Chapter 011 Meet
“...... After running away, I led the half-cut monster away. What happened to you? How did you become like this?
After appeasing Feng Xiaoxi's mood, Lin Xiao finally found an opportunity and asked.
Feng Xiaoxi recalled for a moment and said:
"After you led the monster away, Xu Le and I planned to gather at the agreed place first. However, no matter what, I can't find the stairway. We had to keep walking. Later, we met the mysterious old man and chased him. We finally came to the fourth floor. Then the old man disappeared. We had no idea and planned to wait for you at the top of the stairs.
"But within a few minutes, a monster like the Bull Demon King in the Journey to the West broke through the wall and attacked Xu Le without saying a word. That monster is very powerful. We are not opponents. We can only fight and escape. We will be separated while running..."
Speaking of this, Feng Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment and said:
"Then I met you, um, that's it."
Feng Xiaoxi said it simply, but Lin Xiao could hear the tragic taste in it. This can be seen from the wound on Feng Xiaoxi's body. Moreover, Lin Xiao was not a fool. Naturally, he saw Feng Xiaoxi's hesitation to conceal it, but in the end, he didn't mention it again. He just nodded and said:
"My experience is similar to yours. I have been chased by many monsters. I finally came to the fourth floor. In less than two minutes, I met you... Save you from the monster again. Is this the so-called fate destined by heaven? Haha."
In a word, Feng Xiaoxi's face turned pale again.
Fate... Feng Xiaoxi bit her lip and said silently.
Lin Xiao shook his head and just said:
"I have dealt with the injury, so I don't have to worry too much for the time being. Now Xu Le doesn't know if he is still being chased by monsters. We don't have time to stay too long..."
The two walked on the dark fourth floor, still with Lin Xiao in front and the wind in the back. Both of them were silent along the way, and the invisible diaphragm gradually formed.
The atmosphere was very quiet and weird. Strangely, there were no more strange bodies along the way. The two also successfully found the stairs to the third floor five minutes later.
"Well, I can't determine Xu Le's location now, and I haven't seen any marks along the way. There seems to be some kind of power that can smooth out the marks made... Let's go to the third floor. Maybe I will meet Xu Le and others there.
Here, loneliness and death are the biggest killers. As for all kinds of strange monsters in the dark, they are still within a completely acceptable range for well-informed adventurers.
......
Dark floor, third floor.
The stairs leading to the second floor are still blocked by the red brick bean curd project, and there is the sound of water dripping overhead.
The two turned to the third floor, which was still the same gray and dilapidated building, and every foot could splash a thick layer of floating dust. In addition, the temperature in the air has increased a lot again, almost to the point of a hot summer.
There are no footprints on the ground and no artificial marks around. The two could only find a direction at will and walk slowly.
At the corner of a corridor, the two found a body, half buried by sand and dust, with a wide mouth and a dry and wrinkled body.
The clothes should be a security guard, but the appearance can no longer be distinguished. However, two words "Collin" can be faintly seen on the nameplate hanging on the chest.
This body is no better than that of travelers who usually die in the desert. Most of them are buried by yellow sand, and their skin shrinks severely, just like air-dried ducks.
In fact, the existence of this dark floor is worth thinking about. Some people speculate that this is a fantasy, a fantasy with a little girl or father as the protagonist. Maybe all of us are living in a dream now... However, the yellow sand here is difficult to explain. The security guard is not a mud and tile craftsman, and there is no need for construction works here. How can there be such a lot of yellow sand? Is it a coincidence, intentional, or does it represent some special meaning?
Lin Xiao squatted down with great interest and pulled the security guard who had turned into a mummified corpse out of the sand. While checking, he said:
"The dehydration is serious, the body has been dried, and the net weight is 28 kg... There are no obvious fatal scars on the body, and the death of violent instruments can be basically ruled out. The expression can't be seen clearly, but the mouth is wide open, presumed to be despair and fear... There is black ashes in the nostrils..."
