Chapter 51
She's almost out of her previous embarrassment now.
'——I can't stop talking to Ling Mo in the future, can I?'
Anyway, it's fine for her not to mention what happened just now, as long as she's not embarrassed, then Ling Mo is the one who will get embarrassed.
Well, she thought so.
At least in her opinion, Ling Mo must be shyer than her, maybe his current calmness is all a bluff.
If she thought about it this way, she wouldn't get so emotional.
Of course, she is now more concerned with the current problem. The so-called impatience leads to chaos. In her opinion, Ling Mo can deduce other players situation from a bullet casing, but they obviously still ignore some more important information.
For example, a running elevator.
There are three elevators on the side of the hall on the first floor, two of which stay on the first floor, but the elevator in the middle has reached the 19th floor and is still going up.
At this point in time, it is impossible for the NPCs to use the elevator, and the probability of the infected using them is small, so it's reasonable to guess that there should be several other players inside.
Ling Mo was also shocked by this discovery, paused for a few seconds, and then asked.
"Then shall we take the elevator?"
"We can try it."
Xia Xinyan nodded.
"See which floor they go to, and let's follow."
There is generally no hostility between players, they don't have to worry about the other party being an enemy, and at this point in time, more people means more chances of survival—— in various senses.
Also, in such a tall building, although they can climb the stairs, it'll definitely consume a lot of energy. If they encounter a group of infected people on the top of the building, it's obviously too much to deal with them in a state where they have exhausted a lot of energy.
Although it is risky to take an elevator, it's worth a try if there are predecessors to path the way.
"Then I'll call the two of them back."
Ling Mo thought for a while, then turned around and caught up with Fatty and the others.
The elevator in the middle finally stopped at the 41st floor. After Fatty and Murong Yue were called back by Ling Mo, the four of them boarded another elevator and pressed the button for the same floor.
The process of going up was pretty smooth, at least they didn't encounter such a clichéd scenario of a power outage halfway, until the elevator slowly stopped on the 41st floor, the four of them also raised their vigilance, everyone sticking to the sides, aiming with guns out.
The elevator door opened slowly, and the first thing that caught their eyes was an overturned table in the office hall ahead, and the two people squatting behind the table with only a muzzle and half of their heads exposed.
"Who is it?!"
"Don't shoot! I'm human!"
The fat man shouted immediately, and at the same time stretched out a hand to indicate that he wasn't hostile.
The other side shouted again.
"Player?!"
"Player!"
"Damn, scared to death."
the two stood up.
"I thought zombies would use elevators."
"Then this dungeon can't be won."
The fat man came out first with a smile.
"How are you guys doing today do?"
The other man paused suddenly.
"Why did you say 'do'?"
Fatty: "..."
"Because he was infected."
Murong Yue walked out afterward, and glanced at the two of them.
"Well, do you have the vaccine?"
The two immediately became vigilant.
"No, the nearest vaccine distribution point is a few kilometers away, and we are not infected, so why take the risk?"
"Fair."
Murong Yue shrugged.
One of the men stared at the fat man with a strange expression.
"Is he infected? How long has he been infected?"
"I don't know, but at least the skin hasn't turned red, right do?"
The fat man took two steps back to express his harmlessness.
"Don't be nervous do, I will kill myself when I really can't control myself, I will never cheat my teammates, I promise do"
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, then nodded.
"We can ignore it now, if you really mutate, then don't blame us for killing you, got it?"
"Ok ok, I'll do it myself when the time comes."
Fatty was quite open-minded.
After the two parties reached a consensus, they introduced each other. The two men, one named Wang Wen and the other named Cheng Yong, were built like bodybuilding champions, but the contrast brought about by actions that did not conform to their appearance and temperament was quite interesting.
I heard that the two of them are friends in real life, and they spawned on the same bed by coincidence. According to the information they learned, the game set them up as a pair of gay lovers.1
This gave Ling Mo a new understanding of the game.
In such a comparison, the act of putting him and Xia Xinyan on the same bed did not seem so excessive.
As for the remaining two players, they haven't seen them before. Ling Mo had a relationship with one of them in the traffic jam scene at the beginning, but now it seems that the two should be dead.
Six out of eight players can survive to the final mission, which seems to be a good survival rate.
It is worth mentioning that when the chaos erupted yesterday, the two of them also found a pack of bombs, which were also found in a police station. There were 10 bombs in total, all of which can be detonated through a controller. Press the button to activate the bombs—— the game probably simplified it.
Before the four of them came over, they planned to use explosives to blow up all the routes leading to the upper floor, so as to prevent the infected people below from catching up. After all, those infected people don't know how to use elevators.
They originally planned to take the stairs to the top floor, but there were quite a lot of infected people in this building. They cleaned up from the first floor to the fifth floor, and the ammunition consumption rate far exceeded their estimates. There was no other way, so they chose to take the elevator.
And considering that there are so many infected people in the streets below, it would be a huge threat if they all rushed in, so they had already started making preparations before they got on the elevator—— they had already planted bombs on all the stairs on the fifth floor , Using up four of the bombs.
"There are still more than 20 floors from here to the top of the building. Are you planning to blow up the stairs here?"
Ling Mo asked after knowing their plan.
Wang Wen nodded.
"We intend to blow up the stairs under the corridor, at least we can still cross the corridors."
"The corridors are still on the upper floors, and the bombing can be started from here."
Cheng Yong continued.
"Let's go up first, time is running out."
Murong Yue looked around.
"Are there many infected people in this building?"
"I can only say... A lot."
Wang Wen shook his head.
"We have basically cleared this floor, but I am worried about the self-explosion. If there are more infected people, this building may collapse."
"Probably not..."
Cheng Yong hesitated.
As soon as the voice fell, a game reminder suddenly appeared in everyone's mind——
《Important news: The rescue helicopter is about to arrive at Block A of Guangling building. The noise has attracted a large number of infected people to gather in the building, prepare for the attack.》
Ling Mo: "...Okay, now it's interesting"
