Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

180: Escape smoothly! Don’t step on the white blocks!Just as Dragon Country dispatched five aircraft carriers, not hesitating to send an ultimatum directly to Jiang Yu’s private email...

Wu Tian and the other two, along with scientists from various countries, were still barely surviving in this second secret chamber...

No!

It was Wu Tian, with the scientists behind him, who was barely surviving!

Although during the previous exploration, the physical conditions of the fatty and Zhang Meng had been honed to be excellent!

But... they were still mere mortals!

In such an extremely cold environment... after a long time, their bodies also showed more or less stress reactions!

Especially Zhang Meng!

She didn’t have as much fat on her body as the fatty to resist the cold; her figure was close to perfect, meaning the lowest body fat percentage.

Even with excellent health,

in this environment of nearly thirty degrees below zero, Zhang Meng felt as if her bones were frozen!

However, even so... even the fatty!

He was also shivering from the cold, and the words he spoke came out in stutters!

“...”

“Hoo-hoo-hoo...”

“Cold!”

“So cold!”

“It’s really... really so cold!”

I have to say!

‘Fatty’ as a creature is truly the most miraculous among humans.

They are afraid of heat in summer, afraid of cold in winter, afraid of going out in spring, and afraid of wind in autumn!

At this moment, Rice... was shivering, hunched in a corner under a table.

However!

Even though they were frozen to this extent, Zhang Meng and the fatty were still in the best condition!

Japan, Romantic Country, Bear Country, and even Dragon Country!

More or less, several scientists had already fainted from the extreme low temperature.

Even more so,

a Japanese scientist was directly ‘frozen insane’!

He ran around the secret chamber, shouting and yelling.

While running, he shouted illogical and baseless words.

“...”

“Haha...”

“I feel myself warming up, I won’t freeze to death!”

“You!”

“You idiots!”

“You need to run, as long as you run, you will continuously generate heat, and as long as you generate heat, you won’t freeze to death!”

“Hahaha...”

Still running, this scientist laughed loudly at everyone staring at him.

“What are you looking at?”

“Do you think I’m a fool?”

“Hehe...”

“When you freeze to death... you’ll know who the real fool is!”

“...”

“Whoa!”

At this point, this Japanese scientist, while running, also incorporated looking around various parts of the secret chamber for clues, but... he would sometimes crouch under the table to look at the fatty, and sometimes rub against the metal walls.

This did not look like someone earnestly searching for evidence to get out of here.

Instead, he looked like a... madman!

“Sigh...”

He let out a soft sigh.

Wu Tian looked at the Japanese scientist not far away, with a hint of regret in his eyes!

“What a pity!”

“He was a labor force for our Dragon Country’s scientific research after all!”

“To die just like that...”

“What a waste!”

“...”

“Yes!”

A Dragon Country scientist looked at the Japanese scientist, who was running slower and slower in the secret chamber, sighed, and shook his head.

“Once a person stays in an extremely cold environment for too long, their brain will develop problems, and their judgment and sense of direction will become extremely poor!”

“This Japanese scientist...”

“He must have already lost his most basic judgment!”

“...”

“Sigh!”

Saying that,

this Dragon Country scientist sighed.

“When he can no longer run and stops, that will be his time of death.”

“What a pity!”

“...”

“Indeed!”

“It is a pity.”

“Fourteen hundred million people...”

Wu Tian nodded.

Then he shrugged indifferently and looked at the Dragon Country scientist who had just been speaking beside him.

He saw that the latter and scientists from other countries were huddled together, their faces frozen blue as they nodded to Wu Tian. Even though everyone was practically embracing each other, they still couldn’t resist such high temperatures, and many scientists’ eyes were somewhat narrowed.

Their spirits were scattered!

It seemed that in the next moment... they would completely lose consciousness.

Wu Tian felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

For no other reason than these Dragon Country scientists, Wu Tian would absolutely not allow any problems to befall them... Looking at the surrounding sealed walls, and the wall caves continuously spraying cold air.

