Behind the opened elevator door, a dark hole was revealed.
Taking a step forward, the newcomer who stepped on the empty space let out a shrill scream and fell rapidly towards the bottom of the elevator passage.
"Ahhh... bang!"
The human body falls downward at a speed of about 9.8 meters per second. At a height of eleven floors, it bottoms out in less than four seconds.
Between several collisions, there was only a "bang" sound, and the falling couple hit the bottom of the elevator. Everything had settled.
"What's going on?" Wu Ming and others who caught up behind asked the crowd.
The newlyweds backed away one after another, with panic on their faces, and replied: "He wanted to enter the elevator, but the elevator door opened and the elevator did not come down, so he fell down."
Falling deaths caused by elevator doors opening but not coming down are common around the world.
Wu Ming stood at the elevator entrance, poked his head in, and looked at the elevator parked above.
I found that the elevator stopped at the 12th floor. I don’t know why the elevator didn’t come down, but the door on the 11th floor opened.
Is it an accident? It doesn't look like it. Death has come to the world here, and no death is accidental.
Compared to an accident, it is more like the God of Death taking action, taking the lives of people who should have died through seemingly accidental ordinary accidents.
"How is your companion?" Seeing the accident here, Claire and Alex, the protagonists of the original plot, also gathered outside the elevator door.
Wu Ming withdrew his body from the elevator shaft, glanced at the crowd who were waiting for answers, shook his head and said, "He's dead. His head was smashed like a watermelon. It's terrible."
Hearing this, the protagonists of the plot stopped moving forward, and the newcomers also swallowed their saliva.
Claire held her small breasts with both hands, and when no one was paying attention, she leaned forward and whispered, "Is it an accident?"
"What do you think?" Wu Ming did not answer, but took a deep look at Claire.
Here, airport security and FBI agents have already heard the news and rushed over.
After retrieving the surveillance records from the scene, I only scanned them briefly and found out that the fall was an elevator accident.
Obviously, tomorrow morning's news will definitely report that an unlucky guy fell down the elevator shaft. As for the truth, except for a few people involved, who would believe that all this was caused by Death.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see."
After the short interlude, Wu Ming and his party left the airport and looked for a nearby express hotel to check into.
From the very first day, the God of Death struck, which made the newcomers panic and make every move cautious.
When crossing the street, this kind of caution is vividly reflected. When you see a car speeding past on the street, no one dares to leave even though it is hundreds of meters away. It gives you a sense of déjà vu.
"Relax, death is not that scary. Don't scare yourself." Seeing that the newcomers were as scared as quails, old man Jiang had a look of helplessness on his face.
This is only the first day. If everyone is frightened by death, there is no need to play for the rest of the day. It doesn’t matter if you tense up all day long. It doesn’t matter if it’s a day or two. Over time, you will inevitably become trance-like. In serious cases, you may be driven to death.
Crazy.
Just look at the reactions of the newcomers and you will know what it is like to be frightened, and what these newcomers are like.
There is no need for the God of Death to design, everyone will have their own mental breakdown while playing, and how can they still have the energy to deal with emergencies?
"Old man, of course you won't be afraid if you are veterans, but we are still newcomers!"
"Brothers, do you have any unnecessary equipment for us to use for self-defense? I'm really scared!"
With Old Man Jiang's consolation, not only did the newcomers not get better, but they became even more worried.
It can be seen from this that the quality of the newcomers this time is not high. Not to mention the special forces king and killer, there is not even a bold one among such special professions.
That's not right. There is a bold one, the middle school boy named Liu Ning who threatens to be the captain.
It's a pity that Liu Ning ran away to nowhere because he was taught a lesson on the plane and did not mix with the crowd.
Among the crowd, there were ten newcomers, some male and female, some old and some weak. Together they looked more like a traveling group.
Looking up at the panicked faces of the newcomers, Wu Ming frowned and whispered to Old Man Jiang: "Old man, a Chinese is a dragon, a group of Chinese are worms, fear is contagious. Let me tell you, give up.
Those who are frightened to death should choose a few in better condition for protection."
There are rewards for protecting newcomers, but this kind of protection cannot be blind.
Among the newcomers, two middle-aged aunts in their forties were obviously so scared that they wet their pants. Even if such newcomers survived, they would only become a burden.
Moreover, our group of pseudo-seniors is less than half the number of newcomers.
In the world where Death Comes, except for Wu Ming, the hidden boss, everyone is not very strong. In this case, the senior people may die, and trying to protect all the newcomers can only be a fool's errand.
"Well, that's the only way." Old Jiang also understood Wu Ming's words deeply and knew that this was the best way.
Wu Ming, Old Man Jiang, Niu Dashun, and Wang Yunxi exchanged opinions with each other and each chose their own protector.
"Come here, I want to protect you one on one." Niu Dashun was the first to speak, pointing to a pretty young woman in the crowd.
