He followed the secret passage and eventually came to another stone chamber. The chamber was just like the outside, damp and filled with a musty smell. The only difference was that the walls of this chamber were covered with densely packed characters.
"Engraving?" Xu Xin thought of the engraving on the stone table, but it shouldn't matter.
"That's right." Ji Chaoyang said.
The words carved on the wall were all Earth characters, made up of multiple languages, including Chinese. Although he could only understand the Chinese characters, the secrets hidden in these words had already made him fall into deep shock at the time.
Ji Chaoyang told Xu Xin his inference.
"You mean, we are not simply trying to survive, but are participating in a cruel selection?" Xu Xin's eyes fixed.
"Yes, that's what the words carved on the wall say. The people who carved these words are all losers in this selection. The dungeon we entered was originally used to imprison losers."
The information on the wall was very fragmented. Ji Chaoyang summarized all the fragmented information and finally came to this conclusion.
"Imprison the losers? Simply imprison them?"
"Many people were sent into that stone chamber and carved words into it. But it seems that when these losers were sent into that room, they themselves did not know what they would face."
"Are you...really sure? Did the message mention how many people would be selected, or why?"
Xu Xin had actually guessed it a long time ago.
Since the activities in this world have an elimination mechanism, it is most likely to select survivors. Otherwise, all survivors would not be forced to take action by the last-in-last elimination method. After all, some people don't know how strong they are unless they are forced.
But speculation and facts are two different things.
The selection process was much more brutal than a simple survival game. In a survival game, if you could cooperate, you could stick together and try to survive.
As long as we can develop well, there is actually not much difference except that we can't see our former relatives. At most, we can create another human civilization in this world.
But if it is a cruel selection, it is completely different.
Because the number of places for any selection is limited.
If only one person is selected from each group of survivors...
If this is true, then even Ji Chaoyang on the other side of the voice line is an enemy.
"I'm not sure about that. Many of the survivors who left messages in that room were as ignorant as we are. Only a few are revealing these things. They seem to be survivors who have lived in this world for a long time and were eventually eliminated.
Among the words covering the wall, some included sentences like, "I failed. It seems I won't be one of the last ones to make it to the end." "We actually lost to those guys. I can't accept this."
Xu Xin's frown relaxed. "One of them? That group of guys? In other words, the ones who can make it to the end are a group of people?"
Ji Chaoyang's voice was no longer so heavy, and he smiled and said, "At least it's not just one person. Otherwise, do you think I would share this information with you? You've been stepping on my head all the time. If there really is only one person left, you're my biggest threat. I'd be merciful if I didn't stab you in the back."
Xu Xin also smiled: "Do you have to be so honest?"
Ji Chaoyang's voice became formal again: "So, Xu Xin, let's truly cooperate. According to the information I've obtained, I'm afraid that among our group, only a small number of people will survive to the end. You and I are the first and second among all of them. As long as we cooperate, the possibility of surviving to the end is very high."
Xu Xin was naturally willing to cooperate with Ji Chaoyang. He joked, "It would be great if we could sign a contract. That way, I wouldn't be afraid of you really stabbing me."
"Maybe there will really be such a contract in the future?" Ji Chaoyang also joked, and then said seriously, "The cooperation I'm talking about this time is not just a simple alliance of interests."
"I understand what you mean," Xu Xin said. "You mean we should form a joint force to face the outside world, right? If this survival game is really a selection competition, then besides those mutant monsters above and below the ground, the other survivors are also a major hidden danger."
“It’s easy to talk to smart people.”
Xu Xin temporarily chose to believe Ji Chaoyang's words. He urgently needed to cooperate with a strong man.
So Xu Xin told Ji Chaoyang what he knew, including his experience in the underground city.
Of course, he concealed the fact that Changyin's family had a good relationship with him and was brought out by him. He only told him that he learned the original appearance of this world from the mouth of the stone statue, and told him that this world was actually no different from their world fifty years ago. At the same time, he also knew that they were the fifth group of survivors to arrive here.
After hearing the news, Ji Chaoyang on the other end of the voice chat pondered for a long time. Xu Xin did not interrupt him, and was also thinking at the same time.
If the dungeon is really a place to imprison losers, then where do these losers come from?
