"Huh? You're saying that the three of you met Qi on the way and your girlfriend Zhao Xiaomei was killed by Qi while escaping? And the same goes for Yao Fujiang?"
At this moment, after listening to Wu Wei's half-truth and half-false narration in front of him, Zhao Ping still didn't have much surprised reaction. Not only was he not surprised, he didn't even show the sadness that he should feel when his teammate died, as if he was dead. They were not teammates but insignificant cats and dogs. The bespectacled man's reaction was so bland, but...
However, it was precisely the other party's calm reaction that made Wu Wei feel terrified.
Inexplicably, the young president of the company thought of something and recalled something Yao Fujiang had said to him and Zhao Xiaomei earlier. The guy wearing glasses in front of him really gave people a different feeling from other senior people. Different from He Fei who seems to have a kind temper, different from Ye Wei who seems to be generous, different from Peng Hu who seems to have a hot temper, different from Cheng Ying who seems to be arrogant, and even different from Yao Fujiang who has a straightforward personality. This man named Zhao Ping gave him a cold feeling that he had never experienced before. Of course, the reason why Wu Wei felt this way was largely affected by Yao Fujiang's initial remarks, but it was undeniable that he was standing in front of him now. The bespectacled man did have an indifferent attitude towards the death of his teammates.
This inevitably made Wu Wei, who was somewhat untruthful, even more frustrated and uneasy.
Yes, Wu Wei knew how Zhao Xiaomei and Yao Fujiang died. Not only did he not know, but the deaths of these two people were also inseparable from him, and they were all directly or indirectly killed by him. Only his girlfriend Zhao Xiaomei, At that time, he would only kick the other person in order to escape as soon as possible. As for Yao Fujiang... the young president of the company could not tell the truth no matter what. When faced with the bespectacled man's questioning, Wu Wei, although timid, could be regarded as thoughtful. He immediately made up a story that could be mistaken for the real thing, and then narrated the whole story in a half-truth and half-false way.
As for Zhao Ping, after listening to Wu Wei's narration, he really didn't have any reaction. He just asked a question in a rhetorical tone. Seeing the other party asking again, Wu Wei couldn't help but change his face slightly. Even so, thanks to the darkness of the surrounding environment, he knew that It was impossible for the other party to notice anything, so Wu Wei rolled his eyes and nodded and replied: "Yes, they are just like this... just like this... ugh... Xiaomei, my Xiaomei... If only I could Looking back, this kind of thing will never happen..."
Speaking of this, Wu Wei became more and more sad the more he talked about it. In the end, he even cried a little while showing pain on his face. He seemed to be a really good man who values love and justice.
Wu Wei was regretful and sad alone there, while Zhao Ping remained silent. In the darkness, you couldn't see the expression on his face or what he was thinking. For a moment, the man with glasses just looked at Wu who was in grief in front of him. Wei and Wei stood in the dark power room without moving for a long time. It took a long time, until Wu Wei gradually stopped sobbing, and Zhao Ping opened his mouth to Wu Wei after scanning the surrounding environment: "Then now..."
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
Unexpectedly, before Zhao Ping could finish speaking, there was a noise. The sound came from outside the door, from directly above the stairs next to the door. There was a series of footsteps coming from far and near in the stairs!
In the dark environment, you can clearly feel the footsteps are a little hasty. It is obvious that if it is possible to remove the gnats, then the person who is currently going downstairs...
At this moment, not to mention that Zhao Ping's heart tightened when he heard the footsteps, but Wu Wei in front of him suddenly changed his face when he heard the footsteps! The footsteps in his ears reminded him of the footsteps he had heard in the utility room on the 10th floor not long ago. Yes, it was those footsteps that attracted him, his girlfriend, and Yao Fujiang to run out of their hiding place. Then, they were deceived and deceived by the string of footsteps, otherwise their position would not be exposed and they would not end up like this. Although Zhao Xiaomei and Yao Fujiang died, it is undeniable that the culprits of all this came from the string of footsteps. Voice.
Lobsters can disguise their voices to deceive humans!
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. When he heard footsteps for the second time, Wu Wei, who had personally experienced being deceived by snakes, was almost scared to death for the second time. He did not wait for the bespectacled man in front of him to react. Wu Wei, who had already subconsciously regarded his footsteps as a deception trap, said to Zhao Ping on the spot: "Don't, don't go out! It's a wolf! It must be a wolf!"
