Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 923

There is no food in the room.

There was no window to provide food or anything like that.

There is water in the toilet...

For some people, this water is psychologically undrinkable, but for people like Li Teng, there is nothing they cannot drink if they want to survive.

There is no food, water, and ventilation holes above. Under normal circumstances, the average person can survive in the secret room for about seven days.

Li Teng should be a little longer, but it's hard to say. His body is very strong and consumes a lot of energy.

Therefore, the main task is to solve the puzzle and leave the secret room as soon as possible.

Li Teng tapped and touched around the white wall, trying to see if he could find any weak spots.

The room is quite large and the ceiling is higher than that of an ordinary room, so this task is very time-consuming.

The toilet is actually a breakthrough point.

Having a toilet means that water inlet and sewer pipes must be built.

The sewer pipe may lead to the septic tank. If you find a way to dig out the toilet, you should be able to drill into the septic tank by following the pipe...

Li Teng estimated that most people can think of this kind of thing, but no one has succeeded so far. It should be that the septic tank cannot get out. It is possible that after getting in, it will stink to death and lose the chance of leaving the secret room alive. .

Therefore, forget about such a dirty attempt, it will probably be thankless.

…

Two hours of banging and banging on the walls.

All parts of the wall seemed to be the same, very hard and thick, and there was no obvious weak spot.

The bed was an iron frame bed with four iron legs welded to the cement floor.

Without tools alone, there is no way to dismantle the bed, and there is no way to use the bed legs as tools to pry the wall.

Forcibly dismantling the bed... Whether it can be dismantled or not is a matter of opinion. All the energy spent on it will probably be in vain.

However, Li Teng still found a clue that seemed useful.

There was an inconspicuous stain on the wall at a certain corner. The shape of the stain was like a little man walking in another direction.

If this stain is not natural, but was painted here intentionally, that means...this corner is the starting point?

Li Teng lay back on the bed and thought about it seriously.

The people who can get off the stone pillar are not simple, and they are all very strong. There are more than 130 people in front of them. If they can break it with brute force, they should have been able to break it long ago, so the possibility of finding a way out by brute force is extremely small. .

Li Teng even suspected that even if he could find a way to open a hole in the wall and crawl through it, it would probably be another room. In that case, the person who put so much effort into drilling a hole in the wall would definitely collapse.

Still have to find ways to outsmart them.

There are currently too few clues, and more useful clues must be found.

After Li Teng lay there for a while, he decided to start dismantling the bed.

It's not about taking apart the iron frame of the bed, but taking apart things like pillows and quilts.

See if you can find some useful information in there.

As soon as I pulled off the pillowcase, a piece of paper fell out.

It's actually a leaflet.

A promotional flyer for the Audi A7. At the bottom of the flyer is an Audi A7 driving in the desert. On top is an exaggerated drawing of the sun, which looks full of heat.

"The sun is shining brightly, and an Audi is driving in the desert...

"What could it mean?"

Li Teng thought hard.

No explanation.

There are too few clues, so we have to keep looking.

After taking apart the pillow core, Li Teng found a plastic medicine bottle inside.

Because it was in the corner of the pillow and the bottle was relatively soft, Li Teng didn't feel the existence of this medicine bottle when he was lying down.

The label on the medicine bottle says 'Pyridoxine'.

The background behind the three words is a clump of green grass.

"The sun is shining brightly, and an Audi is driving in the desert...

“The owner of the car had a bottle of pyridoxine with him.

"What could that mean?"

Li Teng fell into hard thinking.

I can't figure out the connection between these things at the moment.

Li Teng was going to continue taking apart the quilt cover and mattress.

However, when he lifted up the mattress, a driver's license fell out from under the mattress.

Li Teng picked up the driver's license and opened it and looked at it. He originally thought it was an Audi driver's license, but he never thought it was a farm vehicle's driver's license.

There are three characters in the name on the driver's license, but they have been obliterated. The surname and the third character cannot be seen clearly. Only the character in the middle is "一".

"The sun is shining brightly, and an Audi is driving in the desert...

“The owner of the car had a bottle of pyridoxine with him.

"Unexpectedly, I met a traffic policeman in the desert. The owner of the car took out an agricultural vehicle driver's license..."

