Xiao Tian quickly walked away, almost pulling me along with her.
It seemed like she couldn't wait to take me somewhere, which indicated that she was very familiar with the place.
I felt uneasy about this, it was very unsafe. If something suddenly came at us, we would have a hard time defending ourselves.
So I grabbed her, slowed down my pace, and started feeling my way forward along the wall.
Xiao Tian is very clever and obedient. She immediately understood my meaning and obediently stood behind me, no longer running around.
I held the axe in one hand and held her hand in the other, while also handing her the bayonet to defend herself.
And she took out the dagger from her bag and handed it to the fat man, giving a glance to the masked woman, indicating for the fat man to give the dagger to the woman for self-defense. The fat man took the dagger and also glanced at the masked woman, then handed the dagger directly to her. I glanced at the masked woman and found that she didn't have any special expression, very calmly taking the dagger from the fat man's hand.
Just as the fat man was concentrating on observing the surroundings without noticing her, she quietly turned her head and glanced at the fat man. In the current situation, I am not worried that the masked woman, who has temporarily lost her martial arts skills and become an ordinary person, can harm the fat man in the slightest. Rather than believing that she can harm the fat man now, it is better to believe that the monster can harm the fat man.
Of course I didn't stop Fatty from giving her the dagger, in fact, I had another plan in mind.
Soon, we crossed the hall.
According to what Xiao Tian said before, this Lijing Hotel has a total of five floors, which means from the sixty-sixth floor to the seventieth floor all belong to Lijing Hotel.
She just whispered a few words to me just now, actually wanting to take me directly to the 70th floor, because there is a sky garden and a viewing room with a view of the river and sky. She wanted to do something with me there... I immediately suppressed her evil little idea, indicating that we are currently on the run.
Passing through that corridor, rows of guest rooms appeared on both sides. Xiao Tian whispered in my ear, "These are all standard guest rooms, just single or double bed rooms. And at the very front, facing the river, is a slightly more upscale Presidential Suite."
We are now four people, two men and two women, so naturally we need to find a suite. With our goal set, we passed through the regular guest rooms and headed straight for the front row, the Presidential Suite. I held an axe, highly focused, closely observing the rows of guest rooms, fearing that one of the room doors might be open and a monster might suddenly rush out to attack us.
However, my worries are currently unnecessary, as everything seems normal. The footsteps of the fat man and the masked woman are extremely light at this moment, almost inaudible, clearly the instinctive reaction of martial artists facing a dangerous environment. When we reached the vicinity of room 6606 in the fourth row on the right, I noticed that the footsteps of the fat man and the masked woman stopped.
Both of them looked towards the guest room, then glanced at each other and nodded. Fatty pointed with his hand, indicating that there was some movement in this guest room. I stopped and listened carefully, and indeed could hear a very faint strange panting sound coming from inside.
I shook my head, unable to discern what the sound was.
It didn't quite sound human, but at the same time, it did. It was neither human nor monstrous, and I couldn't make a judgment at that moment.
I just noticed that the masked woman had a strange blush on her face upon hearing the sound.
Did she recognize what sound it was? I gestured for everyone to stay away from this guest room and quickly go around to the left. After we successfully went around, I found that Xiao Tian's palms were already sweating, obviously she was still a little flustered, and at this point, she held my hand even tighter.
I pinched her palm to signal her not to be afraid. On both sides of the fifth row are restaurants. Because there may have been a fight here before, the scene is very messy at the moment. Bowls, chopsticks, knives and forks, dining tables, and glassware are scattered all over the floor.
Just as we passed through the sixth row of guest rooms, I noticed something was off - the doors to the rooms in the previous rows were all wide open. And through the shifting light and shadows on the corridor walls, I could see what looked like figures moving inside some of the rooms. At that moment, the chubby person and the masked woman also stopped.
The chubby guy leaned in close to my ear and whispered, " Lao Bai, something's not right." I thought he was referring to the situation ahead, so I whispered back, "Yeah, it does seem like there's a figure moving in the room ahead." To my surprise, the chubby guy shook his head. I looked at him in confusion, and he pointed with his finger in the direction behind us, whispering, "Not in the front, but in the back."
At this moment, I saw the masked woman had already drawn a dagger, her eyes staring fixedly at the corridor we had just walked through, her expression serious, and her body already in a state of readiness for battle. From behind, there came a very faint, almost inaudible, but somewhat chaotic sound of footsteps. I listened carefully again and immediately felt that things were not good. This was not the first time that Fatty and I had encountered this kind of situation.
