Chu Yunsheng sat on the floor while staring at the pig’s brain, and thinking that he should probably go to the nearby zoo to get some more animals’ brains. Although he stored quite a lot of pork, he only had three pigs’ brains, he didn’t know that it could be this useful before.

After checking his injuries, he felt numbness in his right hand, and when he was trying to move, it caused him a great pain. His abdomen was pinched tightly by the insect earlier, so the injury here was the most severe. He even felt pain when he breathed. But fortunately, he was not missing any body parts. His injuries would recover once the Yuan Qi circulated inside his body for a complete cycle.

The remaining two units of Yuan Qi were more than enough to deal with the two dying red-shelled insects.

After he collected the three insects’ bodies he did not rush into the hospital, he held his right hand and found himself a quiet corner.

So far he had saved up two absorption Talismans, they were all filled up with flame patterns. Before he left the restaurant, he had used one of them to restore his Yuan Qi. Now he only had one and a half, a total of nine flame patterns left. It meant that he could still restore eighteen units of Yuan Qi.

So, he decided to use the half talisman to restore his Yuan Qi.

Looking at the used talisman making a sibilant sound and slowly burning out in the mid-air, Chu Yunsheng took out a cigarette and thought, in this battle, he had killed three red-shelled insects, it had cost him six units of Yuan Qi, which equaled the amount that he gathered from the three dead insects. But he collected more materials in the end. In short, the result was not too bad.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t dare to take a break, the night was still long. Once he finished the cigarette, he started to move again!

This community hospital had two buildings, one big and one small, and both buildings were built using red bricks. There were bodies lying around on the ground next to the wall, some looked like doctors and others looked like patients, but they all had something similar, which were the empty skulls. It was definitely done by red-shelled insects.

The main building’s glass door at the entrance was broken. The shattered glass pieces were scattered all round the floor, making the cracking sounds when Chu Yunsheng walked on it.

There was a huge pool of blood in the reception area, the hall was a mess. Medical reports and newspapers were everywhere. The headlines printed on the newspapers were very eye-catching:

<The sun disappeared!>

Or the even more frightening one:

<Monsters attacking humans! Army involved!>

There was half an intestine hanging on the new patient registration window. The blood that had dripped from it was already frozen. There were a few banknotes whirling in the eddies of wind. The computers and furniture were all knocked over, it seemed that a serious riot had happened here before.

There was a cupboard tightly blocked behind the security door. However, there was a hole in the top half of the door. An eyeball was stuck on the rusty metal on top of the door. it looked ferociously at the dark corridor behind the hall.

The notice board for introducing traditional Chinese medicine was broken into half, there was hair with blood all over the broken glass.

Chu Yunsheng turned to the right, saw a counter. On the top of the counter, there was a sign, which was about to fall down. It read “Drug collection”. In front of the counter, the chairs were all over the place, some of them had been broken into pieces.

Chu Yunsheng did not know what happened here, but it was so quiet that he could even hear his own footsteps!

Every step he made, he could hear the sound of it echoing back from deep inside the corridor as if he was stepping into hell. The gust of wind constantly brought the heavy smell of blood to his face through the corridor.

Chu Yunsheng always felt something was amiss about this hospital. This place was very creepy and hair-raising, but he could not tell what exactly made him feel that way!

However, he had already gotten to this point, there was no way he would give up halfway. He just needed to hurry and find the drugs then leave this place as soon as possible.

The counter window for drug collection was broken. As long as he carefully removed the debris, he would be able to climb over it. Behind the counter, the cabinet for the drugs had fallen onto each other one by one just like dominos. All the drugs had fallen on the ground and scattered everywhere in the room.

As Chu Yunsheng controlled the beam that came from the storage and scanned the whole room, all the drugs were sucked into the talisman. He didn’t have time to differentiate which drug was useful, and which was not. Once he got to a safer place, he could take his time and check them one by one.

The drug collection counter did not have many drugs, the majority of the drugs were stored in the drug storage facility. According to the map drawn by that female teacher, if he wanted to go to the drug storage room, he had to go through that deep dark corridor!

Should he go or not?

Chu Yunsheng did not know why he feared this corridor. The hospital was already creepy enough, plus the sounds of insects that came and went like ghosts, it made him even more afraid of this hospital!

Grabbing a counterfeit detector from the counter, he threw it very hard down the corridor, and then quickly aimed the crossbow at the corridor.

“Clang ... clang ...” the counterfeit detector rolled very far.

