Chapter 13: Life and Death on the Stairs

With a sound of breaking the air, the ghost-faced demon spider blocking the stairwell on the eighth floor, its abdomen more than half a meter long suddenly exploded into several pieces, and yellow-green slime flowed all over the ground.

Zhong Lingxin stepped forward, plunged the dagger into the back of the dead beast, and pried it hard, picking out a pink blood crystal.

The blood crystal crossed a pink parabola in the air, was caught by Xiao Bai who was squatting on Zhong Lingxin's shoulder, and put it into the backpack behind Zhong Lingxin.

As time passed, more and more ghost-faced spiders stopped on the stairs.

Moreover, these alien beasts have evolved to become stronger because they have devoured a lot of people.

Zhong Lingxin's speed of progress also slowed down, she had to rush to the rooftop as soon as possible, time was running out.

Just as Zhong Lingxin got up and was about to leave, a group of people ran out of the passage of the stairs, they looked panicked and held chairs, paper knives, and even fire axes, all kinds of weapons they could find.

A fat man who was sweaty, pale, and a little staggering when he walked stopped Zhong Lingxin.

"Stop! Tell me, what's going on downstairs now, and are there monsters too? ”

The middle-aged man in front of Zhong Lingxin who was full of brains was called Zheng Dahai. Because he is the manager of the administrative department, the people in the company are smiling at him, so he is used to being arrogant.

Zheng Dahai looked at Zhong Lingxin's work clothes with disdain, subconsciously ignored the unpleasant yellow-green liquid stained on the clothes, and commanded Zhong Lingxin.

A group of people around Zheng Dahai also looked at Zhong Lingxin expectantly.

Although someone had already noticed the crossbow in Zhong Lingxin's hand, there was a strange monkey on his shoulder.

In the midst of a panicked crowd, her face was calm, as if she was taking a leisurely walk.

This sense of disobedience makes her stand out unusually well.

Zhong Lingxin didn't want to pay attention to this group of people, and he was about to cross Zheng Dahai in a flash and continue to go upstairs.

Zheng Dahai couldn't let Zhong Lingxin go like this, and hurriedly wanted to grab her arm.

But Zhong Lingxin dodged sideways.

Zheng Dahai was already frightened by these monsters, but now he was ignored by a small cleaner, and he was so angry that he wanted to continue to entangle.

Zhong Lingxin's footsteps paused, as if he thought of something, and turned around and glanced at the crowd under the stairs with a cold gaze.

The pity in her eyes flashed, but it was quickly replaced by indifference.

"There are more monsters downstairs, and there is only one way to die."

Zhong Lingxin didn't care about the reactions of these people, turned around and continued to go straight to the rooftop.

That indifferent and cold gaze made Zheng Dahai suddenly burst into a white sweat, and his whole body was cold, so that he didn't dare to continue to fight against Zhong Lingxin.

The group discussed for less than a minute, and then split into two groups.

A team of people, led by Zheng Dahai, thought that the strange woman before was not credible, and that they should go downstairs to have a look and go out to find rescue;

The other group of people, led by a beautiful young woman in professional attire, followed Zhong Lingxin all the way to the rooftop.

The young woman who proposed to follow Zhong Lingxin caught up with Zhong Lingxin out of breath, wanting to get close to this mysterious and somewhat strange person and get some useful information.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Xiaolei, the head of administration. What's your name? How long have you been in the company, why haven't I seen you before? ”

Seeing that Zhong Lingxin was silent, Xiao Xiaolei was not angry, and continued to change the topic and chat.

"Several people in our office were bitten to death by that strange spider, the whole building was without power, the phone and cell phone couldn't get through, and all you could see was white fog outside the building."

"A spider the size of a palm, densely packed. Xiao Kong was bitten by a spider monster, and his arms were swollen like buns, and people couldn't walk. I followed Director Zheng downstairs to find a doctor. ”

Xiao Xiaolei was a little out of breath, and she was about to lose her words, so she stopped.

Xiao Xiaolei's mind flashed a pair of eyes looking down at them condescendingly.

When Xiao Xiaolei used to read novels, she always read adjectives such as "eyes shining" and "blazing", but she always laughed at such a situation.

