Something strange happened.

Not long after the siege of the stairwell, a group of mutants suddenly faded away, retreating very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there was silence outside the stairwell that was still lively just now, and the corridor outside the stairwell instantly became empty, leaving only the remains of two mutants, and no more mutants were active in the dim corridor.

The soldiers in charge of the defense, as loyal warriors of the Pinter family, had dealt with the edge many times, but it was the first time they saw a mutant that would suddenly retreat, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and when they reacted a moment later, the corridor had become empty, leaving only a few soldiers looking at each other.

When Babu and Monica went down to the fifth floor, they saw such a strange scene, and the soldiers were at a loss to whisper into the uninhabited hallway, discussing such a discordant scene.

In fact, Babu and Monica had never seen each other, and in their minds, the mutant should react like the monsters in the square outside the clock tower the night before, and they would rush to the ground until one side was wiped out.

But after the anomaly that was just discovered as a foreshadowing, the two of them were already mentally prepared, without revealing any surprise, and their calm performance left a distinct impression in the hearts of the panicked soldiers around them. It naturally has the power to soothe people.

The soldiers secretly made up for this, and unconsciously showed admiration and awe in their eyes, but no one knew that the worshipful Lord Babu in their eyes stared at the corridor with a solemn expression because...... Distracted.

Because when he went down to the fifth floor, a pair of small hands suddenly wrote and drew quickly on his chest.

"Be careful, Babu."

Babu was stunned, Anna rarely communicated with him unless he was in a safe environment, and in order not to distract Babu's attention with irreparable consequences, the little guy had been trying to play the role of a good pillow. Only in some special cases that can be very troublesome, the little one will react.

Like now.

"What?" Babu's skillful backhand wrote in the palm of the little guy behind him, "Dangerous?"

"Not dangerous, but, Babu, dangerous, unless, I, do it, like, in the East Valley City, but, temporary, reaction, not necessarily, in time, it's better to do so, like just now, like that."

Babu knew that the little thing was talking about the same as when she was on the sixth floor, and she directly turned into a dagger and hid it close to her, but after a moment's hesitation, he rubbed the little thing's already shiny blonde hair.

"I'll be careful, with the utmost caution about what to do, thank you, little one." With a doting smile, Babu wrote in the palm of Anna's hand, "There are too many people here, you hide yourself and don't expose yourself."

Little Anna's fingers hovered in the air for a moment, and she wrote a hmm, then pressed her face against Babu's face and rubbed it hard, revealing a happy smile. However, the Babu in front of him couldn't see the expression of the girl behind him, so he just pressed the little guy's head again and continued to ask, "Are you talking about chaos, do you mean the fifth layer?"

Little Anna drew a big puzzle symbol, and then wrote heavily: "Below, three, four, or five floors, safer, some."

"Okay, thank you." Babu pulled the little guy's nose with his backhand, "Go back and let the Pinter's kitchen prepare chicken legs for you to eat, as many as you want."

"Don't, don't lie." Anna immediately forgot what was dangerous and not, and in the blink of an eye, her saliva wet Babu's neck.

"Looks like things aren't going well." Then Babu said to Monica on the side, "It is said

Monica gestured to Anna with a look in her eyes, and after receiving an affirmative answer, she asked in a low voice, "For us, with a large group of soldiers, even if we encounter a commander-level mutant, it won't be troublesome."

Babu smiled wryly and nodded.

"So, maybe we're lucky enough to be in the pile, and we can't help but have a cold war,"

There's nothing more troublesome to do."

"That maybe, in case of your luck along the way, it won't be strange if something strange happens."

"Shut up." Monica gave Babu an elbow angrily, "You guy is not allowed to talk this kind of nonsense in the future, it's too easy to become a reality."

"Haha, don't worry this time, there are definitely no gods here," Babu said lightly, "I'm curious what it is that can make the little guy feel troubled."

"Maybe...... It's something that makes the mutants behave exceptionally?" Monica drew her whip, slapped her palms and chuckled, "Aren't we travelers wandering the edge just to see unseen landscapes and explore the endless unknown? If you don't take a closer look, I'm sorry for the good opportunity to send it to your door."

Babu smiled, pulled up his hood to cover his face, and looked at the six elite soldiers sent down by Mondo. They are all very elite soldier-level warriors, and two of them have even touched the threshold of the elite level, and they are almost catching up with Mondo's energy level, which shows that he really strictly abides by Babu's instructions and sends the most elite troops. What's even more valuable is that the spiritual resistance of these elite warriors is very high, and they have been in for so long, and the concentration of polluting energy on the six people is still very light, and it seems that they can hold on for a long time.

"Very good, at first glance, they are all experienced edge fighters." Babu and Monica glanced at each other, nodded with satisfaction, and in the dark stairwell, with the help of the torches lit, Babu tapped his fingers on the structural diagram that had been drawn and said, "The third, fourth, and fifth floors are very special for this building, not as monotonous as the sixth- and seventh-story cloister structure, nor like the first and second floors, which are dominated by open halls, the third, fourth, and fifth floors are all small rooms, and the path is tortuous, and the corridors are relatively narrow, and it is easy to get lost when walking in it."

As he spoke, the Báb laid out the structural diagram in front of everyone so that everyone could see it clearly, and although they did not understand it very well, the soldiers could still see the complicated situation that the Báb had said from the drawings. On a huge drawing representing tens of thousands of square meters, there are more than 100 small rooms of different sizes, and the connecting corridors between them are twisted and turned, making the entire floor look like a labyrinth.

