Chapter 114 You Are The Third Person
Chapter 114 You Are The Third Person
Before I opened my eyes, I just felt dizzy in my head, and my body fell straight into the void.
When all senses returned to his body, Ji Siwei slowly opened his eyes.
Although the light was not very bright, it was still a bit dazzling to someone who had just traveled through the darkness, so he subconsciously raised his hand to cover it.
After his eyes got used to it, he moved his palm away and saw the gray sky with a few thin clouds floating on it, moving slowly.
Although there is some fog in the sky, the visibility is still relatively high, and tall buildings and buildings are arranged neatly and endlessly.
They seem to have experienced terrible things, some were broken in the middle, and some glass was shattered.
The towering trees do not know where they are rooted, their branches pass through the walls of the building, stick out of the windows, and their branches and leaves stretch in the wind.
Looking up, the steel jungle was mostly occupied by plants, turning into a real jungle.
From time to time, birds as big as eagles can be seen flying across the sky and drilling into the canopy.
Looking at the scene in front of him, his mind became clear, and Ji Siwei suddenly thought of a question, and his heart skipped a beat.
Where is he standing in order to have this perspective?
A gust of wind blew by, lifting the corners of his clothes and hair, Ji Siwei lowered his gaze, and saw the ground so far away that he couldn't clearly identify it.
With a slight movement of footsteps, the gravel fell, and soon disappeared into the lush leaves. He seemed to be standing on the edge of an abyss. If he was not careful, he would fall to pieces.
Visually, the building was about seventy or eighty stories high, and he was standing on the wall of the building's roof at this time.
If the wind was stronger, it could blow him down.
If you are less courageous, your legs will be weak when you open your eyes, and you may stumble and fall.
He noticed some blood on the outside of the building and on the broken branches. It looked fresh, and someone might have just fallen from it.
"You are the No.13 person. The tenth person who appeared accidentally fell down and died."
A voice sounded behind him, calm, young, with a serious tone.
Looking around, Ji Siwei squatted down, supported the wall with one hand and jumped down, landing firmly on the roof.
The eight-tailed cat in his arms hadn't woken up yet, so Ji Siwei tried to keep his movements as light as possible.
After confirming that the puppet was in his pocket and his backpack was well carried, Ji Siwei looked at the man who had just talked to him.
This is a young man in a white coat, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed round-frame glasses, with hair combed to both sides, and a fair face.
With a mask over his ears and a stethoscope around his neck, he might have been working in a hospital before he entered the dungeon.
Behind him, there are still many people standing.
After a rough calculation, including myself, there are exactly twelve.
As the doctor said, a mission worker fell to his death, and he was the No. 13 person who appeared here.
Among these people, some looked calm, they looked like experienced veterans, some looked flustered, some frowned, and some wept softly.
The reaction was similar to that of the taskers encountered in the previous dungeons.
However, the dungeon of thirteen missionaries is probably more difficult than the dungeon of Linan Guzhai.
"Hi, my name is Huya."
Ji Siwei smiled politely at the doctor and said hello.
The doctor was surprised by his attitude, and he was stunned for a moment before saying, "Hi, my name is Xu, you can call me Dr. Xu."
After Dr. Xu finished speaking, he looked him up and down: "You look a little young, are you still in school? It's not easy to have such a good mental quality."
"Temporary suspension of school." Ji Siwei chatted with him while observing the surrounding environment and other taskers, hoping to get some information from them.
This terrace is very spacious, with some sundries piled up, the flower beds originally planted with ornamental plants are overgrown with weeds, there is an equipment room and a stairwell.
There is a corridor on the north side, which connects to a mirrored building.
For unknown reasons, most of the middle of the corridor was broken, and the steel bars were exposed, leaving only a spacious section of concrete about [-] centimeters connecting the two ends, which looked like a single-plank bridge in the sky.
Hearing Ji Siwei say that he was taking a break from school, Dr. Xu realized that he had asked about privacy, and changed the subject: "Why did you bring the cat in?"
Anyway, Yawei couldn't hear it, so Ji Siwei made up a reason: "It's clingy, and it can't leave me."
Dr. Xu didn't seem to be very good at chatting. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to answer, so the topic ended here.
After the two of them fell silent, the others started talking.
"What's going on in this world, the place of birth is so dangerous, and there are no people everywhere."
The person who spoke was a tall man who also wore glasses, but they were black-framed square ones. He was wearing a plaid shirt, and he exuded the air of a steel engineering man.
A young woman with light makeup and a kitchen knife in her hand spoke up: "Who knows, there is no NPC to give us a reminder of the background and tasks."
"Now it seems that we have to find the task ourselves." The man in the plaid shirt said, "My name is Wei Qi, and I'm an architect. What's your name?"
The young woman laughed, and stretched out her hand to Wei Qi: "Half a colleague, Mr. Wei, I major in environmental design, and now I am doing landscape design. My name is Yingying."
"Are you in the design institute or the design company?" Wei Qi and Yingying shook hands, raised eyebrows: "Why do you bring a kitchen knife when you enter the dungeon?"
"I work in a private company. It's terrible. I work overtime all day, and my head is almost bald." Yingying said, "It's so dangerous to be unarmed. A kitchen knife is also a weapon. It can defend yourself at critical moments."
"It makes sense." Wei Qi pulled out an iron scale from behind: "This can be considered half a weapon."
"The weapon must be ready."
Dressed in black, the tall and slender woman with short hair said lightly: "After all, this is a post-apocalyptic dungeon. There are many dangers. If you are not careful, you will lose your life."
