"I'm going out with you to find food, too!" Li Xin also stood up and responded to Morrie's call. His stomach was growling, and his appetite seemed to have grown a lot since the mutation, and he needed more food to provide nourishment.

"Count me in!" Li Xin raised his arm and took the initiative to join the team searching for food.

Except for Li Xin and the others, the others chose to be silent, as if they didn't want to go out of the safe room.

"I'll stay, and someone needs to take care of it here!" Wang Kexia made a high-sounding excuse for himself: "I'm worried that the mutant mice will return at any time, and we will take turns to replace the matter of looking for food." ”

"I'm sorry for you here, we'll bring back as much food as we can when we find it." Li Xin was busy tying up his nightgown with a belt, he was worried that he would encounter mutant rats on the road, and the loose nightgown would become an obstacle instead.

"Let's get out!" Maury moved his stiff arm, pulled the communicator out of his pocket, and fumbled for the doorknob with the fluorescent light on the screen. He took a deep breath and quickly opened the door, raised his head and looked around, and after making sure that there were no other monsters in the corridor, he said in a low voice, "There are no mutant rats, you can come out." ”

The smell of blood in the air in the corridor still made Li Xin feel a little uncomfortable, and Li Xin also walked out of the guest room with a look of unease on his pale face.

"Chengxin Hotel includes the second basement floor, with a total of 35 floors!" When the three of them walked back and forth in the gloomy corridor, Morrie introduced the general distribution of the hotel to Li Xin and the others. "From the first floor to the third floor is the restaurant and the fourth floor is the activity room. Above the fifth floor are guest rooms, and if we want to find food we have to go back to the third floor or go straight to the kitchen on the first floor to find the water and food we need. ”

Li Xin stopped at the stairs and said, "We can definitely find a lot of food in the kitchen, and we can go to the guard room to see if we can find some weapons." ”

In the battle of the stairs, Li Xin also realized his shortcomings, although his body became extremely strong under the power of mutation, but the lethality of fist strikes was still very limited, as long as he found the right weapon, with his dexterity and strength after his body was improved, he could have the power to kill mutant rats lightly.

Mo Li nodded in agreement with Li Xin's construction, and he didn't forget to remind the two: "Be cautious when going down the stairs, don't make any more noise." He added, "I don't want to be stuck on the stairs with mutant rats anymore." ”

The bloody staircase scene still made the three of them feel uncomfortable, and Li Xin reached out to cover his mouth and nose, slowly and dexterously walking through the scarlet bones. As soon as he reached the staircase on the fourth floor, he suddenly stopped, staring directly at the mutant rat in the corner of the staircase that was eating corpses, and his heart couldn't help but sink: this battle may be inevitable.

All he wanted now was to make too much noise and attract the other monsters on the level.

Li Xin stretched out his hand to stop Li Xin, who was about to make a move, and said softly: "I want to try the power of mutation, let me solve it!" The bloody short bow on his right arm had been unfurled in the air, and a scarlet bone arrow was on it.

"Taste the power of arrows!" Li Xin let out a low roar, loosened his tendons, and the bone arrow carried a strong force and shot out in the air.

With a pop, the bone arrow pierced through the fur on the back of the mutant mouse, shot into the flesh and penetrated the other side of the body, and knocked the other nails to the ground.

"It's so powerful." Li Xin's eyes widened as he stared at the mutant rat that was killed by Li Xin's attack, and couldn't help but gasp. He couldn't help muttering to himself, "It seems that every mutated power has its own uniqueness. ”

Each mutation has its own advantages and disadvantages of gaining power, and it is more important to see how the individual uses it.

"Although this ability is good, it's a pity that there is only one bone arrow." Li Xin also knew the weakness of his ability, and sighed helplessly and said: "If you can get a few more arrows, you won't be afraid in the face of mutant creatures." He walked down the stairs and bent down to try to pull the bone arrow out of the mutant mouse's body, but unfortunately the bone arrow got stuck in the mutant mouse's body, and he couldn't pull it out with a lot of effort. In desperation, Li Xin turned his head sideways to Mo Li beside him and asked, "It seems to be stuck on the bone, uncle, please ask you." ”

"If you have a chance in the future, find a bucket of arrows, your attack power will definitely be very strong." Mo Lili helped Li Xin pull out the arrow, and said with envy: "Long-range attacks are also relatively safer. ”

Li Xin watched Li Xin put away the short bow, and said in surprise: "Why did this world become like this, I still feel incredible!" ”

"Who knows?" Li Xin said disappreciatively.

