Chapter 209 Frog Hospital (9) Corpse
[Task time: 00:30:00]
As the electronic sound fell, the surrounding light dimmed perceptibly, and I could only I could vaguely see the outlines of various furnishings in the morgue.
“Rust, rustle…”
Weird sounds of friction of clothing came from all directions, and the white cloths on several beds nearby were squirming visible to the naked eye, as if something was coming from below. Drill out.
Perhaps because he had just regained his mobility and his limbs were still uncoordinated, the thing under the white cloth was twisting and struggling. It took a long time to shake off a corner of the white cloth, revealing his hands and feet covered with corpse spots.
Qisi counted roughly and found that a total of twenty-one corpses were moving on the iron bed outside the refrigerator.
There are eight corpses that are unresponsive, sleeping peacefully and motionless.
He walked straight over, clasped the fate pocket watch with his left hand, and lifted the white cloths on the eight corpses one by one with his right hand.
As he expected, these eight corpses were all female corpses in their twenties and thirties, and the numbers on the bracelets started with "S".
The corpses on the iron bed next to them seemed to gradually adapt to their limbs. They sat up one after another and pulled off the white cloth on their bodies.
Sun Dekuan was frozen in place, his legs could not stop shaking, but he could not move an inch.
Human beings are often afraid of the corpses of their own kind. This is a fear of death and disease that has been precipitated in a long evolutionary history and remains in the genes, which is difficult to overcome.
The weird game provides an extreme environment where corpses may come alive at any time and attack players as ghosts. It also casts a layer of dangerous and uneasy context on primitive instincts, turning fear into a conditioned reflex.
Sun Dekuan's back was pressed against the cold iron door, and his voice unknowingly took on a crying tone: "Little brother, this...how can this be done? I don't want to die yet..."< br>
Qisi said nothing and turned to walk to the refrigerator nearby.
Rows of stainless steel rectangular cabinets occupy the entire wall, shaped like coffins, long and narrow. There is a piece of white paper taped at the junction of the cabinets, with two red letters scrawled on it——
【Full】
This explains why there are a large number of corpses parked outside—— —Because I can’t let it go, that’s all.
In the era in which this copy is set, electronic locks were not yet popular, and this batch of refrigerated cabinets all used traditional mechanical locks.
Qisi directly pulled out the wire from the bracelet, picked the middle lock and picked it.
Sun Dekuan stood there for a while, finally recovering from the shock and able to move. When he took a closer look, he saw Qiss picking the lock.
He turned the doorknob behind him with one hand and slapped the iron door with the other: "Little brother, what are you doing? I didn't say that the door has been closed to beat the dogs. You want to let a few more monsters out? I can’t gain experience... My daughter is only six years old and is still in kindergarten. I can’t die yet..."
While he was speaking, Qiss had already picked the door lock.
The cabinet door opened as soon as it was pulled, revealing the empty and dark space behind it.
Sun Dekuan's eyes lit up: "Little brother, you can pry that door, why don't you try this door too?"
Qisi didn't seem to hear, and went to pry the other door on the refrigerator. Lock.
Sun Dekuan smacked the smell, stopped turning the doorknob, and asked nonchalantly: "Little brother, did you find anything?"
Qisi opened the second door. The cabinet door and the back are also empty.
He said without looking back: "The body is gone. If my guess is correct, someone took the body away and used it for other purposes. In order to create the illusion that the body is still there, a post saying 'has been They were full of sticky notes and put some so-called corpses outside to scare away those who strayed in. ”
"As long as the family members don't pursue the case, if the players don't come, it is estimated that no one will discover the missing body for a long time."
Seeing that he could not open the iron door, Sun Dekuan trotted to Qiu Qi. Si's side: "It's not what I said. If the family members don't pursue the case, who will care whether the body is lost or not? Why are there so many cover-ups?"
"There are many people who will pursue the case." Qisi I opened two more cabinets and was almost sure that the entire refrigerator was empty. "According to the common formula of horror movies, the upright doctor with a strong sense of justice, the naive nurse with overflowing love, the social animal nurse who accidentally discovered the secret, and the same Any third-party force that covets the body may notice something fishy... If you don't do a good job on the surface, a little carelessness will cause a lot of trouble. "
This is the truth. Sun Dekuan nodded sternly without realizing it, and his ears caught the sound of cluttered footsteps.
The moving corpses become more flexible as time goes by. When they just exchanged these few words, they had already got off the iron bed and staggered towards the direction where the player was standing.
They don't move very fast and wander slowly at the speed of an ordinary person walking. As long as the player keeps running, there is a high probability that he will not be touched.
But it is not easy to actually take action.
[Task time: 00:23:21]
After a long period of mental stress, continuous consumption of physical strength, and not knowing whether there will be changes in the future, Sun Dekuan only felt that his legs were starting to get cramped again. Soft and difficult to drag.
"What should we do? There are still twenty minutes left. We are going to die on the same year, the same month and the same day... But I still have a wife and children..."
