Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge had two purposes in going to the city today. First, Shao Qingge was afraid of power outages and Internet disconnections, so he needed to go online as soon as possible to complete the short stock operation; secondly, Yu Hanjiang wanted to find the insider lurking among the Challengers to steal supplies.
ghost.
The owner of Shanshui B&B said that Xu Zhengyang had already checked out and left, but for the sake of safety, Yu Hanjiang still placed a bug on the owner's body, and the other two were placed in the corner of the second floor of Shanshui B&B, as well as Shao Qing's
In the corridor of the hotel where Ge was staying.
After leaving the B&B, the two found a quiet place and listened carefully to the sounds coming from the bugging device.
About half an hour later, a soft female voice sounded from the bug at Shanshui B&B: "Boss, we have no cash. Can we use milk and instant noodles to pay for the room in advance?"
The boss smiled and said, "Okay! I want four boxes of milk and four boxes of instant noodles."
The girl said: "Can we discuss it again? We don't have much left to eat... Can three boxes be okay?"
The boss said: "The price doubles every day. Yesterday it was two boxes, today it is four boxes. I calculated correctly!"
The girl discussed with her friends: "We don't have that many supplies, why not live out?"
Another person said: "Okay. I don't think it's worthwhile to exchange four boxes of milk and four boxes of instant noodles for one night's accommodation."
The two finally made a decision: "Then let's check out. If the house price continues to rise, maybe the boss will ask us for eight boxes of milk tomorrow."
The boss smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to check out. You two little girls are very pitiful. How unsafe is it to sleep on the street? Just do what you said, three boxes. If you are willing, you can also pay more at one time."
Day’s room charge.”
The two girls didn't expect the boss's attitude to soften, so they immediately agreed: "Then let's use six boxes of milk and instant noodles to pay for two days of room payment in advance."
Not long after, two more male challengers came to the front desk to talk to the boss about using supplies to advance the room fee. The result was the same as before. The boss initially asked for four boxes of milk and four boxes of instant noodles to cover the day's accommodation fee. The two were not happy. The boss
I gave them a discounted price with a smile.
At the Shanshui B&B, only two challengers insisted on checking out, while the others exchanged supplies for accommodation fees and stayed.
The hotel where Shao Qingge stayed was completely different. Several groups of challengers went to the front desk to use materials to advance accommodation fees, but the hotel front desk ignored them. Moreover, the receptionist girl said indifferently: "We can hardly afford to pay our wages.
I don’t know if this hotel can continue to open. You guys can’t live in it!”
Several challengers had no choice but to check out and leave.
Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly: "Something's not right."
Shao Qingge thought about it carefully and said: "I remember that Ye Qi and his group of challengers left the B&B collectively on the third day because a large amount of supplies were stolen the second night. Under the leadership of a lawyer, everyone went
We arrived at the construction site, gathered all the supplies, distributed them, and survived together. If some idiot hadn't lit a fire and cooked noodles in the middle of the night to attract the team of prisoners, they should have been able to pass the level, right?"
Yu Hanjiang doesn't think so: "I think even if no one lights the fire, it will be difficult for them to pass the level collectively."
Shao Qingge was a little surprised: "Captain Yu is saying that there are holes dug for us by the gatekeepers behind?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded and analyzed carefully: "First of all, the reason why Ye Qi and the others left the B&B was that 80% of all the challengers' supplies were stolen the next night, and there was not much left for everyone to eat. Gather them all, you
There is milk, I have bread, and he has chocolate. Distribute according to needs. Only with more people and strength can we have a chance to survive together."
Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes slightly: "However, the materials of the challengers of Shanshui B&B today were not stolen."
Yu Hanjiang said: "Because Professor Xiao and I took action, we forced the mole away last night when he came to steal things. In order to escape, he killed his temporary teammates and did not have time to steal the supplies of the other challengers at Shanshui B&B."
