Chapter 002: Mission: Escape from the Pyramid
But some people shouted dissatisfiedly: "What roar? Are you going to scare me to death? ”
"That's it, what's the use of having a big voice."
The white muscular man immediately glared at the disgruntled people with wide eyes, and he became even more vicious. Although there was still some muttering noise, the scene finally quieted down, and the noise was no longer the same.
After a while, someone spoke again, it was an OL pretending woman: "I...... I remember, I wanted to die...... It seems like...... It seems to ......"
"You also met a white light man, didn't you?" The man in the suit next to the woman asked.
The OL pretending woman hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, he said I was dead...... Then he said that he had resurrected me. Then let me choose two doors......"
"That's right, so am I!"
"I also chose the door on the right."
"And me."
"I put out three white balls for us to choose from, but then there was nothing."
When I slipped down, I was all met with the same people.
"Shall we ...... What should I do now? And, where is this? ”
Xin Tu thought to himself: "Yes, it's back again." Just know how to ask questions, but don't want to find the answers yourself? The saliva is dry, and it is also a question in the head. ”
In fact, while others were gossiping, Xin Tu was already observing his surroundings. After some observation, I found that this is a brick and stone corridor, which is slightly narrow, but I don't know the length of the corridor. Moreover, it is very cold and humid, which is very different from the hot environment that Xintu is used to.
For Xintu, who has lived in a "sea city" since birth, it is impossible to determine what kind of place this place is based on the common sense of life in the past.
The Earth has entered the "Age of Heat" more than 30 years ago. The average daytime temperature on land has reached a staggering 43 degrees Celsius, with even higher in some areas. The heat has brought about all kinds of global disasters, so much so that humans simply cannot continue to survive on land.
And the "Earth Federation" was also formed under the pressure of this global high temperature disaster.
Gathering global resources and technology, the emergence of "sea cities" has ushered in the era of ocean cities.
Because the "sea city" is strictly controlled stone buildings, the building materials are mostly high-tech composite building materials, and it is absolutely impossible for a megalithic corridor of this scale to appear. But if it's not in the "city on the sea", where are the people?
But at this time, Xin Tu felt a strange itch in the palm of his hand, looked down, and couldn't help but explode.
At the same time, I also remembered the frightened cries of "ah" and "my hand" one after another.
Xin Tu didn't pay attention to it, only looked down at his palm, and a line of words appeared on it, and the words were blood-colored, as if blood was seeping out of his palm.
Location: First Order, First Layer, Floating Slaughter Realm!
Mission: Escape the pyramid alive and cleanly and return to the surface!
Reward: 1000 Redstone Coins!
"What is this?" One of them screamed, rubbing the words on his palms vigorously, terrified. But soon he found that there was nothing in the palm of his hand except the palm print, and there was any text anywhere.
Xin Tu sighed and said in his heart: "How can people's psychological endurance be so bad now. I like to shout when something happens. Does shouting work? If it helps, I'm definitely more diligent and louder than you shout. ”
Xin Tu remembered it clearly, on the artificial rainy night twelve years ago, no matter how much he screamed and cried, that person's face was always as hard and cold as steel.
Then he shook his head, and without further thought, he looked around and pondered in his heart.
Looking around at a loss, it is to follow the crowd. Now everyone's nerves are tense, and when they are excited, they can absolutely do anything. Xin Tu didn't want to be too peculiar, so as to be targeted by others. Think about it, if everyone else is looking left and right at a loss, and he has a calm face, it would be strange not to be stared at. Just now, because I woke up earlier, I targeted the armed police.
Xin Tu has already developed the habit of protecting himself at all times.
"First Order, First Layer, Floating Slaughter Realm...... Since there is a first level, there should be a second level, and if there is a first level, there should be a second level...... As for the 'Futu Realm', I don't know what the Dao is. ”
"And the 'mission'...... Since it's a task, it's up to us to do it. And where we are should be the 'pyramid'...... Pyramids, I remember it was a kind of architecture in ancient Egypt. Am I in Egypt now? Also, Aren't the pyramids on land? The current land is a dead land at all, and it is also dead when it goes out, which is strange. And it still has to be 'clean', what does that mean? Although there is no time limit, if you can't get out, you will die worse without water or food, or ...... Is there an even more deadly danger in the pyramid? ”
"A reward of 1000 redstone coins? This should be a currency. But I've never heard of the real currency in the world being redstone. No, you can't think of a single sign of these things. And no matter what the task is or not, at least this dark and cold place is very annoying to me! ”
At this time, Xin Tu found that the team of twenty-four people in front of him had been divided into four waves, although the distance between them was not very far, but the boundary could still be seen at a glance.
