Chapter 242 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui did not take any other action and remained standing in the same spot. About two or three hours later, Long Zhou woke up.
He sat on the bed and yawned casually, looking nothing like a fool or madman; everything before might have been an act.
After all, with a doctor of considerable status protecting him, many of the examinations were probably just for show.
Long Zhou looked around and muttered to himself, "No one's really coming. Is that person dead too?"
Xue Rui couldn't help but wonder if he was talking about himself.
After Long Zhou finished speaking, he got out of bed and walked outside. Once he was outside in the corridor, Xue Rui quietly followed behind him, making sure he didn't get noticed.
Long Zhou looked at the empty corridor and curled his lip. "What bad luck. How come none of them survived? Oh well, let's go check on him. He can't die yet..."
Because of the distance, Xue Rui couldn't hear clearly, but since there was no one around and it was very quiet, he still managed to hear a few scattered words.
What's bad luck? What's surviving? What's there to not die...?
Are we going to see someone who can't die?
Xue Rui didn't make a sound and quietly followed behind him. Long Zhou didn't take the elevator either, but slowly walked down the stairs, floor by floor.
He walked all the way to the first floor, and somehow he pushed open a mechanism. In the far end of the first-floor corridor, a door that no one would ever go into, suddenly appeared, and it had been perfectly sealed before it was opened!
Anyway, Xue Rui didn't notice anything at all!
After Long Zhou went in, Xue Rui didn't stay idle either. He quickly walked over and slipped inside before the door closed. It turned out to be a small room, not very big, only about 20 square meters.
This is a standard single-person hospital room, with a hospital bed and one person lying on it.
Xue Rui quickly asked the system, "Is this person a reporter?"
"System notification: Congratulations to the player for finding reporter Zhao Mingxin who was hiding in the hospital!"
At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Xue Rui. Great! He understood completely, he really understood completely!
This system was actually waiting for him here!
Although Long Zhou was also a reporter who had infiltrated the hospital, he had long been assimilated by the hospital and was essentially a traitor. If I really believed Long Zhou and obtained evidence of the hospital's dark side and handed it over to him, then when I tried to escape with Long Zhou, I would definitely be surrounded and killed by the hospital's people.
This mission is definitely going to fail. Could this be a hidden mission?
Wouldn't I get a lot of points this time?
"Hello Zhao Mingxin, it's been a long time! How have you been doing here lately?"
The person lying on the bed had all four limbs bound and couldn't get up at all. When he saw Long Zhou, his face was full of resentment. "Pah! You despicable villain, if you have the guts, let me go and see if I can crush the bones in your body!"
Long Zhou didn't care how much he cursed him. As long as he was the one who benefited in the end, it was perfectly fine. "Hey, don't get so worked up!"
"You know what? Someone attacked the vice-dean again, and they were all killed. What a bunch of useless trash, they still didn't give me an opportunity..."
"Tell me, how long will it take before the next attack? These patients and their families left in the hospital are all just ordinary, incompetent people, far too weak compared to the hospital's security guards and nurses!"
Zhao Mingxin, "You've aided and abetted evil! Just you wait, I'll make sure you get what's coming to you!"
Long Zhou didn't care about what he said at all. "You're right, you're right. I'll die a horrible death, okay? Alright, alright, stop talking. If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago. How could you still be alive now? Isn't it good to be a hospital worker like me? Do you know how much money I've made in this hospital?"
He pointed to a number with his finger, "It's this number!"
Long Zhou wore a greedy smile. Xue Rui felt a pang of sadness looking at him. He hadn't realized Long Zhou's true colors before. But he had to admit that he had also benefited from this misfortune by finding the real reporter.
He really didn't expect that there was more than one reporter who had infiltrated the hospital!
Thank goodness, I've managed to avoid that pitfall. Surely the Zhao Mingxin in front of me isn't fake too, right? This C-level difficulty dungeon shouldn't be that insane.
Once Long Zhou leaves, he can take the real reporter and leave the hospital, completing the mission!
Long Zhou seemed to have only come here to show off, to put Zhao Mingxin down, and perhaps even to see if he could win him over, but to no avail. Zhao Mingxin's face was upright, and he showed no sign of wavering.
Long Zhou was at his wit's end. His mouth was dry from talking, and seeing that Zhao Mingxin was still unmoved, he snorted coldly, "I'll give you one more day. If you still can't figure it out, after one day, I'll take you to the hospital to be a match. If you're a match, then you can expect to have your internal organs removed!"
