Chapter 10: Fight in the Elevator
Chen Qianxing glanced at Yang Lei, who was being forcibly held by several people. He took a deep breath and decided to ignore this unreasonable man. He continued to explain his plan to the others:
"Back to the topic just now, as long as we can kill the zombies in the corridor as quickly as possible and escape to the elevator, we can take the elevator directly to the parking lot on the underground floor and then take a bus directly to the nearest supermarket."
Some people wondered: "Where did the car come from?"
Chen Qianxing smiled and said, "I asked around, and four of us have cars parked in the underground parking lot. As long as we can get there smoothly, we'll be successful."
"No matter if you are young or old, male or female, as long as you want to fight for your own life, you can follow me. I will do my best to help you escape."
As soon as these words were spoken, many of the hesitant people in the room seemed to be encouraged and raised their hands firmly.
Seeing that most people in the room were willing to go with him, Chen Qianxing couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "Those who are willing to go with me, pack up and find some self-defense items. We'll set off soon."
After saying that, he ignored Yang Lei's dark face, walked to the corner and started packing his things.
After Luo Yu returned to the master bedroom, another middle-aged woman who lived with them couldn't help but ask Luo Yu: "Are you really leaving?"
Luo Yu nodded.
The middle-aged woman held her hand and said, "There are monsters everywhere outside. What if we die out there? Are you really not going to wait any longer?"
Luo Yu did not stop moving: "No one will come to save us. Staying here is definitely a dead end. I have to go."
She didn't bring anything with her when she fled here, but she packed up in a few minutes and prepared to go to the living room to check the situation.
However, when I arrived at the living room, I found that almost everyone was gathered at the door, each with a look of shock on their face.
"W-What's going on?"
"Zombies...why are they all dead?"
All dead? What does that mean?
Luo Yu also leaned over to watch in confusion, and saw what was happening outside through the crack in the door.
The corridor was filled with a foul smell of decay, and dozens of zombies were lying on the ground motionless, looking indeed dead.
When Luo Yu wanted to take a closer look, he was pushed away and almost fell to the ground.
She looked back and saw the tall and strong Yang Lei taking her place.
Chen Qianxing stood outside the crowd, frowning in confusion.
The number of zombies on the street downstairs showed no sign of decreasing, but all the zombies in the corridor on the 25th floor died inexplicably.
Who did it?
No, that's impossible. Killing so many zombies would definitely make a lot of noise.
But for so many days, he didn't hear any unusual sounds outside the door.
But no matter what the reason is, not having to fight zombies head-on is simply great news for him.
However, before Chen Qianxing could discuss with the others, Yang Lei had already stood up excitedly:
"Brothers, all the zombies outside are dead, we can leave this damn place now! Everyone grab your weapons and follow me!"
Chen Qianxing was stunned and immediately stopped him: "Wait, we are not sure what the situation is in other places!"
Yang Lei ignored Chen Qianxing, picked up his machete and rushed out.
Seeing this, the others also hurriedly followed Yang Lei and ran out, and Chen Qianxing couldn't stop them.
Luo Yu hesitated for a moment. The middle-aged woman who had been hesitant just now was now even more anxious than she was. She grabbed her arm and ran out: "What are you still standing there for? Everyone is leaving. Let's go!"
Luo Yu gritted his teeth and pulled Luo Yiyi towards the elevator.
Seeing that those who were not originally planning to leave had already left, Chen Qianxing had no choice but to follow.
There are three elevators in the hotel's elevator hall, but the other two seem to have malfunctioned, and now only one is still functioning normally.
At least there was still one left. Yang Lei couldn't wait to press the down button and waited excitedly for the elevator to reach the 25th floor.
Chen Qianxing did not go directly to the elevator hall, but went to the stairs to observe the situation first.
The growls of zombies were heard from downstairs.
Sure enough, only the zombies on the 25th floor died.
It seems that the corridor is not absolutely safe. If they are not careful, they will attract the zombies downstairs.
When Chen Qianxing returned to the elevator hall, the only elevator in operation had just arrived at the 25th floor. After the elevator door opened, everyone rushed in.
Chen Qianxing didn't dare to speak too loudly, so he could only lower his voice and constantly remind everyone: "Don't push, don't push!"
However, when nearly twenty of them finally squeezed into the elevator, the elevator alarm sounded, indicating that it was overloaded.
Everyone looked at each other.
Someone in the crowd spoke impatiently:
"A few of you should go out and take the next elevator, otherwise no one will be able to leave."
Yet no one moved.
Everyone knew what was going on. They said they would take the next elevator, but when they really got to the underground parking lot, they would definitely not risk waiting for those who came down on the second elevator.
Yang Lei, who was standing at the innermost part of the elevator, looked at Li Guofeng. Li Guofeng immediately understood and said, "Chen Qianxing, how about you take a few people and wait for the next batch?"
Everyone looked at Chen Qianxing with pleading eyes.
Chen Qianxing hesitated for a moment, took a step back, and exited the elevator.
But the elevator still prompts that it is overweight.
Li Guofeng couldn't help but urge: "Don't waste time, hurry up and get out. You can take the second elevator in this time!"
Everyone lowered their heads and kept silent, as if that would prevent them from being seen.
Yang Lei narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Luo Yu and Luo Yiyi in the corner with ill intent:
"Chen Qianxing, weren't you protecting your 'wife and children' just now? How can you be at ease letting them follow me?"
Luo Yu's face froze.
Yang Lei didn't say it was her, but everyone here was staring at her.
She gritted her teeth and took a few steps back. "I...I can go out. Just let Yi Yi go with you."
Luo Yiyi was about to speak when she suddenly felt someone pushing her from behind, and she was forcibly pushed out of the elevator.
Just at this moment, the elevator no longer prompted that it was overweight, and the door began to close slowly.
Luo Yu reacted and grabbed the elevator door in fear: "No! Don't do this, please take Yi Yi with you!"
Li Guofeng snorted and pried her fingers apart one by one with force. In Luo Yu's desperate eyes, the elevator door finally closed with a click and began to descend.
The 25th floor suddenly became quiet again.
Luo Yu's hands trembled slightly. With red eyes, she clenched Luo Yiyi's hand tightly: "Yiyi, don't be afraid, we...wait for the next elevator."
Luo Yiyi shook her head: "I'm not afraid, Mom, I want to go with you."
The air fell into silence, and the three people could only wait quietly for the elevator to return.
However, just when the number on the display screen turned to 13, the elevator suddenly stopped.