With a sad face, he felt that Qisi, as an intellectual player, not only actively triggered crisis events, but also slowly deduced and solved puzzles, which was even more abstract than Huang Xiaofei and the others...
Although those two people, as force players, did not have He is self-aware and tries to take the TE route to pass the level, but he has the ability to protect himself; Qi Si cannot protect himself, let alone his teammates...
"The more conventional solution is to hide in the refrigerator..." Qi Si Si said, but he protected the bloody pendulum in front of him and walked quickly away from the refrigerator, "But I believe you have learned a lot of horror stories after entering the game. After hiding in the cabinet, you were hit by a pair of cold He grabbed his ankle with his hand, turned his head and saw a face with blood and tears, and wanted to go out and found that the cabinet door could not be opened... These are all very reasonable developments."
In order to prevent the body from rotting, the temperature in the morgue is kept high. It's supposed to be lower than the outside world. Rows of corpses stood upright, surrounded by stiff hands and feet, which made people feel chilly and chilly down their spines.
In such an environment, Qisi's calm narration sounded gloomy. Sun Dekuan intuitively felt the bad taste of his teammate and was about to cry without tears.
Then I heard the young man say in a joking tone: "But I feel that with your size, it is a bit difficult to hide in."
This was probably to relieve the tension, but Sun Dekuan felt that he was a little bit No one was comforted.
Fortunately, Qiss did not insist on boring jokes. He quickly stood next to an iron bed for morgues and said nonchalantly: "A little reminder, there are eight corpses in this room. Corpses are special.”
Special? Sun Dekuan was not stupid, and he also reacted after hearing Qisi's words.
After all the corpses got out of bed, eight corpses were indeed lying still, motionless.
The standing corpses were moving around, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the motionless female corpses, and at the same time driving the players in the opposite direction.
It’s like... afraid of those female corpses being touched.
Zis continued: "It is known that some of the corpses will be used for other purposes. Do you think the mastermind behind the scenes will allow those 'high-value' corpses to be damaged by some 'low-value' ordinary corpses? "
"You mean..." Sun Dekuan looked at the female corpse on the iron bed still hesitantly, "Should we pretend to be a 'high-value' corpse?"
“What are you thinking about?” Qisi held his forehead and sighed, “One person and four weapons can just block the four directions.”
Can it still be like this? Sun Dekuan looked at Qisi's calm and calm posture and suddenly realized, and the latter's initial action of lifting the white cloth emerged in his mind.
It turns out that this young man was not untimely and did not know that a disaster was approaching, but he had already known the solution to the crisis and was confident.
At this moment, Sun Dekuan no longer hesitated and went to drag the female corpse closest to him.
The cold and inelastic skin reminded him that he was a dead person, arousing his innate fear and trembling, but at the moment of life and death, he could no longer control so much.
"Done it, I believe you this time!" Sun Dekuan closed his eyes and murmured, as if to convince himself.
He held the female corpse's arm and raised the entire corpse in front of him. His fat body twisted awkwardly, trying to hide completely behind the cover.
Qisi observed Sun Dekuan who was holding the body tightly for two seconds. When he saw that there was no change, he picked up the other body.
[Mission time: 00:16:57]
The corpses walking towards the two people obviously did not expect such an operation, and they stopped in unison. They wander restlessly, like sheep that have lost their purpose and direction.
Sun Dekuan took two deep breaths, opened his eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the corpses hesitating.
For a while, he began to feel lucky that he chose Qisi in the end and followed the right person.
There are a lot of players with force, but there is always a shortage of players with intelligence. Although they can't resist it with their shoulders and can't lift it with their hands, they still have a way to defeat it without bloodshed when encountering danger.
The corpse group was in a stalemate for a while, and finally thought of a way to try to divert the flow to both sides.
They seem to want to bypass the female corpse acting as a shield and approach the player from the unobstructed side.
"Choose another corpse, spread it out and lean it against the wall." Qis ordered calmly.
Sun Dekuan did not dare to neglect. At the critical moment of life and death, he showed agility that was seriously inappropriate for his body. He dragged a corpse to block the side and retreated to the corner step by step.
Qisi also threw out the cursed pendulum, hooked another corpse, and retreated to the wall.
[Task time: 00:10:11]
Four corpses are only a theoretical amount. The whole person is embedded in the corner. With the help of two walls, only two corpses are needed. It can separate the player from the zombie hordes outside.
The zombies were divided into two waves, one heading towards Sun Dekuan and the other towards Qisi. Their heads were bent at an angle that ordinary people could not do, which reminded people of the zombie siege in movies and TV series.
They approach step by step, like cats teasing mice, making various ferocious appearances to instill fear in their prey.
Huddled in the corner, unable to retreat, Sun Dekuan did not dare to express his anger, and he began to doubt in his heart whether he had trusted the wrong person...
Fortunately, the corpses were talking to each other one after another. He stopped half a step away, not daring to move any further.
They paced back and forth like headless flies, roaring angrily and helplessly.
Qisi's method works. You just need to stay calm and endure the countdown to complete the side mission.
