Noticing the other person's gaze and seeing that the other person was silent, Smith didn't care about it at all. Instead, he continued with a puzzled face: "Well, in your eyes, I am a foreigner. In fact, some problems are really difficult for me.
To clarify, there is one detail that I still can’t figure out, and that is... I noticed that you always look nervous when you mention the locust, so I would like to ask, what exactly is the locust? Is it related to us?
Do the ghost moths used by Americans mean the same thing?"
Um?
Since she really didn't expect a black man to ask such a question out of the blue, Cheng Ying paused slightly after hearing this.
Faced with the above questions, for some reason, Cheng Ying, who has always ignored black people, responded this time, and then gave Smith a rare answer. At the same time, Smith, who had not had high hopes, was immediately overjoyed. The only surprise was that Cheng Ying
Sakura's subsequent answer surprised him.
That's because Cheng Ying only said one sentence and finished the sentence in a brief tone:
"The locusts exist specifically for killing. They have different abilities. They are cruel and bloodthirsty. Once you are targeted by them, you and the locusts will have no choice but to fight to the death!".
After saying that, Cheng Ying turned her head and stopped looking at him. Smith also instinctively lowered his head and remained silent, seeming to be carefully savoring the meaning of his words. After a long time, when Smith had a thought in his mind, he raised his head again and continued to ask questions...
bite!
Suddenly, there was a noise, and the originally silent corridor was instantly broken by a voice!
………
At the same time, on the 7th floor.
The time has entered early morning and late at night. Usually, most people have fallen asleep at this time, but for Zhao Ping and Qian Xueling, sleeping is an impossible task.
As senior people, the two of them knew a lot, knew a lot about their own situation, and understood the dangers. At the same time, they also understood more clearly that sleeping under such circumstances was tantamount to suicide, so even though it was already early morning, the two of them still maintained a high degree of vigilance.
Of course, not sleeping does not mean that you cannot rest. After exploring the corridor environment again, just when the two of them were about to sit down and rest to regain their strength...
bite!
Suddenly, a crisp sound from the elevator spread throughout the surroundings and directly reached his ears.
His heart skipped a beat and his brows furrowed. Zhao Ping stood up first. At the same time, Qian Xueling turned his eyes and both looked in the direction of the sound more than ten meters away. Not only that, if you look carefully, you can also find out that the two of them except
Looking outside, everyone's right hands were stretched out tightly in their pockets, as if they were on guard.
Why be alert? In addition to the instinct of being in danger, the real reason comes from the corridor itself, which comes from the fact that there is no elevator in the corridor!
Yes, ever since the two of them were trapped in the corridor, they had been searching and observing in detail. They also tried to find an elevator in the early days of being trapped. However, no matter where they went, just like the stairs, the two of them never found an elevator in the corridor.
It is conceivable that when you hear the noise of an elevator in a corridor where there are no elevators due to supernatural restrictions, it is obvious that how can such a sudden noise be normal? How can you not make the two of them look nervous and on guard?
Sure enough, as soon as Xun Xunsheng turned his eyes forward, a shocking scene unfolded directly in front of him:
Ten meters ahead, on the left, a door appeared out of thin air in the wall of the originally empty corridor after a noise, an elevator door exuding metallic luster!
"This, electric...elevator?"
Seeing the strange scene, Qian Xueling was dumbfounded and confused for a moment. The reason is not difficult to understand. Although it is logical that it is normal for the floor to have an elevator, in fact, she and Zhao Ping were both trapped.
Being blocked, you are trapped in the corridor and cannot escape, and the corridor is self-sealing.
All the roads that can be left have also disappeared collectively, including the elevator. Since the elevator has long disappeared, how can this long-lost elevator reappear at this moment? Especially when you see the elevator door appearing out of thin air, then
This kind of confusion and strange feeling are not to mention uncomfortable.
The above are the truest thoughts in Qian Xueling's mind after seeing the elevator...
Thoughts are just thoughts after all. In fact, as the elevator appeared out of thin air, after the fleeting doubts passed, what the beautiful woman really cared about now was the result.
That is, what to do next?
"Shall we go over and take a look?"
Because she could never make up her mind, Qian Xueling finally left the decision to the man with glasses beside her.
