Chapter 537: Variety: Escape Room (35)

This is actually not to blame Fu Nanxun, the position of this text on the fuel cylinder is really hidden, and a sticker with a width of less than one centimeter is pasted on the outside of the transparent container, but the word is printed on the sticky side and pasted in.

The cellar was dimly lit, and the font size was so small that if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't notice it at all.

"I'll take a look," Xie Lang leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but say, "This word is too small, and it's still posted in this kind of place, it's a shame that they can think of it." ”

The curvature of the resin plastic forms a convex lens, which magnifies the content on the sticker to a readable size.

"What's written on it?" Lu Xiu, who was standing on the side, asked.

Fu Nanxun narrowed his eyes and read the content.

“...... The fuel canister is recyclable and automatically replenished every hour!"

"A moment?"

Xu Chunqiu reacted to the corresponding time almost at the same time, and explained: "It was five to seven o'clock in the morning. ”

"It was about five fifteen. ”

There was no light in the cellar, and dozens of watches hung on the walls, so that it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night, let alone what time it was.

Xie Langbian flattened his mouth and said, "God knows what time it is, but it's definitely not five o'clock in the morning." ”

When they were brought into this cellar by Adjutant Jiang, the sky outside was still watching, and it was only late in the evening when the time was dead.

"Then what should we do," Xie Lang was left without an idea, "are we going to wait here stupidly?"

Lu Xiu said in a deep voice: "There must be some other way." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a few heavy knocks on the wooden door leading to the cellar from outside.

"Are the people inside still there, if they are, I promised. ”

Du Zigui was closest to the door, he paused for three or two seconds, and quickly responded.

"We're still here, what's going on?"

The knocking on the door stopped, followed by bad news.

"The men who are chasing you are about to enter the station. ”

"There are two or three groups of people from different forces, what kind of big people have you offended?"

Du Zigui replied vaguely, and then turned his head again.

The voice outside the door was muffled, and he couldn't hear anything clearly from Fu Nanxun's position, so he asked Du Zigui: "Who is that person? What did you just say?"

Du Zigui concisely picked out the key points and said to him: "It should also be someone under Master Zhou." ”

"We don't have time and we have to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible. ”

It felt like a time bomb with a countdown, the numbers on the display flashing back and forth, and several people in the cellar were once again in a state of anxiety.

The clues are there, but there is still no clue.

So far, they have only one fragment of information in their hands, "a moment in time".

According to the sticker on the fuel canister, the empty container will be filled again when the hour comes.

But how can they shake the flow of time by their own will?

Wait, time?

Du Zigui's gaze fell on the clocks on the wall, and suddenly froze.

There are dozens of watches on a whole wall, and the hour and minute hands of none of them meet the time requirements of "5.15".

"I remember just like ......"

There is a watch with no pointers!

He pointed to the empty dial with one hand: "I see, now we are looking for the pointer." ”

"With the pointer in the shape of 'five and fifteen,' can we go out?"

It is indeed in line with the logic of the program team.

The few people in the cellar were very mobile, and they didn't need anyone to talk too much nonsense, they immediately dispersed, and each of them searched carefully in the corners of the room.

"There are so many watches on the wall, we just took off one piece and broke the hands inside. Du Zigui half-truthfully and mockingly proposed.

Fu Nanxun: "I tried it just now, but I can't dismantle it." ”

"Even if you could remove the hands, there would be no way to attach them to that empty dial. ”

Obviously, there is no way out.

Time passed little by little, and after about five minutes, only a "hiss" was heard to break the silence in the cellar.

It's the sound of the fabric tearing.

Xu Chunqiu followed the direction of the voice and looked over, only to see Xie Lang's eyes bright, and he was excitedly holding something high.

"Found it, found the pointer!"

She brushed the thin metal hand against the empty dial, and it turned out to be just right.

She then sighed with some regret: "It's a pity that there is only one." ”

The time point of "5:15" inevitably requires two pointers of different lengths.

Their joy didn't last long, and as soon as Xie Lang fixed the hands he had found on the dial, he heard another knock on the door.

"What did he say?" Xie Lang looked at Fu Nanxun.

Fu Nanxun didn't hear it, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I only listen to the sound of buzzing." ”

Du Zigui stepped forward and walked to the side of the door: "What did you say, can you repeat it again?"

This time he heard clearly.

"They are only a kilometre from the location of the cellar. ”

Fu Nanxun "chuckled" in his heart, and repeated almost incredulously: "One kilometer?"

At the average adult speed, a distance of one kilometer means ten minutes, and at best twelve minutes at best.

And they still have a pointer to find.

Fu Nanxun's breathing unconsciously became shorter.

Du Zigui's range of action was fixed in an area with a radius of one meter near the cellar door, so as to convey the news from outsiders in time. The rest of the people continued to feel in different areas, and no one was idle.

But nothing was found.

There was another knock on the door outside the door, Du Zigui listened to it, and said loudly: "There are still less than eight hundred meters." ”

The sound of the clock hands on the wall fell on Xu Chunqiu's ears for a while, and she suddenly felt very noisy, ticking, and noisy.

Her brain was racing, where else, where else had she not been found?

Lu Xiu was going to work backwards from the existing clues, and he asked Xie Lang, "Where did you find that pointer just now?"

Xie Lang shrugged: "It's just stuck in the wall, and the light is too dim for me to see clearly." ”

"It ripped my skirt and I just found out. ”

It's just a blind cat spraying dead mice.

In the quiet environment, the sound of tearing clothes seems to become extraordinarily clear.

If it weren't for the "hiss" sound, Xie Lang probably wouldn't have found the thin metal pointer inserted into the wall.

"Where was that needle just inserted?"

Xie Lang raised his hand towards a gap between the two dials: "Right there." ”
