You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"..." Xiao Yao, who was gasping for breath, was unable to speak in the end.

"Then I sang?" Yu Luying said.

Singing can boost Xiao Yao's physical strength, strengthen various conditions and heal injuries, but during this period of time, Yu Luying needs to focus on singing and is easily attacked by the enemy.

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Yao finally yelled, "Be careful, your ice chips are splashing on me!"

"Isn't it cool in the middle of summer?" Yu Luying was actually in the mood to joke.

"Damn, I'm frostbitten!" Xiao Yao said.

The ice arrows were thrown in a farther direction, but the effect was not good. Xiao Yao had to swing his sword and shield vigorously, trying to block the shadow group in front of him and not let Yu Luying miss them.

Fortunately, these shadows almost all come from the same direction.

In this kind of unparalleled mowing game, it would be great if I had a spear in my hand, Xiao Yao thought.

Something quietly floated up out of thin air, covered with a captivating white frost.

Xiao Yao felt a biting cold wind passing over his head, the thing had already passed over his head, split open a shadow's head, whirled around, and fell steadily back into Yu Luying's hand.

"Damn it," Xiao Yao yelled, "You finally remembered how to use this trick? Didn't you forget to bring your axe?"

Xiao Yao will never forget how badly he and Shen Jie were beaten by Yu Luying's flying axe in Teacher Yao's hall, the so-called "Parent-Child Education Center". In the end, he only defeated her by cheating with symbiosis.

I mean, what on earth does this ability have to do with Cinderella? Cinderella still has to go to the woods to chop wood by herself?

"Xiao Yao," Yu Luying shouted, "There's someone behind too!"

While fighting, Xiao Yao took the time to look back and vaguely saw a large number of shadows pouring in from the windows of the stairwell.

What about the 23rd floor? Can it fly? Or are they all Spider-Man?

Xiao Yao was still considering whether to use the shield in his hand to block the window of the stairwell, when some shadows howled and pounced towards Yu Luying.

The young man was about to turn around to rescue her, but in the dark green, dim moonlight, he vaguely saw that Yu Luying's body was entangled in thorns and covered with a layer of cold ice - the shadows were blocked by the ice barrier, and then fell to the ground and dissipated under the influence of the thorns.

Ah, familiar taste, good job little apple.

The girl's body continued to change, and soon she reached her complete form.

After such a long time and so many adventures, Yu Luying finally turned back into the armored female knight - the gray-blue armor was entangled with thorns, and a layer of cold ice was attached to the outside. The helmet was a pointed helmet also wrapped with thorns. The strangest thing was her face - she was wearing a mask that looked like someone was covering her eyes with both hands from behind, and one could only vaguely recognize the girl's original appearance from the exposed nose and mouth.

With Yu Luying's enhanced combat power, the speed of destroying enemies has become faster, but Yu Luying's movement speed in this form is very slow, and she cannot sing or cast spells. In the face of a constant stream of enemies, she needs to fight longer, which causes Xiao Yao to consume more physical strength.

The two finally went down two floors and when they reached the 21st floor, Xiao Yao was really exhausted, and this environment of being attacked from both sides was much more severe than at the beginning.

No, this won't work.

Xiao Yao knew this very well.

"No...no, let's...go to the...floor first." Xiao Yao said breathlessly.

He didn't have the energy to say more, but Yu Luying understood what he meant.

After all, the corridors between floors are much more spacious than the stairwells, and maybe you can find a large room to take a breath and rest.

The fire door on the 21st floor was locked.

Damn it, when I get out, I will definitely report you to the fire department, Xiao Yao thought bitterly.

Then he held his breath and kicked the door open with one kick.

This kick exhausted the last of his physical strength. When he rushed into the corridor, the injury from the bicycle fall that day was involved, and he immediately fell to the ground.

Yu Luying almost fell down, but luckily she quickly held the door. She removed the form of the armored female knight and quickly walked up to help him.

"Servant, come to me!" Xiao Yao said.

"If you keep talking nonsense, just get up yourself," said Yu Luying.

"Say: Okay, Master," Xiao Yao corrected.

