There's a third person
Zhu Ning felt her legs sinking deeper and deeper, and pressure coming from all directions was swallowing her up.
The three of them were like rabbits stuck in a swamp, unable to get out.
No wonder those cockroaches stopped attacking after seeing them walking outside the wall. After all, there was a big one outside the wall!
"Do it!" Zhu Ning gritted his teeth and immediately fired downwards.
If you don't use firearms now, you're courting death. The bullets seemed to have hit some flesh, without any banging sounds, and disappeared as soon as they entered.
Xu Meng had already taken action. She pulled out two narrow-backed long swords. At this time, cold weapons were actually more useful than hot weapons.
Xu Meng's body is half-shadowed, like a pool of liquid, minimizing the sense of squeezing.
Zhu Ning only saw a flash of cold light before his eyes, and the feeling of restraint under his feet disappeared, but soon something new was entangled with him.
At most, Xu Meng could get a moment of respite.
Moreover, this action probably really stimulated the pollutants. In an instant, it was like an earthquake. The entire outer side of the building was shaking, and wave-like patterns appeared on the surface of the wall. Zhu Ning was just the poor ant on the waves.
Zhu Ning had just experienced this once, but he didn't expect it to be even more severe this time. The protective suit couldn't completely absorb the force, and he was almost thrown off.
Suddenly, her eyes went dark and she could only feel a figure sliding down quickly.
Zhu Ning was at least a martial artist, but Doctor Fu was just an unlucky guy. With the wall shaking violently, Doctor Fu had lost his grip long ago. He was like food being swallowed into the throat of a giant monster, sliding down uncontrollably.
Doctor Fu felt that the surroundings were extremely crowded and he couldn't find his way around. He could only slide down.
Snap——
Suddenly, his hand was grasped by a huge force. When his body passed by Zhu Ning, Zhu Ning did not dodge, but instead grabbed his hand with one hand and held him tightly.
Doctor Fu felt like most of his body had been strangled, and his chest was being squeezed by a huge force and was about to be crushed.
A terrifying force was pulling him downwards; Zhu Ning's force was extremely small in comparison.
"Let go," said Dr. Fu.
Zhu Ning wanted to roll his eyes. He was talking about some line from an idol drama, hanging on the edge of a cliff and saying, "Let go, don't worry, and leave quickly."
Zhu Ning couldn't withstand the force at all. She pulled Dr. Fu with her left hand, and black mucus came out from the gap in the protective suit, binding Dr. Fu tightly like a vine.
She tied it up very securely, but it was so tight that if Dr. Fu fell, they would both die.
Zhu Ning called out the black slime, wanting it to eat up the place.
But the black mucus was extremely resistant and made its attitude clear: Thank you, I don’t want to eat it.
Zhu Ning: “…”
Still picky about food?
Zhu Ning was dragged down three meters by Doctor Fu, and her arm was almost pulled off. She gritted her teeth and clung to the wall with her right hand.
They were now on the second floor. They definitely couldn't go down, and they couldn't go back either. Zhu Ning opened the system panel.
System prompt: [Do you want to use corrosive potion? ]
【yes. 】
The covered area of her right hand suddenly collapsed. The corrosive potion was effective, but a little slow.
System prompt: [Do you want to use a dentist's drill? ]
【yes. 】
Zhu Ning only needed to use her mind to use the system panel without speaking, but when she was squeezed, she even felt that her thoughts were interrupted and she used it very reluctantly.
The dentist's electric drill rotated rapidly along the corrosion-caused indentation. As expected of the hardest material, it quickly corroded a small hole.
It pierced through, and Zhu Ning clearly felt that it had passed through the wall, and the dentist's electric drill was a little loose for a moment.
But this time it seemed to be very painful. The egg sacs around her began to wriggle violently, and they were about to hatch here.
The baby's head is emerging from the egg sheath, its wet teeth opening.
Zhu Ning felt like a criminal escaping from prison. The jailer was right at the door. She had just dug a thumb-sized hole with a small iron spoon.
She wanted to use the three-dimensional defensive space, but the button was gray, indicating that there was not enough space to open it.
She was almost squeezed to death, and Dr. Fu below was no longer making any sound, so she had no time to care.
Use the Pigman's guillotine, but the big knife has no practical effect on chopping the wall, only leaving a knife mark on the surface.
The metal wasn't recognized, and the dentist's drill quickly failed, requiring her to use it again.
But in this gap, her palm suddenly darkened and a pool of shadow was flowing.
Xu Meng turned herself into a shadow. She was like a ball of black, flowing mochi, crawling out from the narrow cave.
The thumb-sized hole that Zhu Ning had just drilled became a passage for Xu Meng to pass through. Zhu Ning forgot that he only needed to leave her a gap.
