the last gentleman

Chapter 51 Abandoned Clinic
The carriage stopped on the road below the mountain.

The groom wearing a metal mask warned:
"When you finish your mission, walk three kilometers east along this road, and you will meet me at the fork there.

If it's longer than a week, you'll need to walk back to Zion. "

"understood."

Looking up at the hill that rests on the town of Vinal,

If it is placed in the world before Yi Chen's lifetime, it will definitely be developed into a scenic spot, such as a cable car, some entertainment, and even a temple on the top of the mountain.

However, there are no elevators or cable cars here, and even the stone steps are not paved.
The four of them can only step on the steep mountain road and hold on to the trees to experience the most primitive mountaineering fun.

On the way to the mountain, Yi Chen gnawed a few mouthfuls of bark, and then felt the situation among the hills by touching the plants.

Nothing happened along the way, not to mention danger, not even a small animal was seen.

Deathly silence.

Climb the last little hill, through the gaps between the trees,

The walls built with large pieces of rough stone, and the front door of the clinic made of jet-black steel gradually emerged.

There are gargoyle sculptures on the wall, which are similar in style to the gargoyles in Zion City.

It's just that most of them are full of cracks and gaps, or even completely broken, losing their proper function.

"finally reached??????"

Edmund stretched himself,

The seemingly sloppy actions are actually adjusting the order of the team.

Dagbert, who was carrying a huge sword, immediately walked to the front position,

Edmund and Juliana are side by side, forming a solid triangle position
This is entirely their habitual behavior.

Edmund glanced at his new teammates, "William, your visual senses are better than ours. In the early stage of exploration, you should be next to Dagbert, right?"

"Row."

The four came to the gate,
Dagbert stretched out his thick arm with the "muscle emblem" printed on it,

The fully extended palm landed on the surface of the iron door,
center of gravity sinks,

feet sinking,

Shaking the gear structure between the door body with brute force, pushing it forcefully.

Dagbert's profession - [Wrestler], selected from the blue letter.

Trait - "Muscle Development"

To further activate the individual's muscle potential, optimize and rearrange the muscle cells, the upper limit of the [Physique] standard is increased, and the seventh standard - "7. Transcendence" appears.

Allowing the individual to break through with a physical state beyond their limits to reach a higher level.

??????

Yi Chen, who was the closest, could clearly see that when Dagbert pushed the iron gate, the muscle stripes in his arms moved regularly, giving him infinite power like rolling waves.

"What a strong body!

The increase brought by [Profession] is really terrifying~ If I had chosen the blue letter, I might be able to control various plants in the mountains, and even be able to 'turn roots into spears' like a living corpse, and my combat effectiveness would also be greatly improved. ???

However, Yi Chen just thought about it casually. If he was asked to choose again, he would still choose the purple letter.

Step through the gate.

The three-story horizontal main building comes into view,
The front yard has been leveled and there are still extensive footprints of the recovery team.

The doors and windows of the main building are almost broken.
There are some cracks in the walls.
However, the building still maintains its integrity and its foundation is solid.

The whole looks very much like an old hospital that has been left behind by the times and is completely abandoned.

Go straight along the main stone road and you will come to the entrance of the main building of the clinic.

A metal signboard of [Twilight Clinic Dusk-Clinlc] hangs vertically on the side of the front door.

Edmund gave action instructions at this time:

"The exploration on the first day doesn't need to be too careful. It is mainly to understand the structure of the clinic and find out the potential dangers... Do not act alone, and act in a small team throughout the process."

"Ah."

Turn on the kerosene lamp, and all the staff step into the abandoned twilight clinic.

???Lobby???

Upon entering the door, a large framed picture of Dr. Mycroft fell to the floor, completely burnt above the mouth.

The counter beside the door was also in dilapidated condition, all the drawers were opened, and various discarded documents were scattered all over the place.

Directly opposite the entrance is an elevator that can go directly to the 2nd and 3rd floors. The iron elevator has been severely deformed, as if a fierce fight had occurred inside, and it has long been unable to operate.

in addition,

It can be seen from electrical equipment such as elevators and wall lamps that the clinics used to operate on electricity.

Due to the lack of power, the passages leading to the left and right sides of the hall were pitch black with no end in sight.

"Start on the right."

After some exploration, although the abandoned clinic was extremely gloomy, there was no danger in the whole process, and even Xiao Putao's vision did not find anything weird.

Simple three-story hospital structure.

In addition to the elevators in the lobby, there are also corridors at the ends of the left and right sides.

The first floor is the most conventional diagnosis and treatment area.

Gentlemen who are usually injured or infected on the surface will receive quick treatment here... If you still want to buy some potions, or even secret medicines, you can also conduct secret transactions here.

The left side of the second floor is the inpatient department, and the right side is the operating room.

It is specially aimed at some gentlemen who are seriously injured and their lives may be in danger at any time.

There is also a set of professional judgment standards here. If the injury exceeds a certain limit and the degree of disease reaches a certain standard, the clinic has the right to refuse treatment, or even execute early.

Some gentlemen who know they are helpless may also come here, seek 'euthanasia' and donate their diseased body to the clinic as research material.

On the left side of the third floor of the clinic is the rest area for apprentices, and on the right side is the warehouse for appliances, routine medicines and sundries.

but,

Everyone also discovered a problem. There is no area related to secret medicine in the entire main building.

"Is it in the back?"

Leaving from the front door of the main building, and walking around the wall to the backyard.

You will find a fully metal-sealed tower standing deep in the backyard, almost sticking to the edge of the hill.

On the way close to the tower, you can see a large number of warning signs inserted on the ground, all with different words.

[Dangerous area, no outsiders are allowed to approach]

[Clinic important place, those who approach will be held accountable]

[Those who enter the building without permission will be directly executed by the doctor]

"Is this building the place where the secret medicine is made?"

The main entrance to the tower has been completely destroyed by the recovery team,
When everyone passed through a cold and dark stone passage,
Existing inside the tower, a rather harsh area is presented, which is completely different from the main building of the clinic.

???Material Refining Area???

Even after two months,
There was still a strong smell of blood in the air,
After the firelight released by the kerosene lamp was reflected by a large number of blood stains and liquids, it actually reflected a deep red scene.

Even though most of the refining equipment has been completely destroyed, only a few remains of the equipment remain.

Yi Chen is still able to restore the extremely cruel and chilling [torture ground] in his mind.

The reason why he is so sensitive and highly restored is because of Yi Chen's special training in the past six months.

Teacher Zed's "Paradise" left a deep impression on him. Once torture, pain and other factors are involved, he will be aware of it immediately and have bad memories.

in addition,

There is also a circular staircase attached to the wall on the side wall, leading to the [Secret Medicine Processing Area] on the upper floor and Dr. McCoff's office.

stay here for a long time,
Yi Chen can even imagine some of the pain and thrills of the past. A large number of sick people are suffering from the severe pain of dying here, which makes him quite puzzled.
"Why treat the 'sick' so cruelly?
Is it not possible to directly extract and peel off the required materials?
Is it necessary to use these near-lethal methods to 'force out' the required materials from the patient's body? ...How is the so-called "twilight silver liquid" made? "
