    “Huh.” Qiao Qiao walked up to the two of them and squatted down, “So, the most important thing is to avoid underestimating the enemy. The three of us can survive in the maze for so long, we must have two brushes.”

    But she suspected that neither of the two men on the ground listened.

    One was kicked in the balls, and the other was kicked in the calf bone. The pain was about the same, and it would take a while to recover.

    Qiao Qiao winked at Ah Qing, and the two of them stepped forward skillfully to dig into their pockets and rummage through their bags. The compressed biscuits that the white man had just brought to tempt them quickly went into Ah Qing’s pocket.

    “These two people are so poor.” Zhang Jie muttered, “They don’t have anything good at all, just some food and a knife.”

    Ah Qing: “Forget it, having it is better than not having it. Besides, if they had good stuff, they would have joined those strong teams long ago. Do they still need to fight alone?”

    “Don’t, don’t kill us…” The white man finally regained his composure and began to beg for mercy.

    “Don’t worry, we won’t kill people.” Qiao Qiao gathered up the loot and put it into a temporary bag made of a coat. “You just stay here. If you are lucky, someone will untie it for you.”

    Zhang Jie looked at the dagger on the white man’s leg: “Do you want to pull it out?”

    “No, I think it’s inserted into a major artery. He might bleed to death if he pulls it out. That’s it.”

    “Okay, anyway, I got a new weapon this time. Once it goes in and out, there is no loss.”

    “Someone is coming. I saw the fire.” Zhang Jie said nervously, “Let’s leave quickly.”

    So the three of them quickly ducked into a side road and turned off their flashlights.

    This road is the way they came, so there is no light source and they are not afraid of stepping on the mechanism. It has been cleared.

    After walking for a long time and feeling almost safe, Zhang Jie turned on the flashlight.

    “It’s the last battery.” She said depressedly, “If we don’t replenish the power, we will have to go out in the dark again.”

    “We still have to find a lottery machine.” Qiao Qiao said, “Don’t even think about exchanges. The three of us women are easy to bully at first sight. This time we are lucky. If they hadn’t underestimated the enemy too much, how could we have escaped like this.”

    “But the cooperation is quite tacit. It’s the same as during rehearsal. Sister Xiao Qiao, you grasped the timing very well.”

    “Shh.” Ah Qing suddenly raised his finger, and she listened for a while, “It seems like someone is chasing me.”

    “No way? We’ve already gone this far…”

    “Don’t worry, let’s go!”

    The three of them quickened their pace, but because the battery was running low, they did not dare to walk into an unfamiliar side road rashly. They could only run along the main road, but it was difficult to defeat the pursuers behind them.

    “Grandma’s.” Ah Qing scolded as he ran, “I mercifully let them go without killing them, but turned around and sold us, bah!”

    Qiao Qiao: “Isn’t this obvious? It’s our fault that we didn’t plan our retreat in advance.”

    The pursuers at the rear were getting closer and closer, and when they looked back they could already see the fire in the distance. Zhang Jie had no choice but to choose an unfamiliar side road to get in, not daring to turn on the flashlight. The three of them could only pray that the mechanism here had been cleared.

    Fortunately, they were lucky, until all the pursuers disappeared, the three of them did not touch any mechanism.

    Zhang Jie turned on the flashlight: “What should we do? Go back? We are not familiar with this road, and there is not much electricity left.”

    “We can’t go back.” Qiao Qiao shook his head. “The pursuers may still be on that road, and there are no traces of this road being cleared, which means we were just lucky and didn’t step on the trigger device along the way. But we may not be so lucky when we return the same way.”

    She paused for a moment: “Go forward, you have to do this sooner or later.”

    Ah Qing took out the compressed biscuits and distributed them to the two of them: “I will die as a ghost.”

    “Bah, bah, bah.” Zhang Jie glared at her, “Can you say something auspicious?”

    “If saying auspicious words is useful, I can say the same thing for 24 hours.”

    Qiao Qiao was eating compressed biscuits and remembered something: “Ah Qing, didn’t you say someone would guide us to the exit? It’s been more than ten hours, and why haven’t we found any hints?”

    Ah Qing said depressedly: “I’m also wondering. There should be a hint – maybe it’s hidden somewhere? Waiting for players to discover it?”

    “Impossible. The maze is so big, and there is no communication between each team. Even if a clue is found, it will be monopolized by a certain team. In the end, only a few people can reach the exit.” Qiao Qiao suddenly covered his mouth after speaking, “Is this their purpose?”

    “No, no, there are more than two hundred people entering the second round. If only a dozen people go out in the end, we won’t be able to play in the third round.”

    Qiao Qiao: “It makes sense. Forget it, it’s useless to think about it so much. Let’s find the lottery machine first.”

    Fortunately, God was not too cruel to them. When the battery was about to run out, they finally found a lottery machine.

    After waiting for three hours, the cooling time finally passed. Zhang Jie stretched out her hand to hold down the lottery draw.

    The machine suddenly glowed red.

    “Wow, no way?!” Ah Qing jumped up excitedly, “Special items?! It’s been a long time since I got a special item!”

    “Battery battery battery!!!” Qiao Qiao clasped his hands and prayed hard, “Don’t bring weapons, we have enough weapons!”

    Soon, a boxy suitcase spit out from under the machine.

    “Hey, what is this?”