"Don't let it be time-consuming, let's go!" Maury reminded in a low voice. He had just taken a big stride, but suddenly stopped, looking at what was touching on the tip of his toe in front of him.

With a thud, a broken scarlet skeleton fell down the stairs, and a crisp falling sound rang out from the silent floor.

"Damn it!"

Li Xin cursed in his heart, tense his nerves and guard against the surrounding stairs to guard against the approaching mutant rats. Li Xin and the three of them waited at the waiting place at the staircase for a while, but none of the mutant mice appeared, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The closer you get to the first floor, the smell of blood that fills the void becomes stronger, and a large number of bones are piled up at the escape staircase on the first floor, and those who don't have time to escape become food in the bellies of mutant rats.

The road was very peaceful, except for the mutant rat they encountered at the beginning, the three of them never encountered other mutant rats, and they didn't know where they were hiding. Although it was a good thing that the mutant rats did not appear, the three of them were disappointed in it deep down.

The lobby on the first floor of Chengxin Hotel is very cold, and the icy cold makes people's teeth chatter up and down. Li Xin exhaled a hot breath, and his hands on his shoulders trembled slightly. There was an eerie smell of blood in the hall, as if some terrible monster might emerge at any moment.

"Okay, we can go to the basement and turn on the hotel's backup motors, and if the lights are working, we don't have to worry about being attacked by monsters hiding in the shadows at any time." Li Xin whispered.

"It's better not to do that, and you know what will come in if you turn on the backup power and light the lights." Li Xin's construction was very exciting, but for security reasons, Li Xin vetoed this proposal. As he feared, if the whole city was dark, the whole restaurant would undoubtedly become the brightest thing in the whole city, and even worse, the harsh lights might attract monsters from all sides of the city.

As soon as the words fell, several undamaged wall lamps in the hall on the first floor suddenly flickered, emitting dazzling lights, and the entire restaurant was shrouded in light for a moment.

"It looks like it's getting late." Mo Li turned his head sideways to look at Li Xin, who had an ugly face beside him, and shook his head helplessly and said, "Someone has turned on the spare motor in the only basement one step ahead of us." ”

The lobby of the hotel lobby is littered with torn corpses, and the occasional corpse of several mutant rats can be seen, presumably killed by survivors who made their way to the basement.

"It's not just a few of us who have obtained the mutation ability, I'm afraid that the monsters on the road will be slaughtered by another team." Li Xin bent down to observe the corpse of the mutant rat with the chest broken, and analyzed: "It's the fire axe, or similar to Wang Kexia's mutation ability, the mutant rat was almost cut from the chest." ”

"I suddenly had a bad premonition, as if something bad was about to happen, so I went to the security room first and saw if I could find some weapons." Li Xin's face showed uneasiness and anxiety, and he turned his head and asked, "Mr. Mori, do you know where the guard room is?" ”

"I didn't know that before." Maury pointed to the map hanging on the wall in the corner not far from them, and gave a rare smile: "However, now I may know how to get to the guard room. ”

"Hopefully we'll be able to find a weapon that we can use." Li Xin walked towards the schematic diagram hanging on the wall. In addition to Mori's finger blade, although Li Xin's bone arrow is strong, it needs to be recycled after using it once, and once it encounters a melee, it will be in crisis, and they need other weapons.

The luck of the three people was not bad, it took about five minutes to look at the door number and fumble through the room, and finally on the third door on the north side of the second floor on the right side of the hall, they saw a sign with the words "security room" hanging on it.

There was a familiar smell of blood in the half-hidden part of the wooden door. Li Xin stretched out his hand to hold Mo Li on the other side, and the two nodded, and said softly, "I'm going to open it." ”

After Li Xin suddenly opened the iron door of the security room, Mo Li was stunned and stood outside the door looking at the one born inside in front of him.

There were several gnawed human bones and the corpses of mutant rat monsters on the floor, and the corpse of a middle-aged man was leaning intact against a corner wall, his chest crouched with claw marks and a bloody wound.

