Borderlands: The Death Examination Room Chapter 23: The Immortal Corridor (3)

Exit the ammunition depot and turn right to a long straight corridor with no windows and oil paintings on both sides.

"The hidden mission is just different, I've been around here the first two times, and I've never seen any of these paintings."

Zhu Xinyue walked in the front, and when she heard the voice, she turned around and said, "Then what kind of tasks did you receive before?" ”

"Missions are nothing more than ordinary things like finding things, escorting things, rescuing hostages, etc., but the most dangerous thing in this exam room is never the mission."

Zhu Xinyue let out an "oh" and asked, "Are those people from the 'average S3' team really dead?" ”

Cheng Sikong laughed at her: "Do you think that such a big battle is to let you come to play at home?" ”

Even if I knew that this exam would inevitably lead to blood, it still took time for those who grew up in peacetime to accept it.

Jiang Ruzhou asked: "Can only one person pass the exam in the end?" ”

"Of course not, there are six places to pass each exam, in order of points."

Cheng Sikong raised his head to admire the oil painting, and said in a normal tone: "But the kill information in the examination room can only be seen by the killer himself, that is to say, you never know if you will be one of the six people who won, or if you happen to be unfortunate enough to be ranked seventh." ”

Shu Yungui stood at the first oil painting and didn't move, and only then did he say from afar: "Therefore, in order not to be removed from the examination room for the seventh place, every candidate present will desperately kill everyone who can see around him, even his teammates." ”

Except for Cheng Sikong and Shu Yungui, the other four people all had a bad chill when they heard the sound.

"That's right, when the number of competitors is uncertain, teammates become new enemies in a sense."

Shu Yungui raised his head and said slowly: "Testing human nature is the most dangerous part of this exam. ”

Zhu Xinyue covered her mouth and asked Cheng Sikong: "Did your former teammates also think about killing you?" ”

Cheng Sikong didn't answer her, but smiled meaningfully, turned his head and shouted Shu Yungui: "What have you been standing there looking at?" ”

"I found the content of these paintings to be coherent."

Shu Yungui pointed to several paintings in front of him and swiped them from left to right.

"The four paintings in front of me are supposed to be from the Paleo-Earth period, because the sun on it is golden-red, and our artificial sun is pale golden."

Cheng Jing walked over, carefully examined the paintings, and confirmed: "That's right, it's the ancient earth, and the ape man in the first painting belongs to the original ape, and it is the earliest ancient ape discovered by paleogeobiologists." ”

"In other words, the ancestors of mankind are painted here."

"That's right, the first is the early ape-man, followed by the late ape-man, the early Homo sapiens, and the late Homo sapiens, and these four paintings tell the origin of humans."

Cheng Sikong continued: "Then it seems that what I am painting here is that mankind has entered the era of civilization. ”

"At the beginning, it was a slave society, writing appeared, and then it entered the monarchy, and then it came to the republican form of government, and the rapid development of human social civilization, the rise of cities, and the birth of modern technology."

Lu Ting and Zhu Xinyue stood on the right side of the corridor, Zhu Xinyue touched her face and said suspiciously: "What we painted here is ...... Be...... Stones fall from the sky! Ah! ”

Lu Ting knocked her brain, and said angrily: "This is the era of human beings entering the post-civilization era, natural disasters have come, how did you take history class?" ”

Zhu Xinyue covered her head and muttered: "I want to study history well and graduate early!" ”

Lu Ting took a step forward, followed the order of oil paintings, and said as he walked: "In the post-civilization era, natural disasters occurred frequently, and a large number of cosmic stars hit the ancient earth, resulting in drastic changes in the ecological environment of the ancient earth, which is no longer suitable for human existence. ”

"The second one is...... Humans tried to save themselves, formulated a plan for the migration of the star field, and began to build the migration spaceship. ”

"The third ...... Well? ”

The place where the third painting should have hung is vacant, revealing yellowed old walls.

"Looks like someone just took it!"

Shu Yungui stepped forward quickly and touched a handful of powder that fell from the corner.

These paintings are so large that they inevitably bump into the walls when they are removed, leaving a conspicuous white mark.

"There may be other teams that have also triggered the Hidden Team Mission, and they are one step ahead of us."

Everyone immediately became alert, and the team gathered, everyone turned their backs inwards and faced outwards, forming a circle, and one person was on guard in one direction.

"Let's see if there's any mural in the back."

Cheng Sikong guarded the outermost side and reminded in a deep voice.

"There is also a fourth picture, which depicts the take-off of the immigration spacecraft, and the twelve spaceships set off in twelve directions according to the clock, opening the first interstellar migration of mankind."

Shu Yungui glanced at the entire corridor again and said in a low voice: "That's right, all the oil paintings here tell about the entire process of human beings on the ancient earth from their birth to their departure from the ancient earth. ”

"But why are these paintings hanging in the exam room?"

Zhu Xinyue was very puzzled: "The exam is so intense, who will have the leisure time to appreciate oil paintings?" ”

"Existence is reasonable, and perhaps the answer lies in the oil painting that was taken away."

From the time humans build the immigration spaceship to the time the spacecraft takes off, what is missing in between?

The history of the first interstellar migration of mankind is not described too much in the textbooks, and the book calls it "a great tribulation faced by mankind", leaving only endless praise and praise for mankind at that time.

Shu Yungui couldn't think of an answer for a while, and there were still 2 hours and 1 minute left in the countdown to the task.

Time is of the essence and I can't stay here long.

