Fukang Hospital
Chapter 30: Inviting you to watch the most beautiful Captain Black in the entire instance!

The phone made a “ding” sound.

Su Cheng looked down, only to see a message pop up on the screen:

【Your Black teammate has transferred points to you: 50,000】

…Oh God.

Although after reading the note sent by Wen Jianyan, Su Cheng already had some speculations about what would happen next, he was still shocked after suddenly seeing such a large number of points.

Obviously, when they were separated, they both were the same poor people, why did the gap between the rich and the poor become so big in just two hours?!

Connecting to the sudden increase in the difficulty of the instance and the Black and Red team battle mode that started without warning, Su Cheng fell silent:

“……”

It means…

After the guy went upstairs, he did something intolerable by himself!

“Brother Su, what are you going to do next?”

The cockscomb head on the side looked at Su Cheng, his eyes shining and expression full of expectation.

The person who could be friends with a big shot must also be a big shot!

As a non-rookie anchor who had experienced four instances, the cockscomb head was very clear about his identity, especially when dealing with senior anchors. He knew very well that it was best not to ask things that should not be asked, otherwise, you would lose their trust at the best, and bring disaster on yourself at worst.

Secondly, even if he take a look at it, it was possible he might not understand it.

After all, the anchors who were in a group often had their own set of code words for communication, and there would be many empty words and references to prevent information leakage.

So, although he was very curious about the contents of the note on the way, the cockscomb head didn’t actually open it secretly to see what was written on it.

Su Cheng was dragged back by the voice and regained his senses, and he seemed to have suddenly woken up:

“By the way, why did you join the Black team? You and…”

His voice froze for a moment. After pausing for two seconds, he asked dryly: “Hey… how did the boss form a team?”

The cockscomb head didn’t notice the rigidity of his attitude, and replied without realizing anything:

“When I was in the building, I was saved by the boss. As a reward, I gave him the difficult-level hidden item I got from the previous instance, and signed a temporary contract that can last for the entire instance. So the system directly assigned me to the Black team.”

He touched the back of his head and sighed:

“He is really a good person. Obviously, the conditions I gave were not of much value to a senior anchor, but in such a dangerous situation, he still protected me without hesitation. There are very few strong and good big shots in the nightmare!”

Su Cheng: “……”

Not only did a D-level anchor willingly sign the contract of sale and gave the props, but he also felt that the guy who seemed to be a big shot, but was actually an E-level anchor, was a kind and good person.

Wen Jianyan, as expected of you.

He sighed and slowly raised his hand and patted his right shoulder.

The cockscomb head with a pure and ignorant smile on his face: “?”

He didn’t notice the strange and complicated expression on the other party’s face, but instead was eager to get into action:

“Are you going to attract more anchors to join our team next?”

The cockscomb head clenched his fists:

“As long as we work together, the Red team is definitely not our opponent!”

Su Cheng’s mouth twitched: “I’m sorry, what is going to happen next may not be what you expected.”

The cockscomb head: “??”

Su Cheng handed Wen Jianyan’s mobile phone to Qi Shen: “Put it in your pocket.”

Although Qi Shen couldn’t understand what the two people in front of him were talking about, after the shocking moment of horror in the morgue on the first underground floor and on the second floor, he had already realized that the world was not as simple as he used to think.

At the same time, Qi Shen also vaguely felt that Wen Jianyan and Su Cheng might have some unknown power.

After being rescued several times by both people, Qi Shen gave them his 100% trust. After all, if it wasn’t for the two of them, he wouldn’t be standing here now.

—In this case, he was even more obliged.

“Okay.”

Qi Shen nodded, took the phone, and put it in his pocket.

Su Cheng: “The next road may be more dangerous, but if you let us, we will do our best to protect you.”

Qi Shen nodded: “I believe in you.”

Although the conversation between the two just now was mixed with things he did not understand. However, Qi Shen still understood one thing very well “Zhao Chengyi” was in a very dangerous situation now, and the two people in front of him were trying to turn the situation around.

He smiled and said, “After all, after rounding up, Brother Zhao can be regarded as half a brother-in-law.”

Su Cheng: “……”

Sigh.

Cockscomb head: “???”

…what brother-in-law?

Why couldn’t he understand?

He always had a feeling that something wasn’t quite right… but he couldn’t seem to say it…?

However, now was not the time to pay attention.

The cockscomb head thought about what Su Cheng had just said, and asked anxiously: “You said, what happened next might not be what I expected, what do you mean?”     

“The literal meaning.”

Su Cheng had already sorted himself out at the moment, secretly opened a slit in the door, and looked outside.

He glanced at the cockscomb head and said in a low voice:

“The number of Black team members will not increase, and we are not going to attract other anchors to join us. They all will soon become Red.”

The cockscomb head was a little slow to understand: “…Ah?”

Su Cheng continued to say: “As long as it is necessary, don’t save the props, use them when they need to be used, and if the points are not enough just ask for them—because when the moment comes, all the surviving anchors will be looking for us in the hospital, and without a lot of points, I’m afraid there will be no way out.”