Wu Tian frowned.

He had thought about using his miniature nuclear fusion to forcibly open an exit.

But... there were four walls, a bottom surface, and a ceiling!

In such a place where the door was not clearly marked... he dared not act rashly!

Firstly, miniature nuclear fusion has immense power, but also immense consumption.

He could at most create three such nuclear fusion mini-suns.

Secondly... he didn’t want to expose too many of his trump cards too early in front of Jin Li.

The enemy is hidden, I am exposed!

The secret chamber was still under the enemy’s control!

Wu Tian had already angered this controller, and he didn’t want this person to know his strongest trump card so quickly.

Thus allowing him to take precautions!

If Jin Li made adjustments targeting his abilities in the next secret realm,

then... that would be a true dead end!

So... Wu Tian once again turned his gaze to the Black Bear with its bright eyes, holding the lollipop and dried beef in his hand, and walked quickly towards the latter.

“Shhh...”

“Thump-thump!”

Stopping in front of this Black Bear.

Wu Tian once again took out the lollipop and dried beef in front of the latter, shaking them as he spoke to the latter.

“Hey!”

“Little brother!”

“I know you can understand what I’m saying.”

“No one can threaten you now!”

“It’s very simple now...”

“As long as you tell me the clue, I’ll give you all these delicious things!”

“How about it?”

“Fair trade?”

After speaking, Wu Tian even winked at the latter.

The packaging of the food in Wu Tian’s hand crinkled with a ‘crunch’ as he rubbed it. This audible temptation indeed made the Black Bear waver a bit.

“...”

However... the Black Bear seemed to remember something.

Its bright eyes quickly darted around a few times, as if thinking, or perhaps hesitating.

A few seconds later,

the Black Bear raised its mechanical right paw and carved words on the surface.

“No... way...”

“This... is against the rules...”

“...”

“Rules?”

Wu Tian looked at the words the Black Bear wrote on the ground and let out a soft laugh.

He shook the snacks in his hand again.

He spoke to the Black Bear in a seductive tone.

“What are rules?”

“Rules are for us to get clues and leave this secret chamber, aren’t they?”

“This...”

“You can’t deny it, can you?”

“...”

The Black Bear was stunned.

Then its eyes lit up, and it gave Wu Tian a look of approval.

Then... the Black Bear slowly extended its right hand and pulled the lollipop and dried beef from Wu Tian’s hand onto the ground, then slowly dug them under its butt and hid them.

Only then did it close its eyes contentedly and smile.

Then it used its right paw to carve words on the ice again!

“Creak...”

“Creak...”

The harsh sound of sharp bear claws rubbing against the ice surface rang out, and in Wu Tian’s expectant gaze,

two lines of text slowly appeared before Wu Tian.

The first line of text was very short!

It was ‘There are gods three feet above your head!’

The second line was slightly longer, and as Wu Tian patiently waited, one by one, ice characters were written by the Black Bear’s claw.

“The most impossible place, the simplest is also the hardest, it is unsolvable and yet effortless!”

“...”

“Swish!”

After writing these two lines of text, the Black Bear seemed to have exhausted the energy in its body.

It slowly closed its eyes.

The liveliness it had also slowly disappeared with its hibernation!

“Hmm?”

“There are gods three feet above your head...”

“The most impossible place?”

“The simplest and also the hardest?”

“Unsolvable and yet effortless?”

“This...”

Looking at the sleeping Black Bear, Wu Tian, who was beside it, slowly fell into silence.

While mumbling the two sentences in his mouth,

Wu Tian reached out and pulled open the Black Bear’s butt.

From under its butt, he once again pulled out the lollipop and dried beef.

The dried beef was put into Wu Tian’s pocket.

As for the lollipop, after he unwrapped it, he put it into his mouth.

