Chapter 142 Become lighter
Chu Tianqiu stood up slowly and stopped looking at the chessboard on the table. Instead, he walked to a dining table and stopped.
There was an exquisite breakfast he prepared for himself.
"Dong dong dong——"
There was a faint knock on the door, and Chu Tianqiu paused in his movements.
"What?" he asked.
"If it were a dead person, wouldn't it be difficult to explain?" said the man outside the door.
"It doesn't matter if everyone here is dead, as long as that smart-aleck Qi Xia is still alive." Chu Tianqiu showed a strange smile, "At this time, he is both smart and arrogant. We must take the most painful..."
"Repent" and give it to him.
"I understand." The man outside the door was silent for a while, and then slowly left.
…
The four of them, Qi Xia, were clinging to the wall and taking deep nervous breaths.
The two ends of the seesaw have entered a very strange stable state.
"We are so lucky..." Yun Yao murmured to herself, "The weight of the two rooms happens to be the same..."
"It's not so much that we're lucky...it's better to say that this is how the "Human Dragon" arranged it." Qi Xia gritted his teeth and said, "It's the best situation to be in a stalemate like this. If we can keep in a stalemate until we find a solution...
…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the room with several people began to slowly descend again.
Qi Xia wanted to "stalemate", but the other party didn't want to "stalemate".
"Since you want to die..." Qi Xia gritted his teeth, "Don't blame me."
"What should we do?" Qiao Jiajin pressed against the wall, with cold sweat streaming down his face, "How can we be lighter than the other party?"
Tiantian looked at the long knife in Qiao Jiajin's hand, swallowed, and said, "Could it be that we need to cut off a hand..."
"Don't be stupid." Qi Xia interrupted Tiantian's thoughts, "No matter which hand you chop off, you can't throw it out in this sealed room. Our weight will always remain the same."
"This..." Tiantian lowered her head silently, her expression a little sad.
"Beautiful girl, your idea is too dangerous." Qiao Jiajin hid the knife behind his back, "I have rejected this idea for you. Think of something else."
Without saying a word, Yunyao came to the small window the size of a tennis ball, took out the "Tao" from her backpack, and then threw it out one by one like throwing coins.
"you……"
Qi Xia was stunned for a moment, but knew that there was no better way at this time. It would be better if the weight could be reduced.
"Let's do it together."
Everyone took out the "Tao" in their pockets. Now is not the time to feel sorry for the "Tao". If it sinks here, this reincarnation will be over.
Qiao Jiajin and Tiantian took out their "deposits" and threw them out.
Qi Xia also took out a few "Tao" stones and threw them out. To be on the safe side, he kept one in his pocket.
It was given to him by Officer Li. Qi Xia used this "Tao" to defeat the Man-Monkey. It was his lucky charm and he hoped it would bring good luck again in this disaster.
But after everyone threw away almost all the "Taos", they found that the location of the room had not changed.
This shows that the other party is also thinking of ways to become lighter.
"It seems that there is a smart person in that team." Qi Xia murmured to himself, "What else can be lost?"
Yunyao bit her lip, slowly picked up her backpack, and reluctantly took out a lipstick from it.
Cosmetics are even rarer in "The End" than in "Tao", and she looks very distressed.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she threw away the lipstick, followed by foundation, concealer, eyeliner, lip gloss...
All kinds of cosmetics fell like a drizzle, pattering down.
Tiantian, who is also a girl, actually felt a little distressed when she saw this scene.
At this time, the four finally felt that the room was slowly rising, and the firelight under their feet was getting further and further away.
"Very good..." Qi Xia leaned against the wall nervously and glanced down from a distance, "Just keep it like this... The weight of one or two pounds is enough to determine the winner."
But less than a minute after they rose, the balance was broken again.
I don’t know what kind of manipulation was done to the other party’s room, but the weight is also constantly decreasing.
Metal pillars connected the two rooms, making a loud creaking sound.
Qi Xia clearly felt that her room was sinking.
Although the two rooms have never met, they are both trying their best to survive.
"We've thrown away the Tao, where's the knife?" Qiao Jiajin looked at the knife in his hand, "This knife weighs two or three kilograms, so just throw it away?"
"No." Qi Xia said, "Qiao Jiajin, now I have a very difficult task for you."
"A difficult task?" Qiao Jia asked vigorously, "What is it?"
"I'm afraid only you can accomplish this task." Qi Xia pointed to the small stool beside him, "Chop it into pieces."
This small low stool has been placed in the room from the beginning, and it must have had its purpose.
Qiao Jiajin understood, picked up the small stool and weighed it. It was made of solid wood and was indeed very heavy.
"In terms of strength, only you can split it into pieces in a short time, but you must be careful not to move too much, otherwise it will be difficult for us to maintain stability."
"I know."
Qiao Jiajin nodded, then took a deep breath, swung the long knife and struck it on the low stool, instantly creating a crack.
I saw that he did not continue to use the knife, but stretched out his fingers to hold the crack, and then broke it hard, the wood grain cracked, and the low stool was divided into two halves.
He shook his hand and chopped at the remaining parts.
Due to the limited area of the dark window, Qiao Jiajin could only cut the low stool into very small pieces before he could dismantle it and throw it out.
So he decisively adopted the same strategy as "Chopping Firewood".
I saw him picking up the legs of a low stool, standing on the ground, and suddenly slashed it from the top, then broke it off with his hand and took out a slender wooden strip.
"You take it and throw it away first!" Qiao Jiajin said.
The three people had a clear division of labor. Qiao Jiajin cut the short stool, Tiantian picked up the wooden stick and handed it to Qi Xia, who then handed it to Yun Yao, who threw it out.
This can ensure that the movement range of the four people is as small as possible.
In just two or three minutes, the four stool legs had been dismantled and thrown out, leaving only one wooden board.
"Strange..." Yun Yao kept looking across the dark window, "Why are we still parallel? What tactics are they using?"
But the next second, she noticed from a distance that pieces of wood seemed to be thrown into the dark window opposite.
"Oops, the other side seems to be splitting stools too..." Yunyao said, "We have to hurry up!"
Qi Xia knew that the other party's behavior was understandable. After all, the room layout of both parties should be the same.
In other words, both sides only have a low stool and a long knife in their rooms.
In this situation, no matter who you are, you will choose to smash the chair.
The sooner they smash the chair, the further away they are from death.
Qiao Jiajin couldn't help but speed up his hand.
It must be said that he used his power very skillfully. Although the movement range was not large, each knife struck accurately along the grain of the wood. The low stool soon fell apart and became a pile of fragments.
Tiantian kept handing wooden sticks to the two of them. Qiao Jiajin felt that it was still a little slow, so he took a lot of small pieces of wood and threw them out from the iron mesh on the floor.
Six minutes had passed and there were only four minutes left on the countdown on the wall. There were no stools in their room at all.
At this moment, the four people's room slowly rose up, obviously lighter than the other party by more than one level.
"Hold on..." Qi Xia asked everyone to gather around him, trying to make the room as light as possible.
