MTL - Card Room-Chapter 560

Chapter 560, the desert oasis

The distance between Shao Qingge and his teammates was more than one kilometer when he was speaking. He once again saw the "mirage" scene that he had seen in the desert before, but at this time it was night, and the clear lake was clearly reflected. After a full moon, the lake was silent and windless, and the desert green plants growing around also cast their reflections in the lake.

There was a roaring sound not far from the lake. Shao Qingge took a closer look and saw that a campfire was burning in the distance. A group of young women were dancing around the flames. They were wearing strange foreign costumes. The scarves cover half of their faces, and the girls' slender waists are like water snakes, which can rotate and bend freely, and dance very enchantingly.

There are many young men playing the piano and drums to accompany the beauties. The children play around in a group, and the elderly set up countless tables filled with food.

The bonfire party in the oasis is extremely lively. After experiencing a thrilling "escape journey" hungry all day, he suddenly saw such a lively and peaceful scene, and Shao Qingge thought he had seen a phantom for the first time.

To confirm, he swiftly dived into the desert and approached the lake.

Unlike the mirage during the day, he quickly came to the lake this time, a gust of wind blew the lake, the lake was sparkling, and the breeze also brought the aroma of barbecue not far away-this is a real oasis!

Shao Qingge immediately notified his teammates of the good news.

After Xiao Lou heard it, he hurriedly asked Ye Qi to use a teleportation cassette to lead him in Shao's direction.

A few people came to Shao Qingge's side within 10 seconds. Everyone hid behind a huge cactus in the dark, and the people attending the campfire did not notice them.

Looking at the lively scene not far away, Xiao Lou frowned slightly, lowered his voice and asked, "Is the campfire party with so many people celebrating the festival?"

Shao Qingge said, “It seems to be the wedding of a couple. I just saw a young man and woman in red costumes who were invited to the middle of the dance floor to perform a strange ceremony. There were also people dressed like wizards saying some blessings.”

Ye Qi looked at the dancing people, worried about the authenticity, "Most of these people should be living in desert oasis plots, right? But there must be hunters mixed in. They are here to wait for rabbits and want to destroy our group."

Xiao Lou turned his head and glanced at the clear spring water-it has been a whole day since entering the challenge session. He only drank a sip of water, plus he ran wildly in the desert for 2 hours just now to hurry. At this time, he was already dry. , His lips even cracked. This Wang Qingquan was a fatal temptation to him.

His body was desperately eager to drink water, but reason prevented him.

Xiao Lou swallowed with difficulty, looked away from Qingquan, and calmly said, "Don't eat their food, and don't drink the water here. Our goal is to find medicine while most people in the town are attending the wedding banquet. , Everyone must fight quickly."

"This oasis town is quite large. The five of us are too eye-catching to act together. It's better to go separately. I can go for investigation alone and use voice headsets to notify you when there is news." Shao Qingge said.

"I can also go alone. I and Mr. Shao go to the left and the other to the right." Chu Huaying looked at Xiao Lou and said, "However, neither of us knows medicine. What medicine do you need to find?"

Xiao Lou thought for a while, and said, "The architectural style of this town looks a lot like a modern background. Look for a drugstore or hospital along the way. The first choice for treating plague is streptomycin. If you find it, bring it back to me."

Shao Qingge and Chu Huaying nodded at the same time, "Understand."

Xiao Lou said, "I will act with Xiaoye and Xiao Liu and continue north. Everyone hurry up and maintain voice communication."

Everyone looked at each other and quickly separated at the three fork in the road ahead. The three of Xiaolou moved forward, Chu Huaying and Shao Qingge left and right, and the figures of the five quickly disappeared into the dark night.

Both Chu Huaying and Shao Qingge, who turned into the insect king, have top-notch combat capabilities. Xiao Lou is not worried about their safety. Unless they are besieged by a large number of hunters, even if the two of them encounter hunting in twos and threes, Killers are enough to protect themselves and escape quickly.

Ye Qi and Liu Qiao's fighting abilities are not strong. Fortunately, with a large number of control cards, plus Xiao Lou's summoning cards, the three of them can also save their lives in critical situations. Unfortunately, Ye Qi's teleportation card has been invalidated, and Mr. Shao's copy of the teleportation card has only the last 10 minutes left. They must seize every second.

Fortunately, the desert area is vast and the population is sparse. The roads in the oasis town do not have winding paths. They are all straight and wide roads. It is very convenient for teammates to move with teleports.

Since the wedding banquet was held by the lake, most houses in the town were empty.

Being unoccupied means that there is no light, and Xiao Lou does not dare to directly use the Ye Mingzhu lighting, which will attract the hunters in the small town. He can only use the dim light of the moon to identify the path, and use the North Star in the sky to determine the direction.

The three of them went around in a maze-like town, and did not find any pharmacies or hospitals.

As time passed by, Xiao Lou's heart became more and more nervous. He found a corner with no one, held the voice headset, and whispered, "Mr. Shao, Huaying, have you found anything?"

Shao Qingge replied, "I didn't see the pharmacy here. After walking for a few kilometers, I saw a large orchard with grapes. These grapes should be non-toxic. I can pick some for everyone to eat."