While feeling the sweet taste on his tongue,

Wu Tian pondered the meaning hidden behind these two sentences.

“...”

“What the heck?!”

The fatty, who had come over at some point, suddenly stared wide-eyed at Wu Tian, who was happily licking a lollipop while pondering a problem.

For a moment... the fatty’s brain crashed a bit.

“Boss...”

“What are you doing?”

“How could...”

The fatty asked Wu Tian as tactfully as possible.

“Can something given to someone else be taken back?”

“Isn’t that against etiquette?”

“...”

“Pfft!”

Wu Tian spat disdainfully at the fatty beside him, his face showing contempt as he spoke to the fatty.

“What do you know?!”

“First, don’t even mention that this Black Bear can’t eat this stuff at all. Even if he could eat it, do you think he can eat it now?”

Bang!

Saying that,

Wu Tian also reached out and patted the Black Bear’s head.

He said to the fatty,

“This is just a tool!”

“A tool!”

“A tool must have the awareness of a tool, not to mention it’s a Kimchi Country tool Black Bear. Its bloodline determines that it’s not a good thing!”

“Do you understand?”

“...”

“Ah...”

“This...”

“Aba aba!”

The fatty looked at Wu Tian blankly, then slowly raised his thumb in admiration.

He took a deep breath and said to the latter,

“Whew...”

“Awesome!”

“Boss, I just love this about you!”

“Hating evil like fire, clear in gratitude and grudges, unique in thinking, upright and incorruptible...”

“Pfft!”

“Forget it!”

“I can’t make it up anymore!”

As the fatty spoke, his face suddenly turned exasperated.

“Boss!”

“You must be a Level 10 Master of Bridge Demolition Engineering, and a seasoned rebel player in Three Kingdoms Kill, right?”

“Otherwise, how could you play ‘crossing the river and demolishing the bridge’ so smoothly?”

“...”

“Hmph!”

“Less nonsense!”

Wu Tian snapped at the fatty impatiently, pulling the fatty’s chubby body closer with a slap, and pointing to the two lines of text on the ground, he said to the fatty,

“Look at this!”

“Explain, what does it mean!”

“This is the clue for us to get out!”

“...”

The fatty was startled.

Then he squinted his eyes and looked at the two lines of text carved on the ice surface.

At the same time, he mumbled to himself.

“...”

“Hmm?”

“There’s a clue?”

Just as Wu Tian and the fatty were carefully examining the two lines of text on the ground, Zhang Meng, not far away, rubbed her shoulders and walked towards the two of them.

She looked down at the two lines of text on the ice surface.

“Oh?”

“Was this written by that Black Bear just now?”

“Yes!”

Wu Tian nodded.

While eating the lollipop, he asked Zhang Meng indistinctly,

“How about it?”

“Have you found any clues?”

“We don’t have much time. If we don’t find an exit soon, I’m afraid these scientists of ours won’t be able to hold on!”

“When they can’t hold on, I’m afraid I’ll have no choice but to use that ability...”

As Wu Tian spoke,

a hint of cold light flickered in his eyes.

“If that ability is used so early, we might find it very difficult to get through the next stage.”

“So...”

Clang, clang.

Wu Tian reached out and knocked on the ice surface in front of him.

“Within five minutes, we solve this clue and take everyone out!”

“This is our last chance!”

“...”

“Okay.”

Zhang Meng nodded, then frowned, looking at the two lines of text on the ground, her mind racing!

”Look up...”

”Three feet?”

”There are gods?”

”Look up... look up...”

”Huh?!”

Suddenly!

Zhang Meng, who had been muttering to herself, immediately looked up at the ceiling above her head, her eyes scanning the metallic ceiling.

After a long while... Zhang Meng’s eyes narrowed, and she pointed to a certain spot on the ceiling, shouting to the fatty and Wu Tian beside her.

”Quick!”

”You two, look over there!”

”There!”

Zhang Meng pointed to a spot in the middle of the four tables and said to Wu Tian and the other.

