I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 909: The Test to the Lower Level
"This is it."

Lao Ping took Li Luo to a circular building, took shoe covers from the door and put them on himself.

Seeing this, Li Luo also wanted to take it, but was stopped by Lao Ping.

"you do not need."

"I do not need?"

"Correct."

After Lao Ping put on shoe covers, he took out gloves, protective clothing, and a gas mask from the cabinet at the door and wrapped himself tightly.

Li Luo was staring at the side in amazement. She looked at Lao Ping, then at the building, but unfortunately the door was locked and she couldn't see anything.

"No one has been here for a long time, and I'm still a little unfamiliar with the place." Lao Ping slowly "wrapped" himself up, checked for gaps, and then looked at the door again.

This was a door with a combination lock. Lao Ping quickly entered a few numbers on it, and with a click, the door opened.

After he opened the door, he found another closed door inside.

There was a huge knob on the sealed door. Lao Ping walked forward and turned the knob to one side with great effort. Perhaps because it had not been used for a long time, the knob was a little stuck at first, but it became smooth later on.

"Bang!" As the knob turned to the bottom, a heavy collision sound was heard.

The collision sound echoed throughout the building and then came back to the door. Lao Ping slowly opened the door and a cold breath rushed out from inside. At the same time, the smell of disinfectant hit him in the face.

The smell made Li Luo frown and he quickly took a few steps back, but Lao Ping didn't seem to feel anything because of his protective body.

Even though the door was open, the smell did not dissipate, but continued to spread outwards, as if a gust of wind was always blowing outwards.

"It's a positive pressure environment in there, so the smell will float out." Lao Ping looked at Li Luo's reaction and said lightly.

Li Luo nodded. After smelling it for a while, she gradually got used to it and walked back to the gate.

"Just go in like this?"

"Well, let's go." Lao Ping waved his hand and walked in.

Li Luo did not follow immediately, but turned to look at the cube and asked, "Can you get in?"

Mo Ling quickly controlled the cube to fly towards the gate. Because it was a closed door, it was larger than the doors of normal buildings, and the cube also floated in, rubbing against the sealing ring.

After seeing Fangkuai enter the room, Li Luo slowly followed in.

As soon as he entered the room, the smell of disinfectant rushed to his mind again. Not only that, Li Luo also smelled a faint strange odor in it, as if the strong smell of disinfectant was meant to cover up this strange smell.

But she couldn't smell what it was yet, she just felt it was a bit uncomfortable.

The huge circular room is about the size of a badminton court. In the center is a round table with a pile of bottles and jars filled with colorful liquids. It is impossible to tell what they are from the outside.

The room was made of some kind of hard material, without any cracks or even vents. It was unknown how the positive pressure environment inside was formed. The dome above was very low, and combined with the completely enclosed structure, it gave people an extremely depressing feeling.

After entering the room, Lao Ping walked straight to the table and turned around to signal Li Luo to follow him.

Li Luo looked around the room. Apart from the table, there was nothing inside. The floor was also cleaned up. He had no idea where the smell came from.

"Is it the smell of the liquid on the table?" Li Luo followed Lao Ping curiously.

Sure enough, the further they walked, the stronger the strange smell became, but Li Luo still couldn't tell what it was exactly, nor could he describe the smell. He just felt more and more disgusted.

Soon, Li Luo and Lao Ping stood in front of the table. "What should I do?" Li Luo asked puzzledly, looking at the colorful bottles and jars.

Lao Ping did not demonstrate, but just pointed to the empty cup on the table and began to explain:

"Take this cup and pick out some of these liquids. Mix them in any proportion until the liquid level reaches the designated position. There is no limit to the quantity or type you pick. You can pick a single type or shake it. It's up to you. The only requirement is that it reaches the designated position. It's okay to exceed a little bit, but don't let it overflow."

"You also have to be careful when you're doing it, don't spill it, and after you've mixed it, let it sit for a while. The time is up to you, it can be ten seconds or half an hour, but not too long."

"Once you have finished letting it sit, take this cup of prepared liquid."

"Drink it..."

Lao Ping made a gesture as if he was drinking it all in one gulp.

"Remember to finish it. Don't leave any left. Drink it quickly. This cup is not big. It's best to finish it in one go."

"One more thing, when you drink, stay closer to the table, not too far away, and put the cup back after you finish drinking..."

"That's all I have to say."

After Lao Ping finished his explanation, he pointed to the table beside him and signaled Li Luo that he could start preparing.

But Li Luo didn't start right away. She looked at the bottles and jars on the table and asked curiously, "What are these?"

Lao Ping, wearing protective clothing, turned around awkwardly and began to introduce the liquids of different colors.

First he pointed to the orange one and said, “This is orange flavor.”

Then he pointed to the purple one and said, "This is grape flavor."

Pointing to the blue one: "This is blueberry flavor."

"It also tastes like strawberry." He placed his finger on the red liquid.

"Green apple flavor." Green liquid.

"Cola flavor." Black liquid.

"Milk flavor, banana flavor, glue flavor, ant flavor, cockroach flavor, mouse flavor, slippers flavor, strong aroma, sauce aroma, light aroma..."

Lao Ping introduced those liquids like he knew them all, describing their flavors clearly, and even complained at the end.

"Originally, I, a gatekeeper, shouldn't have been the one to introduce this. This should have been an important job. But last time, they were short-handed, so they asked me to take over. After that, I was the one doing all the work..."

Although he complained, Lao Ping still did his job conscientiously and remembered the flavor of each liquid clearly.

Li Luo was also confused after hearing this: "Only flavors? Don't you know what these liquids are?"

"I don't know." Lao Ping shook his head: "The colleague who handed over the work to me only told me the taste of these liquids."

“Have you ever tasted it yourself?”

"No, of course you can't just try it casually. Maybe it has some special effects..."

"I remember someone told me that to reach the sixth floor, one has to pass a very complicated test. Is this the test?" Li Luo pointed at the bottles and jars and asked in confusion.

"I think so... After all, it's pretty hard not to spill it."