Listening to the woman's slightly panicked inquiry, Zhao Ping's already solemn face moved closer to Shen Sheng, and he immediately answered the other party. Not only did he answer quickly, but his tone was straightforward:
"Stay where you are!"
Yes, Zhao Ping is not the kind of reckless person. Faced with unknown things, the man with glasses has always adhered to his consistent principle of vigilance and caution. His style of acting often takes safety as a prerequisite, or in other words, he must ensure his own safety before doing anything.
will only be carried out under the premise of
In fact, when he first discovered the elevator, Zhao Ping quickly shifted his gaze and looked elsewhere, hoping that the corridor would also appear. However, to his disappointment, through observation, except for the elevator that appeared out of thin air in front of him, there were still stairs nearby, no corners, and the corridor remained intact.
There's no end to it...
Strictly speaking, it can be understood that the supernatural ban is still maintained and did not disappear on its own as expected. Only an elevator appeared inexplicably.
So, under Zhao Ping's stern orders, the two of them put their hands in their pockets on guard and stared at the elevator door.
As for the elevator.
Since the sound ended, the elevator door has remained quiet and silent, observing for a long time without any movement, until half a minute later...
Hula.
With a soft door opening, the elevator door suddenly opened.
Seeing this, Zhao Ping and Qian Xueling's hearts tightened, and sweat broke out from their already clenched hands in their pockets.
In the dead silence, staring at each other, the two people began to retreat ten meters away, subconsciously retreating slowly.
Then, the two of them were stunned.
The source still came from the elevator opposite, because when the elevator door opened, a man walked out of it.
Um?
After confirming that the person coming out of the elevator was actually a human being, Qian Xueling was stunned, and Zhao Ping followed closely behind with a look of surprise.
As the saying goes, a Taoist is a highly adaptable creature. Because he is well aware of the strength of worms and has been in danger many times during the period, for now, whether it is Zhao or Qian Xueling, they have long been used to it, used to being vigilant, and used to being weird.
Even if you see a wolf in this closed corridor, you won't be surprised at all. It is said to be true, and it is also true. As the elevator door slowly opens, the two of them are indeed prepared for scary things to come out of the elevator, but unexpectedly...
Well, I didn’t expect that the person coming out of it would be a human being!?
Yes, it is indeed a person, a Caucasian man, about 50 years old, wearing a neat suit. Although his appearance is ordinary, his beard at the corners of his mouth is meticulously trimmed. Looking closely, he gives people the feeling of a successful person, but it is a pity that the impression is
After all, it is an impression. For now, the man's demeanor and reaction have broken his original temperament.
In the field of vision, the man has been frightened and flustered since he got out of the elevator. With an anxious and worried face, he walked anxiously and repeatedly at the elevator entrance like a bewildered mouse, until he suddenly stopped after a few steps.
I noticed something out of the corner of my eye, and turned back out of curiosity, only to find two people standing not far away!
"ah……"
The man was startled, and in a hurry, his body trembled, and he immediately looked at the opposite side with eyes as sharp as a hawk, staring at the two people opposite him intently.
The corridor was silent and the atmosphere was strange. For a moment, the two parties who were ten meters apart looked at each other without saying a word.
Time passes by second by second...
After a moment of silence, perhaps curiosity outweighed fear or he discovered that the other person was as human as himself. In the end, the middle-aged man spoke first and asked in a tentative tone: "Are you two alive?"
After hearing the question, Zhao Ping couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and then opened his mouth and asked: "What? Do you think we are dead people?"
After receiving Zhao Ping's answer, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then he took a long breath as if he was completely sure of something. Then he strode forward with an embarrassed look on his face, walked up to Zhao Ping and explained with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, along the way.
I saw too many dead people, so, I, I am very scared now..."
While the man was talking, Zhao Ping did notice that there were large beads of sweat on the man's forehead. It was obvious that judging from the man's reaction and expression, this man was not lying.
not to mention……
Under the light, the other party has a shadow.
Once you have a plan in mind, the next step will be easier.
Sure enough, as soon as the man finished speaking, Zhao Ping put on a curious expression and continued: "Well, you do look like you are scared, but I don't know what happened to you or what scared you.
Is it like this? And you just said there were dead people along the way... If you don’t mind, sir, can you tell me what happened?”
