Chapter 340: Horror Night: Survival Copy (1/3/28)
The other players also frowned. Is this swimming in a pool? Is this swimming in the sea?
For a moment, no one dared to go into the water and they all stood by the pool in a stalemate.
Xu Jinxiao shook his head helplessly, walked to the locker room on the side, changed into his swimsuit and walked out.
Looking at the few people who were still hesitating, he said calmly: "Let's swim. I'll get off first."
He came to the swimming pool and looked at the time. It was exactly 12:05. He didn't stop and stepped down the ladder to the swimming pool.
The players above looked at him as Xu Jinxiao entered the water. He must have very good swimming skills to be able to keep his body steady in such deep water.
He took a deep breath, dived underwater, came to the edge of the swimming pool, kept half a meter below the water surface, and swam steadily in the water.
There was calm all around, and silence in the deep water. Nothing suddenly came out to attack him.
He was the only one swimming slowly in the huge pool, which seemed safe, but all the players knew it would not be that simple.
But they had no choice but to look at each other, walk into the locker room, change into their swimsuits and get out of the pool.
Everyone quickly got out of the swimming pool. Although Zhao Ke, who was not very good at swimming, got into the water, he still held on to the handrail of the ladder tightly.
The other players felt it and thought they could handle it.
"Zhao Ke, let go. It doesn't count as swimming there!"
The players came to the swimming pool and prepared to carry out the bloody mission along the pool. Jianshu found that Zhao Ke did not follow them. He turned his head and saw that he was still standing next to the ladder.
He was anxiously reminded that the other players had already started, so what should he do if he was the only one left?
"Have you forgotten? The task requires you to swim around the pool twice."
Jianshu urged again.
"Shushu, I'm a little scared."
Zhao Ke was tall and strong, but at this moment he was shrinking his neck. The water under his feet looked very deep. He was trying hard to prepare himself mentally.
Jian Shu saw that he was really scared, and the other three players swam forward, anxiously swimming towards Zhao Ke.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you swimming!"
Zhao Ke was deeply moved after hearing this. Shushu was worthy of being his son!
Jianshu grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the ladder.
Zhao Ke tried hard to control his inner tension and slowly let go of his hand.
Jian Shu took him to the swimming pool and said with a smile, "Isn't that all right? Let's swim together."
Zhao Ke nodded. With Jianshu by his side, he seemed no longer afraid.
Jianshu pulled him forward and swam together, the two of them shoulder to shoulder.
The water was clear and the lights were bright, so they could see the pool wall next to them even above the water, so they didn't worry about swimming in the wrong direction.
Xu Jinxiao is an excellent swimmer and has already swum a full lap in the huge swimming pool.
He turned around to look for the other players, but found that there was no ripple on the water surface. Could it be that they had dived deep?
Xu Jinxiao stepped on the ladder and looked towards the pool. He could see clearly that he was the only one in the pool and everyone else had disappeared.
But he was not panicked. He looked at everything in front of him calmly. In his hand appeared the strange object he had accidentally picked up in the copy before. He waited quietly for the lurking strange object to come out.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Everything was still calm and nothing unexpected happened.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard from behind. Xu Jinxiao turned around and saw that it was her boyfriend.
He was covered in wounds, but the blood that flowed out was purple-blue in color, and he staggered towards the swimming pool.
Xu Jinxiao looked at him carefully. It didn’t seem fake, but what happened to him?
"Huahuahua"
There was a faint sound of paddling in the swimming pool behind him. Xu Jinxiao turned his head and saw that several other players had reappeared, swimming close to the pool wall. It seemed that his vision was indeed blocked by something just now, but it was broken by the arrival of the male couple.
"Plop"
There was a splash of water nearby, and the male couple jumped right in.
After he fell into the water, the green liquid was washed away, revealing a large number of scars, and flesh and blood were turned up in the water, but they looked like knife wounds. How could the monster use a knife to cut him?
Considering his poor mental state, he should use physical harm to stay awake so that he does not miss the mission.
Xu Jinxiao asked about his pollution level, which was as high as 75.
[Host, once the contamination value reaches 90, he will almost completely lose his mind. He is just an ordinary person, and it will be almost impossible for him to stay sane at that time.]
Xu Jinxiao understood that the pollution value was indeed not that simple. Besides, how could the copy give benefits to the players?
Xu Jinxiao didn't look at him again. Lu Qing was about to swim to his side. He waited there and swam with Lu Qing for this lap.
