Chapter 110 Marine Hot Spring Comprehensive Sanatorium (Part Six)
Mingzhao decided to be more vigilant about this daily task, and could abandon it if necessary.
Sure enough, on the morning of the sixth day, I arrived at the bulletin board.
Daily task: Provide close protection to patients at night and ensure their safety.
This mission doesn't sound like it has any good intentions.
The patients would go outside for a walk at night.
If you want to protect the patient closely all night, you either have to go out with them or lock the patient in your own courtyard.
The former contradicts the employee handbook.
As for the latter, having witnessed the madness of those patients, Mingzhao didn't think he could force them not to go out.
Mingzhao told Maomao about this task.
Mao Mao hesitated for a moment.
"Give up, your daily quest success rate is already very high."
Mingzhao noticed the word "success rate".
Who is the high success rate compared to? The players who came in with her?
Perhaps it's related to the half hour that Mao Mao goes out for at the end of each day.
I wonder how the other players are doing, and whether anyone has already found a way out.
Being assigned here all by myself, I really don't have any information at all.
Perhaps it was yesterday's harsh punishment that intimidated all the patients.
The patients behaved very well.
The dolphins were much quieter, and the seagulls' tentacles stopped moving around.
Mingzhao's nursing duties went very smoothly.
By 5 p.m., all the tasks were completed.
When Maomao returned, she was told that she hadn't completed her daily tasks and there was no hot spring time today.
Mingzhao took advantage of this free time to thoroughly digest the intermediate water magic.
Without complete time, Mingzhao did not experience that much mental pressure.
In addition, the work during the day wasn't too strenuous.
When it was time to go to bed, she found it difficult to fall asleep.
Since I couldn't sleep, I decided to get up and continue my cultivation.
Mingzhao sat cross-legged on the bed and continued practicing with ice picks.
After several days of practice, she can now conjure a thin layer of ice in her palm.
The time came, and the footsteps sounded as usual, no different from any other time.
Mingzhao diverted some of his attention to listen to the sounds outside and continued practicing with the ice pick.
When I was fully awake, I realized that the nights here were exceptionally quiet.
It seemed that all other sounds, except for the enormous footsteps, were blocked out.
"ah!!!!"
Suddenly, a scream shattered the tranquility.
Immediately afterwards, the footsteps became chaotic.
The sounds of talking, running, and heavy falls to the ground were mixed together.
Mingzhao suddenly opened her eyes and got out of bed.
As I stepped out of the room, I saw that Maomao had just come out as well.
Seeing Mingzhao appear, Mao Mao was not surprised at all.
She pushed Mingzhao directly into the room and locked the door.
With Mingzhao's strength of over a hundred, he was completely powerless to resist.
"Something's happened. I'm going out to check it out. Don't go out until I get back."
After saying that, without waiting for Mingzhao's response, her presence disappeared in the courtyard.
The cabin had no windows, and Mingzhao didn't want to damage the door, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain it to Maomao later.
She could only stay in this enclosed little house, listening carefully to the sounds outside.
The sounds became more chaotic, with someone shouting in a language that Mingzhao couldn't understand.
"Bang!"
Immediately afterwards, a gunshot rang out.
Then came the sounds of metal clashing, flesh cutting, and objects crashing heavily to the ground.
After waiting a while, the sounds gradually subsided.
The outside world returned to silence.
Then, footsteps sounded again.
However, the sound of these footsteps was different from the previous ones.
Mingzhao couldn't quite put his finger on the differences.
Just then, there was a knock on her door, followed by the sound of the lock being opened.
"It's all over now, get some rest."
After unlocking the door, Maomao went back inside.
It seemed he had no intention of explaining what was happening outside to her, nor of giving her any advice.
Mingzhao waited for five minutes before going to the window.
The moon is still the same moon.
Large, full, and bright.
Under the moonlight, the procession was still moving towards the shore.
After observing for many days, Mingzhao became very familiar with this team.
She discovered that some changes had occurred within the group.
It has become much longer than before.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the last figure in the group was no longer the tall, large walrus patient.
But behind it, four more figures appeared.
The four figures stood straight, with long limbs and large heads.
He looked out of place with the rest of the team.
Mingzhao suddenly realized that it was a human.
These days, there are no mirrors in the sanatorium, and she hasn't seen a human being for many days.
This discovery sent chills down her spine.
Were these people the players who came with her?
What did they trigger that led to this situation?
Is it because they received the same daily tasks as me?
Is it still related to that [deep-sea mother worm nutrient]?
It is now clear that daily tasks cannot be trusted.
But what exactly is Maomao doing going out in the middle of the night?
Are those humans who joined the team related to her?
For the first time, Mingzhao felt so isolated and helpless; she had to meet with other players.
I didn't sleep well that night.
Fortunately, she was in good health, and the next day's work wasn't too difficult.
The daily tasks on the sixth day became even more blatant.
Daily task: Find out the truth behind the patients' nightly wanderings.
He spoke so bluntly, no longer concealing his mission.
Is completing daily quests the key to clearing dungeons?
What exactly does this search mean?
If we rashly go out and follow them, we might end up like we did last night.
But if we do nothing like yesterday, when will we be able to get out of this weird dungeon?
Mingzhao pondered these questions while eating breakfast.
Mao Mao spoke up.
"How are today's daily tasks going? Are you able to complete them?"
After everything that happened last night, Mingzhao's hard-won trust in Maomao has vanished.
"I'm going to break the caregiver code of conduct anyway, so I'm quitting."
Mao Mao didn't say anything.
At this point, patients began to walk in from outside and started queuing.
Those four humans were among them!
The four of them, dressed in the same hospital gowns as the patients, walked over in a group.
Upon seeing the pink "Deep Sea Mother Worm Nutrients" being distributed through the window, their faces displayed the same fanatical expression as the other patients.
Mingzhao took a closer look and realized that they were indeed players he had met once before.
These people, however, did not feel that anything was wrong at all.
They drank down the [Deep Sea Mother Worm Nutrients] in one gulp, their faces showing happy and satisfied expressions.
Mao Mao noticed that she was staring at those people and explained.
"The newly admitted patients have been assigned to our area. You will be in charge of them from now on."
