Chapter 119 5 Dirty
The unlucky guy was already on the verge of collapse, and when he heard Lian Qiao's words, he cried "wow".
Although the unlucky guy did it unintentionally, he accidentally hit the shield stuck in the pipe and did kill two people.If the shield hadn't happened to be smashed down, I'm afraid this plane of death would cut more players.
That's really miserable.After finally surviving the dark forest and the fire scene, he was hacked by the shield left by the pig teammate.Find someone to reason with.
Therefore, even Joe didn't bother to comfort Lonicera, so he let the poor man cry.
The unlucky guy was crying so hard that he obviously didn't dare to touch the shield again.Xu Rendong picked up the shield, wiped the blood on it, and looked around, only to see that the yellow sand was endless, and the desert seemed to be boundless, spreading to the horizon.A round of yellow sun hangs directly above the head, it may be difficult to rely on the sun to distinguish the direction.
Where should we go next?
He was about to ask Lian Qiao what he thought, but he saw Lian Qiao took out a plastic bag from his backpack, squatted down next to the broken corpse, and began to cut the meat with a knife.
Xu Rendong was taken aback, his first reaction was that he was performing an autopsy.But what's so good about it?Isn't the cause of death of these two people very clear?
Soon, he discovered that Lian Qiao was not doing an autopsy—he was dissecting the body.
He cut off a large piece of flesh from the dead man's thigh, stuffed it into a plastic bag, and then turned to gut the other half of the corpse.Xu Rendong narrowed his eyes, roughly guessing his thoughts.
Even so, he still felt that dismembering the body in front of the unlucky guy was a bit...
Sure enough, the unlucky guy was very frightened by Lian Qiao's actions, sniffling his nose and trembling: "You, what are you doing...?"
Even Joe's hands were covered in blood, and he didn't lift his head amidst the broken corpses on the ground: "If I were you, I wouldn't ask such stupid things."
The unlucky guy: "Oh!"
Lian Qiao cut off a piece of meat from the severed thigh and stuffed it into a plastic bag.Then he turned his head and turned to the other half of his body to dig out some unknown internal organs.The unlucky guy turned pale, and unconsciously cast Xu Rendong a begging look.
Xu Rendong thought to himself, what's the use of asking me for help, isn't it obvious that I belong to him?
He didn't bother to talk to the hapless guy, so he walked up to Lian Qiao, took out mineral water, and washed the blood on his hands.
Unlucky guy: "..." It's over, it's over, these two have a clear division of labor, it seems that this is not the first time they have committed a crime!
When Lian Qiao stuffed the collected pieces of meat into the backpack, the unlucky man's legs were already weak, and he was about to cry from fright.
Fear had done a good job of dispelling his guilt, and he had forgotten about the shield.Seeing Lian Qiao throwing a glance at him, the unlucky guy was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot and begged for mercy: "Please don't kill me, I can do anything, I am very obedient! Please let me go!"
Lian Qiao didn't speak, but raised his hand to his lips and made a gesture of zipping it up.
The unlucky guy understood, shut up immediately, and was as quiet as a chicken.
Lian Qiao nodded in satisfaction, turned to Xu Rendong and said, "Did you want to say something just now?"
Xu Rendong pointed at the sun above his head: "Do you know how to tell the direction according to the sunlight?"
Lian Qiao glanced up at the sky, then shook his head: "No way. The sun is too blurry."
Xu Rendong thought for a while: "Then, shall we go in the direction of the extension of the pipeline?"
Lian Qiao: "You can try."
This desert is boundless, no matter which direction you look out from, it seems to be an unchanging scenery.The most feared thing in the desert is getting lost.Not to mention the lack of food and water, the hot sun alone is enough to burn people to death.
The two of them had only been delayed by the pipe for a short while, and their mouths were already parched.If I really want to get out of this desert, I'm afraid I have to shed a layer of skin.
So the two stopped wasting time and immediately set off in the direction of the extension of the pipeline exit.
Neither of them paid any attention to the unlucky guy.The unlucky guy looked at the few remaining corpses in the sand, then at the boundless desert, gritted his teeth, and finally followed.
