"You... come in quickly..."

The moment Long Yang finished speaking, he felt the door in front of him tremble slightly, as if something hit the door, but the force was unusually small.

"If I hadn't been stuck behind the door, I might not have noticed it at all."

Longyang was thinking in his heart, but his thoughts were like falling into marshmallows, gradually drifting away.

"I'm so sleepy...is it because I slept for too long..."

Muttering in an inaudible voice, Long Yang felt as if his body had turned into a puddle of mud and was sliding down the door.

"No, I must open the door. Only by opening the door completely can my wife and children be saved."

"You must open it!"

Roaring in his heart, Longyang felt that his arms were gradually accumulating strength, majestic strength!

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise, and the door seemed to disappear directly in front of Long Yang. A large amount of light was suddenly added to the originally dark field of vision, making Long Yang feel in a trance again, and had to close his eyes to resist the sudden brightness.

"What's going on? Is it raining? Why do you feel like the rain is hitting you?"

Long Yang moved forward with his eyes closed, but there was a feeling of liquid splashing everywhere in his body, as if he had walked into a heavy rain.

"Huh? There seems to be someone lying on the ground...is he from the rescue team? Get up quickly!"

After barely adapting to the bright light, Long Yang opened his eyes a crack and caught a glimpse of a person lying on the ground outside the door.

As Long Yang's thoughts flashed through his mind, he felt his "arm" extending rapidly, and with a swish, it wrapped around the figure on the ground and pulled him towards him.

"What's wrong with my hand? Never mind, let's pull the person up first and then talk..."

Long Yang was puzzled, but his head was getting more and more dizzy, as if he would lose consciousness in the next second.

"So sleepy..."

"persist in……"

"Save my wife..."

"My child..."

All kinds of thoughts were like fallen leaves in autumn, scattered in Longyang's chaotic mind, and they all turned into nothingness.

On his deathbed before his consciousness dissipated, Long Yang had only one thought left in his mind.

"Help me!"

…

"Help me!"

With a sticky and slippery smacking sound, a terrifying-looking monster appeared at one end of the suspended corridor.

This creature is roughly human-shaped, with four thick tentacles replacing the original limbs. There are also blue ring-shaped patterns on the tentacles, emitting a faint fluorescence.

As the monster advances, those patterns flash very regularly, looking strange and beautiful, full of fatal temptation.

Where the monster's head should have been, there was a huge octopus head, covered with lumps of different sizes. On both ends of its head, there were two bulb-like eyes. At this time, it was standing in a daze.

Staring at the other end of the suspended corridor.

"Save me..."

Countless tiny tentacles squirmed under the octopus's head and once again uttered a vague human language.

"My old swan, Captain Davy Jones?"

Zhang Ning stared blankly at the octopus monster on the other side, and subconsciously said something incomprehensible.

Ma Long on the side did not stay in place like Zhang Ning, but quickly raised his rifle and aimed at each ugly head.

"Don't come any closer! Otherwise I will fire! Don't come any closer! Otherwise I will fire!"

But the octopus monster at the other end of the suspended corridor seemed not to hear it and continued to move slowly in their direction.

A large amount of mucus continuously secreted from the octopus monster's skin and dripped on the ground, forming a small puddle. The monster's tentacles stepped on the puddle, and sticky slapping sounds continued to be heard.

"Last warning! If you come any closer, I will shoot!"

Ma Long roared loudly, staring at the octopus monster in front of him, his finger was already on the trigger, ready to fire at any time!

This time, the monster seemed to understand Ma Long's words, and actually froze on the spot. After a while, the tentacles on its body began to squirm, and the small tentacles under its head danced wildly, and it made a sound similar to the sound of death.

Only then can one let out a pitiful roar.

"Save... me!"

In an instant, the octopus monster's body was like a wind-up toy, and it pounced towards Ma Long and the others!

"Holy shit!"

Zhang Ning's foul language was accompanied by Ma Long's gunfire, which rang out in the suspended corridor.

Different from Zhang Jike's previous fire suppression, because Ma Long could clearly see the target, the bullets hit the octopus monster's head and heart in a targeted manner.

The octopus monster was shot continuously and staggered back. Its fine tentacles were constantly interrupted by whizzing bullets and scattered on the ground, twisting and turning.

"Retreat quickly, retreat!"

Ma Long fired while shouting at Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Ning, his face filled with nervousness.

As a soldier, Ma Long was not afraid of the tentacled octopus monster in front of him. After all, he had a gun in his hand and excellent military skills. It was more than enough to retreat alone.

But now that Zhang Jike is seriously injured, Zhang Ning and Xu Xiaoxiao are just civilians without military training. Facing the unknown octopus monster, Ma Long is actually fighting alone.

Leave Zhang Jike and run away?

It was not that Ma Long had never thought about it, but his responsibility as a soldier and his daily admonitions made him quickly put this idea behind him. He just kept urging Zhang Ning and Xu Xiaoxiao to retreat, while he was like a nail, firmly attached to his head.

Nailed in place, blocking that terrifying monster.

"Don't... mind me, you, you guys... leave quickly..."

Zhang Jike, who was dragging himself on the ground, spoke weakly. He felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body. There was only a trace of thought left in his body, and nothing else.

