"Which normal person would come to a place like this in the middle of the night? If we don't leave now, it'll be too late. "Li Xu silently moved away from the corridor behind the cupboard.
Ma Wei used the flashlight to shine down the corridor. After confirming that Chen Ge was not hiding at the corner, he also started to move back.
The two did not say a word, and they supported each other as they left the room.
Compared to when they first entered, the corridor seemed to have changed. It felt like something was different, but they could not pinpoint what was different.
Li Jiu held the flashlight and walked in front. Ma Wei turned on the flashlight on his phone and followed behind.
"Be careful, there might be more than one monster in the underground morgue."
For Ma Wei and Li Jiu, the scenario before them was the most difficult survival game they had ever played. They had to face dead bodies that could come back to life, monsters that could appear at any moment, murderers with weapons, and all kinds of unknown traps.
"Li Xu, should I leave my phone here? I have a feeling that the person from earlier will call us." Ma Wei held his phone, and his heart was filled with anxiety. More than once, the image of Chen Ge holding the hammer and calling him with a scary smile appeared in his mind, and just thinking about it made him feel uneasy.
"We'd better keep it. This is the only communication tool we have to communicate with the outside world, but remember to switch it to silent. Don't expose our location because of a phone call at a crucial moment." Li Xu thought about it more. In this dangerous situation, he seemed to have unleashed a potential that even he did not know about.
Ma Wei changed the settings on his phone, and the two retraced their steps.
Turning the corner, when they passed Morgue No. 8, Li Xu, who was walking ahead, paused. "Was it that person who opened the door? Didn't we close the door when we left? "
There was a sticky liquid on the door handle, and the smell of formalin permeated the room. Li Xu raised his flashlight to look into the room, and his eyes widened.
"What's wrong?" Ma Wei also noticed that something was wrong, and he leaned over to take a look.
The glass containers in the room were still in place, but the cadavers inside the containers were gone!
Li Xu's legs were shaking. He shone the flashlight on the ground. On the cement floor, he could clearly see several water stains extending out from the room and into the corridor that they were in.
"Those 'people' have escaped. They are also in this tunnel now." Li Xu's Adam's apple bobbed. He slowly moved the flashlight, worried that it might reveal something scary.
"Are we still going to continue forward?" Ma Wei was a little uncertain. He could not use any strength in his legs, so he could not run fast at all. If he encountered danger, he could only stay where he was and wait for death. This was the most despairing thing for him.
Li Xu was also in a dilemma. There were corpses crawling out of glass containers in the dark tunnel, as well as all kinds of unknown dangers. If he stayed here, he would have to face the madman who was no less dangerous than the monster.
"Let's move forward. We'll run at full speed. If nothing goes wrong, we'll be able to leave in ten minutes." Li Xu grabbed Ma Wei's phone. "The person with the hammer shouldn't have come out yet. I'll call the police first and then contact the security outside."
Li Xu took out his phone to call the police. The call went through, and the person picked up, but the signal was so heavily jammed that he could not hear a single word.
"This shouldn't be! Even though we're underground and the signal is not that good, it shouldn't be impossible to call the police! "
There was something in the underground morgue that was interfering with the communication, and with no other choice, Li Xu gave up.
When it rains, it pours. He felt like he had run into all the unlucky things that day.
"Let's head out first. If we run into any monsters, we'll come back." Li Xu held Ma Wei and forced a bitter smile. "For now, the only good news is that the person with the hammer doesn't seem to be from the same group as the monsters in the morgue."
The flashlight lit the way, and the two picked up their speed. When they passed Morgue No. 8, there was a soft sound coming from inside the morgue.
They did not dare go in to take a look, so they lowered their heads and pretended like they did not hear anything.
The corridor was so long that they could not see the end. After passing Morgue No. 7, there was a fork in the road, and in the middle of the two corridors stood a black shadow.
It was not tall and very thin, and it seemed to be holding something in its hands.
Ma Wei nudged Li Xu's arm. "Shall we go?"
Li Xu could not make the decision. He felt like the underground morgue was extra crowded that day.
