When the examinees first entered, the crew treated them as uninvited guests,
They always looked like vegetables.
Of course..,
After living on an isolated island for eight months, it was impossible to have meat color.
Now, because the examinees took the initiative to send medicine, their attitude had an obvious change.
In order to express their gratitude..,
The crew decided to share the fire with the examinees. So..,
Everyone moved into the stone cave inside.
·
This cave was indeed small,
As soon as the examinees entered..,
The remaining space was filled.
The man with a crew cut pressed his lips against his lips and said, "The captain has been awake for a long time,
Try to keep your voice down so as not to wake him up. "
He pointed at a figure in the corner.
It was a middle-aged man, curled up further away from the fire,
Leaving the closer to the other crew members.
He was facing the fire,
Frowning as he fell asleep. The light of the fire could not change his pale face. Instead, it made his sunken cheeks,
His prominent cheekbones were even more obvious.
"Captain?" Di Li looked at him curiously,
He whispered, "Is he called Barents?"
The crew members looked at him with strange expressions.
"What's Wrong?" Di Li was a little flustered by their gaze,
He added, "I'm just –"
Before he could finish his sentence..,
A very young crew member said in surprise, "How do you know? Are you a wizard? "
Di Li was extremely proud. He revealed two canine teeth and said, "I'm a werewolf."
The man with a crew cut said slowly, "Werewolf? Oh,
I'm not sure if it's true or not... Anyway, whether it's a witch or a werewolf, it's better to be careful. It's fine on the island, but if you go out, you'll be caught and burned to death. "
"..."
Di Li's mouth stiffened with a smile.
·
Wu Li gave all the crew members a simple examination,
There were a total of 14 people with wounds,
Including the man with a crew cut and Captain Barents.
When this lady was doing business,
She hated being surrounded by people.
But for the sake of the medicine, she made an exception for You Huo and Qin Jiu.
Because she needed someone to hold down this group of feudal remnants with a foreign flavor.
For example, anti-inflammatory medicine.
This medicine was an injection. There were 12 bottles in a box, and one injection came with a free box. There was no condition here, so they could only use the fire to disinfect it.
When Wu Li twisted the needle, several crew members took turns to step back and muttered suspiciously. In the end, before he could take two steps back, You Huo pressed against his heel. His face was filled with despair.
"What are you doing?" Wu Li asked with a straight face.
The crew member's expression made it seem like she was not here to save people, but to rip them off.
The crew-cut first mate explained, "They said that your medical skills are too strange. Normal doctors wouldn't use this thing to make water."
Wu Li's hand paused in the middle of pushing the bubble. "… Water?"
The crew cut keenly sensed her displeasure and immediately added, "It's just a description. Don't take it seriously."
Wu Li still had a straight face. "What do their normal doctors do? Let me hear it. "
The crew was talking and gesticulating, and even uttering "Pah, pah," onomatopoeia.
The crew-cut summarized it simply. "Usually, there's a long thin stick that's used to whip the patient."
Wu Li: "…"
"With what?" Shu Xue didn't hear clearly.
Qin Jiu was even more concise, "Beat them to death."
Shu Xue: "…"
You Huo said sarcastically, "Why are you so good at generalizing?"
Qin Jiu said with a smile, "You flatter me."
The crew member gesticulated again.
The crew-cut first mate continued to explain, "Bleeding is also a good method. Many doctors also choose to do this."
"…"
Doctor Wu really couldn't listen to this kind of nonsense. She said to You Huo and Qin Jiu, "Help me control it. I'm afraid I can't do it alone. Thank you."
Shu Xue was about to take a step forward when Wu Li said as if she had eyes behind her back, "Sit back down."
"…" The fake pregnant woman was about to die of suffocation.
When the crew members heard that they needed to be controlled, they all wanted to slip away.
The other candidates didn't just sit there and did nothing. They went around to stop them.
They were trying their best to persuade Doctor Wu when they saw Qin Jiu take out the commonly used leather rope. In the blink of an eye, he tied a knot and tied it around the hands of a crew member.
He was extremely skilled. It took him three seconds to tie a knot. In the blink of an eye, he tied a row of ropes.
He counted seven ropes and tied them into a bunch for Doctor Wu.