Can……
For some reason, as soon as Zhao Ping asked the question, the next moment, the middle-aged man showed vigilance as if he suddenly remembered something. Instead of answering, he asked with confusion on his face: "No! At present, except for the first three floors, they are all dead bodies. The floors above are full of dead bodies."
Everything is empty, you, why are you two here?"
Listening to what the other party said and watching the man's reaction, Zhao Ping was basically sure that the other party knew a lot or even understood a lot. He could clearly detect a lot of suspicious information just from the middle-aged man's words!
It is true that the best way to obtain information is to ask, to ask the characters in the plot, and I am indeed asking the other party. The only regret is that the other party is unwilling to answer, and a certain misunderstanding that is difficult to explain makes the other party doubt me and be wary of me.
, so it is very possible that he and Qian Xueling were not regarded as human beings.
The Oriental man and woman didn't answer before they met. As expected, the middle-aged man's vigilance became more intense. A second later, Xu spotted the gap and while the two people in front of him were looking at each other, the middle-aged man moved.
, suddenly turned around without warning and ran straight towards the elevator!
Da da da da da!
As mentioned above, because the other party could not answer the question or explain the reason, and he was already in a panic, the man had completely regarded Zhao Qian and Zhao Qian as aliens, as scary existences similar to mantis, at least in his subjective consciousness, the man and woman in front of him
Very suspicious, not even human!
How can middle-aged people not be afraid of unknown entities that look like humans but not humans? How can they not run away?
However, it is a pity that even if he saw the opportunity and ran away, even if he reacted quickly and ran away in panic, in fact there was still an unavoidable cruel reality before his eyes.
It was too late, but it was too soon. Just when the middle-aged man turned around and tried to run away, he felt something.
Suddenly, he felt a cold object pressing against the back of his head. At the same time, a plain words came directly into his ears from behind:
"If you think your legs can outrun a bullet, you can keep running."
Yes, at the moment when the middle-aged man panicked and tried to escape, Zhao Ping moved at the same time, making some moves at the same time. Lightning stretched out his hand, Lightning took it into his arms, and immediately took out a pistol!
Put a black Type 56 pistol to the back of the man's head..
There is no doubt about the origin of the pistol. It was the man with glasses who specially obtained it from Ye Wei during the Midnight Bell mission, and he has kept it to this day. Unexpectedly, it will be used again today.
Let’s not talk about the source of the guns for the moment, let’s not talk about Zhao Ping for the moment, what lies ahead...
"No, no, please don't shoot! Don't shoot! I believe, I believe what you say!"
The pleading voice came directly, and the trembling body came into view. The middle-aged man believed it, completely believed it, or in other words, after confirming that there was indeed a gun behind his head, he completely believed that the other person was as human as himself.
The reason is very simple. Will a wolf threaten humans with a gun?
The answer is obviously impossible!
In addition, the United States is a country awash with guns, and the man also had no doubts about the gun in Zhao Ping's hand. So, the result came out. In order to save his life, in addition to pleading repeatedly, he even raised his hands to show surrender, fearing that the other party would shoot him.
Behind him, seeing that the pistol threat was really effective, he ignored the surprised expression on Qian Xueling's side. The man with glasses remained expressionless and calm. After a moment of reflection, he finally ordered to the middle-aged man: "Turn around and answer
All the questions I ask next.”
Sure enough, with the threat of firearms, the middle-aged man immediately became honest. As soon as Zhao Ping finished speaking, the man turned around slowly with great interest. After seeing the black pistol with his own eyes, he confirmed that the threat was true. After turning around, the middle-aged man hurriedly obeyed his plea.
The attitude was very respectful: "I'm sorry, I thought you two were disguised at first, so that's why I... Sir, please don't kill me, I'll give you everything you want, I'll answer whatever you ask, please...
…”
"Shut up!".
A cold shout interrupted the man's nonsense, and he raised his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Next, Zhao Ping went straight to the topic, opened his mouth to ask, and asked the key question he wanted to know most at the moment:
"First explain to me what you mean by what you said above, and then give a complete account of all your personal experiences during this period. However, I still have to warn you that if you deliberately lie or what you say is inconsistent with the information I have, then I will
Shoot immediately and send you to your God immediately!"
