Chapter 242: Chapter 241: Fragmented Space

Yu Jieyi shouted calmly: ”Light the torches.”

A few people with torches lit them and raised them to illuminate the surroundings.

The pitch-black environment was obviously more advantageous for these Hunters, as they were all Extraordinary, many of whom had some degree of night vision capability.

Although Yu Jieyi was an Extraordinary, her position had no enhancement in this area, so the darkness greatly affected her.

Zhou An, on the other hand, had decent night vision, though it was still not as good as Su Changxing’s.

As the torches were lit, Su Changxing had already killed one of the Hunters, and Zhou An used his remaining knife to take out another Hunter.

In less than two minutes, the remaining three Hunters also perished miserably under the group’s assault.

The surroundings quieted down, filled with intermittent sounds of heavy breathing and groans of pain.

A flash of panic crossed Zhou An’s eyes as he took a deep breath and said:

”We’ve actually arrived at another place. Aren’t these methods a bit too twisted?”

Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, ”It seems he doesn’t have the ability to harm us directly, so our current situation isn’t too bad.”

Zhou An’s expression eased a bit, and he rubbed his chin thoughtfully, saying:

”Hmm? Does that mean he can only change our position? But the clothes on that red-clothed figure are really creepy. I question the taste of these Hunters. Yeah, it’s indeed a bit heavy.”

Su Changxing silently took out his phone, trying to contact others, feeling that Zhou An always focused on peculiar points, although what he said wasn’t wrong. The attire is indeed a bit heavy.

Yu Jieyi staggered over, seemingly with an injured foot, and asked, ”What should we do now? This seems to be the lowest level of the entire underground hospital.”

Her body was covered in blood, with obvious knife wounds on her abdomen and chest, her face pale, looking very unwell.

Su Changxing looked at his phone and said in a deep voice, ”Those who are seriously injured stay here, the rest follow me to find these Hunters... Can you still move? If not, stay here first. I have ointment here, apply it.”

Yu Jieyi’s expression appeared unusually resolute, and she replied firmly, ”I’m fine, I can still fight until the last moment... cough cough.”

As she spoke, she coughed slightly, possibly indicating internal injuries.

Su Changxing took out ointment from his backpack, glanced at her, and said lightly:

”You stay here with the injured, to prevent any Hunters from finding this place.”

Yu Jieyi’s eyes flickered, seemingly wanting to refuse.

Su Changxing, unsure why this woman was trying so hard, said in an incontrovertible tone:

”Yes, remember this is Boss’s order, don’t let these people die.”

Yu Jieyi paused for a moment, said nothing more, nodded, and distributed the ointment to the injured.

Soon, those who were uninjured or had minor injuries reformed into a new team of twelve people.

Su Changxing looked at them and said in a deep voice:

”These Hunters have separated us precisely because they can only separate us, trying to buy time. We can’t give them the chance. If we drag it into the night... as long as we can kill most of them before dark, that counts as victory.”

Hearing this, some people’s faces looked much better. At least this way, they were still on the advantageous side.

Immediately, Su Changxing led them to the other end. This was a one-way road, and there was no choice but to head that way.

Su Changxing cautiously observed the surroundings and said to Chang Yi in the team:

”You contact others on your phone now to check their positions. Inform me of any developments.”

Chang Yi nodded, took out his phone, moved to the middle, and said, ”Yes, we will contact them right away.”

Zhou An glanced at Chang Yi and said, ”Brother Su, it seems that staying close prevents separation, like just now. Should we stick closer?”

It does indeed seem so.

Su Changxing gave Zhou An an unexpected look and nodded, saying, ”Makes sense. Let’s move closer to avoid being separated again, keeping a formation of three people per row.”

Upon hearing this, the others moved closer together to form a neat formation, with the torchbearers standing at the sides.

The environment here appeared somewhat complex, with other passages appearing all around. However, the path ahead was the widest, likely leading to the stairs on this level.

Very soon.

Through a thick black veil, Su Changxing saw the staircase entrance at the end of the passage and said:

”There’s the staircase ahead. We can go up from there. Chang Yi, have you contacted others?”

Chang Yi hesitated and said, ”Yes, but it’s a lone person, and he doesn’t know his position, and he’s not on the same floor as me.”

Su Changxing mused, ”Focus on contacting Zhu Wenwu and Boss Huang.”

”Okay, got it.”

Chang Yi nodded, feeling the sweat in his palms and realizing this was a significant responsibility.

Led by Su Changxing, the group quickly moved forward. As they approached the staircase, the surrounding space suddenly changed, and they seemed to have stepped into another space.

White light and orange firelight intertwined all around.

”So it’s indeed like this.”

Su Changxing murmured.

He had thought they might not reach the stairs because reaching the stairs meant they could quickly reach other floors. In that case, the red-clothed figure’s separation tactic would be meaningless.

No one was around.

Beside the walls were several pillars emitting a soft white glow, seemingly the same as the white pillars from Shield Company. Stone, self-luminous.

Everyone held their breath and focused; this experience was beyond imagination, as if in a dream. The environment suddenly changed without any feeling of abruptness, very natural.

Zhou An, his cheeks flushed red and holding a blood-stained knife seemingly ready to launch at any moment, said softly:

”No people, and no external light. We seem to still be underground.”

”Bang~”

Su Changxing kicked open a nearby door, which released a burst of putrid smell, making one retch. In the darkness, he saw skeletons in hospital gowns.

”What the hell?”

Su Changxing frowned, seeing these skeletons arranged around a circular platform. On the platform was a massive cross, with a mummified corpse nailed to it.

Twisted patterns with heavy religious undertones were painted on the walls.

Zhou An, standing on the other side without seeing inside, asked, ”What happened?”

Others, lacking night vision capabilities, couldn’t clearly see what was inside.

”Nothing.”

Su Changxing closed the door nonchalantly, saying, ”Let’s keep moving forward, looking for the stairs.”