The first wave was a group of people around the young man of the armed police, a total of twelve - Xin Tu himself was in this wave. The second wave is also Asian faces, a total of five people, either handsome guys or beautiful women. The third wave was white, all four were men, and the muscular man was faintly leading. The fourth wave was three blacks.
Don't look at the fact that the earth is already in the era of the Federation, but there are still barriers such as skin color, race, and region.
For example, pure natural is still not to be seen and artificially modified.
Since the young man of the armed police was the only one in the team who had a weapon, the more people around him, and at the same time, he also attracted frequent attention from the rest of the people. Some are envious, some are jealous, some are worried, and some even have a desire to plunder in their eyes. No way, weapons are always equated with "safety" and "danger". In one's own hands it is safe, and in the hands of others other than oneself it equals danger.
It can be seen that the young man of the armed police seems to be just a charging master, not at all suitable for everyone's attention to the past, his expression is a little cramped, and he is not at all fierce - maybe his fierceness is only facing the gangsters. But perhaps the CF-5 in his hand gave him a sense of security and courage, so he said loudly: "It's not a way for everyone to wait here." There is no signal on the mobile phone, so I can't dial it at all. So now we can only rely on ourselves. I advise everyone to find a way out together and get out of this place as soon as possible. What do you think? ”
"Yes, Brother Wang is right."
"We all listen to Officer Wang."
Xin Tu heard that the young man of the armed police was surnamed Wang, so he called him Police Officer Wang. The name is very suitable for his profession. But he died heroically in a shootout with a gangster who robbed a bank.
"It's so cold in here, I don't want to stay here for a moment."
Then, under the leadership of Police Officer Wang, the group walked along one end of the corridor. The other three waves of people, after you look at me and I look at you, they also followed behind the wave of police officers Wang. At this time, it is clear that no one wants to get out of the crowd.
At this moment, everyone has no ability to discern the direction at all, so they can only choose a random direction and grope forward. Everyone was close together, afraid of getting lost. For this reason, Xin Tu also stepped on his heels a few times, and he didn't even receive a "sorry".
While walking, everyone was still chatting, it was all some nonsense without nutrition. It seems that creating some sound in this dark, cold, dead place can give you more security. But I don't want to think about if there is really any danger, but I am afraid that it will also follow these voices.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Tianyi," a young man next to him accosted Xin Tu, "What's your name?" How did you die? Uh, I'm sorry......" Xin Tu smiled kindly, "Hello, my name is Tu Xin. Well, as for how I died, don't laugh at me. I was actually on the road watching a beautiful woman get hit by a car and die. ”
"Whew!"
Because they were so compact, several people heard what Xin Tu said, and they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Out of breath." The OL woman whispered.
Zhang Tianyi smiled honestly and said: "Hehe, I really envy you, there are still beautiful women to see before you die...... Ah, you see we've all died, so you don't mind if I say that, do you? ”
Xin Tu said: "No, no. I've found that after dying once, I'm in a very good state of mind now. If I had appeared here inexplicably before, I would have fainted with fright. ”
"Yes, I was still in 'Xinhua City' before, and then not only did I not die, but I still appeared here," Zhang Tianyi said, "I was tied up in the sun and died, and it took two days to die." Hey, my dad owed people gambling debts and ran away, and I couldn't pay the money, so I caught them and made an example of them. I will never forget that pain even in the next life. ”
Sunburn death is the most cruel and inhumane way to die in the era of high temperatures, and it is also the most vicious swearing.
Hearing that Zhang Tianyi was sunburned, several people around him couldn't help but feel numb. The man in the suit looked unhappy when he saw the woman in the OL suit, so he said, "I said you, can you say something auspicious?" What is not dead, now live well, but don't just tell you that you are dead. Miss Zhang, shall we go to the front? Approached the policeman. The province is here to listen to those bad words. ”
"yes, okay."
Then the two of them squeezed forward.
