#139 - Stunning performance, at your fingertips!
Chapter 139: Amazing Performance, Everything Under Control!
Inside the first level's escape room.
Everyone was desperately searching for clues.
As the temperature in the sauna gradually increased, everyone became more and more anxious.
Now they were all ordinary people and couldn't withstand the high temperature at all!
"What's the temperature now?"
"It's already broken 60 degrees…"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression became even more anxious.
Everyone searched desperately, turning the sauna room upside down, but found nothing.
When the temperature in the sauna room exceeded 70 degrees, a prompt popped up in everyone's left eye:
【Sacrifice three teammates to enter the next level!】
Upon seeing this prompt, everyone's expression changed.
Everyone looked at their teammates, their expressions strange.
Only Zhao Zheng was the calmest in the entire room.
Because he had already recognized where this sauna escape room came from, and he also knew the method of escape.
The reason he hadn't acted was that Zhao Zheng planned to observe the performance of these people first.
Just then.
Suddenly, Wang Fei found something under the cabinet and shouted:
"I found a card!"
At this moment.
The lights in the sauna room suddenly turned red.
Moreover, a large amount of water vapor poured into the sauna room.
Immediately, everyone felt an intense stuffiness.
Although the temperature in the sauna room was high before, it didn't feel particularly hot because it was a dry sauna with little moisture in the air. But if there was more water vapor, it would be completely different.
At this moment, everyone felt extremely uncomfortable.
A suffocating feeling of death began to envelop everyone!
"What is it? What's the answer?"
Jiang Hebin was anxiously pacing back and forth, his face full of fear.
He was afraid of death!
The others were also anxious, but no one could answer Jiang Hebin's question.
These two random sentences left everyone clueless as to which direction to guess, how could they guess the answer?
Suddenly.
Zhou Junjie took down the knife hanging on the wall and pointed the blade at himself.
"Junjie, what are you doing?" Chen Kai exclaimed.
Zhou Junjie's expression was very calm as he said: "I'm fulfilling my promise to sacrifice myself."
"Don't be silly!" Chen Kai hurriedly said: "There's still time, there's no need for this!"
Zhou Junjie shook his head: "It's too late, if we don't pass this level, everyone will die here."
Hearing the last sentence, the others who wanted to stop him couldn't say anything.
Afraid of death!
It's human nature.
Even Zhou Junjie himself didn't want to die here.
"Good brother, you go first, I'll come and accompany you soon!" Wang Fei chimed in.
Everyone was speechless at this guy's words, but also very touched…
Now two people had volunteered to sacrifice themselves, as long as one more person was sacrificed, they could pass the level.
Just as Zhou Junjie was about to act.
Suddenly, two voices sounded almost simultaneously.
"It's stone!"
"It should be stone!"
The former affirmative tone was from Zhao Zheng.
The latter uncertain tone was from Song Haitang!
Zhao Zheng already knew everything about this escape room, so he was very certain.
What surprised him was that Song Haitang could also think of the answer.
Worthy of being a top student!
The two of them also attracted everyone's attention.
Zhao Zheng said to Song Haitang: "Haitang, tell us your thoughts."
Time was of the essence, and Song Haitang didn't decline, immediately saying: "I think this is a character puzzle that removes radicals. 'Rock peak unseen', the character 'rock' without the mountain peak is the character 'stone'. 'Truly homeless', the character 'truly' without the roof radical is the character 'head'."
Everyone suddenly understood.
Afterward.
Everyone's gaze turned to the places with stones around them.
"So, the key is hidden in these piles of stones?"
"According to the hint in the riddle, it should be!"
"Don't just stand there, hurry up and look!"
Everyone rushed towards the piles of stones on both sides and began to search.
There were three piles of stones in the sauna room, on the left and right sides, and in the middle.
The piles of stones on the left and right sides were for decoration.
The stones in the middle furnace were used to evaporate water vapor and increase the temperature.
At this moment, the stones in the middle furnace had been burned black and were definitely extremely hot.
Everyone subconsciously believed that the key would definitely not be in the furnace.
…
At this time.
The temperature in the sauna room had soared to over eighty degrees.
With the addition of water vapor, it was extremely stuffy.
Everyone's face was steamed red, and they were covered in sweat.
But everyone was not in the mood to pay attention to themselves at this moment, only wanting to find the key as soon as possible.
