Chapter 205 That Maze
The maze is naturally very dangerous, because the road in the maze is not static, and after they enter the maze, they must come back before dark.
The maze is full of dangers, and their time is very tight. They have to run non-stop and remember the way they came. Otherwise, if they don't come back before the maze gate is closed, they will lose their lives completely.
When they chose to become walkers, they already knew that their lives no longer belonged to them, but belonged to the entire glade. They carried the hope of the entire glade people, and everyone was looking forward to them being able to live. Find your way out and get out of this small place.
After a few words, Mino told Zuo Si about the danger among the masons, and at the end he said another sentence.
"Little girl, the maze is not the place you should go. Don't be full of curiosity about that place, because curiosity is the first step you step into danger. I know you have great power, but in the maze, Great strength does not mean everything. Even the most powerful person cannot guarantee that he can survive in the maze forever."
Zuo Si was silent and didn't speak. She glanced at Mino and then looked back. In fact, Mino had said a lot, and he still didn't explain the specific situation in the maze. There may be something they don't know about.
The rain outside became heavier and heavier, and the noise of the teenagers gradually died down.
Zuo Si stood up and walked towards the door. He looked out of the door with his head. Those teenagers who were taking a bath just now, probably couldn't take it anymore, all went back to their own houses.
The rain came and went quickly. The rain just now became heavier and heavier. In such a short time, the torrential rain has turned into a patter of light rain. After being washed by the rain, the green grass on the ground has become more green and tender.
Zuo Si took a look and saw that those teenagers had all returned to his house, so he walked back.
After the rain stopped, the dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated. Although the sun could not be seen, the light was much better than before without the dark clouds.
After a heavy rain, the strange smell in the air disappeared. Zuo Si felt that the air was much fresher. She took a few deep breaths before returning to her hard bed.
Mino sat there, and when he saw the rain stopped, he stood up. His original figure was already tall, and after standing up like this, the sense of oppression he brought to Zuo Si was even stronger than before.
The nerves on Zuo Si's face did not change much, and Mino also felt that she had never given up her curiosity about the maze.
This is also a very normal thing. Basically, everyone who arrives at the glade will be curious about the maze, but those people dispelled the curiosity in their hearts after they talked about the danger of the maze.
But these two newcomers are very strange. They have clearly mentioned the danger of the maze many times, but their curiosity about the maze has not weakened in the slightest.
This is not a good thing. Mino thinks that this is probably the fearlessness of the ignorant, and too strong curiosity, which is of no benefit to the two of them.
"Little girl, let me tell you one last thing, don't have any curiosity about the maze... It's far more dangerous than you imagined, and the last thing you need in the glade is curiosity. "
Minuo felt that he had already said what he had to say. As for whether to listen or not, that was Zuo Si's business. She was the only girl in this glade. Although they didn't know why he came, it was just a matter of male nature , is to protect women, this is something engraved in the genes, he does not want to let this girl who looks very weak suffer any accident.
During the conversation, a person appeared at the door of the room. When he saw Mino in Zuo Si's room, he couldn't help being stunned, and blurted out: "Why are you here?"
Mino's eyes were on Zuo Si's body before. After hearing the voice, he turned around and looked at the person who came. Thomas was wet all over, and water was dripping from his pants. Afterwards, the dust on his body was washed off, revealing his fair skin.
Thomas's skin was fair, in stark contrast to Mino's dark skin. Although his clothes were recovered, they were covered with strange things and were scratched in many places by branches. He didn't have any new clothes to wear, so he could only stand there with his back bare for the time being.
Looking at Thomas with fair skin and thin body, Mino frowned. The people in the glade are all strong humans. Even the new rookies have good physical fitness. However, the newcomers Thomas and Zuo Si The two don't look very strong.
However, although Zuo Si is not strong and looks very petite, her actual strength is much stronger than her appearance, so Mino suspects that Thomas may also have some hidden power that they cannot directly see. .
His eyes circled around Thomas, but Mino didn't speak, walked past Thomas, and left here.
Seeing Mino's disappearing figure, Thomas opened his mouth and shouted, "Mino!"
Mino didn't look back, he just waved his hand towards Thomas, and continued to walk into the distance. Thomas kept watching Mino's leaving figure.
He saw Nuo walking to the side of a wooden house, he seemed to say something, and then a tall man walked out of the wooden house.
Thomas froze for a moment, he recognized the man, it was Abiel, the leader of this glade.
