"Huh? You're saying that the three of you met Qi on the way and your girlfriend Zhao Xiaomei was killed by Qi while escaping? And the same goes for Yao Fujiang?"
At this moment, after listening to Wu Wei's half-truth and half-false narration in front of him, Zhao Ping still didn't have much surprised reaction. Not only was he not surprised, he didn't even show the sadness that he should feel when his teammate died, as if he was dead.
They were not teammates but insignificant cats and dogs. The bespectacled man's reaction was so bland, but...
However, it was precisely the other party's calm reaction that made Wu Wei feel terrified.
Inexplicably, the young president of the company thought of something. He recalled something that Yao Fujiang had said to him and Zhao Xiaomei earlier. The guy wearing glasses in front of him really gave people a different feeling from other senior people.
He Fei, who seems to have a kind temper, is different from Ye Wei, who seems to be generous, and Peng Hu, who seems to have a hot temper, is different from Ye Wei, who seems to be a generous person.
Unlike the arrogant Cheng Ying, and even more different from the straightforward Yao Fujiang, the man named Zhao Ping in front of him gave him a cold feeling that he had never experienced before. Of course, the reason why Wu Wei felt this way was to a large extent.
Affected by Yao Fujiang's initial remarks, it is undeniable that the man with glasses currently standing in front of him does have an indifferent attitude towards the death of his teammate.
This inevitably made Wu Wei, who was somewhat untruthful, even more frustrated and uneasy.
Yes, Wu Wei knew how Zhao Xiaomei and Yao Fujiang died. Not only did he know, but the deaths of these two people were also inseparable from him, and they were all directly or indirectly killed by him. Just his girlfriend Zhao Xiaomei, that's all.
At that time, he would only kick the opponent in order to escape as quickly as possible. As for Yao
Fu Jiang...the young president of the company could not tell the truth no matter what. When asked by the man in glasses, Wu Wei, who was timid but thoughtful, immediately made up a story that could be fake and real.
A half-truth and half-false way of narrating what happened before and after.
As for Zhao Ping, after listening to Wu Wei's narration, he really didn't have any reaction. He just asked a question in a rhetorical tone. Seeing the other party asking again, Wu Wei couldn't help but change his face slightly. Even so, thanks to the darkness of the surrounding environment, he knew that
It was impossible for the other party to notice anything, so Wu Wei rolled his eyes and nodded and replied: "Yes, they were just like this... just like this... ugh... Xiaomei, my Xiaomei... If I could have done it at that time
Looking back, this kind of thing will never happen..."
When Wu Wei said this, he became more and more sad. In the end, he even cried a little while showing pain on his face. He seemed to be a really good man who values love and justice.
Wu Wei was regretful and sad alone there, while Zhao Ping remained silent. In the darkness, you couldn't see the expression on his face or what he was thinking. For a moment, the man with glasses just looked at Wu who was in grief in front of him.
Wei and Wei stood in the dark power room without moving for a long time. It took a long time, until Wu Wei gradually stopped sobbing, and Zhao Ping opened his mouth to Wu Wei after scanning the surrounding environment: "Then now..."
Da da da da.
Unexpectedly, before Zhao Ping could finish speaking, there was a noise. The sound came from outside the door, from directly above the stairs near the door. A series of footsteps came from the stairs from far to near!
In the dark environment, you can clearly feel that the footsteps are a little hasty. It is obvious that if it is possible to remove the locusts, then the person who is currently going downstairs...
At this moment, not to mention that Zhao Ping's heart tightened when he heard the footsteps, but Wu Wei in front of him suddenly changed his face when he heard the footsteps! The footsteps in his ears reminded him of being on the 10th floor not long ago.
The footsteps he heard when he walked into the utility room. Yes, it was those footsteps that attracted him and his daughter.
Friends and Yao Fujiang took the initiative to run out of the hiding place. Then, they were deceived and deceived by the footsteps. Otherwise, their positions would not be exposed and they would not end up like this. Although Zhao Xiaomei and Yao Fujiang died, they
It is undeniable that the culprit of all this comes from that string of footsteps.
Lobsters can disguise their voices to deceive humans!
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. When he heard footsteps for the second time, Wu Wei, who had personally experienced being deceived by snakes, was almost scared to death for the second time. He did not wait for the bespectacled man in front of him to react.