Just as he was about to go for the eighth one, a slender hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
It was You Huo.
This big brother's five fingers closed into a palm knife. He accurately knocked out the other crew members. Only the crew-cut, the first mate and translator, was left.
The crew-cut was stunned.
Wu Li looked at the bunch of people and people. Her face almost couldn't hold back.
She sighed and debrided the wounds one by one.
·
You Huo noticed that the crew members' wounds were very strange.
Some of them had skin and flesh lacerations, and some left long bruises on their backs or arms. The bruises didn't dissipate for a long time and began to turn blue and black. It was a shocking sight.
These weren't scratches from the claws of fierce beasts, nor were they bite marks.
But in this world of ice and snow, wasn't it a polar bear or arctic wolf?
What kind of fierce beast's attack would leave such wounds?
Before the crew-cut fainted, You Huo asked him.
He sighed and said, "I don't know. We don't know."
"What do you mean?"
"This thing actually started recently …" The crew-cut said.
The most recent was about ten days ago.
They encountered a fish tide under the ice that day and took the opportunity to catch a batch and eat until they were full.
It was a rare lucky day on the island. After they finished eating, they warmed themselves around the fire and talked about something worth looking forward to to encourage each other.
In the end, for some reason, they all fell asleep while chatting.
When they suddenly woke up, the fire had somehow gone out and the cave was pitch black.
They heard a scream next to the crew-cut first mate.
"Fortunately, my hands are always faster than my brain. My first reaction was to grab something." The crew-cut man said, "It was also good luck that I just grabbed his ankle. He was being dragged out of the cave by something. Anyway, it was very strong. I called a group of people to follow behind it, but it was useless. We were almost dragged out together. "
This soul-stirring continued until the fire lit up again.
The force dragging them suddenly loosened, and they fell into a string of dogs eating mud.
"The next day, the place where we were pulled became like this." The crew-cut sighed and said, "Later, we didn't dare to put out the fire during the day. As long as there were people, there had to be a fire, so we took turns to keep watch at night. Even so, sometimes we still can't prevent it. "
"Later, we found that the bigger the fire, the safer it is, so the fuel and firewood consumption doubled."
"When the fuel ran out, we had no choice but to tear down part of the deck to burn. Originally, it was enough to last until the snow melted, but because of this incident, the fire will be cut off today. "
"No." Wu Li interrupted, "The fire can't be cut off for a minute."
Everyone looked at her.
She said, "Injections and medicine are not everything. The temperature has to be guaranteed. If the fire goes out, the temperature in the cave will plummet in a few minutes, and the medicine will be wasted. Not only must there be a fire, but it also has to be bigger and have more firewood. It's best to light both the inside and outside of the cave to ensure a healthy temperature. "
"I understand the principle, but it's a bit difficult to implement." An examinee said, "When I came here, I roughly looked around. This island is almost all stone."
"If it really doesn't work, we have to rely on the merchant ship." Di Li's impression of the exam was too deep. She was always thinking about the wood of the merchant ship.
The crew-cut was anxious. "No! We can't touch the goods! If we really do, we won't have the face to go back. The captain said that if we lose the goods, he will jump into the sea to apologize. I have the same idea as him. "
Everyone: "…"
Di Li quickly said, "Don't touch the goods. I know that goods are more important than lives. I've been writing this subjective question for a year. I'm talking about tearing down the deck! "
"The deck can't be torn down anymore." The crew-cut said, "If we continue, the ship can't be used. It can't even block the wind and rain, and the goods will still suffer. In the end, they will still have to jump into the sea."
Di Li: "…"
Why are there so many causes of death?
"Not even one?" Everyone tried to bargain.
The crew-cut said, "No, and it's not enough to burn."
·
In the cave, the fist-sized flame swayed slightly, and it was smaller than before.
"No, it's really going to go out." Although Di Li was young, she was ranked first after all. She felt that she was destined to be the candidate.
He patted his butt and stood up. "How about this, some of you will go to the island and see if you can find some branches. The other group will follow this uncle — "
The crew-cut: "…"
"— Big Brother, go to the merchant ship and take a look. What if there are some fish that escaped the net? If there's one, it'll be one. "
The others were older than him, so they gave in to him a little.
Moreover, this kid's words were quite reasonable, so everyone split up and followed his instructions.
