Chapter 64: Prison (5)
=====
The moment they saw the scenery clearly, they retreated back to the previous corridor.
The fight scene between the two zombies and the two bosses is still vivid in my mind. It is already difficult for a boss to fight two ghosts at the same time. Now the room is full of zombies, at least 20 of them. How can he fight them?
"Is there another exit in this building?" a female player asked in a low voice without hope. But no one could give a definite answer to this question. Qin Yi didn't say, so it was probably that there was no other exit. But even if there was, they didn't have any extra unlocking times.
There were too many enemies in front of the door, and forcing through would definitely be a dead end. Yi Han had no idea what to do about this situation, but he was determined to watch Qin Yi's performance at this level, so he was lazy for once, quietly waiting to be led to victory.
Everyone squatted behind the corner with sad faces for a long time before Qin Yi asked, "Is anyone among you good at hiding?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally the female player with the short and fat pet said, "I think I can do it. Is there anything you want me to do?"
"The hallway is impassable now. Maybe we can skip it and find a way to open the door first." Qin Yi said thoughtfully.
After listening to him, everyone seemed to vaguely understand what he meant: although they couldn't get through the hallway, if they opened the door, they could grit their teeth and force their way in and maybe they could have a chance of survival. After all, no matter how many injuries they suffered, as long as they could keep a breath and return to the main god space, they could be completely healed.
It is definitely impossible to expect these zombies to fly out like flies when they see the window open... But since we can't defeat them now, we might as well skip the second to last question and solve the last one directly.
"I understand. I should be able to get close to the gate without alerting the zombies, but... we don't have the key, what should we do?" the female player said in distress.
In this "prison" level, power-type props are useless, path-finding abilities are useless, and lock-picking abilities are naturally useless, and everyone no longer has the opportunity to redeem the "master key".
"The game won't set up a complete dead end. I guess, as long as you touch the door, you can trigger the third random task." Qin Yi said calmly, and it seemed that he was somewhat confident in his guess.
"Okay." The female player nodded and chose to believe him.
She entrusted her pet to other players to take care of, took a deep breath, reached into the inventory and fiddled with something, and suddenly her figure became dazed.
No one saw how she walked, and the next moment she had already turned out of the corridor. Although the others did not follow, they all leaned on the corner, ready to support at any time. Yi Han also held his weapon and leaned against the wall to watch, while paying attention to Qin Yi's expression with his peripheral vision - but the latter still did not show any malice, and it seemed that he came up with this idea purely for the purpose of passing the level.
The female player's footsteps were light, and her toes tapped the ground lightly, without making any sound, and it seemed that she didn't even disturb the dust. She walked dozens of steps like this, and passed through the hall safely, without the zombies making any movement.
[System prompt: Due to entering the designated area, random level 3 is triggered. ]
[Based on the molecular formula of the substances in the three cups of liquid, identify the non-toxic cup and drink it within 3 minutes. After drinking it, no matter what the result is, the door will be opened.]
At the same time when her palm touched the door, all the players received a prompt. The next moment, a piece of metal on the door flipped over with a long "creak", becoming a small platform. Three cups of unknown liquid in transparent glass cups appeared on the platform, with dense molecular formulas attached to the cups.
When the long sound of metal friction was heard, Yi Han's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
"Come back soon!" Several other players also waved at her desperately.
But it was too late. The corpse ghosts in the hall heard the noise, their ears moved slightly, and they stood up one by one in strange postures.
The female player in front of the gate was startled, and quickly picked up three cups of liquid and stuffed them into her inventory, then turned and ran, but at this time the zombies had already surrounded her. The female player's hiding ability was instantly invalidated, and her fighting ability was obviously not strong, and she was not fast, and soon she was surrounded.
"Help--" She stretched out her arms and asked her teammates for help, and her teammates did not let her down. They rushed forward without hesitation. Yi Han's chain was the first to arrive. The end of the chain wrapped around a corpse, and the corpse's momentum paused. The female player hurriedly covered her wound and limped out of the encirclement.
The teammates worked together to cast some props and spells, barely repelling the zombies, but the zombies here seemed to be more tough and thick-skinned than the two in the basement before, and everyone could do almost nothing to them.
Yi Han reached out and grabbed the escaping female player, then turned around and threw her back into the corridor. The other players were fighting and fleeing, and when they saw that the female player was safe, they also retreated in a mess.
