Paradise Escape (I)
When I opened my eyes, I saw a noisy world full of people.
There is a huge open square with a dinosaur sculpture fountain in the middle. Staff members in doll costumes are carrying bunches of children's balloons to interact with the children. A mobile cartoon ice cream truck is selling its ice cream everywhere amid the sharp and piercing music, and soon it is surrounded by a circle of greedy teenagers.
The square is surrounded by authentic theme park-style buildings, restaurants dressed up as giant hamburgers, candy-colored pointed-roof castle-related shops, colorful cotton candy vendors, and a beautiful arched flower corridor.
Xu Wei stepped on solid ground, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around carefully.
After initially judging that there was no danger at the moment, he turned around to look for his teammates.
Lu Fanye stood beside her, wearing a blue summer suit, a T-shirt and boxer shorts. The clothes had the words "Paradise Visitor" printed in large letters, and there was a long blank space on the chest, as if something was glued to it.
He had a black waist bag slung across his left side, blue sneakers, and a colorful notebook in his hand.
Xu Wei was dressed the same as him except that he had nothing in his hands.
Glancing around again, they saw people dressed the same as them mixed in the crowd, looking around vigilantly, which was completely different from the relaxed and happy atmosphere of the nearby tourists.
The one in blue is the player, and the others are NPCs?
Xu Wei rummaged in his waist bag and found an exquisite card map. On the front was the entire park's routes, amusement facilities and some theme restaurants marked.
Near the intersecting routes and facility sections, there are some dim little red dots randomly arranged. They seem inconspicuous at first glance, but their presence becomes strong after looking at them for a long time, like densely packed moles on a fair face.
There is a line of words at the bottom:
Park facility opening hours: 9:00-12:00, 14:00-0:00.
On the back is a recommendation of the project, printed in large fluorescent gold font: Five projects you must try! (There are surprise rewards for playing!)
Coin Grass Children's Park (popular science, all ages)
Dinosaur Siege (thrilling, all ages)
The Secret of the Black Forest (Appreciation, Adventure)
Falling into the Stars (Fantasy, Science)
Dreamer's Castle (fairy tale, children)
The five projects are scattered in different directions of the park and are far apart from each other.
Lu Fanye opened the colored notebook. The first page was blank, and the second page was printed in standard boldface, with the words "Task List" written on it. All the pages after that were blank.
In his waist pocket, besides the map, there was also a 100-yuan bill.
"No way, are you going to make money again?" Xu Wei looked at this thing called Paradise Coin and closed his eyes in pain.
I recalled the painful experience of moving corpses from the swimming pool.
Lu Fanye looked through his map and found new information on it.
“I think I’m the team leader?”
Xu Wei: "What team leader?"
Lu Fanye read from it: "To prevent people from getting lost, this park implements a group system. The number of members in each group is not fixed, and it is based on the situation when entering the park. The coins and task lists are handed over to the team leader for safekeeping. In addition, regardless of the number of people, the initial capital of each group is 100 yuan. Please use it carefully."
"Ah? Wouldn't it be more disadvantageous if we had more people?" Xu Wei scratched his head, not understanding. "They're all 100 yuan each, and if we have too many people, we can't afford to spend it."
Lu Fanye: "Maybe you don't want us to stick together?"
A long and distant bell rang.
Xu Wei looked up.
Through the star decorations woven with clusters of thin ropes above the head, in the distance is the towering dark yellow roller coaster track and the bungee jumping machine that is slowly rising to the top. The five-pointed star-shaped Ferris wheel that reaches into the sky is directly inserted in the center of the island in the middle of the lake, and the gear-shaped pointer in the middle is slowly rotating.
That's where the bell sound came from.
The bell rang six more times, and the sky suddenly darkened. Then, countless colorful pieces of paper appeared out of thin air and fell lightly. Some were lifted up by the wind and blew to the top of the building.
Lu Fanye held the notebook in his hand: "There are words on the first page."
Xu Wei leaned over to take a look.
Park Rules
Welcome to the Wuqiqi Paradise. Please abide by the rules of the paradise while playing, do not litter, and keep the park clean.
1. Visitors must complete the task list every day and enter the next park before midnight.
2. The mission can be abandoned. To refresh the mission, you need to pay a processing fee of 10 yuan and repeat the challenge mission of this park.
3. The park will drop nameplates every 3 hours, and all players must carry at least one nameplate within 5 minutes.
4. Before the expiration of the nameplate, the holder is not allowed to remove it without permission. The park staff will supervise and report on the situation of the tourists, and violators will be fined depending on the circumstances.
5. It is forbidden to beat up the park NPCs. Violators will have the communication room closed for 6 hours.
The bracelet vibrates to update the task message.
[Players are requested to enter the final park within five days and participate in the closing performance. ]
After reading the message, Xu Wei picked up a piece of blue card with the following words written on it:
Sad Frog
Effect: You cannot be happy, you are a sad frog depressed to the bottom of a well, and being happy is a sin.
Duration: One hour.
Just as he was about to put it down and pick up another one, Lu Fanye reminded him: "Five minutes are almost up."
She had no choice but to give up the choice and twisted the piece of paper that did not seem dangerous for the time being.
Lu Fanye also picked up one, took a look at it, and tentatively put it on the blank space on his chest.
