Chapter 247: Inhuman (55) (1st update + 2nd update + 3rd update of Five Thousand Thunders) [VIP]
"Calm down, don't panic." Standing in front of the room, Dita showed unexpected calmness, and even looked like a leader, which was rare.
She first looked in the direction of Huangmao and Bai Jinshu: "Where are the other people in your room?"
The only usable floors of the hotel were all equipped with double beds. The team that had stayed here before moved some single beds from other floors and converted this place into a quadruple room.
According to what Dita said before, the abandoned hotel had the best environment among all the settlements in the City of Violence, so there were the most teams here. When there was no room for the teams before, they renovated the rooms and changed the double rooms into triple or quadruple rooms.
Later, the environment of each settlement gradually became better with the development of the team, and the hotel that once had the best environment was no longer as popular.
But the renovations to these rooms have survived.
Last night, the four men in Yuan Shanming's team rested in the same room.
Xiao Tang spent the whole night with Dita and two other girls in their team.
Now when Dita asked about the other two people in their room, the panic on the yellow-haired man's face not only did not fade away, but became even more intense.
"Little Sister Tang..." He even had a hint of tears in his voice, "Brother Yuan and...that guy aren't out there?"
As soon as he said this, Xiao Tang immediately sensed something was wrong.
"The other two people are not in the room?" She took a few steps forward and looked at Bai Jinshu inquiringly.
"He wasn't there when I woke up," Bai Jinshu shook his head, "Both beds were cold. He must have been gone for at least half an hour."
"I thought they came out first to meet you," he added.
"No," Dita said with a grim expression, "at least I didn't see them."
Yuan Shanming is the only one among everyone who has experience in triggering SA. Even if his experience is not the unknown S that they triggered this time, at least having experience is better than having no experience. Everyone was able to relax a little and fall asleep last night because of Yuan Shanming's presence.
But now that Yuan Shanming is missing, it has undoubtedly blocked everyone's channel for obtaining information about ghost stories. Dita is still relatively calm, but the faces of the newcomers next to her have obvious worries.
Unlike the worries of the newcomers in Dita's team, Xiao Tang and Huangmao looked at each other with subtle expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they were concerned about the disappearance of the other person.
As a big ghost story, where did Wai Jiamu go?
Huai Jiamu’s disappearance…is it related to Yuan Shanming’s disappearance?
The two looked at each other and saw uncertainty in each other's eyes.
"So what time did you find them?" The disappearance of the two team members was a foregone conclusion. Bai Jinshu frowned and turned the topic back to the seven bodies in front of him.
Dita: “Not much earlier than you.”
Her short hair was messy, and it was obvious that she had just jumped out of bed and went out without taking care of it.
"Everyone got up late this morning," she said.
The sun rises at seven o'clock in the City of Violence, and the sky will become brighter around half past six. At the same time, the members of the city guard downstairs will leave. This time point is also the biological clock of most leaders of the City of Violence.
Starting from half past six, the sky becomes bright again, and the City of Violence returns to its daytime tranquility. In the half hour from when the sky brightens to when the sun rises, all traces of the night will be wiped out. After this half hour, it is time for the citizens of the City of Violence and newcomers to enter the city.
Normally, Dita wakes up around six o'clock.
The countdown for the S-level ghost story ends at six in the morning, so Dita set the alarm for six.
But when she woke up and looked at the time, it was already past seven in the morning.
Her biological clock, which had never had any problems before, was wrong, and after checking her phone, she found that the alarm she had set in advance had passed the time. She couldn't tell whether she had heard it or not, or if it hadn't rung at all.
This sudden delay in the biological clock was definitely abnormal. Dita started and woke up the remaining three people in the room. After everyone held their breath and made sure that there were no strange sounds in the corridor, the four of them quickly opened the door and went to wake up the teammates in the other rooms.
"Then...we noticed a strange smell in the corridor."
There was a musty smell in the corridor.
Following her narration, Bai Jinshu's sight gradually fell on the room full of corpses: "Is the smell you smelled in this room?"
