Life Copy Game

"There doesn't seem to be anything here."

Zhang Yusi looked around the gate with some confusion. She raised the microcomputer on her arm, and a ray of light shone from the side of the computer. This was the flashlight module integrated in the computer.

This module also comes with a small battery that can be removed and used alone as a miniature flashlight.

There are two layers of bloodstains on the floor and walls. One layer is freshly splattered, bright red, from the bloodstains of Asien and his companions, and the other layer is covered under the bright red bloodstains. Dark brown dried blood stained with dust and history.

This layer of dark brown blood was similar to the blood stain written in blood on the metal door, and should have been left by the same group of people.

Judging from the degree of dryness of the blood stain, I don't know how many years have passed.

The cold metal floors and walls preserve the traces of these long years, perhaps counting centuries.

"He Bu, the bloodstains on this layer below are almost covering the entire floor and most of the wall. The blood of one or two people may not be able to create this effect,"

Zhang Yusi squatted down and carefully looked at the details around him, "There should have been a fierce killing here at this gate."

She paused, remembering what happened to Yasien just now, "Or maybe, killing each other..."

She looked towards the gate. There was a blurred and narrow glass window in the middle of the gate. It seemed to be some kind of special glass. There were many scratches on it, but it was not damaged.

In her sight, outside the glass, she could vaguely see a relatively wide corridor outside. On the floor of the corridor, under the dim light, dark blood stains were looming.

"Perhaps those people were avoiding the pursuit of some kind of monster at that time, and then they fled here, thinking that after closing the gate, they could block those monsters, but some kind of powerful 'pollution' distorted their spirits and made them fall into some kind of In the midst of self-mutilation or cannibalism.”

"And after that?"

He Ao glanced out the glass window with a calm expression, and then asked.

Zhang Yusi looked around, picked up a flashlight and looked at it, and found the gate switch on the dark wall covered with blood stains. It seemed to be a pull bolt.

She looked at the bolt,

"There are obvious black blood stains on the pull bolt, which means that the first group of people who entered here were in the process of killing each other. Someone was controlled by 'contamination', reopened the gate, ran out, and was killed by the monster outside. Total killing."

Speaking of this, she suddenly paused and stared at the closed gate, "But why is this gate still closed? Did other people come in the middle? Or did those who ran out close the gate again? And Ya Sean just said that they fell into a hallucination as soon as they arrived at the gate. Why didn't we feel that the monster outside was gone? "

He Ao walked slowly to the switch that controlled the gate and asked Zhang Yusi softly, "Now, what does this pull bolt look like when you look at it?"

"There is a layer of black blood, and there is a layer of red blood on top. Yasien also said just now that he closed the gate."

Zhang Yusi looked at He Ao doubtfully, "He Ao, is there something wrong?"

He Ao lowered his head and looked at the 'pull bolt' in front of him.

It was a mechanical structure with only one piece of iron exposed, covered with fine bullet holes, and had already been completely destroyed.

From the wreckage left behind, it can be vaguely seen that this may have been a 'pull bolt' type switch structure.

He Ao touched the remaining structure with his right hand, then looked up at Zhang Yusi with a calm expression, "There is only one remaining piece of iron here."

"ah?"

Zhang Yusi was stunned. At that moment, a sharp pain emerged in her right temple, and the surrounding scenes were constantly changing like overlapping slides.

Finally, during this process, the complete 'pull bolt' in her field of vision twisted and changed little by little, and finally turned into the destroyed mechanical structure with only iron pieces left.

The surrounding scene gradually stabilized.

"What is that you see out the window?"

He Ao then asked.

Isn't there an empty corridor outside the window?

Zhang Yusi turned back and raised the flashlight to shine outside the gate window.

Behind the glass window covered with fine scratches, there was no corridor, but an open annular mouth filled with triangular sharp teeth.

At this moment, the giant mouth was pressed against the window, squirming in the direction of Zhang Yusi. The layers of ferocious teeth were like scales standing upright on the inside, spreading all the way to the depths of the squirming giant mouth.

"I am Cao..."

