Chapter 48: Evil God (X)
At first it was like water dripping onto the ground, with a long interval in between, but it was obvious enough in the quiet atmosphere at that moment, causing the crowd, who were already like frightened birds, to subconsciously look around, looking for the source.
However, some people realized that the sound came from the ceiling. With the help of flashlight, they could see that the ceiling seemed to be leaking water, but the dripping liquid was red. But before they could open their mouths to talk about this, the sound quickly turned into a dripping sound, and the air was filled with the smell of blood!
It's blood!
Intermittent screams broke out from the crowd. It turned out that the blood had fallen on some of them, instantly corroding their bodies like sulfuric acid .
When they saw blood seeping out of some of the rooms on the second floor through their windows and doors, Qiao Yuan, Song Yanchi and some people who were quick to react had already run towards the stairs, while those who didn't have time to run only hesitated for a few seconds before they could no longer move their legs. More and more blood was seeping out of the ceiling, and the sound changed from dripping to splashing, like a heavy rain.
The crowd screamed from time to time, and some people subconsciously tried to cover their heads that were covered with blood, but when they raised their hands, they found that the skin from their hands to their arms had been corroded, revealing the white bones. What he didn't know was that his head had also been corroded by the blood, and a hole had already spread outward.
Some people endured the pain of their skin being corroded and ran upstairs, trying to catch up with their companions who had gone upstairs earlier. However, the joy of surviving the disaster was soon ended by the other party's terrified gazes and constant dodging. They saw some girls looking at them as if they were going to vomit in the next second, and some boys also showed fear on their faces and asked tremblingly who they were.
From the flashlights and avoidant gazes, they finally pieced together their appearance - their heads and faces had been almost completely corroded, their facial features twisted and squeezed together, some of the flesh on their faces falling off as they approached, and some of it hanging on to their faces with only a few sticky flesh, and their hands and feet had turned into white bones.
They have become monsters.
Upon realizing this, some people let out a roar of collapse, but their roars became even hoarser due to damaged vocal cords. Some people walked towards their companions without giving up, causing them to flee in all directions. But some people turned around in silence and rushed to the second floor which had turned into a pool of blood. Their figures were quickly swallowed up by the blood, and even their corpses did not float up.
Even Song Yanchi's mood was affected to some extent when he saw this scene.
Looking around, everyone was shocked by this scene.
Except Qiao Yuan.
She was looking at everyone carefully. If He was present at the scene and saw this scene that should have pleased Him, He might reveal some flaws. However, the light was dim, and Qiao Yuan could only be sure that everyone's expressions were normal. Except for some people who appeared calm or even numb and looked like players, everyone else looked terrified.
If the first floor brings pure fear to everyone, the experience on the second floor has caused many people to suffer the psychological torture of thinking about what they would do if they or their friends became like that.
When something strange happened again on the next floor, some people were either still weak in the knees due to what happened before, or could no longer withstand the continuous shocks. They stopped moving their legs and stood there silently, accepting their death. Fewer and fewer people escaped.
By the time the group escaped to the fifth floor, only an hour had passed since they entered the building.
The original team of 200 to 300 people was reduced to only 20 or so people, and everyone was nervous. Among them were Li Wu, Ye Ziyan, and Lu Huanzhi, whom Qiao Yuan had seen before. They stood together again.
After waiting for a while and finding nothing unusual on the fifth floor, everyone stopped where they were. But this time no one dared to sit on the floor, no matter how tired they were, they could only lean against the wall for a while. The lights on the fifth floor couldn't be turned on, but after what happened before, no one would care about such trivial matters.
Ye Ziyan's feet were stained with blood on the second floor, and had been corroded into bones. Li Wu carried him to this floor. Although Li Wu's chest was heaving violently and he looked out of breath, he still looked optimistic and even tried to comfort the depressed person next to him.
Qiao Yuan finally made some time. While no one was looking at their phones, he adjusted the brightness to avoid others noticing his presence. He took out his phone and sent Him a tentative message, preparing to find out more about the situation.
After all, everything that just happened seemed to have nothing to do with what the other party said.
However, at the moment she sent the message, she suddenly heard Li Wu's threatening voice not far away: "Lu Huanzhi, you are still looking at your phone in such a dark environment? What if you are nearsighted?"
"Hey, stop blocking the phone screen, I really don't want to see it..."
Hearing Li Wu's words, Qiao Yuan looked up suddenly. Lu Huanzhi was still holding the phone in his hand, with his slender fingers covering the screen, just blocking the prying eyes.
Because they had just been running for their lives, and some people had not rested well for the whole day, no one was in the mood to check their phones. Some people took the opportunity to lean against the wall and close their eyes to rest and recuperate. For example, Song Yanchi, who never put down his phone in the real world, rarely touched his phone in the dungeon. And according to Li Wu, it was just a coincidence that he took out his phone almost as soon as she sent the message...
As if he sensed someone's gaze on him, Lu Huanzhi looked over, but Qiao Yuan had already looked away by then, so his eyes did not meet anyone's.
Although Qiao Yuan looked away, the doubts in his heart did not disappear. Yu Guangzhong and Lu Huanzhi had put away their phones, and Qiao Yuan did not receive a reply from him.
Could it be that Lu Huanzhi is...
As soon as this thought came into her mind, she felt her feet sink and she quickly lowered her head to check the situation.
The marble floor had become as soft and elastic as skin, and someone fell into it the next second. Everyone realized that there was something wrong with the floor and scattered, and the lights also scattered. However, many people were still a step too late.
This time, Qiao Yuan became one of them.
One of Qiao Yuan's feet had sunk into the water. Although it didn't hurt, it was as if this part had disappeared out of thin air, as if it was no longer a part of his body.
