Doomsday Wonderland

Sure enough, just as Lin Sanjiu had expected, after the brown glasses fell asleep, the second half of the road became smooth and windless. Beginning with Jia Jiatian, several people followed the yellow arrows and went down, spiraling down the corridors and stairs layer by layer, gradually approaching the first floor.

"Why do you put an ordinary person at the beginning of the road?" Seeing that the end of the road was about to be reached, Pina also relaxed a lot, and asked Jia Jiatian, "You still pretend to do something to her yourself, Are you not afraid of a violent evolutionary person who will kill her without a word?"

"Basic means of protection, of course there are." Jia Jiatian glanced at her and replied.

"Then why choose an ordinary person?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but hesitate. "The role she plays seems to be enough for a dungeon creature, so there's no need to pull an ordinary person into the dungeon."

When Jia Jiatian heard this, he laughed, as if he had been waiting for them to ask. "You guys remember what I said, our copy is very socially responsible and pays great attention to social impact, right?"

He didn't give a few people a chance to shake their heads, and continued: "While operating as a dungeon, we also use the conditions and resources in the dungeon to repay the society as much as possible."

Where did the society come from? Isn't this copy in the middle of the sea?

"What society, you want to repay the society, why do you harm the evolutionary?" Pina asked.

"How arrogant," Jia Jiatian clicked his tongue and said, "Is society equal to your evolutionary people? Are ordinary people not human? The advantage of our dungeon is that the space conditions are good, the area is large, and it is suitable to accommodate some ordinary people here. Life. This is a copy of the evolutionary, and it is also a rescue shelter for ordinary people."

Lin Sanjiu simply felt that he heard it wrong - but Jia Jiatian's words were not finished.

"Of course, due to various restrictions and objective conditions, we currently contain very few ordinary people, including the one you see, there are only four. How to make these ordinary people adapt to the life of the copy, how to make them become Part of the operation of the dungeon requires a lot of brains... Not to mention, the dungeon is the form of a big city in the pre-apocalyptic society, and how to let ordinary people in the post-apocalypse learn a modern way of life is a problem."

Indeed, brown glasses will also use the computer.

"I still want to be rescued," Pina muttered.

"You don't need it," Jia Jiatian retorted. "As an evolutionary, since you have the ability to be responsible for your own destiny, you should be responsible for your own destiny."

What he said made Pina choked, and she was speechless.

"When you were playing an evolutionist, it seemed that it was not the same as it is now..." Pina said reluctantly after half a minute.

"Where, my acting skills are not that good," Jia Jiatian replied with a smile - as if someone had praised him just now. "It's an amazing talent to be able to play different roles at will. Oh, we're at the end of the road."

After a few people pushed open the corridor door, they entered the lobby on the first floor. Lin Sanjiu looked around the hall from side to side; the yellow arrows under their feet greeted a sign not far from the door, which was completely terminated. Through the glass doors, the street and city outside remained empty.

After touching the sign and taking back the bets and chips, a few people followed Jia Jiatian out of the building; standing on the level open space, Lin Sanjiu asked, "Where should we go next?"

"I know your plan," Jia Jiatian gave her a knowing smile. "With me, you can go straight to the finish line. After you get there, you fail the interview on purpose, or change your mind temporarily. If you refuse to join the dungeon, you think I have no choice but to watch you leave."

Lin Sanjiu folded her arms and didn't speak—she knew that Jia Jiatian didn't finish her words.

"However, I can't let you guys finish the dungeon and leave." Jia Jiatian seemed to be quite confident in Lin Sanjiu's ability, and felt that she might indeed take everyone away smoothly. "So I'm going to make a compromise... I'll take you to the end, but you still have to bet on each road on the way to clear the customs."

The expressions of several people changed at the same time. Lin Sanjiu was about to open his mouth to protest when Jia Jiatian waved his hand.

"It's a great help to have me guide you in the right direction. Otherwise, there are some unfortunate people who can't find the right direction after wandering around the city and suffering, and there are also some." Jia Jiatian smiled. Say, "Since you claim to be interested in joining the copy, you might as well think of the process as the interview itself."

"what do you mean-"

"Yes," Jia Jiatian nodded and said, "I will tell you the right direction, you will complete the road through your own efforts, and when you reach the end, even if you pass the interview, you will be automatically recruited... Not bad?"

His move completely exceeded Lin Sanjiu's expectations—no wonder when he went downstairs on the first floor, Jia Jiatian neither nodded nor denied, but walked with them vaguely; it turned out to be buying time, thinking There is such a way.

"Of course, don't feel discouraged," Jia Jiatian said in a big way, "If you rely on yourselves to run around like flies without heads, then according to the calculation of the copy, the winners who reach the end will have to walk an average of 38 paths. If I lead the way, let me see... Well, there are four roads, you only need to walk four roads to reach the end."

Lin Sanjiu turned to look at Pina and Pan Cui, and motioned for them to discuss with him.

Even if the two of them disagreed, Lin Sanjiu knew that she would definitely nod her head and agree. Although "automatic onboarding" sounds a bit scary, since this dungeon adopts the "employment" mode, she doesn't believe that she can't find a way to wrestle with the dungeon - for example, she can find loopholes, find faults, delay time... Anyway , she must reach the end.

In such a vast and boundless city, only the end point can give her the best chance to reunite with her friends.

"Since you've made up your mind," after discussing for a while, Pan Cui covered her neck and said angrily, "Then I'll go with you too."

Pina bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded. "Is there a way you can avoid auto-onboarding us?"

"I'll try my best," Lin Sanjiu said with a sigh.

For the decision of the three, Jia Jiatian seemed very satisfied, and his face lit up.

"It seems that you are quite sincere in your desire to join our dungeon." He turned around, waved to the road in the distance, and shouted with enthusiasm like a tour guide: "Okay, then let's go!"

The direction he walked with his few people was the right shortcut to the end...

Lin Sanjiu thought of this, and deliberately fell to the end of the team slowly. Pina and Pan Cui took cover for her; when Jia Jiatian was not paying attention, she called the painter out for a short moment - the painter didn't even have a chance to look around the environment, and she was stealing the paint. After finishing with the brush, it was put back into the card library.

She doesn't have much time, and Jia Jiatian may look back at any time and notice her small movements; so every time she finishes drawing a small arrow on the ground, she quickly writes two numbers: 39.

Lin Sanjiu hopes that among the people helped by these little arrows, there will be Puppet Master, Yu Yuan and Yuan Xiangxi.

Lin Sanjiu also started calling himself 39, all thanks to the hard work of everyone watching Doomsday.

ps: I hope you don’t get too depressed because of the recent social news. This is how I see it: Don’t forget these news. The pain of others can’t just be exchanged for our momentary indignation. At least we must have a clear understanding of certain issues. It takes a lot of courage to not accept the superficial answer of perfunctory maintenance of stability and ask "why".
