Supreme Master In The Apocalypse-Chapter 96 12th Floor

A few days had passed and Hugo's body slowly recovered. He has received countless offers from network stations on Lunaria, but he rejected them all.

All of them wanted to interview him and what he remembered that night. Knowing that it would just put his family in a much tight situation, he decided that he wouldn't do any of it.

Based on her mother, Julius has been actively contacting his family as well. He just stayed quiet regarding that topic.

He already had an idea why Julius was approaching them. It must be because his name was a topic to different people now that if they tried to get closer to his family then they could have an advantage. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

Just like a good public opinion.

If they knew that Julius has been supporting and helping his family in the past, the public will commend him, saying that he was such a good person for lending a hand to us.

Hugo was alone in his room. He will get discharged tomorrow morning and was just reminded that he should rest in his room for days before he continued his school.

He had informed Headmaster Leon about his withdrawal from the Lunaria's feast. Fortunately, Headmaster Leon understood well what he went through. Thankfully, he wasn't just like Julius and President Damien. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

'Should I walk around for a moment? I had been lying down these past few days that I didn't get to walk around this hospital.' Hugo looked at the time on the clock that was hung up on the wall.

"It will take my mother 1 hour more before she comes back."

Since Hailey was already fine, he got discharged 3 days ago and was now attending her school. Since Hailey's class dismissal time will be in 1 hour, that means it would take them more than that to come back here.

Standing up, Hugo didn't forget to get the keycard to access the door in case it got locked. He walked out and started walking around as if he was touring the hospital. He greeted some doctors who have been passing by.

Hugo decided to go upstairs to find out what was there. He immediately looked around when he saw that the floor was different than where his room was.

There was minimal room on the 12th floor. Even the middle where nurses usually spend their time if they were vacant was empty.

"What is this?" His forehead creased. 'I can at most stop the time for a couple of minutes if something happened.' he readied himself. Although that was just a backup plan and he didn't really want to do it, now that he was just recently gotten well.

The floor almost looked like it was abandoned. It was dark and gloomy.

When Hugo heard some footsteps on the side, he quickly tried to look for something to hide on. When he found a nearby table, he decided to hide behind it when he felt the footsteps getting louder.

That only means that they were near him already.

"Patient XIV has been showing signs just as what the head said." A man's voice sounded out as they walked near to where Hugo was currently hiding.

"Are we going to keep injecting the liquid into their body?" Another man asked.

"Yes. We are getting a large sum of money here so it's worth it." Happiness could be heard in the first man's voice as he say it. "Well, that is technically right. We should go down already and leave the three patients alone here."

"Are you sure that no one will go here?" The second man problematically questioned.

"This is a restricted area and only we could enter, so don't worry. We should have a feast first now that we have gotten our salary!"

"Alright! But let's be back before they arrived."

When Hugo heard the voice dying down, he went out of his hiding spot. "Restricted area?" He looked around to see where was the room of the mentioned patients. 'They must be in there,' his forehead creased when he saw that it was at the very bottom.

"And who are 'they'?"

There were a lot of questions starting to form in his head. But what he needed to do first was to see the patients. And the symptoms that those two were portraying earlier.

Hugo carefully walked towards the three rooms at the very far end. A he get closer to them, the area became darker as it has a few windows.

'This looks more of a prison than a hospital floor…' he tilted his head to the side. He looked around to see whether there was someone guiding them but he saw no one.

"Having no workers or even guards here is quite weird." he pointed out. When he reached the very first door, he saw from the glass window that there was a woman sleeping on the bed.

She seems peaceful but Hugo knew better. The woman's under eyes were very dark as if she hasn't been sleeping properly for the past few days. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were pure white with a number tag on the side.

"XVI… that means that is not her" he took a deep sigh. The second room was the same as the room in number one. However, the difference was it was a man. He was sleeping as well, but there was something different about him.

There were a few wounds on the man's arms as if he was scratching his skin too much.

"What is happening here?" Hugo's heart sank, looking at both of them.

It was as if they were living in an isolated place. He could see that there was only a small bathroom on the side. The room was just filled with basic things. There was only a bed, a table, and a chair.

"How can they live here with just these?" he curiously asked himself.

Moving to the third room was what shocked him the most. His heart leaped when he saw it.