Li Teng connected these clues and made up a story.

The key is, what does this story have to do with the clues in the escape room?

Li Teng continued to search for clues. After taking apart the bedding, he found an old newspaper cutout inside.

The above is a news report.

It is said that the FBI in the United States destroyed a terrorist nest based on an informant's report and found a thousand C4 bombs inside.

If terrorists were to use these thousand C4 bombs, I don’t know how many people would die.

"The sun is blazing, and an Audi is loaded with a thousand C4 bombs and driving in the desert...

“The owner of the car had a bottle of pyridoxine with him.

"Unexpectedly, I met a traffic policeman in the desert. The traffic policeman was the FBI pretending to be FBI. The owner of the car took out a farm vehicle driver's license..."

Li Teng continued to make up stories.

The more you make it up, the more outrageous it becomes.

After taking the mattress apart, I found several grease pens inside the mattress.

Then, under the mattress, on the bed board, there was a small poem written in oil-based pen.

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.

Between the two spaces, I have decided to leave.

For more than a thousand years, I have not been around to watch.

Sit quietly for a night and escape.

Li Teng was confused by this poem.

…

Putting all the clues together on the ground.

Li Teng held an oil-based pen in his hand and wrote something on the white wall from time to time, and then thought and associated.

Several hours passed and still no clue.

"The ticket fee has accumulated 140,000 points! Successful escapers will receive 70,000 points!"

An electronic sound sounded in the room.

It seems that at least ten more people bought tickets to enter the escape room game, bringing the ticket money to 140,000.

70,000 points is really tempting. In the movie city, points are hard currency.

Li Teng covered his mouth and yawned.

He was tired and sleepy now.

After drinking some toilet water, Li Teng lay down on the bed.

He decided to take a nap first, and when he was well rested and energetic tomorrow, he could continue to think about the connection between these clues.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just when Li Teng was in a trance, a huge knocking sound suddenly came from the wall.

The ground and the house began to shake.

Li Teng quickly sat up and confirmed the direction of the knocking sound.

…

Half an hour later.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

A big hole was smashed into the white wall.

Chapter 924

"Hahahaha...I finally completed the escape room! The 70,000 points belong to me!"

A man drilled out of the hole in the wall with a sledgehammer and met Li Teng's eyes as he sat up on the bed.

The man is very thin, with a rather long beard and hair that looks like a chicken coop and has not been trimmed for a long time.

The clothes were covered with something unknown, and the original color could no longer be seen.

The stench from his body...or rather the stench from the hole in the wall wafted over.

"Excuse me, are you a staff member of the awards ceremony?"

The man rubbed his darkened eyes, took two steps closer and asked Li Teng.

"I'm sorry, I'm a contestant who just came in to participate in the escape room."

Li Teng shook his head.

"Nah! No way?"

When the man heard what Li Teng said, he couldn't help but staggered. He looked around Li Teng's room, and his face suddenly turned pale. He threw away the sledgehammer in his hand, took a few steps back and leaned against the wall. Then he sat down next to the wall, and his whole body suddenly became extremely depressed.

Li Teng got out of bed, walked to the hole in the wall and looked at the man.

A stench hit my face.

It turned out that there was a room exactly like his on the other side of the hole in the wall.

The iron bed and toilet over there were dismantled, and a hole was dug in the ground where the toilet was.

"How long have you been in here?"

Li Teng came to the wall and sat down one meter away from the man.

"I don't know, it's been about ten days at least, right?" The man shook his head feebly. After discovering that this was also the contestant's room, he seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant.

The previous smashing of the wall was probably the last of his strength, and he could only hang on with one breath.

The tone has obviously dissipated now.

"Did you dismantle the toilet? Find a hammer in the septic tank?" Li Teng guessed.

The man glanced at Li Teng but said nothing.

"It seems that this road really doesn't work." Li Teng sighed.

"Brother, smash the wall over there and see if it leads to the outside of the secret room." The man pointed to the sledgehammer on the ground, then pointed to the opposite wall, and said to Li Teng.

He had just been smashing the wall for half an hour, and it had obviously exhausted all his strength.

Li Teng hesitated for a moment, then walked over and picked up the hammer.

