Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 2054 Two Ways to Divide

What Jia Jiatian said made everyone a little panicked, and they checked the door tags carefully again; the most panicked person was undoubtedly Tasker—so it was he who, after a desperate search, finally After entering the corner of the corridor for the third time, he shouted: "There is still a way here! Only 20 o'clock!"

Lin Sanjiu has seen the road behind the corner of the corridor several times: within a few meters, there is a large piece of tarpaulin blocking the road, and a line of words "under construction, please do not pass" is printed on the cloth - "Construction "Land" is probably the truncation point of the dungeon setting. Before the tarpaulin, where is the road?
After she hurried over with the crowd to take a look, she realized that Tusker had actually got into the shed.

"Look," Tusker blushed because of excitement, lifted up the tent cloth, pointed to the back and said, "This cloth is not set here in the dungeon, the construction site is still behind!"

Lin Sanjiu swept the shed and found that, as he said, the corridor in the distance seemed to be peeled off, revealing large areas of gray cement; Unnamed tools and wires blocked the way forward.

Between the construction site and the tarpaulin, there remained a small section of complete corridor. It was in this corridor that the tenth road appeared—it was also a door, and the sign only required a bet of at least 20 points.

"What's going on here...?" Pina retracted her head from under the tarpaulin and murmured, "I thought we couldn't force past the interception set up by the dungeon..."

"I can't," said Tasker, and with a jerk of his arm, the tarpaulin was pulled down with a clatter. "I tried to step on the construction site just now, and the cement underneath immediately collapsed. I didn't know where I fell, so I hurried back. I suspect that either someone put an extra piece of cloth here , or someone moved the cloth forward for a certain distance, just blocking the tenth road."

"Why did you do such a thing?" Lin Sanjiu looked at the door at 20 o'clock and said, "Someone doesn't want people who come later to find this road with the lowest points?"

"I decided to go this way anyway," Tasker said, not surprising at all: "I've seen it, and it's the same as the road description at 30 o'clock, both of which are 'maybe lead to the end', 'slightly The road that is not easy can only be entered by one person every 5 minutes. Even the length is similar, this one is 800 meters, and the road at 30:950 is [-] meters. Since there is not much difference in all aspects, why don’t I choose the cheapest way?”

除了点数之外唯一的不同，是30点路的赔率为1:1.5，而20点路的赔率为1：1.2——差别确实不算大。

When several people discussed each other sentence by sentence, Lin Sanjiu noticed that Pan Cui silently turned back to the corridor outside the corner; when she followed subconsciously, Pan Cui heard her footsteps and turned her head. When he saw it, he smiled at her.

"Aren't you taking the 20 o'clock route?" Lin Sanjiu asked.

"Actually, you don't want to take that road, do you?" Pan Cui observed her expression, and said with a smile: "Tasker is right, the conditions of the two roads are not much different. Since they are not much different, why should I Why don't you choose a path that no one has touched?"

She didn't deliberately lower her voice; Pina also happened to poke her head out from behind the corner at this time, and she said "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". the way?"

Pan Cui responded with actions: she walked to the door of the room at 30 o’clock, took out two chips, and put them all on the ground under the sign—every time a chip was placed on the ground, it was equal to a bet; since She put it down only once, and both chips disappeared, indicating that they were 15 points each, which is not a good deal.

Pina gasped and said, as if she still couldn't believe it, "Are we really going to split up?"

"I've decided to go this way," Pan Cui put her hand on the doorknob, turned her head and smiled at Pina, and said, "You are welcome to come along, I'll wait for you inside."

After that, she looked at her watch, pushed the door and walked in - the door closed behind her with a bang, and the hanging tag under her hand was shaken.

"Did you really go in?" Tasker also poked his head out, with an irritable expression on his face, "I can't see that she is so willful, she just left as soon as she said it, how unsafe is it to separate?"

Although he said it was not safe to separate, after hesitating for a while, he still did not change his mind. "The text description is rather vague, maybe it looks the same," Tasker argued, "but you can tell from the odds, which road is safer."

What he said was very reasonable; but Lin Sanjiu couldn't explain why, when 5 minutes passed, her footsteps still stopped at the door of the 30 o'clock road.

Compared to Tasker's deliberation and prudence, Pan Cui's choice seems to be more attractive for some reason.

Even Pina obviously hesitated; when Lin Sanjiu put the [Teaching students according to their aptitude] chips on the ground, Pina also made up his mind and said: "Don't go in first, you knock on the door and ask her what's inside? "

If the dungeon can't even guard against this, it's not called a dungeon anymore.

