Wasn’t it supposed to be safe once inside the room? Was Little Bai’s analysis wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment of his utmost horror, the incessant shrill alarm suddenly snapped him back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the lights flashed just now, he was too preoccupied with escaping to close his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Xu Hao quickly shut his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alarming sound of the iron door being pierced still exploded in his ears, refusing to cease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud! Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long knife was withdrawn and thrust in again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than half a minute, dozens of holes riddled the iron door, flaking rust cascading down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hao repeated the experiment of closing and opening his eyes, but after several unsuccessful attempts, he sat down heavily on the cold floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This door won’t hold much longer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He panted heavily, a sharp pain drilled from the wound on his left shoulder, forcing him to grit his teeth in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly stripped off his hospital gown, tearing it into several cloth strips, and haphazardly wrapped the bleeding wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he fixated on the now thoroughly battered iron door, thoughts racing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The threat of death had never felt so real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This damned place was far more dangerous than he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That guy named Xiao Shuai was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person could never possibly make it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the dark ventilation duct, Xiao Shuai was dragging his body forward slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After separating from Xu Hao, he carefully felt his way through and finally found the safety passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reaching the second floor, the stairway platform leading to the third floor had completely vanished, replaced by a bare wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the designer deliberately sealed off the upward path, blocking any shortcut or loophole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helpless, he could only push open the fire door on the second floor and retreat back into the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after only a few steps, the alarm suddenly blared again, and the lights began flashing wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corridor was instantly and tightly blocked by \"patients\" swarming in from both ends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With life on the line, he glimpsed the ventilation duct above, scrambling in with all his strength, narrowly escaping disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to continue crawling through the duct, seeking a way to the third floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, a strange, piercing \"thud-thud\" sound came from below, like a sharp object slicing through metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately stopped, peering down through the grille slits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Xu Hao, covered in blood, trapped inside a room resembling a laboratory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tightly shut iron door was being frantically pierced by something outside with a long knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a massive blast echoed, and the iron door completely collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a tall figure in a white nurse’s uniform burst in, dragging an absurdly long scalpel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai couldn’t see its face but noticed it relentlessly chasing Xu Hao with deadly precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hao could only clumsily dodge between the lab tables, adding several more wounds to his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This reckless fool...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai frowned tightly, mumbling to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To save or not to save?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That reckless guy brought this on himself if he died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he reconsidered; this hellish place was strange in every corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"patients\" were troublesome enough, and that knife-wielding nurse was absurdly strong. Who knew how terrifying the \"primary doctor\" mentioned in the rules could be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reckless fool might not be the brightest, but he was physically stout and a fierce fighter, at least a usable meat shield and brawler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai cursed under his breath, instantly making up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He squeezed the lighter in his pocket, his eyes rapidly scanning the laboratory below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alcohol lamps, oxygen bottles, and that stainless-steel laboratory table in the center...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crazy and bold plan quickly formed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hao was still barely holding on with his formidable stamina, awkwardly dodging in the vast laboratory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xiao Shuai quietly pried open the vent’s grille and leapt down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he frantically dodged, Xu Hao caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, nearly scared out of his wits, thinking it was another monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon a closer look, he realized it was that pretty boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell are you doing here?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up. If you want to live, listen to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai spoke so fast it was like a machine gun, racing to the lab table while lighting an alcohol lamp with his lighter and shouting to Xu Hao:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Throw that oxygen bottle over there, smash her with it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hao was stunned, then quickly understood the lunatic’s plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have time to think, rolling to dodge the knife’s sweeping arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one smooth motion, he grabbed a half-man-high oxygen bottle from the corner, bellowed loud, and hurled it at the charging \"nurse\" with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of the flying heavy object, the \"nurse’s\" instinctive reaction was to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a shrill shriek, her long knife slicing a remnant shadow, precisely and fiercely against the oxygen bottle’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssshhh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sturdy bottle was cleaved open, a crack forming. High-pressure oxygen instantly gushed out, forming a dense white fog, enveloping the \"nurse’s\" figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hide quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai shouted, hurling the burning alcohol lamp forcefully into that mass of white fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously, he and Xu Hao crazily dove toward the room’s thickest lab table, desperately curling behind the solid steel base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny flame arced through the air, tracing a faint path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it plunged directly into the cloud of high-purity oxygen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening explosion erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>",954,"2026-05-29T15:13:38.824Z","2026-06-01T04:29:35.325Z",1,"novelbin.me","0029d416070a6073d44bb0b54bd24b58b054d56a93e146ff46627814d63c5d76","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-855","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-853",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg",{"terms":25},[]]
