Volume III Second Floor. Abyss Chapter 113. Familiar strangers

has been hiding in the maze and resting for several days, except for the first day, when everyone was startled when they saw Liu Ruyan, who was covered in blood, they were startled, and there was not much danger in the following days, relying on Tang Ling's ultra-advanced danger radar detector, a group of them can be said to have enjoyed pleasure and leisure in this maze for a long time, and they felt in a trance that they seemed to really come to travel.

During this period of time, everyone has gradually figured out the second level of the maze and some characteristics of those monsters. This whole labyrinth, the fixed time of the day every day is from nine o'clock in the morning to two o'clock in the afternoon, the law of day and night change of five to nineteen, according to this law, everyone also arranged the law of night vigil, and Tang Ling because of repeated insistence, finally became every night to rely on her to pay attention to the surrounding situation, and then the rest of the people took turns to accompany Tang Ling every six hours, and then in the five hours of the day, Tang Ling was responsible for resting, and everyone went to the next safer place according to the route provided by Tang Ling at night.

Then there were the monsters that had been encountered so far, and they had clearly found that they would hardly appear during the day, but at night, they were surrounded by the same kind of dolls they had first encountered, and in the dim sight, they could not find which corner they could turn around. In addition, there is another kind of monster to watch out for, which is those flowers that they didn't think of as a flower growing on the wall.

The reason for knowing that this flower is also dangerous is Zhang Ziang. In the middle of the night, he suddenly had a stomachache and wanted to find a corner to solve it, but the thing slept in a daze, I don't know which corner I ran to, the flashlight in my hand shone on a brightly blooming flower on the wall, and he himself was not very conscious, and his first reaction was to reach out and pick the flower to see what kind of variety it was, but he was stopped by Tang Ling, who had a premonition of danger, and then under the gaze of a group of people who were woken up, a few steps away from Zhang Ziang, a flower that looked very similar to a poppy, Growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, a baby's head was slowly revealed in its stamens, and its face, which had been sleeping peacefully, was stimulated by the light of Zhang Ziang's flashlight, and then let out a cry as sharp as the tip of a knife rubbing against glass, and the vine leaves that were wrapped around the flower began to writhe wildly, flying straight towards the culprit who disturbed its dreams.

Zhang Ziang, who had been frightened by the hideous baby's face, just looked at the rattans wrapped around his body, until Zhang Ziang, who was twisted into pain by the continuous tightening of the force, and hurriedly struggled, those rattans with thorns had cut through his clothes and pierced into his smooth flesh, like being anesthetized in the hospital, Zhang Ziang felt that his brain was getting more and more dizzy, and he could clearly feel that these rattans were greedily sucking the blood flowing from his wounds.

It was obviously a very bloody and cruel torture, but Zhang Ziang actually began to feel strange for a while, he seemed to have fallen into some illusion, and when he saw himself in high school, he was wearing a school uniform, holding the most basic math problems to ask Lu Li, who was sitting at the table in front of him, gently pulled her flowing ponytail, and then looked at the other party's somewhat coquettish eyes that turned his head and stared at him, Zhang Ziang smiled contentedly, he couldn't hide his youth and liked to fill his chest, he tilted his head, Watching Lu Li turn around and lie on his desk, whispering math problems beside him, his mouth full of complaints and ridicule of his IQ, but still patiently teaching him step by step.

With Lu Li's concentration, Zhang Ziang's crooked head also got closer and closer, his throat moved several times because of nervousness, and the faint fragrance emanating from the girl's body became stronger and stronger, and he tentatively lowered his head little by little, until the white forehead was close to him......

Then in the next second, the beautiful picture shattered, and a huge slap fell on his face. With a "snap", the person woke up, and his happiness was gone. Zhang Ziang opened his eyes blankly, his consciousness gradually retracted, and then he saw Zhou Chen, who was close at hand, staring at him indifferently, and after seeing that he finally woke up, he mocked lightly: "Yo! Finally woke up, what did you dream about? The spout is as pouting as a kettle. ”

"What? Ahhhh Zhang Ziang, who was still immersed in the illusion just now, was full of question marks, and then the next second there was a sharp pain in his body, and the vineman wrapped around his body was torn off by brute force, and Lu Li looked at him a little speechless on the side, still holding the vineman he had just ripped off in his hand.

Later, after Liu Ruyan's treatment, Zhang Ziang became vigorous again, and then according to other people's accounts, Zhang Ziang knew that he had been trapped in a fantasy by the toxin secreted from the thorns on the vine, but fortunately, Tang Ling and others rescued in time, otherwise Zhang Ziang would have become the fertilizer of so many baby face flowers.

After this experience, everyone also knew that a new kind of monster in this labyrinth, the harmless flower that grew on the wall, after being stimulated at night, would use the vine note around it to entangle the intruder, secrete toxin to make it fall into a sinking illusion, and devour his flesh and blood little by little.

As for Zhang Ziang, after experiencing this catastrophe, when he saw the flowers blooming around him, he had a stress reaction, hid far away, and kept muttering: "The more beautiful things are, the more poisonous!" It made everyone cry and laugh, as for some people who were curious about what was in Zhang Ziang's fantasy, he himself refused to say whether he was killed, no matter how Zhou Chen used the strategy, he still didn't let him go.

