"What happened?"
As soon as Shen Yanqing finished speaking, he saw countless black centipedes crawling in through the crack in the door.
Those centipedes were completely black, and they were clearly not ordinary centipedes.
Song Anze's expression changed slightly: "Stay away from those things, they are all Gu worms."
He had studied these things before and was very familiar with them.
Gu Baiwei's expression changed upon hearing this. She still remembered how painful it was for Song Anze to remove the Gu poison from her body when she was poisoned before.
The thought of that pain made her tremble uncontrollably.
Noticing her unusual behavior, Chen reached out and took her hand: "Sister Weiwei, don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you."
Ye Chuyue's face also turned pale; these things looked quite creepy.
Song Anze took out a small glass bottle from his pocket.
He bent down and sprinkled all the white powder on the ground, as if drawing a dividing line between the crowd and the Gu worms.
Strangely, when the Gu worms crawled to a spot a little in front of the white powder, they seemed to be afraid and just circled around in circles, not daring to go any closer.
Mr. Chen's eyes lit up: "Dr. Song, do you still have this medicine powder?"
Song Anze shook his head: "I only brought this one bottle."
He discovered this by chance when he was researching an antidote for Gu Baiwei.
As long as these medicinal powders are sprinkled on those Gu worms, they will quickly turn into a pool of blood.
The problem is that most of the successfully developed powder is kept in the laboratory, and the bottle he has on him is one he casually carried with him to verify its effects.
Just then, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside the door.
A nurse stumbled in from outside the door.
Upon seeing the people inside, he immediately rushed forward excitedly, pleading, "Save me! Please, save me!"
Gu Baiwei then noticed that the nurse's body was covered with black centipedes, and her skin had an abnormally dark purple color.
Just then, a centipede crawled under the nurse's eyelid and was about to burrow into her eye.
She shook her head violently in terror, frantically trying to shake the centipede off.
But the centipede seemed to have suction cups on its body, clinging firmly to her. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake it off, and it kept trying to burrow into her eyes.
Witnessing this scene, the expressions on the faces of the people present were rather unpleasant.
At that moment, the nurse tripped over something, lost her balance, and fell heavily to the ground, her face buried in the white powder.
The black centipede on her face twitched and shrank into a ball, then fell off her face with a thud into the white powder, turning into a pool of blood in a matter of moments.
The nurse was overjoyed and frantically began shoveling white powder onto the ground.
It was too late for Da Tou to stop it.
"Hahaha, they're all mine, they're all mine..."
With a maniacal smile, she grabbed some white powder and stuffed it directly into her mouth, then frantically continued grabbing and stuffing it in.
As she was being stuffed in, she suddenly screamed and looked down in disbelief, only to see something writhing wildly inside her lower abdomen.
The next moment, several smaller centipedes bit through her skin and crawled out, dripping blood.
The nurse stared in disbelief, then saw countless centipedes crawling out of her stomach.
She struggled to turn her head to look at Gu Baiwei and the others, letting out a hoarse murmur of resentment: "Save...save me..."
With a soft "plop," a centipede the size of a whole palm crawled out of her stomach.
The nurse stared wide-eyed in horror, her head lolled to the side, and she lost all life.
Everyone present looked rather grim as they witnessed this scene.
That palm-sized centipede was different from other centipedes; it was entirely crimson, a bright, translucent red.
It greedily lay on the nurse's corpse, gnawing on her flesh.
Gu Baiwei felt her stomach churning and uncontrollably clutched her chest, dry heaving.
Shen Yanqing quickly helped her up: "Weiwei, are you alright?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several centipedes trying to break through the area where the white powder was sparse.
He immediately disregarded everything else and turned to ask Song Anze, "Is there any way to attract all these things at once?"
Looking at the centipede gnawing on the corpse, Song Anze said uncertainly, "These things must be bloodthirsty."
Shen Yanqing's gaze fell on the fruit knife on the bedside table. Without hesitation, he picked it up, made a cut on his palm, clenched his fist tightly, and bright red blood dripped from his palm onto the ground.
The centipedes that were originally clinging to the corpse and feeding on it were immediately attracted. The largest red centipede was the fastest and had already crawled to the side of the white powder in the blink of an eye.
It chose a spot with the least amount of powder, paused for a moment, and then tentatively crawled over.
Once it successfully crawled over, the centipedes behind it followed closely behind.
Seeing that the things were gathering, Shen Yanqing's eyes darkened, and he ordered Da Tou, "Quickly find something to start a fire, and the rest of you take the opportunity to leave this place."
Big Head quickly scanned the room, ripped off all the sheets and blankets from the hospital bed, piled them up, and pulled a lighter from his pocket, ready to light it at any moment.
Li Nanxing looked around and suggested, "This is the second floor, not too high. How about we go out through the window?"
The entrance is surrounded by those things; there's no way to get out.
Song Anze exchanged a glance with him, then tore down the remaining sheets and curtains, tied them together, and lowered them down the window until he felt they were about right. He then said to the three women, "We two will hold them up from above, you can go down from here first."
The second floor wasn't too high, but it was still quite challenging for the three of them who didn't have much practical experience.
Chen gritted his teeth and stepped forward first: "I'll go down and meet you."
As she spoke, she grabbed the bed sheet with both hands and tentatively lowered herself down little by little.
Li Nanxing's back injury hadn't healed yet, and when Chen was almost on the ground, his hand trembled and he almost lost his grip.
He gritted his teeth, wrapped the sheet around his arm, and continued to persevere.
"Li Nanxing, are you alright?"
Ye Chuyue's gaze fell on his bleeding back, her tone tinged with worry.
Li Nanxing gritted her teeth: "Sister Yue, I'm fine."
Song Anze glanced at it as well and urged, "Quickly, you all get down here."
"Auntie, you can go downstairs now."
Ye Chuyue stood in front of the two and reached out to grab the "rope".
With an extra bit of support, Mom will be more stable when she goes down.
"No, Yueyue, you go down first."
"No, you go first."
Just as the two were at an impasse, Big Head's expression suddenly changed: "Quick, get down here! I'm going to light the fire! Those things are coming again!"
