Chapter 230 The Saw in the Operating Room
With a "ding," the elevator doors leading to the second basement level opened.
Cao Lu squinted and peeked out, and what came into view was a scene completely different from the second basement level.
This is a dilapidated and decaying ship cabin.
The overhead light bulbs flickered on and off, and the room was cold and damp.
The iron filings and rust pieces constantly falling from the walls tell the story of the ship's long history.
The second basement level, so different from the luxurious decor of the Noah, felt like a completely separate space!
Ghost Ship!
Only now did Cao Lu recall the true name of this Yellow Springs instance.
Ivy and her men stopped at the top of the stairs, facing a heavy, rusty iron gate. A few seconds later, the gate was opened from the inside. Jiang Lin finally saw the voluptuous, short-haired woman with the red nameplate that Jiang Yu had described.
However, this woman was actually wearing a white protective suit, and even had a gas mask on her face.
This attire inevitably arouses suspicion.
The woman looked shocked when she saw that three humans had been delivered this time: "What great luck!"
"Louise, it's all yours now." Ivy patted the woman's shoulder, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
Louise nodded, raised her hand, and the personnel behind her, who were also wearing full protective gear, took over the three people who were pretending to be unconscious: Jiang Lin, Cao Lu, and Lu Xiaoxiao.
After Ivy turned and left, Louise led the three of them through the gate.
Cao Lu glanced around out of the corner of his eye; it was a fairly spacious passage. After everyone had entered, the exit gate at the front of the passage didn't open, but the gate at the back suddenly closed!
Just as Cao Lu was puzzled, a large amount of green gas began to emerge from the ventilation vent above his head!
Cao Lu sensed danger and, abandoning his pretense of sleep, threw the ordinary waiter who was holding him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
"Run, little one!"
Lu Xiaoxiao quickly covered her mouth and nose and struggled to break free from the waiter's control. Cao Lu rushed towards the gate, only to find Louise standing right there at the gate, her hourglass figure as firm as a small mountain.
Louise smiled disdainfully beneath her gas mask.
Without a second thought, Cao Lu held his breath and threw a punch at the woman. The next second, however, his powerful punch was caught by her chubby fingers.
Cao Lu was horrified and tried to pull back, but his right hand was irresistibly twisted by the powerful force from the other party's fingertips!
With a cracking sound, Cao Lu's wrist bone broke, and he let out a painful scream!
"Why are these four-legged insects so disobedient?" Louise said disdainfully, throwing Cao Lu on the ground.
"Cao Lu!" Lu Xiaoxiao wanted to shout and rush forward, but after taking only two steps, her legs gave way and she fell to the ground like a limp shrimp.
"Little!"
Cao Lu's face turned deathly pale as he crawled toward Lu Xiaoxiao to stand in front of the short-haired girl, but after only a few breaths, his strength quickly dissipated.
The green poison gas was insidious, an unknown biochemical toxin. Although Cao Lu managed to keep his mind clear, he couldn't even lift a finger. Having lost control of his body, he collapsed to the ground. He could only barely keep his eyelids open as he watched Louise order people to lift them up one by one.
Jiang Lin didn't move an inch from beginning to end. From the moment he noticed Louise wearing a gas mask, he guessed at the potential danger. Cao Lu and Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't hold their breath for long, but Jiang Lin could. With his physical condition, he wouldn't die even in ten minutes, so he could just watch the show quietly.
The three were led into a dimly lit room by personnel in protective suits and placed on three cold, damp iron tables.
"Click!" Louise turned on the light switch.
The lights above each of the three people's heads were turned on with a buzzing sound.
The light was blinding, and Cao Lu instinctively wanted to raise his hand to shield his eyes, but he couldn't move and could only close them. However, the darkness behind his closed eyes made him even more panicked. Finally, he forced his bloodshot eyes open, resisting the bright light above him, and moved his eyeballs to observe his surroundings.
Cao Lu was unsure of where he was in the ship's cabin, surrounded by rusty steel walls.
Beside the iron table was a slender, upright steel pillar with several hooks at its top, and some old, unidentified mechanical utensils nearby.
It wasn't until Louise's men hung two glass bottles filled with blue liquid on the iron hooks that Cao Lu, looking at the dangling syringes, realized that he wasn't lying on a table, but on an operating table!
This looks like an operating room from the last century, during wartime! Why would there be such a strange place on the second basement level of the Noah? Cao Lu felt increasingly uneasy.
There is currently no information available regarding the second phase.
The siren captures people, injects them with blue blood, and then releases them. Therefore, Jiang Yu deduces that the so-called second stage does not pose a fatal danger.
Of course, this isn't 100% certain, Jiang Yu isn't a god, and Cao Lu is aware of the dangers of this operation. But without going down to investigate, how can they obtain more accurate information about the instance?
This is the Yellow Springs instance, and as Jiang Yu told Ji Ran, this is not an instance that can be easily bypassed.
It wasn't that he wanted to take the risk, but that he had no choice but to.
Louise took off her protective suit and put on a white lab coat. Although she was a bit plump, her features were not ugly, and she had a bright smile, radiating an aura of inexplicable happiness.
Cao Lu's eye-rolling motion caught Louise's attention.
Louise stopped in front of the iron table where Cao Lu was sitting, and poked Cao Lu's cheek with her chubby finger: "Little reptile, let's start with you~"
The seemingly casual words felt like a sharp sword hanging over Cao Lu's ears. Sweat streamed down Cao Lu's forehead, and a chill seeped into his back from the cold metal tabletop.
Cao Lu tried to roll his eyes to the corners of his eyes, his gaze following Louise as she turned and walked towards the corner of the wall.
There were many old tools there, such as hammers, crowbars, saws, and planes—carpenter's tools.
What is this woman trying to do?
Cao Lu's heart was beating faster and faster, and when he saw Louise pick up the saw from a pile of broken tools, his heart rate reached its peak!
Why a saw? Cao Lu's pupils widened, and sweat poured down his face, soaking his clothes like a stream.
As Louise approached step by step, the mottled bloodstains on the saw were clearly exposed to the view.
Louise raised the rusty saw in front of Cao Lu, and her assistant tactfully handed her a gray rag that was barely clean.
Louise took the rag and began wiping Cao Lu's body.
"Tick!"
A drop of liquid fell onto Cao Lu's nose as the cloth wiped the area. Cao Lu strained to look at the tip of his nose.
This is a drop of brown, rusty water mixed with blood.
This saw was used not long ago?
The question had barely crossed Cao Lu's mind when he was bombarded by another one.
What can a saw do?
Having surgery? Why didn't she go get the scalpel?
Cao Lu opened his mouth a crack, trying to make a sound, but only managed to exhale a whooshing sound.
Seeing this, Louise pinched the boy's nose as if teasing a pet, and smiled, "It'll be ready soon!"