With Shu Yungui and Jiang Ruzhou in front, Cheng Jing and Lu Ting in the center, and the team behind Cheng Sikong and Zhu Xinyue slowly walked towards the end of the corridor.

At this moment, a white light suddenly lit up in the distance, and the light was so strong that Shu Yungui and Jiang Ruzhou couldn't open their eyes.

Deprivation of sight, hearing becomes extremely sensitive.

"Kill them!"

As soon as I heard the sound, the "Instantaneous Defense" was triggered by the impact from the outside world!

It was as if something heavy had been bounced out and then landed with a muffled thud.

There was not even a wail, but Shu Yungui's communicator rang.

[The "Human Pioneer" team Shu Yungui killed the "average S3" team Guan Yi, Shu Yungui +50 points, and the rest of the "Human Pioneer" team +10 points.] 】

Shu Yungui's personal points jumped to 130 points.

There was an "ah" in the distance, and the light suddenly dimmed.

It turned out that someone was holding a large searchlight at them, trying to sneak attack them at the moment when their vision was blind.

It's a pity that the fire axe thrown out was bounced back by Shu Yungui's "instantaneous defense", hitting the door of the brain.

On average, the last two members of the S3 team wanted to run with the oil painting they had taken off the wall, but the frame was so heavy that one of them stumbled and the two fell together.

"Is this really an S3?"

Zhu Xinyue said in disbelief: "I always thought that the higher the level authority, the more powerful the person. ”

Cheng Sikong laughed: "Thinking too much, those S5 old immortals at the top of the alliance will definitely not be able to beat you in 800 meters." ”

He was laughing, but Shu Yungui, who was the leader, was stunned, and pointed to the oil painting on the ground and shouted, "The statue of the Virgin?!" ”

It seems that they have all been deceived by preconceived notions, and when everyone heard that they were looking for the statue of the Virgin, they thought it was a sculpture, but they did not expect that the painting depicted a Virgin with a low brow and a bow of her head, showing mercy to the world.

Cheng Sikong immediately made a move, "coordinate rewriting" wanted to pull the oil painting to his side.

But the bullet that came from behind him made him stop casting his ability and turn around to rewrite the coordinates of the deadly bullet first.

The bullet was stopped only when it reached him, and it appeared on the ceiling in an instant.

Cheng Sikong squinted his eyes and burst out with a sneer from his teeth.

"The ghost is not gone, Ryker the dog."

Shu Yungui immediately turned around, and sure enough, he saw that the six members of the wick team were blocked at the other end of the corridor, and the members of the wind element who were disabled by him had changed to another unfamiliar face.

"The wick team's combat effectiveness is too high, Cheng Sikong and I stay, you go and grab the statue of the Virgin!"

Zhu Xinyue and the others switched positions with Shu Yungui in response, and chased after the two people who had run away.

The ice blades pursued and were all blocked by Shu Yungui's "instantaneous defense".

The physical energy surged, and for some reason, with the repeated use of the mutation ability, Shu Yungui gradually felt that there was a strange power in his body, accumulating more and more, as if he was about to break out of his body.

Before the skate blades landed, the guns of Cheng Sikong and the vicious dog Lake rang out at the same time!

Shu Yun returned in front of Cheng Sikong and tried to trigger the "instantaneous defense", but the bullet grazed the edge of his defense range and shot towards the people who were snatching the statue of the Virgin!

In a flash of lightning, Cheng Sikong backhanded "coordinate rewriting" and blocked the statue of the Virgin Mary in front of the bullet!

The frame bursts, and the canvas inside shatters into countless pieces!

One of the Wick Squad members of the Water Elemental also fell backwards, a little blood oozing from the bullet hole in his eyebrow.

["Human Pioneer" team Cheng Sikong killed "Wick" team Jiang Chao, Cheng Sikong +50 points, and the rest of the "Human Pioneer" team members +10 points.] 】

Cheng Sikong's personal points jumped to 220 points.

"It's a chip?!"

Zhu Xinyue shouted: "There is a chip hidden in the statue of the Virgin!" ”

As soon as she shouted, the remaining two people of the "average S3" team rushed up to grab it, and Jiang Ruzhou sent it out with a punch, knocking one of them away, and his body landed right on the sharp broken wood of the broken frame.

The human body twitched, and the hands were still clutching in the void, trying to catch the chip when they were dying.

[Jiang Ruzhou of the "Human Pioneers" team killed Bai Chen of the "average S3" team, Jiang Ruzhou +50 points, and the rest of the "Human Pioneers" team +10 points. 】

At this point, five people from the "average S3" team have died, and the remaining one person watched his points go to zero in horror, so scared that he didn't even grab the chip, and pushed Zhu Xinyue away and ran away.

Rayker's bullets from the vicious dog come head-on.

"Instead of being removed from the exam room, you should add a little bit of points to me."

Lake looked at his communicator to make sure he had the score, and a wicked smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

Shu Yungui thought badly, and immediately shouted: "New moon! Take the chip and go! ”

As soon as Zhu Xinyue picked up the chip, the hidden team task was updated.

[The "Human Vanguard" team has obtained the Statue of Our Lady ×1, please place the Statue of Our Lady in front of the Disaster Monument in Lake Aidom within 5 minutes, and if the mission fails, the whole team will be removed.] 】

Five minutes?!

Zhu Xinyue felt that she was only slightly surprised, and when she looked at the communicator again, the time on it showed that there was only -

4 minutes and 42 seconds.
