Chen Zhuo stopped speaking, then suddenly turned around and kicked the person who attacked from behind away.

He then raised his white bone cane and pierced the person who was about to rush forward.

Ruan Ning, who had not yet found any clues, quickly stopped what she was doing, suddenly exerted her core strength, and used the toes of her left foot as a pivot to quickly sweep her right leg backward.

The mentally ill person who had been closing in on her was knocked to the ground by her kick.

Just then, Ruan Ning stood up, raised the treacherous weapon, aimed it at his vital parts, and stabbed it in hard!

Just as Chen Zhuo had previously predicted, the assimilation of this patient was so deep that there was no way for them to return to normal.

It's better for them to die than to live in agony!

Ruan Ning dealt with the mentally ill person who lunged at her in the shortest possible time.

Just as they were preparing to rescue the others, they suddenly heard a heart-wrenching cry for help coming from the stairwell.

"Help! Mr. Chen, please save me!"

The man holding the lighter looked back at the mentally ill person relentlessly pursuing him, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Damn it! Why are there so many mentally ill people chasing after me, but so few chasing after other people?"

The man ran with all his might toward Chen Zhuo, who was closest to him, but in his panic he didn't notice where he was stepping.

As his right leg landed again, he immediately realized that he seemed to have stepped on something.

The man knew something was wrong, but before he could react, he fell backward.

As he fell to the ground, the lighter in his hand was thrown aside, and the flame went out.

Just as the man hurriedly got up, Chen Zhuo's cold voice suddenly came from in front of him.

"Lie down!"

Looking at the mentally ill person so close to him, the man who originally wanted to get up and continue running gritted his teeth and did as Chen Zhuo said.

He closed his eyes tightly, like a sinner awaiting judgment, ready to face his fate.

The moment he lay down, a gust of wind brushed against his chest and swept towards the direction of the mentally ill person.

He then heard several screams coming from above.

The man hesitated before opening his eyes, raising his hand to touch his body. Finding no injuries, he quickly got up from the ground.

He repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Chen Zhuo, who had already resolved all his mental illnesses.

However, Chen Zhuo ignored him and was thinking about something.

Although he couldn't see them, he could still pinpoint their locations based on the eerie aura emanating from these mentally ill individuals.

Just now, Chen Zhuo discovered something.

He noticed that a large portion of the mentally ill people who followed the man returned to normal when the fire went out, stopped targeting that man, and began hunting down other people without any rhyme or reason.

This strange phenomenon perfectly confirms Chen Zhuo's previous guess!

Just as he was sorting out his thoughts, Ruan Ning walked back to the corpse and prepared to continue the unfinished examination.

"Miss Ruan, it's pitch black here. Let me shine a flashlight for you."

One of the survivors, a woman, took out her phone, turned on the flashlight, and walked over to Ruan Ning to provide light for her.

Compared to the flame from a lighter, the beam of a flashlight was more concentrated, illuminating only a small area around the two people.

Under the light, the shadows of the two people were gradually lengthened on the ground.

Ruan Ning carefully examined the corpse, trying to determine what caused the fatal wounds.

Suddenly, she froze on the spot, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stared intently at the fatal wound on the corpse: "Could this be...?"

"Miss Ruan, what did you say?"

Seeing Ruan Ning suddenly stop, the woman curiously moved closer.

The moment she took a step, Chen Zhuo, who was deep in thought, suddenly looked up and gazed at the middle of the corridor.

Just now, the previously strange and eerie aura has changed again!

Moreover, this time the eerie energy was not suppressed again, and it was heading towards them at an extremely fast speed!

"Someone turned on the light!"

Chen Zhuo is blind and cannot see the light at all.

Realizing this, he immediately shouted to everyone, "No one is allowed to turn on the lights!"

This was something he had wanted to say earlier, but with the chaos of war just now, no one would listen to him anyway.

Just as Chen Zhuo was warning everyone, the woman holding the flashlight paused for a moment.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she placed her phone steadily in the corner of the wall, so that it could completely illuminate her position, and then quickly moved behind Ruan Ning.

Upon hearing Chen Zhuo's words, Ruan Ning immediately snapped out of her surprise and prepared to get up to turn off the flashlight. At the same time, she told Chen Zhuo about her discovery.

Before she could even get up, she suddenly felt pressure on the back of her neck, and then she realized that someone was choking her!

The moment the feeling of suffocation came, Ruan Ning did not panic. Instead, she immediately reached for the hands that were pinching her and used all her strength to pry them apart.

As the one who opened the door, Ruan Ning's physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary women, so she easily pried it open.

She gripped those hands tightly, then turned around and seized the person behind her.

"Tell me! Why did you do this?!"

Ruan Ning questioned coldly, "That force just now was clearly meant to strangle me to death, how could I not be angry!"

However, as soon as she said this, Ruan Ning saw the woman's panicked eyes. The emotions expressed in those eyes were clearly a plea for help and fear.

Based on her earlier findings, Ruan Ning had her answer!

She just discovered that the wounds on these corpses were not caused by some strange force, but by physical attacks such as scratches and bites.

All signs indicate that this group died from infighting!

She had been wondering why these people were killing each other, but now that she saw the woman in front of her, everything made sense.

This group of people were controlled and forced to start killing each other!

But why is she alright? And why is everyone else alright too?

Just as Ruan Ning was stunned, the woman suddenly raised her leg and kicked over the cell phone that was placed next to her.

The phone was placed upside down on the ground, and the light spread outwards, illuminating most of the people present.

It even shines through the windows of the wards into some of the other unopened wards.

From the moment Chen Zhuo spoke to the moment the woman kicked over the phone, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Before anyone around him could react, Chen Zhuo's ears twitched slightly, and he immediately pinpointed the location of the phone.

He immediately prepared to rush forward and destroy the phone completely, thus plunging the corridor back into darkness.

Just as he was about to make his move, Chen Zhuo suddenly felt a strange power appear in his body, with a faint feeling that it wanted to control him!

At this moment, Chen Zhuo completely understood this strange ability and its underlying patterns!

Realizing this, he immediately mobilized the strange energy within his body and, in the blink of an eye, forcefully expelled this suddenly appearing and unfamiliar power from his body!

Then, at top speed, he rushed towards the phone.

But in the blink of an eye, there are so many things that can be done.

The survivors who appeared with shadows and moved paused their movements for a moment.

The man who had been holding the lighter quickly grabbed a shard of glass from the ground and stabbed it into the chest of the person in front of him!

puff!

Glass shards pierced flesh, and blood splattered out.

The person being stabbed seemed oblivious, raising their hand to fiercely grab the man's eyes!

Apart from the two of them, the other survivors under the lights started killing each other!

clap clap clap!

Just a second before they took action, several more mental patients rushed out of the ward illuminated by the lights.

The situation quickly descended into utter chaos!
