Chapter 99: Come on everyone!
Lin Han has never been a hot-tempered person and he rarely curses, but this moment he really couldn't hold it back anymore.
He just stood there, a ball of rage brewing in his chest, ready to explode at any moment, blowing everything he could see to ashes.
Especially the numbers in front of him.
He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and barely suppressed his anger, trying his best to calm himself down.
The effect was not very good, and his breathing was particularly obvious in the corridor.
The other four people's eyes fell on him, their numb minds a little confused, not understanding where his concrete anger came from.
But speaking was tiring, so they continued to wait.
For the first time, Lin Han didn't notice the actions of the person next to him. He was still staring at the paused countdown on the task interface.
This so-called countdown, whether from its expression or its previous changes, refers to time.
For a long time, it was indeed time.
Lin Han used it to judge the speed of the wall's advancement in the initial room. When he first looked at the time, it played the role it was supposed to play, but since some time, it has quietly changed.
The numbers that originally represented the time still retained the pattern of counting seconds within minutes, but this was more like a disguise to deceive the eyes of Lin Han and others.
They were so tired of moving forward, numbed by the exhausting choices that were repeated one after another, that no one noticed anything wrong with this ordinary countdown.
Just glance at the countdown, and as long as it is still moving, no one will notice anything unusual.
Lin Han had previously felt that time passed faster than he had imagined, but he didn't expect that it had indeed become faster, but he just didn't believe his own feelings.
In most cases, this feels more like a complaint. Who would really suspect that there is something wrong with the countdown displayed in the task list?
To be more precise, from a certain moment on, it no longer refers to time, but to distance.
When Lin Han took a step forward, the time was shortened by two minutes. When he took a step back, the time went back by two minutes.
Lin Han had to walk 30 steps to reach the next choice in this corridor, and it took him an hour to walk from the beginning to the end.
No one knows when this change began, but Lin Han judged that it must have happened recently.
They had walked such a long way and had to make the same choice countless times. Crossing a corridor meant they lost an hour, so even 24 hours was not enough for them to complete the journey.
If Lin Han hadn't suddenly had the urge to check the countdown and noticed something was wrong, everyone would have assumed that there were only 8 hours left to clear the dungeon. Wouldn't they not even know when the countdown was over?
But when the countdown reaches [0:00:00], can they really complete the copy?
Lin Han doesn't think so.
Since the copy has given a countdown limit and tampered with the countdown, it must not be just that simple.
"Did you discover it?" Someone suddenly spoke in his ear. Although he was used to the sound of its breathing, Lin Han was still frightened by the sudden sound.
"Does this count as me helping you by accident?" The voice moved from Lin Han's right ear to his left, physically switching between left and right channels. "You should thank me."
It was actually not very good at hiding its true nature. Lin Han originally thought that the character it revealed was something it showed him on purpose. But when he heard it speak at this moment, although it was asking for credit, there was a clear sense of unhappiness in its tone. It was obvious that it did not want Lin Han to discover the problem with the countdown.
Its purpose of appearing here is to kill Lin Han, so anything that benefits Lin Han will be of no benefit to it.
It's normal for it to be unhappy.
So it is normal for Lin Han to be happy.
It was almost the first time that Lin Han spoke to him in such a nice tone: "Thank you."
"Don't refuse, you deserve this thanks."
“…”
The corridor was silent.
Lin Han didn't get an answer. Ye Ting and others who were watching didn't know why Lin Han said that, but they knew he must be talking to the monster on his back.
It was a bit of a strange conversation, but it had come to a point where almost everyone had exhausted all their options. Even though she should have been more cautious, Ye Ting still didn't let go of Lin Han's hand.
"Look at the countdown on your task interface, and then come to me." Lin Han didn't let them wait too long and said directly.
The four people opened their eyes wide in surprise.
No rest, no sleep, highly tense spirits, everyone's brain was like a mess.
They didn't understand why but still did as they were told.
Only after hearing the sound of footsteps did Lin Han begin to explain, from how he discovered that something was wrong with the countdown to how he inferred that the end of the corridor might not just be a matter of distance. He also emphasized that there were only about 7 choices left before completing the dungeon, and after walking through the next seven corridors, they would face the final danger.
In fact, Lin Han was really not sure whether there would be any danger, but he couldn't help but think about it.
He could only guess the worst possible outcome for what they were about to face.
Ye Ting and the others who watched the countdown increase became visibly annoyed, just like Lin Han just now.
What the hell is this copy for!
No wonder they can keep walking and walking like this. It is not difficult to move forward after they find the perfect solution. They are almost numb from walking!
Just to let them down? To make them continue numbly after reaching the end?
Did it never intend to give people a chance to survive from the beginning?
Ye Ting gritted her teeth. While the others were cursing, she clenched her hands so tightly that Lin Han's hands creaked. Scared, Lin Han hurriedly patted her hands: "Hand! Hand! Be gentle!"
