The white walls around the single ward were splattered with glaring blood, and the bed was almost stained from white to red by the dirty blood. The trash can in the corner was upside down, and the discarded ampoules and medicine boxes inside were scattered, and a dead body was twisted. The ground and the garbage nest together.
Everything indicated that a fierce battle had just occurred in this locked room. At first glance, the deadly wound of the corpse was the bullet hole in the temple, but the white and blue hospital gown he was wearing had been stained beyond recognition with blood. Not exactly bleeding from a gunshot wound to the head.
Observe carefully, the skin all over his body is festered, the blood leaks from under the skin, his face has also been completely festered and his original appearance cannot be seen, a pair of eyes are still open, and the eyes that are dying to die have all turned red at this time, The pupils disappeared, and the scariest thing was his mouth. The corners of his mouth were raised abnormally, almost reaching to the base of his ears, matching his festered and bleeding lips, just like the smiley makeup painted by a circus clown.
Such a high state of decay makes it hard to believe that the body had only been dead for three minutes.
Firefly Omega was panting violently, leaning against the hospital bed, holding a pistol in his hand. He was trembling all over, his lips were a little white, and he wiped off the dirty blood on the pistol with the bed sheet.
They originally escorted the doctors from the Union Medical Association to rescue the medical staff of Enxi Hospital, but they were attacked by a large number of crazy infected patients on the way, and they scattered in all directions. The only places where they could temporarily hide were the four unlocked wards.
"Doctor Han... don't be afraid, I will protect you." Yingying tried her best to calm herself down, and turned to the alpha in the white coat, "Are you injured?"
There was only one living person in the room besides Hotaru, and that was the doctor standing in the middle of the ward with one hand in the pocket of his white coat and a small silver lockbox.
The doctor put the lockbox in his hand lightly on the ground. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and the hanging thin chains swayed slightly with his movements. This alpha has a slightly thinner face, short flaxen-colored hair slightly curly, and a dignified and attractive appearance.
Han Xingqian didn't answer, but went straight to the corpse, put on gloves to check the condition of the corpse, and then recorded the results on the notepad in his pocket.
Although he didn't respond, Yingying still felt a gentle soothing pheromone in the air, and her body felt much better immediately.
While Dr. Han was obsessed with examining the corpse, Ying checked her backpack. There was still a day's worth of water and food in it. In addition to the pistol, she also carried a microgun on her back, with only 100 rounds of ammunition left.
He picked up Weichong cautiously, quietly leaned against the door, and peeked at the situation outside through the glass window above the ward door.
The lights deep in the corridor flickered on and off, and a shadow walked slowly with stiff steps.
Ying's hands holding Wei Chong were shaking, but she didn't even dare to swallow a mouthful of saliva, holding her breath and staring at that person.
The man's face was ashen, with a layer of dead white, and he was wearing the same blue and white hospital gown as the corpse in the ward. He was holding an infusion stand in his right hand, and a dangling empty bottle was hanging on the infusion stand. The infusion needle was still stuck on the back of his left hand.
The patient walked to the door of the ward where Yingying was, and stopped.
Yingying desperately covered her mouth, held her breath, and tried to calm her heartbeat, but she didn't dare to close her eyes, lest she miss the patient's sudden attack.
The patient's eyes were covered in red, but the black pupils had not completely disappeared. He stopped slowly, glanced at his empty bottle, adjusted the position of the bottle, turned around slowly, and walked back the way he came. gone back.
When the patient disappeared from sight, Yingying dared to take a big breath.
After the examination, Dr. Han took off his gloves, looked back at Ying Ying who was trembling all over, and the corner of his lips curled up in a mocking arc: "Don't force yourself, let's rest for a while."
"We don't have enough water and food." Ying Ying anxiously tried to open the locked ward door with a tactical dagger, "We must get out from here as soon as possible. I wrote down the route when I escaped. There is an elevator dedicated to surgery at the easternmost end of the hospital." , we can try to go up to the roof. Now the helicopters of the PBB troops should be carrying out a sweeping search over the city of Enxi. As long as we can get up to the roof, we can leave. When I contact the headquarters, I will ask them to send someone to rescue other people. "
But the ward lock requires an access control card, and there is basically no place to pry it apart except for a card slot.
Han Xingqian was noncommittal, and went around the ward to check the things inside, and found that the computer on the desk was in an automatic black screen state, and when he moved the mouse lightly, the screen would light up.
This is a monitor with four screens in total.
"Come here and take a look at this." Han Xingqian put his hands on the table and called Ying.
There are numbers in the upper left corner of each screen: Ward No. 1, Ward No. 2, Ward No. 3, and Ward No. 4.
In the picture of Ward 1, there is a patient sitting in a daze on the hospital bed, holding an infusion stand in his hand and taking off his shoes. There is also a computer next to his hospital bed. It can be seen that the computer also displays four screens, but it is completely unclear what is on the screen.
