Volume 1 Chapter 15: Dead End?

After leaving the elevator rendered by blood, the group embroidered on the journey again.

Lan Xiaoqian opened the way, behind Qin Yuming's palace, Lu Ren was in the middle who made suggestions, and several panicked plot characters. This was the last strength of the entire team. If you had to find a word to describe them, "the defeated general" would be the best. But the more this happens, the more clear the Lu Ren's heart is. The fear of death is entangled with him all the time, but it is like a whip full of barbed faces. Every second is a painful whip, constantly driving him to fight the source of this fear.

(I can't die...I must live...)

He gritted his teeth secretly, Lu Ren looked up at the deep darkness ahead, his eyes were filled with calmness, like a piece of burning ice. Along the way, he saw tragic deaths. Until he saw even a veteran such as Robert being cut in front of him, Lu Ren understood in his bloody lesson that in such a cruel world, the idea of ​​"the sky falls and a tall man" would definitely not work. Everyone is a part of the struggle to survive. If they cannot work together, the only ending is to die together! It was from this moment that he really packed up the mentality of paddling and began to plan for the team wholeheartedly.

(Since I have already positioned myself as Chu Xuan, then I have to look like Chu Xuan. Even if I don’t do it well, it’s better than doing nothing!)

What is a wise man?

A wise man is the brain of the team. No matter how complicated the environment is, he must be able to make the most accurate judgment at the first time and guide the team out of the predicament! Although Lu Ren is not very smart, he has innate advantages in this regard. No matter how smart the rest of the wise man is, he always needs to have a logical reasoning process to eliminate false and exist truth, and then he can calculate the real way of life in countless complex information - but Lu Ren does not need the innate information advantage, so that he can know how to go at first glance and how to do it: in the movie, I will follow the flow; in the movie, I will do the opposite. No matter how smart Lu Ren is, he will still have the same posture as a mediocre person. Faced with such simple "yes" and "no", he will naturally make wise choices.

"Ding bee bee bee bee bee bee bee bee bee bee bee bee bee bee..."

Suddenly, a loud ringtone interrupted the deadly silence.

“It’s the emergency call system!”

Emily looked at a box embedded in the wall next to her, and a smile of surprise appeared on her face, "There are others!"

But Lu Ren walked over as if he didn't see the flashing red light on it. Then, his cold voice came to everyone's ears.

"Don't waste time, Emily. Do you remember the time misalignment I told you? That's just your own previous call."

"Is that..."

Emily's face turned dark, but her hands still pressed the answer button unwillingly.

“We are at… layer…”

An vague female voice came from the loudspeaker, and the voice was distant and hoarse, as if it had been eroded by thousands of years.

“Which layer…”

Hearing this voice, Emily immediately subconsciously asked another question. However, halfway through her question, an incredible expression suddenly appeared on her face.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Emily's expression, Ben immediately asked with concern, but Emily did not answer his words. She just hung up the communicator with a disappointed face and stared at Lu Ren in a daze.

Then, she saw the smiley expression on Lu Ren's face.

"How is it, I'm right..."

"Um……"

Emily nodded gently, and tears suddenly rolled down her eyes. She looked at everyone, and her face looked gloomy, "He was right, there was really no one in this building..."

"So what if there are other people?"

Lu Ren glanced at Emily, his face full of indifference, "Do you think in this situation, just give you a group army, can you still play with it?"

Everyone was silent. Yes, facing these monsters that transcend physical common sense, no matter how many people there are, it is just a matter of how many deaths it is.

"They are not you..."

Lan Xiaoqian's voice suddenly penetrated from the side, "Humans are all social animals after all. If there are too many people, their courage will naturally become stronger."

"Then we shouldn't be afraid." Lu Ren raised his voice slightly, "At least, you are not facing this darkness alone."

After saying that, he didn't wait for everyone to express his feelings, so he gestured to Lan Xiaoqian and signaled to continue moving forward.

The distance of dozens of meters is only a minute for everyone who is determined to travel. However, when they saw the door leading to the next floor in front of them, they still couldn't help but express a look of mixed expectations and fear.

"There is the emergency room behind the door," Emily, who is most familiar with the structure of the hospital, looked at the door. Although the door seemed to be exposed in a sun-drenched environment for decades, she said with certainty. "Walking through the emergency room is the downward staircase, from which you can go directly to the ground floor without passing through the remaining floor."

