Chapter 194: Central Hospital
If you really want to talk about it, the time when the ruins of this city were abandoned does not seem to be as exaggerated as tens or hundreds of years, otherwise the ruins of the entire city would not have maintained a rough outline, and they would have ceased to exist under the erosion of wind and sand.
Even the phone in the city can be used, which shows that the past here is not as simple as it seems.
It took the worm more than an hour to find the Central Hospital in the main city in the midst of a large and dilapidated area of buildings, which was relatively intact compared to other buildings.
Since the scale of the city itself is not too large, it is far from being a high-rise building with ten or twenty floors like an abandoned city, and the tallest building here is estimated to be only a dozen floors, and the so-called central hospital is actually a building with less than ten floors.
Standing outside the Central Hospital, where the walls had collapsed, the insect raised his foot and kicked an iron railing on the ground, which was supposed to be inserted into the wall for decoration.
"How does this building look like it's about to fall, are you sure you want to go in and have a look?"
The turtledove said that he would not come or not, and finally followed the insect's ass and shook his head, he really didn't worry about the worm walking around in the ruins alone, although he had not seen the rest of the life except for the two of them so far, but if something happened to the worm, the turtledove would not regret his death.
So you have to be by the side of the worm, that's exactly what the turtledove persuaded herself.
……
"What did the guy on the phone say?" Xiao Worm looked at the Central Hospital building not far away, and at the same time was talking to the turtledove, "Did the other party mention the elevator, okay, then let's go find the elevator in the Central Hospital." ”
The turtledove grabbed the little worm who was about to move forward, blocked in front of her, and asked the little worm solemnly: "Don't you think it's strange, why are there so many phones on the street that can be used, but the one next to us rings, how does the other party know where we are?" ”
"And," Turtledove continued, "we don't know each other's identities or their purposes at the moment, so how dare you come here when nothing is clear, and if this is a trap, aren't you throwing yourself into the net?" ”
"Let's talk about it, what's wrong with you this time, I used to be more reckless and impulsive among the two of us, you should be the cautious one, why are we switching roles now, why aren't you cautious at all?"
Turtledove Rory said a lot, in fact, it was not that he had been with the little worm for a long time, and he had to look forward to learning to do things like a little worm, but this time it was simply the turtle dove who was frightened by a series of "ghost signals", and he had to become cautious.
"When did you like to ask so many questions," the little worm seemed to know that turtledove would ask him that, "It's a good habit to look ahead and look backwards, but have you ever thought about the current situation of the two of us, and since we're all here, instead of standing there thinking nonsense, we might as well go into the tiger's den and find out." ”
"How could I not have known that there would be danger, but if you want to find the answers to so many of your previous questions, there is no other way than to find the person who called, if you can come up with another way, okay, let's do as you say."
"Okay, okay, it's not okay to listen to you."
The turtledove knew that he would never be able to fight the worm, and what the worm said was not wrong, and if they wanted to find the answer to all these questions, they really had to go step by step, unless they retreated and were willing to leave here without gain.
Obviously, neither the insect nor the turtledove likes to give up lightly.
"Remember to keep your eyes open later," the little worm wiped his nose indiscriminately, "I don't know what's wrong with this place, if there's anything wrong, let's slip away, after all, being careful is the only way to sail the ship of ten thousand years." ”
Tsai carefully checked the equipment on each of them, and the little worm carried an assault rifle on his back, a few magazines in the satchel on his waist, a holster on his left and right legs, and a pistol in each of them, and the turtledove's equipment was only a dagger more than ten centimeters long.
After making preparations, the turtledove and the little worm walked side by side towards the central hospital, which looked crumbling.
……
This place is really shabby.
There were scattered debris everywhere, and none of the tables, chairs and benches were complete, as if a carnival had just been opened, but this carnival was held many years ago, and after many years, it still could not be cleaned, and it was full of dust.
The dust is not too thick.
The turtledove scraped the floating ash on a wall next to him with his fingers, and under the dust, there was a very conspicuous stain of blood, especially since this wall was still painted with white paint before, and the blood was deeply soaked into this wall, and at a glance, you could imagine what it looked like when blood was sprinkled all over most of the walls.
"There's that too!"
Following the sound of the worm, the turtledove looked at her, and between that moment the worm was lying on the ground, and wiped away a large patch of dust in front of him, which was as large as the wall was.
On the wall, on the floor, on tables, chairs, benches...... The entire hall of the Central Hospital looked as if it had been washed in blood, and everywhere there were traces of blood hidden under the dust, but strangely, no matter how much the turtledove and the worm searched, not a single corpse could be found.
"What about the corpses?" The little worm glanced around suspiciously, "Why did you shed so much blood, but there was not a single corpse, could it be that the corpses here were taken away and eaten by wild beasts?" ”
There are no beasts here.
As early as when the turtle dove and the little insect first arrived at the ruins of this city, they found that this place was not even a beast, not even a fly or cockroach, and the ruins of a huge city were as quiet as a cemetery, and there was no trace of wild beast activity at all.
So why are these bodies gone?
The turtledove and the insect looked at each other, and after a pause, the worm's suggestion was that the hall on the first floor had been searched, otherwise the two of them would go upstairs to have a look, maybe there would be some gains.
"I don't think I'd better go," said Ikaruga honestly, "look at the walls, they're all full of cracks, and it won't be long before the whole building weighs the weight of the building, and I don't want to be buried alive." ”
"By the way," the turtledove raised his hand and pointed behind the little worm, "isn't that the elevator you're looking for, it looks like it's broken." ”
