Bloody Hospital (5): Cooperation
Fortunately, another person appeared in the corridor on the other side of the stairs. He was a tall and strong man. He held two large iron hammers in his hands and faced the other gray-white phantom. At least he managed to delay the other phantom and prevented the bald boy from being besieged.
After several attempts, the burly man found that the big hammer could not do anything to the gray-white phantom, and the laser gun didn’t work either. Finally, he had to take out a slender mahogany sword.
Although the slender peach wood sword looked more like a toy sword in the hand of the burly man, it could cause considerable damage to the gray-white phantom.
The actions of the two men showed that ordinary physical attacks were of limited effectiveness against the gray-white phantom.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruize got up from the bed and walked to the door of the ward. He grasped the door handle and opened the door with force. Then he saw two gray-white phantoms floating in from the window at the end of the corridor. one found that the door of the ward where Xia Ruize was was open, so it rushed over immediately.
“ah!!!”
A terrible scream came from behind. Surprisingly, Li Hai, who should have been still in a coma, woke up. He was looking at the gray-white phantom blocking the door of the ward in panic, with his hands tightly covering his heart, obviously frightened.
“Ghost!!!”
Li Hai’s shrill scream made the gray-white phantom very excited. It shook twice visibly and immediately wanted to rush into the door.
Unfortunately, it was Xia Ruize who stood in the way.
Xia Ruize once completed a hidden extended mission in the Ping’An City mission world and obtained the yellow low-grade skill [Eye of Wisdom]. Not only could it see spirits that ordinary people cannot see, it was also an attack skill.
Now the gray-white phantom was visible to everyone, which was a good time to try out the attack effect of the skill.
Xia Ruize opened the Eye of Wisdom, which he had never had the chance to use before. A circle of gold lit up around his pupils, making him look weird and mysterious.
The gaze that fell on the gray-white phantom ignited a small golden flame. Although the flame was only the size of a finger, looking cute and weak, it was actually overbearing and quickly spread across the entire phantom. The gray-white phantom that blocked the corridor disappeared silently in an instant.
After the phantom disappeared, an exquisite silver treasure chest quietly floated where the gray-white phantom had been.
Xia Ruize couldn’t help but smile. He was a professional when it came to touching treasure chests.
[Open the silver treasure chest: Get the White phantom Fragment]
Xia Ruize opened the treasure chest using telekinesis, revealing a handful of small crystal fragments that were shining with a soft white light.
The note for the small broken crystals was simple:
[White phantom Fragments: Can be fused into new White phantom]
It turns out that these white phantoms were called White phantoms, and the treasure chests that dropped when they were killed provide fragments that could be fused into new White phantoms?
Xia Ruize found it very interesting. He was looking forward to seeing the scene where the fused white phantom obeyed his command and fought with the original white phantom.
Li Hai couldn’t see the treasure chest, but he could see the gray-white phantom suddenly disappear, so his screams stopped abruptly. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking that he was dazzled by sleep.
But the reality was so cruel that it broke one’s heart. At this moment, another white phantom floated over from the side and blocked the door of the ward tightly, causing Li Hai’s heart, which had just resumed beating, to stop suddenly.
A White phantom blocked the door of the ward, but he couldn’t stop Xia Ruize’s investigation. He knew clearly that white phantom was floating in from the windows on both sides of the corridor again.
Unexpectedly, the loud noise in the corridor woke up the patients in the wards on both sides of the corridor. Some of the brave patients secretly opened the door of the ward to see what was going on outside.
As to why the patient who took sleeping pills could wake up so easily and why the locked ward door could be opened so easily, no one cared to investigate.
Anyway, the consequences of the ward door being opened were clearly demonstrated in the ward where the bald boy was.
The white phantom squeezed into the ward through the broken door and pounced on the bed like a hungry tiger, wrapping the patient on the bed. Then white phantom’s grayish-white, translucent body gradually turned into light red.
When the reddish phantom moved away, only a lifeless body was left on the bed, pale and thin, with all its vitality and energy drained away.
The light red phantom turned to another patient who was shivering in a corner and crying for help at the top of his lungs. When he left again, the red on his body had become a little darker.
The bald boy didn’t care about the situation in the ward behind him at all. He continued to attack again and again, constantly weakening the white phantom’s size.
“Save people first.”
Xia Ruize frowned, realizing that if the stalemate continued, more and more patients would be harmed, so he took the initiative to walk out of the ward, his eyes with golden flames constantly falling on the surrounding white phantoms.
Cheng Huaiqian’s magic energy could be used for physical attacks as well as spiritual attacks. It was flexible and practical. He immediately followed up and fought side by side with Xia Ruize.
Gao Hexuan was a little more troublesome, but he had prepared a special talisman. After sticking it on himself, the code attacks he sent out would also have an effect on spirits.
In the endless world, you may encounter various types of mission worlds, so trialers with extra survival points would consciously replenish the key items needed for various types of worlds.
Ever since he started following the two big guys, Gao Hexuan had experienced the joy of being carried. He had plenty of survival points in his hands, and he had equipped himself fully step by step. Now he did not panic when encountering spirits.
The one who was really panicked was Li Hai. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a ghost. Before he could calm down, he saw that all the patients in the same room had left.
Li Hai saw with his own eyes that Xia Ruize killed two ghosts, so he followed closely behind Xia Ruize. If he was not afraid of delaying his fellow patient Xia’s power, he would have wanted to hug him. He didn’t even notice that Cheng Huaiqian glared at him.