"Does it hurt?" Yu Luying helped him sit up and said, "I sang."

"Yeah." Xiao Yao nodded weakly.

"The Holy Body is so majestic that we bow our heads in worship. The old rituals of the ancient religion have become a thing of the past, and the rituals of the New Testament continue the holy work..." The girl's angelic voice rang out in the empty corridor.

As the girl sang, Xiao Yao felt his strength restored. The minor injury he had just suffered no longer hurt. He even felt that he could walk faster now.

Strangely enough, the shadow did not pursue them, and the entire empty corridor seemed to form a wonderful safe zone.

The blaring of trumpets had ceased, replaced by regular, deafening bursts of cannon fire.

……gun?

With the help of Yu Luying, Xiao Yao stood up, walked to the window, and took a breath.

He couldn't see the scene outside at all, because the glass windows were covered with dense "people", and there was not even a gap left for him.

These shadows can only be described as "overwhelming" and "blocking out the sun". Each one of them is as agile as Spider-Man, struggling to climb upwards.

Even shadows overlapped shadows, wrapping the facade of the Saint Love Hotel in several layers.

The rumbling sound of artillery was still coming from the distance. Some shadows obviously saw Xiao Yao through the glass window, but no one broke in to attack him.

Yu Luying also noticed that the shadows were whizzing up the stairwell, and none of them came in through the fire door that had just been kicked open to chase the two of them.

"They are not coming for us." Xiao Yao and Yu Luying said in unison.

It turns out that the fierce fight just now was just because the two of us blocked Shadow's way.

"There are two options. The first is to take the elevator down, and the second is to wait here for the filming time to end." Xiao Yao analyzed.

"I'll definitely choose the second one," Yu Luying said. "Normally, you can't take the elevator when there's a fire or earthquake. How dare you do that now? What if it's stopped halfway? It's such a small space. What if you get attacked?"

"That does make sense." Xiao Yao said.

"Besides, if the movie time is not over, what's wrong with leaving the hotel? Maybe it will be the same if we run to Shanghai." Yu Luying continued.

"I'm worried about Shen Jie... and everyone else?" Xiao Yao said, "By the way, what's that noise outside?"

"It sounds like cannon fire." Yu Luying listened carefully and said.

"Yeah, I think so too," Xiao Yao said, "What are these shadows for? Normandy Landing?"

"Xiao Yao, where are my grandfather and uncle?" Yu Luying suddenly asked.

"Which uncle?" Xiao Yao was stunned.

"Uncle!"

"It's in the private room on the 27th floor." Xiao Yao said.

"Oh no, that's bad!" Yu Luying stamped her feet fiercely: "Let's hurry back!"

"No need. Ordinary people who cannot enter shadow time will not be attacked by shadows," Xiao Yao told Yu Luying.

"But what if?" Yu Luying asked anxiously, "They all kept running upstairs. What if Grandpa and the others were their targets?"

Isn't he the old man you always call him? Why is he grandpa? Isn't he so angry? Why is he suddenly concerned? And what is your grandfather's merit to become the VIP target of the shadow? Xiao Yao thought so, but didn't say it out loud.

"Aren't you going to fight them?" Xiao Yao said as he picked up the sword and shield at his feet.

"..." Yu Luying also condensed the iron armor, thorns and ice again.

To be honest, Mr. Yu Texuan is a good person, Xiao Yao thought. But he was a little reluctant to save that annoying uncle.

The two carefully returned to the stairwell and prepared for battle. However, the shadows in the stairwell seemed to be much fewer because there was no "blockage" - therefore, the resistance Xiao Yao and the others faced as they went upstream was much less.

When he returned to the 27th floor while chopping wood, Xiao Yao was still shocked despite being mentally prepared.

The density of shadows here is quite large. All the glass windows in the corridor have been smashed. The shadows that covered the sky and the sun that we saw on the 21st floor are now filing into the corridor of this floor. Everywhere you can see, there are zombie-like shadows drilling into the floors from the facade of the hotel.

Yu Luying frowned slightly, and immediately made a decision. She raised her hand and erected a solid ice wall, sealing off the entire corridor.

