"I hope so." “
Meng Chao held the Golden Scythe's mandibles upside down and moved through the smoke and poisonous fog with his back bent.
There were not many monsters left in this level. The few monsters that came out of the darkness were easily killed by the duo.
They soon reached the stairs leading to the upper level.
The stairs were not wide, but they were filled with the carcasses of humans and monsters.
A moment ago, a devastating battle had taken place there.
Most of the carcasses of humans and monsters were either riddled with holes or torn to shreds.
Some people hugged monsters tightly, and when the monsters' mouthparts stabbed their hearts, they also stabbed their weapons deep into the monsters' bodies. Just like that, they died quietly in the form of tragic statues.
The path of carcasses and blood continued to the upper level.
Even ruthless people who had been through hundreds of battles like Meng Chao and Lu Siya found it terrifying.
Burning emotions rose in their chests without them realizing it.
Meng Chao arrived in front of a victim who was dressed as a waiter.
With the dim light from the emergency lights, Meng Chao could see the victim's dazed eyes. It was clearly a person of the same age as him.
Even though there was a hole the size of a bowl in his chest and a lot of his organs were gone, his face was clean and filled with courage.
Meng Chao sighed softly and knelt down on one knee to help the person of the same age close his eyes.
Suddenly, a warning sign rose in his head. He felt that something was off with his hand, and he quickly pulled his hand back.
A few thin and long red threads that looked like parasites suddenly surged out of the person's eyes, nostrils, and mouth. They squirmed toward his palm.
"This is …"
Meng Chao's skin crawled. Then, he broke out in cold sweat. "Blood Flowers!"
Indeed, it was not just this person of the same age.
Most of the victims and the carcasses of the monsters they killed had a large number of thin and long red threads. They swayed, squirmed, and grew like red aquatic plants.
Slurp, slurp, slurp.
Bone-chilling sounds rose from all directions, and they gradually gathered together to form a terrifying river.
A lot of dismembered corpses were reassembled by the thin, long red threads, forming deformed and ugly zombies, as well as undead creatures that were even more hideous than zombies.
A large number of carcasses that originally belonged to different monsters were pulled, glued, and gathered together by the red threads. They turned into monsters with three to five heads, eight mandibles, and dozens of eyes.
For now, the zombies and undead creatures were still twitching.
It was as if their evil souls were still in the process of climbing out of the abyss of hell.
But it wouldn't be long before they woke up and turned the entire building into a nightmare, hell, and apocalypse.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya had already used up all their grenades, napalm bombs, and firearms.
The two of them looked at each other and rushed to the staircase at the same time.
Lu Siya knelt on one knee and pressed her palms against the stairs. She activated her spirit energy magnetic field and changed the molecular structure of the stairs.
Right when she made the reinforced concrete at the entrance of the stairs a little more brittle, Meng Chao growled and stomped down.
Boom!
The entire staircase, along with the zombies and undead creatures on it, fell down.
The height of Noble Descent Hotel was more than five meters.
Since the lower floor had an administrative lounge, it was even higher than a normal floor.
When the stairs collapsed, it created a drop of eight meters. It could stop the zombies and undead for a moment.
But the new zombies had terrifying mobility.
The insect-type undead were also born to be good climbers.
This "moment" might be even shorter than what the two of them hoped for.
'The abnormal beasts do indeed have top-notch biochemical technology. They fused the characteristics of the Blood Flowers with the zombie virus and created zombies and undead creatures that take a shorter time to activate and have stronger fighting strength!
'Before long, most of the monsters we killed just now, aside from the insects that were completely destroyed or burnt to a crisp, will be revived!
'We have to find the target before that happens!'
Since things had progressed to this state, Lu Siya managed to calm down.
She sucked in a deep breath, and the tips of her ears and nostrils twitched a little. Her eyes sparkled, and around her pupils were five rings of light that spun rapidly.
Clearly, she had activated her talent as a Spirit Sensor to its fullest.
"At the end of this corridor, turn right, go through the buffet, and then the corridor to the left. There are gunshots!" she said confidently.
The two of them used every second they had to run madly.
Along the way, they did not run into any living monsters, but they saw more corpses.
All of them had thin red threads growing out of them. Clearly, they had been infested by the Blood Flowers and were in the process of turning into undead creatures.
Their feet did not touch the ground. Before the countless thin red threads surged toward them, they moved as if they were flying.
Once they passed through the buffet, the gunshots ahead of them became clearer. They could also see dazzling sparks in the darkness.
But as far as Meng Chao and Lu Siya could see, they did not notice any monsters.
They did not know what the humans in the darkness ahead of them were shooting madly.
A thought appeared in Meng Chao's head, and he whispered something to Lu Siya.
Lu Siya frowned a little and pressed her palms against the wall again.
Whoosh!
The mine explorer skill was activated, and small spikes rose from the walls, ceiling, and floor around them.
