Chapter 161
"Who are you people?" As soon as they entered the hotel, several people raised their weapons and surrounded them, a few of them even had guns.
"You could say we're a search party" Chang Xia didn't panic, nor was there a need to panic, he calmly replied: "Someone asked us to find a survivor in Sector 7, to ensure her safety, that's all"
Those people carefully observed Chang Xia and Fang Ze's group for a bit before lowering their guard: "The second floor is our turf, if there's nothing important, please do not approach the second floor, we do not wish for any conflict"
After that, they retreated to the second floor, completely ignoring Fang Ze's group.
"Those two people were probably constables, unfortunately …" Chang Xia didn't say anything about it being unfortunate.
Normally, constables were supposed to maintain order during a disaster, but now that even they had been abandoned by the government, it was already good enough that they could protect their own people.
"Doesn't this hotel look good?" The eight of them went up the stairs to the third floor, everything was neatly arranged, as if someone had been cleaning this hotel even during the disaster.
In the dim hallway, they all held flashlights and carefully observed their surroundings, stepping on the fluffy carpet, keeping an eye out for germs that might suddenly attack them.
Xiao Ba Fu saw a painting hanging on the side of the hallway, carefully knocking it with his dagger, the side of the painting seemed to have loosened, causing a corner of the painting to fall off.
"We've checked everything, there's nothing wrong with it" After reporting the results of their inspection of the third floor and confirming that there were no issues, they chose two adjacent double rooms and arranged for someone to keep watch.
However, no one noticed that the painting that had slid to one side seemed to have been straightened by an invisible hand and then fixed back in place.
At eight or nine o 'clock in the evening, another group of people came to this hotel.
This hotel seemed to have some sort of magical power, as soon as anyone felt tired and wanted to find a place to rest, they would automatically turn their attention to this hotel.
Perhaps it was due to the influence of their lifestyle, they would always stay in a hotel whenever they wanted to rest, or perhaps it was because in a messy environment, a clean and tidy hotel gave them a sense of security.
Everything in the room had been checked to make sure that they were real, not fake germs. There were two double rooms, one for Zhang Zi Jie, Xiao Ba Fu, Traffic Jam, and Zhang Wei, the other for Chang Xia, Fang Ze, Liu Shi, and Seve.
Zhang Zi Jie, who was lying on his bed, seemed to be dreaming of something bad, as he kept tossing and turning in his sleep. The reason why he obtained the [Ground Sinking] Authority was because he had once experienced a similar disaster, and now that he was lying on his bed, he felt the exact same sensation, as if he was about to sink into the ground.
Traffic Jam and Zhang Wei were silently keeping watch for the night. Both of them were extremely tired, having spent the entire afternoon dealing with those mimicry germs.
"I'm going to smoke." Traffic Jam and Zhang Wei exchanged a few words in a low voice, then went to the corridor and lit a cigarette to clear his mind a bit. As he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt nothing beneath his feet, the ground had turned into black mud that enveloped him. A unique frequency appeared, completely restraining Traffic Jam's Disasforce.
The ground slowly returned to normal, the furry carpet was laid down once again. A hand abruptly protruded from the ground, releasing Disasforce to destroy the black substance. However, even more black substance surged towards it, their unique frequency completely suppressed the Disasforce fluctuations. In the end, the hand was pulled back to the ground. Everything returned to silence.
Standing in the middle of the room, Zhang Wei felt something was amiss. Traffic Jam had gone out for a smoke for too long, and just as he was about to wake up the two sleeping people to search for them, he saw the ground trembling. Several pitch-black tentacles had wrapped themselves around them, binding their mouths, noses, hands, and feet to prevent them from making too much noise.
Disasforce surged out and struck the tentacles, but didn't cause much damage. These tentacles also seemed to contain a certain amount of Disasforce material, as the destructive power of Disasforce on them was greatly reduced.
What was even more frightening was that all of their Disasforce fluctuations had been restrained. In the past, Authority Holders like them had all been trained to be extremely sensitive to Disasforce fluctuations, they would immediately wake up from their sleep at the slightest fluctuation.
However, these pitch-black tentacles had a similar effect to Disasforce restraints, capable of concealing Disasforce fluctuations.
This could only be attributed to the upper echelons of the Authority, they had leaked some of their research data to Negri in exchange for benefits. Among them, the Disasforce sensing technology and the Disasforce material forging technology were used by Negri to complete his Spiritual Inception technique.
After that, the Disasforce stabilization technology, which was also the technology to create Disasforce restraints, was something Negri didn't give up on. Concealing his Disasforce fluctuations was a very useful technology.
Zhang Wei struggled as hard as he could in an attempt to make some noise, but to no avail, he was also pulled to the ground and disappeared.
The two beds in the room then began to slowly sink into the ground, bringing the two of them closer and closer to the ground. Several tentacles then slowly approached the two of them, covered their mouths and bodies, and pulled them down to the ground along with the beds.
Only Zhang Zi Jie was able to notice this due to his similar Authority, but it was already too late by the time he woke up, he had already been grabbed by the tentacles and pulled into the ground.
In another room, Fang Ze and Liu Shi were keeping watch for the night. Fang Ze scowled, this silent night was making him feel that something was wrong.
"I'll go next door and check out the situation. You be careful." Fang Ze whispered, then opened the door and walked to the side. The darkness of the corridor did not affect Fang Ze's vision at all. After releasing his [Origin] once, he had gained a comprehensive understanding of everything.
Glancing around the hallway with a strange expression, he felt that something was amiss, so he lightly knocked on the door next door, but after waiting for a while, no one opened the door. Fang Ze's expression changed, he released a large amount of Disasforce and directly blew the door to smithereens, only to see an empty room.
Muttering 'oh no', he hurriedly rushed to his room and blew the door open, but what he saw wasn't a room, but a pitch-black chunk of flesh.
Fang Ze's Disasforce struck the chunk of flesh, but the expected scene of it turning to dust didn't happen. A large chunk of the black chunk of flesh was missing, but it wasn't completely destroyed, instead, it quickly regained its original appearance after wriggling.
The entire hotel began to tremble, the hallway twisted and warped, everything inside became chaotic, countless tentacles reached out from all directions and reached towards Fang Ze.
Fang Ze's Disasforce surged out in a frenzy, the black tentacles were all broken into pieces, giving off blue smoke before being devoured by the black substance. The number of tentacles in the hallway grew smaller and smaller.
