Chapter 481: Not Afraid of Bad Guys Racking Their Brains, Just Afraid of Idiots Having a Sudden Inspiration

~9 min read 1,638 words

The six of them had rested almost enough. The Twin-Tailed Loli's tattooed teammate returned to the first floor Secret Room and picked up the Coin on the ground.

Chen Ran and Jiang Zhe were startled. If the Coin had absorbed their luck, this was indeed a pretty good item.

However, this kind of thing was highly likely created by a skill. If the other party retracted the skill, the Coin might also disappear.

The two of them didn't pay too much attention.

The tattooed teammate pocketed the Coin, and the six of them walked up the stairs to the second floor. At the halfway point on the first floor, they saw an 【A-frame Ladder】 leaning diagonally against the wall.

It was about two meters long, and after observation, they found that the 【A-frame Ladder】 was retractable, made of alloy material, and not heavy.

Chen Ran looked at the Twin-Tailed Loli, who understood and had the tallest teammate among her three companions carry the 【A-frame Ladder】.

They soon arrived at the door of the second floor.

The stairs leading to the third floor were welded shut with an iron door. Seeing this, they could only enter the second floor.

It was a bit cold inside the Secret Room.

Underfoot was a layer of ice, and beneath the ice layer was a pool of water; they couldn't see exactly how deep it was.

In front of them were two water tanks against the wall.

The water tanks were filled with water. A pool beneath the ice layer was understandable, but the water in the tanks hadn't frozen, which was a bit strange.

Two possibilities.

One: The Whisperer's Escape Room had just been created not long ago, and the water in the tanks didn't have time to freeze.

Two: The cooling device of this Secret Room was broken.

On the right side of the water tanks, there was a skeleton, about the height of a normal person.

They couldn't see any clues.

On the right side of the Secret Room, there was a car parked. The car was very small, looking like the kind of electric toy car driven by children, but the surface of the car was all metal. The most striking thing was that all four tires were steel blade gears about five centimeters thick.

In a position against the wall, there was also a remote control placed upright, which should be used to control this kind of small electric car.

On the left side of the Secret Room, there was also a car, but this car was relatively large. It was an Ice Resurfacer commonly seen in indoor ice rinks, which could clear ice shavings on the ice surface and repair scratches on the ice.

On the driver's seat of the Ice Resurfacer, there was a small iron trash can.

The ice car had a thick cord, which was connected to a power strip, and the power strip was connected to a power outlet on the wall. It should be charging.

There was also a table in the middle of the Secret Room.

These were the only things inside the Secret Room, and the six of them didn't dare to act rashly.

First of all, besides the door they came in from, they didn't find any other doors in this Secret Room.

And when they came in, the stairs to the third floor were welded shut by an iron door, and there fundamentally wasn't any form of Key.

In other words.

Since the door they came in wasn't the exit of the Secret Room, there must be an exit in this Secret Room.

It was just that they hadn't found it yet.

Chen Ran frowned, turning his head to look at the 【A-frame Ladder】 carried by the tall youth.

He then looked at the ceiling. The ceiling of this Secret Room was very high, about seven meters, equivalent to the height of a normal two-story building.

'The exit should be on the ceiling.'

He looked at the small car again.

'All four tires are steel blade gears. If the small car starts moving...'

'It will cut the ice layer, and we will very likely fall into the pool below.'

'More importantly, if the ice layer is all cut open, then the 【A-frame Ladder】 will lose its fulcrum, and we will never be able to get out.'

Suddenly, Chen Ran thought of something, abruptly looking at the tattooed youth, and said coldly: "Quickly throw the Coin in your pocket to a safe position!"

The tattooed youth rolled his eyes at him, then looked at the Twin-Tailed Loli. Seeing the latter nod gently, he only then took out the Coin...

But, in the next moment, the tattooed youth's hand holding the Coin felt as if it were electrocuted, and the Coin fell from his hand...

Rolling on the ice layer.

