After the ten people of unknown origin entered the elevator, they maintained a standing posture with guns in hand. No one moved at all, and there was no sign of talking to Lu Ning's people. Because they had seen a reminder "Don't talk to strangers" in the elevator before, Lu Ning and others did not take the initiative to talk to them.
The atmosphere became very serious for a moment. Soon, the elevator stopped again. The group immediately set up their guns and pointed them at the door. The two at the front, Lu Ning and Qian Yipeng, immediately took a step back to see what these people were going to do.
The door opened, and a very strong smell of blood rushed out. Lu Ning vaguely saw countless snake-like bloody mouths outside the elevator swarming towards the elevator. At the same time, everyone in the team also When fired, the firearm is silenced, and the sound is not very loud, but extremely dense. The blue gunfire and dense lines of fire bombarded the big mouths and snake fangs, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere. After the five people finished shooting, the five people behind immediately took over and asked the five people in front to change their ammunition. These people cooperated very well, and an opening as small as an elevator door could be completely blocked with the firepower of five people.
The shooting lasted about ten minutes in total, with nearly twenty rounds of firing exchanged. The elevator was already full of the smell of gunpowder smoke, and the outside was full of fishy flesh and blood.
"Tear it apart." One of them finally spoke, "Floor monster, suppress fire, pass."
After one person spoke, the rest also spoke.
"Forward? Forward?"
"You can kill, you can slaughter."
"It's an ordinary creature."
"Flesh, flesh."
These people whispered, but still did not make any move, as if they were listening to the original person's decision.
"Mission, explore as many floors as possible. Obtain intelligence, preliminary. Continue to transfer. Load the bullets and continue to tear apart."
Following these words, everyone immediately lowered their guns and returned to their quiet demeanor.
Lu Ning frowned slightly.
The actions of these people didn't surprise her much. She had seen many crazy people, but the voices of these people changed a lot through the gas masks, but they still sounded familiar.
The blood that was taken away before... was used so quickly? It seems that these people do not have the correct elevator password and are randomly exploring different places. However, there may not be just one such team. Judging from the previous messages in the elevator, the black words may have been left by similar teams.
The elevator rose again, and this time it finally reached the floor that Lu Ning randomly picked.
After the door opened, there was actually a cylindrical passage outside. After raising their guns, the strange team members found that no monsters were attacking, so they quickly lined up and rushed into the passage.
"Should we follow?" Yan Zidan asked.
"This is the floor we chose. We don't have to follow these people." Lu Ning stepped into the cylinder and clenched his fist. The white ring on his hand showed no reaction.
Qian Yipeng from behind also tried a few times with that plate, but to no avail. Instead, Yan Zidan clicked around with a folding fan, and some blood-red scenes appeared on the fan, which were basically cruel punishment scenes.
"I can't hear anything strange. Those people are quite fast." Deng Zhiyi listened with his ears straightened, "But this looks like a maze."
Indeed, the circular pipe begins to branch a little further forward, extending in all directions, and it looks like a complete maze. But Lu Ning took a closer look and found that it was not the case. There were just many forks in the road, but there was no dead end. In other words, as long as you keep walking, you can always reach the end.
"This should be just a passage. There may be dangers inside, but it's not for people to get lost..."
Da da da da——
Lu Ning's voice was interrupted by the sound of gunfire. Silencing didn't completely eliminate the sound. The sound transmission effect here was particularly good. The sound of gunshots could be heard even from such a distance.
"It looks like there was a firefight." Xin Mi took out the scalpel, "Everyone, let's be careful."
Almost tacitly, Lu Ning and Xin Mi chose to go to the place where the firefight was taking place at the same time. Because at least the hidden dangers in that place have been triggered, but I'm afraid they are still lurking in other places. Both of them wanted to see where the enemy was coming from before making further plans.
According to Lu Ning, as long as you know which floor this is, you can return to the elevator without spending time. However, the floor number plates are all on the stairs, so you need to look for them a little bit.
