[I've been so busy these few days that I haven't been sleeping well. I'm especially sleepy today. I just want to lie in bed and eat until I fall asleep. I don't want to do anything else … The main text is almost done. I'll send it to you guys later.]
After running into a few dead ends, Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to turn back a few times. Zhong Junkai was physically exhausted, so she had already lost track of Lin Sanjiu at one of the forks in the maze. Lin Sanjiu was the only sound she could hear in the dark and seemingly endless passages of the maze.
She couldn't run anymore. Lin Sanjiu dragged her feet and held onto the wall as she moved forward step by step. She had no idea where she was going. When she saw the two forks in front of her again, she couldn't take it anymore and fell to the ground.
Ever since she found Ol 'Wong and Lara's corpses, she had tried her best to move as fast as she could. However, even after ten minutes, she still couldn't find the cubicle.
In other words, her body hadn't eaten for another ten days.
Come to think of it, she had been starving for about two months. A normal person would have starved to death by now.
Even though Lin Sanjiu wasn't dead yet, she was on the verge of death even with her enhanced physical abilities. Her eyesight had long been blurred, and her vision was blurred. Her ears seemed to be gradually filled with the sound of a surging tide.
If she continued like this, she would only end up in a coma and death.
"Hiss —" Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her leg, pulling her back from the edge of chaos. Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes and realized that she had fallen to the ground. She touched her thigh with her trembling hand, "What … What was that …"
B.Rabbit, who was pulled out from her pocket by the ear, had probably just woken up. His eyes were unfocused and his mouth was still opening and closing as he made some sounds. Lin Sanjiu pulled him away and scolded him hoarsely, "Why did you bite my leg?"
Only then did B.Rabbit come back to his senses. "Huh? Ah … Is that your leg? It looks like grass … "
That's the fabric of a combat pants! Lin Sanjiu wanted to scold him, but she didn't have the strength to open her mouth.
"Oh yeah, you were the one who saved me, right?" B.Rabbit, who had regained his senses, spoke in a weak voice. "Thank … Thank you."
"Ugh …" Lin Sanjiu's lips had turned blue. She didn't look any better.
The man and the rabbit were so hungry that they were confused. After lying on the ground for a while, they finally forced themselves to get up and drank a few mouthfuls of water on the ground. After drinking a few mouthfuls of dirty water mixed with mud, it actually fooled their stomachs and made them feel slightly better. No wonder they heard that in the old days, when people were extremely hungry, they would eat dirt.
Since he was awake, he had to continue walking.
While Lin Sanjiu still had some strength left, B.Rabbit whispered to her from her shoulder, "Wait!" Then, it lifted its little pink nose, and its nose began to vibrate at an extremely high frequency, as if it had smelled something.
Even though his enhanced ability was not as good as Lin Sanjiu's, as a rabbit, his sense of smell and hearing were much better than a human's.
After a few seconds, Rabbit turned around and said, "There's a faint smell of blood on the right fork."
Lin Sanjiu immediately perked up. "Let's go and take a look!"
The fork on the right was very long. After a few turns, a new fork appeared. If it wasn't for B.Rabbit's constant pursuit of the faint smell of blood, Lin Sanjiu would have lost her way again. After running for five minutes with all her strength, she felt that she was going to faint at any moment. Finally, she noticed something strange.
"Blood … Blood?" Lin Sanjiu's stomach had only digested a little bit of soil over the past five days. She was in a very bad condition, and her cheeks were deeply sunken. B.Rabbit had long lost the strength to sit on her shoulder. When he heard Lin Sanjiu's question, he slowly poked his head out of his pocket and looked at the road ahead.
There were a few droplets of blood splashed on the road, forming a string that stretched out intermittently towards the corridor in the distance. At that moment, a shocking thought flashed through her mind. "If there's no food, drinking some blood would be good..."
Lin Sanjiu used a lot of strength to pull herself back to reality.
"Do you want to go over?" B.Rabbit asked weakly. "It might be dangerous ahead."
"If we don't go, we will die soon." Lin Sanjiu's vision was blurry, and she didn't even know how to move her feet. She held onto the wall and followed the direction of the blood trail. Bit by bit, her legs trembled as she walked into the dark passage.
Perhaps it was because she was standing on the edge of death, her eyesight wasn't very good, and everything was dark. After walking like this for a while, Lin Sanjiu suddenly narrowed her eyes. Then, she realized that her eyes had been blinded by light.
"... Light? Where did the light come from? "
"Why, why is there someone here again?"
An unfamiliar female voice suddenly rang out. It was low and hoarse, as if she had exhausted all her strength just to speak.
Lin Sanjiu quivered and looked up. Only then did she realize that something was wrong.
She was in a daze just now, so she didn't notice that the passage in front of her was filled with people.
