Chapter 357: A Scene No One Knows
Chapter 357: A Scene No One Knows
"What exactly happened?"
Wu Rui looked at the scene around her that changed instantly, and her expression suddenly became solemn.
She reacted quickly and had already grabbed a dagger in her hand.
Daggers are easy to hide and have great lethality, making them very suitable for carrying around as defensive and offensive weapons.
Next to her is Yu Xiaoru.
Before, Luo Xi arranged for the two of them to go to the nurses' station to ask questions, but they didn't expect that such a change would happen in just a few minutes.
The nurses' station, which was originally crowded and busy, was completely gone in an instant.
Moreover, the light here suddenly became very dim, as if it had suddenly become dark and there was a power outage.
"Where are the people? Where did they go?" Yu Xiaoru also took out her weapon, but she was a [Craftsman] and not the type who was good at fighting, so she couldn't help feeling a little nervous at this time.
"Except for the doctors and nurses, it seems that the patients are also missing." Wu Rui noticed that there were several people wearing hospital gowns in the corridor of the ward.
But it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Go back first!" Strictly speaking, Yu Xiaoru has been a Memory Shiren for a very long time, even An Zhiyan is not as experienced as her.
So don't be fooled by the fact that she looks like a girl who never grows up. In fact, she is very cunning.
When encountering such an emergency, the key is to return immediately and reunite with teammates without fully understanding what has happened.
Wu Rui naturally understood this principle.
The two of them then carefully returned the same way.
After taking only a few steps, the entire hospital began to shake, as if there was an earthquake. An extremely strange sound came to my ears, rumbling, mixed with a dull and teeth-grinding metallic distorted sound.
The two of them immediately covered their ears and looked painful.
Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a short while and then stopped.
"What happened again?" The two felt that the harsh sound disappeared, but when they looked again, they both showed shocked expressions.
The originally normal corridor seemed to have been deformed due to the strong vibration just now. The walls were broken and the floor above collapsed, blocking their retreat route.
There was a small gap, but unless they turned into mice, they couldn't get through.
Wu Rui walked over, looked at the broken floor, collapsed cement bricks, and the deformed steel bars exposed on them, then turned and shook her head at Yu Xiaoru.
Obviously, this approach is a dead end.
At this moment, there was movement on the other side of the closed passage.
After the footsteps, An Zhiyan's voice was heard.
"Xiao Ru, Wu Rui, is that you?"
"Sister An!" Yu Xiaoru immediately responded: "Do you know what happened?"
On the opposite side, An Zhiyan frowned as she looked at the collapsed ward corridor.
The sudden change just now seemed to have sent them into another dimension. This would not happen under normal circumstances, and it had never happened in the past.
Because of the current situation, if nothing unexpected happens, they were forced into a level scene by some force.
"But this is impossible. A very important principle in the level scene is that, except for the memory collectors born in the initial scene, other scenes must be participated in voluntarily by the memory collectors. Forcing them to participate is against the rules."
An Zhiyan is the second leader of the Awakener Association, so she naturally knows these things.
"No, it can't be moved." said the Crazy Lion over there. He had just tried to use brute force to move the reinforced concrete slabs and collapsed bricks and stones that blocked the corridor.
But even if he possessed strength above elite C level, he still could not be shaken.
"The earthquake just now caused the partial collapse of the building. This is not a good thing. If it is some kind of mechanism in the scene, then if it happens the first time, it is likely to happen a second time." An Zhiyan looked around.
In some places around, cracks can be clearly seen on the walls.
Moreover, from time to time, a strange noise could be heard from some dark place in the distance.
It sounded like something being moved or collapsing.
"Where is the boss?" Crazy Lion asked at this time.
"When the accident happened just now, I lost Luo Xi's breath, which means that the distance between him and me is more than one hundred meters." An Zhiyan said at this time.
An Zhiyan, who possesses the [Werewolf Curse], has an extremely strong sense. In fact, she has been locking onto Luo Xi's breath.
This is done to prevent any unexpected events from happening.
But unexpectedly, not only did the accident happen, but it was also far beyond An Zhiyan's expectations.
"I remember the structure of the ward on the 9th floor. The corridors are connected to each other. There is another way besides this one. Go around. We will wait for you here." An Zhiyan said.
"Okay, Wu Rui and I will go around." Yu Xiaoru's voice came from the other side.
Soon, the footsteps from the opposite side faded away.
An Zhiyan and the others did not leave, but waited where they were.
At this time she glanced at Zhou Ji.
"Can your warehouse store these cement slabs and steel bars that are blocking the road?"
