Chapter 31 He's dead!
"run!"
Lin Xiao's cold voice shattered the nauseating silence in the passageway.
The three of them barely ran; instead, they leaped and landed heavily on the platform at the corner of the stairs.
After all, this is the only way down the stairs, and even if we don't know what lies at the bottom, we have to risk going forward!
After all, the pressure from behind was closing in, and if they hesitated even slightly, they would be overtaken!
The light in the stairwell allowed them to see the way ahead clearly.
"This is..." Hu Long's pupils widened.
The walls were covered with large patches of dark red and brownish-black dried blood in a spray-like pattern.
Scattered on the ground were unrecognizable pieces of tattered cloth and fragments of equipment soaked in blood, with several long, bloody handprints, marked by desperate dragging, running from the wall to the floor.
The air was filled with a strong, pungent smell of rust and decay.
The traces of cleaning on the subway cars are now much more obvious than before.
Shen Ye watched this scene unfold.
It seems that it wasn't just that one team that entered this area.
However... they were all wiped out before they even had a chance to enter.
But now is not the time to study this.
"run!"
The monster was incredibly fast, crashing into the wall with no effort, making a loud thud, but it didn't seem to feel any pain and immediately turned towards the stairs.
All three were very fast.
Hu Long was panting heavily, giving it his all.
Lin Xiao gripped his long sword tightly. He could have been faster, but he didn't stray from the group.
Shen Ye, on the other hand, was quite adept at handling the situation. With the evolution points gained from the pollution mutation, his current physical attributes were not much different from those of a level 15 person, according to ordinary people.
Of course, Lin Xiao is stronger, after all, he is a professional and can also gain more evolution points through pollution.
The heavy screech of pursuit echoed urgently in everyone's ears through the stairwell!
The roars continued! They seemed to be right behind my ears!
Each step carried a force that made the ground tremble slightly, and saliva even dripped onto the ground, making a sizzling, corrosive sound!
"Tap...tap...tap...tap..."
Their footsteps pounded like a death knell, relentlessly assaulting our senses!
Meanwhile.
As they frantically descended the stairs, they discovered even more traces: besides splattered bloodstains on the walls, there were countless deep furrows, as if scraped by enormous, sharp claws!
Shen Ye witnessed this scene.
It's as if many teams entered this place in batches, some teams were wiped out here, while others went further in.
Why?
So the team is all here to rescue people?
And who is behind all this, constantly bringing these teams into this place?
However, there was no time to think about it right now.
because.
"roar!"
As the roar erupted, the distance displayed on the death line also drew closer and closer.
Can this monster even unleash a burst of power?
However, they left the staircase and suddenly rushed to the bottom floor!
This is a spacious, enclosed space, and on the left, right, and front sides, there are three metal doors.
The left and right sides are closed, while only the front side is open.
There were not many options left; one could only enter through the door directly in front.
But Lin Xiao always felt that there was an astonishing danger inside!
But there was no time to think, because heavy footsteps and the sound of dripping slime were already coming from the stairwell!
The suffocating stench and the cold, sticky malice had surged down the stairs like a tide, filling the ground floor space!
And just then!
"Don't step through that door, it's a dead end! This door! Quickly!"
A hoarse, deep voice came out of nowhere from the rightmost door!
The previously closed right-side door was also opened.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment!
Without time to verify, he chose to trust his intuition.
"right!"
He rushed toward the door on the right!
Hu Long naturally chose to follow!
Just as their bodies rushed into the dark crack in the door, an exceptionally powerful arm suddenly reached out, grabbed their shoulders and pulled them inward. At the same time, a heavy, rusty metal security door was violently pulled open from the inside by a tremendous force!
"Bang!!!"
The heavy metal door slammed shut just as Hu Long and Lin Xiao rushed in, grazing their heels! The deafening crash echoed through the narrow passage, sending up a cloud of dust from the edge of the door frame.
Almost at the same second the door closed—
"Thump!!!!!"
A terrifying, deafening crash, like a battering ram striking a city wall, suddenly came from outside the door! The entire heavy metal protective door bulged and deformed violently inward, emitting a metallic, teeth-grinding sound!
The enormous tremor traveled through the walls and the ground, so strong that Hu Long's eardrums felt displaced as he fell to the ground, still shaken!
Thick dust fell from the door in a flurry!
Although Hu Long was panting heavily, he immediately crawled away from the doorway, turned over, and pointed the gun at the metal door that was still groaning under its own weight. His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of his chest!
Lin Xiao pressed down on the gun in his hand: "It can't get in."
Outside the door, the heavy thud paused for a moment, followed by a chilling, loud, and sharp scraping sound, as if something was frantically scratching at the metal door with hard limbs or sharp claws, making a piercing "sizzle-sizzle" noise, accompanied by a low, furious, and hungry growl.
"Heh...heh..."
Then, as if losing sight of its goal, it gradually moved away.
"Congratulations, you two are safe for now." The voice that had guided them earlier rang out calmly again.
Thank you.
Hu Long, catching his breath briefly, was still feeling a bit exhausted from surviving the ordeal, and quickly expressed his gratitude.
But then he suddenly froze.
"Wait, two?"
Hu Long subconsciously turned his head and stared wide-eyed.
Where is Shen Ye?
Lin Xiao silently shook his head.
In the final moments, for some reason he didn't notice Shen Ye's whereabouts much. Although he was also running, he actually had the energy to pay attention.
But after thinking about it carefully, I realized I really didn't see where that guy went.
At that moment, the same voice rang out again.
"A third person?"
"I just saw it."
Inside the room... the dim light came from the backup emergency lights, allowing Lin Xiao to see the person who had just saved them.
It was a man wearing a tactical vest, smoking, with a full beard and a high nose, who exhaled a puff of smoke:
"He left you and went toward the door directly ahead."
"Was it intentional or accidental?" Hu Long couldn't help but ask.
Lin Xiao also frowned deeply. Shen Ye didn't seem like a brainless and reckless person in the carriage, so why did he leave?
"How would I know?"
The bearded man said calmly, "All I know is that there's only one ending for him..."
"die."
Lin Xiao frowned: "Why?"
But then the bearded man pulled out a screen with a map on it, which seemed to be a miniature of the room.
There's also a red dot moving slowly above it.
"Do you see this red dot?"
Lin Xiao nodded.
"This is the monster that just made you run your legs off..."
"And inside that door..."
He zoomed in a hundred times with his finger, and a huge and complex topographic profile was emerging.
Simultaneously.
Their pupils constricted sharply!
Because countless red dots were flashing within it, as if they were about to devour everything!
