Chapter 51: The Abandoned Clinic

The carriage pulled up on the road down the hill.

The groom in the metal mask admonished:

"When you're done, follow this road three kilometers east and you'll see me at the fork in the road.

If it takes more than a week, you'll need to walk back to Zion. ”

"Got it."

Looking up at this small hill that depends on the city of Vernal,

If it is placed in the world before Yi Chen's death, it will inevitably be developed into a scenic spot, a cable car on the hour, some entertainment projects, and even a temple on the top of the mountain.

However, there are no lifts or cable cars, and even stone stairs are not paved.

The four of them can only step on the steep mountain road and hold on to the trees to experience the most primitive mountaineering fun.

On the way to the mountain, Yi Chen also gnawed a few bites of tree bark by the way, and then felt the situation between the hills by touching the plants.

Nothing happened along the way, not to mention danger, not even a single critter was seen.

Deathly silence.

Climbing the last little hillside, through the gaps between the trees,

A wall made of large rough stones, the front door of the clinic made of black steel gradually emerged.

There is a gargoyle sculpture on the wall, similar in style to the gargoyles of Zion.

It's just that most of them are full of cracks and chips, or even completely shattered, and have lost their proper function.

"It's finally ......"

Edmund stretched,

The seemingly casual movements are actually adjusting the order of the squad.

Dagbert, who was carrying a giant sword on his back, immediately walked to the front,

Edmund and Juliana sit side by side in a solid triangle position

It's all part of their habitual behavior.

Edmund glanced at his new teammates, "William, your visual senses are better than all of us, and in the early exploration stage, you were next to Dagbert, right?" ”

"Okay."

And the four came to the gate,

Dagebert stretched out his stout arm emblazoned with "Muscle Emblem",

The fully unfolded palm falls on the surface of the iron door,

The center of gravity sinks,

Feet on the ground,

Shaking the gear structure between the door bodies with brute force and forcibly pushing it.

Dagbert's profession, [Lux], is selected from the Blue Letter.

Characteristics - "Muscle Development"

To further activate the individual's muscle potential, optimize and rearrange the muscle cells, the upper limit of the standard of [Physique] is increased, and the seventh standard - "7. Beyond" appears.

Allows the individual to break through with a physical state that exceeds the limits in order to reach a higher level.

……

Yi Chen, who was the closest, could clearly see that when Dagbert pushed the iron door, the muscle stripes that moved regularly between his arms gave him infinite power like rolling waves.

"What a strong body!

The increase brought by [Profession] is really terrifying~ If I had chosen the Blue Letter at the beginning, I might have been able to control all kinds of plants in the mountains, and even 'turn roots into spears' like living corpses, and my combat effectiveness would have been greatly improved."

However, Yi Chen just thought about it casually, and if he was asked to choose again, he would still choose the purple letter.

Step through the door.

The three-storey horizontal row of main buildings comes into view.

The front yard has been razed, and there are still plenty of footprints of the recovery team.

The doors and windows of the main building are almost broken,

There are some cracks in the walls,

However, the building still maintains its integrity and has a solid foundation.

The whole looks like an old hospital that has been abandoned by the times.

Follow the main stone road until you reach the entrance of the main building of the clinic.

A metal sign of "Dusk-Clinlc" hangs vertically on the side of the front door.

Edmund gives instructions for action at this point:

"The first day of exploration doesn't need to be too detailed, it is mainly about understanding the structure of the clinic and finding out the potential dangers...... Don't go it alone, and act in a squad the whole time. ”

"Hmm."

Turn on the kerosene lamps and walk into the abandoned twilight clinic.

【1st Floor Lobby】

Upon entering, a large frame of Dr. Mycroft was seen falling to the ground, and the area above the mouth was completely burned.

The counter on the side of the door was also in tatters, all drawers were open, and all kinds of discarded documents were scattered all over the floor.

Directly opposite the entrance, there is a lift that leads to the second and third floors, and the iron lift compartment has been badly deformed, as if there had been a fierce fight inside, and it has long been inoperable.

Other than that

It can be seen from the electrical equipment such as elevators and wall lamps that the clinic used to rely on electricity.

Due to the lack of electricity, the passage leading to the left and right sides of the hall is pitch black and there is no end in sight.

"Let's start on the right."

After some exploration, although the abandoned clinic was extremely gloomy, there was no danger in the whole process, and even the vision of the little grape did not find anything strange.

Simple three-storey hospital structure.

In addition to the elevator in the hall, there are also stairways at the ends of the left and right sides.

The first floor is the most conventional treatment area.

Gentlemen who are normally injured or infected with a superficial layer will receive quick treatment here...... If you want to buy some potions or even secret medicines, you can also trade them secretly.

On the left side of the second floor is the inpatient department, and on the right side is the operating room.

It is specially aimed at some gentlemen whose injuries are serious and may be in danger of their lives at any time.

There is also a set of professional evaluation criteria, if the injury exceeds a certain limit, the degree of morbidity reaches a certain standard, the doctor refuses treatment, and even executes early.

Some self-aware and hopeless gentlemen may also come here to seek 'euthanasia' and contribute their sick bodies to the clinic as research materials.

On the third floor of the clinic is a rest area for apprentices on the left, and on the right is a warehouse for utensils, medicines and sundries.

But

Everyone also found a problem, the entire main building does not have a single area related to secret medicine.

"In the back?"

When exiting through the front door of the main building and going around the backyard against the fence.

You'll find an all-metal sealed tower towering deep in the backyard, almost clinging to the edge of the hill.

On the way to the tower, you can see a large number of warning signs embedded in the ground, all of which are in different languages.

[Dangerous areas, outsiders are not allowed to approach]

[The clinic is important, and those who are close will be held accountable]

[Those who enter the building without permission will be directly terminated by the doctor's owner]

"Is this building where the secret medicine is made?"

The main entrance to the tower has been completely destroyed by the recovery team,

When the crowd passed through a cold and dark stone passage,

Inside the tower, a rather harsh area emerges from the main building of the clinic.

【Material Refining Area】

Even if two months have passed,

There was still a strong smell of blood in the air,

The light from the kerosene lamp reflected a large amount of blood and liquid, and it reflected a crimson scene.

Even though most of the refining utensils have been completely destroyed, only a few remnants remain.

Yi Chen was still able to restore the extremely cruel and chilling [Torture Execution Ground] in his mind.

The reason why it is so sensitive and has a very high degree of restoration is because of Yi Chen's special training in the past six months.

Mr. Zede's 'paradise' left an impression on him that once it involves torture, pain and other factors, he will be the first to notice and have not very good memories.

Other than that

There is also an adjoining circular staircase on the side wall that leads to the Secret Medicine Processing Area on the upper floor, as well as Dr. Mycroft's office.

Stay here for a long time,

Yi Chen could even imagine some of the pain and thrills of the past, a large number of sick people were suffering from the severe pain of dying here, which made him quite puzzled,

Why is it so cruel to the sick?

Isn't it possible to directly extract and strip the materials needed?

Is it necessary to use these near-lethal means to 'force' the necessary materials out of the patient's body? …… How is the so-called "twilight silver liquid" made? ”
