The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Chapter 560 [Desert Oasis]

Shao Qingge was already more than one kilometer away from his teammates when he spoke, and he once again saw the "mirage" scene he saw in the desert before, but it was night at this time, and the clear lake water clearly reflected the With a full moon, the lake was quiet and windless, and the surrounding desert plants also cast their reflections in the lake.

There was a sound of frolicking not far from the lake. Shao Qingge took a closer look and saw a bonfire burning in the distance. A group of young women were dancing around the flame. The scarves covered half of their faces, and the girls' slender waists were like water snakes, they could spin and bend at will, and their dancing postures were very enchanting.

There are many young men playing the piano and drums to accompany the beauties in the periphery, the children are frolicking around in a circle, and the old people have set up countless tables, which are full of delicious food.

The bonfire party in the oasis was extremely lively. After going through a whole day of thrilling "escape journey" with a hungry stomach, Shao Qingge thought he had seen a phantom when he suddenly saw such a lively and peaceful scene.

In order to confirm, he quickly got into the desert and approached the lake.

Unlike the mirage during the day, this time he came to the lake very quickly. A gust of wind blew by, sparkling on the surface of the lake, and the breeze brought the aroma of barbecue not far away—this is a real oasis!

Shao Qingge immediately informed his teammates of the good news.

After Xiao Lou heard it, he hurriedly asked Ye Qi to use a teleportation card to take him in the direction of Mr. Shao.

Several people came to Shao Qingge's side within 10 seconds.Everyone hid behind a huge cactus, hidden in the night, and the people attending the bonfire party did not notice them.

Xiao Lou looked at the lively scene not far away, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Is the bonfire party with so many people a festival?"

Shao Qingge said: "It seems to be a couple's wedding. I just saw a young man and woman dressed in bright red costumes being invited to the middle of the dance floor to hold a strange ceremony. There were also people dressed like wizards saying some blessings."

Ye Qi looked at the dancing people and said worriedly, "Most of these people should be plot NPCs living in the desert oasis, right? But there must be hunters among them, waiting here to kill us."

Xiao Lou turned his head and glanced at the clear spring water—it had been a whole day since he entered the challenge session, and he had only drank a sip of water, plus he had been running for 2 hours in the desert just now, at this time, his mouth was already parched , his lips were even split open, this Wang Qingquan was simply a fatal temptation to him.

His body desperately craved water, but reason stopped him.

Xiao Lou swallowed hard, looked away from the clear spring, and said calmly: "Don't eat their food, and don't drink the water here, our goal is to find medicine, and while most people in the town are participating For the wedding banquet, everyone must make a quick decision."

"This oasis town is quite large. The five of us acting together are too eye-catching. Why don't we go separately? I can investigate alone, and I will notify you with a voice headset if there is any news." Shao Qingge said.

"I can also go alone. President Shao and I will go to the left and the right." Chu Huaying looked at Xiao Lou and said, "However, neither of us understands medicine. You have to tell us what medicine we need?"

Xiao Lou thought for a while and said, "The architectural style of this small town looks like a modern background. You can look for pharmacies or hospitals along the way. The first choice medicine for treating plague is streptomycin. If you find it, bring it back to me."

Shao Qingge and Chu Huaying nodded at the same time: "Understood."

Xiao Loudao: "I will act together with Xiaoye and Xiaoliu, and continue to go north. Everyone hurry up and maintain voice communication."

Everyone looked at each other and quickly separated at the three-way intersection ahead.The three of Xiao Lou moved forward, Chu Huaying and Shao Qingge left and one on the right, and the figures of the five quickly disappeared into the night.

Chu Huaying and Shao Qingge, who has transformed into an insect king, are both top-notch in individual combat capabilities. Xiao Lou is not worried about their safety. It is also enough to protect oneself and escape quickly.

Ye Qi and Liu Qiao's combat ability is not strong, but fortunately, with a large number of control cards, and Xiao Lou's summoning card, the three of them can also save their lives in critical moments.It's a pity that Ye Qi's teleportation card has been invalidated, and the teleportation card copied by Mr. Shao only has the last 10 minutes left. They must seize every second of time.

Fortunately, the desert is vast and sparsely populated. The roads in the oasis town do not have winding trails, but are all straight and wide roads.

Since the wedding reception was held by the lake, most of the houses in the town were empty.

If no one lives, it means there is no light, and Xiao Lou dare not directly take out the night pearl for lighting, as that will attract hunters in the small town.He could only make out his path by the dim light of the moon, and use the North Star in the sky to orient himself.

The three went around in the labyrinth-like town, but did not find any pharmacies or hospitals.

As time passed, Xiao Lou became more and more nervous. He found a corner where no one was around, held down the voice headset, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Shao, Huaying, did you find anything?"

Shao Qingge replied: "I didn't see a pharmacy here. After walking a few kilometers, I saw a large orchard growing grapes. These grapes should not be poisonous. I can pick some for everyone to eat."

Chu Huaying said: "My place seems to be a place where they specially raise camels. There is not even a single person. If you go further, it will be an endless desert."