Sun Dekuan let out a long breath, and for the first time he felt a little guilty for his previous vacillation.
He mentally patted his face and whispered: 'I am an intellectual player with six TE clearance records. Isn't he more capable than you? You do as you are told and yet you still have doubts? ’
In the other corner, Qisi observed the corpses outside through the gap between the two female corpses.
The quality of this batch of corpses varies. The oldest one has gray hair and his skin is so wrinkled that it looks like it will fall off if rubbed; the youngest one is only in his early twenties, as skinny as a stick and can be blown over by a gust of wind.
They rolled their eyes and raised their hands stiffly, awkwardly bent into claws, but without even nails.
They have nothing to wear, their white burial clothes have no pockets, and there is no place to store dangerous weapons.
Excluding humans' habitual fear of the weird and the horrific implications of side missions, there is no evidence to show that these corpses will harm or even kill players.
Moreover, their movements are too clumsy and their speed is too slow. The purpose of their existence seems to be just as a scare point, so that timid players can escape and avoid discovering the unknown secrets of the hospital.
"Escape?" Qisi turned his gaze sideways and looked at the closed iron door of the morgue.
At the beginning, the door was locked, giving the players no possibility of escape, which obviously contradicted the design of the zombies...
[Mission Time: 00:00:00]
[Side mission completed]
The cold electronic sound interrupted Qisi’s thoughts, and a large amount of text appeared in the upper left corner of his vision.
[Congratulations on getting the clue "The Secret of the Hospital"]
[Dad told me that there is a big pond behind the hospital with many dolls in it]
[No, not dolls, but frogs. The Blue Frog Hospital raises blue frogs, and the Green Frog Hospital raises green frogs. ]
[The red frogs were eaten, and there were too few grown-up frogs, so many blue frogs and green frogs had to be born]
[Hehehehe, give me a piece of candy, I'll take you through the misty forest to see the frogs by the pond]
The clear child's voice read the words word for word in the ear, mixed with the noise of applause and laughter.
The further back he went, the more eerie Nian Bai's voice became, sounding like the cry of an innocent soul, and the noise was gradually drowned out by the sound of frogs, making people uneasy for no reason.
The zombies all fell to the ground the moment the prompt sounded, making a "dong dong" sound and staggered in a row.
Sun Dekuan stared at the pile of corpses on the floor in such a majestic manner that he did not dare to leave. After a while, he looked at Qisi in the opposite corner: "Brother Cheng, what should we do next?"
Qi Si noticed the change in his title, and his expression did not change: "Restore this place first, at least put the corpses back in their respective beds."
Sun Dekuan scratched his head: "Huh? Why?"
< br>
"Doctors and patients team up to take a walk in the morgue. Do you think the failure rate can tolerate such drama?"
Chis dragged the two female corpses back to the iron bed and gently laid them flat on the bed. Cover it with a white cloth, and don't forget to tuck in the quilt corners.
Sun Dekuan followed suit and restored the two female corpses in his hands.
He pointed to a pile of corpses scattered on the ground, with a bitter look on his face: "Brother Cheng, I'm not telling you, do you remember where to put these dead ghosts?"
Qisi: " I remember.”
Sun Dekuan: ...He is indeed a boss.
In the next twenty minutes, Qisi went to restore the door lock of the refrigerator, and Sun Dekuan, under his instruction, dragged the corpses on the ground one by one to their respective iron beds.
Having just experienced the "Zombie Siege", his fear threshold was raised very high. Even if he came into close contact with the corpses he was usually afraid of in a short period of time, he would not be able to make any waves in his heart.
As he was busy panting, he saw Qisi grabbing the wrist of a female corpse from the corner of his eye, not knowing what he was doing.
He worked for a while longer, and when he looked at Qiss again, the young man actually grabbed the wrist of another female corpse.
‘Do young people nowadays play such big games? ’ Sun Dekuan cursed. While working diligently, he pricked up his ears to pay attention to the movement behind him.
The sound of "squeaking" was endless, as if the iron bed was being dragged around wantonly, playing with permutations and combinations.
Sun Dekuan will not be punished: "I didn't say that the iron bed was moved. Didn't people tell at a glance that someone had been here?"
"Just to let them see it. Come out." Qisi finished what he was doing and was in a good mood. He explained patiently, "After all, we can never achieve 100% restoration. Even I may not be able to notice whether someone has left hair or scraps of paper in a hidden place. Marks like that."
Sun Dekuan blinked twice: "But originally they had to check carefully to see it, but now they can tell it at a glance..."
Qisi turned sideways to face him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled mysteriously: "Do you think if a cat stole a bite of food and then tipped the whole plate over to the ground, would the owner be able to survive after he got home? Do you know if it has ever eaten this dish?”
Sun Dekuan seemed to understand: “So we want them to know that someone has been here, but they don’t know that it is us; not only did they come, but they also discovered the hospital. Secret? But it doesn’t feel right..."
"Hehe...hehehe..." The children’s laughter sounded suddenly, mixed with a sense of malice, "I found you. ! ”
