Chapter 30: Get in touch

Jiang Mian immediately sent a private message to Pei Xingyi to know the other party's current status.

[I'm Jiang Mian, how are you doing now? 】

It didn't take long for the other party to reply immediately, apparently also paying attention to the content on the phone at any time.

[It's not too good, I twisted my left ankle a little on the way to escape.] 】

Where are you now? I have a car, I can go to meet you. 】

[Wait a minute, I can't tell if you've been assimilated by them.] 】

【…… But it's a paradox, with the verification method you mentioned, we can't verify without meeting, but we can't meet without giving me the address. 】

[Hmm...... Also, I'm waiting to die if I stay here with limited mobility, come here, I'm in a bar called 8087 on Xiyuan Road. 】

Xiyuan Road is still a certain distance from here, not particularly far, but according to the current rush hour, even if you take the viaduct, you have to take some time.

But the bar......

Jiang Mian thought about it, with the terrain of most bars, wouldn't it be like catching a turtle in an urn if it was surrounded, and with Pei Xingyi's IQ, he shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.

But at this moment, he didn't want to give up on this companion who had a similar experience to himself, after all, he didn't know how much more he had to go.

It's still important to keep an eye on it. Jiang Mian thought in his heart.

[Okay, you remember that my mobile phone number is 5392110398, you call me and save it for me, so that I can contact it at any time later.] 】

Jiang Mian started the taxi and drove in the direction he had described.

Within a few seconds, the mobile phone rang immediately, and Jiang Mian saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so he didn't think much about it, so he clicked on the speakerphone:

"Hey...... It's Pei Xing......"

"Jiang Mian, right?"

Not right-

Jiang Mian suddenly realized that the current call was not Pei Xingyi.

Although they are all male voices, the timbre of the other party is completely different from Pei Xingyi.

And compared with Pei Xingyi's relatively cold tone, the voice on the phone at this moment seemed more casual.

"You...... Who is it? ”

His previous experience made him subconsciously have some bad thoughts.

"It's more troublesome to explain the question of who I am, I can only say that my name is Lin Sheng, and I'm here to try to save you, a decrepit boy, so now hurry up and focus the conversation on your side."

The man on the phone was talking with a slight pant sound, as if he had just experienced a strenuous exercise.

Not long ago, Lin Sheng, who was located in front of Room 802 of Dongcheng Apartment, dialed Jiang Mian's phone again, but the sound coming from the receiver was still a reminder to the other party to turn off the phone.

Lin Sheng stood in front of the door, and immediately wanted to try to substitute the other party's situation at that time to get more information.

This is the 8th floor, and the only way down the stairs is the stairs and elevator.

But judging from the pitted depressions outside the door, there must be many "humanoids" that have been completely dominated around the door, constantly banging on the door.

From this point of view, the assimilated "humanoids" should not have the supernaturalness of the shadow ghosts themselves, otherwise they would never be able to be stopped by this ordinary door lock.

Judging from the layout of the other rooms previously explored, this is a very standard small apartment.

The total area of each household is not too large, so he will most likely find out about the situation outside as soon as possible and start thinking about how to deal with it.

Assuming that the group of humanoids does not disperse, the only way left for him to escape is the direction of the window.

Aside from the unrealistic possibility of a "gliding suit", he would have to climb the compartment of the air conditioner or make his own rope to leave.

But no matter which one he chosen, it would be difficult for him to reach the first floor directly, and he must have turned into the other rooms in the apartment.

Since the dream has not collapsed, it is clear that he has escaped safely, and there should be no high risk factors in the other rooms.

Lin Sheng recalled the open doors.

It is unknown if he was helped escape by someone from another room, or if he was acting alone.

Lin Sheng felt that there was a high probability that it would be the latter.

From the moment the subject prepares to escape, the apartment is devoid of anyone other than him......

Bang dang.

It seemed that something hit the door, Lin Sheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and the black long knife was embodied in his hand in an instant.

[Overclocking status enabled, virtual weapon module enabled, current consciousness energy value 44, please be sure to pay attention to the descent rate.] 】

The sound came from the third door on the right.

No way.

I had only just come out of that room.

How could there be anyone else......

