Chapter 638 Cause of Death
"This is not right. If Huangquan City is really silent, then why can we hear each other's voices? Could it be that it is not that sound is prohibited from spreading, but that sound can only spread within a certain range?" Liuyun thought for a while and said.
"It seems that this is very likely. That is to say, we must go over there to communicate with those people." Zhou Wen said, looking at the people on the street.
"This is fatal. The nearest person to us is one hundred and sixty-three stone slabs away. Even if the sound can be transmitted within a certain range, we don't have to go to him. We still have to walk at least more than a hundred steps." Liuyun looked at the stone slabs on the long street and counted them.
"Let's try a little. Even if we stand here still, the third iron rule might still cost us our lives," Zhou Wen said.
"What bullshit iron laws! If the iron laws were really effective, wouldn't we all be dead? Killing someone means death, and not killing someone means death too. I think there must be something wrong with those three iron laws." Liuyun said.
"Those who kill must be put to death. If I don't kill anyone in a day, I can only commit suicide. Is there any method that can meet these two conditions at the same time without dying?" Zhou Wen frowned and thought.
Liuyun looked at Zhou Wen and said, "I've thought of a way. If I push you out now and your number returns to zero, then you might die because of me. It can be said that I killed you, but you weren't killed by me personally. Does this count as meeting both conditions at the same time?"
"That's one way." Zhou Wen nodded slightly.
Liu Yun shook his head and said, "This method is completely useless. Even if I kill you, you will only live one more day. The effort is not proportional to the benefit."
"We have limited knowledge about Huangquan City now, so let's go over and ask the people ahead. Maybe we can get some useful information." Zhou Wen said as he walked forward.
"Don't go yet. Let's think of a solution. Maybe we can come up with some ways to solve the problem. For example, you can carry me on your back, and that may only require one person's steps." Liuyun shouted.
"If I carry you on my back, won't your legs leave the ground?" Zhou Wen said.
"I'm just giving an example. Maybe there are other ways." Liuyun said.
"Then take your time to think about it, and tell me when you've made up your mind." Zhou Wen walked forward tentatively.
On the same stone slab, no matter how you move it back and forth, the number will not change, but as long as you move it to the stone slab next to it, the number will change.
If you cross two slabs in one step, the number will be reduced by two.
"You've already left, what's the point of me telling you?" Liuyun gritted his teeth and could only follow.
The two people watched the numbers on the stone slab continue to decrease, and they were very nervous. No one knew what would happen after the number returned to zero.
Zhou Wen walked while looking at his phone. Huangquan City was still downloading and had not yet completed.
Because he didn't know when the mobile game would be downloaded, if it couldn't be downloaded in a day, and Zhou Wen did nothing, he would probably be waiting to die.
So Zhou Wen decided to do something to the best of his ability. If his cell phone didn’t work, he still had a chance of surviving.
After walking about seven or eight stone slabs, Zhou Wen suddenly felt something was wrong the moment he stepped onto the grid, as if something was different.
This time, the stone slab displayed not only numbers, but also four words.
Cause of death: stabbing.
Zhou Wen stood still, his body tense, ready to unleash his strength at any moment.
Liuyun also sensed something was wrong and stopped four stone slabs away from Zhou Wen. He looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "What happened?"
Before Zhou Wen could answer, he heard a bang. Not far in front of Zhou Wen, a warrior covered in armor appeared, holding a knife in his hand.
After appearing, he slashed at Zhou Wen without saying a word. The black blade energy instantly arrived in front of Zhou Wen, as fast as a phantom.
"Dang!" Zhou Wen drew out his bamboo sword and fought with the black-armored warrior.
The black-armored warrior was much weaker than Zhou Wen's, and was knocked back, but he was not injured. It can be seen that he is an epic dimensional creature, not a human being.
Zhou Wen couldn't move, but the black-armored warrior had no such restrictions. He moved quickly and slashed from all directions, trying to kill Zhou Wen with his sword.
Zhou Wen swung his sword to fight, but could only stand where he was.
Zhou Wen had always focused on practicing physical skills, but now he couldn't move, which made him a little uncomfortable. However, his realm, reaction, consciousness and skills were still there, so it was not difficult for him to block the attack of the black-armored warrior.
Liuyun was too close to Zhou Wen and was affected by the black-armored warrior. The black-armored warrior even attacked him, so Liuyun had to take two steps back to avoid being affected by the battle.
But as he retreated, the numbers also decreased, which made him very depressed.
"It's clearly a stone slab that I've already walked on, but I have to subtract the number when I go back. It's so abominable." Liuyun cursed in his heart.
However, seeing Zhou Wen being constantly surrounded and attacked by the black-armored warriors, he gloated and joked: "Junior brother, your swordsmanship is quite good. If you could move, ten black-armored warriors would not be enough for you to kill. What a pity."
"Even if I can't move, it's not difficult to kill him. But if I kill him, what will happen next is unpredictable." Zhou Wen said.
Liuyun nodded upon hearing this and said, "This black-armored warrior should be considered a top-tier existence in the epic level. His body movements and swordsmanship are very impressive. His strength is slightly inferior, but it is still first-rate. This time it is an epic level. If the next one is a mythical level, we will be dead now because we can't use our companion pets and can't move freely."
"That's not what I mean. I'm wondering if this black-armored warrior can be considered a human being? If I kill him, would that be considered violating the first iron rule?" Zhou Wen said again.
After hearing this, Liuyun's expression turned serious. "If he can be considered a human, then we really have no chance of survival. If we kill him, we will die. If we don't kill him, he will be constantly attacked, and when his strength is exhausted, he will die as well."
After pondering for a moment, Liuyun continued, "I think, nine times out of ten, he doesn't fall into the category of people who fall under the Iron Rule. Otherwise, we would have no chance of survival."
"I think Huangquan City has no intention of giving us a chance to live." Zhou Wen said coldly.
Zhou Wen's mind raced. The black-armored warrior had to be killed. He couldn't keep fighting him like this. But he couldn't just kill him casually either. He had to be prepared.
The black-armored warrior appeared behind Zhou Wen like a ghost, and was very close to him. Zhou Wen turned around suddenly, and the bamboo sword slashed out like a phantom.
Before the black-armored warrior's sword fell, his sword had already cut the black-armored warrior in half.
