Chapter 350 Locked on the Nineteenth Floor
Chapter 350 Locked on the Nineteenth Floor
After hanging up the phone, the director immediately ordered the doctors and nurses on the nineteenth floor into
full lockdown.
Panic rippled through the staff. But they were well-trained, and once they understood the catastrophic
consequences of the toxin spreading, they steadied themselves and worked in sync with Sloane's treatment
plan.
The patients, however, reacted very differently. When they learned the floor had been sealed off, emotions
erupted like wildfire.
The military arrived within the hour. Soldiers in camouflage, rifles in hand, quickly took up positions at every
critical point of the nineteenth floor. Checkpoints sprang up at stairwells and corridors, elevators were guarded
by armed men, and no one was permitted in or out.
At first, the patients only felt uneasy. But when they saw soldiers suddenly surrounding the floor in full combat
gear, fear exploded into chaos.
“What's happening? Why are you locking us in here?” a young man cried, his voice trembling. His words were

“We want out! You can’t keep us here!” another roared. One young, strong patient snapped entirely, eyes
bloodshot as he charged the barricade, trying to break through.
The soldiers shifted instantly into formation, shields up, weapons steady. The tension snapped into open violence
when a doctor rushed forward to calm things down. “Everyone, please, stay calm! This is for your safety-"
He never finished. The out-of-control patient struck him square in the chest, sending him crashing to the ground
with a groan of pain.
The floor plunged into chaos. Cries, curses, and sobs overlapped. Scrouched in corners weeping silently,
others pounded on locked doors, while more hurled questions and accusations at the doctors.
Sloane arrived in the midst of the turmoil, clutching a stack of blood test reports, her face drawn tight with
urgency. She pushed her way through the mass of bodies and planted herself in the middle of the hall.
“Everyone, quiet! Listen to me!”
But her voice was swallowed in the storm. She drew a sharp breath, then shouted again, this twith all the
strength in her lungs, her voice hoarse from the force: “I have your blood test results right here!”
That silenced them. The patients froze, eyes fixed on the sheaf of papers in her hands-the papers that seemed to
hold their fate.
Sloane's expression was grim, her voice unsteady but resolute. “Inside your bodies is a toxin unlike any other.
Once it activates, in three to seven days-only three to seven days-you will die. Worse, the virus is highly
contagious. Your families, your friends, every person in this city could be infected because of you. Staying here is
the only chance you have. Every doctor in this military hospital will fight with everything we've got to save you.
But if you insist on leaving, you won't just be choosing death for yourselves-you'll be dragging countless
innocent lives down with you!”
Her words struck like thunder, Anger and defiance drained from the patients’ faces, replaced by stark
