Chapter 133133
The strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive. The law of the jungle, which seems cruel to ordinary people, is the basic rule for survival here. From the moment you step onto the cruise ship, life and death become unknown. If you are still alive at the end of the game, you can take away wealth that ordinary people cannot imagine. If you die on the way, your body will be thrown to the captive wild beasts for a feast, or thrown directly into the sea, where the fish and shrimp will eat up all the meat and the bones will sink to the bottom of the sea.
This is obviously not in line with the values of the general public, but so what? This is the path I have chosen. Glory and wealth or nothingness may only be a matter of a thought. And the people who can come here have very complicated identities, including mercenaries, drug lords, fugitives, and gamblers. They come here for money, goods, missions, and territory... It is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
People like Xu Shaohuai who come from the military and come here on national missions are rare. They will never and dare not reveal their true identities, and all external activities are carried out as mercenaries. Of course, it's not just this mission, all other special missions are of this form. Regardless of the glory and sacrifice, they are destined to be known by only a very small number of people, and it will never be possible to become a hero admired and praised by everyone.
"Indeed, the law of the jungle." Xu Shaohuai smiled when he heard it, took a step forward to Jing Ling's side, and reached out to touch the wolf's head. The wolf, which had been struggling, suddenly became quiet. No expression could be seen on its face, but its eyes seemed to reveal despair.
"Give them a great gift. Even the weakest enemy is still an enemy. You never know if he will give you a fatal blow when you are not paying attention."
"good."
As a wolf, what is it like to suddenly understand what bipeds say? Ayi felt that the whole wolf was in trouble. This terrible two-legged beast tricked it into coming and trapped it, and discussed in front of it whether to let it go or kill it! But it’s strange, of the two bipeds that look similar, why can it only understand what the skinny one says? No, no, now is not the time to think about these things!
Wolves can be killed but not humiliated!
This two-legged beast is going too far!
"Awoo——" Let me go! It roared and struggled to escape, only in this way could it survive!
But it was of no use. The claws of the biped were too powerful. They were stuck there, as if they were the weight of a mountain. No matter how it struggled, it could not be moved at all. This feeling of being at the mercy of others made the wolf despair, and this was the second time it had experienced this. The last time was in the vast forest. It watched its own people being slaughtered. It itself was injured and captured, and put into a cage that could not be bitten open. It came from the place where it was born and raised to a completely unfamiliar place. The last time it saw the outside world and the blue sky, it also saw an endless lake.
It gave up struggling. Not only because struggling is useless, but also because I am tired. It is a wolf king, and the forest is its home. It survives by hunting food with its sharp claws and fangs, and finally dies in battle. Instead of being locked in a cage like this, even if you are released, it will be a place without sunlight, trees or soil. These are not what it wants.
Suddenly, the two-legged beast squatted down, and the powerful hand touched his head unexpectedly gently. His voice sounded in my ears, very low, "I'll give you a chance to choose, life or death, it's up to you to choose."
Its eyes suddenly widened.
After Jing Ling asked Xu Shaohuai for his opinion, he finally gave the decision to Wolf. It is up to it to choose whether to continue living like this or to die. He spoke in a very low voice, and while touching the wolf's head, he squatted down and lowered his head. With a clown mask on his face, he completely avoided the surveillance camera above his head.
-I don't want to go on, but there's one more thing I need to do before I die.
There was a wound on its back, and the blood had already coagulated, but the struggle just now tore the wound open again, and the blood soaked the surrounding fur. This is a new wound, obviously it couldn't have been left by a previous game, and the person who hurt it is in this maze.
What it wants to do is bite that person to death.
Or, be killed by that person.
"Okay. Remember, the two doors you just walked through are the shortcuts here, and the place where my breath stayed is where the door is. Go, get revenge." After Jing Ling finished speaking, he grabbed the wolf's head with one hand, pushed it to the other side of the door with force, and closed the flip door at the same time. The situation is back to where the wolf is on the other side and they are on the other side.
"Let's go, it's time to look for treasure." He said to Xu Shaohuai, and as he spoke, he turned around and walked forward.
He had already walked through the entire area and had the map memorized in his mind, including all the mechanisms and shortcuts. Although he didn't know which team had the treasure, he had a rough idea of where the people and the beasts were. He could just look for them one by one.
"Hey, why didn't he kill the wolf? Why did he let it go?" Yang Xinyao didn't expect Jing Ling to let the wolf go. She was confused and turned to ask the two people next to her.
Bai Ningxi shook her head, "I don't know."
Her eyes fell on Song Xiuyuan. He took the knife off his back, but never let it go, holding it in his arms. Whenever the camera switched to other teams, he would lower his head to carefully wipe the blade. Feeling her gaze, he turned around and shook his head, "I don't know either."
The environment they were born and raised in was different from that of Xu Shaohuai and Jing Ling. They could not imagine for a moment that they were playing a trick to kill with a borrowed knife, eliminating or weakening the enemy in advance. This sounds simple, but behind it is a cruel and bloody fact.
