Next, Dr. Feng took Lin Mo to find Mr. Ma’s ward.
This is the best and most expensive intensive care unit in the hospital, and the interior is similar to a suite.
The door of the room seemed to be damaged by something, most likely the ghost baby, but this made it convenient for Lin Mo and the others to go in and investigate.
In the room, they found a dead body.
This man died in a very artistic way. He was lying face down on the ceiling. Half of his body was covered by the mold on the ceiling, completely merging with the mold.
"This person seems to be Mr. Ma's secretary." Doctor Feng stared at the corpse and said this with a look of horror on his face.
Seeing someone familiar become like this must be a huge shock.
Lin Mo had something in mind. He glanced at Li Feng, who had a frown on his face. It seemed that he was thinking the same thing as Lin Mo.
The abdomen of the corpse on the ceiling had been completely cut open, and the internal organs were gone. But if you look closely, you will find that the belly of the corpse was not destroyed from the outside.
Rather, it came from the inside, as if something was forcibly bursting out of the abdomen.
"That kind of mold seems to have originated from here." Lin Mo said.
This is not a random guess. The mold in this room is the most dense, and you can even see the roots entangled, which is most likely the source of the mold.
And the source of the fire in the room was the corpse on the ceiling.
If you look closely, you can see mold growing out of the body, even in the eyes, nose and ears.
"If we burn this corpse, can we stop the growth of mold?" Li Feng said at this time.
Lin Mo glanced at him, then said to Dr. Feng, "Please find some more alcohol, the more the better."
Li Feng's idea was the same as Lin Mo's.
The mold outside is constantly growing, and the contaminated area will continue to expand. Lin Mo insisted on coming in to investigate, with the intention of finding the source of the pollution.
Lin Mo had observed outside before, so he was sure that the source of the mold was in this inpatient building.
So it doesn't matter whether this room and this body are the source of the mold.
Yes, of course it is a good thing, but even if it is not, it doesn’t matter. Lin Mo plans to burn down the entire hospital building next.
If it doesn't work, then find a way to burn down the entire hospital projection area.
Just destroy the growing mold.
Of course, finding some survivors and saving them is another purpose of Lin Mo's trip.
However, in the current situation, the possibility that there are other survivors in the residential building is very small.
They found a lot of alcohol, and the three men also found some flammable materials such as bed sheets and paper, sprinkled alcohol on them, and piled them on the ground.
Lin Mo took out a brick and shook it.
Flames appeared, Lin Mo raised his hand and ignited the corpse on the ceiling first.
Alcohol had been poured on the body and it caught fire easily.
The flammable materials piled below also ignited, and the whole house was soon engulfed in flames.
In the flames, large amounts of mold on the roof were burned into pieces and fell off. Faintly, some strange roars, like screams, could be heard.
Lin Mo and the other two immediately retreated. After a short while, the flames had spread to the outside of the building and were burning more and more vigorously.
It seems that burning this layer will not be a problem.
Next, even if the entire building cannot be burned down, burning down most of the inpatient building should not be a problem.
The three of them went downstairs together.
When I got downstairs and looked up, I could see the eighth floor, with flames surging and thick smoke billowing.
From time to time, burning debris and walls fell down.
There is no choice but to continue retreating to a safe area.
The fire situation was just as Lin Mo expected.
In the dim nightmare world, the burning flames seemed to be a beacon, dispelling some of the darkness.
Half an hour later.
“The mold stopped spreading.”
"We can be considered to have done something meritorious this time, right?" Li Feng said.
"Of course it counts." Lin Mo looked at the edges of the surrounding projection area.
It has expanded a bit more than before, involving some residential areas and other buildings, but the Security Bureau has already made sufficient plans, and all personnel within a radius of five kilometers from the center of the contaminated area have been evacuated.
Therefore, even if the projection area expands, no one will be involved, so no new nightmares will be born.
In the past half hour, Lin Mo and the other two had been searching for the mold while also looking for Mr. Ma's whereabouts.
But the other party seemed to have disappeared and could not be found.
"I suspect that this pollution was caused by that guy." Li Feng expressed his own judgment.
"Be more confident and get rid of your doubts." Lin Mo was completely sure.
Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?
The source of the pollution was Mr. Ma's secretary, who was completely parasitized by mold and died in a very tragic way. He himself became a source of pollution. The mold growing from his body also had a polluting effect, growing and spreading disorderly.
After the corpse was burned, the mold stopped growing and even died in large areas.
It is impossible for a secretary to become a source of pollution for no reason.
Someone must have done it on purpose.
Coincidentally, Mr. Ma was a wealthy man and had enough money to do all this.
The motivation is simple too.
He is going to die soon.
In the real world, his body has reached its limit and can only be discarded. After that, he can choose to continue living in the nightmare world.
Thus, a simple conjecture is established.
A wealthy man with assets worth more than one billion, when he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was about to die, chose to use money to exchange for "rebirth" in a nightmare world.
This inference is reasonable for a person who is trying to survive, but for a human being, it is extremely selfish and unscrupulous.
However, there are still many unsolved mysteries.
For example, Mr. Ma himself cannot do this. Where does the pollution come from? How can he ensure that he can continue to survive after entering the nightmare world?
This must be helped by an expert.
So who was the person who did this business with Mr. Ma? Also, the secretary should have been just a tool, but something was clearly coming out of his abdomen.
What is it? Lin Mo initially deduced that it was a nightmare, and it might even be the black hand nightmare that came out of the moldy spot before.
This nightmare was extremely dangerous. No one knew what the attack method was. Lin Mo suffered a loss at the first encounter. If it weren't for the red balloon, he might have died.
That's why Lin Mo chose to avoid the spotlight temporarily.
Outside the hospital, in a residential building, Lin Mo was settling Dr. Feng.
This time, Lin Mo did not hide the fact that Dr. Feng had died in the real world, but explained the situation in detail.
Dr. Feng obviously found it difficult to accept the fact that he was dead.
"I'm dead?"
"It's just in the real world." Lin Mo tried to put it on the bright side: "Doctor Feng, think about it, Mr. Ma spent billions of his wealth, just to survive in this world, and you got it in an instant, and you didn't have to spend more than a billion. What a good deal, isn't it?"
"But……"
"Think about it. Even our top management said that it's only a matter of time before the nightmare world completely breaks out. By then, everyone will have to enter the nightmare world, without exception. You just came a year or two earlier than them. It's a bit lonely, but the timing is good. You can accumulate abilities and connections first. By the time others come in, you might already be a big boss."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, Dr. Feng was speechless. He felt that what the other party said made sense.
"But I'm alone and I can't protect myself if I encounter danger." Dr. Feng realized his biggest problem, and the big problem facing him.
Survivability.
