143. The Surviving Awakened
The howling gray monster pounced on Zhou Chu and then hit him.
It was like a bucket of water poured on my face, my whole body was wet, and at the same time, I could feel that in the sewage transformed from the gray monster that broke me, some of them seemed to have life, flowing along my arms and body, and then quickly penetrated into my body.
You can feel the invasion of water flow and water droplets in your body, but the first response is not the origin virus, but the blood-red heart.
Blood, which also carried some spiritual consciousness, quickly split out from the blood vessels, and then faced the invading gray-blue water flow. The two spiritual energy fought together, and the battlefield was inside Zhou Chu's body.
From a distance, Zhou Chu seemed to have lost his mind after being poured into a bucket of sewage, standing there wet and stupidly, motionless.
But the fierce battle is actually continuing, inside him.
However, the spiritual power contained in the red blood is even more powerful and irresistible. The gray-blue water flow only retreated after invading the surface of Zhou Chu's body, and was forced to retreat from the inner layer to the surface, and then forced out of the skin. Finally, with a scream, more than a dozen streams of water shot out from Zhou Chu's body, which once again gathered into the gray monster not far away.
Listening to the other party's scream, Zhou Chu asked tentatively.
"Don't you fight me?"
The monster screamed again, nodding.
"Okay, I won't fight you anymore."
The monster nodded again and then gestured something.
Zhou Chu watched it for a long time before he understood.
"You mean, someone is approaching?"
The monster nodded again, and then after another scream, his whole body gradually disappeared into the air.
In Zhou Chu's perception, the monster was indeed gradually moving away. He breathed a sigh of relief after the monster completely moved away. This was also the first monster he encountered in the Silent Hill world that could communicate. But this monster still gave him a feeling that it did not belong here. It seemed like the blood-red heart, it was the product of some kind of object, artificially brought to this world.
It was just like the gray monster told him. In Zhou Chu's perception range, he could feel four people running from a certain direction.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Chu put away his initial form and walked to the edge of the rooftop. Sitting there, waiting for the four people to run into the hospital gate, then jumped down from the high rooftop, and with a bang, it fell in front of the four people who were shocked and suspicious.
"Squad Castella?"
Zhou Chu asked this and pressed his watch at the same time.
After the watch lit up, the information about Zhou Chu's team in the Silent Hill was revealed.
‘Member of Kawashima Yoshiko’s team, Zhou Chu.’
After collecting the information, Zhou Chucai said: "I don't know if anyone has notified you. I will be responsible for the search, defense, etc. in this area."
"Really?" said one of the four Asian women, who was a little happy. She looked like a Korean. "I thought we were abandoned, that's great."
Zhou Chu just smiled. He was observing the reactions of the other three people, which was different from the women who were happy. The other three men were all hiding their true thoughts, but Zhou Chu could still feel them. Two of them breathed a sigh of relief, only the tall black man showed a hint of disdain and disgust.
Zhou Chu, who saw all this, just smiled and said to the four people: "Let me introduce myself."
"I am Jin Xuanzhu. These two are my teammates, Jabel and Kurt, and the other is Wynn Hughes in Pilner's team."
The woman immediately told Zhou Chu the names of herself and the other three, and then Zhou Chu looked at the tall black man who showed disdain and disgust.
"Huces, there should be another member in your team..."
"Dead!"
Hughes interrupted Zhou Chu without hesitation, giving Zhou Chu no face at all. Jin Xuanzhu wanted to persuade him, but she wanted to speak but stopped.
Zhou Chu just smiled, and seemed to have no concern. He clapped his hands and smiled at Jin Xuanzhu and said, "Next, take me to your current shelter and take a look, and then I'll see if I can win you a church."
"Church?! Is it really OK?" Jin Xuanzhu was a little excited, and the other two also showed some expressions. In the Silent Hill World, what the church means is something that every awakened person knows.
"Well, it should be no problem." Zhou Chu said, looking at Hughes, "It's just because your captain died, you have to sign Scarry's contract again."
"No problem!" Jin Xuanzhu promised the vote, but Hughes asked a little strangely.
“What contract?”
"I'll tell you again when I look back." Jin Xuanzhu quickly said to Hughes and gave him a wink, "I haven't had time to tell you for a while."
