Chapter 015 Biological Laboratory (Part 3)
Meng Huo leaned against the glass wall and sneered: "Fu Nan's death has nothing to do with you, Zhao Xiaodong, why are you so guilty?"
More than one person noticed Zhao Xiaodong's guilty conscience. Compared to Bai Tao who simply suspected that Fu Nan's death was related to Zhao Xiaodong, others suspected that he was the monster hidden among the players.
"I, I'm not guilty, I'm just too scared." Zhao Xiaodong took two steps back, fearing that Meng Huo would attack him.
"The wound is smooth and neat, probably caused by cutting."
Zhuang Xi came over after examining the body: "Mr. Zhao, did Mr. Fu lose his head without any warning? Did you hear any voices?"
Rule 5: If you hear fitness equipment talking, please stop exercising immediately and switch to the same equipment.
Zhao Xiaodong shook his head guiltily: "Yes, I'm sorry, I was distracted at the time and didn't notice it."
"Mr. Zhao, this is not your fault. Don't blame yourself." Zhuang Xi comforted him in a gentle voice.
Zhao Xiaodong looked at him gratefully, and his bent back straightened up a little.
Zhuang Xi suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Zhao, tell me, did Mr. Fu volunteer to get on the treadmill?"
"No, no, I used props to control him to go up. I just wanted him to help me try out the rules. I didn't want to kill you, what did you do to me?" Zhao Xiaodong suddenly realized what he was saying and covered his mouth in horror.
For the first time, Zhuang Xi's smile disappeared, and he explained expressionlessly, "It's a small prop that can make people tell the truth."
It’s a bit regrettable that Zhao Xiaodong is actually a player. It would be good for others if such a selfish player was eliminated from the team as soon as possible.
Zhuang Xi ignored Zhao Xiaodong's glare. He was explaining it to the others.
Meng Huo clapped his hands and cheered: "It's insidious enough, but I like it."
Bai Tao also gave Zhuang Xi a thumbs up in her heart.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhao Xiaodong broke down and fell to the ground: "I just want to survive. What have I done wrong? I did nothing wrong!"
Zhao Xiaodong screamed and ran out, but was subdued by Nian Qing and Xiao Zhou.
Even though they were in the middle of a strange story, everyone still maintained the basic bottom line. They did not kill Zhao Xiaodong, but restricted his movements and tied him up.
Zhuang Xi used props to make Zhao Xiaodong tell him how he used the props, and confirmed that the props could not be used while he was tied up.
Qingnian and Xiao Zhou worked together to wrap Zhao Xiaodong like a dumpling, tied a knot, and threw him outside the treadmill room.
The crowd dispersed, and the ten people were divided into four groups, each going to the equipment area to exercise. The ones who stayed in the treadmill room were Meng Huo, Zhuang Xi and Bai Tao.
Bai Tao raised her eyebrows. Someone had just died in the treadmill room, but there were still two people left.
The three of them looked at each other, and Meng Huo took off his motorcycle helmet: "I'll be the first."
He looked at Fu's body on the treadmill with disgust and prepared to use another one.
Something unexpected happened, "buzz buzz buzz", and a sweeping robot dragging its wheels appeared at the source of the sound.
Bai Tao and her two teammates took two steps back at the same time, and the terms of Rule 2 for staff members came to their minds at the same time.
However, the little sweeping robot did not say anything. It began to deal with Fu Nan's body diligently.
Cutting, dismembering, and then moving, the blood dyed the treadmill room red.
The three followed the sweeping robot and saw it holding the remains of the body, walking into the observation area and disappearing from the players' sight.
Bai Tao had just passed by here not long ago, and she was very sure that there was no sign for the observation area here. Bai Tao also walked all over the square and did not find any sign for the rest area.
So observation areas and rest areas may appear randomly anywhere in the square.
Not to mention the observation area, the location of the rest area is uncertain and each person can only enter once a day.
The more restrictive a place is, the more likely it is to contain information that is beneficial to the players. Perhaps the rule sheet for this ghost story copy is hidden in the lounge.
Most players think that the mouse's daily routine is a piece of rule paper, but Bai Tao is very sure that the mouse's daily routine is not a piece of rule paper.
