Chapter 13: The World of the Outside and the Inside
Through the black mist, a biting chill came from all sides, and Ji Xiu couldn't help but shiver.
The scene in front of him almost made him think he was on the wrong set, the walls of the otherwise clean hospital building were crawling with black sarcomas, beating slowly as if they were alive, and the secreted black lines spread like cobwebs, connecting with each other.
There were a lot of cracks in the ground beneath his feet, as if he had been corroded for a long time and was in a dilapidated state.
The once bright world has turned into an eerie dark green.
One step away, it's like entering another world.
In the world?
The scene in front of him reminded Ji Xiu of the concept of a mirror world between the surface world and the inner world that is often used in games, movies and television on the earth.
The surface world is a normal world, and the inner world is full of monsters.
At this point, he had two options.
Evacuate, and then wait for the intervention of the Yujing Law Enforcement Department, or the Yujing Military Department.
But when they will arrive is completely unknown, and Li Mumu may encounter danger at any time.
Moving on, he is likely to be eaten by monsters in the black mist.
How to choose, Ji Xiu has already made a decision in his heart.
This one is gone!
Looking at the hospital hall that had been shrouded in black fog, although he was panicked in his heart, he still chose to continue to go deeper.
When he came to the gate of the hospital, Ji Xiu just wanted to walk in, but a vague figure suddenly appeared in the black fog and rushed straight towards him.
"Mommy."
Ji Xiu was frightened and immediately took a big step back.
When the figure passed through the black mist, Ji Xiu realized that the other party was actually a white-haired old man wearing a doctor's uniform, not a monster in the brain.
I saw the old man's frightened expression, and when he saw that he wanted to enter the hospital, he decisively stepped forward and grabbed his hand, wanting to run out with him:
"Don't go in, there's monsters inside."
"Huaxia Dragon Group, specializing in killing demons, this is just a small scene for me, you go first, I'm going to kill it."
As he spoke, Ji Xiu dragged back his right hand, and after forcibly pretending to be forced, he didn't wait for the white-haired doctor to respond, and burrowed into the black mist without looking back.
Through the black fog that blocks the view, the image presented in front of you is like a scene from a horror movie.
In the center of the hospital hall, a huge black sarcoma was beating slowly, and the ceiling was printed with a strange relief made of bones of unknown creatures, like the hell of Shura.
Eyes swept not far away, three bodies rotted, armless twisted monsters staggered along, cracked corners of their mouths sliding black viscous liquid.
Without hesitation, Ji Xiu decisively took a step and ran in the direction of the inpatient department.
Walk through the hall where the giant sarcoma is located and come to the corridor of the inpatient department, only to see three twisted monsters lying in the corridor.
Already ready to send away the head, Ji Xiu did not retreat, and ran straight towards the three twisted monsters.
Finding Ji Xiu approaching, the body of the twisted monster trembled, and the chest cavity cracked, and a gray tentacle with spiral lines stretched out and rolled towards him.
Fortunately, the movement of the twisted monster was slow, and it was not a threat, and Ji Xiu dodged it in a thrilling way.
I have to say that Li Tan's physical fitness is excellent, if he uses Han Yun's body now, he will most likely be swept up in his body by tentacles.
Walk through the corridor gate and you will find the inpatient department opposite.
The trees planted in the nearby flower beds were also mutated, and the trunks writhed and waved branches towards him, grazing Ji Xiu's scalp and smashing them on the beams behind him.
Entering the inpatient building, Ji Xiu found that the elevator door was covered with rust and was no longer usable.
He had to turn around and enter the safe passage, and ran across the stairs towards the 6th floor where Li Mumu was.
Unfortunately, he had only gone a few steps before he encountered a twisted monster.
I wanted to take advantage of my agility to pass past the twisted monster, but I was caught by the tentacles protruding from the monster's chest, and my body suddenly staggered forward.
Fortunately, he used his hands to support the fallen upper body in time.
Faced with the threat from the monster, Ji Xiu turned around decisively, grabbed the tentacle wrapped around his ankle and exerted his force violently, trying to tear the tentacle off.
But the monster's tentacles are tenacious, and they can't be torn off when they are pulled and lengthened.
The twisted monster's chest cracked open at this moment, and the white ribs of the forest were like two rows of blades, pouring towards his head, followed by an indescribable rancid stench.
If he was pounced on this time, his head would inevitably be plucked off by the monster's closed chest.
Ji Xiu threw his head to the side, and the attack of the twisted monster suddenly hit the stairs.
After a short contact, Ji Xiu found that the monster's weakness was very obvious.
Although the monster looks bluffing, it is very slow, and it is easy to dodge its attacks if you observe it calmly.
Taking advantage of the gap between the monster's getting up, Ji Xiu clenched his fist and smashed it on the monster's head, and after several punches in a row, his right hand was stained with black viscous liquid.
A second wave of monsters followed.
Ji Xiu easily dodged again.
The battle with the twisted monster gave Ji Xiu the feeling that he was playing a soul game before crossing over, as long as he was familiar with the monster's attack rhythm, it would be difficult for the monster to pose a threat to him.
The difference is that at the time he was controlling the game character to fight monsters, now he is experiencing it himself.
The similarity is that if he fails, he can read the file and start again.
The disadvantage is that he can't save halfway, he only has an initial gear, and if he fails, everything starts from scratch.
Adapting to the rhythm of the twisted monster's attack, every time the twisted monster's body was pressed, Ji Xiu decisively twisted his body to dodge, and then picked up the sandbag punch that had been trained by carrying seafood for many years, and hit the monster's head with three heavy blows.