The firefight area soon arrived, but what is surprising is that the monsters here are all hairless white rats with scarlet eyes and bodies about the size of a newborn baby. There are about a hundred of them, and they have been shot by bullets. Killed nearly half the number. At this time, the team could no longer continue the alternating shooting tactics just now, but the mice were still unable to get close - every time a mouse slipped through the net and tried to pounce on it, a team member would take the time to throw out a whip blade and whip the mouse into the air. Crushed, broken into a pile of meat pieces.
These people are so powerful and ruthless that one even wonders if they are even human at all. In fact, everyone was glad that they didn't have any ill intentions towards them, they just ignored them.
Soon, the remaining mice were beaten to pieces. The man who seemed to be the captain raised his hand and touched the bow on the back of his head, and then said: "Tear one hundred and fifteen mice into pieces, no signs of life, no resurrection." Reaction. Low threat, push forward."
"Are these people just here to kill monsters?" Deng Zhiyi frowned, "Well done...but what's the point? This way we can't detect the exit."
"They probably don't need it." Lu Ning continued to move forward with those people. They had some other tools in their hands, similar to radars, which could irritate the monsters while detecting them. However, after advancing about twenty meters, some more white mice appeared, but the number was much smaller, and there was not even a round of firepower. Hold on.
At this moment, the captain raised his hand and made a gesture, and all the team members stopped.
"Nest, found." The captain removed the magazine from the gun and threw it away, then pulled out a flashing red magazine from his waist and inserted it.
Lu Ning and others also saw the "nest".
Through the nest made of sticky blood and flesh, there are also some disassembled human heads inside. The completely distorted facial features were still alive, emitting intermittent screams. In the center of the nest, there is a monster that is probably made of dozens of rats sewn together. Four arms without hands protrude from the spherical body. All the rat claws combined into the body are still scratching. If you look at it for a long time, it will It feels disgusting.
In addition to the mice, there are some wooden stake-like things in the middle of the flesh and blood lines. They are yellow and thin. They have three slender arms like twigs, each holding a bone needle. These arms flexibly grab the surrounding objects. The skin and flesh, and the thin threads of flesh and blood extracted from it, are being sutured.
Before Lu Ning could take a closer look, the team started shooting again. Every time the bullets loaded in the red light magazine hit, a ball of flames would explode. In just a few seconds, the entire nest was ignited. A lot of squeaking sounds came from inside, and then the rats were covered in flames. Then they rushed out of the nest, but the bullets almost became a curtain wall of fire rain. As long as one mouse was hit by the bullet, the flames would devour the surrounding ones together. The huge stitched rat inside also rolled out of the nest. Its body was undoubtedly much stronger. Although the explosion could cut off its body, it was not the fatal part.
"coming."
"Kill, annihilate!"
"Sturdy flesh and blood."
Just when everyone thought that the stitched rat might break through, the captain pulled out his dagger. The dagger flashed with the same ominous red light as the magazine, and stabbed it out with his backhand!
In an instant, the sutured mouse felt as if it had been cut by dozens of sharp knives and split into several pieces. Immediately afterwards, the remaining team members also took out a metal tube connected to the clothes from their backs and aimed it at the sutured mouse. White high-pressure liquid sprayed out from the tube, completely cutting it into pieces.
"Tear it apart!"
With the captain's roar, these team members rushed towards the nest together. Guns, whip blades, daggers - all kinds of weapons emerged one after another, smashing the entire nest into pieces.
Of course, Lu Ning and others did not dare to charge so fiercely, and only slowly touched the fire after it gradually became smaller. This nest has corroded the outside of the pipe and extended inward for more than ten meters, but it has now been burned to coke. Lu Ning walked into the black coal and looked at it, then squatted down and touched a broken "wooden stick".
The white ring flashed slightly, that's all. Lu Ning understood, took out the Destiny Sawtooth and cut off the wooden stick. This unknown monster was not even enough for the symbol to be filled in. It only had an arm left, and a piece of carbonized skin was held between its fingers.
"It's best not to touch anything here." Xin Mi reminded.
