"Is it really okay for us to leave Leah here alone?" Li Xin said softly when the two left the guest room and closed the door with their backhands: "We should take her with us to find others." โ
"It's Leah's own decision, and if she can't muster the courage to fight the mutant creatures, it's going to hurt her if she fights us." Li Xin turned to look at Li Xin's worried face and sighed lightly, knowing that the other party had a crush on Liya regularly, and said comfortingly: "It's safe here, when we find that everyone else is coming back, you will have time to convince her, and she is indeed beautiful, your vision is good!" โ
"Ahem" Li Xin was a little embarrassed, reached out and scratched the back of his head and said: "It's rare to be excited once in life, especially at this time, you should take advantage of the opportunity." โ
Li Xin muttered: "Seize the opportunity?" โ
The crowd in the corridor on the twelfth floor had not yet dispersed, and after seeing Li Xin and the two walk out, they didn't dare to surround them, but just stood on both sides and stared at the backpack behind Li Xin, revealing a greedy and hungry expression. It wasn't until the two entered the elevator that many survivors reluctantly withdrew their gazes and dispersed.
"I didn't expect everyone to become this wolf bรจi." Li Xin finally got rid of everyone's eyes and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in disbelief: "Aren't these people all big bosses, high-paid people and the like before?" Don't they dare to fight and hide here waiting to die? โ
"People who live too comfortably are more afraid of death." Li Xin pulled out a military dagger and stained the blood in his handkerchief, a pair of firm eyes were refracted in the silver-white cold light, and he said softly: "Who is not afraid of death?" But at such times, the more afraid of death, the easier it is to be killed by mutated creatures. โ
"Mutant creatures seem to like to pick on the weaker." Li Xin hadn't forgotten how the waiter named Guerra had died, and if he hadn't hid under the table, he wouldn't have been the first to be hunted by the mutant rabbits.
"When you find other people, you will do your best to help them gain the ability to mutate." Li Xin leaned against the steel wall of the elevator and said softly, he was resting while thinking about the future.
Suddenly, the lights above the two of them went out in an instant, and there was a slight tremor from the entire elevator, which stopped and continued to descend, and suddenly the elevator fell into a terrible dead silence.
"What the hell happened?" Li Xin's panicked voice came from the darkness.
"Looks like we're stuck here!" Li Xin was also a little panicked in his heart, but he took a deep breath to stabilize his feelings, the more times like this, the more he had to stay calm, and the panic in his eyes would only bring disaster and death to himself
"Damn!" Li Xin slammed his fist on the elevator wall and shouted in annoyance: "How can there be a loss of power." โ
"Why is the backup motor in the basement going out of power, what the hell is going on?" Hypotheses and conjectures came to Li Xin's mind, and the most likely reason was that the motor located on the second floor of the basement was attacked and destroyed by mutated creatures.
"What now!" Li Xin took off the backpack behind him, groped in the dark for a long time, and finally found a flashlight in the messy backpack. "How are we going to get out of this place, are we going to be trapped here?"
There is no doubt that the two are trapped in the elevator, and even worse, they will never be rescued.
A dazzling beam of light lit up in the dark elevator, and Li Xin comforted Li Xin with Li Xin's pale face by using the light: "We will find a way to get out of here, give me the flashlight." After taking the flashlight, he lifted the elevator vent above his head and calmly reminded, "Let's go out through the elevator vent." โ
"But ......"
"Don't worry, with my current strength, I should be able to forcibly break open the iron door of the elevator." Li Xin handed the flashlight to Li Xin and gently patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. Although Li Xin doesn't know if he can break the iron door of the elevator, the power he has now is no longer invincible for ordinary people.
"Can it really be done?"
"After all, we're no longer ordinary humans." Li Xin said meaningfully: "You should be more confident in the mutation ability we have obtained. I'll pick you up later, and you can open the vents for me. โ
Li Xin was slightly stunned after hearing this, shook his head and said: "My strength hasn't changed much, I'm afraid it's still a problem to open the vent." I'll carry you, you will open it. He squatted down and said, "But you'd better hurry, I don't have much strength, but I can't hold it for long." โ
After Li Xin fell on Li Xin's shoulders, the two stood up shaky against the wall. Li Xin could reach out and hook the vent, and then pushed up towards the vent with both hands.
With a bang, the iron vent lid bulged and deformed, and finally fell off the elevator abruptly. โ
"Hurry up, I can't support it." Li Xin's body shook a little unsteadily, and it seemed that he couldn't support the weight of Li Xin's body.
"Hold on, I've made it!" Li Xin was overjoyed, his hands poked out of the vents, and his arms propped up his body and climbed up from the vents. He sat on the cold steel plate and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, squatted down after a while, leaned down and leaned down to poke his arm down the vent, and after taking the backpack and flashlight, he spent a lot of effort to pull Li Xin up.
