Chapter 558: Why Enter the Maze
…Why enter the maze?
Su Man startled montarily, gently holding her left hand without uttering a word.
Lu Yuwen’s gaze fell on her left hand, asking, “How did you hurt your hand?”
“A ga…” Su Man frowned lightly, “I and so friends encountered a challenging ga. She gave her puzzle piece; otherwise, I would have not only lost a hand, but also lost my life.”
“Puzzle piece?” Lu Yuwen was taken aback, subconsciously looking at the map in his hand.
Seeing his reaction, Su Man was taken aback for a mont too and hurried to explain, “Not that kind of puzzle, it’s that…huh? You don’t know about the maze puzzles?”
Lu Yuwen shook his head: “What is a maze puzzle?”
Su Man’s eyes widened, “You don’t know about the maze puzzles?! As long as players pass through the maze, they can enhance their physical constitutions and also receive puzzle pieces! Each maze can produce up to 9 puzzle pieces. Once all 9 puzzle pieces are obtained by the players, the maze would disappear! Don’t you know???”
Lu Yuwen really didn’t know, he shook his head again, “All I know is not to get close to the white fog, where there is a maze that people can’t get out of. How did you learn about this?”
Su Man blurted out: “We followed a rescue team, and almost everyone knew about this news.”
“No wonder.” Lu Yuwen chuckled lightly, “We didn’t wait for the rescue team. Later, the city lost power and internet connection, and we lost contact with the outside world. We learned about the maze from the players we encountered in the ga.”
Su Man was left speechless upon hearing this.
Several of her family elders were military officials, and Li Li’s family worked for the national research institute, so when the incident happened, they were categorized as key protection targets and were arranged to be evacuated in the first batch.
Assuming that she was safely evacuated, she naturally presud the sa for others too.
Assuming that she had received the news about the maze, she naturally presud that everyone else, too, knew about it.
But the truth is, a multitude of people didn’t wait for the rescue and had to seek refuge on their own, gathering allies and partners on the way, and relying on the most primitive thods to exchange and disseminate information.
Many are left dead or injured in the process; those who could hang on until now, like Lu Yuwen, are definitely few.
Lu Yuwen didn’t mind much about this particular point, asking Su Man instead: “When you ntioned body enhancent earlier, what did you an?”
Su Man carefully responded, “Um… it’s just a manner of speaking. So say it’s a promotion, so call it optimization, and so ntion it as a kind of evolution. In general, various aspects of one’s body beco stronger, speed, power, endurance, and self-healing ability all seem to significantly improve, depending on each individual’s physical characteristics.”
Lu Yuwen understood, “So… you’ve entered the maze before?”
“Yes.” Su Man nodded, “I’ve been in the maze twice. This is my third ti.”
Having said that, she couldn’t help but look gloomy, and softly said: “Only with everyone’s joint efforts could we get through the maze. Now that I’m the only one left, I can’t do anything…”
Su Man looked up at Lu Yuwen and smiled, “I really envy you guys, so smart, the maze ga can’t stump you.”
“Actually, it’s not just about being smart…” Lu Yuwen stared at her, “If you’re left on your own, you’ll quickly beco disheartened, demoralized, devastated. But if you have friends, supporting each other, encouraging each other, you can persistently overco difficulties, figure out ways to solve problems.
Therefore, getting through the maze is not only credited to their strength, but your strength is also essential.”
Su Man stared at him blankly.
After a mont, she grinned sheepishly, “Thank you… this is the first ti I’ve been… complinted like this…”
