Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 85 Rat Maze: From Teammates to Food

...Compared to the grid battle, the New Year arena at this time was a dark and gloomy place.

The temperature had not changed, it was still so hot; but because they had not eaten for a long time, everyone felt their limbs cool as if they had been soaked in ice water, and trembled slightly.

"Who is on fire?"

In the darkness, Lian Xiaolian's eyes radiated a faint light.After she sucked back the bag of saliva in her mouth with a "snort", she added: "It would be better if there was salt."

When Lao Wang heard this, he let go of the hand that was holding the brown-fur rabbit, and digged it in the two trouser pockets. After touching the back pocket again, he remembered regretfully: "The lighter got into the water, so I threw it away."

"Never mind, let's peel the skin first, I'll eat it if it really doesn't work!" Lian Xiaolian couldn't bear it any longer, and dragged the unmoving brown-haired rabbit in half, and pushed her boyfriend: "You have Knife? Skin it!"

Zhong Junkai hesitated and did not make a move.

"This is Miss Lin's rabbit..." He murmured, "I think it's better not to eat it."

Just before he finished speaking, there was a sudden roar in his stomach, interrupting the second half of the sentence.

He didn't dare to lower his head to look at the rabbit on the ground, he was afraid that after watching it, he would not be able to stop his mad appetite; the hunger after another was burning his stomach at this time - since it was so big, It was the first time he was so hungry.

"If we don't eat it, we will all starve to death." Lian Xiaolian glanced at him with a frown, "Do you have the heart to want me to starve to death? This is not your rabbit!"

Zhong Junkai gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"Hurry up and give me the knife!" Lian Xiaolian pushed him hard. Seeing that her boyfriend still didn't move, she couldn't help but scolded angrily: "Are you afraid of that woman? Are you useful?"

It was the first time for a docile and pleasant girlfriend in the past to speak in such a tone - Zhong Junkai's shocked eyes just fell on her, and even Xiaolian had already reached out to take out Zhong Junkai's pocket, and his arms were still shaking.It's not that her determination to eat rabbits is not enough, but the weakness brought about by not eating for a long time has lowered her blood sugar to a dangerous level, and her mind is dizzy.

From beginning to end, Pharaoh's eyes that were green with hunger never left the rabbit.His condition is no better than that of Lian Xiaolian, his cheeks have been deeply sunk in, and even his big belly seems to have disappeared a lot.

Lian Xiaolian took out a switch knife and grinned weakly; she flattened the rabbit's belly to the ground, and the knife in her hand rested on its throat, sinking into the fluff.

Her fingers were trembling and she was about to press down, when a long whip-like metal light suddenly swung from behind several people, even Xiaolian couldn't dodge, she was hit straight, her body staggered, and the knife immediately went far away. flew out; only then did blood slowly ooze from a wound on her side face.

Lian Xiaolian covered the wound on her face and roared behind her like a she-wolf, "My face!"

Pharaoh seemed to have known for a long time that there would be pursuers. Taking advantage of this gap, he picked up the rabbit on the ground and stuffed it into his pocket. He turned around and was about to run. lie.When he looked back, it turned out that Lian Xiaolian had grabbed the leg of his trousers and asked with a grim expression, "Where do you want to take my food?"

At this moment, Lin Sanjiu walked out step by step from the corner of the narrow aisle, holding the Fallen Seed's mouthpart in his hand.

Although she shot Lian Xiaolian's knife in one fell swoop, her own condition was worse than anyone else's - she felt that she had used a lot of strength for the attack just now, but Lian Xiaolian only scratched her face.Lin Sanjiu gasped for a few breaths, trying hard to control the shaking of his legs and the burning hunger in his stomach.

So hungry, so hungry, whatever it is, let her eat something—

Lin Sanjiu leaned against the wall and said hoarsely, "Put the rabbit down, or don't blame me for killing."

...It started 10 minutes ago—no, 10 days ago.

After the second round of the game, the grids and light walls in the arena slowly melted away like ice cream, returning to the original half red and half white appearance - the only difference is that this time there is an extra one on one side. On the other side of the corpse, there was a near-dead man who was similar to a corpse and could not move.

The members of the red and white teams looked bad and waited silently for Mr. Dian's introduction to the next game.

Only this time, Mr. Dian didn't speak for a long time - just when everyone was confused and there was some commotion, the ground suddenly opened smoothly, and walls rose from underfoot.

The walls were like saplings growing from small trees, and they were gradually raised and raised again in the eyes of everyone in amazement, until they turned into towering high walls that could not be seen, blocking most of the light from the sky.Looking along the thick black wall, as far as the eye can see, there are only one narrow passage after another, as if there is no end.

The wall blocked everyone's sight, and when Lin Sanjiu heard Mr. Dian's voice again, he was surprised that there was no one around him.

The wall created among the RED members seemed to separate her from the rest.

