Chapter Seven: Collapse
Chapter Seven
Of course, vigilant people like Lin Chen would naturally not forget, but their self-discipline was also extremely good, and they wouldn't show any tension or unease, only tightly straining their nerves!
The entire ward, the whole hospital, and even the entire world are eerily quiet, as if they have all fallen into a deep sleep, shrouded in darkness, eerily eerie.
Lin Xun felt his way in the dark for his kitchen knife and found that after continuous chopping, this ironwork handmade tool had become somewhat loose, and the wooden handle behind it seemed to be of poor quality.
However... Lin Chen's wrist shook a few times and was still quite solid, temporarily not reaching the standard of being damaged.
Time passed very quickly, nothing happened, the whole hospital was silent without a single sound.
However, the atmosphere between people has become increasingly oppressive, just like the calm before a storm!
The increasingly oppressive atmosphere made Chen Lihao and others lose the mood to play games, and they nervously glanced around with the light from their mobile phone screens.
"Save me! Save me! Please save me!"
Affected by the scream on the phone and the heavy atmosphere in the ward, Zheng Xuan's mental confidence was severely damaged and he finally couldn't bear it, completely collapsing!
Everyone was startled by Zheng Xuan's sudden shout, but they were already somewhat used to it.
Although the woman cried out in extreme sorrow and desperation, no one sympathized with her, as Zheng Xuan's previous actions had been very unlikable.
Liu Qisong, however, apparently couldn't be bothered to care about this woman whose mind was already abnormal, furrowing his brow as he thought about something.
"Please! Please!"
Zheng Xuan repeatedly begged in a sorrowful voice, as if he had realized something and desperately sought help!
"Ah! You bunch of cold-blooded bastards, I curse you all to a miserable death!"
Chen Lihao's heart was slightly unbearable, and he just wanted to go forward and comfort him a few words, but Zheng Xuan had already gotten up stumblingly and was rushing around the room wildly, spitting out venomous curses from his mouth, like an evil spirit's shrill howl, making people's scalp feel numb!
At the same time, it also dispelled the last bit of reluctance in Yang Dehui's heart!
"MD, this crazy woman!"
Chen Limeng got out of bed, holding a fire axe, turned on his flashlight, and was about to give this woman a lesson she would never forget.
Zheng Xuan also took advantage of the light beam and successfully found the door, ignoring the bruises and severe pain caused by several collisions, and rushed out of the door with incredible agility!
Lin Chen almost simultaneously glanced at the time with Liu Qisong, one minute left from the time Zheng Xuan's number called!
Lin Chen and Liu Qisong rushed up from the sofa at the same time, several beams of light shot out, and they barely ran to the door with Chen Li!
Then, with a "bang", this solid wooden door was closed!
"Oh no! The lock seems to be broken!"
Chen Li frantically twisted the door handle, but found that no matter what he did, he couldn't open it, and was left frustrated.
"Break down the door!"
Lin Chen and Liu Qisong shouted in unison.
Chen Li was stunned for a moment, feeling that it seemed unnecessary to chase after this crazy woman, but Liu Qisong and Lin Chen spoke up at the same time, so he couldn't refuse.
When Chen Li swung his axe to heavily chop open the door lock, five or six seconds had already passed. Lin Chen could only shine his flashlight through the glass inlaid on the door and watch as Zheng Xuan crawled up the stairs along the safety passage amidst a series of stumbles!
"Go."
The killer couple had rested enough and immediately caught up with Lin Chen's footsteps.
Chen Lihao and Yang Dehui naturally didn't dare stay alone in the ward, so they turned on their flashlights and followed him!
Seven bright beams of light burst out in unison, swaying back and forth with the crowd's running, splitting the oppressive darkness into fragments!
In less than ten seconds, Lin Chen and Liu Qisong, who rushed up the fastest, had already reached the second floor.
Due to human thinking habits, once stimulated, subjective consciousness becomes blurred and the brain only issues simple instructions.
For example, when climbing stairs, the brain will only issue a simple instruction and will not change to entering the corridor halfway. It will continue to climb the stairs until it reaches the top or is exhausted.
