"I want to eat meat!"
"I want to go out!"
The originally quiet corridor was suddenly filled with a miserable wail!
However, this wail started abruptly and stopped even more abruptly.
Snap!
One end of a plastic milk tea straw was grasped in Liu Yuan's hand, and the other end viciously punctured through one of the two-headed creature's heads!
"Uh--"
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
The two heads of the two-headed creature, one let out a low groan of pain, the other yelled in panic!
Liu Yuan let go, bang!
The two-headed creature instantly collapsed to the ground.
Because of the imbalance in intracranial and extracranial pressure, the red and white contents gushed out from the straw, spilling all over the floor.
From beginning to end, Lu Yuan didn't even glance at the creature, stepping over it and walking forward.
Liu Yuan followed with a lantern in hand.
Behind them, the infected zombie in room #1, Xiao Yi, seemed to have smelled the scent in the air. It secretly poked its head out of the room.
But as soon as it saw Lu Yuan's back moving away down the dimly-lit corridor, it immediately retracted its head back inside.
Room #8, #9, #10...
Lu Yuan continued forward into the depths of the corridor.
Room #16.
For the rooms he had passed earlier, Lu Yuan had at most just hesitated in front of them. But this time, he turned and entered the room.
The room was around 30 square meters, with a bed, table and chairs, and bathroom.
The furnishings were quite simple.
The person in this room right now had a flushed complexion, tongue lolled out, and was hanging by a length of white bedsheet, directly facing Lu Yuan who had just entered.
"Uh--uh--"
"Save--save me!"
Seeing the person before him, Lu Yuan sighed and said, "Sorry, I'm just a surgeon, I can't treat mental conditions.
"If you're not dead next month when I come by again, I'll let you out."
"Uh--"
"You--you heartless bas--rd!"
Lu Yuan picked at his ear, "Huh? What'd you say? Sorry I can't hear you..."
"You could have picked any other way to die, but you just had to choose hanging, not only is your tongue uncomfortable, I can't even understand what you're saying clearly..."
Speaking thus, Lu Yuan left the room. After he departed, the door to room #16 shut with a "bang".
The room was plunged into endless darkness, accompanied by waves of "sobbing" sounds.
After Lu Yuan had passed room #20 and his back could no longer be seen down the dim corridor, the creature in room #1, Xiao Yi, slowly emerged.
It opened its mouth towards the corpse with the head pierced through by Liu Yuan's straw.
...
Room #46.
When Lu Yuan arrived here, he took a very deep breath.
Then he glanced over at room #47 across from him.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan smiled.
"Come out."
With those light words from Lu Yuan, two shivering black shadows immediately appeared standing in the doorways of the two adjacent rooms.
The people in these rooms only dared to stand in the shadows inside the rooms, not letting Lu Yuan see their bodies.
"I said, come out."
"Huff--huff--"
Accompanied by heavy breaths, the people in these two rooms stood out in the dim corridor.
The candle flames hanging on the wall swayed gently in the faint breeze, making the shadows cast by the two on the ground seem to move.
On Lu Yuan's left was a zoanthropic infected, with an exceptionally muscular body, blue face and ferocious fangs. Just looking at its appearance, one couldn't discern exactly which beast's mutant genes it was infected with.
To Lu Yuan's right was a slightly more normal looking infected.
She was a woman with normal facial features, just somewhat pale.
She was only corrupted by the contaminated spiritual energy on half her body, resulting in partial mutation of some of her limbs.
But even so, it still gave her cravings for human blood and flesh, which was why Lu Yuan had locked her up here.
Lu Yuan looked left and right at these two people, and softly asked: "When did it happen?"
The woman's eyes flashed with crimson light, mumbling indistinctly without answering.
Although the man's body was trembling, he met Lu Yuan's gaze and spoke in a silly tone: "After the last time you came by."
Lu Yuan nodded. "I'm very happy that you two were able to come together, but I hope that it's truly because of feelings, and not purely desire."
The man immediately said to Lu Yuan: "Doctor! I--I'm sincere!"
Lu Yuan looked at this blue-faced fanged zoanthropic infected, then looked at the woman beside him who appeared much more normal in comparison.
He said to the man: "I believe that you're sincere."
Next, Lu Yuan took a step back.
"You two make me very gratified, using love/desire to gradually replace your cravings for flesh and blood, this is not a bad treatment method."
"Therefore, I've decided, one of you two can leave, right now."
As Lu Yuan spoke, he looked at the two in front of him, a trace of a smile at the corner of his lips, "As for the one staying behind, they will die."
"Who lives, who dies, you two choose for yourselves. The exit is right there."
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, the man and woman in front of him were both startled.
Just then, the man glanced at the woman, seeming like he wanted to say something.
But the woman completely ignored him. She dashed forward in just a few quick steps!
The woman ran extremely fast, but because she had used too much force, she stumbled and fell after just running out a few steps.
The man watched with great distress and said: "Slow down! Slow down! I'm not running, just walk out slowly!"
However, although the woman had slowed down a bit after getting back up, when she heard the man's words, she rushed forward like a madwoman again!
Throughout the entire process, the woman didn't even glance back at the man once.
The only time she turned her head was when she passed by Lu Yuan and Liu Yuan, shooting them an extremely worried glance.
This worry wasn't for anyone else, but worry that Lu Yuan and Liu Yuan would suddenly make a move to block her.
Watching the woman's retreating figure, the man looked somewhat lost, yet also resigned.
At this time, Lu Yuan spoke again lightly: "How about it? Do you regret it?"
"If you regret it, I'll have her killed right now and let you out instead."
Not to mention the man in front of him, even Liu Yuan behind Lu Yuan was shocked when he said this.
Doctor Lu today is bent on completely abandoning his humanity...
This was Liu Yuan's inner thoughts.
"Lu--Doctor Lu, I'm begging you, have some humanity! Just let her go, okay!"
"You have to keep your word! I'm begging you!"
These were the man's words.
Lu Yuan gently patted the man's shoulder. "Didn't you see? When she was escaping just now, she didn't even want to glance at you."
"She was only afraid that you would snatch away her chance to live."
"In her heart, you're just a human-shaped massager! Brother, you've been played!"
Lu Yuan's words were somewhat blunt. While it was nothing to the people around him, when the man heard it, he crouched on the ground and started crying.
"I know--I know!"
"Doctor Lu, I know! But I love her, I just want to treat her well!"
"I just want her to live! I'd rather die myself if it meant she could live!"
"I'm willing to give her my only chance of survival!"
"I'm willing to be her human-shaped massager! For the rest of this life I'm willing, next life I'm also willing! And the life after that I'm still willing!"
"After all, it does feel pretty good..."
Lu Yuan: "..."
Liu Yuan: "..."