”Right above the empty space in the middle of those four tables.”

”There’s a carving that’s the same color as the ceiling!”

”If you don’t look carefully, you really can’t see it!”

”...”

”Oh?”

”Let me see?”

Wu Tian and the fatty were stunned, then also looked in the direction Zhang Meng was pointing.

Indeed!

As the two looked closely.

On the ceiling over there, a small sculpture indeed appeared. Although the color of this sculpture was already very difficult to distinguish from the color of the ceiling, observing it with narrowed eyes.

Wu Tian still clearly saw what the sculpture looked like.

It was a statue with eight arms and a large rosary around its neck. If one were to distinguish it by its kasaya and some details... this was a wrathful Vajra from Buddhism!

It could be considered a deity!

Then... Wu Tian’s heart stirred.

”Look up three feet, there are gods!”

Does it mean?

The location of this deity is the key to unlocking this secret room?

”Let’s go!”

”We’ll go take a look!”

”...”

Not daring to waste any more time.

Wu Tian directly led Zhang Meng and the fatty behind him to the space next to these four tables. Under the bewildered gazes of a group of scientists, Wu Tian and the two others quickly moved the tables, trying to stack the four tables together in a reasonable way.

So that Wu Tian could reach the deity on the ceiling.

And watching Wu Tian and the two’s actions.

A Japanese scientist said weakly.

”Sigh...”

”I regret not retreating, retreating into the cage. Now that I’m in this place, I can’t call on heaven or earth!”

”And this team leader Wu Tian, who looks very strong!”

”Although this person is strangely not afraid of the cold, his mind seems to have broken...”

”Why stack the tables so high?”

”To touch the ceiling?”

”He’s crazy!”

”...”

”Yes!”

”Wu Tian... what is Wu Tian looking for?”

”Why is he still so unhurried?”

”He’s not cold, but we’re almost freezing to death!”

”Sigh...”

”This was a mistake!”

”If there was a regret pill, I would rather go back into the cage, even if I never get out for the rest of my life, I would be willing!”

A Bear Country female scientist said with some despair.

She couldn’t help but hug herself even tighter.

”...”

And as the Japanese scientist’s weak cursing ceased, a Romantic Country scientist leaning on him glared at him weakly, struggling to lean his body against the Dragon Country scientist beside him.

He said contemptuously.

”You...”

”You better shut up!”

”You shorty from the East!”

”I haven’t seen you move around to look for clues, you’re just blabbering here!”

”Aren’t you annoying?”

”If you want to live, shut your mouth and don’t disturb Wu Tian!”

”Damn it...”

The big-nosed Romantic Country scientist immediately spat at the Japanese scientist in annoyance.

”Pah!”

”If I weren’t so weak right now, I’d slap you twice and make your sarcastic dog shut your dog mouth!”

”...”

The Japanese scientist was stunned.

Then he silently lowered his head and weakly wiped the saliva from his face.

Deep in his eyes... looking at the Romantic Country scientist and Wu Tian and the two others beside him... a strong resentment flashed!

”There will be a time...”

”I will make you pay the price!”

”...”

...”How is it?”

”Any discoveries?”

Zhang Meng looked up at Wu Tian above her, asking him.

”...”

”Not yet!”

Wu Tian’s faint voice came down from above Zhang Meng and the fatty’s heads.

Immediately... Wu Tian began to search more quickly on the ceiling above.

But!

No matter what!

No matter how Wu Tian searched, he couldn’t find any clues near this statue.

Let alone the location of any mechanism.

”...”

”That’s not right!”

Looking at this unremarkable statue, which didn’t even have the slightest mechanism, Wu Tian frowned slightly.

He had pushed it, he had twisted it!

Wu Tian had even tried methods of destruction!

But... this statue showed no change at all.

And the ceiling didn’t make any sound.

This made Wu Tian can’t help but frown. Could it be that his way of opening it was wrong?

