Chapter 692: A Labyrinth Without an Exit
The "fortress" is not so easy to enter, and everyone has only taken a step. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Judging by the corpse sandwiched between the pipes, Xiao Worm thinks that the scorpions outside must have escaped from the "fortress" after passing through here, which means that if you go forward like this, what awaits everyone in front is likely to be related to the scorpion swarm, in short, everyone must be mentally prepared first.
Mental preparation, turtle dove felt that after meeting the worm, he was always doing all kinds of psychological preparations, if there was no electric adventure experience, he would even feel a little unaccustomed to it, so turtle dove didn't have anything to say, he just silently pulled out the assault knife he carried with him.
In a cramped environment, an assault knife with a short blade is undoubtedly more useful than a straight-edged machete, especially if you are about to face the kind of scorpion with the length of an adult's forearm, and the assault knife is more than enough to deal with them.
So everyone moved forward along the dimly lit corridor again, and passed through several collapsed sections in the middle, the scale was small and large, the small one was only two pieces of gravel or something blocking the middle of the corridor, and the big one was the same as just now, and one or several similar rooms collapsed in pieces, revealing a black hole, which looked like a monster was opening its bloody mouth.
Worm wanted to go down to find out, but found that it should no longer be within the scope of the drainage pipe, she didn't figure out exactly where it was, but there was a faint smell of blood floating up from below, in order to avoid any extraneous branches, Worm finally decided not to be busy exploring the holes caused by the collapse.
The corridor is long, and it twists and turns like a complex labyrinth.
The turtledove and Rantis in the back felt a little confused after only two turns in it, and they craned their necks to look at this and that along the way, only to see the collapsed walls and the steaming pipes, which made them wonder if the worm had led everyone to get lost again.
"Ahem, I said," the turtledove coughed dryly, "where are we going, how have we been walking for so long and still going around in this place?" ”
Turtledove said this very tactfully, he was saying "spinning" on the surface, but in fact he was vaguely asking the worm if he was lost, after all, how could a normal person lead his companion to spin in place when he was not lost, and the turtledove muttered quietly: "The worm is probably lost again." ”
However, the little worm in front of her didn't have the heart to answer the turtledove's "inquiry" at all, she concentrated on keeping every intersection in her mind, and after a while, the little worm roughly grasped the structure of this "labyrinth", which strangely had no exit.
A "labyrinth" without an exit is not called a labyrinth, it is called a "trap".
"We've walked every road here," the little worm stood still with a puzzled face, "Look behind you, that's where we started at the beginning, and then the corridor will be divided into two sides, we will go first on the left hand side, and then on the right hand side, and the rest of the small forks in the road will basically go again, but each time we will return to the same place." ”
This is so wrong, because the scorpion swarm obviously escaped from the "fortress" along this route, why can they escape, and their own people can't find the way like headless flies, is it because the human body is too big and the path taken by the scorpion swarm?
For example, scorpion swarms can walk through wall cracks, but humans obviously can't walk through wall cracks.
"No, no," the worm shook his head, "There are obviously test subjects in the scorpion colony, and those test subjects are much larger than humans, and since they all have a way to go, then there is definitely an entrance and exit here that allows humans to pass through." ”
……
"Whoa."
There was a flash of rubble.
The little insect pricked up her ears in alarm, and she first looked at the turtledove standing beside her, who was now in a daze with the electric light overhead, and then at Lotis, who was standing a little farther away, and this thing was the same as the turtledove, and she didn't know why she suddenly became interested in the electric light.
Finally, the worm fell on Bit's body, and Bit also heard the sound of rubble, and when the worm looked at him, he also happened to look at the worm, and the two of them looked at each other, and their hearts "groaned" at the same time, - it was not any of the four of them who made a fuss, indicating that there were other "people" in this place.
"What's that shiny one?"
Rantis pointed to the electric lamp on the turtledove's head that emitted a dim glow, and it happened that the turtledove was also looking at this one, and pursed his lips, and the turtledove said:
"I don't know, I'm thinking it's weird."
"Camera?"
The worm saw at a glance what it was.
If it weren't for the fact that Landis and Turtledove had asked, the worm hadn't noticed the existence of a camera above their heads, during which the bug had looked down and paid attention to the situation under his feet, and he didn't think to look up.
"Whoa."
The sound of rubble rattling was heard again.
……
"What sound?"
This time, even the turtledove heard it.
The worm didn't speak, she was still staring at the camera overhead, and Rantis was as confused as a turtledove, but Bit reached out and pointed down.
"...... below"
Turtledove didn't understand what Bit meant at first, he said to himself that he was stepping on the floor under his feet, and after a while, Turtledove suddenly realized that Bit was not talking about the floor, but the lower part of the floor, which was the place where the worm wanted to go down to find out.
Lying lightly on the ground, Ikaruga pressed his ears against the cold concrete floor, except for the sound of steam "snorting", Ikaruga really heard a small sound of footsteps, faintly not very clearly, but he was sure that there was indeed something under the floor.
Is it a test subject? Or are there still scorpions that have not escaped from the "fortress" and remain here, or has the "fortress" already discovered their whereabouts and sent clone warriors to surround them?
The turtledove thought of many possibilities in an instant, but the little worm saw more deeply and thoroughly.
"I finally know why there is no exit to this labyrinth," the worm took a deep breath, "because this is really a trap, a trap to trap some 'trouble'. (To be continued.) )
