Chapter 255 Plant Maze
The door on the right side of the train was closed. Someone curiously went up to take a look. Through the door glass, there was an endless dark world outside.
The curious person turned around and got off the train through the open door on the left.
This time, the platform was obviously limited to the area in front of us. No one knew how big it was or where the exit hall was.
The plant wall was four or five meters high and spread over the entire platform. The left and right ends were the darkness outside the platform. The top end of the wall was integrated into the same thick darkness. Even if someone had a way to climb over it, they would not dare to pass through that darkness.
Who knows what is in there?
Moreover, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that there is a faint smell of blood in the air around me.
"The passage of the maze is a bit narrow, come closer." You Xi said, and the four of them walked forward in a formation of one, one, and two.
You Xi was in front, You Zhenzhen was in the middle, Tang Yatong and Lin Wu walked behind her. This formation seemed to protect You Zhenzhen completely.
But in fact, in addition to taking care of her, this formation was also for her to open the shield and cover everyone else accurately.
Earlier, she heard that they decided to choose the less difficult White Bird Lake, and thought that they took into account her ability and wanted to take care of her, so she told them not to worry too much, because her bound weapon was only temporarily exhausted.
"My bound weapon is a little special. Although it is currently of a low level and has no offensive capabilities, its defensive capabilities are very strong. Because it can be recharged, it does not need to be recharged by a defense card. As long as it is charged for two hours, it can last for most of the station... Before, it was because I couldn't find a place to charge in the Cretaceous Period, and I didn't have time to buy a power bank and a generator, so I was so desperate on the platform."
"Your bound weapon can increase the defense value by charging?" Even Tang Yatong, who has experienced many battles and is only one SS-level mission away from the opportunity to enter the inner tower world, finds it incredible.
Every tasker has a bound weapon, and they can decide what the bound weapon is.
Some people have enough points and will buy high-level weapons that already have defense points at one time. Of course, it will consume a lot of points, but the advantage is that they don't need to spend time to upgrade.
Some people don't have enough points at first, so they tie ordinary weapons. Later, because they are used to using them and don't want to change them, they want to make their weapons stronger, so they upgrade their weapons little by little. The advantage of this is that it will take a long time, and the weapons can improve together with themselves.
At the same time, when the weapon is upgraded to a certain level, the shield function can also be turned on.
This function can be used as a second life from a certain perspective, so working hard to upgrade weapons, or saving points to directly purchase high-level weapons, has always been the primary goal of the tasker. But there are
only so many points for missions. If you want to expand the space, buy cards, and improve your physical fitness, the points are never enough. Many people who upgrade weapons need to accumulate about ten worlds before they can upgrade their weapons to the point where they can turn on the shield.
But this is just the beginning. The shield will be consumed and defense cards need to be replenished continuously.
Defense cards also need points to buy. For example, Lin Wu only brought two defense cards into the endless train world this time because of the item slot limit. One defense card has 500 points, which was used up in the previous wasteland.
The other card was bought with a lot of points. It has 2000 defense points. It is also the one he is using with his bound weapon. It can last for a longer time. But no matter how long it lasts, once the 2000 points are used up, his weapon will lose its shield function.
The same is true for Tang Yatong. Although she has more defense cards than Lin Wu, once they are used up, she will not be able to activate the shield.
But now someone actually said that his bound weapon can be charged to replenish defense points?
Isn't this the same as the Arabian Nights!
"Well, Aunt Mian Mian helped me choose the weapon. She said that although the attack is a little weak in the early stage, the shield can be turned on as long as it is charged, and the standby time is long. For me, it will be more useful than weapons like looting."
You Zhenzhen said, taking out a silver-pink metal stick, which looks like a thin flashlight, but also like a thicker baton.
She told them that this is a stun stick, but it was obtained by Leng Mian after doing a special mission during the SS-level mission. That is a high-tech interstellar world, so this stun stick also incorporates the technology of that world.
In the early stage, it focuses on strong defense and releases small currents. After upgrading in the later stage, it can release large lightning and lightning nets, and the attack power is instantaneous.
However, because points must be used to upgrade weapons, points cannot be transferred like props and cards. She must complete the task herself to earn points before upgrading, so the current level is still relatively low.
In this regard, not to mention You Xi, even Tang Yatong feels convinced.
It takes a lot of love to take care of and pamper the daughter of You Xi's mission world as her own daughter!
