Qiao Liushan couldn't help hesitating for a few seconds at that moment, and finally gripped the stool legs tightly, stabbing down firmly in the direction of the monster.

In the next second, the stool seemed to be pierced into the concrete floor, and the huge impact caused the legs of the stool to break in two.

The broken thorns on the stool scratched his palm directly, and the blood quickly dripped on the ground, completely absorbed by the viscous mixture.

——It seemed to be more bright red there.

Qiao Liushan's attention was all on the monster, and he was shocked to find that his attack just now did not cause any damage to the monster.

There wasn't even a scratch on the monster. .

He realized with horror that this monster was far stronger than it actually was.

The monster turned its head slowly, and the smirk on its face expanded, almost running through the entire face, as if it had been split in two.

Qiao Liushan took two steps back subconsciously, his mind almost went blank with fear, and the courage he had inspired disappeared at this moment.

The monster let go of its hand slowly, and the white sail whose life and death were unknown lost its support and immediately fell to the ground like a pool of rotten meat.

Qiao Liushan trembled when he saw this, and then watched the monster walking towards him.

His two-meter-high body almost blocked the corridor, leaving him no chance to escape.

The monster raised its arm and grabbed Qiao Liushan's heart very quickly.

Qiao Liushan closed his eyes in despair, this time, he was really doomed.

But after two seconds, the imagined pain did not appear, Qiao Liushan's heart skipped a beat, he opened his eyes nervously and froze immediately.

Because the monster kept the motion of extending its hand motionless, and finally retracted slowly.

Its expression was full of unwillingness and undisguised malice towards Qiao Liushan.

Qiao Liushan realized something.

Soon, it slowly retreated and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Qiao Liushan stood there in shock, his hands and feet were almost numb to the point of being unconscious.

After a while, he realized that he ran to Bai Fan's side in a hurry, and tested Bai Fan's breath.

Although the breathing is so weak that it is almost inaudible.

But still alive.

Qiao Liushan breathed a sigh of relief, his legs were so weak that he sat on the ground directly, unable to say a word.

Almost, he really died.

Seeing that Bai Fan and Qiao Liushan hadn't come back, the residents on the first floor gradually became uneasy.

The resident wearing glasses trembled, "Are they... dead?"

"How about, let's go to the fourth floor to have a look." The female resident said with a pale face, "What if they are still alive."

The resident wearing glasses hurriedly backed away, shaking his head desperately and saying, "I, I won't go."

The remaining resident obviously didn't want to go there either.

The female resident and Li Xiaokang looked at each other and decided to go to the fourth floor to take a look.

Because judging from the previous monster hunting time, the monster should have left now.

It should be safe for now.

But just to be on the safe side, the two waited anxiously for a few minutes before heading to the fourth floor together. They saw the two residents lying on the ground in the corridor and Qiao Liushan sitting there at a glance.

The two were pleasantly surprised.

Qiao Liushan is still alive!

The two hurried over, and then learned the reason why they were still alive from Qiao Liushan.

After the two listened, they felt a little scared for Qiao Liushan and the others. Fortunately, it happened to be the time when the monster had to stop chasing, otherwise it would really be dead.

Qiao Liushan's hands and feet were still weak, so the two simply stayed and waited for Qiao Liushan to recover, during which time they checked Bai Fan's arm.

Although the wound was deep but not large, it did not result in death.

However, in this dangerous world full of rotting corpses, serious problems such as wound infection and lack of anti-inflammatory drugs all indicate that Bai Fan's life is counting down.

The three of them fell silent, their faces extremely ugly.

Li Xiaokang looked at Qiao Liushan hesitantly, but he still didn't say anything after seeing the other's pale face.

If Qiao Liushan had given up on Cao Jie at that time, all this might not have happened.

Among all the surviving residents, Bai Fan is the least likely to cause accidents, because only he knows the rules about the monster's walking route.

Once he died, everyone would die here sooner or later.

For Cao Jie, it is really not worth it.

Qiao Liushan didn't notice Li Xiaokang's expression. At this moment, he was completely at a loss, as well as emotions such as self-blame and annoyance, all welling up in his heart, which made him almost unable to calm down.