"Boom. It's not that he hasn't died, and he's still pretentious. A young man in overalls on the side said disdainfully, "Two guys who spoil their clothes." ”
The so-called "ruined clothes" means that good-looking clothes are worn ugly.
Xintu deeply agrees with this.
"Hey, hello, your name is Wang Dong, an auto mechanic, also from 'Xinhua City'," he said, and raised a big wrench, "Look, I should have killed this thing." As for who the murderer is, I don't know. But I have to thank him for putting the wrench in my hand, it's a good thing. Ha Luha, let's introduce ourselves now and add how we died. ”
Zhang Tianyi felt a kind of joy of meeting his hometown and acquaintance, and said: "Are you also from 'Xinhua City'?" What tier are you from? Which district? ”
"Eighth floor, Bayi District."
The maritime city is divided into layers, with eight floors above and four floors below, and the people who live above the sea are ordinary people, and the people who go up the sea are poorer, while the rich officials live below the sea level.
"Coincidentally, I'm from District 83. It's just a district. ”
Xin Tu said secretly: "This guy can still talk and laugh like this when he was stoned to death, this is also a ruthless character." By the way, they are all 'Xinhua City', the legendary magic capital. Judging from what happened to the two of them, one was killed by exposure to the sun, and the other was smashed to death by a wrench, and the city is really worthy of the name of the magic capital. ”
"Brother Tu, which city are you?" Zhang Tianyi asked Xin Tu.
Xin Tu said: "I am from 'Sea Dragon City'. ”
Sea Dragon City, the administrative capital of the East Asian Republic of the Earth Federation, is commonly known as the imperial capital.
The smile on Wang Dong's face changed, and he "sneered": "It turned out to be the imperial capital." ”
Laughing at Wang Dong's prejudice, Xin Tu smiled: "The eighth layer is waiting to die." ”
Zhang Tianyi smiled unnaturally beside him. Obviously, when he heard Xin Tu say that it was "Sea Dragon City", he also had some pimples in his heart.
In general, it is the "Sea Dragon City" that regards itself as the aristocracy of the imperial capital and looks down on the outbreak and chaos of "Xinhua City"; The "Xinhua City" is not accustomed to the pleasures of the "Sea Dragon City", which is lazy and lazy, and is a parasite of the Federal East Asian Republic. It is rumored in "Sea Dragon City" that one of the ten people in "Xinhua City" is a thief, two prostitutes, three gamblers, and four blacks, in short, they do not do good things. And in "Xinhua City", it is also full of "Sea Dragon City". According to Xintu's knowledge, the reason why the two cities are incompatible is because the big groups in the two cities do not look at each other......
So don't look at the fact that everyone is in the same unknown environment now, we should work together to help each other, but the long-formed concept cannot be changed in a while.
Seeing the cold field, Xin Tu felt that he still underestimated the prejudice between cities.
Moving forward, I don't know what hard road is going to be, and I always have a feeling of being targeted by something. But when I looked around, in addition to seeing the pitch-black and cold stone wall, I could only see the thick darkness that could not be dissolved.
Wang Dongjian Xin Tu looked around, so he knocked Xin Tu's shoulder with a wrench, and said with a smile: "Imperial Duzai, if there is any danger later, if you follow closely, I will still help you." Who made us all people of the Republican Zone? ”
Xin Tu smiled: "Oh, then I'll thank you first." ”
As they walked, everyone walked out of this boulder corridor, and thanks to the tactical flashlight of Police Wang, everyone could probably tell that this was a hall. As soon as they entered this hall, the crowd felt even colder. The sound of "gurgling" teeth chattering came and went.
Zhang Tianyi shrank and said, "What the hell is this place?" Why is it so cold. Wang Dong said dissatisfiedly: "Don't be so squeamish. Didn't you give the sun to death? Still afraid of this cold? Don't embarrass us Xinhua. ”
"Oh...... Oh! ”
Hiss !!!
Suddenly, a strange and piercing roar came from all directions.
Some of the people who were already tense suddenly covered their ears and squatted down and screamed.
The frightened cries of the people echoed through the hall, mingling with the strange voices of unknown origins.
"I'm going to get out! I don't want to be here! Let me go, I'm going to choose the door on the left! Ahh ”
Suddenly, a person seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly screamed, and then ran forward desperately, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace engulfed in darkness.