Reward from the novice assessment, Bai Tao's identity certificate
[My name is Bai Tao. I am a minor, a third-class citizen of Dream City, and a glorious courier. I need to abide by the following rules: "Minor Protection Law", "Dream City Third-Class Citizen Code of Conduct", "Nadousong Express Courier Code", "▆▆▆▆▆", "Fitness Plaza Usage Guide"]
If the mouse's daily routine is a rule sheet, why is it in a blocked state?
She has never forgotten the worldview given by the system: [Everyone must have an identity]. Can a white mouse be considered an identity?
The mice are the property of the laboratory. In the Nether Cemetery, the player is a house viewer and can leave after the viewing.
The schedule does not state the conditions under which the mice can leave the laboratory.
Moreover, the rule paper is made of a special material, the same material as the rule sheets in Bai Tao's hand. She has also confirmed the material of the rule paper in the fitness square.
The only thing is that the mouse's schedule is placed on the wall of the mouse's nest, which can only be seen but not touched.
Of course, the most important thing now is not the rest area, but to complete the requirements of the fitness plaza first.
The three returned to the treadmill room and saw ropes scattered on the ground, but Zhao Xiaodong himself was nowhere to be seen.
When tying up Zhao Xiaodong, Bai Tao confirmed that the rope could not be untied without external force.
"Don't think too much." Meng Huo swung his arms and stood on the treadmill where nothing happened.
"I'm going to start." After saying that, he pressed the treadmill switch, selected the slowest speed, and walked on the track.
Bai Tao, in the spirit of helping others, reminded: "Watch your neck."
Zhuang Xi added calmly: "Maybe he should be more careful about his forehead."
Meng Huo is shorter than Fu Nan.
Baitao: "..."
She suspected that Zhuang Xi was implying Meng Huo's height, but she had no evidence.
Meng Huo himself did not have this awareness.
Five minutes later, Meng Huo shared the news with a frown: "The speed has increased."
Bai Tao witnessed Meng Huo's four processes: walking, brisk walking, jogging and sprinting. At this time, the timer on the treadmill had just reached eight minutes.
The track speed did not slow down at all.
Maintaining the speed of a 100-meter sprint for 20 minutes is something that even the world's fastest man can't do.
Bai Tao didn't know whether Meng Huo could do it, but she didn't have the physical strength to do so.
Of course, if we think optimistically, maybe the treadmill will slow down soon after reaching its peak.
But Bai Tao is not willing to leave her life to the mercy of the copy.
Helping Meng Huo now is helping your future self.
"Meng Huo, can you hear me? I want to discuss something with you."
"Speak." In order to save energy, Meng Huo's response was very brief.
"I want to try to control the speed of the treadmill."
"Can."
Bai Tao stood in front of the Menghuo treadmill and controlled the speed of the treadmill with the button. She did not directly switch to the walking gear, but reduced the speed of the treadmill step by step.
After manual control, the treadmill no longer accelerates strangely.
This approach seems to be feasible.
"Phew, I was almost exhausted. Thank you, Bai Tao. You're not like that person who just stood there and watched."
Bai Tao thought that Meng Huo was wrongly accusing Zhuang Xi. While Bai Tao was taking action, Zhuang Xi rolled up his sleeves, moved some stuff in and blocked the door.
Bai Tao, the former arsonist, hopes that there will be fire-fighting facilities in the fitness square.
Blocking the door to prevent staff or staff disguised as companions is a good idea.
Zhuang Xi did not refute, but only reminded: "Concentrate on running."
Bai Tao is entangled in the treadmill. Once she lets go, the treadmill will speed up. She cannot live without anyone. She absolutely cannot live without anyone.
Bai Tao and Zhuang Xi also tried to make some small mechanisms to fix the treadmill speed at the lowest speed, but the buttons on the treadmill seemed to have hidden rules that only recognized finger pressure.
The anti-accidental-touch function is more advanced than that of modern mobile phones, and all small mechanisms are rendered ineffective.
It seems that the treadmill requires at least two people to use it together to control the speed, but the danger of Fu's head falling to the ground has not yet occurred.
Bai Tao didn't dare to let her guard down at all.