Today she finally understood. The girl who walked in front of her didn't really shine with her eyes, but they were so bright that it was impossible to look at them directly.

When you look into her eyes, it seems that the whole world becomes bright, and all the thoughts in your heart cannot be hidden.

Compared with the unknown downstairs, Xiao Xiaolei trusts her instincts more, and following this mysterious woman makes her feel more secure.

Screams came from the staircase doors on all floors, screaming frantically, wailing miserably, and begging for mercy.

It makes people want to plug their ears and not listen to these tragic voices.

It didn't take long for more and more people to escape through the staircase door, everyone looking embarrassed, several of them were bitten by the ghost-faced demon spider, and yellow-green liquid was oozing from the wounds.

Every time Xiao Xiaolei was stopped and questioned, she repeated what Zhong Lingxin said just now.

She was secretly glad of her decision, and continued to follow Zhong Lingxin firmly.

"Sister Xiaolei, how long do we have to go? I can't walk anymore! Wang Xiaoxiao, the assistant behind Xiao Xiaolei, shouted weakly.

Xiao Xiaolei shook her head helplessly, looking at a group of them, they had only climbed a few floors, and they were already out of breath. Especially the design department, which often stays up late and works overtime, has even worse physical fitness, and is two floors behind them.

Xiao Xiaolei looked up at Zhong Lingxin, who was one floor away from her, and secretly cursed in her heart that it was really a monster.

The person in front of him, who had climbed more than a dozen floors, could still maintain a steady and sustained speed, and he didn't even breathe a little heavier.

And her combat effectiveness is off the charts, okay, this is an ordinary cleaner, at first glance, she is a specially trained warrior!

The crossbow in the woman's hand is powerful and misses, accurately shooting the monsters that stand in the way. Even if a monster got close, it was easily cut in half by her swing of the knife.

These monsters that make them creepy, killing them is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables in front of her.

She seemed to pick out something shiny from the monster's body, and that thing flickered in the air, and she happily put it into her backpack, so that Xiao Xiaolei didn't see what it was.

Xiao Xiaolei looked at the battle in front of her in shock, and her legs, which were a little sore, felt a little weak.

She couldn't help but be a little envious that the little monkey on Zhong Lingxin's shoulder could still wag its tail leisurely.

*****

On the other end, Zheng Dahai hurriedly walked downstairs with more than a dozen people.

The bitten hole was held by two colleagues, one left and one right, and fell far behind. The wound in the small hole continued to leak yellow-green pus, and he lost consciousness all over his body, only his eyes could blink twice.

It is still a peaceful pre-apocalyptic time, and humanity has not yet completely degenerated. So, they haven't left this burden behind.

Suddenly, a scream came from downstairs, and countless ghost-faced demon spiders poured upstairs like a tide.

Zheng Dahai was so frightened by this terrifying scene that he shouted, and the fat on his face began to tremble: "Quickly block these monsters, who, whoever pulls me away, I will promote him." ”

However, the people around him were scared into a cold sweat, and they all began to run frantically upwards when they had no time to pay attention to him.

Several people looked at Zheng Dahai with resentful eyes, regretting that they did not follow Zhong Lingxin.

If they hadn't listened to Zheng Dahai, they would have run upstairs a long time ago, where would they encounter so many monsters.

The escape of the crowd is just like a sentence circulated by Zhong Lingxin in his previous life: "It is not the enemy who you want to win, but your own kind." ”

Whenever someone falls, the monster moves upwards a few points slower.

Zheng Dahai's obese body was raised because of pampering, and he could only climb up slowly. This is another reason why he chose to go downstairs, which is much easier than going upstairs.

Seeing that the people around him were about to overtake him, Zheng Dahai's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he violently pushed a woman next to him backwards.

The woman, before she could let out an exclamation, was quickly covered by the "carpet". In the blink of an eye, only a bloodshot skeleton remained.

The rest of them were terrified, panic had taken over all their minds.

Except for Zhou Fangfang, who was at the corner of the first floor of Zheng Dahai, no one noticed this scene.

Zhou Fang was stunned, and then he climbed up harder.

The two people who were holding Xiao Kong and left behind also let go of the hand holding Xiao Kong and fled with the panicked flow of people.
