Snare - Island Escape

Chapter 4 Morse Code

"Flowers and leaves?" With the light of the flashlight, some patterns could be seen on the floor.It looks like a few flowers and leaves are painted.

It can't be a child's random graffiti, who in the average family would let their children come to such a place?Obviously someone painted it here on purpose, who stayed here?what purpose?

This basement is not big, with a mud structure, it looks like a cellar.How could someone build a cellar under a cistern?

There are too many mysteries here, or what they encountered today is simply unimaginable.Who is it?And why trap them here?

Everyone stared at the strange pattern on the ground and thought about it. Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Listen, what's the sound?"

At the same time, Yin Xieyang felt the soles of his feet wet: "Huh?"

"Water! It's water!" The driver pointed to the corner of the wall: "Water seeps out there."

"Quickly block it with something!" At this time, everyone panicked and hurriedly took mountaineering bags to block it, took off their clothes, and tried their best to block the place where the water leaked.But it was of no use at all, water poured in continuously from the cracks of the four walls, and it couldn't be stopped at all.

This is no joke. With the speed at which the water pours in, they will be drowned within half an hour... But if you think about it in reverse, maybe this is also their chance to escape.If everyone could swim, they could rely on the buoyancy of the water to swim upstream and open the mud panels on the ceiling leading to the reservoir.

Among a group of people in a hurry, only Situ Mobai remained calm, leaning against the wall and lowering his head.In such a tense atmosphere, he still maintains the posture of a handsome and handsome boy.When Yin Xieyang glanced at him, he suddenly spoke: "Morse code. (Note 1)"

"Ah?" Yin Xieyang didn't react for a moment.The other party ignored him, and continued as if talking to himself: "The interval is too neat, the interval between flowers and leaves is 2 cm, too regular. It is a set of passwords."

Because the pattern on the ground has been submerged by water, Yin Xieyang immediately "recalls" the picture he saw in his mind when he heard the words.Indeed, the arrangement of those patterns is regular: "If flowers are dots, leaves are lines." He said, scratching out dots and lines on the wall with his nails.

Morse code needs to be changed into letters, and then translated into English words.Everyone has their own shortcomings. Even Yin Xieyang, who has a photographic memory, has areas where he is not good at, such as abstract things such as numbers and words. weak point.Therefore, he simply drew it and let others decipher it.Anyway, there are many elites in the brain field present, and there must be someone who can decipher it.

It's just that before he finished drawing, Situ Mobai announced the answer: "password The middle of thelion and scale." It was still so soft that only Yin Xieyang could hear it. If you didn't pay attention, you might think he was talking to himself.

"Password? Password? Where's the password? What do you mean?" Yin Xieyang's voice finally caught the attention of others.

"Xiaoyin, what are you talking about?" Team Li and the others had already given up trying to block the water inlet, and simply waited for the water level to rise before climbing out from the entrance where Yin Xieyang and the others fell.Anyway, in just over ten minutes, the water had already covered their knees.Although the clay tablet is now closed again, since they can come in from there, it means that the clay tablet can be opened.

When Li Dui and the others approached, Situ Mobai retreated into the corner again.

Yin Xieyang took a look at him before answering Team Li: "Just now Situ Mobai found out that the patterns on the floor should be a set of Morse codes. I recalled it a bit. Here, it should be what I drew on the wall."

Looking at the light of the flashlight, everyone felt a little bit suddenly enlightened and confused: "Have you deciphered it?"

"Flowers represent dots, do leaves represent horizontal lines?" The person who asked the question was the taller boy among the team members. His name is Yu Liyang. His strength is code deciphering. Morse code is just an entry level for him. . "Hmm..." But he is not a memory player after all, so he followed Yin Xiyang's example and carved the letters represented by each row of codes on the wall.

"password The middle of thelion and scale?"

"Password? Ha! Is this a room escape game?" Li Xu, the fat man who was hit by Situ Mobai just now, laughed and said while looking for the pinhole camera: "Hey, where is the camera hiding? I'll just say this Is it a prank show? Isn’t the secret room reality show very popular now? This is a MIX version of a reality show plus a prank show?”

Everyone cast their eyes on Li Dui for proof, and they all had expectations in their eyes, and even begged, how I hope Li Dui can smile and say in the next second: "You are so cunning, you really can't hide it from your brains! Elites. That’s right, this is a show. You’ve been screwed!”

They were disappointed in the end. Captain Li lowered his eyelids and shook his head. He couldn't bear to see the disappointed eyes of the children: "No. I didn't receive the notification...Maybe, I was also punished?"

But everyone knows intellectually that things are not so optimistic.This is kidnapping and illegal detention, even if they cannot escape, it is murder!No program production unit would disregard the law so much for the sake of ratings.

Seeing that everyone was depressed, Captain Li changed the subject: "...Anyway, let's find a way to get out first. By the way, you all know how to swim, right?" While talking, the water in the secret room was already up to your waist.

