Chapter 63: Sixth inning

Views:

The positions of everyone in the temporary team are very clear, and the most prominent ones are Luo Qi and Qian Zhen, who can be seen as output types at a glance.

Song Gui briefly assigned the aspects of personal responsibility, and then asked: "A team must need a captain, do you have any self-recommendations?"

The four of them looked straight at Song Gui, and Song Gui said, "Okay, I recommend Lu Chu."

Lu Chu tilted his head in doubt.

Song Gui patted him on the shoulder: "Lu Xiaochu, I like you."

Luo Qi and the others nodded without any objection.

They are originally a team of several people with completely different personalities, and they have no desire to control, just want to live.

While they were chatting, a man that Lu Chu had never seen passed by, and they immediately stopped chatting. When the man left, Song Gui said, "That man's name is Zeng Ziran. I used to form a team with him. Although I have outstanding abilities in all aspects, I completely stood by and watched the danger I encountered throughout the whole process."

Lu Chu nodded and remembered it in his heart.

Song Gui told everyone the number of the task, and after a while, the time on Lu Chu's bracelet indicated that it was coming soon, so he greeted the others and left the illusion.

Standing in front of the floating rules, Lu Chu entered the number Song Gui told him, and looked at the prompt of the task, with countless guesses in his mind.

"Requirement: Complete the game and reach the end

Clue: Monopoly

Tip: trust me, luck is your best bet”

Without hesitation, he chose to enter the "game".

After entering the "bureau", to Lu Chu's surprise, he had a strange sense of familiarity with the place he was in.

He was sitting in front of a round wooden table at the moment. There were five chairs around the round table, one of which was sitting by himself. Looking around, you can see the blue-black walls, and looking up, you can see the spiraling stairs and the distant pointed top. Everything around was very much like the tower he and 7 entered together when they met.

This sense of familiarity made Lu Chu uncontrollably think of everything in the past, loving parents, obedient carrots, and a peaceful life like old age.

Lu Chu came back to his senses quickly, and didn't let himself fall into the memory for too long. What he needs to do now is to look forward, he wants to live a good life, he promised his parents, and also promised 7.

Soon, the other four people appeared in their seats one after another.

After the five people arrived, the table in front of them changed immediately. The middle of the round table was sunken, and a square slightly concave game tabletop slowly floated up. On the square tabletop are drawn grids that are connected and encircling. Many grids are floating with different image symbols, including bombs, hearts, and monsters. On the last grid, there is a huge shiny golden crown floating.

At the same time, a dice appeared in everyone's hands, and a piece of paper was placed under the dice. The note said-warm reminder, although you are a team, only one player can roll the dice in each round.

Seeing this, Yuan Kejie smiled and said, "The clue is Monopoly, do you really want us to play Monopoly?"

Lu Chu took the dice and observed it carefully, then shook his head and said, "It's definitely not that simple. Looking at the images on those grids, I think that after we throw the points, the thrown things are likely to be projected into reality."

Luo Qi is very short, and her feet can't touch the ground when sitting on a chair. She stretched her neck to look at the grids on the table. After finding it difficult, she jumped onto the table nimbly, squatted on the table, and stretched out her fingers to count one by one. Write: "One, two, three, four... fifty-two. Except for the starting point, there are fifty-two grids in total."

Song Gui leaned on the chair, tossed the dice in his hand and caught them again, saying: "When I saw this task, I had the same thought as Lu Xiaochu just analyzed, this kind of real-life Monopoly game, I don't think it's very Are you emotional?"

Qian Zhen commented objectively: "Only you think so."

Lu Chu looked at the fifty-two grids one by one intently, and said: "There are no floating images on some grids, which means that if the points of the dice throw reach this point, no accidents will be triggered. It appears to be 'normal', but 'round' Who knows what the standard is for "ordinary". The outline of the grid with the image of peach heart is pink, and the outline of other unexpected events is black, which shows that peach heart represents the triggering of "good" things, but peach There are only two hearts, and the probability of being able to cast is very small. The size of the points thrown in the Monopoly game is inversely proportional to the number of rounds that need to be performed. The higher the number of points thrown, the fewer rounds we need to perform. The danger is less. From both perspectives, luck is a very important thing."

Hearing this, Song Gui caught the dice and held it in his palm, put his hands on the table, and looked at the other four people: "Do you remember what it said in the 'rules' - 'Trust me, luck is your best reliance'. Monopoly is How about a game that proves you're European, who thinks he's the luckiest guy?"

No one answered.

Song Gui continued with a smile: "So, who wants to try first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dice in Luo Qi's hand had already been thrown to the center of the table. After spinning a few times beautifully, the dice stopped steadily—three o'clock.

Luo Qi snorted: "I suspect it's cheating."

Song Gui raised his eyebrows: "You delayed my six o'clock."

