Chapter 53 Chase

"Jim, what are you muttering to yourself over there?"

At this moment, the three women who had been prepared also entered the room.

At this moment, Shana found a baseball bat from somewhere, but judging from the stickers on it, it was clearly more decorative than practical.

Compared to him, the other two's equipment looked much more lethal.

As the only one in the group who knew how to use a bow and arrow, Natasha naturally carried both the bow and arrow and the quiver on her back.

Combined with her smooth muscle lines and tall figure, she looks quite like a female warrior.

Ang Lee, on the other hand, removed a mop handle and taped a fruit knife to one end to make a simple spear.

The three of them were ready when they realized that Jill, who had gone to call for help, had not yet returned, so they all went to the bedroom.

The three then saw the horrific scene in the room, and the timid Shana couldn't help but cover her mouth and gasp in shock.

"Is little Carl dead?"

As she spoke, her voice choked with emotion, and her eyes immediately reddened.

But just as everyone's hearts were sinking with those words, Ang Lee suddenly interrupted them.

"Judging from the amount of bleeding, it's not fatal yet. If we can find the monster quickly, we might still make it in time."

Hearing her words, everyone else felt a greater sense of urgency.

Natasha gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go! Kill that damned beast!"

As the oldest member of the five-person team, Natasha has always played the role of leader or elder.

Karl was an exceptionally obedient yet mischievous child, and he had always had a good relationship with Natasha.

"Calm down, Natasha. We at least need to know where that monster is right now."

As he spoke, he patted the other person on the shoulder, raised the spear in his hand, bent down, and tiptoed to the hole in the window.

I glanced down cautiously.

They were staying on the 8th floor of the hotel, and from this window, they could see the balconies of several floors below.

Li An squinted and looked around for a while, and soon noticed that there was also a hole in the railing of the balcony on the 4th floor.

If the monster didn't just kidnap Karl and run away, then it must have entered the room through the hole in the balcony.

After confirming the possible location, he stood up straight, grabbed his spear, and ran out the door.

"Hurry up, everyone. If that monster isn't too fast, it should still be on the 4th floor. Let's take the elevator directly to the 1st floor and we shouldn't run into it."

"Quick! Run, Jim, there's no time to dawdle now."

As Ang Lee brushed past him, he gave Jim a hard shove, instantly snapping Jim out of his daze.

Seeing everyone else running outside, I gritted my teeth and followed.

Led by Ang Lee and Natasha, the group rushed out of the room and into the corridor.

Then, at the signal of the two, everyone slowed their pace and rushed toward the elevator as quietly as possible.

While waiting for the elevator, the group was extremely tense, constantly scanning the corridors that led back and forth.

They were terrified that a giant monster might suddenly charge at them.

But fortunately, there was no danger.

The elevator finally stopped on the 8th floor with a "ding," and as the elevator doors opened, everyone filed in.

Ang Lee nervously pressed the close button frantically, then pressed the button for the first floor.

As the elevator doors closed and the humming sound of the elevator continued, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

Shana even leaned against the elevator wall, looking completely exhausted.

The elevators in this hotel are very fast.

The elevator slowly descended, quickly approaching the first floor. "Ding!"

The elevator beeped, and just as the doors were about to open, everyone felt the elevator car suddenly jolt.

Then, with a series of metallic creaking sounds, the elevator door opened a crack enough for a person to pass through, but then got stuck.

This sudden change startled everyone, but then they found that nothing had happened.

Natasha, who was closest to the gap, boldly peeked out to investigate.

He quickly found the cause of the elevator malfunction.

The elevator doors on the first floor had disappeared, and two twisted pieces of sheet metal lay horizontally not far away.

The elevator malfunction was caused by some residual metal debris, which twisted and deformed, causing it to jam the elevator shaft.

Looking at the claw marks covering the metal sheet in the distance, everyone guessed that it was the work of that mysterious monster.

"But why would it dismantle the elevator door for no reason?"

Shana, gripping the baseball bat with both hands and keeping her body low, timidly followed the others out of the elevator. As they passed the damaged elevator door, she said with some curiosity.

Upon hearing the question, Jim, who was walking at the end of the group with him, also turned around and looked back.

Then he lowered his voice and said it in a slightly teasing tone.

"Maybe that monster wasn't very bright at first; it probably wanted to climb up the elevator."

Hearing his words, Shana ignored him, rolled her eyes, and quickened her pace to catch up with the group.

As they moved forward, the group exited the elevator area and arrived at a long corridor.

Fortunately, the elevator is not far from the front desk; just walk down a corridor and turn a corner.

The guard room that everyone was looking for was right next to the front desk.

The group walked carefully down the empty corridor, the exquisitely woven carpet beneath their feet making their footsteps barely noticeable.

Just as they were about to leave the corridor, Natasha, who was at the front of the group, suddenly raised her hand and made a classic tactical stop gesture.

Then I saw her frowning and tilting her head to listen to something.

Just as Ang Lee was about to ask if something was wrong, she heard it too.

The sounds were a series of thumping sounds, like the beating of drums, and seemed very empty and distant.

However, if you listen closely, you can tell that the sound is gradually getting louder.

In less than ten seconds, the sound was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

"What is this sound?"

Shana seemed a little scared, and also a little confused.

However, Natasha did not answer at this moment, but suddenly turned her head to look in the direction she came from.

Then, as if suddenly realizing something, his pupils dilated instantly, and he shouted.

"Run! Get to the guardhouse! That monster came down the elevator shaft!"

Upon hearing his shout, everyone was stunned for a moment. After understanding what he said, they stopped trying to hide their footsteps and started running like crazy.

The moment they left, the elevator car, which was wide open due to being stuck, suddenly shook.

The entire top caved in suddenly, instantly crushing the hanging lights.

Then, amidst a flash of lights and sparks, the metal was torn apart with a mournful cry.

Then a dark figure that almost filled the elevator emerged.

In the flashing lights, a dark figure stretched out its limbs and stepped out of the elevator.

A tall, hairy monster opened its crimson maw.

"Ow!!!"
