Returning from the abyss

Chapter 804 Doomsday World
Based on her intuition, Lu Ning suspected that she could not delve into how the fifteen people were paired.Although the room was brightly lit, she felt that everyone's face was unclear, who was mixed in, and what was the identity of this mixed in... She didn't know whether she should look into it.

The kind of instant death has long existed in the scene, and sometimes death is just a wrong step.After even triggering the final warning function of the Requiem just now, Lu Ning became more and more cautious.

The rest of the people did not bring up this strange situation. People danced slowly to the music to the 10-minute deadline, and then stopped in unison.

"Finally... the last thing is done, right?" Qi Leyin asked.

"Yes, dear guests, all the matters ordered by the master have been completed. You can leave the Hongmei Pavilion after eleven o'clock in the evening. Thank you very much for being able to participate in this dance. On behalf of the master, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you all. " Feng Yuanxi bowed and said.

"Hmph. You have to leave later, right? Both here and outside are in chaos, and your master obviously doesn't care about your lives." Miss Yan sneered.

"If the master doesn't show up by the end of the dance, we will also escape from here. After all, it seems that the world outside has changed."

Everyone moved the stools to the door, and Meng Juan gave everyone a temporarily carved wooden sign with the superpower he had researched attached to it. As long as they waited until eleven o'clock, everyone would immediately walk out of the gate of the Hongmei Pavilion, no matter what Also flee down the mountain.

Lu Ning sat on the stool, staring at the time on the phone like everyone else. Now she can no longer see what the outside news is, and the phone communication is completely cut off.What has become of the outside world?Can people with superpowers still be as detached as they are in everyday life?

The time came to the last 5 minutes, and the "master" still didn't take the initiative to reveal his identity, and he probably didn't dare.Tang Ling, Ms. Yan, Michael and several others had already stood up, holding their salutes and ready to leave the house at any time, even though it was freezing outside now.

Lu Ning glanced back at the servants, they had already packed their own things, which were much less than the guests' things, just packed some food and some clothes.Ye Yunmei's arm seems to have been treated with some method. Although it is stiff now, at least it can be lifted and lowered, and with her superpower, she can hold things.Then, she inexplicably recalled Pan Kai's death, the strange room condition, his storage habits, and no trace of superpowers could be found at the scene...

No, if Pan Kai's ability is to remotely control electrical appliances, why would he use his mobile phone to defend against attacks?Even if you call for help, leaving a message is more useful than directly scrapping your mobile phone.Although it does not rule out the possibility of finding something convenient to defend in a panic, it is actually more convenient to hide in the space in the room than to defend.

—He thinks he can’t hide?He knows he can't hide?

Lu Ning suddenly stood up, but at this moment, Qi Leyin suddenly shouted: "It's eleven o'clock! We can go!"

Miss Yan stepped out of the door first, and after a few seconds turned around and shouted: "No problem! We can leave!"

Everyone rushed to the door, and Lu Ning's impulse to study the scene retreated, and followed the people to the outside of the house.The cold air made many people shiver, but they were already mentally prepared.

The ropeway is no longer in operation, and you have to take the path down the mountain. Everyone turned on the flashlights and found the intersection. The snow was still thick. Mr. Zhou cut a few thick and straight branches from the surrounding trees to make a simple Trekking poles began to scout ahead.Feng Yuanxi remembered the safe path stepped on by the people in front, and was responsible for guiding and clearing the road in the middle.In the back are people like Qi Leyin, Michael, and short-haired white-collar workers who are not capable in this area, as long as they follow the path swept out in front.

After three hours of cold and tired walking on the mountain road, everyone finally saw the house of the service station at the foot of the mountain, and stopped in unison.

The lights were supposed to be on there at night, at least the two big lights outside must be on to ensure that the guests who arrive can be found immediately.But now the lights have gone out, and the place has plunged into complete darkness.Everyone even subconsciously extinguished the light in their hands to prevent attracting any unknown things.

"Meng Juan, Tian Xiao, you two and I will go over and have a look." Mr. Zhou said, "At least we can deal with any danger. If it is safe, we will flash the lights three times. If there is danger, we will flash the lights twice. Immediately run away."

The two agreed, and followed Mr. Zhou to touch the front.The rest of the people hid in the bushes and waited. The time was stretched very long at this moment, and Lu Ning could actually see some strong anger in her vision, and the twisted feeling even made her feel a little dizzy.However, since Meng Juan passed by together, there is probably some way to deal with it. She just needs to wait here for the result.

However, 10 minutes passed and no flashing lights were seen.

"Did something happen to them?" Qi Leyin whispered a little uneasy.

"Impossible." Tang Ling replied firmly.

Just when the uneasy atmosphere became more and more serious, a flashing light finally appeared in front of him.One, two, three, three flashes are obvious.But what was a little strange to Lu Ning was that there was no change in those huge angers. Could it be that those people didn't meet them?still is……

Everyone hurried out of the bushes, and ran quickly in the direction of the flashing lights.They still didn't dare to make too much noise, fearing that there might be some unknown monster in the darkness.Soon, they arrived at the two-story building of the service station. Tian Xiao was standing on the steps, and the flash was using his super power just now.

"Tian Xiao, how is it? Is it safe inside?" Feng Yuanxi asked.

"Probably..." Tian Xiao's expression was a bit indescribable.

It was only when everyone walked in that they realized that this place was considered safe. Although the headlights in the building were not lit, Mr. Zhou and Meng Juan had already found some candles to light and put them in a few corners away from the windows.It is not safe because there are bloodstains and corpse fragments everywhere, and no one can see a complete one. No one knows whether the murderer who caused the current situation is still entrenched here.

"Outside...is it really hopeless?" Professor Xu sighed.