Ying was startled, and whispered, "He is the patient I saw just now."
The mongoose and Nile crocodile, who are also special trainees, are kept in Ward 2, and they protect the doctors of Enxi Hospital. In fact, the installation location of this camera is very strange. It seems to be installed under the bed. Because they live and live together in the training base, they are very familiar with each other, so Yingying can recognize them by their feet and trouser legs.
Han Xingqian narrowed his eyes: "Wait a minute, it looks like a painting is glued to the bottom of the bed."
Because the camera was installed under the bed, the picture was a bit dim. After careful identification, the two confirmed that it was an enlarged playing card, and it was the little ghost card in JOKER.
The picture in Ward No. 3 is Yingying and Han Xingqian surrounded by the computer.
Yingying thought for a while: "So we are in Ward 3?"
Ward No. 4 has a relatively high viewing angle. There are clownfish and several doctors from the Union Medical Association inside. There is also a computer in front of the bed. Due to the different viewing angles, it is possible to vaguely recognize that their second and third screens are under the bed of the ward. A painting, but what is on the painting is completely unclear.
Yingying thought for a while, and lay down on the ground trying to see if there was anything stuck under the hospital bed in her room.
Doctor Han asked, "Is there?"
Ying replied: "Yes, yes! But it's too dark inside, I can't see what is painted, and there are iron bars welded between the legs of the bed, so I can't climb in."
Han Xingqian watched the four surveillance screens peacefully, and suddenly saw the doctors in Ward 4 gathered in front of the computer in his room.
Immediately afterwards, the two special trainees in Ward 2 obviously also noticed the monitor on the computer, and their feet could be seen gathered in front of the computer desk through the crack of the bed.
"It seems that everyone has noticed the computer monitoring." Han Xingqian thought for a while, "Don't move."
Ying was stunned for a moment, and stopped searching the drawer.
Han Xingqian stared at the surveillance screen of Ward No. 4, and walked back and forth around the bed.
From the monitoring screen, it can be vaguely seen that although the third screen on the computer in Ward 4 shows a very blurry bed bottom, people's feet walking around the bed can be recognized. So Han Xingqian speculated that the four pictures in each ward are arranged according to the four wards 1, 2, 3, and 4, which means that people in ward 4 can clearly see the patterns on the bottom of beds 2 and 3.
It is reasonable to speculate that each ward can see the bed bottom pattern of the ward in front of them, except for the bed bottom of No. 1 ward, because they cannot see the No. 3 ward where they are located and the No. 4 ward shown in the monitoring. Under the bed in Ward 1.
However, this speculation is not very useful.
Yingying asked carefully: "Doctor Han, can I talk?"
Han Xingqian looked at him, Yingying was holding a box of playing cards from the drawer of the computer desk in his hand.
"It seems to be empty inside?" Yingying said to herself, and opened the playing card box, and there were only two JOKER cards in it - a big joker card and a little joker card.
The two cards are not as thin as normal playing cards, they are about the thickness of an ID card.
"Ah, it's the access control card." Ying took the poker card and compared it to the card slot of the door lock. The size was just right, but she didn't know which card to insert, "Whether to insert the big ghost or the little ghost..."
"Don't mess around." Han Xingqian picked up the poker box and looked at it. The decoration of the box is very simple. On one side is a smiling clown, and on the other side is a dead clown whose eyes have turned into two crosses. The clown is blocked by a diamond-shaped skull logo .
As a doctor, Han Xingqian is very familiar with this symbol, which represents "poison gas".
Han Xingqian put down the poker box and suddenly noticed the mouse pad.
The mouse pad is also divided into four grids, and two big ghost cards and two little ghost cards are crossed and misplaced. Among them, the little ghost cards are exactly the same as the pattern on the bottom of the bed in No. 2 ward seen in the surveillance.
Han Xingqian opened the notepad and wrote two lines with a pen: "It is reasonable to speculate that the pattern on the bottom of the bed in our No. , the other two are little ghosts, if the wrong card is inserted, poisonous gas will be released in the room to poison us to death."
Yingying said weakly: "Isn't there still a 50% chance of being right... What if I get it right..."
Han Xingqian laughed angrily: "I'm going to record this for you instructor Bai."
Since he didn't know the exact location of the camera, he picked up the mouse pad and the poker box, lifted them up and walked around the room, then put them under the bed and shook them.
It can be seen from the surveillance that everyone in the rest of the room was attracted by his actions. Several people in ward 4 began to rummage through the drawers, and people in ward 2 could also see their footsteps moving through the cracks in the bed, and began to search for him. thing.
Soon people in other wards also found these things, trying to find a way to signal through the camera that they had found them.
Yingying was full of doubts: "What is Dr. Han doing?"
