The road down the mountain was very long, and everyone walked in silence.
Half of it was because they were scared by Baldy turning into Hunter's Armor, and the other half was because of the cold.
The group walked for half an hour, and the monotonous scenery finally changed. The end of the pine forest suddenly opened up and connected to the main road at the foot of the mountain. There was a boundary marker on the side of the road.
On one side was written: Rooster Cry Foothills.
On the other side was written: 100 meters forward.
The name Rooster Cry Mountain easily reminded people of the dead chicken hanging in the hunter's hut. It obviously referred to the mountain they came down from.
But 100 meters forward referred to the main road in front of them …
The snow in front of them was foggy, and they couldn't see anything clearly.
"What's the first 100 meters to Ang Ang Ang? The lower half was buried by the snow? "Yu Wen's lips trembled, and he was so cold that he stuttered.
He stuffed his hands in his pockets and didn't want to take them out. He scraped the snow on the boundary marker with his shoes.
Everyone asked, "What's written?"
Yu Wen shuddered and walked back. "The soil is frozen solid. I can't scrape it open."
There was still only half of "100 meters forward" on the boundary marker. Other than being clearer, there was no change.
"It can't be …" Zhou Jin's face was as cold as a ghost, and he whispered.
Yu Wen: "No, no, no. If you start crying again after just one round, wouldn't you be forcing Yi Yi Yi to die?"
Everyone was silent, and their footsteps hesitated.
"Don't you think people die a lot?" You Huo threw out a sentence and walked to the front.
His voice was too suitable for the wind and snow, and when he opened his mouth, it could freeze people.
Everyone shivered and looked at each other, then quickly followed him.
·
With You Huo leading the way, they didn't walk slowly at all.
After a while, the outline of a house appeared in the snow in front of them.
The shadow of the hunter's hut was still in their hearts, so when they saw the house, they weren't very surprised.
But everyone soon found that there was more than one house.
They walked up a gentle slope and found a few houses standing in front of them.
It would be too exaggerated to call it a small town. It was like an unpopular mountain scenic spot. At the foot of the scenic spot, there were sporadic residents doing tourist business. They couldn't receive many visitors a year and were ready to close at any time.
The house closest to them had a light box hanging on it, and red words on a white background: Accommodation heating.
Catering.
The main point was prominent, and the attraction was very fatal.
Everyone was unable to move at all.
"Why don't we stay here for the night?" Lao Yu asked carefully.
He thought that You Huo would reject him coldly because it was difficult to determine whether this place was safe or not.
In the end, his nephew entered the family faster than anyone else.
·
You Huo was already hungry.
When he was trekking in the snow, the thing he regretted the most was handing in his paper too quickly.
If he had been a few minutes slower, the beef from 922 would have been cooked.
He could only blame that invigilator 001 for being too eye-catching and disturbing his meal.
She thought of Qin Jiu's face …
You Huo touched his ear stud and was in a bad mood.
Thus, when the hotel receptionist raised her head, she saw his cold face.
The receptionist was speechless.
The receptionist was a young man who looked like a skinny monkey. He was silent for two seconds before he turned around and shouted, "Boss! Someone's here! "
"Summoning souls? Don't you know how to greet them? "It was a woman who spoke. Her voice was crisp and could be felt through the door.
"I'm afraid they'll run away." The receptionist glanced at You Huo and said embarrassedly.
"This damned place, where can they run to? Tell me." The door at the end of the corridor on the first floor opened, and a short-haired woman came out with a kitchen knife.
The receptionist was shocked, and even You Huo was stunned.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
"Oh, nothing." The short-haired woman said, "I don't want to eat in the canteen today, so I asked for some vegetables and meat and made some myself."
She lowered the kitchen knife and smiled at You Huo. "Yo, handsome! Just finished the exam? Xiao Hu, register them. "
With the boss backing her up, the receptionist, Xiao Hu, said to You Huo, "Can you tell me your name? Let me see how many days you'll be staying. "
Lao Yu and the others rubbed their hands and entered the door. When they heard the two of them, their expressions turned ugly.
"Just finished the exam? How did you know we … "
The boss raised her eyebrows and smiled like a mountain monster. "These words are really strange, can you please look at this line of words?"
She used the back of the knife to knock on the wall, and Xiao Hu tactfully stepped aside, revealing a complete wall covering. On it were the words:
Examinees' resting area.
Examinees' resting area????
Everyone's expressions turned even uglier.
Zhou Jin muttered, "I thought …"
The boss said indifferently, "You thought you weren't far from entering the city, right? That's normal, this is your first time in the resting area, right? It's always like this. "
Lao Yu asked, "Also, what do you mean by seeing how many days we'll be staying? Isn't it up to us to decide how many days we'll be staying? "
The boss laughed even harder. "In your dreams."
