Chapter 306: Chapter 305
In the presence of these strange and eerie creatures, everyone's sense of security was hanging by a thread.
And just at such a critical moment, the power went out...
The entire building was instantly plunged into darkness.
Not even a hand could be seen in front of one's face.
Immediately!
Extreme panic spread among the crowd.
"Ah!!"
A scream erupted.
It was from a frightened girl, unable to hold back her terror.
"Have the monsters broken in? Help!"
"Run, run! Everyone, run!"
"Zhou Ming, where are you? I'm so scared..."
Chaos ensued.
Seeing this, the hotel manager quickly shouted, "Everyone, stay calm, don't panic. Quickly take out your phones and use the flashlight function for light."
He had a megaphone in his hand, so his voice reached everyone.
Upon hearing this, the crowd quickly pulled out their phones and turned on their flashlights.
In an instant, hundreds of lights lit up the lobby, illuminating it brightly.
The crowd's emotions also began to stabilize.
The hotel manager breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to the security captain beside him and said, "Captain Wang, go quickly to the main circuit panel and check what's going on!"
The security captain nodded and immediately took two people with him, running towards the power room.
Soon, the security captain returned, his tone somewhat grim: "The main breaker hasn't tripped; the power line is cut!"
The manager's face immediately turned grim.
"What about our generator? Can it be started?"
Typically, a decent hotel would have a backup generator to ensure a pleasant experience for customers in case of a power outage.
The security captain replied, "I've already sent the electrician to start the generator, but our generator isn't very powerful. If we use it for the entire building, it can only last for three hours. I suggest we turn it on, then go upstairs and gather all the guests down to the first through third floors and cut off the power supply to the other floors. This way, we can ensure the power lasts until morning."
The manager thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright! Let's do it!"
They had a good plan.
But unfortunately, things didn't go according to their plan...
A moment later.
The lights in the lobby came back on.
Seeing the light again, everyone in the lobby breathed a small sigh of relief, and the panic subsided somewhat.
However!
At that moment.
"Crash!"
The sound of shattering glass came from the entrance.
Hearing this sound, everyone's faces changed simultaneously.
The next moment.
Thick black fog began to seep through the cracks in the wooden boards, spreading into the lobby.
Soon, the boards were completely engulfed by the black fog.
"Hold the line! Don't retreat!" the manager shouted.
No sooner had he spoken than a piece of wood was suddenly pulled away by something within the fog.
A security guard hiding behind the boards was exposed to the dense fog and quickly began to scream.
"Ah!!"
The guard let out a terrifying, blood-curdling scream.
From behind, people could see blood flowing from the guard's feet into the lobby.
Within a few breaths, the guard collapsed to the ground, his facial features and everything in his abdominal cavity hollowed out.
Horrifying!
Screams erupted again from the crowd.
Seeing the gruesome state of the guard's corpse, many were terrified out of their wits.
Then, driven by intense fear, massive chaos ensued.
Almost everyone was desperately trying to back away, wanting to get as far as possible from the fog at the entrance.
It was worth noting that there were at least a few hundred people in the lobby.
With so many people pushing towards a narrow staircase, chaos was inevitable.
A stampede began!
"Don't push, don't push! Everyone, line up and go! The more you push, the harder it will be to move..."
No matter how loudly the manager shouted, his efforts were in vain.
Those in extreme panic lost all rationality, their only thought being escape, with no room for anything else.
"Crash!"
Suddenly, the glass at the stairwell window shattered from the outside.
A large shadow squeezed into the stairway.
When the shadow stood upright, everyone could finally see it clearly.
It was a creature over two meters tall, resembling a giant bat. Its entire body was bare, with no hair. Its exposed gray skin was covered in many folds. Behind it were wide wings, its eyes were blood-red, and its face had a gaping mouth, occupying most of its face, looking extremely menacing.
A demon!!
"Ah! A ghost!"
The crowd blocked at the stairway screamed and scrambled to retreat.
Unfortunately, they had ignored advice earlier and packed the stairway too densely. Now, retreating was incredibly difficult.
Meanwhile, those in the lobby, facing the encroaching black fog, also tried to push further inside.
In front was the unknown black fog; behind, a terrifying demon!
All possible escape routes were blocked.
There was no way out.
"Roar!"
The vampire-like creature, seeing so many humans, showed no mercy. It let out a roar and immediately lunged at the nearest boy.
Its massive body easily knocked the boy down. Then, it opened its gaping mouth and bit down on the boy's neck.
"…Help me, please, help!"
The boy let out a painful cry for help.
But those around him quickly fled, not daring to get close, let alone rescue him.
"Crash!"
Another similar creature jumped through the window, pouncing on the crowd.
Meanwhile, within the black fog in the lobby, numerous tentacle-like entities appeared, reaching out for people.
Many people's legs were caught by the tentacles and were dragged directly into the fog. They only had time to let out a single scream before falling silent.
Within the black fog, continuous roars could be heard.
Those were the roars of the creatures!
Their voices were filled with pleasure...
"O-Old Chen, are we... are we going to die?"
Jiang Tao, standing beside Chen Ye, stammered, his face pale.
The two were currently right at the elevator door, temporarily out of danger.
Unlike Jiang Tao's panic, Chen Ye remained relatively calm.
However, even Chen Ye was frowning.
The Bay Hotel was located near the city center in AH City, an area with dense traffic and a large population.
For something like this to happen at the Bay Hotel suggested that the surrounding area had already fallen, making the situation extremely dangerous.
What puzzled Chen Ye was where these monsters and black fog had come from.
At the same time, he was also worried about his father.
He didn't know if his father was encountering similar dangers.
Fortunately, there was a Transformer with his father; if worst came to worst, they should be able to escape without much trouble.
While Chen Ye was lost in thought.
A figure suddenly stepped forward, rushing toward the lobby entrance, wielding a jade sword to cut down the life-stealing tentacles.
It was Tang Yuting!!