It's a pity that Wu Wei's stop was not adopted by Zhao Ping. Admittedly, Zhao Ping's first reaction when he first heard the footsteps was similar to Wu Wei's. He was also worried that it was a deception trap created by Qi, but the difference with Wu Wei was that , Compared to Wu Wei, who knew very little about the Sombra, he knew the murderous conditions of the Sombus and had already ruled out the possibility of a scorpion trap in a moment. It was obvious that although the Sombra in this mission was Like most slugs, it is murderous and cruel, but it is also somewhat special. The biggest special thing is that the black shadow slug can only kill in an environment with light and shadow. The environment he is currently in is pitch black, and the power supply equipment behind him has also been destroyed. Destroyed, in this case...
So, knowing that it cannot kill people in the dark, would the black shadow slug still make such a sound to deceive the executor? What's more, from the clues he got, there is no need to look for the black shadow worm if it wants to kill someone. As long as you have a shadow, the black shadow worm can find and kill you in an instant. In other words, in this supernatural mission There's no point in hiding.
The main reason why Wu Wei and the other three were deceived by the Black Shadow Bug was that the three of them happened to be in a lightless utility room at that time, and outside the door was a brightly lit corridor. The Black Shadow Bug couldn't kill people in a dark environment, so Only then would he deliberately make a noise and successfully lure the three of them to leave the utility room voluntarily.
in this case……
There are a lot of descriptions. In fact, all of these are the instant thoughts in the bespectacled man's mind when the footsteps sounded. As I said before, let's not talk about the analytical abilities of senior people. When it comes to caution and control of logic, Zhao Ping is not inferior to anyone. People, without a logical brain, would not be able to survive in the cursed space until now. Sure enough, based on this kind of logical thinking, based on the characteristics of the black shadow mango, and the fact that hiding is meaningless, after thinking about it for a moment, Zhao Ping moved, first Pushing Wu Wei away who was shivering in front of him, the next moment, Zhao Ping pushed the door open and walked out...
squeak.
Perhaps it was because the sound of the door opening was also very clear in a quiet environment. As soon as Zhao Ping walked out of the power room, the footsteps approaching above him stopped instantly. The atmosphere was a bit strange. Zhao Ping, who walked out of the room, stood at the top of the stairs without moving. , the owner of the footsteps that sounded quite close above seemed to be in a state of pause, and the atmosphere became extremely tense for a moment. However, after a moment of silence, after thinking about it, Zhao Ping took the lead in raising his head and staring at the stairs above, and then said into the darkness Say a word:
"I am Zhao Ping."
Next, an accident happened. As soon as the man with glasses finished speaking, the footsteps that had stopped started again. As the distance gradually got closer, soon, two familiar figures walked down the stairs and came directly to the man with glasses. .
The corridor is indeed very dark, but for the executors who have been in the dark environment for a long time, everyone has basically adapted to the darkness. After the distance is close to a certain extent, the two sides can see each other clearly for the first time, and the person who walks in front of Zhao Ping The two figures were none other than Ye Wei and Cheng Ying who had just arrived on the seventh floor.
As soon as they met and confirmed that the person in front of them was Zhao Ping, Ye Wei and Cheng Ying couldn't help but froze. They really didn't expect to meet the long-lost man with glasses here, but there is a saying that between smart people. Communication between people is often very simple, and some words are completely unnecessary. Just when Zhao Ping was guessing in his mind where the two people who had not seen each other for a long time were going to go, and looked at the man with glasses up and down, Cheng Ying immediately said: "In the middle The lights in the corridors on several floors and the power outage in the building just now...are all your fault, right?"
Seeing that Cheng Ying went straight to the key point without any nonsense, Zhao Ping simply nodded decisively and replied: "Well, I did it..."
After saying this, Zhao Ping paused slightly. At the same time, a pair of eyes under the lenses looked directly at the steel pipe in Cheng Ying's hand, and then continued: "As for the reason, I don't think you need me to explain it, right?"
