Chapter 213 Bloody Vine (please subscribe, please vote)
St. Freya Medical Hospital stands quietly on the corner of the island, closely surrounded by dense woods.
In the foggy island climate, the outline of the hospital appears and disappears, giving people an ethereal and mysterious feeling, and at the same time exudes an indescribable weird atmosphere.
The hospital's exterior walls have peeled off, exposing the red brick structure inside.
These exposed red bricks have been completely eroded over the years, as if telling the vicissitudes of the hospital's history.
There are overgrown weeds at the entrance of the hospital, almost completely covering up the original stone steps.
The hospital sign was already rusty, and the writing on it had become blurry due to the erosion of time.
Only by careful identification can one barely read the words "St. Freya Medical Hospital", as if witnessing the past glory and current decline of this hospital.
Lin Yi carefully pushed open the half-open dilapidated door. As the door panel slowly moved, a stream of dark, damp and cold air rushed towards him, mixed with a dusty and stale atmosphere.
Stepping into St. Freya Medical Hospital, the entire space felt extremely quiet, with only the footsteps of three people echoing in the empty corridor.
Lin Yi looked around and found that the inside of the hospital was more dilapidated than the outside.
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a chill coming over him, as if something was peeping at them from the dark.
Although Zuo Lun and the People's Teacher did not communicate verbally, their expressions clearly showed alertness, and they had obviously felt the gaze of surveillance.
The revolver is holding the pistol tightly, the safety is on, ready for any emergency.
His other hand rested lightly on the spare magazine on his waist to ensure that ammunition could be quickly replaced at critical moments.
The wind passed through the empty corridor, making a creepy whimpering sound, as if countless innocent souls were crying.
Lin Yi looked around, his eyes quickly passing over the mottled walls, the closed door full of traces of time, and the yellowed old photos.
He is looking for any unusual signs, trying to dig out useful information from the ruins and solve the mystery of the abandoned hospital.
Lin Yi slowed down and moved forward cautiously.
He tried not to make any noise so as not to disturb unknown creatures that might be hiding in the darkness.
Every time he passed a closed ward door, he would pause briefly, hold his breath, and listen to what was going on behind the door.
Although most of the time the only sounds he heard were the wind and his own heartbeat, he always maintained a high level of alertness.
"How, did you find anything?" Zuo Lun asked in a low voice after searching carefully.
"No, there is nothing here except some traces of monsters that have been raging." The people's teacher responded, with a little disappointment in his voice.
The people's teacher squatted on the ground and dug a handful of soil with the shovel in his hand.
Lin Yi looked closer and found that the soil was not the usual black, but a bright red color mixed with some white broken bones.
The people's teacher carefully picked up a broken bone, looked at it carefully and said, "It should be a broken human bone."
He began to try to piece together the broken bones, and in his hands, the broken bones gradually formed into a complete skull.
Obviously, when the drastic changes occurred on Terror Island, a horrific tragedy definitely occurred in this hospital.
Just as Lin Yi was about to step into the hospital building, the sound of a revolver suddenly rang out, breaking the silence around him.
Lin Yi looked sideways and saw a few protruding red vines being broken by the revolver and falling to the ground.
Surprisingly, these broken vines curled up and quickly burrowed toward the ground, completely unlike ordinary plants.
At this time, Lin Yi noticed that the surrounding vines had silently surrounded the three of them.
He suspected that these vines might have the ability to block perception, because in his detection, these vines were always subconsciously ignored by him.
He didn't realize something was wrong until the revolver fired. "Teacher, burn all these things." Lin Yi looked at the more and more red vines gathering around him. They seemed to be on a hunt, blocking all escape routes for the three of them.
Zuolun clenched the gun in his hand, looked around vigilantly, and stood back to back with Lin Yi, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
"Okay, leave it to me." The people's teacher responded calmly and loosened the tie around his neck.
The next second, five one-meter fireballs suddenly appeared around him, and the blazing flames burned brightly, lighting up the entire space.
As the people's teacher waved his hand, these five fireballs roared towards the vines as if they were given life.
The moment the vine encountered the fireball, it was immediately ignited, and the flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire hospital.
Very different from the ordinary mages in the paradise, the People's Teacher chose the development path of the Master.
The reason why he was able to decipher the ancient texts of the Fallen Star was precisely because he absorbed a vast amount of knowledge in the Paradise of Reincarnation.
The People's Teacher's Fireball is different in that it has no cooldown.
As long as he has enough mana, he can continuously fire fireballs like a turret.
At this moment, he instantly condensed dozens of fireballs and shot them quickly towards the blood-red vines.
Deafening explosions echoed around Lin Yi, and black smoke billowed up, obscuring his vision.
When the smoke gradually dissipated, the originally dense blood-red vines were now scattered all over the ground, dilapidated.
The surviving vines seemed to be aware of the strength of the three men, and retreated back to the ground, no longer showing their heads.
For a time, the courtyard in front of the hospital returned to its previous tranquility, except that many blood-red vine fragments were left on the ground.
The people's teacher knelt down, picked up a fragment, looked at it carefully and handed it to Lin Yi and Zuolun.
The lines and color on the fragment revealed an unusual aura.
"This thing doesn't look like a normal plant." The people's teacher said with a frown.
What is shocking is that the internal structure of these seemingly ordinary vines is strikingly similar to that of living organisms.
The people's teacher carefully cut open the outer skin of a vine to reveal its complex internal structure.
It is like a miniature biological organism, with a network of slender and dense blood vessels crisscrossing it, continuously transporting dark red liquid.
The liquid is dark red, almost indistinguishable from real blood, and flows slowly inside the vines, providing nutrients to the vines.
Hidden between these blood vessels are some organ-like organs. They come in all shapes and sizes, but play their own important roles in the vine.
These "viscera" seem to be similar to the digestive system, circulatory system and respiratory system in the organism, and together they maintain the growth and metabolism of the vines.
Inside, in addition to the previously observed network of blood vessels and visceral-like organs, countless sharp teeth are hidden.
These sharp teeth are usually hidden under the skin of the vines and are difficult to detect.
However, when the vines sense prey approaching, they will quickly reach out and wrap around the prey.
Then, the sharp teeth pierced the prey's body fiercely, and began to suck blood and eat flesh crazily. The scene was extremely bloody and cruel.
Under this brutal attack, the prey will soon lose its ability to resist, and its life will gradually pass away.
The large number of broken bones scattered in the courtyard have undoubtedly become silent witnesses of the cruel deeds of these vines.
