Chapter 73
Chapter 69: Back To The Ground
“A ten percent increase, I am afraid that even if it is true, it will not have a special feeling, and it is highly likely that it will work in the heart.”
Wang Xuan looked up, but saw that everyone looked at him with some envy.
They are all wearing tattered clothes now, even worse than beggars, but they have helmets and upper body leather armor, which inevitably makes them feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Lei quickly counted the crystal scales and said, “Twenty-four in total, here it is.”
Said and handed these crystal scales to Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan took it. These crystal scales are very precious, so it is safer to keep them by yourself. He said, “With so many crystal scales, we can buy more leather armor and knee pads. Everyone can share several pieces.”
Standing up while speaking, everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard this.
Zhang Haofei immediately said, “Then let’s hurry up and find that vending machine again. The pants on my body are so torn that my **** is exposed.”
After he said this, he glanced at Gu Manyao. He originally thought that she was a girl and would be shy when he heard it, but Gu Manyao was expressionless and did not respond to his words.
After a series of life-and-death battles, almost dying several times, everyone’s nerves were a little numb, and she was shy and what she saw no longer existed, and nothing was more important than living.
Wang Xuan put the crystal scales and parchment paper into the leather armor, and saw that except for the weapons, everyone’s backpacks and food were lost, and said: “It seems that we need to find food again.”
His physical strength slowly recovered, and a strong hunger and thirst rose in his abdomen, and now he just wanted to get out of here and find food and water.
Hearing what Wang Xuan said, Zhao Lei knew what he meant, and immediately said: “If everyone rests almost, let’s go, and leave this **** place early.”
Recalling the previous experience, he almost died, and he still had lingering fears for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
Especially when he thought of the resentful look Xu Mengyun looked at her when she was dying, it was like a sharp needle stabbing in his heart, as long as she thought about it, she felt uncomfortable.
“She resented that I didn’t save her, but she didn’t understand that I couldn’t protect herself at the time, so how could she save her? If she could strengthen herself a little bit and try to kill monsters to become stronger, maybe she wouldn’t die…”
Zhao Lei thought silently, fortunately no one mentioned Xu Mengyun, which made him feel a little better.
Everyone stood up one after another. Gu Manyao was seriously injured. After this period of recovery, although not completely healed, it was better for the most part.
Zhang Haofei said, “Do you think we should go to the food court or go inside?”
The wall at the end of the food city cracked a huge crack. Now everyone is in this crack. After walking out of the crack, they can return to the food city. There is another passage in the depth of the crack, but everyone does not know where to go.
Gu Manyao said: “Go back to the food court to find food and water.”
Wang Xuan looked towards the depths of the crack, his brows slightly wrinkled.
The depths of the crack were a little dark, and everyone couldn’t see what was at the end. Zhao Lei noticed Wang Xuan’s demeanor and immediately said, “Wang Xuan, is there something in here?” He knew that Wang Xuan’s eyesight was better than his own, maybe he Can see the dark depths.
Wang Xuan said slowly: “There seems to be… a staircase.”
“Staircase?” Li Haotian reacted immediately after everyone was stunned, and hurriedly said: “Wang Xuan, do you mean the stairs upstairs?”
Wang Xuan said: “It’s too far away, I can’t see clearly, but it looks like…”
Li Haotian looked excited and said, “If it’s really going up the stairs, it’s the one leading to the first floor.”
Zhao Lei was equally excited and said, “Whether it is or not, we will find out when we go and see.”
Wang Xuan snorted, and suddenly saw that the end of the distance vaguely resembled a staircase. He was also very excited. He had been trapped in this parking lot for several days. Exhausted, all want to escape this damned place as soon as possible.
Now I suddenly see the stairs going up, how can I not be excited.
“Let’s go, let’s go and have a look. I hope we won’t be disappointed this time.” Zhang Haofei shouted and looked at the depths of the crack with anticipation. Unfortunately, his eyesight was not as good as Wang Xuan’s, and he could only see the darkness there. Can’t see anything.
Tie Jun said slowly: “I think everyone should not expect too much. It’s better to maintain a normal attitude, so that at least you won’t be too desperate.”
