With a dull buzzing sound, the circular metal door opened back, and what appeared in front of Lin Chi's eyes was a corridor surrounded by metal walls.

Before Lin Chi could see what was behind the door, a choking smell hit him, making him cough. The vision suddenly became blurred.

The smell in the air, like a strong irritating formalin, made Lin Chi's eyes begin to flow "moved" tears, and the scene in front of him turned into a blurred shadow.

"I said, 'You have a ...... here Face shields? He covered his mouth and asked a difficult question.

"Ah, of course!" The woman's voice was apologetic: "The gas mask is at the door of the aisle." ”

Hearing this, Lin Chi covered his mouth and nose and paced forward slowly, squinted his eyes and groped on both sides, and finally found an iron frame and removed a gas mask hanging on it.

He stumbled out of the hallway and down the stairs back to the basement level. It wasn't until the pungent sour smell of formalin around him began to dissipate that he put the gas mask on his face and returned to the second basement floor again.

With the protection of the gas mask, this time Lin Chi was finally able to see the situation on the second basement floor - what appeared behind the circular protective door was a narrow circular corridor, which looked a bit like a rat hole.

As he passed through the gate, Lin Chi noticed that the surface of the round metal door was full of scorch marks and chisel marks, and it was clear that there were people other than himself who had planned to forcibly invade the basement, but in the end they failed.

The rag shoes made a crisp sound as they stepped on the cold metal floor, and the small lamps embedded in the walls on either side illuminated the corridor ahead. Lin Chi walked forward quickly, turned a ninety-degree corner, and was blocked by a dark gray silver metal door.

"Open the door." He said.

"Well, please put down your weapon...... the woman looked a little scared.

By now, Lin Chi had already guessed that something must be wrong with this woman's body, and she had no ability to resist, so she was so cautious. Thinking of this, he bent down and put the MP5 submachine gun he had picked up from the corpse on the ground, but he did not put down the saber in his hand:

"I need a weapon too, you know." Lin Chi said seriously.

"Well, I know you don't feel comfortable with me either...... the woman said.

After the dull metal friction sound, the metal at the end of the passage began to move slowly, revealing a gap for people to pass through, Lin Chi strode into the room, and then was dazzled by the bright light:

Unlike the dark tones of this apartment, the caretaker's hideout is a room with snow-white walls.

The room of about 50 square meters is full of all kinds of medical equipment. A large, shadowless lamp was installed above the bed in the center of the room, and the light was shining on the bed.

There were dozens of infusion bottles hanging on both sides of the hospital bed, and several oxygen cylinders standing side by side behind the bedside, and the smell of formalin was so strong that even the gas masks that could block all poison gases in the game settings began to be unable to resist the smell.

"Hello......" The woman's voice sounded from the speaker in the upper right corner of the room, and a thin line was vibrating rhythmically on the LCD screen of the heart rate monitor next to the bed: "Welcome......"

"Hello." Lin Chi nodded, waved his hand to the camera in the corner of the room, and asked again: "Do I need to change into protective clothing?" This should be a clean room. ”

Although he had already guessed that this woman might be weak, he didn't expect her to be so weak. Even if you don't see what the person lying on the hospital bed looks like, just looking at the various equipment in this room and the dozens of various tubes connected to the hospital bed, you can see that the woman lying on the bed is obviously seriously ill and has no strength to move.

The irritating dripping sound in the ward continued to echo, it sounded very rhythmic, Lin Chi stood at the door and waited for a while, and the woman lying on the hospital bed finally gave an answer:

"It's okay...... The exposed area has been disinfected and will not be infected ......"

Hearing this, Lin Chi strode forward, stood next to the hospital bed and looked at the "person" lying on the bed, and then was slightly surprised:

When she saw the other party's body, Lin Chi finally understood why she said "no need to disinfect".

Lying on the hospital bed was a humanoid wrapped in a white cloth, the outline under the sheet looked like only bones, the head was bandaged like a mummy, and the ribcage was directly opened, revealing a transparent glass shield and a terrifyingly shaped "artificial organ" underneath.

Unlike the artificial organs used in the real world, the artificial organs in the woman's chest cavity can be described as rudimentary to the point of horror: it should be the location of the lungs, equipped with a pump-like thing, and the heart is replaced by a large water pump, and the plastic "blood vessels" connected to the water pump are pressing blood into the body. Even the vertebrae were replaced with a steel tube.

"I'll ......"

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You are really strong enough......"

"It's weird......" A weak voice came from the speaker on the ceiling of the ward.

The woman's eyes were covered with a black cloth, her mouth was wrapped in bandages, and several tubes protruded from the machinery on both sides and connected to the position below the bandages on her face.

"I'm used to it......" she whispered.

As she used the speaker to make a sound, a line of red text slowly emerged next to her:

？？？ , Heroic NPCs (boss level), unrecruitable.

Although he had encountered all kinds of bosses in War Paradise, Lin Chi had encountered this kind of boss for the first time, and he asked curiously, "What disease do you have?" ”

Lin Chi didn't know why the boss was so weak in this space, but when he saw this scene, he was almost sure that this apartment, like the previous Doomsday Hotel, was also a completely virtual space!

After all, if it was the real nineties of the twentieth century, it would be impossible to develop this kind of black technology artificial organ. The fact that this device alone can sustain life is even more incredible than a "dream maker".

"I've been sick since I was born." The woman's voice recounted in a calm voice that sounded like she was telling someone else's story: "My father was a rich man, and at first he tried very hard to let me live a normal life, but then he also got tired of running around and spending a lot of money to treat me. ”

"So he threw you here?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

"I don't blame him, he has his own life, there is no need to waste time and energy on me. In addition, the equipment here is still functioning normally, and people will come to maintain it regularly. I have a good relationship with the residents here......"

The woman said slowly, and suddenly the words changed: "Thank you for allowing me to continue to breathe, but I still have a request, please be sure to listen." ”

"You want to find a way back to the 'real world'?" Lin Chi asked.

Since this space is also virtual, the woman's body in the "upper world" may be intact, and as long as she returns to the upper world, she can get out of her current state of suffering.

To Lin Chi's surprise, what the woman said was not what he was thinking, but another request:

"No, I'd like to ask you to turn off the device here for me. I've had enough and now I just want to die with dignity. ”
