Survival Paradox [Infinite]

Unavoidably, the night was full of dreams, Wei Chi carried Bai Yueguang on his back, Shuo Shu and Zhou Yiyang carried the "head" of the mermaid monster, and walked to the cliff where the "Iron Cage Man" was located overnight.

The mermaid's head is basically a man's body, the size is the same, it seems that it is impossible to stuff it into the mouth of the iron cage, but as long as it is moved to the front of the iron cage, it will appear in the iron cage in an instant, and even become Two sizes down.

The two pigeons started flying around again, filling the cage with their feathers.

After the feathers disappeared, the "body" appeared upright in the iron cage, perfectly connected with the head and limbs.

Now, this "cage man" looks like a full-fledged man, except that he is wearing an iron cage, and there are two pigeons squatting in the cage, and his face lacks facial features, that's all.

"Let's rest here today." Shuo Shu suggested, "Tomorrow we will go to the grassland."

Wei Chi agreed, and Zhou Yiyang also agreed, but Bai Yueguang was still awake.

After finishing speaking, Shuo Shu took out two small pills and handed them to Wei Chi and Zhou Yiyang.

Zhou Yiyang asked: "What is this?"

Shuoshu said: "You can eat it if I give it to you, what's the useless talk."

Wei Chi: "Eat it, it's sugar."

Zhou Yiyang is now obedient to Wei Chi, eating obediently.

Everyone was exhausted and fell asleep leaning on each other.

In the second half of the night, Wei Chi felt the pain from his hands, and the lost fingers seemed to be clamoring illusoryly, declaring his sense of existence.

The pain was so bad that he couldn't sleep.

He patted Shushu who was sitting next to watch the night: "Go to sleep, I will watch the night."

Shuoshu took a look at him and shook his head: "It's okay, I don't have any problem staying up for three days and three nights."

"Let me come, you are our important combat power now." Wei Chi sat up and pushed him down, "I just can't sleep."

Shuo Shu glanced at him again, and lay down with his strength. Smelling the smell of the land, he curled his lips in disgust, and asked again, "Hand hurts?"

"A little bit." Wei Chi controlled his expression, "Go to sleep."

Shuoshu opened his eyes and looked at the sky for a while, and finally fell asleep.

Shuoshu only woke up after less than three hours of sleep, and the morning light was faint.

At this moment, Wei Chi was sitting on the edge of the cliff, with his back to him.

His heart sank slightly, and with a vague premonition, he called out, "Wei Chi."

"Huh?" Wei Chi turned around after hearing the words, and it seemed that nothing was wrong.

Shuo Shu walked up to him and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Wei Chi said: "I'm thinking about 'this world'."

"Where did this world come from, and how can it go? What is the purpose? What is the mechanism? Why...is it coming for me?"

Shuoshu was amazed at his honesty, and immediately realized something was wrong, he put his hand on Wei Chi's forehead and said, "Wei Chi, you have a fever."

"Really?" Wei Chi touched his forehead and face, shaking his body, "I don't feel it."

"Your hands and face are at the same temperature, of course you don't feel it." Shuoshu pulled him, took him away from the cliff, and laid him down next to Bai Yueguang, "Go to sleep, I'll go to the grass, I'll let Zhou Yiyang stay and take care of you."

Wei Chi didn't feel anything at first, but as soon as he lay down, the whole world started to spin.

"No...I have to figure out...what is he (she) going to do..." Wei Chi struggled to remember, and fell back before sitting upright.

Shuo Shu turned around to wake Zhou Yiyang up, gave some instructions, then took another look at Wei Chi, and left.

Wei Chi quickly fell asleep.

He woke up a few times in the middle, and when he woke up once, Bai Yueguang woke up too, moaning softly beside him.

Enduring the nausea and dizziness, Wei Chi stood up and asked, "Professor Bai, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Yueguang said weakly: "Water...water..."

Wei Chi turned his head and was about to see where the water was. Zhou Yiyang had already noticed the movement here, and ran over with his water bag in his arms.

After Bai Yueguang drank the water, he looked at Zhou Yiyang again in a daze, and asked, "Xiao Zhou, when did you give birth?"

Zhou Yiyang: "In 05."

Bai Yueguang: "Oh, 05's... 05's is a rooster. Good, the golden rooster announces the dawn, good."

Zhou Yiyang helped him lie back, and he said, "Which constellation?"

Wei Chi had already lay back in a dizzy state. When he heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of Mr. Fang Qingdi. One of these two old men loves to ask about constellations and the other loves to ask about birth dates. Is this the difference between a scientist and a magician?

Zhou Yiyang replied: "I belong to Pisces, grandpa."

"Pisces? Pisces is good." Bai Yueguang said, "Then we are a good match!"

Zhou Yiyang laughed out loud: "Then what is your zodiac sign?"

"Scorpio." Bai Yueguang said, "Scorpio and Pisces are a perfect match!"

Zhou Yiyang suppressed a smile, probably thinking that this 70-year-old man was too trendy: "Really?"

"Of course it's true! My wife and I are Scorpio and Pisces." Bai Yueguang pointed back, "Xiao Wei and his boyfriend are also Scorpio and Pisces, okay..." The voice became quieter and fell asleep after speaking up.

Zhou Yiyang turned his head and asked Wei Chi: "Brother Chi, are you a Scorpio or a Pisces?"

Wei Chi felt that it was absurd to discuss this kind of issue under such circumstances, and said, "It's alright if the old man is ill and unconscious, why are you making fun of him?"

