The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Chu Huaying was not surprised by Xiao Lou's answer. She nodded towards Xiao Lou and said, "When I slipped out of the laboratory just now, I marked every fork in the road with a spider dagger. I can take it with me. Let’s all go back the way we came.”

She paused, looked at Lu Jiuchuan, with a serious expression: "But, are you sure you want to go to the laboratory? There are a lot of high-level Zerg over there. The seven of us alone are definitely not their opponents. I sneaked away with the invisibility cloak Come out...does your cloak still work?"

Lu Jiuchuan shook his head helplessly: "It's already been used."

Chu Huaying frowned: "So, are you planning to force your way?"

Xiao Lou looked into her eyes and said earnestly: "The end of the clone project and the destruction of related laboratories are our mission goals in this secret room. We have to go, this is our only chance." He looked back Looking at Hanjiang, he asked softly, "What do you think, Hanjiang?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "The Zerg issue must be resolved. Huaying, lead the way."

Chu Huaying didn't struggle anymore, and simply said, "Okay, come with me."

She turned and walked forward, and six people quickly followed behind her.

The underground Zerg cave is damp and cold, with extremely narrow passages that can only accommodate an adult. The height of most areas is only about 1.7 meters, and people who are taller than 1.8 meters have to bend over to walk.

Lu Jiuchuan followed Chu Huaying, then Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge, and Ye Qi. Tang Ci followed at the end of the team, summoning a drone to survey the surrounding environment at any time.

When they came to the fork ahead, everyone saw a spider-shaped mark on the wall.

This mark is very special, the hard stone has been dug out with a deep mark - only Chu Huaying's S-level weapon card [Spider Dagger] can carve such a deep mark on the stone wall.

Lu Jiuchuan looked back at Yu Hanjiang, pouted his lips, and motioned him to look at the mark on the wall.Yu Hanjiang fixed his eyes on the spider mark, but did not speak.

Chu Huaying reminded: "Everyone, be careful where you step, the road here is not easy to walk."

There are countless twists and turns in the cave, and people with a poor sense of direction will be dizzy. This also confirms Xiao Lou's previous speculation that the underground labyrinth of the Zerg cave is indeed a "spider web" structure , if there is no one to lead the way, if they only rely on their own exploration, such a huge underground labyrinth will not be able to finish in a whole day.

Chu Huaying said that she escaped from the laboratory and carved marks with a dagger along the way, and now she returns along the same route as the spider mark, so she doesn't have to worry about going wrong.

She turned left and right, leading everyone through more than a dozen forked roads.

After a while, she stopped at a three-way intersection and said softly, "It's just ahead."

The six people immediately pricked up their ears vigilantly. Chu Huaying chose the road on the left at the three-way intersection. The crowd followed her and walked a few steps. The cave in front of them suddenly opened up. The [-]-square-meter cave is so quiet that you can hear a needle drop in the spacious space, and you can even hear the breathing of your teammates beside you.

A metal door appeared in front of the cave. Chu Huaying pointed to the door, indicating with her eyes that it was the location of the laboratory.Lu Jiuchuan strode to the door and asked, "How do I open this door?"

Chu Huaying said: "They opened it with a graphic password."

She walked to Lu Jiuchuan's side, stretched out her index finger and drew a figure on the door, and the door opened.

Lu Jiuchuan looked into the door—there was a wide passage inside. Compared with the uneven ground in the cave, it was obviously carefully decorated. The floor was covered with flat floor tiles, and the ceiling was still lit. There are some sophisticated instruments, which look a lot like a human science laboratory.

Chu Huaying said: "These should be instruments for extracting genes. The laboratory has a large area, and there are several rooms in it. It is the experimental area for soaking replicants. I was locked in it after being anesthetized."

Lu Jiuchuan looked back at Yu Hanjiang, nodded to him, and several teammates quickly followed.

At the moment when Tang Ci, who was at the end of the team, entered the laboratory, the door behind her was suddenly closed. Chu Huaying was about to explain, but before she could turn around, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck——

A snow-white knife light flashed in her field of vision, followed by the scene in front of her eyes spinning, her head rolled to the ground with a rumble, and a pair of eyes happened to see her own neck that had been severed.

Chu Huaying opened her mouth wide in horror: "??!!"

Yu Hanjiang held a sharp saber in his hand, his eyes were as cold as ice, and Chu Huaying's terrified face was reflected in the sword spirit.

He cut off Chu Huaying's head without hesitation!

Yu Hanjiang held the saber in his right hand, and took out a card case from Chu Huaying's pocket with his left hand.

Almost at the same time, the ceiling of the laboratory suddenly opened, revealing a black hole, and countless red crystals that had been cut into sharp arrows fell down like a torrential rain!

The densely packed sharp arrows hitting people will definitely turn everyone into hedgehogs in an instant.

Closed space, nowhere to escape.

Xiao Lou yelled "Get out", and the six people disappeared in an instant.

After 1 second, the six returned to the place where they met Chu Huaying just now.

The cave was extremely quiet, and I could clearly hear my own intense heartbeat.Ye Qi exhaled with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice: "It's too dangerous, and the clones led us into the trap again... Fortunately, Professor Xiao left a way out in advance, and put down Li Qingzhao's mark before following her. Otherwise , we've now been shot into six hedgehogs."