The zombies kept chasing after them, and everyone retreated until they reached the last iron gate, slammed it shut, and put a lock that a player had brought with him on it, and only then were the enemies blocked behind the railings.
“Oh my god, that was close…”
"It was so scary, I almost fell to my knees!"
The battle lasted only a few dozen seconds, but everyone was sweating coldly. The corpse ghosts behind the railings stretched out their hands to grab them for a long time, but when they found that they couldn't catch them, they dispersed in dismay after a while.
"Thank you everyone...Thank you, big boss." The female player who was good at hiding her whereabouts said to Yi Han tremblingly.
After she calmed down gradually, she took out the random questions for level 3, which were the three cups of water, from her inventory.
"What should I do... Oh no!" Because I haven't told the system who will do the task, the molecular formula sticker on the cup is covered with a bunch of mosaics. But unfortunately, something happened just now, and the female player took the cup and ran away. During this time, some liquid spilled out and soaked the label... Through the thick mosaic, you can see that many of the letters have been soaked.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... What should I do? I'm finished now." She looked at the cup, at a loss, and was almost crying.
This level is similar to the first single-plank bridge level. Once one person triggers it, the mission will be shared by nearby players, and only one player needs to come forward to complete it.
Yi Han checked the fish head and tofu soup in his inventory that could be used to detoxify. He wanted to take it out and take on the task himself, but Qin Yi suddenly spoke.
"Let me do it. You all ate the buff food twice last time, so it's better to save one chance for backup. I didn't eat it, so I can take the detoxification soup to pass this level."
As he spoke, he also took out a bowl of soup made by Yi Han's shop from his inventory and drank it. Yi Han was in a trance - had his food become so popular among players? It had become everyone's regular snack...?
No, that's not the point. Although this person's words sounded fine and he didn't do anything bad, Yi Han suddenly felt uneasy for some reason. But what good would it do for him to drink poison? He wouldn't do it just to improve his character. Unable to figure it out for a moment, Yi Han could only stare at this person closely to see what he was up to.
Seeing that Qin Yi had already drunk the detoxifying soup, everyone handed the cup to him. Qin Yi did not analyze the molecular formulas carefully, but just picked one at random and drank it.
Everyone stared at him, all a little worried. The fish head tofu soup could only remove half of the poison, and the remaining half would still cause some symptoms if it remained in the body. Everyone saw the man with glasses turn red and his lips turned purple. After a few seconds, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, as if he was enduring some discomfort, but he still said slowly: "I'm fine, we're going out now..."
As a result, he fell down before he could finish his words.
The teammates screamed and rushed forward. Qin Yi was already unconscious, falling into the arms of the black-clad bodyguard.
Yi Han stared at his teammates who were noisily worried about him and tried to comfort him. He lowered his eyes and did not move, but the weapon in his hand gradually tightened.
No, this is not right... Previously, this person had done his best to unlock the door, find teammates, and complete the task without showing any abnormality. But now, he is only one step away from completing the task, but he has confused himself. Why?
Yi Han didn't believe that someone like him would drink poison that would make him lose consciousness without any backup plan. This result was most likely what he wanted.
"Is there anything that he must faint to accomplish?" It seemed that some clues vaguely entered Yi Han's mind, but he could not grasp it for a while.
【Congratulations, random level 3, challenge successful. 】
[The door to this game is open. You can escape by walking out of it. ]
This prompt seemed to indicate that Qin Yi's plan was successful. All they had to do next was save their lives and rush through the pile of zombies to leave the game. But because Qin Yi had just sacrificed himself to open the door, the players' attention was still focused on him.
"The boss couldn't see to begin with, and now he's dizzy, how can he break out?"
"The bodyguard will carry the boss on his back, but that way he won't be able to attack, isn't that more dangerous? Why don't we walk beside them and let them hide in the middle?"
Several players discussed and were about to finalize the plan, but the bodyguard in black didn't listen to them. He just silently carried Qin Yi on his back and stood in front of the iron door locked by the players.
At his signal, the player who locked the door opened it, and then the bodyguard pushed the door open and walked out, quietly walking to the last corner leading to the building's main entrance.
"Be careful..." The other players followed behind, lowering their voices as they approached the group of zombies.
Unexpectedly, just when everyone was ready to protect the unconscious boss, the bodyguard in black suddenly grabbed a female player and pushed her between the enemies.
