Screaming Cycle

The hospital where Miss Xiaoying works is not too far away from where they are now, but it is by no means a safe distance to reach on foot.

Now that it has been decided, it should not be too late, everyone returned to the truck and let Miss Xiaoying drive the car.

Along the way, Teacher Dagen asked about the situation of the two girls.

The girl who is a nurse is named Zhang Ying. She is 24 years old and works in the emergency department of the Central Hospital.

And her best friend, the girl with a smaller and slender figure, named Min Qingqing, is a white-collar worker in a clothing foreign trade company.

The two are high school classmates and have been in a good relationship since they were students. After graduation, they stayed in the city to work together, and their relationship naturally became closer.

But they never imagined that the two of them were just going out for a trip, so they got on the hapless maglev rail car. They were both thrown out of the carriage during the derailment accident, and then they didn't know anything.

When the girls regained consciousness, they realized that they had returned to their hometown hundreds of kilometers away—it’s just that the city where they had lived for many years turned into an empty city of ashes, so unfamiliar that the two of them dared not recognize each other. NS.

"Oh, no matter what is going on, I just want to leave this ghost place as soon as possible."

The broken glass window made Min Qingqing feel very insecure. When she was speaking, she involuntarily tilted her body slightly, letting herself retract into the carriage as much as possible, "It is so uncomfortable to see hometown become like this... "

Zhang Ying in the driver's seat also nodded sadly.

Although they had faintly guessed from Jie's words, the city where everyone is now is not really "real".

This world is like modeling in a game. As long as the technology is strong enough, it can even restore a space that is the same as reality one-to-one—but no matter how perfect it is built, it is not a place that you have been extremely familiar with. Because the people who really made you feel warm and kind are all gone.

What's more, there are so many monsters in this city that can kill people casually.

In order not to disturb those "things" wandering in the dark night, Zhang Ying drove the car as quietly as possible, even the car lights did not dare to be too bright.

They unexpectedly went smoothly along the way.

When the truck drove through a famous artificial lake park in this city, everyone was surprised to find that the lake, which was originally green with rippling waves and extremely clear water, turned into a pool of tumbling magma.

Yes, the lake is not water, it is hot magma, as if it just came out of a volcanic crater, churning and gurgling with sulfur-scented steam.

"So, this so-called'world' is really simulating a city that has experienced a volcanic eruption?"

Mo Tiangen looked at the window and came up with such a guess.

"Come on, where's the active volcano on the southeast coast of China."

Captain Bird had been familiar with Mr. Dagen long ago, and he went back without a big deal, "Furthermore, which volcano has accumulated a large pool of magma in an artificial lake after the eruption?"

"This is imagery! Imagery, do you understand it!"

As a glorious teacher of the people, Mo Tiangen taught Ji Xiaoniao, who was inexperienced and inexperienced.

"You see, the monsters we encountered along the way, dragonflies, lizards and owls, are all inseparable from the element of fire, right?"

He paused and gave a simple example.

"Just like when you play online games, every time you enter a dungeon map, you will encounter monsters that fit this map? For example, if you are in the forest, you will encounter foxes, wolves, bears, and bandits; In the ancient tomb, there are screens full of zombies and paper people and horses."

Teacher Dagen shook his finger.

"So, whether it is the ash falling continuously from the sky or the strong smell of sulfur, it is this'world' that reminds us that what we have to face here are all kinds of fire monsters!"

"Well, it does make sense."

Ji Xuan agreed, and the two girls listened carefully, and nodded in agreement as if a chicken pecked at the rice.

"But how does this help our situation?"

Captain Bird asked the question he cared most: "Or, teacher, can you guess what monsters are in this city?"

"I teach biology in key high schools, not in Hogwarts!"

Mo Tiangen stretched out his hand and patted the back of Ji Shu's head, but it immediately affected the wound on his shoulder, and he took a breath of pain.

"By the way, the one behind..."

With that, Mr. Dagen raised his chin to the rear. He was referring to Jie Ge, who was lying in the truck compartment and fainted due to excessive blood loss.

"Didn't that guy say that there is still an animal like a wolf dog in the city?"

He took out his rich gaming experience and speculated wildly:

"Maybe it's a three-headed dog from hell..."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a long howl of a wolf coming from the sulphurous warm wind.

Everyone excited at the same time.

"Hey, you crow's mouth!"

Ji Tuan was about to explode his hair, and quickly went to cover Mo Tiangen's mouth, "Don't really recruit the three-headed dog of hell!"

Fortunately, the cry just now sounded quite far away.

They pulled the car window and looked over, only to see the opposite bank of a lake full of lava, there seemed to be a few faint fires swaying, and occasionally a few whimper-like wolf cries were heard.

Mo Tiangen pulled away Ji Shu's paws and urged Zhang Ying, who was driving, "Go, go, let's go before those things catch up!"

