Chapter 38: The Rosewood Hotel
Because of the government's inaction, the whole city of Heaton is enveloped in an eerie atmosphere, and people are beginning to become terrified all day long, and some people can't stand the pressure and start to let themselves go. Rioters in the slums took to the streets to smash and wreak havoc, and some small traders were so affected that they had no choice but to close their doors to escape the scourge.
The order of Heaton City is also chaotic, no one knows whether the next person to disappear will be himself, but the cult that used to be like a rat crossing the street has grown like a dead tree in spring, even if the Heaton City police can not stop this situation with all their might, they have no choice but to give up the security of the slum area and turn to the safety of the rich area.
Of course, this decision also caused the level of law and order in the slums to plummet, and the mob became even more lawless, burning and looting everywhere. Overnight, the slums became a living hell.
It's just that so many things have changed, and the only thing that hasn't changed is the bizarre disappearance, which still happens day after day, from a few hundred people at the beginning, to a large-scale disappearance, and it is not unusual for thousands, or even tens of thousands of people to disappear in one day.
……
"Gone?" Carl opened the last page, and when he found that the follow-up content was gone, he looked helpless, and he wanted to know more.
However, these newspapers also gave him a slight understanding of the days before the disaster, and it can be imagined that people's thoughts and emotions turned from normal to crazy in those thirty days, as if all human emotions were infinitely magnified, and finally turned into chaos.
"What are you looking at?" Kiss walked up to Carl at some point and asked suspiciously.
"Nothing, some pre-disaster newspapers." Karl put the newspaper back in its place and replied.
"Oh......" Kiss nodded, not saying anything, she focused on her surroundings.
Because of the strange environment in the lobby, except for Carl, the other two are more vigilant, they are not like Carl who directly observes ghosts with vision, and the methods they use are fundamentally different from the methods used by Carl.
"Where's the radio room?" Carl asked, walking over to the two of them.
"I don't know right now, but we can go to the customer service counter and check some information." Ji Si shook her head at first, and then pointed to the half-moon counter a few dozen meters away.
"You are on guard here, and my sister and I will go there to check some documents." Kiss said to Carl.
Lest Carl not take it to heart, she added: "Don't let your guard down, the unknown of ghosts is far beyond our imagination, and we must deal with it with all our might." ”
"Understood." Although Carl knew that he didn't have to worry about ghosts sneaking near him, he could only pretend to obey his orders in order to reassure his teammates.
Seeing that Carl looked like he was being taught, Ji Si was much more relieved and said, "Then you should be careful yourself." ”
After speaking, the two walked over with guns and did not leave their hands for a moment, looking like they were facing a great enemy.
"It's not unreasonable for them to be so worried, after all, they are not as lucky as me, they have a special pair of eyes." Carl sighed in his heart, he suddenly found that he was much luckier than the average person, and the others had been living in the shadow of ghosts because they had not been able to see through their vision.
You must know that the unknown is the most frightening, there is a famous saying that "the oldest and strongest emotion of human beings is fear; And the oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown. ”
It can be seen how much human beings are afraid of things that have no appearance and exist in nothingness, and once this kind of ghost thing is materialized, the fear of ghost things like Karl will be greatly reduced.
Unfortunately, apart from Carl, there is no survivor who has heard of anyone who can see ghosts visually.
Carl was sighing, when a sudden sensation made him look outside, "What is it?" He looked at the outside world through the glass curtain wall in confusion, but found nothing.
"I always feel like I've forgotten something important?" He covered his right side of his head with a confused face, and the feeling made him keep his chest closed and sulky, and it was too hard to work.
This is not the first time that this feeling of innocence has been encountered, and he has also encountered this strange peeping before, and it is difficult to say what is secretly peeking at him.
Because every time he became alert, the feeling would fade like a tidal wave, and it would disappear quickly.
It makes him look like a persecuted paranoid patient, and he is paranoid all day long, and people who don't know him will think that he is a severely mentally ill person at a glance.
Carl shook his slightly aching head fiercely, and then he returned to a normal feeling somewhat, "Whew...... Call...... ...... "He gasped for breath a few times.
"Found it!"
Just as Carl was startled, a familiar voice came from his ears, and he turned his head to look over there, only to see Kiss walking over with a few papers.
"What is this?" He asked.
Kiss smiled and said, "This is a map of the facilities at Rosewood Hotel, this is the location of the radio room, and with it, it is convenient for us to go anywhere in the hotel." ”
"Is it that amazing? Show me. Karl laughed.
Kiss handed Karl a few documents, and he immediately looked curious as soon as he took them.
Really......
Kiss is right, this map illustrates the distribution of facilities at Rosewood Hotels, so there is no need to be blind. Carl was overjoyed.
"Have you finished reading?"
"Well, this picture is really helpful for search and rescue." Carl gave her back the figure.
"But before we can do that, we have to decide which way to go up, which is to use the lift? Or run the stairs? Once again, Karl asked a question that made everyone's heads go.
This problem is not easy for the two to decide, if it is to take the lift, then there are too many uncertain factors, first of all, when the elevator is out, the sound of the door opening does not know how many ghosts will be attracted to come, if there are no ghosts outside the door, it is good, but the three of them will not pin their lives on such an ethereal thing, and more importantly, if the elevator fails halfway, then "everything will be fine".
It's not necessarily good to run the stairs, the stairs are too narrow, and if there are ghosts blocking the way in the middle, then you can't have any other way than to repel it with flash bullets, because you can't sneak through such a narrow staircase, and if you shoot, then the matter will be even worse, and then you will have to face not only the ghosts in the stairwell, but also the "unknown" attracted by the gunfire on each floor.
