The last building on earth

Chapter 71 Back to Earth

"With a ten percent increase, I'm afraid there won't be any special feeling even if it's true. Most likely it's still a psychological effect."

Wang Xuan looked up and saw everyone looking at him with envy.

They were all wearing tattered clothes, worse than beggars, but they had helmets and upper body leather armor, which inevitably made them feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Lei quickly counted the crystal scales and said: "Twenty-four in total, here you go."

Then he handed these crystal scales to Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan took it. These crystal scales are very precious. It is safer to keep them by yourself. He said: "With so many crystal scales, we can buy more leather armor and knee pads. Everyone can get several pieces."

As he spoke, he stood up, and everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Zhang Haofei immediately said: "Then let's go find the vending machine quickly. The pants on me are so torn that my butt is exposed."

After he said this, he glanced at Gu Manyao. He originally thought that she would be shy if she was a girl, but she didn't expect that Gu Manyao had no expression on her face and had no reaction to his words.

After experiencing a series of life-and-death fights and almost dying several times, everyone's nerves were a little numb. The shyness no longer existed in her eyes. Nothing was more important than surviving.

Wang Xuan put the crystal scales and parchment on the flesh and put them into the leather armor. Seeing that in addition to weapons, everyone had lost their backpacks and food, he said: "It seems that we need to look for food again."

His physical strength slowly recovered, and a strong sense of hunger and thirst arose in his belly. Seeing that everyone was almost rested, he was ready to leave here in search of food and water.

Hearing what Wang Xuan said, Zhao Lei knew what he meant and immediately said: "If everyone has enough rest, let's leave. Leave this damn place as soon as possible."

Recalling his previous experience, where he almost died, he still had lingering fears for the rest of his life.

Especially when he thought of the hateful look Xu Mengyun looked at him when he was dying, it was like a sharp needle piercing his heart, making him feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

"She resented me for not saving her, but she didn't understand that I couldn't save myself at that time, so how could I save her? If she could strengthen herself and work hard to kill monsters and become stronger, maybe she wouldn't die..."

Zhao Lei thought silently. Fortunately, no one mentioned Xu Mengyun's matter, which made him feel a little better.

Everyone stood up one after another. Gu Manyao was seriously injured. After a period of recovery, although he was not completely healed, he was mostly healed.

Zhang Haofei said: "Do you think we should go to the food city or take a look inside?"

A huge crack opened in the wall at the end of the food city. Now everyone is in this crack. If you walk out of the crack, you can return to the food city. But there is another passage deep in the crack, but no one knows where it leads.

Gu Manyao said: "Go back to the food city and look for food and water."

Wang Xuan looked into the depth of the crack and frowned slightly.

There was some darkness in the depths of the crack, and everyone couldn't see what was at the end. Zhao Lei noticed Wang Xuan's expression and immediately said: "Wang Xuan, is there something in here?" He knew that Wang Xuan's eyesight was better than his, maybe he Can see into the dark depths.

Wang Xuan said slowly: "There seems to be... a staircase."

"Stairs?" Everyone was stunned, and Li Haotian immediately reacted and said hurriedly: "Wang Xuan, you said it's the stairs going upstairs?"

Wang Xuandao: "It's too far away to see clearly, but it looks like..."

Li Haotian looked excited and said, "If there is really a staircase going up, it leads to the first floor."

Zhao Lei was equally excited and said: "Whether it is or not, we will find out after we go and take a look."

Wang Xuan snorted, and suddenly he saw something vaguely like a staircase at the end of the distance. He was also very excited. He had been trapped in this parking lot for several days, fighting continuously, and his spirit was tense every moment. Who is not mentally disturbed? We are all exhausted, and we all want to escape from this damn ghost place as soon as possible.

Now I suddenly see the stairs going up, how can I not be excited.

"Come on, let's all go take a look. I hope we won't be disappointed this time." Zhang Haofei shouted loudly, looking expectantly at the depths of the crack. Unfortunately, his eyesight was not as good as Wang Xuan's, and he could only see a dark place there. Nothing can be seen.

Tie Jun said slowly: "I think it's better for everyone not to expect too much. It's better to keep a normal attitude. This way at least you won't be too desperate."