Although Zhang Yusi was already prepared when He Ao reminded her, when she saw this scene, she still stiffened and almost couldn't breathe. After a few seconds, she took a deep breath and relaxed.

When she was analyzing just now, she had been standing next to this window. In other words, she had been standing under the gaze of this terrifying crawling mouth.

This is somewhat outrageous.

He Ao watched Zhang Yusi's entire movements and nodded slightly.

Zhang Yusi's mental resistance is very strong.

You must know that Yasien and his friends were immediately contaminated and began to mutilate themselves as soon as they came over. However, Zhang Yusi only had part of the visual scene modified, which proves that the pollution spread here is not enough to directly erode Zhang Yusi's spirit and cognition.

After some advice, she was able to recover quickly.

I don't know if it's because of her talent sequence, or because of her own reasons, or both.

He Ao did not rush to take the next step, but waited for Zhang Yusi to calm down completely before asking softly, "What is your guess now?"

He is consciously training Zhang Yusi's reasoning ability in complex pollution situations and his ability to think calmly.

This helps her stabilize her mental state.

Zhang Yusi didn't know the purpose of He Ao's inquiry, but she believed that He Ao would not harm her. She calmed down and glanced at the 'pull bolt' full of bullet holes, trying hard not to look at the window. The terrifying huge mouth opened outside.

Gradually, as she concentrated on thinking, she felt that she was no longer so afraid.

He Ao looked at Zhang Yusi.

Although he has many methods and experiences in resisting pollution, most of them come from Vian's extraordinary knowledge, or the FBI training in Ender's memory, or Ronald's wilderness survival knowledge.

He himself had little experience in resisting this level of pollution. Strictly speaking, he actually had no idea how strong the pollution was.

Think about his good friends, whether they come or not, they will directly let you see the truth, or be baptized by the great trend of knowledge, or some forced brainwashing or forced dream.

After getting used to dealing with good friends, he just doesn't feel much when faced with this level of pollution.

He could feel the disturbance of this pollution, the attempt to corrode his spirit.

But that's all. These pollutions were like mud in the sea in his mind, unable to stir up a splash.

He Ao could feel that these pollutions were derivative pollutions from a very high-level existence, and they also felt inexplicably familiar.

However, the power of this pollution was too little, and He Ao couldn't tell who this familiar feeling came from.

While He Ao was thinking, Zhang Yusi had rearranged her logic. She looked at the 'pull bolt' that was full of bullet holes.

"These bullet holes indicate that the pull bolt was broken with a firearm. They may be the same people who destroyed the computer in the center console. These people may have felt that they might be controlled by contamination from the beginning, so they directly Breaking the pull bolt eliminates all possibility of the insider opening the gate,"

She glanced at the glass window, and the monster's ferocious mouth was still there.

"Theoretically speaking, this kind of gate must have more than one switch, and there will be switches inside and outside. Since those people broke the internal switch, the external switch will not be spared, even if they did not break the switch on the inside. In order to prevent the switch on the outside The switch is turned on by a monster, and they must first destroy the switch on the outside.

"Since the switches are all damaged, the problem of the door always being closed can be explained."

She glanced at the bloodstains on the ground. The black bloodstains covering the ground were not illusions. "If no one can open this gate, then the inside of the gate is equivalent to a safe area? But judging from the bloodstains on the ground, they It must have been contaminated in the end?

"Although the monsters outside couldn't get in, they eventually fell into killing each other."

This inference made some sense, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Where's the body?"

He Ao asked slowly.

Where is the body? !

Zhang Yusi was stunned, yes, where is the body? !

In her previous hallucination, the plan of running out could explain why there were no bodies in the passage, but now the broken bolt reminded her that those inside would most likely not be able to escape.

If her inference is correct, since the switches inside and outside are destroyed and the gate cannot be opened at all, what about the bodies of those who died in the passage?

The corpses were twisted into monsters?

But so far, the only one who has attacked them is that little monster. So many people have died, and it has only become such a weak little monster?

She raised her head and stared at the giant mouth attached to the window.

Her focused thinking had made her ignore fear, and she was vaguely aware of a possibility.