"Well, this is the third round of the game - the mouse maze." Mr. Dot laughed and said, "This is a rather large maze, the red team is on one side of the entrance, the white team is on the other side of the entrance. This The task of the game is very simple, as long as you reach a certain cubicle in the maze, you will complete the task, and you can get a +1 point reward."

The third round of the game - mouse maze
Game rules: none
How to play: The red and white teams start from their respective entrances. After the members find a cubicle somewhere in the maze, no matter the order, the team can get a +1 point reward.

"However—in this cubicle, there is a white cloth-covered dinner table with food for four. Only whoever arrives first can eat—haha, of course, if whoever arrives first If you don’t eat it on purpose, then people in the future can eat it too.” Mr. Dian made himself laugh, “But will there really be people who don’t eat the food?”

Just kidding, in a place like this, who's going to eat your stuff?

Lin Sanjiu had just scolded his stomach when he suddenly heard a "gurgling" sound coming from his stomach.

Eh?
"By the way, there's one thing I haven't told you yet." Mr. Dian's next tone made her feel a little bad: "In this competition, there is actually time to be isolated from the outside world. Everyone should have heard of it. After the saying 'one day in the sky, one year in the world', or the story of Urashima Taro and the underwater dragon palace?"

"One minute spent in the confrontation match is a whole day outside. Since everyone entered the game, it has now passed...well, 1 minutes. In other words, 43 days have passed outside."

"In the third round of the game, I will cancel this time isolation. What you are about to spend is still the time in the game, but your body will feel the same changes as the outside world..."

Mr. Dian seemed to explain a few more words, but Lin Sanjiu didn't hear it clearly—because she was suddenly dizzy, her hands and feet were limp and she lost her strength, and she involuntarily slid along the wall to the ground.When her face touched the warm water on the ground, she was shocked and woke up again.

At this time, Mr. Dian's voice came back to her ears again, and it became a meaningful sentence: "...Suddenly feel the feeling of being hungry for 43 days, isn't it uncomfortable? I hope everyone will work hard! From now on, every minute that passes is a day for your body—of course, it is a day without meals. But everyone has strengthened their physical fitness, and they won’t be hungry if they don’t eat for a month or two Die. It’s not okay to just continue to suffer like this—everyone must survive to find the cubicle in the maze, where food for four is ready!”

In other words, only the four people who find the dinner table first will survive?
"There is another point, please note that killing is not prohibited in this game, so please unite with your teammates and be careful of your opponents." After saying this, Mr. Dian announced briskly: "Okay, then the game officially begins!"

... After listening to Mr. Dian's nonsense announcement, Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to lie down on the ground for a second, and hurriedly stood up.

She had been in a coma for a week before entering this instance.

At that time, Hu Changzai could only feed her some liquid food made of biscuits soaked in water; speaking of the physical condition at this time, even with the overall increase in physical fitness, Lin Sanjiu was no better than anyone else.

Looking around, there are only identical passages in the labyrinth, surrounded by towering black walls on both sides, extending in twists and turns and endlessly extending in different directions.

Lin Sanjiu wanted to turn around and join the red team first, but there were no other people in the maze behind her; every minute that passed, she could feel a part of her physical strength being swallowed up.

She sighed, and had no choice but to give up her plan to meet the rabbit, find a random direction by herself, and walked forward.

It's so deadly-

The two roads that Lin Sanjiu walked at the beginning turned into dead ends after a few minutes of walking—two consecutive times, the road ahead became a wall, blocking the way icyly.Such a labyrinth is already very physically exhausting, not to mention that he hasn't eaten for dozens of days... As Lin Sanjiu walked in a daze, he unconsciously fantasized about the food in the cubicle.

It was at this time that she suddenly heard a faint shouting - this voice was familiar to her, and the tone was swearing, it was the brown-haired rabbit - "I X! Why are you attacking Lao Tzu!"

Due to the high walls, Lin Sanjiu couldn't hear it clearly, only vaguely heard someone say the word "eat".

She shuddered suddenly, turned around and rushed in the direction of the sound; not knowing where she gathered her strength, she shouted with all her strength: "I will kill anyone who dares to move it. !"

There was no sound in that direction.

After the old woman lost the duel in the last round of the game, the advanced ability she handed over happened to be Chen Fan's "No Coincidence, No Book" - Lin Sanjiu obtained the "No Coincidental No Book" ability from a wooden box, only to find out that it was because of her. 's name is too special to create some tiny coincidences.

However, this tiny coincidence came in handy at this time: Lin Sanjiu held a pen in his right hand, picked a path and rushed in; unexpectedly, this path led unimpeded all the way. As she approached the RED team—

Looking at the backs of the three of them running desperately forward, Lin Sanjiu cut off his thoughts and chased after them.

　I feel like this chapter was a lot more fun to write!At least I don't have the "Oops I'm tired of writing" feeling like in the previous chapters... What do you think?

For everyone's update, I'm working hard to write... Because I'm still writing a main site text at the same time, so the speed is a bit... uh...

By the way, if my main site text is open, will you read it?

Then there will be no male protagonist or anything~
