Chapter 58 Meeting New People
Today is their second day in the Lost Continent.
The number of times the poison barrier is released will increase from three to five times, the number of poisonous corpses will double, and the number of keys will remain six, without any change.
They ran into trouble yesterday. They only killed three batches of poisonous corpses and didn't get a single key.
I did get a few Lingbai, but unfortunately they were all level one.
The drop rates of Lingbai in the intermediate area are: 35% for level one, 60% for level two, and 5% for level three.
I don't know if it's bad luck or good luck.
Eight o'clock arrives.
The light curtain popped out on time.
[Drip drip drip—]
[The first round of poison barrier is about to be released, please find a shelter as soon as possible——]
[Ten minutes countdown begins now.]
[09:59:59]
The off-road vehicle had only a little gas left, which could only sustain them to the next shelter. Along the way, everyone was keeping an eye on the roadside to see if they could find a new vehicle or a refueling tank.
pity.
The journey was too peaceful, nothing happened.
Arrived at the shelter.
This time it was a dilapidated residential building, six stories high, with mottled walls and the backlit side covered with ivy.
The corridor was pitch black and there were no lights. The stairs were narrow and slanted, going straight up from the first floor to the sixth floor. There were no handrails on either side. When you stepped on them, small stones would keep falling down, and the "clacking" sound was clearly audible and getting louder and louder.
It seemed as if the stairs would collapse in the next second and they would be smashed to pieces.
Scarlett started to get nervous after taking only two steps.
She is not afraid of heights.
But the current situation would scare her even if she didn't have acrophobia.
There are three minutes left before the poison gas is released.
They had to go up in one go.
Scarlett looked upstairs.
The corridor was very dark, but the light from the roof was very dazzling, a sea of white, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Look at your feet again.
The stairs were suspended in the air, and it was pitch black under my feet like a bottomless pit. I felt that if I fell down, I would starve to death before I died from the fall.
Scarlett was nervous.
But she didn't dare to stop and followed Chi Ye with her head down.
The stairs are too narrow, only enough for one person to pass through.
Behind her were Sylvia and Holst. Stopping would waste time and affect everyone.
Scarlett gritted her teeth and rushed forward, just as if she was climbing a mountain. She would be done with just the climbing.
finally.
She took the last step and reached the sixth floor.
Look back and down.
The stairs were completely submerged in the gloomy black, which made it even more frightening.
She quickly retreated into the room, and after Sylvia and Holst came in, she quickly closed the door.
Turning around, he met Holst's inquiring gaze, his smoky-gray pupils hard and without a trace of warmth.
Scarlett had been seeing this kind of look frequently since she asked Duke to get out of the car yesterday. She was no longer surprised and ignored it calmly.
The room is about 20 square meters and there is no other space. You can see the whole room at a glance. The sofa, coffee table and chairs are placed in the middle, forming a simple rest area.
Scarlett sat down on the fabric sofa, stretched out her body, then took out some food and placed it on the coffee table.
She got up late today and hasn't had breakfast yet.
Food is the most important thing for people. Eat your fill first.
After breakfast, Scarlett felt sleepy again and took a nap on the sofa.
I have to say that she is very relaxed at times, showing a calmness that comes from seeing through life.
When the poisonous gas dissipated and Scarlett woke up from her sleep, the four of them continued on their journey.
But this time, it's not as easy as yesterday.
Open the door.
They saw densely packed poisonous corpses standing on the stairs, with their heads raised, waists bent, staring at the door, motionless.
The sound of the door opening was like a button that activated their bloodthirsty nature. Their heads moved, their eyes rolled, and they rushed forward all at once.
“Ahhhhhh!”
The poisonous corpse killed people!!!
Scarlett was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly.
Chi Ye opened the door with quick eyes and hands, and closed the door immediately. With a "bang", he knocked away several of the fastest-moving poisonous corpses.
But this is far from enough.
The entire staircase was filled with poisonous corpses, at least several hundred of them.
Holst walked to the window and glanced out. A large number of poisonous zombies stopped downstairs, blocking the entrance to the corridor. Even though the corridor was completely blocked, they were still madly squeezing forward.