Then what kind of method should he use?

”...”

For a moment, Wu Tian was also at a loss, falling into anxious thought.

Suddenly!

The fatty, who was standing on the ground, let out a soft ”eh.”

”Eh?”

”Boss!”

Friendly reminder: The website is about to be revised, which may cause loss of reading progress. Please save your ”Bookshelf” and ”Reading History” in time (screenshots are recommended). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!

”Does this statue look a bit strange around it?”

”Why...”

”Does one of his eight hands look a little different?”

”Oh?”

Wu Tian was stunned.

Then, according to the fatty’s words, he looked at the statue’s eight hands.

After this careful observation, Wu Tian realized that he had been too engrossed in the clues near the statue before, and had overlooked the clues on the statue itself.

Just as the fatty said!

Among the eight hands on this statue, seven of them had exactly the same posture.

But... one hand had a distinctly different posture.

If he had to say what the difference was... Wu Tian narrowed his eyes!

Perhaps... the other seven hands were all slightly clasped together, making a gesture of performing a magical incantation, while this one hand alone was extended at a strange angle towards the direction the statue’s head was facing, which was Wu Tian’s direction.

At first glance!

It seemed to be inviting Wu Tian to take his hand.

”This?”

Wu Tian hesitated slightly.

Then he directly reached out and took the outstretched hand of this wrathful Vajra, and then, holding that hand, began to slowly exert force.

”...”

One-third force... two-thirds force... full force!

The force Wu Tian’s right hand was applying to this wrathful Vajra had already reached one-third of his strength, but!

This still failed to budge the wrathful Vajra in the slightest!

Wu Tian was immediately surprised.

One-third force!

Although it seemed like only a slight effort.

But it also depended on who was exerting the force!

Perhaps for others, one-third force was only a dozen or so catties, or dozens of catties of strength.

But for Wu Tian!

One-third!

This was his strength of up to 300 kilograms in a non-gene-locked state!

Such great strength... couldn’t even make such a small statue budge an inch?

Even!

This small statue didn’t even deform a little?

Wu Tian’s eyes widened.

He was instantly delighted instead of surprised!

He reached out and grabbed this wrathful Vajra, pulling harder!

”...”

Four-tenths force!

Five-tenths force!

”Screech...”

”Creak creak!”

When Wu Tian’s right hand pulled on this statue with more than five-tenths force but less than six-tenths force... the statue itself emitted a soft sound of being overwhelmed.

And the object connected to the statue slowly moved downwards with Wu Tian’s right hand.

”Boom boom...”

”Boom boom!”

Just as Wu Tian applied a full eight-tenths force to this wrathful Vajra... the wrathful Vajra statue finally moved on its own.

”Screech...”

”Screech!”

The sound of metal rubbing against metal rang out. The statue, along with a metal pillar of the same side length that was integral to it, slowly extended down from the ceiling, then stopped in mid-air where Wu Tian’s feet were.

Then... the metal pillar with the wrathful Vajra paused for a few seconds.

It seemed as if it hadn’t found the Target it was looking for.

The metal pillar, which had already been pulled out by Wu Tian, slowly retracted back into the ceiling above.

This... left Wu Tian and the fatty and others bewildered.

Could this kind of mechanism... go back in?

He hadn’t even clearly seen what this mechanism did or what it looked like, why was it not letting him see it now? How could he find an exit then?

Thinking this, Wu Tian was unwilling.

He reached out to pull the wrathful Vajra, which had retracted halfway.

He wanted to keep this wrathful Vajra and the pillar behind it in mid-air.

However... just as Wu Tian grabbed the metal pillar and was about to exert force!

Zhang Meng, who was standing on the ground, suddenly spoke.

”...”

”Brother Tian, don’t worry about it for now!”

”You can pull this pillar out whenever you want, let’s figure out what the second clue means. I think the bottleneck we’re currently facing must be related to that second hint!”