"Didn't he learn from Li...that thing? Maybe he instigated this wolf to rebel?" Bai Ningxi suddenly thought of this. At the same time, he was also very clear that this was someone else's territory, and he knew what he could say and what he couldn't say. The rest of this sentence was written on paper with a pen. After showing it to the other two, he directly dipped it into water and stretched out two fingers to completely destroy the handwriting.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xinyao rolled her eyes at him and said, "What's the use!" Could a wolf lead the way for him and steal things at the same time? Even if he really could, he definitely wouldn't do it. Exposing his abilities early wouldn't do any good to their team.
The camera quickly cuts to another team.
The two people from Team 3 walked in the southeast direction of the maze. Being able to draw the front numbers shows that they are lucky. But that was before the game started. Not long after the game started, they met Hungry Wolf in the maze. After turning a corner, before they could see the situation ahead clearly, they felt a dark shadow rushing towards them. The shark walking in front subconsciously stretched out his hand to block in front of him, and then felt a sharp pain in his arm.
A wolf pounced on him and bit his arm. If he didn't block it, it might be his neck that was bitten.
"Ah——" He screamed, his face distorted by pain and anger. He gritted his teeth, swung his arm, and smashed the wolf that was biting his hand against the wall. It loosened its mouth in pain, stepped firmly on the ground with all four limbs, lowered its body, and assumed an attacking posture. The whole body shot out like an arrow.
The shark quickly dodged and raised the dagger in its hand and stabbed forward. He failed to avoid it, and the wolf's claws tore his clothes, leaving several deep bloody marks on his shoulders. The wolf also failed to escape unscathed. His dagger stabbed it in the back. Although it did not injure its internal organs, it was enough to cause it to suffer a heavy loss.
After a brief confrontation, the wolf gave up on them for the time being and turned and ran away.
However, this was only the beginning of their bad luck, not the end. Soon after that, they encountered a lion and a tiger respectively. Both of them were injured. Their injuries were not life-threatening, but serious.
Fortunately, after fighting with the beasts, they were no longer so unlucky. After that, they only encountered two teams, all of whom were as unlucky as them. They were all injured and in similar situations. They were cautious and did not dare to attack them, so they finally got along peacefully.
"Damn it, I haven't even seen any trace of the treasure since the start of the game, and instead I'm covered in injuries. This trip is such a big loss!" Shark leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. The injured arm was simply bandaged with a strip of cloth cut from the clothes. Although the bleeding had stopped, the cloth had already been soaked with blood and turned black after coagulation, and its previous color could not be seen at all.
The place where they stopped was a straight road, and each person was responsible for watching the situation at one end. His teammate was right next to him, also panting heavily. "Today's maze is really weird! The previous ones weren't that difficult at all, and now there are two more areas, the difficulty has suddenly increased several times. Are you kidding me!"
As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously fell on the opposite wall. A wave-like bloodstain of varying thickness rose and fell from one end of the wall to the other. It was obvious that this was a path that someone had walked on and left a mark. Of course, the game has been going on for so long that it is more difficult to find a path that no one has walked on. But what really concerned him was that there was a missing section in the middle of the bloodstain, as if it had been wiped out out of thin air, leaving no trace at all. At first glance, the missing distance is almost the same as the distance between two walls!
Before, they were busy trying to save their lives when possessed by the unlucky ghost and had no time to pay attention to these details. Now that I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, I realize something is wrong.
"Shark, I think there's something wrong with this maze!" As he spoke, he walked over and reached out his hand to carefully feel the place where the bloodstain was broken. Sure enough, these identical walls can deceive the naked eye but cannot deceive the senses, especially when there are obvious signs, one can feel the tiny gap as soon as the hand touches it.
After touching one side and then the other, and tracing a complete circle along the trace of the gap, he had the answer in his mind. This is the frame of a door, and the missing bloodstain in the middle is, as expected, behind the door. He tried putting his palm against the door and pushed hard with his hand, but the door did not open as expected. He was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. If it could be pushed open so easily, he would have discovered it when he used the blood-stained clothes to mark the wall. He would not have waited until now. Next he tried pushing the door from different places, groping his way slowly.
Seeing this, the shark also came over to help.
When it touched somewhere in the upper left corner above my head, I heard a slight sound and then the door slowly opened.
They were immersed in the excitement of discovering the maze mechanism and were caught off guard for a moment. However, at this moment, a dark shadow rushed out from behind the door and headed straight for the shark. He subconsciously raised his hand to block, but his injured hand was no more flexible than his healthy hand. This small mistake caused him to be unable to block the black shadow rushing towards him.
This historical event from not long ago repeated itself, but he was not as lucky as last time to avoid it. The next second, a huge pain came from the side of the neck, and the nose was filled with an indescribable fishy smell.
"Ah——" He screamed, and at the same time his body was pushed back a few steps, and his back hit the wall hard, making a loud noise.
