Chapter 3: The Light of Hope

Zhang Chen closed his eyes with a sad face, and the blood weapon in front of him continued to rotate at high speed, like a whirlpool in a pool of blood, devouring all the vitality around him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Boyuan waited for a long time, but he didn't see him materialize a device, he was a little anxious, and he was about to speak, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw that the blood weapon was rapidly expanding from Zhang Chen's chest, and after a while, a blood-red desert eagle that was exactly the same as before appeared in Zhang Chen's hand at the same time. With the appearance of this weapon, the size of the blood weapon was also rapidly condensed, and finally stayed at the size of a sesame seed, turning into a streamer of light and burrowing into Zhang Chen's body.

"I thought about a lot of things, but I couldn't materialize them, so I could only use them reluctantly." Zhang Chen shook his head, looked at the Desert Eagle pistol in his hand, and said with a wry smile.

"Not bad. However, in this layer, I don't think you need it. Remember, the artifact materialized from the blood is not infinitely usable, it can create some special connection with another part of the blood in your body, and in doing so, consume the blood in your body. Therefore, once out of combat, it is necessary to return the instrument to the form of a blood weapon as soon as possible. ”

After Zhao Boyuan finished speaking, he found that Zhang Chen was looking at him with a stunned face, and hurriedly explained:

"I've observed these things, and that's all I know!"

"So, you also came to the -53rd floor because of an elevator accident in the company for some reason?"

"Well, sort of. However, this company is not the other company, I went directly underground from my company elevator. Listening to you, it seems that we are in the same situation. ”

Zhao Boyuan said, looking at the thick haze around him, his face changed, and he shouted:

"It's not good, the air is poisonous!"

After speaking, he pinched his nose with one hand, and dragged Zhang Chen, who was confused, with the other, and at the same time, his mind was in a hurry, and he stepped on a bright red jet skateboard under his feet, and rushed to the end of the office with a roar.

"Wait a minute, the elevator is in... Zhang Chen originally wanted to say that the location of the elevator was behind them, but when the horsepower skateboard took them through the thick fog, Zhang Chen was completely dumbfounded.

An elevator that was exactly the same as when he was trapped was now open and the door was really in front of him.

"It can't be!"

Zhang Chen's tone was firm, and there was a sense of disbelief in his eyes. As a white-collar worker, dealing with elevators every day is essential, and over time, Zhang Chen is very familiar with it.

The elevator in front of him is surprisingly similar to the company's elevator that carried Zhang Chen in the ghost gate before, both in terms of appearance and internal structure. The fact that the same elevator appears in two diametrically opposed positions in the same plane is not only beyond the scope of scientific explanation.

Zhao Boyuan, who was the first to walk into the elevator, suddenly showed a playful smile, as if he had expected Zhang Chen to have such a strong reaction, and his tone was free and easy:

"Along the way, have you experienced no less? To be honest, I don't know what the hell is going on with this TM. An elevator accident was sent to this place where people are not ghosts, and the same elevator appeared at two points in the plane......

But isn't it easy for you and me to want? We all just want to get back to the surface alive, and for anything else, it doesn't matter what we do! ”

Zhang Chen listened to Zhao Boyuan's words, and thought to himself that it is indeed the case, there is always an appropriate time to know what should be known, and what should not be known, it is useless to think about it for the rest of his life, anyway, it is good to be alive. After all, there's so much more to explain what happened today.

The elevator retractable door slowly closed with Zhang Chen's entry, and then, there was a harsh sound from the metal pulling, and the two felt their bodies tighten, knowing that it was the overweight phenomenon caused by the elevator rising.

"The elevator goes up very slowly, it takes about five to six minutes. When I first came down, it didn't take five minutes to go down to more than 50 floors, hey, it's easy to come down, but it's hard to go up! ”

As soon as Zhao Boyuan entered the elevator, he was busy rummaging through his jacket pockets. After a while, he took out two ham sausages, handed one to Zhang Chen, and took the other one and devoured it.

Zhang Chen didn't have any appetite at this time, so he put the ham sausage in his pocket. The comfortable environment in the elevator made him completely relax from the tense state of his life.

He began to recall the past, how depraved his high school and college life was, how he bullied the weak and feared the hard as an employee of the company, pretending to be like a grandson in front of his boss, and flying in front of his subordinates. He is only twenty-three years old this year, he has learned to be sophisticated in the company's environment, he has hated everything about himself more than once, he hates to live like this, but he can't change it.

