According to the previous growth law of strange things, when Zhang Longchu's devoured soul reached the threshold of heat energy absorbed, if he did not immerse his will in the world of strange things, after the time rush caused by the golden dice, he could no longer continue to absorb new soul and heat energy.

And in this predicament, even if Zhang Longchu swallowed enough souls, it was impossible to complete another key condition for the growth of strange things, absorbing the heat energy emitted by enough high-energy fuel.

What's more, even if he tried his best to make the impossible possible and completed the second condition, in the plane war, withdrawing consciousness from the real world for a long time is tantamount to self-defeating, so devouring enough souls of the strange 'world' for the fourth time is already the limit of the benefits that Zhang Longchu can get.

Therefore, when the number of souls he devoured exceeded 350, his heart no longer felt the irrepressible longing for the corpses that were carried out from time to time in the hotel.

By this time, nearly 10% of the 4,500 evacuees at the Eastside Hotel had died.

It stands to reason that a 10% mortality rate in the midst of a war is not excessive, but because the number of dead people has increased over time, the hotel has become a terrible hell at the moment.

Time passed slowly in despair, and before I knew it, in the early morning of the sixteenth day of the trap, the rising sun from the plane of Silent Hill sprinkled its light on the steps of the hotel foyer, revealing blood, mud, and pieces of corpses and bones.

After a fierce battle at night, Zhang Longchu, who was leaning on the door of the hotel and taking a nap, felt the heat of the sun. Yawn and open your eyes and stretch your waist. In a hoarse voice, he casually asked a black security guard covered in sour smell beside him, "Havre, what time is it?" ”

"9:23 minutes. Sir," replied the security guard in a voice of awe, "you can sleep a little longer, and according to the pattern of those living corpses, this morning should be a safe period." ”

"Safe period, ha, that sounds more like a word to describe a woman's special days of the month." Zhang Longchu deliberately made a vulgar joke that he had just learned today, and then stood up, frowning and muttering in contemplation: "The frequency of living corpses is becoming more and more intensive, and yesterday's safe period may no longer be safe today." It's time to prepare..."

I don't know why he said this because he felt that the cheap was enough, and the situation in the hotel was about to get out of control, so he moved the idea of taking his two adoptive sisters to get out alone.

The black security guard who stood up with Zhang Longchu was even more respectful of the far-sightedness shown by the yellow-skinned young man next to him, who was more than ten years younger than himself, who seemed to be unattractive but could turn into a giant wolf and defeat thousands of troops.

Just when he couldn't help but say the emotion in his heart, suddenly the door of the hotel was opened. Jones walked out quickly, stopped beside Zhang Longchu, and patted him on the shoulder, "Good morning, Longchu." How was last night, I heard the sound of 'lively' outside in my hotel room, you must have felt very 'fulfilled'. ”

"I had a really 'lively' night last night. But it shouldn't be as 'full' as when you go to scout the enemy in the afternoon. Zhang Longchu shrugged his shoulders and replied in a mocking tone.

"Yes, I can still maintain my sense of humor in this situation." Jones said with a smile. "Let's go, let's go have breakfast. William wants to see you. He turned around and walked back to the hotel lobby.

"William wants to see me, what's the matter?" Zhang Longchu, who hadn't seen the shadow of the deputy head of the park's security department since he met William a week ago, followed closely behind Jones and walked into the hotel and asked.

"Our strategy is going to change from a passive defensive strategy to an active escape," Jones said with a sigh as he breathed in the disgusting smell of sweat, rotting clothes, and urine.

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Longchu's face changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Escape actively, oh, Jones, do you mean the two of us, or... Well? ”

Although Zhang Longchu's words were still unfinished, the implicit meaning was already very obvious, and after Jones was stunned for a moment, he replied softly in surprise: "You don't want to be a deserter, Long Chu."

And I mean, of course, everyone, all the people alive in this hotel. ”

"Oh, are you kidding, even if the halls of this hotel have become a hotbed of plague and poison gases, at least the thick marble floor will keep the living corpses coming out of the ground;

The sturdy walls around it can also limit the attack of the corpses to a certain range, if you leave here and go into the wilderness, do you think that with the two of us and a group of stragglers, we can protect the lives of 4,000 old and sick people, this is simply murder. Zhang Longchu lowered his voice and said with a frown.

"I know that leaving the fortress-like hotel will be more dangerous for everyone, including us," Jones was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "But this is the only way to survive the death!"

The rescuers have not appeared for a long time, the food has become scarce, and now the hotel has become a large cemetery, and the shadow of despair has loomed over everyone, of course, maybe you who want to be a deserter are the exception, in short, if you don't change your strategy, those who are on the verge of madness are likely to really go crazy.