”...”

Wu Tian was stunned.

Then he nodded and jumped down from the table.

Looking at the fatty and Zhang Meng beside him, he repeated.

”That sentence goes like this...”

”The most impossible place, the simplest is also the most difficult, it is unsolvable yet effortless!”

”This long sentence contains three short sentences.”

”I estimate...”

”Each of these short sentences is a clue!”

”...”

Wu Tian didn’t refute, but after listening carefully to Zhang Meng’s analysis, he pondered the meaning of these three sentences very carefully.

”The most impossible place.”

Wu Tian blinked.

”It should be referring to the ceiling above our heads!”

”Then what about ’the simplest is also the most difficult’?”

Wu Tian rubbed his face with his hand.

He quietly repeated this sentence, carefully thinking about it in his mind.

”The simplest?”

”Also the most difficult?”

”What kind of event can possess such extremely opposing yet harmoniously unified attributes?”

”...”

”Simple?”

”Difficult?!”

”...”

”Huh?!”

Suddenly, Wu Tian looked up at the wrathful Vajra statue that had retracted to its original position above his head. Now, the latter had returned to its initial appearance, with seven hands forming mudras, and one hand extended remotely towards Wu Tian on the ground.

It seemed to be inviting the latter to join hands.

Immediately, it became mysterious and eerie.

”I know!”

Looking at the statue of the wrathful Vajra, a hint of excitement appeared at the corners of Wu Tian’s mouth.

”...”

”Know what?”

”That’s right!”

”If you know, hurry up and say it!”

”Boss...”

”Don’t keep us in suspense!”

Hearing Wu Tian’s sudden realization, Zhang Meng and the fatty immediately rolled their eyes and asked Wu Tian beside them in annoyance.

”Hurry up and say it!”

”Right!”

”Hurry up and say it!”

”...”

”Cough cough...”

Wu Tian smiled slightly, and said with a laugh to Zhang Meng and the fatty beside him.

”I only remembered it just now when I saw the wrathful Vajra’s hand again.”

”The first, ’the most impossible place’!”

”Doesn’t this correspond perfectly to the position of the ceiling?”

”The second...”

Wu Tian smiled slightly.

He got to the crucial point.

”The simplest is also the most difficult.”

”Think about it, if you discover something on the ceiling, what’s your first reaction?”

”It’s to push it, or shake it from side to side.”

”Then it’s to pull it down, right?”

”This is the simplest!”

”Things that can be solved by ordinary common sense are the simplest.”

”...”

”So what is the hardest part?”

The fatty nodded.

He continued to ask Wu Tian.

”Hard?”

”The difficulty lies in the fact that this Raging Vajra really isn’t something an ordinary person can pull, in fact, it can be said that less than five people in the entire world can pull this statue, and I’m probably the only one in the world who can pull it so easily.”

”But...”

Wu Tian chuckled.

”These people exclude those who have been modified and then mutated.”

”So!”

Wu Tian said with certainty.

”This is the hardest part!”

”...”

”Hmm.”

”Reasonable and convincing, but...”

Zhang Meng asked.

”What about that last sentence...”

”Is it unsolvable, or is it easy?”

”This sentence...”

”How should it be understood?”

”...”

Wu Tian frowned!

Although he had no clue, he still thought about it in the same way he solved the previous problem.

He mumbled to himself.

He stared blankly at the three tables put together in front of him.

”Unsolvable!”

”Easy, another opposite.”

”What does it mean?”

”What exactly does it mean?”

”...”

As Wu Tian mumbled to himself, his eyes unconsciously wandered over the three tables in front of him. Just as Wu Tian was about to scratch his head in frustration.

Suddenly!

His peripheral vision... caught a strange, hollow space carved into the table!

”This is...”

Wu Tian was startled.

He immediately suppressed the anxiety in his heart and slowly walked towards the hollow space in the table.

