280: Chapter 279 Obstruction

The dim yellow beam dissipated.

As far as the eye could see, there were nothing but crisscrossing Black Flame Slashes.

The rumbling sound continued to vibrate!

The flesh corridor ahead instantly turned into minced meat, collapsing and opening up with destructive force.

Amidst the dense gaps of the Slashes, everyone saw the security guard holding the flashlight being hit by the Black Flame Slashes one after another, emitting deafening explosions.

When everything subsided, the security guard was nowhere to be seen.

"Keep moving."

A calm voice rang out. The figure in the black cloak walking at the very front was surrounded by darkness like a vortex, but in everyone's eyes, that was the only light.

[You have killed the hospital Administrator · Security Guard. There are 8200 points of spirituality value remaining in this body's flesh and blood; 3280 points have been fed back to you.]

[You have obtained rule fragment X1]

"The harvest is a bit too much..."

Obtaining a large amount of spirituality value from the security guard, especially with a rule fragment, did not make Chu Xuan happy; instead, it set off alarm bells.

This killing harvest was not much different from that of the Night Demon.

In that case, what kind of existences were the yet-to-appear Attending Physician and the Dean?

What exactly happened in this inpatient building?

Chu Xuan's heart turned solemn. While continuing to condense Slashes, he led the group forward.

Fortunately, no accidents occurred afterward.

Just over ten seconds later, when everyone followed Chu Xuan out of the slowly writhing flesh corridor, the blinding light shone down, causing them to squint their eyes.

At the same time, a burst of noisy sounds rang in their ears.

"They're out!"

"Someone is coming out of the hospital!"

"Go report it quickly..."

"..."

Everyone's vision gradually recovered, and they discovered that the darkness shrouding them had dissipated.

Strong lights shone from the front, and they could barely see a few long cordon lines not far away, separating them from the front.

Dozens of uniformed law enforcement officers with live ammunition were watching this place with nervous expressions.

Everyone couldn't help but look back; behind them was an unremarkable-looking inpatient building.

However, upon closer inspection, one would find that this inpatient building was shrouded in a layer of faint black mist, the mist twisting and shifting, as if it were not entirely in this space.

"Stop!"

"Don't come over!!"

Shouts rang out. Seeing many law enforcement officers calling out to stop them, the crowd dispersed, and three men wearing long black trench coats, training uniforms underneath, and long swords at their waists walked out.

The leader was holding a compass in his hand, fiddling with it with a serious expression, and only then did his expression ease slightly: "There shouldn't be any Specters among these people, but..."

As he spoke, his gaze remained somewhat vigilant, especially when looking at Chu Xuan at the very front, who was in a black cloak as if standing in a black vortex.

He asked in a slightly deep tone: "What exactly happened inside? How did you get out? Is it just you few?"

"A supernatural incident occurred inside the inpatient building." Chu Xuan's expression was calm. Seeing that they wanted to continue asking, he got straight to the point:

"I am Haicheng Inspector Chu Xuan. On June 19th, I came to the capital from Haicheng with Xu Shuya and Tan Ziming. There were some accidents along the way, and I accidentally ended up in this hospital's inpatient building. These are the only people I've managed to save for now."

"Chu Xuan?"

Hearing the name, the three of them were taken aback; they had obviously heard of Chu Xuan's name.

The expressions of these three changed briefly. Although they quickly returned to normal, Chu Xuan keenly noticed that their gaze towards him had changed, seemingly becoming a bit more vigilant.

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, thoughtful.

At this moment, the buzz-cut youth holding the compass took out a mobile phone, swiped it for a while, finally pulled up a photo, compared it with Chu Xuan, and finally nodded slightly.

"Hello, Chu Xuan. I am Hu Xian, a patrol member of the Sixth District of the capital. Please wait here. We cannot let you out yet. Please stay where you are and don't move around. Since we are all on the same side, I hope you can understand; we are just following the rules."

The buzz-cut youth Hu Xian said this to Chu Xuan with a slight apology, then walked away quickly. Before leaving, he gave his two companions a look.

This was clearly to have the two companions stay behind to monitor him.

Chu Xuan's eyes flickered, but he had no time to worry about this right now and immediately took his mobile phone out of the Exclusive Space.

Although this phone was a bit damaged, it could barely be used, and there was still some battery left.

After the phone was turned on and reconnected to the external network, the time jumped immediately.

It had jumped from the original June 20th to 1:05 AM on June 24th.

As expected.

Chu Xuan secretly sighed in regret; traveling back and forth between worlds had ultimately wasted quite a lot of time.

At this moment, various messages on the phone kept popping up, most of which were sent by the Haicheng Night Watchers, asking if he was safe.

Among them were a few spam messages.

Chu Xuan ignored these for the time being, first finding Tang Zheng's phone number, and then dialed it, but could not get through.

Then, Chu Xuan made a voice call through the chat app, but it still didn't work.

"Was he left in the War Dragon World..."

Chu Xuan still had some impressions. At that time in the War Dragon World, when that sky-covering hand slapped down, everyone chose to return immediately, and blue beams of light lit up all over their bodies.

But at the last moment, Chu Xuan vaguely saw a golden light appear on Tang Zheng's body.

And when they first entered the War Dragon World, a golden light had also lit up on Tang Zheng's body, which allowed them all to pass through the spatial turbulence smoothly.

"That golden light is related to the War Dragon World... Fighting God Territory, and Tang Zheng's Talent is also Fighting God... I hope he can be safe under that giant hand."

Chu Xuan's eyes showed deep thought. For this, he could only try to contact [Future Tang Zheng] through the next dream simulation to confirm whether the other party was safe.

Putting the phone back into the Exclusive Space, Chu Xuan saw that Hu Xian had not yet returned, and the remaining two Night Watchers seemed to be chatting casually, but their eyes scanned over from time to time, appearing particularly vigilant.

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow: "I don't mind staying here, but let them go first. These are all ordinary people who have been frightened and need to find a place to get checked and treated."

His exclusive mission was to lead the remaining twelve survivors to leave St. Lianna Hospital alive. They had only left the inpatient building now, but had not yet left the hospital grounds.

"Sorry, please wait for Hu Xian to come back. Please understand..."

"It will be soon, just wait a little longer. We are all following the rules. It's a special period now, and everything must go through official procedures."

The two spoke with smiles, but their tone was very firm.

"You're pushing your luck, aren't you?"

Chu Xuan's expression turned slightly cold. At the same time, without looking back, he said to the people behind him: "We are not out of danger yet. Everyone, keep following behind me."

As he spoke, Chu Xuan walked forward.

Seeing this, the two Night Watchers from the capital both changed their expressions and hurriedly stepped forward to block him, saying in a deep voice: "Chu Xuan, please don't make it difficult for us..."

"Get lost!"