Fortunately, everyone present knows how to swim, and Yin Xieyang, as an athlete, is no exception. The school swimming team even invited him to join the team.Naturally, he wasn't worried about himself, but...he glanced at the beautiful boy hidden in the shadow of the corner.Although in such a dark and harsh environment, in such a panic atmosphere, the other party still stood there quietly as if isolated from the world, his eyes seemed to be focused on the ceiling, but he seemed not to be looking at anything.At this moment, Yin Xieyang suddenly thought of the independent snow lotus in the deep mountain......

I go!Yin Xieyang touched the goose bumps on his arms.He was taken aback by his sour and vulgar metaphor.Was it really infected by the Su Qi on the opponent?

Li Dui obviously also thought of Situ Mobai, he said worriedly: "Situ can't move both hands, can't he swim?"

Naturally, Situ Mobai would not answer him.

On the contrary, Yin Xieyang was quite righteous: "Captain Li, I'm good at swimming, I'll take him swimming later."

Team Li thought about it, and nodded as he had no other choice: "That's how it is. If you're tired, call us for help."

The water was already under Yin Xieyang's chest, so he hurriedly waded to Situ Mobai's side, passed his left hand through the other's armpit from the back, and half embraced him.Situ Mobai didn't refuse, didn't resist, and didn't respond in any way.

Seeing that Situ Mobai did not object, Team Li breathed a sigh of relief.

=============

However, things were not as simple as they imagined. When the water level got higher and higher, they finally saw clearly when they got closer to the ceiling.There was indeed a door on the cement slab when Yin Xieyang and Situ Mobai fell down, but it was locked tightly at the moment, and there was a combination lock plate on it.

"Fuck! You still need a password?!" Everyone immediately thought of the Morse code on the floor: "Could it be that string of English?! But this lock only has number buttons, it can't be English letters!"

Li Xu and Yu Liyang knew each other from the beginning, and he pinned his hopes on this password master: "Yu Liyang, this is your housekeeping skill, it's up to you."

Yu Liyang once participated in deciphering the Frisbee Book of Mayan ruins (Note 2). Originally, this level of code was a piece of cake for him, but deciphering work often requires reference to a large amount of data and computer calculations. How can they have it now? Computers and data?Things get a little tricky.

"There is no symbol, it should not be a letter substitution method, is it a multi-table substitution method? (Note 3)"

Others are also thinking: "In the middle of the lion and the scale? What's the mess?"

Yu Liyang bit his finger anxiously: "Could it be a conversion password? This is troublesome. If it is a conversion password, it will require a lot of calculations."

"How long will that take?" The others were not much easier than him.The air in this secret room was already thin.Now that they are still soaked in water, they all feel that it is beginning to struggle to breathe.

"I don't know, it usually takes about an hour."

One hour? !With the extent of the water spreading, they will say goodbye to the world in less than 10 minutes. What's the use of calculating it?Keep it as an epitaph?

Seeing that the water level was getting higher and higher, the scythe of death was already on their necks.

"Quick! I feel like my lungs are going to explode!"

"I'm almost out of strength..."

The water level was less than half a meter away from the ceiling, and the threat of death crushed everyone's brains.God!Are you going to die here?He is still so young, no!He doesn't want to die! ! !

Even the most stable Team Li gave up hope of survival, but Yin Xieyang suddenly shouted: "Try 823922!"

Li Xu, who was closest to the cement board door, entered these six numbers. The lack of oxygen made his mind almost blank, and his hands were still trembling slightly.This is their last hope!

With a "click", the lock opened.This crisp sound was undoubtedly the sound of nature to everyone's ears, and Yin Xieyang felt that he was about to cry with joy.

Everyone opened the clay door and scrambled to get in, just like koi huddling together to poke their heads for food.

Because Yin Xieyang had a "handicapped person" with him, he was inconvenient to move, and was pushed to the outside by other people.He frowned slightly.But he has no right to blame them. After all, at this moment of life and death, the will to survive is everyone's instinct. If he hadn't brought Situ Mobai with him, he might have squeezed past them and become one of the "koi".

Only Captain Li said to Yin Xieyang: "Xiao Yin, you still have injuries, you go up first."

At this time, the water level was only fifteen centimeters from the ceiling.

Yin Xieyang hesitated for a second. After all, Captain Li was already fifty years old this year, and he was really sorry to let him be an old man in the rear.

Situ Mobai, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this moment: "Within 1 minute, the three of us can get out alive!" It means that if you hesitate any longer, you will be wasting everyone's life time.

Yin Xieyang didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and pushed Situ Mobai up first.

=========

Note 1. Morse code: also known as Morse code, the earliest Morse code is some dots and dashes representing letters, letters correspond to words, you need to look up a code table to know the number corresponding to each word, use a key to Tap out dots, strokes, and pauses in between.

Note 2. The Book of the Frisbee is fabricated by myself.

Note 3. The letter substitution method, the multi-table substitution method, and the conversion cipher are all encryption methods in cryptography.