The nine people who entered Longmao Square with him are now the only one left to die. He always has a feeling in his heart that if they can’t get out, all of them may die here.
Even if you do see the stairs going up, I’m afraid it’s not an exit, but a dead end.
Zhao Lei said: “Brother Tie, don’t be too negative, I think we are trapped here, and we can become stronger by killing monsters. There are rules to all of this, there must be a reason, and there must be a rule. If you are alive, if you simply want us to die here, then make those monsters stronger at the beginning, and we will all be destroyed, and we will not be able to come here alive.”
Gu Manyao said: “Yes, what you said makes sense. I have always believed that there is a way to survive. It depends on whether we can find this way.”
Wang Xuan’s eyes glowed, staring at the depths of the crack, and said slowly, “I hope this staircase… is a way to survive.”
After he finished speaking, he walked forward first, and Zhao Lei, Gu Manyao, and Zhang Haofei followed.
Although he expressed optimism when he just spoke, in fact Wang Xuan is more alert than ever, and even metal tentacles are faintly emerging on the back of his hands, ready to deal with sudden changes at any time.
Gu Manyao directly showed that the Yaochi knife was in his hand.
Everyone did not walk fast, and they carefully observed the surrounding situation at every step.
As he went deeper, Wang Xuan quickly saw clearly that the end of the crack in the wall was indeed a staircase.
Gu Manyao, Zhang Haofei, and Zhao Lei also saw the stairs, and everyone couldn’t hide their excitement.
Regardless of whether this staircase leads to the first floor, or whether it is a way out, at least there is hope.
Finally, everyone came to the end of the crack in the wall and looked at the stairs that appeared in front of them.
This stair goes up, it looks no different from the ordinary shopping mall stair, it looks wide and clean.
Everyone was silently looking at the stairs in front of them, but they didn’t go up rashly.
If you go up one level and fail to get out, it is not a simple disappointment, but a real despair.
When I was in the underground parking lot before, there was still hope, that is, if I went up from the parking lot to the ground floor, I would definitely be able to get out.
It is with this belief and hope that everyone can support the present, and now, the stairs leading to the ground floor are in sight.
It was finally time to reveal the results, but everyone hesitated.
Zhang Haofei looked at the crowd and said, “Why are you hesitating, come on?”
Gu Manyao sighed suddenly and said, “I’m afraid that after going up…you will encounter more terrifying monsters. If that’s the case, it’s better to stay in this negative layer.”
In fact, most of the people thought the same as her. They had experienced a series of previous encounters. Although they were excited when they saw the stairs going up, there was a hunch in their hearts, I was afraid that it would be difficult for them to leave this terrifying place so easily.
If the upper floor is really a monster, and there is no exit in sight, I can’t imagine how desperate it would be.
Hearing Gu Manyao say this, Zhao Lei sighed and said, “If there are monsters on the upper floor, based on previous experiences, these monsters must be more terrifying than those on the negative floor.”
He said this with a wry smile: “Is our current state of mind a bit like being close to the nostalgia, we have been thinking about finding the stairs to go out, but when we saw the stairs, we were a little afraid to go up. Have you ever thought about it? There is no exit above, we will never be able to get out, what should we do?”
Zhao Lei’s words made everyone silent, fear rose in his heart, Zhang Haofei became restless, and said loudly: “Then are we going to go up or not? Wang Xuan, what do you think.”
He knew that the real master of the crowd was Wang Xuan, and Zhao Lei’s words were no different from farting.
Zhao Lei interfaced: “Of course I have to go up. I’m not reconciled if I don’t go up. I can’t go up even after seeing the stairs? What if it’s really an exit? I just sighed.”
Zhang Haofei’s face was full of anger, and an impulse was born in his heart. He really wanted to punch him in the face. He thought that since he was going to fight, he was still talking nonsense to affect his mood. If it wasn’t for Wang Xuan’s presence, he would have done it earlier. I beat Zhao Lei.
Wang Xuan groaned and said, “Zhao Lei, your first saint has special abilities, can he sense what’s on the stairs?”