The young woman is about 26 or 27 years old, and she bears a 60-70% resemblance to the R-rated superstar Kaede Matsushima.
After hearing Niu Dashun's words, the young woman dressed in home attire had some hesitation in her eyes, and she didn't look very happy.
"This is the world where the God of Death has come. If you stay with me, you may live a few more days. It's up to you to decide what to do." Niu Dashun was not in a hurry and let the young woman make her own choice.
The young woman looked at the other newcomers nervously, then slowly walked to Niu Dashun's side, her face already flushed with embarrassment.
At her age, she is no longer a ignorant little girl, she has already seen through the nature of men.
Niu Dashun said nicely that he wanted to protect her one on one, but the young woman couldn't believe that he was really so noble.
"Girl, come to me." Unlike Niu Dashun, the protector chosen by Old Man Jiang was a little girl with freckles.
The little girl is short, wears braces, and has freckles on her face, which makes her look off-putting.
If I have to compare, this little girl is the youngest one among the newcomers.
However, unlike many panicked adults, although the little girl was also scared, she always observed the front, back, left and right, with a little calmness in her panic.
"Grandpa, my name is Zhang Lanlan." The little girl walked up to Old Jiang and said her name abruptly.
Wu Ming looked at the little girl and was a little surprised by her calmness. He couldn't help but said: "Old man, this little girl is pretty good. Her mentality is relatively good among this group of newcomers."
"hehe..."
Old Jiang nodded with a smile, touched Zhang Lanlan's head, and whispered: "Follow grandpa, remember not to run around, got it?"
"I know." Zhang Lanlan nodded slightly and stood behind Old Jiang.
Seeing that the two people had selected priority targets for protection, Wang Yunxi also stepped forward and swept his eyes over the remaining eight newcomers.
The remaining eight newcomers are all adults, a total of five boys and three girls.
After a brief glance, Wang Yunxi didn't see anyone who stood out, but casually pointed at a female white-collar worker.
"Come here and stay with me." The female white-collar worker Wang Yunxi chose looked to be in her mid-twenties, and should be a college student who had just graduated from school.
When she heard that she had been selected, the female white-collar worker in a short skirt stood beside Wang Yunxi with a look of joy on her face, and the sadness on her face faded a lot.
After all, there were so many newcomers present, but only four seniors.
One-on-one protection is definitely easier for newcomers to survive than free-range protection. It is likely that whether they are selected by senior people is the basis for their survival.
Among the four senior people, three of them, Mr. Jiang, had chosen their protection targets, while only Wu Ming was left without action.
The seven newcomers who were not selected looked at Wu Ming with fiery eyes, like puppies waiting to be adopted in a pet center.
"Brother, please choose me. I am familiar with Infinite Horror and have watched the movie Death Comes. I will definitely not cause any trouble for you." A young man spoke enthusiastically, trying to show his advantages.
Upon hearing this, a middle-aged man with a big belly quickly said: "Little brother, what do you think of me? I am engaged in real estate development. As long as you protect me, I will give you a duplex villa.
If I hire you as a company consultant, it won’t be a problem for you to earn millions a year.”
"Brother, I also have advantages. My skills are very good. I guarantee that you will be satisfied." A girl also said shyly. As for what good skills are, I can only understand this.
The Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing his magical powers.
Among the seven newcomers, those who are rich talk about money, those who have advantages talk about advantages, and those who have capital talk about capital. No one wants to fall behind others.
Just by listening briefly, Wu Ming had an inseparable grasp of the situation of these people.
Among them, the middle-aged man with a big belly is the CEO of a real estate company. With assets of over 100 million, he can be considered a winner in life.
The guy who is familiar with the plot is a complete otaku and likes to read all kinds of movies and novels, which is somewhat useful.
The girl with light makeup is a dancer in a nightclub. Her body is the capital of revolution. She dares to take off her clothes, dance, and go to bed. She has a thick skin and few bottom lines, which can be regarded as some advantages.
As for the remaining people, they are obviously just pretending to be fake, and most of them are ordinary people without any skills.
In real society, these ordinary people are the cornerstone of society.
On the other hand, ordinary people without any skills who are placed in the main god's space are often representatives of cannon fodder, because these people cannot reflect their own value.
"If it were a pure novice world, these people would still be able to grow up. For example, Niu Dashun and Wang Yunxi were not much better than these people at the beginning. Unfortunately, this is a world where the God of Death has come, and it is not possible for newcomers to run wild.
In such a place, the fate of these people will be worrying." Glancing at the crowd, Wu Ming made a definition in his mind, his eyes as if looking at a dead person.
Little did the seven newcomers know that Wu Ming regarded them as passers-by.
Everyone is waiting happily, hoping that they will be selected by the senior people and have a better chance of surviving than others.
"Let's go. I don't like these people. If you die, just die." Wu Ming turned around and left, not caring about the 500 points for saving people.
Now, seeing that no one was selected, the newcomers at the scene were stunned for a moment and quit. (To be continued.)
