Chapter 444-446: Hell Cage

The moment the lights were turned on, a figure ran up the stairs.

I heard the cabinet board 'bang!' There was a loud bang, and then footsteps appeared above everyone's heads.

"Damn! Close the door! Li Teng scolded.

The cabinet board was smashed, and the heat wave in the room above instantly fell down.

The man at the door hurriedly closed the door.

"No, the hole in the top of the head is still pouring heat down there!" Daisy, who was standing directly below the hole, pointed to the top of her head.

Above the basement, the living room of the house above, Daisy had found a hole under her feet, and now she was standing under it.

There are a few horizontal pipes on the ceiling, iron water pipes from old houses.

The fist-sized hole was between two pipes, spitting hot air downward.

"If it's so hot, sooner or later I'll die!" Huang Xun kept wiping his sweat.

"There's another door over there!" Goofy pointed to the other wall opposite the door in which he had entered.

Li Teng had also seen it, and was pushing and pulling the door hard at this time.

It's a pity that it's locked, locked from the outside.

And it's a metal door, and you can't kick it open even if it's locked on the outside.

"The temperature will go up to 1,000 degrees, and the hole will have to be plugged! Otherwise, the temperature in the basement will rise sooner or later! Aisha looked at the hole above her head and kept wiping her sweat.

"It's useless, if you can't escape, just by the door and the floor overhead, the heat will still penetrate sooner or later, and the basement will become oven sooner or later. I have an idea, but I need your help. The newcomer, the middle-aged actor, spoke.

"What's the idea? Say it! Gao Fei urged the middle-aged man.

"I've installed air conditioners before, and just now I saw an old air conditioner cabinet in that storage room, with all the external units, internal units, copper pipes, and cables! There happens to be an outlet in this room, if you help me, I will try to install the air conditioner in ten minutes! The machine can be placed in the hall above, and the hole is just right to pass through the pipe! The middle-aged man quickly replied to Goofy.

"How can we help? Say it. Li Teng felt that it was worth a try.

"Let's talk as we go! You guys help me move the internal machine to this basement and move the external machine to the living room! I'm going to intubate! Then connect the two sides! The middle-aged man opened the door to the stairs in the basement while talking to Li Teng and the others.

After opening the door, a wave of heat rushed in, and the temperature had apparently risen to more than 40 degrees!

Li Teng hurriedly called Huang Xun and Gao Fei to follow behind the middle-aged man.

The cabinet leading to the bedroom had been smashed.

But the people no longer care whether the ninth person who appeared earlier is a human or a ghost, and they don't care that 'it' may appear in the house above.

didn't even have time to confirm that the new actress's name was Zhang Ningning or Qi Yufei.

If you don't find a way to lower the temperature in the basement as soon as possible, everyone will have to die.

Under this threat of death, all demons and monsters have to be put in second place.

Li Teng led people to rush into the storage room, first helped the middle-aged man put the air conditioner outside the small hole in the living room floor, and then rushed to the bedroom wooden cabinet with the air conditioner on his back, Gao Fei and Huang Xun drilled over first, and then caught the cabinet handed over by Li Teng, and the three of them quickly carried the cabinet into the basement together.

Several women reached out and caught the middle-aged man's pipe that had been stuffed through a hole in the ceiling.

After a while, the middle-aged man also ran down, opened the cover of the lower half of the old-fashioned cabinet machine, and used the wrench and other tools he found in the storage room to connect the low-pressure pipe and the high-pressure pipe to the inner machine respectively.

Then, he took the cable in his hand and began to be in a daze.

"What's going on?" Li Teng asked the middle-aged man.

"There are seven interfaces of 12345LN on this, and one of these wires is a four-port and one is a two-port one, and the color is not right...... Forget it, I'll go up and connect the pipe first, and then I'll work on this line! The middle-aged man said and turned and ran towards the stairs.

Li Teng hurriedly chased after him.

Because of the constant opening and closing of the door, the temperature in the basement has also risen, and soon it is approaching forty degrees.

Everyone was sweating profusely.

After the middle-aged man ran back to the hall above, he quickly connected the pipe, first unscrewed the high-pressure pipe, and after ten seconds of gas, he quickly screwed on the low-pressure pipe, and then opened the valve of the low-pressure pipe and the high-pressure pipe.

Li Teng found a piece of paper and used it as a fan to fan the middle-aged man.

After getting the pipes in order, the middle-aged man began to study the cables.

"! The air conditioners are all 1234LN, what the hell is this fifth money? And there is no LN here, there is only one zero wire, six interfaces for the external machine, seven interfaces for the internal unit, and only six wires......" The middle-aged man muttered.

"You're not an air conditioner professional, are you?" Li Teng feels that wiring should not be difficult for professionals.