It seems that both Huaying and Mr. Shao are going in the wrong direction.

Assuming that there is really a pharmacy in the oasis town, it must be in the direction Xiao Lou and the others are walking.

Xiao Lou took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, and continued to lead the two teammates forward.

The farther he went, the more forks in the road. If he hadn't kept calm all the time and could quickly locate it through the North Star, he would have lost his way in this night town.

A few minutes later, there was another three-way intersection ahead.

Xiao Lou carved a symbol on the stone at the fork in the road, first go to the left, if you encounter a dead end, turn back and go in other directions.

After walking a certain distance, suddenly, a beam of soft light appeared in his field of vision, and there was a red cross beside it.

That light, like a ship drifting in the dark sea finally saw the lighthouse!

——The red cross, this is the unique mark of medical institutions.

Xiao Lou was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked towards the simple two-storey building.

When I got closer, I saw a sign at the door with the word "hospital" written on it.

There were not many people in the hospital in the middle of the night, and the old doctor on duty at the door was dozing off. Xiao Loumao stooped to avoid his sight, and walked into the building together with Ye Qi and Liu Qiao.

The lights in the building flickered on and off, and the bulb seemed to be broken, making a squeaking sound when it flickered.After walking for a few seconds, Xiao Lou realized something was wrong—every door had a mirror, and the moment the light came on, he suddenly saw his grandma appear in the mirror at the end of the corridor.

The white-haired grandma curled her mouth, narrowed her eyes, and smiled kindly and lovingly.But now, in the mirror of the hospital corridor in this desert oasis town, Xiao Lou suddenly saw his grandmother. Xiao Lou could not feel the care from the elders at all, but felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, almost bleeding freeze.

what happened?Isn't this a hospital?

At the same time, Ye Qi also looked at the mirror in a daze, and murmured: "I saw my mother, is this an illusion?"

Liu Qiao stared at the door in front of him, and said softly, "Sister?"

Xiao Lou stopped immediately: "Something's wrong, everyone get out!"

He took Ye Qi and Liu Qiao back in a hurry, but suddenly, two hands as pale as corpses protruded from the mirrors of the two doors next to them, and those two hands pushed Liu Qiao and Ye Qi violently at the same time. Got dragged into the mirror!

Seeing Ye Qi and Liu Qiao disappear from his side, Xiao Lou's heart tightened slightly——

Is the hunter.

Perhaps, they walked into the [Absolute Field] arranged by the hunter, or, this is the hospital maze deliberately "built" by the hunter, just to wait for him to come.

Xiao Lou clenched his fists hard to calm himself down quickly.

He retreated warily, pressed down the voice headset, and asked in a low voice, "Ye Qi, Liu Qiao, can you hear me?"

Ye Qi replied quickly: "Professor Xiao, this is a mirror maze, surrounded by mirrors, I can't tell the direction..."

Liu Qiao didn't reply immediately, wondering if he was lost in the maze.

Xiao Lou worriedly said: "Liu Qiao?"

After a few seconds, Liu Qiao's voice rang in my ears: "I am here. Professor Xiao, the doors here are all mirrors. Push any door and you will enter the next secret room full of mirrors. What should I do?" How to get out?"

It seems that this is a chain mirror maze.

Xiao Lou had a splitting headache for a while, Xiao Liu and Ye Qi were not good at mazes, and Lao Mo was not around now, so he could only rely on him now.He took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, calm down, and tell me how many walls are there in the secret room?"

Liu Qiaodao: "Four sides."

Ye Qi also said, "Four walls."

Xiao Lou carefully analyzed it in his mind for a moment, and said: "It may be a series of labyrinths composed of countless square secret rooms. I am in the central axis corridor. Liu Qiao was on my left just now. Walk around clockwise. Ye Qi is the opposite. , walk around counterclockwise, you should be able to return to the original position. If you still can't see me, it means that my deduction is wrong..."

According to Xiao Lou's instructions, Ye Qi and Liu Qiao pushed open a mirror door.

Soon, Liu Qiao appeared in Xiao Lou's vision.

Although the girl's face was pale, her gaze remained calm. She walked in front of Xiao Lou, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Professor Xiao is really amazing, he has figured out the laws of the maze so quickly."

Just as Xiao Lou was about to speak, suddenly, a cold light flashed in Liu Qiao's hand——

A sharp dagger pierced into Xiao Lou's chest as quickly as lightning.

This knife was fast, ruthless, and accurate, and it pierced Xiao Lou's heart neatly.

At the moment when the blood spurted out from his chest, Xiao Lou met a pair of icy eyes. Although those eyes belonged to Liu Qiao, they seemed extraordinarily strange.

Before Xiao Lou could react, he completely lost consciousness.

At the same time, two unbelievable messages popped up in the floating boxes of all the players in succession——

Captain Xiao Lou died, and the owner of the team contract was replaced by Yu Hanjiang.

Captain Yu Hanjiang died, and the owner of the team contract was replaced by Shao Qingge.
