Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Head-Eating Man-Eating FlowerZheng Liang and the guy in the skull head short sleeves, one holding onto Brother Tie’s lower back and the other gripping his shoulder, pulled him away from the elevator shaft. But the tug-of-war’s center was Brother Tie’s head. Both sides refused to let go, and blood streamed down from Brother Tie’s head as he screamed. But then, another flesh-colored sucker flew out from the elevator shaft and stuck to his mouth! The hands of the man in the skull head short sleeves were stained red with blood. Seeing that the flesh-colored thing was pulling Brother Tie into the elevator gap, and hearing rustling noises from below the shaft, he immediately let go and rushed to the side to close the elevator door, shouting back to his companions, "Quick, help! There’s more of that thing inside!" Gu Yu and the others hurried over. A bald player with a short knife stretched his hand into the elevator gap and cut off the fleshy stalk behind the sucker, finally successfully pulling Brother Tie out. Then the man in the skull head short sleeves and two other players forced the elevator doors shut.

Gu Yu and the others stepped back, watching the continuously vibrating elevator with solemn expressions. The man in the skull head short sleeves said, "It’s not safe outside, and there are monsters in the elevator. Aren’t we trapped on the fifteenth floor now?" "Is Brother Tie okay?" A player with a mole asked at this time. The rescued Brother Tie lay motionless on the ground, the flesh-colored "sucker" still covering his head and face, not falling off. Except for the green liquid spurting from the cut end, the sucker kept wriggling and sucking, making an uncomfortable noise. Seeing that this thing wasn’t dead, everyone backed away. Xu Huo approached, using a dagger to pry open a corner of the sucker and peel it off. The sucker flipped over and fell to the ground, revealing itself to be a hexagonal flower with spikes filling the inside of its petals. It twitched for a while after losing its target before slowly losing its vitality. "He’s not dead, just passed out." Xu Huo removed the second flower, standing up while kicking the Man-Eating Flower away. "This kind of flower should be able to release an anesthetic." Gu Yu, who was nearby, had the man in the skull head short sleeves feed Brother Tie a Self-Healing Potion, then said, "The whole elevator isn’t filled with these things, is it?" Xu Huo shook his dagger, "Not necessarily, but since the Man-Eating Flower could grow out of the elevator shaft, we can’t rule out the possibility of other mutated plants." "It seems that we can only stay on the fifteenth floor," Gu Yu paused for a moment and looked around. "Aside from this public office area, there are some rooms on both sides. Let’s see if we can find anything useful." Xu Huo was non-committal, instead fiddling with the two Man-Eating Flowers with his foot. "So what should we do?" a middle-aged man with a backpack stepped forward to ask, adding, "Although we don’t have your abilities, we have strength in numbers. Just tell us what you need us to do." In addition to the dozen players, more than a hundred ordinary people had entered. They stood closely together, their faces filled with panic and unease. After the middle-aged man spoke, a young girl said, "Please don’t abandon us. My family is very wealthy, I can give you money!" Once someone broached the topic, the rest also began offering money to the players, asking for protection in return. Zheng Liang and the others scoffed at such a scene. "What use is money if you’re dead?" Gu Yu shot them a glare and comforted the crowd: "Don’t panic. We’re all stuck here. The main thing is to stay calm. If any of you are willing, you can help us find some practical tools to block the windows or for self-defense." "You have to understand, players also have a high mortality rate in these games, and there are only about a dozen of us, but you number over a hundred. Even if we were strong, it’s not possible to protect every single person, so you need to think of ways to protect yourselves." "But what can we do?" someone said. "We can’t even run away from those Man-Eating Flowers, and if they come out of the elevator, our only option is to jump out of the building..." "That’s your problem!" the player with the mole raised his voice. "You don’t think we’re obligated to protect you, do you?" The crowd of over a hundred ordinary people was filled with anger, accusations, but mostly despair and sorrow. "You guys find him!" Suddenly, one player pointed at Xu Huo and said, "He once rescued dozens of people from a random instance!" All eyes turned toward Xu Huo, and Xu Huo looked back at the bald player who had spoken, having no recollection of the man. "Before the Super Prop incident, he had planned to join the Ting City Research Institute," Gu Yu explained briefly, and after speaking, she looked at Xu Huo with a complex expression, as she hadn’t heard about this matter before. "Sir, if you can guarantee my safety out of here, I’ll pay you, ten million! Twenty million works too!" the young girl who was first to offer money ran up to him and said. The bid had suddenly reached tens of millions, and clearly, the others couldn’t match this amount of money, thus someone pleaded, "I have a child at home, she’s only three, she can’t be without her mother..." A crowd surged forward frantically toward Xu Huo, who, without finishing his sentence, thrust the Crimson Sword into the ground. The sharp blade pierced the floor like it was slicing through tofu, and everyone’s voices suddenly stopped. Xu Huo looked over the crowd with an indifferent gaze, eventually fixing his eyes on the young girl in front of him and motioned for her to stand aside. The girl retreated with a look of fear. Xu Huo picked up two Man-Eating Flowers from the ground, stapled them together with a stapler, and, holding them, walked off towards the other end. Everyone in the common area watched him as he turned into an adjacent office, which was when Gu Yu said, "Let’s also look around nearby." The players weren’t naive enough to think they could safely remain on the fifteenth floor for ninety hours, so they still needed to search for clues. "What should we do now?" the remaining people couldn’t help but ask. The man with the backpack said, "Let’s all stay calm, for safety’s sake let’s not wander around or touch anything at random so we won’t attract unnecessary trouble." "By the looks of it, we’ll have to stay here for several days, and it’s impossible for everyone to go without food or drink. I suggest we gather up all the food and drinking water. It’s just for these few days; we can endure it." "As long as we don’t cause trouble for the players, if they can get out, they surely won’t mind taking us along." The words made sense, and they managed to calm the restless crowd somewhat, prompting everyone to start doing what they could. "What shall we do?" In the corner, a foreign strongman whispered to the flower girl, "Would we get beaten up if we followed them?" With mixed feelings of regret, the flower girl bit her lower lip and said, "Since he didn’t settle scores just now, he probably won’t do it now either." "We’re all in the same boat. Those ordinary people can’t help us, and they have no reason to refuse us. Plus, the person who’s after us also has some conflicts with the other players, which is good for us." So the two of them also crept after the others.
