Chapter 2: The Dead Come to Life

"Chen Tianming, do not pretend to be mysterious here. Given that you did not return for the meeting today, you will not receive the full attendance bonus for this month." Principal Li said angrily as he walked away.

"Teacher Chen, why didn't you hold the meeting this afternoon?" Principal Li, who was short in stature, had a face full of anger and a mouth full of yellow teeth, said furiously. Today, the county education bureau happened to come for an inspection, and the only person missing from the entire school was the one he usually found most displeasing. Wasn't this a clear indication that the person was deliberately opposing him?

Is that so? Where did you get hit? Are you injured? Principal Li glanced at Chen Tianming, who appeared lively and energetic, completely unlike someone who had been hit by a car

Whose blood is this? If it is my own, then I seem to feel no discomfort at all. Just a moment ago, I looked in the mirror in the room and did not find any wounds.

"Ghost!" the beautiful nurse suddenly exclaimed. She was in the process of writing Chen Tianming's death report when the disheveled corpse sat up and asked her where this place was.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing." The driver wiped the sweat from his forehead

"Beautiful lady, where is this place?" Chen Tianming said happily as he noticed a beautiful nurse in front of him who was engrossed in writing something. Her prominent chest was truly standard and captivating. Alas, the world has indeed declined; beautiful women lack good figures, while those with good figures are not beautiful.

By the way, it seems that I was hit by a car, but now I feel completely fine; I should not have been injured anywhere. Chen Tianming waved his arm, feeling that he was unharmed

"It's nothing now." Chen Tianming felt as if he was strong enough to fight a tiger. Of course, if there were two beautiful women willing to engage in a 2P scenario with him, that should also be no problem

"What!" the doctor shouted, as he desperately used the nearby defibrillator to shock Chen Tianming's heart.

"Indeed, Principal, I was hit by a car," Chen Tianming hurriedly explained upon seeing that the principal did not believe him

What? It's over, I'm going to pay with my life! The driver slumped onto the chair beside him

Hurry, the patient is experiencing significant blood loss; prepare to transfuse him with blood, the doctor said to the assistant beside him

"What? Everything is fine?" The doctor was stunned. "Alright, let me think about how I saved him just now; I must write it down and then share it academically across the country, no, worldwide." The doctor realized that his opportunity had come, the chance to make a name for himself. The person who had just been declared dead in medical terms had been revived by him; wasn't this a testament to his exceptional medical skills?

"Principal, it is like this, I had a car accident on my way back this afternoon." Chen Tianming smiled cautiously. The person he disliked the most in the school was this useless principal who only knew how to have fun and did not care about the school, but now that he had given others a handle on him, he had no choice but to be very careful.

Sigh, I have no way out. It's time to notify the family to handle the arrangements for the aftermath! The doctor shook his head and walked out of the emergency room

I am a living person, not a living dead? Chen Tianming shot another glance at the doctor, realizing that the doctors and nurses in this hospital needed proper training. Just now, they referred to him as "the dead come back to life"; can the dead really come back to life? If someone can live, they are no longer called the dead. And now they are calling themselves "living dead"; I mean, I've heard of living fossils, but living dead, I've only seen that in horror movies

If the blood belongs to someone else, then whose is it? Chen Tianming was puzzled

You just died! Chen Tian understood at a glance the beautiful nurse he had just wanted to touch. Although she was beautiful, he would not compromise on such a principled issue. If he were to die, then all the beauty and wealth would vanish into thin air.

No, it's nothing. Chen Tianhe shook his head vigorously; how could he dare to tell Principal Li that he was in pain down there? Besides, it had hurt a lot just a moment ago, but now it seemed to hurt less.

Because there was blood on his clothes, he returned to his room to take a shower and change his clothes, preparing to explain to Principal Li of their school that he was not absent from the meeting due to negligence, but rather because he had been involved in a car accident and could not return.

Oh no! I have to go back to school for a meeting, my perfect attendance bonus!" Chen Tianming suddenly remembered this very important matter and immediately ran out recklessly

"Doctor, it seems the patient's heartbeat has stopped again," the nurse shouted once more

If one is not injured, can it still be called being hit by a car

He knew that as long as he shared with the outside world how he had brought the dead back to life, he would surely be awarded the title of medical scholar, and his opportunity for promotion and wealth would arrive. At that time, money and beautiful women, beautiful women and money, would undoubtedly come rushing towards him.

"Doctor, quickly, save him!" A large truck driver rushed into the hospital's emergency room, carrying the unconscious Chen Tianming.

Today's events have been quite strange. First, I fainted for over two hours after being bitten by a tiny insect that resembled an ant. Then, when I woke up, that insect was dead. Later, while trying to hail a ride back to school, I was hit by a vehicle, yet I was completely unharmed, with only some blood on my clothes

The doctor faced a situation he had never encountered in over twenty years of practice. The patient was experiencing severe bleeding, but the blood type could not be determined, making it impossible to administer a transfusion. He feared that a mistake in blood type could ruin his long-standing reputation.

"Doctor, the patient's heart rate is accelerating," the nurse exclaimed nervously, watching the fluctuating electrocardiogram.

I am not injured," Chen Tianming shook his head

After Chen Tianming returned to school, it was already evening

"Where has the patient gone?" The doctor suddenly glanced at the hospital bed and realized that the most crucial element, just like in the illustrations, was that the person he had just saved was missing. He once again began to shout frantically, just as he had before.

