Chapter 225 Death Game 1 (Revised)

pat, pat.

Lin Xian's footsteps echoed in the dark corridor. He walked for a while, looking at the extension of the light. It seemed that he would never reach the end. Moreover, the situation was different from what he expected. As he continued to walk forward, water stains began to appear on the ground. The water became more and more, and the marble floor began to turn into white tiles.

There were sounds of water, and Lin Xian looked at the white tiles under his feet, silently feeling as if he had stepped into a swimming pool. As he continued to move forward, the accumulated water gradually increased from a few centimeters to above his feet. At this time, the wall of the passage in front of him finally disappeared, and he seemed to have reached the end of the passage.

Lin Xian frowned, reached out to take down the lighting and walked forward, only to find a large area of ​​darkness in front of him, with layers of water rippling away. In front of him turned out to be a huge enclosed swimming pool with an open space of more than a thousand square meters. The surrounding walls were covered with clean white tiles.

The underwater ground suddenly disappeared a few meters in front of Lin Xian, and a handrail of a swimming pool appeared. The water behind the handrail, which was clean and transparent, now appeared a strange black color, and it was bottomless!
Under the light, there was a yellow swimming ring swaying gently with the waves above the black water. Lin Xian looked around and found that except for where he was, there was no place to go ashore in this deep pool. It was surrounded by high walls covered with white tiles.

The cold water waves jumped around Lin Xian's ankles, as if carrying a strange force, dragging him into the deep pool ahead.

"What the hell is this place..."

He had just explored this passage and found that there was no complicated mechanical structure. But after walking for a long time, he saw nothing and found a huge swimming pool at the end of the corridor.

And it looks like an endless deep pool leading straight to hell.

……

In the monitoring hall of the research institute, the monitoring personnel all had complicated expressions. The people in the front turned around and looked at the security director Feng Chun, who had a serious look on his face and seemed a little dizzy.

"Manager Feng, the target has entered the Black Pool."

"Directly release the Black Abyss No. 1 creature, start injecting water, and flood the passage!" Feng Chun said with a stern expression.

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, the researchers were all stunned.

"This...will it happen?"

"Follow orders. Today, we must obtain valuable information from the target!"

"Understood." The researcher looked solemn and began to carry out this cruel order.

Click, Lin Xian directly made an extended bracket at the edge of the passage to extend the light to illuminate a wider area. At the same time, he walked to the edge of the silver handrail and tried to look underwater.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow flashed under the water. Its body curled up like a snake, pitch black, and caused a dark current under the water, which swayed on Lin Xian's feet under the water, as if it wanted to pull him down...

"Fuck!"

Seeing this horrifying scene, Lin Xian subconsciously took two steps back. The sound of splashing water caused by his hurried footsteps echoed in the quiet space, giving a strange and weird feeling.

"Is there something down there?"

Lin Xian had a grim expression on his face and looked around. As time passed, he didn't know how to leave here, so he looked up. At this time, he saw a building similar to a diving platform dozens of meters above the deep pool, with a small secret door at the back.

At the same time, as the waves jumped under the light, Lin Xian saw a narrow road hidden under the water in front of him.

Rather than a road, it is more like a row of slender pillars standing under the water. The pillars are also covered with white tiles. Only one foot can be stood on each pillar. There is a gap of about one meter between the pillars, extending to the edge of the high wall of the black pool in the distance, where there are narrow stairs protruding from the wall.

It seemed that he needed to step on these underwater pillars all the way to the surface of the bottomless black pool, walk to the wall at the end, and then climb up in a winding manner.

Without the light, he would basically be groping in a deep pool of darkness, jumping over pillars in an unknown direction.

And under my feet, the pillar extended to the dark pool, the bottom was impossible to see, and there seemed to be some living creature swimming underneath.

"Who can come up with these things?"

Lin Xian's heart sank. To be honest, he was a little scared at this moment.

A huge invincible deep pool in a claustrophobic space, dark, quiet, rippling black water, unknown underwater creatures

It can definitely make people's sanity value drop wildly.

At this moment, Lin Xian suddenly discovered that the black water that was originally at his ankles had now risen to his calves. It was icy cold, and there were waves of water in the passage!

"The water is rising?"

……

On the other side, on the researcher's screen, the surveillance was aimed at almost every corner, the water surface, the narrow ladder, the pillars and the diving platform above.

"The speed of the black water rising has been increased to level 3. According to the time calculation, the goal is only 3 minutes to reach the wall safely. At that time, we can activate the level 5 water rising speed."

"Vital signs data, the experimental target's current heart rate has increased to 105 and is about to break 110." The researcher responsible for monitoring vital signs reported.

"He must be scared this time." Feng Chun breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the entrance of the channel under the surveillance screen with interest. "After 3 minutes, he could hardly stand on the water and had to swim over."

