The news that Zhu Tianai agreed to become Huang Wenze's assistant surprised all the contestants except Tang Wensi, and even Huang Wenze himself, because before she agreed to his request, he and her met privately for the first time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info And the reason why Huang Wenze wanted her to be an assistant was also to go to her after getting a secret hint.
Tang Wensi is not a woman who likes to be entangled in the process, she knows that the more the game is carried out, the more complex the various forces behind the players become, and in the final analysis, it is all a process of various interest games. She herself is no exception, she is just someone, or a "pawn" of some kind of power, what she can do now is to make her "pawn" not be abandoned because of incompetence.
It only took half a day, and all the members of the eleven groups were selected. As a result, only Tang Wensi and Huang Wenze's personal assistants were all women.
The venue of the survival competition is the Gobi no man's land, 100 kilometers outside the academy, and the Shadow Prison, which was ranked among the top 10 prisons in the world before the nuclear war. The prison was abandoned decades ago and is still unoccupied.
The Shadow Prison is nestled between four large mountains. The valleys on all sides are cliffs of varying degrees, and even the lowest cliff in the south is a cliff with a height of nearly 100 meters, which greatly eliminates the possibility of prisoners escaping from prison. Considering the huge Great Gobi outside and the invisible quicksand traps on the Great Gobi that are devoured by people, the existence of such a cliff cannot be man-made. Looking down from the air, the entire prison is actually an abrupt oval complex on the sunken terrain between the mountains. The prison's buildings are located next to the highest and steepest cliff just to the north. The building is connected to the mountain wall, and the tunnel is the only safe way to communicate with the outside world.
Except for the doorways that connect to the mountain wall, all that remains is a large playground. The playground is uneven, and the surrounding area is inclined towards the center, as if to foreshadow another degree of subsidence that will one day be on top of the existing subsidence.
This is perhaps one of the farthest places on this planet from the civilized world. There are no buildings, no reinforced concrete, which is popular in other prisons, but ancient and distant corridors and caves. The most incredible thing is that there is no power grid here, because there are no wires at all. The nearest highway is nearly 100 kilometers away, and it crosses the Gobi Desert of Death. No one with the financial acumen would have laid wires in this deserted place.
The prison also does not have the watchtowers that are very popular in other places, and the high cliffs, long corridors, and the Gobi Desert with a radius of hundreds of square kilometers outside have completely cut off any hope for the prisoners here to escape and ascend to heaven, so there is no need to build any watchtowers to monitor the prisoners.
Before the start of the race, all the contestants drew lots to pick a backpack, and it was stipulated that the backpack could only be opened after the official start of the race. The eleven teams entered the Shadow Prison from eleven different entry points. And each entry point is separated by at least 5 km. In addition to surviving for the specified time, the task of this competition is to complete the individual tasks of each group, and these specific tasks are placed in the backpacks of the eleven who can not be officially opened until the start of the competition.
Tang Wensi's group was blindfolded and sent to the prison gate, and the electronic pulse shackles on their bodies were not automatically unlocked until the escorts left their sight.
At the entrance of the prison, the rusty red barbed wire fence stretched out as far as everyone could see, entangled the entire prison wall. Gusts of wind poured out of the holes in the walls that had fallen into disrepair and rushed towards them.
In addition to Tang Wensi, the two girls beside her, who were taller and taller than her, and looked exactly the same, began to tremble inexplicably, as if they had seen something terrible.
"Although this is the rotten smell of a corpse, it is not human, you just follow me." While Tang Wensi's expression was still speaking, he also opened his backpack.
Inside the heavy backpack, except for an envelope, were two pieces of marble polished like bowling balls.
"Hmph, it's exactly what she said!" After reading the contents of the letter, Tang Wensi immediately tore it to shreds.
"Teacher ~~~~~~~, I ~~~~~~~~ we want to go back." The frightened expressions on the faces of the two girls escalated again, and they had entered the stage of fear.
Seeing this, Tang Wensi frowned, and then quickly clicked on the temples of the two of them a few times, and then asked the other party to look into her eyes. After the pupils of the two girls were dilated to the limit, they said softly: "From now on, everything you see is not real, everything you see is a simulated scene, not real. ā
After Tang Wensi repeated the words three times, he immediately slapped his palms three times in a row, and after the two girls' bodies shook a few times, their expressions gradually returned to normal.
"You two, just do what I say, and I guarantee that everyone will leave this place alive."
After the two girls looked at each other, they immediately nodded to Tang Wensi: "Teacher, as long as you can let us leave this place and leave the academy, we will listen to you for everything." ā
After Tang Wensi nodded with satisfaction, she immediately asked the two of them to follow behind her, and no matter what she saw, she didn't make a sound.
Next, under the leadership of Tang Wensi, the three of them entered the prison through the gate.
Although the scene of the prison gate is quite different from the description in the information, the location of the building site is basically the same, so the three of them quickly came to the Yongdao crossing next to the civil hut that directly led to the prison playground. As long as they crossed the corridor and came to the playground, their task could be said to be half completed.
"You lead the way." Tang Wensi turned to Marco and said (this horse is the sister of the twin sisters, and her sister is called Ma Ai).
Marco nodded, walked in front of the group, and entered the corridor.
As soon as he walked in, Tang Wensi completely overturned his first impression of the Shadow Prison. What she saw was a cave that seemed to have been dug out of the mountain, a road that led to no apparent location.
The three of them walked forward at a constant and steady pace, and the dark long corridor stretched in the darkness, seemingly endless. The road is not smooth, but up or down, more down and less up. Marco silently sneaked in the dark, and every ten meters or so a wall lamp appeared lying in the corner. The irregularly flickering wall lamps illuminated the shadows of the three people, and the dark corridor stretched the shadows of the three people. So from a distance, it seemed as if three devils were following behind without touching the ground.
The experienced Tang Wensi didn't need to have the slightest fear because of the strange images around her, and at this moment, she used the only faint light to observe her surroundings. But she soon found that the more she watched, the more frightened she became,
It's not because something terrible has come along. In fact, if you look at it on the surface, there really isn't anything special around.
The corridor is simply sloppy, and the walls and overhead are uneven in many places. Only the ground is passable, except for a little dust, there are no potholes. Maybe that's because there are more people walking and the step is flat. The latest style of wall lamps was also obsolete half a century ago, and the sconces are the only proof that people can feel that this place is for human use, and there is nothing else in the corridor.
There are no windows, no rooms, just the corridor itself, which seems to never end. Turn after turn, left or right, and occasionally there will be an intersection, and a horizontal or diagonal corridor appears, like a maze. When passing by a fork in the road, Tang Wensi didn't see anything new, it was still the road, the oil lamp, and the darkness that disappeared at the end. Only the constant downward and occasional upward slope suggests that you are not stepping at the starting point. The boundless darkness consumes the concept of time, the never-ending corridor, and distorts the definition of space. The pressure is increasing little by little, and I believe that any person with a normal mind will come here and can't help but ask himself: "Will I never be able to get out?" ā
As soon as Tang Wen's thoughts arose, he remained silent, and Marco, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped.
