Chapter 509 Sustainability
Somewhere in the maze, behind a corner, is a lush bush full of colorful flowers.
In the middle of these flowers, a high platform surrounded by a huge treasure chest.
This kind of place appears deep in the maze, no matter how you look at it, it seems like a reward for adventurers. But if you don''t have the brain to open it...
A mechanical dog walked into the flowers with light steps. Halfway through, he was suddenly entangled by a large number of vines gushing out of the flowers. The colorful flowers also changed their previous beautiful appearance, twisted one by one, and became several times bigger. They turned sharp teeth out of the flower''s heart and began to bite the mechanical dog.
With the creaking sound, the metal armor could not resist the teeth of the strange flower. Seeing that it was about to be swallowed up, the mechanical dog''s head suddenly lit up a red light, and then a rumbling explosion exploded, blowing out a charred open space in the flower field. But soon, the vacant space was filled with the surrounding flower vines.
"It seems that the guardians this time are these human-eating flowers..." Sun Xiaowei looked at Old Yuan: "Flowers and plants are most afraid of fire."
"No..." Luo Jun shook his head: "Do you remember to put on a treasure chest? After being smashed by Ma Qiao''s energy, the things inside also disappeared. This treasure chest is not invincible, and setting fire is too dangerous."
"What should I do?" Sun Xiaowei looked around: "This sea of ??flowers is so big that even steel can be bitten. Let''s walk in rashly, and the qi may not be able to be defended."
"I''ll go." Old Yuan volunteered: "The average qi cannot do it, my qi of Condensation Yuan can definitely withstand it."
"No!" Luo Jun immediately denied: "Let me do it."
"You can''t do it even more!" Old Yuan hurriedly stopped him. Although he knew that Luo Jun''s Ningyuan Qi was stronger than him, he believed that Luo Jun was not yet exposed his strength, so along the way, he encountered monsters that Old Yuan and Ma Qiao were all dealt with, and he tried not to let Luo Jun take action. Anyway, he can easily deal with the Class A monster. The maze monster is not strong enough, and Luo Jun can''t take action at all.
"Don''t worry, Mr. Yuan." Luo Jun gave his master a look, came to the flower field, took out a pair of shoes from the treasure box and replaced it, then looked at the treasure chest on the central platform of the flower field, and suddenly stomped his feet.
brush!
Luo Jun''s figure disappeared and appeared on the central platform almost at the same time, standing next to the treasure chest.
As soon as he appeared, the flowers around the treasure chest immediately surged, and countless vines began to grow wildly and spread towards the high platform. But Luo Jun didn''t give them a chance, so he carried the treasure chest, stomped his feet, and teleported it back with a swish, and placed the treasure chest on the ground.
"You can teleport!" Sun Xiaowei said in surprise: "There are not many treasures that can flash, not to mention that the distance is not close, so the grade must be quite high, right?"
Luo Jun smiled: "I found it in the black market..."
The pair of instant steps boots were taken off the Hell Creek family, and the effect was that they could teleport three times in a row, up to 100 meters each time. I haven''t had a chance to wear it before, but this time it came in handy.
"Come and see what''s inside!" Ma Qiao said excitedly, rubbing his hands.
They detected three treasure chests in total. The first one opened three silver ingots and a pile of copper coins, which cost nearly 4,000 yuan. The second one was accidentally damaged by Ma Qiao. I don’t know what to do.
Luo Jun opened the treasure chest and a ray of light lit up. He saw a transparent crystal ball the size of a palm was placed inside. There was a pointer floating inside, pointing obliquely in a direction, and there was a string of numbers under the pointer.
"What is this?" The few people looked at each other. There was a note under the crystal ball, which read the function of this thing.
Origin pointer: No matter where you are, the pointer will always point to the initial location where the player enters the endless maze and indicate his distance from the place.
Injected vital energy can be activated, consumes five breaths per minute, which can guide the nearest road to the origin.
"Instruct the original location?" Sun Xiaowei frowned and said, "Isn''t that the big room with twelve doors? What''s the use of indicating this? Can we go back?"
"At least it can be convenient to position." Luo Jun played with the crystal ball: "It probably knows his relative position in the maze..."
Luo Jun looked at the number below the pointer, "That is to say, the big room with twelve doors is more than 80,000 meters away from us in this direction... more than 80 kilometers?"