Li Xin couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect our luck to be so unlucky." โ
"Help me hold it!" Li Xin gave the flashlight to Li Xin, touched the elevator door in front of him and said, "Our luck is good." A chill came from the cold steel door from his palm, he took a deep breath, gently opened his palm and pressed it against the door, and pushed it to both sides with both hands.
The elevator iron door is still not moving!
Li Xin's brown eyes shrank, showing a round hole, and the green tendons on his emaciated arms swelled, like two strong pillars, and roared: "Open it for me!" The steel gate shook as if with a roar, and with a clang, a crack appeared. The gap became larger and larger, and finally it could accommodate one person, and only then did Li Xin let go of his arm and exhaled, and got out of the crack in the door.
"It worked!" Li Xin was overjoyed, and hurriedly handed the backpack behind him to the other party, and he also climbed out of the floor behind Li Xin, picked up the backpack again, and said half-jokingly to Li Xin, who was panting: "I didn't expect that after obtaining the mutation ability, you will also become a strong man." The expression on his face disappeared, and he looked up at the ground and asked, "But, where is this?" โ
"This should be the seventh floor!" Li Xin raised his head and looked around, and after making sure it was safe, he motioned to Li Xin to turn off the flashlight, he didn't like to cause other trouble: "Let's go quickly, don't delay time." โ
The two of them walked towards the staircase, there were obviously fewer corpses in the corridors of this level than on other floors, and there were not many guests who were able to escape Shun Lรฌ after all.
However, there are still a lot of corpses on the escape stairs, and with the help of the lights, Li Xin even has a few corpses of rat monsters. When Li Xin and the others walked downstairs, they didn't encounter other mutant creatures, which made them breathe a sigh of relief, and they went down the stairs to the third floor.
"There's no movement inside, are you sure they'll still be inside?" Li Xin looked at the dark hall and said worriedly: "Perhaps, Wang Kexia left here after finding food." โ
"Be careful, I feel something in there, go in and take a look, give me the flashlight." Li Xin turned on the flashlight and walked into the military dagger held in the hall with another hand, the beam of light swept through the darkness, and cautiously walked into the hall on the third floor: "It's safe, you can come in too!" โ
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow suddenly swooped towards his position.
"Be careful." After Li Xin reminded Li Xin beside him, he waved his knife to meet him, and vaguely heard a ding, and the dagger seemed to have touched a hard thing.
"Don't do it, it's me Ruizhe?" Suddenly, a familiar and excited voice sounded in my ears.
Li Xin turned around and used the beam of light, and finally knew who the person who attacked him was who he was, and his military dagger was lowered on the solid bone armor of Ruizhe's right arm, leaving a shallow trace.
"You almost killed me." Ruizhe showed a rare smile when he saw that the person who came was Li Xin, and after reaching out to give the two of them a warm hug, he asked suspiciously: "How did you find here, by the way, Mori." โ
"We encountered a powerful mutant creature in the kitchen, Uncle Murray was killed, fortunately Li Xin killed the mutant creature in the end, otherwise you might not see us." Li Xin still feels palpitations when he thinks back to the battle in the kitchen.
"When we got back to the fifth floor, now that you all suddenly disappeared, and I suspect that you have found the attack, so all of us will come and look for you downstairs." Li Xin asked softly. "By the way, what about the others?"
Ruizhe stopped Li Xin from continuing, looked up and said, "This is not the place to talk, come with me!" โ
"Something happened." Li Xin looked at the nervous Ruizhe and asked rhetorically.
"After you left, the power system was restored to normal, and then a rat monster suddenly appeared and attacked the door of the room where we were, and the timid middle-aged man was killed, and Wang Kexia was also seriously injured while protecting the others." Ruizhe said while taking Li Xin and the two into the depths of the hall: "Moreover, now we not only have to be careful of mutated creatures, but also need to be wary of other survivors, just now we encountered the malice of other survivors. โ
"What's going on?" Li Xin frowned, he didn't expect so many things to happen in the few hours they left.
"We're here." Ruizhe led the two of them down the hall and down into a room where an employee was resting in a remote corner. "The rest of the stuff is going to be talked about inside." He stretched out his hand and gently buckled on the wooden door twice, and said softly: "I'm Ruizhe, Li Xin, they are back, open the door and let me in." โ
The door creaked to reveal tiny gaps.
Li Xinqing looked at Li Xin and the two of them with some excitement, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and choked up, "You guys are finally back, I thought it was ......"
Ruizhe turned his head to look around, frowned and reminded: "Go in first, other things are talking about later." โ
"We're back, and we're sure we'll be able to get through the difficulties in front of us safely." Li Xin comforted Li Xin softly, and deftly bypassed the half-hidden door and stepped into the room, Li Xin followed closely behind, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no other mutated creatures nearby, Ruizhe Hall also walked into the room and immediately locked the wooden door.