"Yes," Guan Hongyan nodded. "This hotel is cleaned by the teams that are temporarily staying here. It is impossible for there to be such a strong musty smell. We followed the musty smell to the front of this room and found that something had happened inside."
The hotel room door was ajar.
After the abandoned hotel was scrapped, the door numbers of all the rooms could not be found and the electronic locks could not be opened. The first team that moved in here simply smashed all the door locks.
The door of each room cannot be locked and can be opened by pushing it from the outside. The same is true for the room where the team that stayed last night rested.
"When we found it, the door was ajar. We pushed it open," Dita said with a serious expression. "When we pushed the door open... it looked like this."
Seven people were nailed to the wall, and the first newcomer who pushed open the door was so scared that he almost screamed.
There was no smell of blood in the room, only a strong smell of mold. This strange smell filled the air, and tears welled up in the eyes of the few people standing in the front.
All that was left was Bai Jin's account of what they had seen.
"The bloodstains on the ground are not normal," Guan Hongyan whispered, "We can't judge how long they have been dead by the amount of blood loss."
But apart from S-level ghost stories, absolutely no one can do this.
The City of Violence was absolutely safe at night. The presence of the City Guards ensured that the newcomers living in City B would not be attacked by the undead. However, according to common sense, half past six was the time when the City Guards gradually withdrew from the streets. If the ghost story appeared at six o'clock...
Bai Jinshu: "Have you seen the city guards downstairs?"
Dita shook her head: "No need to think, my first reaction is to go and see that."
If the S-level ghost story they triggered was the appearance of Six O'clock and the killing of the seven remaining team members, then if it spread outward, it would inevitably kill the members of the City Guard downstairs.
Even if they are not killed, some traces of the battle will remain.
"But the downstairs is empty, there are no signs of fighting and no bodies." She took a deep breath, "This can only mean that the city guards safely evacuated the street after dawn at 6:30 and cleaned up all the traces they left last night."
At the same time, this can only mean that...
If these seven people were killed by this S-level ghost story, then this S-level ghost story is very likely... not to have left the hotel.
As soon as these words came out, the newcomer closest to the room subconsciously called out: "Did it move?"
"What's moving!" Xiao Tang turned around very quickly.
“Corpse…did the corpse move just now?” The newcomer who called out was a burly man that Bai Jinshu could hardly remember. His facial features looked somewhat familiar, and his expression now was filled with fear. “Just now when you mentioned the city guard, I subconsciously glanced inside the room, and I saw the shadow of the corpse in the middle move. Did the corpse move…”
Having said this, he suddenly stopped.
That's not a shadow.
The bloodstain was so similar to the silhouette of a dead person nailed to the wall that he subconsciously thought that the movement of the shadow was caused by a person.
But in fact...
"It's the shadow that's moving. Step back." Dita took a few steps back. "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"I'm sure I'm not seeing things!" the sturdy man was very sure, "It was definitely a shadow...blood...that outline moved!"
He changed three nouns in one sentence and finally found the best word to describe this thing: "Just now, the left arm of the man in the middle moved!"
He was pointing at the male team member who was injured yesterday.
Bai Jinshu vaguely remembered that his injury was very serious, almost from the back of the neck to the waist. When his teammates applied medicine to him last night, the blood flowing out from the crack of the wound almost dyed the towel under his body red.
Perhaps it is because of this that his shadow is lighter than others.
"Let me take a look," said another newcomer next to Dita. "Did the left arm outline you mentioned just now return to its original position after it was moved or not?"
“No.” The sturdy man who saw it first was very sure, “It definitely moved, and it moved to the right.”
"But..." Another newcomer paused and shone the flashlight on his phone into the room. "The shadow and the outline of the person correspond. There's no problem."
In other words, if the shadow really moved, it would mean that the person nailed up above also moved.
"But how is that possible?" Bai Jinshu frowned and turned on the light in the room. "Look for yourself, his hand is nailed directly to the wall. If he moves forward as you said, then according to the perspective relationship, his hand must move up one square. But in this case, there will definitely be a nail mark at the original position."