"You must be a Scorpio." Zhou Yiyang said, and after a while, he muttered again, "Then brother, we are also a perfect match?"

Wei Chi didn't bother to talk to him, feeling very uncomfortable under the scorching sun, and fell asleep again.

I really woke up in the evening, the sun was hanging on the horizon, and the wind had already brought the coolness of the night.

Wei Chi sat up and saw Bai Yueguang lying beside him, breathing lightly but still alive.

When he turned his gaze, he saw Zhou Yiyang squatting on the side, and he called out: "Zhou Yiyang, what are you doing?"

"I want to make a fire." Zhou Yiyang said, "Brother Jin hasn't come back yet, so I have to take care of you."

Zhang Jin is the pseudonym Shuo Shu uses in this world.

Wei Chi wanted to go over to help him, but when he got up a little, his limbs felt weak, and he sat back down again.

Then he saw a small black dot on the horizon: "Don't worry, he's back."

It took another half an hour for Shuoshu to get close.

Wei Chi saw that he was not holding anything resembling facial features, but only a light yellow balloon.

Wei Chi: "Didn't find it?"

Shuoshu shook the yellow balloon in his hand: "I found it."

Zhou Yiyang was surprised: "This?"

"Yes." Shuo Shu said, "I found it above the plain. A person's facial features are hanging in midair. There is one eye, a nose and a mouth. The other eye is this hot air balloon."

Zhou Yiyang: "In mid-air?"

"Yes." Shuoshu said, "It's hanging in the sky, no matter from which angle you look at it, it has positive facial features."

Wei Chi: "Then why is there only one ball now?"

"After I took them down, they all entered the ball." Shuoshu said, "Let's put them in first and see what happens."

Wei Chi nodded: "Look first."

Shuo Shu put the yellow balloon into the cage.

The pigeons fluttered again.

While waiting, Zhou Yiyang couldn't help being curious, and asked Shuoshu: "Then they are hanging in the sky, how did you get them down?"

Shuoshu: "I made a slingshot, attached to the 'nanometer wire', and shot it down."

Zhou Yiyang: "How big are they?"

Shushu: "Looking at each one as big as a bus, I started to shoot them all through it, it felt like they were... like some kind of hallucination, until I shot the balloon, they all started to 'leak', very Quickly got sucked in by the balloon and fell out."

Wei Chi said, "It seems to be over."

He was referring to some sort of "reaction" in the cage.

After the feather disappeared, the yellow balloon appeared in front of the cage man's face.

The balloon was firmly attached to his face, and his facial features could not be seen from any angle.

"What's the situation?"

Zhou Yiyang wanted to touch the balloon, but was stopped by Wei Chi: "This is Magritte's unique creative technique - using an object to hang in front of the face to cover the facial features. Since he doesn't want you to see it, you must see it." No, don't spoil the 'picture'."

Zhou Yiyang: "Oh."

Shuo Shu: "Then now..."

Wei Chi: "You just said that there is an eye, a nose and a mouth?"

Shuo Shu nodded.

Wei Chi: "Then it's the only thing left."

The "one-eyed monster".

Shuo Shu looked at Wei Chi for a while and asked, "Are you okay?"

Wei Chi's limbs are still a little weak now, but he is in good spirits and his mind is very clear. He replied: "It's okay."

"Okay." Shuo Shu said, "Then when shall we start?"

"Tonight." Wei Chi looked up at the moon that just came out, and said, "We can't afford it anymore."

In the evening, Wei Chi, Shuo Shu and Zhou Yiyang returned to the ruins where they met the one-eyed monster on the first night.

Originally, Shuo Shu and Wei Chi asked Zhou Yiyang to stay by Bai Yueguang's side to wait for them, but Zhou Yiyang refused to do it, and insisted on following Wei Chi, and declared that "you can't do it without me".

Shuo Shu saw that there was really not enough manpower, and Wei Chi was now disabled, so he agreed.

They still plan to deal with the eyeball monsters in the same way they deal with the mermaid monsters.

There are many broken walls and ruins in the ruins, which is very convenient for them to arrange "line arrays".

After the "line array" was set up, Shuoshu took them to confirm the terrain several times, fearing that they would crash into it by themselves in a panic when they were running for their lives.

Zhou Yiyang patted his chest and said that he was fine, and emphasized the battle plan again: "The power and speed of the eyeball monster will increase with time. We must first confirm what stage it is in. It is much smaller than the mermaid monster. If it is in In the initial stage, the three of us can also artificially tie it up and kill it."

Wei Chi said, "Two."

They still disagreed with Zhou Yiyang directly participating in the hunt with them.

"Okay..." Zhou Yiyang reluctantly said, "If it is at a later stage, then we will move it according to the planned route and introduce it into the line array!"

In fact, the other two already knew the plan, but it's okay to satisfy the young people's desire for expression and vanity.

As the night deepened, the three of them stood ready.

Finally, after sitting on the stone wall for four hours, Zhou Yiyang couldn't stand the cold, and cried: "Why hasn't it come...it's so cold..."

Shuoshu also felt strange: "It shouldn't be...it appeared around twelve o'clock yesterday."

After a pause, he turned his head to discuss with Wei Chi: "Why? Does the one-eyed monster appear together with the mermaid?"

"The mermaid is dead!" Zhou Yiyang exclaimed, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, "If it doesn't appear...will we never be able to get out again?"

"Light a fire." Wei Chi thought for a while and said, "We lit a fire that day."