"Will your aunt Mianmian come to this world?" You Xi asked.
You Zhenzhen thought about it and shook her head to indicate that she only found two memory fragments, and she didn't know how to enter this world and some other things.
You Xi didn't ask any more questions. She already had her own guess in her heart. Now this team has four people, but she always feels that there will be other partners in this world.
And Xing Min. The panic she felt when she first entered this world because she lost contact with him had long since dissipated because of the company of other companions.
Thinking of him now, all she had left in her heart was worry.
It didn't matter whether she could get in touch with him or enter this world. She hoped that after she completed the endless train world escape, she would hear that he was safe.
**
The four-person team trotted forward, and after turning a few corners, the other passengers behind them could no longer be seen.
The tall plant wall was filled with a sense of oppression and an uncomfortable gloomy atmosphere, and the passages and corners ahead seemed endless.
According to the size of the platform in the past, they had been running for five or six minutes and should have run out of the platform long ago, but now there was no sign of the exit.
"The maze is a puzzle-solving type, but this station should be a physical station. I always feel that it is somewhat contradictory." Tang Yatong frowned and looked around. The plant walls in the maze are all the same, tall, thick, and lush. They look like a flat wall made of closely arranged trees that have been trimmed.
Lin Wu nodded: "Indeed, if it is a physical station, the maze should not be so calm."
As soon as the words fell, the screams of passengers from other directions of the maze were heard.
The man was attacked by something, and his screams were hoarse and out of tune. At the same time, there was also the sound of a robbery. The screams were suddenly mixed with a sad cry, which made people's scalps numb.
After five or six seconds, the two sounds gradually weakened and then disappeared.
"There is something in here." You Xi clenched the Tang sword in his hand and reminded, "Everyone, pay attention. Whether you are jogging or walking, pay attention to the distance between each other and don't be too far away."
"I'd better turn on the shield first." Ever since You Zhenzhen heard that You Xi not only had two generators but also stored a large amount of gasoline, she has never worried again.
It doesn't matter if her combat power is low, she can hide, and even keep the shield on for 24 hours without interruption, from beginning to end.
You Zhenzhen took out the silver-pink electric baton from the space, hid it in her sleeve and held it tightly. In an instant, the translucent arc shield surrounded the other three.
At this time, the passage in front of them came to an end again, and there were two identical passages in front of them, just like the many turns in front of them, with no difference.
Youxi felt a little strange in her heart. She took out a bottle of coffee from the space, opened it and poured the coffee in the middle of the two passages, and then randomly chose a direction: "Go."
Everyone else understood her action. She was making a mark, probably because she realized something.
Another five or six minutes later, during these few minutes, several screams came from other directions of the maze one after another. Each scream was accompanied by the sound of attack and crying, but strangely, they did not see any injured or dead passengers along the way.
Those passengers who had screamed seemed to have disappeared.
After they turned the fourth fork in the road
, You Xi's pace gradually slowed down.
At this time, without her reminder, Lin Wu and Tang Yatong also smelled the scent of coffee.
The fifth fork in the road appeared ahead. There was nothing unusual in the middle of the fork, but the aroma of coffee remained in the air.
You Xi had a keen sense of smell. After choosing the passage from the intersection where the coffee was poured and walking forward, she found that as they walked, the smell of the coffee changed from strong to weak, and then from weak to strong.
The coffee bottle she left here was gone, but the object could be gone, but the smell was not so easy to disappear.
In short, they turned around and returned to the fork in the road where she poured the coffee.
"Is it a ghost wall?" You Zhenzhen thought of this at the first time.
"Not really, because the flavor of coffee changes in strength. It's not some unreasonable reason that sent us back here, but we walked back here by ourselves."
Lin Wu looked around: "So, the problem is with this maze?"
Tang Yatong checked the countdown: "There are still 7 minutes and 24 seconds."
"Will we be able to get out in time?" You Zhenzhen was a little worried.
You Xi pressed her head: "Don't worry, I'm here."
"Yeah, Mom is the best!"
Lin Wu: ...
Tang Yatong: ...
Both of them looked a little speechless, even more speechless than the resentful cry they just heard. I don't know how You Zhenzhen coquettishly called "Mom" to You Xi's twenty-something face.
Well, this is probably the nature of mother and daughter...
The two friends were scratching their goosebumps in the back, but You Xi was trying hard to hold back her laughter.