This ability is really great.
Zhu Ning gritted his teeth and continued to use the dentist's electric drill, pulling down hard at the same time, trying to make the hole bigger so that Xu Meng could walk faster.
Xu Meng's speed lived up to expectations and he had already passed the outer wall.
Zhu Ning's body was dragged down. If it weren't for the dentist's electric drill holding her up, she would have died long ago.
The wall's vibrations became more obvious, and new cockroach people had indeed hatched from the egg sacs. Unlike the large black cockroach people, the newly hatched cockroach people were pure white, even a little transparent.
The black mucus on Zhu Ning's body was flowing and lingering above his helmet. The cockroach man crawled over quickly.
At the critical moment, this unruly son stopped being picky about food and actually took an attacking stance.
Xu Meng's shadow was getting fainter and fainter, and it looked like he was about to pass through smoothly. Zhu Ning's vision was going dark, and his consciousness was a little unclear.
Her head was buzzing and the system was making a crackling sound. If she lost consciousness, the passive combat mode would be activated.
Once she turns on the passive combat mode, she will most likely use bombs, and everyone except Zhu Ning will probably be blown to death.
Zhu Ning's eyelashes were heavy and her eyelids drooped. Suddenly, she felt something cold on her right hand.
Something wrapped around her protective suit, and the protective suit transmitted the touch sensation to the device. It was obviously cold, but Zhu Ning felt very familiar.
That is Xu Meng's shadow.
A cold shadow wrapped around her hand. Zhu Ning closed her eyes and tried to feel the sensation with her heart. The three-dimensional world became two-dimensional, and her whole body turned into a shadow.
Zhu Ning grabbed Dr. Fu, and before the cockroach man attacked, his vision went dark.
Cough cough cough——
Zhu Ning couldn't help coughing, and at the last moment, he was suddenly able to breathe deeply.
The protective suit automatically supplied oxygen, and fresh oxygen soaked her, and she felt like she was reborn.
Zhu Ning wiped his helmet and found that his protective suit was covered with black, oil-like mucus.
Xu Meng next to her was not in much better condition. She held her knees and gasped for breath. She might have overused her supernatural powers.
Zhu Ning's first reaction was to look at the wall. They had entered the second floor and were now in the corridor on the second floor. There was a thumb-sized hole in the wall of the hotel. They had just come out from here.
God knows what they went through.
Doctor Fu next to him remained motionless. Zhu Ning had no strength left and could only kick him. "Is he dead?"
Doctor Fu didn't respond, and Zhu Ning was shocked. Could he really be dead?
Xu Meng: "He's not dead, his protective suit is lit up."
The protective suit has a life monitoring function, and the death will be marked in red.
Zhu Ning wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but the situation did not allow it. She soon heard a rustling sound, and the cockroach people on the ninth floor were surging down.
Zhu Ning stood up and said, "Take him and go!"
Xu Meng didn't waste any words. She grabbed Doctor Fu. Doctor Fu's eyes were half closed and half open. He probably couldn't recover and his legs were weak.
Xu Meng directly pulled Dr. Fu away. The cockroach man was too fast. This contaminated area started attack mode earlier than other places.
She heard countless footsteps.
The destination was underground. Zhu Ning and Xu Meng ran quickly, but cockroach people had already arrived and spread out from the ceiling, blocking the light and making the entire corridor dark.
Countless black shadows attacked. If the cockroach man’s terror index was one star, the flying cockroach man would be five stars.
A strong sense of oppression came over me.
Bang bang bang!
Zhu Ning fired. She was very accurate and hit the cockroaches in the head with every shot, but shooting cockroaches at this time was too inefficient.
It's like you are surrounded by zombies and you only have a gun in your hand. You are destined to be eaten. What's more, the cockroach man's body can still move after being shot in the head.
"Go!" Zhu Ning gritted his teeth and threw a small bomb.
She had to control her strength and not use weapons that were too heavy, otherwise they would be buried together.
Xu Meng gritted her teeth and walked with Dr. Fu as if she was carrying a sandbag. She didn't even look back and only heard the sound of banging behind her.
Xu Meng's movements were rarely hesitant. Her special ability allowed her to take one person away, but Doctor Fu alone was useless. If Xu Meng were to choose, she would choose to take Zhu Ning away.
"Let's go!" Zhu Ning said as he ran.
Zhu Ning's voice was right behind her. Xu Meng thought that Zhu Ning was the captain this time. She knew that she had to obey the captain's orders unconditionally when going on a mission.
Because it was Zhu Ning's order, she had to move forward even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead.
They had already run to the emergency stairs, which was the way they came.
But they were too reckless. There was an impenetrable stone wall blocking the stairs, and Zhu Ning had to blow up the wall before he could go upstairs.
