Ordoño, who was getting more and more uneasy, looked around nervously, "I know it won't be of much use. I just hope you can tell us what to do."
Qiu Yu said slowly, "Leaving here, leaving the limited area of the game, this choice is likely to compensate for the previous way of victory and prevent the earth's civilization from falling into despair. However... it is still based on the principle of balance, we want
I’m afraid it won’t be easy to leave here.”
"It's not easy." Ordoño fired several shots around him. "We rushed out all the way. Apart from some hallucinations, nothing that can attack us has appeared yet?"
Qiu Yu sighed and shook his head, "Not now, doesn't mean there won't be any time soon..."
Qiu Yu suddenly stopped talking, and a fleeting expression of fear appeared on his and Ordoño's faces at the same time.
Ordoño's expression was slightly distorted, "What was it just now? What was it?"
This time, others saw nothing either.
Qiu Yu pressed his temples, "For humans, no matter how scary things can be described in words, there will be a limit. Things that can really make people collapse cannot be expressed in words. Just like the unknown, fear and despair can only come from the unknown.
...Anyway, let’s get out of here first. But before that, I need you to knock me out.”
Qian's body trembled, "Master, what did you say?"
"It is difficult for me to survive the current situation, and I suspect that the other party is using our fear or perception ability as a force to strengthen. This is just a guess, but since this is possible, we must try our best without harming normal interests.
Eliminate it.”
"But……"
Qian Xiao wanted to say something more, but he felt his back sink. Qiu Yu had already leaned on his shoulder. Qiu Yan was retracting the hand that had just knocked Qiu Yu unconscious.
"The summary of what I just said is that the later we leave, the more dangerous it will be, so don't waste time chatting." After Qiu Yan made this conclusion, he walked forward.
Qian Xiao muttered a few words with a bitter face and immediately followed.
Ordoño's eyes wandered back and forth on the others, and finally gritted his teeth, holding the gun tightly and walking in the middle.
At the end of the corridor, there is a security door that is not very strong when opened. Under normal circumstances, there should be stairs going down behind the door.
But based on previous experience, fear always appears when there is a switch between the known and the unknown. This is how Qiu Yu looks out the window, this is how he opens the elevator in the dark, and this is what he does when he enters a room with strange noises.
It's the same situation here.
So when they saw this door, everyone hesitated instinctively. Only Qiu Yan, who seemed to have never been afraid, walked towards the door without hesitation, and then gently pushed the door open.
Then... space or time seemed to be confused. The next moment Qiu Yan opened the door, she had already appeared on the other side of the door.
The door slowly closed back as if someone had pushed it.
"Don't let the door close." Qianxiao shouted when he realized there was a problem.
Jiuwei and Li Ningfeng reacted faster than Qian Xiao. Before Qian Xiao shouted, they rushed towards the door at the same time.
However, the two people who rushed towards the door had a strange illusion, as if their position was getting further and further away from the door. It was only two or three meters away from the door, but at the speed of the two of them, they could reach it in the blink of an eye.
.But when the two people who sprinted with all their strength reached the door, the door, which didn't seem to close very quickly, had been completely closed.
The two looked at each other and pushed towards the security door at the same time.
No resistance was encountered as expected, and no horrific scene was seen. The door was pushed open again so naturally. This huge contrast was like someone trying to lift a huge stone with all his strength, but
After taking action, I discovered that the stone was just like a piece of foam, which gave people an uncomfortable and incongruous feeling.
"The goddess is missing."
Qian Xiao's shout made the two people quickly get rid of the sense of incongruity. Li Ningfeng glanced at the empty corridor in front of him, supported the door with one hand to prevent it from closing again, and then leaned out and looked down.
The stairs below are not completely dark, but there is a faint light. With Li Ningfeng's eyesight, this light is enough to penetrate the small gap between each floor and see clearly the scene more than ten floors away. But in
There is no trace of Qiu Yan in these dozen or so floors.
"I'll go after it and have a look."
Li Ningfeng said, and wanted to jump down, but was caught by Jiuwei, "Together."
Everyone understood the meaning of Kyuubi as soon as they heard it. "Together" means everyone is together. The current weird situation can no longer be dispersed.
Several people walked downstairs at a speed that couldn't be said to be fast, but not too slow either.
On the one hand, this is to save physical strength and cope with various emergencies. On the other hand, it is also to take care of Qingqiu and Qian Xiao who is carrying Qiu Yu on his back.
Ten minutes later, Jiuwei, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and asked, "How many flights of stairs can we go down in one minute?"
Qian Xiao just started to calculate subconsciously in his mind, and Qingqiu was already signing in sign language without stopping, "Eight to nine floors."
