Minesweeper
The elevator malfunctioned due to the explosion and stopped operating.
The stairwell was covered with broken glass windows that had been blown in from the corridor. The hurried footsteps rolled over the broken glass, and the sound spread from upstairs to downstairs.
The woman from 701 followed the fluorescent green team and ran downstairs.
There were also footsteps running down the stairs, and they raised their weapons.
Crunch——
The fire door on the 5th floor suddenly opened, giving them a fright.
The person who rushed out was wearing a white windbreaker, and the other party was frightened by the group of people and screamed. He rolled and crawled down the stairs and almost fell down.
Lu Miao remembered that someone on the 5th floor was eaten alive by a sick creature, and it might be him. "Let's run quickly, too. Those sick creatures can also leave the residential building."
The footsteps running up the stairs above were getting closer and closer, and they didn't dare to delay.
On the 4th floor, a man wearing a gas mask rushed into the stairwell and the two sides engaged in combat.
"Wait, I know him." The woman from 701 said anxiously.
"Then run together!"
Boom boom boom!
The footsteps approaching them sounded like they were being chased, and there were multiple footsteps. They couldn't help but wonder if all the sick people in the building were attracted by them?
The glass door on the first floor was open, and two or three blurry figures were running in the children's playground outside the door.
Boom——
The sudden explosion brought up a scorching hurricane that blew through the glass door and rushed towards them.
They saw a bright red blood mist and parts of the human body's organs flying in different directions.
They stopped hastily.
"Danger means...explosion..." Yu Xiaowan's voice trembled.
Dong Dong Dong, following the sound of their footsteps, we arrived at the first floor.
"Hey, we've had a great harvest today!" A sarcastic voice came from behind.
The woman and man in 701 were terrified. "It's those guys..."
Lu Miao gets a glimpse of Weekend and Wang Keke.
The three men, in tacit agreement, attacked the five people who ran out of the stairwell. They were wearing dirty white coats and worn-out gas masks.
Lu Miao grabbed the leading guy by the collar and banged his head against the wall.
"Ah—stinky girl!"
When the other party became dizzy, Lu Miao pushed him out of the glass door.
As she expected, the open space outside the glass door was safe, otherwise no one could escape from the residential building.
“Get out first!”
Weekend's attacks were even more ruthless. He killed a sick middle-aged woman and stabbed the attacker to death.
Wang Keke broke the arms of one of them and kicked him out of the residential building.
The remaining sick uncle was subdued by the women and men in Room 701 and pushed out of the glass door.
They captured three prisoners alive.
"Take them with you."
Everyone understood Lu Miao's intention and had no objection.
The ground was littered with cold, gleaming glass fragments, and gray particles of smoke settled on their hair and clothes.
Opposite is the long green belt of Gurira, which surrounds the children's playground and is next to the empty open-air parking lot.
"Go to the green belt."
They had to walk around the children's playground.
The glass door was only a few meters away from the Murraya Fragrant Green Belt. They walked carefully, and the leading Lu Miao pushed the sick guy and let him walk in front.
He Pingan took the opportunity to look around, his pupils constricted. "There are no broken windows in buildings 2 and 4 next to it."
Not a single one.
There were some black marks on the ground, as if something was burnt.
As for the second building diagonally opposite, there were two black human-shaped marks left on the exterior wall of the first floor, exactly the same as those left in the closet of the second bedroom.
The woman at 701 suddenly realized. "The explosion in our residential building shattered all the glass, which means we have successfully escaped the loop. Otherwise, we will remain in the loop until they find a way to escape."
Wang Keke turned around and asked her: "Can you now tell me the rules you have been hiding?"
The woman from 701 laughed. "Sorry, the rules require us to hide it. I think most of the rules we follow are the same, except for the method of escape that requires us to live 20 days before you show up."
"20 days?" Everyone was surprised.
Surviving for 5 days is hard enough, but if she repeats this 4 times and survives for 20 days, Wang Keke will lose if she doesn't collapse mentally!
"This field of ghost stories is quite perverted," she said bluntly.
"It's rare to see such a time-consuming field of ghost stories." He Ping'an frowned.
The man said helplessly: "It may have something to do with the environment here. After all, a great disaster of the century happened."
The black marks left on the ground and the outer walls of residential buildings are the citizens who were burned to ashes at the moment of the explosion. If you are close to the obstacles, there will be black marks left on the obstacles.
"Humph, you can't imagine how desperate we were when the 'sun' appeared." The sick guy who was pushed by Lu Miao said sarcastically. "People in the core circle of the explosion will be wiped out in the moment without time to take shelter. If you can die, don't live, otherwise you will become like us, half-human and half-ghost."
They squeezed into the green belt of Osmanthus fragrans, and all the leaves were covered with gray particles and became hard.
"Are you also living in the 22nd century?" Lu Miao took the opportunity to ask.
The sick guy wanted to say something but stopped, only letting out a muffled groan.
"Was it caused by the war?"
"What else?" He panted.
