Chapter 016 Biological Laboratory (IV)
We are different~
It’s not just a lyric.
Bai Tao came in with the help of the props given by the Ginkgo Tree Sister.
She knew that the name of the copy was Biological Laboratory, but Zhuang Xi and the others didn't know it and only called this strange copy a special copy.
They knew about the special copy because the system announced that they had entered the special copy.
There is an information gap, but not much. The players don’t know as much as Bai Tao.
After making sure that Meng Huo had no other adverse effects, she stood on the treadmill again.
This time Bai Tao was interrupted again.
It was not Zhuang Xi, nor Meng Huo, but an unexpected visitor, Su Hua.
Bai Tao remembered that he went to the space walker site with two T girls.
The space walker looks the safest of the four types of fitness equipment.
The space walking machine room and the treadmill room are just on the diagonal line of the fitness plaza.
He ran so far and came here alone. Could something have happened in the space walk room?
But looking at Su Hua's expression, it didn't look like anything had happened.
Zhuang Xi stood in front of the treadmill and looked at Su Hua. "Mr. Su, what are you doing here?"
"Exchange information." Su Hua said with a smile, "I will tell you about other fitness equipment. In exchange, you tell me how to use the treadmill safely. Of course, other information about the dungeon rules is also acceptable."
Bai Tao thought they could make an exchange. Su Hua refused to leave anyway, and by watching Bai Tao run he could learn how to use the treadmill safely, so it would be better to recycle the waste and exchange it for information.
Several people reached a consensus, and Su Hua spoke first: "There is no one in the bench press room. Qingnian and Xiao Zhou disappeared."
Zhuang Xi hit the nail on the head: "How do you know they disappeared, not died?"
"Blood. There is no blood in the bench press room."
If someone died, even if the body disappeared like the one in the treadmill room, there should be obvious bloodstains left. That's why Su Hua said that the two young men were missing rather than dead or injured.
Su Hua was the first to show his sincerity, and Bai Tao also said a piece of news to show his sincerity.
"There may be steel wires on the walls of the treadmill, and I was the only one who saw it," said Meng Huo.
Su Hua suddenly realized the cause of Fu's death, but "Are there parallel bars in front of the treadmill? Is there no punishment for destroying fitness equipment?"
Zhuang Xi shook his head: "Only single and double bars. If it is only simply disassembled, it may cause pollution, but it is not fatal. The steel wire only appears once, and the effectiveness of the single and double bars has not been tested yet."
We exchanged messages one by one, and then it was Su Hua's turn to speak.
"When I left the space walk room, Luo Hong had been exercising for 15 minutes and nothing happened." He described Luo Hong's exercise process in detail.
Rule 5: No one has ever encountered a situation where the equipment speaks.
Zhuang Xi grasped the key point: "In other words, you don't know the complete usage of the space walker? Explain your purpose, Su Hua."
Bai Tao already understood that Su Hua was here to kidnap (cross out) and find allies.
Among the four groups, the team of three seems to be the safest, but time is always on their necks, and it will take at most an hour for the third person to do the first exercise.
Perhaps when exploring how to use the equipment, the loss of personnel will shorten the waiting time for the third person, but Bai Tao and the other two in the treadmill room are clearly not among them.
Su Hua's words did not exceed Bai Tao's expectations.
"I'm here to find an ally," he said openly, identifying Zhuang Xi. "There's no one in the bench press room, so we can go there for our first workout and then come to the treadmill."
Su Hua chose the wrong person to persuade.
Zhuang Xi got to the point: "Who goes first and who goes last on the bench press?"
The first person to try is in greater danger. If Zhuang Xi is the second person to use the fitness equipment, it will take about the same amount of time as staying in the treadmill room and being the third person to run.
However, Meng Huo, who had completed an exercise, found that his strength had increased and he became interested in exercise. The rules only stated that everyone must exercise for at least one hour, but did not say that they could not exercise more than that.
Bai Tao doesn’t care who leaves, as long as someone stays to help adjust the speed of the treadmill.
The result was similar to what Bai Tao had thought. After exchanging information, Meng Huo and Su Hua went to the bench press rack together, while Zhuang Xi stayed behind to queue and assist.
For safety reasons, Bai Tao and Zhuang Xi moved some debris to block the door to prevent Bai Tao's exercise from being interrupted again.