, Wu Wei, who had already subconsciously regarded his footsteps as a deception trap, said to Zhao Ping on the spot: "Don't, don't go out! It's a wolf! It must be a wolf!"
It's a pity that Wu Wei's stop was not adopted by Zhao Ping. Admittedly, Zhao Ping's first reaction when he first heard the footsteps was similar to Wu Wei's. He was also worried that it was a deception trap created by Qi, but the difference with Wu Wei was that
, Compared to Wu Wei, who knew very little about the black shadow beetle, he was well aware of the killing conditions of the shadow beetle and had already trapped the beetle in a matter of seconds.
The possibility of a trap is excluded. It is obvious that although the black shadow slug in this mission is as murderous and cruel as most slugs, it is also somewhat special. The biggest special thing is that the black shadow slug can only exist in the presence of light and shadow.
Killing people in an environment. The environment he is currently in is pitch black, and the power supply equipment behind him has been destroyed. In this case...
So would a black shadow beetle, knowing that it cannot kill people in the dark, still make such a sound to deceive the executioner? What's more, from the clues he obtained, there is no need to look for a shadow beetle that wants to kill people. As long as you have a shadow, then
The Black Shadow Lobster can find and kill you in an instant, which means there is no point in hiding in this supernatural mission.
The main reason why Wu Wei and the other three were deceived by the Black Shadow Bug was that the three of them happened to be in a lightless utility room at that time, and outside the door was a brightly lit corridor. The Black Shadow Bug couldn't kill people in a dark environment, so
Only then would he deliberately make a noise and successfully lure the three of them to leave the utility room voluntarily.
That being said...
There are a lot of descriptions. In fact, all of these are the instant thoughts in the bespectacled man's mind when the footsteps sounded. As I said before, let's not talk about the analytical abilities of senior people. When it comes to caution and control of logic, Zhao Ping is not inferior to anyone.
People don't have a logical brain.
It is impossible to survive until now in the cursed space. As expected, based on this kind of logical thinking, based on the characteristics of the black shadow mantis, and the fact that hiding is meaningless, after thinking about it for a moment, Zhao Ping moved, first pushing away Wu who was shivering in front of him.
Wei, the next moment, Zhao Ping pushed the door open like this...
squeak.
Perhaps it was because the sound of the door opening was also very clear in a quiet environment. As soon as Zhao Ping walked out of the power room, the footsteps approaching from above also stopped instantly. The atmosphere was a bit strange. Zhao Ping, who walked out of the room, stood at the top of the stairs without moving.
, the owner of the footsteps that sounded quite close above seemed to be in a state of pause, and the atmosphere became extremely tense for a moment. However, after a moment of silence, after thinking about it, Zhao Ping took the lead in raising his head and staring at the stairs above, and then said into the darkness
Say a word:
"I am Zhao Ping."
Next, an accident happened. As soon as the man with glasses finished speaking, the footsteps that had stopped started again. As the distance gradually got closer, soon, two familiar figures walked straight down the stairs and came straight to the man with glasses.
.
The corridor is indeed very dark, but for the executors who have been in the dark environment for a long time, everyone has basically adapted to the darkness. After the distance is close to a certain extent, the two sides can see each other clearly for the first time, and the person who walks in front of Zhao Ping
The two figures were none other than Ye Wei and Cheng Ying who had just arrived on the seventh floor.
As soon as they met and confirmed that the person in front of them was Zhao Ping, Ye Wei and Cheng Ying couldn't help but froze. They really didn't expect to meet the long-lost man with glasses here, but there is a saying that between smart people.
Communication between people is often very simple, and some words are also complete
There is no need to say it. Just when Zhao Ping was guessing where the two people who had not seen each other for a long time were going, he looked at the man with glasses up and down. Cheng Ying immediately said: "The lights in the corridors on the middle floors are the same as those in the building just now.
The electricity...are all made by you, right?"
Seeing that Cheng Ying went straight to the key point without any nonsense, Zhao Ping nodded decisively and replied: "Well, I did it..."
After saying that, Zhao Ping paused slightly, and at the same time, a pair of eyes under the lenses looked directly at the steel pipe in Cheng Ying's hand, and then continued: "As for the reason, I don't think you need to explain it, right?"
In fact, this is not the point. For Zhao Ping, who met his teammates here, what he is currently concerned about is neither what the other party was doing before, nor does he intend to ask knowingly what the two notices mean, or even ask He Fei and He Fei.
