The mission area was bustling with people coming and going, and players were discussing their own topics, but Lu Cai felt that the surroundings were dead silent.

How many people were there? Lu Cai had no way of estimating. She couldn't even imagine the bloody battle that had erupted between the players and the management.

What she knew was that the management now had complete control over the players and that the game management had unquestionable authority.

But this also demonstrates that KB Games' management isn't as tight a grip on the game as players imagine. No one gets angry about something they control, yet the management resorts to aggression simply because players are hiding in the dungeon world.

This is very different from the current situation where "scavengers rarely enter dungeons to interfere with player tasks."

Those players at that time may have really seen the weaknesses of KB game management.

At this time, a message came from the group chat.

[Yue Xiaoyan: We're here!]

[Zhao Yan: Where are you?]

[Qin Yu: Let's go our separate ways. Please send us the verification code.]

[Arbitrator Lu: Someone is following us?]

[Qin Yu: I haven't found anything yet, but it's better to be careful.]

Zhao Yan sent their verification codes as instructed, then turned his head and explained the registration copy to the three people next to him.

[Qin Yu: Lu Cai, just like last time, sneaked in and followed Zhao Yan closely.]

[Arbitrator Lu: OK]

——

After entering the door frame, Lu Cai was greeted by a familiar darkness, something she had already adapted to. As she strolled along, a sudden force struck her from behind. She leaped forward, quickly steadying herself as the darkness dissipated.

A stench mixed with fast food and rotten clothes hit her nose, and she frowned.

Before me was a modest room, white walls and blue chairs, crammed with people. Everyone looked haggard and disheveled, some carrying large, floral bags and cotton blankets spread out in the corners.

Qin Yu and the others weren't here. It seemed they'd been separated again. Lu Cai looked down at his clothes. They were still the same, even his black cloak.

Next, she checked the system group chat. She opened the group chat interface. There was a red exclamation mark after each person's name. At the top of the chat box, a sentence was displayed:

[Searching for the signal, please wait a moment...]

Lu Cai raised his eyebrows slightly. What did this mean? A signal?

Can she have a signal?

They were secretly excited. If they could overcome the difficulty of the dungeon being "out of service area" often, they would be a real team!

Several people in the room began to chat, their voices low, as if they were afraid of disturbing anyone.

This place was a bit like the train station where people rushed to catch tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush, except it wasn't like that at all. It was too quiet. Lu Cai wrinkled her nose; she could even smell disinfectant.

There were two doors in the room. One was tightly closed and had no doorknob. The other door was ajar, and through the crack in the door, one could see the dim light outside.

This copy was called "Duty Room at Zero Hour." Cai Lu looked at the scene in front of him and had a guess.

She stood up and walked from the edge of the mat to the door. The room suddenly became quiet, and a cold wind brushed against the back of her neck. Lu Cai stopped and slowly turned sideways, only to find that everyone in the room was staring at him.

They must be extremely tired. The dark circles under their eyes looked like they were printed with ink. Each of their eyes was bloodshot, and their eye sockets were wide open, as if their eyeballs would fall out at any time.

But they were silent at this moment, their faces showing neither anger nor threats, they just stared at her blankly.

Even the few people who were chatting just now pursed their lips quietly.

The room fell into dead silence.

The tightly closed door on the other end was suddenly opened, and a young nurse in a white coat and white hat walked out.

"Family members of bed 9, the patient is critically ill, please come in and sign." The nurse was wearing a mask and her voice was as calm as still water.

But the room suddenly came back to life. A middle-aged man quickly stood up and hurried into the ward, but his expression was not sad, and he even looked a little numb, his face was tortured by fatigue and looked unrecognizable.

Lu Cai's guess was confirmed, this was a hospital.

She put her hand on the door handle. This time no one noticed her behavior and no unusual phenomenon occurred in the room.

I opened the door and walked out. There was an empty corridor outside. On the left side of the lounge was the end of the corridor. A light blue electronic door was tightly closed, and there was a large icon on the wall - ICU.

It's the intensive care unit.

The lights in the corridor were dim, and a thin mist was slowly approaching from the other side.

She continued to walk out for two steps, and finally couldn't help rubbing her hands. It was really too cold. Maybe the background time of this copy was winter?

The fog had no smell, but it was extremely cold, floating in the air like the atmospheric smoke created on a stage, obscuring her vision.

She groped her way along the aisle and reached the elevator. She walked in carefully and saw the sign on the wall: 3F.

There are four elevators here, one is for employees only and needs to be opened by swiping a card, one stops at a single floor, and the other two are in normal operation.

But the button display screen outside the elevator showed the same number - "-1".

In the hospital, the number more ominous than midnight is probably "-1".

Lu Cai felt increasingly cold.

I don't know how many floors there are here, nor how big the map of this dungeon is...

It looks like a supernatural copy, but the atmosphere is better than the last "Hotel Horror".

The experience of this primary copy is quite good.