Naturally, the nurse sister did not dare to delay, stepped on the gas pedal, and drove quickly through the park toward the hospital two blocks away.

&&&&&&&&&

The truck quickly drove into the gate of the central hospital.

Zhang Ying parked the car in front of the emergency channel, opened the door, and jumped down first.

Ji Lu and Mo Tiangen consciously went to the trunk and took out the blue-clad man who had lost consciousness.

On the issue of how to take the wounded away, everyone had a brief disagreement.

Don't even mention that he is moving now, Brother Jie can't wake up even if he calls.

Among these people, the strongest is Mo Tiangen.

But even Mr. Dagen didn't think he was physically strong enough to carry such a large muscled head through the long corridor of the emergency department, and then descend into the air-raid shelter equivalent to the depth of six stories underground.

At this time, the nurse sister said that she could go to the emergency department to find a wheelchair or a lathe, but Ji Tuan felt that the risk of returning once was too high. Will not follow.

Finally, they removed a canvas used to block the wind on the roof of the truck and made a simple stretcher. Ji Xuan and Mo Tiangen worked together to carry him away.

According to Zhang Ying, there are two entrances to the air-raid shelter.

One is the elevator used to get in and out on weekdays, and the other is in extraordinary times—that is, in case it really comes in handy—the door-like entrance of the parking garage.

But no matter which one it is, the door of the air-raid shelter is locked. Although Zhang Ying knows the password to open the door, let alone the central hospital, even the whole city is in a state of power outage, so the password lock is naturally useless. .

But the nurse sister said that the nuclear defense fortification has its own independent backup power system, and the switch is in the electric workshop at the end of the corridor of the emergency department.

If this "world" restores even this point perfectly, she will be able to activate the backup power supply.

So Ji Lu and others decided to go to the electric workshop first and turn on the backup power supply of the air-raid shelter.

On weekdays, hospitals in bustling metropolises always feel bustling and overcrowded. Even the late-night emergency department is full of waiting patients and medical staff.

But at this time, there were no other people in the whole city except them. The huge hospital was so quiet that it was frightening, and it was so dark that it was frightening.

Several people walked through the empty corridor, and the sound of multiple footsteps on the smooth floor, every step as if they had stepped on their heartbeat, made them involuntarily speed up their steps.

"Very, very soon."

Zhang Ying tried her best to make her voice sound calmer.

With the help of a flashlight, she pointed to the darkness deep in the corridor, "The mahogany door in the front corner is the electric workshop."

Ji Shu and Mo Tiangen both nodded in cooperation.

In fact, none of them saw the so-called "redwood door".

On the way to the hospital, Zhang Ying had already briefed them on the structure of the emergency department and the location of the elevator.

The emergency department of the central hospital has a big "T" shape.

In the middle of a long corridor, there is an umbrella-shaped hall at the end, that is the registration area and the waiting area, and the two wings of the "T" are the medical and surgical clinics, and further down are their respective infusion rooms and stays. View the ward.

The electric workshop they are going to is at the top of the middle corridor, with a small wooden door that is not conspicuous.

The overhaul elevator to the air-raid shelter is located at the corner of the emergency surgery department. It is a "work elevator" that is usually not open to ordinary patients. After the panel is opened, the password "6677" is required to start.

Two minutes later, everyone finally stood in front of the small mahogany door of the electric workshop.

The door is naturally locked.

But this doesn't bother them at all.

Mo Tiangen picked up his shovel and shoveled it down a few times with "Kaba" and "Kaba" before breaking the door lock.

"Okay, I will go in with Zhang Meili."

Mr. Dagen copied his steel shovel horizontally, with a heroic appearance as if he were a man who was in a position to do so, and raised his chin towards Ji Shu and the others, "You guys will wait outside for a while..."

He hadn't finished speaking, he just heard a "boom", and the glass of the window closest to everyone was slammed by something.

"Fuck!"

Everyone was so frightened that the two girls screamed instinctively.

They followed the prestige, only to see a big crimson dog lying on the ground outside the windowpane.

That dog really looked a lot like the "hell dog" in European and American legends.

It has blood-red eyes, short hair, wrinkled skin, wide and flat nostrils, a long, pointed mouth, and its fangs are as sharp and sharp as barbs.

However, what made everyone even more terrifying was that the dog actually "stands" in the next second.

Ji Xuan and the others could see clearly that the dog looked like an ape below the neck, with slender arms and wide palms with five fingers visible.

At this moment, the monster, who is not ape or a dog, actually held the window frame with both hands, and then slammed into it.

Hearing a loud noise from "Yellow Nut", the window pane was cracked by its head, and the monster who hit the window was obviously injured. The dog's head hung down, and his head was covered with dripping blood. , It won't move anymore.

However, everyone could not help but think about it.

In the next second, the second and third dog apes stepped on their companions, broke through the glass, and leaped into the corridor!
