It will be soon. I'm not feeling well today, so I've been delayed for quite a while. As expected, I didn't stick to my usual routine and woke up at one in the afternoon...
"Huff, huff …"
The sound of heavy breathing echoed in the narrow maze corridor. It seemed that the person who made the sound had exhausted all his energy. In the silence, the sound was coarse and clear. Lara was the first to break down. She slowed down as if she was about to collapse. Panting, she turned around and asked, "That, that … that woman, are you still going after her?"
Before the two people behind her could open their mouths, a long shadow suddenly emerged from the corner and responded to her question.
The mouthparts charged straight at Old Wang, scaring him so much that he shrank his head back. The mouthparts, which were filled with sharp teeth, scratched a long gash on the wall. Broken bricks and stones fell from the gash.
"Motherf * cker, stop running!" When Old Wang raised his head again, he finally made up his mind. He shouted angrily and grabbed Lara's arm, "I don't believe that the three of us can't beat her! Didn't we knock out the rabbit too? "
Lara hesitated for two seconds, then glanced behind her from the corner of her eyes.
"But that's because the rabbit lacks an Advanced Ability. It doesn't have much combat power." Zhong Junkai was a little anxious as he tried to persuade his girlfriend, "Why don't you return the rabbit to her and we can go look for a cubicle?"
Lara frowned. She suppressed her irritation and said with a cold face, "Look for a cubicle? Do you know where it is? Can you bring me there now? Among us, you are the only one who didn't lose any of your Advanced Abilities. You don't even want to help, and yet you say such things! "
"She is as weak as us now … Zhong Junkai, don't worry." Old Wang grinned at Zhong Junkai when he saw him staring at his girlfriend speechlessly. "Besides, there is still me and Miss Lara."
Looking at Lin Sanjiu, who was walking toward him step by step, Zhong Junkai felt someone push him from behind. When he turned around, he didn't know who pushed him. All he saw was his girlfriend's bloodshot eyes.
Gritting his teeth, he lowered his back and got into a sprinting posture. Then, he pounced at Lin Sanjiu.
Lin Sanjiu had heard their conversation, so she had her guard up. When she saw Zhong Junkai charging at her at an alarming speed, she didn't dare to face him head-on. She immediately dodged to the side. However, Zhong Junkai acted as if he had eyes on the back of his head. He made a sharp turn and charged at her again with a ferocious momentum.
[Hit-And-Run]
The exclusive ability of the children of rich families gave their bodies the speed of an F1 car and a weight of several tons. Anyone who was hit by such a collision would either die or be seriously injured. However, as the perpetrator, he was able to safely escape from the scene.
The corridors of the maze were too narrow. Lin Sanjiu only managed to dodge once before she realized that there was no more space for her to dodge. Seeing that Zhong Junkai was charging at her like a wild bull, Lin Sanjiu had an idea. She smashed the mouthpiece in her hand against the wall, and the spikes immediately pierced deep into the wall. Then, Lin Sanjiu pushed off the ground and used the momentum to throw herself into the air.
Zhong Junkai slammed into the wall with a bang, and the towering, continuous black wall even shook from the impact.
He probably didn't expect that Lin Sanjiu, who was already in a predicament, would suddenly disappear from his sight. He held his shoulder and couldn't help being stunned for a second.
However, in that one second, Lin Sanjiu swung the mouthpiece down again and kicked him hard in the face. He didn't even have the chance to resist. He fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time. The courage he had mustered up earlier had been shattered by that kick. In addition to the fact that he didn't want to fight, Zhong Junkai covered his face with his hand. The anger he felt after being beaten wasn't even as obvious as the pain in his nose.
Lin Sanjiu shot a glance at him and ignored him. She turned around and walked toward Ol 'Wong and Lin Sanjiu. However, when she looked up, she was stunned.
The other end of the passageway was completely empty at this moment. Where was the shadow of a person?
"You idiot!" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help venting her anger on Zhong Junkai, "They are just using you as a delaying tactic! They used you as a shield and sent you to your death, but you came without even asking! "
"Huh?" Zhong Junkai's face turned even paler. Half of his face was bleeding from his nose. He stood up abruptly, "L-L-Lara? I'm fine. Where are you? "
His anxious voice echoed in the dark space. It was muffled by the high walls and turned into a faint line. When it reached Lara's ears, there was only a faint noise.
Ol 'Wong, who was panting like a bull beside her, looked at Lara and asked, "Did you just leave him here?"
The petite girl didn't answer. Her bangs were blown away by the wind, revealing her expressionless face.
"After running away like that, he... he is going to starve to death. Haha …" Ol 'Wong wanted to wipe the sweat off his face, but his arms were too weak to lift. "We spent so much effort to find a naive young master …"
"Why do you have so much nonsense to say?" Lara rolled her eyes at him impatiently. She was a little frightened. "What nonsense?" As they spoke, the path in front of them ended. There were two forks in the road. Lara stopped and thought for a moment. She panted and walked into the passage on the right.
Ol 'Wong chased after her without stopping, "I've seen Zhong Junkai's father before —"
In less than half a minute, they reached the end of the passage on the right. It was a dead end. For her body, it was as if she hadn't eaten for half a day. Her stomach was churning with acid … Lara was so hungry that she felt as if her stomach was about to devour her organs. When she heard what Ol 'Wong said, she looked at him with her bloodshot eyes, "So what?"
As they spoke, the two of them turned around and walked towards the other fork in the road.
"For a girl of unknown origin, his family cut off his financial resources for several years. In the end, Old Zhong couldn't take it anymore and took the initiative to find his son …" Ol 'Wong laughed. "The world is destroyed. Why are you still by his side?"