Ye Ting finally reacted and hurriedly apologized to him.
Lin Han gave his miserable hand some treatment.
Thank you Teacher Su Fu.
Perhaps because the hope of passing the level was just ahead, except for Lin Han, the others were also in high spirits, and the restraints on their backs did not make them feel as listless as before.
"Then let's go quickly?" Wen Cheng stood at the front, wanting to walk through all seven corridors in one breath.
He didn't want to endure it any longer.
"Let's go," Lin Han nodded, letting Ye Ting hold his hand and walk forward, "I'll watch the countdown."
He was the perfect person to watch the countdown, but the others probably couldn't help but watch it, so it didn't matter.
They walked through the seventh corridor from the bottom, and then the sixth corridor from the bottom. Because the monster in the wrong corridor would always stand at the outermost edge and stare at them, there was almost no suspense in Wen Cheng's choice.
But as the game is about to end, for the safety of everyone and to avoid an accidental rollover before the end, he will continue throwing the ball according to Ye Ting's previous arrangement.
Although it will delay a little time, it's only a little bit.
They've been waiting a long time, so this is not a big deal.
But when there were only two hours left in the countdown, the man holding Lin Han's hand loosened his grip, but Lin Han grabbed it tightly with his backhand, and was knocked to the ground by the force of his hand.
Lin Han's knees hit the ground and his eyes went black in pain.
He can receive treatment, and although it will make him more mentally exhausted, it is not a big problem after all. However... Lin Han, who was originally standing, knelt on the ground, and the pressure on his back was getting heavier and heavier.
The monster fell all over him.
It had not previously entangled him like the monsters on the others, nor had it placed its entire weight on him, but this time, it seized a good opportunity.
Lin Han coughed twice. He was almost unable to breathe due to the pressure. His knees hurt so much that they seemed to be broken, but he couldn't get up at all.
But for a moment no one seemed to care about him.
The one lying on the ground was Ye Ting.
As the countdown gradually decreased, the monsters on their bodies became more and more agitated and tightened their grip, making them suffer terribly.
She might have wanted to hold on a little longer, but suddenly she lost consciousness and fell to the ground without any warning.
The fall didn't wake her up.
She was too small, and the monster on her was too big for her. The power gap caused by the size difference could not be easily made up.
This actually has nothing to do with the countdown, it's the wall catching up.
Lin Han couldn't see it, but Jiang Lili and the others who turned around could see that the wall with the red-painted wooden door was following them and was approaching them little by little because of their pause.
The danger from the monster is approaching, so the monster is restless.
"White Bubble, if you don't say anything, I will take it as your agreement." Its voice sounded in Lin Han's ears again.
The fingers covering Lin Han's eyes moved slowly, pressing Lin Han's eyelids, and the fragile eyeballs soon felt uncomfortable.
It continued to speak: "I don't need to ask you, you just need to become what I want."
Lin Han sneered.
What white bubbles? There really is no little mermaid here.
He is a person, and if he wants to turn into a bubble, it has to be red.
The weight on my back was still increasing. It was not a weight that a human should bear.
Lin Han felt dizzy.
At this time, Wen Cheng wanted to help him up, but he quickly waved his hand: "Wait."
Following the location in his memory, Lin Han reached out and touched Ye Ting who was lying beside him.
He began to treat Ye Ting.
Because he had given one hand to Ye Ting, he could only use the other hand to support the ground. He soon could not support his body and leaned against the ground with one side of his cheek almost touching the wooden floor.
This posture was really embarrassing for Lin Han. Her waist was almost broken and her legs were twitching.
But once Wen Cheng helped him stand up, he would have to squat down to treat Ye Ting, which was a waste of effort.
It was not until Ye Ting next to her suddenly gasped and woke up that Lin Han waved to Wen Cheng and asked him to pull her up.
The monster's power only affects the chosen person, and Wen Cheng cannot feel it, so it is easy for him to pull Lin Han up.
"Drag Ye Ting away, don't pull her up."
She couldn't stand up even if they pulled her up, and it would be difficult to support her. It would be better to just drag her away. Her weight was really nothing to Jiang Lili and Wen Cheng.
The wall was still approaching and they could not stay any longer.
The group of five moved forward again. This time, Jiang Lili led the way, Dai Zisheng held Lin Han, and Wen Cheng grabbed Ye Ting's collar and dragged her forward.
"Isn't it better to leave her behind?" The voice in Lin Han's ear was still asking.
This time everyone could hear its sound, including Ye Ting, who was lying on the ground and was half unconscious.
"Bringing her along is just another burden," the voice then turned sarcastic again, "That's right, it wasn't you who did the hard work, so of course you don't care."
No one else spoke.
Only Lin Han spoke: "Countdown to two hours."
"Come on, everyone."