This time there was no one to disturb me and the exercise went smoothly.
The steel wire appeared three times, and with the warning of the single and double bars, Bai Tao and Zhuang Xi were unharmed.
Thirty minutes later, the counter on the wall turned to 2.
Zhuang Xi asked, "Has the strength increased?"
"Full of physical strength, but unknown power." Bai Tao used the body created by the system.
Private Marseille, she is not very familiar with the specific condition of her body.
After Bai Tao explained her feelings, she turned her gaze outside the glass house. The two ladies had been standing outside for a while.
"You two, come in and talk."
Luo Hong and Qian Qian walked in and asked, "Where is Fu Nan's body?"
Bai Tao told the whereabouts of Fu Nan's body and the observation area.
Zhuang Xi asked: "Have you used the space walker?"
Qianqian nodded: "That's right, it's a good opportunity for us to exchange how to use our respective fitness equipment." To show her sincerity, Qianqian showed the bracelet to Bai Tao and Zhuang Xi, and there was indeed the word "space walker" on it.
"There's no one in the spacewalk room right now, so exchanging equipment is just the right way to accomplish your fitness goals."
Obviously Qianqian misunderstood. She thought the 2s on the counting board represented Bai Tao and Zhuang Xi, but in fact it was Zhuang Xi's turn.
"That's a good idea, but did you check the other two rooms?"
[Please ensure that the number of people using the four types of fitness equipment is equal, with a difference of no more than 2 people]
There are currently 2 people using both the space walker and the treadmill, so we need to at least understand the movements in those two rooms, especially the sit-up chairs.
After correcting Qianqian's misunderstanding, Bai Tao asked, "With the two of you, the number of people using the treadmill room has become 5."
Qingnian and Xiao Zhou are missing, leaving 8 people. If each person uses fitness equipment twice, the average number of times the 4 types of fitness equipment are used will change from 5 to 4. If the number of people is further reduced, the bottom line of 4 times will not be safe.
In the end, it was decided that Qianqian would stay and help Zhuangxi control the treadmill, while Baitao and Luo Hong would go to other equipment rooms to check the situation.
Outside the treadmill room, the fitness square was full of humans crawling on all fours, with dirty clothes, thick hair, and squeaking sounds in their mouths.
Following Bai Tao's gaze, Luo Hong sighed, "Scary, right? They are more like rats than humans. On the way here, Qianqian and I tried to communicate with them, but it didn't work at all. They couldn't understand human language, and their intelligence was almost non-existent."
“I just hope that our final fate will not be the same as these people.”
Luo Hong changed the subject: "Do you have any idea about how to destroy this copy, Bai Tao?"
Bai Tao didn't answer her, but asked back: "Do you have any ideas?"
Luo Hong shook his head: "It would be great if I knew how to destroy the copy. I really hope that the player who destroyed the Netherworld Cemetery will announce the method of destroying the copy as soon as possible."
Bai Tao was startled. Did people in the real world know that the Netherworld Cemetery was destroyed? Bai Tao was keenly aware that the 'player who destroyed the Netherworld Cemetery' mentioned by Luo Hong had no code name or real name, which meant that they did not know the identity of this person.
Luo Hong mentioned it casually and did not continue to discuss the topic. Bai Tao noticed something from her attitude.
——Luo Hong believed that the destruction of the ghost story copy Netherworld Cemetery was not news that needed to be kept secret.
Bai Tao's pupils shrank. Would that announcement be announced to people all over the world?
Bai Tao asked jokingly, "Do you think the people who were involved in the strange story at the time also heard the announcement?"
Luo Hong answered without any defense: "As long as you are alive, you can hear the announcement."
"Including vegetative patients?"
Luo Hong was stunned: "Okay, my statement is not rigorous, it is a conscious living person."
Chatting along the way, Bai Tao and Luo Hong soon arrived at the sit-up chair room.
In addition to Luo Jiang and Shiyi, there were also human mice in the glass house. They could no longer squeak and crawl around.
——They died, cut in half.
Three bodies lay beside the sit-up chairs.
The room counter was 1. Luo Jiang was on the sit-up chair and found Bai Tao and Luo Hong and greeted them in a friendly manner.
