I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 1214: Chapter 1213: Uncontrollable Sorrow

”What happened?” Fu Xuan Ge asked with a frown.

The 少年’s face was pale, his hands clenched yet still trembling uncontrollably. He closed his eyes for a moment and said, ”The other group was attacked too. The losses were devastating...”

With that, the others knew what had happened, and their hearts grew unbearably heavy.

Led by Luo Yirui, they walked out through that door, passed through the stairwell, and entered the building. Because the stairwell and the elevator lobby were connected, they had to go through the elevator lobby to get inside.

So the first thing they saw were their companions’ corpses!

The elevator doors were wide open, blocked by several 少年’s bodies lying across the threshold so they couldn’t close. The floor was covered in fresh blood, scattered severed limbs strewn all around. The gruesome sight made the 少年们 who entered start vomiting one after another.

When Little Fatty saw this scene, he couldn’t hold back his tears; part of it was fear, part of it was sorrow.

The scouting 少年 lowered his gaze. He had already thrown up, and he had already cried. He had gone scouting with tears in his eyes; at the time he had even thought that if he ran into any Vertical Pupil, he would just rush up and fight them to the death!

Fu Xuan Ge’s face was deathly pale. He had never seen anything like this either. Both elevators were packed with corpses, and the walls and floor were completely covered in blood...

He forced himself to suppress the churning in his stomach and closed his eyes.

Luo Yirui pressed his lips tightly together. He had seen scenes even more gruesome than this, but back then there had been no bodies, and he hadn’t known those people. Yet now, clearly, just over an hour ago these had all been living, breathing lives, and now they lay mutilated in pools of blood.

He didn’t feel like throwing up; he only felt a sour sting in his nose. He knew that his face right now must look just as awful as everyone else’s.

Luo Yirui forced himself to lift his feet and walk toward those bodies. Hands trembling, he counted the dead 少年 one by one—nine in total!

Nine living, breathing lives would remain here forever.

”Five made it out,” Luo Yirui said in a low voice.

The 少年 who had bid him farewell was not among these bodies. He had escaped from here; where he was now, no one knew.

Fu Xuan Ge’s mood was just as heavy. ”We should go.”

There was nothing they could do. They couldn’t even hope to bury these 少年.

Soft sobs rose up; the 少年们 could not suppress their grief any longer. They had once killed Vertical Pupil together—these counted as their comrades.

Luo Yirui turned back to glance at them. ”Let’s go.”

Little Fatty scrubbed his tears hard and followed at Luo Yirui’s side. If he saw those Vertical Pupil again, as long as there was a chance to fight, he would definitely beat them to death!

The other 少年 also followed behind.

”Once we’re out of the elevator lobby, no more crying. The sound will draw Vertical Pupil. Right now what matters most is getting out of here.” Luo Yirui looked at everyone calmly, his tone steady.

Seeing Luo Yirui’s reddened eyes, the 少年们 knew he was just as grief-stricken, yet that composed voice made them instinctively trust him. They all wiped their tears and forced themselves to fall silent.

Luo Yirui pushed open the door of the elevator lobby and walked out. The road under their feet was still difficult. They had yet to escape danger; this was no time to be consumed by sorrow.

No one knew where the Vertical Pupil had disappeared to. On the way here, Luo Yirui and the others hadn’t encountered any more of them. Black Coal Ball stayed at the very front; its coordination with Luo Yirui was excellent. Sometimes its tail could convey many signals, signals only Luo Yirui could understand.

The group finally reached the location of the Sky Bridge.
