Tonight, temperatures across the country have suddenly plummeted, dropping from around -50 degrees Celsius to around -60 degrees Celsius.
Even in the southernmost part of our country, temperatures suddenly dropped, and heavy snow and strong winds swept through.
Many small bases on the ground have experienced deaths from freezing, with each base reporting at least four-figure deaths.
This dramatic drop in temperature not only claimed the lives of many humans but also many bizarre species, especially those in tropical regions, which were almost entirely frozen to death overnight. (Except for higher-level bizarre species.)
This should be considered the only good news.
Nanjing University of Science and Technology.
It was four in the morning, and the entire Nanjing University of Science and Technology was experiencing heavy snowfall. Apart from the sound of snow falling, there was nothing else in the city.
Two figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of a hospital.
These two were none other than Ye Ling and Wen Mengxia.
Neither of them was afraid of the cold. Even in sub-zero temperatures of -60 degrees Celsius, they were only wearing regular down jackets and snow boots.
As for Wen Yanchen and Ye Jinyan, Ye Ling left them in the space to repair the chains, and didn't let them out.
Although they weren't afraid of the cold, the heavy snow was still uncomfortable, so they each carried an umbrella.
Holding up her black umbrella, Wen Mengxia ignored the heavy snowfall and looked at the dark and eerie hospital gate in front of her. She said, "Lingling, you can see ghosts. This place is so gloomy, are there many ghosts around?"
Ye Ling stood next to her with an umbrella. Hearing this, she scratched the back of her neck with her other hand and said, "Well, Sister Wen, although I'm not afraid of ghosts now, discussing this at four in the morning in front of a hospital with a lot of eerie energy still makes my hair stand on end."
Upon hearing this, Wen Mengxia suddenly squeezed under her umbrella and hugged her arm tightly: "I was just talking nonsense to lighten the mood, but your answer clearly hit the nail on the head!"
While absorbing the remnant souls and evil energy floating around, Ye Ling asked Wen Mengxia, "Are you still coming in with me? This hospital is the only one among the top-tier hospitals here that was least damaged by the earthquake."
Zhou Li mentioned that Nanjing University of Science and Technology has six top-tier hospitals, each with its own pharmacy. But this pharmacy is the largest. I just checked; there are indeed quite a few medical supplies here, but due to the earthquake, the warehouse was moved to the morgue.”
"The morgue?!"
Wen Mengxia hugged her even tighter.
Ye Ling chuckled, "You've seen so many corpses, what are you afraid of in the morgue?"
Wen Mengxia closed her eyes and whispered, "A corpse is a corpse, and a ghost is a ghost. They cannot be compared!"
Ye Ling chuckled: "Alright, alright. So, are you still going in?"
Wen Mengxia took a deep breath, opened her eyes, put away her umbrella, and said stubbornly, "Go ahead, I came out to keep you company."
Anyway, with you here, I won't get hurt, and since I can't see, there's nothing to be afraid of.
"...Let's go then."
I hope you can still be so stubborn later.
She hadn't taken more than a few steps when she realized that Wen Mengxia had practically become her accessory, moving her whole body forward on top of her.
She smiled, then let the woman carry her inside.
Although the hospital wasn't severely damaged, there were still many rubble and cracks inside.
Because Wen Mengxia lacked spiritual power and couldn't see through things, Ye Ling took a flashlight from her spatial storage before she went in.
Upon entering the first floor, Wen Mengxia looked around and said, "It looks like this place has been robbed; it's a mess, and there's a lot of blood on it."
Ye Ling: "It could also be traces of a battle."
She was about to remind Wen Mengxia not to look up when she saw Wen Mengxia already looking up, holding a flashlight and staring at the second and third floors. "Oh my..."
Wen Mengxia almost swore, then quickly lowered her head and buried her face in Ye Ling's shoulder, her voice trembling slightly: "Lingling, those things up there, are they corpses?"
"Um."
Upon receiving Ye Ling's affirmative answer, Wen Mengxia was somewhat devastated.
That one glance almost scared me to death; there were many corpses in white coats hanging above them, swaying back and forth.
Preliminary assessment suggests there are at least thirty such corpses on board.
A chill ran from her tailbone straight to the top of her head. Her limbs went numb, her hair stood on end, and her legs almost gave way.
It's no wonder she reacted so strongly; anyone would go crazy if they saw such a scene for the first time.
She didn't faint, didn't have a heart attack, and didn't go crazy from fright, which means she's already won 90% of the battle.
If she had been to a long-distance bus station before, perhaps she wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
Ye Ling silently raised the umbrella, and with her other hand she placed it on her vest, transmitting some life force into her body to drive away her fear and negative energy.
She led Wen Mengxia back to the bottom of the escalator and told her to "close your eyes."
Wen Mengxia quickly did as instructed.
With a wave of her hand, Ye Ling caused the corpses in mid-air to fall to the ground one by one.
The lobby on the first floor was soon filled with corpses.
These bodies were all doctors and nurses. Ye Ling didn't understand why so many doctors and nurses died here. Didn't they leave when the earthquake happened?
No, that's not right either. If they died from an earthquake, their white coats wouldn't be so clean. It's more like they were deliberately hung here.
Hearing something fall, Wen Mengxia asked, "Did you bring the body down?"
"Um."
Do you know how they died? Can you see their ghosts?
Looking at the corpses with their pained expressions, Ye Ling remained silent for a long time before saying, "They don't have any fatal wounds; it's as if their souls were forcibly sucked away."
Due to the climate, the bodies showed no signs of decay. As for their ghosts, I didn't see any. Let's go to the medicine storehouse first, and then cremate the bodies afterward.”
Wen Mengxia couldn't wait to leave, so she and Ye Ling headed towards the medicine storehouse, or rather, the morgue.