Eleven opened the door and let the two in.
Luo Hong frowned in disgust, stood on the clean floor, and asked, "What did you do?"
Eleven opened his mouth to explain: "The ready-made guinea pigs are just right for testing the rules of the sit-up chair."
Seeing that both ladies were frowning, Eleven added: "They are all dungeon NPCs. Besides, they might as well be dead if they keep living like this."
Bai Tao's sympathy was not overflowing. She only cared about one thing: "How long will these bodies appear?"
Eleven: "My thirty minutes of exercise, plus Luo Jiang's ten minutes of exercise, is at least forty minutes."
Luo Hong felt something was wrong and asked immediately, "Didn't you see the robot vacuum cleaner? Fu's body was taken away by the robot vacuum cleaner."
Eleven frowned, "When? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Bai Tao repeated the action with her mouth and recounted the whereabouts of Fu Nan's body.
This is low information transmission efficiency!
Eleven didn't take it to heart: "Fu Nan is a player, and these are just dungeon NPCs. It's normal to be treated differently."
Bai Tao felt that it was not that simple, but seeing Eleven's determined expression, Bai Tao gave up the idea of arguing.
There are also safe instructions for using the sit-up chair, and it only takes less than twenty minutes to wait.
Luo Hong was very excited. She looked at Bai Tao apologetically and told Yi Shi first that she wanted to stay in the sit-up chair area.
Bai Tao didn't care. She wanted to visit all four areas before making a decision.
Eleven also had an idea. If he had not agreed with Luo Jiang that he must stay by his side during exercise, he would have left long ago. With Luo Hong taking over, he just happened to leave with Bai Tao.
Get the Safe Use Sit-Up Chair Method x 1 and Bai Tao goes to the next area.
Bai Tao counted subconsciously on the way.
There are three bodies of dungeon NPCs in the glass room of the sit-up chair. Excluding players such as Bai Tao, there are a total of 82 dungeon NPCs entering the fitness square, and now there are 80 people lying on the ground.
80 people! ?
Bai Tao stopped suddenly.
One more person! I counted again, and it was still 80.
Is it the young man or Xiao Zhou hiding in the crowd? No, that's not right. The sense of disobedience is getting stronger and stronger.
Something was very wrong. Bai Tao checked her memory and found that a person's face had become blurred.
His name is Zhao, Xiaodong?
Bai Tao suddenly had an epiphany. When exchanging information, Su Hua, Luo Hong and Qianqian came to the treadmill room, but they did not mention Zhao Xiaodong at all!
His presence was almost non-existent, and even Bai Tao almost forgot about Zhao Xiaodong.
In order to survive, Zhao Xiaodong used props and hid them among the NPCs in the dungeon? It doesn't make sense. He couldn't have been hiding all the time and not exercising.
There is only one possibility, he has become a member of the copy, so the player's cognition, including his own, has also been distorted.
Thinking back, when she discovered that Zhao Xiaodong had escaped, the attitudes of her and the three people from Menghuozhuangxi were also problematic.
It was as if Zhao Xiaodong just ran away and didn't care about the potential threat at all.
No matter how cowardly Zhao Xiaodong was, he was still a player who had experienced a ghost story copy and had props in his hands that could control people's behavior. His disappearance was almost ignored by everyone.
Eleven asked, "What's wrong?"
"There is one more human NPC in the copy." Bai Tao told her discovery.
Eleven frowned: "Could it be that the staff is hiding inside, preparing to attack us?"
Eleven's whole body was tense, and he didn't dare to look around.
Bai Tao: “…” How dare you kill the dungeon NPC if you’re so cowardly?
"Do you know Zhao Xiaodong?"
Eleven was still on guard against a possible sneak attack. When he heard Bai Tao's question, he subconsciously answered, "Who is that? I don't know him."
"How did Fu Nan die?"
Eleven noticed something was wrong and looked at Bai Tao suspiciously, replying: "On the treadmill, I didn't see the wire, and my head fell off. It's strange, you were there at the time, we were together, together..."
Eleven's eyes became confused. He also realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.
Eleven's eyes lit up, and Bai Tao thought he noticed that there was something wrong with her memory.
Eleven suddenly ran away, saying as he ran: "Oh my god, there's someone dead on the bench press, come quickly!"