But now, the place where the strong man pointed was empty.
What he said made sense. All of a sudden, the sturdy man who was sure that he saw the shadow moving a few minutes ago began to doubt himself.
Compared to other corpses with their arms raised horizontally, the left arm of this corpse is indeed slightly higher than the shoulder.
If it had moved, there would have been a hole in the wall, and if it had not moved, why was his left arm pointed upwards compared to the other bodies which had their arms raised horizontally?
"This..." The sturdy man stood there and thought for a few seconds, then raised his head and looked at the shadow for a long time. There was a hint of self-doubt in his tone, "Could it be that I really saw it wrong..."
"Not necessarily," Guan Hongyan said cautiously to stop him, "Maybe this was done by an S-level ghost story. Let's go first and look for clues somewhere else."
"Where are the clues elsewhere?" The sturdy man who was stopped by her stood there with a frown, "Sister Tazi has also checked just now, there is no trace downstairs, the only thing that could be the work of that ghost story is the seven bodies in this room. If there are really clues, then the clues are only here!"
He gritted his teeth, bypassed Guan Hongyan and walked into the room.
"I want to see if there is a nail hole where the arm moved just now." He took a strong breath and walked under the corpse.
Then, a surprised voice sounded: "This thing is..."
His voice paused in the middle of his speech, leaving only a trailing note full of surprise.
At the same time, everyone saw the corpse above the strong man's head move.
He lifted him down at an extremely fast speed and actually lifted up the muscular man who was at least 1.9 meters tall.
The light in the room cast his shadow on the wall. Then, the shadow made of blood on the ground began to wriggle. In an instant, it climbed up and swallowed up the shadow of the strong man.
At this moment, with the help of the light in the room, everyone could see clearly that it was not nails that nailed the bodies to the wall.
It was a pitch-black shadow with distinct light and dark blocks of color.
The shadow was projected onto the limbs of the corpses, giving them the illusion that it was a three-dimensional nail.
In fact, the corpses were not nailed to the wall by nails at all, they were pushed to the wall by shadows.
In an instant, the sturdy man whose shadow was swallowed up didn't have time to make any sound. He seemed to melt into the darkness and became a part of the shadow.
The shadow devoured him, vividly flicking out a tiny tentacle in the direction of the newcomers at the door.
"Run!" There was no need to watch any more, Dita turned around and ran. Guan Hongyan grabbed Bai Jinshu and pulled him towards the camera in the corridor.
A group of people immediately ran for their lives.
The ceiling lights in the hotel corridors project every person's shadow faithfully. The distance between the ceiling lights is not continuous. When a person's shadow is far away from the previous ceiling light and has not reached directly under the next ceiling light, the person's shadow will be stretched extremely long.
"Ah——" Before he could run a few steps, he heard a short scream from behind, "Something is pulling me from behind!"
Then the sound disappeared.
Bai Jinshu took a look back while running. At the place where they had just run out, the corpses had completely recovered their normal appearance and were chasing after them.
The running posture of these corpses is very strange. They do not have the balancing movements that normal humans would make to balance their bodies. The entire running posture is completely dragged by the shadows under their feet.
The shadows moved very fast, and the people moved very fast. At first glance, it looked like several people were floating in the air.
Xiao Tang also looked back, took a deep breath and cursed: "Damn, this is a fucking horror movie!"
The corpses behind him were like ghosts, floating horizontally on the ground.
These ghost-like corpses are much scarier than ghosts. Once touched by the shadows under their feet, they will be automatically sucked in.
The newcomer running at the back has disappeared.
"We can't go on like this," Guan Hongyan pulled out the clip on her head and waved towards the ceiling light in front.
With a "hissing" sound, the protective cover outside the lampshade went out, but the ceiling light was not turned off by her.
"Stop hitting it, it's no use!" Dita shouted as she ran ahead, "The light bulbs in the hotel can't be broken. This is a downlight with a trumpet-shaped interior. The bulb is on top of the trumpet. Unless you stand at the bottom and poke upwards, it won't break!"
