Chapter 183: Under the Hospital
In just a few hours, there were not many monsters left, and the occasional encounter with a few wandering stray ones was also solved by the engineer simply.
Until the car approached the city hospital, there was no large-scale monster tide, which made me wonder.
What surprised me even more was that all the lotus flowers on the Nine Lotus Wood had withered!
The body of the Nine Lotus Tree also shriveled and withered, and he lost weight several times, so I asked Sanjiu and the engineer to stay in the car, one to cover, and the other to be ready to step on the accelerator and run away at any time.
I got out of the car with the corpse puppet and walked into the range of the tree roots, the good plate oil road was stabbed like honeycomb coal by the tree roots, and some of the big holes were bottomless, I walked in the gap between the holes, and suddenly, a hand full of mud reached out from a hole at my feet and buckled my heels.
The corpse puppet took a protective stance according to my instinctive consciousness, one grabbed my arm, the other wrapped his hair around the hand, and moved quickly to stabilize my body, and at the same time pulled the hand out.
Just as the corpse puppet was about to exert its strength to strangle the person who pulled it out, I hurriedly stopped it, because I found that this thing covered in mud and unrecognizable with my facial features was a person!
Of course, when I say person, I mean a person in the true sense of the word, an ordinary person who is alive in all aspects.
The corpse puppet obediently let go of the man, and she immediately sat on the ground and gasped for breath, as if she had just finished a marathon.
Her clothes and pants and face were so muddy that she couldn't see her true face, but the mud couldn't hide her bumpy figure, so I knew she was a woman.
Sanjiu flicked his headlights twice, and I waved at him. Meaning it's okay, I can handle it.
The woman had enough gasping, took off her coat and threw it aside, wiped the mud off her face with the hem of her T-shirt inside, and took off her pants.
I couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly stopped her indecent behavior, but she still performed a striptease show as if she hadn't heard.
"Who are you?" The woman asked me as she took it off.
"Passerby A." I replied politely.
"What about the two handsome guys in the car?" The woman took off her T-shirt that had been used as a rag and threw it on the ground.
"Driver and bodyguard." I was very wary of this woman, and she climbed up from under the Nine Lotus Tree alone. I don't know if it's an enemy or a passerby.
"Okay. The female domineering president, the harem is leveraged! "The woman has a first-class body, like a fitness trainer in the gym, and even has abdominal muscles that are difficult for girls to train. Or four pieces.
"What about you? How could it be down there? ”
"Beauty. Sister's name is a secret. But you can call Sister Legend, and remind you that don't ask if you shouldn't ask. It's for your good, you know? ”
"I don't understand, I'm here to investigate this tree, and if you don't want to reveal what I know, then I'll go down and find it myself."
"Hey, I advise you beauty, there's nothing down there, it's useless to go, hurry up!"
"I don't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes, and I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible."
"Okay, don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you!" The woman imitated the foreigner's exaggerated shrug and waved goodbye to me.
Passing by our car, he whistled at Sanjiu and the engineer, and smiled ambiguously.
I don't have a problem with this kind of woman, so I simply don't look at her, and continue to explore the way, if I say that the woman is a common person who killed me, I don't believe it.
She saw my corpse puppet as if she was looking at the air, and she was still in the mood to flirt with a strange man with a cold face and a gun, and she was wearing underwear that was in short supply!
She must have a great background, I didn't take the liberty of using puppetry on her, the distribution of power in S City is becoming more and more invisible, I always feel that behind all this, there are more powerful people to do more amazing things.
And I don't want to get involved, it's better not to mess with anyone, and retire when I'm done with what I have to do.
The woman walked leisurely to the corner of the street, the early morning sun gilded her graceful and toned figure with a layer of golden light, in the background of the decadent city, it was indescribably beautiful.
Sanjiu shook me with the headlights again, and I realized that staring at the woman's back was a bit long.
I secretly spit that I was fascinated by beauty, so I quickly turned around and quickened my pace, and walked straight to the bottom of the tree, and there was no more like last time, and the Nine Lotus Tree seemed to have lost its vitality and turned into a dead tree.
I beckoned to them, and they came running with tools on their backs, and I asked the puppet to jump into the largest hole in the ground, and when it crawled out, it didn't get anything dirty, which meant that the hole was clean, at least there was no mud.
The engineer fastened the rope to the Nine Lotus Tree, and we climbed the rope down one by one, and the space behind the landing was the hospital first, and the hole was passing through the hospital corridor, and then down was a hollow, full of dry and thin tree roots, and countless human bones.
The scene in front of him can only be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of bones, and there is a metal door near the void above, similar in size to the gate of an ordinary resident's home.
The door was not closed, and we climbed up with the help of tools, and behind the door was a corridor, a hundred meters long, at least.
The metal door at the end was also open, and this door was about the same thickness as the bank vault, which was supposed to be used to prevent the attack of the Nine Lotus Wood.
Because there are many small pits on the side of the breeding room of Nine Lotus Wood, such as the roots of the tree that can be pierced by blunt objects and asphalt roads, but only a small pit can be poked on the door, which shows how good the quality of this door is!
"I've always had a question." I stood behind the door, stopped and said, "Where are the others?" ”
"Others?" The engineer looked at me inexplicably.
"Citizen." Sanjiu explained for him.
"That's right, the number of people who turned into monsters plus the people who died under the tree, even if you add the people who were eaten and killed by the man-eaters, plus some accidents or diseases that died, there should be many people who have not been discovered."
"Well, that's right, the population of S City is 200,000, and if they all die, the number of corpses and corpses should be even higher."
Maybe the answer is here, I thought, raised my legs and continued to walk forward, the engineer sighed as he walked, the entire underground building was built under the city hospital, and such a large project did not attract the attention of the hospital.
The hospital is not like an ordinary government office or company, and at night there is no one but the husband, and there are not only doctors and nurses on duty, but also hospitalized patients and their families.
He wanted to know how the people who built it managed to do it quietly, and I quipped, "You're not an engineer, you should answer this question for us." ”
The engineer smiled: "I, an engineer, have only been doing surprise studies for a few days, just pretending." ”
Sanjiu suddenly stopped at the door of a room, and there was a room every few meters in this corridor, and there was nothing in it, all of them were adobe houses.
Sanjiu picked the lock of this room, and a foul smell immediately wafted from inside, and the moment the door opened, a bloodstained hand stretched out! (To be continued.) )
