Chapter 35: Horror Hospital Mission
On the first floor, Zhao Qifei and the others had already made breakfast. Seeing Shen Xun and the others come down, Zhao Qifei quickly greeted them. “You’ve come at just the right time. I’ve just finished making the sandwiches. The cream of mushroom soup over there is also ready. It’s perfect to eat now.”
“Ah! Let me see what’s for breakfast.” Su Jian Yue trotted excitedly to the kitchen and saw that today’s breakfast was quite sumptuous. There were sandwiches, fried dough sticks, milk, cream of mushroom soup, and salad.
“So much delicious food?” Su Jian Yue’s eyes lit up.
Zheng Tianming was amused by her. “It’s alright. We wanted to give everyone a few choices. You can choose whichever you like. We also fried these dough sticks fresh this morning.”
“Can I have both?” Su Jian Yue surveyed the kitchen and found that she wanted to eat everything.
Zheng Tianming smiled. “Of course, you can. Just help yourself to whichever you like.”
“Hehe, then I won’t be polite.” With that, Su Jian Yue looked at Shen Xun and asked, “Older Sister, which one do you want?”
“I’ll just have a glass of milk and a sandwich. I can’t eat too much in the morning.”
“Then I’ll pour the milk for you,” Su Jian Yue said, and used a ladle to pour the milk from the pot into cups. Then she went to get the cream of mushroom soup.
Shen Xun first took two glasses of milk to the dining table, then brought over two sandwiches. She went back to the kitchen again and helped Su Jian Yue carry a fried dough stick to the dining table.
Su Jian Yue, on the other hand, brought her cream of mushroom soup to the table.
She had slept very well last night, so her appetite was also good this morning. Su Jian Yue first took a bite of the fried dough stick. Although the dough sticks Zhao Qifei and the others had fried were not as fluffy as the ones sold outside, they were at least clean, and they had used normal peanut oil.
Su Jian Yue nodded repeatedly as she ate. “Mmm, the dough sticks are so delicious. They’re fragrant and crispy. They go so well with milk.”
As Su Jian Yue spoke, she didn’t forget to take a few sips of milk.
Shen Xun ate a few bites of her sandwich. When she turned to look at Su Jian Yue, she saw the little puppy eating with gusto, not even bothering to lift her head. Her eyes curved into a smile. Little kids really do love to eat the most.
Su Jian Yue ate a fried dough stick, drank a glass of milk, and then started on the sandwich. She also took a few sips of cream of mushroom soup from time to time. “Mmm, these two are also delicious. I like them.”
Shen Xun teased with a smile, “As long as it’s delicious, you like it.”
“Of course. Hehe,” Su Jian Yue didn’t argue and replied obediently.
While Su Jian Yue was eating, the other guests also came downstairs one after another.
“Good morning. Breakfast is over there. Everyone can just choose for yourselves,” Zheng Tianming reminded them.
“Alright. Not bad today. It’s a buffet breakfast,” Yu Lin said as she went to the kitchen to get food.
On Su Jian Yue’s side, she was already full. She and Shen Xun took their bowls and plates to be washed, and then the two of them went to the sofa in the living room with Zheng Tianming and the others.
Before long, the host, Yang Rui, came over.
Seeing that the guests were all on the first floor, she said, “After everyone has finished breakfast, please gather in the living room at nine o’clock. We have a mission today. Later, everyone will take a minibus to go out and do the mission together, so lunch time may be delayed. Everyone should try to eat more for breakfast.”
“We’re going out to play? That’s great,” Su Jian Yue immediately became happy.
Shen Xun looked at the little puppy beside her, her eyes curving slightly.
Hearing that they were going out for a mission, Yu Lin and the others immediately ate a little more. After all, during the recording of the show, it was very likely that they wouldn’t have time for lunch.
At nine o’clock sharp, everyone had packed up and gathered in the living room.
Yang Rui smiled at the group and said, “Before we go to complete the mission, we need to form groups first. It will still be an alpha and an omega paired up, with two people in each group for the mission. This time, the guests can negotiate among themselves to determine their teammates.”
Su Jian Yue’s eyes lit up. She immediately looked at Shen Xun. “Older Sister, then I want to be in a team with you.”
Shen Xun nodded slightly. “Okay, the two of us will be a team.”
Zhao Qifei and Chen Zhibin exchanged a look, their faces turning green.
Liang Wenjing looked at the only remaining female alpha. She quickly looked at Jiang Ying and asked, “Jiang Ying, can we be a team?”
Jiang Ying nodded. She had a good impression of Liang Wenjing to begin with, so of course she wanted to interact with her more. “Okay.”
Mao Ning also became anxious and quickly said to Zheng Tianming, “Brother Zheng, let’s be a team, shall we?”
Zheng Tianming looked at Yu Lin with some difficulty. He rubbed his hands together and finally said, “I want to be in a team with Yu Lin.”
Yu Lin looked at the remaining two people, Zhao Qifei and Chen Zhibin. Good grief, they were both people she didn’t want to be in a team with. She quickly nodded. Compared to those two, Zheng Tianming was at least normal and not greasy.
“Okay, then the two of us will be a team,” Yu Lin said, and then looked at Mao Ning apologetically. “I’m sorry.”
Mao Ning sighed. “It’s okay. Then, Brother Zhao, shall I be in a team with you?”