The passage stretched out like a large water pipe, and its end was right in the center of the huge circular pool.

Feng Chun stared at the direction of the water pipe in the passage, but after a while, he did not see any sign of Lin Xian coming out of the passage.

He frowned immediately

"What's going on? Why hasn't he started to act yet? The water is already flooding up."

"Not sure. There is no surveillance camera inside the pipeline."

"Hmm? Did he retreat?"

"No, the vital signs monitoring equipment can still detect the target's movements, and the target is still in the scene."

Feng Chun's face became anxious again when he heard this. He looked at his watch and said, "There are only two minutes left. If we don't set off now, we will definitely not be able to find the way."

At this time, a researcher was puzzled: "He...he is not going to just wait for the water to flood up and then float up, right?"

"Impossible." Feng Chun said decisively: "He won't survive more than a minute in the black water. Heiyuan No. 1 will swallow him up. He can't escape."

"The passage will be flooded in one minute!" a researcher shouted.

Feng Chun's face began to become serious again. He stared at the end of the passage. A large amount of black water had already poured into it, but still no human figure appeared.

"Report, target body temperature begins to drop, heart rate returns to 80."

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?" Feng Chun frowned and muttered in a low voice.

At this moment, a researcher suddenly shouted: "He...he came out!!"

"Where?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people, including Feng Chun, looked towards the entrance of the passage, but no one was seen.

"No one?"

"There!" The researcher pointed at the monitor screen as if he had seen a ghost. "He's... in the passage."

Upon hearing this, Feng Chun quickly looked at another screen. In an instant, his pupils shrank and he saw a weird scene that he could never imagine in his life.

I saw that at the top of the rear of the passage, a round hole appeared at some point, and a lift platform rose in the hole. Lin Xian stood on the lift platform, and slowly came to the edge of the platform above, as if he was taking an elevator.

From another surveillance angle, a young man with a calm expression slowly rose in front of the diving platform, then took a step forward, quickly walked into the passage behind it, and left the black pool.

"No?!" Feng Chun looked at this scene, a little confused: "Elevator?"

The expected scene of the target jumping off a deep pillar in the water and frantically escaping from the attack of the underwater monster on a narrow ladder against the wall did not happen.

At this time, the elevator that rose out of the passage directly blocked the group of researchers.

Even if Lin Xian was flying, it would still be acceptable to those researchers who were studying superpowers.

But where did this elevator come from?

"Supervisor, the target's mechanical abilities seem to be different from what we understand." A researcher said with a dull look.

Feng Chun was stunned, and it took him a while to react. He said with a heavy heart:
"Miss Hua once said that the target had demonstrated the ability to manufacture some metal devices...but this..."

Metal devices and building an elevator and a Gatling gun with bare hands are two completely different concepts.

"Manager Feng, the target is about to enter the survival room. Please confirm which mode to use?"

Feng Chun came back to his senses after hearing this, his eyes flickered, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Since the other party has the ability to control and manufacture machines, then open survival room No. 3. Even if the other party cracks it, we can still obtain useful information."

"Yes!" The researcher directly entered the command at this time.

As for Lin Xian, he walked along the passage and soon found a rather bright room in front of him.

Hu~hu~
The flashlight was swinging in the dark passage. Lin Xian ran forward quickly while breathing rapidly. After a while, the passage became wider and wider, and bright light began to come out in front. Lin Xian's eyes focused and he quickly quickened his speed and rushed out.

Buzz! When Lin Xian rushed into the vast bright space, a huge tinnitus hit him, his chest ached, and he breathed heavily.

He didn't have time to feel the discomfort in his body. He quickly looked around where he was. He saw that it was a huge, bright white room. It was empty and there was nothing in it, but the floor and walls were emitting white light.

In the distance, there was a door that looked extremely ordinary. Lin Xian subconsciously walked forward and discovered that the door had no door handle and no keyhole. It was just a door-shaped device.

Bang! Bang!
At this time, things like buildings began to rise from under the floor on both sides. Lin Xian held up his knife and was on guard. He found that what rose up were some huge cabins filled with green transparent liquid, one on each side. As the liquid cabins gradually rose, two strange monsters appeared in sight.

A dark green monster that looked like a starfish. It looked to be only about one meter in diameter, but its body was covered with long black spikes as thin as steel needles, filling the entire cabin. The center of the starfish was covered with black eyes, which looked very strange.

The other one looked a bit like the white giant that Lin encountered in Jiang City, but it was much smaller, with slender limbs. It sank to the bottom of the liquid tank, hugging its legs with its head buried under its knees. For some reason, this thing gave people a very dangerous feeling just by sitting there hugging its legs.

