"Ding dong~ The third floor is here!"
A soft electronic mechanical female voice sounded, and as the elevator door slowly opened, a fresh breath came to the face. Unlike the two floors above, the ventilation system on this floor was obviously always on.
This time, no one moved. Yin Yaxiu, who was standing next to the button, quickly blocked the elevator door so that they could retreat at any time if they encountered danger.
"Captain, there is still no one on this floor!"
At this time Wen Ling suddenly said that as soon as the elevator door opened, she knew what was going on outside.
"This is impossible."
The scout soldier didn't believe it. He investigated carefully and found that there was indeed no human movement outside.
"Let's go out and take a look first." Li Xu clenched his gun and signaled to his teammates.
The elevator has reached the bottom. This is the last floor. If no clues are found, then this rescue mission may really be false news.
"You see, those survivors did live here."
This floor is slightly brighter than the two floors above. In addition to the emergency lights in the aisles, there are several incandescent tubes overhead. With the cold white light, everyone could clearly see the situation on the negative fourth floor.
In the hall, the tables, chairs and furniture were all piled in the corners, but the floor was densely covered with sheets and quilts. All kinds of daily necessities are placed everywhere, and ropes are pulled horizontally and vertically in the air, with all kinds of sheets and clothes hanging on them, isolating the originally not particularly large venue into small, narrow spaces. .
The entire underground area is like a disaster concentration camp.
"A lot of people used to live here," Li Xu casually flipped through the quilts and actually pulled out a sexy photo album from inside.
This photo album had obviously been read many times. Li Xu threw it aside and continued to look through it.
"There are men and women, as well as old people and children," he said, pointing to the clothes of obviously different sizes, as well as the toys and dentures left in the corner.
"It's a pity that there are so many things left but no one alive!"
Lin Qingqing looked around: "Judging from the use of daily necessities and bedding, these people should not have disappeared at the same time!"
"You're right," Li Xu turned over a few more bunks and continued: "At the most, there were probably more than 600 people living here at the same time, but they should have all disappeared one after another."
"That's strange. It's so safe here. There are no zombies or mutant beasts. Where can they go?"
"Did they leave in batches on their own?" a team member asked suspiciously.
"Impossible!" Li Xu immediately rejected his idea after hearing this.
"Why is it impossible?"
"Because that elevator is the only exit, and only specific access cards can enter and exit," Lin Qingqing said, pointing to the elevator.
Everyone looked at each other. Isn't this a typical disappearance in a secret room? And there are still more than 600 living people missing.
"There is only one possibility now. They must have been taken somewhere," Li Xu said as he stood up and looked around.
"It seems that the person who sent the distress signal didn't know where these people were, so he put his hope in us to find those who were taken away?"
Lin Qingqing snorted softly and said, "I didn't expect it to be a game within a game."
"Let's search separately and see if there are any clues," Li Xu waved the team members to disperse.
Qingmang Xiao also separated and searched everywhere.
The indoor area of the entire negative fourth floor is larger than that of the upper two floors, and the layout is quite complex.
In addition to the central hall and the two bathrooms in the corner, there are many large and small cubicles around. Some store paper archives and materials, some store rare plant specimens, and some store many experiments. Equipment and tools, some used and some unused.
Yin Yaxiu looked through the equipment with interest, and put it into her big backpack when she found something she was interested in.
The light source here is limited. There is no light in some compartments, so only
Can rely on a flashlight.
There were seven or eight flashlights in total, and the white lampposts hit the wall, forming round bright spots.
Suddenly someone saw a dark shadow in one of the bright spots. The dark shadow flashed very fast and then disappeared.
"Who? Who's there?"
The soldier who discovered the shadow was shooting around with a flashlight, and his voice instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"What's wrong, what did you find?" Li Xu was the first to arrive.
"I saw a black shadow flash by, but I'm not sure if I saw it wrong."
Just as he was talking, a shadow flashed again in the light spot of his flashlight, and this time Li Xu also saw it.
"Everyone, please pay attention, there is an unknown object moving nearby!" Li Xu shouted.
In an instant, all the soldiers put down what they were holding, and then quickly gathered together, back to back, to guard the surroundings.
"Little bell?" Lin Qingqing looked at Wen Ling.
"Captain, I didn't find anything," Wen Ling said, shaking her head.