Could it be that he guessed wrong...

Li Xiaokang was silent for a long time before he said, "Let's go back to the first floor first."

Qiao Liushan and Li Xiaokang carried Bai Fan and Cao Jie on their backs respectively, while the female resident helped the unconscious people on both sides from time to time, and they walked back slowly.

When they arrived on the first floor, the two residents who were sitting there saw that Bai Fan was being carried back, so they hurried over to help.

Bai Fan's breathing was barely audible, and his pale face had reached a shocking level.

Everyone's heart sank.

Bai Fan was originally extremely weak, but now he was injured again, no one knows whether he can still hold on.

Among them, the resident wearing glasses couldn't help feeling resentful, and blamed all this on Qiao Liushan, "If it wasn't for saving you two, nothing would happen to Bai Fan, and if he died, all of us would have to play over."

"Okay, what's the use of talking about it now, it's better to find a way to save people." Qiao Xiaokang said in a bad tone.

The resident wearing glasses immediately shut up, secretly hating.

Qiao Liushan didn't say a word, and the guilt in his heart became more and more intense. What happened on the fourth floor just now broke his doubts about the monster and Bai Fan in his heart.

He always thought that monsters would lose the ability to kill because they had no chains, just like in reality, that's why Bai Fan was able to survive many times in the past half month without getting injured.

But obviously, he guessed wrong.

Monsters do have the ability to hurt people, and the wound on Bai Fan's arm cannot be faked.

It's just useless to regret now.

Up to now, everyone can't do anything at all, they can only pray that Bai Fan can survive this catastrophe.

However, I don't know if it's because he just injured his arm, or because Bai Fan stayed in this place for too long, and some special changes occurred in his body.

After half an hour, Bai Fan gradually woke up.

However, due to some weakness in his body, he was temporarily unable to stand up.

Facing everyone's slightly surprised eyes, Bai Fan smiled wryly, and said, "I just hurt my arm, how can I die so easily."

It seemed reasonable for everyone to think about it. If it were them, they might not be able to survive by eating human flesh in this half month.

Human beings often burst out with incredible power in certain predicaments.

It can only be said that Bai Fan's will to survive is too strong.

Li Xiaokang thought more simply.

No matter what the reason is, as long as Bai Fan is still alive, wine is more important than anything else.

Qiao Liushan showed guilt on his face: "Thank you for saving me before."

Bai Fan smiled weakly when he heard the words, "I'm not all here to save you, it's better to kill me alone than you two to die in the monster's hands, it can't kill more people."

Bai Fan explained the reason for the contrast between his front and back.

Qiao Liushan didn't know if he believed it or not, but he just expressed his thanks again and again.

Then, in the following time, two other people were responsible for carrying Bai Fan, while Qiao Liushan and Li Xiaokang were in charge of Cao Jie. Relying on Bai Fan's dictated route, they managed to escape the monster's pursuit again with difficulty.

But everyone's strength is passing faster.

Bai Fan was able to stand up, but he couldn't walk too fast. He sat there and said in a hoarse voice: "If this continues, it will be bad for all of us. Cao Jie and I are both burdens, and we must die."

Everyone didn't speak, but they all subconsciously chose Cao Jie.

Even Li Xiaokang had the idea of ​​killing Cao Jie, and the female resident kept silent the whole time, minimizing her sense of existence as much as possible.

The only obstacle to kill Cao Jie is Qiao Liushan.

No one spoke. It seemed that for them, directly proposing to kill Cao Jie would tear off the last fig leaf.

They just looked at Qiao Liushan subconsciously, as if they had handed over this unbearable and dark choice to Qiao Liushan.

Qiao Liushan had to make a choice between 'let everyone be consumed continuously' or 'sacrifice Cao Jie'.

At this time, Xia Chenxi appeared.

Qiao Liushan didn't say what he suspected about Bai Fan, but simply narrated the whole process.

Others also deliberately concealed the details that they wanted to kill Cao Jie, and added other details that Qiao Liushan forgot to mention.

