It is agreed that the 18th line will be top-notch?

Squeak...clang!
The sound of the zoo slowly closing was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.

In fact, with the budget allocated by Kuiguang Group, it would be a piece of cake to make a beautiful and quiet gate, but in order to create the atmosphere of a night zoo, the zoo even deliberately adopted this more retro construction method.

They even added two speakers in an inconspicuous place to simulate the sound of rusty friction on a door bolt.

Full of high-tech, the brand new zoo brings a sense of security that is too strong on a psychological level and must be weakened!

"Scary..." Another passenger on the bus' eyelids jumped at the sound, "The designers of Kuiguang Group are really experienced in scaring people."

As a person who has experienced it, he adheres to the most important principle - never underestimate the terrorist projects of the Kuiguang Group.

Many people would have an idea that since it’s all fake and safe, what is there to be afraid of?

But as someone who has experienced survival in a secret room and a haunted house, Hu Xiao has failed twice in a row, so it is impossible for him to be so naive.

Before getting on the bus, he even found several like-minded professional friends, studied the zoo rules and maps word by word, and the final plan was as thick as a textbook.

They listed all the possible situations they might encounter and designed at least two response plans for each possible crisis.

They even deduced the possible dangers that might be encountered after failing to handle the crisis and made contingency plans.

But even so, several "enthusiasts" are still unsure.

It was really the escape room and haunted house that caused them too much mental trauma.

The teammate who was killed turned into a "ghost" and attacked me while I was sleeping; I called the staff, but they didn't have good intentions and deliberately came to cheat me...

They are really good at hitting tourists hard when they subconsciously feel safe.

But tourists are human beings after all. It is impossible for them to be on edge all the time. It is inevitable that they will feel more secure in certain environments and inevitably relax mentally.

This time, Hu Xiao judged with his keenest intuition that the lounge in the rear cabin of the tour bus, which seemed to give people an infinite sense of security, was the biggest trap of the entire trip.

Compared to escape rooms and haunted houses, although the atmosphere of the zoo is more disturbing, the overall difficulty is obviously reduced.

Because at least as far as the passengers are concerned, the only thing that can be tampered with is everything on the bus.

In this car, the place that is most likely to give people a sense of security is the compartment at the back!
You must be absolutely vigilant!

In order to minimize the mistakes, the "professional team" gave Hu Xiao a suggestion: don't eat unless you are starving, only drink the water you bring with you, and if you really can't hold it any longer, you must remind your teammates to watch out for you before going to the toilet.

The lounge is the biggest trap...

Hu Xiao thought so and turned to look at his teammates.

A tour bus can carry 8 passengers...but half of them are obviously here to experience new things. They seem to be unaware of the underworld design of the Kuiguang Group, or they are unable to realize it.

There was another person whom Hu Xiao suspected might be a staff member pretending to be a spy - although he had no evidence and had not found any clues, he still decided to suspect this.

We must speculate that the Kuiguang Group is the most vicious.

Even if you are competing with the air, you must follow this "hypothetical principle", for example, assuming that the Kuiguang Group will do this.

The remaining two, a man and a woman, were holding live broadcast equipment and looked like anchors...

Although they came together, it was obvious from their actions that they always kept a relatively polite distance and were probably not a couple.

As long as they are not a couple...

It’s not that Hu Xiao has any prejudice against couples, but from a psychological point of view, men always want to show themselves too much in front of women, especially in crowded places.

And in such a terrifying atmosphere, women are very likely to be more willing to trust their boyfriends.

Even "professional horror project enthusiasts" dare not underestimate this project. If a few amateurs come to get involved, it would be better for them to do nothing.

After thinking about it, Hu Xiao decided to find the two people who were broadcasting live first to see if they could establish a common front.

He would be unable to handle the car alone.

Plus there might be a ghost inside...

Thinking of this, Hu Xiao shuddered a little, and quickly walked forward and carefully greeted Ying Lan.

"Uh, this anchor?" Hu Xiao swallowed his saliva, "I have something I want to talk to you about, is that ok?"

Ying Lan glanced at the gloomy road ahead, looked at the driver who was safely protected and had almost no contact with the passengers, turned around and asked, "Sure, what's the matter?"

Hu Xiao chose his words carefully: "Just, do you have a feeling that this night zoo is not as simple as we imagined?"

He did not tell everyone what to do right away, but instead planned to give some guidance first.

Who would believe it if I said that directly?
The general impression given by zoos is that they are safe and warm parent-child paradise, but it is not so easy to break the stereotype.

However, Ying Lan's reaction was far beyond Hu Xiao's expectations. She widened her eyes, as excited as someone who had found clean water in the desert. There was a slight tremor in her low voice: "Good fellow, you think so too?!"

Hu Xiao was stunned: "You too?"

"Oh shit! I met my teammates!" Ying Lan was so excited that she couldn't be more excited. "Not only did I know about this, I also did my homework and memorized the map!"

Have you done your homework yet?
Memorized the map and the rules?!

This, this, this, he is so lucky this time that he met two teammates he can trust?
Originally he was ready to fight alone!

"Me too!" Hu Xiao also became excited, and then looked at Ying Lan's face, "Hey, wait... are you the contestant of "Singer"? "

"Yes, it's me." Ying Lan nodded, "But I think it's unlikely that singing can drive away animals, so my skill shouldn't be very useful."

"It's okay, it's okay. This zoo won't be that difficult. As long as we stay alert, we should be able to pass it smoothly."

"Besides, you have viewers in your live broadcast room. If you operate the camera well, maybe the viewers can see some clues...there is strength in numbers."

"Sure... Let's see if we can convince the other tourists on the bus. The more teammates we can bring along, the greater the chances of getting through safely. I don't want to be taken to a pile of wild animals by the driver by accident."