The desert is scorched by the sun.The three of them trudged through the sand with one foot deep and the other shallow, and it didn't take long for them to sweat profusely.
Xu Rendong's cheeks were flushed from the sun.Lian Qiao handed over a bottle of water, looked back at the footprints when he came, and said, "Our speed is a bit slow. If we walk at this speed, we will definitely die of thirst."
Although Xu Rendong was extremely thirsty, he only drank a small sip of water with extreme restraint: "It's not fast. The faster you walk, the more you consume." Then he returned the mineral water to Lian Qiao.
Lian Qiao didn't answer, but said: "You have another drink."
Xu Rendong said: "We don't have much in stock, so save it."
Lian Qiao smiled and said, "It's okay, let's drink."
Xu Rendong frowned.When Lian Qiao saw his frown, he knew what he was thinking, shook his head and said with a smile: "Do you think I will hold back my drink so that you can drink more?"
Xu Rendong was taken aback for a moment, his ears turned red: "...Isn't it?"
Lian Qiao smiled, took his hand holding the mineral water bottle with both hands, put his lips together, and drank a few gulps.
"Do you believe it now?" Lian Qiao smiled and let go of his hand, "Drink more. Your lips are cracked."
Xu Rendong licked his lips subconsciously, and it really smelled like rust.Looking at Lian Qiao's smiling face, he suddenly understood.
——Lian Qiao must have discovered something.But he didn't say it directly. Could it be that he wanted to see if he had a tacit understanding with him?
So Liandong no longer persisted, but drank a lot of water while sorting out the clues so far in her heart.
Xu Rendong looked around again.Although they had been heading in this direction for half an hour, the surrounding scenery remained unchanged.The pipe connected to the sky has become very distant, the air is scorching hot, so that the distant pipe is blurred, and it looks like a long gray writhing worm.
There is nothing in this desert but this pipe.What did Lian Qiao discover?
Xu Rendong thought back to Lian Qiao's actions a moment ago, and suddenly remembered—by the way, footprints!
Lian Qiao calculated their speed based on their footprints, and concluded that no matter how fast they walked, they would never be able to get out of this desert with the materials in their hands.
But isn't this an absolute dead end?
In the previous two levels, the materials that can be collected are extremely limited.The search madman, such as even Joe, only found such a backpack of supplies, let alone others.In the case of absolute shortage of supplies, no one can get out of this desert.
Therefore, if you want to leave here, you must not rely on patience and perseverance.It is not possible to pass the customs by saving materials.
——There are no ghosts, which means that the difficulty is not in the battle.There are no animals and plants, which means that this level is not a test of their ability to survive in the desert.
Then, the focus of this level, without a doubt, is solving puzzles.
But what exactly is the puzzle?
The only answer Xu Rendong could think of was "the location of the door".
The end of the dark forest is a bronze door, and the end of the fire mall is a brick red door. So what color door will the end of this desert be?
No matter what color it is, it is hidden in the desert and cannot be easily found with the naked eye.What's more, the desert is boundless, even if a large number of people are sent to conduct a blanket search, the probability of finding it is very small.
It seems that there are some key clues that they haven't found yet.
Having been with Lian Qiao for so long, Xu Rendong also began to learn to use gamification thinking to think about problems.All of the above reasoning is completed in a blink of an eye.He screwed on the cap of the mineral water bottle and already had an idea in his mind.
The unlucky guy naturally didn't know what the two big brothers were thinking, and he didn't have the leeway to guess what the big brothers were thinking.He watched helplessly as the two drank water, only feeling that his throat was so dry that it was about to burn.But Lian Qiao didn't allow him to speak, and he couldn't beat the two big men, so he didn't dare to fight.So he had no choice but to desperately lick his chapped lips, trying to win the sympathy of the bosses with his pitiful appearance.
Xu Rendong casually threw the remaining half bottle of water to him, turned to Lian Qiao and said, "I want to go back to the pipes."
Lian Qiao opened his eyes wide in surprise, and a look of astonishment obviously flashed in his eyes.