"No, I just pretended to be myself." The middle-aged man looked a little embarrassed.

"Connect the 12345 of the external machine and the 12345 of the internal machine?" Li Teng tried to suggest a few words.

"No, 1 is L, 2 is N, 134 is the line of fire, I don't know what this 5 is about...... Over here...... Over here...... This flower wire should be the zero line...... Oh! That's right! These two are 1 and 2, and the remaining three are connected to 345, and there is a zero wire! That's how it should be! The middle-aged man quickly connected the line.

When he stood up, the middle-aged man stumbled and almost fell, and Li Teng hurriedly reached out to help him.

"It's too hot, and my body is a little weak." The middle-aged man smiled apologetically.

Li Teng hurriedly took him to the wooden cabinet, went down to the stairs through the broken cabinet, the current room temperature was over fifty degrees, and if the air conditioner was not turned on, all of them would die of heat inside.

The middle-aged man walked to the cabinet, but his face turned pale and he almost fainted on the ground.

When I went downstairs, everyone in the basement was so hot that they were sweating and their clothes were soaked.

"There's a water pipe here! Let him drink some water first! Aisha gestured to the corner.

Just now they found a water pipe half a meter high in the corner of the wall, and after unscrewing the gate, water flowed out of it, and they all drank the water from the pipe.

Li Teng helped the middle-aged man over, unscrewed the sluice gate and fed the middle-aged man some water, the middle-aged man finally eased up a little, Gao Fei and Huang Xun hurriedly helped him to the side of the air conditioner.

Li Teng also squatted down and drank the water from the pipe.

Although the origin of this water is unknown, it is so hot, the body is too dehydrated, and if you don't drink some water, I'm afraid that before the air conditioner is turned on, people will already die.

After drinking the water, Li Teng immediately walked to the locked door again, trying to open the door to see if he could find an escape route.

Chapter 445

The middle-aged man quickly connected the cables of the internal machine, then plugged the plug of the cabinet into the wall socket, and pressed the power and refrigeration buttons on the cabinet panel.

The engine of the cabinet machine spun up.

There was wind blowing out, however, there was no air conditioning.

"Wouldn't it? Out of fluoride? The middle-aged man sighed.

Everyone opened the sluice gate in the corner, poured water on their heads, and then ran to the air outlet of the cabinet to blow the air, so as to relieve some of the heat.

The temperature in the basement room is getting hotter.

"Grass! The pipe is deflated! After some inspection, the middle-aged man found the problem.

One of the copper pipes of the air conditioner was bent so badly that it almost blocked the entire pipe, causing the refrigerant to flow effectively in the pipe.

"Can you get it back?" Huang Xun took a look.

"I can't get it back, and it's likely to break ......," the middle-aged man broke carefully.

"There seem to be cracks in it." Goofy took a look.

"It's not broken yet." The middle-aged man carefully broke it again, and then clamped it with the pliers in his hand.

The air outlet of the air conditioner finally blew out the cold air.

The air conditioning is getting more and more abundant, and the temperature in the basement doesn't seem to be rising anymore.

The crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Teng looked into the basement.

The others also looked into the basement.

There are numbers written on the walls of the basement, the order is random, and the distribution of the numbers on the wall is also random.

There are also numbers on both doors, which are 3 and 4.

The door that came in had the number 3 written on it, and the door opposite had the number 4 written on it.

Li Teng walked over and kicked the door with the number 4 written on it, but he couldn't open it.

He even started kicking the walls, trying to see if he could find a weak point, open a secret passage or something.

All in vain.

The temperature in the upstairs room continued to rise.

Judging from the time, it is already more than 60 degrees, and it is gradually approaching 70 degrees.

The temperature of 70 degrees is enough to burn and steam.

The engine of the air conditioner roared from the upper floors, which could be heard through the floor.

There is cold air from the air conditioner in the basement, and the temperature is still only in the thirties. But the metal door that approached the staircase was already burning from the inside.

Everyone in the basement had a frightened look on their faces, worried that the old air conditioner, especially the engine of the outside unit, would collapse at any time under the effect of the external heat.

Once the air conditioner fails, the basement will quickly become as hot as the room above.

They will be roasted alive in the basement.

died a painful death, and after returning to the film and television city, he will be sealed by wax because of the deduction of 1000 points.

It's just miserable.

"What's your name with these two newcomers?" Li Teng couldn't open the door and asked the new man and woman.

"Hu Bo." The middle-aged man replied to Li Teng.

"What about you?" Li Teng looked at the thirty-year-old woman.

Everyone also looked at the woman together, because of the heat, the situation had been very urgent, and no one paid attention to her. Now that the situation has finally stabilized, everyone also wants to know what happened when they reported the numbers before, when they reported the numbers before, there were two voices.

