Lin Feng and the man who had turned into a cardboard box, the last survivors, both had racing hearts.
The hunters seemed to grow even crazier as time ran out, firing a few shots at anything they could see. Who knew where they had gotten so many bullets?
Fortunately, just as the system had indicated, the hunters never looked up, even at the end.
If they had, they would certainly have spotted the streetlamp standing on the diving platform, completely out of place among the other objects.
[Game over. The prey win.]
The moment the announcement ended, the two hunters exploded.
The bloody scene made even Lin Feng, who had killed before, feel a little sick.
After the hunters died, Lin Feng turned human again. At the same time, two bottles of nutrient solution, one gold coin, and a hundred kilograms of iron appeared in his elevator.
"Buddy, are we the only two left?"
The young man who had turned into a cardboard box eyed Lin Feng's small, thin frame and spoke with ill intent.
"Yeah, just the two of us."
Lin Feng chambered a round in his pistol and silently watched the young man.
Seeing the gun in Lin Feng's hand, the young man backed away in fear, then tried to return to his own elevator.
"Bye-bye."
"What?"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, the young man turned back in confusion.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and the young man dropped to the ground.
Lin Feng was the final winner.
Only then did he notice that the countdown until the elevator doors closed had only just begun.
I still have plenty of time!
Lin Feng smiled. He had really hit the jackpot this time.
After returning to his elevator, he discovered that the rewards had already appeared inside. Now he only needed another sixty kilograms of wood to upgrade his elevator to level 3.
And those three people's elevators definitely held more resources than that.
In the end, Lin Feng spent over fifty minutes working before finally packing up everything belonging to the other three with the help of his cowhide backpack. Without an incredible item like the cowhide backpack, he probably would not have finished packing even when time ran out.
Lin Feng also picked up the two hunters' shotguns while he was at it. Both were pump-action shotguns, though he did not know their names. There were forty-five shells left, enough to last him a while.
Besides, shotguns were far more powerful than pistols.
After packing everything up, Lin Feng had no time left to explore the floor. The elevator would close in one minute.
Back in the elevator, Lin Feng began tallying the items he had obtained.
Before that, though, he needed to upgrade the elevator first.
After he clicked upgrade, the required resources vanished into thin air.
The elevator then underwent another major transformation. First, its interior expanded to more than twice its previous size.
The water-tank toilet also changed, becoming a wooden toilet. Most importantly, a ventilation fan appeared at the top of the elevator, and the air inside finally felt less hot and stuffy.
Standing inside the elevator, Lin Feng took several deep breaths, his mood improving considerably.
Counting the resources taken from those three people's elevators, Lin Feng was now only twenty kilograms of wood, twenty kilograms of iron, and ten gold coins short of upgrading the elevator to level 4.
"Beep. Host mission completed. Reward issued." "Beep. Upgrade mission issued. Host, please upgrade the elevator to level 4. Reward: Universal Medicine Kit ×2."
"Fuck, it actually needs this many gold coins."
By now, obtaining gold coins through trading was almost impossible. In other words, Lin Feng had no idea how many floors he would have to go through to gather those ten gold coins.
Of course, if he encountered other survivors, that would be another story.
When it came to gathering resources, killing and looting was still faster.
Lin Feng did not feel there was anything wrong with doing this. In this world of elevator survival, didn't the strong prey on the weak?
In truth, overcoming that mental hurdle was simple. You only needed to do it once.
After doing it once, you would feel that it was no big deal.
After laying out the food from those three people's elevators, Lin Feng picked out a can of fruit and a can of beef and began eating.
There had not been much food in their elevators: two cans of beef, one can of fruit, three pieces of dry bread, and six bottles of water in total.
Still, this food was enough for Lin Feng alone.
After eating and exercising for two hours, Lin Feng was just about to sleep when he suddenly felt the urge to use the toilet.
Holy shit! After all these days, do I finally need to take a dump?
Now that the urge had finally come, how could Lin Feng let it slip away?
Without another word, he sat on the toilet and began straining.
Over ten minutes later, feeling light and relieved, Lin Feng closed the toilet lid. The toilet had a good seal, and there was no unpleasant smell in the elevator.
After relieving himself, Lin Feng went to sleep holding the dinosaur egg.
"Beep. The floor the host is about to enter is the Transaction Floor. This is a peaceful floor. The elevator will remain here for five hours. You may trade with others on this floor. If a violent conflict occurs on a peaceful floor, guards will intervene to bring it under control. Please take note, host."
The Transaction Floor?
Trading with other survivors?
Then that seems a little unnecessary. Trading directly through the elevator screen is so convenient, and the traded items can appear in the elevator instantly.
Soon, the elevator announcement sounded.
[Ding-dong! Elevator ascending. Please hold on!]
The elevator began slowly ascending, and this time it stopped after only a few seconds.
Then the elevator doors opened automatically. Previously, Lin Feng had always pressed the button to open them. It seemed this elevator really was quite different.
After tucking his pistol into his waistband, Lin Feng slung a shotgun over his back and tucked his machete into his waistband as well, arming himself as thoroughly as possible.
Although the system called this a peaceful floor protected by floor guards, Lin Feng still trusted the gun in his hand more.
"So lively?"
Lin Feng curiously watched the crowd in their varied clothing. Some wore modern clothes like his, while others wore armor, ancient attire, or medieval European clothing.
He even saw a woman wearing an exoskeleton mech walk past.
This floor... is pretty interesting.
Lin Feng was shocked. Could these all be people from different worlds?
Just then, a vendor called out to Lin Feng. The vendor wore a black robe and looked like someone from the Republican era.
"Young man, that gun on your back looks pretty interesting. Is it for sale?"
"You mean this?"
Lin Feng took down the shotgun and asked.
"Yes, yes. How about two gold coins?"
Seeing that Lin Feng looked like a newcomer, the vendor immediately tried to con him.
Two gold coins? I could get more than two gold coins selling this gun to other survivors.
Does this guy think I'm a complete sucker?
As these thoughts ran through Lin Feng's mind, he was just about to refuse when a woman wearing plate armor tapped him.
"Hello, sir. Could you sell this gun to me? I'll offer five gold coins. You can name your price for the ammunition."
The woman spoke in a pleading tone.
