When Adams and the others arrived at the cafeteria on the second floor, the commotion alerted the girl hiding in the kitchen.
She picked up the table knife in a panic, squatted down, and leaned against the cupboard, listening silently.
"Gah gah …" Xu Ning went straight to the kitchen door but found that it couldn't be opened.
He leaned against the door and listened for a while, then took out a card and tapped it on the door.
This card was also found earlier. It was just a doctor's ID and could be used to unlock most of the doors here.
"Tsk …" Xu Ning pushed the door open and walked in after seeing that there was no one around.
Everyone followed closely behind, but they suddenly heard some movement. Xu Ning's eyes were sharp and saw a shadow moving behind a cupboard, as if something was using the cupboard as cover to crawl.
He was shocked and made a shushing gesture, his hand reaching for the knife hanging on the table.
However, after he took the knife, he didn't look for the unknown object. Instead, he slowly retreated, wanting to close the door and leave.
Adams smiled, blocked the door, and walked straight in.
"There's a monster inside! Let's go first! "Xu Ning whispered, thinking that he didn't see it.
Adams shook his head and suddenly jumped onto the cupboard, looking at the girl hiding behind the cupboard.
The girl screamed and jumped up with the knife.
Adams was already prepared to block the knife with his bare hands, but the girl didn't attack him. Instead, she staggered and fell back.
She was so panicked that she didn't even see Adams's face clearly. She only saw a humanoid creature standing high up, and she lost her mind.
She turned the knife around in despair and stabbed her own neck.
"Eh?!" Adams rushed forward, grabbed the knife with his bare hands, and pushed the girl down.
By the time Xu Ning and the others came over, Adams had already taken the girl's table knife and stood up.
"Don't be afraid, we're humans," Adams said, not caring about his bloody palm.
The girl was still in a daze. When she heard Adams say that, she seemed to find it unbelievable, but then she was overjoyed.
"You're not monsters?" the girl asked with tears in her eyes.
Adams asked, "Are you a patient here? What's your name? "
The young girl cried tears of joy. "My name is Chen Ai. Are you here to save me?"
As she spoke, she noticed everyone's clothes. Liu Ye and the others were basically wearing underwear. Only Adams and Xu Ning were dressed decently, but they did not look like government rescue personnel. Her eyes dimmed a little.
Seeing her lively expression and tone, Xu Ning was shocked. "Are you a player?"
Chen Ai blinked in confusion. She thought for a moment and said, "What player? Did you come from another hospital building? "
It was as if in her consciousness, it wasn't pitch black outside the door and outside the window, but a large building.
Thinking of this, Xu Ning said in surprise, "F * ck, there are NPCs?"
Obviously, the girl was a survivor of this building. She was one of the patients who had nothing to do with the strange phenomenon and was hospitalized due to other illnesses.
“NPC? What do you mean? "Chen Ai frowned.
Then, his expression changed drastically. He kicked his legs and retreated, looking at them in horror.
"Ah! You guys are crazy too! You guys are going crazy too! "She seemed to think that Xu Ning was talking nonsense and panicked.
Adams said, "Don't be afraid. We're scared too, so we're talking incoherently. Beauty, let's all calm down. Tell us about the situation of this building. "
He comforted her softly and used some psychological tricks to calm Chen Ai down.
Chen Ai was a patient here. It was only because of leukemia. With the hospital's methods, her condition had improved greatly.
However, since two days ago, the doctor had stopped caring about her, and the paramedics had even stopped giving her medicine.
However, she did not take it seriously until yesterday, when there were continuous screams in the hospital.
She was very scared. Not long after, through the window, she saw a four-legged snake-like monster outside. The monster had nine snake heads and was very scary.
They wore human clothes and killed in various parts of the hospital. They were very agile and could spray acid. They were also very strong and could even climb walls.
Chen Ai saw a security guard being swallowed alive with her own eyes and let out an extremely shrill scream.
Not long after, an army came in and defeated many snake monsters, but it was useless.
Those snake monsters could recover even if their bodies were destroyed. Even if their heads were destroyed, they would grow another one.
The army was wiped out on the first floor. Some of them were scared out of their wits. The crazy people could talk to the snake monsters and become their allies.
"The first floor … There are weapons …" Adams said.
"There are also monsters …" Xu Ning smiled bitterly.
Liu Ye and the others were not afraid at all. They even boasted shamelessly, "Luring the monsters away, then we'll go get our weapons."
