"Hey? Su Cheng, what brings you here?" Liu Yue was the first to notice Su Cheng.
The boy in the baseball cap looked up at the sound of the voice, revealing a face so exquisitely handsome it was hard to tell if he was male or female. He appeared to be around 20-25 years old. His distinctive almond-shaped eyes were particularly striking.
Su Cheng finally understood why he was wearing a baseball cap.
When Su Cheng met his gaze, she smiled politely and sat down in the seat Liu Yue had offered.
Mo Yiyi acted as an intermediary, saying, "She's Su Cheng, our teammate."
His name is Song Yichi.
"Hello." Song Yichi lowered his chin and spoke first.
"Hello."
Su Cheng continued, "Are you exchanging information? I have some new findings about nutritional meals."
"Yes, we exchanged some known information."
Mo Yiyi's eyes lit up slightly, "You've made a new discovery so quickly?!"
Song Yichi paused, his gaze sweeping over the fried pork chop on someone's plate not far away. "Can I trade you information about the nutritional meals for information about the mission?"
"Can."
Su Cheng whispered, "The nutritional meal is actually a purplish-red, unknown chunk of meat that can transform into different foods according to individual preferences."
"Unknown substances may grow in the uterus of female consumers, while unknown substances may grow in the abdominal cavity of male consumers."
"Contestants who survive the massacre after 7 PM and are subsequently captured by monsters will be forced to become hosts for unknown entities."
After Su Cheng finished speaking, she noticed that the other three were staring straight at her, their eyes flickering slightly.
She was a little confused, reviewing what she had just said, and there seemed to be nothing suspicious about it. "What's wrong?"
Mo Yiyi's eyes sparkled, "It's nothing, I just feel so lucky to be on a team with you!"
Su Cheng chuckled and looked at Song Yichi, "Your turn."
Song Yichi didn't mince words either, immediately replying in a low voice, "There are two types of dungeon quests: one is a main quest that is outside the dungeon, and the other is a random quest."
"Random tasks are triggered only once. Simply put, once one person triggers a random task, a second person cannot trigger it again."
"Main quests can be completed by multiple players. The completion rate of both types of quests affects your ranking in the competitive matches."
Su Cheng nodded, signaling Song Yichi to continue, but found that he had shut his mouth.
That's it?
Seemingly sensing Su Cheng's slight surprise, Song Yichi paused, realizing his information couldn't compare to hers in terms of comprehensiveness. He added, "I'll let you know if I make any further discoveries."
Mo Yiyi whispered in Su Cheng's ear, "We just shared another piece of information with him: leaving the inpatient department requires a proper reason. If the medical staff discovers that he has sneaked out, it will trigger the murder mechanism or he will be locked in a dark room."
Song Yichi the table lightly, looked into Su Cheng's dark brown eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Want to team up? My ability is Perception."
Su Cheng did not answer immediately.
Liu Yue leaned closer to Su Cheng's other ear, "This guy surnamed Song seems reliable enough. We encountered a contestant before who gave us false information. Yi Yi and I almost had to eat the nutritional meals because he reminded us."
Mo Yiyi: "He's in the surgical ward, so it's not very convenient for him to come down every time we need to communicate. I'll remain neutral and I'll listen to you."
Liu Yue was inclined to agree to Song Yichi joining, while Mo Yiyi remained neutral.
The two of them would wait and see what Su Cheng thought.
The three girls huddled together whispering. Song Yichi vaguely heard his own surname, and his fingertips paused slightly.
When he first came to the cafeteria, he didn't intend to team up with Mo Yiyi; simply sharing information would be enough.
Upon meeting Su Cheng, Song Yichi abruptly changed his mind.
He sensed no worry from Su Cheng; in such a dangerous situation, she was remarkably calm.
Only those with great strength can be so calm and composed.
Song Yichi trusted his intuition and immediately had the idea of forming a team; no one would not want a good teammate.
Su Cheng pondered for a few seconds. Based on what Liu Yue said, Song Yichi was able to offer a reminder, which showed that he wasn't the type to take advantage of others.
And he seems like someone with brains.
She finally nodded, "Okay."
Forming a team means that information will continue to be shared, and special events can be dealt with as a group.
Su Cheng asked, "Do you know if any of the participants in this instance have medical knowledge?"
Mo Yiyi and Liu Yue were about to shake their heads when Song Yichi spoke up, "Me."
Mo Yiyi looked at her with suspicion. "Isn't your ability Perception?"
Song Yichi slightly raised his phoenix eyes. "My abilities and my knowledge of medicine are not contradictory."
Su Cheng: "Since you know, then come out with me for a bit."
"Good."
Su Cheng led them out of the cafeteria and immediately spotted Yan Yu waiting by the elevator.
"They're out so quickly?" Yan Yu's gaze fell on the three people behind Su Cheng.
After Su Cheng gave a brief introduction to both sides, she asked Yan Yu to take out the ultrasound report from her pocket and hand it to Song Yichi along with Li Li's report.
Can you understand it?
Song Yichi accepted it with some surprise. It was only the second day of the dungeon, and Su Cheng seemed to have more information than he had imagined.
