Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 365 Centipede
Inside the second-floor clinic, the curtains were drawn, and three figures lurked in the room, cautiously observing the outside world through the gaps in the curtains.

"Dr. Wu, there's no sound outside, and there's no cell phone signal. Have we been transported to another time like in the news reports?"

"No, the phone still has no signal. We're doomed. Have we really traveled through time like in the novels? Dr. Wu, do you think we can go back?"

Wu Shanqi forced a stiff smile. "I don't know either."

Through the campfire burning on the balcony of the building in front, the outlines of the buildings were faintly visible.

He couldn't guarantee anything else, but he was certain that the place across the street was definitely not the maternal and child health hospital.

Moreover, the surrounding environment is pitch black; even during a total solar eclipse, it shouldn't get dark this quickly.

He thought about the things that had been frequently mentioned in the news recently, as well as what the leaders had said in meetings, and a strange guess involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that my building, like those missing buildings in the news, has been chosen?!

Thinking of this, Wu Shanqi felt a little panicked.

No way! My wife is almost due! Does that mean my baby will be born without a father?

The patient couple was still talking incessantly in his ear.

"Dr. Wu, I have a feeling that we really have traveled through time."

"What should we do? Can we still go back?"

“It’s all your fault for insisting on coming to the doctor today. Now look what’s happened, we can’t go back. The child is still at school, and no one is going to pick him up.”

"You blame me? If it weren't for you..." "Quiet!!" A nameless fire suddenly surged in Wu Shanqi's heart.

"You yelled at me?" The female patient was taken aback. The male patient adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "Dr. Wu, your attitude is something that will get you a complaint."

Wu Shanqi's face turned ashen. Were these two crazy?
Forget it, I wouldn't come to the hospital if I wasn't sick.

"Ah!!!" A sharp scream came from downstairs.

Immediately afterwards, panicked cries came from downstairs.

The sound of frantic running could be heard coming from the stairwell next door.

Wu Shanqi's expression changed slightly as he opened the consultation room door.

At this moment, rows of emergency lights on the ceiling lit up in the corridor, casting distorted shadows in the narrow passageway with their dim, pale light.

The door to the emergency exit next door was pushed open, and two young nurses in pink uniforms rushed in, looking around in a panic.

"What happened?" Wu Shanqi asked quickly.

"There's a monster down there!"

"Run! It's coming up here!"

"Help! Get out of my way!"

The security door that had just been closed was pushed open again, and several people ran in, closing the door behind them after entering the room.

"Bang bang bang!"

The door had just closed when a loud banging came from behind.

"Open the door!" came a roar from behind the door.

Immediately afterwards, the roar turned into a scream.

There was also the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Wu Shanqi turned pale, ran back to his room, picked up his phone from the table, and then opened a drawer to take out a flashlight.

The emergency exit here is blocked, so he had to change direction. He turned his head to look in the other direction. Although he didn't know what it was, it was too dangerous to stay on the lower floor. He had to run to a higher floor.

Just as I ran out of the clinic, the door to the emergency exit next door was suddenly pushed open by a large, bloodstained hand, and a venomous curse came from behind the door, "It's all your fault for closing the door, let's all die together."

The door was pushed open, and a dark red body surged in through the gap.

By the dim emergency light at the entrance of the passage, Wu Shanqi could see clearly that it was a giant centipede that was thicker than an adult male's thigh!
The dark red carapace and the jet-black, scimitar-like limbs sent chills down his spine.

The large hand that had pushed open the door fell limply to its side. The safety door, which had been pulled open, was about to close automatically, but the centipede's body blocked the door. Its segmented limbs wriggled like dense fingers, and then, two slender tentacles emerged from the gap in the doorway.

Wu Shanqi's pupils contracted.
This was a giant centipede with a scarlet shell, its countless legs thrashing wildly on both sides, forcing its way in. After it squeezed in, the centipede stuck at the entrance also kept wriggling, and under the eerie green light of the safety passage, countless dark shadows were visible.

Wu Shanqi held his breath; there was more than one of these things!

run!
Only this one thought remained in his mind.

But he felt his legs were going weak and he wanted to run, but he couldn't move at all.

He has been afraid of arthropods with many legs since he was a child, especially centipedes and centipedes.

Upon seeing the massive swarm of giant insects that looked like they had been given hormones and mutated, Wu Shanqi nearly collapsed to his knees.

"Run!" The couple who had been in his hospital room grabbed his arm when they saw him standing there in a daze.

Using the strength of his arm, Wu Shanqi staggered a few steps and almost fell to his knees.

A rhythmic tapping sound came from behind, like countless fingers striking the PVC floor.

"Oh!"

Wu Shanqi slammed the safety door shut behind him, then turned on his flashlight. The light illuminated the stairs ahead, and the three of them turned pale.

Thick blood could be seen flowing down the stairs from above, one step at a time.

Slowly moving the flashlight, above the corner of the stairs, half an arm weakly reached out.

"Creak, creak."

The chilling sounds of chewing could be clearly heard in the blood-soaked corridor.

The flashlight beam startled it.

The sound stopped abruptly.

Two slender tentacles emerged.

At that moment, a lame joke inexplicably popped into Wu Shanqi's mind.

If you see two long, thin tentacles in the south, guess what they are.

A. Sun Wukong B. Lü Bu C. Xiao Qiang
The answer should be D now; it could also be a four-meter-long centipede.

"run!"

Wu Shanqi looked grim. He couldn't go any further up, so he could only try to find a way down.

The three had only taken two steps when, around the corner downstairs, a large centipede came running menacingly up the stairs.

The group was immediately terrified, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind.

That's it!

Strangely, the centipede passed by the three people without attacking them, but simply brushed past them.

Before they could even react to this bizarre scene, a flurry of footsteps came from downstairs.

A lithe and slender figure vaulted over the railing with one hand, and a silver light flashed from his hand.

The centipede was split in two.

Wu Shanqi stared wide-eyed at the scene in shock. What was this?
What is that he's holding in his hand?
"New here? Don't just stand there, go downstairs and wait." Cao Biansheng glanced at the three of them and waved his hand.

One person from the group behind Cao Biansheng led Wu Shanqi and the other two to the first floor.

Upon arriving at the lobby on the first floor, he discovered that many people carrying torches were patrolling the area, and they were also carrying spears and shields.

The ground was covered with the corpses of centipedes.

There were at least dozens of them at a glance.

A group of more than a dozen people sat on the chairs in the center of the hall, including nurses in pink uniforms and doctors in white coats.

Just as Wu Shanqi was looking around, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the crowd, "Old Wu?"
