Chapter 186
It didn't take long for boy No. 1 to walk up the stairs on his own.
Fortunately, the stairs are not very long, and the No. 1 boy is not short in the first place, and his legs are slender, so it is easy to walk to the second floor.
After arriving on the second floor, boy No. 1 did not rush to continue exploring, but rested on his own.
It's not that he feels tired when he walks up the stairs, it's just that his mind is still a little confused and he hasn't figured out the current situation yet.
"In its current form, it seems impossible to have a solution that wants three people to act together. In this case, everyone will have to fight on their own. Although I can't say that this plan is bad, I always feel that this seems to be in the hands of the owner of the house. It stands to reason that in this dangerous situation, everyone should unite and keep warm, and once they go their separate ways, they are likely to be broken by each other, and there is no power to parry at all......"
Although the No. 1 boy didn't agree with the No. 2 boy's opinion very much in his heart, to be honest, he really couldn't find any argument to refute the other party. After all, the more you try to find a suitable reason, the harder it is to find the answer you want.
But then again, a silo approach isn't entirely unworkable. After all, in this way, everyone's free movement area will be wider, and if so, then everyone will have less places to find, which will greatly increase the efficiency of searching and reduce the time required for action.
But having said that, if you think about it, such a reason is actually quite far-fetched. Not to mention the degree of danger, it is a very large building, even if it is divided into three groups to find it, it is a very energy-consuming thing.
And let's go back to personal safety, if everyone goes to fight on their own, once one of them encounters any dangerous situation, the other two people actually don't have any time to help him at all, because it takes a lot of time to get to the place of the incident, and in this period of time, the other party is likely to have something uncontrollable.
And here, there is no signal from the mobile phone at all, and everyone has no other communication devices that are superfluous, so it is impossible to notify everyone at all.
But that is unlikely to change today. After all, everyone is separated at this time, and if they want to get back together, they can only get together again when everyone has found all the places they want to find, and the rest of the people who are alive can find another person together.
Of course, boy No. 1 is not so obsessed with whether the actions are separate or together. It's a matter of everyone deciding together, and if you return like this now, it's a bit too much to say.
"Eh, forget it, let's look for it on the second floor first. Maybe you'll find some mechanism or clue or something, and you'll be able to get out of here. Thinking so, Boy 1 walked towards the side of the hallway.
Although it was still very dark here, boy No. 1 still did not turn on the flashlight in his hand in line with the principle of saving electricity. Although he felt that there was a good chance that something would happen here that he couldn't have predicted, but then again, even if there were, he wouldn't be too scared. After all, this is just an entertainment venue in the end, and if there are really any injuries, human lives and other incidents, it will really be out of control.
So in line with the principle that even if something really happens, it is not a big deal, the No. 1 boy's pace at this time did not deliberately slow down, but continued to walk towards the darkness ahead at his normal daily speed.
In the dark corridor, nothing strange happened along the way, and in the end, he didn't hear any other strange sounds other than the sound of his own footsteps.
But in this case, he felt that something was wrong in his heart. After all, this corridor is a bit too ordinary compared to the corridor on the first floor just now. Even if it is the corridor that I just walked on the first floor, there will be something strange in the corridor, and now I am walking in the corridor on the second floor, but I have walked for a long time but I have nothing to do, which is indeed very doubtful, whether the other party is deliberately luring himself to keep walking forward, maybe there is a huge trap that is about to appear in front of him.
But even so, the No. 1 boy didn't have any intention of giving up immediately, after all, he had already walked almost 100 meters away, and if he went back now, it would be too timid, plus he didn't find anything along the way, and if what he wanted to find was in the depths of the corridor, wouldn't it be too much of a loss for him to go back now.
So he decided to keep walking, and if he hadn't found anything at the end of the hallway, it wouldn't be too late to turn back.
In this way, boy number 1 kept moving down the hallway, but when he walked a long way, something else happened.
Suddenly, an exclamation came from the corridor in front of him, and at first Boy No. 1 was only slightly stunned, because this voice actually sounded a little familiar at first glance, as if he had heard it there before. But then, after being stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly reflected, isn't this the scream of the No. 5 boy who was left at the staircase on the first floor by everyone just now?
Thinking of this, the heart of boy No. 1 jumped suddenly. Because of this, it is very likely that the No. 5 boy who was left on the first floor by the two of them just now is in danger at this time. It's not that Boy No. 1 thinks that Boy No. 5 is coming back with something, but judging by this cry, Boy No. 5 does seem to have seen something very bad.
But then again, there is another thing that makes the No. 1 boy particularly puzzled, because the original No. 5 boy should have been on the first floor, but now his position is on the second floor, and the No. 5 boy's exclamation also came from the depths of the corridor on the second floor, so doesn't it mean that the No. 5 boy actually let him bypass himself and run to the second floor without his knowledge? If you think about it this way, there are still many places that are difficult to explain.
But things have already happened, and if you think about it so much, you can't solve the problem, and until now, you can only know if it's true or false if you go forward and see it with your own eyes.
But having said that, of course, Boy No. 1 is not a fool either, and naturally thought of the possibility that this could be a trap. So instead of moving at the same speed as before, he deliberately slowed down.
As he began to move forward in the hallway again, the atmosphere in the hallway gradually became more and more eerie. In fact, it is not the psychological effect of the No. 1 boy that is at fault, but the surrounding environment that affects the mood of the No. 1 boy at this time.
In the corridor where the visibility was okay, it wasn't enough that he couldn't see anything without turning on the flashlight, but gradually, he noticed that the corridor was starting to get darker and darker.
This level of blackness is really not the usual black, but a pitch black as if it has fallen into ink. It's really the kind of black that you can't see clearly without turning on the flashlight.
So, boy No. 1 now has to compromise and turn on the flashlight function on his mobile phone. It's not that he finally gave up saving electricity, but he felt that if he didn't turn on the flashlight again, he would probably get lost before he could touch anything.
But even if he turned on the flashlight, in fact, with the current situation, this is just a drop in the bucket. Because the light of the flashlight is not a strong light after all, even if it can illuminate a small part of the surroundings, it is difficult to illuminate all the places in front of you. Of course, it's nice to be able to illuminate a small area around you.
The speed of boy No. 1 began to slow down again at this time, and he was already many times slower than his own speed just now. After all, I am constantly moving forward in this dark environment, and if I really go too fast, then I am very likely to have an accident.
Boy No. 1 seemed to have fallen into a pool of stagnant water at this time, and was a little overwhelmed by the oppressive atmosphere around him. But fortunately, his psychological quality is not bad at this time, and the psychological defense line has been almost built before he goes upstairs, even if he encounters such a situation at present, he will not immediately become panicked.
However, just as Boy No. 1 was moving forward with ease, a very surprising situation happened to him. At the moment when he lit up the road under his feet, he seemed to see something very strange, and he kept lying on his stomach in front of him. With his own footsteps, he has been moving forward frequently.
Because he was very curious about what was in front of him, Boy No. 1 couldn't help but speed up his progress. It can be said that now he is also out of the way, he really doesn't care so much, he really wants to know what it is now, he has been messing around him.
He wanted to see what the hell was sacred enough to make the hallway look like this.
However, things did not go as he wished, because the speed of the thing in front of him seemed to start to increase as the number one boy continued to increase, and they kept a distance that did not change even if the number one boy tried.
