Hei Deng Xia Huo

Chapter 725 Bathing

During the next period, the Plague Doctor remained in room 0608, dealing with the Rotting Figure.

The Rotting Figure's attack methods were extremely bizarre. With a wave of its hand, it could sever space, grabbing distant objects and bringing them close.

Its palms were covered in corrosive black liquid. Once touched, equipment and props would be corroded and destroyed.

Skin and muscle splashed with the black liquid would also rot and break down, requiring entire chunks to be cut away with a scalpel to stop the corrosion—

Moreover, this type of injury couldn't be healed with ordinary treatment methods.

Medical skills cast on the wound had extremely slow effects.

The Plague Doctor barely managed to hold on with the skills and equipment he had. Each breath he took was detected by the Rotting Figure, which would attack and interrupt him.

The opponent seemed particularly fond of attacking the Plague Doctor's limbs, especially the wrists and ankles at the ends of his limbs.

As time passed, the Rotting Figure's reaction speed became faster and faster, and the time the Plague Doctor had to breathe became shorter and shorter.

The Rotting Figure could pass through solid matter and, through building structures connected by solid matter, shuttle around.

For example, from outside the door to inside the door, from outside the wall to inside the wall, from the floor to the ceiling.

Each time it shuttled, it would leave black liquid on the solid medium, and its speed would suddenly increase when walking on it.

The Plague Doctor's dodging space became smaller and smaller. The tendons in his hands and feet were damaged, making his movements stagger and difficult.

Meanwhile, the opponent stared blankly ahead with its black bean-sized, lifeless eyes, chewing on the chunks of flesh torn from the Plague Doctor's body in its heavily leaking mouth, waiting for the next breath.

Just when the Plague Doctor felt he had reached a dead end and was about to resolve himself to self-destruct,

The door to room 0608 opened.

Bai Haozheng and 13mArk walked in from the corridor. They had seen the paper the Plague Doctor had left outside the door and had enough information.

They entered the room to help the Plague Doctor.

The three players took turns breathing. If one was trapped, the other two would step forward to help, trying to minimize the damage.

With the assistance of two teammates, the Plague Doctor finally had time to think of a solution.

He and Ω were actually members of the notorious Evil Scientist Alliance.

The latter was good at distilling and liquefying souls, extracting terrifying energy.

While the former was good at emergency treatment, poison attacks, and body modification.

The Plague Doctor took out a prop called [Unlicensed Scalpel] and cut a gash in his chest on the spot.

The special effect of the [Unlicensed Scalpel] was to store twenty surgical records.

The user could perform surgery on himself or others in advance and save the surgical effects.

When used, he only needed to cut into the subject's body with the scalpel and maintain it for a period of time to directly release the surgical effects.

It could be used for battlefield first aid, wound stitching, and body modification.

It could also be used to cut the trachea, perform craniotomies, and remove the heart.

Offensive and defensive.

The Plague Doctor released a body modification surgery on himself, urgently adjusting his respiratory system to expand the stratum corneum, hair follicle sebaceous glands, and sweat duct openings.

He was able to draw nutrients from the air, achieving the effect of skin respiration and reducing his dependence on lung respiration.

Subsequently, the Plague Doctor used the same method on Bai Haozheng and 13mArk, and all three of them switched to skin respiration.

This was indeed effective. The Rotting Figure's reaction and attack speed decreased significantly.

However, before the Plague Doctor and the others could be happy for long, the Rotting Figure grinned, suddenly moved close to the Plague Doctor,

And slammed the bag it was holding over the Plague Doctor's head.

The Plague Doctor instantly lost control of his body. In a daze, he saw a dilapidated building similar in height to an underground parking lot in that bag.

The lights were dim, and the concrete on the walls and ceiling was peeling off, revealing rusty steel bars.

In the darkness, he could vaguely see a pile of things that looked like human corpses—those corpses seemed to be wearing uniform clothing, but because the light was too dim and the surfaces of the corpses were covered in dried blood,

He couldn't make out the style of clothing the corpses were wearing.

The Plague Doctor felt like he was in the bag for a second, and also like he had been there for a hundred years,

Until a loud noise broke his trance.

Bai Haozheng rescued the Plague Doctor from the Rotting Figure's hands. Risking his palms being splashed with the black liquid, he plucked the Plague Doctor out of the bag,

Swung him backhand, threw the Plague Doctor out the door, and directly into the elevator shaft with the door not closed (they had also used heavy objects to jam the elevator door when they came).

13mArk entered the elevator with the Plague Doctor, pressed the up button, returned to the eighth floor, and then the elevator descended, carrying Bai Haozheng up to the eighth floor, where the three reunited.

The above is the Plague Doctor's personal experience.

The other people who received memos: Li Ang, Mule, Wanli Fengdao, 13mArk.

The memo Li Ang received was [Go take a shower].

He received the memo around 00:20, then entered the bathroom and, following the instructions on the memo, turned on the showerhead and started showering.

During this process, the bathroom light bulb flickered on and off, then suddenly exploded and went out.

A cold laughter came from the darkness.

Li Ang vaguely felt that there was a Heterogeneity lurking in the bathroom, slowly approaching him as darkness fell.

He calmly used the Biological Motherboard to evolve firefly light-emitting cells on himself, gathering them all over his body.

Shining like a flash of Ultraman, illuminating the bathroom as bright as day, dispelling the darkness.

Then, he used alchemy to create a new light bulb, installed it, and restored light to the bathroom.

He even had time to pick up the glass shards on the floor, wrap them in several layers of paper towels, tape them tightly, and stick a label on the surface that said "Glass Shards Inside."

He threw it into the trash can to prevent the garbage collector's fingers from being cut by the glass shards.

Such civilized behavior did not arouse the admiration of the Heterogeneity lurking in the dark.

As Li Ang continued to shower, the clear water spraying from the showerhead suddenly turned into a腥臭 bloody water,

The entire bathroom was filled with a strange腥气.

Li Ang's expression remained unchanged, and he grabbed a handful of soil and alchemized a water purifier, which contained dozens of filter layers.

They were equipped with PP cotton, granular activated carbon, precision compressed activated carbon, reverse osmosis membrane, ultrafiltration membrane, and post-activated carbon.

The filtration function was strengthened to the extreme, which could easily remove suspended matter, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, residual chlorine, sediment, rust, and microorganisms.

Then, he installed this unique self-made water purifier on the showerhead.

The water volume suddenly decreased, but correspondingly, the blood sprayed by the showerhead was also filtered into clear water.

Li Ang even provocatively alchemized a coffee cup, brewed a cup of coffee with hot water, and slowly took a few sips.

To prove the power of the water purifier.

This time, the Heterogeneity lurking in the bathroom just silently watched Li Ang finish two cups of coffee and remained silent for a full twenty minutes without taking any action.