Lin Xian frowned as he watched this scene. He didn't need to guess to realize that these two things were definitely not for him to watch.

So without any hesitation, he walked straight towards the 'door'.

The moment Lin Xian touched the door, a red alarm began to sound throughout the room. Woo~woo~woo~

【Countdown begins, 5 minutes remaining. 】

Lin Xian looked back and saw that at this moment, in the two huge liquid chambers, the green transparent liquid began to slowly drop, as if it was some kind of countdown. He immediately reacted, and his mechanical heart started to operate, scanning directly behind the door.

As the scan progressed, Lin Xian's frown deepened.

This is indeed a door, but it is a mechanical door with a very complex structure. There are 12 mechanical locks on it. Each mechanical structure is linked together, connecting to the 12 switches behind the door. Lin Xian was confused after scanning it, because this mechanical structure was not designed for easy operation, but was designed to confuse people.

At this time, Lin Xian finally confirmed his guess that these things were arranged to test his mechanical abilities.

And those two monsters were there to "help cheer him up".

"Let me unlock it..."

Lin Xian's heart sank, and his mechanical heart began to work.

Woo~woo~
The alarm sounded continuously, and the green liquid in the two liquid test chambers began to decrease continuously. As the liquid was reduced by half, the black needles of the starfish in the first chamber began to move slowly, and the tips of the needles scraped against the edge of the chamber, making a creaking sound.

[Countdown 3 minutes remaining]

In the bright room, several researchers were staring at the surveillance screen. At this moment, all of their eyes were on Lin Xian.

"Report on the progress of the test."

"Escape door opening progress 0%"

"What's going on? None of the locks are unlocked?"

"hold on."

[Countdown 1 minutes remaining]

"Report, the escape door opening progress is 0%"

"Hmm? What's going on? Has he given up?"

"Quick, inform Miss Hua."

Hua Xiaoling was wearing a black coat and standing in front of a silver door. Behind the door was the room where Lin Xian was.

At this time, a report from subordinates came through the headphones.

"Manager Hua, there is one minute left and the escape door opening progress is 1. Do you want to initiate the emergency procedure?"

Hua Xiaoling's eyes did not flicker, and she did not speak, but just looked quietly at the door in front of her.

[Countdown 10 seconds remaining]

"The opening progress of the escape door is 0%. It is impossible to open it now." Security director Feng Chun's face changed drastically at this time.

Squeak!!!

In the glass cabin, the green liquid had already run out. The giant starfish was still twisting its spikes and making strange noises, while the white humanoid monster also slowly raised its head.

Hua Xiaoling began to show some doubts in her eyes, and at this time, the countdown at the test site began.

At the last second, the silver door in front of Hua Xiaoling suddenly turned into ashes, and the sky full of ashes flew past her. Hua Xiaoling couldn't help but stretch out her hand and catch one of the ashes with her palm. It fell on her hand and turned into smaller ashes in an instant and disappeared into the air.

Looking at this scene, her eyes were full of surprise. She raised her head and a slightly thin figure appeared in front of her.

"We meet again."

A sharp blade fell on Hua Xiaoling's neck, and the sharp blade of the electric knife cut off a few strands of hair and slowly fell to the ground.

Click, click, click.

In an instant, dozens of armed men behind her raised their guns and pointed them at Lin Xian.

The light from the automatic machine gun in the room also fell on Lin Xian's forehead.

Lin Xian's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Hua Xiaoling coldly.

"If I can't see my teammates within 1 minute, you will die."

Hua Xiaoling looked at Lin Xian at this time. Not only was there no fear on her face, but there was even a hint of desire and eagerness in the depths of her eyes. She slowly raised her hand, and everyone behind her put down their weapons. Then she signaled to the assistant next to her, and the assistant pressed a command on the mobile terminal at this time, and another door not far behind Lin Xian opened.

boom!
An invisible shock wave came, and a group of researchers flew out immediately.

KIKI came out at this time, and when she saw Lin Xian, the tense expression on her face finally relaxed.

"Lin Xian!"

Hua Xiaoling looked at the researchers who were wailing nearby, her expression remaining calm.

"Since I have invited you, your teammates are naturally our guests as well."

"guest?"

Lin Xian sneered: "Is this how you treat your guests?"

Hua Xiaoling shrugged helplessly: "First of all, although you broke into the Qingshui Town test site illegally, I also admit that we did not conduct a supernatural power test on you without your consent. I apologize to you for this. It's just... normally, our partners will not enter the institute from that place."

She said with a frown, "Of course, I won't install a tracker on my car."

Lin Xian's face changed when he heard this. He slowly put down the electric knife in his hand and said, "You are right, but you invited me but didn't tell me the specific place, so, I can only use my own method."

Hua Xiaoling smiled faintly, not seeming to mind, but asked: "Mr. Lin, may I know how you opened the last password door?"

