Survival Paradox [Infinite]

Everyone was silent for a moment in unison, and then Wei Yuan said in a low voice: "Niuuuuh."

Wei Chi looked around, at least as far as they could see, the Science and Technology Museum hadn't changed.

Shuo Shu glanced at the time: "12:07, in line with expectations."

"So what are we going to do now?" Yuan Qi asked.

"Look for clues." Shuo Shu said, "If this world is man-made, there must be clues to the 'builder'. No matter what it is, we must find it."

"You mean... we want to find something that we don't know what it is in this place where death can happen anytime?" Gao Qiusuo asked.

"That's right, it can be anything. A prop, a string of passwords, a sentence, a detail...as long as it is left behind by someone behind the scenes, find it, and remember it with your brain." Shuoshu said, " Remember, this is what we came in for, more than anything else."

"No," retorted Wei Chi, "before looking for anything, we need to secure the exit first."

"Everyone get out safely, this is the premise of everything," he looked around at everyone, and finally stopped on Shuo Shu's face, "more important than any clues."

"Of course." Regardless of what Shuo Shu thought in his heart, at least he agreed verbally, "Then, let's split up first. Just like the volunteer activities in the morning, each person is responsible for one area, which is the most efficient. And You are already familiar with your own area, and it should be easy to find any abnormalities. I will start searching from the top floor and the administrative area. If someone ends up in their area early, they will first check the underground warehouse. In this way, within an hour, We can inspect more than 90% of the Science and Technology Museum, and we can communicate with the communication device if there is any situation in the middle.”

At the airport they discovered that Shuoshu has a device that can communicate in this world, which is one of the conditions for Wei Chi to agree to cooperate with him.

Now each of them has a communication device in their ears to ensure that they can receive the real-time situation of everyone, so Shuoshu can boldly propose to split up.

But the proposal was still met with opposition: "No, I'm scared alone."

It was Ji Jingzhe who spoke.

"I am opposed to acting alone, even if we want to separate, at least two people." Wei Chi said.

Shuoshu repeated the theory of maximizing efficiency. He believed that everyone only knew the area he explained, and adding another person would not double the efficiency, but would prolong the time. Therefore, every two people are responsible for two Regions are much less efficient than each individual responsible for a region.

But this statement is not enough to convince Wei Chi, and it is obvious that everyone here is a staunch supporter of Wei Chi.

Shuo Shu wryly smiled and said, "Okay, two teams. Then can Wei Chi and I work together?"

"No," Wei Chi said immediately, "I'm on the same team as Ji Jingzhe."

Wei Chi thought: Shuoshu must not let Ji Jingzhe's secret know. The safest way is to let him act under his own supervision. Yuan Qi and Gao Qiusuo are two war scumbags. Ji Jingzhe supports them, so they can't be with Shuo Shu, so there is only...

"Yuan Qi and Gao Qiusuo are the rest, you and Wei Yuan can go together." Wei Chi said.

"We have no problem, but..." Yuan Qi looked at Wei Yuan and Shuo Shu.

As expected, Wei Yuan exploded: "Huh? Why should I be with this ever-changing monster?"

Naturally, Ji Jingzhe would not give up this opportunity to fight: "I knew that Chichi loves me the most."

Wei Yuan: "Short lady, shut up! Brother, you can't marry a daughter-in-law and forget about your younger brother!"

Wei Chi asked Shuo Shu: "Is it possible?"

Shuo Shu was expressionless: "It doesn't matter."

"That's it." Wei Chi nodded.

Wei Yuan wailed: "No!"

Too bad no one paid him any attention.

"It took a lot of time..." Shuo Shu said while looking at his watch.

Gao Qiusuo found that he was holding a remote control that appeared at an unknown time.

"what is that?"

"Secret weapon." Shuo Shu stuffed the remote control into his pocket, glanced at Wei Yuan who was still thinking, and suddenly smiled, "Aren't you curious, when all the personnel are cleared, we will still What danger is there?"

Yuan Qi, Wei Yuan and Gao Qiusuo: "Huh?"

Wei Chi looked at the three people who were suddenly stunned, and was also very shocked: "You don't think the world will be safe after clearing away people, do you?"

Wei Yuan said pitifully: "Isn't it..."

Wei Chi felt a headache: "I thought you guys just showed up this morning because you were mentally prepared."

Yuan Qi suddenly let out an "ah" and raised his finger to point to the top of his head. Behind him was the restored skeleton of a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex exhibited in the hall of the Science and Technology Museum.

Wei Yuan swallowed: "No way..."

Gao Qiusuo said, "No, I don't think this should be possible."

