SHOCK Chapter 18

The staircase he came from was also under its control.

If he wanted to get out of here, he had to settle things with the tiger.

The underground was dark and damp, and in the silence, the tiger’s roar hurt his ears.

Zhou Wu stood with his back against the wall, two tiger eyes flashing with ghostly green fluorescence swaying in front of him, disturbing his thoughts.

Since he couldn’t think quietly, why not use force to determine who should be food?

Zhou Wu gathered his strength, aimed at the two balls of green light in front of him, and suddenly punched out.

With a “bang,” he hit the tiger’s forehead squarely. Only then did a string of numbers appear on the tiger’s forehead.

2851.

Zhou Wu’s punch made the tiger howl and stumble back several steps, its butt dragging on the ground for two feet before stopping its momentum.

The numbers on its forehead also decreased rapidly, 2718.

Zhou Wu clicked his tongue. If he punched a fellow martial artist with that punch, they would be seriously injured even if they didn’t die.

But the tiger only lost a hundred minutes?

Zhou Wu certainly couldn’t wait here for two days.

Facing food, the hungry tiger had forgotten the value of life, still straightening the iron chain, desperately trying to pounce on Zhou Wu.

He raised his fist and punched the hungry tiger’s head again.

After three punches, the hungry tiger finally realized that this method wouldn’t work, and stopped roaring, honestly retreating back.

Zhou Wu didn’t wait any longer, stepped back, chased after the tiger, and began to punch it frantically.

The hungry tiger also got the chance to bite at close range, and the two desperate animals wrestled and tore at each other in the darkness.

He didn’t know how long passed before the dark chamber fell silent.

Zhou Wu gasped for breath, looking at the numbers on his forehead, which were rapidly increasing from 165.

And the ghostly green number 0 on the hungry tiger’s forehead was gradually dissipating into nothing.

The number stopped at 313, and at the same time, Zhou Wu’s muscles and bones began to strengthen, and a cool baleful aura rushed into his body, coiling and circulating in his meridians.

He stretched his arms and legs, twisted his neck, and a series of cracking sounds echoed in the dark chamber.

The several cuts and bleeding wounds had also healed quickly.

At this time, his body had a sense of swelling, as if he was full of power. If another tiger came, he could tear it apart with his bare hands.

Zhou Wu licked his lips, hehe, he cheated again.

He felt his clothes, which had become tattered beggar’s clothes, torn into strips by the tiger.

Fumbling along the wall, he quickly found a hole and squeezed out.

As soon as he came out of the hole, an oil lamp was hanging on the opposite wall, and there was a Wood Talisman with an arrow on each side of the lamp.

Some text was written below the Wood Talisman, explaining the situation on both sides.

In front of him were two passages, and at the end of each passage, there was an oil lamp emitting a yellow halo.

Alas, knowledge is power, intellectually I’m better than everyone here, but in reality?

Facing life’s choices, sighing is useless.

Zhou Wu randomly chose a direction and strode forward.

Zhou Wu stared blankly at the crooked words, almost burning out his brain, but couldn’t figure out what was written.

Just as he was about to give up, the stone door suddenly opened, and a person walked out from the inside.

“Zhou Wu!”

The two shouted at the same time.

Then they looked at each other.

The two were in similar situations, ragged clothes, disheveled hair, it seemed that they had also gone through a thrilling experience.

Revealing the half-covered white cotton chest wrap inside.

There were faint bloodstains, dotted on her snow-white chest and abdomen.

Seeing Zhou Wu staring straight at her, she covered her tattered clothes and rolled her eyes.

Zhou Wu pointed to his clothes: “We’re about the same, it seems that the road I chose was correct.”

“Correct my ass, didn’t you see what was written on the sign?”

“I saw it.”

“Then you still say that?”

“But I didn’t understand it.”

“You…”

“This is the tool room, you can choose one to use, good luck.”

After speaking, she turned and walked towards the other end of the passage.

Zhou Wu was overjoyed, there were weapons to use, the next assessment might be easier.

He quickly pushed open the stone door and walked in.

There was a lamp lit inside, so he could see clearly. A row of stone platforms was placed along the wall, with more than a dozen things on them.

Zhou Wu looked at them one by one, there was a fire starter for making fire, an iron pickaxe for digging, an oilcloth umbrella, a yellowed cotton cloth, a water bottle, a black pottery bowl, a bundle of thick grass rope, a broken bucket, and a paddle for rowing, but not a single weapon for fighting.

Zhou Wu pondered, if he chose the iron pickaxe, could he dig a hole out if there was no exit?

Thinking about the steps he walked down, he didn’t need to calculate to know that this place was very far from the ground.

Relying on the iron pickaxe to dig it out was a fool’s dream.

But at least the broken iron pickaxe could barely be used as a weapon.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Wu chose the iron pickaxe and walked out of the stone door with it in his hand.

He understood that he had to do what the rules said, otherwise he would die ugly.

The further down the stairs he went, the lighter he felt the water vapor. About an hour later, Zhou Wu saw a ray of light.

The exit was here, he quickened his pace and quickly climbed the last step.

What he saw was a platform. First, he saw Duan Youmian standing on the side, staring blankly ahead.

Following her gaze, Zhou Wu found that there was a wide water area not far away.

There was no roof above, about twenty meters high, and the four walls were all made of huge stones.

Zhou Wu couldn’t help but sigh, damn, how was such a vast underground project built?