All instinctively conceal their dark sides.

Xia Chenxi seemed unaware of this, and after listening to it, she showed a thoughtful expression, and said hesitantly: "It seems that the nine rooms in the corridor and the black fog on both sides may hide some clues. See if we can escape from here."

"Yes." Qiao Liushan nodded.

Xia Chenxi sorted out her thoughts, then remembered a detail, and asked all the residents: "By the way, do you still remember when the monster chased you for the first time, who was the first to encounter the black mist?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. At that time, everyone was immersed in the fear of being chased by monsters. They could hardly remember who hit the black mist and fell down.

"It seems...it's Cao Jie." Qiao Liushan said suddenly.

Everyone froze for a moment, and then seemed to suddenly realize something.

"I see, Cao Jie went crazy because he encountered that black mist!!" The resident wearing glasses trembled.

The question that troubled everyone finally found the answer at this moment, and the fear of the unknown in everyone's heart seemed to quietly dissipate.

As long as they are careful not to touch the black mist, they won't become like Cao Jie.

Everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Xia Chenxi's heart skipped a beat. He was more far-reaching than anyone thought.

If the reason for Cao Jie's madness is really related to the black fog in the corridor.

This also means...he cannot get close to the black mist.

He had always suspected that the black mist was the exit from the dream, because he had entered the dream from the black mist-like passage before.

wrong.

There's one thing that doesn't make sense.

If exposure to black mist drives people crazy, all survivors have entered the dream state more than once.

It doesn't make sense, only Cao Jie is crazy.

Xia Chenxi thought about it, and felt that the black mist should be one of the reasons, but there might be another terrible thing, which was the main reason for Cao Jie's madness.

and……

Bai Fan is definitely not normal.

Xia Chenxi suppressed her vigilance and apprehension towards Bai Fan, acting very normally, and naturally proposed to go to room 410 on the fourth floor to take a look, hoping to find a way to leave the dream.

Xia Chenxi looked around at the crowd, and said with some embarrassment: "But I'm not very familiar with this place yet, can anyone take me there?"

Qiao Liushan said: "Let me go there with you, I have been to that room more than once."

The other residents didn't think that Xia Chenxi could find useful clues in that room, and they didn't want to take any risks, so they all kept silent.

Li Xiaokang originally planned to go with Qiao Liushan, but he didn't know what he thought of in the next second, so he changed his mind.

Bai Fan didn't stop Xia Chenxi the whole time, but said the same thing again before Xia Chenxi and Qiao Liushan left, "Remember to smear the mixture in the corridor, that thing may help you avoid monsters."

Xia Chenxi nodded when she heard the words, and said, "Thank you, I see."

Bai Fan stared straight at the disappearing figures of the two, and something more intense surged in his bloodshot eyes.

Xia Chenxi and Qiao Liushan walked up to the fourth floor in silence, carefully avoiding the stumped limbs on the steps.

Xia Chenxi suddenly said to Qiao Liushan, "What do you want to say to me by avoiding those people?"

Qiao Liushan was not surprised that Xia Chenxi guessed his intentions, and I am afraid that other residents would also be aware of this.

It's just that they didn't think that Xia Chenxi had the ability to take everyone out of here, and they were full of fear of the fourth floor, so they didn't follow.

Qiao Liushan was silent for a while, and then told Xia Chenxi all the details that he had deliberately concealed on the first floor in the shortest possible language.

"I think something is wrong with Bai Fan, and I think the other residents are aware of this, but they deliberately pretend that they don't know anything in order to survive." Qiao Liushan was a little confused, "It's just that I can't figure out why Bai Fan and the monster deliberately Set up this game."

He didn't guess this at the time, and it wasn't until Xia Chenxi appeared that he suddenly noticed the abnormality of Bai Fan's inconsistency while explaining the details.

In the past half month, without any injuries, Bai Fan actually summed up and memorized the monster's various walking routes.

No matter how lucky a person is, it is impossible to do all this.

Besides.

Although he didn't know Bai Fan very well, for a person who could decisively propose to kill Cao Jie, he would actually be injured in order to save himself and Cao Jie.