"Qi Yufei." The woman gave her name.

"That is to say, that Zhang Ningning was originally in this basement, and it is likely to be another unjust case, if we want to escape, I'm afraid we have to find some clues related to her." Li Teng analyzed.

Everyone else felt that Li Teng's analysis was very reasonable.

But now is obviously not the time to look for clues, the door by the stairs is already very hot, once the door is opened, the hot air outside blows in, and it can instantly cause serious burns to the people inside.

While blowing the cool breeze of the cabinet, everyone took water from the corner of the wall and poured water on their bodies.

When it was Huang Xun's turn, he twisted the sluice, and as a result, the sluice was unscrewed, and the water pipe buried in the wall sprayed water directly into the room.

"Alas! Do you have a brain? Why are you so careless? Why do you use so much effort? Gao Fei complained to Huang Xun.

"Can I be blamed for that? I really didn't have much strength! I just touched it and it broke! Huang Xun looked helpless.

"Why do other people keep it? Until you break it? Shouldn't you summarize your reasons? Goofy continued to complain.

"It's broken, it's broken! The water is quite cool and can help us cool down. Huang Xun smiled.

Soon everyone felt that something was not right.

There is no drainage in the basement room!

After the water from the hose continued to spray out for a while, the water in the room quickly flooded everyone's ankles.

Moreover, the two doors in the basement room are all alloy doors, and they are also sealed doors!

After the water accumulated in the room, the door that came in was also locked! No matter how hard you try, you can't push it away!

If the water in the pipes keeps spraying, sooner or later the entire basement will be filled!

"That's good! You're going to kill them all! Gao Fei glared at Huang Xun.

"This, this, this...... Can I be blamed for this? Look at this rusty pipe, and with such a large water pressure, it will break sooner or later! Huang Xun wanted to cry without tears.

"Anyway, everyone saw that you broke the water pipe, you evil spirit!" Goofy continued to accuse.

"Everyone, did I break this pipe? What's in it for me if I break this pipe? I don't want to drown myself, do I? Huang Xun explained to the others.

"Who knows? Maybe you have a separate mission, like killing everyone or something. Anyway, you've always been very strange, and whoever you hold dies is not a day or two. Aisha fell into the well and said a few words.

"He's a poisoned milk, whoever follows him is unlucky." Gao Fei concluded.

“……”

While the three of them were arguing, the surging water gradually stopped.

"Congratulations to the guinea pigs, you've survived the warming crisis."

"Next, there is a prize Q&A session."

"I'll come up with a quiz question, and any of your eight guinea pigs will be rewarded for saying the answer within ten seconds.

"If no guinea pig says the correct answer after ten seconds, the water level in the basement room will rise by ten centimeters.

"If you want to live, you have to listen carefully!"

The shrill voice sounded again.

"What is the reward for getting it right?" Huang Xun hurriedly brought it up.

It doesn't seem fair to say the punishment for a wrong answer, but not the reward for a correct answer.

"The reward after answering correctly is, of course, that the water level does not rise!" A sharp voice replied to Li Teng.

"Does that count?" Huang Xun expressed dissatisfaction.

"Listen up!

"Question 1: What is the name of the wife of the European Renaissance dramatist William Shakespeare?

Chapter 446

"The countdown begins, ten, nine......"

Everyone looked at each other.

This kind of question can only be answered if you look it up on the Internet, right? Who is bored to memorize the answer to such a question?

"I know! It's Sha Qiang! Goofy gave an answer at the last second.

Everyone shook their heads, and then gave Gao Fei a thumb up.

This brain hole......

It's too unscored.

"Wrong, the water level has risen by ten centimeters!" A shrill sound rang out, and at the same time, a large amount of water spurted out of the pipes, and the water level in the basement rose from the ankles of the people to the lower calves.

The middle-aged man hurriedly rushed over and unplugged the air conditioner to avoid an electric shock.

"Question 2: What is a substance that is as hard as a brick, but after soaking in water for one minute, it becomes as soft as foam board?"

"Tea bricks?" Liu Yin tried to answer the question.

"Wrong, the water level has risen by ten centimeters!" A shrill sound rang out, and at the same time, the water level in the basement rose from the lower to the upper calves.

"The third question: A woman has married ten men, and each time she takes the initiative to file for divorce, typing an idiom." The shrill voice asked again.

"Chaos at the beginning and abandonment at the end!" Huang Xun immediately replied.

The others nodded, this answer should be correct, right?

"Wrong, the water level has risen by ten centimeters!"

The water level in the basement rose from the upper calves of the crowd to above the knees.

"I won't answer don't rob indiscriminately, it should be 'all the work done'!" Li Teng stroked his forehead.

Everyone suddenly realized that Li Teng's answer was right!