The cockscomb head was dumbfounded by two lightning strikes in a row.

…It was indeed completely different from what he imagined!

He originally thought that there would be some thunderous method to reverse the disadvantage, but in the end, he still had to struggle hard without support!

“Oh, that’s right.”

Su Cheng suddenly turned back and added: “Let’s go to the first floor and face the Red team next. You quickly buy props and get ready.

“……”

He didn’t know how to respond.

Did he really get on a pirate ship…

***

Fukang Private General Hospital, Fourth floor, Operating room.

Standing at the door of the tightly closed elevator door, the four people were discussing in low voices, and from time to time they turned to look at the young man in a white coat not far away.

The young man’s eyebrows were furrowed slightly, his back was leaning against the wall, and his slender legs were slightly bent. The dim light above his head was cast down, carving up his face, his expression a little impatient.

The spotless white coat was draped over his body, making his face look paler and less like a living person.

“So, why are you all gathering here? This NPC should be the reason why the system wants us to come to the fourth floor. Is there anything else to discuss?”

Liu Yuze frowned and asked in confusion:

“The time is pressing now, why are you all still hesitating?”

Although the members of the Eternal Days and the free anchor did not speak, their faces clearly showed their agreement.

Another person who was also in the Dark Fire with him interjected: “I understand what you mean, but a D-level friend told me about a new anchor before, so I’m a little concerned about it.” 

The speaker was not tall, and his expression was slightly gloomy. He looked thin and small and was easy to be ignored in the crowd.

“Come on, Kong Laoliu, who doesn’t know that the D-level friend you are talking about is your distant relative? Listen to what you said, If not for your relationship, he wouldn’t be able to get into the Dark Fire, and with his personality, qualification, and IQ, it’d be over for him from the very beginning.” Liu Yuze interrupted him impatiently.

At that time, the woman of the Eternal days spoke, her voice was as calm and soft as herself, without the slightest attack power, especially calm and peaceful:

“So, you now suspect that this NPC is an anchor in disguise?”

The anchor known as Kong Laoliu looked a little embarrassed: “That…”

“I understand your concerns, and I have heard that there may be many anchors who do this in the instances, but it is very difficult to do in this instance.” Wen Ya shook her head, her voice still soft and calm: “Look at his clothes.”

Everyone followed suit and looked at the young man not far away.

Inside the long white coat, the young man was wearing ordinary knitted yarn and trousers, which modified his figure to be slim and tall. Although it was an ordinary style, it was inexplicably pleasing to the eye on him.

“Yes, all the anchors who came in at the beginning of the instance will have to change into nurse clothes.” Liu Yuze said suddenly.

In fact, Kong Laoliu didn’t think deeply at first, it was just recalling the warning about that anchor that made him have an instinctive connection. After being woken up by Wen Ya, he had already been persuaded more than half, but he still couldn’t help but say stubbornly:

“Not necessarily, as long as you use the living supplies section and spend 1000 points, clothes can be exchanged…”

His voice has gradually become less confident.

“So, where did he put his cell phone?” Liu Yuze said coldly.

The clothes on the young man were all light and close-fitting. If he put a mobile phone in the pocket of the white coat, the hem of the clothes would definitely fall down. The fabric of the trousers was also close to the slender thigh, if he had a mobile phone, the traces could have been seen at once.

Kong Laoliu: “……”

He gritted his teeth and was speechless.

Just then, Wen Ya’s cell phone rang.

Although in the instance, the mobile phone didn’t have any signal, anchors could purchase the communication time in the C-level store interface, which could be used by them for short-term communication in the instance.

Wen Ya answered the phone, and Cheng Mi’s voice came through the microphone.

In the buzzing sound, his voice appeared a little distorted, but it couldn’t hide his excitement: “The Black team members have all been located. They are moving from the first floor to the second floor. We are chasing after them, how are you guys doing?”

Wen Ya: “Still ongoing. We’ll let you know if there’s any progress.” 

The phone was hung up.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Kong Laoliu as if to say: See?

Kong Laoliu’s lips twitched for a while, and he averted his gaze a little, not speaking anymore.

He was now very regretful of his initial judgment. He knew that he shouldn’t have spoken without thinking, and now he had become the most ignorant and suspicious of the entire team.

In the instance, once there was any danger, this kind of person was often the first to be abandoned.

He secretly made a note on Kong Shixing in his mind.

If it wasn’t for that guy giving him the wrong guidance before entering the instance, he wouldn’t have come to such a stupid conclusion.

“Actually, in a sense, I think Kong Laoliu is right.”

The free anchor said slowly, “We should indeed be vigilant about this person, but our vigilance direction is wrong.”

The others were stunned: “How do you say it?”

“I have a special skill, I’m very sensitive to smell.” 

The free anchor turned to look in Wen Jianyan’s direction and said, “The smell on that person is very cold and terrifying. I smell the rotten blood, and there is also… sweetness?”

He frowned, and seemed to be a little confused by his conclusion: “In short, it is more likely that he is a member of the instance and is very dangerous.”

The eyes of the others fell on Wen Jianyan, who was leaning against the wall not far away.

