Chapter 86: The Old Man and the Newcomer (Today’s guaranteed 6,000-word update)
Wang Xuan's monster has now grown to the third form of the sub-body state. He tried to walk into the elevator, but there was still a faint energy sweeping through his body, and then disappeared, without any invisible force to stop it.
He, let him walk in successfully.
"It seems that when you grow into a sub-body, you can enter the elevator." Wang Xuan walked into the elevator out of curiosity, and then looked around the elevator from inside.
Everyone else was watching outside. When they saw Wang Xuan suddenly walking in, they immediately gathered around and stood at the elevator door. No one could actually enter the elevator except him.
Zhang Haofei was the first to shout: "Wang Xuan, is the inside of this elevator the same as an ordinary elevator?"
Wang Xuan hummed and said, "It's almost the same, just a little bigger."
Then Li Tao asked strangely: "Why don't you go in and see for yourself?"
Zhang Haofei turned to look at him and said: "Nonsense, this elevator can't even enter Chuqi. Only the hatched beast can grow into a sub-body."
Li Tao just came here and didn't understand anything. He was stunned when he heard these words. He couldn't help but want to try to walk in. He was pushed out by an invisible force. Feeling the information in his mind, he
Only then did I understand what was going on.
Wang Xuan stood in the elevator and saw that the inside was similar to an ordinary elevator. The only difference was that the elevator was larger, two or three times larger than ordinary elevators. It could accommodate twenty or thirty people without any problem.
Look at the floor buttons in the elevator. The highest floor shown above is the ninth floor, and there are buttons for minus one, minus two, and minus three floors below.
Wang Xuan didn't know which floor the woman had just reached, but according to the rules, she would most likely go to the second floor first. He was also full of curiosity about what was on the second, third, and the highest ninth floor.
?
He wanted to take the elevator to a higher floor to see what was going on, but he just thought about it and did not actually go up. Instead, he walked out of the elevator again.
Seeing Wang Xuan come out, Zhao Lei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I was really afraid that you suddenly went up. I was about to remind you. Fortunately, you just walked out."
Wang Xuan smiled and said: "I really wanted to go up and see what other floors are like, but I was afraid that if I went up, I wouldn't be able to get back down, which would be troublesome, so I'd better wait until you all arrive at Ya Ti. It would be safer for us to go up together.
.”
Zhao Lei said: "It's not just that I can't come down after going up, I'm afraid that if I can come down, the place I come down will be different, which will be more troublesome. Don't you remember that the underground parking lot is like time and space?"
Gu Manyao said: "It shouldn't happen here. At least now that we are on the first floor, there is no situation like the underground parking lot."
Wang Xuandao: "The possibility that Zhao Lei mentioned also exists. After all, I have never tried it. Everything is unknown. It is always better to be cautious. In short, everyone should work hard to grow into the sub-body form, so that we can go up together.
"
Gu Manyao said: "Now that we know that we can go up to the sub-body, as long as we find the right monster, it shouldn't take long for all five of us to reach the sub-body."
Zhao Lei said: "Wang Xuan, how many levels of buttons are there in the elevator?"
"The highest level is the ninth floor, and there are buttons to the third underground floor."
Hearing what Wang Xuan said, Zhao Lei was startled, shook his head and said: "I remember that Longmao Plaza only has five floors, but I didn't expect that the elevator showed nine floors."
Gu Manyao rolled her eyes at him and said: "Do you think we are still in Longmao Plaza? Let alone the ninth floor, I don't think it would be strange even if it becomes the 100th floor."
Zhao Lei touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "This is probably called a mindset. I habitually regard this place as Longmao Plaza. Once I encounter a place that is different from Longmao Plaza, I will habitually question it."
The six of them were chatting as if there was no one around, while Li Tao, Xu Haimeng and Wen Wei were listening quietly.
Wang Xuan glanced at Wang Hai's corpse on the ground, and accidentally discovered that the blood stains flowing around the corpse had disappeared, as if it had been absorbed by the ground in the hall. Not only that, the part of the corpse that touched the ground had a faint layer of blood.
Light, this light is slowly devouring and dissolving the corpse.
Seeing Wang Xuan looking at Wang Hai's body on the ground, everyone else also looked over and noticed this detail.
"It seems that this hall has a self-cleaning function. If you die here, even if you don't dispose of the body, it will be slowly cleaned up by this hall." Wang Xuan now understood that there was no one responsible for cleaning in this hall, but it seemed
Spotless.
Li Tao and Xu Haimeng also saw Wang Hai's body being slowly melted and swallowed by the hall. They just watched silently. Originally they were struggling with what to do with the corpse, but now it was slowly being swallowed and melted by the hall.
It's a good idea.
At this moment, the far door to the three-story underground parking lot opened automatically, and someone walked out.