Obviously attracted to them.
It seems that the doorway to the room is the best place to deal with them.
Holst told Chiye this information.
"No problem, leave it to me!"
Chiye patted his chest, took out a machine gun, set it up at the door, loaded the bullets, and winked at Holst.
Holst understood. He put his hand on the doorknob. Before turning it, he looked at Scarlett and said, "Go hide in the Sevilla territory."
The poisonous corpse carries poisonous gas, and Scarlett's mental strength is low and she cannot resist it. If something happens, it will affect them.
Scarlett nodded, without wasting a second, holding Sylvia's hand and quickly hiding in the field.
As soon as they disappeared.
Holst opened the door decisively.
Countless poisonous corpses pounced on them.
Chiye controlled the machine gun and opened fire at full power. Only the sound of "thump thump thump" could be heard continuously throughout the room. The light that burst out was hotter than the flames. The poisonous corpses were scorched and grimaced, swaying left and right. Their bodies tilted, and they fell down the stairs with the poisonous corpses behind them, sinking into the bottomless black hole.
No response at all.
In three minutes, the poisonous corpses were completely eliminated.
Several cypresses and a key floated out and flew into Chiye's hands.
[Warning! Warning!]
[The shelter is about to release poisonous gas, please evacuate immediately!]
[One minute countdown.]
[00:59:59]
Time was running out, so Chiye didn't count them and put them all into the ring space.
He opened the window and confirmed that all the poisonous corpses downstairs were gone. He called out Sylvia and Scarlett and said, "It's too late to go up the stairs. Let's jump down. There are no poisonous corpses downstairs. It's safe."
Scarlett listened to his words and glanced downstairs with mixed feelings.
Six floors, twenty meters high.
It's quite safe.
I don’t know if I can survive.
Chi Ye saw Scarlett's hesitation, picked her up and said, "Hold me tight, I'll take you down."
Before Scarlett could react, she felt the wind rushing past her ears, causing her earlobes to hurt. She looked to the side and saw that Chi Ye, the idiot, had just jumped off the building with her!
She was so scared that her scalp was about to explode. She quickly hugged Chi Ye's neck, buried her head in his neck, and curled up her body as much as possible. This would reduce the contact area when she hit the ground, provide some cushioning, and prevent her death from being too painful.
Although Chiye is reckless, he is very capable.
Sixth floor.
Arrived in two seconds.
Scarlett only felt her body shake slightly, and the wind in her ears suddenly stopped.
But she didn't jump over the building. She didn't know how long it would take to cover this distance. In addition, she was afraid. Even though it was very quiet around her, she didn't dare to open her eyes and hugged Chi Ye tightly.
Chi Ye didn't say anything and let her hold him.
The faint fragrance surrounded him, and he felt extremely comfortable, his body and mind immersed in it.
Holst stood by the window and saw them land safely. He stepped on the windowsill and jumped down, landing steadily.
Sevilla followed closely behind.
But his aim was not as good as Holst's, and his body tilted and hit the flower bed next to him.
it hurts.
Sylvia climbed up with great pain, brushed off the dirt and fallen leaves on his body, and saw Chiye still holding Scarlett. He walked over and shouted, "Scarlett, we're here."
"arrive?"
Scarlett looked up.
It's on the first floor.
It arrived as expected.
She breathed a sigh of relief and jumped off Chiye. Her fears were swept away. She looked at the scrapped car on the side of the road, her face brightened, and she walked forward with full energy, "Let's go! Let's find a new car."
After taking only two steps, Scarlett paused, backed away, and returned to her original position.
Chi Ye was originally glaring at Sevilla, but when he saw Scarlett retreat, he quickly put away his murderous gaze and gave a hypocritical smile, "What's wrong?"
Scarlett pointed in a direction and stretched out her index finger. "Someone."
Chiye, Holst, and Sevilla looked over together.
A hundred meters ahead, a team of seven people was walking towards them.
The leader was a female.
He was very tall, about 1.8 meters, with wheat-colored skin, sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and he looked very heroic.
