Chapter 13: The Labyrinth
The sky is overcast, and there are gusts of cold wind blowing in the abandoned city, and the weather has gradually cooled down in the past few days, but I don't know if the climate will suddenly have another convulsion. The sound of the whirring wind in the empty streets always seems quieter at times like these.
Under the leadership of Rhubarb, a group of people ran on the streets, this is a veritable empty city, there are no zombie attacks, and there are no mutated animals and plants attacking them, but it makes people a little trance. It gives the impression that this is not the end of the world, but a lost old city.
After turning around, Rhubarb finally stopped, circled around, and the people behind him also gasped slightly. This should be a suburban community, and just now such a thought flashed in my heart, and Rhubarb ran away again.
With a bang, the ground under the feet of the people who followed it suddenly became empty again, and they couldn't dodge and fell one after another, and a few wails came from below for a while. Unfortunately, I was thrown again for two days in a row, but this time it was no longer pitch black. He rubbed his buttocks, which had borne the weight of his body in close contact with the ground, and frowned as if looking ahead.
It's okay not to look at it, but when I looked at it, everyone looked at the front motionless in shock. Beneath the city was such a huge labyrinth that they could see some of the overlapping passages just from the outside, and they didn't know what it was like to actually enter it. Are they really going in, though?
People are more or less nervous when faced with the unknown, and if they enter the maze and can't get out, it's not fun.
While everyone was still wandering, Rhubarb was extremely excited, but it didn't have much bottom in its heart like everyone else, and it was anxiously spinning in circles.
Ye Yiran's heart moved, he didn't see how much Rhubarb cared about when he picked those fruits yesterday, but now he ...... Is there something in there that is worth its nervousness? It's just that he himself is not sure that he will be able to get out of this labyrinth, and he hesitates for a while.
At this time, everyone had already retreated in their hearts, and it was only up to who would make the request to leave first. Ye Yiran obviously also saw everyone's thoughts, and he was embarrassed in his heart, the appearance of rhubarb made him really can't help but care about what was in it, but after all, this was just his guess, and there was no evidence that there were good things in it.
At this time, Fang Huiru was the same as him, and she also thought that there must be something in it that would attract rhubarb, but she didn't have Ye Yiran's entanglements. Seeing that everyone had the idea of leaving, he turned his head to look ahead, "Aren't we going in?" ”
Since she and Ye Yiran separated, Lan Rui could be said to be uncomfortable looking at her in various ways, and when he heard her ask like this, he sneered, "Are you an idiot, you didn't see a maze ahead, if you go in, are you sure we won't get lost in it?" ”
Ye Yiran frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, and set his eyes on Fang Huiru.
Although it was a question, Fang Huiru could still hear the sarcasm in the other party's words, but when she thought that he was just a teenager, if it weren't for the fact that she was still a junior high school student in the last days, she wouldn't have the cheekiness to worry about children. swept through everyone, and it seemed that although they didn't say it, the other two people also thought the same way, so they had no choice but to explain: "But even if we don't go in, we have no other way to go." Now we don't even know where we are, and we can't find a place to leave, so why not try to break in? Maybe the other end of this maze is the exit. ”
The rest of the people looked at each other, and it was rare that they had nothing to say, indeed, with their current situation, there was indeed no other way. Ye Yiran laughed even more after hearing this, because he was worried that he would not be able to get out of the maze, so he subconsciously thought about whether he could get out, but he didn't even think of this most basic question, they had no second way to go now.
Several people discussed to no avail, and in the end, they could only and had to pass through this maze, but everyone had no experience with this, and they all turned their heads to look at Ye Yiran.
Ye Yiran shook his head, also with a sad expression, "I have no choice, the first time I go through the maze." ”
Thinking of the person who proposed to enter the labyrinth, everyone turned their expectant eyes to Fang Huiru again.
Fang Huiru suddenly felt Alexander, wiping the cold sweat that didn't exist, "Hehe, I haven't even walked out of a labyrinth game." Or what kind of left-hand rule do you use? ”
"Are you sure we're not going to go around in one place?" Lan Rui looked at her with disdain, and thought that there was any good way, he had tried this method when he was playing games before, but he didn't succeed, but he couldn't say it, it was too embarrassing.
This stinky boy, can you say it well. Just thinking of this maze, Fang Huiru sighed with regret: "Hey, if only I could jump on it and see what this maze is like." ”
When everyone heard this, they looked up at the top of the maze, and directly covered the top of the wall, and they were silent, who built this maze, it was too lacking in virtue.
Fang Huiru drew a few black lines on her head, and she just said casually, if she wanted her to honestly find the exit of the maze, she had to collapse, scratching her head a little irritably, "Can you directly destroy this place?" ”
Everyone suddenly looked at her in unison, "Look, why are you looking at me......"
"If there is no accident, if the labyrinth is destroyed, this place should also collapse." As he spoke, Ye Yiran pointed to the top of the wall above, "Forget it, let's go in first, we can't go out if we stay here, we can always think of a way." ”
After saying this, Ye Yiran was the first to take the lead and walked over, looking back at everyone. Rhubarb was the first to rush to him, stayed by his side honestly, and did not run in without permission. Several others hesitated and followed.
Fang Huiru was silent, she was worried about what she was doing, with him, he would definitely let everyone go out. Bowing his head and smiling, although he can't be with him anymore, it's always inexplicably reassuring to have him there. The corners of his mouth curled, and he walked over with his feet raised.
After walking into the labyrinth, Ye Yiran took out a charcoal pen and scratched it on the wall, which was regarded as making a mark, "Let's try it this way first." As he spoke, he walked towards the right hand.
After carefully observing his most marks, Fang Huiru complained in her heart, saying that what did he put in the space, even charcoal. But after thinking about it, on the surface, he still looks honest, obediently walking behind him.
Along the way, Ye Yiran didn't know how many markers he had made, but after walking for half a day, he found that they had really turned back to one of the markers. Look closely, the mark they made when they turned the sixth turn. Don't ask him why he would know that each of his marks is different and marked regularly according to the number of strokes.
As time went on, the crowd didn't know how many times they had gone around, but when they saw the familiar marks on the wall, they could still realize that they had come around again. Everyone began to wonder in their hearts, whether they could really get out, they were already unsure. If everyone was able to have the confidence to go out at first, but after going around a few times, they vaguely felt that they might not be able to go out. A sense of panic began to spread among the crowd.
Ye Yiran thought back to the road they had walked, and saw that everyone's will had begun to waver, and knew that the current situation was not good, so he simply asked everyone to rest on the spot first, and then took out a piece of paper and a pen, spread it directly on the ground and began to sketch. Gradually, as the lines on the paper increased, a simple figure appeared on the paper, and if you looked closely, you could see that the lines on it were exactly the same as the route they had taken.