Since there were too many spikes that appeared in an instant, each spike could not be too long, thick, or sharp. At most, it was the length of a finger, so it could not deal a fatal blow to the monsters.
But Meng Chao stared at the walls and ceiling around him. He noticed that the spikes on the left side of the ceiling seemed to have been obstructed by something and snapped in an instant.
Meng Chao did not hesitate. At lightning speed, he threw the five scorpion stingers at his waist.
The five stingers were spread out in the shape of plum blossoms. When he threw them, they created a sound that was even more terrifying than that of a bullet.
Three of them missed. With a thud, they pierced the ceiling.
The other two seemed to have pierced a creature in the air. They floated strangely in the air, and neon green liquid gradually seeped out of them.
'That's it!'
Killing intent shone in Meng Chao's eyes. He took a swift step forward, and the mandibles of the Golden Scythe drew a nearly perfect arc from bottom to top. They formed a snow-white saber glare in the darkness, and it went straight for the spot between the two stingers.
With a squelch, a large amount of neon green liquid exploded in the air.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya heard a scream that sounded like a baby's cry at night at the same time.
Something that looked like a slug, an octopus, and a brain appeared in the air. It was something that could not be described with words.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya had seen countless monsters that were deformed and ugly. They gave people nightmares for three days and three nights.
But they had to admit that the thing in front of them was so ugly that it made other monsters vomit the food they ate the night before.
Besides, it seemed to possess a strange power that stirred up the disgust and fear in the depths of human genes. Even Meng Chao's mental strength index started fluctuating when he saw it.
"It's a Brain-rotting Insect!"
Meng Chao gasped for breath. "Not only does it have invisibility, it's also an expert in creating illusions and mind control. Its ability to create illusions is three times stronger than the Illusion Wolves that the White Spirit belongs to!"
Their minds raced, and the two of them immediately understood the monster's scheme.
It hid in the dark and invaded a human's brain to create illusions on their retinas, making them think that a large group of monsters was attacking them.
The people inside did not know what was going on, so they could only fight back and try to seal off the tunnel.
In the end, not only did they waste a lot of ammunition, they also wasted precious time.
It wouldn't take long for the dead monsters to turn into undead creatures.
At that time, perhaps the humans inside would not have a single bullet they could use to fight back.
Fortunately, even though the Brain-rotting Insect had powerful mind attacks, it was just like the Demonic Air Ripping Eye.
Its close-quarters combat abilities were really bad, and it did not have a decent shell on its body either. It could only use its invisibility to protect itself.
Since Meng Chao saw through its disguise …
Only death awaited them.
The Brain-rotting Insect took a solid hit and was practically cut in half.
It screamed and fell from the ceiling. While it swung its thick and short tentacles to escape, it released a sharp mind attack at Meng Chao.
Unfortunately, its target was a soul that had been baptized by the apocalypse.
Meng Chao snorted coldly and quickly moved forward. He held the Golden Scythe's mandibles in a reverse grip and pierced the Brain-rotting Insect's body, pinning it to the ground.
At the same time, spirit energy surged into his right leg like a tidal wave. His muscles swelled up after they were strengthened by spirit tattoos, and his right leg practically doubled in size. Crimson flames surged out of his torn pants to form profound and complicated runic symbols.
This was the ultimate skill Principal Sun had taught him — Demon Subduing Pole — with the three main meridians and eighteen branch meridians in his right leg.
Meng Chao roared and stomped down with his right leg. Like a demon subduing pole, he struck the Brain-rotting Insect's body with the force of a thunderbolt. The monster was instantly torn to pieces. Its juices spilled everywhere, and it was reduced to mush.
Once the main body died, the illusion in front of the humans instantly crumbled.
Meng Chao's deafening roar also caused the people to shudder, and the crazed gunshots came to an abrupt stop.
The people in the dark looked at each other at a loss. They could not understand what was going on. The corridor in front of them had been filled with fierce monsters, so why did all the monsters disappear in the blink of an eye, and only one person was left … who looked like a divine soldier who had descended from the heavens?
"You were hit by a mind attack! Everything you saw just now was an illusion! “
Meng Chao shouted and flung the Brain-rotting Insect's carcass to the side before he strode over.
It was only then that he noticed that there was a small armory at the end of the corridor.
This was a standard facility in many commercial buildings, hotels, and office buildings.
It was so that if monsters rushed into the building, the humans could arm themselves to the teeth as soon as possible and fight against the monsters on every floor.
Usually, the walls of a small armory were really thick. There were steel plates embedded in the middle, and they could be used as emergency shelters.
The survivors had already slaughtered their way into the armory. As long as they closed the alloy door, they could last longer.
But they were controlled by the Brain-rotting Insect, and they could not free themselves from the illusion.
If Meng Chao and Lu Siya had not arrived in time, before long, they would have been submerged by the zombie and undead horde.
When the people realized this, they were instantly filled with gratitude toward Meng Chao, just like Xiao Fanghua and the others.
