"Think about it, you're quite good."
You're pretty good too. "You Huo suddenly said.
Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows. "Do you often do this?"
"What do you mean?"
Qin Jiu pretended to think about it and then described in a dragging tone, "In order to anger someone,
For example, I gave it to someone you don't know at all,
For example, Invigilator A helped me? To be honest, this is a little childish. "
You Huo snorted,
Pulled up his collar to cover his lips and chin, and walked forward without looking sideways. "My mouth is on my face."
The wind at night in the Arctic could blow facial paralysis into real paralysis. No one was willing to open their mouth in the wind.
The two of them walked in silence for a while.
There was no sound of people. This reef island was a little too quiet. Just like when they first came ashore, it seemed that something was missing.
You Huo took a few more steps,
Suddenly he reacted.
There was no sound of waves.
They had listened to the turbulent waves all the way in the small white boat and disappeared when they came ashore.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing him suddenly stop, Qin Jiu was a little puzzled.
You Huo said, "The sea is frozen. How did the invigilator sail all the way here?"
In the question, the reason why the three Dutch merchant ships were anchored here,
The reason why the captain and crew were forced to live on the deserted island for eight months,
Was because the sea was sealed by thick ice,
They couldn't sail.
The crew-cut first mate said that the merchant ships originally had ice-breaking hinges that were tied to the side of the ship,
They could pass through ordinary ice.
However, the ice here was simply too thick.
It was boundless,
The ice-breaking hinges of the three ships were all scrapped.
But the small white boat they had just boarded was unimpeded all the way, and its speed was not slow.
And he actually only remembered this now.
"Does the invigilator have a special ice-breaking device?" You Huo asked Qin Jiu.
Qin Jiu knew the settings of the examination room and the invigilator's office very well. It was like a living reference book that was nearly 1.9 meters tall.
The book said, "What? Do you want to go to the invigilator's ship to cheat equipment? "
You Huo was seen through at a glance, so he didn't hide it. "Can't I?"
"It's not that you can't." Qin Jiu said, "It's that you don't have it. The invigilator's ship doesn't rely on ice-breaking devices to sail. Otherwise, you would have heard the sound of ice cracking all the way. "
"922 said that the invigilator's ship doesn't have any special treatment."
Qin Jing said, "Wherever the proctor ship passes, the layer of ice will disappear and become normal seawater. There's no need for things like ice breaking devices. Haven't you realized it yet? The system is still very willing to make things easier for the invigilators to catch the examinees. "
What if he asked the crew to pack up and drive the merchant ship along the same path as the invigilator ship?
You Huo pondered as she walked towards the edge of the reef.
It was as if he could read him.... He turned on the flashlight on his phone and shone it around the place where they had just landed. "There's no need to think about it. Look, as soon as the invigilator's ship left, the ice has already sealed it."
Sure enough, the place where the light swept, the ice layer was as white as if it had never been broken...
. Alright.
You Huo dispelled the idea.
The people on the invigilator's ship escaped for the time being.
.
In the stone cave, everyone was busy.
The wood that the two big shots smashed the ship was piled up like a mountain. It directly solved all the fuel supply for the next ten days.
Of course, no one would waste the wealth obtained from such a risk.
They placed the wood in the driest corner and each of them found some handy tools to chop it into more flammable firewood.
The crew had rich survival experience. The few who were not injured followed the examinees to set up the fire points.
They had to ensure that the cave was warm enough and that the smoke could be dispersed. They also had to prevent the fire from collapsing and injuring people.
The large and small fires were all lit. The two stone caves inside and outside suddenly became warm and bright.
The frozen hair and clothes with ice residue were dried. The blood color of the wounds also showed signs of vitality.
Everyone's mood was obviously much better. They sat down around the fire to rest.
Several seriously injured crew members, including the captain, were still unconscious. Wu Li would roughly check their wounds every half an hour. Shu Xue helped her conscientiously.
It had to be said that her identity as a pregnant woman made her seem harmless. Her temperament was also very gentle. She could always get close to people at the fastest speed.
Even Wu Li, who was the most serious, talked to her more than the others.
Wu Li suddenly asked Shu Xue while resting by the fire, "Those two friends of yours, have they ever had brain diseases?"
Shu Xue, "…"
This strict lady asked very politely, but it really sounded like she was scolding people.
Shu Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I've never heard them mention it. Why do you say that?"
Wu Li said, "Occasionally, they act like it."
Shu Xue thought about it and said, "Actually, I haven't known them for long. We took the exam together twice, so my understanding of them is limited. Why don't … you ask them? "
Of course, she couldn't see any signs of illness in You Huo and Qin Jiu. She only felt that they were strong and powerful. They didn't look like they had ever been sick. Moreover … brain diseases shouldn't be that common, right? Two random friends that he met were both mentally ill?
The probability was too low. Shu Xue felt that it was unlikely.
But she wasn't a professional after all. Wu Li must have her reasons for saying that. Shu Xue didn't want to jump to conclusions about You Huo and Qin Jiu.
Oh … what if there really was some sign and it was delayed?
Shu Xue thought.
Wu Li rubbed her warm hands and said, "We'll see. Maybe it's just my occupational disease acting up and I'm overly sensitive."
