Chapter 4 Desperate Situation
It was a low, cramped horizontal shaft, flanked by pipes of varying thickness, and he mechanically moved his limbs forward to crawl forward, not knowing how long he had been climbing. From time to time, a big fleshy rat would come upon him, and he would ignore it completely. Crawling and crawling, he touched some scattered bricks and cement blocks. He stopped and searched around in the darkness, finding a hole in the roof of the shaft that could be passed through by one person. He took a breath and slipped into the hole, entering a tunnel that sloped downward. The space of the tunnel is large enough for him to walk upright, the two walls of the tunnel are made of large stones, cement caulking, extremely regular, he slowly walks forward with his hands on the wall, and he feels as if there is a mist floating in his face.
Suddenly, he stepped into the air, and the whole person fell downward, and in an instant the biting cold soaked his whole body, and he fell into the water. He flailed his arms and stood up, waist-deep water. It may be that rainwater has been infiltrated for many years and cannot be discharged, and it is accumulated. The sound of water evokes echoes, and it seems to be a huge space. With no fingers in sight, he waded through the water and groped in one direction. The temperature in the water was close to freezing, which made Mimeng miss the feeling of being scorched by the fire before. A dazzling white light suddenly appeared, shining directly at him. He plunged into the water and dived quickly in the direction where the white light came from.
Hidden underwater, a sense of fear enveloped him from all sides, and he couldn't swim at all, so he instinctively moved to struggle. Unexpectedly, this actually affected his movements and breath, and he almost choked on the water as soon as the water splashed. When he poked his head out of the water, the white light disappeared and darkness all around him. He took a few shallow breaths to adjust, then he floated on his back on the water, his arms alternating in very light, slow movements, until he touched the steps in front of him, and he had reached the edge of the waterlogged area. He didn't venture in, but crouched underwater, only half of his head bared and listened intently to the movements around him. Not far above the stairs there was a sound of a sneer, but he remained unmoved.
Time passed minute by minute, the other party lost patience, the white light flashed, and the flashlight lit up, but the owner of the flashlight was still hidden in the dark and could not be seen! Suddenly, the beam of the flashlight shook violently, and a big face as white as paper and flesh broke into the light and shadow. Then, the flashlight flew out of his hand, fell into the water, and went out in two flashes! There was a heavy wheezing and scuffling sound in the darkness, and soon everything was settled. There was a sweet smell wafting through the air, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose. A series of chaotic footsteps sounded ahead, fading away.
He jumped out of the water and chased after him. The man in front of him was very familiar with the environment here, and his speed did not decrease in the absolute darkness at all, and he lost his goal. Continuing forward, Mi Meng felt a breeze blowing from above......
Forcefully removing a manhole cover, he climbed out of the heat well outside the dormitory building. Rescuers arrived, gave him oxygen, put him on a stretcher, and sent him to the emergency department. Tiredness struck, and Mi Meng fell asleep......
It was pitch black all around, only a little light in the distance, and Mi Meng walked towards the light. As the distance gradually approached, Mi Meng saw that there was a mass of arms under the light, a mass of arms, countless arms of all sizes, constantly dancing. Mi Meng was so frightened that he turned his head and ran, running lifelessly, until he was out of breath and could no longer move his legs. Qi Meng looked back, and at first glance, he was even more shocked. The arm was behind him, and he was just a millimeter away from grabbing his back! Mi Meng collapsed to the ground, unable to escape anymore, so he had to resign himself to fate. In the middle of this arm, there is also a person wrapped in it. Several pale hands grabbed the man's head together, forcibly ripped the head off the body, passed it to each other, and handed it to Mi Meng. Only then did Mi Meng notice that the appearance of the human head was exactly the same as his own, and it was another self. The man's eyes snapped open......
Qi Mengteng sat up suddenly, sweating and frightened. At this time, Mi Meng had been sent to the treatment room of the emergency department, and there was a slightly wealthy female doctor in her forties standing beside her. The female doctor stared at Mi Meng coldly and did not say anything, until he calmed down, and then continued to treat his wounds. The female doctor, surnamed An, is the head of the emergency department. Mi Meng was covered with injuries, but it was only some skin trauma, and the dehydration symptoms were also relieved after the infusion, and there was no major problem overall! Director An has a lot of experience, but he is a little heavy, and during the treatment, he grinned at the pain of Mi Meng, but Director An ignored it at all and focused on the work at hand.
People like Director An can be summed up in one word, that is, "indifference"! She does not necessarily have low emotional intelligence, and her profession as a doctor requires her to be rational about her work, and to treat patients who are enduring illness or even facing death. In the long run, she will have no energy and desire to sympathize with everyone around her, but this does not mean that her professional level is not high enough, nor does it mean that her character is not noble, but her heart has become hard! The more regular the hospital, the more the doctor is like this, you don't have to think that people have a bad attitude, such a doctor is the most reassuring, people don't have other messy ideas, and they are overly enthusiastic - but more careful.
