Chapter 14: Spatial Change
The survivors began to gather for the supplies they needed, mainly chocolate, potato chips and other high-calorie foods. Many people even tear open the package on the spot and start eating, they haven't eaten normal things for five or six hours, which may not be a big deal in normal times, but here, every moment of panic and fleeing, both mental and physical strength are greatly consumed, and people are more likely to starve.
Meng Chen didn't stop these guys, but only warned them not to go too far, and at the same time ordered the special police officers to take strict precautions. But that's it, accidents still happen.
"Ah!!h A survivor of the food collection screamed and stumbled out of the back of the shelf, one of his arms had been broken, and the blood gushed out of the major arteries with the beating of his heart, and he fled with the last desire to survive.
"Yes...... There are monsters! The man said a word, and he fainted. Meng Chen immediately asked Li Xue to deal with him urgently, while the other special police officers all raised their weapons and ran in the direction that this person was running from.
"Cluck, cluck, ............" came from the back of the shelves, and then a spherical black shadow crawled out from behind.
No, it wasn't spherical, the monster was shaped like a big spider with curled legs, but it had many more legs than spiders, and it swirled around the body densely and crawled out of the darkness.
"Woo ......" Seeing the appearance of the monster, several women had already covered their mouths and turned their heads away, and fear and nausea hit at the same time, so that they didn't even dare to look at it again.
This monster has countless hands and feet...... To be exact, there are almost only hands and feet, which are completely made up of the limbs of countless people, and there are several heads, each with different expressions and different hands and feet. If you look closely, you will see that the hands and feet are not real human limbs, but plastic models.
That's right, it's a monster created by the twisting and combining of countless mannequins, and one of the monster's hands, still bleeding from an arm, was apparently ripped from the previous victim. And this hand, as the monster advanced, slowly lost its blood color, and eventually turned into a plastic model that blended into the monster's body.
It turns out that the so-called plastic models on this guy's body are actually severed limbs torn from people!
"Shoot!" Meng Chen gave an order, and the special police officers all pulled the trigger, and countless bullets whistled and shot at the monster, where can the plastic model be bulletproof, it was beaten to a thousand holes, and fragments were splashed everywhere.
But the bullet did not affect the monster's movement, it nimbly flew up the shelves, like a large insect, flying towards the survivors.
"Ahh At that time, one of the survivors was pounced, and countless hands grabbed the man's body, and with a click, he was torn to pieces. The torso and internal organs were useless and discarded at will, only the limbs and head were grabbed by the monster and turned into a part of the monster in the blink of an eye. Especially the head, which was grabbed by the monster in its hands, and the fingers were inserted into the forehead, and the head, which had been completely dead from the body, screamed again, and finally turned into a face of pain.
"Get out of the way!" Meng Chen roared, took out the cricket, and shot at the model monster. With a bang, a huge energy bomb exploded, shattering the monster in pieces.
Meng Chen was once again pushed out by the huge recoil, and with a snap, it seemed to smash on a soft cushion.
The cold and soft touch made Meng Chen feel excited, he jumped up hard, raised his gun and turned around, and found a huge "meat man" with a bloated body standing in front of him, and before he could shoot, the meat man rushed forward, and his soft belly hit Meng Chen's body, knocking him out.
Another monster? No, more than one!
From the corner, a group of bewitching figures with immature gait appeared, and the flashlight shone out, it turned out to be a group of restaurant waiters holding knives and wearing revealing uniforms, but contrary to the sexy figures, their faces were extremely distorted, as if a mess of rotten meat was rubbed on the face, which looked disgusting.
In the other direction, there was a sound of gold and iron, two monsters that looked like men lying down, but with their heads between their thighs and their feet turned into sharp blades like mantis' forearms, approaching with spider-like steps.
Next to the knife-legged monster, there is also a humanoid monster in a wheelchair...... No, it's a bit inaccurate to say that the sitting, this monster is not in the same place as a wheelchair at all, or rather, the wheelchair is actually a part of his body!
It's a dance of demons! What was once regarded as a storehouse of paradise by the survivors has become a terrifying hell in an instant!
"Retreat! Drop all the heavy things, try to take the light things, and retreat with me! Meng Chen shouted, leading the SWAT and the survivors to stop the monsters as they retreated towards the place where they had come.