But they just couldn't find it…
"No! No… Where is the key?" Wang Yuqing cried anxiously.
Zhao Zheng finally took action.
He grabbed the towel next to him, wrapped it around his hand, and then rummaged through the furnace.
Soon.
He found a magnet.
The next moment.
He took the magnet and came to the glass door.
The glass door was tempered and couldn't be smashed!
Behind the glass door, there was a lock, and the lock bolt was made of pure iron.
Zhao Zheng pressed the magnet against the glass door, and the powerful magnetic force immediately attracted the iron lock bolt outside the door.
Afterward.
Zhao Zheng dragged the magnet, and the iron lock bolt outside the door also moved…
Seeing this.
Everyone was overjoyed!
"Clang!"
When Zhao Zheng removed the magnet, the iron lock bolt outside the door fell directly to the ground.
And losing the iron lock bolt, the lock was opened.
The way to escape was revealed in front of everyone.
"Great, the door is open."
"Damn! Brother Zhao, you're the best! (thumbs up)"
"Using a magnet to attract the iron lock bolt, how did you think of that, Brother Zhao? You're really amazing!"
"Brother Zhao is mighty!"
Everyone was so excited that they were incoherent, and extremely happy.
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng smiled and said: "Save the flattery for later, hurry up and leave here! Unless you still want to steam for a while!"
Of course, no one wanted to continue steaming.
Just now, in that short period, everyone's body was soaked with sweat.
It could even be said that after this spiritual realm experience, many people would probably develop a psychological shadow about saunas and would never go to similar places again.
Next.
Everyone followed the exit and left the sauna room one after another.
…
In the viewing hall.
Just now, the performance of Zhao Zheng, Jiang Hebin, and others was all seen by everyone.
Even the words they said were heard clearly by everyone.
Before, when they couldn't find the key, everyone in the hall was sweating for them.
Until Zhao Zheng stood up and solved the problem in a few strokes, allowing the team members to escape, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.
Then.
Discussions arose:
"They finally passed safely!"
"Yeah! Seeing their performance, I thought we would have to sacrifice a few people to pass this time."
"Fortunately, that young man named Zhao Zheng performed well and found a way to pass."
"No wonder they chose him as the captain, this kid does have some extraordinary abilities."
"I heard before that Zhao Zheng and that Song Haitang can always achieve god-like performances, relying not only on Song Haitang's talent ability but also on Zhao Zheng's brain. The two cooperate with each other to achieve perfect mission evaluations… It seems the rumors are true!"
"So, while Song Haitang is worth paying attention to, Zhao Zheng's importance is also significant?"
"Yeah! Anyway, this kid is far from what the internet says, just a gigolo…"
It could be said.
Zhao Zheng's performance just now changed everyone's perception of him.
President Song frowned slightly as he listened to these discussions.
He couldn't help but wonder if his own views were wrong.
Just then.
The screen in the hall switched to a scene of ice and snow.
Zhao Zheng and his team had arrived here.
Seeing this scene.
Many people in the hall were surprised.
"What's going on? Why didn't that captain give up?"
"Does Zhao Zheng still want to continue?"
"Hasn't anyone told them that once the challenge starts, they can't quit halfway through?"
"This kid is just messing around!"
"Perhaps, this kid is confident in himself, thinking he can still win the championship this time?"
"But he can't gamble with Song Haitang's life!"
"You're wrong about that. Which level in the Spirit Realm isn't full of danger?"
"Stop arguing, they're starting…"
…
The second stage of the escape room.
Was a place of ice and snow.
Zhao Zheng smiled as soon as he saw it.
Another scene he was familiar with…
The others began to explore the surrounding environment.
"Be careful of the ground!"
Zhao Zheng suddenly reminded, "We're standing on ice, and there's a river underneath. The current is very strong, and falling in is certain death."
The team members heard this and quickly looked down.
Sure enough, they all saw the water flowing under the ice.
"Everyone be careful when walking, don't step hard on the ice." Zhao Zheng said again.
The crowd nodded, walking cautiously.
After their performance in the first stage, the team members now had great faith in Zhao Zheng, their captain.
Moreover, when everyone came in just now, their eyes were looking around, but no one noticed the river under the ice, only Zhao Zheng discovered it…
Such observation is indeed extraordinary.
Stronger than all of them!
"Everyone split up and search, and report everything you find."