Director An took care of the wounds on Mi Meng's body and took the nurse out of the treatment room. He Ning, who had been waiting outside the door, pushed the door in, and behind her, there was Director Liu from the hospital office. He Ning winked at Mi Meng and did not speak, obviously scruples about the presence of Director Liu. At this time, Director Liu was no longer arrogant, standing in the room, taking off his glasses and wiping his head and wiping them again, cheeky, a little bit of He Ning would follow him wherever he went.
He Ning smiled, she understood Director Liu's careful thinking, there was such a big incident in the hospital, and Director Liu wanted to try to reduce some losses in public opinion. It's best not to mention certain sensitive topics in your reporting.
The hospital transplanted the old locust tree this time, which prevented the fire truck from reaching the fire scene in time, and damaged the water supply pipe of the automatic fire extinguishing device. And there are rumors that there have been some supernatural events around this old locust tree, and the hospital is most afraid that someone will associate the transplanting of the old locust tree with feudal superstition.
"Director Liu, the situation of the fire itself can only be subject to the investigation results of the relevant departments, and no one can do anything about this. As for the rest - or not! Please give me a document within 30 minutes! This material is out of the hospital, and it should be more accurate to grasp it in a measured manner, right? However, the principle cannot be lost, and we must seek truth from facts! As a journalist, she knows that the key to dealing with these units with connections and resources is to grasp the proportions. If you grasp the proportion well, everyone will be happy, and if you don't grasp it well, whether it is the truth or not, you will offend others. It is certain that the hospital is already communicating with the leaders of Taili at this time!
The rumored supernatural events that have happened recently are mainly like this:
On the second floor of this dormitory building is the reference room, which preserves old materials and archives from various periods since the establishment of the hospital, all of which are paper texts. Hu Xiaoling, a 27-year-old female archivist at the hospital, often comes to access these materials. Since there is no bathroom on the second floor, Hu Xiaoling has to go to the first floor when he goes to the bathroom. Hu Xiaoling has a good family background, a high education, and a princess habit, and every time she goes to the toilet, she has to complain that it is dirty here and messy there.
One day not long ago, Hu Xiaoling came down from the second floor, first walked around the bathroom on the first floor, and then walked out of the dormitory building, walked to the old locust tree, and unbuttoned his pants and squatted down in full view of everyone, and peed. Since then, Hu Xiaoling has resigned! Later, someone confirmed that just the day before this incident, Hu Xiaoling privately found someone to cut down a few branches of the old locust tree, because the old locust tree covered the window of the data room on the second floor, and the sunlight could not shine in.
"Thank you to Reporter He for being able to understand the difficulties in the hospital...... In the future, we will cooperate well with each other! I'm going to report to the hospital leaders! Director Liu was very satisfied with this result, and said a lot of polite words before leaving, and He Ning also politely sent Director Liu to the door.
When Mi Meng woke up, his head was still chaotic, and everything he watched was like a TV screen across the layer, and he felt that he was not in the same time and space as himself. Fortunately, his hands and feet are at his disposal, which makes Mi Meng feel a lot more at ease.
Seeing He Ning but not Du Xiaoyue, thinking that Du Xiaoyue fainted in Nurse Lu's dormitory, Mi Meng asked in a hoarse voice, "How is Xiaoyue?" ā
"Don't say it, you really have a good conscience! Xiao Yue is fine, let the cigarette choke a little, just let the two farts go! It's Xiao Yue who asked me to keep an eye on your news here. Even if Du Xiaoyue was not there, He Ning did not miss the opportunity to ridicule her.
"Where's she?" Mi Meng wanted to find Du Xiaoyue and ask, what did she see in Nurse Lu's dormitory? What happened in the dormitory wasn't your own dream, right?
"She's going to play with herself! Oh, congratulations, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future! He Ning obviously didn't tell the truth, and then diverted the topic.
Mi Meng smiled reluctantly.
"Tell me quickly, how did you escape such a big fire?" Looking at He Ning's eyes, she expected Mi Meng to tell a thrilling story.
"Climb all the way from the pipe well, climb out!" In just one sentence, Mi Meng summed up his entire escape experience, and it didn't sound exciting at all.
"Crawl - it's not unusual to be able to climb out! At that time, someone said that you entered the dormitory building again, and Xiaoyue didn't believe it! Did you find that there were still people trapped in the building? He Ning still hopes that Mi Meng's behavior can rise to heroic acts such as sacrificing herself to save others, so that she can write an article full of positive energy.
"IāI seem to see another person...... Or maybe it's a mistake! After He Ning's reminder, Mi Meng remembered the charred corpse in the fire, and his heart twitched violently.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, I won't force you! In fact, I can also see that you are really like what Xiao Yue said, you look honest, you can scare people at critical moments, and the most important thing is that you can still hold back and not show off! In her words, it belongs to the kind of thing that is hidden, uncertainties that can have an impact on the final outcome! Let's not talk about this, you don't know, there are a lot of things in the hospital that haven't been there for half a day. There's a fire over there, and there's a prisoner running away here! Now I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die......" chatted for a while, and He Ning went to work with her business!
