Chapter 209 Frog Hospital (IX) Corpse

[Task time: 00:30:00]

As the electronic sound fell, the surrounding light dimmed perceptibly, and only the outlines of various furnishings in the morgue could be vaguely seen.

"Shasha, Shashasha..."

Weird sounds of clothing rubbing against each other came from all directions, and the white cloths on several beds nearby squirmed visibly to the naked eye, as if something was about to come out from underneath.

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 him a long time to shake off a corner of the white cloth, revealing his hands and feet covered with corpse spots.

Qisi roughly counted, and there were a total of twenty-one corpses moving on the iron bed outside the refrigerator.

There were eight other corpses that were unresponsive, sleeping peacefully and motionless.

He walked straight over, clasped the fate pocket watch with his left hand, and lifted up the white cloth 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's whole body was frozen in place, his legs could not stop trembling, but he could not move an inch.

Humans 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 also 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, what's wrong with this? I don't want to die yet..."

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 to the junction of the cabinets, with two red letters scrawled on it——

【Full】

This explains why there are so many bodies parked outside - because there's no room for them, that's all.

In the era where this copy is set, electronic locks were not yet popular, and these refrigerators 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, and finally recovered from the shock and was able to move. When he looked closely, 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 tell you that we have already closed the door to beat the dogs. If you let a few more monsters out, you can't gain experience... My daughter is only six years old and still in kindergarten. I can’t die yet..."

While he was speaking, Qiss had already picked the door lock.

The cabinet door opened with a pull, revealing the empty, dark space behind it.

Sun Dekuan's eyes lit up: "Little brother, you can pry that door open, why don't you try this door too?"

Chiss didn't seem to hear it and went to pick another lock on the refrigerator.

Sun Dekuan tasted the smell, stopped turning the doorknob, and asked nonchalantly: "Little brother, did you find anything?"

Qiss opened the second cabinet door, but the back was 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 was still there, they put a 'full' note on it to cover up the noise. We also put some so-called corpses outside to scare away those who enter by mistake.”

"As long as the family doesn't pursue the case, and if the players don't come, it's estimated that no one will discover the missing body for a long time."

Seeing that he couldn't open the iron door, Sun Dekuan trotted to Qisi's side: "I didn't tell you that, if the family members don't pursue the case, who will care whether the body is lost or not? Why are there so many deceptions?"

"There are many people who will pursue the case." Zisi opened two more cabinets and almost confirmed that the entire refrigerator was empty. "According to the common routine of horror movies, the upright doctor with a strong sense of justice, the innocent nurse with overflowing love, the misunderstood The social animal care workers who discover the secret by accident, and third-party forces who also covet the corpse may notice something fishy... If you don't keep up the good work, 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 were already getting off the iron bed and staggering 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 would be changes in the future, Sun Dekuan only felt that his legs were starting to become weak again, making it difficult to move at all.

"What should we do? There are still twenty minutes left. We are going to die in 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 players, as force-based players, had no self-awareness and tried to pass the level via the TE route, they still had the ability to protect themselves; Qiss could not protect himself, let alone protect his teammates...

"The more conventional solution is to hide in the refrigerator..." Qisi said, but he protected the bloody pendulum in front of him and walked quickly away from the refrigerator, "But I believe that after you enter the game, you will also I have read many horror stories. After hiding in the cabinet, I was grabbed by a pair of cold hands, turned around and saw a face with blood and tears, and tried to get out but found that the cabinet door could not be opened... These are all very reasonable developments. "

In order to prevent the body from decomposing, the temperature in the morgue is originally lower than the outside world. Rows of corpses stood upright, surrounded by stiff hands and feet, which made people feel chilly and chilly on their spines.

In such an environment, Zisi'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 still a bit difficult to hide in."

These words were probably intended to relieve tension, but Sun Dekuan felt that he was not comforted at all.

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, which is 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 was as if...they were afraid of those female corpses being touched.

Ziss 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 should we do?"

"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 out of time and unaware of the impending disaster, but he had already known the solution to the crisis and was confident about it.

At that moment, Sun Dekuan stopped dawdling and went to drag the female body 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.

"Fuck 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.

[Task time: 00:16:57]

The corpses walking towards the two men obviously did not expect such an operation, and their steps 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 moment, he began to feel lucky that he chose Qisi in the end and followed the right person.

There are a lot of force players, but intelligence players are always scarce. Although they can't resist it with their shoulders or lift it with their hands, they can still defeat it without any bloodshed when encountering danger.

The group of corpses were 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, and 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.

Qiss 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 to separate the player from the corpses 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 all kinds of ferocious appearances to instill fear in their prey.

Hiding in the corner, with no way to retreat, Sun Dekuan didn't dare to express his anger, and he began to doubt in his heart whether he had trusted the wrong person...

Fortunately, the corpses stopped one after another half a step away from him, 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 the bodies varied. 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, and their white burial clothes have no pockets, and there is no place to store dangerous weapons.

Discounting 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. It seems that their purpose of existence is just to serve 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 zombie swarm...

[Task 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 "Hospital Secret"]

[Dad told me that there is a big pond behind the hospital with many dolls in it]

[No, it’s not a doll, it’s a frog. 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 were born]

[Hehehe, give me a piece of candy and I will take you through the foggy forest to see the frogs by the pond]

A 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 "dong dong" sounds and crisscrossing them.

Sun Dekuan dared not leave his ground and stared at the pile of corpses on the floor. After a while, he looked at Qisi in the opposite corner: "Brother Cheng, what should we do next?"

Ziss 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: "Ah? Why?"

"Doctors and patients team up to take a walk in the morgue. Do you think the failure rate can tolerate such drama?"

Qisi dragged the two female corpses back to the iron bed, gently laid them flat on the bed, covered them with white cloth, and did not forget to tuck the corners of the quilts.

Sun Dekuan followed suit and restored the two female corpses in his hands.

He pointed at the 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?"

Zeiss: "I remember."

Sun Dekuan: ...He is indeed a boss.

In the next twenty minutes, Qisi went to restore the lock of the refrigerator door, while Sun Dekuan, under his instruction, dragged the corpses on the ground to their respective iron beds one by one.

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.

He was panting and busy, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Qisi grabbing the wrist of a female corpse, not knowing what he was doing.

He worked for a while, 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 and paid attention to the movement behind him.

The sound of "squeaking" was endless, as if the iron bed was being dragged around wantonly and arranged and combined.

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." 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 is in a hidden place. There were hair, scraps of paper and other marks left.”

Sun Dekuan blinked twice: "But originally they had to check carefully before they could tell, but now they can tell at a glance..."

Qisi turned sideways to face him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he 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 come, but they don't know that it is us; not only did they come, but they also discovered the secret of the hospital? But it doesn't feel right..."

"Hee hee... hee hee hee..." The child's laughter sounded suddenly, mixed with a palpable malice, "I found you!"