Everyone noticed and looked over. Li Tao, Wen Wei and Xu Haimeng also turned around and looked over.
But he saw seven people filing out of that door.
These people looked around with surprise and curiosity on their faces, obviously it was their first time entering here.
Wang Xuan immediately understood that there were seven new people coming up from the basement level.
"More and more people are coming here." Zhao Lei murmured to himself.
Tie Jun said: "This is a good phenomenon. With more people, we are more powerful. If we can join forces to find the evidence of the king, the hope of going out will be great."
Zhang Haofei sneered and said, "That's not necessarily true. Didn't you see a corpse lying on the ground? The more people there means the greater the possibility of conflict."
The seven newcomers who had just entered also noticed Wang Xuan and a group of others standing in front of the giant glass pillar in the center. After a slight hesitation, the seven people began to walk towards them.
"Let's go." Wang Xuan understood that when these seven people came, they would definitely ask about this hall again. In fact, they knew that the information was also limited. These people only need to look around the various areas around the hall to understand.
Li Tao saw Wang Xuan and the others about to leave and couldn't help but said, "Can you guys tell us what exactly this place is?"
Wang Xuan stopped, looked back at him, and said: "Like you, we have just entered here not long ago. As for this hall, it is considered a semi-safe area. You don't have to worry about monsters appearing here. The only thing you need to worry about is other people.
There are several doors around here, all with different functions. Go and take a look first, and you will understand. If there is anything you still don’t understand, ask us later."
After saying that, he stopped staying and walked towards the rest area.
Li Tao originally wanted to follow him, but when he heard Wang Xuan say this, he groaned and did not move. Looking at the other side, the seven people who had just entered were already walking towards them.
Wang Xuan and the other six entered the rest area, and first went to the place where armor was sold to make up for the inferior equipment that everyone lacked.
Except for Wang Xuan, the other five people only have three pieces of equipment. Gu Manyao and Zhang Haofei are missing helmets and gauntlets, Zhao Lei is missing gauntlets and leather boots, and Tie Jun and Li Haotian are missing helmets and leather boots.
Wang Xuan took out ten crystal scales and bought all the inferior armor that everyone lacked.
After that, he spent six crystal scales to buy some daily necessities in the item-selling room, one for each person, and finally entered the rest area.
Sixteen crystal scales were spent at once, and Wang Xuan now had eighty-two crystal scales left on hand.
Although the remaining crystal scales can buy two pieces of second-level quality equipment, Wang Xuan gave up temporarily after thinking about it and planned to wait until he could save more crystal scales.
The rest area was still quiet, and not a single sound could be heard. The six of them walked in, and Zhang Haofei said: "Every two people have a room, so the six of us can get three rooms."
Gu Manyao immediately shook his head and said, "This won't work."
In the past, the situation was special, and it was okay for six people to share a room. Now that there are three rooms, no matter who she shares the room with, she will be a man and a woman alone. This is too dangerous, and she does not agree.
Wang Xuan thought of the scene where he slept on the same bed with her before, with a quilt in between, and felt a little weird in his heart. Although he wanted to sleep in the same room with Gu Manyao, he knew that in this case, she would definitely
The one who couldn't agree said: "Then let's open one more room."
As he spoke, he took out a crystal scale and put it into the slot of a room on the right. As the crystal scale was put in, there was a slight sound in the door, and the door's lock opened.
Gu Manyao immediately opened the door and walked in, saying, "This room belongs to me." She then closed the door, fearing that someone would follow her in.
"What about the five of us? Do we share a room with one person or two people?" Zhang Haofei looked at Wang Xuan.
Zhao Lei said: "One room per person is too luxurious. I think the bed is big enough to sleep two or three people. Let's open two rooms."
Wang Xuan nodded in agreement, and finally he and Zhao Lei shared a room, while Zhang Haofei, Tie Jun and Li Haotian shared a room.
"Wang Xuan, do you think we can still go out?"
Entering the room, looking at the room that looked like a hotel, Zhao Lei lay down on the bed, groaned in comfort, and suddenly asked.
Wang Xuan took off his clothes and armor and prepared to take a shower. Hearing his inquiry, he paused and said: "Since there is an entrance and exit, we should be able to go out. But even if we go out, Zhao Lei, you said the earth... we still know before That Earth?"
Zhao Lei sat up from the bed, his expression became gloomy, and said: "I don't know, I don't even dare to think about it. If there is something wrong with the earth, I don't dare to think about what will happen to my parents... …”
When he said this, there was a trace of pain on his face.
Wang Xuan reached out and grabbed his shoulders, lowered his voice, and said slowly: "Don't think like this. I believe that there must be a reason for such a world to exist in this building. And have you noticed that entering here?" There seem to be more and more people, and I’m afraid they are not all simply trapped in Longmao Plaza.”