Nothing happened, no insects jumped out, no ghosts appeared.

Chu Yunsheng was slightly relieved, ‘Maybe I am too paranoid. If there are any insects, they should have come out already!’ he thought.

Turning on the infrared radiation device, the dark corridor instantly appeared in a green color in the night vision goggles, it was even eerier.

He tightly clenched the crossbow, and slowly moved into the corridors along the wall.

Even though he was extremely careful, he could still clearly hear his footsteps echoing inside the corridor!

He was so nervous that his palms were sweating, but for the drugs, he had to take the risk. Even if the drugs were not for those kids, in future, he would certainly need those life-saving drugs as well.

He did not even dare look at the doors on both sides of the corridor. He kept thinking that he just needed to quickly go through the corridor as soon as possible, and after making the right turn at the end of the corridor, the drug storage room would be just one floor above him!

However, when passing another door on the left, he suddenly saw a white shadow flashed by the window on the top of the door!

Chu Yunsheng instantly leaned against the wall while holding his breath. His heart was jumping rapidly and his palms were sweating even harder. And when he was hesitant about whether he should check it one more time, a crooning song came from the room he had just walked past. It was soft, cold and intermittent.

“Who is it!” Chu Yunsheng hissed. This cold song was so eerie that it had made his hair rise. But no one answered him. Instead, the song still could be heard clearly from the outside.

Gritting his teeth, Chu Yunsheng made up his mind, “Fuck it, I do not believe there is a ghost! I have already killed more than a dozen red-shelled insects, why am I still scared of these things?”

When he was about to kick open the door, the door unexpectedly “creaked” open by itself.

He immediately aimed the crossbow at the door. A woman soon appeared in front of him. She was naked, her messy hair could not hide her pretty face, and her nice curvy body was emitting a dim pale light. She was looking at him, but her eyes appeared to be unfocused, a small and delicate mouth opened and closed. She was humming a song emotionlessly.

“Who are you?” Chu Yunsheng was not intimidated, he had seen worse.

This woman was very strange, everything about her was unusual. The temperature was freezing cold, but she didn’t wear anything and her skin was as pale as a ghost!

The woman did not answer, but smiled at him strangely, and step by step walked towards him.

All of sudden, Chu Yunsheng felt that the energy shield was activated. He did not know why, but it seemed like the shield was trying to defend against something.

“Stop! Or I will shoot you!” he hissed while gritting his teeth.

The woman continued walking towards him and still didn’t respond. Probably she didn’t hear him. Her steps were so light as if she was a puppet that was controlled by something.

Chu Yunsheng would not allow anyone to threaten his life, even this naked woman. He immediately pulled the trigger without any hesitation!

In such a close distance, the powerful frost arrow pierced through her chest, dragging her back and stuck her onto the wall!

“Ah!...” the naked woman only had time to make a shrill scream.

But at the moment when she was about to be frozen, the woman seemed to smile at him again. The difference was that this time, her empty eyes flashed a glimmer of color. It seemed like she was relieved.

“...coo... ...coo...” A series of strange low grunting sounds suddenly came from the back of the hospital. The sounds seemed to contain a faint of anger as if its beloved toy had been taken away by someone.

“What was that?!”

Chu Yunsheng was shocked, but there was no time for him to think too much. He came all the way here to get drugs, he should quickly get the medicine, and leave this place as soon as possible! He should absolutely not get close to that place!

Not daring to stay any longer, he started to run fast. Quickly taking a turn at the end of the corridor, he ran upstairs. Following the map, he soon found the drug storage room. The door was locked but Chu Yunsheng easily broke it.

The medicine storage room was very clean, there was no sign of someone breaking in before. Chu Yunsheng quickly collected everything he could. He even stored the entire refrigeration equipment as well.

Once he was done, he immediately ran down the stairs, but when he just came back to the corridor, he instinctively felt that something was staring at him.

After passing through the lobby, taking the right turn, and going upstairs, the medicine storage room would be in sight. But taking the left turn, the corridor would lead towards different wards.

This feeling of something watching him came directly from the corridor on the left. Quickly taking out the crossbow, he clenched tightly onto it. From his understanding, the world’s scariest thing was nothing but the insects.

But when he saw a slender pipe-shaped tentacle, it suddenly struck him that there was more than just one kind of monster out there in the world!

The tentacle appeared to have a giant eye on its front, and at the moment, it was quickly moving towards him.
