Chapter 220 That Maze
On the table is a huge model, that model is made of branches, looks like a maze.
When Thomas saw the model, he froze for a moment. His eyes circled around the maze, and when he saw the square space surrounded by the maze, Thomas, who didn't know what it was, understood. come over.
This model is a scaled-down version of the labyrinth experiment site.
"Isn't this... Didn't you say that you haven't fully explored the maze? How can there be such a model?"
Mino looked down at the maze model on the table, and he said after a long time: "I have been a walker for three years, and during these three years, I have traveled all over the maze. We already know what it looks like, but Abil didn’t ask us to tell other people about it, because before that, we never found out that the maze had an exit.”
The entrances of the four huge mazes are both exits and entrances. The entire maze is closed, and after going around in circles, it is this glade that finally comes back.
Abil also knew about this, and it was he who told Mino not to tell other people in the glade. If he didn't know, he might still have hope in his heart, but if he knew, his hope would be completely shattered.
Zuo Si turned his head to look at Mino, the expression on his face didn't change much. As early as a few months ago, they had already explored the maze completely. The maze is divided into eight parts. Every night, the walls of the maze Move, one channel is opened and another channel is closed, from [-] to [-] in a cycle.
The reason why Mino and the others hid it, Thomas also understood in his heart, trapped in this huge labyrinth experiment site, they have no weapons, no high-tech things that can be used, and the hope they hold is only in this place. Inside the maze, they hoped to find their way out of the maze. If people knew that the maze was closed and they couldn't get out, the glade would not be as peaceful as it is now.
Thomas remembered a lot of things, but he knew the labyrinth experiment site, but he didn't know much about the maze. He pointed to the numbers marked on the model and asked, "What are those?"
"There are eight parts in the maze, and the parts that are opened every day are different. From the first part to the eighth part, a new passage will be opened every day. When the eighth passage is opened, it will return to the first part. A passage."
"However, among these passages, passage No. 7 has never been opened before. I know that there is passage No. 7, but I didn't see the appearance of passage No. 7 until the night I was trapped in the maze."
"It turned out that we also guessed that the No. 7 passage is the lair of the ghost fire beast, so we will not enter the passage marked No. 7."
Mino told Thomas all of their explorations over the years. He looked at Thomas and said, "Thomas, you remember the past. You are also a member of that organization. What should we do next?"
There were several chairs in the room, and Thomas pulled Teresa to sit on the chairs. The labyrinth passages were intricate, and he couldn't see anything just by looking at them, but what Thomas knew was that passage 7 was very special.
Since the will-o’-the-wisps say they can come out of passage No. 7, does it mean that they can also go out of passage No. 7? There is no exit in the entire huge maze, but passage No. 7 should be connected to the laboratory. The place where the Griever comes and goes leaves this maze.
The reason why Thomas was thrown here was precisely because he wanted to save these people. He thought of everything, and naturally he had to take Mino and the others away from here as he had planned.
These experimental products have been cultivated by the people at the base since they were young, and when they reach a certain age, they will be thrown into this huge experimental site.
Thomas has been working here for several years. He knows that after the experiment is completed, these children will be sent to other places. However, Thomas does not know what will happen to them after they leave this experiment site. .
However, the organization has expended so much energy and built such a huge maze. The plot should not be small. Although Thomas remembered some things, some of his memories were still shrouded in fog. What, he couldn't think of it no matter what.
Mino pulled Zuo Si and sat down opposite Thomas and Teresa. He looked up at Thomas and said, "Thomas, it was marked when Teresa was sent up. She is the last one. I I don't think the organization behind will send any more food. Originally, the food in the forest glade was enough for us to last for a while, but after the ghost fire beast came last night, the entire forest glade suffered a devastating blow. The crops have been trampled, the places where we store our food have been destroyed, and we have counted what we have left, and it will take no more than two weeks before it will be consumed.”
Mino told Thomas all about the current situation, and now they can be said to be grasshoppers tied to the same rope, either they all die together, or they all live together.
"Mino, what do you want to do?"
Thomas asked back.
Mino shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's just our guess that passageway 7 can get out of this maze. If we go in, we will face a large number of ghost fire beasts, so what should we do?"
This is a big gamble. If they win, they will be able to escape, but if they lose, they will be forever lost.
Mino handed the choice to Thomas again. He didn't know how to make a choice, so he wanted Thomas to help them choose. How should they go next?
The fate of these people was on his shoulders, and Thomas didn't dare to make a decision casually. He frowned and thought, recalling his own memories, trying to find a solution that got the best of both worlds.
However, the current situation is grim, and their resources are pitiful, so how can there be any solution that can achieve the best of both worlds?After thinking about it, he couldn't think of any way, and finally Thomas said, "I don't know what to do, but I think we should tell other people about this and let everyone make a choice together."
Listening to what they said, Zuo Si felt that they might have overcomplicated things. If they were all here, they could only live for two weeks at most. After all the food and water were exhausted, they would eventually die. fate.
However, if you enter the No. 7 channel, you may continue to live.
One is death, and the other is the possibility of surviving. In fact, the answer to this question has already been chosen when the question is asked.
Several people discussed here and then left. They went to join Newt and the seven people who were with them, and then told the seven people about the current situation.
As Zuo Si guessed, after they said it, those teenagers thought about it and made a choice.
They have to enter the maze and leave this place through passage 7.
"Partners, the road ahead is dangerous, life and death are unknown, but since everyone has made a choice, there is no way out when they leave."
Newt looked at the seven people and said seriously.
Everyone nodded. Before they made a choice, they might hesitate a bit, but when they really made a choice, they would follow the path they chose, move forward all the way, never look back, and never regret it.
After tossing all night yesterday, everyone was still in shock and exhausted a lot of energy and energy, so everyone decided to have a good rest today, and then gather together tomorrow to enter the maze and leave this place.
Everyone did not disperse, and all gathered in the meeting hall to rest.
The food they found was not much. The people led by Gary had already collected all the food and water left in the clearing. Those people wanted to stay here and continue to live in the clearing. , These people and those people were originally companions, although they chose differently, but they didn't have much conflict.
The meeting hall is the strongest building on the forest clearing. When the ghost fire beasts ravaged yesterday, this place did not suffer any damage. After a simple tidying up, people can live in it. Everyone lay in a mess and closed their eyes, forcing themselves rest.
Zuo Si sat at the door of the conference hall, and looked outside through the opened door.
Today is a fine weather, the light outside is bright, although the sun cannot be seen, but the bright light makes people feel very comfortable.
Zuo Si's mind was empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After Mino had arranged everything, he was finally free. He saw Zuo Si sitting at the door, hesitated for a while, and walked towards Zuo Si.
"Zuo Si, what are you thinking?"
Zuo Si looked back at Mino, shook his head, and said softly, "It's nothing."
Mino sat down beside Zuo Si, and looked at the blue sky with her.
"Zuo Si, I'm leaving soon, are you afraid?"