It now appears that the wall was meant to trap the cockroach people and prevent them from spreading out.
But Zhu Ning had already destroyed his own defense and was unable to build another one in a short period of time.
Xu Meng walked over the stairs. She was now half a shadow. For the first time in her life, running up the stairs felt like she was rolling down the stairs.
Xu Meng was panting and turned around to see Zhu Ning. Her body was covered in the monster's slime and the left side of her protective suit was torn. She was in a very miserable state and was being chased by cockroach people, the closest of which was only half a meter away from her.
Zhu Ning used the rotten fish head's maximum acceleration function, but the fish head couldn't outrun the cockroach, and she was still caught up even when she set the speed to the highest.
Zhu Ning stepped over the hole in the stone wall. It was she who blasted the hole open. It was so easy when she did it, but now she regretted it so much.
Xu Meng looked on with fear.
Zhu Ning's body surpassed the stone wall, and so did a dozen cockroach people.
This line of defense could not stop Xu Meng, and he could not escape. Xu Meng put down Dr. Fu and prepared to fight with Zhu Ning.
Her knife flew out of the air and stabbed fiercely into the head of the cockroach man approaching Zhu Ning.
But it is not enough. Killing just a few of them is not enough, as the main force is still behind.
A large number of cockroach people were about to crawl out of the hole. Time slowed down. There were too many cockroach people. When they gathered together densely, they seemed to form a whole, turned into a big hand, and reached towards Zhu Ning.
Zhu Ning was too close to them, at that moment.
The first thing Xu Meng noticed was actually the sound, a crackling sound—
It was like a high-speed rotating sharp blade piercing through the body, and piercing through a large number of bodies, followed by a crackling sound, which was the sound of pieces of flesh falling to the ground.
Xu Meng didn't react in time. Cold sweat broke out, wetting her eyelashes and stinging her eyes as it flowed into them.
She looked towards the staircase again, only to see a hole in a stone wall where the first and second floors met, now covered in strands of silk threads.
Spider silk.
Zhu Ning spread out the spider silk in the corridor. It was originally transparent, but now it was wet with blood so that people could see clearly. The blood dripped down along the spider silk.
She built a new line of defense.
The cockroach man's attack has inertia and he can no longer retreat, but can only move forward, and then he is cut into countless pieces.
The wall and spider silk are closely connected, forming an efficient machine specifically for strangling cockroaches.
For a while, the hotel was filled with the sound of killing insects.
Zhu Ning constructed the spider silk when he rushed through the corridor, and several cockroach people completely broke through the spider silk's defense line.
Zhu Ning was so exhausted that he couldn't even lift a finger to fight back.
Xu Meng immediately opened fire. She loaded the gun and fired, repeating this action over and over again, killing the cockroach people one by one, not letting any of them get close to Zhu Ning.
It was quiet after three minutes, and all the fish that had escaped the net had been dealt with by Xu Meng.
The other cockroaches were eager to try at the entrance of the cave. They lay near the entrance and looked over with bared teeth.
Zhu Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. She felt like her bones were about to fall apart. She didn't care about anything else and sat down against the wall. Behind her was a pile of cockroach corpses.
This is terrible.
Zhu Ning is not afraid of cockroaches, but a bunch of these things are really scary visually.
Zhu Ning wiped his helmet, the helmet wipers started, and the cleaning process began.
"If you don't know, you would think this is your trophy." Xu Meng's voice rang out.
Zhu Ning looked back. The scene was really weird. If someone took a photo, she would have another title: professional insect exterminator.
"I found a side job." said Zhu Ning.
Assuming this shitty world doesn't end, Zhu Ning can open an insect extermination company after retirement.
Xu Meng stood in front of Zhu Ning and did not express any feelings about the joking words.
They turned off screen sharing and did not record with the camera. The helmet screen had a privacy film, so people outside could not see who was inside.
So even though they were facing each other, they couldn't see each other's expressions.
Inside the helmet, Xu Meng's face was extremely pale. She was covered in cold sweat due to excessive use of her supernatural powers, but she still stood straight, and there was nothing unusual about her appearance.
Xu Meng asked: "Can you use spider-type abilities?"
Zhu Ning: "I just got it. I was doing some private work while you were unconscious."
Zhu Ning also sent a message to Xu Meng, but Xu Meng did not reply in time.
When this was mentioned, Xu Meng was silent for a moment, and his attitude was a little unnatural.
When Zhu Ning saw the cockroach people, she wanted to use spider silk, but she had to construct a space. If there were cockroach people everywhere, she would not be able to use it at all.
It would have been best to walk to the corner of the stairs at that time, because half of the wall was still there, and only enough spider silk was needed to block the hole.
"You just let me go first." Xu Meng said suddenly.