Lao Yu, "…"
"Alright, I'll stop joking!" The boss said, "There are rules for how many days you should rest after the exam. You can't stay as long as you want. Don't waste your time here, hurry up and tell me your name, why are you all blocking the door? "
The tattooed man was unhappy when he heard this, and he showed his recklessness. "F * ck, stay my * ss! This is clearly a dangerous shop, whoever wants to stay can stay, I'm leaving! "
Who knew that the boss was even more reckless than him.
She stabbed the kitchen knife in her hand into the front desk, and Xiao Hu jumped three feet high.
"Leave, you're a grandson if you don't leave." The boss pointed at the door and said to the tattooed man.
Tattooed man, "…"
He glared angrily, wrapped his collar tightly, and bit the zipper end in his mouth, turned around and left.
·
The registration of the accommodation gave off an air of the underworld.
The others looked at the kitchen knife at the front desk, not knowing whether to leave or stay, only You Huo reported his name without changing his expression.
Xiao Hu tapped on the keyboard and said, "I found it, you have a total of seven days of rest this time. From now onwards — "
He turned to look at the clock on the wall. "Starting from 3: 12 in the afternoon, you will automatically check out at 3: 12 in the afternoon seven days later. This is your room card. "
You Huo took the room card.
The front of the card had the room number written on it, You Huo was in 404.
The boss glanced at it and added, "Oh right, we don't have any taboos here, so if you get a room like 404 or 414 … that's your fate, don't take it too seriously. After all, just because you don't live with a '4' doesn't mean you won't die in the exam, right? "
Her words made everyone's faces turn green with comfort.
You Huo didn't even raise his head, and turned the room card over.
The first line on the back read:
Candidate Resting Area, Manager: Chu Yue
Below was a form of admission ticket:
Name: You Huo
Admission Ticket Number: 86045110062231000 A
Subjects Tested: Physics
Accumulated Score: 19
The boss, Chu Yue, finally had a look of surprise. "You got 19 points in one exam? I couldn't tell! "
You Huo looked up coldly.
Chu Yue: "Oh no, I'm praising you! I'm praising you for having a face that brings disaster, and for having such a good name! "
You Huo: "…"
She didn't wait for You Huo to speak, and went back into the room with the kitchen knife with a laugh.
Xiao Hu thought for a moment, and obediently recited the lines for You Huo: "There's hot water, and the heating is in place. For those who just entered, don't be in a hurry to warm your hands, take a bath, and get into bed. In a while, I'll bring you a bucket of snow and wine. Warm up your exposed arms and legs before you enter. The three meals will be served at 7am, 11am, and 5pm. The dining hall is on the first floor, just around the corner. The three meals will take two hours each, which means that the food will be served at 9am, 1pm, and 7pm. The chef has a bad temper, so he won't wait for overdue meals. "
After You Huo heard this, he nodded and said, "Is there food?"
Xiao Hu: "… We won't wait for overdue meals."
You Huo looked at him.
He looked at You Huo.
Two seconds later, Xiao Hu turned his head and shouted, "Boss! The customer wants to eat! "
·
Boss Chu claimed that he was a superficial person who acted based on appearances.
Fortunately, You Huo was in this group of examinees.
Not long after, everyone warmed up and sat in the dining hall to eat the dumplings personally made by Boss Chu.
Yu Wen complained that he had no appetite and ate a lot.
After the hot food went down their stomachs, their tense minds finally relaxed a little.
Everyone was a little sleepy, leaning against each other in a daze in their seats.
Chu Yue said, "Your group of examinees is really interesting."
You Huo looked at her.
It was snowing heavily, but Chu Yue was holding a glass of cold beer. She took a sip and explained, "There were only three people in the group that came to check in yesterday morning, here –"
She pointed to the ceiling. "They don't go out at all except for meal time. They don't even come out at meal time. They only eat two bites and they're full. They either stare blankly or cry. "
"Three people? What did they take? How many people were there when they went in? "Yu Wen asked.
"The same as you guys." Chu Yue said in a matter-of-fact tone, "The people who have checked in with me recently all took the same exam."
Yu Wen: "… the same exam? The one with hunter armor? There were only three people left? "
Chu Yue said, "Three people is a little little, but at most there are five or six people. That's the norm."
"How many groups have you received?" Yu Wen thought of the bald man who turned into a hunter armor and rubbed his goosebumps. "Doesn't that mean there are many hunter armors?"
Chu Yue said, "Of course not. When I said the same exam, I meant the same exam hall. You guys can only enter after they finish the exam and leave. "
She lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Do you know? In some exam halls, you can still find traces of previous examinees. Last time, I heard that someone picked up a finger bone, and someone else picked up a ring. "