What did Mino go to find Abil?Thomas was a little puzzled, and then continued to read.
After Abil and Mino said something, he turned around and went back into the house. After a few minutes, Abil came out. He changed into another dress, which looked younger than him. The ones I wore earlier were more sophisticated.
After the two stood together and said something, they walked towards the entrance of the maze that had been opened not far away.
Thomas didn't know what happened, but seeing the two of them as if they were about to enter the maze, he thought for a while, and then immediately chased after the two of them.
Zuo Si didn't know what happened, but seeing Thomas leaving in a hurry, she didn't hesitate, and immediately chased after him. The two chased after each other to the entrance of the maze, where Abil and Mino were captured. Personally stopped.
"Abil, Mino, what are you two going to do?"
Thomas ran a little anxiously, and his breathing was not stable. He took a few breaths, looked at the two people in front of him, and asked anxiously, "What are you going to do?"
Seeing Thomas coming, Abil's eyes were a little strange. He looked at Thomas and asked, "What are you doing here? Didn't I say not to go near the maze?"
Thomas didn't care about Abil's attitude. He looked at Abil, then at Mino, and asked, "Didn't you say that only walkers can enter the maze? So Abil... what are you doing now?" , do you want to enter the maze?"
Mino looked at Thomas, and then at Zuo Si who came with Thomas. The nerves on his face were a little serious. The two people's curiosity about the maze had exceeded the normal range. In this glade, other people Not like them.
After being silent for a while, seeing that it was getting late and there would be trouble if it was delayed, Mino said: "Ben has already been infected, and someone needs to take over his position. Now the person who takes over his duties in this open space is There is only Abil, and he is the most suitable candidate."
Abil nodded: ""Yes... I have to enter the maze, take over Ben's work, and explore the path in the maze. This is what a walker must do. "
"Don't continue to delay our affairs, because the time for closing the maze is fixed. If you delay, we may not be able to come back before the maze is closed. If we cannot come back, then you will be the murderers who killed us .”
What Abile said was too serious, Zuo Si and Thomas couldn't stop blocking them, just watched Abile and Mino walk into the maze?
Stepping into the range of the maze, the two of them ran quickly, and when they reached the end of the passage, the two of them ran towards the inside of the maze, one left and one right.
Seeing the direction in which the two were running, Thomas's expression changed, always feeling a little strange. .
Abier should not have entered the maze before. According to common sense, he should not be familiar with the maze. Even if he became a walker, Mino had to take him to familiarize himself with the maze. , the two separated and ran away. Isn't Mino afraid of Aibil, and he went to the direction in the maze?
He didn't ask the doubts in his heart, but Zuo Si said the doubts he didn't ask: "Why is Aibier running in a different direction from Mino? Does he know the way?"
Standing at the entrance of the maze and chatting is not a comfortable thing, Thomas shook his head, did not speak, turned and walked towards Zuo Si's room.
Zuo Si then followed Thomas to the past. Halfway through the journey, Cook, the little fat man who had brought them to familiarize themselves with the woodland space yesterday, came over.
"Thomas, good morning Zuo Si!"
Cook warmly greeted Thomas and the others, and Zuo Si smiled at the little fat man's chubby face.
"Good morning Cook."
Just now Thomas had something in his heart, and when he saw Cook's expression, he took Cook to a remote corner not far away and sat down: "Cook, I have some questions I want to ask you."
Thomas didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly, "Do you know that Abil entered the maze with Mino?"
Cook froze for a moment, with a wry smile on his face: "So the replacement walker was Abiel? I knew that when Ben died, I already had this guess that Abiel would enter the maze. .”
"Why? Why do you say that? Why did Abil enter the maze?"
Thomas pressed.
"Because he is the leader and the most powerful person in this glade, so he will be the successor. There must be two walkers. Although I don't know who made this rule, but I entered When we got to this clearing, the traveler was always two people."
"When you entered this glade?" Thomas grasped a point keenly: "Did you also replace the walker before Ben's accident?"
This is not a secret, and there is nothing to hide. Cook nodded and said: "I entered this glade a month earlier than you. During this month, three walkers have died. In the maze, Ben was the fourth."
"By the way, he didn't die in the maze, but was infected and died after being attacked. Anyway, he died. After he died, the walker was short of one person, but the walker must have two , so someone has to replace him."
