Song qingxiao stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the stretcher with the three bodies. The elevator door closed with a ‘clang’. The sound was particularly harsh on the empty second floor, so it must have been heard on the first and third floors.
Dr. Hu’s body was thin, and he was placed at the top of the three bodies. The nurse who placed them there was timid, so when she carried them on the stretcher, she subconsciously placed them face down.
The time in his line of sight had already counted down:At 08:56:09, there were less than nine hours left before the mission would be over.
The preliminary judgment was that the bespectacled man was most likely using poison to kill, and it had a wide-range attack effect, which was impossible to guard against.
What worried song qingxiao the most was not the poison. After the incident on the second floor, when she went downstairs, security guard Huang was still alive. She remembered that other than shouting for help, he also shouted, “”There is…”
At that time, he had no strength to say anything, but when he breathed his last breath, the word he spat out was ‘gun’.
There were guns in the hospital. When the big man with the gun entered the scenario and killed doctor Zhou, his gun was confiscated. He was also captured. Song qingxiao remembered that she had wanted this gun.
In the end, the gun was locked up by Liu Yichen and the others, and security guard Huang was in charge of it. The key should be in the hands of several doctors.
When the key was passed to doctor ou, the murder happened on the fourth of that night, and doctor ou was killed that night. The key should have gone missing that night.
After the incident, the hospital raised their vigilance and captured the man in glasses at the last minute. At that time, everyone’s vigilance increased with the increase of the number of deaths, and song qingxiao never had the chance to ask about the whereabouts of the gun.
What Huang said when he died tonight made song qingxiao guess that the bespectacled man had killed doctor ou, got the key to the gun, and snatched the gun from Huang.
He had the ability to kill with poison and had a gun in his hand. His trump cards were not inferior to song qingxiao’s. If he didn’t make more arrangements, song qingxiao might be defeated.
Under such circumstances, he had to make some necessary preparations in order to survive.
Song qingxiao stood still for a long time before she finally took out a mask from her pocket and put it on to prevent the bespectacled man from poisoning her later. She tried to grab Dr. Hu’s hand.
She had learned this idea from number four back then.
At that time, number four wanted to ambush her, so he pulled a security guard to hide in the elevator and killed him. The security guard’s body eventually blocked the elevator door, making the elevator unable to move.
She was prepared to follow suit and hide a body in the elevator. When she found the spectacled man, she would block the elevator door and make the elevator useless.
There were a large number of targets on the fourth floor, including medical staff, security guards, and patients. Song qingxiao was afraid that she would not be able to hold him back. In the end, he would find the time to enter the elevator and sneak up to the fourth floor.
The hospital was located on the mountain, and the three people died in the early hours of the morning. The temperature was low, and they had only been dead for about two hours, but their bodies had already hardened.
In fact, she was also in a state of extreme tension. The accelerated flow of blood and the discharge of large amounts of sweat took away the heat in her body. Her hands were trembling, either from the fear she was enduring or from the cold environment.
However, Dr. Hu’s corpse was much colder than her already cold hands.
It was a feeling that was hard to describe with words.
The skin of a dead person, when touched through a thin layer of clothes, had a dry, wax-like smooth feeling.
The hand under his palm was already stiff, and there was no pulse. Song qingxiaogang subconsciously shook his hand away as soon as he touched it.
After going through a trial, her mental endurance was much higher than the average person’s, but at this time, there was no one around her. Other than her shadow that was still swaying, everything was lifeless.
The nurses and doctors in the hospital were afraid, and she was afraid too. However, because she could endure it and her will to live was greater than anything else, she managed to suppress the uneasiness.
It was not her first time touching a corpse. After she killed the short and fat middle-aged man in the first trial, she had also dealt with the middle-aged man’s corpse. However, the middle-aged man had just died not long ago, unlike Dr. Hu’s corpse, which was already stiff and cold.
That kind of cold was like a roundworm attached to the bone. Once she touched it, she couldn’t get rid of it. It passed from her palm to her limbs and bones. She was so cold that even her toes curled up subconsciously.
Her heart was beating wildly, as if it was going to jump out of her throat. The time of the mission was decreasing with the sound of the prompt, and there was no time for her to be nervous and afraid.
She wanted to live.
From the first trial where they had to kill each other, she had fought hard to kill people and fight for a way out. It was not for the sake of sending herself to someone’s death in this trial.
She was still young and had not lived a decent life for a day. She had just graduated and found a job not long ago.
She wanted to live!
This thought grew deeper and deeper in her mind. Her breathing gradually calmed down, and her chaotic heartbeat also calmed down. Song qingxiao’s eyes went from panic to calmness.
Liu Yichen, whom she had killed with her own hands, had been showing up in front of her all this while. Her mental endurance had also increased as the mission time passed.
The Dr. Hu in front of her was a dead man. Fear was just a weak emotion deep in her heart that was not beneficial to her. She reached out to grab Dr. Hu’s arm again. This time, she did not hesitate anymore.
Although Dr. Hu looked thin, he was about 1.7 meters tall. A dead person’s body was much heavier than when he was alive.
Fortunately, after the last trial, song qingxiao had been consciously strengthening her body. Although it was hard, she still managed to carry him off the stretcher.
After his body was turned over, his face looked much more terrifying than when he had just died.
Song qingxiao was carrying him on her back. He was still lying on the stretcher like a stiff plaster doll.
Their shadows were elongated by the light, and it looked like song qingxiao’s shadow was about to be swallowed by Dr. Hu’s shadow.
Suppressing her uneasiness, she walked to the elevator and pressed the button. The elevator had stopped on the second floor without moving. Song qingying put the body in and placed it against the wall on the left. She thought for a while and quickly got out of the elevator before the door closed.
There were still two bodies on the stretcher. Most of the things on the second floor had been moved away, but some bedding and other things were still left in Ward No. 1, where the spectacled man was held.
Although the bespectacled man was detained by Liu Yichen and the others as a suspect of murder, not many people in the hospital had died at that time. Liu Yichen and the others were still rational, and they knew that the police could not directly accuse the bespectacled man of being the murderer before the police made a final conclusion. At that time, they just wanted to restrain his actions to prevent more people from dying in the hospital. They were prepared to hand him over to the police after the signal was sent.
Therefore, in Ward No. 1, where he was held, he was still prepared with bed sheets and other things.
She quickly walked into Ward 1, pulled the bed sheet off, and hugged it in her arms. When she walked to the stretcher, she covered the two bodies on the single frame, leaving only a little hair and half a leg outside. Anyone who saw it would know that there were bodies inside..