But whether he believed it or not, the sound of footsteps that gradually overlapped and alternated around him had unreservedly presented this reality in front of his eyes.

Lin Sheng didn't hesitate, instantly moved his thighs and rushed towards the stairs, completely no longer caring about whether there would be a sound that would alarm his "person".

Just kidding, it's all in the face, and it's useless to be cautious.

Still puzzled, he had no choice but to stride down the stairs quickly, glancing at the stairs above.

The answer is self-evident.

The group of "people" running in twisted and stiff postures didn't care about squeezing and trampling on each other, and were chasing him in the fire corridor at the moment.

And because their movement is too big, every time they pass through the floor, they will wake up groups of humanoids to join the ranks of pursuit behind them, even if "they" will continue to lose their numbers because of collisions with each other, but the total number is increasing.

Lin Sheng continued to accelerate and sprint, but in the environment of the stairs, his speed was still very limited.

While solving the several "people" that kept rushing out in front of him, unconsciously, Lin Sheng was getting closer and closer to the sound of chasing behind him, but he was only a few steps away from the apartment on the first floor.

However, due to the design of this apartment, the last part of the road is a long staircase with nearly 30 steps.

Lin Sheng gritted his teeth, and the speed on his feet increased instead of decreasing.

[Limb control characteristics limit increase, the current energy value is 39, please be sure to pay attention to the descent rate.] 】

As Psy's voice sounded, Lin Sheng's figure instantly accelerated to the limit, and then he jumped directly from the last entire flight of stairs-

After landing on the ground, he made a tactical roll very reluctantly, and Lin Sheng immediately rushed out of the door of the apartment very quickly.

Then slam the door slam with your backhand and hold it back!

Kazi –

The snapping sound of the door lock is quite extreme!

[Overclocking ends, current energy value 38.] 】

Lin Sheng looked behind him, and at this time, the first batch of humanoids collided with each other at the moment the door closed, and then stopped, and new humanoids kept colliding with the former behind him.

The concrete wall around the gate hummed, as if it was about to be smashed and collapsed, and the extremely fast speed and great impact force gradually squeezed the first batch of human figures into a fleshy appearance, and the huge crowd behind them blocked the corridor on the first floor of the apartment.

It's dangerous......

Lin Sheng didn't look back and left here immediately.

If nothing else, most of the surrounding area has already fallen, and the disturbance here may immediately alarm other "people" in the vicinity.

He would never want to come back to this place unless he had to.

…………

"You must first make it clear who you are, or I will hang up."

"I've already said the reason, it's up to you whether to hang up or not, if you're not afraid of death."

Jiang Mian fell silent.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to listen to the other party's statement first.

After all, just a phone call won't cause him too much trouble, not to mention that he is driving a vehicle now and can run away at any time.

Seeing that the other party did not hang up the phone, the voice on the phone continued:

"First of all, I want to know about your side first."

The other party's tone suddenly became serious, and his calm appearance seemed to have recovered from his previous state of panting.

Jiang Mian thought for a few seconds and decided to organize the language to tell the other party.

A few minutes later, he gave a rough account of what he had experienced over the past few days.

It's just that he also had reservations in the process, and didn't mention all the location information and things about Gu Xinyu.

If he could, he didn't want to involve this kind-hearted girl, and about the inexplicable caller in front of him, he just had the mentality of being a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and didn't put too much trust into it.

Lin Sheng on the other end of the phone fell into a brief silence.

"Sure enough...... The situation after this incident has changed is already very complicated. ”

"What did you say?"

Jiang Mian didn't quite understand the content of the other party's subconscious self-talk.

"No, that's going to have to be said later, listen, I know you have reservations, so I want to make sure if there are any other people around you now?"

"Does it matter?"

Jiang Mian was a little puzzled.

"It's important."

At this moment, on an extremely remote street, Lin Sheng leaned against a heavy earthen wall, and said while being vigilant about whether there were any other figures around him.

Jiang Mian glanced at Gu Xinyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat on the side, and the latter's expression at the moment was only fear and dazedness.

"Nope."

Jiang Mian thought about it and decided to stick to his previous statement.

"If not, then you have to hear the next thing I'm going to tell you......"