Wen Ling's superpower can not only distinguish between humans and zombies, but any moving object cannot escape her "eyes". So if she said she didn't find anything, then it must be nothing.
"It's not a human, is it a ghost?" Qu Xingchi couldn't help but shuddered.
Everyone was silent now, and the shadows that appeared out of nowhere made the already dark space even more weird.
The Qingmang team also quickly moved closer together. Yin Yaxiu held Wen Ling in one hand and held a flashlight in the other. Suddenly, her flashlight was fixed in one direction.
"over there!"
Everyone looked at her together. Yin Yaxiu's flashlight shone farther than an ordinary flashlight. As her hand moved, a faint black shadow appeared in the light spot on the wall.
This black shadow moved up and down in the light spot of the flashlight, sometimes on the wall, sometimes on the roof, sometimes flashing very fast, sometimes stopping there motionless.
What is this? Everyone looked around, but unfortunately nothing was found before the flashlight and the wall. It felt like the shadow appeared out of thin air.
"It, it, it's transparent!" Qu Xingchi suddenly pointed at a spot in the air and shouted, "Ghost! It's really a ghost!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingqing immediately came to Qu Xingchi's position, looked from his angle, and found a translucent object, but before she could see clearly, the object disappeared again.
"Minmin, use the thunder net!"
"Understood Captain!"
Lei Min clasped her hands together and then separated them. A fine thunder net appeared in her hands. She was the best at catching transparent people!
When the translucent object appeared again, Lei Min controlled the thunder net and pounced on it.
"Hey, there's nothing!" I thought I could catch something, but I didn't expect it.
"Is it non-conductive or insubstantial?" Lin Qingqing just watched with her own eyes as the transparent object passed through Lei Min's mine net without any damage.
"I'll try."
She moved her fingers, and the light blue ice mist condensed instantly, dividing into wisps of filaments as if alive, and then wrapped around the transparent shadow from all directions.
This was the first time Lin Qingqing used ice mist after reaching the fourth level. At this time, her ice mist had completely changed its appearance. This ice mist sometimes looks like fog, sometimes like smoke, sometimes like sand or snow. The shape it takes depends on what Lin Qingqing wants it to do.
"The captain's control over supernatural powers has become stronger again." Lei Min looked at the light blue ice mist. Only she could completely see this subtle change.
After several consecutive experiments, Lin Qingqing finally captured traces of transparent shadows with ice fog.
"Look, has the speed of this shadow slowed down?" The scouts of the third team first noticed the difference.
After the shadow slowed down, everyone finally saw its appearance clearly: it was about half a person tall, and the outline looked like a woman with long hair. In addition, not to mention the nose and eyes, they even distinguished the front and back. Not sure.
At this time, it was shrouded in light blue ice mist, floating so quietly in the air. People surrounded it, and they didn't know what to do with it for a while.
Perhaps after being watched enough, the shadow that has attracted enough attention continues to move. But this time it no longer wandered around, but floated regularly, stopped, floated again, and stopped again.
"Do you think it wants to take us somewhere?" Qu Xingchi said with some uncertainty, looking at the shadows floating in the air.
He is no longer afraid now, and even has the mind to figure out the shadow's thoughts.
"Follow me and we'll see." Lin Qingqing was the first to follow after saying that.
"Let's go, let's follow." Li Xu said to the team members.
In this way, a group of people cautiously followed the shadow and walked around on the negative fourth floor. After two circles, they finally arrived at a lounge in the northwest corner.
This lounge is very small in area and not much in general. There is only a one-meter-wide single bed, a small table mounted on the wall, and a small square stool.
The shadow circled around the room, finally stopping in front of a wall, and then disappeared in full view of everyone.
"Gone?"
"Disappeared??"
"Why is it a wall again?" Lin Qingqing walked forward. Her ice mist still stayed on the wall, but her shadow disappeared.
"Is there a door behind this?" Seeing the wall, everyone suddenly thought of this possibility.
Yin Yaxiu did not hesitate to do the technical job of finding a door. She first touched the entire wall carefully, and finally came to the small metal table.
"This wall is indeed a door, and the control switch is on this small table. But the door outside this door is different. No matter what method we use now, as long as the door is opened, the person or something inside will be alarmed. , are you all ready?" She looked at Li Xu and said.
Li Xu paused after hearing this and did not make an immediate decision. The things behind this had far exceeded their previous expectations. He had to tell Captain Yu about the situation first so that they could prepare first.