It's been more than a week at the second level, maybe more? I don't know, I can only keep looking up to see the rotation of day and night, and I can't count the number of times. So far, the people have not found the exit to the maze that the cat said. This place was much bigger than they had imagined, and Lu Shang had marked a small mark everywhere they went, but so far, they had never walked back to the place they had walked through, it was always a new scene, and they kept groping in the unfamiliar.

"If you continue like this, let alone a month, you won't be able to reach the exit for a year." Arrived at a new resting place that Tang Ling said, Zhang Ziang sat down on the ground all of a sudden, looked at the one o'clock in the afternoon displayed on his mobile phone, and the number of survivors had dropped to 21, Zhang Ziang was a little deflated.

They are always groping in a new scene, although they rely on Tang Ling's ability to skillfully avoid many dangers, but the eternal labyrinth, the towering walls one after another, there is never an end to the road. The only thing that can be seen is the canopy above that regularly alternates day and night, and the broken mobile phone in his hand, the decreasing number of survivors. So far, they haven't met many people, they don't know the situation of other people, and they are even beginning to wonder if there are only a few of them left in this huge space. Slowly, human life seems to have become a string of numbers, coldly lowering, witnessing the fall of another life without any real feeling.

In addition to self-perception, the existence of life must also have the testimony of others. Animals living in groups for too long can begin to feel empty and numb and doubt the meaning of their existence. The current Zhang Ziang group of people is like this, although they still have each other, but only each other is left, they look at each other as if they are looking in a mirror of their own, each other and themselves, as if they are in the same state - numbly doubting the value of survival.

Hanging on to their lives with what little food they had left, and then holding on to the outlet of hope given to them by the cat in the video, they kept wandering through this labyrinth, from full joy to no waves, and disappointment and despair continued to accumulate.

I thought I would continue to look for the so-called way out so dejectedly, until they saw everyone other than their group again.

At half past one in the afternoon, everyone moved to a new place again, and as soon as they arrived at this place, Lu Shang noticed that something was wrong. He stopped the people around him and watched his surroundings warily.

"What's wrong?" Tang Yong asked Lu Shang with Tang Ling, who was still asleep, on his back.

"There are traces of people staying here. Look at the grass on the ground, it is evident that it has been trodden down. Lu Shang pointed to the flattened weeds in the ground and said to everyone, "It looks like you just left?" ”

"So there are other living people in this labyrinth? I feel like I'm going to think I'm the only one left in this maze after all this time. Zhang Ziang listened to Lu Shang's words, and looked at the ground curiously, as Lu Shang said, this piece of grass was obviously different from the place they had passed before, and a large number of weeds seemed to have been crushed by heavy objects and fell on the soil.

But is it really leaving? Could it be that they deliberately hid after hearing the sound of their group of people coming?

Lu Shang observed the surrounding scenery with a calm face, there were intersections everywhere that could be left, whether the group of people really left by chance or deliberately, Lu Shang was not sure at this time, but his heart had already been raised, but there was no other way at the moment, it was getting dark, he couldn't take the risk of putting his teammates and him in other dangers, so he could only be more careful here.

After reminding the people around him, Lu Shang took Zhou Chen and Zhang Ziang to check the surrounding intersections, while Liu Ruyan, Lu Li, and Tang Yong were responsible for staying where they were and waiting.

"Looks like they've gone far."

Zhou Chen looked at the clear traces of the ground extending into the distance, and said to Lu Shang beside him.

"I hope so. Let's go back. Lu Shang nodded, and was about to take Zhou Chen and Zhang Ziang back when he heard the noise of others in the distance.

Something happened?!

The three of them glanced at each other, and hurriedly ran in the direction of their companions, and as soon as they returned to the resting place, they saw a few people standing there, opposite Lu Li with a vigilant face, Tang Yong tightly hugged Tang Ling who woke up in his arms, and stared nervously at the people opposite.

"Lu Shang be careful!"

Lu Shang, who was about to step forward, suddenly heard Zhang Ziang's voice, and his whole person was pushed to the side at random, and a huge fireball flew past him and smashed into the wall in the distance, the tangled blades of grass burned randomly, and the fierce flames began to spread throughout the wall, and then suddenly, under the shocked eyes of Lu Shang and several others, the fire gradually extinguished, leaving only a charred stump fragment.

"It's a shame that it didn't hit." A frivolous male voice said regretfully, Lu Shang turned his head to look, among those people, a man with long hair and a sturdy figure waved his hand with some regret, and then looked at Lu Shang and the others smiled more and more brightly.

"You ...... What do you want to do? ”

Lu Shang squinted at the men and women in front of him, the appearance of several people was very familiar, his vague memory slowly linked the names to the faces of these people, these people were all one of the 50 players, just one of the couple, if he remembered correctly, at the beginning of the first level, they seemed to have died in that corridor, why are they standing here unharmed now?

"Mr. Lu, are you surprised to see us?"

The man behind the long-haired boy walked out and smiled treacherously at Lu Shang, this person was the husband of the couple who was kicked out of the room before he had time to pack his things at the beginning, Zhou Wei, and his wife standing next to him with the same sinister smile, Chen Lu.

"Mr. Zhou, Ms. Chen, weren't you killed in that corridor?"