There are so many downlights, and if you want to turn them on one by one, not to mention whether you can do it in time, even if you remove all the clips and buttons on everyone present, it still won't be enough.
Guan Hongyan cursed under her breath.
After devouring the two newcomers, the shadow behind him became obviously more solid.
The corridor at nine o'clock was in the shape of a U.S. dollar. Luckily, Dita was the leader of the City of Violence. She looked around and said quickly, "Quick, let's go to the emergency passage. Shadows can only appear where there is light!"
The corridor was filled with tube lights that could never be turned off. If they continued walking like this, everyone would be caught up sooner or later.
With a destination in mind, escaping became much more orderly. As the yellow-haired man ran, he even had the energy to ask, "So... does this count as... triggering S?"
Dita was furious: "Fuck, I haven't touched it, how the hell would he know!"
She was the only team leader present. Except for her, everyone else was entering here for the first time. If Dita didn’t know, then naturally no one else knew.
Whether or not the thing chasing them is an S-rank ghost story can only be guessed.
But looking at the current situation, it is probably the case.
A group of people ran for their lives in the corridor and immediately came to the fire escape.
“This iron door—” Dita pushed hard, her voice breaking at the end, “Fuck, I usually take the elevator. This thing has been unused for too long. Who is the idiot team that locked it for me? Don’t you know that the fire escape can’t be locked?!”
"Sister Tazi, stop pushing!" Guan Hongyan immediately decided, "Get out of the way!"
She ran a few steps and kicked him.
The iron fire door didn't budge at all. Guan Hongyan took a deep breath and said, "No, this is a pure iron door. I can't kick it!"
Guan Hongyan's physical strength is still within the human range. Bai Jinshu suspects that she is indeed no match for Xiao Tang in terms of strength.
The shadow behind him was approaching, Xiao Tang rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll do it!"
She kicked it and with a "bang", she actually broke the catch inside the door lock.
Time was urgent and no one had time to marvel at her extraordinary strength. A group of people ran towards the dark fire escape.
But then everyone discovered the problem.
"It's bad," Guan Hongyan took a deep breath, "The noise from kicking the door open just now was too loud."
The lights in the fire escape are voice-controlled. The sound when Xiao Tang kicked the door open was so loud that half of the iron door fell directly to the ground. The sound immediately woke up a bunch of voice-controlled lights in the fire escape.
"Let's go!" Without taking a closer look, Bai Jinshu hurried down. "There is always a limit to how far sound can travel. As long as you get low enough, the voice-activated light may not light up!"
Besides, the lighting time of these voice-controlled lights is usually between one minute and three minutes. As long as they can hold out during this period and wait until the corridor returns to darkness, they will be safe.
After these words were spoken, no one had time to think about it and they quickly ran down the stairs.
The stairs of the fire escape are not very wide and can only accommodate two people walking down side by side.
In this situation, the people who are further back are obviously in higher danger, so everyone is trying their best to squeeze forward. No one wants to be the last one to be swallowed by the shadow behind them.
"Stop squeezing!" Dita shouted in a low voice from the front, "If you keep squeezing like this, if anyone in the front falls, no one behind will be able to leave!"
Her voice came from far below.
On the stairs, Dita, who was walking in front, obviously did not choose the conventional way to go down the stairs. Instead, she took several steps at a time, and when she was halfway up the stairs, she relied on her good agility and jumped straight down.
This naturally saves a lot of time than walking up the stairs normally. The people behind followed suit, and the overall speed of the team suddenly increased a lot.
Instead, it is the degree of meniscus wear in each person.
After jumping a few times, the yellow-haired man couldn't stand the recoil under his feet anymore, and the sound of his gasps became louder and louder.
"Don't scream," Bai Jinshu lowered his voice, "We are getting closer and closer to the floor where the lights are off. Don't make any noise, or the voice-activated lights will turn on."
Xiao Tang is more direct.