"It's here!" Li Xue shouted, Meng Chen heard this, leaned against the wall, opened the cricket stuck in the iron shelf, forced the monster back, and turned around and shouted: "Escort the civilians to go first, after the special police are cut off, who dares to fish in troubled waters, Lao Tzu will shoot him!" ”
Monsters are powerful, but they won't open doors.
This is a pattern that the survivors who have survived in the world for hours have figured out. No matter how powerful the monsters are and how hard they chase them, as long as you can step through a door and reach another dimension, those monsters will not chase after you.
Of course, the doors here refer specifically to those doors that cut off the space and can pass people away. The hotel is not completely disrupted, and there are also cases where several connected rooms are a whole and are not disrupted. The door in this kind of room does not have the ability to block monsters.
Meng Chen's understanding is that all the rooms, corridors, stairs, bathrooms and other facilities in this hotel have been dismantled into countless spaces, some spaces have only one room, and some are connected by several rooms, and people can teleport to other spaces as long as they push the door open, but monsters can only survive in their own space, and they can't teleport with people.
All in all, as long as they pass through this door, they are safe!
The survivors scrambled through the warehouse door, and although the freight elevator outside could be seen through the door, the survivors who stepped through the door did not appear in the scene outside the door, and they were all teleported back to the toilet where they came.
Finally, the last civilian was also sent away, and Meng Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Everyone retreat too!" Li Xue, take the wounded and sick first! ”
Li Xue nodded, and helped a special police officer with an injured leg to get into the door first, but as soon as they crossed the threshold, they let out a "Huh? The most incredible thing is that Meng Chen and the others on this side of the door heard it clearly!
They turned their heads in surprise and could see that Li Xue and the injured number were standing in front of the door of the freight elevator, and the two people who should have been teleported away were actually standing in the scene outside the door!
"Could it be ......" Meng Chen realized something, and immediately shouted: "Everyone retreat!" Li Xue run, pick a door at random! ”
Li Xue outside the door also heard Meng Chen's order, and rushed out of the door of the freight elevator with the lame injury and disappeared, and after a while, she came back again: "Uncle Meng, come here, this leads to other places!" ”
The SWAT officers immediately followed, one by one into the door, Meng Chen took out an ordinary pistol, and retreated while shooting, when he finally stepped into the door, a sickle monster pounced, but only cut off a corner of his clothes.
"Hu ......" Meng Chen, who rushed through the door, let out a sigh of relief, looking at the special police officers around him, after the previous battle, some people were sacrificed, and now there are only six people left, including Meng Chen and Li Xue. And they can't even bring back the bodies of the dead......
"There are only six of us left, and those survivors don't know where they went...... one of the special police officers was a little gloomy, and the others also showed sad expressions, only Qin Yunfeng was not infected by this atmosphere at all, turned on the lighting flashlight, and began to check the surrounding environment.
"It's useless to be compassionate now, let's think about how to escape alive!" The young recruit said nonchalantly.
At that time, someone was dissatisfied and shouted: "You are a newcomer, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, Xiao Zhang just ...... to cover me" Saying that, this person had already left tears of remorse.
"yes, now that I'm separated from the civilians, what can I do?" The other SWAT officers were also a little overwhelmed.
Qin Yunfeng turned his head: "I said that you are sick in the brain, we have armament and technology, and if we are separated, it should be those civilians who are in a hurry, what are we worried about?" ”
"You guy......" The other SWAT officers were still a little dissatisfied, but they were stopped by Meng Chen.
"Forget it, although Xiao Qin's words are not listening, they are also the truth, at this time, to live and leave here is the greatest consolation to the dead comrades!" Meng Chen looked at Qin Yunfeng, secretly admiring this newcomer's calmness in his heart, but at the same time, he was also a little worried about his impersonal way of doing things.
"But why did the door to the warehouse change?" Li Xue asked: "Obviously, those civilians disappeared after stepping through the door, but why weren't we transferred?" ”
Meng Chen sighed: "This is also what I've been worried about, since the space here has been disordered, who can guarantee that it will always be the same?" Maybe it's artificial, maybe it's a coincidence, but in short, when the last civilian stepped out of the threshold, the link of space happened to change...... From now on, the routes we explored before and the experience we have accumulated are no longer applicable! ”
"That's why I'm looking for a new lead!" It was Qin Yunfeng who spoke, and this kid ran back, still carrying something in his hand, and shook it.
"What's that?" Li Xue asked curiously.
"New clues!" Qin Yunfeng threw the things in his hand to the ground, causing Li Xue to scream.
That's a human arm!
