Chapter 1000: Tremor

Zhou Mingrui stared at the elevator going down until the cabin doors closed.

He suppressed the impulse in his heart and didn't choose to take the elevator now to go to the underground area of Dawn Hospital to find out.

He needed more intelligence.

Zhou Mingrui withdrew his gaze, walked toward the exit of the elevator lobby, intending to take a tour of the nearby public restroom as he had pretended before.

Suddenly, he looked toward a corner on the side, as if something was hidden in the darkness there.

Zhou Mingrui stared for a while, not discovering any abnormalities.

He continued to walk diagonally forward and turned into the public restroom.

After a few seconds, he hid in the shadows, merged into the darkness, and circled back to this area, quietly observing.

After waiting patiently for nearly five minutes and confirming that there were no possible peepers in the corresponding corner, he returned to the public restroom, pretended to have just finished a life event, walked out slowly, and headed toward the emergency blood draw area.

Until Zhou Mingrui's figure entered the brightly lit area, in the elevator lobby, the figure of Lu Mian, with black hair scattered and a beautiful, flamboyant appearance, was reflected on the surface of the metal hall door of the elevator dedicated to surgery.

He was wearing a light gray T-shirt, draped in a coat lighter than water black, and his off-white trousers were pulled up slightly at the cuffs because he was too tall, revealing the edges of his socks.

"Spirituality is very strong, intuition is very sharp; this doesn't look like an 'Assassin' who is only Sequence 9..." Lu Mian sighed in a low voice.

He, of course, knew that Zhou Mingrui couldn't be a simple Sequence 9 "Assassin."

Just now, he had hidden in that corner using "Invisibility." Once Zhou Mingrui made a move to go to the underground area of the hospital, he would immediately think of a way to stop him. Who knew, he was almost discovered by Zhou Mingrui.

Fortunately, he wasn't just a "Hunter" and a "Witch"; a "Flash" transferred his position, and he hid in the metal mirror surface formed by the elevator hall door, hiding thoroughly.

Lu Mian walked out of the elevator, just about to approach the emergency center stealthily along the hall where most areas had no light, when he suddenly felt his feet vibrate.

It was like a not-so-obvious earthquake, or as if a not-so-violent explosion had occurred underground.

Lu Mian stopped, lowered his head, and stared at the floor paved with stone bricks.

"A certain change occurred in the underground area?" Lu Mian muttered in confusion.

…………

Seeing the wooden doors in front open backward, Franca pulled Luo Shan, her footsteps slipped, and she quickly hid in the side shadows brought by the dim light.

Then, she merged with the shadows and let Luo Shan stick to the wall, hiding behind her back, providing better cover with her own "shadow."

At the same time, Jenna used "Invisibility."

Just in the blink of an eye, before the wooden doors were fully opened, the three had completed their concealment.

This time, it was still a nursing assistant wearing sky-blue clothing and a white mask pushing a transfer bed inside.

But different from before, a patient covered with a thin quilt was lying on the transfer bed.

The patient was in her twenties, wearing a loose blue and white checkered hospital gown, her long golden hair tamely scattered on both sides, her forehead neither wide nor narrow, smooth and beautiful, her eyes emerald green, her temperament melancholic and calm.

The most conspicuous part of her was her abdomen, which was bulging high, seemingly already more than seven months pregnant.

Pushing a patient... Where are there wards and examination rooms in the underground area... Franca muttered in her heart.

Of course, she knew that in the place where the dream's subconscious psychological shadow and the "Mother Tree of Desire" abyss symbol merged, rationality was a scarce element.

The foreign pregnant woman lying on the transfer bed might be Mr. Fool or the psychological shadow of that Celestial Worthy!

Luo Shan, who was blocked behind Franca, didn't see the foreign pregnant woman until the transfer bed passed the position where the two were hiding.

Her gaze froze suddenly.

That was, that was the woman she had seen in her dream just now!

Although at that time one of the other party's eyes had been dug out and hung near the eye socket, there were very deep scars on the surface of her face that lacked flesh, and blood-red meat tumors like heads had grown on both sides of her shoulders, Luo Shan recognized her at a glance.

Luo Shan bit her lip, not letting herself make any sound due to surprise.

Just at this time, a baby's crying sounded from the bulging stomach of the pregnant woman on the transfer bed:

"Wah!"

Franca's hair stood on end instantly:

You haven't been born yet, why are you crying?

This crying caused the fearful emotions hidden in the hearts of Franca, Jenna, and Luo Shan to explode at the same time, uncontrollably leading to unnecessary movements.

Franca then detached herself from the shadows, and Jenna couldn't maintain the "Invisibility" state anymore.

With a swish, the hollow and dull-eyed nursing assistant turned her head to look at Jenna, and the foreign pregnant woman on the transfer bed also sat up, looking at Franca and Luo Shan.

Fight! Franca gritted her teeth and concealed her figure.

Her idea was to temporarily beat back the nursing assistant and the foreign pregnant woman, and then seize the opportunity to escape to the next area through the wooden double doors.

According to their previous experience, the "monsters" in the current area wouldn't leave their "territory."