Zhao Qifei nodded. “Alright.”
Anyway, it wasn’t Shen Xun. It was the same no matter who he chose. He wasn’t interested in male omegas either.
In the end, Ren Peng could only be in a team with Chen Zhibin.
Seeing that everyone had discussed it, Yang Rui smiled. “Alright, then let’s set off now.”
“Where are we going?” Su Jian Yue asked.
“I can’t say yet. When we get there, everyone will naturally know. Let’s get on the bus first,” Yang Rui said with a smile, ushering everyone onto the bus.
Su Jian Yue and Shen Xun sat in the front row, and the remaining few people also found their own seats on the minibus.
The minibus quickly started moving. Forty minutes later, the speed of the minibus gradually slowed down, and before long, it stopped at a parking lot next to a large courtyard.
Everyone got off the bus and walked towards the large courtyard. Su Jian Yue curiously looked around. This was considered the suburbs of Beijing, and the place was quite remote.
She and Shen Xun walked towards the large courtyard next to them. Su Jian Yue’s gaze moved upwards and happened to see the sign hanging on the gate of the courtyard. It said “Beijing Horror Hospital” in large characters. She didn’t know if it was intentional or not, but the paint on the two characters for “horror” had a bloody feel to it.
Su Jian Yue immediately shrank closer to Shen Xun’s side. “Older Sister, where is this?”
Chen Zhibin also came over at this time. “Whoa, isn’t this that super popular horror hospital on the internet? It’s said that this was really a hospital before. It was later abandoned, and someone contracted it and turned it into a horror park.”
“Huh? Is this that horror park that scares people into the hospital?” Liang Wenjing was already feeling a bit scared just by looking at the mottled walls outside.
“Yeah. This hospital has five floors. Later, because the fifth floor was too scary and had scared several tourists into the hospital, the management ordered the fifth floor to be sealed off. Now, tourists can only play on the first to fourth floors,” Ren Peng also came over to answer. He was a game streamer and naturally played some horror games, so he wasn’t too scared of this.
Seeing that everyone had gotten off the bus, Yang Rui quickly said, “Alright, everyone, follow me in to gather. Our production team has spent a lot of money for you. We’ve booked the entire park for the whole day today, so there will only be our ten guests inside later. There won’t be any other tourists.”
Su Jian Yue was already starting to get scared. Her palms were sweating. Wait, why now of all times? Why did they have to come to this kind of place right after we watched a ghost movie? Sob, sob, sob, are they really not targeting me?
A small ambulance was already parked in the courtyard, and there were also a dozen or so chairs for everyone to rest. In front of the chairs was a row of long tables with snacks, drinks, and mineral water and other supplies on them.
Yang Rui smiled at the group. “Don’t worry, everyone. Our production team has already looked at all the guests’ medical reports before the show. There are no patients with heart disease or high blood pressure among the guests, so everyone’s safety is guaranteed. Of course, just in case, an ambulance is also parked in the courtyard, mainly to prevent any emergencies from happening.”
“Now everyone can sit down. I will explain the rules of today’s game to you,” Yang Rui said, pointing to the chairs over there and gesturing for everyone to sit down first.
Su Jian Yue had been holding onto Shen Xun’s wrist the whole time, not daring to let go. Just by looking at the outside of this hospital, she was already scared. She didn’t know what was going on with the outer walls of the hospital, but many places were covered in green moss, which looked very gloomy.
Seeing that Su Jian Yue was scared, Shen Xun let her keep holding on.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Yang Rui then said, “Originally, this project was scheduled for the next few days. But because you all watched a ghost movie last night, the production team decided to make an adjustment and move this horror project to today. This way, everyone can be more immersed and have a more atmospheric experience.”
“Thank you, but we don’t really want to be too immersed,” Mao Ning said with a wry smile.
“The rules are like this: the production team has placed heartbeat cards on various floors of this hospital. These cards may be hidden in any place. This is random, and you need to find them yourselves. The first group of guests to find ten cards and bring them out will receive a date gift package provided by the production team tomorrow. A day of romantic itinerary will be arranged by the production team, and all expenses will be covered by the production team. As for the others, they can only stay in the Heartbeat House and cook for themselves.”
As Yang Rui spoke, she had the staff bring out a movable TV screen. She clicked on the TV screen, and it started to play tomorrow’s itinerary.
The person who got first place would spend tomorrow’s breakfast and lunch at a rose manor. The two of them could stroll in the manor and taste the special delicacies of the manor.
The afternoon’s itinerary was to mix perfume together. In the evening, they would have a date in a starry sky room. Dinner would be a candlelight dinner prepared by the production team. The winners could enjoy the delicious food while watching the starry sky above their heads.
The screen continued to play. Zhao Qifei exclaimed, “Tomorrow’s itinerary is really not bad. It’s both romantic and interesting. It’s just that today’s mission is really too difficult.”
“Indeed. Ten cards. I’m afraid I’ll want to give up before I even find one,” Chen Zhibin also complained.
Su Jian Yue also wanted to cry. She asked weakly, “Do we just need to go in and find the cards? Will there be NPCs inside to scare us?”
Yang Rui gave Su Jian Yue a friendly smile. “To create an atmosphere for everyone, although there are no other tourists, there are just as many NPCs inside. We guarantee that you will have a full experience.”
Su Jian Yue sniffled. “I don’t really want to experience it that much.”
