Chapter 120.3: Love Welfare Institute (1/2)

Little Mu Ke stopped running. As a result, he was pulled by a person hiding in the mushroom. He almost screamed with fright but the other person covered his mouth.

The other person lowered his voice while looking little Mu Ke up and down strangely. “…What are you running back for? To give your head? Don’t mess with him!”

Little Mu Ke’s face was full of tears. He hugged the blood bag in his arms and sobbed as he looked at the man. “However, I don’t want to see him die for me. I promised Bai Liu (6) to save him.”

Mu Ke breathed quietly and was silent for a moment. Then he said, “I also don’t want to see him die but he promised me. He won’t die so we have to believe in him and wait.”

Mu Ke and Liu Huai were hiding in a corner of the tunnel. Neither of them had any significant combat power so Bai Liu asked them to hide while he went out alone to meet the enemy. Mu Ke fiercely opposed it at first. He said that Bai Liu only had 0.5 health. Could his fighting ability be better than them? This might be the first time Mu Ke refuted Bai Liu but he soon stopped under Bai Liu’s eyes. Even so, he didn’t apologize.

Soon, Bai Liu proposed a plan that could temporarily control Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang. This plan barely convinced Mu Ke.

“This tunnel is where the deformed children monsters live during the day.” Bai Liu said. “Once it is 9 o’clock, they will come back. If those monsters come across us then they will definitely attack us. However, if they find people by phone, we—”

Mu Ke exclaimed, “We have two phones that can avoid being located! We grabbed them from the deformed children. As long as our phones stay on, they won’t find us and will attack the Miao Feichi duo.”

Bai Liu nodded. “This attack might not be able to hold them for long but it will allow us to escape with little Mu Ke. We can’t go to the hospital side. After 9 ‘clock, the investors and nurses will start to move. It isn’t safe. We can only go to the church side. That side has the children’s safety zone.”

Mu Ke took a deep breath and looked at Bai Liu. His body leaned forward and his tone was even a bit aggressive. “Bai Liu, your plan seems to have no problems but I have a question for you. We only have two phones from the deformed children while we have three people on this side. In other words, there is no way for one person’s phone to constantly be busy. This person will be attacked like Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang. Who are you going to let be attacked?”

Bai Liu looked indifferently into Mu Ke’s eyes before looking down. “Once little Mu Ke is there, we will have a third phone that can call my phone. Otherwise, we can pick up a phone from a dead child or I can steal one.”

“Don’t try to fool me.” Mu Ke’s chest was slightly heaving as he calmly refuted Bai Liu’s words. “The child’s phone can’t call after 9 o’clock and the dead children’s phones can’t be used. You are going to steal a phone. This method—”

Mu Ke’s eyes fell on the broken arm and his breathing and tone became urgent. “You only have one arm to use. If you are trying to steal then you won’t be able to resist the attack. We don’t have anyone to cooperate with your stealing. Liu Huai is out of his mind and I have no attack power. The method you mentioned can’t be used at all. In the end, we only have two children’s phones that can be used.”

“This means that one person out of three must have their phone ringing.” Mu Ke stared straight at Bai Liu. “Bai Liu, who is this person?”

Bai Liu quietly watched Mu Ke, his eyes calm and clear like a lake.

“Haven’t you already guessed? That person is me.”

Mu Ke let out a mouthful of turbid gas. He twisted his hands together and tried his best to say this sentence peacefully. “Bai Liu, I don’t agree. Your health is only 0.5. Liu Huai and I don’t have any attack power. We have no way to protect you when the phone rings in the chaos.”

“No one can protect you. You really will die.” Mu Ke paused. He saw Bai Liu’s unmoved expression and his voice became begging. “…Don’t do this. Please, Bai Liu?”

Bai Liu paused before suddenly chuckling. “Who said that no one will protect me?”

It was 9 o’clock.

Mu Ke’s breathing slowed down and he quickly became anxious. He took out his phone and called Liu Huai’s phone to make sure that Liu Huai’s phone was busy. This way, he wouldn’t be found by a deformed child returning to the nest.

Then Mu Ke held the only remaining child’s phone and didn’t move. He raised his head to look at Bai Liu who was still struggling with Miao Feichi. He gripped the phone in his hand and hesitated a few times to press a phone number. Finally, he leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. His fingers trembled as he pressed a phone number.

Mu Ke’s phone rang and was picked up by him. Now both phones were useless. Mu Ke leaned against the wall, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, not daring to look at the situation behind him.

If things didn’t go as Bai Liu expected then Bai Liu would die.

There was a rustling sound at the end of the passage on both sides, like the sound of mice running on the ground. The sound came from all directions like mice smelling food. There was a richer smell of blood and decay in Mu Ke’s nose that was getting closer to Mu Ke. Strangely, he didn’t see anything coming but the sound passed by him.

Little Mu Ke in his arms pulled his sleeve and pointed up.

Mu Ke looked up at the tunnel and couldn’t help holding his breath. There were many strange deformed children with sharp heads, small deformed limbs, bulging bones, abnormally white skin, unusually large mouths, eyes at the temples and crippled limbs. These deformed children were covered with all types of infusion bags, hanging on the ceiling of the tunnel like bats at night. They moved forward, their eyes reflecting a green light like a variant of a blood-sucking bat.

The light in the tunnel was extremely dim. In addition, these children were moving around the mushrooms. They were covered with colorful bags that were the same background color as the mushrooms. For a moment, Mu Ke hadn’t realized that this group of children ‘came over’ from above.

“Feichi, it is 9 o’clock. I hear sounds coming over. The deformed children are back!” Miao Gaojiang lowered his voice. “Don’t care about Bai Liu! It is no use killing him! Catch the children! Be careful not to disturb the monster children. It will cost us a lot of health to kill them…”

Before Miao Gaojiang’s voice finished, Bai Liu didn’t hesitate to pull out a white fluorescent whip and swing it.

The fishbone whip wasn’t strong enough to damage the monster children but his weapon was very powerful. It instantly attracted the aggro of the monsters. The deformed children all stopped, their green eyes wide open as they stared at the investor.

[System notification: Player Bai Liu has angered the deformed children who went back to sleep in the tunnel. They have decided to severely punish this bad guy!]

“Damn! Bai Liu, are you crazy?! These deformed children will attack you!” Miao Feichi looked up to see many monster children and his expression changed. “How can there be so many monsters? How many children did this hospital kill?”

The children looked up and screamed sharply. They wriggled along the wall and spread out their sharp nails like disturbed bats. They crawled down the wall and approached Miao Feichi and Bai Liu.

However, in such a dark tunnel, it was impossible to accurately locate the target they wanted to attack with their eyes. Just like bats that relied on ultrasound, these deformed children who lived in the tunnel for a long time were like bats. Their eyes and vision had deteriorated and they located things by sound.