The next second, the nursing assistant's whites of the eyes became more obvious, emitting a cold aura, and she took a big step to Jenna's front.

Jenna lost her trace again, making the nursing assistant miss.

Immediately after, her figure quickly outlined itself behind the nursing assistant, stabbing the sharp dagger she held toward the nursing assistant's back heart.

Pfft!

Her dagger was like stabbing metal and iron wood; it only pierced the clothing and couldn't pass through the skin.

Jenna wasn't shocked, letting the quiet, evil "Witch" black flames appear on the surface of the dagger, quickly infusing them into the nursing assistant's body.

With a poof, the nursing assistant, whose inhuman feeling became more intense, burned with "Witch" black flames from the inside out; he wailed silently, and his spirituality and life began to flow away quickly.

On the other side, the first thing Franca did was use "Invisibility," and Luo Shan opened her legs and swooshed ten or twenty meters away.

Franca appeared in front of the transfer bed, with a mirror in her hand, reflecting the figure of the foreign pregnant woman.

Almost at the same time, she pressed her palm covered with quiet black flames toward the mirror surface.

Throughout the process, the foreign pregnant woman's reaction appeared quite slow, just like an ordinary person.

She then saw strands of black flames emerging from her stomach, and heard the baby's crying becoming more and more obvious.

She let out a shrill and painful scream, and her figure disappeared from the transfer bed at once.

But when she reappeared in the direction Franca had predetermined for escape, the evil black flames on her body were still burning, becoming more and more vigorous.

Slap, slap, slap, the flesh of this foreign pregnant woman seemed to be burned and melted, falling to the ground piece by piece.

Feeling her aura dissipating quickly and seeing the nursing assistant collapse to the ground and stop moving, Franca actually had a sense of unreality.

This was solved?

Was that giant mushroom person just now actually an exception, and the "monsters" in the underground area of Dawn Hospital were also suppressed to Sequence 7?

No, can't think like that, setting a flag is wrong...

Franca didn't have time to remedy her thoughts before she saw the foreign pregnant woman collapse, her abdomen tearing inch by inch, as if something wanted to drill out.

At the same time, those pieces of flesh that fell to the ground also produced mutations.

Some of them combined with the floor tiles, turning into the shape of a womb, giving birth to babies with eyebrows and eyes, just square-shaped; some touched the transfer bed, causing the surface of that bluish mechanical bed to suddenly bulge, popping out one after another small beds with human heads and wheels for limbs; some splashed onto the ceiling, causing the energy-saving lamps to suddenly brighten, giving birth to dozens of children with human bodies and lamp tubes for heads...

Franca and Jenna instinctively retreated seven or eight steps toward the direction of the mushroom person, both of them looking as if they had been turned into fools.

Is this the psychological shadow of a great existence?

As expected of the psychological shadow of a great existence!

Don't come over!

I don't want to give birth!

In horror, Franca drew the iron-black "Gun of Certainty."

She discovered that the foreign pregnant woman hadn't died completely and was still producing more flesh, and those pieces of flesh squirmed to find new mothers or fathers, constantly giving birth, constantly giving birth.

In addition, the foreign pregnant woman's abdomen had been completely torn, and the fetus inside was about to crawl out.

Franca forced herself to calm down, aimed at the foreign pregnant woman's abdomen, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A bullet emitting a dim green color shot out, passing through the large number of strange-looking infants, accurately hitting the target, and drilling into the foreign pregnant woman's abdomen.

"Certain Death"!

The baby's crying in the foreign pregnant woman's stomach became intense and resentful, but stopped abruptly in the blink of an eye.

Similarly, the foreign pregnant woman stopped secreting flesh, and those that had differentiated before also withered after giving birth to a new fetus.

Fortunately, "Certain Death" worked... Seeing this, Franca breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Just at this time, she and Jenna and Luo Shan felt the tremor of the earth.

This tremor only lasted for one second, but Franca and the others saw that outside the wooden double doors, the new corridor was collapsing inch by inch; the walls, rooms, and ceiling there were too, and they fell toward the deep abyss that had no bottom and was filled with thick darkness.

Such collapse slowly spread toward the current area.

Franca and Jenna had a premonition; one looked up at the high place, and the other looked toward the area where the giant mushroom person was blocked by the wooden doors.

Franca discovered that the ceiling high above her was also falling down, but it didn't smash toward them, but fell directly into the thick darkness that seemed to have no bottom; Jenna saw that the area where the giant mushroom person was also appeared to have collapsed, a collapse spreading toward the place where they were staying.

"Did killing that foreign pregnant woman trigger the mutation of the underground area?

"No, now might be the true appearance of the underground area of Dawn Hospital, a dark abyss containing various psychological shadows... The corridors and some rooms we walked through and saw just now were just disguises brought by the influence of the dream city, symbolizing safe zones..."

Franca suddenly had such a realization.

"This, what should we do?" Luo Shan finally got rid of the horror.

She was first polluted in her eyes by those hundreds of monster babies and their birth process, frightened in her soul, and then discovered that she and the others seemed to have no way out.