When the time comes, it may not be the living corpse army of the Yin Culens who will destroy us, but ourselves! ”

Zhang Longchu loves the culture of his home country, is familiar with Chinese classics, and knows quite a lot of the true story of the army and the people in the city killing each other because of the exhaustion of ammunition and food after several ancient cities were besieged, and before the enemy army broke the city, he knew that Jones's words were not unfounded nonsense, and he could no longer say anything when he opened his mouth.

At this time, the two had already walked to the only elevator that was still running, Jones pressed the car, walked into the elevator with Zhang Longchu, and said in a low voice: "Long Chu, believe me, if you run for your life alone, although the target is small, you can only fight without assistance, and it is impossible to have a higher chance of survival than following a large army..."

Speaking of this, she paused slightly, suddenly lowered her head, and continued in a lower voice: "You must know that in this situation, although the large number of people is cumbersome, it also means that there are a lot of 'cannon fodder' that can be used, which actually has more advantages than disadvantages. ”

Hearing the last paragraph Jones said, Zhang Longchu was also shocked, looked sideways at the girl's flickering eyes hidden in her hair, pondered for a few seconds and nodded: "I understand Jones, so what time does the team leave?" ”

"Take a break in the open space outside, hand out food, have a full meal, and then rest for a while, and give everyone a weapon like a chair leg to defend themselves, well, it's going to be at least the afternoon before you go.

You still have time to rest for a while after breakfast, and the hotel gate will be guarded by me. Jones regained his usual smile and shrugged, and as her words landed, the elevator door slowly opened with a 'ding', Zhang Longchu nodded without objection, and walked out of the car with Jones.

In the following time, he hastily ate breakfast and met William, and after expressing his agreement with the strategy of 'abandoning the hotel and actively escaping', he returned to the guest room where he used to live and slept until the afternoon, picked up the strange schoolbag that had been placed in the corner of the room, and went out and walked into the elevator.

For Zhang Longchu, the essence of transferring consciousness into the world of strange things is actually no different from sleep, the only difference is that he will be awakened when he sleeps, and after entering the world of strange things, unless he takes the initiative to get out of it, he can hardly be awakened in reality, which is also the reason why he can immerse himself in the world of strange things all night and night, and never sleep.

However, the essence of the same does not mean psychological recognition, for Zhang Longchu, a good sleep obviously makes him feel more energetic.

The elevator descended to the first floor, Zhang Longchu got out of the car, and happened to meet Jones walking towards him, the girl looked at his face, half serious, half joking and said: "Your complexion is much better than in the morning, so I don't have to worry, I will meet a group of corpses and be dragged back by you." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Longchu smiled silently, turned his head to look at the hall that was empty, only full of garbage and filth, and asked, "Has everyone been transferred out?" ”

"Yes," Jones nodded, "all of them, except for the newly discovered corpses, which were burned as usual, are now in the open space outside the hotel." ”

"What about Rosa and Celia?" Zhang Longchu asked again.

Jones shrugged and replied, "With our 'Corriton' classmates."

I asked William to put them close to the hotel security team, which looked like a bit dangerous at the edge of the crowd, but was actually the safest place."

Zhang Longchu nodded approvingly, "Then when will we leave?" ”

"In another half an hour, I'm going to go to the restaurant on the top floor to see if there's any food that's easy to preserve and delicious, and I can't eat compressed biscuits every meal when I'm on the run," Jones asked with a smile, "Do you want to go along?" ”

"Oh, of course," Zhang Longchu took the opportunity to pat the strange backpack he was carrying on one shoulder, "I actually had the same plan as you, otherwise I wouldn't have carried it out." ”

"Yes." Jones shrugged unsuspectingly, "Then we're going to have to hurry up." He took the elevator with Zhang Long all the way up to the top floor of the hotel.

Regardless of the reason for the emergence of class, whether it can exist for a long time or be extremely short-lived, as long as it lasts for a day, the upper class will inevitably oppress the lower class.

Because of this, the guests and park staff who were trapped in the lobby on the first floor had to be semi-starved all day due to the limited amount of food, but the cold storage on the top floor of the hotel still stored a lot of high-end food.

It's a pity that tuna, lobster and other ingredients are not suitable for raw eating, and among the dozens of security guards who are busy packing food and carrying it downstairs, Zhang Longchu finally stuffed more than a dozen pounds of high-calorie foods such as dark chocolate, whipped cream bars, and cocoa powder into his strange backpack.