Zhao Lei said: "Actually, I am very scared. You said...if our parents knew that we were missing here, would they come to Longmao Plaza to look for us? Would they also be trapped here?"
When he said this, he saw that Wang Xuan's face turned ugly.
"I don't know, probably not. Even if they know that we are missing here, the police are here to investigate and collect evidence. And with the terrible technology here, no one knows what the situation is. We are just subjective guesses that outsiders think we are Missing, I feel it is not that simple, because it means that in this short period of time, a large number of people have disappeared in Longmao Plaza, and the news has already caused a sensation across the country."
Wang Xuan continued: "For example, the hatching beast we just encountered was a woman with a snow-white sword. She had the hatching beast when we were trapped. She must have been trapped here earlier than us, but Before we entered Longmao Square, we had never heard any news about anyone missing here, so there must be some problem that we don't know about."
Zhao Lei felt a little relieved after hearing this and said: "Your analysis makes sense. I just hope that everything outside is safe and the earth is still the same as before. We can find the evidence of the king as soon as possible and leave here."
Wang Xuandao said: "If this king's certificate is really hidden somewhere among the four districts, it will not be difficult to find. Now the east district can be eliminated, and there are still three districts left. After we have rested, we will go to the south district to take a look. "
When Wang Xuan said this, he felt a little thirsty, so he took out a tube of primary nutrient solution and drank it.
Zhao Lei didn't feel hungry or thirsty, and said strangely: "Are you hungry again? Didn't you say that this tube of nutrient solution can last for a day? I don't feel hungry at all now. Could it be that after growing into a sub-body, the body's need for nutrients will increase?" Is the volume increasing?”
Wang Xuan felt much better after drinking it, and said: "This is the only explanation. I'm afraid if it continues to grow, this primary nutrient solution will no longer work, and the intermediate nutrient solution is not cheap."
He remembered that one tube of intermediate nutrient solution required one crystal scale.
Zhao Lei smiled and said: "But we will continue to get stronger, and it will become easier and easier to obtain crystal scales. Buying some intermediate nutrient solutions shouldn't be a problem."
After chatting for a while, the two felt sleepy and began to rest. After waking up, the six of them gathered in Wang Xuan and Zhao Lei's room, began to discuss the next action, and soon decided to enter the South District to find out.
After making the decision, he left the room, but saw the door of another room opened in the corridor outside, and five people walked out of it.
These five people didn't seem to expect to meet Wang Xuan and the others, and each other was slightly startled.
These five are all men, between the ages of 20 and 40. They are more or less wearing a few pieces of inferior leather armor. Only one person is wearing a full set of five pieces of inferior armor. He should be the leader of these five people.
.
They noticed the goblin scales on Wang Xuan's body at first sight, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes.
Wang Xuan saw that these five people were very strange and had never seen any of them. He guessed that they were newcomers who had just arrived and were resting here. They happened to meet them when they went out.
None of them spoke to each other. The five of them looked at Wang Xuan's green scale armor, and they didn't dare say hello casually.
Wang Xuan and others were still very interested when they saw the new people entering and wanted to communicate. But now they are too lazy to talk when they meet new people and walk straight out of the rest area.
The five people fell behind and slowly walked out.
Arriving at the hall, Wang Xuan was slightly surprised.
He didn't see Li Tao, Wen Wei and Xu Haimeng, nor the seven newcomers who came in at that time, but there were three more groups of completely unfamiliar faces in the hall.
These three groups of people, as few as four people, were gathering in front of the elevator with the glass cylinder in the center. They opened the elevator and wanted to go in. They were blocked by an invisible force. Their hatchlings failed to grow to sub-standard size.
Physical form, unable to enter.
The largest group, a total of nine people, gathered at the entrance and exit passage, chatting in low voices, and a group of six people were walking towards the corridor.
These people all have more or less inferior armors on their bodies, some only have one or two pieces, some have three or four pieces, but there are only a few people who can put together a five-piece set of inferior armors.
"There are so many people here all of a sudden?"
Not only Wang Xuan was surprised, Zhao Lei, Gu Manyao, Zhang Haofei and Tie Jun also opened their eyes wide and looked at each other. The three people in the hall in front of them totaled up to nineteen, and now they were slowly walking out behind them.
Five people, that's twenty-four people.
If we add Li Tao and Xu Haimeng, the seven newcomers who appeared at that time, and eight Cheng Aiguo, the total number will be close to fifty.
The appearance of Wang Xuan and the others also attracted the attention of these people, and they all looked over with surprised expressions in their eyes.
All six of Wang Xuan have five-piece suits, especially Wang Xuan, who wears a unique rhinoceros horn helmet on his head and goblin scale armor on his body. He stands out from the crowd. Everyone is attracted to him at first sight, and an idea arises in their hearts.