The same was true for Meng Huo. The white peach blocked part of his vision, making him more alert.
Suddenly his pupils contracted and he shouted, "Bai Tao, squat down!"
The two of them are closely related at this moment, and Bai Tao believes that Meng Huo will not harm her.
Without hesitation, Bai Tao immediately squatted down following Meng Huo's words. Meng Huo was one step faster than Bai Tao, and he squatted down while he was speaking.
Meng Huo breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had survived a life-and-death crisis.
"Okay." He stood up.
Zhuang Xi asked: "What did you see?"
"A silver-white steel wire moved over."
Zhuang Xi shook his head: "I didn't see it."
Bai Tao thought the same, but she believed Meng Huo. In this way, the cause of Fu Nan's death would be clear.
It seems that the wire is invisible to everyone except the equipment user.
However, in this case, Bai Tao, who was standing in front of Meng Huo and controlling the speed of the treadmill, would be in danger.
The invisible steel wire meant that she could not avoid the risk by herself and could only rely on Meng Huo.
"The line is very thin and difficult to see. I'm afraid I won't be able to notify you immediately next time." Meng Huo said to Bai Tao.
He stared at the wall, afraid that the steel wire would appear again.
Most people would probably choose to retreat.
Bai Tao didn't, she squatted on the ground to make way for Meng Huo, then instructed Zhuang Xidao.
"Mr. Zhuang, can you help me find some wooden sticks that are as tall as a person?"
Zhuang Xi thought for a while and replied, "Okay, wait a moment."
After a while, Zhuang Xi came back with a bunch of single and double bars.
There are many fitness equipment in the fitness square, and single and double bars are among them.
Without Bai Tao's instructions, Zhuang Xi spread out the poles and placed them vertically behind Bai Tao.
The poles were arranged in a formation, so as soon as the steel wire appeared, Bai Tao and Meng Huo would be able to detect it immediately.
Bai Tao thanked Zhuang Xi.
The steel wire never appeared again after that, and no other accidents occurred during the process. The treadmill timer successfully reached 30 minutes.
Meng Huo walked down, and the counter on the wall of the treadmill room changed from 0 to 1.
He told everyone about his changes.
The word "Treadmill" appeared on his wristband, just below the number D241.
Very thoughtful design.
Bai Tao couldn't help but think about the purpose of the controller of the ghost story copy or biological laboratory doing this.
There is no doubt that the mark on the bracelet is beneficial to the challengers, but what can it bring to the biological laboratory?
The necessary conditions are missing and cannot be deduced.
Bai Tao had no choice but to give up thinking.
She was the second one and was about to start the treadmill when Meng Huo stopped her.
"Something seems to be wrong with me." He sounded uncertain.
But it undoubtedly made Bai Tao stop.
"What's wrong?" Zhuang Xi asked.
"Not sure, but I'm pretty sure something's wrong."
Bai Tao saw that Meng Huo looked excited, not at all like someone who had been walking and running for half an hour, so she asked, "Are you tired?"
"Ah, this is what's wrong. I'm not tired at all. I feel full of energy. I even want to go out for a run."
This something wrong sounds quite positive.
Meng Huo was ready to make a move, and he made a move that was beyond the expectations of the two people present.
——He picked up Zhuang Xi, hugged him like a princess.
Bai Tao:? (When I put a question mark, it doesn’t mean I have a problem, but I think you have a problem.jpg)
Meng Huo only hugged Zhuang Xi for a moment before putting him down.
"The strength has increased." Meng Huo said with certainty.
Zhuang Xi stood firm with a sour face: "Maybe you should lift the dumbbells to confirm it instead of lifting me."
Maybe it's because lifting a man is free? Lifting dumbbells is not necessarily the case, after all, players are only allowed to use four types of equipment for free according to the rules.
Bai Tao wisely did not express her guess, and after Meng Huo apologized insincerely, she expressed her guess.
"The system said that this is a special copy. The stronger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish." Special copies are dangerous, but they can also enhance the power of players.
Bai Tao pricked up her ears and listened carefully. She did not forget that her way of entering the dungeon was different from that of others.
The biological laboratory is a special copy? No one told her, how is it special?
