It took us a long time to sort out the connections between these four things, but unfortunately one of the most important ones, the tempered shield, was so badly damaged that it seemed that it could no longer withstand the strafing of automatic rifles. For us, it is like losing one of our most powerful barriers.

"What do you think it means if one side of a knightly duel loses its shield?" Zhao Yuyu said knowingly.

"That's equivalent to disregarding your life, if you don't defeat the other party, you can only sacrifice yourself." Lin Yun said.

In fact, in the medieval knight duel, there were also situations like this, some knights in order to increase the hope of victory will also discard the heavy shield, so that although they lose the absolute defense, but in exchange for their own movements faster, more responsive, as long as there is enough confidence to dodge the opponent's attack from the spear, then whether there is a shield or not is not so important. However, the situation is completely different now, our opponent is not a real knight, but a fully automatic rifle. Its attack speed far exceeds that of a Western-style spear, and it is simply impossible for us to dodge such a Western-style weapon. No matter how powerful a human eye is, it is impossible to avoid the speed of the bullet's flight.

"What do we do now?" Cui Li asked anxiously.

"I'll go." Xia Cheng said with a serious expression.

This decision is not easy to make, no matter who goes, it is a life and death, and it can even be said that there is no chance of survival, just imagine facing an automatic rifle that is strafing you, and the result can be imagined with almost no defense.

"Xia Cheng, it's too dangerous for you to do this. Not to mention getting close to that automatic rifle, if you don't take a few steps out of this staircase, you will be shot. I stopped.

"Of course I do, but it's the best thing we can think of so far. If I'm fast enough and lucky enough to destroy that automatic rifle before the bullet hits me, then we can all survive, so the risk is worth it. ”

Xia Cheng has always looked at problems from the standpoint of the team, and has never taken personal safety seriously.

"I disagree. I know you have a lot of responsibility, but I won't agree with the decision you made this time. Each of us is a member of the research team, and you don't have to sacrifice yourself to protect us. Lin Yun stood in front of Xia Cheng with tears in his eyes.

Cui Li also softened his tone and said, "Yes, Xia Cheng, the method you said is too dangerous, maybe there are other better methods, think about it in the long run, think about it in the long run." ”

Xia Cheng knew that this time he would not be able to convince Lin Yun to let him take the risk, and his idea could only be stopped there, but how could Cui Li say that a better way could be easily come up with?

We looked at these four things at a loss.

"Huh? That's right! I came up with a great idea! Cui Li turned to look at Zhao Yuyu beside him, "Aren't you good at all sports?" Do you throw a solid ball? ”

"Yes." Zhao Yuyu looked at Cui Li with a puzzled expression, and he didn't know what the good idea he was talking about was.

"Of course it's so simple to have a solid ball, what do you want to express?"

"That's great, you're so good at sports, you must throw a solid ball far away, or you can use this scooter as a solid ball and smash it hard at that automatic rifle, it's best to smash it, even if you can't smash it, it's good to change its direction."

"I said Cui Li, your IQ is also okay, can a solid ball and a scooter be the same thing? And the automatic rifle was at the other end of the hall, so far away from us, it was useless to throw it from here. Zhao Yuyu looked at Cui Li speechlessly and shook his head.

"Cui Li, don't be trick-or-treating here, what are you thinking about. Why don't you let Zhao Yuyu throw you out? Maybe there's some hope. "I looked at Cui Li, if there was a funny subject in the university, he would definitely pass with a perfect score.

"Cheng Yin, why are you talking like that? Anyway, we are all good friends, how can you help Zhao Yuyu? Cui Li looked at me with an aggrieved expression.

I looked at Cui Li's pitiful appearance, and finally understood why my brain was not very bright recently, it turned out that he had lowered my IQ.

"Okay, okay, when is it, you're still joking here." Lin Yun said in a reproachful tone.

"You see, of the four, only this book has no practical use, but it is in a box like a few other things, and I don't think it's as simple as we think." Lin Yun is right, if we just associate these things with knights, then there is no need to put a hardcover version of the book here, wouldn't it be better to put a knight's helmet? Could it be that we were all wrong about what we had understood?

I quickly picked up the "Don Quixote" and flipped through it, it was indeed just an ordinary masterpiece, and there was nothing special in the pages.

I handed the book to Lin Yun and said, "Lin Yun, you usually read a lot of books, can you help us see what is different about this book?" ”

Lin Yun nodded, took the book from my hand, and read it carefully, I could see that she read it very carefully, and was afraid that she would miss any important clues, and at this time, we couldn't do anything but wait.

"Cheng Yin, do you think we can go out? Do you think the kidnappers will kill us too? Cui Li asked softly in my ear

Instead of answering his question directly, I turned my head and nodded with an extremely serious expression.

Cui Li suddenly showed a panicked expression, "Cheng Yin, don't scare me. ”

I really didn't have the energy to talk to Cui Li like this anymore, so I turned around and looked at the few things and fell into deep thought. The answers we think are not what we see, and the answers we see are not what we think. Everything is full of contradictions, affirming each other and denying each other.

Lin Yun carefully flipped through the book "Don Quixote" on the side, but what she didn't expect was that she read the book so fast, almost ten lines at a glance.

At this point, I could only wait quietly for the final answer to appear in front of me, and if my guess was correct, all the truth should be in that book.