After three hits, the attack goes on cooldown, and the next step is to dodge, and then repeat the punch.
With his unremitting efforts, the monster's soft head was deflated, and all the black viscous liquid inside flowed out, and the rotting body collapsed to the ground as if it had lost power, and the tentacles wrapped around Ji Xiu's ankle also loosened.
Breaking free from the restraints, Ji Xiu decisively got up and ran upstairs.
3rd and 4th floors...... 6th floor.
Coming to the floor where Li Mumu was hospitalized, Ji Xiu walked through the security door and went straight to room 8 where Li Mumu was.
Pushing open the door, I saw Li Mumu curled up in the corner, her face full of tears.
Closing the door, Ji Xiu came to Li Mumu and squatted down.
"Daddy!"
Seeing Ji Xiu, Li Mumu's suppressed emotions exploded, and he threw himself into his arms, crying loudly.
Rubbing Li Mumu's head, Ji Xiu immediately comforted him, and glanced at the door.
He distinctly heard the cracking of bones and swallowing from the next room, and danger could come at any moment.
"Mu Mu, dad is here, don't cry."
Rubbing Li Mumu's head, Ji Xiu comforted softly, Li Mumu was also very sensible, realizing that his cry might attract monsters, he immediately closed his mouth, but his red eyes still couldn't stop sliding tears.
Holding Li Mumu to the door, he reached out to lock the door, and Ji Xiu sat against the wall with Li Mumu in his arms.
It's all monsters out there, and he now has two options.
Take Li Mumu out of the siege, or stay here and wait for the rescue force to arrive.
Compared to handing over his life to others, Ji Xiu is more willing to believe in himself.
It was never his character to sit still, not to mention that the floor he was on was not safe, with monsters in many rooms.
Scanning the ward, Ji Xiu saw the fruit knife placed on the bedside table.
Holding Li Mumu and getting up, he came to the bedside table, grabbed the fruit knife in his hand, and then used the fruit knife to cut the quilt into strips of cloth and tie Li Mumu to his chest.
But after thinking about it, Ji Xiu felt that something was wrong, and doing so had a feeling of using Li Mumu as a cuirass shield, so he untied the tightly tied cloth strips and tied Li Mumu to his back in a different position.
After tightening the strip of cloth, Ji Xiu reached out and held the fruit knife in his mouth in his right hand.
Glancing out through the glass window of the door to make sure there were no monsters blocking the way outside, he slowly pushed the door open, and then slammed towards the safety exit.
"Mu Mu is not afraid, Dad will take you out."
Afraid that the bumps would scare Li Mumu, Ji Xiu, who was running, made a voice to reassure.
"Mu Mu is not afraid."
Ji Xiu had never brought a baby before the crossing, so he could only comfort Li Mumu's emotions in a way that he thought was feasible.
The first floor came to the third floor, and the next floor was the floor where the corpses of the twisted monsters he killed were located.
Ji Xiu immediately reminded him:
"Mu Mu, close your eyes and wait for Dad to let you open them."
"Hmm."
Turning his head to look at Li Mumu, he found that she had closed her eyes, Ji Xiu continued to walk downstairs along the stairs, stepping over the twisted monster body and heading straight to the first floor.
Leaving from the security door, Ji Xiu glanced at the twisted trees in the flower beds on both sides of the corridor outside the building, took a deep breath and suddenly accelerated his pace.
This time, he still brushed against the branch smashed by the tree monster at a very thrilling angle and entered the corridor of the main building of the hospital.
The three twisted monsters were still crawling in the middle of the aisle as a roadblock, Ji Xiu did not stop, and sprinted in the direction of the hospital hall.
The monsters moved slowly, and by the time they wanted to stretch out their tentacles to wrap around Ji Xiu, Ji Xiu had already jumped over their heads.
When Ji Xiu walked through the corridor to the hall, the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded.
The level of corruption in the hospital hall intensified, at this time it was like a spider's nest, countless sarcomas hung from the ceiling, and the outstretched pitch-black tentacles were entangled with each other, crisscrossing and enveloping the entire hall, and countless twisted monsters were lying on the tentacles, their bodies connected to the tentacles, hanging upside down like bats.
The tentacles of these sarcomas are connected to the giant sarcoma in the center of the hall, and the fluid in the tentacles is flowing, continuously transporting to the giant sarcoma.
The huge sarcoma was beating like a heart under the perfusion of liquid, and with each beat, a red light appeared inside, and a dark distorted figure loomed in the flickering light, as if some kind of evil life was being born inside.
There is no road ahead to move on, and three twisted monsters are approaching behind.
Ji Xiu gritted his teeth and prepared to turn back.
The gap between the dense tentacles like a spider's web is very small, and it is very difficult to advance through the criss-crossing tentacles, and more importantly, there are a large number of twisted monsters entrenched in the hall.
There is no difference between forcibly breaking out and sending them to death.
It didn't matter if he sent it himself, but thinking that there was Li Mumu on his back, Ji Xiu immediately decided to turn back.
Hold your hand steady.
But at this moment, Ji Xiu suddenly heard a clear heartbeat coming from his side.
Turning his head sharply to look at the huge sarcoma in the center of the hall, he saw that the huge sarcoma slowly cracked, and a hideous monster in the form of a humanoid appeared surrounded by blood-colored tentacles, and at this time he looked directly at him with scarlet eyes.
"Look at your uncle!"
scolded angrily, Ji Xiu turned around decisively.
Running away after scolding, it's really exciting.