Luo Qi didn't take it seriously: "It's impossible for you."

Yuan Kejie took advantage of the situation and said, "Then let's throw one round each. Qiqi has already thrown it, and we will follow the next one."

Everyone has no objection.

While everyone was talking, the things on the table began to change. Five paper figures appeared at the beginning of the Monopoly grid, floated forward together, and stopped at the third grid. There is no image above the third grid, which is what Lu Chu called 'ordinary'.

That's good, they can see what happens without triggering something more dangerous.

After the five paper figures stood still, a line of words appeared on the table—after 24 hours, the game table will appear again, I wish you a happy game.

Then, the walls of the tower began to become transparent, revealing the outside.

The five stood up and looked out. The moment they stood up, the tables and chairs disappeared in place.

Outside the tower, the sky is dark and the vegetation is lush. Gothic buildings and single-room villas are scattered around. The walls of those buildings are dark blue-gray, and there are green moss climbing on the base of the walls. The surroundings are quiet and lonely, against the dark gray sky, there is a sense of doomsday in decline and vicissitudes.

Lu Chu took the lead to break the silence and said, "Find an empty house as a shelter first, and then find some weapons that you can handle."

Just because the tower disappears and says it will reappear in twenty-four hours doesn't mean they can wait all day. Anything can happen in the "game", and it is the most unsafe thing to wait for a rabbit to sit on the sidelines, and everyone knows this well.

Luo Qi pressed her knuckles with a "click" sound: "Where are you going?"

After discussing for a while, everyone decided to go north, where a house was closest to them.

As the sky gradually darkened, everyone became vigilant, paying attention to every sign of trouble.

Approaching the house, everyone did not go in immediately, but probed outside for a while. The houses in this area are all detached villas with gardens, obviously no one lives in them, the yard is overgrown with weeds and lush trees, it looks lively, but it is surprisingly quiet to the point that not even the chirping of crickets can be heard.

The walls and gates of this yard are surrounded by ordinary fences, and the fences are covered with lush vines. Although they are in the way, they are still easy to climb.

After confirming that there was no danger, everyone carefully turned into the courtyard.

When she came to the door, Luo Qi pushed the door, but it was locked.

Seeing this, Yuan Kejie stepped forward, picked up a slender bamboo stick from the ground, inserted it into the keyhole, and opened the door with a few clicks.

Lu Chu praised: "Very useful skills."

Yuan Kejie said: "It is indeed very useful. If anyone of you wants to learn, I can teach you."

Song Gui rubbed his chin: "Then we have to pick a safe time."

It is safe enough in the illusion.

Several people approached the house and did not forget to lock the door at the last place.

After checking up and down to confirm that there was no danger, everyone began to search for suitable weapons in the house.

Luo Qi picked only the biggest and heaviest weapons. This time she chose a huge shovel, took out a whetstone she got from nowhere, and began to sharpen the edge of the shovel. Qian Zhen chose a fire axe, and fixed the stick of the fire ax and an iron rod together with something to increase the damage range.

The others didn't find a very suitable weapon, so they had to take some things to defend themselves first. Lu Chu took the large boning knife he found in the kitchen, and tied it to an iron rod following Qian Zhen's example. Song Gui found a pistol and dozens of bullets, and the bullets would always run out, so he fastened two control knives on his waist. Yuan Kejie is not as strong as other people. Wielding a knife tied to an iron pipe for a long time may cause her exhaustion, but she is more flexible and has lit up various small skills. After thinking about it, she finally chose a wooden stick. Dagger, very useful, but less lethal.

Just when everyone was trying the weapons in their hands, Lu Chu suddenly woke up and said, "Did you smell it?"

Song Gui, who knew that Lu Chu's sense of smell was different from ordinary people, immediately went on alert: "What's wrong?"

Lu Chu looked in the direction of the window: "It smells bad."

"Bad smell?" Yuan Kejie was puzzled, "I didn't smell it?"

Lu Chu explained: "Just over the window, there is a rotten smell, getting closer, getting closer..."

Song Gui looked alert, raised his pistol and pointed it in the direction of the window.

Although the others didn't understand the situation, they quickly entered the state and everyone was on guard.

"Here we come." Lu Chu said.

The next moment, something began to hit the window, because the window was full of dust, and several people could only see a vague shadow.

The heavy and forceful impact lasted only a few times before the window was shattered, and an ugly monster jumped in. It was nearly two meters high, its whole body was black and greasy, and it exuded a rotten stench. This monster has an arched back, long limbs and muscular development, and it looks very powerful in jumping. It has a horse-like head and a mouth. The teeth in the mouth are as sharp as awls, and salty yellow saliva is dripping down. .

Just as everyone was thinking about how to deal with the ugly monster in their minds, another monster jumped into the house from the window.

Luo Qi held the shovel in both hands, looked at the shattered glass and said, "This house, garbage defense."