In fact, this is not the point. For Zhao Ping, who met his teammates here, what he is currently concerned about is neither what the other party was doing before, nor does he intend to ask knowingly what the two notices mean, or even ask He Fei and He Fei. Peng Hu had no plans for his whereabouts. Now he only cared about the purpose of Ye Wei and Cheng Ying rushing downstairs. So it was natural that after answering Cheng Ying's question, he narrowed his eyes and the bespectacled man He then raised his question to the two of them: "What I did during this period was very simple. It was nothing more than looking for the power supply room and finally turning off the main power. What I really want to know at this moment is what you two are going to do now." ?”
squeak.
"Ah! Mr. Ye, it turns out it's you! That's great! That's great!"
At the same time, as three senior people were talking to each other outside the door, they confirmed that the person who came was a human being, and a man with glasses went out to act as a pathfinder for him. Sure enough, Wu Wei, who was originally huddled in the power room, was overjoyed. Overjoyed, he ran out of the power room. Especially when he saw Ye Wei, the young president of the company, who had been afraid for a long time, was as happy as if he had met a relative. Finally! Ye Wei was finally found. With the captain who took good care of him, at least in Wu Wei's opinion, his safety would be further guaranteed. However... when he arrived at the door, Wu Wei immediately expressed his joy in words, but it was a pity that But few people present paid attention to him. Except for Ye Wei, who nodded slightly to him out of consideration for face, Zhao Ping and Cheng Ying on the side didn't even look at him as if he didn't exist.
Let’s get back to the subject, let’s not talk about Wu Wei’s embarrassment when being ignored by everyone. After getting along for a long time, both Ye Wei and Cheng Ying are familiar with the personality and behavior of the man with glasses. It is precisely because they are familiar with each other that they just met. , seeing that the bespectacled man did not ask He Fei and Peng Hu, nor did he mention who was Yao Fujiang, Ye Wei, who had searched for a few people to no avail during the process of going downstairs, already understood that Zhao Ping most likely did not see anyone else. In desperation, Ye Wei, who was increasingly worried about the safety of several people, did not mention the matter in one fell swoop. Instead, she was somewhat concerned about Wu Wei. Obviously, leaving aside Yao Fujiang, who was also missing like He Fei and Peng Hu, Ye Wei It's impossible not to know that Wu Wei has been staying with Zhao Xiaomei, but...
But why is Wu Wei the only one in front of him at this moment? If Wu Wei and Zhao Ping were together by chance, then where was Zhao Xiaomei, who was inseparable from Wu Wei?
To be honest, only Ye Wei cares a little about the above issues. For Zhao Ping, who has always been indifferent, and Cheng Ying, who has never paid attention to newcomers and now only cares about He Fei and Peng Hu's safety, the two of them saw Wu Wei's indifferent reaction. It can be seen at a glance that the two of them don't care about the newcomer at all.
Of course, even if Ye Wei, as the captain, can take care of everyone in the team, these questions will only flash through her mind. At present, her only and most concerned thing is to test the survival plan as soon as possible, so Zhao Ping's question As soon as they came out, Ye Wei, who was rushing to the lobby on the first floor with Cheng Ying, naturally didn't talk nonsense. In the following time, Ye Wei immediately explained the explanation she had told Cheng Ying before in a long and short story. Inform Zhao Ping.
………
"What!"
As expected, Cheng Ying's reaction was the same as the first time he was on the rooftop. After hearing Ye Wei's blind-spot logic and the survival plan that he didn't know if it could still be implemented, the man with glasses was immediately surprised. For Zhao Ping, although As early as Hell Train, he, like most veterans, believed that there must be an easy way out of this ordinary-level mission. Even so, he still didn't expect that the way out would be like this...
It's so simple!
Simple, really so simple, so simple that as long as the executor finds this way to survive, the entire mission will not be in danger! However, as Ye Wei said when she just narrated, this simple way of survival, which can be easily solved by just moving a sign, exists in the blind spots of human thinking, in the hidden corners that any normal person will ignore. , this is indeed a trap set to target the loopholes in human thinking. If Ye Wei's analysis is correct, wouldn't they, the executors, become a group of stupid pigs seeking their own death?
It was obvious that this building was the only one with worms in it, but everyone entered it due to inertial thinking!
Although Ye Wei has thought of this way of survival, the other party has also said that although this way of life is very real, it was ignored by everyone at the beginning of the mission due to blind spots in thinking. Now she is executing this way of life as if to make up for it. God knows if it still works? After all, they are now in the building, and the mission stipulates that those who leave the building will be killed. In this case, Ye Wei and Cheng Ying hurriedly returned to the first floor. This behavior is really an act of gambling. If they put their lives on it, they will succeed or fail. Each half is in the plan to survive.