He had no plans for Peng Hu's whereabouts. Now he only cared about Ye Wei and Cheng Ying's purpose of rushing downstairs.
What is it? So naturally, after answering Cheng Ying's question, he narrowed his eyes and the man with glasses followed closely and asked the two of them his question: "What I did during this period was very simple.
, it’s nothing more than looking for the power room and finally turning off the main power supply. What I really want to know at this moment is what are you two going to do now?”
squeak.
"Ah! Mr. Ye, it turns out, it's you! That's great! That's great!"
At the same time, as three senior people were talking to each other outside the door, they confirmed that the person who came was a human being, and a man with glasses went out to act as a pathfinder for him. Sure enough, Wu Wei, who was originally huddled in the power room, was overjoyed.
Overjoyed, he ran out of the power room. Especially when he saw Ye Wei, the young president of the company, who had been fearful for a long time, was as happy as if he had met a relative. Finally! He finally found Ye Wei.
Wei, with this captain who takes good care of him, at least in Wu Wei's opinion, his safety will be further guaranteed, but... when he arrived at the door, although Wu Wei immediately expressed his joy in words, it was a pity that the people present
But few people paid attention to him. Except for Ye Wei who nodded slightly to him out of consideration for face, Zhao Ping and Cheng Ying on the side didn't even look at him as if he didn't exist.
Let's get back to the subject, let's not talk about how Wu Wei, who was ignored by everyone, was embarrassed. After getting along for a long time, both Ye Wei and Cheng Ying are familiar with the personality and behavior of the man with glasses. It is precisely because they are familiar with each other that they just met.
, seeing that the man with glasses did not ask He Fei and Peng Hu, nor did he mention who Yao Fujiang was, he searched for several people on the way downstairs but to no avail.
Ye Wei had already understood that Zhao Ping had most likely not seen anyone else. In desperation, Ye Wei, who was increasingly worried about the safety of several people, did not mention the matter in one fell swoop. Instead, she was a little concerned about Wu Wei. Obviously,
Leaving aside Yao Fujiang, who is still missing like He Fei and Peng Hu, it is impossible for Ye Wei not to know that Wu Wei has been staying with Zhao Xiaomei, but...
But why is Wu Wei the only one in front of him at this moment? If Wu Wei and Zhao Ping are together by chance, then where is Zhao Xiaomei, who was inseparable from Wu Wei?
To be honest, only Ye Wei cares a little about the above issues. For Zhao Ping, who has always been indifferent, and Cheng Ying, who has never paid attention to newcomers and now only cares about He Fei and Peng Hu's safety, the two of them saw Wu Wei's indifferent reaction.
It can be seen at a glance that the two of them don't care about the newcomer at all.
Of course, even if Ye Wei, as the captain, can take care of everyone in the team, these questions will only flash through her mind. At present, her only and most concerned thing is to test the survival plan as soon as possible, so Zhao Ping's question
As soon as they came out, Ye Wei, who was rushing to the lobby on the first floor with Cheng Ying, would not talk nonsense. In the following time, Ye Wei immediately explained the explanation she had told Cheng Ying before in a long and short story.
Inform Zhao Ping.
………
"What!"
As expected, Cheng Ying's reaction was the same as when he first stepped onto the rooftop. After hearing Ye Wei's blind-spot logic and the survival plan that he didn't know if it could still be implemented, the man with glasses was immediately surprised. For Zhao Ping, although
As early as Hell Train, he, like most veterans, believed that there must be an easy way out of this ordinary-level mission. Even so, he still didn't expect that the way out would be like this...
It's so simple!
Simple, really so simple, so simple that as long as the executor finds this way to survive, the entire mission will not be in danger! However, as Ye Wei just said when describing it, this can be easily accomplished by just moving a sign.
The simple way to survive exists in the blind spots of human thinking, in the hidden corners that any normal person would ignore. This is indeed a trap set for the loopholes in human thinking. If Ye Wei's analysis is correct,
Then wouldn’t these executors become a bunch of stupid pigs seeking their own death?
It was obvious that only this building contained worms, but everyone entered it due to inertial thinking!
Although Ye Wei has thought of this way of survival, the other party also said that although this way of life is very real, it was ignored by everyone at the beginning of the mission due to blind spots in thinking. Now she is executing this way of life as if to make up for it.
Who knows if it will still work?
