When the first rays of sunlight shone into the greenhouse in the morning, the thick dark green in the eyes gradually faded and brightened, diluted into a bright emerald green by the blurred and bright light.

The ceiling lights flickered a few times before going out, but the room grew brighter and brighter. The bright reflection on the tip of the leaf is like a diamond that has been placed high in the air, shining so brightly that no one can open it. As the outside temperature rises, the airtight greenhouse gradually gets hotter; When No. 46 climbed onto the leaf where the meeting point was located, the first thing he saw was Lin Sanjiu lying on the root of the leaf, with a piece of grass in his mouth that he had picked up out of nowhere, and a purple flower larger than a human head beside him.

"When did you come back?" Number 46 rubbed his sore thighs and asked in surprise. He thought he was back early enough - "Where did you find the flowers?" I searched for a whole night and found nothing. ”

"I'll be back before dawn." Lin Sanjiu answered, took the grass down, and sat up. No. 46 wanted to say something, but when he caught a glimpse of her appearance, he immediately frowned: "...... What happened? ”

Lin Sanjiu raised his eyelids and patted the leaves: "You sit down first." ”

Number 46's face grew serious—his bangs seemed to be longer, covering half of his face when he bowed his head; But even from the corners of his tightly pursed mouth, you could see that he was alert.

"Before I tell you, I want to ask, what did you discover this night?"

"No, it's very strange." No. 46 sighed heavily, "I've walked a lot, not to mention the purple flowers, and I haven't even seen anyone - it's very unreasonable. ”

"And what do you think?"

“…… Something isn't right. While thinking, Number 46's voice naturally calmed down. I have analyzed the situation while walking outside, and there are only two possibilities - one is that there is only a fixed number of purple flowers, and they have all been picked at present, so no one else comes out to look for them; The second is that the growth of purple flowers was controlled by other groups by some means. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the current situation. ”

Lin Sanjiu nodded, "Did you find anything else?" ”

"There's also something weird." Number 46 tilted his head and narrowed his eyes. When it comes to saying this. He seemed to be trying his best to suppress the myriad thoughts that had flooded up for a moment. He whispered, "...... No one came to attack me. ”

The situation of No. 46 really corresponded to the words of the bald head one by one.

"That's because there's no need for them to attack us now......" Lin Sanjiu smiled in a heavy tone.

"What do you mean by that?"

She sighed softly, trying to cheer herself up. Told No. 46 about his entire conversation with the bald head.

Unexpectedly. After Lin Sanjiu's voice fell. Although No. 46's face was very pale, he didn't look shocked.

After a while, he let out a deep breath. He opened his mouth softly: "...... In this way, the matter makes sense. ”

"What do you think? Is this really a dead end? ”

"Impossible." No. 46 didn't think about it, and denied this statement in one bite: "...... While it seems that the fifth group is at the bottom of the pack right now, there must be something hidden by Harry, and we just didn't think about it for a while. After all, I've been through so many post-apocalyptic worlds and I've never heard of a single dungeon that is truly deadgame; I really can't do it, and there's a way to kill everyone-"

At this point, he paused, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Harry! I'd like to ask you to confirm this whole thing. ”

"You say."

"First of all, I want to confirm whether the information about the number of other groups mentioned by the bald head, as well as the current score ranking of our groups, is true?"

Although this is information that Lin Sanjiu has already confirmed, it is obvious that No. 46 must listen to it with his own ears once before he can rest assured.

"I can't disclose the number of people in each group, but the current absorption ranking of each of your groups is true."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Number 46 paused for a moment, seemingly struggling to digest the sentence for a while.

“…… Is the absorption ranking based on the total amount absorbed by the whole group, or is it based on the individual? ”

"Oh, let me give you an analogy." Harry replied very seriously, "Your fifth group is absorbing 150 micrograms per person per day at this moment - then the ranking is based on this 'real-time per capita absorption'. Of course, five minutes later, two hours, or tomorrow, your absorption will change, but it doesn't matter; What really determines life and death is your 'real-time per capita absorption' at seven o'clock in the evening of the tenth day. After all, if you rank according to the total number of people absorbed by the whole group, it will be unfair to the group with a small number of people. ”

Does this guy really have the face to say that it's unfair or not?

Lin Sanjiu's forehead jumped, and he immediately couldn't help but speak: "Is this situation fair to our fifth group now?" ”

"Of course." Harry immediately replied without hesitation, "I have arranged for you to enter the greenhouse in this order after carefully considering the situation in each region. ”

"Unless we kill everyone, our fifth group will all be a death." Lin Sanjiu finally couldn't help it, and sneered heavily, "...... Is this called fairness? ”

"Oh, of course the overall situation is fair, but you probably haven't noticed it yet." Harry's voice sounded a little aggrieved: "I don't know why you think of me as so evil, in fact, there is a way to be undead in every level...... It's just that you chose not to do it. ”

Lin Sanjiu's face flushed when she was about to say something more, and the blades under her suddenly moved slightly, and then they vibrated with the footsteps that were getting closer and closer.

No. 46 looked up with her and found that it was No. 45, who had just climbed back along the branches. and the whirring No. 47, the two of them seemed to have met near the meeting point, and nodded to each other in greeting, before No. 45 turned around and asked, "...... What's wrong? I heard it halfway through, what are you asking Harry, why is he all looking like this? ”

Lin Sanjiu glanced at their backs and found that they were also empty, and his heart couldn't help but sink slightly.

…… What the bald head told her seemed to be being confirmed little by little.

"Oh, you've found a purple flower!" No. 45's gaze swept behind Lin Sanjiu, and he suddenly screamed; Only she took two steps forward. Stopped by Number 46 - she glanced at Number 46. His face was not very good-looking, and he stopped.

