49 Gunshots
◎Blow it and it will stop hurting◎
There are no windows in the dormitory, and the only way to prevent everyone from continuing to inhale the gas is to temporarily block the exhaust vent.
Qi Qiuxue looked around, quickly opened the cabinet in the corner, pulled out a few replacement sheets, and blocked the exhaust vent.
The gas inside was completely blocked inside the pipe. Qi Qiuxue listened carefully and could still hear the sound of airflow coming from inside.
It seems that it was not because everyone slept too deeply last night, but because they inhaled too much gas. This gas is probably not toxic, otherwise they would have more or less experienced some discomfort after waking up this morning. Its effect should only be to make people fall into a coma and difficult to wake up easily.
Fortunately, because she discovered it in time, the amount everyone inhaled tonight was very small.
"Axue..." Perhaps he heard some voice, Li Yiqing woke up the next second and rubbed his dizzy head. "What's going on? Why am I so dizzy?"
"What are you doing?" She looked over in a daze and saw Qi Qiuxue standing by the wall, doing something unknown. Li Yiqing tried to go over to help, but she staggered as soon as she stood up.
"Don't come over here yet. Wait a minute." Qi Qiuxue stopped her from moving forward and briefly explained the situation. "Wait until the effects of the drug wear off before taking any action."
"Okay." Li Yiqing nodded. He hadn't expected the hospital to secretly administer drugs while they were asleep. He couldn't help but frown. "What on earth are they plotting?!"
She pinched herself hard to force herself to wake up quickly. In the dim light from the desk lamp, her eyes wandered over Qi Qiuxue.
She quickly noticed Qi Qiuxue's injured left leg.
"Axue!" She exclaimed softly, her consciousness finally fully restored at this moment, "Your legs..."
"Who did this?" She hurried over and squatted in front of Qi Qiuxue to examine her carefully. Some of the blood had already solidified on Qi Qiuxue's skin, but because the bleeding had not been stopped in time, blood was still flowing out of the wound.
"I stabbed myself." Qi Qiuxue's tone was calm, as if she was not the one injured. "To wake up quickly."
"Axue." Li Yiqing was shocked and worried when he heard that. He didn't expect that Axue could even stab him when she got ruthless. "You, what are you doing..."
She was terrified and looked around helplessly and anxiously, trying to find something useful to treat her wounds.
Fortunately, the background of this copy is a hospital, and the things that are most abundant in the hospital are alcohol and bandages. Li Yiqing found these two things in the drawer and quickly took them out to carefully disinfect and bandage Qi Qiuxue.
The cold alcohol applied to the wound caused a stinging sensation, causing Qi Qiuxue to hiss unconsciously.
"Does it hurt?" Li Yiqing saw this and moved her hands more gently. She gently applied alcohol and blew on Qi Qiuxue's wound. "I'll blow on it for you. It will stop hurting."
Her breath and fingertips were warm. Maybe it was a psychological effect, but the stinging sensation from the alcohol was gradually fading. Qi Qiuxue was unable to free her hands and could not treat her wounds herself, so she could only let Li Yiqing do it.
She saw her squatting in front of her, carefully applying medicine and bandaging the wound. Her tone was filled with concern and worry. The dim light illuminated her long hair, giving the soft hair a beautiful golden glow.
Like a big dog, especially after carefully bandaging the wound, she still maintained a half-squatting posture, looking up at her pupils with her blue eyes.
"Are you feeling better?" Her eyes looked a little uneasy.
"Much better." Qi Qiuxue didn't want her to worry too much, so she opened her lips and gave a positive answer.
"That's good." Li Yiqing raised the corners of his lips as if relieved, and continued to look at her eagerly.
If Qi Qiuxue hadn't had her hands free, she would have really wanted to touch her head.
After a moment, Qi Qiuxue looked away and stopped her somewhat immoral behavior towards Li Yiqing: "A Qing, do me a favor."
Li Yiqing: "Okay, what does Xue want me to do?"
Qi Qiuxue looked up at the players who were still asleep, and instinctively felt that something was bound to happen tonight: "Help me wake them up."
-
About ten minutes later, the sound of airflow in the pipe finally disappeared, and both the inward and outward discharge had stopped.
To be on the safe side, Qi Qiuxue waited for a while before finally removing the sheet that was blocking the exhaust vent. Only a small amount of residual gas was left in the pipe, which at most made people feel a little dizzy and could be ignored.