He angrily turned and left after uttering harsh words. Xue Rui carefully remembered how he opened the door when he went out, and nodded to himself.
After Long Zhou left, he couldn't wait to walk to the bedside and look at Zhao Mingxin, who was his mission target.
I never imagined it would be hidden here!
He didn't immediately deactivate his stealth mode, but instead searched the small ward thoroughly, only breathing a sigh of relief when he found that there was indeed no listening or surveillance equipment.
Zhao Mingxin was somewhat shocked to see the person who had suddenly appeared in the ward. "You..."
Xue Rui gestured for him to be quiet, then released him to let him move around freely. Perhaps because he hadn't gotten up in a long time, he was a little unsteady when he walked, but it was okay. After walking for a few minutes, he was able to move around freely again.
"Who are you……"
Xue Rui didn't say much, but took out his phone from his pocket and handed it over. Zhao Mingxin took it and looked at it, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy.
"I knew it, someone would succeed! I knew it..." He started crying as he spoke, wiping away his tears while carefully hiding the phone on his person.
"Sir, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know when I would have been able to realize this wish."
Xue Rui shook his head. "Don't waste time. I received news that the dean will be back tomorrow at noon. We still have twelve... no, eleven hours to escape!"
Zhao Mingxin: "That's no problem, I have a special way to get out of the hospital safely, but I can't take you with me..."
Xue Rui: "It's okay. When I came to the hospital, I didn't expect to leave alive. I'll be happy as long as you can take this with you."
Seeing him speak with such righteous indignation, Zhao Mingxin's goodwill towards him instantly surged. "You...you're great, you're great! You're the complete opposite of that idiot Long Zhou!"
"By the way, how did you find me?"
Xue Rui said, "I originally wanted to find Long Zhou and give him this. I thought he was the reporter who was lurking in the hospital trying to seek justice, but I never expected..."
"I never expected that when I went to find him, I would see him talking to a doctor at the hospital, and that's when I discovered his true colors."
Zhao Mingxin sighed deeply, "That's good, as long as no major mistakes have been made!"
Xue Rui, "How are you going to leave the hospital? The vice president was attacked, and many parts of the hospital were also bombed. The entire hospital is under martial law."
Zhao Mingxin shook his head, "No problem, I won't use the main gate or climb over the wall!"
Xue Rui, "How do you plan to get out?"
Zhao Mingxin shook his head, "I can go out by myself, I'll walk through the sewers! After we go out and find the sewers outside, I'll walk by myself, you mustn't follow me."
Xue Rui, "Why is that?"
Zhao Mingxin sighed deeply, "There's something wrong with your identity!"
Xue Rui: "What's wrong with me? I have nothing to do with the hospital!"
Zhao Mingxin: "I know you have no connection with the hospital and are not one of its accomplices. I'm asking about the reason you were sent to the hospital. Was it because Mr. Ye was sent by that organization?"
Xue Rui nodded, "That's true."
Zhao Mingxin said, "All patients sent by Mr. Ye will have something implanted in their bodies beforehand. As long as you leave the hospital area, this thing will send an alarm to the other party's machine, and then transmit real-time location to bring you back, unless you are dead."
Xue Rui gasped. He knew things weren't that simple. He found the real reporter and handed him the evidence that all the players had worked so hard to obtain, only to be told that they would die in the end if they wanted to leave the hospital together!
"In that case, I'll send you away."
Zhao Mingxin looked at him with deep sorrow, "I will never forget you. I will definitely put your name in the reports. What's your name?"
Xue Rui paused for a moment, then finally blurted out a name, "Zheng Li".
So Xue Rui quietly went to open the door. It was quiet outside and no one was there. He went out to check first and only let Zhao Mingxin out after confirming that it was safe.
This is the inpatient building, but it's located at the very edge of the building that was destroyed by a bomb, and it happens to be on the first floor. Walking out of the corridor here leads directly to the door outside.
The two arrived outside with virtually no obstacles. There were hardly any people outside now; everyone was dealing with the area that had been blown up.
The rest of the people were guarding the walls and gates, and the few remaining people were with the vice president.
Xue Rui watched as Zhao Mingxin quickly found a sewer entrance and nimbly climbed in. Xue Rui helped him fix the cover from the outside so that no one would notice that the sewer had been tampered with.
The hospital's sewers were all dry, I don't know if they hadn't been used for a long time. The hospital looked dilapidated on the outside, although the inside was very new.
But Xue Rui always felt that this hospital seemed to be a converted abandoned hospital.