Of the nine people who entered Longmao Square with him, he was the only one left dead now. He always had a feeling in his heart that they could not get out and everyone might die here.

Even if you do see the stairs going up, I'm afraid it's not an exit, but a dead end.

Zhao Lei said: "Brother Tie, don't be too negative. I think we are trapped here and can become stronger by killing monsters. There are rules to follow. There must be a reason and there must be a way. If you just want us to die here, then if you make those monsters stronger at the beginning, then we will all be wiped out, and we won’t be able to get here alive.”

Gu Manyao said: "Yes, what you said makes sense. I have always believed that there is a way to survive. It just depends on whether we can find this way to survive."

Wang Xuan's eyes glowed, staring into the depths of the crack, and said slowly: "I hope this staircase... is the way to survive."

After saying that, he walked forward first, followed by Zhao Lei, Gu Manyao, and Zhang Haofei.

Although Wang Xuan expressed optimism when he spoke just now, in fact, Wang Xuan was more alert than ever. Even the metal tentacles appeared faintly on the back of his hands, ready to deal with unexpected changes at any time.

Gu Manyao immediately showed the demon chi knife in his hand.

Everyone did not walk very fast, and carefully observed the surrounding situation every step they took.

As he went deeper, Wang Xuan quickly saw clearly that at the end of the crack in the wall, there was indeed a staircase.

Gu Manyao, Zhang Haofei and Zhao Lei also saw the stairs, and everyone could not hide their excitement on their faces.

Regardless of whether this staircase leads to the first floor or not, or whether it is an escape route, at least there is hope.

Finally, everyone reached the end of the crack in the wall and looked at the stairs that appeared in front of them.

As the stairs go up, they look no different from ordinary shopping mall stairs. They look wide and clean.

Everyone was silently looking at the stairs in front of them, and did not go up rashly. As they got closer to the exit, they saw hope right in front of them, but they became afraid.

If you go up one level and still fail to get out, then it is not a simple disappointment, but a true despair.

When I was in the underground parking lot, there was still hope, that is, if I could go up from the parking lot to the ground floor, I would be able to get out.

It is with this belief and hope that everyone can support themselves until now, and now, the stairs leading to the ground floor are right in front of them.

It was finally time to reveal the results, but everyone hesitated.

Zhang Haofei looked at everyone and said, "Why are you hesitating? Come on?"

Gu Manyao suddenly sighed and said: "I'm afraid that when I go up... I'll encounter more terrifying monsters. If that's the case, it's better to stay on the negative floor."

In fact, most of the people had the same idea as her. They had experienced a series of previous encounters. Although they were excited when they saw the stairs going up, there was a vague premonition deep in their hearts that it would be difficult for them to leave this terrifying place so easily.

If the upper level is really a monster with no exit in sight, I can't imagine how desperate it would be.

Zhao Lei heard what Gu Manyao said and sighed: "If there are monsters on the upper level, based on previous encounters, these monsters must be more terrifying than those on the negative level."

When he said this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Our current mentality is a bit like the shyness of the countryside. I have been thinking about finding the stairs to go out, but when I actually saw the stairs, I was a little afraid to go up. Have you ever thought about what would happen if There's no exit above, we'll never get out, what should we do?"

Zhao Lei's words silenced everyone. Fear arose in their hearts. Zhang Haofei became restless and said loudly: "Then shall we go up or not? Wang Xuan, what do you think?"

He knew that the real decision-maker among everyone was Wang Xuan, and Zhao Lei's words were no different from farts.

Zhao Lei said: "Of course I have to go up. I won't be reconciled if I don't go up. I've seen the stairs and still can't go up? What if it's really the exit? I just sighed."

Anger welled up on Zhang Haofei's face, and he had an impulse in his heart. He wanted to punch him in the face. He thought that since he was going to fight, and he was still talking nonsense to affect his mood, if it weren't for Wang Xuan's presence, he would have done it long ago. Beat up Zhao Lei.

Wang Xuan pondered on his face and said, "Zhao Lei, your ancestor has special abilities. Can he sense what is on the stairs?"