"No. 49 heard the news that the four growth points of the purple flower are now under control." No. 46 swept the two people in front of him with a serious face: "...... Did you find anything out there? ”

"Growth, growth point?" While No. 45 shook his head, No. 47 opened his mouth sharply without breathing: "When you say that, I, I do." Bright. I see! ”

Lin Sanjiu and No. 46 couldn't help but look uplifted.

Probably the body is still weak. No. 47 coughed vigorously twice, and then said in the anxious eyes of several people: "...... My physical strength was so poor, although I took a break for a while. But when I went out to look for the purple flowers, I still couldn't walk, so I had to move slowly along the way. After looking for a while, I was so tired that I sat down in a bush of leaves to rest - and I climbed into the top leaf for safety. ”

"After sitting for a while, I unconsciously took a nap. When I awoke, I found that I could not go down - for the plant was down, and at some point a man came, sitting with his back to me; Since the man was wearing a loose hoodie, it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. ”

"I have neither physical strength nor purple flowers, and if I go down, I will seek death, so even if I am in a hurry, I can only sit on it and wait for the man to leave. But the wait was until morning, and the man didn't even move—I came back late because I had waited an hour before. I really didn't know what to do, but just as I was about to venture away, the man suddenly stood up and bent down again. ”

Lin Sanjiu just wondered why he couldn't even explain this small detail clearly, and then suddenly took a breath of enlightenment-

Glancing at her, No. 47 nodded: "...... You also think that the man plucked a purple flower from the ground. ”

"When I first went, there wasn't anything on the ground. The man obviously knew that the purple flowers would grow from there, so he went over and waited in advance! "I was strange, but when you say that, I understand that there must be a growing point; I still remember the road, we can cross it at any time! ”

- Found a purple flower growing spot!

Lin Sanjiu only felt that the heart in his chest thumped twice, and he was a little excited for a while; Anyway, her disadvantage had changed a little - she thought of this, and subconsciously glanced at No. 46 beside her.

…… No. 46's face was covered with a layer of gloomy ice.

It looked like his face was even more ugly than when he was told it was a dead end.

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then No. 45 and No. 47 also noticed the subtle heaviness in the air, and set their eyes on No. 46, both with a confused face.

"What's wrong? Isn't that a good thing? ”

Number 46 opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something; However, his lips trembled a few times, but no sound came out. After a while, he wiped his face vigorously and asked a clueless sentence.

"Harry, what time is it?"

"Ten o'clock in the morning." Harry's voice answered immediately.

"That is, the purple flowers grow around nine o'clock in the morning -- and our fifth group enters the greenhouse at about five or six o'clock in the evening; If you go back, the first group should be around nine o'clock in the morning, or even before......" No. 46 kept muttering in a low voice, almost so that Lin Sanjiu next to him couldn't hear what was behind him.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" She asked, confused.

Number 46 turned a deaf ear and ignored her at all; He just took a deep breath and asked softly, as if looking for comfort, "...... Growth of purple flowers. Even if it's timed, it shouldn't be a long time apart, right? After all, this is a dungeon, so it's going to give us a way to live, right? ”

In the end, his expression was even faintly frightening.

"Well," Harry said briskly, "...... Each growing point, at the same time within 24 hours, will produce a purple flower. As for the exact location, you will have to find it yourself, and I can't disclose it. ”

No. 46 sat down on the ground with a "bang" along the stem, staring blankly at his feet.

"It's over. I guessed right......" He glanced at Lin Sanjiu. "You should have thought of that, right?"

Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, and his face turned pale.

“…… Even if we could occupy that growing point. Between now and the end of the growth period, there are only nine purple flowers left. No matter how well things go well, we can only kill nine people. And since all four growing spots bloom at the same time, we can't get purple flowers from so many places at the same time, even if we know where they are—it's simple. We can't compete with other groups in numbers. That is to say. Kill everyone but us. It's simply an impossible road. Number 46 smiled bitterly and muttered.

"But...... Why are we killing everyone? ”

Since they came late, No. 45 and No. 47 did not know the cause and effect. Glancing at each other, No. 47 couldn't help but ask. It's just that the other two people each had a heavy look on their faces, and neither of them opened their mouths to explain for a while.

"You're talking—"

No. 45's urging was only half spoken, and he suddenly felt a shadow on his head; Before she could look up to see what was going on, the shadow had already fallen straight down, enveloping her and the two of them 47.

No. 45 suddenly let out a half-exclaimed cry from his throat, and was about to turn around to dodge, but he didn't expect a gust of wind to suddenly rise behind him; In the confusion, she barely saw what was going on around her, and she felt as if she had inadvertently kicked something away.

When she rushed to the other side of the blade, she turned around and couldn't help but be stupid.

"This little brother, your analytical skills are good."

This voice was very familiar to several people - the man standing at the edge of the leaf at this time, wearing a martial arts vest, was the one who called No. 48 to die as soon as he came; Behind him, four other strange men and women stood, each with a rope wrapped around their waists, reaching upwards into the depths of the foliage beyond the reach of the eye.

It seems that this is why they were able to carry out the surprise attack without being noticed by the fifth group in the first place, but somehow, none of the five people in the fourth group had purple flowers on their bodies.

A smile appeared on the square, angular face of the man at the head.

“…… That's right, in the current situation, you can't turn the tide at all. We came this time just to get an insurance; With that, your fifth group will indeed be at the bottom for us. ”

After speaking, he shook the number 47 in his hand who had been caught by the collar of his clothes at some point.

"Otherwise, if you all commit suicide or die at the hands of other groups, we won't be able to do it." (To be continued.) )
