Chapter 450: The Countdown Begins
Chapter 450 The countdown has begun
"If I remember correctly, the last time I played the game, except for sticky notes, all items in the game scene were rigid bodies and could not be destroyed.
"But this time, you see, I can actually carve scratches on the table with my nails."
The two tried it, and it was true. The tabletop was very hard, but they could carve faint visible scratches with their nails.
"But what's the use?"
Li Huo spread his hands and asked helplessly.
"This shows that this room can be destroyed. As long as we can destroy the structure of the house blocking us, we can leave."
"Sabotage? Instead of looking for clues? Are you sure?"
Li Huo prefers to look for clues patiently. The nightmare of being stuck in the game last time left him with lingering fears.
He wasn't sure if something stranger and more terrifying would happen if he blatantly destroyed the scene in the game.
"At least it can be considered as a guarantee? We can take a multi-pronged approach.
"On the one hand, we are looking for clues to crack the secret room. On the other hand, if we really can't find it, we can also try to violently destroy the house."
Following the steps set by the game organizer to decrypt it honestly made Meng Fei feel even more unreasonable.
Because everything is designed by the game designer behind the scenes. But the designer obviously has no good intentions towards them.
It would be foolish to follow the rules of the game if the game itself is stacked against them.
"Brothers, I have made a major discovery."
An Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, the despair on his face had been wiped away, and he said to Li Huo and Meng Fei with a cheerful face.
"What major discovery?" Li Huo asked.
"I discovered that powers can be used here!"
As he spoke, An Sheng stood up. Weird spatial fluctuations began to surround him. The muscles on his body bulged. Even under a standard professional suit, you could see quite powerful lines.
boom!
After saying that, he punched the table hard.
However, although his punch was powerful, its effect was average.
The table did not have a big hole as he expected, but a slightly dented punch mark half a millimeter deep. Some paint fell off the edge of the punch mark, revealing the silver metal material inside.
On the contrary, Mr. An covered his fists and jumped up:
"Fuck, it hurts me so much!"
What the family's superpower brings to Ansheng is physical strengthening, and it does not relieve the pain.
By the dense forest reservoir, he was able to take many heavy machine gun bullets without screaming. It was not because he didn't feel pain, it was just that he didn't have time to scream.
Li Huo scratched the traces of peeling paint, then knocked it again, and said: "This table is made of solid homogeneous chromium-manganese armor steel."
"Sick? Why does a table need to be made of steel?"
An Sheng cursed.
"etc."
Meng Fei went up and touched it. He felt that these steel materials were no different from the iron plates he had seen.
"Bureau Li, how can you identify these steel materials?"
"Before I joined the Special Abilities Department, I was doing research on armor materials in the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of War. I was transferred to the Special Abilities Department because I had super powers."
What surprised Meng Fei was not that Li Huan could understand metal.
He was surprised that this game was so real. It could even show the difference between ordinary steel plates and armored steel.
After some digging and searching, Li Huo confirmed a fact.
The entire game scene, walls, floors, and doors are almost all made of armored steel.
The tables and chairs are not movable. They are welded to the ground.
After searching all the rooms, they found no clues or props. Except for the brick-shaped alarm clock on the living room table, there was nothing moving.
Since there are no clues and no props, there is no conventional way to escape from the secret room.
Then all that is left is to rely on violence. AXA is gearing up and eager to try.
Even if they have to use violence, they must choose a suitable target. If they want to get out, it is obviously not a good idea to attack a wall that has no idea how thick it is.
From a normal perspective, they should try to destroy either the door or the window. But all the doors in this living room lead to eight rooms, and there are no external doors.
Then only the window in the room is their only target.
Choose any room and open the door. The light from the large ceiling lamp in the living room will illuminate the dark small room brightly.
But the window to the outside in the room was still dark, and the light could not penetrate at all, like a dark curtain.
Unlike the last game where the door would automatically close and lock, this time the open door would not close automatically. So the three of them could all squeeze into the small room.
Meng Fei put his finger on the window glass. From the image of his finger reflected on the glass, he could estimate the thickness of the glass to be about one centimeter.
Outside it was as dark as thick ink, and it was impossible to see anything. When I pressed my ears against the glass, I heard dead silence.
"Let me just smash this broken window out!"
Although he spoke carelessly, Ansheng still had some thoughts this time. He did not directly smash the window with his fist, but picked up the brick-shaped alarm clock he took from the living room table and smashed it.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
After a series of violent smashes, the window glass was intact, and Mr. An's violent face gradually turned into depression.
"etc!"
Although the window glass was not broken, Meng Fei seemed to hear some kind of change.
There was a ticking sound on An Sheng's hand.
Li Huo took the alarm clock from An Sheng's hand and found to his surprise that the alarm clock was no longer stationary, but started to move.
It is now 8:13 pm.
The alarm was automatically set to 8:43.
"No, the time limit has started!"
Li Huo walked back to the living room and looked at the wall. Sure enough, the big alarm clock on the wall of the living room also started running with the same setting.
Both Li Huo and Meng Fei suddenly felt that the rope around their necks was getting tighter and tighter.
The game's prompt for clearance is: "The theme of this game is escape from the escape room. If all players are alive and leave this scene within the limited time, you can clear the level."
Within a limited time! Although they knew the game had a time limit from the beginning, they didn’t know what the time limit was.
So they can only actively seize the time to search for props and find exits. But there is no sense of urgency in counting down.
It's different now, they only have half an hour left!
What happens if you haven’t cleared the level when the time is up?
Exit the game directly? Everyone dies instantly? Or is it stuck here forever? No one knows.
"But this shows that our thinking is right."
In the chaos, Meng Fei was the first to calm down and take control of the situation.
"When players first enter the game, it may take some time to adapt to the mentality, search the room, etc.
"If the time is limited from the beginning, it may cause players to panic and make it difficult to get started. The game experience will be poor.
"So they made a setting where the countdown starts when the first correct move of the player is detected?"
Chapter completed!