Just as I was about to look for a floor map to see the area divisions of the building, the down button of the elevator in front of me suddenly lit up.

Lu Cai's whole body was tense, and the long-tube light above his head, which was better than nothing, dimmed a little.

She tugged at the hem of her cloak and looked at the stainless steel elevator door in front of her. Through the blurry reflection, she didn't see anyone other than herself.

Oh wow, this is exciting.

She leaned back and stood to one side. The digital displays on the four elevators all started switching from -1. The employee elevator went all the way up without stopping at the first floor, while the other three elevators stopped at the first floor and passed the third floor on their way up.

After a while, the elevator continued to move upwards. An ordinary passenger elevator stopped at the 2nd floor, and the single-floor elevator and the elevator near the aisle door continued to move upwards.

Lu Cai drew his dagger and gripped it tightly, his entire body tense as he watched the two elevator doors warily. Time seemed to slow down; from the number 2 to the number 3, it seemed like an eternity had passed.

at last--

“Beep—”

A piercing electronic sound suddenly rang in her ears, irritating her head slightly. She clenched the dagger in her hand, goose bumps rising on her back and arms, and the chill she felt deepened.

With a click, the elevator door slowly opened.

Lu Cai held his breath.

The fog became thicker, but no one came out of the elevator. After a long time, the elevator door slowly closed.

The cold air passed through Lu Cai's body and lingered for a long time.

Lu Cai......

She had an idea... an idea that couldn't be dwelled on.

Excessive tension and a chill made her breathe heavily.

Before I could recover from my shock, a piercing scream suddenly erupted from the depths of the corridor. Many people were shouting, "Intensive Care Unit!"

She turned and sprinted back. The overhead light seemed to be muted, and she could only vaguely make out a narrow passage. Inside the lounge and the electronic door, there was a constant banging sound.

"Help--"

Cries for help came from inside, miserable, powerless, and mixed with despair. Their voices were hoarse, begging for someone to come and save their lives.

Cai Lu ran over, grabbed the door handle and shook it twice, but the door was locked!

She took two steps back, clenched her fists, gathered strength, and kicked back, punching the door—

The fist stopped about five centimeters away from the door.

Lu Cai chuckled, and the lights above his head almost went out.

"You were expecting me to break the door down, weren't you?" She clenched her fist and flexed her fingers. "It's a shame I can't do what you wish. Although I can fight, I don't want a full-scale fight."

The overhead light returned to normal, still dim, but I could see the nurse who went to the lounge to call for help standing in front of the electronic door. The knocking and shouting sounds in the lounge and behind the electronic door disappeared.

The nurse stared at Lu Cai with a dazed look. From the back of her shoulder, a stream of bright red spread across her shoulder line and seeped towards the front.

"Do you really think that if you lower the lights, others won't be able to see?" Lu Cai also looked back at her quietly, "The smell of blood is too strong."

The nurse didn't say anything, just looked at her, and then... the overhead light dimmed.

The darkness caught her off guard. Her shoulders shook slightly, and a bloody mouth appeared in front of her. She was so scared that she raised her hand and punched the other person directly on the chin.

The other party probably bit his tongue. Lu Cai heard a "woohoo" sound and vaguely saw a dry hand covering the bloody mouth.

The lights came on and the nurse was nowhere to be seen.

The attack just now made Lu Cai feel that this nurse seemed not very smart, as she did not dodge Lu Cai's attack.

The system group chat vibrated, and Lu Cai paused.

[Yue Xiaoyan: Where are you guys? QAQ]

The signal is coming!

She raised her hand and shook the door to the lounge, only to find it wouldn't open. She quickly ran to the elevator and crouched beside the fire door connecting the elevator and stairwell. She leaned against the wall, protecting herself, and began to focus on the system group chat interface.

Except Shi Rukui, everyone else is normal!

The fear and tension just now disappeared in an instant, leaving only joy, but I didn’t know whether the signal was stable.

[Zhao Yan: Lu Cai's group chat is awesome! Is there still a signal in the dungeon?]

[Arbitrator Lu: I'm in the intensive care unit on the third floor. Where are you?]

[Zhao Yan: This is the emergency room, on the first floor.]

[Qin Yu: In the hemodialysis room, escaping, I don’t know which floor it is.]

[Zhao Yan: I'll go to the inpatient lobby to check the floor instructions! I'll come back to support you later!]

[Yue Xiaoyan: Someone please save me! I'm in the operating room, already on the table. They're going to give me a local anesthetic!]

[Qin Yu: Go save Xiaoyan first! I can handle it alone!]

[Cai Lu: I'll go to the second floor first. Zhao Yan will let me know when he finds the floor number.]

[Zhao Yan: Okay.]

She closed the system group chat and looked up to see a group of people gathered outside the light red barrier.

They were wearing vertical striped hospital gowns, their faces were dark blue, their lips were tightly pursed, and they stared at Lu Cai with dull eyes.

The author has something to say:
