Fear of food

Chapter 50 Found it!
Chen Qi and the other two used all their strength to rush towards the stairs at the end of the corridor.

Behind them, "Madam Wu" took a few quick, blurry steps, rapidly closing the distance between them.

The incessant sound of high heels was like a death knell, making their heartbeats quicken along with the footsteps.

Just as the three of them were about to reach the stairwell, Madam Wu suddenly flung her scalp out.

The scalp spun, causing a head of beautiful hair to dance. There was a ring of lips around the edge of the scalp, and beneath the lips was a ring of serrated steel teeth.

The scalp spun rapidly, slathering over the head of the last-running swill-eater.

The swill-drinker cursed loudly, "Damn it! The flying guillotine!"

At the same time, he lunged to the side, preparing to dodge.

But the scalp seemed to have locked onto him, and changed direction to continue flying towards him.

At the critical moment, Chen Qi gripped the baguette with both hands and swung it with all his might, successfully knocking the scalp off.

He pulled up the swill, and the three of them rushed up the stairs, climbing towards the 15th floor.

As he climbed the stairs, Gan Shui said with lingering fear, "This monster looks sinister and seems very difficult to deal with!"

Zhui Feng said, "That's obvious! Anyone who can use a domain must be a high-level parasite."

They can only simply classify the parasites into two levels at present.

The lower level is "family level," which refers to the parasites that are the family members of these alien eaters. They can undergo some physical mutations, but their main means of attack is still physical attacks.

The most advanced level is "domain level," which can create a domain that affects a surrounding area, and the methods are even more unpredictable.

The parasites I encountered before, like the butcher at the market, were at the domain level.

Chen Qi frowned, a slight doubt in his heart.

The main issue is that the timing of "Madam Wu's" activation of the domain is somewhat strange.

It could even be said that the emergence of the field at that time helped Chen Qi and his team.

If she had activated her domain any later, Chen Qi and the others would have been entangled by security guards, and in order to escape, they would have had to use food derived from swill.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them had reached the 15th floor.

The 15th floor looked particularly eerie and sinister at this moment. Affected by the domain, the corridor lights dimmed and flickered.

The security guards on the 15th floor are mostly on the 14th floor. The patients are all locked in their rooms and can't come out. You can see the corridor from one end to the other without seeing a single person.

Only a few medical staff wandered around the medical stations and other corners, like a group of walking corpses.

The entire 15th floor was quiet; not a sound could be heard.

But this also made the sound of high heels chasing from behind even more obvious!
Swill whispered, "Biscuit, go find the cream cake! Chasing Wind and I will go together; we'll be bigger targets and attract her attention. If there's any real danger, I'll eat the derivative food!"

Chen Qi nodded; this division of labor was very reasonable.

So he went straight into the nearest restaurant area.

Although the two men, Jishui and the others, helped him draw the fire, he still tried to be as quiet as possible, minimizing the sound of his footsteps while increasing his speed.

He moved around the restaurant, making sure his food detection function covered every corner.

Before they had even explored halfway, Chen Qi heard a change in the continuous sound of high heels; the pace slowed down, indicating that Madam Wu was going up the stairs.

He ignored it and continued searching the restaurant area.

A moment later, the sound of high heels changed again. Mrs. Wu had arrived on the 15th floor, but then the sound of high heels stopped abruptly!

The sound was like an alarm; although frightening, it also reported Mrs. Wu's location to him in real time.

The sudden silence was even more unsettling.

Chen Qi wasn't sure if the other person was standing still or had used some method to cover their footsteps...

He could only continue searching for the cream cake at his own pace. Suddenly, the sound of high heels appeared again, and this time it accelerated abruptly!
Chen Qin could tell that the footsteps were rapidly approaching him!

His eyelids twitched, his heart leaped into his throat, and he scanned left and right, searching for a place to hide.

The closed ward's dining hall has no kitchen; the meals are all prepared and delivered by the hospital cafeteria. There is only one restroom for patients to wash their hands before and after meals.

Chen Qi quickly swooped down and rushed into the restroom connected to the restaurant.

He had just entered the restroom when he heard the sound of high heels approaching from behind, but then the footsteps stopped again.

Chen Qi didn't know if Madam Wu had left or not. He wanted to peek out but was afraid of exposing himself, so he could only hide under the sink, gripping his baguette tightly, ready for anything.

Time passed slowly, and although only ten or twenty seconds had passed, Chen Qi felt as if an eternity had gone by.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a hand appear beside him!
A woman's hand with silver nail plates, her fingers long and slender, quite beautiful, but at this moment it sent chills down Chen Qi's spine.

He instinctively wanted to strike with the stick, thinking it was better to strike first than later, but he immediately restrained himself and turned his head to look closely.

Then we saw Madam Wu walking with her feet up and her head down, supporting her body with her arms.

However, since her head was now a large, split mouth resembling a flower petal, without eyes or ears, she didn't seem to see Chen Qi, who was less than half a meter away from her.

That jagged mouth was right in front of me, and drool was still dripping from it.

With each breath, she exhaled a nauseating, fishy stench.

Chen Qi's gaze moved upwards and saw that between her legs was the scalp she had removed, and her eyes, ears and other organs were on that scalp.

"She must be seeing with eyes on her scalp," Chen Qi guessed to himself.

Because of the water tank, Chen Qi was in her blind spot.

Just then, a loud banging came from the cafeteria entrance.

Zhui Feng and Gan Shui had deliberately made noise in the corridor, but Madam Wu ignored them completely.

They watched helplessly as Madam Wu followed Chen Qi into the restaurant, and in their anxiety, they could only try to attract Madam Wu's hatred again.

Madam Wu flipped forward, switching her arms and legs to walking on two feet, instantly increasing her speed as she chased after Zhui Feng and his companion.

The two of them took off running, knowing they couldn't outrun Madam Wu in a straight line, so they plunged into the medical station and used the terrain to their advantage.

As the sound of high heels faded into the distance, Chen Qi finally felt relieved and quickly returned to the corridor to continue his search.

With time running out, he abandoned his previous search methods and started running.

Anyway, as long as there's a cream cake within three meters of the area he's in, he'll definitely be able to spot it!

The downside of this is that the search is not thorough enough, and some areas may be missed, especially the ward area. If you don't go inside and just pass by the door, you may not be able to detect a small part of the area.

But the advantage is that it is more efficient.

As long as he could hear the sound of high heels coming from afar, he didn't need to worry about Madam Wu and could move freely on the 15th floor.

Chen Qi moved through the various areas like a gust of wind, passing by each ward.

Suddenly, he slammed on the brakes, turned his head to look at a ward behind him, and his face lit up with ecstatic joy!

found it!
Finally found!
Just when he was losing hope and doubting that the cream cake had been moved, that familiar, powerful attraction flashed by.

He retreated to the door of that ward, the familiar allure captivating him, making him breathe heavily and lose control.

Chen Qi's hands trembled slightly with excitement as he took out his access card and opened the ward.

A look of astonishment immediately appeared on his face.

"Brother Sun?"
