Chapter 4 Beast Corporation
Chapter 4 Beast Corporation
"I……!"
Realizing the trap of the rules, the five of them almost simultaneously uttered a national treasure, and then immediately rushed to the front gate!
At that moment, the entire conference room began to melt! Red, white, and black swirled together in a rainbow of colors, and all matter converged towards the center like a palette of colors.
Fist-sized droplets of turbid liquid fell from the ceiling, rolling to the ground and splitting open in the middle, their blood-soaked pupils rolling and staring intently at the crowd fleeing towards the front door!
Fortunately, Fang Jin's "reminder" was timely, and all five of them successfully caught the last bit of the countdown, jumped over the front door, and escaped. Zhou Tongtong was the fastest, and Lu Chen was the slowest.
The latter chose to escape last, an action that undoubtedly solidified his leadership, but also resulted in him escaping in the most disheveled manner.
"Snapped!"
Almost the instant Lu Chen stepped through the door, a row of blood-soaked giant teeth slammed shut behind him! Had he been a step later, they would have cut him in half.
Meanwhile, those blood-stained eyeballs were still active, and they were about to overflow from the gaps between the teeth. The filthy color made people dizzy and nauseous just by looking at them!
"Quick! Close the front door, don't let her out!"
Upon hearing Lu Chen's order, the Jin brothers, Jin Fugui and Jin Fugui, barely suppressed their fear. With their chubby hands trembling, they grabbed the door frame and pushed it shut with a heavy shove!
During this process, many eyeballs were crushed, and a large amount of corrosive liquid rolled onto the ground, sticking together and sinking in, which sealed the active blood tide behind the door!
Lu Chen then understood why Fang Jin had locked the back door; it wasn't out of spite (or perhaps not), but rather to eliminate any potential risks from the conference room's potential disruption.
If the back door were wide open at this moment, or if they had already left and didn't care about sealing the door, the filth would have filled the corridor, and they would probably have been wiped out right from the start.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a difficult-level dungeon.
At that moment, as the front and back doors of the conference room were closed, all movement inside abruptly ceased. The churning, the gnawing, the rustling of living things—everything fell silent, and the entire corridor became eerily quiet.
But that was enough to put their minds at ease. Lu Chen stood up from the ground, kicked aside the large piles of bloody and grotesque objects, walked up to Fang Jin, and held out his hand, saying:
"My name is Lu Chen. Thank you so much, brother."
"Fang Jin is good at fighting and escaping... and she's also quick-witted than most people."
"...It's clear that it left a deep impression on you."
Fang Jin grasped the other person's hand. The belated self-introduction was not inappropriate in itself, but after the situation just now... the sentence really took on a dramatic quality.
"How do we know... you deliberately locked the only two escape routes, hoping we'd all die inside?!"
Jin Fugui, the younger brother, couldn't help but scold him, saying that he was fat and slow-witted, and that he almost fell behind and became the first person to die in this instance.
"Then why doesn't he just not warn us? Or he could just close the front and back doors, killing us all at the same time, and at the same time ensuring that the abnormality in the conference room won't be leaked in advance."
Lu Chen sternly reprimanded Jin Fugui, saying that he could accept that there were fools in his team, but fools should never jump to the forefront and disrupt everyone's judgment.
"We are a team. The system will not randomly assign six people to a team without reason. In the upcoming events, each person may play a role at a critical moment."
"I volunteered to lead the team, not only because of my own obvious personal reasons, but also because I believed I was capable of leveraging everyone's strengths to increase everyone's survival rate through command and guidance."
After solemnly recounting all this, Lu Chen turned to Fang Jin and continued:
"Brother Fang Jin, you are undoubtedly an important member of the team. I need your abilities to get out of this predicament. Are you willing to come with us and delve deeper into this challenge?"
"..."
"it is good."
Fang Jin replied that although he had no intention of leaving the group alone from the beginning, the fact that they integrated so smoothly was truly beyond his expectations.
After all, even Fang Jin himself felt that he was a bit neurotic. After all, he had been drifting in the empty universe for so long, and compared to teamwork, his personality was more suited to fighting alone.
This is the best start yet. Although there have been some twists and turns, we have successfully overcome the first hurdle. The six members of the team have introduced themselves and are now officially beginning to delve deeper into the dungeon.
Fang Jin paid special attention to Lu Chen, Zhou Tongtong, and Jin Fugui, especially Lu Chen. His handling of all situations was too perfect, and all the unfavorable factors ultimately benefited him.
"They all know how to 'have fun'..."
……
……
The corridor gradually extended, and the light tubes embedded in the ceiling still flickered from time to time, maintaining a rather cold and gloomy atmosphere throughout the company.
The six people moved slowly. The rule that they could not stay still for five minutes might still apply outside the meeting room, but most people were still willing to maintain a slow and steady pace.
As for their location... that was clear enough. At intervals on both sides of the wall, there were layout maps of the company as a whole, with the corresponding points marked with red stars.
The fluorescent map only provides an overview of the first three floors of the building. Above that, the building is torn open by claw-like marks, clearly revealing exposed cables and light arcs.
"Internal affairs... field operations... business management, it really is a company," Fang Jin muttered, briefly noting down the general layout of the building.
They started in an underground location, an empty corridor with no other departments except for that conference room. The only way out was through a fence-like elevator shaft at the end of the corridor.
After ruling out the so-called "door-opening trap," the group carefully opened the rusted fence. They were in a gradually rising, enclosed space, where their breathing was clearly audible.
"..."
In fact, nothing had even started yet. They hadn't even encountered anything unusual after leaving the conference room, but the psychological pressure along the way had already taken a toll on their physical strength, and the challenges of the difficult dungeons were pervasive in every aspect.
Fang Jin didn't care. He calmly felt the vibrations of the sealed box. The boredom he had endured was much longer than this. In fact, the stimulation brought by the terrifying atmosphere allowed him to maintain the excitement in his nerves.
Fang Jin wasn't unafraid of death; on the contrary, after experiencing the previous three tests, he was extremely vigilant about this instance. He couldn't believe that the system would go easy on him in the final step.
Abnormal environments and creatures, as well as survival-type dungeons... It seems that I will indeed encounter bizarre and monstrous creatures that cannot be explained by science in the future, which is unprecedented in previous dungeons.
The high mortality rate is hard to explain, but if Fang Jin can really survive, he will officially come into contact with the outside world and the depths of the system to figure out the secrets that happened to him.
Let's get serious and make good use of this second life.
"Click-clack..."
The furnace of his heart began to roar. He chewed the mint in his mouth into powder. The elevator gradually came to a stop on the first floor. An inappropriate smirk unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