"No, Lao Zhang, you can still give me some help, don't give up!"

Zhang Ning dragged Zhang Jike backward with all his strength, talking non-stop.

Xu Xiaoxiao, who had been hiding behind the two men, woke up from a dream under Ma Long's gunfire. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Jike's collar.

"Let me go!"

Xu Xiaoxiao let out a sweet cry, and suddenly exerted force on his waist. He directly pulled Zhang Jike's body up, hugged him in a slightly weird posture, and quickly retreated towards the fire escape behind him.

"Brother Ma, let's retreat too!"

Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao lifting his weight with ease, Zhang Ning immediately stepped forward and wanted to pull Ma Long away together.

At this moment, the octopus monster that had been suppressed by Ma Long suddenly froze, as if dead, and fell heavily to the ground, with a large amount of fluorescent blue liquid pouring out from under him.

"Eh? Did you beat him to death?"

When Ma Long saw this, he was also slightly stunned. Was this terrifying monster really beaten to death by himself?

With such thoughts in mind, Ma Long did not rush forward to check. Instead, he protected Zhang Ning and retreated little by little.

"Leave here first, Lao Zhang is injured, and we are not strong enough to compete."

As he spoke, Ma Long quickly replaced the rifle in his hand with a spare magazine.

"But in horror movies, if you don't do a last-ditch attack, there will often be consequences..."

Zhang Ning said something without thinking, and Ma Long stopped retreating and fired another shot at the corpse on the ground.

The corpse shuddered slightly under the impact of the bullet, then showed no reaction, as if it was really dead.

"Let's leave first. Regardless of whether we are dead or not, with Lao Zhang's current injury, if we encounter another accident, it will be difficult for us to escape unscathed."

"Brother Xiaoma, please retreat and don't plant flags randomly. When you said that, I immediately had a bad feeling..."

Zhang Ning muttered quietly behind Ma Long, but his retreating movement sped up a bit, and after a while he ducked into the firefighting tunnel.

"Xiao Xiao? Sister Xiao Xiao... holy shit!"

From the fire escape, Zhang Ning's foul language came again.

"What's wrong?"

Ma Long immediately turned around and looked into the fire escape, but when he saw the scene in the fire escape, his whole body froze in place.

The originally small but clean fire escape was now covered with dense spider webs, just like an old corridor that had been covered in dust for hundreds of years.

Zhang Jike collapsed on the ground unconscious, his body also covered with thin spider silk.

Xu Xiaoxiao, who was holding Zhang Jike, was wrapped in numerous spider silks and firmly attached to the ceiling. At this time, he was looking at the wall beside him in horror.

On the wall three feet away from Xu Xiaoxiao, a large black spider was lying down. Its abdomen was constantly twitching, and it was spitting silk threads towards its prey.

"Brother Ma, hurry up, give it a shot."

Zhang Ning tiptoed out of the fire escape, tugged at Ma Long behind him, and whispered.

"Just one?"

Facing an unknown creature, it was impossible for Ma Long to shoot rashly. If the creature lived in groups, his gunshots would most likely attract more.

"I just saw one..."

Zhang Ning said with some uncertainty, his eyes turned to Xu Xiaoxiao on the ceiling, and he tightened his grip on the baseball bat in his hand.

The girl was obviously completely restrained and could only rely on blinking her eyes to prove that she was still alive.

Ma Long was not as calm as he looked on the inside at this time. He clearly remembered that when he first went upstairs, the corridor was very clean and normal. How could it happen that after just a short while of confronting the octopus monster, it turned into this ghostly appearance.

"Could it be that the big spider is to blame?"

Aiming the gun at the big spider on the ceiling, Ma Long guessed in his heart.

"Brother Ma, shoot..."

Zhang Ning on the side urged this anxiously, because he saw that the spider silk was almost covering Xu Xiaoxiao's face, completely wrapping her up.

"It'll ricochet!"

Ma Long responded in a low voice. It was not that he was unwilling to shoot, but there were Zhang Jike and Xu Xiaoxiao in the fire escape. If the ricochet hit their vitals, wouldn't it be a good intention to do something bad?

"Then you cover me and I'll go!"

Zhang Ning didn't know where the courage came from. He picked up the stick in his hand, squatted with his legs bent, rushed into the passage in two steps, jumped with all his strength, and hit the big spider directly with the stick.

To Ma Long's surprise, Zhang Ning's seemingly reckless attack hit the big black spider's vital part without any bias.

With a crisp explosion, green slurry splashed in all directions, and the big black spider fell down, lying on its back and twitching its limbs.

"Ding ding ping ping..."

Seeing that his attack was effective, Zhang Ning quickly swung his stick and beat the drowned dog hard. Within a few strokes, the big spider on the ground was beaten to pieces.

"This thing is so weak..."

Zhang Ning straightened up and said very coquettishly, and raised his eyebrows at Xu Xiaoxiao, as if he thought his heroic act of saving the beauty was very handsome.

However, Xu Xiaoxiao's face did not show any relaxed expression. The fear in his eyes became more and more obvious. His body kept twisting and struggling, and finally his mouth was exposed.

"There's a bigger one upstairs!"
