Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

Chapter 552: Unexpected Answer

Next, the five people spent more than forty minutes returning to Room 3, and then used this as the coordinate to move towards the direction directly below the number 100 on the ceiling.

After an hour of searching, they finally found the third numbered room.

But unexpectedly, the number marked on the house number was not 4 as expected, but 6.

"It seems that Sikong Mingshen still lied. They should have actually found room 6, but they deliberately said it was room 4." Li Ming shook his head and chuckled, then pushed open the gray-white, metallic door in front of him.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the members of the "Tianyu" team wandered aimlessly in the maze, first found Room 4 by accident, and then found Room 3, which was far away, by chance.

But he believes the possibility of this is almost zero.

The room was empty, with neither members from other teams nor any belongings.

Only a striking red character engraved on a white porcelain area in the center of the floor attracted everyone's attention.

"Does this character represent 'nine'?" Yunshan asked with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

Cecily nodded affirmatively. “If you only look at this character, it does represent the number nine.”

Dongmen Qiansha frowned and thought, "We have obtained the three characters of '动', '迷' and '九', but they don't seem to be able to form a meaningful word when combined together."

"This shows that the characters we currently know are still too few to parse out the complete meaning." Xingmei said calmly.

"That's right." Li Ming nodded in agreement. He quickly glanced around the room and continued, "Now that we have three rooms as reference points, the locations of the remaining rooms are basically clear. Let's go."

An hour later, they successfully found the fourth room, Room 9, according to the vertical coordinates they had previously inferred.

In this room, there is also a red character engraved on the white porcelain floor, which means 'mouth'.

After a brief discussion, the few of them still couldn't infer any useful information from it, so they could only continue looking for rooms with other numbers.

But this time, Li Ming adjusted his search strategy, changing from the original vertical coordinate exploration to horizontal coordinate search.

It didn't take long for them to find Room 8.

However, when the five people pushed open the door and walked in, they were surprised to find that two teams had already entered the room before them.

There were a total of fifteen people in front, divided into two distinct groups, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding the red characters in the center of the white porcelain floor, and talking in low voices.

When they saw Li Ming and his group enter the room, there was almost no change in expression on their faces. They just glanced at them quickly and then looked away, no longer paying attention.

In the first level of the moving maze game, the rules explicitly prohibit the use of force.

Therefore, when encountering other teams, everyone does not need to be overly defensive, and there is less suspicion and hostility between each other.

In Room 8, the red characters on the white porcelain floor clearly convey the meaning of 'out'.

Li Ming recited the characters in the order of the room numbers in his mind, "Move, mystery, nine, exit, mouth?"

He seemed to have some idea in his mind, but he was not sure yet.

After a while, the two teams that came in first left the room one after another. From beginning to end, there was no communication between everyone.

Li Ming and his companions did not stay in room No. 8 for too long. After coming out, they continued to look for the next room with the next number.

This time, they adjusted their search strategy again, switching from the previous horizontal coordinate exploration to the vertical coordinate search.

About an hour later, they stopped in a deep passage and waited quietly.

A few minutes later, the white porcelain wall in front of him moved quietly to the sides, and a gray-white metal door suddenly appeared. The number 5 marked on the door was particularly eye-catching.

Li Ming stepped forward and gently pushed open the sixth door.

The room was empty and extremely quiet.

On the white porcelain floor in the center, a red character is extremely eye-catching. If interpreted alone, this character seems to mean "have".

"Move, confusion, have, nine, out, mouth?" Dongmen Qiansha repeated it quietly in her mind, still a little confused and unable to understand the meaning.

Yunshan frowned and said thoughtfully: "These characters must be hinting at the location of the exit, but the order of the characters does not necessarily have to be arranged according to the room numbers."

"Perhaps, we can try to shuffle the combination of these characters to see if we can find new clues."

Hearing this, Cecily and Xingmei's eyes suddenly lit up, and they also joined the discussion with great interest.

So, several people began to try various character combinations in the hope of solving the puzzle.

"I think 'export' should be put first," Yunshan was the first to express her opinion. "The key is how to arrange it after 'export'. Is there anything 'export'?"

"Hmm." Cecily nodded slowly, stroking her chin in thought, "What's the 'exit'? 'Nine, moving, confusing'?"

Xingmei shook her head and said thoughtfully: "The characters behind can't be connected smoothly, and I can't even guess the general meaning."

Dongmen Qiansha also sighed and scratched her head, "I feel the same way. I feel like the characters are still not enough. No matter how I arrange them, I can't form a complete sentence."

……

The four of them got together to discuss for a while, but the result was somewhat regrettable as they still couldn't find any clues.

At this moment, Cecily suddenly seemed to remember something. She turned around and looked at Li Ming who was standing silently beside her. She asked with some surprise: "Little man, why haven't you said anything? Don't you plan to express your opinion?"

Li Ming smiled faintly, "I have probably guessed the location of the maze exit, but seeing you guys were so engrossed in the discussion, I didn't have the heart to interrupt you."

"What? You've found it!?" Yunshan turned to him in astonishment, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Where is it!" Dongmen Qiansha asked impatiently.

Xingmei and Cecily also showed surprise on their faces. The characters for the remaining rooms had not been found yet, but Li Ming had already solved the mystery?

Facing the four people's expectant eyes, Li Ming did not reveal the answer directly, but kept it a secret, "I am not 4% sure now. Let's go to room , and then everything will be revealed."

Hearing this, Cecily and the others looked at each other, with a look of helplessness on their faces.

Room 4 was on the same line as rooms 5 and 6, so they found the place without spending too much time.

However, before pushing open the door, Li Ming predicted with a hint of mystery: "If my speculation is correct, the characters hidden in this room should represent the meaning of 'palace'."