Zhao Lei shook his head and said: "How can the ancient saint have such an ability? Moreover, this thing seems to work sometimes and not work. It's like a sixth sense. It's quite mysterious. I just sensed it quietly without any reaction."

Hearing what Zhao Lei said, Wang Xuan grunted and said, "Then let's go up and take a look. No matter whether it is an exit or there is a greater danger, we have to take a look before we are willing to accept it. Besides, what if it really is an exit?"

After saying that, he climbed up the stairs in front of him without hesitation and walked up.

With Wang Xuan taking the lead, the other five people immediately followed, and soon they finished the staircase in front of them, then turned the corner and saw the second staircase.

Wang Xuan looked up and saw that the second staircase led to a door.

If everything here is normal, this second staircase leads to the first-floor shopping mall entering Longmao Plaza.

The metal tentacle on Wang Xuan's right hand circled slightly around his right hand. He stepped forward and reached the door at the end of the stairs.

The two doors were tightly closed, and the surroundings seemed very dark. He stopped and did not approach the door immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath. He had countless possibilities and conjectures in his mind, and even prepared to be attacked as soon as he opened the door. Preparing for a terrifying monster attack, the metal tentacle on his right hand stretched out and placed it on the door, preparing to push it open.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the two doors silently retracted into the walls on both sides and opened automatically.

A white light lit up.

Wang Xuan was stunned.

Gu Manyao, Zhao Lei, Zhang Haofei, Tie Jun and Li Haotian stood closely beside and behind him, bathing in the soft light shining from the door and looking at everything inside.

There were no monsters attacking them inside the door, nor was it the shopping mall on the first floor of Longmao Plaza they imagined. Of course, it was certainly not the endless parking lot and rows of parked vehicles.

Inside the door is an empty hall, with a large number of lights above the hall, emitting white light, illuminating the hall as bright as day.

This hall is astonishingly large. As far as the eye can see, the length and width are more than 100 meters, which is much larger than a standard football field.

The most eye-catching thing is a transparent glass column standing in the center of the hall. There is a sightseeing elevator parked inside. Taking this elevator, you can see the surrounding scenery.

Standing outside the door, they could also see a door on the other three white walls. Plus the door in front of them now meant that there was a door on each of the four walls of the hall.

Other than that, the hall was completely empty, with no one in sight, and it seemed extremely quiet.

Everyone did not rush in, but paused for a full minute, looking at each other. Finally, Wang Xuan was the first to step forward, pass through the door, and walk in.

As he walked in, Zhao Lei, Gu Manyao, and Zhang Haofei followed him in one after another.

The six people walked into the hall, and the door behind them closed again silently.

Everyone was attracted by the hall in front of them, and they were observing with wide eyes. For a moment, they failed to notice that the door behind them had been closed.

"Who can tell me, where is this place?" Zhang Haofei murmured as he looked at the huge and empty hall in front of him.

Wang Xuan was observing the surroundings. He turned around and noticed that the two doors behind them were closed. Only then did he see the writing on the two doors. The left door said "Underground" and the right door said " "World", taken together, are the four words "Underworld".

Seeing Wang Xuan looking at the door behind, others turned to look.

"Underground world? What the hell is this?" Zhang Haofei shouted.

Zhao Lei said: "It probably refers to the three-story underground parking lot, but calling it the underground world is a bit exaggerated."

Wang Xuan said in a deep voice: "It's not necessarily an exaggeration. Maybe it's not just the three-story parking lot we imagined."

Hearing what Wang Xuan said, Zhao Lei nodded and said: "It seems to make sense. We have encountered so many weird things and monsters along the way. It is indeed not a simple three-story underground parking lot."

Gu Manyao said: "Look, there seems to be writing on the other doors."

"No, there are lights here, which means there is electricity. Do you think the elevator in the middle can be used?" Li Haotian suddenly spoke.

Wang Xuan hummed and said, "You'll know if you go over and take a look."

As he spoke, he walked towards the sightseeing elevator in the middle.

The others followed closely, feeling a little excited.

Although this place is ridiculously big, it looks much better than the previous eerie underground blackout field. There are lights here, the ground is clean, there is no trace of blood, and it doesn't look like there is a monster infested.
