Chapter 9: Death and Death Together
"Three floors."
Du Chao said a word, Nie Yuqian and Ye Xuanyi looked at each other, staring at each other without saying a word.
The main service desk on the first floor did not answer, obviously it was more than lucky, the third floor was too close to the first floor, and it was very likely that they were also attacked by those mutant monsters, they took the initiative to leave the temporarily safe fifteenth floor room to go to the third floor to forage for food, it was difficult to ensure that it was not to send sheep into the tiger's mouth.
"The third floor is too dangerous, I think it's better to forget it, seventy-two hours of starvation will not kill people, we should be able to hold on to water." Nie Yuqian said.
Rather than throwing yourself into the net, starving and starving, three days of patience will pass.
"Yes," Ye Xuanyi nodded in agreement, "It's time to lose weight on a diet." ”
Du Chao shook his head with a smile and said, "You really want to think about it." We are in the world of death, not running brothers, this is a terrifying world where people will die at any time, and it is not a variety show that can survive by hiding and seeking. Not to mention starving for 72 hours, even if we are hungry for 7 or 8 hours, we will completely lose our normal mobility, and then there will be no other way to go except to sit and wait. ”
"Didn't you say it was safe for us to stay on the upper floors of the hotel?" Ye Xuanyi asked in disbelief.
"It's temporary safety, it doesn't mean it's safe all the time, the world of death won't let us pass easily, and the corpse lying on its side in the elevator is the best example." Du Chao raised his head and took another sip of water, and sighed: "It won't be easy to survive for seventy-two hours, and it's a good idea to stay in the room and do nothing." Show me my phone. ”
"Are you really going?" Ye Xuanyi asked tentatively and handed over her mobile phone.
"Well, while I still have the physical strength, I have to try it, and I can run when I meet those beasts, otherwise it will be difficult for us to find food when we are hungry for two days and we can't crawl anymore, and then we will really be dead."
"Why don't you call the police?" Ye Xuanyi said unrelentingly.
Du Chao shook his head, "If I guessed correctly, this is virtual reality, the task only exists in our brains, and it is isolated from the outside world." Just like what we experienced in the subway before, headshots and deaths don't exist in reality and haven't happened. Maybe the three of us are sitting in a western restaurant waiting to eat steak. ”
"Let's try it." Ye Xuanyi yelled at Nie Yuqian Nunu and motioned for her to call the police.
Nie Yuqian agrees with Du Chao's statement in her heart, but Ye Xuanyi's words also have some truth, anyway, it doesn't cost to dial a demon spirit, in case there is an unexpected surprise.
As a result, of course, the demon spirit is not working, and the voice prompt cannot be connected.
Ye Xuanyi tried several times without giving up, but each time it was prompted that she could not get through.
"Looks like you guessed right, we're quarantined." Ye Xuanyi sighed in disappointment.
Du Chao carefully inspected the pictures of the hotel restaurant in his mobile phone, did not let go of any detail, and finally closed his eyes and replayed the reading picture in his brain, until he was all familiar with it, and then handed the mobile phone back to Ye Xuanyi.
"We'll go with you." Nie Yuqian got up and said.
"I'll go alone, you stay in the room."
"We are a team, of course we have to be together," Nie Yuqian said eagerly, "We can't let you take risks alone." ”
"Yes." Ye Xuanyi nodded with great determination.
Du Chao shook his head and said: "The goal of the three people is too big, and I can't protect you, in case I fail and can't come back, you can stay in the room honestly, and you can hold on for a little longer." If you're lucky, you'll probably survive seventy-two hours. ”
"If you want to die together," Ye Xuanyi shouted loudly, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Nie Yuqian and Du Chao looking at her strangely, and secretly regretted that she was open-mouthed, and hurriedly added: "If you want to live together, if you fail, Qianqian and I won't be able to last for seventy-two hours, so it's better to let it go." ”
"That's right," Nie Yuqian grabbed Ye Xuanyi's shoulder and nodded in agreement, "Now is not the time to be a hero." ”
"Of course I'm not a hero," Du Chao shook his head helplessly, "If there was food, I wouldn't want to go out to be prey, but we don't have food, and we don't know anything about the current situation, so I have to go out to collect food and intelligence." I'll go out, you stay, it's a risk-sharing. ”
"No," Ye Xuanyi did not hesitate to reject Du Chao's suggestion, "If we fail, we will fail together, maybe failure is to erase our previous memories, maybe just get out of this damn game." ”
"Okay, you don't need to say it, it's decided," Nie Yuqian waved her arm, with a non-negotiable and resolute expression, "We are a team, three people together, live together, and die together." ”
"Okay." Du Chao knew that he couldn't convince the two beauties in front of him, so he nodded helplessly.
"When are we going out?" Ye Xuanyi said.
Du Chao glanced down at the smart bracelet on his left wrist, showing that twenty-eight minutes had passed in the task time, and muttered: "Wait a little longer, there must be chaos under the hotel now." Hey, I think you two have big bags. ”
"It's trending right now." Ye Xuanyi didn't think about it, but after a while, she came back to her senses, and opened her mouth in surprise and shouted at Du Chao: "You don't want to use our bags to package food, do you?" ”
"Or else? There are no grocery bags here. ”
"How do you know no? Packaged food is too unhygienic. ”
"I knew from the moment I entered the door, there were garbage bags, well, the living room outside the door." Du Chao stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, "Would you rather use your own bag to package food or use a garbage bag?" ”
Whether it's a garbage bag or her own makeup bag, Ye Xuanyi feels unhygienic, how can food be stuffed into the bag, just imagining the sour scene of food and cosmetics mixing, she feels goosebumps all over her body, which is completely unacceptable.
"There must be grocery bags in the restaurant." Ye Xuanyi said without giving up.
Du Chao shook his head and said: "Maybe there is, maybe not, even if there is, it will take time to find it, it is a complete waste of time." ”
"Okay." Nie Yuqian grabbed her brown striped LV bag very simply, poured out the items in one go, shook it vigorously twice to make sure that nothing was left behind, and threw it to Du Chao.
Du Chao reached out and grabbed the bag thrown in the air, and just as he wanted to open his mouth to tease Nie Yuqian, the smart bracelet on his wrist suddenly rang. Nie Yuqian and Ye Xuanyi's bracelets also sounded the crisp sound of "Di Di Di" almost at the same time.
The three of them were stunned at the same time, looking at each other.
Du Chao glanced down at the bracelet, and blue text appeared on the display: Lost lamb, congratulations on surviving for thirty minutes, now open the item exchange reward, good luck.
"Item exchange? What is it? Nie Yuqian looked up blankly and asked Du Chao.
"I don't know, it's supposed to be a prop that can help us survive." Du Chao looked a little excited, his fingers quickly slid the interface of the bracelet, and after a while, he burst out with a sentence, "Hold the grass, this is to encourage us to take risks." ”