She touched her head again, her expression slightly stiff, turned around and took a step forward, drew out her Tang sword, and chopped directly at the plant wall in front of her.
In an instant, they heard again the resentful cries that came from the others when they were attacked just now.
The plant wall in front of them made a creepy cry that pierced their eardrums, and then, a bright red liquid flowed down from the dark green plant wall. It smelled of blood.
Along with the blood, there was also an empty coffee bottle, which fell out of the middle of the "plant wall" cut by Youxi and rolled to the ground with a snap.
These plant walls are alive! ?
No!
Based on past experience, this is probably not a plant wall at all. Those trees with branches and leaves that were trimmed into walls - they are probably all human beings!
Soon, countless sharp branches emerged from the crying plant wall. Those branches were as flexible as arms and as fast as arrows, poking at them, as if to string them all together into hedgehogs. The surrounding area was small and there was nowhere to hide.
But fortunately, all the branches were blocked by You Zhenzhen's shield. You Zhenzhen grabbed You Xi and reminded her to step back a few steps and not step out of the range of the shield. Then she pressed the button of the electric baton, and a layer of electric current appeared outside the shield.
Those branches that had been poking at the shield were shocked and then moved away.
"It seems that this is not a plant maze at all, but a human wall maze," Tang Yatong chuckled. She knew that the platforms of these stations would never stop without doing something malicious. "It seems that the other passengers who were attacked before were dragged into the 'plant wall' by these branches."
Lin Wu looked at the time again: "There are still 6 minutes and 36 seconds. What are you going to do now?"
You Xi looked at the branches that were still testing outside the shield. The Tang sword in her hand disappeared and was replaced by a familiar pink crystal bottle: "Now - of course, in my own way."
She adjusted the flame to the third gear, ignored the branch passages on both sides, and sprayed flames at the bleeding "plant wall" in front of her.
The dark green space was suddenly illuminated by the scorching flames, and the "plant wall" let out a sharp and piercing howl, with voices from men and women, young and old, like the cry of a demon.
The branches of the "plant wall" danced wildly, and the surrounding "walls" pressed towards them.
"These walls really move!" You Zhenzhen activated the current layer outside the shield again. The current added by this shield
actually consumes a lot of power. She was reluctant to use it before, but now she can use it as she wants.
The pressing "plant walls" were charred black by the electricity, and retreated like the branches.
At this time, You Xi had burned a big hole in the "plant wall" in front of him.
She raised the [High Temperature Perfume] to temporarily stop the flames, and slowly said: "Either you move away, then I will burn you all, and we can still get out, your choice!"
She just wanted to try to see if these "plant walls" could understand, after all, they have pain, and they will continue to move silently, trapping the people inside.
She only waited for a few seconds, and then pressed the [High Temperature Perfume] again. The high temperature flame burned, and there was a ghost howling around again.
After a while, the "plant wall" on their left finally moved, opening a passage in the middle. The green walls opened one after another like a broken door. At the end of the road, there was a yellow light from the arrival hall.
Tang Yatong laughed: "Bully the weak and fear the strong."
You Zhenzhen screamed twice: "Mom is the best! Mom is the most handsome!"
Lin Wu: ...
You Xi raised the high-temperature perfume and said to the three people behind him: "Let's go."

The air was clear and the sky was pure.
They saw beautiful water birds flying over the quiet and huge lake in front of them and flying towards the mountains in front.
The lake water was clear, and the lake surface was like a mirror, reflecting the lush mountains in front of them and the white snow on the top of the mountain.
The temperature around was about 11 or 12 degrees Celsius. The lake was covered with vegetation on both sides, and they were facing the snow-capped mountains across the lake.
Behind them was a busy leisure area, and a large scenic map stood nearby.
Youxi's phone vibrated, and the message was updated.

From the scenic area map on the side, we can see that this time the station is a large ecological park.
The park has lake areas, forest areas, grassland areas, and cable car areas. In addition, there is a famous ski resort and a large ski hotel on the top of the mountain.
There are also accommodation areas of different styles on the mountainside, lakeside, and grassland.
It is still unknown what the crisis and trouble of this site are, but their team has a lot of people and supplies. At present, it seems that the only trouble is that the four people's unlimited currency is closed.
They will stay here for 55 days. They can't camp in the wild for a month and a half, right?
