As it was a supernatural world, Kisaragi Station wasn't pitch-black at night.
As most of the water and electricity in the area were still working, if one stood at a junction and looked ahead, they would see that the road leading to Kitty Provincial Hospital was illuminated by the street lamps.
Some of the street lights were broken, so the road would be plunged into darkness. Lin Sanjiu and the others arrived at the entrance of the Provincial Hospital in the dark night.
"You guys can hide at the side for now," the cat doctor instructed. The brightly lit hospital building illuminated his entire body with a shiny fur. "I'll try and see if I can bring you guys in …"
The Provincial Hospital had become a mutated building. If Lin Sanjiu and her companions stepped into the building, they would definitely become competitors for the number of lives. Their experience in the library would repeat itself. Even though they did not have more than 108 lives, Lin Sanjiu was so worried about her own body that she did not have the mood to fight for the lives of others.
Through the glass door of the hospital, they could see a young nurse standing in the lobby on the first floor of the hospital. She was dressed in a pink nurse's uniform. She kept looking left and right as if she was a pretty girl waiting for someone. Occasionally, she would turn her head and shout something in the direction of the hospital with her rotting face.
Compared to this nurse, Siri was so much cuter.
Under the watchful eyes of the people behind it, the black-and-white kitten moved very quickly. It entered the hospital gate almost instantaneously. Before the nurse could finish her sentence, she was immediately cut off. She stared at the kitten with her charred face for a few seconds.
"Is … Is this Doctor Hu?"
The nurse seemed very hesitant as she asked slowly. When she spoke, her jaw moved as if it was squeezing out the rotting gas that had accumulated in her body. Lin Sanjiu could clearly see the bicolor cat take a few steps back.
"It's great that Doctor Hu is back. You can take charge of the work here." The nurse's voice was very strange. "I can report to you that there are a total of 25 family members and 12 patients in the hospital. We haven't found Patient Contagious yet … "
The cat doctor quickly waved his paw and interrupted her sternly, "You are doing a good job here. You don't have to hand it over to me. I just want to bring a few interns back for a check-up … You can continue with your work. "
The nurse stared at the cat in silence. She didn't seem to understand what the cat was trying to say, nor did she know what to do in such a situation. The cat doctor didn't dare to delay any longer. He quickly went out and called Lin Sanjiu and the others in. He kept talking to distract the nurse, "You can continue. What kind of system does the hospital have now? Why do they have to find patients with infectious diseases … "
While he was talking, he quickly ushered Lin Sanjiu and the others up the stairs. Since he couldn't make any sound with his mouth, he had no choice but to speak in a low voice, "Second floor, A218! Wait for me there! "
Lin Sanjiu, Rena, and Rena didn't dare to delay any further. They rushed upstairs. When they reached the second floor, they could vaguely hear the cat doctor's voice explaining, "They aren't, they aren't … researchers, right … uh. It's an internship … "
With the cat doctor holding the nurse back, Lin Sanjiu and the others finally entered the building without having to participate in the competition.
The second floor was clean and bright. Every light was dutifully lit. However, some tools, thermometers, white coats, and other items were strewn all over the corridor. The departments were also in a mess. It looked as if the people here had fled in a hurry and no one knew when they would return.
The hospital occupied a large area. The second floor was divided into A, B, D, and a few other areas. At this moment, they could hear a faint human voice from an unknown direction. It was so soft that they thought they had misheard. It must be the posthumans who were fighting for lives here.
A218 was a room with double doors. It seemed to be a very large room.
The door wasn't locked. Lin Sanjiu cautiously scanned the room with her higher consciousness. When she didn't see anyone, she quickly entered the room. Rena and Rena followed her silently and closed the door slowly.
The cat doctor said that they needed hospital equipment for this step of the experiment. It seemed to be true. The room was about 40 to 50 square meters. Half of the room was filled with all sorts of weird looking, cold machines that they couldn't name. The other half was filled with whiteboards, office desks, and water troughs.
"Huh?" Rena was a little puzzled. "Why is there such a big glass water trough here?"
The water trough was about the size of a pond. It was half filled with green water. It looked so dirty that it seemed to have coagulated. There wasn't a single ripple on it. Thick yellow scales had formed on the surface of the glass. It was a stark contrast to the modern, silver-grey machines on the other side.
Both Rena and Reno were teenagers, so they couldn't suppress their curiosity and moved closer to the water trough. Just as the faint smell of formalin entered their nostrils, they heard a splash. A huge, swollen, pale human face suddenly slammed into the side of the glass trough. The two of them were shocked. They gasped and took a few steps back. Only then did they see that the thing was like a huge fish. It turned around and disappeared into the dirty green water.
"Huh? I didn't expect it to still be alive after so long." The bicolor cat, who had just pushed open the door and came in, said with a little astonishment. "This duoluozhong was one of my observation targets at that time. However, I failed to fish for it. I wasted a few of my good fishes …"
"Are you a doctor or a mad scientist?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help thinking to herself.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. There are still many posthumans out there," the cat jumped onto a machine that looked like a surgical bed but had a tunnel-like cover. He urged Rena, "Put the corpse here. Through some bioelectric tests, we might be able to find out if the foreign cell is still alive …"
Lin Sanjiu did as she was told and placed her corpse on the "bed". The cat doctor immediately became a little excited and started working on the corpse. Soon, Lin Sanjiu saw that her "other self" was stuck with some sort of metal disk from head to toe. There were even steel needles connected to electric wires in some places. It looked very convincing.
"Are you ready?" The cat doctor looked at the screen. He was a little nervous, "I —"
Before it could finish its sentence, they heard the frightening shout of the nurse downstairs. It was surprisingly clear, "Patient Zero has appeared. Everyone, please take note. Patient Zero's current coordinates are near Room 20 in Area A." (To be continued)