"Impossible, although large-scale resistance may not be possible due to communication interruption, but small-scale groups are still capable of fighting." Ms. Yan was quite calm, "If there are fragments, I can also reproduce the situation at that time. See what's going on with these people."

After finishing speaking, she activated her superpower on the small piece of corpse on the ground.A red human phantom appeared immediately. That person ran over at a very fast speed in the corridor. He was probably being chased by something. He hid behind the wall with a tense expression on his face, and he didn't even dare to breathe. After about Seven or eight seconds later, he breathed a sigh of relief, poked his head out from behind the wall and tried to take a look, and then at this moment, his head disappeared from his body, and then his whole body seemed to be hit by a high-pressure water flow Usually broken into small pieces.

"What kind of attack is this?" Qi Leyin asked tremblingly.

"Bite off the head and then let out a breath?" Lu Ning guessed, "But if you judge this way, the monster is not small. If it is still here, we probably would have discovered it long ago."

At this time, Mr. Zhou came down from upstairs.

"All the communication equipment here is also broken. I saw the body of a service member. From the initial inspection, this person is old and dead, but the ID card shows that he is only 32 years old now."

"Can we go home normally?" The rich businessman was also a little desperate at the moment.

Lu Ning turned her head to look at him, she was really naive to still have such thoughts at this moment.But she immediately realized something, and immediately asked, "Is there someone missing?"

Everyone hurriedly looked at each other, and finally Jin Xiuqing said, "Ms. Luo seems to be missing."

Ms. Luo is the short-haired white-collar worker.

"She came down the mountain with us, and she said a few words before." Miss Yan folded her arms, "When did you disappear?"

"We were at the back at the time, but everyone was looking at the road ahead..." Qi Leyin said tremblingly.

"You mean we were attacked and we didn't even notice?" Mr. Zhou looked outside, "Then we can't stay here for long, check it out as soon as possible, we have to rush to the vicinity..."

"I don't think so." Meng Juan walked over from the side of the corridor, "Now this place is the safest, because there are few people in the service station, if all the monsters are transformed by humans, the number of monsters that may be produced here is the least. , Once you enter a town with a large population, the possibility of monsters being born is much higher."

"Really?" Tang Ling asked.

"It's just a basic judgment. We are still not sure whether the source of these monsters is really all human beings." Meng Juan said, "It's a big deal for us to assign some people to watch the night. At least our sight will not be blocked after dawn."

This proposal was accepted by everyone. It is too dangerous to go out to find a town in such a cold and dangerous night, and many people find it difficult to accept it.Mr. Zhou finally agreed. There are dormitories for employees in the service station, and most of them have no corpses or bloodstains, so they can barely be used to live in people.After experiencing a series of events in the Hongmei Pavilion, the resistance of the people to living in this kind of place is much less.

No one asked about the whereabouts of the short-haired white-collar worker in the end, and no one would look for him if he got lost at such a time, even people like Mr. Zhou and Ms. Yan would not take this risk.

In the end, just as Meng Juan said, everyone was safe until dawn, and so were the few people on the night watch.When the sky was dark, everyone got up.After using the gas stove at the service station and the food they brought, they simply cooked something to eat, and then everyone went outside.

Those monsters are there.

It was impossible to see clearly in the darkness last night, but now that it was daytime, the monsters did not hide their figures.They coil around the utility poles around the service station like scaleless snakes, with heads of jumbled bones and eyeballs, with a slit that barely counts as a mouth.These monsters seemed to be resting, and everyone did not disturb them, but quietly detoured to the parking lot from the route without poles.Fortunately, there didn't seem to be any fierce fighting here, and the damage was not too serious. Mr. Zhou, Ms. Yan and others quickly found their cars, and none of them were damaged.

"Everyone, I'm afraid it's time to make a decision." Mr. Zhou clapped his hands lightly, "Get in the car, we can get out of here and see what's going on in the outside world. But each of us has family and friends , The origins are also different. I must give priority to returning to my own home, and I believe that everyone has similar thoughts... Then, should we act as a group, or go our separate ways? Everyone should decide at this time."

"Well... At my age, even a person with super powers is not a fighter. I'm afraid I can't go far alone." Professor Xu smiled wryly.

"I don't want to go alone!" Qi Leyin yelled, "Those monsters look very powerful, how can I handle them?"

"But I will definitely not go the same way as him here." Ms. Yan said, "I want to go southeast, and he is going north, which is definitely not the same direction. Of course, I welcome anyone who wants to go on the same road with me, but there is no guarantee of safety. I also saw my super power, which has no fighting effect."

"Sorry, everyone, the two of us are going to leave together." Meng Juan smiled wryly, "Tang Ling and I don't plan to form a team. But you don't have to worry about my superpowers failing, just carry the wooden card with you. gone."

Lu Ning also immediately stated that it is no problem to hide her ability and go back alone, and she is not going to leave with the team.The reason is that she feels that the host is still mixed among these guests, and now she has no sense of trust in the other party. With such an unstable factor in the team, she might as well form a new one by herself. Anyway, the task requires There are only twenty people, not many.

Everyone divided into teams, and then Mr. Zhou and Ms. Yan set off with their fellow travelers. Meng Juan and Lu Ning said goodbye and left quickly with Tang Ling. Lu Ning stayed where she was and thought about this. What should the doomsday world do next?

If the priority is to complete the task, you should first inquire about the information on the type A virus catalog.Communication cannot be cut off all the time, people will probably be able to research new means of communication soon, but before that, she has to find a settlement, a place with living humans, and get a general understanding of the outside world in these few days. What exactly has changed in days.

She glanced at her phone, January [-]st... In any sense, a new year had begun.