Then, in the cold expression of Lu Ren watching, Ricky pushed the door twice, with anger on his face,

"Damn, they blocked the back of the door, it's a dead end!"

"Dead?" Lu Ren shook his head and said, "Not necessarily..."

"Yes!" Ricky glanced at Lu Ren, pointed at Lan Xiaoqian and shouted in surprise, "If it were her gun, it would definitely be able to melt this door!"

"But there is not much ammunition left."

Unexpectedly, Lan Xiaoqian spread her hands and said that she didn't know how thick the brick was built behind the door. If it was too thick, not only would it not be possible to melt, but her acid gun would probably not be useful in the future.

"Is this how?" Lu Ren nodded, his expression calm, but his heart started to curse wildly.

(Damn it! You can obviously go down from here to avoid two attacks on the third floor and directly reach the second floor. There, as long as you meet the hexagonal monsters again, the world will be the end, but... Damn it! Why did you lose the chain at this time?!)

Helplessly, he had to turn his attention to Qin Yuming again and signaled him to try it with an electromagnetic rifle, but unexpectedly he got a negative answer again.

"No." After Qin Yuming observed the surrounding environment, he told Lu Ren very surely, "The environment here is too narrow. Not to mention the huge movement of the electromagnetic rifle will attract monsters. The aftermath of the impact is not something we can afford."

"Then there is nothing to do."

Lu Ren pretended to "predict" for a while before he said slowly,

"We have to go through the third floor to continue walking down, but the danger on the third floor is absolutely not small, and I can't even guarantee that we won't die. So, I ask you to keep alert at all times. Do you understand?"

(Alas, this piece of Tebirs is still not guaranteed after all...)

After seeing everyone nodding, Lu Rencai once again signaled to Lan Xiaoqian to move forward.

The dilapidated third floor, as everyone expected, if the upper floor was just a dilapidated hospital, then the original appearance of this floor was no longer visible. The blue wall paint on the wall was also mottled, revealing the loess and yellow fillings inside, which looked like a tomb chamber and more like a familiar building.

In this depressing atmosphere, even the talkative John couldn't help but close his mouth and looked around with fear.

"It seems that the dark power is even stronger at this level..."

After sighing, Lan Xiaoqian stretched out her hand and touched the yellowed and rotten curtain next to her. Immediately, the yellowed fabric was shattered like a shroud that had been buried in the ground for thousands of years, turning into fiber powder all over the ground!

"Yes." Lu Ren nodded and warned everyone again, "So, the danger we will encounter at this level is unprecedentedly great!"

"Well..." The answers one after another were suddenly interrupted by a sad call!

"Water!"

Emily shouted and took a few steps forward and squatted down. At this time, Lu Ren discovered that some corpses had begun to appear on their way forward. At this time, the corpse that Emily was calling was the attending physician of her department, Dr. Water, who was in charge of Sarah's treatment!

He walked a few steps to Emily and looked at Watt's body on the ground. Lu Ren's expression, who was mentally prepared, did not change at all. He didn't even scan the way he spoke indifferently, "There is no survivor..."

At the same time as him, Lan Xiaoqian, a girl who has experienced several killings, also has an extraordinary sense of death. She just glanced at the corpse on the ground and spoke almost at the same time with Lu Ren, "There is no survivor..."

Then, the two looked at each other before Lu Ren continued, "So, don't worry about these dead people... Keep moving forward..."

"How can you be so ruthless!"

After hearing his words, Emily, who had been squatting in front of Wat's body, stood up suddenly, and her big eyes that were crying until they were swollen and stared at Lu Ren, "He is my friend!"

"But not our friend." Lu Ren looked at her calmly, with a cold tone, "In addition, I would like to remind you again, no matter whose friend he is, he is now a dead person, unless you want to stay and be with him..."

Lu Ren's cold and cruel words made Emily shudder and dared not say anything again. Then, just as Lu Ren and Lan Xiaoqian were about to take the lead in leaving, John next to him shouted again, "Wait, look, what is this in his hand..."

Lu Ren quickly turned around and happened to see John holding a small black recorder in his left left hand, which was obviously taken out of Watt's dead body...

(Oh no... I still haven't fooled it...)

John smiled proudly, "Look, maybe this is the clue he left to us..."

Lu Ren was shocked, but before he could stop him, John had already pressed the play button of the recorder heavily!