Then... Wu Tian reached out and slowly caressed the hollow space.

The shape of the hollow space... slowly appeared in Wu Tian’s hand.

The hollow space had sharp edges and corners, yet some parts were strangely shaped.

No matter how much he studied it, it wasn’t a complete object; it seemed to need something else to be pieced together around it.

Wu Tian was stunned.

Then a bold idea appeared in his mind.

He strode towards the other three tables.

He searched carefully.

After a long time... ”...”

”Hahahahaha!”

”I know!”

”I know!”

”Unsolvable!”

”The unsolvable part is that if you don’t observe this pattern, you won’t even connect the possibilities to these four tables, and you won’t discover the mystery on these four tables at all!”

”The simplest!”

”Haha...”

At this point, Wu Tian smiled slightly at Zhang Meng and the fatty beside him, as well as the scientists not far away.

”Of course, it’s just a puzzle with only four pieces. This thing is too simple, anyone with hands can do it!”

”So...”

”This represents ease!”

”Easily...”

”You can piece together the key clues!”

”Hahaha!”

”So escape rooms are this fun?”

”No danger at all and so exciting, really good, ah haha, the designer of this escape room is really good!”

”Thank you!”

”...”

”Cough cough...”

Listening to Wu Tian’s happy voice, the fatty beside him lightly coughed twice to interrupt Wu Tian’s self-admiration and said to the latter.

”Boss, don’t drag it out, let’s get started!”

”Look!”

”Look at the scientists behind you, they’re almost done for!”

”And look at Sister Meng and me...”

The fatty said resentfully.

”We’re both almost frozen stiff!”

”Hurry up!”

”Hurry up and open this escape room, let’s get out of here quickly!”

”...”

”Okay!”

Wu Tian nodded, and then the three of them worked together, aligning all the irregular hollows on the four tables to form the original appearance of the hollow.

Then... click!

Click!

Under the gaze of Wu Tian and the other two.

As the irregular hollows of the four tables touched, rivets and notches popped out, automatically connecting the four tables tightly together.

And the connected tables faced upwards.

Revealing the perfectly fitting hollow that could accommodate the Raging Vajra.

Then... Wu Tian jumped onto the table and reached up to grab the Raging Vajra above his head.

As the force increased!

”Screech...”

”Screech!”

The familiar sound of metal friction rang out again, but this time it was different... the statue of the Raging Vajra slowly descended into the hollow on the tabletop as Wu Tian pulled it, and then... thud!

It sank perfectly into the hollow.

Then... thud-thud-thud... thud!

Thud-thud-thud!

A series of dull mechanical turning sounds rang out in everyone’s ears, and then... under the gaze of scientists from various countries.

The metal square pillar where the Raging Vajra statue was located, at the position where Wu Tian and the other two stood, slowly pressed down onto the entire table formed by the four tables.

Click!

The opposite side sank!

Then... this metal square pillar, as if twisting a key, turned towards the four tables on the ground.

Thud!

A soft click.

This metal square pillar directly rotated one hundred and twenty degrees!

Thud!

Thud!

As sounds of machinery and metal friction echoed from this secret room, the metal square pillar gradually detached.

The metal on the four sides of the original position of the metal square pillar pulled apart.

Then a silver ladder was lowered from the space above their heads.

Waiting for everyone to step up!

”...”

”Let’s go!”

”scientists from various countries.”

Wu Tian whispered to the scientists who had already stood up excitedly from the ground.

”Dragon Country first, Ulan Country next.”

”Then Bear Country, Japan, and finally Romantic Country bringing up the rear!”

”Hurry up!”

”If you don’t want to freeze to death, quicken your steps and get out of here!”

”...”

”Okay!”

”Okay, okay, okay!”

”Big Brother Wu Tian, we’re coming out now!”

”Hahahaha...”

”I knew it!”

”I said it! Big Brother Wu Tian will definitely find a way to get us out. Following Big Brother Wu Tian is the wisest choice.”