The location of this ice wall is very strategic, as it blocks the elevators, stairwells and most of the windows from the outside, while this side of the ice wall is mostly purely enclosed corridors with no windows on both sides.

Maintaining this barrier consumed most of Yu Luying's energy: "Quick, go check on Grandpa!"

"No!" Xiao Yao swung his sword and cut a shadow in half: "You will be in danger!"

As we all know, when the caster is maintaining the barrier, his own defense is very fragile, and he can hardly make any other actions, so he needs special protection.

"It's okay," Yu Luying comforted Xiao Yao, "I still have thorns for protection, a few kittens can't do anything to me, and my health is very high - we share the same health bar."

Xiao Yao was speechless. Where did Xiaopingguo, this gaming idiot, learn these gaming terms?

"I promise you," Yu Luying continued, "If I can't hold on any longer, I'll come and meet you right away. I'll be fine."

Xiao Yao was still hesitating.

"If you don't go, I'll be really angry," Yu Luying said, "If you go, I'll forgive you for secretly going to see my grandfather."

"I fucking told you... I didn't mean it." Xiao Yao muttered, and ran towards the big box where Old Man Yu Texuan had entertained him based on his memory.

Xiao Yao secretly prayed that Yu Luying and his choice were right.

……

Dozens of shadows, maybe more.

Rushing to the door desperately.

Rushing towards the door of the private room where we had just eaten.

After seeing this scene, Xiao Yao couldn't help but start to doubt whether Yu Luying's intuition just now was correct.

“Boom boom!”

The door was forced open and many figures swarmed in.

Xiao Yao followed the shadow group into the Republican-style dining room and saw more shadows crawling into the room through the window.

The two bald bodyguards were still sitting at the table, eating. One was peeling prawns, while the other was holding lobster meat with chopsticks and putting it into his mouth.

Yu Baolu was squatting in the corner, holding his head and trembling, while old man Yu Texuan was standing on the round dining table, using his powerful fists and feet to deal with the group of shadows that besieged him.

Every punch and kick was accompanied by a dazzling light that blinded people's eyes.

No matter how good a mortal's boxing and kicking skills are, they cannot hurt Shadow at all, but the light from the old man's hands and legs can.

Not only that, its power is visible to the naked eye.

The air was filled with the stench of burnt fur.

Although Mr. Yu was vigorous, he was old after all, and was outnumbered, so he was showing signs of fatigue.

"Ouch!" Yu Texuan stepped on a plate of food. The plate didn't break, but made him slide.

The shadow that was closest seized this rare flaw and pierced the old man's thigh with one claw.

"Grandpa!" Xiao Yao shouted.

--split line--

About fifteen minutes ago.

If the stagnation time can still be measured in terms of "fifteen minutes".

Hairtail put his arm around Yan Xiao's shoulders, stood on the beach, and stared at the flames rising into the sky not far away.

Shen Jie originally wanted to take herself with her, but Yan Xiao was so scared that she refused to go with them no matter what.

There was no choice but to stay with her at the beach and wait.

As mentioned earlier, “flames shot up into the sky not too far away.” That was Shen Jie fighting a desperate battle with the shadows.

Those shadows had no intention of attacking Shen Jie. They were intent on running towards the Saint Ai Hotel. However, when they saw Shen Jie chasing them closely from behind, a small number of them turned back to surround her.

It is said to be "a small number", but the absolute number is quite a lot. Shen Jie alone...is it really okay?

The worry on the boy's face was almost overflowing.

Yan Xiao reached out and patted the hairtail: "Looking at the expression on your face, you have been secretly in love with me for a long time, right?"

"You're crazy," Daiyu was stunned. "If she can't stop them, won't those shadows come to us? Besides, isn't Shen Jie your good friend?"

His emphasis was on "your".

Yan Xiao curled his lips and said, "You can just be stubborn, it's okay, you can just secretly have a crush on Bai Yueguang, I don't care."

Hairtail said anxiously: "It's already this late, and you still have the mind to eat this irrelevant-"

He was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Yan Xiao's scream.

Hairtail turned around and saw that Yan Xiao was gone.