The logic is very simple, that is, if the escape route is still valid, then the person who leaves the building to move the sign will not be killed. However, if the escape route is invalid because all the executors can enter the building, then whoever goes out to move the sign will not be killed. Who is dead?
However, if this remedial plan is not carried out because of fear of death... Ye Wei's theory that the restriction on locusts will be gradually lifted over time also threatens everyone. This matter will not be mentioned. After the female captain said this As soon as he said that, Zhao Ping couldn't help but feel a drum in his heart. Yes, he originally planned to turn off the power to waste time, and then wait until the end of the task in one breath, but the result...
That's right, Sombra once lifted the restriction once after the executor checked in. That was the killing restriction. Who knows if Sombra will have other abilities as the time gets closer to the end of the mission? For example...the ability to kill people in the dark!
This inference is by no means groundless, but there are traces to follow. After all, the worms in the past supernatural missions are almost like this. The longer the mission is delayed, the smaller the restrictions on the strength of the worms will be until they disappear completely. If that is really the case , if the black shadow worm really will gradually lift all restrictions as time goes by, and once even the darkness cannot block the black shadow worm from killing, doesn't it mean that this worm that can lock the position of any living person is enough to lock the position of any living person in just a short time? Kill everyone in an instant?
At that time, the executor who is restricted by the rules and has disabled props and has no means of countermeasures... is there any other ending besides being wiped out by the team?
The truth is like this, and the logic is even more so. So it can be explained that Ye Wei and Cheng Ying would rather risk their lives on the first floor with a half chance of success and half chance of failure. Yes, the restriction of up to 90% of the same thing may be gradually lifted. Compared with this inference, the failure rate of a plan to remedy the situation is low, with a failure rate of only 50%.
What if the plan succeeds? Once that way of survival is still feasible, the rewards will undoubtedly be huge, which means that the executors can survive the task safely. The only regret is that the success rate is only half.
At this moment, in this silent and dark corridor on the 7th floor, apart from Wu Wei, who was confused and confused, Ye Wei and Cheng Ying both had complicated expressions, and Zhao Ping, who had just listened to each other's explanation of the plan, stood there. There was no response for a long time. Maybe it was because the atmosphere was too depressing or maybe he thought of something in the silence. Zhao Ping's face turned green and white, and the man's gentle face occasionally twitched slightly. At the same time, he saw his glasses. The man didn't respond for a long time. Ye Wei, who knew Zhao Ping well, almost understood something in her heart. There was no nonsense or hesitation. After looking at each other with Cheng Ying, she immediately greeted: "Cheng Ying, let's continue going downstairs. .”
"etc!"
Who would have thought that as soon as Ye Wei finished speaking, Wu Wei, who had long regarded the female captain as a life-saving straw, tried to follow, nor did Cheng Ying take back the look of disdain she had just shown when she looked at the man with glasses. Zhao Ping, who looked troubled and didn't dare to go to the first floor, suddenly spoke and stopped the three people who were about to leave.
The three people who were stopped turned their attention to the man with glasses out of curiosity. Except for Wu Wei, who was still confused and confused, Ye Wei and Cheng Ying, who knew the man's fear of death, couldn't help but have doubts in their eyes. Yes, as above. As they said, the two of them knew that it was impossible for the man with glasses to follow them to the first floor for adventure, even if he was afraid of death. What's more, Zhao Ping's obviously cowering performance just now was also expected by the two of them. This is why when he left just now, The main reason why Ye Wei never asked the man with glasses to go downstairs with her was just...
Why did this guy who was obviously afraid of death stop them again when they were about to leave?
At this moment, he noticed the gaze of the other party. Somehow, Zhao Ping, who was still cowering in fear before, regained his original calmness. His eyes slowly swept across Ye Wei, Cheng Ying and Wu Wei, and then he maintained a calm expression. Zhao Ping stretched out his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said to several people in a calm tone:
"I'll go to the first floor with you..."
After a pause, and still not waiting for anyone to reply, the man with glasses continued to add in a calm tone:
"And after arriving on the first floor, I will do the work of changing the sign after exiting the building."
