Chapter 556 Entering the Mountain
Bai Mengyan endured the pain of her skin being scorched by the Yin Fire, feeling her body temperature slowly draining away.
She followed the group at breakneck speed, using the same method, the Yin Fire Lotus burned away the specific "trapping array barrier," and the group passed through smoothly.
The further away they were from that towering outpatient building, the fewer things they needed to worry about, and the easier it was for them to overcome those obstacles.
There were several more mazes intertwined behind, but the number of killing formations had obviously decreased sharply, and the number of ways they needed to identify and deal with them had also decreased accordingly.
As everyone walked past the last row of morgue doors with hearts pounding and stepped out of the back gate of Burning City Hospital, the breath they had been holding in their chests finally escaped.
I had thought the location of the morgue was extremely dangerous and that it would take some effort to get through, but I was surprised to find that it was completely empty. Apart from the suppressed aura of the seal inside the morgue, the outside area was clean and there was nothing there.
The team's goal is simply to get through smoothly, so they naturally won't delve into the problems here.
Leng Yuexiu did not lower his guard. He looked back at the entire area covered by the Burning City Hospital. Looking back from this exit, some of the array points became more conspicuous, and some hidden places that he had not noticed before also became conspicuous.
"Let's go, let's go up the mountain first."
The simulated magnetic field did not immediately dissolve; the mixed state formed by the superposition of the space system and the light system was released accordingly.
The energy within the simulated magnetic field was completely absorbed by the Wuqi Pill, and everyone was still covered by an almost invisible electromagnetic force.
After they had completely left Rancheng Hospital, the person who had been silently watching them from the dean's office finally showed a lively expression on his stiff and lifeless face.
He spoke in a hoarse voice, his cloudy eyes fixed on the direction of the back mountain, "Good luck to you, I hope you come back alive."
Another clear-voiced boy asked in confusion, "Uncle Liao, why didn't you stop them? You clearly had a chance to lure them out. Why let them go into the mountains to their deaths?"
The man named Uncle Liao was the director of Rancheng Hospital. At this moment, he could no longer be considered a human being; he was a veritable "dead man."
In the early stages of his infection, his old friend, a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor known as "Ghost Doctor," unexpectedly visited him, accompanied by another person known as "Divine Calculator."
The Ghost Doctor's surname is Chen, and the Divine Calculator's surname is Lin.
As talent settled in, widespread unrest broke out in the city. Within two hours, the city was taken over by the military, and one building after another became an isolated island and was sealed off.
When they received the news from the outside world, not only was the entire Burning City under lockdown, but the warriors who were desperately trying to control the situation were also not spared.
Dean Liao moved his hands, slowly tightening and loosening his fingers, as if he were doing some kind of rehabilitation exercise.
He calmly replied to the boy, "Old Chen said there's still a glimmer of hope, and I bet that hope is them."
"Many can break through the formation, but none will make it out alive. Let's wait and see."
"Zhang Wazi, it's getting late, you should go back."
The boy named Zhang Wazi had no wounds, but his skin was pale and he looked bloodless. He pursed his lips and said, "I understand, Uncle Liao. I'll be going now."
Zhang Wazi is not an ordinary person who is not infected; on the contrary, he is an asymptomatic carrier.
Wuneng leaked information about the zombie outbreak. At that time, Zhang Wazi was a long-term hospitalized patient with an immune disorder whose life was in danger at any moment.
While others were infected and turned into zombies, Zhang Wazi remained unharmed, and the zombies didn't even attack him.
He ran through the chaotic corridor to the dean's office, only to later discover that the wounds he had inflicted while running in his panic had no blood flowing out at all.
Doctor Chen, wearing protective clothing, gave Dean Liao an acupuncture treatment. Dean Liao's arm was covered in blood, and a corpse wearing a white coat lay on the ground.
Zhang Wazi was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound or leave.
The Ghost Doctor and his group tacitly accepted his existence. Later, fewer and fewer people survived, and the hospital, through the joint efforts of the Ghost Doctor and the fortune teller Lin Qing, became what it is today.
Thanks to his special physical abilities, Zhang Wazi can freely traverse cities filled with zombies, and naturally, he can also find food to bring to Doctor Chen and the others.
As for them, they used to rely on raw meat, but later the raw meat began to spoil. Doctor Chen dissected the people who had turned into zombies and discovered the existence of crystal energy bodies.
Zombies like Zhang Wazi and Dean Liao, who still retain consciousness, rely on the energy of the crystal body to prolong their lives.
After Zhang Wazi left the dean's office, Dean Liao closed and locked the iron bars behind the door and walked to the dark corner hidden by the metal cabinet.
The chains clanged as they were pulled up. He chained himself, sat down against the wall, exhaled, and slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the roars of the zombies that night.
……
On the other side, Leng Yuexiu and his group rushed on their way after entering the mountains in order to seize the daylight.
Unlike outside, it gets dark earlier in the mountains. After confirming their location, they found a sheltered ravine to stop and rest.
Cheng Lu, Niu Erzhu, and Zhang Zhiheng, who were in poorer physical condition, almost collapsed to the ground upon hearing the news that they could set up camp on the spot.
Cheng Kaixi was also bent over, panting with her hands on her knees.
Although we didn't encounter any wild animals or beasts on the way into the mountains, the mountain roads were difficult to travel, and we were walking on undeveloped trails, which was very physically demanding.
Su Jiancheng looked around and cautiously asked, "Boss, can we start a fire?"
Leng Yuexiu thought for a moment, "I'll take Black Hawk to set up the Regeneration Fire."
Su Jiancheng subconsciously looked at Bai Mengyan, "Don't we have someone ready to use? Why don't we just have the little princess set up a barrier?"
Bai Mengyan closed her eyes wearily and looked at Leng Yuexiu weakly, saying, "Go ahead, let me catch my breath."
Leng Yuexiu noticed that Bai Mengyan was acting strangely. He frowned, but ultimately left with a cold face and said nothing.
It was pitch black in the mountains, and there was hardly any moonlight at this time. Without lighting a fire, two people three meters apart couldn't even see each other's faces clearly.
Without Leng Yuexiu's permission, Cheng Kaixi couldn't use the light-based illumination indiscriminately, lest it attract something from the mountains.
Bai Mengyan dragged her heavy legs and staggered towards the large rock where Su Jiancheng was sitting.
She spoke casually, "Su Jiancheng, I have something to ask you."
Seeing that Bai Mengyan didn't seem to be joking with him, Su Jiancheng took the initiative to get up and go to greet her.
Bai Mengyan tilted her head, indicating that they should go to the open space in front where there was no grass.
Su Jiancheng followed Bai Mengyan in a carefree manner, and after stopping, she put her hands on her hips, standing in a very unruly posture, blocking most of Bai Mengyan's figure.
Bai Mengyan's vision was a little blurry, and her hand, which was raising to brush her hair, was trembling uncontrollably. She reached out and braced herself against the tree trunk next to her to save her strength.
"How to cure burns caused by Yin Fire?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Jiancheng's eyes widened suddenly, her foot, which had been lying to the side, was unconsciously pulled back, and her loose posture gradually straightened.
Bai Mengyan was breathing heavily, and warned in a low voice, "Don't make a sound."
