The carriage stopped on the road at the foot of the mountain.
The groom wearing a metal mask said:
“When you complete your mission, walk three kilometers east along this road and you will meet me at the fork in the road there.
If it takes longer than a week, you will need to walk back to Zion.”
"knew."
Looking up at this small hill leaning against the city of Vinar,
If it were placed in the world before Yi Chen's death, it would definitely be developed into a tourist attraction, with a cable car, some entertainment projects, and even a temple might be built on the top of the mountain.
However, there are no elevators or cable cars, and even the stone steps are not paved.
The four of them could only walk on the steep mountain road and hold on to trees to experience the most primitive fun of mountaineering.
While climbing, Yi Chen also nibbled on some tree bark and then sensed the conditions between the hills by touching the plants.
Nothing happened along the way, not to mention any danger, we didn't even see a small animal.
Deathly silence.
Climbing the last short section of the hillside, looking through the gaps between the trees,
A wall built of large rough-hewn stones and a front door of the clinic made of black steel gradually emerged.
There are gargoyle sculptures on the walls, similar in style to the gargoyles in Zion.
However, most of them are full of cracks and gaps, or even completely broken, and have lost their proper functions.
"Finally here..."
Edmund stretched himself.
The seemingly casual movements were actually adjusting the order of the team.
Dagobert, carrying a huge sword, immediately walked to the front.
Edmund and Juliana stood side by side, forming a stable triangle position
This is completely their habitual behavior.
Edmund glanced at his new teammate and said, "William, your visual sense is better than ours. During the early stages of exploration, you should stay next to Dagbert, right?"
"OK."
The four of them came to the front door.
Dagbert stretched out his muscular arm with the "muscle emblem" printed on it.
The fully extended palm fell on the surface of the iron door.
The center of gravity sinks,
Both feet sink into the ground,
Use brute force to shake the gear structure between the doors and push them forward forcefully.
Dagobert's Occupation - Hercules, from the Blue Letter.
Features - "Muscle Development"
Further activate the individual's muscle potential, optimize and rearrange muscle cells, increase the upper limit of the physique standard, and appear the seventh standard - "7. Transcendence".
Allowing individuals to break through with physical conditions that exceed their limits in order to reach a higher level.
…
Yi Chen, who was closest to the scene, could clearly see that when Dagbert pushed the iron gate, the muscle stripes in his arms moved in a regular pattern, giving him infinite power like rolling waves.
"What a strong body!"
The increase in power brought by the profession is really terrifying~ If I had chosen the blue letter, I might have been able to control the various plants in the mountains, and even "turn roots into spears" like a zombie, and my combat power would have been greatly improved. 』
However, Yi Chen was just thinking about it casually. If he were asked to choose again, he would still choose the purple letter.
Step through the door.
The three-story horizontal main building comes into view.
The front yard had been razed and there were a lot of footprints left by the recovery team.
The doors and windows of the main building are almost broken.
There are some cracks in the wall.
However, the building still maintains its integrity and has a solid foundation.
Overall, it looks like an old hospital that has been forgotten by time and is completely abandoned.
Go straight along the main stone road and you will reach the entrance of the main building of the clinic.
A metal sign of Dusk-lc is hung vertically on the side of the front door.
Edmund then gave instructions for action:
“You don’t need to explore too carefully on the first day. You should mainly understand the structure of the clinic and identify potential dangers… Don’t act alone. Move as a team throughout the whole process.”
"Um."
Turning on the kerosene lamps, everyone stepped into the abandoned twilight clinic.
First floor lobby
As soon as you enter the door, you can see a large painting of Dr. Mycroft lying on the ground, with the area above the mouth completely burned.
The counter next to the door was also in tatters, with all the drawers open and various discarded documents scattered on the floor.
Directly opposite the entrance is an elevator that goes directly to the 2nd and 3rd floors. The iron elevator compartment has been severely deformed, as if a fierce fight had taken place inside, and it has long been unable to operate.
in addition,
Electrical equipment such as elevators and wall lamps show that clinics once relied on electricity to operate.
Due to the lack of electricity, the passages leading to the left and right sides of the hall were pitch black and there was no end in sight.
"Let's start from the right."
After some exploration, although the abandoned clinic was extremely eerie, there was no danger at all, and even Little Grape's vision did not find anything strange.
Simple three-story hospital structure.
In addition to the elevators in the lobby, there are also corridors at the ends of the left and right sides.
The first floor is the most conventional diagnosis and treatment area.
Gentlemen who are injured or have superficial infections will receive quick treatment here... If you want to buy some potions or even secret medicines, you can also conduct secret transactions here.
The left side of the second floor is the inpatient department, and the right side is the operating room.
Specifically targeting some gentlemen who are seriously injured and may be in danger of life at any time.
There is also a set of professional evaluation criteria here. If the injury exceeds a certain limit and the degree of pathology reaches a certain standard, the clinic has the right to refuse treatment or even execute the patient early.
Some gentlemen who know they are hopeless may come here to seek 'euthanasia' and donate their diseased bodies to the clinic as research materials.
On the left side of the third floor of the clinic is a rest area for apprentices, and on the right side is a warehouse for instruments, regular medicines and sundries.
but,
Everyone also discovered a problem. There was no area related to secret medicine in the entire main building.
"In the back?"
Leave from the front door of the main building and go around the wall to the backyard.
You will find an all-metal sealed tower standing deep in the backyard, almost touching the edge of the hill.
On the way near the tower, you can see a large number of warning signs inserted into the ground, all with different wordings.
Dangerous area, no outsiders allowed to approach
The clinic is in a critical area. Anyone who approaches will be held accountable.
The clinic has the right to execute anyone who enters the building without permission.
"Is this building where the secret medicine is made?"
The main entrance of the tower has been completely destroyed by the recovery team.
After everyone passed through a cold and dark stone passage,
Inside the tower, a rather nasty area appeared before one's eyes, which was completely different from the style of the main building of the clinic.
Material Refining Area
Even after two months,
The air was still filled with a strong smell of blood.
The flames from the kerosene lamp, after being reflected by a large amount of blood and liquid, actually created a deep red scene.
Even though most of the refining equipment had been completely destroyed, only a few remnants of the equipment remained.
Yi Chen could still recreate the extremely cruel and chilling torture scene in his mind.
The reason why it is so sensitive and the degree of restoration is extremely high is due to Yi Chen’s special training in the past six months.
Teacher Zed's "paradise" left a deep impression on him. Once it involves torture, pain and other factors, he will notice it at the first time and have bad memories.
in addition,
There is also a circular staircase attached to the side wall, leading to the secret medicine processing area on the upper floor and Dr. McCoff's office.
Stay here for a long time,
Yi Chen could even imagine some of the pain and danger of the past. A large number of patients were suffering from the pain of dying here, which made him quite puzzled.
“Why treat the ‘sick’ so cruelly
Can't we just extract and peel off the required materials
Is it necessary to use these nearly lethal means to "force" the required materials out of the patient's body? ... How is the so-called "Dusk Silver Liquid" made?"