Although Bai Fan gave a very reasonable reason for this point, the other party ignored a very important detail.

In order to survive, Bai Fan can even eat human flesh. His desire to survive is extremely strong, so how could he sacrifice himself in order to prevent the monster from achieving a certain purpose.

This inconsistent character is extremely inconsistent.

The only thing that can explain it all seems to be the most unlikely reason.

That is, Bai Fan and the monster co-acted a scene for himself, the purpose is to cover up the truth that the monster cannot kill.

But... why?

This was why Qiao Liushan couldn't figure it out.

Xia Chenxi was a little surprised that Qiao Liushan had guessed part of the truth in just a few hours.

Xia Chenxi gave her own guess based on the important information provided by Qiao Liushan.

"Maybe it's because Bai Fan is no longer human. Otherwise, why would the monster hurt him?"

A wake-up call.

Qiao Liushan was taken aback for a moment, and then murmured: "That's right, why didn't I think of that, that's why he is cooperating with the monster in this scene. In fact, he is already with the monster."

Xia Chenxi nodded, "Let's go, first enter the room."

Room 410 is still the same as before.

Qiao Liushan told Xia Chenxi what he found in this room a few times ago.

"I found that there seemed to be a battle in this room. Look at the chairs and the scratches on the walls. It is very likely that something fought with that monster."

Speaking of this, Qiao Liushan suddenly thought of something, suppressed his faint excitement, and quickly said to Xia Chenxi: "Does this mean that that thing has enmity with the monster?"

He paused, "If, if we can find out this thing, use each other and the monster to fight to the death..."

The more he talked, the more he felt that this method was very feasible. He suppressed his excitement, walked back and forth for several steps, and reminded Xia Chenxi: "That monster is stronger than reality, even if all of us put together, it will be difficult to hurt him." to it."

Xia Chenxi stood there, his expression suddenly became a little strange after listening.

- Stop talking.

Qiao Liushan felt that Xia Chenxi seemed to be extraordinarily quiet, and finally came out of the inexplicable excitement, raised his head in doubt, "What's wrong with you?"

Xia Chenxi looked calm, "It's okay, but I think your idea may not be very practical, because we don't know what that thing is or where it is."

Qiao Liushan was taken aback, as if being poured by a basin of cold water, and said after a while, "You're right."

The implementation of his method is not high at all.

The two fell into silence and began to search the room in silence.

Suddenly, Xia Chenxi quickly called Qiao Liushan over, with an unprecedented serious expression, pointing to the sofa: "Have you ever seen a mass of blood seeping in here before, leaving traces of a human figure?"

He briefly described the general appearance of the trace of this figure.

Qiao Liushan was taken aback suddenly, and instead of asking how Xia Chenxi knew, he quickly recalled it, and his expression turned cold.

He said with difficulty: "No..."

He had never seen bloody traces on this sofa, and if there were, it was absolutely impossible for him to ignore such an obvious and important clue.

Xia Chenxi was also quiet for a moment, and Qiao Liushan looked at each other.

In the ultimate silence...

Qiao Liushan's scalp gradually became numb, and he imagined this bloody trace walking out of the sofa. The more he thought about it, the more horrified he felt.

In the next second, Xia Chenxi said with an extremely serious and sincere expression: "I have something to do, you can watch the door for me, and remind me if there are monsters."

Qiao Liushan nodded quickly when he heard the words, and said very seriously: "Don't worry."

At the same time, he was thinking about what Xia Chenxi was going to do.

——Is it related to escaping from the dream?

Then in the next second, Qiao Liushan saw Xia Chenxi take out his mobile phone from his pocket, the expression on the other party's face was so serious that it seemed to decide whether they could survive this crisis, and said: "Give me 2 minutes to play Play the game."

Qiao Liushan's eyes widened suddenly: "???"

--cell phone? ? ?

The author has something to say: Qiao Liushan's heart: Brother, do you know that we are about to die?In the end, you told me that you only play games?

Xia Chenxi: You don't understand, I play games just to survive.
