Chapter 9: The Survivors

In a corridor of the hotel building, Xie Wen, Snow Owl and Deng Feng are also moving forward step by step.

"You can't be wrong, it's Silent Hill!" Deng Feng rubbed his chin and said, "I didn't expect this to be the secret of Tianheng Hotel!" The True Shadow doesn't know how to bring the curse of Silent Hill to reality, it seems that the world here is the true face of the True Shadow's stronghold, and here, the secret of the True Shadow can be found! ”

"Ah......h I heard a bang, and a hidden door in front of me was slammed open, and a man in a suit covered in blood and carrying a suitcase ran out, stumbling and rushing at the sight of the three people, shouting for help.

But as soon as he took two steps, a huge tentacle came out of the door, wrapped around the man's foot, and dragged him back, and then from the door came the man's scream, accompanied by a creaking and chewing sound, which became more and more subtle.

When the chewing sound stopped, a disgusting squirming sound came from inside the door, and a moment later, a monster made of a combination of a large mouth and tentacles squeezed out of the door frame, glanced around, and crawled towards the trio.

"Kill it!" Xie Wen gave the order, and the snow owl pulled out a large silver (non-grade, completely colored) pistol from his waist, and fired three shots at the monster in a row, one with tentacles, one in the muzzle, and one in the flesh above the mouth. For this strange-looking monster, no one can figure out where the key point is, so they can only find a possible part of the test launch!

However, unexpectedly, the monster was unusually fragile, and all three bullets caused serious damage, and the monster was broken to pieces, and died on the spot.

"Surprisingly easy......" Snowy Owl walked over to the monster's wreckage with his gun in hand, and kicked twice to make sure it was dead.

"After all, Silent Hill is only for the normal-level world." Xie Wen also showed a relaxed expression: "The protagonists in the original book are almost ordinary people, and they can defeat monsters if they find the right way, so for us adventurers, the threat should not be ......."

"It's better not to be too optimistic!" Deng Feng said: "The characteristic of Silent Hill is that the monsters that appear are all alluding to the dark side of people's hearts, the more distorted and gray the hearts, the more deformed and powerful the monsters appear. For example, this big-mouthed monster, judging from the appearance, should represent negative emotions such as greed, and the person who was attacked ......" said, Deng Feng turned his head to look at the room where the man was killed just now, the body was gone, and it should have been eaten. But the suitcase spread out on the ground, scattering the money (harmony) on the ground.

"At this time, he still thinks about money, which shows his greed!"

"You mean to say that this monster is the manifestation of this resident's dark mask?" Xie Wen frowned: "The total number of staff and guests in this hotel is more than thousands, if everyone embodies a monster ......"

"I'm afraid it's not just a ......" Deng Feng shook his head: "In the original book of Silent Hill, when a person enters the world, he will encounter dozens or hundreds of monsters, so to speak, the longer he lives in the inner world, with fear and depression, the negative emotions in people's hearts are mobilized, and the more monsters appear, the more powerful they are......"

"But those ordinary people almost died in the first round of slaughter!" The Snowy Owl inserts the silver spear back into his waist and can easily kill monsters, thanks to this famous black weapon with real attributes.

"Indeed, we saw a large number of corpses along the way, and ordinary people suddenly suffered such an accident, eight times out of ten (harmony) nine would not survive for a minute......" Deng Feng muttered: "But there are always exceptions, if there are survivors, they are monster makers!" And don't forget, including us, there are adventurers who are involved! ”

"Adventurers?" The snow owl shrugged his shoulders: "Then don't worry, we've seen this kind of scene a lot, we won't be afraid, and we won't be able to give birth to any powerful monsters......"

"No...... This is what we need to worry about the most! Xie Wen shook his head, his face solemn. Do you think that after killing someone, is it terrible for people who feel guilty, painful and remorseful, or do you feel terrible for people who don't care and feel no different from shooting dead cockroaches? ”

When the snow owl heard this, he also vaguely understood: "Captain, what do you mean......"

"Adventurers who survive in all kinds of extremely terrifying environments are actually the most psychologically twisted, if we can also generate monsters, the strength is definitely not comparable to these ordinary monsters!" Xie Wen let out a long sigh and looked at the dim corridor full of unknowns: "The inner world, maybe it is not the interior of the True Shadow stronghold at all, but it is precisely the defense measures they use to defend against external enemies!" ”

…………

In the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, including Meng Chen and Li Xue, there are a total of eight special police officers, protecting more than 20 civilians.