"It doesn't matter, my ability still needs to be verified by touch. It is no longer a threat." Lu Ning threw the monster to the ground, crushed it with one foot, and then continued walking inside. Many rats in the nest were also burned to death. Although these were monsters, they were still living things.
"Luckily there is such a small team to open the way, otherwise we would not be able to deal with so many rats." Deng Zhiyi said with lingering fear, "This place is really more dangerous than imagined."
"I saw the stairs." After everyone passed the nest, Qian Yipeng pointed to another passage, where there was indeed a familiar stairwell at the end. There is a "65" sign hanging on the top of the stairs, and reminders such as "There is a rat" and "Turn back quickly" are written in red on the walls on both sides.
These reminders are indeed correct, and that strange team solved a lot of troubles. Lu Ning picked up her phone and took a photo as a record of the fonts. However, these did not have Long Tiangang's familiar handwriting.
"Should we continue going forward or return to the elevator?" Yan Zidan asked.
"The elevator is ready, but we have to be careful. There is no team to clear the way for us this time." Lu Ning sighed.
Returning to the elevator door, I didn't encounter any other mice scurrying out along the way. But when the elevator door opened, everyone was stunned.
There was a gentle warm light inside and it was very clean. The most important thing was that there were three middle-aged women carrying vegetable baskets and a young man wearing an administrator's uniform, talking and laughing.
"Ah...which floor is this...what's going on with all this on you?" A woman exclaimed when she saw the equipment on everyone's body. The three of them hurriedly retreated to the corner of the elevator, while the administrator He frowned slightly: "Which floor are you residents on?" At the same time, he had already taken out his mobile phone and started making a call.
"Hey, Xin Mi, what's going on?" Deng Zhiyi asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Xin Mi shook his head, "There shouldn't be anyone here who hasn't noticed yet - go in and take a look."
"What are you doing? Hey!"
Of course, the young administrator couldn't stop everyone. Long Tiangang blocked him aside with one arm: "Young man, you can call the outside. Even we can't ask for it. If you can get through, it will be much easier for us. ”
After Lu Ning walked into the elevator, she looked up and looked around. The condition of the elevator looked different from the previous two times, but it still had the same internal structure, except this time there were fewer words and cracks. She glanced at the elevator button again. If she didn't look at the runes behind it, the floor corresponding to the button would be the ninth floor.
"Li Wenyue, should we do something?" Qian Yipeng asked.
"unnecessary."
The elevator closed slowly, and the administrator started to make a call while protecting the three women. Of course, the call could not be made no matter what.
"Strange...strange!"
The elevator was still running, and after stopping, it opened the ninth floor. The three women immediately dragged the administrator outside, but no one paid attention. As soon as they ran out of the elevator, they rushed towards the corridor like flying. Lu Ning quickly stepped out and blocked the elevator door with her foot to prevent it from closing again.
This is a normal apartment building layout like the tenth floor. But the difference is that looking out from the elevator, there is a faint red light in the corridor on the left. After Lu Ning waited for a moment, a sudden flash of red light appeared, and a bright red bead appeared directly opposite the elevator door. Five tentacles composed of countless black dots extended around it, grabbing the wall of the corridor. It looked like just a bead, but Lu Ning clearly felt a line of sight. She quickly withdrew her feet, and the elevator door slowly closed. At the last second of closing, the red bead appeared in front of the elevator door. The strong red light only flickered in the elevator for a second before being closed. blocked by the door.
Even though it was only a second, everyone was already breaking into a cold sweat.
Lu Ning pressed the button and started screening runes again. And Deng Zhiyi finally let out a breath from the tension just now: "What the hell...we have never seen such a thing up there..."
"What do you think we have a chance of winning against that red bead just now?" Long Tiangang asked.
"No, I don't want to fight a completely unknown ghost." Lu Ning thought about the buttons, chose a sequence and pressed them, and the elevator started moving again.
"Just now..." Yan Zidan wiped his forehead, "I was almost scared to death."
"It seems that there are abnormal existences on every level. Isn't there Wang Zhongnan's Yan Meng who was killed by something in the bathtub?" Lu Ning said.
