A closed natural space surrounded by layers of concrete walls that cannot be climbed. For three years, the underground elevator will bring up one person and some necessary daily necessities every month. Gradually, this natural space has been transformed into a place suitable for survival, but only suitable for survival. The living state of people in natural space is similar to that of primitive tribes, growing vegetables, chopping firewood, hunting, sleeping in simple hammocks, eating roasted prey, and drinking homemade red wine. They used to have dark days and people panicked. Later, three rules were set: first, help the team, this place is not personal; second, don’t hurt other people, if we trust each other, nothing will work here; third, don’t jump over the walls there .
Almost everyone sent here can't remember anything except their own name. They engraved everyone's name on the wall, which is equivalent to a big family. If someone dies, the deceased's Names will be crossed out.
The people living here have a clear division of labor, including butchers, doctors, vegetable farmers, hunters, and people who manage daily life. Of course, orderly life here is inseparable from management, and the manager is the first person to be sent here. There is also a special profession here - runners, who are the hope of those who live here to escape this enclosed space.
The surrounding concrete walls open a huge passage in the early morning and close again in the evening. Those who have been inside know that it is actually a huge labyrinth, and this labyrinth moves over time. No one can stay in the labyrinth for a night, because there are several monsters in it, people call them "penitents". After exploring everything around, there is no way to escape. People can only hope in the maze, thinking that the maze is their only way to go outside. But the moving maze is dangerous, so people choose the best physique and the fastest person to go in to explore the maze, draw a map of the maze, in order to find a way to escape, and the selected person is the runner.
The runners entered the maze every morning and ran out of the maze at night before the wall was closed. After three years of exploration, the runners ran around every corner of the maze, and completely explored the movement rules of the maze, and even drew them. Out of the three-dimensional model of the six areas of the maze, but disappointed that the expected exit was not found. In order not to lose hope, the news was not made public, and the runners continued to explore the labyrinth as always.
But then a newcomer, in order to save people, entered the labyrinth and killed a penitent using the wall that was about to close, and obtained a high-tech cylinder with a display 7 from the penitent's body. The cylinder is a key that unlocks the seventh area of the maze, and runners find their way out.
