Chapter 4 Flashlight

  Chen Li had an expressionless face, he was confident that as long as he didn't encounter any monsters, even a regular professional boxer wouldn't be able to intimidate him!

  But here, it seems like this is no ordinary hospital anymore, monsters and demons, they could totally exist!

  "Hum, foolish mortal, have you exercised your muscles into your brain?"

  Zheng Xuan looked down on Chen Li with a superior IQ, saying disdainfully: "Devil, is the synonym for bloodthirsty and cruel. Do you think the task is that easy to complete? I'm sure there's an existence in this hospital that we can't defeat! The best way to cope is to find a solid enough place to defend ourselves, only then do we have a chance to survive six hours!"

  "What do you think, Liu Qisong?"

  Obviously everyone trusted this refined and courteous young man. As soon as Chen Lihao asked, almost everyone's attention was drawn to him.

  Not this guy again!

  Zheng Xuan's supposedly flawless plan was shattered in less than three seconds by this question, and he couldn't help but feel an even deeper hatred for Liu Qisong.

  Lin Chen raised his right hand and gazed at the Deep Abyss Ring under the bright light, suddenly thinking of something!

  "Flashlight! Do you have a flashlight?"

  Lin Chen suddenly asked.

  "What?"

  Chen Lihao and several others were stunned, unable to understand why Lin Chen suddenly asked if they had a flashlight.

  Liu Qisong was quick-witted and immediately suggested that everyone search for flashlights in the hospital.

  "It's always good to be prepared. The lighting here is so bright that I'm afraid it might suddenly go out, and then it would be hard to find a light source."

  Liu Qisong said as he was speaking, everyone also felt reasonable and had no opinion, so they began to move in the narrow corridor and enter the ward to search.

  As expected, the hospital was empty except for a few contract workers. All the wards were vacant and the curtains by the windows fluttered occasionally in the cold wind, making an eerie sight in the silent hospital, as if there were gusts of dark winds blowing through!

  For some reason, everyone's emotions began to tense up, and their footsteps unknowingly lightened, only the suppressed heartbeat and heavy breathing could be heard.

  In the ward, there are usually one or two emergency flashlights in the drawer. It's not hard to find them, and within five minutes, eight people have searched four wards and found nine flashlights with sufficient battery power.

  It was as if to confirm Lin Chen's guess, just as the eight of them had searched one ward and were about to enter the director's office next door, the brightly lit lamps in the hospital suddenly went out!

  "The trial mission has officially begun!"

  An icy voice echoed from behind, the entire hospital suddenly plunged into an extremely deep darkness, as if someone had suddenly pulled down the hospital's main power switch!

  "Ah!......"

  The sudden blackout caused a temporary commotion among the eight-person group, but they quickly calmed down.

  A bright flashlight lit up, and a scorching white light column pierced through the heavy darkness, also dispelling the fear that had not yet spread in people's hearts!

  Darkness represents the unknown, the unknown represents fear!

  It's human nature to have an inexplicable fear of darkness!

  So there was the use of fire, there was drilling wood for fire, there was human evolution, and there was human civilization!

  There is a most terrifying punishment, which is to lock someone in a small black room until they go mad!

  Pressure drives human progress, while darkness has unexpectedly promoted human evolution... Once people are in the dark for a long time, their emotions easily lose control!

  This is also why Liu Qisong agrees with Lin Chen: being prepared for any situation! When it comes to matters of life and death, few people can afford to be careless.

  It was Liu Qisong who turned on the flashlight. He was the only one who remained calm enough in the face of sudden darkness to react at the first moment.

  Of course, it's not that others are not calm, at least this killer couple, Wang Xin, is very calm.

  Lin Chen, in the darkness, had a special feeling, temporarily without any fear, instead, he tore open a piece of chocolate packaging and took a big bite, and drank a mouthful of mineral water found in the ward.

  "You're still in the mood to eat after what you've done!"

  Zheng Xuan furrowed his brow, looking at Lin Chen with discontent. Everyone was scared to death, yet this guy still had the nerve to eat chocolate and not even turn on his flashlight.

  "This is good stuff."

  Liu Qisong, flashing a trademark warm smile, said: "When you're feeling tense, eating something can help relieve stress, and chocolate itself has the effect of focusing your attention and boosting your spirits."

  And also...

  Liu Qisong paused for a moment, turned the flashlight around in a circle, and said: "There's no need for everyone to turn on their flashlights. With eight of us, three flashlights at most are enough. Six hours, our flashlights can't last that long, let's save where we can."

  Chen Lihao did so as if he had received a holy order. He immediately turned off his flashlight and walked to Liu Qisong's side, while Yang Dehui looked left and right, Chen Li and Zheng Xuan didn't seem to have any intention of turning off their flashlights, so he turned off his own flashlight.

  Lin Chen and Wang Xin didn't even turn on their flashlights.

  "Is there more? Everyone needs stress relief too..."

  Liu Qisong smiled and walked to Lin Chen's side, but didn't hesitate to ask for some, because this guy saw that Lin Chen had found a box of Dove chocolates in the drawer of a hospital room, with more than 20 pieces.

  One person, one piece.

  Lin Xuan didn't care, he hadn't planned to keep it all for himself anyway. He directly grabbed a handful from his pocket and gave it to Liu Qisong, without even counting it carefully, figuring there was only more rather than less.

  "Thank you."

  Liu Qisong smiled and began distributing chocolates to everyone.

  Lin Chen glanced at this guy and found that he had some leadership potential. At least, when he helped everyone take the lead to thank Lin Chen, no one felt anything wrong.

  It can be said that in their subconsciousness, these people have already begun to regard him as the leader. However, Lin Chen didn't mind, he wasn't interested in being a team captain at all.

  Liu Qisong spoke up for Lin Chen and expressed a different opinion from Zheng Xuan, immediately being seen as a slap in the face by this arrogant woman. She hated Liu Qisong even more, originally intending to ignore the chocolate he handed over to show her superiority over ordinary people.

  However, the loud chewing sounds around her made her feel very uneasy in her heart. She was actually very nervous, but pretended to be calm. In the end, she reluctantly accepted the chocolate and started devouring it as if she was taking revenge on an enemy.

  (This woman...)

  Lin Xun couldn't help but shake her head again, as if the kindness she had received was a great injustice, like someone owed her hundreds of millions and hadn't paid back yet. The self-mockery halo she carried with her was nothing more than that.

  Next to several people, there were two adjacent doctor's offices. Several people chewed chocolate and added the light of a flashlight, and they had no fear of darkness at all, and they all came up with the idea of going in to find something.

  "Or shall we finish searching these two offices?"

  Finally, Chen Lihao spoke up, and no one objected.

  After all, doctors need to face more emergencies than patients. Generally, there are two spare flashlights, and some cautious people will prepare five or six!

  If a hospital suddenly loses power during surgery, these flashlights can serve as substitutes for surgical lights and may save the patient's life!

  The hospital office was generally locked, but Lin Chen's luck seemed to be better. He stretched out his hand and gently pushed it open, with a creaking sound, the wooden door slowly opened...

  Liu Qisong and Chen Lihao followed closely behind Linchen as they entered, while Yang Dehui took advantage of the distance to follow the three men in.

  Chen Li didn't care about that anymore, seeing that four people had already entered the office. Without saying a word, he directly kicked with all his might. He didn't even push the door to test it, but instead leaned back slightly and used one foot to kick the lock of another office door!

  Bang!

  The fragile wooden door groaned under the weight, a huge sound echoing through the quiet hospital, the entire wooden door was almost kicked open by him, and the even more fragile lock core could not withstand this force's rampage, directly damaged!