The speed of the elevator was just right, and it seemed that even the rotten smell in the air was no longer as bad as before, and after a while, Zhang Chen stared blankly at the ham sausage packaging bag in his hand, and said to himself:

"Do you think we're in hell? No food, no sunlight, dealing with ferocious monsters, and surviving for a long time......"

"Bang-"

At this moment, the elevator door slowly opened, and the blood-red word -49 appeared on the black screen.

Ever since Zhao Boyuan finished eating the ham sausage, he had been facing Zhang Chen with his back to him, ready to go, as if he couldn't wait to walk into the next floor. When he heard what Zhang Chen said, his straight back paused slightly, left a sonorous and powerful monologue, and continued to walk out of the elevator.

"What about hell? Is it hell that we have to choose to kill ourselves right away? People live, and sometimes, self-deception is better than alarmism! ”

At this moment, Zhang Chen figured out some things, and at the same time, some things made him even more confused. He tried to take a step out of the comfortable elevator and face the hellish world in his heart.

――――――

This is a much larger floor than the office office.

An empty marble corridor large enough to accommodate dozens of people walking side by side stretched to the end of their line of sight. The ceiling is more than five meters high, and a dim old-fashioned chandelier hangs every two or three meters, rendering the entire floor eerie and terrifying.

However, the most noteworthy thing is the glass containers filled with transparent liquids that stand densely on both sides of the corridor.

Zhang Chen noticed that these containers were large and small, and they were arranged irregularly. Inside, without exception, there are monsters in strange costumes with human shapes. Some of them have bat-like wings, some show sharp fangs, and despite their human appearance, their withered, waxy blue skin still gives people goosebumps. Moreover.....

Large and small glass containers were piled up on both sides of the corridor, and there were no less than hundreds of them just appearing in the field of vision of the two of them. The thought of dealing with these genetically mutated monsters made a trace of despair rise in Zhang Chen's heart. It seems that if you want to escape from here, you will have to go through another hard battle.

Unconsciously, the two of them had left the elevator for more than ten meters, during which Zhao Boyuan was extremely active, focusing all his attention on the humanoid specimens in the glass containers on both sides. The entire face was almost attached to the glass surface, and it seemed that he was unwilling to let go of any of the pores on the monster's body.

"What a pervert!"

Zhang Chen sighed and couldn't help but shout silently in his heart. Immediately, he also came to a glass container and observed carefully, of course, not like that guy, obsessively sticking his face to the glass.

If the glass breaks, wouldn't it be shot in the face...... Zhang Chen's brain made up for Zhao Boyuan's miserable situation with unknown liquid all over his face, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore......

A humanoid monster in a white coat with a somewhat bald head. The reason why it is called a monster is that two octopus-like blood-red tentacles have grown from its smooth brain, making a faint swing in the water. Zhang Chen could even clearly see the large and small milky white suction cups on the tentacles, like a fish's mouth, opening and closing and contracting.

He turned his attention back to the monster's closed eyes, the skin around the sockets that were somehow deeply sunken, and even though sealed in liquid, the entire face was still unusually distorted by dryness.

Just as Zhang Chen was about to step forward to take a closer look, the bald monster that had always been still and fell asleep suddenly opened its blood-red eyes and stared at Zhang Chen, who was only a glass away from him.

Zhang Chen didn't have any mental preparation, and the whole person was frightened and collapsed backwards, and the blood-red desert eagle appeared like lightning, watching every move of the monster in the container with a vigilant face.

Zhao Boyuan, who was not far away, also noticed Zhang Chen, who was half-sitting on the ground, and hurried over.

"What's going on?"

Seeing Zhang Chen's shocked eyes, Zhao Boyuan looked in his direction, his gaze stayed on the pair of blood-red eyes in the glass container, frowned, and said in a deep voice:

"We've got to get out of here, and when these monsters get out of the container, it's all over!"

As he spoke, he picked up Zhang Chen and ran to the end of the corridor.

The surrounding environment repeats itself like a slide, this level is so big, the two of them run wildly, I don't know how far they have walked, there is endless darkness in front and behind. Gradually, due to physical exhaustion, the speed of the two slowed down.

While panting, Zhang Chen's eyes were quick, and he pointed to a few black dots not far away that were visible to the naked eye and flashed with light, signaling Zhao Bo to look from afar.

"That's...?" Zhao Boyuan said, narrowing his eyes.

"Let's take a look!"

After saying a word, regardless of his tired body, he continued to run towards the end of the corridor. He vaguely knew what those glittering black spots were.

Zhang Chen had a conjecture in his heart, about the secret of this floor, about the identity of the monster in the container, and the hope of survival!
