"Where was that needle just inserted?"

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

Lu Xiu looked in the direction of her finger, and then searched for it in the dark with limited light.

Du Zigui's voice came from the door again: "It's only five hundred meters." ”

Lu Xiu's movements did not stop, and their eyes quickly swept over the area.

Xie Lang shook his head: "Mr. Lu, it's useless." ”

"I've searched this area several times, and there's really nothing. ”

Lu Xiu's arm hung down.

The space in the cellar was so large that all the places they needed to find had been turned over by them, and even the simple light bulb hanging with a rope above his head, Fu Nanxun tiptoed to check it.

If you can't find it, where else can it hide?

Time flowed quickly, and it seemed to be stretched for a long time, Lu Xiu closed his eyes slightly, and for a moment it seemed that even the sound of the hands from the clock on the wall had slowed down.

"Perhaps," he blurted out, dismissing his voice, distracting thoughts, "maybe we only need a pointer at all, so we haven't been able to find it?"

Maybe from the beginning, the other pointer didn't exist at all.

Fu Nanxun expressed his opposing opinions categorically: "Are you kidding, Mr. Lu, how can a pointer be laid out at 5:15 and break the pointer?"

Lu Xiu had only formed a rough idea in his mind, but he always felt as if they were very close to the real solution.

It's a pity that time waits for no one.

"Three hundred meters. ”

Fu Nanxun asked in a low voice: "How long is 300 meters?"

"I don't know," Xie Lang replied in a low voice, "but I can only run eight hundred meters for three and a half minutes." ”

Du Zigui said: "I just opened the door and took a look twice, they didn't come in a straight line, plus collective action, they definitely can't move at the same speed as an eight-hundred-meter sprint." ”

He made a rough estimate and continued, "Even in the most optimistic scenario, we have less than three minutes left. ”

What is three minutes enough?

Lu Xiu took a deep breath, his mind was still running rapidly, as long as there was a little more time, just a little more time......

At the same time, I only heard Xu Chunqiu repeat half a sentence softly: "...... Only one pointer?"

She was enlightened all at once.

"I see. ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Chunqiu alone, and before she could say what she thought, Du Zigui took the first step and said: "Teacher Xu, do you have enough time, if not, I'll go out and distract those people." ”

He was ready to go out alone and risk his life to distract those who were pursuing them.

But Xu Chunqiu shook his head: "No." ”

"That's enough time left. ”

I saw that she raised her hand directly, removed the hand fixed to the dial, and inserted it straight back at a different angle.

It wasn't where the hands were supposed to be, the thin sheet of metal and the blank dial surrounded by Roman numerals formed a ninety-degree angle, inserted almost vertically into the dial, and the shape was not like a clock, but like a ......

Sundial!

Fu Nanxun and Xie Lang were still confused, Du Zigui's attention was divided by the situation outside the door, only Lu Xiu understood what she meant.

But here's the problem, there is only one light source in the dimly lit room.

All the light came from the humble light bulb hanging above their heads, and there was only a shadow of the hands inserted vertically into the dial.

And Xu Chunqiu's idea must have at least two light sources to work.

Where are they going to find another light source?

saw her simply open the handbag and found something inside.

"It's ......"

The purple flashlight they got from the Peking Theater!

"Haven't the flashlights and maps been handed over to Zhou Shutong?"

Xu Chunqiu bowed slightly: "It was given to me when Adjutant Jiang sent us over just now." ”

She turned on the flashlight, and the dim yellow top light and the purple flashlight from the rudimentary light bulb hanging from the ceiling cast two shadows on the hands that were inserted vertically into the dial, forming two shadows facing different directions.

Xu Chunqiu adjusted the position of the flashlight, and the angle of the shadow slowly moved to the appropriate position with her movements, and the two shadows actually stopped at the position of "five o'fifteen".

Almost at the same time, the fuel cartridge in Fu Nanxun's hand suddenly sounded.

"There is a response!"

At the same moment when Fu Nanxun said this excitedly, Du Zigui hurriedly reminded.

"There are only a hundred meters left, and they are coming. ”

Time was running out, and a steady stream of water suddenly gushed from the bottom of the fuel canister, and the water surface rose at a considerable rate, and the clear blue liquid filled the fuel canister little by little.

Lu Xiu quickly pressed four times on the password disk of the time machine, and opened the metal door, Fu Nanxun took the lead in striding in, and placed the fuel canister that had been filled with most of the liquid in the groove.

It was still dark in the capsule, and the liquid in the fuel cartridge had not yet reached a sufficient amount to evoke the lighting inside.

"Still not good?"

Xu Chunqiu turned his head and looked: "It's almost there, it's less than twenty percent full." ”

Du Zigui was the only one left outside the cabin door, and he was still standing near the cellar door, and he hadn't had time to come up yet.

"Cuckoo, hurry up!"

Du Zigui no longer guarded the door, and strode towards the time machine.

Almost at the same time, the wooden door leading to the cellar was broken open from the outside.

The black and crushed heads poured in all at once, pushing, shoving, and densely packed, all coming at them.

"Du Zigui!"

He doesn't care about that much.

Fu Nanxun leaned out most of his body from the time machine, and with a stretch of his long arm, he fished Du Zigui back. Just the moment he grabbed Du Zigui, the capsule factory suddenly lit up.

"Filled. Lu Xiu said.

The clear solution in the fuel tank is blue and beautiful.

Fu Nanxun grabbed Du Zigui with one arm and didn't let go, and with the other hand, he brought the door smoothly, blocking countless NPCs outside from the metal door.

The bulky hatch was hit by Fu Nanxun with a loud "bang", and Xu Chunqiu pressed the start button.

The time machine jolted for a while, and they swayed with the moving capsule.

I don't know how long it took to shake violently, and the door opened.