Often, when you hear such a chaotic and disorderly sound of footsteps, it means that a group of monsters is about to appear. At this point, the fat man's brow also furrowed slightly, and I rarely see him make this expression when facing monsters. Obviously, the number of these monsters is not small, and he is also uncertain in his heart.
Before long, the sound of footsteps became clearer and even the ground began to tremble slightly. It's definitely not possible for the four of us to run forward while supporting each other. Even if it's just me and the chubby guy, there's no guarantee that we can escape. Judging from the sound, the group of monsters is coming towards us. If we don't find a way to deal with them now, we will be even more passive later on.
So I signaled the fat guy to take Xiao Tian and masked woman and leave quickly, while I figured out a way to hold off this group of monsters.
The fat guy looked at me with a puzzled and confused expression, as if to say: "There are quite a few of these monsters, and they're coming at us aggressively."
I couldn't even dare to say that I could hold them off, so what good plan could you possibly have, kid?
I smiled and patted his shoulder, signaling for the fat guy to take the two of them and leave quickly, making sure to protect them both.
"You'll know in a moment," I said to myself.
Kidding aside, from disaster until now, the reason I can still be alive is not just relying solely on brute force, but more importantly, on my brain.
The biggest difference between humans and these Corpse change monsters is that humans have brains. Most people are attacked by monsters mainly because they lose their calm and rationality due to panic and fear. Once they regain their composure, maintain their rationality, and use their brains to deal with these monsters, they will find that it is not as difficult as they imagined.
After all, these monsters are just unconscious instinctive behaviors. This is an important experience I have summarized from observing and understanding these monsters since the disaster began, and comparing them with human beings. At this moment, Xiao Tian turned to look at me, and I noticed that she was already in tears.
I waved to her and made a gesture for her not to cry and to cover her ears. She looked at me thoughtfully, as if she understood a little bit. Then the chubby guy started running with the two of them towards the direction of the last row, the Presidential Suite. Along the way, I saw four or five monsters rushing out of the rooms in front of us, seemingly aware of the increasingly strong ground vibrations.
I only saw the fat guy leading the way, wielding two knives and swiftly cutting off the heads of four or five monsters. As they turned the corner ahead, I quickly turned and ran back to the fifth row of restaurants we had passed earlier. Because when we passed by there earlier, I found some useful things, including edible olive oil, bottled cartridge stove gas canisters, and gas cylinders.
Yes, I didn't see it wrong just now, it's a gas cylinder. Although this type of low safety gas cylinder is not common in ordinary household life now, it is still often seen in large catering companies and hotels.
Large hotels like this usually reserve some gas cylinders temporarily to prevent sudden gas supply issues. The bottled cartridge stove gas canisters are provided by the hotel for self-service barbecue or outdoor-style party events, offering safe and portable gas supplies.
According to Xiao Tian, each floor of the Lijing Hotel has a restaurant, and the restaurant on the sixty-sixth floor is open-plan with the kitchen. So when I saw the overturned gas cylinder and the bucket of olive oil, as well as the full crate of bottled cartridge stove gas canisters, I wasn't surprised. Yes, what I need to do now is to recreate a " barbecue " feast, to buy time for the fat guys to escape and build a safe firewall.
The carpet in the corridor is made of high-quality material and is extremely flammable, which I discovered as soon as I entered the hotel. I poured all the flammable olive oil onto this nearly 40-meter long corridor carpet. Soon, the olive oil quickly seeped down through the seams of the carpet, gradually saturating it.
Then I brought over six gas cylinders, placing them about six meters apart and opening the valves. At the same time, I opened all the valves of a large basket of cartridge stove gas canisters and scattered them all over the corridor. Before long, a faint smell of gas began to permeate the air.
I held my nose and moved four tables from the restaurant to block the corridor in front of the sixth row of guest rooms. Just as I finished arranging everything, a group of monsters came running and pouncing around the corner of the corridor, charging crazily towards me.
I held up the lighter and immediately threw it towards the olive oil-soaked carpet. At that moment, the carpet burst into a raging fire with a loud "boom." Fueled by the olive oil covering the floor, the fire quickly spread forward, engulfing all the monsters in the corridor in an instant.
The fire not only spread, but also ignited the mixture of gas and butane in the air. I immediately turned and ran into the guest room on the left side of the eighth row, firmly locking the door and immediately lying on the ground, covering my ears. Bang! Bang! Bang!
Soon after, a continuous and deafening series of huge explosions could be heard coming from the corridor.