Wu Li stayed behind to take care of the injured.
Shu Xue prepared ten excuses in her heart and planned to go out together.
She wanted to follow You Huo and Qin Jiu to see if there was anything they needed help with. After all, these two knew that she wasn't really pregnant, so she didn't have to be restrained.
Unexpectedly, the two big bosses calmly followed behind the group and stopped Shu Xue before she left the cave.
You Huo said, "I'll go around alone."
Qin Jiu glanced at him and said, "What a coincidence, me too."
You Huo said, "Oh," and raised his chin at the entrance of the cave. "We're not going the same way. You can go."
Qin Jiu touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue. After thinking for two seconds, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay."
After Qin Jiu left, You Huo turned his head.
Shu Xue asked gently, "Are you sure you don't need help? Looking for firewood in this situation is troublesome. You're all busy, so it's not good for me to just sit around. But if it's not convenient, I'll go back and accompany Wu Li. "
You Huo said, "It's no trouble. At most, it's a little against the rules."
Shu Xue: "…"
He waved his hand and turned to leave. When he reached the entrance of the cave, he turned back and said, "You stay here. Keep an eye on that person's luggage."
After saying that, he added, "He eats a lot."
Shu Xue: "… Oh."
·
Under the twilight, the system's boats used to pick up the examinees were neatly parked in a circle. They were a short distance away from the three merchant ships in the question.
According to the exam rules that were announced at the beginning, the system-configured boats would only set sail again after the exam was successfully completed. They would then take each group of examinees out of the exam venue.
Other than that, there shouldn't be anyone here.
But at this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared on the deck of one of the system's boats.
He had just climbed up the rope ladder and was bending over the helm to pick and choose, looking for a suitable tool.
It was You Huo, who had just said that he wanted to go around alone.
He was looking for the long iron hook that he used when he boarded the ship.
He clearly remembered that he threw it here, but he didn't know why he couldn't find it.
You Huo walked around in a circle and lost his patience. He flipped over a dagger that was slightly longer than his hand and planned to do something.
His fingers traced the seam of the deck and he raised the blade to pry it open. As a result, there was a sudden cracking sound in the cabin.
Someone's here?
You Huo froze for a moment. He frowned and walked to the side of the stairs. He used his foot to move the trapdoor.
He thought that he would see the old captain who stayed behind, but he ended up seeing Qin Jiu instead …
The other party was holding the missing long iron hook in one hand and throwing away a pried board in the other.
With a clang, the board fell to the side. There was already a small pile there.
Qin Jiu heard the movement above his head. He spun the long hook in his hand and placed it on his shoulder. He looked up and said, "What a coincidence, top student. You also came to visit the system's boats?"
You Huo: "…"
He lowered his eyelids and looked for a moment. He crouched down next to the trapdoor with the dagger in his hand.
"Do you still remember that you're an invigilator?" He asked Qin Jiu across the tall wooden stairs.
Qin Jiu laughed. "Is that so? I have a little impression. But right now, I look more like your accomplice. What do you think? "
You Huo looked down from above for a moment. Finally, he turned his head and snorted. "Alright."
·
Half an hour later.
Di Li and the others returned to the cave in batches. They brought along their spoils of war: two bundles of wet branches and three pieces of deck to prolong their lives.
That was all.
This was obviously not enough.
While everyone was gloomy, the candidate closest to the cave entrance suddenly stood up.
"What's wrong?" Everyone became nervous.
"I heard a sound … Wait, I'll go take a look!" The candidate said and went out.
In less than half a minute, he came running back.
"F * ck …"
He cursed as soon as he entered the cave. Then, he took two deep breaths.
"What's wrong? Don't breathe, tell me! "
"The two from the bottom!"
"Hm?"
"They brought back a huge pile of dry wood. It's right at the entrance!"
"A huge pile? How is that possible? Where did they come from? "Before Di Li could finish his question, he was already flying out.
The moment he flew out, he heard the candidate say, "They pried from the ship! They dismantled the system's boat! "
Di Li: "…"
What???
More than thirty candidates rushed out of the cave and were immediately shocked by the pile of wood at the entrance.
Before they could close their mouths, the dead rabbit outside the cave came back to life.