As he carefully examined the two reports, his brow furrowed slightly, and he pointed uncertainly at Li Li's report:
"The placenta has grown too much, and the fetus even has a heartbeat..."
He then looked at Yan Yu's report, "No fetus, only placental hyperplasia... and the placenta shows signs of life?"
Song Yichi's gaze darkened slightly, and his tone was certain. "You said before that eating the nutritional meals would cause things to grow in your stomach, and that's what these placentas are."
Su Cheng looked at Yan Yu's slightly protruding belly and never expected it to be the placenta.
What do hospitals need a pregnant woman's placenta for?
Su Cheng felt that she had vaguely grasped the key to the hospital instance.
Yan Yu suddenly spoke up, "Can you operate and remove what's inside my stomach?"
She felt her belly getting bigger again; it was rapidly absorbing nutrients and growing.
Yan Yu didn't want to carry her big belly, and she was also worried that if she couldn't get rid of it soon, it would burst out of her abdomen after filling the entire abdominal cavity.
Su Cheng also looked at Song Yichi with the same question. Now that they knew what was in Yan Yu's belly, it was naturally better to get it out as soon as possible.
Song Yichi looked at Yan Yu's abdomen, pondered for a moment, and then his eyes narrowed slightly. "This placenta has only recently formed. If it's just a procedure similar to a D&C, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Yan Yu's eyes brightened slightly, but she quickly frowned again. Although she was in the hospital, this was a strange and bizarre alternate world.
A dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure does not require an abdominal incision and is less risky than an abdominal surgery, but it is not zero risk.
Song Yichi continued, "And I know where there are suitable venues and equipment."
A look of inquiry flickered in Su Cheng's eyes. Was he being a little too forward?
Song Yichi's next words made Su Cheng understand the reason.
"The right place is the clinic on the first floor. There's something strange about the clinic, and I have a mission to go there."
A note from the author:

Chapter 61
"So, are you coming with me?"
No wonder Song Yichi so enthusiastic; he wanted Su Cheng and the others to help him complete the task.
Yan Yu and Su Cheng exchanged a glance. "Go."
Su Cheng wanted to know why the hospital wanted the placenta; Yan Yu needed to resolve the foreign object; Song Yichi was doing it to complete a mission.
Although they each have their own purposes, they are heading in the same direction.
After considering it, Mo Yiyi and Liu Yue decided not to go to the clinic together. They preferred to look for clues that would trigger random tasks.
The outpatient clinic was located in Section C on the first floor. The three of them briefly shared their skills in the elevator.
After the elevator doors opened, I quickly walked through the lobby without looking to the side.
"The consultation room felt strange to me, so I didn't dare go in. The things I was looking for, along with the surgical instruments, were in the operating room behind the consultation room."
"Either distract the doctor, or deal with her discreetly," Song Yichi continued. "The hospital is a combined medical and nursing facility. If a contestant attacks one of them and is discovered, it will incur the hatred of all the monsters, and that hatred cannot be eliminated."
Su Cheng: "Both of the methods you mentioned depend on the situation. We don't know the monster's abilities or situation right now."
Yan Yu: "Then let's agree on a hand signal; fists mean 'start fighting.'"
Teamwork is all about teamwork and quick reflexes. Su Cheng and Yan Yu were fine, but Su Cheng and Yan Yu weren't very familiar with Song Yichi.
The three walked to the white consultation room and quickly agreed: they would start the fight if the situation was right, but would try to avoid causing a big commotion.
The doctor's information was hanging on the door of the examination room:
Li Shu, attending physician in gynecology, is currently seeing patients.
Yan Yu was the first to step forward and knock on the door.
Her name suddenly appeared on the call button next to the door, and a mechanical female voice sounded:
" Yan Yu, please go to consultation room number 2! Yan Yu, please go to consultation room number 2!"
The queue number display showed Yan Yu's name followed by Su Cheng's. Only Song Yichi, clearly a male, was not listed in the queue.
"Clatter"
The door was ajar, and through the crack, one could glimpse the darkness inside.
The call button kept calling Yan Yu's name, clearly indicating that she was to be allowed to enter alone.
Yan Yu put his hands in his pockets, staring at the crack in the door, ready to pull out a weapon from his Smart Bag at any moment.
Song Yichi frowned. "I should be able to go in as a family member accompanying someone."
Su Cheng shook her head, stepped forward, pushed open the door, and said firmly, "Let's go in together!"
The moment the door was pushed open and the three entered the consultation room, the overhead lights suddenly turned on.
The door behind me closed and locked automatically.
The consultation room was clean and tidy, but the air was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant.
There weren't many items in the room; the only noticeable thing was the cabinet on the side of the wall.
A thick, dark red curtain covers the cabinet surface, while the exposed corners indicate that it is made of glass.
Doctor Li sat at the examination table, staring at the computer screen without looking up, and tapped the desktop lightly with displeasure. " Yan Yu, come here. Everyone else, wait outside!"
She was looking at the computer the whole time, but she knew that more than one person had come in.
