Yi Nanzhi simply washed off the mud on his body.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been in that poisonous fog, but the wounds on my body are getting worse and worse, starting to fester and become inflamed, causing unbearable pain.

My right foot is getting more swollen and I have to grit my teeth to walk.

The same was true for several other people. They looked pale and their wounds did not improve. Instead, they became inflamed and swollen, and became more serious.

Jiang Miaomiao: "Uncle and aunt, our cell phones have no signal. Can I borrow your cell phone to call our family?"

"After being missing for so long, his family must be worried to death."

Lao Ma took out his cell phone and showed it to everyone: "Our cell phones have had no signal for two or three days."

"It must be because of the heavy rain a few days ago. This place is remote, so the signal was cut off."

As if they were afraid that everyone would not believe them, the other three NPCs also took out their cell phones to show them.

It's definitely no signal.

Everyone: "..."

Shen Yu quickly added: "In that case, let's leave right away! I really want to go home, and my family must be waiting for us to go back."

Lao Ma showed an embarrassment: "This... I'm afraid you can't leave today."

"There is only one bridge leading to the outside of our community, and it was washed away by heavy rain the past two days."

"There's no signal right now to contact someone. Why don't you stay at our house today? When there's a signal tomorrow, we'll contact the police and your family!"

Everyone: "..."

Routine!!!

This is to keep them here!

They definitely couldn't go back into the forest; it was too dangerous and their physical condition wasn't good enough.

Yi Nanzhi thought about it and said in an embarrassed tone: "Then... I'll trouble you uncles and aunts!"

Xiaoyan immediately showed a warm smile: "It's not a big deal!"

"We wanted to send you back earlier to save your family from worrying, but who would have thought this would happen? It's such an unfortunate coincidence!"

I heard from these NPCs that the building where the explosion occurred at Ci Xin Private Hospital has been renovated.

However, during the renovation, a lot of strange things happened in the hospital. Many workers said they saw ghosts, and several workers died in accidents.

After the renovation was finally completed, strange things happened again in the hospital. People often said it was haunted and medical machines often malfunctioned.

Later, the dean invited a master to take a look, but no one else knew what was said specifically.

Anyway, later on, the Ci Xin Hospital moved to a new location and changed its name. It is said that it is now called Xin Ci Private Hospital.

Old Ma became more and more excited as he spoke, spitting all over the place: "This hospital is so scary! It must be the ghosts of those who died in the explosion. They are haunting here! Don't you agree?"

Everyone: "..."

Shen Yu showed a confused expression: "Ah? We don't know this either!"

Yi Nanzhi nodded repeatedly beside him, revealing a frightened and timid expression: "We just heard about it now, it's quite scary."

Old Ma glanced at Xiaoyan and the others and said nothing.

Xiaoyan: "These kids must have been frightened."

"Come home with us and have a good rest. We can also look for some medicine that can be used."

Yi Nanzhi pointed to the three buildings outside the door and asked: "Why are the windows of some houses sealed with cement?"

Hearing this, Lao Ma came over and lowered his voice: "Have you heard of the ashes room?"

"Nowadays, many people think that cemeteries are too expensive, so they buy cheap residential buildings to store their ashes. Tsk, how unlucky!"

Xiaoyan also spoke up, frowning: "That's right, how can you turn a living person's house into a tomb? It's so immoral!"

"I'll move out when I have money!"

Yi Nanzhi: “…”

At first glance, it seems reasonable.

They rested for a while in the convenience store, and Xiaoyan and Lao Ma said they would take them upstairs to rest.

After leaving the convenience store, everyone looked around.

Just like what the NPC said, there is only one bridge leading to the outside world from the community.

The bridge had indeed collapsed and the rubble had fallen into the river, but it was not known whether the collapse was caused by the rain.

On the other side of the bridge was a road surrounded by trees, with no signs of human life in sight.

Xiaoyan sighed.

"There used to be other exits! But they were near the hospital. Now the forest has become a mess. It's no longer passable. Only this bridge is left."

Xiaoyan and Lao Ma lived in the building at the edge closest to the store, and everyone followed them to the residential building.

Dou Qirui covered his mouth and lowered his voice: "There is definitely something wrong with these NPCs."

Yi Nanzhi: "They may be related to the dean. Didn't they say before that some people were not dead yet, and he took care of the aftermath."

Lu Yuan shook his head: "We have all heard the dean's voice, and these people are not him."

"But we cannot rule out the possibility that he is the dean's accomplice. Be careful! The real boss never takes action on his own!"

Lao Ma turned around suddenly and asked: "What are you guys talking about?"

Yi Nanzhi subconsciously replied quickly: "You are such nice people, so kind. We are so touched. Meeting you is really a blessing from our previous life."

There was no fluctuation in the tone.

Lao Ma and Xiao Yan: "......"

“Hahaha…these kids are just kind-hearted.”

After entering the building, everyone found that the building was actually in the shape of a U.S. character.

There are houses all around, and there is a circle of corridors outside the entrance doors of the houses.

There is a hollow patio in the middle of the building.

It is in this patio...that is filled with interwoven thick red hemp ropes.

It was the same twine they had seen across the bridge.

These hemp ropes were crisscrossed and tied to the railings of the three-story corridor, on which were hung densely packed... dolls???!

These dolls are wearing different little clothes, and each doll has different hair and expressions.

The point is...the dolls' necks are hung on hemp ropes, making them look like they are collectively hanged. They are swaying in the air but will not fall down.

Everyone standing at the bottom of the patio looking up was shocked.

Weird and penetrating.

Shen Yu: "What are these dolls...?"

Xiaoyan looked up at the dolls and said, "Hey, they are said to be able to ward off evil spirits. They give us residents some psychological comfort."

Old Ma spat, "There's a haunted hospital nearby, and the neighbors are still ashes. The Taoist priest said this can keep people safe and keep away evil spirits. In fact, it's just for peace of mind. It's useless. You don't have to care about it."

"Let's go upstairs. There's no elevator here. Xiaoyan and I both live on the third floor."

"You have difficulty walking, so walk slowly."

The staircase was quite spacious, and even the walls and handrails in the corridor were covered with yellow talisman paper.

Yi Nanzhi: "How many people live in this community now?"

Lao Ma evaded the question, "...Well, I haven't counted them exactly, but some residents are outside because of the rain and can't come back for the time being."
