Chapter 1804
1804 An Unexpected Attack
The special VIP Wards in Azure Medical Center were in an independent seven-story building.
However, due to the large number of wounded that had been sent over last night, the first to third floors had been opened up as temporary treatment areas, and they were already packed to the brim.
The fourth floor was a quarantine zone, and a team of armed superhumans from the Azure Alliance was stationed there. The incident with the Blood Alliance had not come to an end, and Lu Siya was an important person involved. To prevent her from encountering any mishaps, security measures could not be ignored.
When Meng Chao arrived on the fifth floor, he saw a few doctors and nurses going down.
!!
“What’s going on?”
They were all members of the medical team that was looking after Lu Siya.
Song Jinbo hurried up to him.
“Chairwoman Su is up there.”
The chubby head nurse first looked at Meng Chao in surprise before she said, “She told us that she didn’t have enough manpower, so she asked us to deal with the normal patients first. She’ll personally look after Madam Lu.
Meng Chao frowned slightly.
There was nothing wrong with this arrangement.
Yet, the warning signs in the depths of his mind were getting stronger and stronger.
Meng Chao did not have the time to ask questions. He pushed the crowd aside and rushed to the top floor in two steps.
There were also several armed superhumans from the Azure Alliance stationed in the long corridor.
Two of them looked familiar.
Judging from the multi-functional heavy-fire spirit artificial limbs they were wearing, they should be members of the Broken Star Club. They had followed Meng Chao to cultivate the Ultimate Style and had fought alongside Meng Chao, as well as Lu Siya, many times.
When they saw Meng Chao, the two broken-star superhumans immediately smiled knowingly and went up to him.
Meng Chao’s gaze moved past their shoulders toward the VIP Ward at the end of the corridor.
At first glance, the VIP Ward appeared quiet, and there was no movement.
However, for some reason, Meng Chao felt that there was an ominous ripple in the air.
It was like water vapor that was on the verge of freezing before a storm.
Suddenly, there was a soft “pop,” as if something had exploded at the end of the corridor, but it also felt like the entire space trembled.
Meng Chao’s pupils shrank to the size of two needle tips.
He turned into a bolt of lightning and dodged the eyes of the two broken-star superhumans, shooting out from between them.
However, just as he was about to reach the ward door, which, in theory, could not have blocked him, he felt an invisible iron wall in his way.
No, it was not appropriate to describe it as an “iron wall.” It was not some indestructible material, but something as soft, dense, and deep as seawater and as sticky as asphalt, which could easily suffocate someone.
When Meng Chao charged over at a speed close to the sound barrier, he was like a huge rock free-falling from beyond the atmosphere and smashing into the ocean.
Even if he smashed the ocean and created raging waves, it would be impossible for him to make a hole in the ocean.
“This is… a space barrier generator!”
Meng Chao’s heart was in turmoil.
Ripples were raised in the space around him as he rammed into it, making him feel that he was in a broken, mottled void.
The backlash from the spatial ripples even made him feel as if the sky and earth were spinning, and organs were upside down.
This device that originated from the ancient ruins could directly interfere and even tear space.
Even Deity Realm experts could not break through the restrictions of spatial laws in a hurry.
Twenty-four hours ago, the members of the Blood Alliance had used the space barrier generator to kidnap Lu Siya.
He did not expect that once the Blood Alliance fell apart, he would run into the space barrier generator again.
The originally clear situation had once again become complicated and confusing.
However, when Meng Chao tried his best to activate his vitality magnetic field, his iron fist, which was burning with spirit energy, struck the space in front of him that was blocked by the “transparent asphalt.” That caused the power of the space barrier generator to exceed its limit and release cracking sounds. It even tore the door into pieces.
When Meng Chao passed through the door, the scene inside completely exceeded his expectations.
Originally, all the clues pointed to Lu Siya hiding a part of the truth, so Meng Chao wanted to ask her about it.
At this moment, Lu Siya was still trapped in a huge medical chamber. She was extremely haggard and in pain.
There was someone above her holding a syringe filled with an unknown liquid. He was trying to inject it into her carotid artery.
That person was Su Mulian.
“What’s going on?”
Meng Chao was dumbfounded.
His impression of Su Mulian was that she was as ancient, quiet, and unchanging as a wood carving.
Her every move was filled with the aura of someone who bemoaned the state of the universe and pitied mankind. Her actions held the consciousness of someone who knew that others would suffer if she was not good enough.
Even when she was transferring the most serious diseases of the deformed and ugly patients from Leprosy Village into her body and suffering the excruciating pain that felt like thousands of ants were gnawing on her heart, she rarely showed anything more than a slight frown.
She was a typical ascetic.
Meng Chao thought that nothing in the world that could move her.
However, at this moment, Su Mulian was kneeling on Lu Siya’s chest and using all of her strength to stab a cold and shiny needle tip into her neck. It was as if she had been possessed by a ghost and was a completely different person.
Her face was hideous as she gritted her teeth, and her eyes were bloodshot. Thick blood vessels were bulging on her slender arms like swollen earthworms.
Due to the space shield, Meng Chao could not hear the sounds in the ward.
However, from Su Mulian’s hysterical appearance, it was not difficult to imagine the kind of shrill wails and howls that were being released from her rapidly rising and falling chest.
Su Mulian was not supposed to have any extraordinary combat power except for her incredible healing skills.
With the monster’s will in her body, Lu Siya would never be hurt by Su Mulian.
However, Meng Chao and Lu Siya herself had removed the monstrous power last night.
For this, she paid the price of having her spirit meridians broken and her body seriously injured.
Su Mulian had the highest authority to operate the medical cabin, so she could inject a large amount of sleeping pills and tranquilizers into the medical drugs to further make Lu Siya lose her ability to resist.
Judging from the fact that she had secretly installed the space barrier generator, the attack was neither an accident nor a reckless act.
Instead, it was carefully planned and premeditated.
But why?
Not only did Lu siya and Su Mulian not have any enmity, but they were also partners in the reconstruction of the Lair and Azure Medical Center. There was no reason for them to turn against each other.
Even if there were differences and contradictions in their work, it was not enough to make a simple and quiet woman like Su Mulian to go crazy!
This was something that Meng Chao could not understand.
Even Lu Siya, who was crossing her arms to resist Su Mulian, was shocked and scared.