"I don't know, whether this is normal or not, but according to other people, this situation is not normal. Although the death rate of former walkers is very high, it is not enough to die three or four a month."
Cook is also a person who has just been in this woodland space for a short time, and what he knows is also very limited, but he is very talkative and honest. He will answer whatever Thomas asks, and he will tell what he knows in a short while. Tell Thomas all about it.
Zuo Si and Thomas listened quietly, Zuo Si always felt that there should be some problem, but now he could get too little information, so he couldn't guess what was going on.
When it rained, the temperature dropped down, and now it’s sunny, and the temperature has risen again. It’s obvious that they just took a bath, but after basking in the sun for a while, Thomas and Cook developed a lot of bruises. sweat.
Zuo Si's body was refreshing, but there were two sweaty people sitting beside him, and he always felt a sour smell wafting from them. Zuo Si frowned, and silently moved to the side moved.
Zuo Si and Thomas felt very strange that so many things had happened in less than a day since they came to this forest clearing.
Looking at the square sky above their heads and the huge walls around them, the psychological pressure on people was too great. Trapped in such a small space, all they could think of was to leave.
"Cook. Don't you want to get out of this damn place?"
Zuo Si asked.
"Of course I want to leave this place, but how can we leave this place?"
"The box comes up once a month, and it will leave after it comes. Maybe we can leave here by sitting on the box."
Cook said with a smile: "Do you think that other people have not thought of this? However, this is impossible. The box comes once a month, bringing a new person, as well as the supplies we need. When we combine the supplies and After all the people are brought out, the box will sink, and we have tried to leave here, hiding in the box, trying to get out of the box, but someone should be watching from behind, as long as there are people in the box, they will It will not move, unless the person gets out of the box, the box will continue to descend."
Thomas is not the only smart person, and the things he can think of have been thought of by others before.
And after thinking about it, they put it into action. They tried countless times, and even tried to build a ladder to climb up a huge wall and leave along the edge of the wall.
However, the space resources in this woodland are really limited, and the wall is too tall. The things they think are simply impossible. The only possibility is to enter the maze and find a way out of the maze. Escape from the maze.
It's just that with the passage of time, the roads of the maze are always changing. The walkers paid a lot of money, but they still haven't found the way out.
Gradually, these people in the woodland space seem to have recognized the reality, and it seems impossible to leave here. They stay here honestly and live in this small space.
The cruel fact silenced all three of them, no one knew what to say, and the atmosphere seemed to become more dignified
At this time, there was a rumbling sound in the middle of the field in the distance. It seemed that something rose up from below. Cook's face changed, and he blurted out: "How is that possible?"
Zuo Si and Thomas had never experienced such a thing, and the two of them were a little confused when applying. Zuo Si turned to look at Cook, whose expression changed drastically, and asked, "What happened?"
Cook's face was ugly and scary, and panic appeared in his eyes and he said: "That box will only come up once a month, why did it come up again this time?"
Yesterday was the time when the boxes came up once a month. When the boxes came up, they broke the previous rules and brought two people. But this time, only one day later, the boxes came up again. Why?
The answer to this question was not answered by them. The movement in the center of the venue became louder and louder, and the booming sound kept ringing out. Such a loud sound called out all the people in the glade. Everyone looked at each other and looked at the venue. In the middle direction, until the rumble stopped, everyone's emotions still hadn't recovered.
The top of the box slammed open, and everyone's hearts stopped for a moment.No one dared to step forward on the periphery of the middle of the field, and no one knew what the box would bring up.
Abil wasn't there, and Newt was now the leader in the glade.Everyone turned their eyes to Newt, and Newt gritted his teeth and walked over.
He probed into the box and saw that the box this time was different from every other box in the past. There were no supplies in the box, and there was only a girl with black hair lying in the center of the box.
Seeing that it wasn't a monster, Newt was relieved. He waved to those who were not there, and shouted loudly, "It's a girl, it's okay, come quickly."
Hearing that Newt said it was a girl, everyone finally felt relieved. They walked towards Newt, gathered around the edge of the box, and looked at the black girl lying in the middle of the box.
Zuo Si and Thomas Cook also ran over. They squeezed through the crowd and came to the edge of the box. Seeing the blond-haired girl appearing in the box, Thomas froze for a moment, feeling that there was something lying in the box. The girl looked familiar.
