Chapter 177: The Road to Survival: Day 2
The next day, I woke up early from my sleep and sat in bed meditating. With the heavy sound of the stone door opening, I, like everyone else, walked out of the room one after another, according to the results of yesterday's discussion, in the next hour, we need to teleport Zhang Chen out.
Several people from Tianyi Sect have great expectations for Zhang Chen, whether they can rescue everyone depends on Zhang Chen's actions today.

Everyone injected spiritual power into the copper ball as agreed, and before leaving, Zhang Chen patted his chest and swore solemnly: "Don't worry, everyone, I will do my best to rescue you all!" ”
In the stone room, there is a lantern-sized copper ball floating above each teleportation array, if the administrator does not lie to us, as long as the remaining nine people inject spiritual power into it, Zhang Chen, who is sitting in the remaining teleportation array, will be teleported out. The reason why it is sitting is because the height of the copper ball is only about half a person, and if you want to enter the teleportation array, you must squat, and only one person can sit down.
Soon, all ten people were ready, and spiritual power was injected into the copper ball, urging the opening of the teleportation array.
The copper ball absorbed the spiritual power, a powerful array energy, causing it to fluctuate violently, and in an instant, the space where the teleportation array was located seemed to be distorted, and the white light kept flickering, which meant that the teleportation array had been successfully opened.
At this moment, there was a dull sound outside the stone room, and it seemed that someone's door was closed again. I wanted to go out and see how the others were doing, but I was worried that stopping the injection of spiritual power at this time would affect the operation of the teleportation array, so I could only wait silently for everything to end in place before making a decision.
After about five minutes, the white light of the teleportation array no longer flickered, but regained its usual dull luster, and a beautiful meal and plenty of water appeared out of thin air, enough for a person to eat for a day. I estimate that this teleportation is officially over here, and Zhang Chen should have been teleported away, right? If I'm not mistaken, the sound of the door closing just now is that Zhang Chen's stone room was automatically closed.
I secretly speculated that when the door opened in the morning, the light of the teleportation array was more obvious than it is now, and the current state is similar to yesterday before the door was closed, perhaps because the teleportation array can only be activated between 8 and 9 o'clock, and the rest of the time it is closed.
The remaining nine people tried to activate the teleportation array again to teleport Xiahou Quan out as agreed, but this time they didn't even react at all, which shows that I am a prophecy, and the teleportation array can indeed only be activated once a day.
The next thing to do is to be patient.
Yesterday we didn't eat for a day, and in such a tense atmosphere, everyone was hungry very quickly, and as soon as they got the food, they began to fill their stomachs, and the food did look very delicious.
Several people who ate relatively quickly walked out of the room one after another, and they immediately noticed that at this time, Zhang Chen's door had been tightly closed, and the dull sound that came from just now came from here.
"Activate the teleportation array, and sure enough, it will activate the mechanism that closes the stone gate, right? In this way, we have no way of knowing what is happening inside the house, what if there is no teleportation at all, and the teleported person is trapped inside......" I thought silently, holding my chin.
Such an event, which is not big or small, did not attract much attention from everyone, and everyone's thoughts were tied at this time
Zhang Chen, if he can succeed, then everyone will be saved, otherwise, it is difficult to imagine what the consequences will be.
And the people, each with his own heart, had no intention of talking, but found an open place to sit quietly, or to stand on the ground. But I wandered around the cave, and yesterday I woke up at night, before I had time to take a closer look at the structure. I looked around the cave and did find several covert cameras and eavesdroppers, as well as a ventilation duct through which the air flowed in, otherwise everyone would have suffocated sooner or later. However, the pipe mouth is so small that even children can't get in.
"Ahh
A sharp scream broke the silence, and everyone heard the sound and found Yan Keke stopped in front of Don Nuo's door, his eyes staring closely into the room, his expression extremely frightened.
Several people who rushed to hear the news were also surprised when they saw the scene in the house.
Don Nuo was lying at the foot of the bed at the moment, his body was motionless, and pools of black blood flowed out of his seven orifices, looking very terrifying. Next to him, there were plates of food that he had knocked over to the ground.
I hurriedly rushed to the front to interview Donno's snort, and then shook my head helplessly.
It is clear that Donno has been poisoned to death!
"Cyanide in food!"
I smelled a bitter almond smell, and from common sense, it must have been a cyanide emanation, indicating that Donno's food had been poisoned. When I came out of the room just now, I passed by Donno's door, and he was still safe and sound at that time, because he ate poisonous food, and died instantly, which was exactly in line with the characteristics of cyanide % instant poison.