Slowly raising his hand, he turned on the flashlight, and the light shone on the person in front of him.
Wearing a loose white coat and with long black hair, standing at the fork was a little girl.
Her head was lowered, and she was holding a rotten apple in her hands.
This strange scene made Li Jiu and Ma Wei not dare to act recklessly. They stood where they were, and a chill crept into their hearts.
Being shone on by the light, the girl slowly raised her head. She looked cute and sweet, giving off the feeling of a quiet and introverted child.
She had a pair of light brown eyes, and her gaze was focused on the apple in her hands like she was trying to taste the rotten apple in her hands.
She had smooth and delicate skin, delicate facial features, and a cute appearance. This girl was a stark contrast to the rotten apple, but what was puzzling was that when the girl looked at the apple, there was a trace of incomprehensible desire in her eyes.
The light from the flashlight made the girl frown slightly. Her small nose twitched like she had smelled something, and she slowly raised her head.
Her light brown eyes looked at Ma Wei and Li Jiu. The corners of the girl's lips curled up into a thin smile.
The smile was innocent; there was no kindness or malice; it was like a child who had found a toy that she liked.
The smile on the girl's face became brighter, but other than that, she did not show anything else. The child appeared to be acting on instinct.
"Her hair and clothes are wet, and the color of her skin is not normal. Do you think she crawled out from one of the glass containers?"
"When we went in earlier, there didn't seem to be a girl in one of the containers."
"Wasn't one of the containers opened? I suspect she came out from that container. "
Ma Wei and Li Xu were chilled by the girl's gaze. Once they thought about the possibility that the girl was a dead body, the two became even more afraid, and their bodies involuntarily retreated.
The girl stood where she was, but strange noises came from other parts of the corridor. The wheels in the white corridor rolled, and the cadaver cabinets in Morgue No. 7 creaked noisily like the things trapped inside were trying to escape.
The smell of formalin in the air thickened, and Ma Wei and Li Xu did not have much time to choose.
"If we retreat, we'll die, but if we go out, there's a chance of survival!" Li Xu gritted his teeth and grabbed Ma Wei's arm. "Let's do it! We'll charge out together! "
"Okay!"
The two made up their minds. Like cornered beasts, they prepared to fight with their lives on the line!
Li Xu aimed for the gap next to the girl. He grabbed Ma Wei, tensed his leg muscles, and leaped out like a spring.
"The corridor on the right is not painted white!"
Normally, it was Li Xu who hid behind Ma Wei, but this time, since Ma Wei's leg was injured, Li Xu stood out.
He led the way, and his expression was twisted from extreme fear. He screamed at the top of his lungs, "Quick!"
The two rushed at the girl as fast as they could. By then, the sound of the wheels was getting closer. What Li Xu and Ma Wei needed to do was to enter the corridor that was not painted white before the sound of the wheels got close. It was a race against time.
The girl saw the two rushing at her, but she did not move. She maintained her smile, and other than that, there was no other expression on her face.
"This is a chance!"
The girl was too careless. Li Xu raised his flashlight. He had already planned everything in his mind. When he reached the girl, he would crawl past her.
The gap was big enough for him and Ma Wei to pass through. If the girl dared to stop him, he would use the flashlight to shoot her down.
Li Xu had never experienced such a thrilling moment in his life, and he believed that he could do it.
"Come on!"
Running at full speed, the moment the sound of the wheels stopped, Li Xu and Ma Wei also reached the corner of the corridor!
They ran past the girl, and the girl did not stop them. In fact, she maintained her original posture and did not move at all.
It was surprisingly smooth, but Li Xu did not have the time to be excited. He knew that now was not the time to relax. Running away from the girl was just the first step; there was still a long way to go to escape from the underground morgue.
"I can't let my guard down!"
He turned to look at the corridor that was painted white. There was a trolley that was used by the school workers to transport dead bodies. He could not see the person pushing the trolley, but he could see that there were several mannequins on the trolley, and one of them had its head pulled off!