"Did anyone notice just now how many floors the building was when we came out?"
Qingqiu said in sign language again, "It says twenty-seventh floor on the corridor."
Li Ningfeng also said, "I just noticed that elevator, and it also showed the twenty-seventh floor."
Qian Xiao's body trembled, "So we have already gone down to dozens of floors underground?"
Kyuubi frowned and looked up and down the corridors, "We never saw any signs indicating floors along the way."
"Damn it." Ordoño raised his hand towards the wall. There was a clear bullet hole left on the wall. "Make a mark and go down and take a look."
After that, Ordoño fired one more shot into the wall every time he went to the next floor. After firing 30 shots in a row on the first floor, Qian Xiao quickly stopped, "The hole in the wall may be repaired by the other party."
, it is also possible that we have indeed been going down. If we continue like this, we will not be able to prove anything."
Ordoño said anxiously, "What should we do?"
"Go in and take a look." Qian Xiao tapped the security door a few meters away with his chin.
Qian Xiao's words made everyone suddenly quiet down. Everyone else had thought of this, but after seeing Qiu Yan's mysterious disappearance, they all became instinctively afraid of opening the door.
"Let's all come together." Li Ningfeng suggested after a moment, then walked to the door and looked back at the others.
When everyone stood crowded at the door, Qian Xiao shouted slogans without worry, "One, two, three..."
When the three words came out, everyone including Qingqiu pushed towards the door at the same time.
When the door was just pushed out a gap, Jiuwei's eyes narrowed and he immediately rolled aside with Qingqiu in his arms.
Qian Xiao and the wooden stake man were suddenly pushed by Li Ningfeng, causing Qiu Yu to roll into a ball.
Ordoño held the door with his feet, lay on the ground and fired continuously into the corridor behind the door. Continuous gunshots and sporadic gunshots rang out.
The continuous gunfire was Ordoño’s 2042 assault rifle. The sporadic gunfire was the attack from the corridor behind the door.
Looking at the sawdust blooming on the door, Qian Xiao shrank back desperately, "Aliens can also use guns! They can't let anyone live."
Suppressed by Ordoño's ferocious firepower, the attack in the corridor stopped almost instantly, and at the same time an urgent cry sounded, "Stop shooting, it's one of our own."
"Our own people?" Qian Xiao glanced into the dark corridor, and then quickly retracted his head, "Our own people are all here, which one are you from?"
"Earth, Earth civilization." The voice in the corridor paused, fearing that the other party would not believe it, and quickly added, "We are on the second floor of the Tower of Civilization, you are on the first floor, right?"
"First throw the gun where I can see it, put your hands on your head, and walk out backwards facing behind."
Ordoño has plenty of experience with this situation. People have an instinctive insecurity about things outside their sight. If you are someone who wants to play tricks, you may be willing to throw away your weapon and put your hands on your head.
orders, but turning your back on the threat is not something you can do easily.
Ordoño has already made up his mind in his heart. If the other party hesitates for a moment or doesn't do what he says, he will kill him first. In the current situation, you can't even trust your eyes, let alone if they pop out suddenly."
"One of our own". Even if the other party is really a participant in the game of the earth's civilization, there is no guarantee that it will not bring other troubles to our side. Anyway, we have decided to choose the way to win is to leave the game restricted area. Kill a few people and extend the game for a few hours.
Game time is nothing compared to the possible threats.
But the other party actually threw the gun out immediately after Ordoño's words came out, and retreated from the room next to the corridor with his back to everyone.
Such a quick response made Ordoño hesitate. After all, killing these people without any excuse would still bring negative consequences to himself even if others could understand that this was to eliminate potential threats.
Judging from his assessment, this was quite detrimental to him in the team. Seeing Qian Xiao holding a flashlight in front of him, Ordoño's eyelids twitched and he finally suppressed the urge to shoot.
As Qian Xiao's flashlight flickered away, three figures in camouflage uniforms appeared in the corridor, "Team travel?"
When the three men in camouflage uniforms retreated to the door and slowly turned around under Ordoño's instructions, Qian Xiao exclaimed again, "It's still a multinational force!"
The three people wearing camouflage uniforms are a white man, a black man, and an Indian with a signature red dot on his forehead.
The white man was about to put down his hand on his head, but when he saw Ordoño's gun was raised, he was so frightened that he quickly put it back down, "Brother, don't do this. I heard from the supervisor that there is nothing wrong with killing your own people."
It’s beneficial.”
Seeing Kyuubi nodding to him, Ordoño slowly put down the gun, but his finger was still on the trigger, ready to be activated at any time.
However, the three people were greatly relieved that the muzzle of the gun could be moved away from their heads.