Lu Qing swam to his side, Xu Jinxiao took his hand and took him swimming together.
Lu Qing turned his head in surprise. He could swim, so why did Xu Qiu pull him along?
He soon understood that with Xu Jinxiao pulling him, he swam faster.
The two of them swam quickly in the water hand in hand, trying to complete the task quickly.
Jianshu and the others swam along the pool for a long time but didn't see the ladder. How could this be possible? Even if it was far away, it wouldn't take so long to reach it.
Jian Shu was confused and patted Zhao Ke beside him in the water.
Zhao Ke turned around with a confused look on his face. He had been in a state of tension and his reaction was much slower than usual. He had not noticed anything unusual.
Jianshu pointed at the water surface and made a mouth shape. Zhao Ke understood and nodded.
The two of them floated to the surface together. There was not a ripple on the water, and no one else was visible. The 7th floor was empty and silent, as if they were the only two there.
"Where are the others? Maybe they're diving too deep. Let me push myself up a bit and see."
Zhao Ke only then noticed something was wrong. He was floundering in the water, with only his shoulders barely exposed, and his field of vision was limited.
Holding onto the edge of the pool, I raised my body and scanned the entire pool.
"Where are the others? Why can't I see them?"
Zhao Ke had a bad feeling.
Jian Shu shook his head. "I don't know. It just happened while I was swimming."
Zhao Ke was a little scared. He grabbed Jian Shu's hand and asked, "What should we do now?"
God knows he was not very good at swimming to begin with, and now he encountered this situation, his heart was beating wildly with nervousness.
The deep pool under his feet was bottomless, and he could only hold on tightly to the only Jianshu book beside him.
Fortunately, Jianshu was there. If he were alone, he would definitely be panicked.
Jian Shu patted his arm soothingly, "Don't be afraid."
He looked around, wondering how to crack this? He wondered if there was any danger.
The two waited there for a long time, but no monsters attacked them, as if they just wanted to trap them here.
Zhao Ke frowned, and his mind cleared up. Although there was no danger, time could not be wasted. The two of them had not even finished swimming a lap.
He took out a mini hammer from his swimsuit, enlarged it the next second, and smashed it hard into the water.
With a loud "bang", the waves splashed high.
The two closed their eyes, and when they opened them again, other players were looking at them from all over the pool with puzzled expressions.
"Zhao Ke, what are you doing? You suddenly made such a big noise."
Qingyan couldn't help but ask. She was swimming with Wen Ze when a loud noise in the water made her ears ring.
"I finally see you guys. I'm relieved. You don't know, we were the only two left in the swimming pool just now. I seriously suspected that there was a monster trying to trap us."
Zhao Ke hurriedly explained.
"I've encountered this too. Don't worry, you can break it by making some noise."
Xu Jinxiao expressed his understanding.
"Is that so? Then we both have experience."
Qingyan curled her red lips and glanced at Wenze.
Wen Ze smiled at her.
The players stopped chatting and continued to dive into the water and swim.
In less than ten minutes, all six people swam two laps and gathered next to the ladder waiting for the half-hour end.
Since they could only swim in the water, they floated on the surface and chatted to pass the time. After swimming two laps, they were very tired and were too lazy to swim anymore.
Zhao Ke held the ladder with one hand and habitually pulled Jianshu with the other.
Xu Jinxiao glanced at the time. It was 12:15, so the task could be completed at 12:35.
There are still twenty minutes left. Nothing happened in the previous 10 minutes. According to the behavior of the copy, it is impossible for them to pass easily. I don’t know what will happen next.
Xu Jinxiao looked at Zhao Ke, took out the mirror from the system space and handed it to him.
"I'm giving it back to you. This mirror is very powerful. It will definitely greatly increase your survival rate. I can't take it back."
Zhao Ke looked at the mirror in his hand in surprise, "Brother Xu, do you know its use?"
"Well, I remembered it after you left."
Xu Jinxiao cleared his cough as if to cover up.
"No, no, a gift given is like spilled water, how can you take it back?"
Zhao Ke shook his head, firmly refused, and pulled Jian Shu to swim to the side.
"Brother Xu, just accept it. Zhao Ke will definitely feel bad if you don't."
Jianshu persuaded him on behalf of Zhao Ke.
Xu Jinxiao was helpless and had to send him off. There was really no other way.
Xu Jinxiao had no choice but to put it away. It felt really strange that such a powerful monster appeared out of nowhere.
The players here were chatting idly, waiting for the danger to come.