She pulled out a pack of napkins from her pocket, pulled out a few at random, crumpled them up and stuffed them into the yellow-haired man's mouth: "Okay, I've blocked his mouth!"
"Don't jump," Dita's voice came from the front, "We are almost at the dark floor. If the sound of your footsteps is too loud, it may trigger the voice-activated lights."
Everyone stopped at once and tiptoed downstairs quickly.
But going from extremely fast to extremely quiet, coupled with the life-threatening escape that preceded it, not everyone has the lung capacity to withstand it.
After the footsteps calmed down, the panting became more obvious.
"Sister Tazi—" a voice came from behind, "They are catching up! They are catching up soon!"
The dark shadow behind them was only half a floor away from them.
The newcomers from other teams, who used to say hello when they met them, now turned into ghosts floating in the air, demanding their lives. When the young man in the lead appeared at the corner of the stairs, the two people walking at the back were so frightened that they almost cried out loud.
"Come on, gentler." But hope lies ahead.
"The lights on the next floor are not on, come down quietly." Dita's voice was very low.
Hope glittered in everyone's eyes. The group tried their best to slow down their pace. For the first time, they felt that darkness was so reassuring.
As the last person stepped into the darkness, everyone slowly let go of the stone in their hearts.
It's okay.
Where there is no light, there is no shadow. They are safe now...
"Pa." There was a sound of applause.
"Ah——" a scream at the top of one's lungs.
At the same time, a light appeared above everyone's head.
"Fuck!" Xiao Tang's clear curse words echoed in the fire escape, "The shadow manipulating the corpses is manipulating the corpses to clap! He triggered the voice-activated lights!"
No one had time to respond to her.
As the lights came on, everyone ran downstairs quickly without even taking a few seconds to rest.
The person who screamed seemed to be a newcomer in Dita's team. Bai Jinshu couldn't remember the man's face, but there was one less figure in the fleeing crowd.
The sound of applause, "pa, pa, pa," sounded behind them slowly, like a death warrant.
And every time a round of applause sounded, a new light would appear in front of everyone, as if welcoming, or mocking.
Foreshadowing a future from which they can seemingly never escape.
"Can you please smash the power box?" Since keeping quiet was useless, Xiao Tang simply shouted, "Wouldn't it be possible to cut off the power if we smash the power box?"
"It's useless!" Dita's voice was a little hysterical. "I told you, the power supply of this hotel was connected by a senior from the street lamp on the road downstairs!"
The power supply in the hotel does not go through an electrical box at all!
"Fuck..." Xiao Tang almost gritted his teeth, "I've never hated the person who connected the wires so much!"
No one knows how he managed to connect a street lamp to the power supply of the entire hotel building, but it is foreseeable that the only way to get rid of the thing behind him - cutting off the power - has now lost hope.
"Where's that big weird story?" She was furious. "Why has it disappeared at this time? Ersi! Can't you let him not disappear at the critical moment?!"
It can be seen that Xiao Tang is indeed anxious, and the referential term "big weird talk" that he usually tries hard to avoid mentioning in front of outsiders has come out.
Fortunately, everyone was busy and no one cared what she said.
Bai Jinshu: "My legs are on his body, what can I do?"
But Huai Jiamu's disappearance was indeed too strange.
Why would he disappear without even saying hello before the strange story appeared?
That's not his style.
“Ahhhhhhh——” Xiao Tang shouted in self-destruction as he ran, “If this doesn’t work out, I’ll just turn around and have a good fight with him!”
"Calm down!" Dita shouted, "You have a shadow. If you go over there, you won't even have a chance to fight before you'll be swallowed up."
Xiao Tang gritted his teeth and said, "This kind of garbage can't swallow me!"
Although she said this, it was obvious that she didn't mean what she said, and she ran faster than anyone else.
In just a few breaths, he was almost catching up with Dita in front.
"No, we're already on the ninth floor!" Guan Hongyan's anxious voice sounded, "If we keep running like this, we'll end up on the first floor and have to leave the hotel. But it's daytime outside, and it's impossible to avoid the light."
