Chapter 9: Panic

The interior was plunged into total darkness, and even the cell phones became unusable, which indeed caused everyone to feel a high level of panic. No one would believe that this was a natural blackout. But even so, such a sudden change still filled them with fear. "What do we …… we do?" "I, my cell phone also can't open, this …… what should we do?" "Calm …… down ah!" "Who can calm down ah, that old lady will not already come in?" "Ge Qi!" However, just when everyone's mind was in chaos, came Dong Ning's voice: "Don't you have a lighter?" It was only then that everyone remembered this. Ge Qi himself only then thought of this, and hurriedly took out his lighter and struck a flame. When the crowd's line of sight, once again, appeared to be bright, they were then relieved. Fortunately, at least the lighter still worked. At the critical moment, they actually hadn't reacted as fast as a girl. After Ge Qi turned on the lighter, he immediately shone a circle of light at the surroundings. "Phew …… also, fortunately ……" Ge Qi breathed a sigh of relief, inside the room, there is no more "something" to come. Otherwise, Gage would have been shocked. Otherwise, Ge Qi would have been scared out of his wits. Feng Yu at this time is completely out of ideas, and a headless fly in general, looking to Zhao Long, asked: "That …… that, Zhao Long, you, you have any countermeasures? At a time like this, what should we do? Should we stay here, or …… go out?" The records and information of those blood words that he had read in the past, when it came to practice, instead, they were not useful at all. After all, in the bloodletter, the activity pattern of "those things" is actually difficult to speculate. In the less difficult blood characters, "they" are sometimes restricted in their movements, unable to locate the occupants, and are subject to physical actions that are not as fast as they could be. Of course, this is all in the early stages of the bloodletting, and once it reaches the end, if there is still no way to find a way out, then the restrictions will gradually be lifted. However, even if "those things" can not be located, in such a building, want to hide is not an easy thing. This point, there is no doubt. "Yes," Ge Qi, who was holding the lighter, also had a trembling voice, "Zhao Long, you, after all, you have managed to survive two Blood Characters, you must have some ideas, right? We …… how exactly we should do well ah?" Dong Xie looked at these few people in front of him and knew that these people couldn't be counted on at all, saying that they were old residents, but there wasn't much difference at all between them and him, a newcomer resident, and it was even a little bit more unpleasant. The past experience of the Bloodletter had clearly scared them all to death. Dong Xie recognized that if he wanted to survive, obviously, he could only rely on him and Ning. Zhao Long looked at Feng Yu and Ge Qi in front of him who were both completely out of ideas, even coming to ask him about things like whether to go out or not, which made Zhao Long's brain go blank as well. Frankly speaking, he didn't know what the right choice was. If he went out now, would he die a worse death instead? Maybe that old lady was waiting for them right below the building! Just thinking about it made Zhao Long's legs go weak. "You guys think I'm a savior? I'm not a Bodhisattva or Jesus, how do I know what to do?" Zhao Long was honestly also fed up with being in charge, and he had barely survived the last time he had Bloodletter. Originally, his idea was to keep in contact with Mo Yuan all the time, right now within the apartment, the three people who have survived the most number of blood words are Mo Yuan, Qin Ziyuan and Nie Han, all three of these people have successfully executed the blood word four times, but the person within these three who is most willing to help the other tenants, Mo Yuan says the second and no one says the first. However, now that the cell phone was disconnected, it was no longer possible to get in touch with Mo Yuan in this situation! And the last time the blood words …… finally because the whole time will all the information and Mo Yuan contact communication, finally only by Mo Yuan think out the way of life. And without Mo Yuan, this caused Zhao Long to completely fall into despair all of a sudden! He felt that he was definitely not a person with a very high IQ, and the first two times of the blood words, he was completely confused, and did not understand how the so-called life path was deduced at all. And deducing not the life path …… then he only has one way to die! "What do you mean? Zhao Long?" Feng Yu instantly became anxious as well, "Don't you and Mo Yuan live very close to each other? Normally, you guys would often exchange something together, surely Mo Yuan must have told you some Bloodletter survival experience, right? You can't give up at a time like this!" Ge Qi also chimed in, "That's right, we've only survived the Blood Word once, and frankly speaking, the last time I was in the Blood Word, it was only with great difficulty that I escaped back to the apartment, I don't want to die! You, you must have an idea, right? You've performed the most Bloodletters, you're the one who leads our temporary team, you can't be irresponsible! Didn't Spider-Man always say that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility?" "What responsibility, I have a shitload of responsibility! I'm not Spider-Man, I'm just an ordinary person!" Dong Ning watched this scene from the side, already disappointed to the extreme with these three. With this look on their faces, they'd be damned if they could survive. "Listen to me!" Right at this moment, Dong Xie spoke up, "Let's go out first!" Just as the other three were bickering more and more, Dong Xie's words immediately caused them all to turn their eyes towards him. "What are you talking about?" From the very beginning, Feng Yu had been completely ignoring Dong Xie, and this time, he was just borrowing the car he was driving to head to the Blood Character execution site. It wasn't just Feng Yu, Ge Qi was looking at Dong Xie with the same eyes as if he were looking at a fool. To them, Dong Xie was nothing more than a new occupant of the first Bloodletter execution. To put it bluntly, when they looked at Dong Xie, they were completely treating him as a dead man, and had never counted on him at all. "I mean ……," Dong Xie cleared his throat and said, "Such a small room, once 'those things' really appear, it will be very unsafe for us. It's also very unsafe for us. Why don't we go out and explore a bit, even if …… we are attacked, maybe we can find some clues related to the way of life, right?" Actually, it wasn't a very complicated matter. It was just that, in the face of fear, no matter if it was Zhao Long or Feng Yu and the others, they all chose to be ostriches. Knowing that going out might be able to find clues, but the thought of that old lady from before, this figurative terrifying existence made them not dare to take a step at all. "If we go out …… and encounter that old lady, then ……" Feng Yu thought of this, he really didn't dare to go out: "There must be another way right ?" "There is no other way." Dong Xie said decisively, "The way to life is not likely to be delivered directly to us just like that, this kind of thing is not something that can be useful to avoid. I've read the blood letter records of the past …… If the residents don't actively search for the life path hints, they will die because they can't find the life path. We have to explore this building 3, only then can we hope to find the way of life." "You're a new resident, what are you posing in front of me?" Feng Yu vented his own fearful insecurities onto Dong Xie in front of him, "You're a newcomer who hasn't even crossed the Blood Character, and you're worthy of telling us what to do in front of us?"
