"I'll go with you. I don't need to sleep." A swallowed back what he was about to say, stood up and walked to Su Qiong's side, "Let's go."
"Huh?" Code was surprised and tried to teach A a lesson. "You are a human, and humans need sleep."
"Humans have different sleep needs. I'm a soldier trained by the state. Have you ever heard of a soldier before?"
Soldiers refer specifically to the top-level fighters in the country's core teams who are trained as weapons.
Their physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary humans. They can launch self-destructive attacks when necessary, and one person is comparable to an army.
As the most perfect soldier in the world, not sleeping for three or four days is normal for him.
Su Qiong: "You are really amazing. No wonder the system assigned you to such a difficult dungeon."
In order to balance the gap between players, the system will arrange hell copies for top players.
AThe focus is on the first half of the sentence. After hearing Su Jing boast about how good he was, his mental state, which had been tormented by the garbage dungeon for four days, improved a little.
Then, Su Qiong softly asked, "By the way, what's your name?"
The player being guided did not fill in the ID, so it was difficult to find a suitable name for the code.
After hearing his question, A was silent for half a minute.
Su Jing observed him and seemed to feel that A's expression was more solemn than when he was killing everyone last night.
There was a long silence in the air before A replied in a deep voice, "A, my work code name."
Because it is difficult to reveal his real name, A only tells others his code name every time he performs a mission.
Even the instructors and comrades who were with him day and night had to call him by his code name.
Su Qiong: "Don't you have a real name? I have both."
Modeling is very perfunctory code, and finding a sense of superiority in inexplicable places.
A: “…”
A has been in the hospital dungeon for four days and is very familiar with the hospital terrain.
This hospital is relatively small, and all patients and medical staff are concentrated in one building.
Su Jing followed A out of the ward and saw a distribution map of the hospital's departments on the wall. The paper printed on the map was particularly new.
The new drawings show that the entire building is divided into four floors, each of which can accommodate approximately 15-20 standard-sized wards.
The hospital has an outpatient department on the first floor, an examination and treatment department on the second floor, an inpatient department on the third floor, and a logistics department and hospital cafeteria on the fourth floor.
A is a long-term inpatient and his ward is on the third floor.
Apart from the outpatient department where the most people are active, it is relatively convenient for him to go to the other two floors.
With A's ability, four days are enough for him to turn every corner of the hospital upside down.
Su Qiong: "So, you didn't find any clues at all?"
"Wrong. I found many clues, but they are of no help to the main mission." A walked out of the ward, leaning against the wall to avoid the crowd, and answered Su Qiang as he walked, "On the first day, I discovered that the medical staff in the hospital were smuggling expensive drugs. They sold the expensive drugs allocated to the hospital by the state to drug dealers, and then used glucose or yeast tablets to treat patients as expensive drugs. At night, I sneaked into the dean's office and exposed the matter in the dean's name through the Internet.
"The next day, I discovered illegal human trafficking taking place in the dungeon. After the restrictions were lifted that evening, I busted their trading den."
"Starting from the third night, the remaining personnel in the hospital underwent a large-scale mutation, transforming into their true selves, and their combat effectiveness skyrocketed."
"By last night, they had completely transformed into monsters that could only attack indiscriminately, so I killed all the mutants."
After listening to this, Su Jing slowly typed a few question marks.
He originally thought that there were no hidden tasks in the hospital copy.
Now it seems that even if there was one, it was "conveniently" completed by A.
"In addition, I also got an important prop." A stopped and took out a tattered piece of paper from his pocket.
Su Jing took the tattered paper and unfolded it.
"Hospital map?" Su Jian studied the map carefully. The paper was very old and must be quite old.
But the place drawn in the picture is definitely this hospital.
Su Qiong placed it next to the new topographic map and found that the floor layout was roughly the same. However, the old map had an extra floor in addition to the original four floors - the intensive care unit.
