"Why can't you hear me? Cheng Yin asked you, why do you always like to put on a cold expression. Cui Li looked at Zhang Han.

Zhang Han didn't deliberately ignore us, but he was now encountering a problem, and no matter how much we shouted in the contemplative world, it would be useless, and all that was left was to wait quietly.

"Cui Li, be quiet, Zhang Han is thinking." Xia Cheng said.

Zhang Han turned the page in his hand over and over again, and it had been repeated many times.

It seems that Zhang Han has found something, but he may not be sure of anything, so he will do this. But at least there is some hope.

"That's not right...... No......" Zhang Han was talking to himself alone.

Although we all wanted to know what Zhang Han had discovered, we couldn't interrupt Zhang Han's train of thought, so we could only watch him think deeply.

"The numbers aren't right...... Why is that? Could it be that my idea was wrong from the start? Zhang Han muttered alone.

Just as Zhang Han hesitated, the number of automatic rifles in the hall became more and more numerous, from the previous three to ten, and the number continued to increase.

"Look, the number of automatic rifles is constantly increasing, how can this be." Cui Li said as he looked at the increasing number of automatic rifles.

"yes, that's ...... That's too much, isn't it? If we go on like this, we can't go any further. Zhao Yuyu took a few steps back.

The automatic rifles in the distance are connected exactly in a straight line. Neat enough to shoot in our direction.

"There are already ten...... And it seems that the speed of the attack is getting faster and faster. We're really done now..."Cui Li said hopelessly.

The bullet hit the wall and did not bounce off and fall to the ground, but was deeply embedded in the wall.

In just three minutes, the number of those automatic rifles increased again, and kept increasing.

"It's not a way to go on like this, if there are more of these automatic rifles, it may increase to us, and this staircase may not be safe at that time, so let's find a way to leave." Zhao Yuyu said in a panic.

"Now let's go, where can we go? It's almost possible to go back the way you came. And we haven't seen Li Ruina yet, so did we just give up? Lin Yun did not agree with Zhao Yuyu's proposal.

"What if you don't give up? Look at those automatic rifles, as long as we have one bullet, we can't go half a step forward, how can we save Li Ruina?" Zhao Yuyu became emotional.

"That's enough!! That's enough!!! If anyone wants to leave now, they can leave at any time, and according to the method we just came in, they should be able to leave safely. I said.

"Cheng Yin, what about you?" Lin Yun asked.

"I'll stay here until I unlock this mechanism." I can't just give up, I can't, if I can't even do that, what can I talk about changing the world.

"Then I'll stay here too, Li Ruina is a member of our research group, I can't bear to leave her alone."

"Then I won't leave, it's dangerous, but I believe in Cheng Yin." Cui Li stood beside me.

"You're crazy, you're all crazy, it's impossible to get through without it. Why do you insist on this, is not your own life? Zhao Yuyu roared.

"Everyone's life is important, but I have my own mission, and sometimes I can only move forward." I said.

"Ten...... Fifteen...... Twenty...... Thirty ......" Cui Li seemed to be calculating something: "Look, the number of those automatic rifles is almost thirty. ”

Cui Li didn't remind me that I hadn't noticed it yet, but I didn't expect that the number of automatic rifles would increase so quickly in a while.

"Wait, what do you say are the number of automatic rifles now?" Zhang Han suddenly stood up and asked loudly.

"Now it's estimated that there are thirty or forty units, what's wrong?" Cui Li asked inexplicably.

Zhang Han looked at the "Don Quixote" in his hand and said, "Great!! That's great!!! ”

"I said you're really annoying, we're all in a hurry now, you're still happy here, can you figure out the current situation?" Cui Li said angrily.

"That's right, it's thirty or forty units, and it's finally right!! It's finally right!! Obviously, Cui Li's words, Zhang Han didn't take it to heart at all.

"Zhang Han, what did you find?" Xia Cheng asked.

"Listen, there's a passage in the book." Zhang Han followed the contents of the book and said: "They saw thirty or forty windmills in the wilderness. When Don Quixote saw this, he said to his attendants: 'Our luck is good, and fate has been arranged better than I had hoped. You see, friend Sancho, there are more than thirty giants there, and I want to fight them...... [Note 1]"

"What does this book have to do with what we have now?" Cui Li still asked unexplained.

"They saw thirty or forty windmills in the wilderness." I repeated, and suddenly I understood what Zhang Han meant, it turned out to be like this, no wonder Zhang Han was happy.

"What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand at all. Cui Li looked at us inexplicably.

"It seems that the contents of these boxes and this Don Quixote are meant to enlighten us, and now that we have found these connections, what do we do now?" Lin Yun's question is the key to all the problems.

[1] It narrates the heroic Don Quixote in a horrific battle with the windmills, among other events worth mentioning.

So saying, they saw thirty or forty windmills in the wilderness. When Don Quixote saw this, he said to his attendants: "Our luck is good, and fate has arranged better than I had hoped." You see, friend Sancho, there are more than thirty giants who show off their might, and I want to fight them all and bring them all down, and get the spoils, so that we can get rich. This is a righteous battle, and to eliminate these guys on earth is also a great service to God. ”

"What giant?" Sancho asked.

"Isn't it right there?" His master said, "The arms are long, and some giants have arms that are almost two miles long." ”

"Master, take a good look." Sancho said, "It's not a giant, it's a windmill, and those arm-like things are the wings of a windmill." The wind whipped the wings, and the stone mill turned. ”
