Chapter 127 I'd rather die from exhaustion on the road!
A magnified image of Wei Ning and the thinner male insect was pasted onto the glass door of the balcony, with a mixture of Zhang Bochao and another male insect behind it.
This startled Liu Yan, who had just glanced at him, causing him to cry out in surprise once again.
"Ah!! Lü Cheng! They...they're here! Get up!"
Liu Yan's terrified shouts also fully woke up Lü Cheng, who was not yet fully awake.
When Lü Cheng saw their enlarged faces, he was also horrified. He quickly got up and backed away, nervously looking at the strange face that was mixed with Wei Ning's.
"Quickly, move everything away from the doorway! We can't stay in this room any longer!"
As he spoke, Lü Cheng turned around and began to move the items piled up at the door. He didn't know how Wei Ning had ended up like this, nor did he know how they had gotten here.
But all they could do now was frantically run for their lives; as long as there was even a sliver of hope of survival, they were unwilling to die like this.
Liu Yan also began frantically digging through the items piled up at the door. He didn't want to die here, didn't want to end up like Zhang Bochao and the others, and didn't want to never see his father again.
Fortunately, the main heavy items were piled up on the balcony, while the items near the door were easier to clear and were quickly cleared out, creating space to open the door.
Two male insects, their faces filled with fear and panic, finally emerged from the second room before their eerie companion burst in from behind.
"boom!"
It's unclear whose mixture it was, but it slammed into the door panel they had brought up, making a loud noise and leaving a dent.
"Run...run!!"
Lu Cheng grabbed Liu Yan and hurried away from there, but as they ran, they didn't know where to run.
The doors here are no obstacle to them; it seems that no matter which room they go into, they will be found and forced to flee again until they are exhausted.
"Bang... Bang!!"
The sound of the door being smashed rang out behind them, but the two male insects didn't dare to turn around at all.
"Lü Cheng... Liu Yan, where are you going? Why didn't you wait for us? Lü Cheng..."
Accompanying their pursuit were their eerie shouts.
Hearing the sounds behind him, Liu Yan kept his head down and ran after Lü Cheng, trying to open the door to the room next door so he could catch his breath and hide for a moment.
But the relentless pursuit from behind left them no time to figure out how to open the door, and they were eventually chased back into the hall they had been in before.
The table in the hall was spotless, with only a lit wooden candlestick on it. There was no food or utensils on it, a stark contrast to its appearance during the day.
Next to the lobby is the staircase leading down to the first floor, and further ahead on the other side is the room where they came from.
When Liu Yan ran to the lobby, he felt a tearing pain in his throat, caused by the intense running and difficulty breathing.
Hearing the roaring sounds still echoing behind him, Liu Yan casually tossed the candlestick behind him as he passed the table. He hadn't expected it to block their path, but instead, he heard a painful scream from behind him.
Liu Yan couldn't help but look back, only to see the candlestick he had knocked down rolling on the ground, but the candle inside was still burning.
Wei Ning, who was chasing after them, actually retreated in pain when he touched the candlestick, and dared not go forward.
Lu Cheng also turned around and noticed this, but before he could think of anything, the pursuers who had stopped behind them bypassed the candlesticks on the ground and pounced on them again.
Liu Yan quickly looked around and finally found another identical candlestick on several other tables.
The candlesticks were unevenly distributed, and not every table had one. Liu Yan didn't have time to think about it carefully. After reaching a consensus with Lü Cheng, they each ran to the table where the candlesticks were placed.
Wei Ning and Zhang Bochao, each with their own mixture, split up and chased after them.
Before Zhang Bochao could catch up, Liu Yan had already grabbed the candlestick. Seeing that Zhang was about to get close, Liu Yan instinctively threw the candlestick at him, which hit Zhang's sticky body.
"Ah!!! Liu Yan!!"
Zhang Bochao and another male insect simultaneously roared in agony, calling out Liu Yan's name, their voices filled with resentment.
After throwing it, Liu Yan didn't linger; he quickly ran away and headed back to the table where the candlesticks were.
The situation was the same for Lü Cheng, but the number of tables in the hall was limited, and the number of candlesticks on the tables was even more limited.
They left behind only a few candlesticks, using them to hinder Zhang Bochao and his men's pursuit.
Finally, Lu Cheng threw out the last candlestick in the hall, and they were forced into a dead end on the stairs.
"Run...run away! Liu Yan, Lü Cheng, stay here with us!"
You can't get out, stop struggling.
No one will come to save you, give up.
Join us, stay here like us, and only then will you survive…
Wei Ning stepped aside and approached Zhang Bochao, who was still howling in pain. With a strange expression, he spoke in a somewhat coaxing tone.
"Just like you...turning into monsters?!"
Liu Yan roared in a near-collapse, his forced composure masking a hint of despair.
Wei Ning's words, like a gust of wind, forcefully stirred up the fear that he had been suppressing.
After realizing that the door could no longer stop them, Liu Yan and Lü Cheng never discussed what to do next.
Because both of them were filled with fear, afraid that they would die here, or become monsters like Wei Ning and the others.
But after struggling for so long, they were still trapped here. Apart from the staircase that kept looping back behind them, they had no other way to escape.
"Lu Cheng, I'd rather die from exhaustion on the road than become a monster like them!"
Liu Yan gritted his teeth, said a sentence, and then turned and ran towards the stairs.
Lu Cheng followed closely behind, and a second before Wei Ning stepped forward, he ran towards the stairs with Liu Yan.
Facing the two male insects on the stairs, they failed to see their companions behind them, now transformed into monstrous creatures, their faces contorted with rage, unable to move an inch forward.
When they reached the last step of the stairs, they didn't step on the ground floor of the second floor, but on the lobby of the first floor where they had come in.
At the same time, a cold voice echoed in their minds.
Congratulations, player! You have successfully passed the 'Evening Hotel' survival time test.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, there are currently no survival rewards or player rest areas available.
Currently, only the backpack is available for use, which can store various items obtained by the player upon completing the game...
Liu Yan and Lü Cheng stopped in their tracks, looking around in horror. When they turned around, they found that Zhang Bochao and Wei Ning had already disappeared.