Zhu Ning thought about it before he understood what Xu Meng was talking about. Just now, Zhu Ning used an electric drill to open a hole, and Xu Meng was the first to drill out.
Zhu Ning asked, "What's wrong?"
As Zhu Ning spoke, black mucus on his body covered the wound on his shoulder.
Xu Meng asked, "Aren't you afraid that I won't come back to find you?"
It was very dangerous just now. Zhu Ning let Xu Meng go first, without considering whether Xu Meng would abandon him.
Zhu Ning thought Xu Meng was really weird. "Why should I be afraid?"
Zhu Ning was probably really tired, she had never considered this issue at all.
Xu Meng was silent. She was not used to Zhu Ning's excessive trust. Zhu Ning was the kind of person who would trust someone to the end, even if he had doubts in his heart.
That's why she can cooperate well with Xu Meng. Whoever can go out first will go out first, because the one who goes out first will definitely find a way to come back and rescue them.
This is the tacit understanding that doesn't need to be expressed explicitly.
Xu Meng didn't say anything else, and they fell into a strange silence for a while.
Zhu Ning wanted to ask her what was wrong, but Xu Meng didn't say anything, so she didn't feel comfortable asking. It's normal for adults to have some secrets.
"Ugh—" Doctor Fu finally turned over, and heavy gasping sounds came from his side.
Doctor Fu felt as if all the bones in his body were crushed, and he immediately injected himself with two shots of a powerful healing agent.
He woke up in a daze and saw Zhu Ning sitting there and Xu Meng standing opposite her. He didn't know what they were doing.
But Dr. Fu's attention was soon drawn to the corpse of a cockroach man next to him. The corridor was even more terrifying. The corpses were like a mountain of garbage and were still sliding down.
Now Dr. Fu doesn't even want to vomit anymore, he just wants to die immediately.
"Don't faint from shock." Doctor Fu didn't know where to look. Zhu Ning reminded him, "I finally got you out."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you--" Doctor Fu stuttered.
"Don't thank me." Zhu Ning stood up.
Xu Meng: "How's your injury?"
Zhu Ning was injured and she was not suitable to join the battle immediately.
Zhu Ning felt a tingling in his shoulders whenever he was moving around, and thought that although he didn't know what secret Xu Meng was hiding, at least she cared about him.
Zhu Ning: "This place is not safe. Let's go somewhere else. I guess they will reproduce quickly."
Zhu Ning looked at the corpses on the ground. Some cockroach people had broken through the defense line. Their stomachs were wriggling and they might be about to hatch.
This polluted area is definitely the most troublesome one Zhu Ning has ever been to.
Its reproduction ability is too strong to be prevented at all, and the first floor may be contaminated soon.
Zhu Ning was right. All three of them had witnessed reproduction with their own eyes. They immediately walked towards the hotel lobby.
The hotel door was closed, and the color of the glass door outside was also the color of the polluted area. They originally came in from here. If they opened the door and walked out now, they would probably see a bunch of cockroach eggs.
They split up in the hotel lobby, where is the other team now?
There was still no one in the hotel lobby. The clock showed 4 before, but now it showed 12.
"Do you think it's twelve o'clock in the evening or twelve o'clock in the afternoon?" Zhu Ning asked.
They completely lost the concept of time and could not tell the difference between day and night.
Doctor Fu: "We've been here for eight hours?" He felt like it was only two hours at most.
Xu Meng did not participate in the conversation between the two people. She was looking for clues. She pushed open a door behind the front desk. If there is a door behind the front desk, it is usually for the staff to rest, but this is not necessarily the case in this hotel.
Behind the door is a deep corridor, and no one knows where it leads to.
Xu Meng said, "They're heading this way."
Zhu Ning looked in the direction Xu Meng was going and saw a trail of footprints on the ground. The hotel was covered in dust and the footprints were clearly visible.
Doctor Fu squatted down and took a closer look. "One of the shoes is a bit too big, like a man's foot. It's probably Cao Wei."
Zhu Ning: "Can you tell?"
Doctor Fu: "Those who study medicine always look more."
Zhu Ning's brain was like a computer. She could compare the Cao Wei in her memory with him with her naked eyes, and it was indeed his.
"This is from Chu Ling," Doctor Fu said again.
Zhu Ning was curious: "How did you tell that?"
Doctor Fu's hand was stroking the strokes. "This footprint is narrow, but not short. Chu Ling is 185cm tall and has long feet. Women's feet are naturally narrower."
Zhu Ning nodded, pointed to another one, and asked, "Whose footprint is this?"
The footprint Zhu Ning pointed to looked only a size thirty-four and resembled a woman's foot, right next to Chu Ling's footprint.
Doctor Fu didn't answer. The three of them felt a chill down their spines for a moment. There was actually a third person following them at the time.