Zhao Lei shook his head and said, “How can the first sage have such an ability, and this thing seems to be ineffective from time to time, like the sixth sense, which is rather mysterious. I just sensed it quietly, and there was no response.”
Hearing Zhao Lei say this, Wang Xuan snorted and said, “Then let’s go up and take a look. Whether it’s an exit or there is a greater danger, we must take a look before we can be reconciled. Besides, what if it’s really an exit?”
After speaking, he did not hesitate, climbed the stairs in front of him, and walked up.
With Wang Xuan taking the lead, the other five immediately followed, and they quickly finished the section of stairs in front of them, then turned around and saw the second section of stairs.
Wang Xuan looked up and saw that the second stairway led to a door.
If everything is normal here, this second section of stairs leads to the first-floor shopping mall entering Longmao Plaza.
The metal tentacle on Wang Xuan’s right hand circled slightly around his right hand. He stepped forward and walked to the door at the end of the stairs.
The two doors were tightly closed, and the surroundings looked very dark. He stopped, and instead of approaching the door immediately, he took a deep breath. There were countless possibilities and conjectures in his heart. The terrifying monster’s plan to attack, the metal tentacle on his right hand stretched out and hit the door, ready to push it open.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the two doors quietly retracted to the walls on both sides and opened automatically.
A white light lit up.
Wang Xuan was stunned.
Gu Manyao, Zhao Lei, Zhang Haofei, Tie Jun, and Li Haotian stood tightly beside and behind him, bathed in the soft light shining from the door, watching everything in the door.
There were no monsters attacking them in the door, nor was it the shopping mall on the first floor of Longmao Plaza they imagined, and of course, it was not some endless parking lot and rows of parked vehicles.
Inside the door is an empty hall, with a large number of lamps above the hall, emitting white light, illuminating the hall as bright as day.
This hall is astonishingly large. As far as the eye can see, the length and width are more than 100 meters, which is much larger than a standard football field.
One of the most striking is that there is a transparent glass column standing in the center of the hall, and a sightseeing elevator is parked in it. You can see the surrounding scene from this elevator.
Standing outside the door, they could also see that there was a door on the other three snow-white walls. Together with the door in front of them, it meant that there were doors on each of the four walls of the hall.
In addition, the hall was silent and empty, and no one could be seen, making it extraordinarily quiet.
Instead of rushing in, everyone stood there for a full minute, looking at each other. Finally, Wang Xuan was the first to step through the door and walk in.
As he walked in, Zhao Lei, Gu Manyao, and Zhang Haofei walked in one after another.
The six people walked into the hall, and the door at the back closed silently again.
Everyone was attracted by the hall in front of them.
“Who can tell me, where exactly is this place?” Zhang Haofei murmured as he looked at the huge and empty hall in front of him.
Wang Xuan was looking around, and when he turned around, he noticed that the two doors behind them were closed. Only then did he see the words written on the two doors, “underground” on the left door, and “underground” on the right door. The world”, together, is the word “underworld”.
Seeing Wang Xuan looking at the door behind, the others turned their heads to look.
“Underworld? What the **** is this?” Zhang Haofei called out.
Zhao Lei said: “Probably refers to the underground three-story parking lot, but it’s a bit exaggerated to call the underground world~www.readwn.com~ Wang Xuan said solemnly: “It’s not necessarily an exaggeration, maybe this is not just the three we imagined. Floor parking is as simple as that. ”
Hearing Wang Xuan say this, Zhao Lei nodded and said, “It seems to make sense. We have encountered so many strange things and monsters along the way. It is indeed not a simple three-story underground parking lot.”
Gu Manyao said, “Look, the other doors also seem to have writing on them.”
“No, there are lights here, which means there is electricity. Do you think the elevator in the middle can be used?” Li Haotian suddenly spoke.
Wang Xuan snorted and said, “I’ll see if I go over there.”
As he spoke, he walked towards the observation elevator in the middle.
The others followed closely behind, and their hearts were a little excited.
Although this place is ridiculously large, it looks much better than the eerie underground blackout field before. There are lights here, the ground is clean, and there is no trace of blood to be seen. It doesn’t look like there are monsters infested.
