the positioning was announced.
The large screen in the monitoring room had several screens rewinding at multiple speeds, and from time to time, patients or nurses could be seen passing by the coordinates.
Found you.
Lu Bai pressed pause, a smile appearing on his face.
In one of the surveillance footage screens where he pressed pause, a caregiver wearing a mask appeared.
Although the process was very brief, at the moment the system prompt sounded, he could clearly see the other party’s footsteps pause for a moment, then quicken as he left the surveillance scope.
Judging from the reaction, the probability that this guy was a death fighter was eight or nine out of ten.
……
But principles like that are meant to be broken.
With his official identification, Lu Bai passed through unimpeded all the way.
He stepped out of the elevator, looking very relaxed, even in the mood to greet the middle-aged sister at the nurse station.
He leisurely circled around the ring-shaped corridor and sat down on a row of benches outside the hospital room.
Beside him sat a caregiver brother dressed as such, eating a box of bananas cut into chunks.
It was very noticeable that when Lu Bai sat down next to him, the caregiver brother’s action stiffened for an instant.
“Is it good?” Lu Bai’s tone was mild.
The caregiver brother’s throat moved, as if he forcefully swallowed a chunk of banana.
He hesitated for a moment, then shakily handed Lu Bai a toothpick.
“When parents educate children, they usually say not to eat things given by strangers, because they might be drugged.”
Lu Bai took the toothpick without politeness, immediately skewering a chunk and putting it in his mouth: “But I think it’s fine to proactively ask strangers for food, because they won’t have time to drug it.”
After chewing twice and swallowing, his smile became brilliant: “But the best is to directly grab the food from a stranger’s mouth, because they won’t drug themselves.”
Although he didn’t quite understand, the caregiver brother was still inevitably terrified, decisively handing the box of bananas to Lu Bai and pleading.
“Brother, let me go, I don’t want to be eliminated so soon.”
He directly exposed himself?
Lu Bai stared at him for a while, realizing that this caregiver brother seemed genuinely afraid.
So he had run into a tourist?
This type of death fighter was not uncommon, and they only appeared in the first three rounds of deathmatch duels.
These people were generally civilians, who hadn’t even received training from the deathmatch school.
They didn’t aspire to become real death fighters, reopening repeatedly without psychological burden, treating the monthly deathmatch duel as a holographic virtual game with 100% realism.
The reason Lu Bai hadn’t encountered this kind of tourist in the previous round was mainly because the survival environment was too harsh, with zombies at full strength right from the start.
“You’re lucky to have run into me.”
He sighed helplessly: “If it were someone else, they might have let you go.”
Caregiver brother: “?”
Although he said that, Lu Bai didn’t make a move on the spot.
The downside of a modern background deathmatch arena was this.
Suddenly attacking someone in public could easily lead to getting caught and stepping on the sewing machine.
“Uh, so what do you mean, brother?”
The caregiver brother kept a very low posture, with no idea of resistance.
After all, Lu Bai had a bright green “pure smile” on his head, and no matter how ridiculous the title, its meaning on the leaderboard couldn’t be denied.
That was at least the mark of an expert, obtainable only by ranking in the top ten in one round of deathmatch duel.
Lu Bai patted the caregiver brother’s shoulder like a leader and stood up: “Come with me.”
……
Room 6019, the hospital room where Yao Yi was.

Lu Bai opened the house door and saw a little girl wearing a hospital gown, chatting with Yao Yi.
“Eh? Brother Lu is here? Xiao Ying, look, this is the friend I told you about.” Yao Yi enthusiastically waved at Lu Bai.
The girl called Xiao Ying covered her mouth and giggled: “Your friend is very handsome.”
Lu Bai didn’t seem surprised by this; the look he gave Xiao Ying even carried a faint trace of amusement.
The caregiver brother stood behind with a bewildered expression, but since Lu Bai didn’t speak, he didn’t dare to ask.
“Xiao Ying? Why aren’t you staying in your own hospital room?” Lu Bai casually sat on the vacant neighboring hospital bed.
Xiao Ying put down the half-peeled apple: “Something like this happened, I don’t want to either.”
Yao Yi gradually came to his senses; this conversation between the two didn’t sound right.
The next second, the fruit knife still dripping with a few drops of apple juice was placed on his neck by Xiao Ying, then quickly moved away.
She shrugged: “Just kidding, I don’t want to become a murderer.”
Lu Bai could naturally hear the implication in Xiao Ying’s words.
However, he had no intention of letting it rest.
He quickly pulled out his official identification and scolded righteously: “Bold monster, I can tell at a glance that you’re not human!”
Hearing this, everyone present had an expression of “are you kidding me?”
Yao Yi touched his neck, which still had a trace of coolness, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two, strongly enduring the impulse to ask.
Xiao Ying squeezed out an unnatural smile: “You must have seen wrong?”
“Come with me, I’ll decide if you’re right or wrong.”
Lu Bai took out handcuffs while walking toward Xiao Ying: “Mm, I really hope you’ll violently resist arrest.”
“This is clearly slander!”
“What, you unhappy about it?”
Xiao Ying was so angry she wanted to jump, clearly unwilling to be captured without a fight.
Unfortunately, the ability provided in the first round wasn’t enough for her to handle this situation.
Violent resistance would probably only backfire.
“Fine, fine, fine.”
Watching Lu Bai cuff her hands, Xiao Ying laughed in extreme anger.
Lu Bai ignored her, greeted Yao Yi, and directly escorted Xiao Ying away.
The three of them entered the elevator, and Xiao Ying still wouldn’t give up.
She menacingly threatened: “Have you thought about how you’ll wrap this up if I’m not a monster?”
Lu Bai gave her a mild smile in return.
“You can be.”
……
After leaving the hospital, Lu Bai didn’t escort Xiao Ying by car to the Special Affairs Bureau in Jiangyu City.
Instead, he turned into a remote alley, twisting and turning through it.
As the surroundings became increasingly desolate and rundown, Xiao Ying’s mind gradually filled with unease.
“Where are you taking me? Are you crazy? So many people in the hospital saw you take me away; how will you explain it then? Say I went missing?”
Lu Bai suddenly stopped.
He turned to look at Xiao Ying, slightly surprised: “Why missing? You’re a parasitic organism, didn’t I say so?
