I'm trapped in a cube

Chapter 499 Understanding

"From then on, the captain would not let any team member go to the back." Zhou Chao said with some nostalgia.

Li Luo nodded blankly: "That 'Li Mingfu' is also your team member, but he was 'stolen', right?"

"Yes." Zhou Chao sighed: "He is 52 years old and entered the abyss very early. At that time, he did not need to have relics to enter the second floor."

"He has no special skills. He is usually taciturn in the team and does not like to talk to us young people."

"Every time he explores the sky island, he always likes to walk at the back, saying that he can see every team member, but in fact we all know that the back of the team is the most dangerous. He just puts himself in the most dangerous place. ..."

"It is precisely because no one can see him that he was 'stolen' and forgotten by us. If there were no records, we would have forgotten him completely."

"Since then, the captain has only walked at the back of the team, and only changed his position and rushed to the front when he encountered the enemy."

"Although the captain has not told anyone, I know that he must feel very guilty in his heart, guilty that he forgot 'Li Mingfu', guilty that it was not him who walked at the back at that time..."

When Zhou Chao finished talking about this past, Li Luo also understood his judgment.

The "captain" who is walking in front now does not seem to care about things like "who walks at the back".

Appearance and voice can be forged, but people's experiences cannot be forged. That incident is the captain's heart knot, and he should not forget it so easily.

"That's not the captain..." Zhou Chao said with some disappointment.

Then Zhou Chao pointed to a team member in front.

"That's not Awang. Awang won't carry his backpack on his back."

"Why?"

"Because we went to an empty island before. There is a kind of octopus on that empty island. It will quietly stick to the back of a creature, and then pierce its tentacles into the creature's brain to suck the brain."

"Awang is the logistics officer of the team. His backpack is full of various things, so his backpack has always been the largest in our team. The octopus thought he was the fattest prey, so it kept attacking him."

"Although those octopuses were killed, Awang never carried his backpack on his back. He would rather hold it in front of him or carry it in his hands."

Listening to Zhou Chao's explanation, Li Luo was confused: "Won't that affect the activity?"

You know, these transport backpacks are very large. If you hold them in front or carry them in your hands, it will be a big burden.

Zhou Chao shook his head: "Maybe that incident left him with too much of a shadow. It is said that the octopus's tentacles had already pierced his skull at that time. If it went any further, it would have turned his brain into a paste."

"Awang's relics can enhance strength, so no matter where he puts the backpack, he can bear it, so he doesn't care much about this."

"So, that's not Awang either."

"I see." Li Luo nodded.

The team member in front, called "Awang", carried his backpack on his back very regularly, and there was no abnormality at all.

"Can you find anything else?" Li Luo asked in a low voice.

The two had been talking at the back of the team, but the team members in front did not react at all. They moved forward on their own, passing through the starlit forest, and seemed very anxious.

"Brother Tie is not right either. His relics don't seem to be effective." Zhou Chao looked at a sturdy man in front and said puzzledly.

"What is the effect of his relic?"

"It can make the body's iron excess, but it will not cause adverse reactions, and it can also use these iron elements to make the body hard."

"If the iron content in his body was placed on a normal person, he would have gone into shock and coma, and died of liver failure, but that relic can keep his body stable with high iron content."

"However, the price of this relic is that the iron content in the body must be maintained. If there is a lack of iron, he will immediately become anemic and faint and fall to the ground."

"So he must always eat iron-containing foods."

"Always eat?" Li Luo asked puzzled.

"Yes, every twenty minutes, at most half an hour, he must take iron, but for convenience, he will only take some iron supplements or lozenges, which are easy to carry and absorb quickly."

"But for so long, I haven't seen Tie Ge replenish iron. His relic doesn't seem to be effective..."

Zhou Chao carefully observed Tie Ge. Tie Ge was busy on the road and did not replenish iron on time.

Logically speaking, Tiege should have been anemic after not replenishing iron for such a long time, but now he is still walking briskly, not like an anemic person at all.

"Because he needs to replenish iron frequently, Tiege often touches his pocket to confirm whether his medicine is sufficient, and he has developed the habit of checking the time. If he is not allowed to check the time, he will be very anxious."

"But now Tiege not only does not touch his pocket, but also keeps looking forward. If he were the old him, he would have been anxious long ago."

"There is only one possibility, Tiege is also fake."

Zhou Chao expressed his judgment very confidently.

These familiar teammates are just for show, and they do not have the "habits" they should have.

Zhou Chao knew his teammates very well. If he had only judged by his "sixth sense" at the beginning, now he had solid evidence. Every piece of evidence showed that Zhou Chao's intuition was not wrong:

This group of familiar teammates were fake.

"What exactly do they want to do?"

Zhou Chao was a little worried. These fake teammates were so anxious to take him and Li Luo to the depths of the starlight. It might be a trap.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chao couldn't help but slow down.

But when he thought that his original goal was also the center of the starlight, he mustered up his courage again.

"Anyway, I have to go inside to see what happened in the center of the starlight. More importantly..." Zhou Chao looked at his teammates in front of him and clenched his fists: "I want to find out what is impersonating you."

In the increasingly dazzling starlight forest, the movement speed of those fake team members became faster and faster, and their movements became more and more distorted.

Gradually, they became like a group of hungry beasts, rushing towards the center in unison.

If it weren't for waiting for Li Luo and Zhou Chao behind them, they would have rushed to the finish line long ago.

Seeing that Li Luo and Zhou Chao were still hesitating, the "captain" turned around, his eyes were full of bloodshot, his brows were furrowed, and he was panting anxiously in his throat.

"Come on, hurry up... hurry up..."

The captain, who was originally elegant and easy-going, became a little incoherent, trying his best to suppress the urgency in his heart, but he seemed to be worried that the two would find out that something was wrong with him, so he turned his head back immediately.
