Chapter 44 - Together in the Boat

"All right, gentlemen, stop! I think we should be in this boat now!" said Lisa. Her face was very pale, and she was panting for breath as she clung to the door frame.

"See, we could all be like her!" Al struggled as he pointed at Lisa and said, "Do you want to kill each other?"

"Alright, let him go, Barney!" Pang said.

Barney followed Pang Jindong's advice, gritted his teeth, and finally let go of Al. Freed, Al clutched his throat and coughed violently. After a while, he bowed down, looked up at Barney viciously, and said, "You will pay!"

"I'll wait!"

Gradually, Pang Jindong felt that among these people, Barney was the most reliable. While Barney was talking to Al, Pang Jindong had already lowered the black man from the wall, looked at his bracelet, and found that his name was Dominic.

Dominic moved his body and said to Pang Jindong, "Thank you!" After speaking, he walked up to Al and said viciously: "White boy, you wait for me!"

Facing the two black men who were five big and three thick, Al flinched a little and muttered, "I knew this was a dangerous person, and he shouldn't be put down......"

The group quickly left Dominic's room, and after walking a little further, a black woman named Lisi joined the group.

Eight people were wearing the same clothes, and they felt the same aches and the same memories.

"Where the hell are we???," Kane looked sane and kept analyzing what was in front of him.

"I can only be sure of one thing right now, we are underground!" Pang Jindong reached out and touched the wall of the passage, and a slimy feeling came.

The air in the hallway was damp and cold, and the clothes on several people looked a little thin, and Meryl hugged her shoulders tightly and kept looking around. She asked, "Why can't I remember who I am?"

"If you suffer a severe head injury, you may lose your memory!" Pang Jindong said, touching his head, "But we have no signs of head injury." And it's impossible for eight people to lose their memories at the same time after being hit!"

Kane said: "We have forgotten our name, our identity, and our entire past life, but we still know how to read, which shows that someone has deliberately erased our memory!"

"Can our memories be restored?" asked Lis, nervously.

"We will only know when we find the truth about this qiē!" replied Pang Jindong.

"It's horrible to have no memories!" Kane said.

"I think that if people can forget the past, it is also a kind of happiness!" Pang Jindong said thoughtfully.

"Well, let's just think we've just been born today!" Kane tried to make himself look more relaxed.

When the group reached the end of the hallway, they found a door. Pang Jindong opened the door and walked in. Inside it looked like an office, messily lined with desks and chairs. What stands out is that there is a white metal box on the ground in the middle of the room. Pang Jindong kicked it with his foot and found that the box was fixed to the ground. The outside of the box is so smooth that there are no handles to open it from the outside.

There were only two doors in the office, and the one that everyone had come in had been locked with iron. Barney used to push hard a few times and found that it wouldn't open.

Just then, a dull voice rang out, "Welcome, Jerry, Kane, Meryl, Lisa, Barney, Al, Lise, and Dominic!"

"Who are you?" the voice caused a great deal of panic among the people in the room, and everyone looked around nervously, but there was no figure in sight.

The owner of the voice seemed to see everyone's actions and said unhurriedly, "I am not with you, but I can see you and let you hear my voice!"

After a pause, the voice continued: "By now, you should have found yourself in a very strange situation, and you were terrified of it!

"Who are you?" Pang Jindong screamed angrily. He scanned every corner of the room, and found no horns or loudspeakers or anything like that, sounds seemed to be coming from all directions.

"Why are you doing this to us, what are you going to do?" the others questioned.

The crowd began to be hysterical in the face of this voice, which may have been behind the scenes, especially Dominic, who kicked over the table, then grabbed a chair and swung it around the room, smashing everything he could see.

But the voice didn't pay any attention to what everyone said, and continued with his own topic: "You will probably still be confused by the qiē in front of you, and that's okay, because soon you will know the answer!

This sentence caused everyone to be even more frightened, and they unconsciously formed a circle, facing outward, nervously watching the movements around them.

The voice added: "You should find yourself sore all over, no strength, dizziness and nausea, and nosebleeds for those who are strict! Now I can sue you because you have been injected with a toxin! In less than five minutes, the toxin will attack and you will die a terrible death! I must warn you that this is a terrible toxin, and you will feel as if you are being crushed under the Alps, and your body will begin to convulse and shrink in pain......

"I'm your mother!" Pang Jindong was finally on the verge of collapse, and scolded at the voice.

"Fortunately for you, there is an antidote in the iron box in front of you, but there are only four pills!" After a pause, the voice continued, "That is, only four of you can continue the journey, and the other four must die! I didn't want to see it, but I had to!"

"Ah~~~!" Lisa let out a scream of pain. She had enough reason to feel hopeless and frightened, and with her current physical condition, she could only be killed by someone else.

But the voice still ignored this, and said coldly, "You are divided into four groups of two, and each group produces one survivor. Jerry and Dominic are in a group, Kane is in a group with Lisa, Meryl is in a group with Lis, and Barney is in a group with Al. Please note that you must determine the survivors according to the group, and if any of you kill someone who is not part of your group, all of you will still not be able to get the antidote. When this qiē is over, the chest in front of you will be opened, allowing you to get what you need most. ”

"To hell with it!" Barney grabbed a chair beside him, rushed to the box, and slammed it down.

The fact that the chair was still able to survive Dominic's fury just now shows that it is very strong. However, as soon as it touched the box, it immediately shattered, and the box itself was unharmed.

Barney threw away the fragments of the chair and kicked it the crate. Barney's feet were planted immediately, and he bent down in pain, and the box didn't even move.

"I must tell you ......" the voice sounded again, in a slightly mocking tone, "if you know the construction of this chest, you will know that any attempt to force open the box is not advisable. However, I have no objection to you making some futile attempts, but I feel the need to remind you that half a minute has passed, which means that you have not much time left. ”

"I'm cāo......" Pang Jindong was about to scold, when his throat was suddenly tightly choked.

Pang Jindong struggled to turn around and found Dominic's hideous face. Dominic's hands were like iron, firmly stuck Pang Jindong's throat, making Pang Jindong unable to break free.

Pang Jindong felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and gradually, his whole body began to feel weak, his brain was blank, and the scene in front of him was slowly blurred.

In the moment before he fell unconscious, Pang Jindong heard the room full of piercing wails and screams, and out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a glimpse of people fighting frantically together. Despite the lack of any weapons, people rely on their hands and feet, and women rely on their teeth and nails, desperately trying to put each other to death.

Suddenly, Pang Jindong came to his senses and firmly told himself: "You can't die like this!"

The incomparable desperation inspired all his strength, and Pang Jindong kicked behind him, hitting Dominic's crotch. Dominic let out a scream of pain and took a few steps back, clutching his vital point. But the situation at this time did not give him time to comfort his injured little brother, he immediately rushed back with his fist and smashed Pang Jindong hard.

Pang Jindong dodged Dominic's punch sideways, then stretched out the index finger and middle finger of his right hand and slammed it into Dominic's eyes.

The feeling was like piercing a balloon that was blowing up a lot, and Pang Jindong's fingers stirred it vigorously a few times before taking it out, and two blood arrows sprayed out.

Dominic let out a scream, covering his eyes that had turned into bloody holes, and staggered around, trying to avoid Pang Jindong, who he could no longer see. Blood spurted from his fingers and splattered onto the ground.

Pang Jindong calmly came behind Dominic and told him: "I saved you, you want to kill me!" After speaking, Pang Jindong wrapped his left arm around Dominic's neck, grabbed his head with his right hand, and then broke it hard. Hearing only a "click", Dominic's body twitched twice and never moved again.
