Escape from Paradise (VII)
Last night, the protective shield between the first ring and the second ring disappeared after the card rain appeared at six o'clock. Xu Wei was the one who saved Shali in the second ring.
She deduced some of the rules of the escape based on what happened last night:
1. The park enters darkness at 18:00, and staff and tourists disappear.
2. After the card rain falls, the monster distribution will be randomly refreshed. Currently there is only one wave of refresh and no new ones will be added in the area.
3. The red dots on the map have nothing to do with monster refreshes.
4. All facilities and equipment in the dark park can be used.
5. There is only one wave of card rain at night, and its existence time is consistent with the dark period, from 18:00 to 6:00 (it disappears after five minutes during the day).
5. Card effects can be used to kill monsters, with a maximum limit of three cards.
Through these rules, we can also summarize a rough survival plan.
1. Try to complete the task list before 18:00 and find the best position to enter the next round.
2. Food and water can be searched during the dark period.
3. Prioritize clearing monsters near the restaurant.
4. Negative effect cards will follow people when they fall. After the drop ends, try to choose the nameplate in an empty place.
If these can be achieved and the selected nameplate does not shut down, the Dark Ages will not be completely defenseless - but all this is based on the assumption that the rules will not change.
According to the nature of the copy, the difficulty from the second ring to the third ring is estimated to be higher than that from the first ring to the second ring.
However, the most important thing at the moment is to complete the task list refreshed for the new day.
There are mostly large-scale amusement facilities on the Second Ring Road. The bungee jumping, roller coaster, and pendulum that you saw on the First Ring Road are all here. Of course, there are also small equipment similar to pirate ships, which look much less dangerous.
But obviously the copy doesn't want to make life too easy for players.
The two's challenge today is to fly over the Grand Canyon.
From below, you can only see half of the dark yellow track - the climbing and diving track, the 360° spiral bend, and the broken track. The other half is hidden within the three rings, and it is so high up that you can't see what is set up at all.
But it's enough to make people tremble with fear.
Xu Wei waited by the ladder for a long time, but no new people in blue came to work on the project with them.
After last night, there were fewer people wearing blue clothes hiding in the crowd.
It was now 10 o'clock in the morning. They had survived the first wave of card rain and watched the performance of the tourists on the roller coaster five times from a distance. However, it was too far away to see clearly and there were not many bodies left on the returning car, so it was difficult to judge what happened afterwards.
If he sticks his head out, he will be in danger. If he hides his head, he will also be in danger. Xu Wei plans to get through it quickly while he still has the courage.
The roller coaster carriages were all painted black, with a total of twelve sections, each with two to three people. The color of the first three sections was lighter than the ones at the back, and there was nothing unusual about the other sections. To be on the safe side, Xu Wei chose the middle section, the sixth section.
As soon as I sat down, I discovered something not so good.
There were no safety features in the car.
Not only are there no guardrails on both sides, the only handrail is the horizontal bar in front. When people sit on it, their upper body above the waist is exposed in the air, and they can be thrown out at any sharp turn.
Looking at the 360° sharp turn ahead, Xu Wei felt like retreating for the first time.
How about going down and observing further?
She looked at Lu Fanye and asked for his opinion.
"Beauty!"
Someone patted Xu Wei's shoulder fiercely: "Changed into new clothes? Looks good!"
She turned around and saw Li Xia and her friend just walked over and sat in the row behind them.
"This is such a coincidence," he propped up his chin with a smile, "Why don't we all go together later?"
Xu Wei stared at his two intact hands in disbelief.
"Have you healed your hands?"
"Yeah, isn't it amazing?" He looked at Lu Fanye and smiled with his eyes curved, "It was all thanks to you two that day."
Xu Wei thought he was just being polite and ignored him.
The safety gate has been closed and the staff are walking towards the launch room. The last chance of escape has completely disappeared.
Either live or die.
Xu Wei took out two waist bags from his clothes with a worried look on his face, and together with Lu Fanye, they tied their hands to the horizontal bar.