Password door? I opened the password, Lin Xian snorted in his heart, wouldn't it be easier to just use the machine to devour it? Do you really think I'm stupid enough to study the password in just five minutes?

Although the mechanical structure of the door is not large, it is no more complicated than the engine. For Lin Xian, this kind of thing is like swallowing a train cart. It is not difficult to purchase materials.

He was not interested in answering Hua Xiaoling's question and said directly: "Okay, I broke into your research institute and you also conducted a lot of tests on me. Now you can tell me your purpose."

"I said, our goal is to cooperate with you," said Hua Xiaoling.

"What if I refuse?" Lin Xian asked directly.

Hua Xiaoling narrowed her eyes and smiled, pointing to the direction of a passage: "The premise of cooperation is of course that both parties are willing. If Mr. Lin does not want to cooperate with us, you can leave at any time. We will not restrict your personal freedom."

After that, Hua Xiaoling made a gesture of invitation to Lin Xian: "Or if you have time, I can also introduce our foundation to you first?"

Lin Xian and KIKI made eye contact. Since they were already here, they decided to find out more.

So the two of them followed Hua Xiaoling into the research institute.

Hua Xiaoling took Lin Xian and KIKI into the elevator and headed underground.

Lin Xian completely underestimated the scale of this research institute. Apart from the large test site, the research institute was basically buried deep underground.

"Lin Xian." KIKI walked beside him and asked Lin Xian in a low voice: "Did they bully you just now?"

Lin Xian shook his head. He was somewhat surprised at some of the research being conducted in this testing ground, which even involved the presence of strange entities.

"Such a large testing ground, why can't we see it from the outside?" Lin Xian asked Hua Xiaoling who was leading the way.

Hua Xiaoling said, "That's because our test site is built inside a kind of sky dome, with the outer surface covered with reflectors. We use optical projection to project the scene on the other side onto the reflectors. To the outside world, everything here is invisible."

KIKI opened her mouth in surprise when she heard this: "Oh my God, your test site is invisible?"

Lin Xian said to Hua Xiaoling with some curiosity: "Your research institute doesn't look like it was built recently, right? Was it built before the Apocalypse Day?"

This research institute includes ground and underground projects, and also directly built a small town and a sky dome. It is simply horrifying that such a huge amount of work was built within a few months. Like the No. 9 underground city, there are a lot of construction traces around it, but there are no traces of them here at all.

Hua Xiaoling said directly: "This was originally a large-scale war and biochemical test base built by the Foundation in collaboration with many countries. Because it has a government background, the early construction was highly confidential and never known to the outside world."

"Before the polar night comes, the defense level of this institute is still safe. If you are willing, you can rest here for a while. We can provide any help you need."

"I suggest you make adequate preparations, because you will be crossing the edge of the Star Abyss next, and there will be many unknown disasters that you cannot predict."

"Why does it sound like you know a lot about the night?" Lin Xian frowned: "What exactly does your foundation do?"

KIKI also spoke up: "Yeah, what is the purpose of you doing these experiments and making these monsters?"

Hua Xiaoling suddenly stopped, turned around and spoke meaningfully to Lin Xian and KIKI.

"To save humanity."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian and KIKI fell silent.

"I want to ask you two, do you think the coming of darkness will bring destruction or opportunity to mankind?"

"Opportunity?" Lin Xian frowned. "Everyone in this world is almost dead. Where are the opportunities?"

Hua Xiaoling said as they walked, "Since Mr. Lin has mechanical abilities, he must be very familiar with machinery. There is a common sense in the field of machinery, that is, for machines with the same efficiency, the simpler the mechanical structure, the better its stability and failure rate. This law is also true in sociology and even in civilization. If the internal management structure of an organization or a civilization becomes more and more complex and the communication cost becomes higher and higher, then the organizational efficiency will also decrease. Under the same civilization level, the civilization with the simpler organizational structure and higher efficiency will definitely be the most outstanding civilization at present, and will definitely eliminate the civilization with complex structure."

"So the scientific community generally believes that higher-dimensional civilizations must have higher production efficiency, which is a dimensionality reduction attack compared to our human civilization."

KIKI was confused: "What on earth do you want to say?"

Hua Xiaoling brought the two of them to a room at the end of the corridor. After pressing the password, the door opened. After walking in, they found that there was a row of seats in the room and a one-way floor-to-ceiling window in front. At this time, the window was dark and they could not see the situation outside clearly.

"Our research institute happens to have a test on this subject. If you are interested, you can learn about it. Perhaps you will understand what I mean."

"Another test?" Lin Xian looked at Hua Xiaoling: "What do you want to do this time?"

Hua Xiaoling smiled faintly: "Don't worry, this test has nothing to do with you two, you are just spectators."