"Axue, how are you?" Wu Shanyue asked about Qi Qiuxue's condition with concern. Several players came forward together to clean up the messy scene. Li Yiqing even carefully wiped away the blood of Qi Qiuxue that had dripped onto the ground.
It was already late at night and it was very quiet outside, with almost no sound.
But gradually, suddenly, footsteps were heard from far away. They were coming in groups, and from the sound of the footsteps, you could tell there was more than one person.
Here it comes.
"Everyone lie down!" Qi Qiuxue quickly ordered everyone, "No matter what happens, don't make a sound!"
"Okay." Li Yiqing and Wu Shanyue said in unison and lay down obediently, but Zhu Lan objected. "Do you mean to allow them to draw our blood or inject us with drugs of unknown composition?"
"What else?" Qi Qiuxue asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Let alone their identities and intentions, we don't even know what they're going to do. Acting rashly will only alert them."
Zhu Lan retorted: "But have you ever thought about what would happen if the other party injected us with poison..."
"Unlikely." Qi Qiuxue interrupted her. "If the syringe contained a truly lethal drug, we would have died last night. There's no way we'd be alive today. Furthermore, if they really wanted to kill us, why would they go to all this trouble? Wouldn't it be much simpler and quicker to just release the poison gas?"
"You've gone to so much trouble, using the sleeping pills and visiting us so late at night. I'm sure we're still of some value to the hospital. They won't let us die so easily." The footsteps were getting closer. If she continued, she would definitely be exposed. Qi Qiuxue frowned and said righteously, "Hurry and lie down!"
This time Zhu Lan finally stopped arguing and closed his eyes with everyone else.
After a while, the footsteps stopped at the door, and a man wearing a gas mask pushed the door open and walked in. The others did not come in, but stood side by side outside.
The man walked slowly into the room and gently opened the medical box he carried with him, which contained six empty syringes and a large number of needles.
Under the dim light of the desk lamp, the man skillfully assembled the syringe and needle, walked to the bed of Li Yiqing, who was closest to her, and gently rolled up her sleeves with his rubber-gloved hands.
The sharp needle pierced the skin, causing a brief stinging pain. Li Yiqing controlled his breathing and expression, as if he was still deep in sleep and unaware of it.
The bright red blood gradually filled the syringe.
The man pulled out the needle and used a cotton swab to stop Li Yiqing's bleeding. In order to prevent the other party from discovering that he was taking blood late at night, he carefully put down his sleeves for her.
She then stuck a piece of paper with "Li Yiqing" written on it on the syringe and preserved the sample properly.
Later, she drew blood from other players one after another, doing the same thing as she did to Li Yiqing.
She put the six syringes with different names on them in order, then closed the medical box, walked out of the room with light steps, and "thoughtfully" closed the door.
With her departure, the room became quiet again. Wu Shanyue was timid to begin with, and out of fear and pain, cold sweat even dripped down her temples.
The situation of the other players was not much better, but fortunately they did not gain nothing tonight, at least they knew what the hospital was doing.
It was a blood draw, and blood was drawn from each of them.
"Why?" Lu Jin was confused. "Is there something so special about our blood that it's worth them going to all this trouble?"
"Maybe." Xu Gui followed up, she became more and more convinced that this hospital must be conducting some shameful experiments.
Qi Qiuxue listened to the footsteps gradually fading away, and silently came to the door and listened attentively. It was just to take blood from the unconscious person, so why did so many people come?
So when that person just left, she quickly opened her eyes calmly and looked in the direction she left. She saw long, black things in the hands of the people guarding the door.
Like... a gun.
Qi Qiuxue frowned, and before she could even make any further guesses, she suddenly heard a loud roar coming from a ward a little further away from them.
The roar did not sound like a human sound, but more like that of some ferocious beast. It was followed by the sound of debris being knocked to the ground, heavy breathing, and violent struggling.
The group of people walking in the corridor obviously heard the sound as well. They obviously quickened their pace. The door of a ward was pushed open with force, and the low growl became more audible as they opened the door.
As if they were used to it, they were not frightened, not panicked, and did not even communicate, nor did they plan to call the night nurse or doctor.
Qi Qiuxue heard the sound of a gun being loaded.
"Bang!" A bullet penetrated the silence and shot accurately and ruthlessly into the head of the patient who was in a state of madness.
It was very effective. The roar disappeared and the whole place became quiet again, leaving only the complaints of the late night nurse.
"It's so annoying. I have to clean up the scene again."