"You really know what I'm thinking."
Liandong smiled: "Do you still need to ask?"
Lian Qiao rolled his eyes with a smile.There is an unbearable love in the eyes and brows.
The unlucky guy gulped down the water, saw the two big bosses flirting with each other, and ran through ten thousand grass mud horses in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out of his mouth.
Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao wanted to turn back, although the unlucky guy felt strange, but he didn't dare not follow.So the three of them walked in the direction of the pipeline along the footsteps they had left when they came.
"I don't know if any new players have fallen." Lian Qiao said casually.
Xu Rendong suddenly thought of a question, frowned and said, "Speaking of which, how many initial players are there in this dungeon?"
"I don't know. A large number of people died in the dark forest, and a few more died at the scene of the fire... The few who survived were finally split by the shield..." Lian Qiao felt funny as he spoke, and turned his head to glance at the unlucky man At first glance, "It's really tragic."
The unlucky man squished his mouth aggrieved, thinking to himself, big brother, why do you want to CUE me again, I already know I was wrong, what else do you want from me.
"Then..." A gentleman's figure flashed in Xu Rendong's mind, "How many people are walking in front of us?"
Lian Qiao shrugged.
Xu Rendong also sighed.This question has no answer, but it is very disturbing.
It's a pity that the gentleman left the team quickly after entering the fire scene, and he didn't give Xu Rendong a chance to kill him.Liandong knew that this mistake would bring him a major crisis in the future, but there was nothing he could do.
At that time, the fire was too big, oxygen was scarce, and he and Lian Qiao didn't have any weapons and equipment.If you really want to do it, the one who dies will never be a gentleman.
The two chatted casually, and the unlucky guy followed behind like a little tail.The pipeline is getting closer and closer, and the extremely gentle slide buffer zone can already be seen clearly.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the sky.
"click".
Lian Qiao Liandong's heart shuddered, and Qi Qi stopped.The unlucky guy instantly became nervous, and shrank behind the two of them: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"
Lian Qiao grabbed Xu Rendong's arm and said in a low voice: "The sand is not right."
Xu Rendong nodded.He also noticed that the sand under his feet seemed a little looser than before.
Lian Qiao: "Run?"
Xu Rendong: "Run."
The two took a deep breath and started running towards the pipeline.The unlucky guy turned pale with fright, screaming "Why did you run and what happened?", and ran wildly with the boss.
It's a pity that the unlucky guy is not as light as the two big brothers.He sank deep into the sand with each foot, so he ran extremely hard and was quickly left behind by the big guys.
"Woooooooo wait for me!" the hapless man cried and burst into tears.
Even Qiao shouted without looking back: "Why are you crying? If you have the strength to cry, you might as well run!"
The unlucky guy still doesn't understand why he ran—the sand is loose, isn't it easier to sink if he acts rashly at this time?But seeing the bosses running away, he didn't dare not chase them.Anyway, following the footsteps of the bosses, the survival rate is always higher.
At this moment, the voice in the air sounded again.
"Click."
"Click, click."
"Click click click click click..."
The weird sound got louder and faster, like the gears inside the machine turning.The sand under the feet of the three became looser and even began to flow backward like a tide.
At the same time, all three of them felt a strange suction coming from behind.It didn't feel like something was tugging at them, but a kind of... all-round attraction.
The attraction made them run unnaturally, making it difficult to keep their balance.The sand underfoot is also getting slippery and difficult to support.The three of them kept sinking in stature while running, and their speed dropped significantly.
"It's over, it's over, it's over!" cried the wretch! We're sinking!
Liandong didn't even speak to Joe, but desperately resisted the suction force behind him, and ran towards the pipe as much as possible.
The pipe is getting closer and closer.When Xu Rendong raised his head, he was inexplicably surprised.
What's wrong with this pipe...? !
Originally, the upper end of the pipe stretched almost straight into the sky, but at this moment, the entire pipe is slowly falling down, and the angle formed with the ground is getting smaller and smaller!
This pipe is not going to fall from the sky, is it? !