The intensive care unit is not clearly located on which floor and is in a free state.
The positions of the other four floors are fixed. If the intensive care unit occupies a floor, the floor above it will be moved upwards according to the rules.
For example, if the intensive care unit is on the first floor, the outpatient department and other upper-level departments will be moved to the second floor. The intensive care unit is on the third floor, and the inpatient department and logistics canteen will be moved up, and so on.
Therefore, A had known about the existence of the intensive care unit for a long time, but had never found its specific location.
"A, has the hospital been rebuilt?"
When A heard him call his code name in a cute and soft voice, the tension and pressure accumulated in the past few days gradually eased.
Even with professional training, it is difficult to remain nervous when facing a marshmallow.
A answered affirmatively, "No. I looked through the files in the dean's office and checked thoroughly four or five times."
"Since the hospital has not been rebuilt, the intensive care unit must exist. I guess it should be the breakthrough point, and we must find a way to find the intensive care unit." Su Jian held the topographic map in his hand, leaned out of the window, and first looked up.
The upstairs floor is the cafeteria. At breakfast time, all the patients flock to the drinking water room in the cafeteria.
There were too many patients in the hospital, far exceeding the capacity of the cafeteria. Patients who had no place to sit picked up large water cups and climbed to the rooftop to gulp down the water.
All the patients were desperately drinking water, and no one put down their cups even though their stomachs were as bulging as those of pregnant women.
It feels like I will die if I drink less water.
Su Jing could see clearly that the ceiling of the cafeteria was the floor of the rooftop, and the entire rooftop was completely open to the sky, so it should not be counted as the fifth floor.
Su Jing held onto the edge of the window and looked downstairs thoughtfully.
"Don't look for it anymore." A grabbed Su Jian's collar and pulled him back. "Like you, I've considered the basement. The night before last, before I killed those monsters, I forced them to dig out the ground under the outpatient clinic, but they found nothing."
"Are you a devil?" Before killing them, they would force them to do hard labor.
A: "Then you go?"
The weak and helpless loser quickly shook his head.
Since A took extreme measures but still couldn't find the fifth floor, Su Jian, who had no special abilities, was even more helpless.
"Anyway, let's ask other people first, maybe we can find some useful clues. There should be some elderly people in the hospital who know about the situation, right?"
After Su Jing finished speaking, A's eyes showed a hint of hesitation.
"It's useless, don't waste your energy." A raised his eyes and looked at the medical staff and patients who came and passed by one after another.
They all held large water cups in their hands, talking and laughing with each other, but ignored A.
Su Jian noticed that the patient's hospital gown was clean, but water was seeping out from under the clothes.
Someone walked right past A and bumped into him.
Leaving behind wet marks, but there was no reaction on his face.
Su Jing finally realized that no one had ever spoken to A in the copy world.
Even though Su Jing didn't understand the human world very well, he knew that something was wrong.
Warm sunlight shines into the hospital through the glass, illuminating every corner.
The hospital was bustling with people coming and going, and every scene seemed extremely normal.
Only A is isolated.
It's like the only whale in a group of whales whose calls have a different frequency.
Even though he met friends everywhere in the ocean, no one could understand his voice.
A said calmly, "You're the only one who spoke to me since we entered the dungeon."
Last night, even without turning on the large-scale scan, A could still sense that Su Jian was different from the others in the dungeon.
Su Jian could see himself and talk to him.
"Huh? Don't other people talk to you?"
A didn't answer, but raised his wrist to open the player control panel.
The system gives preferential treatment to top players. Even during the period of restricted superpowers, A can still use regular functions.
A uses the normal function of the bracelet to turn on the surveillance video of his room.
When it was time for ward rounds, the nurse gently knocked on the door of Ward A and went straight to the bedside.
A was outside, some distance away from the ward, and the bed was empty.
The nurse opened the medical record, smiled, called out an unfamiliar name, and asked about his condition.