, this young man is afraid that he has a good background and cannot be provoked.
"We have only been here for a day or two, and the changes are really amazing." Zhang Haofei opened his mouth wide with an incredulous expression on his face.
Tie Jun was equally unbelievable: "An underground parking lot in Longmao Plaza actually trapped so many people in such a short period of time?"
Ordinary people were trapped in the three-story parking lot, and the casualty rate was extremely high. Only Tie Jun and his group of nine people were left alive and walked into the hall on this floor. Now forty or fifty people gathered here, including the casualties.
Given the rate, the number of people trapped would have to be at least several hundred.
Gu Manyao said: "Wang Xuan, you said before that the rest area was prepared for many people. Unexpectedly, you guessed it right. Now a lot of people have come."
Li Haotian said: "It's not a bad thing to have more people. At least it's more lively here, so we don't feel so panicked. Even if we can't get out, there are still so many people with us."
When Li Haotian said this, everyone looked at him speechlessly. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
Wang Xuandao: "Regardless of how many newcomers are coming, we all must hurry up and raise the hatching beast to the sub-body. Finding the proof of the king is the most important thing."
As he spoke, he walked towards the corridor first.
The newcomers in the hall only observed the six Wang Xuan and others from a distance. No one approached them casually. Soon they walked into the corridor leading to the four districts of southeast, northwest and northwest, and came to the curved corridor.
Not far ahead of the curved corridor, outside the entrance to the east district, they saw six people.
These six people, four men and two women, are all unfamiliar faces. They must be newcomers who have just entered. They gathered at the entrance of the East District and are debating whether to enter the East District to see what is going on, or to go along the curved corridor to the end first and see what is going on here.
Where does the corridor lead.
Wang Xuan and six other people came over. The six people stopped talking and all looked at them.
"Give way..." Zhang Haofei chuckled when he saw these six people. He could see that there was curiosity and fear in their eyes, and there was also a hint of fear. He enjoyed this look very much.
Compared with these six newcomers who have just entered here, they are already considered old people and seniors.
Looking at the shabby armors on these six newcomers, two of them only have one piece, and the most one only has three inferior pieces of armor. In comparison, the six of them have full sets of armor, and the leader Wang Xuan is wearing a second-level fine brother's armor.
Bryn Scale Armor, these newcomers couldn't help but feel in awe.
Hearing Zhang Haofei's sudden words, they immediately stood aside and made way for them. In fact, even if Zhang Haofei didn't speak, they would consciously make way for them, and no one would dare to stand in front of them.
Wang Xuan saw the reserved look on their faces as they stood aside, wanting to say hello to them but not daring to say hello. He thought that they had felt the same fear and uneasiness when they saw the woman with single eyelids. Now it was their turn.
Realizing that a few of them made the other newcomers feel uneasy, he couldn't help but smile and nod at them with his teeth bared.
Seeing Wang Xuan's gentle expression, which seemed to mean no harm, the six people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a strange feeling of flatterment arose in their hearts.
Wang Xuan led five people past them and headed towards the south area ahead. Zhang Haofei's eyes swept over the faces and bodies of two women among the six people, and he was disappointed. One of the two women had dark skin, and the other
I don’t care if I have freckles on my face and I don’t look good, but my figure ends up looking like a flat plate.
"It's so boring..." Zhang Haofei walked past them and muttered something. The two women heard it, but they didn't know what he meant by "it's boring."
Watching Wang Xuan and the other two walking towards the depths of the curved corridor, among the six newcomers, the freckle-faced woman said softly: "Bai Yan, do you think we should enter the East District and take a look, or should we follow them and take a look?"
The man she called Bai Yan was a man in his twenties, wearing inferior leather armor, inferior kneepads and inferior leather boots. He was the one with the most armor among the six people, and he was also the leader of the six.
Bai Yan hesitated for a moment and said: "These six people look very powerful. I don't know their origins. Let's follow them and have a look, but don't get too close."
They followed Wang Xuan and the others from a distance, watching as they opened the door with "Southern District" written on it and walked in.
"It turns out that there is also the South District here, Bai Yan. What should we do now? Should we go to the South District to have a look, or go back to the East District just now?" The woman with freckles liked Bai Yan a little bit, and kept following him closely, asking again.
The meaning of Baiyan.
Another woman with dark skin said: "Now that we've come here, let's go to the south area to have a look, and then we'll go to the east area to have a look later."
Bai Yan nodded and said: "I think so too. It seems that this curved corridor has not reached the end yet. There may be West District and North District. Let's take a look at each district to learn more about the situation here. It is not a bad thing."
As the six people spoke, they pushed open the door to the south area and walked in.