After all, these people are now in the building. The mission stipulates that anyone who leaves the building will be killed. In this case, Ye Wei and Cheng Ying hurriedly returned to the first floor. This behavior is really a life-threatening behavior. They risk their lives there to succeed or fail.
Each has a half share of the survival plan.
The logic is very simple, that is, if the escape route is still valid, then the person who leaves the building to move the sign will not be killed. However, if the escape route is invalid because all the executors can enter the building, then whoever goes out to move the sign will not be killed.
Who is dead?
However, if this remedial plan is not implemented because of fear of death... Ye Wei's theory that the restriction on larvae will be gradually lifted over time also threatens everyone. I will not mention this matter. After the female captain said this
As soon as he said that, Zhao Ping couldn't help but feel a drum in his heart. Yes, he originally planned to turn off the power to waste time, and then wait until the end of the task in one breath, but in the end...
That's right, the Sombra has lifted restrictions once after the executor checked in. That was the killing restriction. Who knows if the Sombra will have other abilities as the time gets closer to the end of the mission? For example... But in the dark
The ability to kill!
This inference is by no means groundless, but there are traces to follow. After all, the dragons in the past supernatural missions are almost like this. The longer the mission is delayed, the smaller the restrictions on the strength of the dragons will be until they disappear completely. If that is really the case
, if the black shadow worm really will gradually lift all restrictions as time goes by, and once even the darkness cannot block the black shadow worm from killing, doesn't it mean that this worm, which can lock the position of any living person, is enough to lock the position of any living person in a short time?
Kill everyone in an instant?
At that time, the executor who is restricted by the rules and has banned props and has no means of countermeasures... is there any other outcome other than being wiped out by the team?
The truth is like this, and the logic is even more so. So it can be explained that Ye Wei and Cheng Ying would rather risk their lives on the first floor at half the chance of success or failure. Yes, the restriction of up to 90% of the same thing may be gradually lifted.
Compared with this inference, the failure rate of a make-up plan is actually low, with a failure rate of only 50%.
What if the plan succeeds? Once that way of survival is still feasible, the rewards will undoubtedly be huge, which means that the executors can get through the task safely. The only regret is that the success rate is only half.
At this moment, in this silent and dark corridor on the 7th floor, apart from Wu Wei, who was confused and confused, Ye Wei and Cheng Ying both had complicated expressions, and Zhao Ping, who had just listened to each other's explanation of the plan, stood there.
There was no response for a long time. Maybe it was because the atmosphere was too depressing or maybe he thought of something in the silence. Zhao Ping's face changed for a moment.
Turning blue and white, the man's gentle face occasionally twitched slightly. At the same time, seeing the man with glasses not responding for a long time, Ye Wei, who knew Zhao Ping quite well, almost understood something in her heart. There was no nonsense or hesitation.
, after looking at each other with Cheng Ying, he immediately greeted: "Cheng Ying, let's continue going downstairs."
"etc!"
Who would have thought that as soon as Ye Wei finished speaking, before Wu Wei, who had long regarded the female captain as a life-saving straw, tried to follow, and before Cheng Ying took back the look of disdain she had just shown when she looked at the man with glasses, she had just said so.
Zhao Ping, who looked troubled and didn't dare to go to the first floor, suddenly spoke and stopped the three people who were about to leave.
The three people who were stopped turned their attention to the man with glasses out of curiosity. Except for Wu Wei, who was still confused, Ye Wei and Cheng Ying, who knew the man's fear of death, couldn't help but have doubts in their eyes. Yes, as above.
As they said, the two of them knew that the man with glasses was afraid of death.
It is absolutely impossible to follow them to the first floor for adventure, not to mention Zhao Ping's obvious cowering performance just now was also expected by the two. This is why Ye Wei never asked the man with glasses to go downstairs with him when he left just now.
The main reason is just...
Why did this guy who was obviously afraid of death stop them again when they were about to leave?
At this moment, he noticed the gaze of the other party. Somehow, Zhao Ping, who had been cowering in fear before, regained his initial calmness. His eyes slowly swept across Ye Wei, Cheng Ying and Wu Wei. Next, he maintained a calm expression.
Zhao Ping stretched out his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said to several people in a calm tone:
"I'll go to the first floor with you..."
After a pause, and still not waiting for anyone to answer, the man with glasses continued to add in a calm tone:
"And after arriving on the first floor, I will do the work of changing the sign after exiting the building."
