Chapter 771 - 771 544 We Lost an Employee_2

Chapter 771: Chapter 544 We Lost an Employee_2 Chapter 771: Chapter 544 We Lost an Employee_2 Listening to Colin’s conversation with the locals, he also discovered some clues.

This “The Unyielding”…

Definitely had a problem!

First possibility, either he intentionally concealed something, and thus deliberately lured people over for rescue, or secondly, he might not even know what was happening…

Truly believing he had only been here for just over half a year or eight to nine months.

As for the reasons, there were many possibilities. Either the person had been controlled, replaced, or contaminated…

Everything was possible.

But no matter which possibility it was, the situation didn’t look good.

“I think he… cough cough cough…” the Ashen Holy Body spoke, but couldn’t help coughing violently, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

“You better not talk anymore, I pretty much understand what you mean. Let me treat you first.”

Colin raised his hand to stop the other party from speaking and then continued to summon his own medical model employees.

The next second, the Fire Tree appeared before the eyes of the crowd of ladies. It was like a banyan tree, but its leaves were clumps of flames, and it extended hundreds of aerial roots, which pierced into the skin of the Ashen Holy Body like raindrops.

On the side, the ladies all took a sharp breath when they saw this…

Yet, amidst their horror, they also noticed that on the Ashen Holy Body, the wounds so severe that a normal kin wouldn’t survive were rapidly healing.

Soon, he could even get out of bed and walk!

Know that not long before, the other party had been blasted, his internal organs ruptured, limbs shattered, almost as if he were dying.

But now he was actually able to get out of bed and move…

For everyone present, it was almost like witnessing a miracle of resurrection!

“If any of you need it, you can also come here for treatment.”

Colin looked at the ladies with wide eyes and directly made a decision on behalf of the Fire Tree.

Not to say that the “Fire Tree” was truly capable of bringing back the dead in terms of healing, as the company and even the official resources had many medical items that surpassed it.

But its range of knowledge was indeed very wide.

Not to mention the normal carbon-based human body, but it had also delved into many stone silicon-based beings and knew how to treat them. It could easily handle pollution of the Third Level or below, qualifying as a general practitioner.

And hearing Colin’s words, the ladies hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to accept this “generosity.”

After all, many of them had suffered very, very serious injuries. If there was a chance to be healed, that would naturally be best.

‘The task progress is over ninety percent, almost there…’

Colin glanced at the current progress of the task.

Gathering information through casual conversation for investigation tasks was not only less risky but also much faster than randomly killing things outside. If it had been outside, he estimated that he might not have even reached halfway by now…

‘I should learn some more about the local current ecological environment, anomalies, and the like, and then I could complete it.’

As his thoughts flickered, Colin began to ask about related matters.

“In this hospital, in the lobby on the first floor of every building, or in the inpatient areas, food that can be used may refresh anywhere from every three to fifteen days. During this time, we send out exploration teams to collect these supplies…”

“If we don’t collect them, they’ll just be left to rot, and then the ‘Red-Robed Nurse’ will take them away and dispose of them to continue the refresh…”

“Yeah, not just food, some medications also refresh, but for this, each different department refreshes different medicines. For mental illnesses, you have to go to Psychiatry; for broken legs and arms, go to Orthopedics or the Emergency Department…”

Of course, although they might not necessarily need medical supplies, they would definitely collect as much as possible if they could.

Because medication could not only be consumed: with proper processing, it could be turned into explosives, poisons, toxic gas weapons, and so on.

‘It does seem like a lot of medications can essentially be used to make explosives. But what’s this? Is humanity’s Talent just to blow up wherever they go?’ Colin pursed his lips.

To tell the truth, from the information given by this female leader, the group of people who had fled here…

was likely a group of ordinary Earth humans with some abilities.

An example is that the language here is a rare mishmash of Earth languages, and although there are some self-created characters, more are direct uses of original characters from Chinese, English, German, and so on.

So the “Bomber Faction” Talent might be because they are “Earth people”?

And at this moment, the female leader continued:

“Along the way, we might encounter ‘Puppet People,’ ‘Laughing Nightmare,’ ‘zombies,’ ‘Corpse Tyrant,’ ‘big-headed crazies,’ ‘Shredded Flesh Horde,’ and dozens of other anomalies. Ah, the ‘Shredded Flesh Horde’ is those chunks of flesh on the ground. We suspect they might be what people turn into after being captured by the ‘Red-dressed Nurse,’ impossible to kill no matter how you try…”

As the female leader elaborated bit by bit, Colin’s mission progress also came closer and closer to one hundred percent.

‘I was curious where the hell the food in this place comes from, never thought it would automatically refresh… and it seems to be quite nutritious too.’ Colin muttered to himself inwardly, thinking this place was simply a “Saintess trap”…

If Shana knew of a similar place where one could get food without any moral burden, she might well visit it daily to “zero-cost shop” even if there was an “Ancient God” guarding it, braving the risk of injury—

After all, Shana had indeed done something similar before, fighting over eight hundred Points with an “Ancient God”…

‘Damn, that’s tough. No, shit, those bastards at the branch office really don’t treat people like humans, conning my Shana to fight with that kind of existence for eight hundred Points! If anything happened to her, I would tear them apart!’

Shaking his head to dispel the thoughts, Colin continued to listen silently for information.

He then heard the female captain next to the leader mention that they didn’t know what had happened, but the entire hospital world began to shake, numerous anomalies and the ‘Red-dressed Nurse’ died in droves, and a terrifying fissure cracked open…

But it was this very fissure that led to something emerging from deeper within the world.

Colin’s expression turned odd for a moment: ‘This couldn’t have been the result of the top three fighting, could it?’

He had previously thought that the effects would only reach the surrounding few layers at most, but never expected it to cut so deep?

After asking for more details, it seemed it really was the case.

The impact of the fight had reached further and more deeply than he had imagined, affecting even the twelfth layer and beyond…

“By the way, do you guys remember why you ended up with such an imbalanced male-to-female ratio?” Colin asked out of curiosity.

The female leader had previously skimmed over these matters and hadn’t been very detailed.

“We’re not very clear on the situation either. There are guesses it’s due to the food, some think it’s environmental reasons, and there are also some fragmented passed-down memories that could be a factor…”

“Fragmented memories?” Colin asked.

“The memories we pieced together ourselves suggest that a hundred years ago, something incredibly terrifying broke free from deep within the hospital. As it passed through here when it left, it seemed to have affected our bodies. The timing lines up with that event. Later, we observed that the thing, may not necessarily have left, or it might not have left at all, or it could even have come from outside our world, wanting to enter here…”

That part of history was too broken to restore, and they generally assumed it was something from the depths that had left.

But there were many possibilities, nothing was certain…

“What was it, do you have any impression?” Colin became more curious, what could have merely passed by and caused such mutations in people’s genes?

The female leader said uncertainly: “I vaguely remember it might have something to do with a burst of ‘Red Light.’ We suspect the ‘Red-dressed Nurse’ might be caused by it, because since that event, the ‘Red-dressed Nurse’ appeared for the first time…”

But before she could finish, Colin suddenly raised his hand to signal her to stop talking.

Upon hearing the word “Red Light,” Colin stopped probing further…

“Red Light” passing by and not causing genetic damage, allowing these people to stand here instead of turning into a pile of organs crawling everywhere, they’d have to thank the Bonfire for that.

Of course, the most crucial thing was…

As the female leader was speaking, the investigation mission indicated it was complete!

That meant, after Colin made the confirmation, a new cycle of events appeared, this time apparently the final event!
