Bloody Hospital (17): Live Broadcast
“you are……?”
The deputy director had no idea what was going on due to his dizzy and bloated head. If he hadn’t been surrounded by the familiar hospital scenery, he would have thought he was being kidnapped.
The deputy director became more and more sober under the effect of ice water. After carefully observing the person who was asking the question, he suddenly shouted in surprise, “You are Mr. Bruce Aardman!”
At this time, Xia Ruize and the other two who had been pretending to be unconscious patients were also carried into the garden by the hired mercenaries and watched the scene from a close distance.
As a patient in the inpatient building, they were at least treated well. At least they were put on the lawn instead of being thrown away.
When Xia Ruize and the other two heard the title from the deputy director, they knew that the visitor was from the Aardman family.
“Do you think it would be particularly interesting if everything that happens here was broadcast live to the whole world?”
Cheng Huaiqian remembered that Gao Hexuan had mentioned before that he had connected to the public network of this world, but the three of them had been busy fighting and had no time to understand it properly. Now was a good opportunity, wasn’t it? Cheng Huaiqian’s mouth curled up in a malicious angle.
Xia Ruize knew very well that his lover would enjoy watching the excitement, but the difference was that he had also been “corrupted” and was actually looking forward to seeing the scene his lover described. So with a slight movement of his fingers, several cameras popped out and stuck to the surrounding walls, trees, and even wheelchairs and clothes.
Gao Hexuan saw that his two teammates had reached an agreement, and they activated their own abilities immediately. Immediately, starting from the Aardman Hospital, all the screens in the surrounding countries’ networks began to broadcast the scene inside the Aardman Hospital.
The speed at which the network transmits information was so fast that before the deputy director could recover from his shock, the live broadcast had already spread all over the world.
The reason why the deputy director was shocked was simple. Half a year ago, during a traditional festival, he was invited to attend a party held by the Aardman family because of his outstanding work. At the dinner, he had personally seen the current head of the Aardman family, Mr. Bruce Aardman.
At that time, Mr. Bruce Aardman, who was said to be 103 years old, was still energetic and stood in the middle of the crowd to receive guests and gave speeches on the stage. He was simply a living signboard of the Aardman family’s medical level.
But now, less than half a year had passed, and Mr. Bruce Aardman who appeared before him had become old and frail, like a candle in the wind, with white eyes, terrible age spots, and a weak body. He looked like he would die at any time.
If the deputy director knew that these changes did not happen within half a year but only within one morning, he would probably be even more shocked.
Then the deputy director, who had been unable to keep calm, was splashed with a bucket of ice water, and he shivered until he was completely sober.
“Tell me, what is going on!!!”
Asking this question again, Bruce Aardman could be described as hysterical.
This morning, when he saw the increasingly terrified expressions on the faces of his old friends who were chatting with him, and he also felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, the first thing he thought of was the secret hidden in the hearts of the Aardman family – the devil Duowei under the Aardman Hospital.
Afterwards, news came back that the family elders had met with accidents one after another, and he completely locked the suspects on Aardman Hospital and Duowei.
But when he tried to contact his son David, who currently managed Aardman Hospital, he found that he could not contact anyone at all. Not only that, he also received no response when he contacted other people in Aardman Hospital. Even the security department was offline.
Bruce Aardman clearly realized that something serious had happened, so he immediately mobilized the maximum armed forces and rushed to Aardman Hospital in person. Even if he died, he would die after figuring out the situation.
Then, Bruce Aardman and a group of Aardman family members heard a series of bad news from the deputy director: the director’s office was robbed, the director himself was missing, and everyone in the hospital fell unconscious…
During this period, Bruce Aardman, who had not yet gotten used to being a real 103-year-old man, was so emotionally agitated that he passed out and only woke up after emergency treatment.
The process of him being rescued was a process in which netizens around the world went from being confused to being shocked.
At first, when everyone who was watching TV, computer, mobile phone, etc. found that the screen suddenly started playing abnormal images, they thought they had clicked on some prank show, until they found that they could not exit the screen no matter what and could only zoom out, and then they gradually began to panic.
When netizens found out that the people around them were in the same situation, everyone’s emotions calmed down. After all, no matter what happened, it seemed that things were not so bad when there were many people around.
What’s more, they could continue browsing the web and chatting by just zooming out, so the situation seemed acceptable.
The audience calmed down and began to watch the plot carefully. Then they found something remarkable. For a while, related topics exploded on various social media platforms.
There was always someone who knew something, so information about the Aardman Hospital, the “devil’s hospital” for terminally ill patients, the Aardman family with an abnormally strong longevity gene, and so on were quickly pushed to the most prominent position.
