The bandage wrapped around the nurse's face,
The expression changes are achieved by adjusting the amount and location of bleeding.
The blood stains on the surface of the bandages now present a somewhat distorted blood-red smiling face, as if it is extremely happy for completing the task given by its 'master'.
The nurse used the needle that grew out of her fingertips to poke the flesh bubble button with the number -13 printed on it.
Pop! The flesh bubble bursts
Bang~bang~
With regular shaking, the elevator began to move underground.
Each floor you descend means a decrease in the chance of escape.
Ding Dong! We have reached the thirteenth underground floor.
The moment the elevator opens,
A swarm of white rats immediately poured in like a stream, occupying the empty space in the elevator. Their shiny white fur and soft flesh stuck to the men's leather shoes and trouser legs, making them feel very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, these are Mr. Li's 'pets'. They will never attack any guest.
Come with me, Mr. Li is in the deepest ward."
The nurse led the way with a limp.
The rats crowded on the ground will actively move away once they sense an object coming.
The two of them followed immediately.
Edmund was born into a large family and had received professional training since childhood, but he instinctively resisted this area crawling with rats and felt uncomfortable all over.
On the other hand, Yi Chen seemed to be more relaxed and did not feel any discomfort.
During his time in the orphanage, he often stayed with mice and even became friends with some of them, giving them corresponding names.
After all, in that environment, mice are more trustworthy than humans.
When Yi Chen glanced at the group of rats below him, he felt a sense of disobedience.
“These mice may seem singular, but they actually have a sense of unity… The unity is controlled by some existence, or they are originally a whole.
These things cannot be called rats, but a dangerous group associated with diseases. 』
Thirteenth floor underground,
This is not a straight path.
Instead, it is a complex underground palace with many twists and turns and numerous forks in the road, which can even be compared to a large rat's nest.
Mr. Li, who creates the same space and manages the "inside world" of the clinic, seems to be hidden in the deepest part of the underground palace.
When knocking on the rusty, rat-skinned iron door, a hoarse voice came from inside.
"Did you bring them? Let them in."
Pushed by the rats, the iron door of the ward slowly opened.
The so-called Mr. Li was not as scary or indescribable as expected. Compared with the abnormal patients in the clinic, he looked more like a human being.
Under the messy silver hair, there is a face of about thirty years old with pointed and concave cheeks.
All limbs are sound,
He lay weakly on a hospital bed.
His forehead, neck, wrists and ankles were all connected to infusion bottles, and he was being cared for by three nurses wrapped in bandages and a hot female doctor.
The bed was also specially made for him, with a large hole in the center.
A large number of silver-white blood vessels grew densely on his back.
Like a tree root, it penetrated through the hole in the bed and penetrated into the floor of the ward, as if it was connected to this ward, this underground space, or the entire clinic.
It seems that I have been lying in bed for too long.
The skin on his back was almost integrated with the bed. There was no gap at all, and he couldn't turn over.
in addition,
Yi Chen's sharp eyes also noticed a detail: there was a conspicuous "moon mark" on Mr. Li's neck, which was also the iconic proof of moon infection in the record of the fake moon incident.
Can be roughly inferred.
Mr. Li is one of the survivors of the "Fake Moon Incident". He grew up quietly in the underground and created a co-location space similar to a clinic with the help of a special "moon disease".
One more thing,
This was also the point that surprised Yi Chen and Edmund the most.
This Mr. Li was wearing a tattered gentleman's suit, but he still exuded the aura of a "gentleman's skin".
Before the two of them could speak,
Mr. Li turned his head, and the silver-eyed boy looked directly at the two of them.
"The organization actually sent newcomers like you to work here? Are they short of manpower... It seems that those guys in Zion are really about to fail.
If I guess correctly, you are here to recycle this thing, right? "
Mr. Li moved his fingers.
The rats roaming on the ground brought mottled, old empty bottles to the feet of the two people.
The label on the bottle reads "Twilight Clinic's original development - Twilight Silver Liquid".
"I'm so sorry, I've already used this thing! Otherwise, I wouldn't be alive today and wouldn't be able to establish a direct connection with the moon.
Although you are just newcomers, your strength is pretty good!
He was able to adapt to the 'Moonlight Clinic' I created in the first place, quickly kill an abnormal patient, and quickly escape from the main building.
In this way, you can barely do things for me.
As long as you can do it, I will give you three rewards:
1. No longer confined to the Moonlight Clinic I created, gain freedom.
2. You can take back the empty bottles of secret medicine that I have used up and submit them for the task.
3. Antidote. "
When I heard the word antidote,
Yi Chen and Edmund have already reacted.
However,
The nurse who was standing right behind them had already inserted her fingers into their necks and injected a special medicine into their bodies.
"Don't worry, this is a plague conversion agent I specially developed. It has a long incubation period. The tested period is one week. As long as the serum is injected before this time, it can be completely suppressed.
Don't be too nervous~ Relax! After all, we are all gentlemen.
Although I have been eroded by the disease, I have not lost my integrity as a gentleman. As long as you succeed in your work, the above three conditions will be met. "
Being in such a passive situation, I naturally cannot refuse.
Just as Edmund reached out to cover the injection hole on his neck, trying his best to contain the invasion of the disease in his body.
Yi Chen took the initiative to step forward, came to Mr. Li's bedside, and made a fairly standard gentleman's salute.
"William Behrens, it's a pleasure to work with Mr. Li. What do you need us to do?"
Seeing that the young man in front of him adapted so quickly, Mr. Li was slightly surprised and also showed an expression of appreciation.
“I need you to go to the real city of Vinar.
Go and kill the "Moon Disease Patients" hiding in the ruins of the city. The target is their skin with "Moon Marks". It is required to be peeled off in one piece and the size must be at least 15×15cm.
Gather them all and bring them to me.
Remember, I'm only trading with you two, and it's you two who will come back, so don't even think about bringing your teammates in with you."
"Are these things of any use to you?"
"This is not a question you should ask. Just do it. Remember, the potion will take effect for a week. Don't delay it for too long. It might break out prematurely."
"OK."
"Go~ Go back to the clinic building, go back to your original dormitory, get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up again you will be able to return to the surface.
By the way, if you are efficient and bring back a good quantity and quality of moon skins,
I can also tell you some secrets about the clinic."