"We have looked back a long way." Sun Xiaowei said: "If we count the more than 100 kilometers we ran before, our longest distance from the origin may exceed 200 kilometers... How big is this maze?"
"Endless, maybe it''s really infinite." Luo Jun put away the pointer and took out the camera: "Let''s go ahead, there are still a few monsters that haven''t been cleaned up."
To put it short, everyone rushed out for an hour, and finally spent two days when they came back to clear the encounter points. All the supplies they had redeemed before were eaten up.
But Luo Jun was not in a hurry and waited until the generous one was about to refresh before he came to the last store with an empty stomach.
After knocking on the window, he threw a lot of ingots and copper coins in front of him without waiting for the fat businessman to greet him.
"Swap all of them into money!"
Seeing this pile of treasures, the fat businessman''s eyes were straightened. He quickly calculated the quantity and finally exchanged Luo Jun for more than 12,700 yuan.
At this time, Luo Jun took out the Generoser Badge and exchanged it for three thousand, exchanged it for ten parts of supplies. When the cooling arrived, exchanged it for ten parts, and then left the store with satisfaction.
Since then, the team has a total of twenty pieces of supplies, more than 14,000 banknotes, seven relics, two casual maps, one origin pointer, and a gold ingot with unknown purpose.
These things are quite large and not convenient to carry normally, but Luo Jun has a smart equipment bag, so storing items is not a problem at all.
Looking at the abundant supplies, the few people were a little dazed at one point.
The endless maze, the extremely difficult challenge that no one has succeeded so far, has actually been played into a farming game? This is not about survival, it is clearly about sustainability!
Although the maze looks endless now and there is no hope of going out, at least with Luo Jun''s routine, there is basically no need to worry about survival issues.
But even so, you can''t stay here forever. The endless maze is too big, and it''s nowhere to be found...
"It seems that there seems to be no other way except to save money to exchange for export indicators." Sun Xiaowei looked at the food in front of her. Although the food category of each serving of goods was rich and delicious and was often changed, she had no appetite at all.
"Don''t worry, senior sister, I can always go out." Luo Jun bit his chicken leg and encouraged him.
"But I want to take a shower..." Sun Xiaowei complained.
It has been more than four days since I came in. Although I have no shortage of food and have basic toiletries in the supplies, not taking a bath for more than four days is still a torture for this girl who loves to be clean.
Although several men didn''t care much, she always felt that she was starting to get bad...
"This condition can only be overcome." Ma Qiao smiled and said, "Of course, there is water here. If you want to wash it, we won''t stop it. I promise not to peek." "You think beautifully!" Sun Xiaowei glared at him.
"I heard Caroline mention that there seems to be a hotel-like place in this maze." Old Yuan suddenly said, "She seems to have seen a luxury hotel where she can stay in a bath, but the tickets are very expensive. She missed it when she had no money. When she killed a few monsters and came back, the store would be gone."
"Eh? Is there really?" Sun Xiaowei''s eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Senior sister, do you still want to go out?" Luo Jun poured cold water on her: "Didn''t you hear Mr. Yuan say that the tickets are very expensive?"
"Please beg me for good brother..." Sun Xiaowei begged, "Just buy me a ticket... When you go out, you have something to ask for your senior sister, and your senior sister will agree to you with everything!"
Luo Jun waved his hand and said, "Don''t say it''s too full, let''s talk about it when you meet it. And it''s all a matter of whether we can go out..."
Luo Jun refused while looking at the camera.
"What are you watching?" As if he wanted to get close to him, Sun Xiaowei came to Luo Jun and found that he had intercepted the videos he had recorded into small segments and flipped them up and down.
"What are you doing? Haven''t we confirmed all these places?" Sun Xiaowei said in confusion.
"We only confirmed the special locations marked on the map." Luo Jun explained: "You forgot to mention the map''s description that the exit location cannot be marked on this map. What if there is an exit where we pass?"
"Then what''s the use of dividing the video into these small segments?" Sun Xiaowei continued to ask.
"I divide it into small sections, screening it one by one. If you find any suspicious parts, mark it out, so it will be easier to find it back." Luo Jun explained.
"Wow, junior brother, you are so reliable!" Sun Xiaowei gave a thumbs up: "Can such a reliable junior meet the senior sister''s small requirements?"