The cabinets inside also have obvious traces of being overturned, and it seems that someone has already ransacked this place in advance than Li Xin and the others.

"Looks like someone has already taken the lead." Mo Li frowned and looked at the chaotic guard room, looked at Li Xin helplessly and asked, "What should I do now!" ”

"Go inside and close the door, we'll be able to find something, but we can't count on guns and other weapons." After Li Xin closed the iron door, he began to collect the things in the security room. He took down the schematic diagram of the restaurant hanging on the wall, folded it casually, threw it to Murray and said, "Take this!" ”

The cameras in the corner of the corridor of the hotel are still running quietly, and there are a few screens covered with snowflakes, most of the cameras are able to operate normally, and Li Xin can still see the monster wandering in the corridor on a few screens.

"It seems that the group of people came and went in a hurry, and there are not too many people, and weapons such as pistols have been scavenged." Li Xin found a few daggers and batons in the cabinet, and he even had a machete, but it was obviously not suitable for the three of them.

"Why do you say that?" Li Xin, who was rummaging through the cabinets, couldn't help but be stunned and asked curiously.

"If a lot of people come, do you think they'll leave us with other weapons?" Pointing to the body of the middle-aged man who had never been gnawed to death, Murray explained: "They are still here before they even have time to dispose of the bodies of their companions. ”

Li Xin rummaged through the cabinet to find a suitable set of clothes, and hurriedly changed into himself, it was not a good idea to run around in a nightgown, he casually threw a bunch of clothes to the two of them, in the previous battle, the clothes on his body were already worn, and they were stained with blood, and the two of them also chose suitable clothes to change into.

"Come here!" Maury said suddenly. He found a closed cabinet, and the group left in a hurry before they had time to open it. He asked Li Xin in a low voice, "Can you violently knock it open?" ”

Li Xin tried it, but the sturdiness of the cabinet was beyond his expectations, and he shook his head and said, "You have to find something inside the iron rod to be able to crack this cabinet." ”

"Use this!" Li Xin also found an iron rod out of nowhere and handed it to Li Xin, paying attention to the other party's puzzled gaze, and said with a smile: "I picked it up on the ground in the corner just now." ”

Maury put the iron rod in its place and said, "I'll count to three, let's all work together!" ”

With a bang, the iron door of the cabinet was pried open. It's all a mess, most of which are used by security guards for recreation. However, what made Li Xin happiest was that he found some weapons, which were military daggers, which were more suitable for dealing with those dexterous mutant rats than the seemingly bulky weapons such as machetes.

Li Xin casually tried to cut a few times on the wooden table, and then lightly left deep marks on the wooden table, and made sure that the dagger was very sharp before he put it away satisfactorily.

"It's very sharp, and it shouldn't be a problem to eat and wear the monster's body." Li Xin explained to Mo Li, "There is one more for Li Xin, after his bone arrow is shot, there is almost no other ability to protect himself." After getting Mori's approval, he handed another dagger to Li Xin.

"It's a good thing, it looks sharper than Wang Kexia's bone blade." After Li Xin took the dagger, he couldn't put it down and played with it in his hand.

"Don't make a fuss, throw everything you can use into your bag, by the way, take the machete away, Ruizhe's strength is great, and there is not much pressure to use this." Li Xin was loading the things he had collected from the cabinet into his backpack, and Li Xin also put away the dagger and came over to help put the things away.

"I'll come to Li Xin to carry the backpack in turn." Maury explained: "You are the strongest of all people, and if you are in battle, carrying a backpack will hinder your skills, and if the two of us are in danger, you must rescue them in time." ”

Li Xin did not object to Mo Li's words, but patted Li Xin's shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't care about this little thing, your previous efforts are obvious to everyone." ”

"Then I'm not pretentious, let's hurry up and go to the kitchen, hopefully we can find some food." Li Xin spread out the map in his hand and began to check the route and said.

After the three of them left the guard room quickly, no one noticed that a black shadow was faintly seen flashing on a camera on the periphery. What Li Xin had been worried about before was still born, and countless hideous monsters were attracted by the dazzling lights, and they continued to pour in and pour towards the hotel from all directions.