Just as everyone was considering whether to go down and bring the girl up, the bottom of the box slowly began to rise. In the end, the bottom of the box rose completely, leveling with the ground, and the girl appeared not far in front of them. At the same place, the girl was still unconscious, and there was a piece of paper on her body with a sentence written on it.
This is the last one.
After seeing this sentence, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. They guessed the meaning of the words, but they couldn't believe what the words meant.
This is the last one. Does this sentence mean what they think? ?
The girl lying there moved suddenly, and called out a name indistinctly.
Thomas.
Everyone looked at Thomas in unison, Newt also looked at Thomas, and asked, "Do you know her?"
Thomas shook his head hurriedly, he said, "I don't know her, I don't remember anything."
Thomas couldn't remember anything. After the girl called out Thomas' name, she passed out again. Everyone looked at the girl, not knowing what to do. In the end, Newt said, "Get her out of the box first." Move it out."
Everyone nodded, and hurriedly moved the girl out of the box. There was nothing in the box except the girl.
Usually, after taking out all the people and things inside the box, the box would automatically sink. However, after the girl was removed this time, the box did not move. Everyone looked at each other and looked at the bottom of the raised box. Know what to do.
The note on the girl said, this is the last one. Does it mean that there will be no more boxes coming up from today?
Everyone had guesses in their hearts, but they didn't dare to do anything.If the boxes are not brought up, how will they continue to live here? The resources in the woodland space are limited. There are so many of them in total. After the resources are exhausted, they will not survive here for a long time.
The situation of the girl is worse than that of Zuo Si and Thomas yesterday. Zuo Si and Thomas woke up in the box when they came yesterday, but the girl has not woken up until here. Rest assured, Newt asked two doctors to take care of the girl.
However, the two doctors could only deal with the trauma, and they had nothing to do with the unconscious girl.
Moreover, the girl is in a coma, and they are all boys, so it is difficult to check if there is any other condition in the girl's body.
In the end, Newt turned his attention to Zuo Si. In this woodland space, Zuo Si was the only girl, and it was the best thing for her to take care of the girl.
Newt walked up to Zuo Si and asked her if she would take care of the unconscious girl. Zuo thought for a while, nodded, and agreed, "Yes."
Zuo Si's strength was great, she wanted to hug the girl up, and carried the girl into an empty room under the instructions of others.
No one knows that on the second day after the box came, a new person would come over, so there was no extra room for her to live in, but Ben was expelled due to infection, and his room was empty, and he came out to give this girl It works just fine.
Zuo Si carried the girl into the room and placed her on the bed in the room. She looked down at the sleepy girl and frowned slightly.
The girl's condition seemed to be in a bad situation, Zuo Si was a little worried, she closed the door, and wanted to untie the girl's clothes, to check if there were any other injuries on her body.
The girl was wearing a lot of clothes. Zuo Si took off her coat, revealing the thin clothes underneath. She wore a white vest under her upper body. The vest was very tight, which perfectly outlined the girl's figure
She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, much prettier and more mature than Zuo Si. After she was sent up, many boys in the woodland space attracted the attention of her.
Seeing the girl's perfect figure, Zuo Si lowered his head to look at his own figure, she was silent for a while, the expression on her face didn't change much.
Compared with this girl's figure, I really have the figure of a child. The girl is beautiful and has a good figure. It is no wonder that the eyes of those teenagers are attracted to her.
Concentrating the messy thoughts in his mind, Zuo Si carefully checked the girl's body, and found that there was no scar on her body, but on the girl's right shoulder, Zuo Si found a small pinhole.
How could there be a pinhole here?
Zuo Si stretched out his hand and touched the edge of the pinhole, the sticky liquid got on her hand, Zuo Si raised his hand, put the liquid on his nose and sniffed it.
A strange smell rushed towards her face, pouring into her nostrils, Zuo Si didn't check for a moment, choked a few times, she hurriedly took her hands away, and rubbed her fingers on her body.
After wiping off the mucus, Zuo thought for a while, put his finger under his nose and smelled it, the choking smell just now had disappeared, but there was still a faint unpleasant smell.
A strange liquid should have been injected into the girl's body. The effect of that liquid is unknown, but one can tell from the smell that the liquid should not be a good thing.
She wrote down this discovery and was going to tell others later. After that, she checked the girl's body and found two green sealed test tubes in the girl's trousers pocket.
I don’t know what kind of material the test tube is made of, it looks very solid, and there are many green liquids in it. The color of the liquid looks weird, and it doesn’t feel like a good thing. The two liquids were put back into the pockets on the girl's body.
