Chapter 54: The Morgue

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Have you asked Old Black? What did he say?

Sister Li shook her head.

I asked him just now, but Old Black hasn't replied yet.

Kun Ba, who had been silent all this time, said, Or maybe he doesn't want to reply.

Everyone fell silent again.

Hao Zhou clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

Cheer up. Everyone might have some doubts about this mission. To be honest, I'm the same.

But if we think about it carefully, it doesn't make any difference to us whether the generator is on or not.

We are mercenaries, and our first goal is to complete the mission. In short, we will start preparing to retreat in 50 minutes.

No one raised any objections.

Hao Zhou's words were also correct.

After all, Old Black only said that they needed to blow up the generator. He did not say whether the generator was on or off.

Fang Heng felt that Old Black's mission was related to the T-virus serum mission that he had on hand.

It was necessary to go to the underground floor to take a look.

There's still some time. I want to go down and take a look. Does anyone want to go with me?

The team members looked at each other again.

No one responded.

Hao Zhou advised, Fang Heng, there's no need for that. We just need to blow up the generator set to complete the mission. Don't create unnecessary complications.

I'll go alone. I'll try my best to rush back in 50 minutes. It'll be the same as before. If I don't make it back, don't bother about me.

Wait a minute. I'll go with you. It's safer with more people.

Kun Ba stood up.

Thank you for saving my brother not long ago. We brothers don't like to owe others favours.

Okay.

It was safer to have more people around.

Fang Heng agreed immediately and left the generator room with Kun Ba to the underground morgue.

I also feel that this mission is strange.

On the pathway to the first underground floor, Kun Ba broke the silence and handed Fang Heng a piece of A4 paper.

I found this when I was searching just now. It was pasted on the cabinet in the maintenance room.

Fang Heng took the note and read it.

[Job tips: All maintenance staff to take note. Given the recent repeated incidents, please ensure that the air-conditioning in the underground morgue is turned on 24 hours a day and set up a 24-hour rotation inspection team.]

[Remarks: The temperature in the morgue must be below 0 degrees Celsius, and the temperature in the freezer must be below -28 degrees Celsius.]

Fang Heng read the contents of the A4 paper and muttered softly.

Just looking at the content, there doesn't seem to be a problem.

Yeah. Kun Ba nodded as well. There's only this note in the room and I don't know what 'repeated incidents' mean.

The entrance to the first underground floor was next to the pathway elevator.

Due to the loss of the power supply, the elevator had already lost its effectiveness.

The two of them took care of a few zombies blocking the way and entered the first underground floor.

On the left side of the first underground floor, there was a passage leading to the morgue.

On the right side, there was a direction leading to the underground parking lot.

The iron gate leading to the parking lot had fallen, completely blocking the way.

Fang Heng and Kun Ba exchanged looks and walked into the passage together.

The morgue was at the end of the passage.

The sign for the emergency passage above the door was still lit.

Sure enough, the backup generator provided power to the morgue.

What is this?

Walking to the door of the morgue, Fang Heng noticed that there was a note on the door of the morgue.

[Emergency notice: Due to frequent problems in the morgue, the use of the morgue has been temporarily suspended and it is under an emergency maintenance state.]

[During the maintenance period, the warehouse on the second floor of the hospital will be temporarily used as a backup facility. Under normal circumstances, the corpses will be sent directly to the funeral parlour.]

Fang Heng scratched his head.

Frequent problems in the morgue?

He felt that he had vaguely caught something, and for a moment, he did not quite understand.

Fang Heng turned his head to look at Kun Ba.

The latter had the same blank expression on his face.

Kun Ba suggested in a low voice, Shall we go in and take a look first?

Yes.

Fang Heng approached the door and leaned over, trying to listen to the movements inside the morgue.

The inside of the morgue was abnormally quiet.

Fang Heng tried to push the door open again.

It could not be opened.

There was a card slot that could be inserted into the wall on the right side of the morgue.

Fang Heng thought of the magnetic card that he had just found in the dean's office.

[Item-Dean's magnetic card.]

Type: Miscellaneous.

Description: The magnetic card of the dean of Hope Town Community Hospital. On the front, there is the dean's photo. You can decompose it into waste plastic.

Fang Heng tried to insert the magnetic card into the card slot.

Beep! Verification passed. Welcome, dean Verone.

Click.

The door of the morgue automatically opened in front of Fang Heng.

A gust of cold air blew in from the morgue.

The temperature of the air conditioning in the morgue was very low, and the dim lights were still on.

Fang Heng stood at the door with a shotgun in one hand, trying to get a clear view of the situation inside the morgue.

The morgue was in a mess, with bloodstains all over the place.

At a glance, more than ten corpses were lying on the ground.

They were all dead?

Fang Heng lowered his head and looked at the two corpses near the door.

The parts above their necks were gone, and their necks were badly mutilated.

Were their heads shot because of the zombie transformation?

The way they handled it was quite professional.

Fang Heng pursed his lips. He and Kun Ba carefully walked into the room and searched carefully.

Fang Heng, all the zombies here have no heads. It seems that they were cleaned up in advance.

Kun Ba also noticed the abnormality of the corpses. He squatted down to examine it carefully.

Eh?

What's wrong?

It's very strange. The wound on the neck of the body is quite strange. It doesn't feel like it was cut off by someone, nor did it look like it was blown open by a gun.

A puzzled look appeared on Kun Ba's face. It's more like it exploded from the inside out.

What? You're saying that he blew himself up?

Fang Heng frowned. Before he had time to search further, his heart suddenly jumped.

He felt an extremely dangerous feeling and quickly turned his head. His gaze focused on an iron door on the side of the morgue.

The danger perception skill had been activated!

Fang Heng immediately raised his shotgun and aimed at the small door, staring at it.

What's behind the door?

Even when he encountered mutated zombies, Fang Heng had never felt such a strong sense of danger.

Kun Ba noticed that Fang Heng's expression had become extremely serious, so he immediately stood up and stood beside Fang Heng, putting on a battle stance.

He asked in a low voice, What's wrong, Fang Heng?

It's a skill of mine. I feel that there's something strange behind that door.

Fang Heng replied in a low voice.

Pa

There was an extremely weak sound.

The lights above the two of them were instantly extinguished.

The entire morgue instantly became extremely dark.

A power failure!?

Fang Heng was shocked. He quickly took two steps back and took out a flashlight to light up the area in front of him.

Kun Ba also took out a flashlight to illuminate the surroundings..