Zhou Ji tried it and shook his head.
"It's connected. Unless it is cut apart and becomes a separate object, it would be like taking the building in. You know, I don't have that much space in my warehouse."
An Zhiyan sighed.
She was just trying it out, mainly because she had a bad feeling.
"wrong!"
The next moment, the building shook again.
Rumble, a dull and strange sound of twisted metal was heard, accompanied by a large amount of dust falling from the overhead. Not to mention others, even An Zhiyan, who possessed "absolute rationality", felt uneasy at this moment.
The sound in her ears was getting louder and closer, and the floor was shaking violently. An Zhiyan could only reach out and grab a steel bar protruding from the concrete slab next to her to maintain her balance.
If some gravel falls on your body, you need to hold your breath. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the surrounding dust is inhaled into your nasal cavity and lungs. Violent coughing will accelerate the inhalation of dust and cause suffocation.
Fortunately, An Zhiyan and the others were not novices, and they still maintained basic calmness in this emergency situation.
The vibration and shaking continued for a while, then slowly stopped, and the accompanying harsh sound also disappeared.
"It finally stopped!" The speaker was Zhou Ji. He was not a timid person, but he was scared to death just now.
He had never encountered such a situation before.
It's so scary.
It felt like the building could collapse at any moment.
He held up his cell phone, looked at it in the light, and then a look of horror appeared on his face in an instant.
An Zhiyan actually discovered the problem as well.
The surrounding environment changed again. The reason was that there was a ward there before, but after the shock just now, the door of the ward disappeared and turned into an ordinary wall.
But the problem is that the [Sleepless Man] Liu Ruibao was standing over there.
The other person disappeared along with the door of the ward.
That’s not all. The ground on the other side collapsed into a deep pit, and the mad lion that was originally standing there disappeared.
Only Qi Yan's [cartilage] is still there.
In other words, there were five people here just now, but now two are missing, leaving only three.
"Where are the people?" Qi Yan raised her eyebrows, her expression showing disbelief.
No one can answer this question at present.
"This place is so weird." Zhou Ji's throat moved, and his breathing became a little rapid due to nervousness.
They are all veterans who have obtained professional cards and have experienced various scenarios, large and small. In terms of experience, they are definitely the best among the group of memory-collectors.
But to be honest, the current situation is too weird.
A completely incomprehensible situation occurred, and coupled with this dark and gloomy environment, the sense of horror reached its peak.
"Not only are the people missing, the environment has also changed." An Zhiyan walked to the deep pit on the floor in front, squatted down and took a closer look, her brows furrowed.
Zhou Ji came over and took a look.
His face turned pale.
"Captain An, I remember we were on the 9th floor, right? Logically, if the floor collapsed, the 8th floor should be below, but how come this is solid ground, and there is a deep pit?"
When Zhou Ji spoke, his mind was completely confused.
They were undoubtedly on the ninth floor of the First Hospital, but now it felt like they were on the first floor.
No.
Even on the first floor, there is a basement and underground parking lot below, which means that they are now on the lowest floor of the building.
But how is this possible?
"Did we fall from above?" Qi Yan couldn't help but look up.
The ceiling above my head has cracks, but it is still intact.
It doesn't look like there was a large-scale collapse at all.
Moreover, if he really fell from the 9th floor, it would be impossible for him to be unscathed.
An Zhiyan didn't say anything.
She was very clear that the scene they were being forced into was something they had never encountered before.
She couldn't make any judgment until she figured out the specific mechanism here.
She didn't say anything, and Zhou Ji and Qi Yan didn't say anything either.
The scene was very quiet, without any movement. Except for the bright light produced by the flashlight mode on the phone, the rest of the area was dark. The dust could be clearly seen under the flashlight.
"Wu Rui and Xiaoru didn't come around, nor did they return to the other side of the collapse." An Zhiyan walked back to the entrance of the passage that had just been closed. She used her mobile phone to take a picture of the narrow gap.
Nothing could be seen except the flying dust.
There was also deathly silence over there.
"Chief An, what should we do?" Zhou Ji couldn't help but ask.
"The road ahead is blocked, so we can only retreat and see if we can find the previous elevator entrance." All An Zhiyan can do is to seize the time to explore the environment here and obtain more information.
Although it may be dangerous, it is better than staying here and doing nothing.
"Wait a minute, I can go through this gap and see the situation over there, maybe I can find Xiaoru and the others." Qi Yan said at this time.
The occupation card she possesses is [Cartilage]. It is impossible for a normal person to get through the gap in the closed passage, but she can.
