Global Collapse

Chapter 87 Fatty's Lunch Box

The fat man had a bitter face.

He groped around haphazardly for a while, seemingly trying to cover the painful area, but the injuries were all on his back. He struggled for a while but couldn't reach them, so he reluctantly lowered his hand.

He coughed a few times and began, "My dad once found a fortune teller for me... That charlatan said I would never die a natural death, that I would die in a very, very long car..."

"Cough cough, I didn't believe it back then... so I kicked him out the door. Now it seems I misunderstood him, haha..."

Gu Mian flipped the fat man over: "Shut your mouth."

In addition to the arrows, the fat man had two more bullet holes in his back, located in the left lung area, not far from his heart.

Gu Mian had witnessed the power of that gun; the fat man's left lung had probably exploded, and it had also damaged nearby arteries.

Fresh blood kept flowing out, staining the ground.

"Is there no way to save him?" At this moment, Chu Changge also looked over.

Gu Mian nodded slightly: "Mm."

The fat man struggled slightly, and he pushed Gu Mian with trembling hands: "Doctor... you should leave now, I'm about to die, don't worry about me."

Gu Mian squatted down and pressed him down: "Don't be afraid, you won't really die."

The fat man buried his head tightly in the ground: "But I've never died before, and I'm a little scared... I'm in pain, I'm in pain..."

"Don't worry," Gu Mian comforted him, "Close your eyes, sleep for a while, and when you wake up you'll see us again."

The fat man's voice grew weaker and weaker: "Really... will I be able to see the doctor again when I wake up later?"

"Well, really."

Hearing this, the fat man seemed relieved. He lowered his head and mumbled a reply, "Then I'm going to sleep..."

Then Gu Mian watched as his breath grew weaker and weaker until he finally stopped breathing.

Chu Changge looked at the fat man on the ground, who was no longer breathing: "Where do we go next?"

Gu Mian stood up, grabbed the camera lens on Chu Changge's head, and crushed it: "Mining City Central Hospital."

Chu Changge had a hearse in his inventory, which made things much easier.

This city is quite large, and having a car makes things much more convenient.

It was the dead of night, and there wasn't a soul in sight on the street.

Of course, there are hardly any people in this city; the shadows wandering the streets at midnight are usually ghosts or something similar.

Gu Mian accelerated down the street: "By the way, I haven't asked you how you ended up in that mine."

Chu Changge, sitting in the passenger seat, said, "I was dropped off near the hospital, and in a hotel near the hospital, they found a 'rebellion plan'."

As he spoke, he pulled out a tattered piece of paper: "It contains the miners' detailed plan for rebellion. I noticed that they planned to kidnap the treacherous factory manager, Sean, and threaten him in the mine, so I went directly to the mine to investigate."

The description of the factory manager, Sean, in the mining town travel brochure was "humorous and witty," not "cunning and treacherous."

Gu Mian asked, "You should have encountered it when you went in, right? I'm talking about Sean's face. How did you get past it?"

"Hmm," Chu Changge nodded, "It said it only has ten minutes to find its real face, otherwise it can't leave that area, but actually we can just wait down there for ten minutes and then leave..."

Gu Mian asked curiously, "How did you know?"

"Because when I was looking for its real face, I noticed that it seemed to be intentionally drawing me to one of its faces... It's strange, isn't it? At that moment, I felt it was a trick, so I pretended to approach it casually, and it immediately tried to attack me. Then I realized that its range of movement was limited, which is why it was playing this face-finding game."

"At that time, I was wondering why it would set a ten-minute time limit. It was completely unnecessary. I guess it was because it could only trap people for ten minutes, so it was eager for people to get to its vicinity within ten minutes."

"As it turns out, my guess was indeed correct."

Gu Mian pursed his lips. Chu Changge wouldn't really die even if he did, so he could boldly experiment. But Gu Mian was different; he didn't have that many lives to prove his conjectures.

When Chu Changge got to this point, he looked at Gu Mian with some understanding and asked, "How did you guys manage?"

Judging from Gu Mian's tone, it seemed she hadn't waited ten minutes.

Without saying a word, Gu Mian reached out a hand, took the face out of her pocket, and threw it to him.

Chu Changge's eyebrows twitched as he looked at Sean's face that Gu Mian had thrown at him; he had already guessed it.

Then he continued, "After passing the faces overhead, I continued deeper into the mine and discovered a collapse at the deepest part."

Collapse?

This mine collapsed once already?

Chu Changge said, "The bomb in the mine cart should have been used at that time. I found a lot of signs of a fight around the collapse. It should have been a conflict between the miners and the people who came to rescue the factory manager."

Sean also said that many people died at the time.

Chu Changge continued, "The bomb in the mine cart was prepared long ago, you understand what I mean?"

Gu Mian paused for a moment: "Understood."

Either the miners had prepared bombs to commit suicide together, or the rescue team had prepared bombs to leave everyone here alive.

He remembered that the bomb's description said it was for "military use only," so it was obvious which side had prepared it.

"What information was it to prevent from leaking out? They didn't even plan to save a big shot like Factory Director Sean, and just blew up the hole along with him." Gu Mian stroked her chin.

Chu Changge nodded slightly: "Actually, I wanted to come to the hospital after I came out of the mine because I found this near the mine cart, a medical examination report."

As he spoke, he pulled out another crumpled medical examination report.

The main content is no longer legible, but a few lines of text are still recognizable.

This medical report is slightly different from the one issued by Gu Mian Hospital, but it's still understandable.

The examination included multiple subjects, and all results showed no abnormalities. Overall, this was a very healthy medical examination report.

Looking at this long list of "no abnormalities found", Gu Mian felt a surge of vibrant life force.

Why did Chu Changge find such a vibrant medical examination report in the mine?

This was clearly a medical examination report from one of the miners. Gu Mian remembered that the travel brochure mentioned that Sean would regularly send the miners for medical checkups.

Although others praised Sean to the skies, Sean himself was very reluctant to mention the hospital, as if he had done something shameful there.

Chu Changge clearly had the same idea as Gu Mian.

The two exchanged a glance, then looked ahead in the direction of the hospital.

But at that moment, they also heard a roaring sound from afar, as if several cars were driving on the road in the distance.

Gu Mian's scalp tingled: "Could it be that damn biological warfare team again?"

“It’s very likely,” Chu Changge nodded slightly. “If you don’t want a gunfight, we’d better hurry.”

Gu Mian slammed on the gas pedal in exasperation: "You've turned a perfectly good horror game into a PUBG match!"

But when Gu Mian rushed to the hospital, he discovered that it was indeed a real supernatural instance.
