58 Monsters [Update 2]
◎The ending is already determined◎
Qi Qiuxue and others followed the dean into the elevator.
Just as the dean said, there was a hidden area at the bottom of the elevator button area. He stuck his permission card there. With a "beep", the metal plate used to cover it moved up, revealing the three buttons hidden underneath.
There are actually three floors in the underground area.
"Are there all monsters in there?" Qi Qiuxue frowned silently.
"Yes." The dean nodded and began to explain. "The danger level of the monsters on each floor varies, with -1 being the lowest and -3 being the highest. But regardless of their level, their attack power is far greater than that of a patient with an average mutation."
"The viruses in their bodies have undergone infinite mutation and evolution." At this point, the dean smiled sinisterly. "Ordinary guns or drugs have no effect on them at all."
"They are my greatest inventions and creations. Currently, there is no antidote that can completely eliminate the viruses in their bodies."
Qi Qiuxue paused and said, "Does this mean that there's no chance they'll ever return to normal?"
The dean laughed: "You can say that."
After they finished speaking, Li Yiqing, Wu Shanyue and others behind them looked at each other. Until now, they finally had a general understanding of what kind of monster they were going to face.
How to clear out such a large number of extremely harmful monsters is a difficult problem. Fortunately, they are all being kept together at this moment, so there is no risk of them escaping for the time being.
The elevator slowly stopped at the -1 floor. The dean and several others got off the elevator and came to the metal door at the front.
He looked at Qi Qiuxue, his narrow eyes filled with attentiveness: "We're here."
"You come and open the door." Qi Qiuxue said.
"No problem." The dean walked forward slowly and obediently. As the most important area in the hospital, it not only required a card with the highest authority, but also his pupil pattern to open it successfully.
Qi Qiuxue kept a close eye on him, guarding against any small moves that might endanger everyone's safety, but from beginning to end, the dean remained honest and seemed to have no ill intentions.
Until the door in front of him finally opened, he walked into a deeper area.
What appeared before my eyes was a long corridor that stretched as far as the eye could see. On both sides of the corridor were cells of various sizes, all with sturdy and sealed metal doors and electronic locks. Standing in the corridor, I could clearly hear the heavy breathing and growls of the monsters.
Even though she hadn't seen the monster's true appearance, such a scene was enough to make her hair stand on end. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but Qi Qiuxue felt that the temperature inside the door seemed to be much lower than outside.
The dean looked back and smiled in the direction of the few people: "Please come in."
His smile seemed somewhat malicious. Qi Qiuxue looked at him, and an indescribable strange feeling gradually spread in her heart.
"Do you want to go in?" Li Yiqing seemed to have sensed something and asked Qi Qiuxue for her opinion.
"Go ahead." If they stayed any longer, they would never complete the mission. Qi Qiuxue lowered her voice and warned the players, "Be careful."
"Okay." Everyone nodded and finally stepped into the area behind the door.
Time seemed to be silent here, and the smile on the dean's lips gradually deepened. After a brief silence, a deafening alarm sounded in the corridor.
[Alarm, alarm, intruder detected, about to block the gate, activate level one protection mode.]
[Alarm, alarm, intruder detected, about to block the gate, activate level one protection mode.]
“…”
The overhead broadcasting equipment played this sentence in a loop. The door behind them suddenly closed before everyone could react. Lu Jin, who was at the end of the team, turned around suddenly and found that there was no handle on the inside of this huge metal door.
Of course, there was no display screen or door lock. It was closed tightly, leaving no chance for people inside to escape. But this was not the scariest thing. The scariest thing was that they heard bursts of continuous "clicking" sounds.
That was the sound of metal door locks being unlocked, and all the rooms containing monsters in sight were opened.
Zhu Lan grabbed the dean by the collar. At this moment, even the dullest person could understand what was happening: "You want to die with us?! Are you going to die?"
Faced with her threats and curses, the dean just laughed hysterically. He had been running Rock Saint for so many years and had already understood human nature very thoroughly. Not to mention how true or false Qi Qiuxue's words were, even if they were true, she would definitely not let him go as easily as she promised.
His fate was either to be handed over to the police or to be killed after becoming useless. Either way, he would have no chance of survival. In this case, he might as well choose his own way of death.
"Whether I intervened or not, your fate will be the same." The dean laughed heartily, and the long-imprisoned monsters began to stir. "Even before we established the underground area, I had already recorded the appearance, fingerprints, and information of every employee in the hospital. It was all for this day."
"If it were me and other staff members here today, there wouldn't be any danger at all. But you are different. You are strangers, intruders, and you are here to steal my research results and profits!"
"You won't make it out of here alive. With each floor you descend, the monsters imprisoned in the cells will be released, gnawing at your flesh and shredding your soul. The only way to completely leave here is on the last floor, and I'm sure you won't make it to that point."
“…”
As he spoke, monsters of all shapes and sizes swarmed out in an instant. Most of them still vaguely resembled their former selves: strong humans, huge or agile animals... Advanced viruses that were countless times more powerful than primary viruses corroded their bodies, causing them to lose their original appearance, become uncontrollable, and become ferocious and terrifying.
The dean struggled hard to break free from Zhu Lan's control and rushed into the group of monsters without looking back. In just a moment, he seemed to have fallen into a bottomless swamp and completely disappeared from sight.
All that could be heard was the sound of him being torn and bitten, his blood splattering, staining the surrounding walls and ground red. Later, the monsters' brutal behavior finally stopped.
Among the group of monsters, a bloody human figure slowly stood up. It was the dean. He was infected by the monsters' body fluids and had become a member of their group.
"This damn villain!" Zhu Lan was furious. He took out the gun on his waist and shot at the monsters in front of him with rapid movements.
Before coming, in order to prevent any emergencies, they made a lot of preparations. Not only did they carry a lot of guns and bullets, they also prepared a large number of antidotes in advance. But as the dean said in the elevator, no matter how powerful the gun was, it could not cause any harm to the monster in front of them.
At the critical moment, Wu Shanyue took out the weapon she got from the copy, her pistol. Her shooting skills were very accurate. The bullet shot out from the muzzle and penetrated the monster's head at an extremely fast speed. This shot was very powerful and three humanoid monsters died.
Wu Shanyue, still in shock, spoke quickly, "Good news! The weapons we have can be put to good use."
"Bad news...we don't have enough ammunition."