Hughes didn't know what was called binding contract.
Zhou Chu saw all this, but said nothing. He just left the municipal hospital with Jin Xuanzhu's warm greeting.
On the way, Jin Xuanzhu seemed to remember the purpose of their arrival and asked Zhou Chu a little strangely.
"By the way, we came here because we heard a whistle like a monster. What happened?"
"Screaming?" Zhou Chu looked at Jin Xuanzhu in surprise and shook his head, "I have been searching in the municipal hospital and I have heard nothing."
"But we did hear it." Jin Xuanzhu said, and the other two nodded to indicate that they had heard it too. Only Hughes looked at Zhou Chu calmly, as if he wanted to see if he was lying.
"Then I don't know..." Zhou Chu said with an innocent expression and confusingly, "You are sure you heard it right? I mean, now it's the time of the world, not the inner world, how could a monster appear?"
"..." Jin Xuanzhu was silent for a moment. Zhou Chu's retort question made her a little confused. Only when the inner world descended would there be twisted monsters. This is a fact that everyone knows, so even she herself was wondering whether she had heard it wrong, or the screaming sound was made by something else or some coincidence.
"What did you find in the hospital?" Hughes suddenly said this.
Zhou Chu glanced at Hughes and saw the other party staring at him tightly, he knew that Hughes must have known about Pilner's trip to Silent Hill Municipal Hospital. So he thought for a moment and answered Hughes.
"There are bloodstains, dried blood, and wet pieces everywhere. Nothing is found, but there is a strangeness everywhere. By the way, there is also... On the top floor, there seems to be a room that is different from the ordinary ward..."
Zhou Chu described the situation in the hospital in a scattered manner, and did not hide anything, because Hughes must have checked it out. As for what he found or knew, it didn't matter, because he could not discover the secret between Zhou Chu and Blood Red Heart.
After listening to Zhou Chu's description, Hughes said nothing. Instead, Jin Xuanzhu and the other two were very interested in Zhou Chu's description, saying that they would definitely go back and take a look if they had time.
While the group talked, they had already arrived at the Palm Tree Hotel where Jin Xuanzhu and others were currently living.
This is a hotel with a height of 19 floors. Just when you see it, Zhou Chu felt that this is a fortress.
That's right, it's just the feeling of a fortress. The first floor of the hotel was blocked with solid and difficult to destroy. The outside of the hotel could even create decent defense facilities like fortifications. In short, the first to third floors of the hotel were all arranged tightly. Basically, unless there were boss-level monsters like sickle men, mantis women, or blood-colored monsters and gray monsters, ordinary monsters may not be able to break through.
After seeing Zhou Chu's slightly surprised expression, Jin Xuanzhu was very proud and took Zhou Chu to the hotel.
After entering the hotel lobby, Zhou Chu discovered that the defense settings were not just outside, but even the halls on the first floor were covered with traps, crisscrossing one by one. When you touch them, you don’t know what mechanism of rope will trigger. If you step on them, you will be hung in the air, and sandbags that will appear at any time.
Just like the layers of mechanisms in a movie, Zhou Chu subconsciously asked.
"Who made it?"
"Huces." Jin Xuanzhu said, "He seems to be very proficient in this area. He even repaired the generator. It's just that we don't have enough diesel on our hands and we have to find a way. Otherwise, even with the current reserves, even if we save money, it will not last a few days."
Are you particularly proficient? Perhaps the predecessor is like Gao Ming, who was also a military retired or a special forces soldier. Everything here is full of the flavor of a special forces team.
After going up the second floor, the traps gradually decreased, and on the fourth floor, the place where these four people live, and the higher floor was their food and arms storage warehouse, and further up, there were idle rooms. Although there was nothing unusual, the downward passage was blocked, just in case.
If there is enough reserves and consumption, this is a good place. Unfortunately, this is not a Resident Evil world, but the last heart cannot be found. The inner world will continue to appear, and monsters will continue to come until they arrive forever, completely trapping them to death in the Silent Hill here.
So Zhou Chu just checked it a little, and then asked Hughes, Jin Xuanzhu, and others to go to St. Paul's Church to sign a contract with Scarry again.
Chapter completed!