The team walked forward in solemn silence on the gray and hardened soil.
The slide in the children's playground had long since lost its original color due to gray particles, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of gray.
The bases of the leaves overhead were a withered brown; nearby residential buildings were covered in a gray substance, with their glass windows intact.
In this world, there are only three colors left: black, white and gray.
"We come from another parallel universe." Since the diseased "natives" could not reveal it, Lu Miao took the initiative to tell them.
Hearing this, the three sick guys were silent for a moment.
"I guessed it. You showed up suddenly, knew nothing about the disaster here, and said strange things."
"Has this disaster occurred in your parallel universe?" asked the sick man walking in front.
“Not in this century.”
“That’s great.”
Lu Miao was hesitant to speak.
Okay?
They live on nutritional supplements, and the severely polluted water sources make it difficult for water purifiers to filter it clean. "Health" has become the most luxurious wish.
In a few decades, there may appear diseased monsters who like to eat raw meat and drink blood just like them.
The earth is rotten.
The green belt had come to an end. Two meters away was a pool of splattered blood, but there was no big hole left by the explosion.
Deer seedlings need to undergo an experiment.
She pushed the sick guy out of the green belt and drove him to the blood-stained area.
As a result, no explosion occurred.
Two possibilities.
The first one is that the place that has exploded will not explode again.
The second type, the "natives" will not trigger the explosion, after all, they do not need to abide by the rules of the field of ghost stories.
She prefers the second.
The sick guy took the opportunity to escape and she did not chase him.
The guy ran very far and never triggered the explosion.
The people behind him could see it clearly.
Others walked out of the green belt one after another, but they didn't go far and stayed close to the green belt.
"There is no green belt from here to the South Gate," Weekend said.
Lu Miao looked back at the remaining two sick guys and said in a deep voice, "It won't cycle again, and you won't be resurrected again. You can be free now."
The two were stunned.
Immediately, the sick uncle and aunt let their hands hang down.
The woman and man in 701 couldn't do it.
"To be honest, I really regret seeking refuge there," said the uncle.
In a blink of an eye, Weekend neatly twisted the uncle's neck.
Wang Keke twisted the old lady's neck without saying a word.
This is the quickest way to relief.
He Ping'an took out a can of luncheon meat from his backpack, deviated from the direction of the blood, and rolled forward.
The oval can barely rolled out one meter.
There was no explosion.
Everyone stepped forward cautiously and stopped next to the can of luncheon meat.
Lu Miao took out a bottle of tap water and rolled forward.
Gurgle...
One meter.
Two meters.
Boom——
The exploding air shattered bottles and running water splashed onto their white raincoats or windbreakers.
“The safe distance is three meters?”
"Not necessarily. Keep testing."
They boldly walked forward a little more than a meter and then turned left.
Get out another full water bottle on the weekend and follow the deer fry’s lead and let it roll forward.
Gurgle...
One meter.
Two meters.
Three meters.
Boom——
The bottle blew away.
After the storm subsided, they walked about two meters to the left and huddled together.
Two-thirds of the empty parking lot was still occupied.
After the parking lot, there was a stone brick road with grass planted in the few centimeters of gaps between the bricks. The gaps were too narrow for them to step on the grass to move forward.
However, at the end of the stone brick road is the open south gate.
They looked away, determined to walk through the dangerous parking lot.
Yu Xiaowan picked up a stone in the green belt, and it was her turn to let the stone float on the water while moving to the right front.
As expected, the stone was blown away after only a short parabola.
"Uh, the right side is blocked."
Yu Xiaowan threw another stone to the front left, and the stone was blown away.
Everyone was sweating profusely.
The two explosions were less than a meter away from them, sandwiching them.
About one meter in front of them is a tree pit planted with osmanthus trees, which can provide shade for parked vehicles.
The deer sapling rolled towards the tree pond for the second bottle of water.
There was no explosion.
"Let's stand up first."
The tree pool was like an isolated island surrounded by sharks, protecting the seven people who escaped.
Lu Miao, who was looking for the route, caught a glimpse of a faint red shadow behind Building 1.
He actually walked close to the building. The other party was bold and careful.
But it is best for the two sides not to meet head-on.
The entire open-air parking lot had only a laurel tree next to them that provided shade, and they were still halfway to the cobblestone road.
Lu Miao didn't want to be a scout for the team in the dark, so he asked He Pingan and Yu Xiaowan: "Can you two take shorthand?"
Yu Xiaowan nodded. "I used to be a clerk and cashier at a convenience store. I can take shorthand."
He Pingan: "I am used to seeing codes and can memorize them in shorthand."
The woman in Room 701 looked at the young He Ping'an in surprise.
"Okay, you two will be responsible for memorizing the explosion locations in one direction each. We must rush out of the parking lot within three minutes."
"Three minutes?" The man couldn't believe it.
Lu Miao glanced at him coldly and said: "If you don't want to become a tortured corpse, you must escape from the field of ghost stories as soon as possible."