This was obviously the only self-protection measure on the car, and the copy would not be a dead end, so she tended to think that the horizontal bar would be as sturdy as that of a pirate ship, but she was afraid that her guess was wrong, so she could only tie one hand first.
Li Xia watched her do this from behind and admired her: "Beautiful lady, you are so smart, why didn't I think of it?"
His hands were tied with a rope that he found from somewhere.
Find something to talk about.
Xu Wei was already annoyed: "I have a name."
"Okay, okay, Miss Xu Wei."
The bell in the start room rang, the carriage shook as usual, and Xu Wei's heart trembled as well.
She looked at Lu Fanye eagerly. He was completely different from the murderous look he had the night before. Her lips curled up and she looked a little pitiful.
"You know, I'm afraid of heights." I'm afraid I'll be held back for a while.
"Got it." Lu Fanye lowered his eyes and patted her shoulder comfortingly with the hand that was not tied with the bag strap.
"If you can't hold on any longer, call me, or... hold me."
Xu Wei nodded and controlled his gaze so as not to look outside.
The roller coaster was slowly climbing, still a short distance from the highest point. The noise of the park was much quieter, and the tourists on the car seemed to be holding their breath and waiting for the sprint moment. No one was talking, and the cochlea was much quieter.
What she said to Lu Fanye meant that she might not be able to help much if there was any unusual change, but this did not mean that she would rely solely on her teammates to take care of her.
Your life can only be entrusted in your own hands.
Xu Wei slowly raised his head, looked far ahead, and then moved his gaze downward little by little.
You have to get used to this altitude.
Li Xia in the back row was in a very good mood. He was humming a song lazily, shaking his head and wagging his tail, looking more comfortable than a real tourist.
Xu Wei had only prepared himself halfway when the car reached the top of the track.
At a height of more than 100 meters, the park buildings below have become children's building blocks, and the densely packed crowd is like ants moving.
The noisy sounds completely disappeared, and the only sounds that could be heard around me were rapid breathing and an increasingly rapid heartbeat.
The sky is silent.
The next second, the roller coaster, which dropped almost vertically from the highest point, nearly overturned everyone's chassis. The whistling wind tore at their clothes. The passengers in the last row suffered the greatest thrust, and some of them failed to grab the horizontal bar and were thrown out in an instant.
Xu Wei buried his head in Lu Fanye’s arms and gritted his teeth to prevent himself from closing his eyes.
My legs trembled involuntarily.
With one car empty, the roller coaster vibrated excitedly on the track, and every vibration seemed to threaten to derail.
Xu Wei was about to vomit from the shock. He was about to stick his head out to curse, but he found that he was about to reach a big bend, so he shrank back with his lips tightly pursed.
Is it still useful to believe in Buddhism now? Buddha bless you.
He wrapped his arms around the horizontal bar, placed his feet against the corner of the carriage, and stretched his whole body like a shrimp.
The wind broke through the air, violent and fierce, and the screams pierced the eardrums.
Xu Wei's lower body took off from the spot, and he stood upside down in the air and slammed all over the carriage, hitting left and right, swaying forward and backward.
Thank you for the invitation. I was in a big spiral, my hands were shaken out of strength, and my brain was dizzy.
Even kneading dumpling fillings is not this rough.
"Ugh—" A guy in the back row vomited, and the vomit flew onto the face of the person in the back row, causing repeated vomiting and cursing.
Xu Wei was very glad that no one in the front row vomited.
Two more carriages were empty.
The roller coaster was accelerating wildly, the rails creaking and sparks flying.
"Why is it diving faster than before?" Xu Wei stretched his head and was blown back by the wind, almost flying out again.
Li Xia in the back row couldn't close his mouth, his eyes were narrowed into slits, his facial features were stretched into strange shapes and moved in different ways, looking extremely hideous.
No wonder someone is selling windproof glasses below.
Xu Wei forced himself to open his eyes and looked forward.
The track is coming to a halt.
She frowned.
