Left, center, right, three forks.

At first glance there is no difference.

But Luo Chengyou, who was running, still found some clues.

The leftmost fork was bright, clean, neat, with no scalp-tingling black particles in sight, and it was wide, wider than the main alley underneath.

The middle fork was poorly lit, dark, dirty, and vaguely covered with black substance, but it was narrow enough to fit almost two people walking side by side.

As for the fork on the far right, Luo Chengyou only had time to glance at it quickly, and that road was almost exactly the same as the main alley he was stepping on now, no different.

Which one to choose?

Under the crisis of life and death, Luo Chengyou's brain turned fast.

The first thing he ruled out was the rightmost alleyway.

That is simply an extension of the alley under your feet, and there is no difference from the main alleyway, and you are now being chased by a monster, and entering that alleyway without any difference means that there is no chance to get out of the crisis behind you.

Of course, if he is confident that he can keep running at his current speed and not be overtaken by the monsters behind him, he can choose the rightmost lane, after all, it has not changed much, and he is the most familiar in all aspects.

But Luo Chengyou doesn't think he can keep escaping, people's physical strength has a limit, although his physical strength has been exercised, but it is not to the extent that he can run all the time, the unchanged right lane may be the survival of other players, but it will not be his.

As for the alley on the left, it looks the safest, clean and spacious, bright and tidy, but here's the problem, and it's hard not to suspect that it's trying to lure the player into the left.

But it's almost also explicitly saying that you can't get rid of the monster behind you when you enter the aisle on the left, because there is a grinding sound behind you, and the friction sound means that the monster is just the size of the main aisle, and the fork on the left is more spacious than the main aisle.

The only explanation Luo Chengyou can think of is that the left alley is "promising", after all, no black matter was found in the left alley, and almost all of those frog egg-like things were in the middle fork.

Although he didn't know what those black substances were, Luo Chengyou subconsciously didn't want to touch it, so in addition to the danger of not being able to get rid of the monster behind him, the left alley was perhaps the safest choice in other aspects?

This thought only flashed in Luo Chengyou's mind.

Anything, the ideal state is difficult to achieve, if Luo Chengyou can always run at high speed without worrying about being caught up behind him, then he will definitely choose the left fork.

But now, seeing the difference in the width of the three branches, he immediately made a decision, and without hesitation rushed into the middle one, which was dark and full of black particles.

Because, it is too narrow, even if it can't block the monster behind it, it can greatly hinder the other party's movement and buy yourself more time to escape.

Therefore, Luo Chengyou went directly into the fork in the middle.

He is very careful, there is a rule [don't touch the wall], he doesn't know if the body touching the wall counts as "touching", strictly speaking, it can only be counted as "touching", right?

But he wasn't going to give it a try.

After rushing into the alley in the middle, his eyes instantly darkened, Luo Chengyou was prepared, and before entering the central fork, he took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight function.

Now is the time to use it, the alley is narrow and wet, the walls on both sides are covered with sparse mold, and from time to time you can see a large mass of dense black particles of "frog eggs" on the ground and walls, which makes people's scalp tingle.

His speed had slowed down a bit, the alley couldn't run too fast, and if he slipped and it was over, he would rather be slower.

And, as soon as he entered the alley, the sound of grinding against the walls stopped abruptly.

The monster really couldn't get in.

This made Luo Chengyou breathe a sigh of relief, he slowed down, and in this damp and dark alley, he shone his mobile phone and walked forward slowly.

What the hell is going on in this village?

After being a little safer, Luo Chengyou kept an eye on his feet while thinking about the current situation.

The word sterilization made him pay special attention.

In the rules of the Jiuqu Lane area, there is a mention of "Jiuqu Lane does not need to be disinfected, it is dangerous".

The two should be causal, because there is no sanitization, so there is a danger.

But why is there no need for sterilization?

Although I don't know the areas and rules of other players, judging from the words of Xu Tingfang, who was disguised as the "monster" just now, everyone's experience should be similar.

The only difference should be that some places have been disinfected and some places have not.

In addition, the rules mention that "Jiuqu Lane does not need to be disinfected", which is not needed, not that it has not been disinfected, or that it has failed to be disinfected.

The only explanation Luo Chengyou can think of is only one...... Whether this lane, called Jiuqu Lane, has been disinfected or not, is meaningless to the entire village.

That's why a "no" is used.

However, why is the act of disinfecting Jiuqu Lane meaningless?

Which situation would make the act of sanitizing meaningless?

Luo Chengyou stared at the slimy, frog-egg-like black particulate matter on the ground, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Those who have survived until now may have their own character shortcomings, but they will definitely not be stupid.

Luo Chengyou thought of a possibility.

Perhaps, this roadway is not used at all, so it does not make much sense to enter and not disinfect it.

But this possibility is a bit reluctant, after all, even if this roadway is no longer used, but the "pathogen" inside is still there, it is always a threat, unless the aborigines of the sick village have verified that the "pathogen" in this roadway will not spread outward, so it is said that there is "no need" to disinfect.

But...... Will that be the case?

Luo Chengyou couldn't be sure, he could only remain skeptical.

However, running in the dark alley, Luo Chengyou's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

He had never been so frightened because he found ...... On both sides of this alleyway, it is actually narrowing!

That is, this roadway is most likely a narrow funnel shape!

The entrance is already its maximum, and the further you go inside, the narrower it becomes.

He quickly slowed down again.

However, if you continue to slow down, the battery of your phone will not be able to last!

This alleyway is too dim to walk without mobile phone lighting, and you will definitely step on those "frog eggs".

If he didn't slow down, as he advanced, the walls on both sides narrowed, and he would definitely touch the walls!

Luo Chengyou broke out in a cold sweat.

Three rules popped into his mind.

[Do not touch the wall.] 】

[Once you enter, you can't stop.] 】

[Don't look back.] 】