Xia Ruize first went to rescue those wards whose doors were open but people were not killed yet, and soon a string of surviving patients followed him.
For a moment, the corridor became a battlefield for the battle between the five trialers and the White phantoms. The five people gradually approached and finally gathered at the middle staircase because they found that the White phantoms seemed to be endless. After killing one, two more rushed over. As a result, after fighting for half a day, the number of White phantoms in the corridor not only did not decrease but increased.
The five of them stood in a circle with their backs to each other, each fighting against the White phantoms. Surrounded in the middle were the thirteen surviving patients.
After more than 20 minutes, eight wards were opened, but only 13 people survived. On the contrary, all the people in the twelve wards that were not opened were still alive.
However, the white phantoms continued to bang on the tightly closed ward doors, but no one knew when they would open.
“You will die of exhaustion if you continue like this. You should think of other solutions as soon as possible.”
A lazy and elegant voice sounded, and the door of a ward next to the staircase was opened, and a young woman appeared at the door.
She was wearing a burgundy silk suspender pajamas, with her big chestnut wavy hair casually draped over her fair shoulders. She leaned against the door frame, offering the most beautiful view of the battle scene.
She held an exquisite ladies’ cigarette in her hand, and white smoke rose up, blocking the door of the ward, preventing the white phantoms from approaching the ward.
“I have a prop that can temporarily block these annoying things. Why don’t we let ordinary people stay here and I’ll use the prop to protect them. Then we can go check where these weird things come from?”
The young woman, with a smile on her face, proposed cooperation to the five fighting men.
The burly man was the first to express his agreement.
He didn’t feel the satisfaction of hitting the white phantom’s bodies with his punches, and the counterattacks made him suffer from unbearable headaches. He was too impatient to continue the fight.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other, exchanged opinions tacitly, and expressed their willingness to cooperate.
The bald boy didn’t want to be alone so he had to agree, and the six of them reached an agreement to cooperate temporarily.
The patients hiding in the protection circle of several people heard that they were leaving and wanted them to stay. A fat middle-aged man said anxiously:
“Don’t go, don’t go! I have money, I’ll give you money! As long as you stay and protect me, I’ll give you any amount of money!”
Once someone took the lead, the other patients who were huddled together and shivering quickly said that they could also pay, fearing that they would be abandoned if they spoke too late.
Encountering a ghost was simply the most terrifying nightmare. They were so scared that they just wanted to stay here for a while longer. Even if these talented people could find the source and completely solve the problem, they didn’t want to let them go now.
The young woman smiled as beautifully as a flower. She stretched out her delicate hands to grab the corners of the clothes of those patients who did not want to be left behind. With a gentle tug, she dragged the patients into the ward behind her.
After stuffing everyone into the ward, the young woman trembled slightly on the cigarette in her hand, and scattered ashes fell on the floor at the door. A few strands of white smoke swirled upwards, blocking the patients who wanted to rush out, and also blocking the white phantoms who wanted to rush in.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were just not used to seeing so many people die in front of them, so they saved whoever they could.
Now that they knew the people were safe, the two had no intention of staying to serve as bodyguards.
The other four did the same, and ignoring the patients’ pleas and even curses in the ward, the six of them walked downstairs together.
The situation on the third floor was completely different, as there were no humans in the corridor. One could only see dozens of white phantoms blocking the doors of each ward, banging on them continuously.
Some of the doors had been kicked open, and the patients inside were gone, but other doors were still closed.
The white phantoms, who had been trying in vain, soon discovered the six people appearing at the staircase entrance and changed direction and rushed over.
The six people did not stop at all and continued to run downstairs.
Having lost their target, the white phantoms did not continue chasing. After wandering around the corridor twice in a daze, they returned to the door of the ward and continued to ram it.
The six-member team rushed out of the hospital building in one go, and then gasped in shock at the scene before them.
Under the bright yellow moonlight, the large garden was filled with countless gray phantoms, all floating aimlessly.
“Damn! Are there still only a few people entering the corridor?” The burly man cursed angrily, thinking that this was a very unfortunate choice of route.
“Be careful, there are still a lot of red ones in there, they have eaten humans.”
Xia Ruize’s mental power had already detected an even worse scene, and he quickly gave a warning.
The faces of the three new teammates changed. They had encountered blood-red phantoms before. Compared with white phantoms, blood phantoms were more difficult to deal with.
When they were fighting, one could hear sharp and piercing sounds that made people dizzy and unsteady on their feet. In the end, the burly man and the bald boy joined forces to kill the Blood phantom that was attacking them.
It was precisely because they did not want more white phantoms to turn into blood phantoms that the two were willing to cooperate with Xia Ruize and Gao Hexuan to rescue ordinary patients.
As for the young woman, although she had never fought in person before, it did not mean that she did not know the actual situation.
At this time, she was holding a cat with a black back and white hooves in her arms. The cat was frightened so much that its back was arched high, and the hair on its body was blown up, even its tail was blown into a feather duster, and it was making low, threatening sounds towards the direction of the garden.
“I suggest going to the administration building.”
Xia Ruize looked around and quickly suggested.
In fact, there was nowhere good to go. The inpatient building was full of wards, and the doctors’ computer backgrounds and documents were nothing to see.
The garden was occupied by dense phantoms, and the only things that could be explored were the administration building and the cafeteria. Of course, the administration building was more worth exploring, and maybe they could find some key clues to solve the current dilemma.
No one else had any objection to Xia Ruize’s proposal.
Of course, there was a prerequisite for going to the administrative building, which was to break through the obstruction of the phantom that had already appeared in the garden.