The cardboard flashed and was pasted on tightly.
Lu Fanye was stunned.
He was originally standing with his legs apart, but suddenly he brought his legs together, folded his hands in front of his abdomen, and his expression became serious.
"What's wrong?" Xu Wei noticed that he looked a little strange.
A trace of struggle flashed across Lu Fanye's face.
She looked at the nameplate on his chest and read it word by word: "Dignified and virtuous woman"
Then she looked up at him quickly and lowered her head.
“I’m sorry…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”
Lu Fanye sighed and stood straight.
No disguise, that's a good thing.
Xu Wei was still smiling, but he didn't notice that the note in his hand flashed, and appeared on the blank space in front of his chest the next second.
"Hahaha...well, why do I suddenly feel so uncomfortable?" Xu Wei's laughter stopped abruptly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned downwards, and his eyebrows drooped, forming the word "囧".
"I'm so sad, I want to go home..." Tears were gathering in his eyes.
The sad frog worked, it's really sad.
Xu Wei opened her eyes wide with tears in her eyes and looked at the refreshed task list.
Task List
1. Team Challenge Mission: Happy Pirate Ship (all ages, adventure)
Xu Wei choked up and said, "If we play this game, the time doesn't seem to be very tight. The settlement will be made at midnight."
But just in case, it still needs to be done as soon as possible.
The two walked towards the pirate ship on the map.
The park on the map is a large circle with smaller circles inside. There are five of them in total, cutting into each other to form a ring.
"It's the first, second and third ring roads. We are now in the outermost ring road, where there are many small amusement facilities." Xu Wei wiped away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.
"I'm so annoyed by this kind of sadness without any reason..."
Lu Fanye didn't answer him. He kept his head held high, his posture elegant like a proud white swan.
The pirate ship is close at hand.
The ship looked like it had been fished out of the sea, rotten and dilapidated, with a tan painted surface and covered in green mosses and shells. The ship's observation deck was half collapsed, with debris and wood scattered on the seats on the deck, the sail was a piece of cloth clinging to the mast, and suspicious bloodstains were scattered at the stern.
Lu Tiane looked at the amusement facility in front of him critically: "It has safety bars, so it's OK."
Xu Wei wanted to laugh, but was also very sad. The two emotions mixed together, and his face looked as if he was possessed by another spirit.
A group of passengers had already boarded the ship and were choosing their seats. The old man at the ticket office stretched out his hand to ask them for money.
"Ten dollars per person."
Xu Wei's eyes were filled with tears: "Let's just watch first, not play."
The old man glanced at her with disdain and spat: "If you don't want to play, get out of here!"
He turned back to the ticket office window and tapped the start button inside.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The pirate ship shook and began to sway slightly.
In a few breaths, the height of the ship was lifted high, leaped up, swung to the top in an instant, and then quickly fell back down.
"Ah!!" The tourists on the boat screamed loudly, and one person's shoes were thrown out.
Although the pirate ship swings greatly and almost flips over at the highest point, which is extremely thrilling, it does fall into the category of general amusement facilities in an amusement park.
Can the copy be so kind?
Just as I was wondering, the deck collapsed.
The people in the middle slid directly through the safety bar. Those who flew out and fell freely were lucky, but they fell to the ground with a "smack" and were bloody. The few who were clinging to the edge of the deck were carried away by the stern and smashed horizontally on the supporting pillars, their bodies were smashed to pieces, and their internal organs were scattered far away like bowling balls.
Xu Wei's tears flowed down her cheeks and could not be wiped away: "Someone died. I am so sad. I will die there soon too."
Lu Fanye sneered: "Keep your manners."
After saying this, his face turned dark.
“Hahaha… woooooo, hahaha… woooo…”
Xu Wei fought against the sad frog, changing his expression ten times in one minute.
After shaking for a few times, the pirate ship made a "click" sound, and the top observation deck bent 90 degrees and drooped down.
After a few sounds of mechanical rollers, a giant hammer three times larger than a human stretched out.
The boat moved, and the hammer head came straight towards the tourists' heads, like a bulldozer flattening the ground, instantly harvesting everyone's heads.
A group of people were left with only their necks and bodies stuck on the seats on the deck, with blood spurting out.
Xu Wei took a breath of cold air.
No wonder they gave one day. I would have to spend half a day preparing myself mentally before I could go up.
The bodies went limp and could no longer be held by the safety bar. As the pirate ship swung violently, they flew in all directions. One of them even flew not far from the two of them.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Wei walked forward to investigate, and tears burst into tears as soon as he saw the decapitated corpse.
Xu Wei wiped her tears with her hands but she couldn’t keep up with the speed of new tears flowing out. Everything in front of her eyes was blurry: “Wuwuwuwu… I give up, wuwuwuwu, my eyes are blurred and I can’t see clearly…”
"I...I'll do it." Lu Fanye forced himself to stop the words from coming out of his mouth.
He bent down slightly, raised his eyebrows and studied it, his jaw tense: "In addition to the decapitation marks on the body, there are some small bite marks, and the skin in that part is blue."
“It could be poisonous.”
Xu Wei stroked his chin, looking at the workers who were cleaning the deck. They were carrying a large wooden board and hammering it on the big hole.
"Deck collapse, sledgehammers, bugs. This is trouble."
