Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Fleeing into the Thirteenth Floor"The doors didn’t actually connect!" After closing the door, Zheng Liang looked at a wall on the side and said it unconsciously, but he immediately realized afterward that if the doors had led to the same room, there would’ve been no need for two of them. "This must be the first floor," Jiang Yihua glanced to the left and said, "Such a long corridor." Indeed, behind the door was not a room, but a wall on the right and a long passageway stretching out to the left. The passageway had only one dim light left, extending all the way to a corner at the end of the opposite wall. "Should we meet up with Dai Wenqian and the others?" she asked Xu Huo. "No need, just go," Xu Huo had already started running. Jiang Yihua followed him, and seeing them leave, Zheng Liang had no choice but to pick up the injured woman and catch up. Just as they turned the corner, the people ahead suddenly screeched to a halt, forcing him to stop as well. "Why have we stopped?" "We can’t go any further," Xu Huo said as a sword and shield appeared in his hands, looking at a gaunt wolf that had stood up a few meters away. While the main entrance on the first floor was a lobby, it had been taken over by mutated animals, and a hungry wolf was now blocking the closest elevator door to them! At the first encounter, the hungry wolf and Xu Huo both lunged at each other! The wolf leapt into the air while Xu Huo ducked down and swung the Crimson Sword in a half-circle. As the two passed by each other, the wolf was already sliced in half, and Xu Huo had reached the first set of elevator doors. He pried open the metal door, using his shield to block the incoming hammering attacks from the little Man-Eating Flowers, and while retreating, he swung his sword, quickly hacking the Man-Eating Flowers in the elevator to pieces. With the Man-Eating Flowers gone, he entered the elevator shaft and picked up a Man-eating Flower Vine, ascending with the help of piano wire. Midway, he inserted the Crimson Sword into the shaft wall to gain leverage and successfully reached the thirteenth floor. Opening the elevator door, he tied the Man-eating Flower Vine to the metal frame of the glass house and then sent the piano wire down to pick up the people being besieged. Since the piano wire could only carry two people at a time, Jiang Yihua picked up the little girl, and Xu Huo controlled the wire to ascend. Seeing this, Zheng Liang, who was carrying an injured person and facing several mutated animals, hesitated for a moment, loosening the grip on the woman behind him, but just then, countless little Man-Eating Flowers suddenly swarmed into the building from the front. The two mutated animals farther away were instantly ensnared by the vines and then devoured by several blooming flowers! As the little Man-Eating Flowers threatened to drown the hall, Zheng Liang squeezed into the elevator shaft along with the few mutated animals, but it was already too late to close the door. Holding the woman on his back with one hand and clasping a pipe with the other, he climbed towards the second-floor elevator doors. "Zheng Liang!" Xu Huo’s voice came from above. Looking up, Zheng Liang saw a U-shaped thread within reach and quickly grabbed it. However, the crisis was far from over, as the little Man-Eating Flowers that had crushed the mutated animals started climbing up the shaft wall as well, spreading and growing like blood vessels! "These damn things are really flowers!" Zheng Liang shrieked in horror, "Xu Huo, hurry it up!" "Hold onto the vine." The piano wire was reaching its limit; Xu Huo shouted from above. Zheng Liang reacted quickly, swapping hands to grab onto the vine while using his feet to clamp the Sword and take it out with him as he moved up with the the contraction of the vine. Upstairs, Xu Huo and the other two pulled up the two, and as Zheng Liang’s feet touched the floor, the thirteenth floor’s elevator door was also closed, blocking all the Man-Eating Flowers that had followed them into the shaft! But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Xu Huo picked up the Crimson Sword again, "Watch the other elevator doors." Jiang Yihua and Zheng Liang quickly got to their feet and stood on guard. Fortunately, the other elevator doors remained shut. Outside the building, Man-Eating Flowers were violently smashing against the exterior walls, and muffled gnawing sounds could be heard, but the windows on the thirteenth floor were all sealed, so the little Man-Eating Flowers couldn’t squeeze in. Zheng Liang looked at the vines that had almost completely blocked the window and swallowed hard, "The Man-Eating Flower seems to have entered other floors. The people left behind..." Given the situation just now, those who stayed on the floor would either be eaten alive or strangled to death. Jiang Yihua was also frightened but said, "Not necessarily. The Man-Eating Flower attacks indiscriminately. The mutated animals in the building will definitely suffer as well. As long as they hid in the elevator shaft, they would be safe!" "Then after the wave of Man-Eating Flowers retreats, we’ll go look in the elevator shaft," Zheng Liang said. However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the elevator door nearby was slowly pushed open. The three of them turned to look and saw Gu Yu, bloodied all over. When Gu Yu saw them, she was startled at first, but then her eyes lit up, "You’re still alive!" Xu Huo and Zheng Liang went over to help her up, but found that there were quite a few people hanging in the elevator shaft behind her, including Da Zhi and Chen Shu, as well as more than a dozen non-players. "Da Zhi!" Jiang Yihua came over and grabbed her partner, her eyes red. Da Zhi patted her shoulder, "I’ve just got some minor injuries." "What about the others?" Zheng Liang asked Gu Yu, "Aren’t Zhang Biao and Brother Tie with you guys?" Gu Yu’s expression turned cold, "Don’t mention those bastards. If it weren’t for them, it wouldn’t have turned out like this!" It turned out that after they reached the seventh floor, Brother Tie and others had forced ordinary people to go down from the window to check on the sixth floor. Because Da Zhi’s act of smashing the lamp had given them hope, rather than going floor by floor in fear, they preferred to send people to scout or to confirm that it was safe outside the building, and then take advantage of this game loophole to wait safely until the end of the copy. "Loophole?" Zheng Liang said with a mocking tone, "With their looks, they couldn’t possibly be smart enough to find a game loophole." Xu Huo gestured for him not to interrupt and said to Gu Yu, "Continue." "They’re not stupid, of course they wouldn’t go down themselves. That’s why they made others go," Gu Yu said with hatred, "We obviously disagreed. Xiao Ba and Kang Hong started fighting with them. In the chaos, someone accidentally rolled out and fell to their death. We didn’t expect that after someone died, Man-Eating Flowers suddenly broke through the window and dragged away seven or eight people, and the number of Man-Eating Flowers was still increasing!" "We had no choice but to hide in the elevator shaft." "Luckily, there was a fire hose on the seventh floor. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to keep so many people safe. After we jumped down, we didn’t encounter any mutated animals, but two people were bitten to death by Man-Eating Flowers at the bottom of the shaft."

"The others should have also entered the elevator shaft, but whether they had this luck is hard to say." "Damn it!" Jiang Yihua was righteously indignant, "They’ve only been players for a few days and they’ve already lost their humanity!" Gu Yu and Zheng Liang fell silent. A moment later, the elevator doors made noise again. This time, Dai Wenqian and Wei Bin climbed up. Both were severely injured, especially Wei Bin, who was missing a large chunk of flesh from his calf, with the bone exposed. However, the first thing Dai Wenqian said upon arrival was, "Why did you choose the red door?" "Professor Hao is color-blind. He should not be able to distinguish red from green. From his cultivation diary, he seems to be more sensitive to green."
