Chapter 19: Cave X Secret Realm X Roommate Conversation
The storm has stopped for several hours, the sea is calm, the sky is clear, the candidates dare not have the slightest slack after a night of fear, the stranded ships that were piled up in the sea are now all floating debris except for the battleship hotel, and the candidates all know that after the calm is now a more violent hurricane, if you don't prepare as soon as possible, everything in front of you, including yourself, will sink to the bottom of the sea.
"The cables that hold the hull in place are almost all cleared, and there are still two that need to be sawn. Jay and Oddfang cleaning the seaweed from the hull and propellers. The main gun and ammo transmitter have been repaired, and the Silva is on standby in the turret. Blast, Peng Si and Dongba are repaired in the power room, and if it goes well, it can be completely repaired in about ten hours. Gen takes three people to the island in search of food and fresh water. "Inside the bridge, Kuka Pickup reported to Hanzo about the situation.
"Now the focus is on power maintenance and fairway clearance. We had to get out of the stranding zone when the hurricane approached and the tide was high, and we had to ask Stubble to reconfirm the status of the shells and the main guns. Try a few shots first, don't be dumb at the critical moment, and mark the target on the reef. ”
Kurapika held up a hand-drawn map in his hand: "In addition, we found some compasses in this map in the room. Now it seems to be somewhat misleading, after all, a storm of this magnitude could not have left safely with a small boat alone. ”
"Fortunately, the source found the journal in advance......" Hanzo sighed.
Gen takes Somi, Jianmei, and Agen to find a cave on the other side of Gunkanjima. This is thanks to Suomy's monkey, who found the hole behind the bushes while picking coconuts.
The hole is small enough for an adult to bend into. Yuan and the other three candidates gathered outside the entrance of the cave, and only about 2-3 meters could be seen from the entrance of the cave, and then the passage turned to the left.
"Source, do you want to explore inside? Camli doesn't feel upset inside. Suomi asked as he comforted his monkey Kamli.
Gen consulted the other two candidates with his eyes, and Jianmei and Ah Geng both shook their heads.
“…… So be it, mark it well. Let's get the supplies back first. We don't think we have time to explore either. Yuan thought about it and made a decision. In fact, just now the source also used the 'circle' to explore the situation in the cave, and the passage turned to the left at about 2 meters and then extended about half a meter before turning sharply, and the cave passage became wider, and then it was beyond the perception range of the 'circle' inward. In Yuan's mind, the second hurricane arrived on the third night, with less than a day to go, and Yuan was not sure if he could complete the exploration in those hours.
When leaving, the other three did not notice the source and launched the 'Kitchen Tricksters', releasing 20 elves and giving instructions to explore.
More than twenty minutes later, the four returned to the warship.
"The supplies are almost collected, plus the inventory on the original warship. There are 25 of us enough for about a month. Any of you going to the bridge to report, I'm going back to my room to take a shower. Yuan put down the large bag of coconuts on his shoulder, explained to the other three, and returned to his room.
As soon as he closed the door, Yuan was sweating profusely. Moved to the side of the bed with difficulty, and fell on the bed: "Curiosity kills cats...... I didn't expect ...... The cave turned out to be ......"
Yuan immediately fainted, and his body instinctively entered a state of 'absolute'.
When Yuan woke up again, he saw Shi Ba sitting on his bed, wiping her sniper rifle.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Yuan secretly tried to launch the 'entanglement', and when he found that there was no problem, he turned his head and asked.
"Are you awake?" Shi Bao stopped what he was doing: "About two days!" I've been operating the turret until I get back to the room to find you on the ground. That was already a day ago. By the way, we're out of the storm zone. I also got in touch with the exam board and they met us a day later. ”
"How did you faint?"
Gen sat up against the wall and didn't answer directly, "Did Somi report that we found a cave on Gunkanjima?" ”
"They did, but they didn't think it had anything to do with you fainting. Of the four people, you are the only one who faints, how are you different from them? ”
He spread his hands and replied affirmatively: "It's a little different, it's not the level you are in contact with now." ”
"How high can it be?"
Pinched it and tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Hmm...... It should be the level of those examiners we encountered, intuitively the level of Hisoka. I seem to have told you that I can be in the top three among the candidates......"
Shi Ba took off his sunglasses and looked at Yuan with a look of disbelief: "If your strength is strong, then you still faint?" ”
I really couldn't stand Shi Bao's gaze and decided to reveal something: "I said that you haven't come into contact with this level yet, and it's not a secret anyway, let me tell you." It is a kind of use of life energy, which we call mindfulness. In fact, there are many names, such as special functions, oriental 'qi', and even some exorcism and psychic spirits. I fainted because the cave was a secret realm that could only be triggered by telepathic beings, and my consciousness had been trapped there for the past few days. Fortunately, the time inside seems to pass quickly, and I have been sleepy in it for about half a year......"
"Read? There are vague rumors about this in the mercenary circle, but everyone doesn't take it seriously. ”
"Well, since I've said that, I'll explain it to you. It's easy to go astray if you don't know anything about it. Yuan intends to make a brief introduction: "Thought, in fact, is life energy. Theoretically, anyone can have a thought, for example, some painters will keep their thoughts on their works because they are too focused, making it easier for people to feel the emotions of the painter at that time. Actually, I think it's more appropriate to use the Eastern theory of 'qi'. However, there are not many people who finally master the mind, and the probability is about 1 in a million. ”
Hearing this probability, Shi Ba's eyes were a little dim: "So low? ”
Pointing to his own source in a slightly mocking tone, he said, "Yes, you think Chinese cabbage? There are about 7,000 of them in the world. But you're unfortunate that there are three minds in this hunter exam, and it's still the top one. It was revealed that according to Hisoka's own scores, they were 100, 95, and 80. By the way, you people are the 5 scum of war in the eyes of Hisoka. No, there are two combat strength that are about 10 years old. ”
Shi Bao was obviously shocked by this information, pointed to the source and asked in disbelief: "Are you 95?" ”
Yuan pursed his lips and rolled his eyes: "Unfortunately, I'm the one in my 80s, and according to me, I have moisture." My own score is 150 and 65, the difference is against the ingredients and people. I'm not a martial artist. ”
"Who is 95?"
Gen gripped his head with both hands imitating nails and made a grimace as Illumi disguised: "The guy with a full head of nails." Your sniper rifle is no threat to people like us, except at close range. But you can't hit us at close range. So if you face those two people, try to hide as much as possible. ”
“…… How can I learn to read? Shi Bao couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I'm talking about it when you survive the exam. Now you don't have to think about it and concentrate on the exam. Remember that survival is the most important thing, the hunter exam is every year, and life is only once. ”
"You teach me?"
"As long as you don't practice as a female orangutan...... "Bisji's mind came to the image of Bisji turning back into his body, and he unconsciously shuddered.
"You are a mercenary, you can team up with me in the future, and it will be tuition." Gen felt that he needed a companion in the future and put forward the condition of forming a team.
Shi Ba's eyes lit up and he agreed without thinking about it: "Yes!"
Since they could become companions, Yuan couldn't let Sproh provoke Illome in the fourth test. The plan needed to be revised, and although it was difficult, it was not impossible to pass the test with Sparrow.