Babu had circled everyone's current location with a pen, and the soldiers tried to search for a passage that could be navigated through the map like a maze game, but after a few glances, they gave up their attempts, and some soldiers lamented that they would rather fight with the mutants than continue to be tormented by the complex map.

Monica smiled reservedly, in fact, she had already been tortured once last night. She studied the structure for half an hour, then stepped on the bab gracefully, and then gave up planning the route. Of course, she knew that Babu was not able to draw a diagram of the structure from the outside by looking around from the outside, as he said, and it must have been a treasure from her previous memory, but it was enough to be proud that he could remember such a complex structure without any mistakes.

"I'm not forcing you to write down the whole picture." Babu's sudden serious tone made the soldiers pay attention to it, "However, if you can remember as much as you can, when it comes to the critical moment, what you remember is likely to save your life."

The soldiers felt their veins jumping, but no matter how reluctant, Babu's attitude made them start to seriously look at the drawings and record the terrain one by one. After a long while, Babu put away the drawings and said to the soldiers: "Unlike the tactics above, it is not realistic to completely clean up this place, so they have followed me for a while, and I have planned a path through every room as much as possible, but the terrain is too complicated, accidents can happen at any time, and the risk of being flanked by front and rear or even multiple sides cannot be ruled out, so everyone has given me to be vigilant and ready to respond to sneak attacks at any time."

"Understood."

Under the influence of the atmosphere, the soldiers' answers became uniform, and Monica thought about muttering a few words in Babu's ear, and hurried back to the sixth floor, and soon ran down again, and then not long after, the floor began to shake again, and the roar was faintly heard.

"I asked Mondo to dispose of the stairs from the fifth floor to the fourth floor, so that at least for a short time, I don't have to worry about the mutants on the fourth floor coming up." Monica explained to the soldiers, "Take it lightly and try not to mention it

Alert the mutants inside, and let us sneak up on them, not let them sneak up on us."

"Yes." The neat answer was like thunder, fortunately, the door of the stairwell was very soundproof, otherwise the mutants on the smaller half floor inside would be Jingdong, Babu sighed, glared at a group of soldiers helplessly, made a silent gesture, and then gently opened the blast door of the stairwell on the fifth floor.

The dimly lit hallway stretched in several different directions in front of the eyes, all the way into the deep darkness, and the thick carpet was covered with large patches of blood and tearing marks. The walls that had once been golden were now riddled with holes, the valuables used for decoration had long since been looted, and there were holes scattered in many places, which Monica could tell were the marks of the bullets that Babu had lifted earlier. new

There was no direct window to the outside, and the corridor in front of me was so dark that the range that could be seen was only a few meters, so that even the roof was shrouded in a haze, and those once exquisite oil paintings and reliefs turned into a horde of shadowy monsters in the dimness, looking down condescendingly and shuddering.

Listen carefully, the entire fifth floor is surprisingly quiet, except for the faint sound of tearing down the stairs in the distance, no movement can be heard, just now on the fifth floor and the mutant all kinds of lively attacks and defenses seem to have become a dream, now the dream has woken up, so it is back to the dead silence. But the soldiers knew very well that it was not a dream at all, and there were many mutants who had retreated back to the fifth floor, and were now hiding in the dark, from the rooftops, from the corners, from behind the doors, from the secret passages, with cloudy and crazy eyes, secretly watching the lone army deep in.

So for a while, the soldiers felt that there were vicious peeping eyes everywhere around them, and before they really encountered the enemy, the fear of the unknown was already pressed on everyone's hearts.

Babu let out a long breath, and for a moment it seemed as if two worlds overlapped in front of him, one was brightly lit with tourists and vigilant security guards passing through the corridors from time to time, and the other was bleak, littered with garbage and debris, a post-apocalyptic scene.

"I'm here again, Curator René, I hope I lost one of the treasures of the town hall, and I didn't let you be dismissed."

In a trance, Babu whispered to himself, until his hand was held by a rough hand, and then he woke up from the illusion of memory, smiled comfortingly at Monica, who was concerned, and then pointed in one direction, and then walked first. And the soldiers behind you, you look at me, I look at you, although the heart is beating wildly, but still clench the weapons in their hands, and carefully follow behind Babu and Monica.

The one chosen is the corridor leading to the left, the long corridor leads straight into the distance, there is no end in sight, but there is not a single door on the left and right sides, even if the searchlight is lit, there is no entrance or exit as far as the eye can see, it seems to be different from Babu's drawing, and looking ahead of the corridor, at the end of the searchlight, there is a wall, making the corridor a dead end.

However, the Báb did not change his course, but went straight on, and the soldiers followed closely as they were told, and a special person was assigned to guard against attacks from behind.

After walking less than ten meters along the seemingly dead-end corridor, Babu finally stopped, and there were still many undamaged paintings on the walls around him, still showing the glory of the old days. Babu looked up at a painting above him and smiled, then pushed it upwards with a click, and with a clatter, the wall moved inward, revealing a darker, darker corridor inside.

The silence was as good as ever, after the sound of the secret door opening just now, the silence around returned to death, but this time, in the dead silence, there were occasionally very faint footsteps, faintly coming from the darkness, and the footsteps were sometimes near and far away, making people unpredictable.

A group of people entered, and soon after the last person also entered, the door of the secret passage closed automatically, and there was no trace of it in close contact with the wall, just like such a large team suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
