RBCC Chapter 16

 The group of people walked out in a mighty manner. There was no one along the way. The hospital looked empty, not even the sound of insects.

  One of the tasks requires escaping from the hospital. They plan to take a look outside the hospital while no one is around. Even if they can't complete the task directly, they can find more clues.

  The hospital could be called smooth and smooth, making them wonder if there was a conspiracy.

  He saw the hospital gate from a distance. Li Xi shook Duan Zhen's hand and whispered: "There is a guard over there."

  Duan Zhen frowned and made a quick decision: "Climb over the wall and get out."

  They turned a corner and gathered at the wall far away from the guard room.

  "There are only some broken glass on the wall, so the protection is general." Xia Qirong took a few steps back, squinted his eyes and said, "Just be careful."

  "I'll go out and take a look." Duan Zhen said.

  It is not necessary for everyone to go out at the beginning, as long as one person goes out to see if the task is completed. Moreover, it is not necessarily safe outside the hospital.

  He was about to climb over the wall and wanted to pull his hand away from Li Xina, but it stopped after a while and couldn't help but look down.

  Li Xi was also looking at him with a worried expression: "Brother Duan, be careful."

  Duan Zhen hummed.

  Like an agile leopard, he rolled over in the blink of an eye and didn't even make any sound when he landed.

  Really like a big cat, Li Xi's heart beat wildly.

  I don’t know when I will be able to hold the big cat in my arms and rub it a few times.

  He was staring blankly at the other side of the wall when he suddenly felt a line of sight, sticky, hot and familiar.

  His aristocratic training did not allow him to curse, so his magic power turned back and faced another force, evenly matched.

  However, I still couldn't find the person, I could only feel that he was very close.

  "Why did the wind suddenly pick up?" Xia Qirong pulled back his clothes that were blown to pieces by the wind, and looked around: "The wind is blowing really weird."

  Of course, because it's not the wind at all, but the airflow created when two forces collide. Li Xi later blocked it for a moment, fearing that someone would notice him if he was too obvious.

  He said nothing and looked at the people around him silently.

  Xia Qirong and Sun Le are obviously not. If Clemens controls them, he will find out immediately. According to the distance sensed just now, if he appeared here in human form, he would be in Bai Hua's team.

  Just as he was thinking about it, Duan Zhen turned back from that side. He did not jump down immediately, but squatted on the wall and looked out, frowning.

  "Is there something wrong outside?" Li Xi asked after he jumped down.

  Duan Zhen did not answer him immediately, but thought for a moment before saying: "There is nothing outside."

  "Nothing?" Xia Qirong couldn't help but ask, "Is there no danger?"

  "No, it's just a vast expanse of white." Duan Zhen said: "It's like the only real hospital in the whole world."

  It can't even be called a small world, because there is only an abandoned hospital here.

  "The mission is not accomplished either," he continued.

  "It seems that we can only escape at night." Sun Le said.

  This is not simple. The monster they saw last night was probably the tip of the iceberg. After all, the necromancer can control corpses, and the number of corpses buried in the back mountain...

  Just thinking about it makes my head tingle.

  They searched separately in the hospital. Of course, Li Xi followed Duan Zhen. During this period, he was pulled into Duan Zhen's arms and hid in a small corner because he was avoiding the patrolling nurse. He buried his head on Duan Zhen's chest, feeling that he was just a kiss away from ascending to heaven.

  Fortunately, Duan Zhen had no distracting thoughts. After the nurse left, he taught Li Xi to pay attention to his surroundings at all times and not just focus on walking and looking for clues.

  In fact, Li Xi was only focused on walking and sucking, not looking for clues at all.

  He had already made up his mind to find an opportunity to kill the Necromancer at night. Anyway, no one in the game said that the Demon King could not help cheat.

  Moreover, the so-called setting that you can only leave after completing ten levels was actually added by the main system. They originally planned to rely entirely on voluntariness. After all, under the temptation of money and power, there are always people who are not afraid of death to participate in the game, so there is no use. It has to be so forced.

Just walking and hiding like this, the time soon came to night. Duan Zhen and the others gathered on the first floor and exchanged clues.

  The hospital has a total of five floors, and there are patients in every ward. It can be said that it is overcrowded. But the strange thing is that there is only one doctor in the entire hospital, and the others are nurses and caregivers.

  Avoiding these people, Xia Qirong and Sun Le found something like a laboratory, and found an experimental record in it. The record started in March. The cover said 4. It seemed that there should be three more books in front of it, but They didn't find it.

  Sun Le took the record and showed it to Duan Zhen.

  ——On March 21, Qing, five patients were injected with medicine, and all of them survived without rejection.

  ——On March 22, Qing, a patient was injected with medicine and survived without rejection.

  Looking back, there are all records like this, until the last few pages, the handwriting in the records is obviously scrawled, which seems to have happened shortly before the hospital was abandoned.

  "There are also newspapers." Bai Hua held up several cut-out reports: "I found them in an archive room."