Hua Xiaoling motioned for the two to sit down, then seemed to remember something and said to Lin Xian.

"By the way, this test has another purpose. If Mr. Lin is interested, I will tell you in detail later." After saying that, she turned around and clapped her hands.

Click~
The lights in the room went out, and the black floor-to-ceiling window in front flickered and began to become transparent.

At this time, Lin Xian and KIKI saw that outside the window was actually a large empty room, and eight compartments appeared near Lin Xian and KIKI.
The lights in the eight cubicles were lit up in an orderly manner, like a secret interrogation room in a police station. Each cubicle had black glass on both sides, a wall behind it, and a piece of transparent floor-to-ceiling glass in front.

The layout inside the compartments was the same: metal stools, metal tables, and eight people in different clothes with silver shackles on their hands, lying unconscious in their respective positions, some lying prone, some lying on their backs.

Outside the glass wall was a huge black space. The faint light in the room could not reach its depths, and it looked terrifyingly deep.

As the lights in each cubicle came on, the photosensitivity reaction began to cause some people's eyelids to tremble slightly, they felt something strange, and slowly woke up.

Lin Xian and KIKI looked at this scene and their faces suddenly changed.

"This...what is this for?" KIKI asked in surprise.

"An interesting scientific experiment." Hua Xiaoling said calmly.

Lin Xian's brows furrowed, his eyes swept across Hua Xiaoling beside him, and then fell back into the room in front of him.

The room closest to him, Room 7, was occupied by a young man with messy hair. He seemed to wake up first and looked at the surroundings in confusion.

From his horrified eyes, it can be seen that the current situation was completely beyond his expectations.

"What the hell."

The young man cursed in a low voice.

Immediately, the young man looked at the shackles in his hands, his expression changed drastically, and he began to struggle in fear.

But the next moment, a sound of electric current was heard, beep!

The shackles suddenly became like living things and bit his wrist fiercely. At the same time, a huge electric current rushed over!

"what!!"

Tingling, numbness, a life worse than death!

The young man gritted his teeth and almost fainted on the spot. As if it was some kind of punishment, after a burst of intense pain, the electric current suddenly disappeared.

After gasping for a while, the young man seemed to realize that he had been imprisoned.

At this time, the people in the other rooms also woke up.
With a slight sound, the glass partitioning the room instantly became transparent. Everyone was startled. They looked at their companions around them in confusion and fear. The shackles on their hands made one of the women scream.

"what!!!"

"Let me go!" a man shouted
"Qiao Min! Qiao Min!"

Just when everyone else didn't know why they were in this place, a man in his thirties seemed to see someone familiar.

He craned his neck and shouted towards the third room on his right.

"Ah?! Husband!"

A beautiful young woman heard the voice and responded quickly.

These two people are husband and wife.

"Damn, what is this place!" In Room 2, a middle-aged man who looked respectable in clothes yelled hysterically.

The strange scene made everyone feel a little confused.

空~
A large light suddenly came on, and the strange sound instantly silenced everyone in the room.

Looking forward, I saw that outside the glass wall in front was a huge room with no floor and a bottomless abyss below.

At this moment, there was a flickering light in the empty room, and a huge red head slowly descended. The red head was wearing a strange black hat, like some kind of holographic projection.

At the same time, a deep, monster-like voice sounded again.
"Hello."

"I am honored to inform you that you are the special guest experimenters of Institution No. 2 tonight. I believe you have all noticed your current situation. It is a pleasure to meet you all. Let me introduce myself. I am the Hatter, the host of this game."

The scene in front of me was really weird. A huge red head made people shudder at the sight of it.

The middle-aged man in Room 2 was obviously a hot-tempered guy. He reacted and immediately slammed the table angrily.

"No! I don't want to participate! Let me out now, I give up! I give up!"

Zizizi!
A high-energy electric current sound suddenly sounded, followed by a scream.

"what!!!!"

A huge electric current came from the middle-aged man's shackles, and his muscles were tensed and he howled in pain.

Boom! At this moment, in Room 6 next to the young man, a bald fat man suddenly shouted, and the skin on his hands began to turn into gray granite, and then he pulled violently, trying to break the shackles.

Lin Xian and KIKI in the room looked at each other in a dignified manner. This person is actually a person with superpowers!
Just when everyone thought that he would be able to easily break free from the tiny shackles, the fat man encountered the same situation as the middle-aged man.

The shackles were like thin snakes, tightening violently and breaking the granite skin into pieces!

puff!

In an instant, blood gushed out, skin exploded, and a scream rang out!

"what!!!"

At this time, the huge red head was watching this scene quietly in front with a strange smile on its face.