Moments later, the door to the elevator hall on the first floor opened, and four gun-wielding SWAT officers escorted three shivering civilians in. The civilians were arranged together, and the special police came to report to Meng Chen.

"Report to Team Meng, this time we went deep into the Seven Gates, and only found three people, and when we went deeper, we encountered monsters and had to retreat......"

Meng Chen nodded: "It's hard work, you guys should rest first!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at the twenty-odd civilians, these people were mostly successful people who stayed in luxury hotels an hour ago, but now, after the terrible world transformation, their brand-name clothes were torn, their white faces were splashed with blood, there was no longer that confident smile on their faces, their eyes revealed fear, and they looked as pitiful as abandoned children.

Meng Chen sighed, the special police who came to the hotel this time were a total of two squads, each team of six people, counting him and Li Xue should be fourteen people. However, when the first team found the second team, the second captain and one of the team members had died tragically at the hands of the monster, and only four members of the team who were slightly injured survived and joined the main army.

When they came to the hall and saw the door, they thought they had found an exit, but when they walked out, they realized that something was wrong. The outside world was empty, except for the ground beneath their feet, there was a hint of reality, and there was a dim patch everywhere. They tried to leave, but could only walk within twenty meters of the hotel. Although there was nothing in the way, no matter how they walked, looking back, the hotel was still close at hand, and no matter what, they couldn't go far.

It's okay in this way, on the bare earth, only such a building, if you really go to a place where you can't see it, it's really terrifying.

Therefore, Meng Chen decided to return to the hall with the SWAT and use this place as a base to try to search for the surviving civilians.

When the hotel entered the inner world, not only the shape and atmosphere, but also the internal structure of the hotel have undergone drastic changes. If you walk in from the door on the first floor, you may suddenly appear in the corridor on the eighteenth floor, and if you walk in through the door of the guest room, you may suddenly enter the bathroom......

No, to be exact, it's not the structure that changes, many times, when you open the door, you can see the inside, but the moment you cross the threshold, you will come to another unrelated room. The entire hotel is as if it has been cast with the magic of time and space.

But fortunately, this confusion is not random, although it is not the same as the original, but after the chaos, which door leads to where, is still fixed.

For example, Meng Chen, they entered the hall from the elevator room on the sixteenth floor, and when they went back through the same door, it was still the elevator hall on the sixteenth floor.

As long as there is a fixed route to follow! Meng Chen immediately decided to take the hall on the first floor as a base, and led the special police to search for survivors in the hotel, and every time he passed through the door, he recorded where the door led, looking for an exit while rescuing as many people as possible!

It's like an expedition, the building is like a dungeon full of dangers and monsters, and the SWAT officers are careful to avoid monsters with every step they take. After dozens of minutes of hard work, not only did they rescue a lot of survivors, but they also found the lost members of the second team. However, it is a pity that the second captain and one team member died while fighting monsters, and only four people remained, and they were also incorporated into Meng Chen's command.

In the end, it is a professionally trained SWAT officer, and in this case, he can adapt as soon as possible and stay calm.

Although these monsters could basically be dealt with with with by bullets, Meng Chen still felt a little breathless. The ammunition they brought was counted, and seeing the more than 20 survivors who were frightened and helpless, he felt that the hope of being rescued was very slim.

"Let's everyone take a break...... "Twelve special police officers, divided into three groups, took turns to go out to explore, looking for a way out and survivors, if anyone was injured, Meng Chen would be on top. Li Xue is responsible for caring for the wounded and comforting the survivors, although it has been a few hours since the accident, but for these special police officers, it seems like a few years.

It's a blessing in misfortune, even if something changes, the hotel is still a hotel, from the kitchen, restaurants and other places, you can still find food, although most of it has been ruined by monsters, but you can still find food that has not deteriorated and can be eaten.

The SWAT officers collected the food and finally didn't starve to death.

Li Xue distributed food to the survivors, and the SWAT also found a place to rest and eat. But their guns still haven't left their hands, and the hall is not safe, who knows if a monster will suddenly appear from nowhere.

"Phew, what the hell is this!"

Suddenly, a man of about thirty years old stood up among the survivors and threw the cabbage in his hand on the ground: "You will give us lettuce leaves?" ”

Li Xue hurriedly comforted: "This big brother, don't be excited, everyone eats the same, now it is an extraordinary period, food is rare, please overcome it......"

"What about them!" The man pointed to a SWAT officer who was munching on chicken legs: "Why do they have meat to eat!" ”