Rolling towards the right side of the Secret Room, specifically towards the upright remote control leaning against the wall.

'Fuck your mom!'

'You gotta be kidding me!'

Seeing this scene, Jiang Zhe and Chen Ran's expressions were as uncomfortable as constipation.

Without even thinking, the six people wanted to chase after it to intercept it before the Coin touched the remote control. But the ice surface was very slippery. The six people almost fell, and they were staggering even when walking, let alone running. They could only watch helplessly...

That Coin rolling towards the remote control.

But fortunately, when the Coin was still about two meters away from the remote control, it finally tipped over.

Chen Ran had just breathed a sigh of relief.

When he heard...

Thump!

Someone fell. The tall youth carrying the ladder fell on the ice surface, and the ladder in his hand slipped off, sliding forward with the momentum.

Sliding towards the right side of the Secret Room.

The speed became faster and faster, and immediately after, an absurd scene occurred.

The ladder hit the Coin, and the Coin was sent shooting out, hitting the button of the remote control.

The six of them: "..."

At this moment, they felt the sky was falling.

The small car started!

They even heard the humming sound of the motor starting. One could imagine just how powerful the horsepower of this small electric car was.

In the next moment, the small car cut the ice layer at an extremely fast speed and crashed towards everyone.

Chen Ran took off his backpack and threw it skimming the ground towards the undercarriage of the small car.

"Jiang Zhe, go get the ladder!"

Having said that, Chen Ran turned around and ran towards the Ice Resurfacer, but the ground was too slippery. He simply executed a sliding tackle, using the momentum to slide his body on the ice surface, and crashed into the front of the Ice Resurfacer.

The iron trash can on the driver's seat was about to fall. Chen Ran grabbed the front of the car, quickly got up, and dangerously caught the trash can, preventing it from falling onto the buttons in the driver's seat, gently putting the trash can down.

He carefully came to the outlet, unplugging the charging cord and the power strip connected to the power outlet.

If the Ice Resurfacer started just now, it would definitely snap the charging cord. When the broken wires fell on the ground, and the ice surface was cut open by the small car, the people and the live wires would all be soaked in the pool, and they would all be electrocuted to death.

At the same time.

The small car was stuck by Chen Ran's backpack and couldn't continue moving forward, slipping in place.

And Jiang Zhe also slid all the way over and got the 【A-frame Ladder】, but his speed was too fast, and his body made close contact with the wall.

The two had just breathed a sigh of relief.

When they found that the remaining four people were staring dumbfounded at the small car slipping in place.

The two front gears of the small car moved up bit by bit on the backpack, and were about to climb over the backpack and break free from the slipping state.

'Holy shit, front and rear drive?!'

Jiang Zhe immediately thought of the remote control, and hurriedly looked around for the nearby remote control.

But, in the next moment.

Jiang Zhe's expression was strange, and Chen Ran even gave him the middle finger...

It turned out that his speed was too fast just now.

He and the ladder crashed into the wall together, and the bottom of the ladder poked right into the remote control, smashing it to pieces.

Chen Ran only felt his heart tire. Pointing at the small car that had already climbed over the backpack and was rapidly cutting the ice layer: "I say, can you four stop watching and immediately find a way to stop it?"

Hearing this, the tall youth climbed up from the ground, also imitating Chen Ran with a sliding tackle, and delivered a flying kick to the right side of the small car. The small car was kicked flying.

Chen Ran: "..."

'Your uncle!'

Only to see the small car fall to the ground, in a rolled-over state, but the front and rear gears on the same side pressing against the ice surface allowed the small car to still drive on the ground in a...

Rolled-over state.

If earlier, the driving route of the small car with four wheels on the ground could be predicted, then the route of the small car driving in this state was random and unpredictable, like a runaway wild horse speeding wildly on the ice surface.

And the two gears of the small car that didn't touch the ground were like two sharp chainsaws. If anyone touched them, their legs would be sawed off.