The thing chasing them clearly thought so.
It is to force them to the outside world.
"Sister Tazi, what about the floors below?" Bai Jinshu asked hurriedly, "Have you been to the floors below? Is there any without electricity?!"
"We usually only hang out on the residential floor and in the banquet hall. We never go to other floors!" A hint of heavy breathing could be heard in Dita's voice.
"Let's try!" At this point, Bai Jinshu must not be forced out of the hotel by the shadow. He looked down and said, "Xiao Tang, break open the door and see!"
"You fucking think I'm a battering ram!" Xiao Tang cursed, but his feet moved more decisively than anyone else and kicked the door open.
"No!" she shouted before she even entered, "The green sign for the emergency exit on this floor is on, there is electricity on this floor!"
The group of people had no choice but to continue running down.
"Even the eighth floor is not acceptable!"
"Not on the seventh floor! Not on the sixth floor!"
After opening three doors in a row, even Xiao Tang, who had a strong body, couldn't bear it: "No, my legs are numb. If I kick again, my bones will break!"
"This is not a solution..." Guan Hongyan's voice was rarely filled with anxiety. "The fifth and fourth floors are the banquet halls. If we miss these two floors, we will only have the third floor left!"
"Doesn't this hotel have a basement?" the yellow-haired man shouted exhaustedly.
"Yes, but the basement is full of water and the lights are on!" Dita shouted in response.
From this perspective, it seems that their fate is destined to be forced out of the hotel.
Is it true that such a large hotel can have electricity on every floor?
"What kind of street light power supply is so amazing!" Xiao Tang collapsed, holding his head, "Did the person who connected the wires really connect the street light?"
"Which street lamp can supply electricity to an entire hotel?" Huang Mao couldn't help but say, "My university dormitory has electricity restrictions and we can't use large appliances!"
"Fuck," Xiao Tang looked at him incredulously as he ran, "You went to college!"
Although the yellow-haired man was running, he still held his chest out proudly: "Of course, although I am a ghost fire gangster, I am a well-known cultural person in our area!"
“Is this the point?!” The two people at the back were still in the mood to talk nonsense. Dita was shouting in the front, “Brothers and sisters! We are almost finished! Think of a way! After running through this floor of the banquet hall, we only have three floors left!”
The banquet hall is connected from the fourth to the fifth floor, so there are only three floors left.
Unless an extra floor is built out of thin air, the hotel will collapse immediately.
"Let me take a look!" Guan Hongyan shouted from the front, "I've long felt that there's something wrong with this hotel's banquet hall!"
"What's the problem?" Dita asked hurriedly.
"It's too short!" Guan Hongyan shouted, "There was a case in a foreign country where all the buildings in a city had an extra mezzanine on the 13th floor to avoid being conspicuous. Some criminals hid in these floors. I suspect this hotel also has a mezzanine on the 4th floor to avoid being conspicuous!"
"Xiao Tang," she said in a hurried voice, "Can you still kick the wall open now?"
"Ah?!" Xiao Tang's voice suddenly rose. "Sister, I am a living person made of flesh and blood. I am not a Gundam. How can I kick the wall open? My bones will break!"
"I'll do it!" Time is urgent and there is no time to think too much.
Guan Hongyan heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice coming from behind her. Cen Bingqi's face flashed past her, and the brutality in his eyes made her feel damn relieved.
"Hit it here!" Guan Hongyan stopped in the middle of the stairs, panting, pointing at the wall and shouting quickly.
Cen Bingqi didn't have time to respond to her.
With a few "bang", "bang", and "bang" sounds, the shadow behind him was getting closer and closer. The wall shook, the wall paint splashed, and a hole was actually smashed out.
"Brother, you are my only brother!" Xiao Tang followed behind him and didn't wait for him to move away, his elbow followed up.
Bai Jinshu staggered back a few steps and was caught by the yellow-haired man. At the wall in front of them, the newcomers who didn't want to die didn't care about their arms and legs, and all desperately smashed the surrounding walls along the hole.