Zhao Zheng said it once, then reminded, "If you find anything strange, notify me in time, don't move it easily."
"The temperature here is very low. We were all sweating in the sauna just now, so we need to leave here as soon as possible!"
What he said made sense.
The team members all agreed!
Because, at this time, everyone was already feeling the cold.
Especially since their clothes were soaked with sweat before, and now being blown by the cold wind was extremely uncomfortable.
The escape room created by the Spirit Realm is really torturous.
"I found a fishing rod, but there's no hook."
"There's a door over here, it should be the exit, but it's locked and needs a key to open it."
"There's a gap in the ice on my side, and there seems to be something inside."
"I found a down jacket…"
…
Everyone reported their findings.
Zhao Zheng immediately walked towards Wang Fei's direction.
What Wang Fei found was the gap in the ice.
When the team members came to Wang Fei's side, they did see a circular gap in the ice, as if it had been dug out artificially.
In addition, there was a piece of metal in the gap, hanging on the nearby water plants, and it hadn't been washed away by the water.
"Look, look at the shape, it seems like… a key… Achoo!" Jiang Hebin said, and sneezed.
At this moment.
Everyone was getting colder and colder, and some people were shivering from the cold.
Even Song Haitang's little face was frozen white.
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng didn't hide anything and immediately said, "Zhang Chenggang, give me your fishing rod."
Zhang Chenggang heard this and immediately handed the fishing rod to Zhao Zheng.
Everyone found that although there was fishing line on the fishing rod, there was no hook at the end of the fishing line.
"There's no hook either, how can we hook the key up?" Wang Fei asked.
Zhao Zheng said, "There must be something missing, everyone look carefully again."
The team members heard this and went to search.
"Brother Zhao, this down jacket… you should put it on first!" Wang Yuqing said.
She was the one who found the down jacket before.
Zhao Zheng took the down jacket unceremoniously, but didn't put it on, but kept groping the down jacket with his hands.
Soon.
He seemed to have touched something, and then used force to tear the down jacket open.
"Tear!"
He tore a hole in the liner of the down jacket.
Then.
A magnet fell out, falling on the ice.
In fact, Zhao Zheng already knew.
The magnet was in the down jacket.
It's just.
He couldn't say it directly, so as not to expose his secret of "knowing everything in advance".
"The thing has been found, you don't need to look anymore."
Zhao Zheng shouted, and then tied the magnet to the fishing line.
He didn't throw away the torn down jacket, but handed it to Song Haitang next to him.
"Haitang, put it on!"
Although Zhao Zheng's tone was commanding.
However, Song Haitang's pretty face showed a touch of emotion.
The fact that Zhao Zheng still knew to think of her in this environment, fearing that she would catch a cold, was enough to show that Zhao Zheng had her in his heart.
The girl obediently took the down jacket and put it on.
The others didn't say anything when they saw this.
…
In the viewing hall.
Seeing Zhao Zheng's bright performance, everyone's eyes lit up.
President Song stared intently at his daughter's expression.
Seeing his daughter's moved expression, he knew that his wishful thinking would not work.
This kid from the Zhao family is too good at it.
Even at this critical moment, he doesn't forget to take care of Song Haitang…
With his understanding of his daughter, I'm afraid his daughter is already devoted to this kid from the Zhao family.
…
"Brother Zhao, you're really amazing, you can even find this!"
Wang Yuqing couldn't help but praise when she saw Zhao Zheng tying the magnet to the fishing line.
The down jacket was in her hands just now, and she also checked the pockets of the down jacket, but she never expected that the magnet was hidden in the liner of the down jacket.
"It's nothing, you can find it if you're a little careful."
Zhao Zheng replied casually, picking up the fishing rod.
The magnet had already been tied.
He carefully put the magnet into the gap, and then slowly continued to lower it, letting the magnet enter the river and slowly approach the key.
After a while.
Under his control, the magnet successfully attracted the key.
"It's hooked, pull it up quickly." Yu Zhong couldn't help but say.
Jiang Hebin immediately retorted and scolded, "Azhong, shut up, don't disturb Brother Zhao."
Yu Zhong heard this and immediately shut his mouth.
Zhao Zheng was not disturbed, and still maintained his own rhythm, carefully lifting the fishing rod.
He knew everything here very well, and knew very well that there was something else hidden on the key!
Things are not as simple as imagined…
