Chapter 8: The Will to Live

Trotting all the way back to the corridor, Nie Yuqian and Ye Xuanyi were panting against the wall.

Seeing Du Chao's panicked expression, the two of them trembled, and Nie Yuqian asked nervously, "How is it?" ”

Du Chao subconsciously shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The situation is not good, I saw three corpses in the elevator, as if they had been attacked by ferocious beasts, and the neck and chest were like wounds caused by minions. The elevator is not working, continue to take the stairs. We've got to pick things up, are you guys okay? ”

"I'm okay, what about Xuanyi?"

"Let's go." Ye Xuanyi bit her lip and dragged her trembling legs to continue walking.

The three of them rested for a while on the ninth floor, climbed up to the fifteenth floor in one breath, Du Chao waved his hand to signal the two to retreat, stepped forward alone, took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the stairwell, and saw that there was nothing unusual in the corridor, so he signaled the two to follow.

"1528 is ahead, hurry up."

Du Chao said hello, and Nie Yuqian and Ye Xuanyi ran to their safe house as fast as they could.

Insert the card, open the door, and lock it on the back.

The sound of "clicking" closing the door sounded crisp and pleasant, giving people a great sense of security, and with the closed door, it felt as if it was isolated from the threat of the outside world, Ye Xuanyi held Nie Yuqian's palm and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Climbing up the fifteenth floor on foot from the first floor, the intense exercise exhausted all the strength of the two long-legged beauties, and as soon as they entered the door, they sat limply on the ground and could not stand up again.

It is a luxurious suite, with a walk-in closet and a small living room with a small sofa and a bedroom with two single beds and two bedside tables, and no large items to move.

The pouring rain outside the window showed no signs of stopping, and the strange blood rain enveloped the whole city like a red mist, and the streets were in shambles, and dozens of cars of all sizes collided with each other in a series of rear-end collisions.

Nie Yuqian panted and tried to support her body to stand up, picked up the mineral water on the coffee table and handed it to Ye Xuanyi, who was paralyzed on the ground, turned to Du Chao and said, "Are we going to wait here until the mission is over?" ”

"I'm afraid it won't be so lucky," Du Chao shook his head, "With the number of those beasts, it's only a matter of time before they find us." ”

"How many of them are there?"

Du Chao pointed out the window, "There are a lot of them, all over the street." ”

Ye Xuanyi's body shook and asked in a panic, "Where did they come from?" ”

"You've seen Resident Evil, right?"

"You mean ......"

"That's right, it's this damn blood rain that has mutated all the people on the street into monsters, and we are the targets of their hunting," Du Chao said and sighed, "I'm afraid it's not easy to survive for seventy-two hours." ”

Nie Yuqian barely squeezed out a smile and said with relief: "We are in the upper echelons of the hotel, and those monsters should not find us for a while." ”

"I hope so," Du Chao clapped his hands, pointed to the sofa and said: "Two beauties, do me a favor, push the sofa over against the door, and resist for a while if the monster finds out." ”

"Let me breathe a sigh of relief first." Nie Yuqian gasped for breath, waited for Ye Xuanyi to drink the water, then swallowed two large mouthfuls, and wiped the overflowing water from the corner of her mouth.

Nie Yuqian took two sips and handed it to Ye Xuanyi, Ye Xuanyi sat cross-legged on the ground and took a sip of water, patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, we ran fast and left the restaurant, otherwise we would have died." ”

"Yes," Nie Yuqian said and glanced at Du Chao, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Fortunately, we have Du Superman." ”

Du Chao raised his eyebrows, "Beauty, this is intuition." ”

"Thank you for your instincts."

"If we fail in our mission...... Ye Xuanyi looked up at Du Chao and asked hesitantly, "What will happen if we can't survive for seventy-two hours?" ”

Du Chao sighed: "If you fail the mission, you will die in the game, I saw the corpses of three people in the elevator with my own eyes, covered in blood, and the death was very miserable...... As for the real world, it's hard to say, maybe brain dead, or ......"

"Or what?" Ye Xuanyi asked eagerly.

Du Chao pretended to spread his hands easily, "Or like the scene in Inception, the consciousness is trapped in the game and can never get out, and the body becomes a vegetative person." ”

"No, I don't want to be a vegetative person." Ye Xuanyi shook her head and shouted.

"No one wants to die, we have to live well." Du Chao licked his lips, unscrewed another bottle of mineral water, raised his head and took a sip of water, "This mission is to test our will to survive, speaking of which, the beasts on the street are at least better than the zombies in the city, and it is terrifying to become zombies." ”

Ye Xuanyi thought of the bloody and terrifying scene of zombies in the movie, subconsciously shrunk her neck, turned her head and drilled into Nie Yuqian's arms. Nie Yuqian reached out and grabbed Ye Xuanyi's shoulder, and gently patted her twice to signal that she didn't need to panic.

"Let's get to work." Du Chao put down the mineral water bottle in his hand, got up and beckoned the two long-legged beauties to move the sofa.

The three of them worked together to push all the large items in the room to the door and against the door of the room, which made them feel a little safer.

Nie Yuqian and Ye Xuanyi walked into the room arm in arm, sat on the edge of the bed and talked, and Du Chao stood alone by the window looking at the street.

"Ah, I'm so hungry, the more I drink water, the hungrier I get." Ye Xuanyi fiddled with her phone casually and shouted, "I miss my steak and fruit salad so much, can't this damn mission wait for us to have dinner before posting it?" ”

"Maybe that's exactly what the game was designed for." Du Chao turned his head to Nie Yuqian and Ye Xuanyi and said, "From the time we passed the test, the damn game said to go to the World Trade Plaza to claim the reward, and then in a short period of time, the survival mission was released, which was obviously an interlocking series of missions. You think, the World Trade Plaza has a huge flow of people, and it is an indiscriminate blood rain mutation, and the chances of surviving for 72 hours can be said to be very small. ”

Nie Yuqian nodded in agreement, and Ye Xuanyi kicked her calves hatefully and shouted, "This is simply a trap." ”

"The task will become more and more difficult in the future, at least for now, our situation is not bad."

"It's not bad and it's not good," Nie Yuqian sighed, "We are trapped, seventy-two hours, three days and two nights, there is only water and no food in the room, we are going to be hungry for three days?" ”

"Such a big star-rated hotel must have a back kitchen," Du Chao smiled slightly, "This is also the reason why I chose the hotel in the first place......

"Yes, yes." Without waiting for Du Chao to finish speaking, Ye Xuanyi nodded busily, "Now call room service, even if you can't deliver food, at least you can ask which floor the restaurant and kitchen are on." ”

Du Chao nodded and said, "You can try it, call the general service desk first and ask how the situation is outside." ”

Ye Xuanyi jumped down, grabbed the landline microphone on the bedside table, and quickly dialed the reserved service desk number.

As time passed by second by second, the original joyful expression gradually dimmed, and it was not until forty-five seconds that Ye Xuanyi shook her head weakly: "No one answered." ”

"It seems that the situation is more serious than we thought, and the hall on the first floor should have fallen."

"There should be an introduction to star-rated hotels on the review network and travel network." Nie Yuqian reminded.

"That's right," Ye Xuanyi's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to swipe her phone to search for the information of the hotel, "Fortunately, the Internet can still be used...... I found out that the hotel restaurant and kitchen are on the third floor. ”
