Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Alien Swarm EmergesJiang Yihua didn’t hesitate much before giving food to Da Zhi. Zhang Biao watched him for a few seconds, then encouraged more people to go outside to look for food or useful items. "There’s only one last day left, it’s better not to go outside." Gu Yu said, "We’ve got enough to eat, why invite trouble." "Isn’t the country collecting things brought out from the game now?" Zhang Biao retorted, "All these can be exchanged for potions. Potions are so scarce." Jiang Yihua glanced unconsciously towards the wealthy young lady and the injured woman not far away. Both had heard Zhang Biao’s words, but didn’t even lift their heads. "You can’t get any decent potions with some everyday items." She said, "You’d better take more potted flowers out instead." Zhang Biao waved his hand aggressively and directly, "Even if we take them out, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll survive. Brother Qiao has tried it before." "Who is Brother Qiao?" Jiang Yihua asked unconsciously. "He’s the boss of our Free Players Organization." Zhang Biao said, "He is a Level D player." "No way," Jiang Yihua was surprised, "From what I’ve heard, even the government doesn’t have many Level D players, and most of them were sacrificed in Sea City. Could he be a fake?" "What’s this about real or fake, do you have any proof, or are you just spouting nonsense?" Zhang Biao said discontentedly, "How could you understand the realm of the strong?" Xu Huo looked at Gu Yu, who then said, "I mentioned to you before, he’s a very strong man." "If the country’s Level D players are no match, why not join us?" Zhang Biao said, "Though we can’t offer the treatment the government provides, we won’t force you to risk your lives on adventures." Gu Yu didn’t speak this time. "Have you contacted Shen Xin?" Xu Huo asked her. Shen Xin was the female player they had met in Fenbei Town; her brother had died in Fenbei Town, and at the end of the instance, she had expressed a desire to go to Jing City to seek out Gu Yu. "She’s found a better place to go." Gu Yu shook her head, indicating that there hadn’t been any change. Xu Huo nodded in understanding. After a short rest, everyone began to block the vents in the ceiling again. The roots of the Man-Eating Flower probably had entered the ventilation ducts, so the best approach was to completely seal the vents. This would not only block the poisonous spores but also protect against attacks from the Man-Eating Flower. "Aren’t we leaving in one day? Why bother with this?" Kang Hong said as he dismantled the metal frame along the edge of the glass greenhouse to brace against the vent cover. "We can go to other floors at night." Xu Huo repeated his usual line, just to be safe. Soon, Zhang Biao left with others again, this time with about a dozen of them. No one stopped them. Xu Huo tied the cord of a small fan to the flesh worm and let it down, watching it burrow into the bottom of the elevator shaft. "Should we keep the elevator door open? I’m afraid it might sever the cord." Kang Hong said. "Focus on the present." Xu Huo replied. If nothing unexpected happened by the end of the instance, they could consider what came after then. But the unexpected happened all too soon. As dusk fell, just when everyone was starting to feel that they might get through the instance safely, a scream suddenly came from downstairs, followed by the roar of a ferocious beast, and the sound of disordered footsteps and screams getting closer and closer. Xu Huo and his companions immediately went on guard, then heard the elevator start to move. "At four in the afternoon, the elevator will head to the second floor!" Kang Hong immediately said, "It might bring up aliens!" "It won’t!" Jiang Yihua said, "After coming up from downstairs, the elevator should return to the fifteenth floor, the thirteenth floor is very safe!" "Not necessarily!" Gu Yu said, "The rules on the thirteenth floor are different from the other floors; who knows if there will be other traps!" "What should we do then!" Zheng Liang asked. "What else can we do?" Gu Yu said, "Of course we fight them! It’s unreasonable to have come this far only to die at the hands of a few aliens!" Xu Huo had already stepped forward and pulled down the master switch for the electrical wires! Gu Yu and the others looked on in shock as he did it, and Da Zhi said, "What are you doing? There are more than ten people who haven’t come up yet!" Xu Huo didn’t respond to him but said in a heavy tone, "If you don’t want to die, smash the water-filled containers into it as soon as the elevator doors open. These aren’t the restricted aliens we encountered before, and if we don’t respond immediately, it will be a massacre!" Everyone’s hearts chilled, and they could no longer care about the life and death of Zhang Biao and the others, each stepping forward, gripping what they could, taking up the water they had prepared earlier and aiming at the still-closed elevator doors! By this time, the exposed wires were already having an effect, sparks crackling in the elevator shaft, but the elevator didn’t stop operating and quickly ascended to the thirteenth floor in a very short time! "Ding!" Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The elevator doors opened, and the first to roll out was Zhang Biao, who was bitten on the shoulder. He was half-covered in blood, prying the alien’s mouth open while struggling to seek help from Gu Yu! Gu Yu and Zheng Liang immediately picked up metal bars and stabbed at the eyes of the plump wolf-shaped aberration. After piercing its skull and twisting the bars fiercely, they pulled out, and blood mixed with brain matter flowed out! The wolf-shaped aberration had not yet expired when Zhang Biao kicked it back into the elevator, but before he could get up, another alien sprang out from a different elevator, incredibly fast! "Get out of the way!" Zheng Liang shouted. At that moment, a red beam of light flashed through the air, and the alien was cut in two, its blood and innards spraying everywhere. Xu Huo rushed over, kicked Zhang Biao aside, and smashed the nearby container into the elevator. Once the water spread out and sparks sprouted, the entire elevator plunged rapidly downward! The rest had no time to close the elevator doors because, at the same time, more aliens emerged from the other elevators. All the players immediately scattered to fight against the aliens! These mutated animals were different from those seen on other floors. Compared to the emaciated animals that had starved for who knows how long inside the building, these were noticeably more agile, more vigorous, and even exhibited a new level of mutation! Xu Huo killed a large fox that lunged at him with its mouth split into six segments and turned around to kill another alien entangling Jiang Yihua and Da Zhi. "Go destroy the elevators. There’s no need to save anyone; they can’t leave the instance!" He gave the order and then went to assist Gu Yu. Jiang Yihua and Da Zhi were inclined to rescue people at first, but after seeing aliens more ferocious than any they had encountered before, they could only close their eyes and, for the moment, set aside their conscience, quickly pouring water into the elevators! Actually, among the non-players present, there were those quick to react, brave, and lucky. They happened upon an empty elevator, so they were the first to pour water in and used previously fashioned shovels to break off wall-mounted planters that could spray corrosive poison powder, hurling them at the aliens. Although the effect was minimal, it protected them initially, buying the players time and ensuring their lives were not in vain. Clearly, there were more aliens inside the elevator shaft, and cries of agony could still be heard as the elevator plummeted down. "Close the doors quickly!" Seeing that only one mutated animal was left, Jiang Yihua immediately called out to those around her who still dared to move.