"Question 4: There is a door that can't be opened, but it can be opened after half an hour, what is it?"

Huang Xun didn't answer, and glanced at Li Teng.

"Timer valve?" Li Teng was blind.

"Wrong, the water level has risen by ten centimeters!"

“……”

"Question 5: Where is the origin of watermelon?"

"Africa, right?" Li Teng continued to be blind.

"Congratulations! Question 6, where are the potatoes originated? ”

"Europe?" Li Teng followed Meng.

"Wrong, the water level has risen by ten centimeters!"

"Hey! Isn't that right? If you answer correctly, you won't drop the water level, and if you answer wrong, the water level will rise, and sooner or later we will drown! Huang Xun protested.

"That's right! You can't play like that, can you? Goofy protested.

Li Teng easily got one question right, and immediately came up with the next question, what is the difference between this and not answering correctly?

The "seventh question......" The sharp voice ignored the protests of the crowd and continued to ask questions.

Li Teng didn't answer anymore, he swam to the wall with the number 2 written on it and looked at it carefully, letting the others answer casually.

Occasionally, someone will answer correctly, but none of them can change the water level to rise little by little.

When the water reached the socket, the electric switch jumped, and the basement became dark, and you couldn't see your fingers.

The shrill voice still continues to ask question after question.

The water level continued to rise, gradually submerging the necks of the crowd and then the heads of the people.

The crowd reached out and grabbed the water pipe above, and then watched as the water level continued to rise after one problem after another.

Soon the water level flooded the pipes, leaving less than 20 centimeters from the ceiling.

"This director is perverted! What script is used? Is that how we were wiped out? ”

"Boss Li! What to do? Just wait for death? ”

"Help! I don't want to die! I don't want to be sealed in wax! ”

“……”

"Question 24: What virus is called a protein virus?"

"Prions!" Li Teng answered the question.

"Congratulations! Question 25: What is the diameter of a giant virus? ”

No one answered.

"Go to the ghost of Nima!" Li Teng couldn't answer.

"Wrong!"

The water level has risen by another 10 centimeters.

It's only ten centimeters from the ceiling.

Everyone had to keep their faces on their backs so that they wouldn't suffocate in the water.

"Don't rush to answer the questions that you can't get later, and answer the questions that you can get accurate, and then answer them when the countdown is almost over. If you get the last question wrong, everyone breathes hard! Don't loosen your hand on the water pipe! Face up as much as possible! Li Teng shouted a few words to everyone.

"Does it make sense? Take one more breath and die two minutes late? Huang Xun lamented.

"You don't have to suck, there's not much air left anyway." Gao Fei replied to Huang Xun with a few words.

"Question 26: Is the beer belly caused by drinking beer?"

"It's not!" Li Teng replied at the end of the countdown.

"Congratulations! Question 27: What animal has five legs? ”

"Freaks!" Li Teng continued to wait for the countdown to end before answering.

"Congratulations! Question 28: After encountering a ghost, how can you make it not kill you? ”

"Don't do anything wrong!" Li Teng still answered before the end of the countdown, and successfully dragged on for more than ten seconds.

"Wrong, the water level has risen by ten centimeters!"

"Damn!" The water level continued to rise, and Li Teng took a few sharp breaths, and finally the entire basement was filled with water, and there was no place to breathe.

All were submerged in the water.

It became very quiet all around.

Li Teng counted his pulse, counted more than sixty times, stretched out his foot, and suddenly kicked the number 2 on the wall in his memory before the lights went out.

'Poof! ’

There was a muffled sound, and a soft mass was kicked away by Li Teng.

'Wow! ’

The water rushed down where it had been kicked open.

In a short time, the water level quickly dropped to the level where the hole in the wall had been kicked open.

The crowd poked their heads out of the water, escaped death, and gulped for air.

"Yes, yes, the guinea pig has solved my puzzle again and is ready to move on to the next round! Hahahaha......" The shrill voice laughed, making people's eardrums very uncomfortable.

After the shrill laughter stopped, several waterproof lamps lit up on the basement ceiling, allowing everyone to see everything around them.

Everyone is still floating on the water, hands on the pipes.

There was an extra hole in the wall next to Li Teng, and the water obviously flowed out from there.

"Who solved the puzzle?" Hu Bo, a middle-aged man, asked. I thought I was going to die and be drowned alive, but I came back to life.

"Who else? It must be our smart and handsome Mr. Li. Aisha replied to the middle-aged man Hu Bo.

"The one who went up with me to fix the air conditioner?" Hu Bo looked around.

"Well, that's him."

"How did you crack it?" Hu Bo looked at Li Teng.

Others are also curious.

I have no clue at all, and I have no clues, and I see the water flooding the entire basement, and I have to think hard to answer the questions, so that if I can solve it, it is too smart!