At this time, the giant circular mouth attached to the window seemed to realize that it could no longer interfere with Zhang Yusi. It squirmed and contracted its mouth, left the window, and slowly stood upright.

Through the blurry window, one could vaguely see a wriggling, vertical monster that resembled a sea anemone or some kind of coelenterate.

The top of its head is the mouth, and countless tiny tentacles are scattered around the mouth.

Its body swayed from side to side, and the tentacles on the top of its head were shaking constantly.

Some kind of piercing scream suddenly exploded in the minds of He Ao and Zhang Yusi.

Pollution intensified.

Zhang Yusi covered her head, gritted her teeth, and leaned against the wall without making a sound.

At this time, some kind of slender tentacle that combined metal and flesh protruded from the swaying tentacles of the sea anemone monster.

what is that······

Zhang Yusi watched all this blankly.

Those tentacles extended to the edge of the gate. Zhang Yusi's eyes followed the movements of the tentacles and moved to the edge of the gate. There, there was also a damaged switch that was penetrated by a bullet hole.

The slender tentacles stretched directly through the fine bullet holes, and a faint stream of light flashed along the mechanical parts of the tentacles.

Dong dong dong——

Along with the sound of low footsteps, two humanoid monsters with bright red bodies, arms turned into slender metal pyramids, multiple spikes on their backs, and more than two meters high appeared behind the sea anemone monster.

At this time, the tentacles of the sea anemone monster that jammed the switch suddenly contracted.

boom--

The next second, the sound of huge machinery was heard.

The closed gate slowly lifted.

Sure enough, just as I guessed...

Zhang Yusi stared at this scene blankly.

The worst case scenario occurred. They had no way to open the gate on the inside, but the monsters outside had a way to open the gate.

From the beginning, this monster has been playing tricks on them. This monster has never only used mental pollution.

I don’t know how many years ago, those people who were also hiding behind the gate were probably tricked in the same way.

They were contaminated, controlled, and killed each other.

In that brutal killing, perhaps some people with strong mental resistance, such as her and Yasien, finally regained their sanity and even survived to the end.

But just when the last survivors thought they had finally escaped all pursuit and could survive.

The monster outside easily opened the closed gate.

What an oppressive despair that was.

But now it was his turn to be desperate.

Zhang Yusi stared at the slowly moving gate.

As the gate slowly lifted, two more humanoid monsters appeared behind the sea anemone monster in the corridor outside the glass window.

Four!

The sense of oppression from these four monsters is no weaker than the monster that the brown-haired man just mutated, and is even stronger than the brown-haired man.

These four monsters seemed to be the final form of the brown-haired man who had just mutated.

This is probably the combat power of four C-levels.

In the main world, Zhang Yusi has never seen four C-levels standing together at the same time.

Is this really the ruins that are theoretically protected by novices?

She covered her head. The scream in her mind was getting worse and worse, eroding her thinking and distorting her will.

She thought about what Ho had said, trying to stay calm, and then she put her hands into her jacket.

He Bu's strength is far stronger than his own, and his speed is also far stronger than his own.

The optimal solution now is for her and He Ao to retreat immediately, with her taking the back position and trying to delay these monsters first. Then He Bu can use his speed advantage to call Yasien up behind, and the three of them start at the same time, and maybe A glimmer of hope.

The only flaw of this method is that she who fights first has the highest mortality rate, but it can help He Ao retain the greatest strength and give He Ao a chance to survive until the end.

If He Ao takes the back seat, her chance of survival will increase, but it will damage He Ao's strength and reduce the probability of everyone surviving to the end.

This ruins scene may be more dangerous than they initially imagined.

So it was the wisest choice for her to take the back seat.

"What department..."

All her thoughts were completed almost instantly. She pulled out a delicate heavy pistol from her jacket. She turned her head and looked at He Ao.

She knew very well that according to He Ao's wisdom, he would be able to understand her plan in an instant.

However, in her field of vision, she only saw He Ao yawning and raising the bone sword in his hand.

At this moment, He Ao's thoughts were very simple:

This guy finally opened the door.