”Hehe...”

”Really!”

”I’ve never admired anyone so much in my life!”

”It’s Big Brother Wu Tian!”

”Big Brother Wu Tian made me feel like I could admire someone!”

”Great!”

”In such a desperate situation, it feels really good to have someone to rely on!”

”...”

As the team moved forward, the Japanese scientist, who had just been calling Wu Tian a good-for-nothing who couldn’t find a way out, loudly flattered Wu Tian. These extremely shameless words reached the ears of the other scientists.

They were all disgusted.

They instinctively moved away from this Japanese scientist... ”Sizzle...”

As Wu Tian and the other two, bringing up the rear, also stepped onto this silver ladder and disappeared at the end of the ladder, they stepped into the darkness ahead.

Then!

Click!

Click!

Click!

The sound of switches being turned on rang out.

Everyone’s eyes immediately lit up.

Then, another secret room appeared before everyone’s eyes!

Compared to the previous secret room... this secret room was unusually simple!

Overall, only a long corridor appeared before everyone.

However... this corridor was lit with eerie black lights, and it was divided into rectangular white blocks, quietly arranged on the floor of this long corridor.

Everyone was puzzled.

They immediately started whispering to each other!

”...”

”What is this thing?”

”Why is it so strange?”

”Yeah!”

”Why would anyone use black floor lights to decorate the floor? Doesn’t it look scary, isn’t it eerie?”

”...”

”Who says it isn’t?”

”And this corridor is so narrow and so long.”

”This escape, won’t it just be walking through here?”

”Hiss...”

”Is there something extraordinary under the black floor of this secret room?”

”...”

”Don’t scare people!”

”I’m already a little scared now!”

”These black lights are really too eerie, I really have a very ominous premonition!”

”...”

Just as everyone was discussing everything about this secret room, Jin Li’s voice, through the loudspeaker, appeared again in this enclosed space.

”Hahahahaha!”

”Welcome...”

”My friends!”

”First of all, I want to congratulate you on successfully passing the last deadly escape room and reaching this level. At the same time, I am also very happy to tell you that this is the final level!”

”In other words...”

Jin Li’s voice slowly deepened.

Full of eeriness.

”As long as you can pass this level, you will have successfully escaped and can return to your country!”

”Hehe...”

”Naturally, you can also reunite with your families!”

”Are you tempted?”

”...”

Watching all the scientists gradually become excited by his words through the monitor, Jin Li smiled with satisfaction, then said to the crowd in the third secret room.

”Of course!”

”Some people are willing to take risks and go out, while others are not. They value their lives more.”

”We respect everyone’s choice!”

”So...”

”We have prepared a big gift for everyone who has experienced two secret rooms. Everyone... please look behind you!”

Sizzle... As Jin Li’s voice fell.

A sound of metal friction came from behind them.

Then everyone quickly turned around.

They looked at the space behind this metal door!

Instantly!

Everyone was stunned!

”Hehe...”

”Are you familiar with it?”

Looking at the bewildered and surprised expressions of these people, Jin Li was very satisfied, and then said to everyone through the microphone.

”That’s right!”

”This is the cage you were in before. How about it, I’ll give each of you one more chance!”

”After the cruelty you’ve experienced, you can still choose to be sensible!”

”After all...”

”Only by being sensible can you live!”

”...”

As Jin Li’s words fell, all the scientists fell into a moment of silence.

Their current choice could be called a step away.

One step, life!

One step, death!

One step, freedom; one step, hell!

This... was a very difficult decision to make.

After thinking for a long time... a scientist tentatively asked Jin Li.

”Then...”

”Sir, before we choose, could you please explain this secret room to us? At least... tell us the name of this secret room?”

”...”

”Alright!”

Jin Li said with a smile.

”The name of this secret room is — Don’t Step on the White Tiles!”

”The price of stepping on a white tile...”

”Is death!”