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were too vigilant. After realizing the presence of the thief, they deliberately lured the snake out of the hole and forced the thief away, changing the original plot of the 3 Spades Room. As long as the supplies were not stolen, the challengers still had enough to eat.
Of course, there is no need to check out for seven days of food storage.
In addition, the owner of Shanshui B&B is very talkative. If the price is doubled, the room fee for the third day should have been 4 boxes of milk and instant noodles. He gave everyone a discount and only gave 3 boxes, leaving most of the money.
Challenger.
Shao Qingge reacted immediately: "Is there something wrong with the B&B owner?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded solemnly: "Two possibilities. First, the B&B owner is very smart and knows that when the financial crisis breaks out, few locals will come to stay at his place. The house will be empty and he will not make a penny.
If we arrive, it’s better to keep these ‘foreigners’ here and exchange supplies for room fees, and we can make a little bit of money.”
He paused slightly and then said: "The second possibility is that he deliberately used a preferential price to retain the challenger."
Shao Qingge frowned: "You mean, because Xu Zhengyang failed to steal last night and the challengers' supplies were still there, he deliberately left everyone behind, just so that Xu Zhengyang could continue to steal things - the boss and that
The person named Xu is an accomplice?!"
The three-hour working time of the bug has expired. Yu Hanjiang put away the bug and said coldly: "Otherwise, how could Xu Zhengyang be able to come and go freely in Shanshui B&B and clearly grasp the material information of all challengers?"
Thinking of the hotel owner's warm greeting to the guests and his smile when he helped them check Xu Zhengyang's information just now, Shao Qingge felt a hair crawling down his spine: "Isn't the Secret Room of Spades too deceptive? This is deliberately leading all challengers into the wolf's den.
?”
Yu Hanjiang said with an ugly face: "When challengers come here, they will subconsciously look for the cheapest accommodation, but they don't know that this is actually a black shop - the boss and the free man work together to commit crimes, master all the information about 'outsiders', and steal
Taking supplies from 'outsiders' and making huge profits from the financial crisis!"
In fact, the 3 of Spades Secret Room determined from the very beginning that challengers would have a difficult time.
If you look for an expensive place to live, you won’t be able to pay the rent; if you look for the cheapest place to live, the trap has already been dug here.
When checking in, the boss will immediately identify you as a "foreigner"; when the challengers are carrying supplies from the supermarket, the boss standing at the front desk will naturally know exactly how many things everyone has brought back.
Xu Zhengyang only needs to live in the Shanshui B&B as a challenger. Using the two cards of invisibility cloak and master/key, he can steal the challenger's supplies at any time without anyone noticing and put them back in his room.
Shao Qingge was a little confused: "According to Captain Yu, the invisibility cloak and the universal/key are all rewards for clearing the 3 Hearts secret room. This Xu Zhengyang is a free man, how come he has so many cards?"
Yu Hanjiang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility: "He wants to pretend to be a challenger. There is a way - kill a challenger and replace him."
This way it makes sense that he has a challenger card on him.
He paid close attention to the trends in the city. At the beginning, he picked out the "outsiders" who were alone, killed them, took away their cards, took over the identity of the deceased, and then mingled with the challengers to steal supplies.
——His name is not Xu Zhengyang, but the name of the challenger he replaced is Xu Zhengyang.
The real Xu Zhengyang has been killed by him, and the teammates Xu Zhengyang matched also died under his knife.
Shao Qingge felt chills all over: "Fortunately, I don't have any matching teammates in this secret room. If I were matched randomly and he killed his teammates and pretended to be my teammates, maybe I would be tricked as well."
As early as when I cleared Plum Blossom 2, the gatekeeper said that in C-level secret rooms, it is recommended that everyone form a team in advance. If you randomly match teammates, you can't tell who you will match.
For people like Shao Qingge and Ye Qi who don't plan to form a team, the 3 Spades Secret Room can't trick them because they don't have any teammates in the first place and it's impossible for a teammate to suddenly appear; Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang have already formed a team in advance.