  Duan Zhen took it and took a look.

  It was a report on this hospital that year. When the hospital first appeared, it was famous for its 100% cure rate, but the hospital rejected all doctors who came to study. Moreover, as time passed, those patients who recovered showed similar changes - cold and silent personality, unwilling to expose themselves to sunlight, fond of eating flesh and blood, and pale complexion.

  During this period, someone also tested them, and the conclusion was that there was nothing unusual, but this change occurred in all of them, which was obviously not a coincidence.

  "This hospital's ability to treat diseases depends entirely on that medicine." Bai Hua pretended to be nonchalant and said: "I don't know what magical medicine can cure seriously ill patients. And they look like they have turned into zombies. of."

  He glanced at Li Xi: "You have met the Necromancer in the dungeon before. Do you know this potion?"

  "I think I've heard of it." Li Xi leaned next to Duan Zhen and showed a weak smile: "But I can't remember clearly. It should be something on the magic side."

  "Think again." Bai Hua's tone was slightly urgent.

  Li Xi blinked: "I really can't remember. Besides, it's not important. What the potion is has nothing to do with the mission."

  Bai Hua was blocked by him and forced a smile: "What if it's related?"

  "What's the law?" Li Xi raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms: "Can you analyze it for me?"

  He was inconsistent with the image he had shown in the past. Duan Zhen couldn't help but look at him a few more times. He felt that an angular child was not bad. The soft one before was too easy to bully and made people uneasy.

  But when Bai Hua stopped talking, Li Xi came to him again, stood on tiptoe and said in his ear: "I don't think Bai Hua and we are the same group."

  The voice was as soft as before.

  Duan Zhen hummed quietly and pushed him back to stand.

  When the last trace of light was swallowed up by darkness, the hospital lost its disguise under everyone's eyes.

  The white walls began to turn black and yellow, and the wall skin cracked. The floor, walls and even the handrails were stained with dried dark black blood, and spider webs hung in the corners. When the lights dimmed, the glass of the windows was almost broken. The cold wind blew in from the outside, and it was so cold that it seemed to have penetrated people. in the bone seams.

  At the same time, the roars of monsters were heard on all floors, and the sharp noise of nails scratching on the ground was heard from both ends of the corridor on the first floor.

  "Let's go!" Duan Zhen subconsciously pulled Li Xi and ran out with everyone.

  But as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the hospital, they braked suddenly and almost collided face-to-face with the mighty army of skeletons outside.

  ... There is also a newly dead Bai Er mixed in the skeleton. At this moment, his eyes are white, his mouth is wide open, and drool is dripping from his chin and falling to the ground.

  "I think skeletons are more pleasing to the eye." Xia Qirong did not forget to complain at this time.

  There were skeletons in front of them and monsters appearing from all directions behind them, as if they were in a desperate situation.

  "Go to the basement." Li Xi said quickly: "Kill the necromancer, and these things will naturally return to their original state."

  "No!" Bai Hua suddenly shouted: "The necromancer can kill us in an instant. If you go there, you are looking for death!"

  He had lied before. In fact, they did not faint in front of the gate. He sent Bai Er forward to investigate. Unexpectedly, in just a blink of an eye, Bai Er fell to the ground and the contract was broken.

  At that time, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, not daring to look at what happened next.

  "Staying here is a dead end." Duan Zhen said coldly, ignoring him and leading the others to the basement.

  Bai Hua stood there, looked around at the monsters surrounding him, gritted his teeth, and ran upstairs with his team members. Several of his team members surrounded him and tried their best to clear a path for him.

  Duan Zhen protected Li Xi behind him and headed toward the basement. Maybe they chose the right path. When they got downstairs, there were no monsters in front of them, and there were no monsters chasing them behind them.

  "The aura of the big boss was created in an instant." Xia Qirong began to bb.

  He talks a lot when he's nervous, especially at critical moments.

  Duan Zhen glared at him and turned to look at the corridor.

  It is indeed as Bai Hua said, it is so dark that you can't even see your fingers. He took out a few fluorescent stones from his backpack and threw them in.

  The fluorescent stones produced in the store can illuminate half a meter around them. After a few stones crossed a perfect parabola in the air, they fell to the ground and spun around a few times before hitting something with a click.

  With the bright light, they could see that it was an iron door.

  "Take this." Li Xi took out a few gems from his pocket and handed them to Sun Le and Xia Qirong: "This amulet can help you block the attack of the necromancer."

  He paused and added: "What I borrowed from you, I have to pay it back later."

  "You gave it to Brother Duan directly, but we borrowed it, and it hasn't been carved into an amulet yet." Xia Qirong shouted, "Li Xiaoxi, you are so unreasonable."

"Don't call me Li Xiaoxi." Li Xi didn't answer the first half of his sentence.

  Naturally, the gems he likes are only given to the people he likes.

  If these two were not Duan Zhen's teammates, he would not even  allow to borrow it.
