Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Prisoner's Dilemma

The spearman became restless: "Cry, cry, cry, it's annoying!"

The one-eyed man grinned: "Calm down, calm down, that's all the hope for the future, don't bother, the louder you cry, the stronger the baby's innate physique."

Ding Jun understood, the copper pipe embedded in the roof of the cellar must be connected to the distance. The One-Eyed and the Lancer are the Insiders, while the Small-Eyed Man is sidelined and killed when he accidentally approaches the edge of the secret. But where do babies come from? Who set up the copper pipe under the old mansion of the Shi family? What's the point?

The mystery may be revealed after a long wait. For this reason, he is willing to suffer in silence any longer.

I don't know how long later, the two people who had been sleeping on the table suddenly got up at the same time, walked to the side of the steps, and looked up.

The one-eyed man was the first to speak: "Welcome to the Snow Maiden."

The spearman also stood respectfully and greeted loudly: "Hello Snow Maiden."

A young woman in a cyan trench coat walked briskly down the steps, with delicate facial features and bright eyes, and as soon as she landed, she noticed the rope net on the copper plate, and asked crisply: "This is the accomplice of the stone wonderful hand you caught?"

The one-eyed man nodded: "Yes, it's Ding Jun, who claims to be Shi Hai's comrade-in-arms, a retired special forces of the US Delta Force."

The woman sneered: "I don't know whether I am alive or dead!"

She approached the copper plate, kicked the rope net twice with her toes, and shouted contemptuously: "Hey, are you still alive?" Tell me, where is Shi Miaoshou?"

Ding Jun could see at a glance that the other party was not the woman he saw in the soil forest last night, and there was a huge difference in temperament, voice, and posture.

"I ...... I don't know ......" Ding Jun deliberately curled the tip of his tongue and made a hoarse voice that gasped hard.

"All those who come to help will die. And what about the Delta Force? We won't be wiped out in one round on the Afghan side! The woman said domineeringly.

The one-eyed man and the spearman always accompanied the smiling faces, and they nodded their heads at every word the woman spoke.

"I really...... I don't know......" Ding Jun said weakly.

"Hey, did you find any other secret rooms? This cellar is empty, there is nothing, what's the use of staying here?" The woman turned and turned at the one-eyed man.

The one-eyed man replied with a smile: "We are trying to search, and we dare not work openly during the day, and we will only do it after nightfall." I think Ding Jun is very valuable for information, so I left him here and waited for the Snow Maiden to interrogate. ”

The woman snorted coldly: "Value? I don't see any value—"

There was a sudden "clanging" sound on the steps, as if it was a soft sound caused by the collision of two pieces of broken jade.

The woman looked up, restrained her arrogance, and lowered her voice and shouted, "Welcome to the Snow Maiden."

Ding Jun also followed to look at the top of the steps, and first saw a pair of white leather boots that were higher than his knees, although they were in the wind-swept Tibetan side, the leather boots were spotless, maintaining the pure original white of the snow goat's skin. The man's feet were steady with each step, but there was no sense of stagnation, which made people feel that as long as the man stepped down, he would never flinch and change.

Further up, Ding Jun saw a white snow-capped mountain suede coat with mutton fat white jade of different shapes around the hem. While walking, the white jade occasionally collides with each other, making a slight "clanging" sound.

The man descended a few steps, and his slender waist with a white jade chain was revealed. The jade chain is also made of high-quality mutton fat jade, which is interlocking and has a lustrous color.

The one-eyed man and the spearman all bowed their heads, not daring to look upward.

"Everyone's worked hard." When the man's face was completely exposed to the light, he finally spoke, and his voice sounded like a hand brushing through a harp.

It was a girl with delicate facial features like ice carving, her eyes were calm like water, and her long hair hung down like a black waterfall.

When she walked into the cellar, no one could look at her, and all of them involuntarily bowed their heads, impressed by her luxurious temperament.

"Dongzhu, don't worry." She said.

The girl in the blue trench coat who came in earlier lowered her hand and agreed: "Yes, Dongzhu understands."

The girl slowly walked to the copper plate and stared at Ding Jun in the rope net. There was a chill like ice on her body, and the temperature of the air on all sides was lowered by several degrees everywhere she went.

Close at hand, Ding Jun saw that she had a pair of deep and dark eyes, and those big eyes seemed to exude a cold air all the time. As she stared at him, he felt a sense of tension that his heart was beating faster and that he couldn't hide.

"Snow girl, his name is Ding Jun, and he is a helper invited by Shi Miaoshou." The one-eyed man is introduced on the side.

The girl replied, "I know, but he's not our target, let it go."

This sentence was unexpected by Ding Jun, and the others were even more puzzled.

The girl's eyes rolled to the brass pipes of the roof.

The one-eyed man explained in time: "The brass pipe seems to lead to some secret space, and strange noises often come from it."

The girl nodded, jumped slightly, and got on the copper plate.

At this moment, Ding Jun suddenly had a sense of foreboding, because the one-eyed man and the spearman were making eye contact with each other, one retreating to the table and the other approaching behind Dongzhu.

"Snow girl, I have something to say-" Ding Jun struggled for a moment, and just as he spoke, he suddenly heard the "creak, rattle" sound of the torsion spring. Then, the copper plate turned upwards on all sides at the same time, like an open man-eating flower, and instantly enveloped him and the girl.

Half a second before the copper plates were closed, Ding Jun witnessed the pikeman assassinate Dongzhu, and the one-eyed man's hand had already reached under the table, apparently pressing the mechanism that caused the copper plate to change.

"Wow...... Wow......" The baby's cry became clearer, as if it was ringing in Ding Jun's ears.

