Chapter 295 Loss
Because of Shen Tong's previous misdirection, Lu He ran to West China Hospital, which was eight kilometers away. Although she received an apologetic call from Shen Tong halfway there, even turning back immediately had already wasted too much time.
Lu He felt her eyelids twitching uncontrollably, wondering if it was a bad omen.
Hua Ren Hospital is clearly just across the street from where we just left off, it's so close, but because of Shen Tong's negligence... no, Lu He's face darkened, Shen Tong had been acting strangely from the very beginning.
For some reason, a strange feeling welled up in her heart; Shen Tong was untrustworthy and there was something wrong with him.
Xia Lan's phone was constantly busy; no matter what he did, he couldn't get through, which was very unusual.
Lu He's phone was still on the screen where she had dialed Xia Lan's number, but there was no response from the other end, just like before.
Disconnection...
Fight again...
busy tone……
Fight again...
Shut down!
Lu He's hand gripping the phone was bulging with veins, as if he wanted to crush it with force, and his palms were sweaty with anxiety.
When Lu He arrived at Huaren Hospital, it was already very late and completely dark. He rushed into Zhao Mingna's ward without a care in the world, only to find it empty.
An overwhelming fear consumed her.
Xia Lan! You can't be hurt!
"System, system! Where is Xia Lan? Tell me quickly!" Lu He could no longer calm down and think. She felt as if her brain had fallen into an ice cellar and frozen.
"Sorry, I can't answer that..." The system was unable to help.
In fact, she had long anticipated that the system would not give her an answer, but she was unwilling to give up and wanted to try.
"Why don't you... try looking for Zhao Mingna's hospital bed..." the system hesitated, as if it had made a decision.
This is a hint, a suggestion from the system.
The moment System 7440 finished speaking, it received a warning from higher-ups for violating regulations. As an intelligent system, allowing personal feelings to interfere is unacceptable.
But Xia Lan could wait no longer. System 7440 could see all of this; it could clearly see Xia Lan, locked in a cubicle in the morgue, with scabs already forming on her forehead…
Zhao Mingna's hospital bed... In this huge hospital, where do you even begin to look? Although Lu He had received information from the system, he still had no clue what to do.
She noted down the ward number and immediately rushed towards the monitoring room, hoping to find the bed with that number in the surveillance footage.
There were security personnel in the monitoring room, so Lu He couldn't possibly break through in a short time... With prolonged blood loss and freezing at low temperatures, Xia Lan wouldn't survive if it dragged on any longer.
"Search in the basement!" the system announced again.
The red light came on, but the warning continued: "Warning! Warning! You have committed a serious disciplinary violation!"
Upon hearing the system's prompt again, Lu He immediately changed direction and headed straight for the elevator to the underground floor.
Meanwhile, System 7440 received another order from higher-ups: "The communication signal between System 7440 and the shuttle will be forcibly cut off!"
Cut off the signal? System 7440 itself hadn't anticipated such a serious violation, but if the signal was cut off and Lu He couldn't find Xia Lan quickly, then...
The system sighed. It never thought it would be in this situation. It had always seen the travelers struggling, helpless, and in pain, but now it found itself struggling with the same dilemma...
"Basement morgue, password 0, locker number seven, key is to the left of the entrance..." The system's voice sounded again, but this time it stopped abruptly after only half a sentence.
"System? Are you still there?" Lu He asked tentatively, but only received a silent reply. She seemed to realize that the system's help had consequences, though she didn't know what they were.
Without thinking too much, she rushed to the morgue as fast as she could, decisively entered the password for the door, and successfully entered.
To the left of the entrance, she searched anxiously and found a storage cabinet with more than twenty doors.
These were probably items the morgue staff used to store things. She frantically opened them one by one, and inside were medicines, clothes, ropes, and even medical supplies. It was so strange; how could these things be in the morgue?
After much searching, she finally found a set of keys, each with a number on it.
Key #07!
Cabinet number seven!
Opening the freezer, inside lay Xia Lan, who was already unconscious.
Lu He touched her face with trembling hands; it was icy cold.
She was still breathing faintly, and her pulse was weak. Lu He couldn't help but shed silent tears as she took Xia Lan out of the freezer and held her tightly in her arms.
Lu He took off his coat, which was still warm from his body, wrapped it around Xia Lan, and gently carried her on his back. A frozen person's heart is very fragile, so he had to move her carefully.
This Huaren Hospital is dangerous. The thugs who attacked Xia Lan may come back. We must get her away first!