She obviously didn't remember anything, but when she was examining the girl's body, many things appeared in Zuo Si's mind.She seemed to have inspected people's bodies in this way before, but those memories were too vague, and she couldn't remember where she had inspected people's bodies.
Since she couldn't remember, Zuo Si didn't bother herself. She put those memories aside. After checking the girl's body, she put on the girl's clothes again, and then took a piece from the side that couldn't tell what color it was. The cloth covered the girl's body.
After finishing all this, the girl still didn't wake up, Zuo Si sized her up.Then he left the room and went outside.
The other people outside the room had dispersed, but Newt and Thomas were still waiting outside. When they saw Zuo Si coming out of the room, those two people came over immediately and asked about the girl's situation.
"What's the matter? How is that girl? Is there anything wrong with him?"
The person who asked this question was Thomas, he seemed to be very concerned about the girl's situation, Zuo Si could see the anxiety in his eyes.
Thinking of when the girl came up before, she seemed to have called Thomas' name, and then related to Thomas' behavior at this time.
Zuo Si felt that there should be some kind of relationship between Thomas and this girl. She looked at Thomas and said, "She hasn't woken up yet. I checked her body and found no major wounds, but I found no major wounds on her body. A hole was found on the shoulder, and there are some residual medicines around the needle hole. I have smelled them, and the smell of those medicines is very bad. The pungent smell does not seem to be a good thing."
Zuo Si didn't hide anything, and told Thomas and Newt everything he had discovered. After the two heard that something seemed to be injected into the girl's body, Thomas was a little anxious. He hurried over, opened the door, and rushed to the room. After entering the room, Zuo Si saw his performance and didn't speak.
Previously, Zuo Si and Thomas were sent up together, and Newt thought there was some relationship between Zuo Si and Thomas, but now it seems that there may be some mistakes in his guess.
The relationship between Zuo Si and Thomas is actually not the kind of relationship he imagined, but looking at Zuo Si's appearance and the appearance of the girl who just came up, Newt thinks.Thomas chose that girl for a reason. After all, men like girls who are more feminine, not girls who look like little girls.
Newt didn't get too entangled in this matter, he looked at Zuo Si and asked, "Did you just say that you found a pinhole on that girl's body?"
Zuo Si nodded, and replied: "Yes, I immediately found a pinhole on her right arm, and there was some mucus around it, which may be the oozing medicinal liquid, or it may be other things. Can't recognize it."
Newt nodded.He looked at Zuo Si, hesitated for a while, but still didn't ask the question he wanted to ask.
"Let's go in and see."
Zuo Si nodded, and walked into the room with Newt.
After they entered, they saw Thomas was kneeling and sitting in front of the girl. He looked at the unconscious girl lying there, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his face showed pain.
Seeing him like this, Newt was taken aback. He hurried over and grabbed Thomas by the shoulder.
"Thomas, how are you? What's going on? What's the matter with you?"
Newt asked about Thomas' situation with concern, and the pain on Thomas' face became more intense. He shook his head, supported his swollen head, and couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Newt hurriedly helped Thomas sit down on the chair on the other side, and he stretched out his hand to help Thomas rub his swollen forehead.
The painful look on Thomas' face slowly dissipated, he raised his hand and grabbed Newt's wrist, then looked up at Newt and said, "I seem to know this girl, in my dream , she seems to have appeared."
The scene in the dream was a bit blurry, and Thomas actually couldn’t remember it clearly. He felt that it was like a dream mirror, and it seemed to be something that happened in real life. I don't know if the dream is real or just an illusion reflected by his brain cells?
"You said you saw this girl in your dream?"
Hearing what Thomas said, Newt grabbed Thomas' wrist with his backhand and asked eagerly.
Thomas nodded and said, "Yes, I saw her in my dream. I had a dream last night, and this girl appeared in the dream. When I came in and saw her just now, a few images came to mind. Come on, I always feel that I know her, I should know her."
Those dreams are likely to be the lost memories of Thomas. The people in this glade were all sent in after losing their memories.
Some people can slowly recall some scattered memories, while some people can't remember what happened in the past at all. Maybe Thomas can remember what happened and why they are here.
Looking at Thomas and Newt, Zuo Si always felt that there seemed to be something strange between them, but she couldn't think of anything strange between them. Take it back and don't go to see them anymore.
