Chapter 274: Hospital Incident Rekindles 2
“You talk as if I’m rich.”
Han Song’s tone was also full of resentment. The two of them stared blankly at the hole in the ceiling. Hua Xi, seeing this, felt helpless and immediately sent them a telepathic message: “You two, that thing should have gone upstairs. Aren’t you going to chase it?”
Han Song shook his head: “On the second floor, there are Shijun and Ajin. Our duty is to patrol the first floor. By the way, have we synchronized the video feed to them?”
Hua Xi: “Synchronized. They’ve already activated their battle armor scanning mode and haven’t found anything yet. Shi Feng and Lin Shao Qing on the third floor have also activated theirs, as has Zuo Xue Feng. You two be careful.”
Zhou Changyi: “That’s good. We’ll check the corpses first and send you the scanning results later.”
Hua Xi: “Okay.”
Zhou Changyi and Han Song exchanged a look, nodded, and then slowly approached the corpses.
Han Song: “They all look like they were strangled by vines.”
“Yes, there are vine marks on their necks and limbs. Brother Song, look.” Zhou Changyi controlled his battle armor’s hand to remove the clothes from a corpse: “The flesh on this person’s body is so strange!”
Han Song reached out and pressed the corpse’s stomach. It was soft and squishy, as if it were completely empty inside.
“I don’t know how they ended up like this. Changyi, remind Shijun and the others to be careful. This thing is very sinister.”
“Mm.”
Zhou Changyi nodded, but when he was about to send a message to Zhao Shijun and the others, he looked down at his optical computer and found that their images were very blurry, and then slowly disappeared!
“Shijun? Ajin? What happened to you!!!!”
Han Song heard Zhou Changyi’s shout and quickly turned back: “What’s wrong?”
“The images of Shijun and Ajin have disappeared!”
“What!”
Han Song quickly looked at his optical computer. Indeed, the screens that originally belonged to Zhao Shijun and Wang Jin had disappeared, leaving them blank.
“Hua Xi, what’s going on? Where are Shijun and the others?”
Hua Xi also didn’t know what had happened. Everything had been normal just a moment ago: “I’ll immediately have the high-level battle armor go in to find them. You guys retreat first, just in case.”
They had no idea who their opponent was, and two people had disappeared so strangely. This made Hua Xi hesitant to take risks, so she directly ordered Han Song and the others to withdraw.
Han Song and Zhou Changyi only hesitated for a few seconds before obediently withdrawing. Lin Shao Qing and Shi Feng also prepared to leave, but when they reached the second floor and stepped onto the stairs, they also vanished without a trace.
Sang Chu was coming downstairs and was startled for a moment when she saw the images of Shi Feng and Lin Shao Qing disappear: “Shi Feng and Lin Shao Qing are gone too?”
Zuo Xue Feng: “This is a bit strange. Why don’t we tell the battle armor not to come in for now, and we go take a look?”
They didn’t know what was happening, and even if they sent in the battle armor, it would be useless. Sang Chu glanced at him and said to Xue You: “Go and call Uncle Gao and Xia Ru over.”
Xue You: “You suspect it’s a new supernatural ability again?”
Sang Chu: “I’m not sure, but it’s better to have them here. This time, the supernatural ability gives me a bad feeling.”
She couldn’t explain why she felt this way. It was a feeling she’d had since absorbing Fang Che. It was strange, but she just felt that the commotion in the hospital this time should be related to awakened supernatural abilities.
And these supernatural abilities could restrain each other.
It was the first time Xue You had seen Sang Chu’s expression so serious and solemn, and she unconsciously became serious too. Originally, Xia Ru was supposed to stay and watch Gao Zhe, in case Gao Zhe lost control after falling asleep. But since Sang Chu wanted them, she had to bring both of them.
Gao Zhe and Xia Ru were still confused when they followed Xue You.
But now Xia Ru knew that his brain had been affected by a supernatural ability, so he could only force himself to shut up and try to control his brain, keeping it in a relatively stable state. Therefore, he was ready to just follow orders.
Gao Zhe, however, had never been called by Sang Chu like this before. He was very curious: “Sang Sang, why are you looking for me? Do you want something to eat?”
Sang Chu smiled and explained: “Uncle Gao, I invited you here because there’s a problem at the hospital. Let’s talk as we walk. I’ll have Xue You teach you how to use your mist ability. Aunt Gao lives on the second floor, and she might be among the missing people.”
“What? A Lian is missing?”
Sang Chu didn’t expect his focus to be on Aunt Gao, meaning his wife Li Cai Lian’s disappearance: “It’s just a suspicion. Zhao Shijun and Wang Jin were patrolling the second floor, but they suddenly disappeared. So, it’s just a suspicion. Uncle Gao, I need you to control your newly awakened supernatural ability in a short period of time. This is very important for us to find Aunt Gao. Can you do it?”
Although he didn’t know when he had awakened a supernatural ability, since Sang Chu said so, he had to do it for his wife: “Okay, I understand.”
Sang Chu: “Xue You, teach him as quickly as possible. We’re almost on the second floor.”
“Mm.”
The group cautiously walked towards the second floor. Shi Feng and Lin Shao Qing had been on the second floor before, and now Sang Chu and the others were about to reach the place where they had disappeared.
Suddenly, Sang Chu stopped. Mu Xue’s voice came from the hovercar: “Sang Sang, where are you? Why does it feel so scary?”
After the poisonous fog dissipated, the transparent, shield-like things on Lin Mu Xue and Lu Min Feng’s bodies disappeared. Sang Chu had directly put them into the hovercar and taken them with her. She didn’t expect Lin Mu Xue’s first words upon waking up to be this.
Lu Min Feng: “A Chu, let us out first. I have something to tell you.”
“Okay.”
Sang Chu hesitated for a moment and directly let the two of them out. Lu Min Feng was still very weak. She didn’t know what he had been through; he was leaning on Mu Xue. Sang Chu suspected he was doing it on purpose.
“Cough cough.”
Sensing Sang Chu’s gaze, Lu Min Feng coughed lightly, feeling guilty. Mu Xue patted his back with concern: “What’s wrong? If you still feel unwell, go back and lie down. I’ll stay with Sang Sang.”
Lu Min Feng looked at Mu Xue with a slightly doting smile on his pale face: “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Sang Chu took a deep breath. Seeing her own cabbage being ‘plowed,’ she couldn’t say anything: “What do you want to say?”
Lu Min Feng glanced at Gao Zhe, then at Xia Ru, and said: “This time, not only Xia Ru and Uncle Gao awakened supernatural abilities, but I also gained a new one. Xiao Xue did too.”
Lin Mu Xue was shocked to hear this: “Me? What new supernatural ability did I awaken?”
Lu Min Feng looked at her with great tenderness: “You don’t feel it yourself, but A Chu should have seen it. It’s the protective shield on Xiao Xue and me. When the poisonous fog spread, Xiao Xue lost consciousness, and a light emanated from her, enveloping her and me, isolating us from the poisonous fog’s erosion. However, this shield has a detoxification effect on Xiao Xue, but for me, it only provides protection and cannot detoxify. It can only prevent my injuries from worsening due to the poison.”