Not far from them, the male couple was lying alone on the wall of the pool with their backs facing them. There were deep knife marks on their backs that were visible to the bone, which looked shocking.
However, Xu Jinxiao knew that his injuries were much lighter than when he first arrived.
Another five minutes passed, it was already 12:20, and only the last fifteen minutes were left.
The players soaked in the warm swimming pool, their bodies floating up and down, and a drowsy feeling came over them.
Suddenly, the bright incandescent lamp above my head flickered twice and made a hissing sound of electricity, as if there was a bad contact.
But none of the players thought it was a malfunction, and the challenge of the copy still came.
Between the flickering and the onset of light, the water in the pool began to surge, even forming waves like the sea.
The players were originally floating on the water without any attachments, but the sudden change made them like a small boat stuck in the sea, swaying constantly with the waves.
Xu Jinxiao steadied his body, pulled Lu Qing to the ladder, and grabbed it.
Wen Ze and the other man also reacted quickly and grabbed the ladder to prevent themselves from being submerged in the pool.
The male couple on the other side could only hold on to the wall of the pool tightly, but the wall was smooth and wet, making it very difficult to hold on.
But even so, he did not choose to come to the ladder.
"hiss"
There were two more sharp sounds of electricity, and the entire swimming pool fell into complete darkness for a second or two. When the light flashed again, the players were horrified to find that red liquid was spreading in the pool.
The speed was so fast that it soon filled the entire pool, and at the same time a strong smell of blood hit us in the face.
The water around them also became like this, but fortunately they were all wearing airtight swimsuits that covered their entire bodies.
The players were trapped in a pool of blood, and the incandescent lamp above their heads was still flickering, the light sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
The blood pool was still roiling and boiling, and blood waves were rising one after another.
"Gulp Gulp"
Suddenly, blood bubbles appeared on the water surface, and the blood-red bubbles appeared and burst, as if there was firewood underneath boiling the blood water.
The players clung to the ladders tightly as they stared at the scene before them, their own strange objects appearing in their hands as they vigilantly watched for any unusual movements in the pool.
The lights flickered, and suddenly, everyone saw the terrifying and rotten faces of people flashing in the pool of blood close to them.
Xu Jinxiao remained calm. It was just a little trick and he wasn't scared.
The mentality of other players has also been trained, so they don't feel anything.
The pool of blood in front of me was still bubbling, and I didn't know why.
Suddenly, a black mass of silky substance, like hair, emerged from the pool.
The players watched vigilantly, and then countless broken limbs and arms emerged from the pool of blood.
Most of them were severely rotten, with a fishy and foul smell in the air.
The players frowned and quickly held their breath.
The next second, Xu Jinxiao felt something cold grabbing his ankle, and then pulling him into the water with great force.
Xu Jinxiao held the ladder tightly and kicked it hard with his other foot. "Crack!" A slight cracking sound came from under the water, and then a skeletal arm floated up from beside him.
"Huh? Something grabbed my leg."
Then Zhao Ke suddenly shouted in fear.
As soon as he finished shouting, he was dragged into the pool of blood with great force, and his head submerged in the pool.
He no longer held on to the ladder tightly. The strong force in his calves would not help him hold on to the ladder, and he would even pull the ladder off.
Before Jian Shu could turn around, he was also pulled into the pool because he was holding on to Zhao Ke tightly.
Seeing this, the other four people quickly bent down and dived into the pool to look for the two people.
A dagger appeared in Xu Jinxiao's hand and he swam towards the approximate location of the two people.
Zhao Ke was being quickly dragged to the bottom of the pool by a dry bone. A brush appeared in Jianshu's hand. He quickly wrote a word in the air and then tapped the dry bone. The bone immediately stopped moving.
Jianshu reached out and pulled the dry bones from Zhao Ke's legs, then swam him back to the surface of the pool.
After swimming up, he met up with the other four people, and they returned to the surface of the pool together.
Zhao Ke wiped the blood off his face and looked at the people around him.
"There's something in the pool that can pull us under, so be careful."
"good."
Several players gathered together, paying careful attention to their surroundings.
Compared to the cautious and solemn people here, the male couple on the other side was much more relaxed. He had mutated to a very high level and was able to deal with it easily. He was not afraid of the monsters in the water at all.
Looking at the players on the other side, he sneered in his heart. They were just so-so. He had thought they were so powerful before.
The male couple looked at the players with disdain, their brown-green pupils looking viciously at them, hoping in their hearts that they would all be dragged down by the monster in the pool and never get up again.
Then he would be very happy.
