The room you are in has a large metal door with a keypad lock. There are no windows, The walls are featureless cinder blocks, except for a few drawings and mysterious symbols etched into the stone. You notice a piece of paper on the ground, which reads: "You have sewer oil to eat and tuberculosis. Welcome to Wuhan."
Your first task is to find a way to unlock the door. On the wall next to the door, you see a series of numbers and letters etched into the stone. It reads: "B12F4M9". There is also a small plaque next to the keypad, which says "Enter the code that unlocks the mysteries of the universe."
As you begin to ponder the meaning of the code, you hear a loud ticking noise coming from the center of the room. Looking around, you see a large wooden clock with various symbols etched onto the face. The clock has no hands, and the ticking seems to be getting louder with each passing second.
You realize that the code on the wall must somehow relate to the clock. But how? You begin to search the room for clues and notice that each of the drawings on the wall has a symbol that matches one of the symbols on the clock.
As you examine each drawing more closely, you notice that each one has a a riddle written on the back.
Riddle 1: "I am always hungry, I must always be fed. The finger I touch, will soon turn red."
Riddle 2: "The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I?"
Riddle 3: "What has a heart that doesn't beat?"
Riddle 4: "I am light as a feather, yet the strongest man cannot hold me for much more than a minute. What am I?"
You realize that solving each of these riddles will provide you with a clue to the code on the wall. But you'll have to figure out the answers to escape and get to a hospital that has penicillin.
Can you?
