Chapter 48 Dream Amusement Park (30)
There was a strange silence in the voice channel.
Zhao Shuo: “…”
Cang Zhi: “…”
Su Yue: "..."
After a while, Su Chen cleared his throat weakly and brought the topic back on track: "Two more NPC cars have entered the secret room chase area. Be careful ahead."
This sentence finally brought the voice back to life, and Zhao Shuo answered loudly: "Okay!"
In fact, Su Yue can also play racing like Cang Zhi. It is not a difficult thing. He is not a timid person. Last time in the mountain village copy, he basically did not follow the rules at all.
But now Cang Zhi is already in front protecting Zhao Shuo. A team does not need two fierce attackers, and Su Yue's position is actually very important. He has to observe the situation behind, otherwise if something happens, it will be too late to react.
Behind Su Yue and Seeker, there were two NPC cars. They were the kind of NPCs that were not very good at driving. Su Yue just ignored them and had one of his own cars rush out of the runway just now.
Su Yue watched the small red circle representing the car disappear, meaning it was eliminated.
Zhao Shuo was still reporting the situation on the escape room chase track in real time. He was at the front, far ahead. Moreover, he was a master of racing games. Although he often stepped into uncontrolled areas, he was still able to quickly pull the car back on track. It seemed that he did not encounter any difficulties.
But Cang Zhi and Su Chen behind didn't seem to be having such a good time. Su Chen's shouts kept coming from the voice channel. She sounded a little panicked, but there shouldn't be any big problems with the operation.
Su Yue even heard Cang Zhi say, "Slow down and block his position. I will place a mine to blow him up."
Su Chen replied: "Okay."
Then, through the window glass, a muffled explosion was heard on the car channel.
Soon, Zhao Shuo yelled, "Fuck! There's a conveyor belt up ahead! Don't get on it!"
"Huh?" Su Chen asked in surprise, "Why did you suddenly run behind me?"
"..." Zhao Shuo shouted depressedly: "That's why you must not go up there!"
After a while, I heard Cang Zhi say, "Left."
Zhao Shuo muttered, "Damn it! I'm going to join the war. Where's my stone?"
.
Su Yue listened to them shouting inside and finally understood the meaning of the word "chase" in the secret room chase race. In this track, you can't get ahead just by having good driving skills. The terrain can lead to mistakes, and there will also be attacks between the players.
However, in the part introducing the track, the racing girl also said, "In the secret room chase, be careful not to fall behind last", which means that after everyone enters the secret room chase track, other situations may occur.
Su Yue finally passed the Z-shaped turn area and entered the tunnel track.
Although there were falling rocks from the mountaintop in the tunnel area, Su Yue decided to stay here for a while because he had just fought with the Seeker and had used up all his props, so he had to pick up some.
There are basically no props left on the track that the car in front has run through, at least those on the obvious routes have been cleared out, but on the edge of the track that is not easy to run on, you can still see some flashing prop icons.
Su Yue turned around and picked up a nitrogen booster, two medical kits and two banana peels. He hesitated for a moment whether to pick up stones and throw them at the seeker or throw banana peels, and then chose the banana peels without hesitation.
When using stones, you have to aim, and he may not hit it. But if you throw banana peels, the seeker will definitely not be able to dodge them.
While picking up props, Su Yue was hit by a falling rock on the car body and had to use a medical kit to repair the car.
There was no medical kit on the map, so he picked up another banana peel. He felt that three banana peels were enough to prevent the seeker from opening the secret room in his lifetime.
After the seeker discovered Su Yue's intention, he immediately went to search for props. The two of them looted all the remaining props in the tunnel. Because they were taking a detour to look for props, the two NPC cars behind them also caught up.
Soon Su Yue saw the exit of the tunnel track in front of him.
It was a dark hole, or rather, more like a "door".
The shape of the door is irregular, and there are colorful lights flowing around the edges, making it look like some kind of strange digital medium, such as a conveyor belt in a game. There is a sign on the upper edge of the door with five large characters "Secret Room Chase" written on it.
Su Yue pushed the joystick to the bottom, and the car roared and accelerated, passing through the door.
.
The moment he passed through the door, Su Yue felt as if he had crossed a glacier, a chill that penetrated his heart. On this side of the door was a rugged mountain track, but on the other side, his vision suddenly became pitch black. It was pitch black, the kind that made him unable to see anything.
The next second, something like starlight began to light up little by little in the darkness.
The track where the cars were running was lit up with blue-green arrows that jumped like streams of light, and the background music in my ears changed from a thrilling melody to a casual one, as if it was a whisper dancing in the starry sky.
The track here is marked with blue-green flowing lights and is quite spacious. You can even see other contestants' cars running on the track far away, and vaguely make out the shapes of the reflective markers on the cars.
But outside the runway was a void of chaotic black, without any background, and even light could not penetrate, as if the entire escape room chase track was suspended in outer space.
"I've entered the chamber chase track." Su Yue told his teammates, "I haven't noticed anything unusual so far."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two NPC cars behind him drove into the secret room track one after another. Just as the last car entered the track, Su Yue heard a loud noise from behind that shook the mountain and the earth.
At the same time, the background music, which was like a murmur, suddenly turned into a high-pitched and terrifying melody, as if a car was speeding towards them with a sharp whistle blaring.
Su Yue turned around and his pupils suddenly contracted!
At the end of the track, the door they had just driven in through was gone, replaced by a huge, red, strange face staring at them.
.
The face was more than three meters tall, just a face, with its chin standing on the track. Its eyes were wide open and it looked weird, but the most eye-catching thing on the whole face was definitely the bloody mouth.
It is difficult to describe how big that mouth is, as it almost occupies most of the face. When it opens, the upper and lower teeth flash sharply with a fierce white light, and you can see crystal saliva hanging on them.
His mouth opened and closed rapidly, each time making a terrifying "click" sound.
The strange face moved quickly along the track, its speed was definitely faster than the maximum speed that any car could reach. In the blink of an eye, it had rushed to the front of the NPC car that was at the back.
Then, with a "click", the monster face's huge mouth opened and closed, and the last racing car, along with the NPC, was swallowed into the monster face's mouth!
After swallowing the last racing car, the strange face stopped moving forward. It seemed to be suddenly frozen on the track, and the high-pitched and rapid background sound also quieted down at the same time.
The terrifying huge mouth finally closed, and the wide-open angry eyes also closed. Looking back at this time, it was almost impossible to see the face in the darkness, but everyone knew it was there.
Because although the background sound returned to the light melody like whispering just now, everyone could clearly hear the sound of steel and flesh being chewed into pieces between the melodies.
In the darkness, a scroll-like screen spread out on the ground. No matter where you are on the runway, you can clearly see the screen unfolding in the empty black in the middle of the runway, as well as the numbers flashing on it.
00:59
00:58
…
After the last surviving racer enters the secret room track, the strange face sleeping on the track will wake up. It will chase the cars on the track until it catches the last one, swallows the car and the driver together, and then falls asleep again.
But looking at the countdown board, the monster face's second sleep will only last for 1 minute. After 1 minute, it will wake up again and continue to devour the last player in the team.
The last one to fall behind will die.
This is what "The Chase" really means.