Someone next to him was also trapped in it, and he raised his hands to pull himself out, but the moment his hands touched the floor, they were also swallowed up.
Although Qiao Yuan couldn't see clearly, he could guess what happened after hearing the other party shout "my hand" and gave up the idea of supporting himself on the ground to pull himself out.
Song Yanchi, on the other hand, had not noticed anything wrong because he trusted Qiao Yuan, and was looking for a room where he could push open the door and hide. The fifth floor was already the top floor, and everyone knew that they could not run downstairs, so they could only subconsciously hide in the surrounding rooms. When he ran into one of the rooms, he realized that Qiao Yuan did not follow him. However, because it was pitch black inside and outside the room, he could not determine Qiao Yuan's location, so he could only shout his name: "Qiao Yuan!"
Qiao Yuan was still trying to save himself at this time.
Fortunately, even at this time, she remained calm. After noticing that the rhythm of the other party's vibrations and pulse was similar, she had already formed a plan in her mind.
She opened the mobile store and found the dagger she had seen before. After deducting 150 health points, a delicate dagger appeared in her hand.
At this time, Qiao Yuan's body below the waist had been swallowed up and he had lost contact with her. However, she did not panic. She simply raised the dagger and stabbed it hard.
As the dagger pierced into the floor like piercing into the skin, she used almost all her strength, and the entire dagger was sunk into the floor, even the handle was immersed in it.
The floor shook violently as if in pain, and the next second, Qiao Yuan was thrown away. Fortunately, she still held the phone tightly, so the embarrassing situation of human and machine separation did not happen.
While the floor was still undulating and hadn't swallowed up any more people, Qiao Yuan immediately ran towards the direction where Song Yanchi's voice came from. At the moment when she was about to step into the room, someone suddenly rushed up and pushed her away, apparently wanting to rush into the room first.
However, at the moment when the other party tried to push him away, Qiao Yuan had already grabbed the man's arm with his backhand, and used the other party's strength to stand firm, while the other party lost his balance and fell.
After Qiao Yuan entered the room, he heard footsteps one after another behind him, and the man shouted: "Who stepped on me?! Ah... someone help me..."
The footsteps stopped for a moment, and the man's shouting and cursing also stopped. Then there were footsteps entering the room and the swearing villain complained first: "Whoever pushed me, if I know, I will definitely kill him..."
After realizing that there were other people in the room, Qiao Yuan stopped, not wanting to expose his position by making any noise.
At the same time, she smelled a pungent odor, which was obviously from the room.
The others obviously smelled the smell too, and someone was the first to say, "A-choo—"
"Who brought a flashlight?"
From the sound of the voice, it seems to be someone Qiao Yuan knows——
Li Wu.
Accompanied by a timid voice, the light of a flashlight rang out. Although it was not as bright as an electric lamp, it was still bright enough to illuminate the area where they were standing.
Only then did everyone realize that the distance between them was not far.
Li Wu stood in one place with Ye Ziyan on his back, Qiao Yuan, Song Yanchi and Lu Huanzhi stood separately, and the remaining one man and two women stood together. It was one of the girls who turned on the flashlight.
Song Yanchi was relieved to find Qiao Yuan was there too, and then walked over: "I'm glad you're okay."
Qiao Yuan nodded, and then glanced briefly at the boy. He was the one who had tried to push her but failed. When she saw his face clearly, she realized that she had seen him before. He was one of the people on the basketball court, and she classified him as a player.
At this time, the boy was impatiently saying to the girl holding the flashlight: "Why didn't you take out the flashlight earlier?"
"I was so nervous just now that I forgot..." The girl tried to explain. From the sweat on her forehead and her shaking hands, it can be seen that she really did not lie. She finally escaped and entered the room to take a breath. If Li Wu hadn't suddenly reminded her, she would not have remembered the flashlight at all.
The red-haired girl standing next to her interrupted her and turned to the boy and said, "What's your attitude? If we hadn't helped you up just now, you would have died a long time ago..."
Being contradicted by the NPC, the boy, who is a player, felt his self-esteem was hurt, and his tone was obviously angry and embarrassed: "You... who knows if it was you who pushed it?"
"I didn't ask you to pull me up. I told you, be polite to me. Do you know how much health I have? You might even ask me to save you later..."
Li Wu's voice rang out: "Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing, it's fate that we're all here together."
"Brother, how can a boy like you treat a girl like this? It's obvious that you don't have a girlfriend..."
Qiao Yuan's gaze fell on Lu Huanzhi, who was watching all this with a smile on his lips, but when he noticed someone's gaze falling on him, he instantly put away his smile.
It was Ye Ziyan's voice that finally stopped the dispute: "How did we get in?"
“Who came in first?!
Listening carefully, his voice seemed to tremble a little.
Li Wu was also a little stunned: "Ye Ziyan, you..."
Ye Ziyan's tone was too serious. Song Yanchi finally frowned and said, "It's me. Just push the door and come in."
Ye Ziyan murmured to himself: "How is it possible? The key to the morgue is with me..."
Qiao Yuan, Song Yanchi, Lu Huanzhi and Li Wu all changed their expressions.
The boy was already angry, and was suddenly interrupted by him, making him even angrier: "What wet pants..."
His voice stopped abruptly when Li Wu suddenly took the girl's flashlight and shone the light in the direction.
Not far from them, there was a pond about two meters long, and the water was turbid brown and yellow.
However, what attracted everyone was several figures in the pool with their backs to them, without clothes, and immersed in liquid below the abdomen.
As if they had noticed everyone's gazes, the figures suddenly turned around, swaying, causing the water in the pool to make a splashing sound.