Everyone was shocked by this scene. Everyone looked at the shackles on their hands, and a feeling of uneasiness began to spread in everyone's hearts.

"Don't struggle, this thing has a mechanism!" In Room 4 lies a thin young man wearing ragged outdoor mountaineering gear. Judging from his chapped lips, he is severely dehydrated.

Seemingly satisfied with the quiet scene at this moment, the red head began to continue speaking.

"If you are ready, the game can begin."

As soon as the words fell, everyone became panicked.

"Game... Wh, what game?"

"What on earth do you want us to do?!"

"What is this place, some kind of laboratory?"

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

Lin Xian noticed that the young man in room 7 in front of him didn't say a word, but kept observing the surrounding environment and people. He seemed much calmer than the others. At the same time, he also began to observe the people in the eight rooms.

The man in Room 1 who tried to get up and greet the woman in Room 3 was wearing square-framed glasses, looked to be in his thirties, and had a somewhat elegant look.

The middle-aged man in Room 2 was very strange. In this doomsday, he looked dignified and had a rosy face. He didn't look like he was fleeing at all.

The woman in Room 3 should be a couple with the man with glasses in Room 1. The woman looked terrified and kept looking around and trembling.

The thin young man in Room 4 looked young and in a shabby state, and it was obvious that he was also struggling to survive in the apocalypse.

The person in Room 5 was a blonde woman with a relatively calm expression and an extraordinary temperament.

Room 6 is home to the mutant whose skin can transform into rock, a bald fat man who looks to be in his forties, with a look of extreme pain and misery on his face.

The young man in front of Lin Xian was in Room 7. To his right was a girl in Room 8 who looked young, had messy hair and was dirty.

The girl had kept her head down, and only when she heard the voices of people around her did she slowly raise her head.

When Lin Xian took a look, he found that the girl's facial features were extremely delicate. Although she was covered in dust, her beautiful temperament could not be concealed.

At this time, Lin Xian looked at Hua Xiaoling and seemed to understand that in this doomsday situation, this research institute had brought in a group of people to do some kind of experimental game.

"What do you mean by letting us see this?" Lin Xian asked directly.

"Don't be nervous." Hua Xiaoling said calmly, "This is just one of the projects in our institute. You just need to be quiet and observe."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian and KIKI both sensed a subtle aura from each other's gazes.

It was really weird to see the survivors playing experimental games outside the window.

……

Below, inside the test hall.

“It can be seen that everyone has a common question.”

The projected red head suddenly disappeared, and a light came on in the innermost part of the abyss room. Everyone then saw that there was a huge glass display window.

Inside the window, there was a mountain of supplies including food, water, weapons, and even daily necessities!!
Everyone's pupils shrank when they saw this scene, and even their thoughts stopped.

"The supplies here are enough for a person to survive for 10 years. This will be the reward for the winner of the game." The red head appeared again.

"So...what about the people who didn't win?"

Someone asked in panic
The others also came back from the shock of the mountain of supplies and looked ahead nervously.

The red phantom was like a living thing, and seemed to be able to "stare" at everyone.

"According to the rules of the game, eliminated players will be executed directly."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed drastically!

Are you kidding me? !

"No! No! No! I don't want to play this game! I want to quit, let me quit!!"

The young man in Room 4 was obviously panicked when he heard this and immediately shouted in fear.

Zizizi!
A hair-raising electric sound came again.

The young man was trembling all over, in a strange, spastic posture.

In an instant, a burnt and smelly mist came out of his body.

"Uh-huh~"

The electric current stopped, and the young man who had just been full of energy collapsed in pain on the chair, foaming at the mouth. He looked at the red head with horror, gasping for breath, and dared not speak anymore.

Everyone was shocked by this scene.

It seems that anyone who has any thoughts of resistance will be punished.

At this time everyone fell silent and no one dared to speak, for fear that they would be the next one to be punished.

"Oh~, it seems that everyone is smart. This makes me look forward to it even more."

The red head smiled and made a sinister sound.

"Now, I declare that the first round of the game is... [Jump]"

"Its" words seemed to hit everyone's heart hard, and the red head disappeared again.

Rumble!
At this time, the floor of the huge room in front slowly rose up. The floor was a square of black metal, and there seemed to be a mechanical structure underneath. Everyone only heard clanging sounds. The square ground sometimes rose and sometimes fell, revealing huge holes.

Everyone understood immediately after seeing it.

It was just like the scenes in early video games. If you missed a step, you would fall to your death.

"Please allow me to introduce this game to you. The name of this game is "Jumping". As the name suggests, it is to jump to the ground with a landing point, jumping 1 square at a time, until you pass through the house, which is considered a success."

Lin Xian was a little surprised when he heard this. He had been observing carefully. Although the area where the floor disappeared seemed to be irregular, the support and disappearance time were consistent.