The person closest to her was a long-legged woman in a red dress that had lost its original color due to the mud. She was also the one who spoke just now. Standing opposite her were two figures, one tall and one short. They were Hai Tianqing and Hu Changzai, both of whom looked extremely hungry. The guy who lost to her in the first round of the game was leaning against the wall, staring at Lin Sanjiu with a gloomy expression.
The owner of the blood trail was easy to recognize. The guy in the flowery shirt, whose leg had been broken by Lin Sanjiu's kick, was lying stiffly on the ground. His hand was still clutching his throat, and his blood was splattered far away. He was already dead.
However, none of this was as eye-catching as the warm light on her left.
Behind a clean glass door, there was a warm yellow light that dyed the space orange. Under the orange light, the snow-white tablecloth seemed even softer. The transparent glasses glinted like diamonds. Even though there was a door between them and she shouldn't be able to smell it, Lin Sanjiu could really smell the four plates covered by the round cover. They were giving off hot steam and a delicious aroma.
"Dinner table!"
Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened. Just as she moved her body, a small metallic silhouette suddenly flew toward her face. Perhaps because food was right in front of her, a burst of energy erupted from her body. She summoned her card, transformed her mouthpart, and whipped the silhouette away. The whole process was done in one smooth motion.
Clang! The silhouette fell to the ground. It was only then that Lin Sanjiu realized it was a steel needle.
The woman in the red dress waved her hand with a gloomy expression. Another steel needle appeared in her hand. The other young man also took a step forward. He clenched his fists tightly.
"You are really unlucky!" Even though the woman in the red dress's smile was weak, it didn't hide her ruthlessness. "We have to get rid of an extra member of our team, let alone an enemy like you!"
Even though Lin Sanjiu had heard that this woman was not to be trifled with, she was still taken aback. "Even though there are only four sets of cutlery inside, wouldn't we all be able to survive if we share the food? Why kill? "
The young man's shadow answered her. He held a scythe-shaped weapon in his hand and swung it at Lin Sanjiu's face.
However, before the scythe could reach Lin Sanjiu's face, the young man's entire body was sent flying by a thick arm. He crashed into the high black wall and blood splattered everywhere. When he slid down the wall, his eyes were tightly shut. He had already lost consciousness.
"What are you doing?" The long-legged woman was shocked by the unexpected turn of events. She took a few steps back from Hai Tianqing. "Why are you helping her?"
"I'm sorry. We are actually her companions."
Hai Tianqing remained silent. Hu Changzai, who was standing beside him, nodded his head. He looked a little apologetic. "We will try our best to end the game before you starve to death."
"Stop joking!" the long-legged woman roared angrily. Her legs were trembling uncontrollably. "Are you all idiots? The loser will have everything taken away … Who do you want to lose? Companions? To hell with companions! "
Even though Hu Changzai's face was pale, his expression was very calm. He looked at Lin Sanjiu and adjusted his glasses. "Are you sure you have a way to deal with this?"
"I'm about 70% to 80% sure," Lin Sanjiu panted and laughed softly. At this moment, a rabbit head stuck out of her pocket and greeted Hai Tianqing, "Hey, Cadre Hai."
"It's been a long time, rabbit." Hai Tianqing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the rabbit. "Finally, the four of us are back."
The long-legged woman seemed to know that she had lost the upper hand. She slumped to the ground, her face ashen. She mumbled something under her breath, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't hear what she was saying.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't sympathize with the vicious woman. She just couldn't understand why the woman looked so desperate. Lin Sanjiu looked at Hu Changzai with a puzzled expression. Hu Changzai looked at her and smiled bitterly. "It's not that we didn't think about sharing the food, but … Look."
Lin Sanjiu followed his finger and saw a few lines of small words on the ground in front of the glass door.
The food for four people was, of course, for four people.
Only the four contestants could enter the room behind the door.
It was strictly forbidden to bring food out of the room. Otherwise, they would be punished with death.
No wonder the long-legged woman was so desperate. She also understood that she was probably facing the fate of starving to death …
Lin Sanjiu thought to herself in a daze. She followed her companions and sat down at the dining table.
Just a few minutes ago, she had experienced a battle with her teammates in the dark maze. Her teammates were poisoned to death, and she had a conflict with the members of the White Team. Now, walking into such a clean and elegant place, sitting under the bright lights, holding a knife and fork, preparing to eat — this feeling was too surreal.
When Lin Sanjiu removed the cover of the plate, she was greeted by the aroma of hot food. It was so delicious that Lin Sanjiu's heart almost stopped. She felt as if there was a monster living in her stomach, howling and wanting to stuff food into her body.
"Huh?" Her spoon paused for a moment.
The golden-red soup with carrots floating on it, the soft white bread, and the green onion salad were all covered by a plastic film.
There was a piece of yellow paper on the plastic film. The words were written in striking black letters:
Round Four
[Among the four of you, which one is Mr. Dot?]
