Chapter 142: To Become Lighter
Chu Tianqiu stood up slowly and stopped looking at the chessboard on the table. Instead, he walked to a dining table and stopped.
There was an exquisite breakfast he had prepared for himself.
"Dong dong dong——"
There was a faint knock on the door, and Chu Tianqiu paused in his movements.
"What?" he asked.
"If it were a dead person, would it be difficult to explain?" said the man outside the door.
"It doesn't matter if everyone here is dead, as long as that smart-aleck Qi Xia is still alive." Chu Tianqiu showed a strange smile, "At this time, he is both smart and arrogant. We must take the most painful..." Regret" was given to him. "
"I know." The man outside the door was silent for a while, and then slowly left.
…
The four of them, Qi Xia, were clinging to the wall and taking deep nervous breaths.
The two ends of the seesaw have entered a very strange stable state.
"We are so lucky..." Yun Yao murmured to herself, "The weight of the two rooms happens to be the same..."
"Rather than say we are lucky...it is better to say that the "Human Dragon" arranged it this way. "Qi Xia gritted his teeth and said, "It's the best situation to be in a stalemate now. If we can keep in a stalemate until we find a solution..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room with several people began to slowly descend again.
Qi Xia wanted to "stalemate", but the other party didn't want to "stalemate".
"Since you want to die..." Qi Xia gritted his teeth, "Don't blame me."
"What should we do?" Qiao Jiajin pressed against the wall, cold sweat streaming down his face, "How can we be lighter than the other party?"
Tiantian looked at the long knife in Qiao Jiajin's hand, swallowed her saliva, and said, "Could it be that we need to cut off a hand..."
"Don't be stupid." Qi Xia interrupted Tiantian's thoughts, "No matter which hand you chop off, you can't throw it out in this sealed room. Our weight will always remain the same."
"This..." Tiantian lowered her head silently, her expression a little sad.
"Beautiful girl, your idea is too dangerous." Qiao Jiajin hid the knife behind his back, "I have rejected this idea for you. Think of something else."
Without saying a word, Yunyao came to the small window the size of a tennis ball, took out the "Tao" from her backpack, and threw it out one by one like coins.
"you……"
Qi Xia was stunned for a moment, but knew that there was no better way at this time. It would be better if the weight could be reduced.
"We're together."
Everyone took out the "Tao" in their pockets. Now is not the time to feel sorry for the "Tao". If it sinks here, this reincarnation will end.
Qiao Jiajin and Tiantian took out their "deposits" and threw them out.
Qi Xia also took out a few "Tao" stones and threw them out. To be on the safe side, he kept one in his pocket.
That was given to him by Officer Li. Qi Xia used this "Tao" to defeat the Man-Monkey. It was his lucky charm and he hoped it would bring good luck again in this disaster.
But after everyone threw away almost all the "Taos", they found that the location of the room had not changed.
This shows that the other party is also thinking of ways to become lighter.
"It seems that there is a smart person in that team." Qi Xia murmured to himself, "What else can be lost?"
Yun Yao bit her lip, slowly picked up her backpack, and reluctantly took out a lipstick from it.
Cosmetics are even rarer in "The End" than in "Tao", and she looks very distressed.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she threw away the lipstick, followed by foundation, concealer, eyeliner, lip gloss...
All kinds of cosmetics fell like a light rain, crackling down.
Tiantian, who is also a girl, actually felt a little distressed when she saw this scene.
At this time, the four finally felt that the room was slowly rising, and the fire under their feet was getting further and further away.
"Very good..." Qi Xia leaned against the wall nervously and glanced down from a distance, "Just keep it like this... The weight of one or two pounds is enough to determine the winner."
But less than a minute after they rose, the balance was broken again.
I don’t know what manipulations were done in the other party’s room, and the weight is also decreasing.
The metal pillars connecting the two rooms made a loud creaking sound.
Qi Xia clearly felt that his room was sinking.
Although the two rooms have never met, they are both trying their best to survive.
"The "Tao" is gone, where is the "knife"? Qiao Jiajin looked at the knife in his hand and said, "This knife weighs two or three kilograms. Should I just throw it away?" "
"No." Qi Xia said, "Qiao Jiajin, there is a very difficult task for you now."
"A difficult task?" Qiao Jia asked vigorously, "What is it?"
"I'm afraid only you can accomplish this task." Qi Xia pointed to the small stool beside him, "Chop it into pieces."
This small stool has been placed in the room from the beginning, and it must have had its purpose.
Qiao Jiajin understood, picked up the small stool and weighed it. It was made of solid wood and was indeed very heavy.
"In terms of strength, only you can split it into pieces in a short time, but you must be careful not to move too much, otherwise it will be difficult for us to maintain stability."
"I understand."
Qiao Jiajin nodded, then took a deep breath, picked up the long knife and struck it on the low stool, instantly creating a crack.
I saw that he did not continue to use the knife, but stretched out his fingers to hold the crack, and then broke it hard. The wood grain cracked and the low stool was divided into two halves.
He shook his hands and chopped at the remaining parts.
Due to the limited area of the dark window, Qiao Jiajin could only chop the stool into very small pieces before it could be disassembled and thrown out.
So he decisively adopted the same strategy as "chopping wood".
He picked up a leg of the stool and stood it on the ground, suddenly chopped it from the top, and then broke it with his hands to take off a thin wooden strip.
"You take it and throw it first!" Qiao Jiajin said.
The three people had a clear division of labor. Qiao Jiajin chopped the stool, Tiantian picked up the wooden strip and handed it to Qi Xia, who then handed it to Yun Yao, who threw it out.
This can ensure that the four people's movements are minimized as much as possible.
In just two or three minutes, the four legs of the stool had been disassembled and thrown out, and now only a wooden board was left.
"Strange..." Yun Yao kept looking across the dark window, "Why are we still parallel? What tactics are they using?"
But the next second, she found from a distance that wood fragments seemed to have been thrown out of the dark window opposite.
"Oh no, it seems that the other side is also chopping stools..." Yun Yao said, "We have to hurry up!"
Qi Xia knew that the other party's behavior was understandable, after all, the layout of the rooms of both sides should be the same.
That is to say, there was only a low stool and a long knife in the rooms of both sides.
In this case, no matter who it was, they would choose to chop the chair.
The sooner the chair was chopped, the farther they were from death.
Qiao Jiajin couldn't help but speed up his hands.
It must be said that he used his strength very cleverly. Although the movement was not large, every knife was accurately chopped along the grain of the wood, and the low stool soon broke into pieces and became a pile of fragments.
Tiantian kept holding the wooden sticks and handed them to the two. Qiao Jiajin felt that it was still a bit slow, so he took a lot of small pieces of wood and threw them out from the iron net on the floor.
Six minutes passed, and when the countdown on the wall was only four minutes left, there was no low stool in their room.
At this moment, the room of the four people slowly rose, which was obviously more than one level lighter than the other side.
"Hold steady..." Qi Xia asked everyone to gather around him and try to make the room lighter.
Yun Yao thought for a moment, snatched the long knife from Qiao Jiajin's hand, chopped the bag in his hand into pieces, and threw it out through the hole.