Luo Jun squinted her: "Let''s talk about it when you meet it."
"Then I will think you agree!" Sun Xiaowei returned to her seat with a smile, and then picked up the chicken legs, and suddenly felt that it became much more delicious.
Luo Jun sighed, his fingers tugging those videos...
He divided the video so many segments, not because of the so-called convenience of searching. As I said just now, the exit cannot be displayed in this map. Even if he blinds his eyes, he will not see anything he does not have. The reason for this is actually for other purposes.
Luo Jun stroked his finger and the dozens of videos divided began to scroll quickly along the list, and he set up a loop scrolling, and he would not stop just because he rolled to the end.
“Tianji Dice!”
"Click on the map to include videos of the exit location!"
That’s right, Luo Jun’s real purpose is to rely on the leader of Tianji to find an exit!
If he happened to pass by while running all the way and the exit was swept in by the map, then using this method, the exit position could be locked within a few kilometers!
At that time, it would be much easier to find it again!
However, things were not as smooth as he thought.
"Ding, this incident is an inevitable event and cannot be judged."
It seems that it hasn''t passed by, and it''s really not that easy to find an exit...
Luo Jun sighed and put down the video recorder.
At this time, everyone was basically full and full. Mr. Yuan looked at the leftover food and the abundant supplies in the storage space, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Let''s contact others."
"What are you doing?" Ma Qiao asked.
"It''s been four or five days since we came in. We have food and drinks, and the other people don''t know what the situation is. Even if the practitioners have stronger physical strength than ordinary people, they will be weak if they don''t eat for four or five days." Old Yuan sighed: "I think we can share some supplies for them. Anyway, we have the strategy of maps and Luo Xiao, so we don''t have to worry about supplies for the time being."
Everyone has no objection to this. After all, if one more person survives, one more chance to find an exit. But the key is that so many days have passed, and no one knows where they have gone. How can they meet with others?
"Don''t we have an origin pointer?" Yuan said, "Use the pointer to indicate it and go back to the origin. This is the only convergence point that everyone has the chance to find."
No one had any objection. After a simple cleaning, Mr. Yuan took out the talisman paper and lit it, and sent a message.
The specific content is that they now have sufficient supplies. If they lack food and water, they can go to the origin to find them to collect. But from now on, they will only wait at the origin until forty-eight hours, and will never wait until they are out of date.
In two days, at most eight parts of materials are consumed. In fact, considering individual differences, each piece of material is very affordable, ensuring that those with large appetites can eat enough, so save some, and you can''t finish a piece of material in a day. What''s more, if you just wait, it won''t consume so much, and you may only consume four or five servings in these two days.
After sending the message, Mr. Yuan activated the origin pointer, and a green line immediately appeared on the ground, corresponding to the closest route back to the origin.
The few people set off immediately, and Sun Xiaowei and Ma Qiao rode on their bikes and ran all the way. As a result, after walking for a while, I found that the route is often contrary to intuition. The pointer originally pointed forward and pointed diagonally upward, but the route told you that you should go down the stairs here, then walked back and took a long circle before finally returning to the direction of the pointer.
But according to the instructions of the props, the thing should indicate the nearest route. This means that if you choose the route according to intuition, even if you specify the direction, you may not be able to reach the destination.
This reminded them of the exit indicator again... It seems that even if they spend 100,000 yuan, the possibility of being able to go out is very small, which casts a shadow on everyone''s hearts.
"Don''t be discouraged." Old Yuan saw the frustration of others and encouraged: "At least we have a way to survive stably. As long as we continue to explore, we will always find a way out."
"I hope this is the case..." Sun Xiaowei curled her lips: "Old Yuan, how far is we still have to get there?"
"There is more than 30,000 meters in a straight line distance..." Old Yuan glanced at him and said, "It should be soon..."
Halfway through the words, Old Yuan was suddenly stunned and signaled everyone to stop.
The team moving forward at high speed suddenly braked and almost rear-end.
"What''s wrong?" Ma Qiao finally stopped the bicycle.
"Look at that side!" Luo Jun also found the problem and pointed to a diagonal fork in front of him.
"That''s..." Ma Qiao and Sun Xiaowei were both surprised after seeing it clearly.
I saw a black plaque hanging at the end of the fork road...