Chu Huaying said, "My place seems to be a place where they specialize in raising camels. There is not even a single figure. If you go further, it is a desert with no end in sight."

It seems that Huaying and Shao are going in the wrong direction.

Assuming that there is a pharmacy in Oasis Town, it must be in the direction that Xiaolou and the three people are heading.

Xiao Lou took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, and continued to lead the two teammates forward.

The farther you go, the more forks there will be. If he hadn't always kept his calm and could quickly locate him through the North Star, he would have lost his way in this night town.

After a few more minutes, a three-way intersection appeared again.

Xiao Lou carved a sign on the stone at the fork in the road, and walked to the left first. If you encounter a dead end, then turn around and go in other directions.

After walking a distance, suddenly, a soft light appeared in his vision, with a red cross-shaped sign beside him.

That light, like a ship drifting in the dark sea finally saw the lighthouse!

——Red cross, this is a unique mark of medical institutions.

Xiao Lou was overjoyed and hurriedly walked towards the simple double-storey building.

When I came closer, I saw a sign standing at the door with the word "hospital" written on it.

There were not too many people in the hospital late at night. The old doctor in the duty room at the door was dozing off. Xiao Lou Mao walked into the building with Ye Qi and Liu Qiao, hiding his eyes from him.

The lights in the building flickered, the light bulb seemed to be broken, and it made a noise when it flickered. Xiao Lou walked for a few seconds and found that something was wrong—every door had a mirror, and at the moment the light came on, he suddenly saw his grandmother appear in the mirror at the end of the corridor.

The white-haired grandmother bent her mouth, her eyes narrowed, and her smile was kind and loving. But now, in the mirror of the hospital corridor in this desert oasis town, he suddenly saw his grandmother. Xiao Lou could not feel the care from his elders at all. He only felt a cool air rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, even blood. freeze.

what happened? Isn't this a hospital?

At the same time, Ye Qi also looked in the mirror blankly and muttered, "I saw my mother, is this a phantom?"

Liu Qiao stared at a door in front of him and whispered "Sister?"

Xiao Lou immediately stopped, "Something's wrong, everyone get out!"

He took Ye Qi and Liu Qiao back in a hurry, but suddenly, two pale corpse hands appeared in the mirrors of the two doors next to them, and those two hands slammed Liu Qiao and Ye Qi at the same time. Pulled into the mirror!

Seeing Ye Qi and Liu Qiao disappearing from him, Xiao Lou's heart tightened slightly.

Is a hunter.

Perhaps they have entered the absolute realm set by the hunters again, or this is a hospital maze deliberately "built" by the hunters, just to wait for him to come.

Xiao Lou clenched his fists hard to calm himself down quickly.

He backed off guard, holding down the voice headset, and asked in a low voice, "Ye Qi, Liu Qiao, can you hear me?"

Ye Qi quickly replied, "Professor Xiao, this is a mirror maze, surrounded by mirrors, I can't tell the direction..."

Liu Qiao did not reply immediately, and I wonder if he was lost in the maze.

Xiao Lou worried about the authentic "Liu Qiao?"

After a few seconds, Liu Qiao’s voice rang in his ears, "I’m here. Professor Xiao, the doors here are all mirrors. Push any door and you will enter the next secret room full of mirrors. What should I do? go out?"

It seems that this is a maze of serial mirrors.

Xiao Lou had a splitting headache, Xiao Liu and Ye Qi were not good at mazes, and Lao Mo was not by his side now, and now he could only rely on him. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, calm down, and tell me how many walls are there in the secret room?"

Liu Qiao said "all sides."

Ye Qi also said, "Four walls."

Xiao Lou carefully analyzed it in his mind for a moment, and said, "It may be a maze consisting of countless square secret rooms. My location is the central axis corridor. Liu Qiao was on my left just now. He walked clockwise. Ye Qi was the opposite. If you walk counterclockwise, you should be able to return to the original position. If you still can’t see me, then my inference is wrong..."

According to Xiao Lou's instructions, Ye Qi and Liu Qiao opened a mirrored door.

Soon, Liu Qiao appeared in Xiao Lou's vision.

Although the girl's face was pale, her eyes remained calm. She walked to Xiao Lou's face and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Professor Xiao is really amazing. I can see the laws of the maze so quickly."

Just as Xiao Lou was about to speak, suddenly, a cold light flashed in Liu Qiao's hands——

A sharp dagger plunged into Xiao Lou's chest like lightning.

The knife was fast, ruthless, and accurate, and it pierced Xiao Lou's heart cleanly.

At the moment the blood splattered from his chest, Xiao Lou met a pair of cold eyes. Although those eyes belonged to Liu Qiao, they looked extremely strange.

Before Xiao Lou had time to react, he completely lost consciousness.

At the same time, two unbelievable messages popped up in the floating boxes of all the players——

Team leader Xiao Lou died, and the owner of the team contract was replaced by Yu Hanjiang.

Team leader Yu Hanjiang died, and the owner of the team contract was replaced by Shao Qingge.