As soon as this remark came out, the crowd boiled and discussed in a hurry.
"A copy of the end of the world?!"
"This environment looks really bad, and it's not impossible."
"It's over, I said that there are so many taskers, the task must not be easy."
When everyone was discussing in full swing, an uncle in a yellow helmet and blue overalls silently raised his hand: "Excuse me, can someone explain to me what is going on? Who, why am I here?"
When no one answered him, Wei Qi suddenly asked, "Uncle, were you a supervisor at a construction site before?"
The uncle said: "Yes, I am a construction contractor."
Wei Qi: "Then we are half of the same company."
Amidst the noisy discussion, the eight-tailed cat woke up, rolled its green eyes around, stretched half in Ji Siwei's arms, and rubbed its head against his chest.
Seeing this scene, Dr. Xu and Ji Siwei said, "This cat is really clingy."
Eight-tailed cat: "???"
Who clings?
Who?
With a smile on his lips, Ji Siwei made a silent gesture with Dr. Xu.
Taking a look at the sky, Ji Siwei became serious.
Time to get down to business.
After taking a few steps forward, Ji Siwei interrupted the conversation of others loudly:
"Guys, I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation. It's better to put other questions aside. I suggest leaving this building first and finding some food and a safe place to spend the night before dark."
Through their conversations and reactions, Ji Siwei could tell which people were newcomers and which were old people.
Not counting the one who fell to his death, there were only three newcomers this time, and the proportion was not high.
There were many elderly people. After hearing Ji Siwei's suggestion, they felt that it was reasonable, and they all expressed their approval.
The newcomer knew nothing about the situation and could only follow everyone.
A group of people entered the stairwell and walked to the elevator.
There was no response after pressing the elevator button a few times, Wei Qi frowned: "No, the elevator is malfunctioning."
"It's also possible that the building doesn't have electricity at all." The short-haired woman said, "Take the stairs."
Someone cried and said, "Miss, this building is estimated to have seventy or eighty floors, and if you walk down, you will lose your legs!"
The short-haired woman glanced at him lightly: "Then you stay here?"
The man was at a loss for words, "I, I, I" for a long time without saying a word.
The uncle foreman was the first to respond: "What's wrong with taking the stairs? Just think of it as exercise. You young people are playing with your mobile phones all day long. Do you know that you lack exercise?"
I don’t know how many times I heard this sentence from my parents at home. It’s like a curse, and I answered “yes” one after another, and hurried up the stairs.
After going down two floors, the person walking in front stopped.
A big hole was knocked out of the wall by something, and the masonry completely sealed the stairway.
Lush branches protruded from the hole, and there was a nest of birds on it.
Looking outside, there are broken cities and endless sky.
This world is too unreal.
"Damn it, how can this go on? We won't let us jump off the building, and then all the members will be annihilated, and the whole show will end?"
The shaved man grumbled harshly.
Wei Qi shook his head: "Jumping off a building is impossible, even in this lifetime."
Someone suggested: "How about we remove the bricks here?"
Yingying sighed: "How clear are there so many? Besides, judging by the size of this tree, even if the stairs below are not blocked by bricks, they are also blocked by branches."
Wei Qi added: "On the top floor, I saw the construction drawings posted on the wall. There is only one staircase in this building."
After discussing for a long time, no feasible solution was reached, and everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Ji Siwei was not in a hurry, and said in detail: "Do you remember, there is a corridor on the roof. We can go to the opposite building through the corridor, and then go down to the ground through that building."
As soon as the words fell, someone refuted him: "Are you crazy? What happened to that corridor? The height of the seventy or eighty floors, do you know the consequences of falling?"
Ji Siwei said casually: "Didn't you just see someone fall with your own eyes?"
The man roared loudly: "That's why I said you are crazy!"
"Okay, stop arguing." Dr. Xu held down the shouting boy: "Huya is right, we only have this choice right now."
The short-haired girl calmly analyzed: "If we stay here all the time, let alone what will happen after dark, we will soon starve to death due to lack of food."
Ji Siwei raised his long eyebrows, his bright eyes were filled with calmness: "If I'm not mistaken, the load-bearing structure of the corridor is not damaged. If you are worried, you can ask the architect to confirm."
After finishing speaking, he didn't look at the reaction of the crowd, and walked up directly.
"I think he makes a lot of sense."
The short-haired woman nodded and followed.
The crowd remained silent, followed by a boy carrying a long black bag.
Doctor Xu didn't hesitate much, and walked slowly behind the boy.
The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to make up their minds for a while.
"I'll go see what's going on in the corridor." Wei Qi muttered, turned and walked up.
"Go and see, take a gamble."
"That's it."
Everyone made up their minds to follow Ji Siwei's footsteps and return to the rooftop again.
The boy holding the black cat found an iron water pipe from nowhere, and was beating the bricks and stones on the corridor: "Wei Gong, what do you think?"
Wei Qi nodded: "You are right. Although the middle of the corridor is broken, there is no problem with the load-bearing structure, so it should be safe."
The water pipe kept hitting the railing on the corridor, Ji Siwei said, "In that case, I'll go find the way first."
"That's it?" Wei Qi swallowed, looking at the broken corridor that was more exciting and thrilling than the transparent glass bridge: "You don't think about it anymore?"
"I never do anything I'm not sure about."
Ji Siwei hugged the cat and stepped onto the corridor, his steps were as easy as walking on the beach.
On the contrary, the onlookers standing on the rooftop were frightened and did not dare to breathe loudly.