    The three of them looked at each other, and no one had ever seen such a thing. It was said that the competition had been going on for several days, and the contestants had already drawn almost everything that could be drawn from the machine. No matter how small the probability was, as long as they drew more times, they would always be drawn.But when I took out the box, it was really the first time I saw it.

    “It’s quite heavy.” Qiao Qiao tried to lift it, “There is something inside.”

    “Open it quickly!” Ah Qing rubbed his hands, “I’ve never seen it before. It must be a good thing.”

    Zhang Jie took a deep breath and slowly opened the box.

    “Fuck.”

    Qiao Qiao’s eyes widened: “I’m not dreaming, am I?”

    Ah Qing pinched his face and said, “We probably won’t have the same dream, which means it’s true.”

    There is a neat layer of batteries in the suitcase, and there are more than twenty of them by visual inspection.

    “All batteries?”

    “No.” Zhang Jie was relatively calm, “There is something down there.”

    Open the battery, and there are twenty or thirty coins on the bottom layer.

    “What is this?” Qiao Qiao picked one up and looked at it, “It’s not the currency of a certain country. Why does it look like… a game currency?”

    The English abbreviation of Paradise Island is printed on the front and back of the coin, and there is also a raised bird of paradise on it.

    “Here are the instructions.” Zhang Jie picked up a piece of paper, and Ah Qing and Qiao Qiao immediately approached it.

    The instructions for using the coins were written in five languages ​​on the paper. Basically, there was only one sentence: Please put the coins into the lottery machine, one at a time.

    The three of them looked at each other.

    “It’s so strange. Isn’t it a trap?”

    Zhang Jie winced: “It feels very uneasy to be so generous to us all of a sudden. Why don’t we just throw the coin away and pretend we didn’t see it.”

    Qiao Qiao thought for a moment: “No, I’m not willing to just throw it away. I have to at least throw one in. I don’t believe that the lottery chance will explode on the spot.”

    Ah Qing also thought it was reasonable, so she took the initiative to ask Ying to drop the coins.

    Ah Qing tied a rope around his waist, and the other end of the rope was in the hands of Qiao Qiao and Zhang Jie. The two would hide behind a wall, and if the situation went bad, they would work together to pull Ah Qing back.

    After the preparations were completed, Ah Qing picked up a coin and carefully put it into the lottery machine.

    However, the machine did not respond at all.

    “What’s going on? Are you kidding?”

    Seeing that there was no danger, Zhang Jie and Qiao Qiao also walked out, and the three of them gathered in front of the lottery machine to study.

    “Nothing came out. Is this coin decorative?” Ah Qing also reached into the lower exit and fumbled around, “What are you doing?”

    “Wait a minute!” Qiao Qiao pointed at the screen, “Look!”

    Some options actually appeared on the display screen of the lottery machine, including swords, bread, water bottles… They were all patterns, so there was no language problem and they were easy to understand at a glance.

    “Did this just come out?” Zhang Jie reached out to touch the screen, but accidentally clicked on the bread pattern. The screen flashed and more than a dozen kinds of food appeared on the display.

    Even the stupidest person at this point will understand what’s going on.

    “No way… this is too outrageous.” Qiao Qiao looked struck by lightning, “Is one coin equal to an opportunity to choose a prize at will?”

    “What do you want to eat?” Ah Qing swallowed, “This pattern is steak, right?”

    “Wow, it’s so delicious!” Ah Qing shed tears while eating, “I’ve never thought meat tastes so delicious…”

    Qiao Qiao sniffed: “It’s like I’ve returned to human society again, no longer living like a dog.”

    Zhang Jie was even more exaggerated, sobbing and chewing at the same time: “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, ever since I entered the maze, I’ve been so scared every day. I’m so afraid of death, but if I have steak to eat, it’s worth dying!”

    A piece of steak wasn’t enough, so he tossed in two more coins. Ah Qing chose a large beef burger, and Qiao Qiao chose a whole Chinese-style roast chicken.

    The three of them finished eating in a hurry. Their mouths were full of oil and their hands were full of oil. They couldn’t walk anymore. They sat on the ground holding their stomachs and panting.

    “There seems to be something underneath the coin…”

    Qiao Qiao used his last strength to open the second partition of the box, and a simple and exquisite key lay quietly at the bottom of the box.

    “Wow.” She grabbed the key and said, “I also gave you a small ornament.”

    ‘Didi-didi-‘

    “What is the sound?” Ah Qing said, “Is it the key? Throw it away quickly!”

    Qiao Qiao reacted quickly and threw the key as far away as possible, but the beeping sound did not disappear, but instead sounded more urgently.

    “It doesn’t seem like the keys are ringing…” Zhang Jie said tremblingly, “Sister Xiao Qiao, it seems like your collar is ringing…”

    Qiao Qiao lowered his head and saw that the collar was flashing a strange red light. Along with the beeping sound, the red light flashed faster and faster.

    Before anyone could react, the beeping sound suddenly stopped, and the red light turned into blue light, which continued to light up steadily.

    “What’s going on-”

    “Congratulations to all the players.” The gentle female voice above the head sounded again, “The hidden mission ‘Key to the Labyrinth’ has been opened. Players are asked to look for the person whose collar is shining with blue light. The player who finds and kills him will automatically inherit the blue light. The player with the blue light will be judged as the winner when he reaches the exit of the maze and enjoy the special rights of the next round of competition. The branch line will be open for 24 hours. I wish all players good luck.”