I couldn't see clearly from far away, I just knew that there was a broken track. The first few waves of tourist cars flew over it as usual, but why did it feel like the distance of the break had become longer?
Before he could think clearly, Lu Fanye beside him stood up and swiftly climbed over to the front carriage. The momentum was so strong that he was almost pushed off.
He grabbed the horizontal bar, kicked the tourists off the bus, and reached out to Xu Wei.
Xu Wei didn't dare to delay. Although he hadn't figured it out yet, he knew that he must have a reason for doing so.
I grabbed his hand, made up my mind, and rushed over.
The wind was howling and almost blew people away.
Lu Fanye caught her steadily, put her down by her waist, and went to the next carriage. The tourists in this carriage screamed and clung to the horizontal bar, refusing to get off the train. He did not hesitate, punched them in the vitals, knocked them unconscious and quickly threw them off.
Xu Wei didn't even have time to use his skills.
They reached out, hugged people, turned over carriages, and hit people. After doing this, the two climbed to the fourth carriage, and Li Xia followed closely behind. The tourists in the first three carriages discovered their brutality, but were intimidated by the force and lay on the horizontal bars, not daring to say a word.
The rail break is coming soon.
Lu Fanye stepped into the third quarter first.
Amid the howling wind, the boy's hair fluttered, revealing his smooth forehead and frowning brows. His eyes, which were usually gentle and cold, were now focused and serious. He turned around and held Xu Wei's hand tightly.
His palms were hot and throbbing with adrenaline.
That’s why they say serious men are the most handsome.
Before taking off, Xu Wei had this thought in his mind.
My body suddenly felt lighter.
The roller coaster was vacant.
She flew directly into the air, and everything seemed to be moving in slow motion.
My body has never felt so light. I feel like a rootless dead leaf, shoulder to shoulder with the vast nature. I can even hear the birds singing in the forest.
“Bang!”
The carriages collided with the tracks again, with the first three carriages stuck on the broken tracks and the remaining carriages hanging in the air and shaking.
Xu Wei fell down with her eyes closed. She did not hit the hard car body as expected. Lu Fanye acted as a human cushion for her.
She immediately got up and looked back to check the situation. The broken track cliff in the sky made her dizzy for a moment and she almost lost her balance.
The carriage was still moving backwards little by little.
We have to find a way to disconnect the last few sections, otherwise no one will survive.
She turned to observe how the carriages in front were connected.
With tracks in between to block the view from the sky, we can finally concentrate on observation - the carriages are connected by mechanical gears, which makes it convenient to add or remove seats during maintenance, and they can be disconnected with a high probability.
If disjointed is the solution to this level, then there must be a button or snap that controls the mechanical gears.
But the area near the car wall is flat and there are no other devices.
Is it under the car?
Now there are only two of them left. If Lu Fanye falls, she will definitely not be able to pull him up by herself.
She is the only one who can check under the car.
Making the decision in an instant, Xu Wei began to untie the straps of his waist bag.
Although her heart trembled uncontrollably at the thought of being hung from a height of 100 meters, staying alive was the most important thing at the moment.
Afraid of heights or not, go down first.
Lu Fanye had obviously figured it out as well and was also unpacking his wallet.
The straps of the two waist bags were still too short. I didn’t know if they could reach the bottom of the compartment. If even Lu Fanye had to pull her in mid-air to reach them, it would be very dangerous even if they were successfully disconnected.
I don’t know where Li Xia found the rope.
Xu Wei paused.
Li Xia fell so easily?
"Xu Wei..."
At this time, a dying voice came from the bottom of the car: "Put down your bag strap, I can't hold it anymore."
Lu Fanye walked over and threw the laces in his hand down.
"I can't reach..."
Xu Wei handed the waist bag to Lu Fanye and asked him to tie it together. He clung to the carriage and dared not look down. He closed his eyes and asked, "Are you under the car?"
"Yeah, I almost didn't make it in time just now. It was really exciting."
"Is there anything unusual down there?"