"Mr. S, you are very ill. You must take good care of yourself and remember to drink more water. You must drink more water." The nurse's tone was gentle, like a spring breeze.
"She comes to check on me every day and talks to the air." A looked at the side coldly and said calmly, "On the first day, she called me the wrong name, and I foolishly tried to correct her."
Su Jing could imagine such a scene.
At the beginning of the last copy, he had no language ability.
Every time, when Yu Qimiao and the others were discussing heatedly, Su Jian would become the ignored background board.
A's current situation is obviously worse than his.
In the Gangan Village dungeon, although Su Jian cannot get a word in, players will still take care of him every now and then.
And A has been erased from existence by the entire copy.
"Is it because of the water?" Su Qiong asked worriedly, "Have you ever drunk the water here?"
A replied, "No."
"Oh no. The dungeon has been open for four and a half days. IF is incredibly realistic. If you don't drink some water, you're going to die."
Based on Su Jing's understanding of humans, A's ability to go without water for four and a half days has exceeded the limits of the human body.
Su Qi asked again, "Is there a time limit for the copy?"
"There's only a day and a half left. I have to leave before the novice area collapses. We don't have much time left." A took long strides and walked towards the safe passage at the end of the corridor.
"A, where are you going?" Su Qiong followed him and asked, "The elevator to the lower floor is on the other side."
“Try not to take the elevator,” A said without turning back. “Elevators are so weird.”
"Huh? Is that strange?" Su Jing looked towards the elevator.
Many patients lined up and entered the elevator in an orderly manner without any abnormalities.
Su Jing hesitated for a moment and decided to follow A and walk down the empty stairs.
They are located on the third floor, only two floors away from the outpatient department on the first floor. It takes about three minutes to go downstairs, and taking the elevator is definitely faster.
When Su Jing passed by the second floor, he stuck his head out and looked around.
The entire second floor was so quiet that it seemed as if the sound of falling leaves could cause an echo.
A explained, "The second floor is only open when there are patients receiving examinations. However, over the past few days, patients inside and outside the hospital have basically only been coming for outpatient treatment."
"I see." Su Qiong tried to open the locked treatment room, but found that the door panel did not budge, and there was no way to get in through the gap. He had to give up for the time being and followed A downstairs.
Ding Dong—
The two people reached the first floor and just heard the sound of the elevator door opening.
Su Jing subconsciously looked over and saw the figures who had been queuing on the third floor through the tiny crack in the door.
strangeness.
Taking the elevator should be much faster than climbing the stairs, so why did they come down so late?
The elevator door made of alloy material seems to have a tendency to bulge outward, and the bottom slot is deformed, so the door opening speed is extremely slow.
It wasn't until the door slid completely open that the passengers inside squeezed out at the same time.
Su Jian took a half step back and looked at the mass in disbelief.
Semi-liquid human brick.
The bricks pressed down so tightly that they bounced twice on the ground but didn't break apart.
People riding the elevator seemed to feel no pain. They squeezed themselves in, trying their best to fill up all the space, even leaving no corners untouched.
It's like stuffing meat paste that far exceeds the capacity into a square mold and then pressing it hard.
Su Jian carefully identified the "human brick".
Their bodies are incredibly flexible, their limbs tangled together, their bellies squeezed into various shapes to fill gaps.
Some people on the edge showed signs of severe liquefaction.
The individuals that made up the human bricks seemed to feel no pain. They skillfully dismantled their tangled bodies, then maintained their distorted appearance and walked towards the outpatient department like zombies.
Everyone holds a medical record in their hands, waiting for the outpatient doctor to treat them.
Su Jian looked at the medical record of one of the patients and the cause of the disease was just two words:
'Water shortage.'
"Ding Di—"
Su Jing's bracelet flashed twice, triggering the first prompt of the hospital copy.
[Clues: 1. Full name of hospital, 2. Intensive care unit, 3. Medical records.]