Brother Lu Jiuchuan and Yu Hanjiang are very close to each other. With just one look from brother Jiu, Yu Hanjiang knew that Chu Huaying was a fake, so he played a trick with Xiao Lou, just to let the replicator relax his vigilance and get back Chu Huaying's card. Bag.

The hunter's plan to use clones to lure everyone into a trap failed again.

Yu Hanjiang handed the card package he just got to Lu Jiuchuan, and said, "Brother Jiu, Huaying's card package was taken away by them, and the spider dagger is actually in the hands of the cloner. Huaying may be very dangerous now."

Xiao Loudao: "I guess, the real Huaying has already escaped."

Ye Qi was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Lou analyzed: "If she is in a coma, the hunter can lock her in the trap laboratory just now. We spent a lot of time walking the maze and finally found her. Since she is unconscious, we can't find her." To confirm her authenticity, at this time, the hunter will activate the mechanism again, we not only have to avoid the rain of arrows, but also protect the unconscious Chu Huaying, the probability of being wiped out by the group will be higher."

Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes and agreed: "Professor Xiao makes sense. If we hadn't discovered something wrong with Chu Huaying, we wouldn't have put down Li Qingzhao's mark in advance and teleported away. Maybe we were really trapped in that experiment." in the room."

Xiao Lou looked at his teammates and said, "The Hunter chooses to send a fake Chu Huaying to lead the way. This approach is not safe. As Mr. Shao said, once we see through the fake Huaying, we can easily prepare in advance .”

Yu Hanjiang understood what he meant, and said, "You mean, because the real Huaying has already escaped, the hunters are worried that we will meet the real Huaying first, so they send a fake one to lure us into a trap?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "Otherwise, there is no need for him to send a fake Chu Huaying to lead us the way, let us explore by ourselves, walk through the maze for a few hours, and deal with us when we are exhausted, wouldn't it be more likely to win? "

The teammates felt that Xiao Lou's analysis made sense.

If it wasn't for Chu Huaying's sudden escape, there was really no need for the hunter to send a fake one to confuse everyone.It will be easier for Xiao Lou and the others to take the bait by directly controlling the truth and leading everyone to rescue them.

Lu Jiuchuan said with a sullen face: "Huaying must still be in this maze, we have to find her as soon as possible."

Xiao Loudao: "Try another direction."

Just now, the fake Chu Huaying led them around, and ended up leading everyone into a trap. The real laboratory must be in another direction.However, there are too many underground passages in the Spider Cave, Xiao Lou can only go in the opposite direction as far as possible from memory.

The crowd walked forward for a while.

After walking through more than a dozen corners in a row, Lu Jiuchuan heard light footsteps coming from the other side of the corridor. He held his breath, and at the moment the other party came, he suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the other party's shoulder decisively, and pulled him hard. Pull this way——

The person who was forcibly dragged over was actually Chu Huaying.

She froze for a moment, raised her eyebrows and said, "Ninth Brother...Professor Xiao? Why are you here?"

Lu Jiuchuan let go of her and said with a smile, "It's you?"

He glanced back at Yu Hanjiang, who understood, walked up to Chu Huaying and asked in a low voice, "Did you escape from the laboratory?"

Chu Huaying said: "I don't know if it's a laboratory or not. They locked me in a closed room. I sneaked out by knocking out the two star thieves guarding me while they were not paying attention." She frowned slightly. Frowning, looking around, said: "The road in this maze is winding and winding. I was so dizzy that I couldn't find the exit."

Xiao Lou asked: "Then can you find the way back?"

Chu Huaying thought for a while, and said, "It should be possible. After I ran out, I would always go left when I encountered a fork in the road. If you return to the original road, just go right." She looked at Xiao Lou in surprise: "Why, You want to go back?"

Xiao Lou explained: "We have to hurry up and find the clone lab. The place where you are being held is probably the lab. Please show me the way."

Without hesitation, Chu Huaying immediately turned around and led the way.

After walking through several forks in a row, another door appeared in front of him.Chu Huaying led everyone to the door, opened the door and said, "It should be here..."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Jiuchuan suddenly twisted her arm, pushed her into the secret room, and closed the door forcefully.

Almost as soon as the door was closed, there was a deafening explosion inside the house!

The six of Xiao Lou teleported back to the place where they met Chu Huaying just now. Ye Qi's lips were so pale that there was no blood. He clenched his fists and suppressed his anger: "Another clone! goods?"

Xiao Lou looked at him helplessly and said, "Has Xiaoye ever played minesweeper games?"

Ye Qi was taken aback: "You mean..."

Xiao Lou nodded - using replicants to eliminate traps is like a minesweeper game on a computer.

When all the pitfalls have been eliminated, what is left is naturally the real laboratory.

Xiao Lou's face was heavy, and he looked at Lu Jiuchuan: "Brother Jiu, you must not admit your mistake."

Lu Jiuchuan nodded: "Don't worry, I've known Chu Huaying for so long, and she would cover up for me every time in Zhou Chang's secret room. How could I not be able to tell if she was real or not?"

Although Ye Qi didn't know how Ninth Brother could tell the difference, he, Shao Qingge, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang didn't have much contact with Chu Huaying. eyes to judge.

Anyway, Brother Jiu looked back at Yu Hanjiang's eyes, it was enough for everyone to know what it meant.

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "Go on, I don't know how many Chu Huaying he will send to interfere with us."