Some netizens who were quick to react even pulled up a comparison chart of the recently exposed photos of the Aardman family members that appeared on the screen and the on-site photos. The common point was that everyone had grown older.
In addition, the relatives of the former terminally ill patients who had been treated and discharged from Aardman Hospital and the 400 patients currently receiving treatment in the hospital were all closely following the video on the Internet for the first time.
“Wow, can three months really age someone this much? Are these two photos really of the same person?”
“Oh my god, I know Aardman Hospital! My grandfather was treated in this hospital. He said the medical staff were very friendly and the treatment methods were very advanced. They cured my grandfather’s terminal illness. I will always be grateful to Aardman Hospital. No matter what happened to them, I hope everything goes well!”
“My father is receiving treatment at Aardman Hospital. The hospital forbids family members from contacting the patient, saying they will take good care of the patient. But what is going on now? My God, why are those people in hospital gowns not moving? Where is my father? How is my father? No, I have to go and see him now!”
…
Gradually, the netizens watching the incident realized that something was a little strange.
Because in the picture, the gun-wielding mercenaries began pouring buckets of ice water on the sleeping workers as required by their employers. When there was not enough ice water, they even beat them with their fists and feet. Soon, all the workers were woken up.
After they woke up, they were faced with the same question: What happened in the hospital?
No one could explain the reason clearly because they really knew nothing, but everyone’s answers about what they saw and heard were unusually similar. Around ten o’clock in the morning, everyone suddenly felt dizzy and weak, and the degree of dizziness became more and more serious. After only a few minutes, they fell into a coma and lost consciousness.
The same words came out of different people’s mouths, which made Bruce Aardman extremely dissatisfied and also gave chills to the hearts of netizens watching the scene.
Seeing that he could not get anything out of the staff, Bruce Aardman turned his attention to the patients lying on the ground. Although the patients knew even less information, Bruce Aardman still ordered everyone to wake up all the patients. Regardless of their weak bodies, he poured large buckets of ice water on them one after another.
After all, there were so many patients that they couldn’t wait for the long awakening process, so Bruce Aardman ordered his younger generation to push him, followed by other core members of the family. The group entered the cafeteria under the personal escort of loyal security personnel trained by the family.
The mercenaries who were invited temporarily did not have the opportunity to follow and observe the secrets of the Aardman family, but netizens in front of the Internet followed the camera all the way through the cafeteria and into the warehouse. At the end of the warehouse, they saw David Aardman lying unconscious on the ground.
BruceAardman excitedly asked the accompanying doctor to go forward and check, and learned that David was still alive, but in a coma due to excessive blood loss.
Bruce Aardman ordered the doctors in a tough manner to find a way to forcibly wake the man up, and also ordered the use of David’s blood to open the hidden elevator at the end of the warehouse.
Next, the accompanying doctors and security personnel were left behind, and only the core members of the Aardman family were allowed to enter the elevator in order. Of course, the cameras attached to the wheelchairs and clothes of several elderly people also entered the elevator.
The elevator continued to move downwards as watched by netizens around the world. When the carriage door opened again, the people at the scene and in front of the screen exclaimed in disbelief.
The audience in front of the screen had no idea that there was an underground castle hidden dozens of meters below the famous Aardman Hospital. It was really weird no matter how you looked at it.
The people of the Aardman family never expected to see half of the castle belonging to Duowei collapsed and half of the gate disappeared.
“Oh my God! Master Duowei! My Lord! Are you okay?”
Bruce Aardman was so excited that he almost jumped out of his wheelchair, but due to his physical condition, he just leaned forward slightly and fell back heavily. His hoarse and frightened voice echoed back and forth in the empty dungeon.
“Boom!”
The remaining half of the castle’s gate fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust, as if in silent response.
The expressions of the core members of the Aardman family were all frozen. After a moment, Bruce Aardman moved his fingers and pointed to the three younger generations behind him, signaling them to go closer to the castle and check it out in person.
The three grandchildren, Aardman, who were now in their fifties and sixties, knew the inside story and hesitated to step forward.
Among the core members of the family, they all refer to Duowei as “the devil”. They were terrified of him and were unwilling to get close to him. Some even accidentally let this nickname slip to others, which made the nickname of Aardman Hospital the “Devil’s Hospital”.
But seeing the fierce look in the family patriarch’s eyes, the three of them had no choice but to approach the castle slowly.
What the Aardman family members who entered the dungeon didn’t know was that the mercenaries who remained on the ground at this time had received the message one after another. The reason was simple: among the patients they had awakened by force, there were relatives of their former employers. The satellite call came directly to them, and the news that the scenes here were being broadcast live around the world was also conveyed.
Suddenly, the mercenaries no longer dared to be cruel and treated the remaining patients very gently.