The young man’s eyelashes were drooping, covering his dark and cold pupils, and the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose didn’t make him appear gentle but aggravated his strange and sharp temperament.

Under the bluish light in the operating room area, his skin showed an unhealthy paleness. He looked almost like an instance boss with no sense of incongruity.

As if aware of their sight, he looked up.

The abyss-like eyes with no trace of impurities just fell on their bodies, making them feel creepy.

“Isn’t it over yet?”

He said impatiently, “You have already wasted a lot of time.”

The four people on the Red team froze immediately.

Liu Yuze stepped forward: “I’m sorry, Doctor Lin, we’re done.”

While observing Wen Jianyan’s face, Xiao Wingyi asked, “We received news that the way to the second underground floor is on the first floor, excuse me… can you lead us there?”

Wen Jianyan didn’t answer, just squinted his eyes and stared at them.

Under the emotionless and silent gaze, everyone was startled.

They all blamed Kong Laoliu for his insistence in group discussions, resulting in the delay for so long. Could it be that… he lost his patience, and was feeling unpleasant?

What the free anchor said just now left an ominous shadow in everyone’s heart, and now it was even more difficult to sit still.

In the barrage area of ​​the Red team’s live broadcast room:

[Wow, the NPC in this instance is too beautiful! So imposing! White coat and gold-rimmed glasses, gentle and scummy gloomy doctor boss, my favorite type!]

[Yes! Yes, I didn’t see it before because the level of the instance “Fukang General Private Hospital” was too low. It was really a big loss! In the future, even if it’s for an NPC, I have to come and visit often!]

[…Wait, that’s not right, I’ve seen this instance before. Why don’t I have any impression of this NPC at all?]

[Lin Qing… Lin Qing, this name has an impression on me. But why do I remember it was a woman??]

[Huh? Woman??]

[What’s going on!!!]

[Hee hee. Hello everyone, this good person is from next door, guiding the way to the “Integrity First” live broadcast room. I sincerely invite everyone to watch and admire the most beautiful Captain Black in the entire instance! My destined liar wife!]

[?]

[??? What]

[??????? Captain Black!!!]

[Huh? What is going on?]

[The above user remark involves the same instance anchor and will only be opened to the audience.]

Wen Jianyan knew nothing about the twists and turns in the Red team’s live broadcast room.

When one of them’s cell phones rang just now, he knew that his plan was successful.

As long as they didn’t try to win over newcomers, the number of Black anchors would remain at 3 — Su Cheng, the cockscomb head, and Qi Shen. They would flee and hide inside the building, and no one would come to Captain Black who without anyone knowing had sneaked into the Red team.

The next thing he had to do was to determine on which floor the other Red team members had to go.

The first floor was the safety floor, and the anchor patrolling with Xue Mingyan was not in danger. The second floor was the floor where Su Cheng and Qi Shen went, and the danger was also not strong.

And the third floor had basically been probed thoroughly by Wen Jianyan, and there was no passage that could lead to the second underground floor.

Well then, the most likely ones were the fourth and fifth floors.

Wen Jianyan blindly guessed the fourth floor and then waited at the elevator door. Of course, it was easier to guess correctly, but even if he guessed wrong, it didn’t matter.

At this time, the only people taking the elevator might be the Red team members who had joined the instance. He only needed to see which floor the elevator would stop at, and then he would rush over there.

When the four Red team anchors in front of him were looking at him up and down, Wen Jianyan said slowly:

“You guys… don’t know how to go down to the second underground floor?”

A pair of dark eyes narrowed under the gold-rimmed glasses, and the original clear voice was suppressed very deep with a trace of strange coldness, looking even more terrifying and creepy in the cold corridor.

Liu Yuze’s hair stood on end.

He suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

According to what this NPC said just now, it had been a long time since he was waiting for “people from the same organization”, and as a companion to solve the problem, they actually didn’t know how to find the way… 

Was there anything more suspicious than that?!

“Well, of course not…”

Wen Ya quietly kicked Liu Yuze, then slowly stepped forward and continued with a respectful tone: “Doctor Lin, I’m sorry. He’s a newcomer, you don’t have to care what he said.”

“Oh…”

Wen Jianyan gave a long-sounding answer with no expression on his face: “Is that so?”

“Yes, yes!” Liu Yuze nodded hurriedly while sweating profusely.

“Okay.”

Wen Jianyan chuckled lightly, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

He turned slightly to the side, giving way to the passage behind him: “In that case, lead the way.”

The number of viewers in the “Inrigity First” live broadcast room had soared to 20,000, but the barrage area was silent.

[…]

[……]

[Everyone, I’m shocked and have nothing to say…]

[F*ck, I’m from next door, and he’s actually f*cking Captain Black?! I’m speechless, help, who’s going to tell me what’s going on?!]

[It’s just that he used the number of black anchors to distract the Red team members and secretly sneaked into the Red team, but didn’t really sneak in… The guy is too good, he scared the other side almost stupid!]

[What do you call turning from a guest into a host? This is just what you call turning from a guest into a host!]