"Well, I have to admit that this is a very strange body." Lin Xiao wiped his hands and said, "After collecting the basic information, let's go."
The two walked forward again. Before long, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps and the sound of wheelchair rolling on the ground.
“...... What a coincidence?" Lin Xiao and Feng Xiaoxi looked at each other and quickly caught up.
In this hospital, monsters naturally do not need to use wheelchairs. Among the living people in need, there is only Sarah, a seriously ill daughter.
Sure enough, Lin Xiao followed the voice to find the protagonist's father and daughter.
Black security guards, beautiful nurses, and mysterious old men are no longer there, but Lin Xiao actually found Xu Le in it. The most surprising thing is that compared with other people's scars, the protagonist's father and daughter are almost "spotless".
Xu Le also saw Lin Xiao and Feng Xiaoxi, and immediately shouted in surprise, " boss, run, there are monsters behind!"
At this time, the big guy also knows something about the monsters in the dark floor. First of all, hunting, all kinds of cramps, all kinds of uniqueness, doing their best to challenge everyone's nerves.
In addition, it is an immortal body, which can't be shot, and oil and salt can't enter. When you meet it, you can only avoid it, and you have to be chased by monsters like a bereaved dog.
Fortunately, this kind of monster is not fast. As long as you don't have to fight for a young man, you can always get rid of the monster's pursuit for a period of time.
In this dark floor, pursuit and escape have become an eternal theme. Every once in a while, you can always see a strange corpse monster, which makes people have no time to rest.
"Roar~~"
A two-meter-tall, hairy monster strode from the darkness, and the ground trembled gently wherever it passed. It should be the monster that killed Xu Le and others.
Seeing this "strong and powerful" big man, Lin Xiao pulled up the wind and turned his head and ran away without saying anything.
ran for nearly three minutes before finally getting rid of the monster. A group of people hid around the corner and gasped.
"How did you meet each other?" Lin Xiao asked.
Xu Le also looked depressed and replied, "After being chased and scattered by the half-cut monster, Feng Xiaoxi and I met the monster again and had no choice but to separate again. Then not long after, I saw the mysterious old man, found the stairs leading to the third floor, made a mark, was chased by the monster, and then ran away... I met Jack and the others. Then he was chased and killed until he met you.
This is really depressing. No matter where you are, you can always encounter monster snipers. It seems that escape has become a commonplace.
Lin Xiao nodded, looked at the other four people, and asked, "Where are the security guards and nurses? They..."
"They are dead." Jack smiled bitterly and said, "The space here seems to be distorted. After walking for a long time, I can't find the stairs. On the way, I have encountered several elevators, but no one dares to sit... Along the way, we met many monsters. The security guard was cut off by a monster, and the nurse was also cut off her legs by the translucent ghost, and then killed by other monsters... Sorry, we have tried our best."
"May their souls rest in heaven." Lin Xiao sighed and then aimed her eyes at the father and daughter.
The father and daughter are worthy of being the protagonists of the plot. They met so many monsters along the way. Ordinary people such as security guards, businessmen and nurses died quickly one after another. Even Jack and the cold female adventurer were seriously injured. However, the father and daughter are still "in intact" and have not suffered any injuries except for their pale faces.
That is to say, so far, except for the mysterious old man who did not know the life and death, all the others have died, and now they are still with the protagonist's father and daughter, leaving only the adventurer side.
Jack also understood Lin Xiao's eyes, but shook his head and sighed pretentiously:
"The dead are gone, may the deceased rest in peace. But we living people still need to find a way, don't we? I'm still young, just graduated, and there are a lot of beautiful women waiting for me to enjoy, Gaga.
It's a very good joke, but unfortunately no one can laugh at all in this situation. After a while, a dark crawler hung upside down on the wall, wearing a long green skirt and climbing with twisted limbs.
Everyone's faces changed and they looked at each other. They had no choice but to start another escape journey.