It changes about every 5 seconds, and the missed location is generally smaller than the area with the floor.

In other words, it should be very simple as long as you seize this 5-second gap to jump.

The following eight people including KIKI had almost the same idea as Lin Xian. Perhaps this kind of game was an extremely high test of one's mental quality and on-the-spot reaction, but it did not seem to be difficult.

But the red head's next words completely stunned everyone.

"Next is a supplementary explanation. The participants of this game are active participants. The number of participants is limited to one person. After entering the room, they will be blindfolded for the entire process. The remaining 1 rooms will give the participants prompts to jump in an unknown order."

What kind of weird game is this?

"Wait, blindfold?? Doesn't that mean that if someone outside the venue gives the wrong hint, the participant will be killed?!"

The man with glasses in room 1 spoke with a panicked look on his face.

"Yes. If you pass the level successfully, all eight people will be alive and free. If you fail, the material reward will be obtained by the [murderer], and the [murderer] will also be alive and free. The others will proceed to the next game."

The red head's voice was like an ice-cold needle, piercing everyone's heart.

This game is completely different from what everyone imagined!
"What? Is it that simple? If it succeeds, we can all leave?" the man in Room 1 said immediately.

“It doesn’t sound that difficult.”

The woman in Room 3 heard her husband speak, so she also bravely said, "What is more important than life? As long as we work together, we will all be free soon!"

"Wait, can the eight of us communicate and discuss?"

At this time, the woman in Room 5 who had been silent all of a sudden spoke up. Her voice was cold and she seemed calmer than the others. "I mean, before starting the game."

"Of course you can," the red head replied, "You have 30 minutes to discuss each round of the game. After the game starts, the room will be closed and soundproofed. If no one joins the game after 30 minutes, everyone will declare the game a failure."

The red head's voice was loud and resonant in everyone's hearts.

Everyone saw a countdown on the screen rapidly counting down: 27:36, 27:35...

"Oh my God!~" The woman in Room 3 immediately covered her mouth and screamed, and she couldn't help trembling all over as she looked at the countdown.

"I think we shouldn't waste time."

The middle-aged man in Room 2 had a gloomy face and looked sternly at all the rooms on the right.

"Who is willing to stand up?"

"and many more!"

The bespectacled man in Room 1 pretended to be calm: "This game definitely requires our cooperation, so, are there any of us who have special abilities, or have any special skills? Everyone can introduce themselves, maybe there will be other solutions?"

He said this very cryptically, but everyone understood what he meant.

Let the superpowers stand up.

But after he finished speaking, he didn't hear any response, so he took the lead and said

"My name is Han Dong. Before Polar Night, I was a math teacher. I... I don't have any special abilities."

Seeing her husband talking, the woman in Room 3 also quickly said, "My name is Qiao Min, I'm just a salesperson and I don't have any special abilities. Han Dong and I are husband and wife..."

"I don't think there's any need to introduce myself."

At this time, the woman in Room 5 also spoke up. As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes were instantly drawn to her.

Her face was cold and serious, and she said directly: "This game looks simple, but there are actually two problems, namely, the victim and the betrayer."

"The sacrificer needs to bear the risk of being betrayed, but for other people, there is no risk. On the contrary, the betrayer can take the initiative. As long as he kills someone, he can ensure his own survival and obtain a large amount of supplies."

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

It seems that all the survival of everyone only requires temporary unity, but no one can rest assured. At doomsday, these people have a deeper understanding of human nature, and it is extremely difficult to give faith.

Time passed by minute by minute. The young man in Room 4 looked around nervously and could not sit still any longer. So he spoke directly.
"Then let me introduce myself. My name is Fang Xiaonian. I'm just a student. I don't have any special abilities, but my body has evolved and I'm quite agile."

"You all don't have superpowers? Humph, you all pretend to be innocent." The bald fat man in Room 6 looked disdainful, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. "My name is Wang Anjian, and I have superpowers."

"Zhao Bo, enhanced superpowers." The middle-aged man in a suit and tie in Room 2 spoke calmly
The young man in Room 7 also said nervously at this time: "My name is Chen Jia, I am just an ordinary machine gunner in the convoy, I don't have any special abilities."

The girl in Room 8 raised her head in fear and said, "My name is Wang Duo. I used to be a student, but now I am a prostitute in a large car team."

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly changed.

The bald fat man Wang Anjian glanced at her and said sarcastically, "She is indeed quite pretty. If she were in my team, I would stay and have some fun."

His words made Wang Duo shrink her neck involuntarily and tremble unnaturally, but she still kept her head down without any anger or response, only silent fear. It was obvious that her experience after the end of the world was not good.

When everyone else had finished their introductions, everyone's eyes fell on the blonde woman in room 5.