"Oh, let me remind you, I have played "Escape Room Survival" and the haunted house in the park next door before. What they are best at is planting traitors. You'd better assume that there is a traitor among the ten of us, and then make a decision based on this guess."

"That means we have to work in pairs..."

"Hurry up, hurry up, make arrangements!"

……

While the members of Ying Lan's car were united, the atmosphere on another bus that departed a little later was completely different.

If the atmosphere on the first bus, led by Ying Lan and Hu Xiao, was like facing a formidable enemy, then the atmosphere on the second bus could be described as a "picnic." Everyone got on the bus laughing and talking, gathering in groups of three or four to chat, and some even went to the back cabin to get a cold drink as soon as they got on the bus.

As for maps and zoo rules... they didn't take them seriously at all.

Even as the tour bus slowly started to move, they were still looking outside curiously, fiddling with the night vision equipment on the bus.

With laughter and joy all the way, they passed the Lion Park safely under the guidance of the driver.

Zila...

Behind me, the sound of the iron door closing sounded as expected, but the "clang" sound of the collision was not heard for a long time.

"Huh?" A man was stunned for a moment, "Is the door not closed?"

He clearly remembered how loud the noise was when the first door closed.

"It's an illusion, don't worry about it. This is a newly opened zoo, how could the equipment have problems?" His friend beside him said indifferently, "You didn't see it just now, but I saw several lions with the night vision goggles."

"I saw it too. These lions surrounded our car. We couldn't see them at all without night vision goggles, haha."

"It's a bit exciting. If they could get a little closer..."

Click, puff!
Just as several people on the car were excitedly chatting about their new experiences, the entire Ferris wheel suddenly paused for a moment, as if it had hit something that wasn't particularly heavy.

Then there was a sound of flesh being crushed from the front of the car.

Then, they felt as if something was caught in the tire... The entire tour bus suddenly experienced an indescribable sense of sluggishness.

It's like a person is walking and suddenly steps on chewing gum, which sticks to his foot and cannot be removed.

The feeling was so obvious that the people on the bus were not stupid and they immediately realized that the tour bus might have hit some animal.

Soon, a man walked forward, knocked on the small window separating the passenger and driver, and asked, "Did we just hit something?"

The driver was completely in the shadows, and the lights inside the car did not illuminate his face. His voice was full of businesslike feeling: "Dear passengers, please rest assured that the sightseeing bus is very safe. We are about to arrive at the tiger park. There was a small accident just now, and we will choose an alternative route."

“There are maintenance stops on alternate routes.”

"But please rest assured, passengers, you can still have a complete movie-watching experience on the alternate route, so there is no need to worry."

As they spoke, all the passengers in the car saw two roads ahead, one on the left and one on the right, under the dim light.

The road on the right was crooked and bottomless, with a broken road surface. There was a shabby sign hanging next to it, and the words on it were so blurred that they could not be seen clearly.

In short, at first glance, it doesn't seem like a good place to go.

Several passengers opened their mouths to say something, but when they thought about it and realized there was an animal carcass under the wheels, they shut up.

Anyway, the zoo staff have said it, so how can they object?

So, after a pause of a few seconds, the staff turned the steering wheel all the way to the right and drove away on the road to the right, never to return.

Click, click, click...

While driving on this eerie path, the animal carcasses stuck to the wheels seemed to be constantly picked up and slapped to the ground, making an extremely creepy sound.

Even the tourists in the bus seemed to smell a little bit of blood.

"Speaking of which..." At this point, a strange sense of fear gradually spread among the passengers. "I took a quick look at the Zoo Rules before, and it seemed to say that when you encounter a tiger park, don't drive to the right?"

There was silence in the carriage for a moment.

The playful atmosphere just now has disappeared.

One of them even forgot to drink the happy water in his hand. He swallowed and said weakly, "Well, we have an unexpected situation, right? It's normal to have unexpected ways to deal with unexpected situations, right?"

"makes sense……"

"Hey, don't think too much when you're out playing. Use the night vision goggles to see if there are a lot of tigers around us."

"I like tigers very much. They are cute. Haha!"

A few joking laughs eased the atmosphere in the car a little, and several people took out night vision goggles and began to look around.

"Wow, there's a tiger so close to us, and it looks so alert when looking at us."

"I saw one over here too...it's moving this way!"

"Maybe they smelled blood? It seems our car ran over an animal."

After putting their doubts behind them, the people in the car began to enjoy the park again.

Some people went to the toilet, some went to the rear cabin to eat, and the relaxed atmosphere once again enveloped everyone.

It is indeed a completely different experience to get on the car, go deep into the wildlife park, and watch the wild animals through night vision goggles... The ticket is well worth it!
Some people even posed in front of the camera in the car in a cool way, which made people around them laugh.

At this moment, a man suddenly said to the passenger sitting at the rear, holding another night vision device: "Brother over there, why don't you say anything?"

The man frowned and turned around, his tone puzzled. "Why do I see different things in the night vision goggles than you do? It doesn't look like it's broken, because I can see tigers."

If the night vision goggles are broken, they should not be able to produce images.

"See a tiger? Where?"

The man's tone was even more uncertain: "From my side, the tiger is within... ten meters of us! But I can only see it with night vision goggles, not with my naked eyes. What's going on?"

"Ah? There's such a thing? Let me take a look?"

Someone immediately expressed disbelief and wanted to go up and take a look.

At this moment, the entire tour bus suddenly let out a loud scream.

Then all the tourists heard the sound of the engine stalling.

The park suddenly became very quiet.

"Huh, huh..."

Not far away, the breathing sound of the beast suddenly became extremely obvious. (End of this chapter)