Lin Xuan didn't analyze so much in an instant, and subconsciously thought that Zheng Xuan wouldn't rush into the corridor on the second floor, so he continued to rush up the stairs.
Liu Qisong was stunned for a moment, then caught up with Lin Chen's footsteps, and then there were no more surprises. Everyone followed and rushed to the third floor!
"Ah!!!!!!"
Lin Chen had just rushed up to the third floor when Zheng Xuan's terrified scream came from upstairs, filled with a desperate despair that was on the verge of death, causing his heart to tremble as if countless ghosts and monsters were rushing towards him from the darkness, forcing him to stop in his tracks!
"Why aren't you leaving?"
Liu Qisong gasped slightly and asked.
Lin Xun didn't say a word, but instead swept his gaze downwards, the flashlight in his hand naturally following his line of sight.
Behind Liu Qisong was Chen Li, this muscular big guy ran up to the fourth floor in one go, not as unbearable as Linchen and others, still holding a heavy fire axe in his hand.
Then it was Wang Xin this killer couple, the two of them were expressionless, didn't expend much energy at all, their physical strength was top-notch.
Finally, there were Yang Dehui and Chen Lihao. Chen Lihao didn't need to be mentioned much, with his build, it was already quite difficult for him to catch up to the fourth floor, while Yang Dehui only slightly gasped for breath, his physical strength was above Linchen's.
After everyone arrived, Lin Chen shone his flashlight on the wall to one side and said: "Everyone be careful, Zheng Xuan... is probably already dead, prepare yourselves mentally."
Everyone's gaze followed Lin Chen's flashlight to a wall, and suddenly there was a burst of gasps, even the sound of chattering teeth!
All that can be seen is the originally snow-white wall with several shocking scratch marks, the deep red color against the white wall creates a strong visual impact, making people's hearts continuously feel a chill, their hands and feet suddenly turning icy cold!
In the corner of the wall, there was a layer of white powder, and several fingernails stained with fresh blood fell on the wall ash. It can be seen that Zheng Xuan's struggle at that time was so intense, and those striking blood stains seemed to be an indicator, pointing out the direction of death!
"Are we still chasing?"
Yang Dehui, who rarely spoke, didn't dare look at that long bloodstain again and asked in a trembling voice.
"Of course, we are companions, in life we see each other, in death we see each other's corpses!"
Liu Qisong's words were unusually firm, but such words would probably only make Yang Dehui and Chen Lihao believe.
"Go."
Lin Xun rested for a while, and the physical strength consumed by rushing up to the fourth floor had slowly recovered, leading the way forward.
Chen Li unexpectedly took a few steps ahead, landing in front of Lin Chen, and scolded, "Damn it, I told you to stay safe, so just wait quietly at the back."
While speaking, Chen Li also swung the heavy fire axe in his hand.
Lin Xun nodded slightly, without objection, but had a bit of a good impression of the guy in front of him, who was at least not too bad.
Lin Xun turned on his flashlight and a bright beam of light moved along the scratches on the wall, all the way to the depths of the corridor!
It's hard to imagine that such a long scratch could be dragged out, if it weren't for the discovery of those fingernails earlier and then seeing the flesh in the scratch, Lin Chen would have suspected that this was done by someone on purpose.
It seems that Zheng Xuan's desire for survival is very strong, even if his fingers are worn out, he has not given up.
I hope she's still alive...
The corridor wasn't that long, and even if someone slowed down their pace due to fear, a few minutes would be enough to reach the end.
In the oppressive darkness, several flashlight beams flickered restlessly, carrying a complex mood of both hope and fear, searching for something that might exist...
Before sweeping over a corner, they were both tense and worried, afraid of suddenly discovering some terrifying monster. But every time, there was no discovery, which made them breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, their hearts also lifted, always on guard against possible ghostly attacks...
"Awesome!!"
Chen Li, who was walking in the front, suddenly let out a cry of surprise. Lin Chen also smelled a pungent smell of blood and sighed slightly in his heart, letting Chen Li's tall figure pass by.
(Today is a big cleanup, I'll update ahead of time. Will everyone give me more recommendations, collections and clicks to support me? !!!!! I heard that rolling around on the ground for effect is not bad, I'm rolling around on my bed for recommendations!!)