The woman's expression changed at this time, and she finally said in a deep voice: "Tan Meng... a wing-type supernatural being."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed, and the looks they gave her became complicated.

No wonder she didn't want to introduce herself, it turns out that she has the ability to fly and stay in the air. In this way, this jumping game is completely easy for her!

Tan Meng's face was gloomy. Feeling everyone's gazes, he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Don't look at me. I won't jump up, but I can promise that I won't be a betrayer."

"But you can fly. Even if you fall, you won't..." Qiao Min from Room 3 said anxiously.

"Humph." Zhao Bo in Room 2 snorted disdainfully: "This testing ground brought us here. Doesn't it take into account the special nature of people with special abilities?"

His words immediately made the room quiet again.

The self-introduction took about ten minutes, but the group still couldn't come to any conclusion.

"Okay, now that we've introduced ourselves, who wants to join?"

Zhao Bo in Room 2 looked superior and said loudly
After the introduction, everyone returned to the topic and fell silent again.

16 minutes left in the countdown.

At this time, Fang Xiaonian from Room 4 said timidly, "I...I want to tell you what I think."

Everyone looked around.

"We can raise numbers with our hands at the same time. Whoever raises a unique number will go up. Of course, we all have to reach a consensus in advance, that is, we must all work together and not betray each other, and then we will all survive together."

As soon as Fang Xiaonian said this, everyone else started thinking about it.

This sounded like the most appropriate yet helpless solution. The eight people had different expressions, and they seemed to have reached a consensus at this time.

"Okay, since everyone has no objection, let's get started."

Fang Xiaonian then clenched his fists and looked to the left and right: "I'll count to three, everyone show your numbers together."

The air became heavy.

"3"

"2"

"1"

Everyone counted the numbers together and immediately looked at everyone else.

At this time, only Tan Meng from room 5 was holding up a '1' and was successfully selected. Everyone's eyes turned to her.

Tan Meng's face turned pale, and her raised hand began to tremble unconsciously. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she suddenly said anxiously: "No, I don't want to participate, and no one can force me!!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Anjian in Room 6 sneered: "Sure enough, it's useless. Let's all wait for death together!"

Everyone had different expressions and fell silent again. As they watched the countdown decrease by every second, a feeling of suffocation began to surge in their hearts.

There are still 3 minutes left.

Just when everyone was at a loss, an extremely subtle voice suddenly rang out.

"I can go."

In the upper room, Lin Xian frowned and looked to the right, because the faint voice came from Wang Duo in Room 8.

At this moment, KIKI's expression was also tense, and she couldn't help but secretly grab Lin Xian's hand.

Down below, Wang Anjian in Room 6 looked at her oddly, then suddenly snorted and laughed.

"Okay, I support you and will definitely give you the correct answer."

He said this in a sarcastic tone, and no one believed that he was really that kind.

In Wang Anjian's opinion, a woman who had become a plaything in the end times was not something he took seriously. He was even secretly happy that someone was willing to be the first to step forward and step on the landmine.

"Really? Are you really going?" When Qiao Min saw someone was going, she said decisively, "I am willing to support you."

"I definitely will!" Han Dong shouted

"And me..." Fang Xiaonian also quickly expressed his opinion.

"I will definitely support you!" Tan Meng from Room 5 said excitedly.

Zhao Bo in Room 2 raised his hand at this time: "No matter who it is, if he is a traitor, I will kill him when I get out next time!"

His voice was cold, and he seemed to be speaking in a domineering manner.

But no one seemed to take it seriously at this time.

Chen Jia in Room 7 looked at the thin girl next to him in surprise. He nodded repeatedly with a pale face and said with dry lips: "I support you!"

Everyone suddenly became enthusiastic. Besides feeling incredible that someone would take the initiative to come forward, they were also ecstatic that they had a chance to survive.

Wang Duo sat there without raising her head, her eyes neither sad nor happy, filled with a kind of indifference. After she said that, I even felt a sense of relief from her.

"0:00"

After a long silence, the countdown ended.

The huge red head reappeared, glancing at everyone with a sinister smile.

"Very good, it looks like we have chosen our first challenger tonight."

After these words were spoken, the other seven people finally felt relieved.

The red head made a strange low sound
"Next, the game begins!"

click!
At this moment, the partitions of all the rooms became pitch black again, and at the same time, the sounds from all around were completely isolated.

A small screen with three buttons appeared on the metal table in front of the eight people.

They are ↑ [front], ← [left], and → [right] respectively.

One indicator light is gray.

This means that if the indicator light is on, then the corresponding room needs to be used to give Wang Duo instructions.

Follow the movement of the floor.

Only 5 seconds.

Given the correct instructions, Wang Duo survived.

Wang Duo died due to wrong instructions.
