The three of them pushed hard on the wall at three corners, and their bodies flew out like swimming fish.
"I found it!"
Meng Fei was the first to emerge from the water, stepped on the water hard, stretched his arms as far as possible, and touched a large piece of broken glass.
"Okay, I'll do it!"
An Sheng, who swam over following Meng Fei's voice, dived into the broken ceiling lamp like an iron man, punched a few times and completely smashed the two layers of glass panels, tearing off the lamp holder and so on and throwing it into the water.
The wire was pulled off, and a few sparks burst out, suddenly lighting up the dark passage.
"Damn it, there really is a Rubik's Cube here and an iron door!"
This is the kind of iron gate that is common in civil defense fortifications.
Generally, the mechanism for opening and locking this kind of iron door is a handwheel similar to a steering wheel. Turn the hand wheel to switch. But now the place where the handwheel should have been has been replaced by a Rubik's Cube.
A metal rod protrudes from the door and fixes the middle color block on the uppermost side of the Rubik's Cube to the iron door. In addition to this color block, other color blocks can still be rotated.
"Don't touch that thing, let Meng Fei fix it!"
Li Huo quickly reminded him to prevent Ansheng from ruining everything by being careless.
“Nonsense, of course I won’t move.
“Be careful not to touch the wires when you come up!
"Don't get electrocuted here!"
Everything went according to Meng Fei's plan. He was the second to climb up the iron handrail in the passage that was exposed after the ceiling light was smashed.
If there was an accident, it was that Li Huo, who was third to climb up, was stepped on in the nose by him, causing his nose to bleed immediately.
Li Huo climbed up unbearably.
There is only 1.5 cubic meters of space in the passage, so it is a bit difficult to accommodate three people. But Li Huo couldn't run too far. If he ran too far and couldn't find the entrance, he would be dead.
Of course the water hasn't reached the ceiling yet, but it's getting close. According to his estimate, the water surface is less than half a meter, or almost 400 millimeters, from the ceiling.
As the water level rises, the rate of rise has slowed down, but it is still at least 20 millimeters per second.
After 20 seconds, the water reaches the ceiling. Because the channel is narrow, whoever is left has no time to fill the channel!
So he insisted on grabbing the lowest iron handrail. We expect Meng Fei to solve the Rubik's Cube within 5 seconds as planned. He still has 15 seconds to escape.
But then a foot stepped on his finger.
"Who is stepping on me!"
"Are you talking about me? But Meng Fei stepped on my shoulders!"
An Sheng shouted from above.
"Move your feet!"
"If I move away, they will all fall down!"
"At least don't activate your powers! Damn, it's so heavy, my bones will break!"
Li Huo felt that what stepped on his fingers was not a foot, but a piece of iron.
"I can't control myself in times of crisis!"
Li Huo restrained the urge to use "forbidden" again to prohibit Ansheng from using his powers. If An Sheng is banned from using his powers and his body becomes limp and falls down, then everything will be lost.
As Li Huo's finger bones were stepped on, a crisp mechanical sound came from above his head. Meng Fei successfully solved the Rubik's Cube by turning blindly with one hand!
The time taken was about the same as Li Huo expected, about 5 seconds. 15 seconds left!
Then Meng Fei grabbed the iron rod behind the Rubik's Cube and pulled hard. The heavy iron door seemed to be connected to some kind of hydraulic device and slowly opened.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds,...
It's as slow as a turtle. In particular, the iron door opened downwards, so Meng Fei had to move downwards at the same time.
Meng Fei stepped on Ansheng, while Ansheng continued to stomp on Li Huo with his steel and iron bones, until Li Huo was about to cry without tears, and could only shout in despair:
"Hurry! The water will come up soon!"
But Meng Fei had already used all his strength to open the door. The hydraulic device is like this, the damping is very large, you can't just have as many as you want.
Eight seconds, nine seconds, ten seconds...
If the water surges up, the half-open iron door will be slammed shut by the impact of the water. The force of tens of thousands of kilograms is definitely not something that any ordinary force can stop.
"Okay, crawl!"
Meng Fei suddenly shouted, and then forced his way out through the gap in the half-open iron door.
He drilled and pushed hard, trying to open the iron door wider. Then he grabbed AXA downwards and pulled hard.
An Sheng exerted his strength of steel and iron bones, climbed up with a chirp, and then turned around and pulled Li Huo, who had been stepped on until his finger bones were shattered and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Three seconds left!
At the last moment, Li Huo inspired his ancestral power, grabbed the last glimmer of hope with ape-like agility, and crawled out with most of his body.
The moment the water level reached the ceiling, it suddenly overflowed like a bottle of Coke that had been opened after shaking. The strong impact pushed the heavy iron door and closed it with a bang.
At this time, Li Huo's feet were still on the other side of the iron gate.
Under the severe pain of both feet being chopped off, he immediately let out a terrifying scream. With this background sound, a dialog box glowing with blue light appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Congratulations! You have successfully cleared this game!"
Only then did Meng Fei remember that passing the level only required survival, not physical integrity. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
…
Meng Fei suddenly felt a twitch all over his body and woke up.
He didn't twitch in a dream, but in reality. The goddess was still curled up in his arms and sleeping with her head on his chest. At his move, the pair of gods woke up.
"What happened to you!"
Hearing his pounding heartbeat, Ai Ting lazily stretched out her hand that was originally on his chest and pinched his face, as if to confirm whether he was still intact.
"I just seemed to have had a nightmare."
Meng Fei also felt panicked.
"Nightmare? What nightmare?"
"I feel like I remembered it very clearly just now, but now I have forgotten everything."
Meng Fei scratched his head helplessly.
Sometimes dreams are like this. The moment you wake up, you feel that you remember it very clearly, but after a few seconds, your thoughts change and you forget about anything else.
"It is said that sometimes I have nightmares at night because of cardiovascular problems. I can't feel it during the day, and I will have palpitations and panic when I sleep."
Ai Ting said somewhat uneasily.
Meng Fei quickly scanned his heart.
Nothing wrong with it at all.
"I just checked it, it's fine."
Meng Fei continued to scratch his wife's back.
But the scene in the room was strange. Because Meng Fei just muted the TV before going to bed and did not turn off the image. So the whole wall was still playing a horror movie with flickering light and shadow.
Ai Ting glanced at the screen and said, "Who told you to watch these things? You will definitely have nightmares."
After saying that, she grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV directly. The room suddenly became dark. Only the dark orange sky outside can be seen through the gaps in the curtains.
