death gap

Chapter 17 Professionals
Wuchang City, Central Hospital, inpatient building.

When Su Chen regained consciousness, his nose was filled with the faint smell of disinfectant. When he opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar blue-white ceiling above him.

The back of the left hand was slightly tingling.

It seemed that some icy liquid was injected into his own blood vessels along the stinging part.

"Are you awake?" Gu Yanchi's voice came to his ears.

Su Chen blinked and glanced subconsciously in the direction of the sound - the intersection of shadow and sunlight. The blond girl with a bandage around her neck was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him in surprise.

"It seems you're fine too. We're lucky."

He sat up from the bed and found that his hands were wrapped in thick bandages, as if they had been treated.

Seeing the young man looking at his hands, Gu Yanchi quickly told him:

"You have just had a minor surgery on your hand. The doctor helped you shave off the rotten flesh. You will be able to recover in a while. The reason for the coma is due to excessive physical exhaustion and you need to inject some glucose. Otherwise, there are no problems."

"What about you?" Su Chen looked at her neck.

"Fortunately, no artery was injured." Gu Yanchi patted his chest with a frightened expression:

"It would be very dangerous if you injure an artery. Fortunately, it's not that bad. Just remove the carrion like you and you'll be fine."

After saying that, she showed a sunny smile and made a victory gesture.

"This situation is quite dangerous."

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and returned his eyes to his hands:
"I just fought off the zombies, not completely eliminated them...so those monsters will come back at any time! If we want to completely solve the problem, we must kill the weird ones."

When he said this, he was full of confidence because the god-like mask had been charged 95%.

As soon as you see something strange, you will definitely be able to complete the final charge.

"You don't need to think about this matter, Mr. Su Chen." A smoky voice came from across the bed.

Only then did Su Chen realize that two well-dressed middle-aged men were sitting on the bench opposite his hospital bed.

The speaker kept his head low and his tone was calm with a hint of stability:
"It's really brave to fight off the zombies alone. Considering your age, it's very impressive."

"I really learned a lot of kung fu."

"But you must not be complacent. Compared with the weirdness, the corpse is as fragile as a baby."

"With your current abilities, you will definitely die if you encounter something weird."

"Let us handle the matter of Gu Yanchi's child from now on. The two of us are professionals."

After listening to his words, Su Chen looked them up and down, and then asked:

"Professionals...are you officially sent?"

The two nodded at the same time, and the other man with his hair styled into a pink chestnut smile smiled, looked at him and said:
"Since you are already an insider, we have nothing to hide. In the face of the strange invasion, the officials are not just spectators watching indifferently."

“Before the situation gets out of hand, there will be people like us coming to deal with it.”

"Here, we can guarantee you with our lives and possessions that Gu Yanchi will be held accountable to the end."

Su Chen nodded noncommittally and looked at the blond girl next to him:
"Is their identity reliable? If they are liars..."

"Reliable." Gu Yanchi nodded vigorously, with bright eyes: "The director led them to find me. This matter is endorsed by the city bureau, so there must be no problem."

"That's good." Su Chen finally felt relieved: "I hope you can get rid of your bad luck." After saying that, he stared at the short-haired man and expressed his doubts:
"Since there are official personnel like you, why did you sit back and do nothing before and delete other people's videos indiscriminately?"

"Avoid panic." The latter folded his shoulders, showing a look of helplessness:
"In addition, our industry is very busy. It seems that the last vacation was four years ago... What's more important is that due to the economic downturn, many of our subordinate units have laid off many staff, and many information cannot be reported back in time."

His explanation was not satisfactory, and Su Chen could only accept it reluctantly.

"Okay, can you really deal with weirdness?" The young man looked at them suspiciously.

"According to our information, the weirdness that haunts Gu Yanchi is the lowest level." Another professional showed a confident smile:

"We have dealt with several weird ones of this level, so you can rest assured."

"So powerful?" Su Chen widened his eyes in disbelief.

"That's how awesome it is." The short-haired man chuckled.

"I wish you good luck." Su Chen had nothing to say and could only sincerely wish them a smooth resolution of the matter.

Since it is the officials who are involved, there is no room for them to comment.

It's just... that the calamity power is still 5% short of being fully charged.

He was a little reluctant to not be able to solve the weirdness himself.

"Don't worry, we will consider your difficulties after we have settled this little girl's matter. Don't worry, in most cases we only pull you once every three months, so there is still a lot of time." The short-haired man said. He stood up from the bench and looked at the blonde girl:
"We have to go. If it gets dark, there will be a lot of inconvenience. You should know."

"We know." Gu Yanchi's eyes flashed slightly, he bit his lip and said:

"Can you wait for me outside the ward? I have something to say to him."

"..."

The short-haired man frowned and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else, but was pushed out by the pink chestnut head:
"Don't be so ignorant, old man. Just wait outside and let the young people say goodbye! Nothing will happen under the sun..."

Watching the two of them walk out the door, Gu Yanchi's bright and beautiful eyes started to wander, giving him a misty feeling:
"I obviously said we would face it together...but I'm sorry, I can't drag you into this anymore."

"It's nothing, I don't mind." Su Chen replied seriously.

"Thank you." The blonde girl bit her lower lip, her fair face flushed, and she suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered softly.
"you are my hero."

After saying that, she covered her face shyly, turned around quickly, and ran out of the ward like a frightened deer.

"..."

Seeing the blond girl's disappearing back, Su Chen was startled, then smiled with relief.

For her, this choice must be the best of both worlds.

After all, only you know about the Mimikyu Mask.

Besides, she was still injured, so she just made the kindest choice.

At this moment, the consciousness space suddenly blazed brightly, and among the seven stars across the sky, another star flickered violently.

"Elements collected."

"Activation conditions - selfless and altruistic."

"You can activate the God-like Mask·Creation. Do you want to activate the mask?"