"What?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, everyone had eaten the food from the manager just now, and they were immediately terrified.
But everyone has been fine for so long, and they haven't been poisoned, but why is Donno's food highly poisonous?
"Good morning, everyone."
The manager's eerie voice rang out at an inopportune time, and even the timid couldn't help but shiver.
The manager can still speak, which shows that Zhang Chen has not succeeded......
I heard the manager say in an unkind tone: "I'm sorry, I have to punish you for breaking the rules, so I killed the person who first came up with a bad idea yesterday, and I hope you don't make the same mistake in the future." ”
Tang Nuo's death was because he proposed to teleport Zhang Chen out and break the rules?
I was horrified in my heart, if Don Nuo hadn't proposed this plan yesterday, then I would definitely be one of the first people to be killed, Don Nuo's idea was equivalent to indirectly saving me, but today Don Nuo himself was poisoned......
"As for the guy who was teleported in place of the dead, I've made him a real dead man." The manager suddenly sneered, "Hehe, I said, I want to kill you as easily as possible, so don't play tricks with me." I don't have time to watch you all the time, so I'm not very demanding, I just want to see a corpse every morning, and I don't care what you're doing in the cave. As long as I'm satisfied with your performance, all the rest of us will survive. ”
Zhang Chen failed, and was killed by the manager! Hearing this news, everyone was almost desperate, especially the rest of Tianyimen
The three of them, even Zhang Chen are not the opponents of the managers, what should they do, cooperate with the managers to play this game?
"But there is also good news today." The manager's voice was low, and he said again, "There is already a person who died today, so in order to continue the game, so you don't need to kill people today, you just need to wait until tomorrow morning to teleport the corpse out." But I hope this is the last time I'll do it for you, and if you foul again, I'll probably kill more than one person! ”
The manager's voice suddenly became very cold and ruthless, he was giving everyone a disadvantage, warning everyone to stop playing tricks.
After saying this, the manager seemed to disappear and never appeared again.
"Hmph, kill yourself." Xiahou Quan glanced at Tang Nuo's corpse indifferently and left without saying a word, but he forgot that he himself agreed with Tang Nuo's proposal yesterday. Without Zhang Chen and Tang Nuo, Tianyi Gate instantly became a disadvantage in the competition with the Witch Gu Sect, and he also became fearless. I noticed that several people from Tianmen were extremely dissatisfied when they looked at Xiahou Quan.
Now, all hope was shattered, and after I helped the three people of Tianyi Sect move Donno's body to the teleportation array and set it up, the few of them walked back to their stone room worriedly.
"What is this?"
I suddenly noticed a few black spots in the center of the teleportation array, and after closer inspection, I determined that it was the venom of cyanide %, could it be spilled from food?
"Look at the shape of the venom, it's dripping from above." I looked up slightly, and saw that the bottom of the copper ball was also stained with some black stains, right on the spot where the venom teleportation array was dripping.
"It turns out that the poison doesn't come down into the food from the outside, isn't it ......?"
As soon as I discovered this important clue, I heard a fierce quarrel outside the stone room, as if there was a conflict between the two groups of Tianyi Sect and the Witch Gu Sect.
I heard the noise and went into the hall to find that the people of the two sects were arguing fiercely.
"Aren't you witch sects good at poisoning, maybe Senior Brother Tang Nuo was poisoned by you!" Han Song was furious, his two sword eyebrows frowned, and he pointed at the people of the Witch Gu Sect and shouted.
Xiahou Quan snorted coldly and said with great disdain: "Lao Tzu can't poison if he wants to kill people, my witchcraft is enough to defeat you all." ”
Mo En also helped: "Are you Tianyi people all mad dogs, it is obvious that the administrator poisoned the food, don't blame us for everything." ”
"Who knows if you're in league with the administrators?" Han Song was still arguing.
"The gang will still be locked up in a cave?" Mo Yi's upper lip was slightly raised, and his tone was very contemptuous.
"Forget it, Brother Song, we have no evidence." Xiao Ruohui whispered in her boyfriend's ear, grabbed his arm and dragged him back to the room.
Han Song was taken away from the scene, and the farce finally ended. I watched the play from the sidelines and didn't speak, not that I thought Han Song was making trouble, on the contrary, I thought what he said was very reasonable. Because I have cracked the poisoning method, this method can only be done by people in the cave, which means that there are indeed internal ghosts in the cave.
It's just that I didn't want to startle the snake, so I didn't stand up to help Han Song speak.
