Regardless of whether Chen Yang's words were true, at least after witnessing this miraculous scene, no one could help but give his absurd words a serious thought.
"Indeed, it's true..."
After the group was stunned into silence for a moment, the depressed man also sent a text message. In less than two seconds, a dagger appeared in his hand.
Decades of scientific knowledge being overturned in one day left everyone in a state of mental stagnation, as if they had seen a pig walking and talking on a busy street, which was utterly unbelievable.
"Suppose... what you said is true, then why do you know these things?"
After a moment of silence, the man in the suit opened his mouth to ask.
"Finally starting to believe what I said, huh?"
Chen Yang said calmly, "I can say these things because I'm not the first time here."
"Not the first time here?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"A week ago, I and six other people also came here. Although the scene was different, the situation was almost the same. So, I just know a bit more than you."
Chen Yang's words left everyone looking at each other, unsure of what to say.
"Then may I ask, where is this nightmare world? Why did we come here? Who brought us here?"
The depressed man had a clear mind. Although his clothes were not very clean, his eyes were clear and bright.
"You ask me these questions, but I can only answer that I don't know."
Chen Yang spread his hands, "I also want to know the answers to these questions about this so-called nightmare world and who brought us here."
"Then what did you mean by saying this nightmare world is not real?"
"Comrade! A former comrade told me."
Chen Yang's eyes were cold, "Just like the role I'm playing now, someone told me the same thing before."
"Where is your comrade now?"
The high school student asked suspiciously.
"Ha ha..."
Chen Yang let out a bone-chilling laugh, "Where they went? The answer to that question is probably known only to them..."
"What do you mean by that?"
The man in the tank top was very displeased with Chen Yang's calm expression. Coming to such a strange place and encountering such a miraculous and scientifically inexplicable situation, everyone was anxious and uneasy, except for Chen Yang, who remained overly calm, which made the man in the tank top very unhappy.
"What I mean, you'll understand soon."
Chen Yang glanced at him and then turned his gaze to the group, "In any case, regardless of what your previous identities were, once you come here, you must follow the instructions in the text message and complete a series of tasks. Otherwise, the consequences will be something you definitely don't want to bear."
"Alright, it's already been ten minutes. If you haven't chosen the beginner's package, make your choice quickly."
Chen Yang looked at his watch, "By the way, let me give you a piece of advice. The beginner's package is very important. It might save your life in a critical moment, so everyone should choose carefully and pick something that will be most useful to you. Don't regret it later."
His words carried a lot of information, and everyone was unsure of how to react. After all, they were all ordinary people who had suddenly encountered such a bizarre and strange situation, which was not something they could easily accept in a short time.
"Everyone, wait a moment, don't choose lightly."
As the group hesitated, the man in the suit cautiously said, "Although this matter is very strange and hard to accept, since these things can appear out of nowhere and cannot be explained by science, it means that everything here requires us to be cautious."
He paused and continued, "If we assume that everything our friend said is true, then the choice of this gift is very important. It might be a key clue later, so we can't choose randomly."
"What do you mean by that?"
The depressed man asked.
"Exactly, each of us can only choose one thing, but there are five items. If everyone chooses individually, there will definitely be duplicates."
The man in the suit scanned the group, "I think in this place where everything is unclear, we don't know what situation we are in, so someone will definitely choose a weapon like a dagger first."
As he said this, the others' expressions changed slightly, clearly hit by his words.
The reason the depressed man chose the dagger was that he had such a thought in his mind. The high school student and the man in the tank top, who initially didn't believe, chose an item randomly. If they had believed like now, they would have definitely chosen the dagger, the only weapon.
"Although weapons are important, items that help us survive are also important. If everyone chooses weapons, why would there be water and bread in the gifts?"
The man in the suit said, "We can't ignore any clue."
"What you say makes sense, but the three of us have already chosen items, leaving only the three of you... What do you suggest?"
The man in the tank top thought for a moment and agreed with the man in the suit.
However, the man in the suit did not answer immediately but turned his gaze to Chen Yang, who had been silent, "Friend, you said you've been here before. Do you have any good suggestions? Let's all consider them together."
"I've already given my advice. I suggest you make your decision quickly. If you delay too long, I can't guarantee what bad things might happen."
Chen Yang showed no respect, walked away with a cold face toward the bus. He was very clear about the role he was playing, a cold and detached guide. Once everything was on track, he could leave.
"That guy... damn, I really want to beat him up."
The man in the tank top spat in the direction Chen Yang was walking.
"That person seems to have something he hasn't told us."
The depressed man said in a low voice.
The man in the suit didn't say much more,收回视线后,道:“既然已经有水和手电筒、匕首都选择了,那么你们两个就一起选择面包吧。”
他指的是那两个女人。
“大叔,那你选择……晕,你不会是想要选择这把钥匙吧?这东西有什么用?”
高中生惊讶道。
“我反而觉得这把钥匙是最有用的。”
西服男微笑着回应。
“我也觉得这把钥匙说不定是最有用的。”
颓废男摸了摸后脑勺的头发,指着那边的大巴车道:“这件事很明显吧,那边停着一辆车,车子发动需要的可不仅是汽油,还要有一件东西才行。”
“你是说车钥匙?”
高中生反应过来。
“对,看来这果然是车钥匙。”
在几人说话之间,西服男已经发出了短信,片刻之后手里握着一把车钥匙。
“天,大叔你真是神了,怎么知道这是车钥匙的啊?”
高中生庆幸不已:“幸好你选择了钥匙,不然这荒郊野岭的难道还要我们走出去?”
“走吧,东西已经选择了,我们先去车那边看看。”
多年的商场磨练,早就使得西服男有了一种遇到困难冷静下来的品性。虽然这件事确实显得诡异超出了常识,但也不妨碍西服男习惯性地去寻找线索与破局的出路。
四个男人走在前面,那个在超市工作的女人则扶起少女,一边低声安慰,一边扶着她往车子那边走去。
等来到大巴车前时,高中生拿着手电筒照射过去,才发现刚才那个让他们非常不爽的男人,已经好整以暇坐在了车里。
看见他们一一上了车,陈阳漫不经心地问道:“你们应该有人选择了钥匙吧?选择了钥匙的人赶紧开车,我们要尽快离开这里。”
“你……你知道是车钥匙?”
听到他的话,高中生惊讶不已。
但其余人没有惊讶的表情,因为钥匙与那辆大巴车很容易联系在一起,也就高中生涉世未深,脑袋一时没有转过来导致的。
“呵,你小子为什么不开车?坐在这里很享受是吧?”
背心男越看陈阳越是不顺眼。
就在这时,一阵短信的铃声骤然响起。