As everyone worked hard, the hole became bigger and bigger, and a few seconds was enough for a person to pass through.
Xiao Tang, who was at the front, jumped down without thinking: "It's not the banquet hall!"
Her voice was too loud, with a muffled echo.
"Fuck! Sister Hua! My adoptive parents!" The yellow-haired guy jumped down and acted exaggerated.
"Stop shouting and get out of the way!" Xiao Tang kicked him aside and shouted upwards, "Hurry up and jump!"
Everyone in the stairwell jumped down like dumplings.
This is a very low space with no lights and the surrounding walls seem to be rough. People cannot stand up straight inside. The ceiling height is estimated to be less than 1.5 meters.
Everyone was covered in wounds after smashing the wall, but they didn't dare to stay in this light-transmitting gap for long. They all ignored the thick dust on the ground and crawled forward.
This space is unexpectedly deep.
Without the help of light to judge the environment, the reassuring darkness brings about a loss of direction.
There was only one concept left in everyone's mind.
Go forward, keep going forward, as far away from the light as possible.
Enter the darkness, go to the deepest part of this mezzanine, and wait here until it gets dark outside.
In such a dark mezzanine, everyone was gasping for breath, sucking the dust on the ground into their mouths without hesitation, and making deafening coughing sounds.
The coughing sound could be heard from far away. In such an empty mezzanine, without the concept of light, it was easy for people to doubt whether the teammates around them were still teammates.
At this moment, Xiao Tang at the front keenly sensed something was wrong.
"Wait a minute!" she yelled, "Is anyone in front?"
There was a rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other behind her.
Xiao Tang's sudden shout made everyone's heart reach the peak.
In the middle of a breath mixed with coughs and the sound of spitting out dust, Bai Jinshu said: "What did you see?"
As soon as he said this, he felt that his choice of words was not right.
The current situation really cannot be described as “look”.
"I feel..." Xiao Tang held his breath for a moment, "I feel like there seems to be something in front of me."
"The front is not open," she organized her words. "According to the layout of the banquet hall, the fire escape we enter here is at the far left corner, so no matter which direction we run, even if we run along the wall, we will only run along the boundary of this hotel building, right?"
"Yes." I don't know who answered.
"Then at our current speed..." She paused, "I don't think we can reach the other end of the conference hall so quickly, not to mention that we are not even walking along the wall now, which means we are not even walking in the shortest straight line."
So why did it reach the top so quickly?
What on earth is that thing in front?
Without the pursuit of the shadow behind him, after a brief period of reassuring darkness, he felt a great discomfort after losing one of his five senses, vision.
No one turned on the lights, and in the darkness, everyone's breathing was extremely clear.
"Walk forward slowly," Bai Jinshu exhaled lightly, "Maybe this mezzanine is only half the size of the banquet hall. Don't scare yourself. Can you touch the base of the wall now?"
"No," Xiao Tang's clothes rustled, "We should be in the center of the building now."
"Then move forward little by little," Bai Jinshu leaned forward to signal the people in front to make way, "Everyone hold hands and form a horizontal line, groping forward little by little until we encounter an obstacle."
In such darkness, it is easy for people who have lost their judgment to follow the only one who can make judgments.
As soon as Bai Jinshu finished speaking, the rest of the people began to move in accordance with his movements.
Everyone groped their way together and groped forward bit by bit.
The darkness magnified everyone's perception. Without light, for a moment, everyone could even feel the dust on the ground stirred up by their own breath, and then the slight touch of the dust falling on their face.
The sound of nervous swallowing was clearly audible.
At this moment, there was a clear "smack".
It was the sound of something sharp scraping across a rough surface.
Following this sound, the team members who were used to the darkness suddenly saw white in front of their eyes.
The long-lost light entered their field of vision, the light was yellow, orange, and warm.
Someone struck a match.
The author has something to say:
Suddenly I realized that the word count of this book has exceeded two million. I actually wrote so many words (doubting my life)
