Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 405 Mutation

Meanwhile, in another building of the mental hospital used for treatment.

The unknown beings who had been yelling about the damn doctors and nurses screamed and chased after them. Doctor Xu and others who were running ahead did not dare to stay any longer. The colleague who had his head scratched and smashed could only give up there.

People kept running forward.

Looking back on these short few hours, Dr. Xu only felt shocked.

He knew that the mental hospital was in chaos when he caught a glimpse of the "nurse" whose head turned 180 degrees and turned back to look at him on the first floor of the inpatient area.

Those ghosts that only appeared at night and had to abide by certain behavioral logic were completely out of control, running out of their respective areas of activity, and even launched attacks on living people.

Dr. Xu looked around and called to his colleagues behind him to follow him.

Barely able to dodge the nurse's attack with dexterity, several medical staff ran forward and glanced at the stairs going up. The solidified bloody footprints and long drag marks there proved that they had been there before. What happened.

"Run to another building." Dr. Xu made a judgment, "Go to the operating room next door!"

The rest of the people basically followed Dr. Xu, but there were a few exceptions. They walked towards the elevator obsessively, rushed in, and kept clicking the buttons for the floors upstairs.

No matter how the people outside shouted, this person had no intention of coming out. No matter how cold or shivering he was, he still had to stand inside. Suddenly, the lights in the elevator dimmed and turned red, and the door slammed shut. There was only a thud. With that sound, the elevator seemed to have plummeted to a dozen floors.

However, there should only be two floors underground.

The remaining people didn't dare to stay too long. Some people were obsessed with deserting the team and dying, and there was no way to stop them.

After a short walk, passing through the long corridor that serves as a link between the two buildings, Dr. Xu found that there was one less person behind him. He had no idea when the person disappeared. He could only hear something in the dim lights behind him. The sound of chewing again and again.

The situation does not seem to be as smooth as Doctor Xu thought.

He ran to the building next door. He just had to walk up the stairs to the operating room... Huh?

There were also drag marks of different shades on the steps in front of him, as if someone had been dragged up from the first floor one after another after being injured. One of the marks had long since dried up.

Dr. Xu took a few beats to realize that the building here was no longer safe.

The breaking of the activity trajectories of those non-human creatures also includes the ability to enter this building.

The humans continued to run upwards, and a patient with a vague face rushed out in the middle. Judging from his twisted limbs and pale skin, he was obviously dead. The patient murmured a name, which was exactly the person who was following Dr. Xu. member.

Everyone knows what happened next. Before reaching the door of the operating room, the man tripped over foreign objects scattered on the ground and was beaten to pieces by the patient whose face was blurred.

Dr. Xu witnessed this scene, his eyelids twitched, he took out the key from his pocket without any trembling, and quickly and accurately inserted and turned the door lock on the side.

The operating room was opened and the remaining people crowded in.

When the door of the operating room was closed again, the cold white light turned on with the press of a switch.

The clean walls came into view, and there were no grotesque and bloody scenes, which made people feel relieved. Dr. Xu walked inside, continued to take the key to unlock the door, and went to the innermost room to get something.

Scalpel... scalpel, where is the scalpel?

Dr. Xu rummaged through the cabinet, looking for various instruments for surgery.

Doctors like him don't have any advanced methods or talents. At most, they use some special tools to perform some special effects, such as scalpels... In layman's terms, these medical equipment are enchanted.

At the same time, their mental hospital also requires employees to have a strong body and good skills, just to be able to resist in special situations.

For example, take a special scalpel and make two gestures. It was easy to find the instruments that had been used for the surgery the day before. My colleagues who used this place before didn't hide their things too far inside. I guess it was against the rules, but in the current situation, it actually made it more convenient.

Dr. Xu got the scalpel.

The sharp and silvery blade was held in his hand, and the human gained some confidence. He was about to call other colleagues to come over and share something together, but no matter how he called at this moment, no one responded behind him.

Confused, Dr. Xu turned around.

When he turned around, he almost dropped the scalpel he was holding on to the ground.

What did he see?

White, flesh-colored... red and yellow - no, no, no, how could the walls and ceiling of the operating room be this color? Was he dazzled?

Dr. Xu rubbed his eyes with his free hand, but the scene was still the same as what he had seen before, with red and yellow colors mixed with a bit of flesh pink spreading across the area, which was larger than the human eye.

Looking to the outside of the operating room, through the thick glass wall, Dr. Xu saw several faces that were squashed and pressed against the glass. Without exception, several colleagues had their living space occupied by unknown white objects that expanded. .

Their faces stuck there and gradually became flat. At first, they could still make a few embouchures with their mouths. Later, the whole face became flat, and all the raised edges and corners were pressed into the same plane, and the ears seemed to be I can hallucinate and hear the sound of bones cracking.

When, when did these things appear?

No...that's not right. This building and this operating room should be a very strong place!

Perhaps the cry in the doctor's heart failed to reach the outside world. He watched helplessly as the door closed in front of him shook twice, as if something was crashing outside.

Is it the patient from before? No... the patient can't make this noise.

Dr. Xu raised the scalpel forward vigilantly, and stretched the other hand behind his back, trying to touch something to defend himself, but when he touched it, he felt something soft and sticky.

The cold metal texture was gone, and the walls of the iron box were not as smooth. Doctor Xu's hand seemed to have sunk into something.

He turned around suddenly and found that the wall behind him... no, not just the wall, the wall and the cabinet leaning on it were swallowed up by a yellow-brown object.

Therefore, these things do not enter from the outside world, but grow directly from around the wall.

Dr. Xu immediately stabbed the scalpel in his hand. He turned around and made several cuts towards the area where his other hand was sunk.

I don't know if it was because of the strength he used or because the scalpel did have a unique effect. Dr. Xu successfully freed his hand, and he quickly moved away from the area that was gradually becoming ominous.

After taking two steps back, Dr. Xu turned around again.

He suddenly realized that the situation seemed a bit bad.

What is in front of him?

The walls and floor were stained with flesh-colored spots, and the flesh-colored protrusions were still bulging, as if they were alive and moving.

Someone was close to Dr. Xu. When he avoided it, he slashed his knife across the knife. The yellow-brown sticky substance spurted out instantly and splashed on the corners of clothes where people could not dodge.

In an instant, Dr. Xu heard the sound of the fabric being corroded.

At the same time, in another location in the mental hospital, the dark-skinned man who directed the "follower" to lead the short-haired woman forward looked up at the empty ceiling.

"Assimilate...?"

"What a bold plan."
