Chapter 273: Hospital Incident Rekindles 1
“Uncle Gao just woke up, let him rest first. We can talk about other things later.”
Sang Chu spoke, and Xia Ru naturally agreed. He just looked at Gao Zhe with a complicated expression. It was one thing for his own supernatural ability to be strange, but how could a good old man like Uncle Gao awaken such a vicious supernatural ability? It was too unbelievable.
Gao Zhe covered his face, still feeling a sharp pain. He vaguely felt that it was this kid in front of him, Xia Ru, who hit him, but he also felt it was impossible. Why would Xia Ru hit him?
“Then I’ll rest for a bit. This face really hurts.”
Gao Zhe was just stating a fact, but Xia Ru felt extremely guilty. “Then Uncle Gao, you rest. We’ll leave first.”
After speaking, he retreated from the room.
“Sister Sang, why does Uncle Gao seem to have no memory of it?”
Xue You spoke first, “This is the worst.”
Looking at Xia Ru and Zuo Xue Feng, who were full of confusion, Sang Chu explained, “No memory means Uncle Gao’s consciousness is extremely low, making him easily controlled by this special supernatural ability. Xia Ru, you should understand this the most.”
The supernatural ability awakened this time was different from Sang Chu’s and the others. It was more like something with its own consciousness. Just like Xia Ru, Sang Chu felt his personality had been influenced when she saw him this time.
Hearing Sang Chu’s words, Xia Ru suddenly looked up at her, “I, I’ve been influenced?”
Sang Chu: “Don’t you feel it? Xue You said it earlier, the most direct and effective way to wake Uncle Gao up, but you forgot. During the process, you clearly wanted to hide that you had a second supernatural ability, yet you still told me, and were eager to control it. Have you ever thought about why?”
“I, I just wanted to save Uncle Gao at the time.”
Sang Chu directly exposed his true thoughts: “Was it to save Uncle Gao, or to take the opportunity to fuse? Xia Ru, what I need is a supernatural ability user, not a zombie like Zhao Feng and the others who are controlled by their supernatural abilities.”
“I, I won’t!”
Xia Ru was frightened by Sang Chu’s words. He knew Zhao Feng was a zombie, but why did Sang Chu say they were zombies controlled by their supernatural abilities instead of puppets? He panicked.
Because he truly felt that it was his supernatural ability controlling him, not him controlling these supernatural abilities.
Sang Chu: “Whether you will or not is another matter. Xia Ru, you are the base manager I favor, and I hope you always will be.”
Xia Ru lowered his head, thinking about something. After a long time, he said dully, “Is this supernatural ability very scary?”
“To others, yes.”
“Then what should I do?”
Sang Chu: “Honestly, I don’t know either. But I believe that man can conquer nature. We’ve survived the apocalypse for so long, and I believe you are a person with strong willpower, and I believe you won’t turn into a supernatural ability monster like Zhao Feng and the others. So, as long as you need it, we are all here, and we will find a way to get through this difficult time together.”
Xia Ru: “Do I need experiments?”
“That’s right, it’s an experiment, and more importantly, research. Your supernatural ability is too strange and too good. No one knows what harm it will do to you to plunder others like this. Anything in excess is detrimental.”
Xia Ru: “Okay, I understand. I will cooperate with the doctor’s examination.”
Xue You listened to the whole conversation and felt that this person named Xia Ru was completely led by Sang Chu. He was completely different from the impression he had given Xue You before. Now he completely believed Sang Chu when she said this supernatural ability was controlling him.
But if it was controlling him, why would he still listen to Sang Chu?
He didn’t quite understand.
But Sang Chu didn’t intend to explain why. It wasn’t appropriate for him to ask too many questions now.
The black mist had dispersed, but it was uncertain if there was anything else in the hospital besides Old An, so they needed to continue searching.
First Floor
The black mist disappeared. Han Song and Zhou Changyi were in a hospital room and saw a person lying in a pool of blood.
Just as Han Song was about to step forward, Zhou Changyi stopped him, “Brother Song, something is very wrong here. Be careful.”
“I know. You guard the entrance.”
Han Song adjusted the height of his battle armor, changing it to a normal adult height, and walked in.
“Whoosh—”
A green light attacked. Han Song quickly dodged, but his battle armor still got a thin scratch.
Han Song’s eyes instantly became sharp. He quickly activated the battle armor’s defense and combat system. A faint blue light flowed on the surface of the battle armor, forming a protective shield.
“It’s a Wood Element supernatural ability,” Han Song said in a low voice. At the same time, he activated the battle armor’s scanner. The battle armor’s eyes quickly scanned the room, searching for the source of the green light.
Zhou Changyi’s battle armor had already switched to combat mode. He tightly gripped a golden long saber. This was a new weapon modified from the discarded magic tools that Li Yue had brought back from the Demon Realm using Sang Chu’s methods, making it more powerful and practical.
Han Song: “The scanner shows energy fluctuations, but I can’t lock onto it!”
He had already used his supernatural ability, but he still couldn’t sense the opponent’s presence, and he didn’t know if it was even human.
Just then, as if to confirm his guess, the candlelight in the hospital room suddenly flickered, as if blown out by something, and then the candle flame little elf relit the flame.
This repeated several times. Han Song’s voice trembled, “Could, could it be a ghost!”
Zhou Changyi knew Han Song was afraid of ghosts. Although he also felt it was similar, he couldn’t say that at this moment. “It shouldn’t be. I think it’s more like some invisibility skill. Let’s report the situation here to others first.”
He originally wanted to go forward and check the corpse, but he didn’t expect such a scene, which made him not dare to rush forward.
“Oh, right, right, right. Let’s report this to the City Lord first and let her take a look. She has many treasures, so even if it’s a ghost, she can eliminate it!” Han Song swallowed, his voice deliberately loud and firm, as if he wouldn’t be afraid if he did.
Suddenly, green vines extended from the ceiling and madly attacked Han Song.
Han Song dodged to the side and simultaneously extended his arm. The device on his battle armor fired a strong red light, cutting off the vines.
“It’s on the ceiling!” Han Song shouted. He quickly fired rapidly in the direction where the vines extended. Zhou Changyi followed closely behind, his gaze as sharp as a falcon’s, cooperating powerfully with Han Song’s attack.
The two cooperated tacitly.
“Boom—”
A hole was blasted in the ceiling.
The vines disappeared. Han Song and Zhou Changyi looked at each other: “This, this, this counts as…”
Zhou Changyi took a step back: “Brother Song, to be honest, you blew up the ceiling, it has nothing to do with me.”
“Are you still my brother!”
“I am your brother, but we still need to settle accounts clearly.”
Seeing him like this, Han Song laughed in anger: “You little rascal, you’re really cunning. Do you think no one will know just because you say it wasn’t you? Don’t forget, our optical computers are all on, and everyone can see clearly!”
Zhou Changyi sighed faintly: “I forgot about that. I hope this hole isn’t too expensive. I’m so poor I’m almost eating dirt, I don’t have money to pay for it.”