·
When You Huo and Qin Jiu returned to the cave, everyone had finished their work and started to take turns to rest.
Some people curled up by the fire and fell asleep, making light snoring sounds.
Most people didn't sleep well. From time to time, they would open their eyes and turn over.
Shu Xue looked very sleepy. She sat in the corner and hugged her suitcase, nodding off.
You Huo and Qin Jiu walked over quietly.
She patted her face and woke up. "You're finally back … I calculated the time. It's been more than three hours. I thought something happened to you. I wanted to go find you, but I was stopped. "
The crew-cut first mate stuffed the pocket watch back and said stiffly, "It's not safe at night. Of course I can't let you take the risk."
"Since the last two are back, go and seal the cave." He called a crew member and went outside together. They used the fire to set up a few obstacles.
"Take the time to rest. Try to sleep early. This way, if something happens at night, at least you won't be unable to wake up. "
When he heard the words "unable to wake up", Qin Jiu looked at You Huo meaningfully.
You Huo sat in the corner and stretched out his legs. "I'll guard."
"Did you sleep enough in the confinement room? If you didn't sleep enough, I don't mind working hard tonight. Otherwise, I'm worried that you'll fall asleep halfway and sleep even more deeply than me. "Qin Jiu said.
You Huo: "…"
Under his gaze, Qin Jiu made a zipping motion with his mouth, closed his eyes, and closed his eyes.
·
You Huo leaned the back of his head against the stone wall. His eyes quietly swept over the people in the cave and finally fell on a certain spot.
There were two men huddled there. They had been trembling slightly, and the enlarged shadows on the wall trembled with them.
Their faces were like gold paper. One of them was nervously chewing his nails. His face was restless as if a storm was coming.
You Huo remembered these two people. One was called Chen Fei, and the other was called Huang Rui. Their total score was only 11 points, 6 points less than You Huo and Qin Jiu. Currently, they were ranked last.
They tried their best. They found branches and boarded merchant ships, but the harvest was too small. They were powerless to reverse the situation.
If nothing unexpected happened, in a few hours at midnight, they would be the first group to be responsible for the death of a crew member and receive the punishment they deserved.
Although they didn't know what the punishment was and how to be responsible for the death of a crew member.
But thinking about it, they knew that it must be very scary … They might even die.
Right now, they were waiting for the guillotine to fall in a few seconds.
·
The pocket watch on the first mate's chest quietly moved, indicating the time in the examination room.
At 23: 57 in the evening, the bell suddenly rang in the cave.
The candidates who were sleeping suddenly woke up. Some people even jumped up with their messy hair. "Exam time?"
The one who jumped up was Di Li. He looked around blankly and rubbed his face. "Damn … I was scared to death. I heard the bell and thought I was late for the college entrance exam."
"It wasn't a hallucination."
"There really was a bell. It scared me …"
"Why did the bell suddenly ring? I'm most afraid of this kind of sound. "
The others all talked at once.
Qin Jiu was pinching his forehead when You Huo suddenly patted him.
"Hmm?" He raised his head.
You Huo pointed at the stone wall and said, "Recalculate the scores."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dead rabbit's voice rang out in the cave with a strange echo.
[There are 2 minutes and 21 seconds until midnight. Recalculate today's scores.]
[Today's candidates triggered a total of two points.]
[1. Treat the crew member's injuries.]
[2. Find fuel and ensure the temperature in the cave.]
[The specific scores are as follows:]
[Treating the crew member's injuries is a total of 6 points. Finding medicine is 2 points. Diagnosis and treatment is 4 points.]
[Finding fuel and ensuring the temperature in the cave is a total of 8 points. Finding sufficient fuel is 5 points. Chopping firewood is 1 point. Safely starting a fire is 2 points.]
On the stone wall, the scores of the candidates began to change.
Because Qin Jing and You Huo had provided the medicine and found the fuel, their points were directly increased by 7 points. Their points went from 17.25 to 24.25, and they shot up by four ranks.
Shu Xue and Wu Li added 4 points for diagnosis and treatment, also jumping up two ranks.
Although Di Li and the others also found fuel, the amount was too far from "sufficient", so they only added 1 point.
Most of the remaining groups added 2 points for chopping firewood and starting a fire. It was better than nothing.
Chen Fei and Huang Rui did their best and added 4 points altogether. Their total score went from 11 to 15, but they were still in last place.
They slumped in their seats, feeling empty and frightened.
At this moment, the dead rabbit spoke again:
[All bonus points have been calculated. Now calculating the additional deduction points.]
[Today's candidates triggered a total of one point deduction.]
[1. Exam hall violations, dismantling system ship.]
[The specific scores are as follows:]
[The dismantled system ship has lost its functions. It is completely scrapped and cannot be repaired. The consequences of this action are extremely serious. Offenders will be deducted a total of 10 points.]
The score bar on the stone wall changed again.
You Huo and Qin Jiu's scores were cut in half. They went from 24.25 to 14.25.
Under the combined efforts of the two of them, their total score for the day was negative 3. They successfully kicked Chen Fei and Huang Rui out and sat firmly in last place.
