Chapter 36 Who is this man this time?
"Tap, tap, tap..."
The footsteps grew closer.
Ning Shuyin's body stiffened.
Compared to the yet-to-arrive "mechanical race attack," the walking threat of Loran is imminent.
Let's not even talk about the feud Ning Shuyin had with Luo Lan because of "green tea aerosol".
Lorraine has never given up seeking revenge for the fact that Gu Lei retracted the paper on the grounds of "violating research norms," which ruined Lorraine's important experiment.
Normally, it's not easy to pinpoint and catch an enemy accurately, but today is different—
Buy one get one free, bundled promotion, and free shipping to his hospital ward.
Ning Shuyin looked around, trying to find a safe way to evacuate.
At this moment, a group of doctors had already stopped in front of the ward.
"Professor Loran, the patient in ward B808 is a victim of the meteor shower, suffering only minor abrasions. Shall we proceed directly to the genetic disease intensive care unit in the next ward?"
That sentence is simply heavenly music.
This ward wasn't at the point where Lorraine needed to make an inspection.
In a flash, Ning Shuyin made a judgment—as long as Luo Lan didn't see that the person on the bed was Gu Lei, the crisis would be resolved.
Don't miss this opportunity.
She reached out, pretending to take a water glass, and bent down.
One hand pressed down on Gu Lei's shoulder, while the other hand used their body and long hair to completely block Gu Lei's face.
Her movements were fluid and seamless.
Looking in from outside the door, it looks like a girl leaning intimately over, whispering sweet nothings to her lover on the hospital bed.
Ning Shuyin glanced discreetly at the metal decorations on the headboard.
In the glare, the doctors outside the door were about to leave.
She was overjoyed.
But the next second, in the cold light of the mirror, a cold smile appeared on Loran's face.
His gaze met hers in the mirror.
Ning Shuyin had only one thought in her mind—it was all over.
“Clatter.”
The door lock clicked softly.
Lorraine pushed open the door to the ward.
Then, his voice, as clear as an icy spring, rang out.
"Miss Ning, it seems your private life is more colorful than I imagined."
Every word was chilling.
In this extremely tense atmosphere, Ning Shuyin felt Gu Lei beneath her move slightly.
He seemed to sense her protectiveness and was about to speak.
No! Don't make a sound!
Ning Shuyin desperately tried to stop him with her eyes.
“Miss Ning,” Loran approached her step by step, “let me see who this man is this time.”
As danger drew near, Ning Shuyin's heart pounded like a drum.
Her hand on Gu Lei's shoulder tightened unconsciously. She held her breath, trying to avoid any hint of ambiguity in the position.
However, the life monitor next to the hospital bed suddenly started beeping.
Clearly, her posture blocked the contactless monitoring device, which then angrily sounded an alarm.
Lorraine walked right behind her before stopping.
His tone became teasing: "Miss Ning, your posture doesn't seem very friendly to this patient's vital signs."
After he finished speaking, he simply extended his hand.
The hand gracefully reached out to her long, flowing hair, intending to brush it aside and reveal the mystery completely.
No! Stop!
Ning Shuyin was on the verge of tears.
But the scholar beneath her seemed completely oblivious to their dire situation.
A gentle yet reckless voice rang out: "Who is this...?"
It's over.
Ning Shuyin closed her eyes in despair.
But at this moment—
"boom!"
A deafening roar, loud enough to tear eardrums, instantly swallowed up Gu Lei's unfinished words.
It wasn't an explosion.
It's something even more terrifying.
A huge, gleaming claw, like a demon from hell, tore open the reinforced glass wall of the ward.
Immediately afterwards, three metal spears pierced through the breach, heading straight for Loran's location.
At the same time, a burst of intense light erupted.
The shards of glass, carried by the shockwave, swept through the room like a storm. Ning Shuyin felt a chill on her cheek and instinctively reached up to touch it.
A slight stinging sensation when touched by my fingertips. Upon closer inspection, it was a faint trace of blood.
This sudden attack caught everyone off guard.
Lorraine reacted with lightning speed.
He had already made an evasive maneuver the instant the giant claw shattered the glass.
With a nimble roll, he narrowly avoided the three spears.
Even so, a cut was made on the shoulder of his white lab coat. A shard of glass left a thin trail of blood on his cheek.
But the deep red eyes behind those glasses were still terrifyingly cold.
"Waaah—waaah—"
The alarm for an enemy attack blared throughout the entire hospital.
Ning Shuyin's brain was immediately taken over by the instinct for survival—to take the opportunity to cover Gu Lei's escape!
"Walk!"
She pulled Gu Lei along and pointed towards the door.
At this moment, Gu Lei actually smiled calmly before he and she slipped out of the ward together, taking advantage of the thick smoke and flashing alarm lights.
When Ning Shuyin arrived, she noticed that there was an electromagnetic inspection room at the end of the corridor.
The extra-thick alloy walls there provided the best refuge at that moment.
The two joined hands and rushed through the smoke-filled corridor.
Just then, Loran, who had just regained his footing, was entangled by a mechanical soldier who broke in through a window.
But his sharp gaze still swept through the gaps in the smoke.
He caught a glimpse of Ning Shuyin leading the man away, disappearing into the examination room at the end of the corridor.
His brow furrowed slightly.
"Bang!"
Ning Shuyin and Gu Lei slipped into the room and quickly locked the door.
Outside the door, the sounds of battle grew increasingly intense.
Inside the door, only her and Gu Lei's heavy breathing could be heard.
“It’s safe for a short time,” Ning Shuyin said, “but we still need to find a chance to slip away; you can’t stay in the hospital.”
Gu Lei raised her pink eyes and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't panic. According to the Alliance's response speed, reinforcements will arrive soon."
After saying that, he sat down on the small sofa in the examination room and leisurely picked up a medical journal to read.
Ning Shuyin wasn't so sure, so she cautiously approached the observation window of the room to peek at the scene outside.
Outside the door, the heavy footsteps of the mechanical soldiers grew closer.
The sound of the alloy wall being torn apart was sharp and piercing.
Debris kept falling off.
Throughout the hospital, near and far, the sounds of explosions and screams continued to echo.
Compared to the sounds of defeat in the distance, the defenses in the corridor where Ning Shuyin was located were relatively solid.
At this moment, in the middle of the corridor on the 8th floor, two S-class superhumans dressed in black combat suits are desperately blocking wave after wave of mechanical soldiers.
Behind them was Loran, who had already changed into a white combat uniform.
The silver light dancing at his fingertips connected directly to the two superhumans.
Even so, the defensive perimeter was gradually compressed.
Just then, another loud bang came from afar.
"Squeak—"
The entire skeleton of the building seemed to be groaning.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire floor.
This feeling... is so familiar.
Cold, ruthless, and chilling.
It is Situ Linchen.