Lara looked at the tall wall not far away. She was so anxious that she wanted to pull her hair and scream. Fortunately, after taking two steps, she realized that there was a small path on the right side of the wall. Lara heaved a sigh of relief and casually scolded, "Who are you calling of unknown origin? What does it have to do with you whether I'm after his money or his belongings? The world is destroyed. Why are you still talking so much nonsense? "
There was a piece of plastic paper pasted on the wall in front of them. It was fluttering in the wind.
The two of them hesitantly walked forward and peeled off the plastic paper. Ol 'Wong turned it over and looked at it. He muttered to himself, "What kind of painting is this …"
There was a sudden silence. There was no response. Then, a loud "gulp" sound of saliva being swallowed broke the silence. Ol 'Wong felt Lara suddenly take a few steps forward. When he turned around to take a look, he was instantly dumbfounded.
In the corridor, on the ground not far in front of them, there was a box of food.
Being warmed by the steam in the air, the aroma of the full lunch box could practically hook one's stomach out. How long had it been since they had seen such fresh and hot food? The dark green chives were mixed in with the large pieces of fresh, yellow, and tender eggs. It looked as if one could not bite through them in one bite. The thick skin of the braised pig's feet was trembling, and there was a layer of red oil on the surface. It made the stir-fried Chinese broccoli beside it look even more verdant.
The two of them took two steps forward in a daze. Then, without saying a word, they suddenly rushed forward.
"No, that can't be right … Didn't Mr. Dot say that there was a table here …" Ol 'Wong held back the saliva that was gushing out of his mouth. His tongue was soaked in his saliva, and he couldn't even speak clearly. "This doesn't look like it's for four people …"
"Then tell me, where did this food come from?" Lara did not even lift her eyelids, as if she was afraid that she would be too slow. She reached out and grabbed a large piece of oily and tender egg and stuffed it into her mouth. "Aren't there a total of four things here?!"
She chewed hurriedly and perfunctorily. She was anxious for the hot egg to soothe her hungry and thirsty stomach.
When Ol 'Wong saw that she was moving, he also hurriedly grabbed a piece of pig's feet and a small piece of steamed rice. He opened his mouth wide and sent them into his esophagus. "Oh, it's, it's delicious …"
The taste was too delicious. It was not because he was starving, but because the food itself was a supreme delicacy. The mellow and fragrant taste was accompanied by just the right amount of fatty skin. It was so smooth in his mouth that it seemed as if it would immediately melt, turning into a delicious ball between his lips and teeth. "After starving for so many days, it's not good for the body to suddenly eat meat," Ol 'Wong thought as he forced himself to chew a few more mouthfuls. Then, he swallowed the pig's feet impatiently.
Just as he reached for the egg, he saw that Lara, who was chewing with her mouth full, suddenly stopped moving. She just stared at him.
Ol 'Wong seized the opportunity to grab all the eggs in the box. He glanced at Lara with a puzzled expression before stuffing them into his mouth.
"Plop!" Lian Xiaolian's eyes were wide open as her body fell straight to the ground. White foam mixed with the Chinese broccoli that she did not manage to chew in time spurted out from the corner of her mouth.
Before Lao Wang could react to what was going on, his field of vision turned completely black.
Two minutes after the two of them died, a figure staggered out from the corner.
"[Inedible lunch]? Why, why is it here? "Lin Sanjiu's face was pale as she stared at the scene in front of her in astonishment. There were two stiff bodies lying on top of the rice and dishes scattered on the ground. Their skin was turning yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lin Sanjiu only reacted after she stared at them for a while. She quickly crouched down and dug into Ol 'Wong's pocket.
The soft and motionless brown rabbit's abdomen was still rising and falling slightly when she pulled it out of her pocket.
"That … that scared me …" Lin Sanjiu let out a long sigh of relief. She put the rabbit into the pocket of her combat pants. Her nose was filled with the aroma of the food. She had to pinch the skin on her hand to stop herself from pouncing on the food.
However, a black figure suddenly appeared behind her. He reached for the food and let out a low growl. Lin Sanjiu reacted quickly and kicked him away. Then, she pulled him back and yelled, "Don't eat! Can't you see that both of them are poisoned to death? "
It was only then that Zhong Junkai noticed that his girlfriend's face had turned yellow. Even her body was stiff.
He suddenly forgot about his pig hands and sat on the ground. He wanted to take a few steps back, but he still wanted to crawl forward shakily. Finally, he froze on the spot. "Miss, Miss Lin … What's going on?"
Lin Sanjiu stared at him in bewilderment, "Isn't this yours? It's a Special Item, [Inedible lunch]! "
Lin Sanjiu had won the [Inedible lunch] from a treasure chest in the first round of the game. Since Ol 'Wong and Lara ate the lunch without hesitation, it meant that it didn't belong to either of them. Therefore, other than Lin Sanjiu and the rabbit, Zhong Junkai was the only one left.
However, Zhong Junkai stared at the food and shook his head like a madman, "No, no, no … I didn't … This isn't mine!"
Lin Sanjiu frowned and thought for a moment. Suddenly, she exclaimed and smacked her forehead.
Yes, in the first round of the game, both the Red and White Teams had their prizes deducted and placed in the treasure chests. In that case, what she won might not necessarily belong to the Red Team … As for herself, she felt that it was useless, so she submitted it as a prize in the second round of the game and lost it to the White Team. From the looks of it, it had returned to its original owner and was used to set up such a trap, killing two members of the Red Team in one fell swoop.
"This labyrinth is so big, and the Red and the White Squads set off from both sides. If they meet here …" Lin Sanjiu mumbled to herself as she stepped over the corpses and continued forward. "In other words, we are almost at the center of the maze."
"The cubicles can't be set very close to a certain team. Otherwise, it would be too unfair …" Thinking of this, she shivered and immediately looked around.
"Could the dinner table be nearby?"
