Chapter 9 Four Passwords

“Go downstairs!”

Chen Tinglan turned around and saw dense black hair and tentacles stretching out from the laboratory, chasing them in the direction of their escape.

"Turn right ahead and jump down!"

After seeing the direction of the stairs, Chen Tinglan accelerated his speed. Su Li was also not at a disadvantage by his side. Because of strengthening his physique and years of exercise, Su Li's skills are no worse than other men.

Seeing the tentacles mixed with the fishy storm, they broke through the open door by the corridor; Chen Tinglan understood that once they were caught, they would be sucked into mummies like a corpse in the laboratory.

The tentacles were very fast, and in a blink of an eye it appeared less than one meter behind the two. Seeing that it was too late to walk the stairs, Chen Tinglan gritted his teeth and increased his speed.

The moment they were about to reach the corner of the stairs, the two of them had almost no hesitation. They adopted the same escape method: they grabbed the handrail of the stairs with both hands, jumped violently, and jumped down from the fourth floor.

Fortunately, the floor was not high, and Chen Tinglan and Su Li were also more agile than ordinary people. The moment they jumped down, they grabbed the handrails of the three-story corridor, stabilized their bodies and swung back to the stairs.

After landing safely, Chen Tinglan and Su Li clasped on the wall, holding their breath, and did not dare to make any noise.

The disgusting tentacles wandered in the corridor above their heads for a few seconds, and without finding prey, they quickly retracted back to the original laboratory classroom like a tide.

However, the danger had just passed and there was still no time to take a breath. Then, the radio in the corner of the corridor suddenly made a harsh noise.

Chen Tinglan keenly smelled a faint pungent smell; he immediately looked at the exhaust outlet on the ceiling, and then he found that there was a green mist floating in the air over the room: as the radio warned, after the game was ten minutes, the experimental building had already started to inject poison gas into the building!

Chen Tinglan covered his mouth and nose with his elbow. He glanced at Su Li and handed the gas mask to the other party without hesitation.

The latter looked at him in surprise, Chen Tinglan lowered his voice and said, "The poisonous gas has not accumulated to the deadly amount yet. I will try to control my breathing as much as possible. Let's exchange it."

"Thank you." Su Li took the gas mask and immediately put it on his face.

The two were about to go downstairs, but soon, a player's scream came from the corridor on the third floor.

Chen Tinglan carefully touched the wall and looked out, and found a young man holding a gas mask in his hand and snatching the door from the laboratory. He kept looking back and looking behind him, his expression full of fear.

"Don't leave, save me..."

At the door of a laboratory not far from the corridor, there was a middle-aged woman crawling on the ground. She held the door desperately with her hands and cried and asked the man for help. Unfortunately, her calf was tightly entangled by circles of flesh-colored tentacles. The huge strange force was dragging her, pulling the middle-aged woman back into the house bit by bit.

Under the strong desire to survive, the woman bit her lips tightly and kept scratching the ground with her hands. Her nails broke because she used too much force and shed a lot of blood.

She turned around in horror and found that the tentacles had pierced into her calves, like some living insect, and began to constantly suck her flesh and blood. Then, more tentacles stretched out from the ground and rushed straight to her face.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The middle-aged woman shouted in pain, but soon, her tentacles penetrated into her ears and mouth, and then suddenly swelled up, rushing from the ground like a giant python.

Soon, it left the woman who was sucked into a mummy and chased another escaped player.

The player stumbled and ran, and at the same time, Chen Tinglan appeared at the corner of the stairs ahead.

"Hurry, run here! As long as you leave the third floor, it will not chase you!"

Seeing that the player was about ten meters away from him and the tentacles had already chased him less than half a meter behind him, Chen Tinglan knew that he could do nothing now, so he could only remind the other party loudly: "Don't look back, run away!!!"

However, when he heard the movement behind him, under the extreme fear and oppression, the player did not escape with his head stuffy breath as Chen Tinglan said, but could not help but look behind him.

The moment he saw the blood-stained tentacle was about to touch himself, it was precisely because of this fatal glance that his mentality was affected and his speed slowed down.

"No, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

The man shouted, and took out a teleportation talisman prop from his pocket.

"Don't..." After seeing the other party do this, Chen Tinglan subconsciously wanted to speak to stop him, but it was too late.

The other party activated the teleportation talisman, and suddenly shook the tentacles behind him and moved to about one meter in front of him.

But the next second, the man had no time to be happy, and the expression on his face stopped.

I saw that the skin all over his body began to appear like cracked land; amid the other party's painful shouts, the cracks gradually expanded, stretching his body like an expanding balloon, and then "bang" - the man's body turned into countless light particles, dissipating in the air.

As the Witch warned: Once the player uses superpowers or props to cheat, it will be directly erased by the space.

After the man died, the gas mask he was holding in his hand fell to the ground, and was then thrown to the wall beside him by flesh-colored tentacles.

Chen Tinglan clenched his fists and quickly retreated back to the stairwell. After the tentacles disappeared, he walked out carefully and picked up the piece of paper and mobile phone that had fallen to the ground when the player died.

"The password on the third floor has also been found. Let's go down and see what others are doing first."

After collecting the clues, Chen Tinglan walked up to pick up the gas mask, but unfortunately found that during the escape just now, the mask was damaged and could no longer be used normally.

Ten minutes after the return to the mission began, the players in the lobby on the first floor had rapidly reduced from the previous eight to five. In addition to the two players on the third floor, there was also a man responsible for searching the first floor and died.

Everyone took out the clues they found. They found a piece of paper with a password written on the corpses on each floor of the room, and there were four sets of numbers in total. Not only that, each floor of the corpses also wore a gas mask. Apart from the damaged one, there were three masks left.

Chen Tinglan found a few rags in a safe laboratory and distributed them to everyone. After wetting them with water, he covered his mouth and nose.

Since the building was already filled with poisonous gas, the five people had to take turns using masks and carefully control the frequency of their speech and breathing.

“There are four sets of passwords to choose from now.”

The male player who had previously suggested that he be grouped said: "We must hurry up. Even if there is a gas mask, it will not last long when the poisonous gas fills the building."

"Why don't we try it one by one? There is no limit on the number of password attempts in the broadcast."

A female player sitting on the ground leaning against the wall spoke. Her face was pale and her forehead was covered with sweat.

It is worth noting that the other party's calf was pierced with a blood hole and was bleeding constantly. Because of her excessive injury, she had temporarily lost the ability to move.

Seeing someone being injured, Chen Tinglan immediately took out the gauze he carried with him from his pocket and simply treated her wounds. The female player thanked Chen Tinglan with gratitude and then introduced herself. Her name is Ji Sha, who is 25 years old this year and is an accountant.

Taking advantage of this period, two other male players also issued their names. The young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and big facial features, was named Joey Yang, a Taobao anchor; while the other middle-aged man with a slightly fat physique and big chunky body was named Tan Jianzhong, and his profession was a truck driver.

It has been 18 minutes since the game started. Looking at the four pieces of paper on the ground, Tan Jianzhong swallowed, looked at the exhaust ports with poison gas floating above his head, and said to everyone: "I agree with Ji Sha. Anyway, there are only a few passwords. Can't we try them one by one? If you don't hurry up, you will be discharged again soon."

"Don't rush to enter the password first. If you are wrong, maybe there will be other punishment items waiting for us. After all, the game didn't say that there were tentacles in the lab at the beginning, right? So before that, I want to make sure with you, what are the characteristics of the corpse?" Chen Tinglan asked.