"Thankfully, I didn't run this way. Those mannequins are obviously problematic." Li Xu was thankful that he had made the right choice at that crucial moment. He pulled back his gaze and used the flashlight to shine at the corridor that was not painted.
Drip!
The sticky liquid fell on his face, and Li Xu raised his head with confusion. The scene that entered his eyes was one that he would not forget for the rest of his life.
The unpainted corridor was filled with dead bodies. Their limbs and torsos were sewn together by red threads, and they were like marionettes squeezing their way down the corridor.
There were too many of them, and the pungent smell caused Li Xu and Ma Wei's sense of smell to temporarily go haywire. Twisted faces filled their vision, and their minds were filled with broken bodies and limbs. Both of them felt like their heads were buzzing, and their thoughts were frozen.
"Who would be able to survive this?"
The speed was so fast that Li Xu almost rammed into it. At the crucial moment, it was Ma Wei who grabbed him.
"Back! Retreat! "
The combination of these two was quite dreamy. They had wandered the line of life and death several times, but they had managed to survive.
Going out was definitely not going to work. Looking at the monsters that filled the corridor, Li Xu and Ma Wei suddenly felt like the man with the hammer earlier was more friendly.
The two of them retreated quickly, and when they passed the girl, the head of the child, who had been standing where she was, slowly turned. Like a doll that had been wound up, the spine creaked, and the head slowly twisted to the back.
Her lips were white, but the girl was still smiling.
The head turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and this girl that looked the most normal completely shattered Li Xu and Ma Wei's psychological defense.
The blood in their veins froze, and a deep sense of helplessness and coldness filled their hearts.
At that moment, they could only run. In their hearts, the only person who could save them was the man from earlier.
Without turning back, they ran into the middle section of the underground morgue. They entered the room with the cadaver pool, locked the door, and moved the dresser behind the door.
Footsteps echoed down the corridor outside. After a few seconds of silence, the door to the room with the cadaver pool was slammed heavily.
Ma Wei and Li Xu pushed against the dresser and barely held on. Just as the two were locked in a stalemate with the monster outside the door, the sound of bubbles bursting came from the hole in the middle of the cadaver pool.
Not long after that, the remains that had seeped into the ground started to surge upward like something was pushing them from below, trying to crawl out from the hole.
"We can't stay in this room anymore. Brother Wei, let's enter the tunnel as well!" Li Xu's suggestion was very risky. After all, no one knew what was on the other side of the tunnel. "Since we're going to die anyway, why don't we take a risk? The man was so decisive earlier; I feel like he knows something. "
"We'll do as you say." Ma Wei picked up the chain from the ground and secured the dresser behind the door. He wanted to drag it out for as long as he could.
After that, the two crawled into the tunnel. They ran so fast that they did not even consider the danger that lay ahead of them.
The tunnel was narrow, and with the two in front and one at the back, the distance between them and Chen Ge slowly closed.
After running for several meters, they heard the sound of the dresser being pushed down outside the tunnel.
Their hearts were shaking, and they ran as fast as they could down the tunnel.
…
Chen Ge walked down the tunnel for a long time. The deeper he went, the thicker the 'moss' grew. His shirt and body inevitably came into contact with the stuff.
Strangely enough, when the fragrant liquid inside the 'moss' dripped onto his skin, his body temperature that was much lower than normal started to rise. Even though it was only for a short moment, it gave him a sense of warmth that he had not felt for a long time.
"This is not a good sign." Chen Ge knew that behind the 'moss' were all dead bodies. Even though he had been looking for something that could raise his body temperature, if it had to do with dead bodies, then he had to reconsider.
The tunnel became even shorter, and the deepest part of the tunnel was almost completely blocked by the 'moss'.
The white cat crawled through it, and Chen Ge had no choice but to use his hand to push aside the 'moss' that blocked the path.
His fingers touched the wall, and under the bright red 'moss' hid many human faces. Their eyes were closed, and Chen Ge walked past them.
"These dead bodies should have been preserved using some special method. They look just like when they were alive." Chen Ge felt a rare sense of discomfort. "If they suddenly open their eyes when I walk past them, then things will get really interesting."
