The same problem that Lin Sanjiu and her team faced was undoubtedly happening to the other teams as well.
It was impossible to find five specific books out of nearly four million books by relying on manpower alone. Under such circumstances, it was obvious that different teams had developed different strategies.
It was obvious that the intruders didn't just want to see if there were any books in the central hall.
So, what was their strategy? At this stage, it was impossible for anyone to find the books, so why were they in such a hurry?
"I don't know which team is coming, but it is obvious that they are one of the first three teams." Even though Lin Sanjiu couldn't figure it out, her ability to remain calm in times of crisis was as clear as the morning sun. Her skinless jaw muscles were slightly stretched as she spoke quickly and softly, "Only the first three teams who have hidden themselves would know that we are hiding in the central hall. Furthermore, the reason why they were able to seize the opportunity of the few minutes of darkness was because they knew that it would take a few minutes for the lights to be switched on at night. Don't forget, the first three teams had been waiting here for two days! As for their numbers, I can't tell for now. However, since they dared to come here, they must have at least two or three people. "
Lin Sanjiu suddenly regained her ability to speak. Furthermore, the moment she opened her mouth, she revealed such a shocking piece of information. Rena and Rena were so shocked that they didn't even think to ask her how she knew about it. After a few seconds, Rena came to her senses and asked softly, "Where are they? Why can't I see them? "
"They are still far away from us. Right now, they are near bookshelf number 80. They are coming from two different directions — "Lin Sanjiu scanned the area with her higher consciousness and said," They are walking very slowly. I don't think they know that we have already discovered them. "
"What should we do?" Ever since Lin Sanjiu regained her ability to speak, the siblings seemed to listen to her wholeheartedly.
Lin Sanjiu didn't expect that after she recovered her higher consciousness this time, she would choose to construct a different body compared to the previous time. Her throat, vocal cords, and blood vessels were all present. Even her trachea and esophagus were clearly visible. Suddenly, she heard Mrs. Manas's drawn-out "Ah, I'm so tired." Lin Sanjiu finally understood something.
"Let's beat them at their own game," Lin Sanjiu focused her attention on the few blurry figures that were approaching them. "Since they don't know, we can use this opportunity to engage in guerilla warfare."
"If the numbers are equal. If they outnumber us, we will try to get round them, and leave the central hall stealthily -- but where to go after that is a question. "
Because in the past few hours, they did not hear any sounds of conflict. There was a high possibility that the five teams were separated into five different regions to avoid bumping into each other.
If they could successfully get out of the central hall, which of the four branches should they go to? Even if Silvan and Kieran were excluded from the east wing, it was still a question of three choices.
"If we can find out where the team that surrounded us came from, that place should be empty now. We can go to their original location —" Reno said thoughtfully.
The upper left corner of the Central Hall was the East Hall, the lower left corner was the West Hall, the upper right corner was the South Hall, and the lower right corner was the North Hall. Geographically speaking, the Central Hall was not only equidistant from the four branch halls. Furthermore, it was equally convenient no matter which direction it went. There was no way to determine where the attackers were coming from just from the distance.
However, Lin Sanjiu noticed that they did not have much time left.
Lin Sanjiu nodded slightly at the siblings, and the two kids immediately followed her silently. Their movements were swift and silent. Very soon, they climbed to the top of the bookshelves.
The bookshelves were so close to each other that there was no gap between them. They formed a path that extended in all directions. Furthermore, to the enemies who did not realize that they had been discovered, the top of the bookshelves would become their biggest blind spot.
Even with the fluorescent lights, the light from the thin tubes was still too dim. The top of the bookshelves might still be bright, but as the bookshelves moved downward, the light became darker and darker. When a person crouched down and crouched on the ground, they would be completely submerged in the shadows.
Because of this, when Lin Sanjiu and her group were only a few bookshelves away from the attackers, they could not make out any more than a few. She was shocked to realize that there were six of them.
Being surrounded by so many bookshelves, her higher consciousness was greatly hindered!
The two people closest to them were right below bookshelf 50, one in front of the other, and they were crouching. There were a few more people approaching them from different directions.
The siblings didn't know what to do. They turned to look at Lin Sanjiu at the same time.
Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and immediately crouched down. Then, she gestured and the siblings also crouched down.
The two men, whose faces could not be seen clearly, were crouching in the shadows. Their footsteps were very fast. From time to time, they would glance at each other through the gaps between the bookshelves. They seemed very vigilant.
Due to the existence of the number of lives, no matter how lethal the attack was, it was impossible to kill two people unless they used something like an explosion. It was too difficult to take down two people at once. Furthermore, there were no pursuers behind them. As long as they sneaked past them, they could leave Area W unknowingly. They could even leave the central hall.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Sanjiu shook her head at the two kids.
The two attackers did not notice anything unusual above them. They looked after each other and quickly walked past Lin Sanjiu and her group. They disappeared from the area of bookshelf 50.
A conflict was avoided.
"What should we do next?" The siblings looked at the skinless and muscular person beside them again and waited for her opinion.
They had two options now. The first option was to stay where they were and wait. When the intruders couldn't find them, they would most likely return to their original branch and the situation would return to the same as before. The second option was to find out which branch the intruders were from and enter the intruders' branch while they were still here.
"I think we should move to the next branch as soon as possible. It is safer than staying here. The central hall is connected to the entrances of the four other branches. We won't be able to see them, so they can come and go as they please. But, how do we know which branch they are from? "Rena asked softly, a little anxious.
"I have an idea about this," Lin Sanjiu said. She had been thinking about this issue the whole time. "Don't you find it strange? Regardless of the reason, even if they wanted to attack another team, why did they pick us and not Silvan? There are three of us and two of them. Obviously, they are easier targets. "
"Unless... unless..."
"This intruder team came from the south wing and the north wing. There isn't enough time for them to cross the central hall and reach the east wing!"
However, even though Kisaragi Library occupied a large area, the two minutes of darkness should be enough for a posthuman to cross the central hall. After all, the central hall was only about 500 to 700 meters long.
"It's the north wing!" Lin Sanjiu's body trembled. She blurted out almost at the same time as the siblings.
"That's right. They must have come from the north wing." She spoke very quickly. She was also combing through her deductions to find a loophole, "The distance between the south wing and the east wing is only a few hundred meters. The distance from any of the branches to where we are now is about the same. There is no reason for them to give up on the team with fewer people and choose the team with more people. Only the north wing, which is diagonal to the east wing, can escape when the lights are off. "
Just as she said that, she suddenly saw a white light flash from the higher consciousness scan in her mind. The siblings beside her couldn't help shouting, "Lin Sanjiu, be careful!" Then, a silhouette suddenly leaped up from below. A white arc of light swept toward Lin Sanjiu menacingly. (To be continued.)