If everyone in the team acts together, they won't give the boss a chance.
Only those who have not found a regular teammate after passing the second level may be matched with a cheater in random matches. If they are not alert enough, they will be killed and replaced by the boss. They are also accompanied by wolves every day without knowing it.
Shao Qingge somewhat sympathized with this group of challengers. One person named Xu Zhengyang was killed by the boss at the beginning; another teammate was killed by the boss pretending to be Xu Zhengyang. Both of them probably died without knowing how.
Yu Hanjiang said: "They were able to pass the 3 of Hearts perfectly. Their own strength is not bad, but they were too confident, too careless, and not cautious enough when meeting unfamiliar 'teammates', so the boss took advantage of them."
Shao Qingge pressed his temples with a headache: "There is a zombie leader Liu Xiaoyuan in the secret room of Spades 2. In the secret room of Spades 3, there is a boss who pretends to be a challenger and steals things. Moreover, the owner of Shanshui B&B is also an accomplice. If it weren't for Captain Yu, you
According to the analysis, I never thought that Shanshui B&B is actually the biggest black shop!"
Yu Hanjiang said: "A person died at Shanshui B&B last night. The boss is still so calm today. There must be something wrong."
The boss and the free man joined forces, and Shanshui B&B became a black shop specializing in deceiving "outsiders".
There were fewer challengers staying in the hotel across the street, so on the first night, "Xu Zhengyang" first picked a place with few people to attack. On the second day, he decided to go to the Shanshui B&B where the challengers gathered. At this time, there would be two
kind of result——
The first is what Ye Qi has experienced. The challengers were not vigilant enough and most of their supplies were stolen. They had no choice but to move to the construction site collectively. Except for senior Ye Qi who abandoned his teammates and left alone with supplies,
And if the supplies are placed elsewhere from the beginning, other challengers will gather at the construction site, and there is a high possibility that the group will be wiped out.
Second, among the challengers are masters like Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou who are alert enough and have the means to catch the thief. At this time, the secret room boss will use extreme means to escape. The other challengers will temporarily keep their supplies, but the boss will use "discounts"
He deliberately kept everyone behind so that "Xu Zhengyang" could continue to steal everyone's things.
If nothing else goes wrong, "Xu Zhengyang" will return to Shanshui B&B again tonight. Once most of the challengers' supplies in the B&B are stolen, they will have to leave here and gather at the construction site again.
Yu Hanjiang thought about all this and felt that the layout of the ace of spades and the ace of clubs was really precise.
Most of the challengers' actions have been arranged by them.
In the 3 of Spades secret room, there are only three types of people who can survive successfully: the ruthless people who abandon their teammates and monopolize the supplies; the brave people who don't stay in B&Bs and hotels from the beginning and sleep on the streets directly; the ones who are alert enough and store the supplies in batches
, a discreet player who can be transferred at any time.
Other challengers who honestly stock up on supplies and stay in B&Bs are almost destined to be eliminated.
Yu Hanjiang stood up: "We have to go back as soon as possible. I'm worried that the challengers checking out at the hotel will flock to the construction site, and Professor Xiao and the others are in danger."
Shao Qingge also stood up alertly: "Let's go!"
***
It was exactly noon.
Under the scorching sun, the road is about to melt, and the trees on the street are all sunburnt, and their leaves are drooping listlessly.
Several main roads in the city are still tightly blocked. Without the command of the traffic police, cars cannot move at all. In addition, some rear-end accidents and collisions caused by traffic jams, and some drivers getting out of their cars to quarrel have made the already traffic jam situation even worse.
confusion.
The exhaust fumes emitted by a large number of cars seemed to raise the surrounding temperature a little higher, and the sound of horns on the street was deafening.
As long as there is oil in the car, you can turn on the air conditioner, but if the traffic continues like this, the oil in the car will eventually run out. Moreover, the price of oil has risen to the point that most people cannot afford it. Many people hide in the car and blow on the air conditioner, with faces full of tears.