"Hehe, good idea. You go lure the monsters." Xu Ning sneered.
However, Liu Ye said confidently, "I've already memorized the topographic map upstairs. I'll lure them away. I'll let you guys see my method of luring monsters."
Adams was speechless. Was she so stubborn? Didn't she hear that the army was wiped out?
He pulled Liu Ye and said, "Don't be angry. People will die here."
Xu Ning sneered, "If she wants to die, let her die. They don't believe in real death in the game. It's useless no matter what you say."
Liu Ye snorted and said, "Do you think I'm an idiot? Yes, I don't believe in real death, but so what? Whether you're telling the truth or not, I won't allow myself to be killed by monsters. "
"What difference does it make whether I believe it or not? You, on the other hand, have been mocking and looking down on people. Do you think I'm sending myself to death? "
"I'm doing something! When I was leading a team, I hated people like you the most. If I succeed, don't share the equipment if you have the guts! "
Adams smiled. Xu Ning's expression changed. He was scolded by this woman until he couldn't talk back.
Then, he said, "Doing something? Do you think you can succeed? "
Liu Ye curled her lips and said, "I don't know … but this sister said that so many soldiers died on the first floor. There must be a lot of weapons. It's impossible for us not to take them."
"Since it's designed like this, we can definitely get them. If we don't push the plot forward, what's the use of staying here?"
Then, she looked at Chen Ai and whispered, "You said it too. We were in a relatively safe place at the beginning. The third floor is indeed very safe, and there's an NPC on the second floor. She gave us information about where the weapons are. In fact, she guided us to the first floor. The danger level should only be a little higher. If we die when we go, then we shouldn't play. We should just cut our own throats with a knife like her! "
Xu Ning was silent.
Beside him, Labelle smiled and said, "I think what Liu Ye said makes sense. Monsters must have weaknesses. From what this beauty said just now, I found that the basilisk's hearing is not good."
"Huh?" Chen Ai was stunned.
Labelle smiled and said, "At least they can't speak. They rely on the vibration of the ground to hear. We've been arguing here for a long time, and you even screamed loudly. The fact that there's no movement downstairs shows that."
"Speaking of which, aren't they snakes? As long as we don't hit the floor heavily, they shouldn't be able to hear us. On the other hand, we can trigger them by hitting the floor with a stick. "
"Since they're so snake-like, it's also written in the disease information that the patient's blood temperature system is destroyed. This means that this group of monsters are cold-blooded animals. It's night now, and the hospital is so cold. Their movement speed may be slower than during the day."
Adams nodded. The two players were eloquent and had actually analyzed a lot of things.
No wonder the group leader wanted to attract players here. If it was a soldier or a policeman, they would probably think more about why, where was this place, how to contact the outside world, and so on.
On the contrary, these people who were addicted to games were more nervous. Their thoughts skipped over the reason, scientific principles, and directly thought about how to attack based on the situation and immersed themselves in the plot.
Adams said, "What's the way out?"
"Huh?" Labelle was stunned.
"What if we fail?"
Liu Ye said, "There are two stairs going down from the second floor and two elevators. Using these three passages, we can lure the basilisk away while going down to get the weapons. As long as we pull the monsters well, there won't be a problem. With my skills, if I fail, what can I do? I can only die. "
"…" Adams was speechless. This was where the heart of the game was not good. They were confident in their skills. If it didn't work, there was nothing they could do. They just had to work harder.
But where would they get the chance to work harder?
So he said to Mo Qiong in his mind, "What are you doing?"
Mo Qiong said, "I'm fighting monsters upstairs … They're very strong. They won't die at all! I can see that the monsters in this game should be undying. They're only set to die in a specific way. If you don't find that way to die, the monsters are invincible. Also … "
"Also what?" Adams asked.
"The basilisk has the ability to distort minds. When fighting with it, you can't be entangled for too long. Otherwise, you'll gradually lose your mind. Even the character I'm controlling has started humming," Mo Qiong said.
Adams said anxiously, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. This indirectly shows that this is just the rules of the game. It only affects the game data. My character will be affected, but I won't on Earth. But obviously, this kind of monster will be useful to me if it's materialized in reality, "Mo Qiong said.
Adams said in his mind, "Come down first. You can meet up with me directly."
"It's okay. There are NPCs here. You can pretend to be one!"