After putting away the change chips, Lin Sanjiu opened the door, and a section of darkness suddenly opened from the door.The dark and cool air, which seemed to have not been disturbed for a long time, implied a faint smell of dust and mildew, and rushed into her nostrils; What was said later, the door has been automatically closed - after a "boom", all sounds are isolated from the door, as if the world outside the door no longer exists.

Inside the door, only Lin Sanjiu and his own breathing in the darkness were left, which didn't sound like hers.She held her breath subconsciously, and the sound of breathing stopped, which made her feel relieved.

"...Pan Cui?"

When she yelled and took a tentative step forward, there was a sudden "crack" in the darkness ahead, and a dim yellow light bulb hanging from the ceiling lighted up feebly.

Contrary to her imagination, this is not an apartment.Although it looks like it was destroyed by a bomb, there are still remnants of the former cubicle; under the overturned desk, there are computer screens with holes pierced; dead in broken flower pots Dry brown fern trees, buried under broken bricks, dust, and debris-it's hard to find even a foothold where the light bulb lights up.

"Lin Sanjiu?"

Pan Cui's voice sounded from the darkness far ahead, and Lin Sanjiu looked up, and found that there was also a light in the office where the wall was smashed from the front; He got out from under the door in the hole, patted the ashes on his body, and said, "This seems to be a commercial and residential building... Where is Pina, is she planning to come in too?"

"I don't know," Lin Sanjiu didn't move, and looked around carefully, feeling as if something was missing. "She hadn't made up her mind when I came in."

"Then let's wait for her for 5 minutes." Pan Cui looked at her watch and said, "This neighborhood should be considered safe. During the time I was waiting for you, nothing happened."

Using the dim light, Lin Sanjiu looked around the ruins again, and finally realized what was missing. "Where are the arrows? Why didn't I see any of them?"

Pan Cui sighed. "You noticed it too? I haven't seen an arrow since I came in. Maybe it means that there is no fork in the office, so there is no need for an arrow?"

"No, there are no forks on the scaffolding, there are also arrows... If there were no arrows at that time, we would not be able to know where the end of the scaffolding road is." Lin Sanjiu frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "You How did you get there?"

"How?" Pan Cui was stunned, pointing to the large piece of broken brick in front of her, and said, "I just found a place where I can stay and stepped on these rubbish."

Lin Sanjiu looked down, and the thought that was evoked by intuition became more and more clear in her mind; before she had time to explain, she hurriedly kicked the broken bricks, broken boards, and dirt in front of her. The documents were swept aside.

The dust flying all over the sky obscured the light and dimmed it again; the floor with accumulated scars and damage was gradually exposed.At first, she thought she had guessed wrong, but after sweeping an open space vigorously, Lin Sanjiu finally caught a yellow strip between the black ash and garbage.

Pan Cui had already reacted at this time, and rushed over to help Lin Sanjiu kick things away together. The two of them squinted their eyes due to the dust, and covered their mouths and noses with their arms. After a long time, they finally found Out came a buried arrow.

"Why are you hiding?" Pan Cui complained from the crook of her arm, followed the direction pointed by the arrow, and kicked away a piece of inter-lattice board that was barely standing.As the board was dragged on the floor with a dull sound, a light bulb in front of it turned on again—a dirty office chair, as if being pushed by someone's toes, slowly turned on. The ground slid back a little.

Both Lin Sanjiu and Pan Cui paused.

From the back of the office chair hangs a face with its chin up and forehead down.The two eyes are still open, and the eyeballs have long since disappeared. There seems to be wind blowing out of the two dry holes in the black hole.The dry, brown and wrinkled skin, like leather products that have been left for too long, is hardly recognizable as belonging to a person; the neck of the corpse is twisted at an angle that a living person cannot, and the limbs hang limply on the ground .

It only takes one glance to tell that the corpse was once an Evolver.Although the condition of the corpse was so bad that even men and women could not be distinguished, it was only covered with a layer of gray clothes, but it was undoubtedly the attire of an evolutionary from the twelve realms.

Another yellow arrow just revealed, just at the foot of the office chair corpse.

"It's just a 'slightly difficult' road, can it kill people?" Teacher Yi murmured.

"Hi, I'm coming in,"

They were both startled when Pina greeted them unexpectedly from behind; Pina saw them and called out, "Both of them have gone to 20 o'clock road—what are you looking at?"

　I feel that this dungeon is a slow-heating type...