Just as they were discussing the possible dangers in the Science and Technology Museum excitedly, Ji Jingzhe, who had been standing by the side, suddenly said to Shuo Shu: "Are you sure everyone is cleared?"

"Of course." Shuo Shu clicked on his mobile phone. It was a real-time monitoring program that he used at the airport before, which could monitor the activities of all people within the range. Now it clearly shows that there are only six of them in the entire science and technology museum. personal.

"Then what is that?" Ji Jingzhe stretched out a hand.

Wei Chi looked in the direction of his fingers, and there was a little boy sitting on the spiral staircase connecting the hall and the second floor, looking at them with his head propped on his hands.

"Stand back." Shushu took out the gun, quickly loaded the bullet, and aimed at one go, "This time it's not gummy bears."

Just as he was pulling the trigger with his finger, Yuan Qi suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

"I, I seem to have seen this kid," he said, "while visiting this morning."

Ji Jingzhe: "I've seen it too."

"That said, I seem to..." Gao Qiusuo said.

"You are all on different floors, how could you see the same child?" Shuoshu didn't shake the hand holding the gun, "There are so many children, I must have misremembered them."

"I'm sure!" Yuan Qi walked up to Shuoshu and grabbed his hand as if he was afraid of him going off, "Because he asked a question... At that time, everyone else was making trouble, but he was the only one who asked..."

Wei Yuan also remembered at this time, he, Ji Jingzhe and Gao Qiusuo said almost at the same time: "What is 1 plus 1?"

Shuo Shu's face froze: "This is impossible."

"Take out the EMF," Wei Chi heard himself say, "Hurry up!"

Gao Qiusuo frantically picked out the electromagnetic detector that was despised by everyone from the item box they threw on the ground. As soon as he turned on the power, the thing started beeping.

"What does this mean?" Gao Qiusuo asked tremblingly.

Shuoshu was silent, and suddenly pulled the trigger without saying a word, which made Yuan Qi's scalp numb, but after the unexpected gunshot, they saw the child sitting there unharmed.

The "little boy" looked at them motionless. After a few seconds, he suddenly stood up and smiled happily as if seeing his favorite toy, climbed up the stairs to the second floor and disappeared.

As the little boy ran away, the EMF in Gao Qiusuo's hand gradually quieted down.

"Damn," Wei Yuan said with disbelief all over his face, "we've gone to hell."

"Thank you for your reminder," Shuoshu put away the gun, and said with a sting in his voice, "It's really useful."

"What's your secret weapon?" Wei Yuan asked.

"Things that have nothing to do with the current situation."

Wei Yuan imitated his tone just now: "Really? That's really useful."

"Chi Chi?" Ji Jingzhe pulled Wei Chi's hand, who was staring intently at the stairs where the little boy disappeared.

"I'm fine." Wei Chi continued to look at it for a few seconds before turning his gaze away, and said to the few people except Shuoshu, "I need you to tell me everything about the boy you met this morning."

"When I was taking them to prepare paints, a child squeezed blue and yellow together, and I told them that adding one color to another color would make other colors, and then this boy suddenly appeared and asked What is 1 plus 1 equal to?"

"I was teaching them what to do when someone passed out, and I pretended to be choked on something, and then fell to the ground, with a bunch of kids jumping on top of me... That's not the point, anyway, I just pretended to be unconscious, I didn’t wake up until a child said to call 120, and when I opened my eyes, I saw this child in front of me, so he asked that.”

"I don't really remember what I was talking about at that time, I just remember that when I was going from one fun laboratory to another, all the children left, only one stood there without moving, so I went up and asked him what happened. Yes, and then he asked: Teacher, what is 1 plus 1 equal to?"

"Towards the end, a kid climbed on my shoulders, and the other kids saw it and wanted to climb too, and I said it's only one person, one more person will collapse, and then one of the kids hugged my leg. Just ask what is 1 plus 1, and it is this boy."

Shuo Shu: "So none of you saw how he appeared?"

All four shook their heads.

"And then?" Wei Chi asked, "After he finished asking the question, how did you answer it?"

Yuan Qi: "I said it was 2."

Wei Yuan: "It's equal to 2."

Gao Qiusuo: "It's equal to 2."

Ji Jingzhe: "3."

Realizing that everyone was looking at him, Ji Jingzhe made a face.

Shuo Shu: "Why do you say that?"

"It's fun." Ji Jingzhe spread her hands, "It's so boring to answer one by one."

Wei Yuan: "You can even lie to children, I despise you."

"Are you the one who captured the heart of the Spanish big sister with this kind of fun?" Wei Chi asked casually while memorizing what they said.

"That's not true," Ji Jingzhe said solemnly, "I swear, I rely on [-]% beauty."
