Chapter 457 Elevator

The commotion in the corridor didn’t last long, and the situation soon calmed down . After that, the old woman peeling the apple stood up and walked to the door with a hunched back . Placing her wrinkled face on the glass, she looked left and right, ensuring there were no threats in the corridor . After that, she straightened her back a little bit and nodded, stretching out her hand, and pushing the door open .

However, something cold and hard stopped on her waist .

“Don’t shout, and don’t do anything unnecessary,” Zhang Heng said . “We are not from the three major guilds . We just want to ask you a few questions . ”

The old woman began trembling . She then turned her head with a smile on her face . It was as if she didn’t understand what Zhang Heng said and hoped he could repeat it .

“You can continue your acting, but believe me, you are not going to like what happens next,” Zhang Heng said . He had completely kept the old woman under control by holding her hand tightly . With that, she wouldn’t be able to use any game items .

After that, Zhang Heng led the lady to get the elevator . To the regular passerby, Zhang Heng looked like a kind young man helping an elder . This time, however, the expression on the old woman’s face finally changed . She opened her mouth and was about to yell for help, but she felt a knife slicing through her right arm . Zhang Heng then used the remaining infusion patch and stuck it on the small wound, “As I said, you will receive a more severe injury if you don’t behave . ” After seeing blood, the old woman became compliant again .

Zhang Heng pressed the down button on the elevator, planning to take the old woman out of the hospital first . To avoid the other target’s suspicion, Han Lu and Fan Meinan were tasked to go after him . Zhang Heng was the only one remaining in the ward area . They agreed to rejoin outside the west gate of the hospital afterward .

So far, things were going well . According to Fan Meinan, the woman in sunglasses was different from other players . She had always been alone and had no other companions . The woman who ran away suddenly was just an ordinary person she had hired for help .

From here, they realized that she was cautious and cunning . No matter where she was or what she was doing, she would always leave a safe exit for herself . There was a high probability that the old woman was her only way to escape this hospital . This was a city she wasn’t familiar with, after all . She had only arrived an hour and a half before Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan . Hence, there was not much room for preparation .

Zhang Heng didn’t understand one thing . She had found Wang Shuangshuang one step ahead of them, but she did nothing about it, pretending to be the patient’s family next to Wang Shuangshuang’s bed instead . Fortunately, such things weren’t that important anymore . For now, Zhang Heng wasn’t concerned about what happened in this hospital . The most urgent thing was to make the woman in sunglasses spit out the method on lifting the Dreamland of Death’s curse .

The elevator indicator lit up, and the doors slid open .

A male doctor and two nurses pushed an electric hospital bed towards the elevator . The patient on the bed seemed to be in poor condition, and so were the expressions on the faces of the doctor and the nurses . They looked anxious and unsettled . The male doctor accidentally bumped into Zhang Heng, immediately grabbing him and apologizing .

Zhang Heng told him that it was fine . He stepped aside to let them enter the elevator first before he and the old woman entered .

The cramped conditions inside the elevator did no help to the worsening air quality . Zhang Heng’s throat started to itch as well, now that he’d been in this hospital for some time . He could not help but start to cough . Instead of getting better, though, the discomfort in his throat only got worse . Zhang Heng kept hacking more frequently, and at the same time, his temperature begun to rise as well, coupled with a pounding headache .

The old woman next to him looked at him in surprise . Something seemed to cross her mind, and she suddenly became excited . Zhang Heng realized that there was something wrong with his body . At the same time, he ruled out the possibility that he was attacked by the girl wearing shades . Zhang Heng held on to her hands all the time, and she shouldn’t have possibly gained access to any game items . Besides, the outbreak had broken out here even before she came to this hospital .

Zhang Heng quickly thought about what happened earlier . Something wasn’t right when the male doctor bumped into him . The doctor had grabbed his arm to ‘stop him from falling . ’ Immediately, Zhang Heng lowered his head and looked at his wrist . That was the only spot that the doctor touched him, and now, the area had turned a purplish-black color .

Zhang Heng realized that he could no longer remember the male doctor’s face, but he still remembered his tag, feeling like he had seen the name before . After he captured the girl with shades, he didn’t think much about other things . It was then that he remembered where he saw the doctor’s name .

He was Wang Shuangshuang’s attending doctor . At this point, Zhang Heng finally figured out what the woman with shades was waiting for in the ward . Her target wasn’t Wang Shuangshuang, but her attending doctor .

He was probably the source of this flu .

It did not take long for Zhang Heng to sort out everything . The elevator had just gone past two floors, and a patient at the back was trying to squeeze forward, obviously trying to get out of the elevator as soon as possible . Once everyone had gotten off the elevator . Zhang Heng suddenly stretched out his hand to block the elevator door . He pulled the girl with shades out .

Until now, Zhang Heng had no idea what the doctor did to him . The only thing that he knew was that his current condition wasn’t just the simple flu . His condition had deteriorated faster than he expected, where his temperature had been rising steadily, and now, his vision was beginning to blur as well . At the same time, his lower abdomen was hurting too . He was gradually becoming weaker and weaker, and quickly too .

The moment Zhang Heng got off the elevator, he immediately pressed the up button again . The top priority now was to return to the previous floor and find the male doctor who did this to him before his strength was utterly depleted .

“Unfortunately, it’s too late . ” The old woman finally spoke again . She eyeballed Zhang Heng with a hint of mockery .

“Who is that guy?”

“Have you heard of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?” the old woman leisurely asked .

“The white horse rider in the New Testament, Revelation-Pestilence?”

Zhang Heng felt nauseous when he heard that . “Is that guy an agent of the plague?”

“Agent? No, no, that’s the Pestilence himself . ” There was a growing excitement in her eyes . “I have been looking for him for a long time, and I would like to thank you . Otherwise, I don’t think I would have found him . ”

At that very moment, the intense cramps in the abdomen had blurred Zhang Heng’s thinking . In less than two minutes, he had almost lost all strength to stand .

The old woman looked at him with a touch of pity . “Well, you aren’t the first to die in his hands, nor would you be the last . ”