They were so restless that some even couldn't wait and simply abandoned the car and ran away.
On the street, some people smashed open the shops on the roadside and went in to loot.
Someone went to smash the self-service teller machine, but found that there was not a single gold coin in it, so he turned around and ran away, cursing.
The bank was robbed and had to close its doors.
No one was queuing up patiently to check out at the supermarket in the central square anymore. A large number of residents poured into the supermarket, beating, smashing, and robbing. The shelves were all emptied. The supermarket manager wanted to close the supermarket with a look of horror on his face, but the crowd was too crowded.
, the door couldn't be closed at all, someone accidentally fell down, and the person behind him couldn't stop, so he was squeezed over and stepped on. An old man lying on the ground was actually trampled to death...
The crowded crowd fell one after another like a "domino effect". Cries and screams kept coming to Yu Hanjiang's ears. An extremely serious mass stampede occurred in the chaotic supermarket!
Shao Qingge felt a chill running down his spine and couldn't bear to watch anymore: "It's so terrible. I don't know how many people will die..."
Once such a mass stampede occurs, countless people will die and be injured!
Yu Hanjiang's face became more and more ugly. With his own strength, he couldn't help even if he went to the scene. However, seeing so many people being trampled to death, he really couldn't let go of his anger!
Xiao Lou is right... the world is crazy.
Yu Hanjiang clenched his fists hard and forced himself to turn his head away from looking at the cruel scene. He directly activated the teleportation card and led Shao Qingge back to the construction site at an extremely fast speed.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Lou sent a text message: "Team Yu, many challengers suddenly came to the construction site."
Yu Hanjiang asked hurriedly: "Are you okay? Did they grab supplies or hurt you?"
Xiao Lou: "..."
Could it be that in Captain Yu’s heart, he had no ability to protect himself?
Perhaps in Captain Yu's view, Xiao Lou, as a university professor, is a gentle and gentle person. He never fights with others, and his physical strength is not very strong. He can barely keep up with Yu Hanjiang by wearing accelerating shoes and running fast.
But don’t forget, this is a card world.
No matter how gentle a person is, he must force himself to become stronger in this world, while the weak can only wait to be eliminated.
——If Xiao Lou needs to rely on others to protect him, then he is not Xiao Lou.
When Yu Hanjiang saw the ellipsis in his reply, he thought he was in trouble and couldn't speak. He immediately speeded up and teleported back to the construction site with Shao Qingge like flying.
However, the scene in front of them made Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge stunned at the same time.
In the room in the northwest corner of the third floor, Xiao Lou looked calm and even had a smile on his face.
He lifted his fingers lightly, and several silver metal rings were floating in the air in front of him. Next to him, two men were trapped from head to toe by the dense rings and could not move; the feet of the two girls were surrounded by chain rings. They were unable to stand firmly while standing in the trap, and could only rely on the wall to maintain their balance; there was also a man and a woman who were hung directly from the beam by the ring, begging for mercy with frightened faces.
Yu Hanjiang: "………………"
Professor Xiao is awesome.
It seems that his worries are too much.
Seeing Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge come back, Xiao Lou immediately walked over with a smile and said: "These guys, seeing that there are only two of me and Ye Qi, and there are so many supplies in the room, they actually dare to run in and grab things directly. I caught them all."
Ye Qi looked at Xiao Lou with admiration from the side: "Professor Xiao is really foresighted. After you left, he drew a lot of circles for later use. I didn't even see clearly during the operation just now. It was like he was doing magic, three or two. Let’s tie up these bastards!”
The six people who were tied up: “…………”
There was only one handsome young man on the construction site, a man who looked gentle and gentle, and I thought he would be easy to deal with.
In the end, they walked into the fucking ring trap, 6v2, completely defeated, and they were all captured and turned into prisoners. It was really embarrassing!