Hello, Principal Li. As Chen Tianming just closed his door, he saw Principal Li from their school walking over, so he hurriedly called out.

What is most alarming is the patient's heartbeat, which at times races to a dizzying pace, and at other times seems to stop altogether, with not even a breath. However, after a while, his heart begins to beat again

Hurry, hurry, send to the emergency room. A group of doctors and nurses began to frantically get to work.

"I will give it to you, as long as you are fine." The driver said, patting his heart, which was still racing in an effort to accelerate. This injured person is quite reasonable; if it were someone else, they would have already demanded a hefty compensation.

It's fine, I didn't mean to bump into you, you just walked over like that

"Where are the living dead, where are the living dead?" After a while, the doctor joyfully ran in

At first, the truck driver thought Chen Tianming was dead, but upon feeling his nose and detecting breath, he took him to the hospital

Principal Li, listen to me, ah, Chen Tianming anxiously clutched his thigh; he suddenly felt that the area below, which had been bitten by an insect this afternoon, now seemed both hot and painful

Suddenly, the line on the electrocardiogram, which had previously been flat, began to pulse again. Meanwhile, on the hospital bed, Chen Tianming's bleeding wound slowly healed on its own, and his face, which had been as pale as that of a corpse, regained its color. It was as if someone had cast a restoration spell on him. Gradually, the Chen Tianming who had seemed like a dead man appeared to be a normal person who was merely asleep.

After a while, the nurse said: "Doctor, the preliminary examination shows that the patient is in good condition"

"Doctor, the patient's heartbeat is slow, it seems to be about to stop beating," a nurse said in front of the electrocardiogram machine

There is no hope," the doctor said

"And *the* doctor, how is the injured person?" The truck driver is waiting outside for the doctor

Thank you for your trouble, "Chen Tianming said.

"Car accident? Chen Tianming, you are not a student; such an excuse is something you could actually come up with."

"What happened?" Principal Li was startled by Chen Tianming's loud shout. Moreover, what is Chen Tianming doing, twisting his butt while holding onto his thigh? He's a grown man!

"Hurry, check it out, conduct a full body examination." The doctor ignored Chen Tianming and called over the beautiful nurse who had entered with him.

"Doctor, the dead have come back to life, doctor, the dead have come back to life." The beautiful nurse exclaimed in shock as she ran out.

Are you alright? The driver, upon seeing Chen Tianming come out, lost all his previous dejection and jumped up joyfully

Upon hearing this, the doctor hurriedly picked up the machine and desperately administered electric shocks to Chen Tianming's chest. However, this time, it seemed that there was little improvement; his heart was increasingly failing to beat.

But I am bleeding, and my clothes are covered in blood

Alas, another beautiful woman who has entered the wrong profession. Chen Tianming shook his head. From her earlier scream, if she were to participate in some national Super Girl competition, she would surely become famous; her voice alone would make her a star.

"Ghost? Where?" Upon hearing the beautiful nurse exclaim this, Chen Tianming was so frightened that he jumped back onto the hospital bed. A ghost appearing in broad daylight is no ordinary ghost! In the movies, ghosts are depicted as being too afraid to show themselves during the day.

"Chen Tianming, do you not know how to make excuses?" Principal Li was pleased with himself for cleverly exposing Chen Tianming's scheme

Is that so? Chen Tianming, do you think I am a three-year-old child? I was hit by a car and bled a lot, but I wasn't injured. Do you think you have magical powers, that you are invulnerable like a deity?" Principal Li angrily pointed at Chen Tianming's nose and scolded him. Does Chen Tianming think of himself as a fool? How could he not be angry?

No, we could not determine his blood type; it is possible that the testing equipment is malfunctioning. The assistant shook his head, stating that the patient's serum had just been sent for testing, yet the blood type could not be identified. The only explanation is that the hospital's machines are broken

"You, you are not dead?" The nurse, being a nurse, had seen many dead bodies in her daily work. Yet, she was more frightened by Chen Tianming than he was by her, and she began to believe that the person before her was indeed human.

I, I..." At this point, Chen Tianming also did not know how to explain. Indeed, his own clothes were stained with blood, but why was he unharmed

Forget it, I have nothing to worry about. What about the medical expenses? This is the most critical issue, Chen Tianming had to ask

Chen Tianming saw a doctor walking around like a madman, so he stepped out of the emergency room, since the beautiful nurse had already said that he was fine

I need to think carefully, to think carefully. The extremely agitated doctor paced back and forth in the emergency room, shaking his head at times and scratching his head at others, resembling a madman.

In fact, Principal Li dislikes Chen Tianming not because of his looks. In reality, Chen Tianming is very handsome, standing at 1.78 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes, and a prominent nose. It is said that he is the most popular gentleman in the entire school

It is precisely because of this that Principal Li is angry; why should Chen Tianming be the most popular gentleman in the entire school? Such an honor should belong to him, the head of the school.

"If there isn't, then there isn't. What's the big deal?" Chen Tianming said, patting his chest as he cursed at Principal Li's back.

Upon hearing this, the doctor hurriedly set down the machine and said to the assistant beside him, "Have you found the patient's family? This patient may not make it."

In such situations, the doctor also finds it quite troublesome

Alas, this month I have once again missed the full attendance bonus of 200 yuan. Chen Tianming sighed in pain with his head lowered

In the emergency room where Chen Tianming was just rescued

"How did I end up here? What is this place?" Chen Tianming slowly stood up, looked around, and muttered to himself