Han Xingqian: "I have to make sure that everyone knows that everyone already knows the rules."
Yingying: "???? Matryoshka is prohibited."
Han Xingqian was not in a hurry. He sat on the hospital bed and closed his eyes to rest his mind. After waiting for about fifteen minutes, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the monitor. There was almost no change in the picture, so he said softly, "We are a big ghost."
Ying was stunned, holding the big ghost card access control card, hesitant to insert it.
"Really... are you sure... I..."
The tiny communicator in the ear suddenly emitted a weak current sound. The communicator had failed since coming in, and there was finally a sign of the signal recovering, Firefly jumped up happily, then calmed down and adjusted the channel.
"Hello? Is there any silly kid who can hear me?"
Bai Chunian's leisurely and lazy voice reached her ears, and Ying's eyes immediately became wet, and she answered with a sob: "Instructor, I, I can hear, I am Ying..."
Bai Chunian comforted: "Don't cry, I'm here. I strengthened the signal, but I can only contact you at the moment. How is the situation now?"
Yingying cried to Bai Chunian about the current situation, including the details of surveillance and ghost card access control.
Bai Chunian snorted, "I've been waiting for fifteen minutes, of course I'm going to play a big trick, idiot."
Ying was stunned, and looked at Dr. Han in disbelief. Han Xingqian shrugged slightly, and lifted the password box on the ground: "Get ready to go."
Firefly trusted the instructor's words unconditionally, picked up the big ghost card and inserted it into the door lock. The door lock lights up green and opens automatically.
"Why, why?" Yingying asked in a daze.
"I'll explain to you later, first take Brother Han to the special elevator for surgery, and meet me at the top of the building. Hurry up, it's raining outside, and I don't have enough clothes to wear." Bai Chunian joked lazily, "Long snacks Well, my brother Han's hands are precious, protect them well."
"Doctor Han, follow me closely, and hide behind me if you are in danger." Yingying took a deep breath, opened the door with a micro punch, handed the pistol on her belt to Dr. Han, and turned around to ask, "I have helped you Load it well, don’t let it go, and just shoot at the vitals in case of danger.”
Han Xingqian raised his eyebrows: "Okay."
As soon as they walked out of the door, the door behind them was automatically locked. Firefly tried to push it, but it could no longer be pushed open.
If you want to go to the special elevator for surgery, you have to pass through wards 2 and 1. Both of them know that there is an infected patient like a time bomb sitting in ward 1.
Just when Ying wanted to change a roundabout route, the patient in Ward 1 with an infusion stand came out from the door and walked slowly towards them.
"Why is he here again?" Yingying nervously raised her gun and pointed it at the patient.
"Wait a minute, I want to observe the sample." Han Xingqian pressed Yingying's shoulder, "He is different from other infected patients, why does he look not aggressive, and his expression does not turn into an exaggerated smile like a clown."
The two backed away for a safe distance, and the patient dragging the infusion stand slowly walked to the door of Ward No. 3 where they had just walked out, stopped, then slowly raised his head, and glanced at his empty bottle, After adjusting the position of the hanging bottle, he turned around blankly, and went back the way he came.
But this time the ceiling was leaking a bit, and the droplets made a puddle on the floor.
When the patient went back, he stepped on the stagnant water and fell down.
Firefly was dumbfounded.
Sitting on the ground, the patient suddenly turned his head and stared at Yingying and Han Xingqian. Suddenly, his mouth strangely grinned to the roots of his ears, showing an exaggerated smile like a clown in a circus. Blood oozes out, and the last bit of blackness in the red eyeballs disappears. Immediately afterwards, the patient let go of the infusion stand, opened his bloody mouth and rushed towards the two of them.
"Doctor Han is in danger!" Yingying's first reaction was to push Han Xingqian away, and she met the bloody infected patient alone. The patient frantically bit the muzzle of Yingying's gun, even if she was shot by a bullet, she would not let go.
With the sound of a pistol, the infected patient was shot in the head, and his body stiffened and fell down.
Han Xingqian calmly supported Yingying's shoulder, retracted the pistol, and inserted it back into the gun belt around Yingying's waist.
Ying rubbed her flushed face while walking, the communicator rang again, Han Xingqian took off his communicator and put it on his ear: "Hey, it's me."
Bai Chunian: "Oh, handsome guy, are you afraid, you miss me to death."
Han Xingqian: "What do you know about this infectious disease?"
Bai Chunian: "The circulating virus, the J1 ability of Subject No. 408 Samael, is divided into two stages, the early infection stage and the late infection stage."
"The infected person in the early stage of infection will repeat what he did some time before his death. If no one interrupts him, he will keep doing this thing in a loop. When he realizes that what he is doing is different from before. In an instant, it will enter the late stage of infection."
"You also saw it in the late stage of infection, that's what it looks like."