This hammer really stinks!

Fortunately, Li Teng had experienced all kinds of situations. Even if he knew that this was a sledgehammer found in a septic tank, there would be no psychological shadow when he picked it up.

Li Teng walked over and swung the hammer against the wall.

Because he had not been here long, Li Teng still had plenty of physical strength, and the wall was not as hard as expected. After a few hammer blows, a large number of cracks appeared on the wall.

A few minutes later, Li Teng successfully punched a hole in the wall.

The thin bearded man who was sitting at the bottom of the wall on the other side struggled to run over and squeezed through the hole in the wall to the other side.

"Are you a staff member of the awards ceremony?"

The thin bearded man looked at a frightened woman sitting on the bed and asked her.

"I'm not a staff member, I'm a player."

The woman jumped out of bed, took a few steps back and answered the thin bearded man.

"Oh my god! Grass!"

The thin bearded man cursed desperately. After a moment, he suddenly rushed towards the other wall.

Brain ‘Boom! ’ He hit the wall with a loud thud.

His brain cracked and his whole body fell limply to the ground.

Then it turned into a cloud of gray mist and dispersed around.

Obviously, the skinny bearded man couldn't accept it emotionally after realizing that all his efforts were in vain, so he took a very drastic way to quit the game.

According to the rules, if you die in the secret room, you will lose the game.

You will not die after exiting the game, and your body will return to normal state. However, the thousand points purchased for the tickets will be in vain.

Li Teng looked towards the hole in the wall and saw the thin bearded man disappearing, as well as the young woman in the room.

The house over there is no different from the house here. It is also the same large house with an area of ​​more than fifty square meters and a height of five meters. The walls around it are all white.

Li Teng did not go through the hole in the wall to go to the woman's room, but went through the hole in the wall on the other side and went to the bearded man.

The bearded man died too hastily, but unfortunately, there was no chance to get any useful clues from him.

Li Teng could only go to the bearded man's room to search for him.

The room stinks so much that it makes me dizzy.

In the bearded man's room, Li Teng did not find Audi car promotional paper, medicine bottles, newspaper cuttings, oil-based pens, etc. in his pillowcase and quilt cover.

Nor was the strange poem found on the bearded man's bed.

I wonder if he lost it in the septic tank.

But the strange poem written with a grease-based pen on the bedboard shouldn’t disappear, right?

Unless, everyone gets different clues in each room?

"Did... did you find anything?"

The woman in the other room came over at some point, covered her nose, stood next to Li Teng and asked him.

"Not yet." Li Teng looked at the woman and pretended to be casual, but in fact he was on high alert.

There is competition between these people.

The woman is in her thirties, not very beautiful, but looks very smart.

Who knows if there will be a dirty trick behind his back?

"There doesn't seem to be any rules that prohibit players from exchanging clues, right?" The woman hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"Indeed, not really. It's just that the players leaving the game cannot reveal the situation in the secret room to the outside world." Li Teng nodded.

"Are you interested in exchanging information?" the woman asked Li Teng.

"Okay, let's go to your room?" Li Teng looked into the hole in the ground. He really didn't want to get into the septic tank.

"Okay, the smell over my side is slightly better, but if this hole in the wall is not blocked, it will stink as bad as here sooner or later." The woman turned around and walked towards the hole in the wall.

Li Teng waited for the woman to get through, and after confirming that she left the wall and walked to the hole in the wall, he got through the hole and returned to his room.

After returning to his room, Li Teng did not go to the woman's room immediately. Instead, he put back the wall bricks that had been smashed by the thin bearded man one by one, temporarily blocking the hole in the wall.

The septic tank is not only smelly, but also poisonous. If you smell it too much, you will definitely die quickly.

"Your room already stinks. It's best to block the wall between our rooms, otherwise my room will stink sooner or later."

The woman stood at the hole in the wall on the other side and said something to Li Teng.

"Then I've blocked the hole, how can we talk?" Li Teng came over and took a look at the hole he made in the wall.

"Come into my room, I don't want you to block me here." The woman replied to Li Teng.

"Forget it, after I finish talking to you, I will go back to my room. Then I will block the wall again." Li Teng shook his head.

"It's up to you." The woman said and went back to her room.