He skillfully cut the rope net in the darkness and escaped, but he stood still, not daring to move, lest he accidentally clash with the Snow Maiden opposite.

"Surprised, isn't it? I'm guessing it's your men who have a problem. Snow Maiden, I have no hostility towards you, especially in this case, we are trapped at the same time, and we are the turtles in the urn, and we should be in the same boat, right?" Ding Jun said.

He felt that the Snow Maiden was five steps away, because the strange cold was always there.

"Yes." The other party only replied with one word.

"Meet me, I'm Ding Jun." Ding Jun asked.

"Okay." The other party replied.

Ding Jun took out a matchbox in his pocket, clicked on the ground, and polished a match. He didn't have time to look at the snow night on the opposite side, so he first observed the quadedron shì.

It turns out that the copper plate that looked ordinary on the surface before actually has countless hidden criss-cross patterns, like a flattened football. If you don't pay attention, just if it's a flat piece. When the one-eyed man's engine was turned off, the copper plate turned up according to the lines, instantly forming an impermeable copper ball, which was extremely strong, and it was extremely difficult for the trapped people to escape. In addition, oxygen is limited in confined spaces, and trapped people are also at risk of suffocation.

After reading a circle, Ding Jun immediately blew out the match to avoid excessive oxygen consumption.

This situation is even more dangerous than being trapped in the cellar of Torin Temple.

"Snow Maiden, what do you think?" He asked.

Once upon a time, the Guge Envoy was the sworn enemy of Shi Miaoshou, and of course the sworn enemy of Ding Jun, Fang Qing and other boxers. Now, the enemy and the enemy have been translocated, and Ding Jun is actually trapped in the same corner with the Guge messenger Snow Maiden.

"Break the bottle to release the butterfly." The Snow Maiden replied.

Her voice is indeed beautiful, with a pure atmosphere that has not been defiled by the world, which makes Ding Jun suddenly think of glaciers that have not melted for tens of thousands of years, snow lotus at the top of the Himalayas, and the faint bells of ancient temples in Tibet. With such a girl, there is always more anger and anxiety, which is also extinguished by the cool breath spit out from her lips.

"How?" Ding Jun looked up above his head in the dark.

In fact, during the time when the half of the match was burning, he had already thought of a countermeasure. Still, he wanted to hear Snow Maiden's opinion. The master has made a move, focusing on each other's strength, even if he is already the king of individual soldiers, he is still willing to humbly obtain the opinions of others.

"The key to the copper ball is at the closing point." The Snow Maiden replied.

"That's right." Ding Jun nodded.

"You are a special soldier, there must be a way." Snow Maiden's answer was very succinct and did not go into any detail.

Ding Jun smiled silently, this way of communicating with words like gold is very interesting and very appetizing to him. Many times, he likes to do more than he says, and the less he says, the better, because rhetoric does not help solve anything.

Within two minutes, he had taken out a dozen seemingly unrelated metal rods, hooks, nuts, and drill bits from the pockets of his clothes, and soon formed a miniature hand-cranked drill.

"When it's quiet outside, I'll do it." He said.

In his previous survival training, he was able to tackle a mechanical problem with just a Swiss Army knife. This time the situation is complicated, and the combined hand drill can come in handy. According to his plan, he only needs to drill through the sixteen connection points of the copper ball to open a small window and escape easily.

Now, he hoped that the One-Eyed and the Pikeman would leave the cellar when he succeeded, leaving him with a chance to do so.

He took a step to the side, his right hand propped up on the inner wall of the copper ball, ready to put his ear on it and listen to the movement outside. Suddenly, the burning sensation from his fingertips made him withdraw his hand.

"Oh no, they're igniting!" He let out a low cry, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

He had seen ashes under the copper plates, but he never imagined that the fire there was actually to bake the copper balls. In this way, within ten minutes, the ball will quickly heat up, steaming the two to death.

Strangely, there was no burning under his feet, only a slight heat.

"There's still time." Snow Maiden said, without a hint of anxiety and panic.

"Ten minutes — or less." Ding Jun took a deep breath.

He really can't do it, so he can only take the risk of drilling through the copper ball immediately, and break the ball out under the siege of the one-eyed man and the pikeman, and fight an encounter. In that case, the success rate is only 30%. In other words, he was sure to kill one person, but there was a danger that he would be severely injured by the second person.

"Nope." The Snow Maiden denied the answer.

Ding Jun squatted down, carefully groped his feet, and soon found that the concave bottom of the copper ball heated slowly, which should have been specially thickened and insulated. He had just observed that the concave base was an approximate square with a side length of three meters.

"It's like we're standing in a thickened frying pan, and no matter how slow the temperature rises, it will always reach 50 degrees Celsius, 100 degrees Celsius, or even higher. It's a bit of a problem—" Ding Jun looked up again, and this time there seemed to be a little light inside the copper ball, allowing him to see the strange copper pipe.

Coincidentally, the copper tube is tightly wrapped by the copper ball, leaving no holes, and the edge of the copper tube is flush with the inner wall of the copper ball.

"This kind of mechanism, like the structure of a flask and a gas collector......" Ding Jun immediately concluded.

While in the army, he received special training in chemical weapons, mainly to deal with terrorists in the field of chemical and biological weapons. Terrorists use a variety of glassware to extract poison gas, and the refining process is extremely complex, with more than a dozen times requiring a continuous process of heating the flask, obtaining the poison gas, collecting and transporting it, and compressing and storing it.

"But what's the point?" He looked down in thought, and was suddenly startled by the sight before him, for the side walls of the copper ball had turned a faint crimson red, like the scorching coals left behind after an open flame had been extinguished. It turned out that it was precisely because the side wall of the copper ball was burned through that he could see the top of the copper ball with the help of the bright light of the coals.
