Chapter 206: An Apple a Day
"You're back, what's wrong? And what about one more person? Avet frowned and got up from the bed on the other side, and easily touched her big sword from the side and held it in her arms.
"I also fell, and now I'm being taken care of by a friend." Qiu Xuan returned the dagger to Ye Qing, looked at Chen Pi, who was squatting on the bed and couldn't help shaking, and said, "That infectious disease is transmitted according to the number of trials passed by the executioner, and now it happens to be in the fourth world, so ...... It stands to reason that all four of you should be lying on the ground together now, so why are you two all right? β
"This ...... How could I have known, I'm still confused! Besides, isn't it a good thing to be fine, how do you feel like you're looking forward to something happening to us......"
Chen Pi was the first to jump up from the bed and shout, and then silently lowered his voice under the gaze of the man opposite.
Qiu Xuan glanced at him, then turned her gaze to Ye Qing. "What about you?"
"I don't know, I haven't been out of the lounge all afternoon except for one dinner out with them." Ye Qing carefully retracted the dagger under the pillow, looked at Qiu Xuan as usual and said, it didn't look like he was lying.
"What did you eat?"
At this moment, as if recalling some unpleasant experience, Ye Qing's face, which had always been very calm, became a little ugly. "Eat...... I didn't eat much of the fish like cough, because it was really ......."
Qiu Xuan fully understood her feelings, thought about it and raised her hand to touch a bottle of nutrient solution from the space, telling her that she could drink this on the boat in the future. Chen Pi turned his head and seemed to stare at the bottle of nutrient solution with coveted eyes for a moment, and then lowered his head again without knowing what he was thinking.
"By the way, I also had an apple." Ye Qing suddenly remembered and said.
"Apple? The restaurant has been robbed of all the fruits, where did you get the apples? β
Yavette smacked her lips and took the words, "That sister brought it herself before she was pulled into the testing ground, and she gave us one too, and it was quite sweet." But I only brought three, and there were no more. β
In other words, it is very likely that the temporary immunity brought by these fruits has made Ye Qing and Chen Pi, the two newcomers who should have been the first to be infected, still safe and sound. I just don't know how long this effect will last.
Thinking like this, she casually asked a few more questions, and seeing that there were no other useful clues, she raised her hand and patted Yavet on the shoulder. "Excuse me, go to bed early. At six o'clock in the morning we are going to the dining room to get fruit, and you should go with you, because there is a high chance that there will be a scramble and a fight with the other executioners. β
"Okay, got it. Then let the two of them stay in the lounge by themselves, it's useless to go. Ya Wei nodded in response, and then nodded at the two newcomers who had narrowly escaped. Ye Qing nodded and said that he would not hold back, but the tangerine peel had been unhappy all the time, and it looked like he was unwilling.
They each picked a bed and wanted to close their eyes and rest for a while, Qin Jiuyuan suddenly glanced at Chen Pi's bed with heavy eyes, the darkness covered his expression, and he couldn't really see it for a while.
Six o'clock in the morning, outside the main entrance of the restaurant.
Qiu Xuan and his party deliberately arrived at the agreed location with Bai Hexi ten minutes early, and as soon as they entered the scope of the deck, they were shocked by the scene of zombies besieging the city densely surrounded in front of the restaurant.
Bai Hexi and his party walked over to meet them in surprise, and said, "You should already know about it." β
"Know what?"
"Fresh fruit is the only thing known to slow the spread of disease, or to stop it from spreading. Only by ensuring the intake of one fruit a day can one person be prevented from being infected with infectious diseases. β
GodTM an apple a day.
Only then did Qiu Xuan know that this sentence could be explained in this way, so if she said it this way, she has not been infected with the disease so far, thanks to her to get fruit and drink juice in the restaurant if she has nothing to do?
Also, after the executioners got on the boat, they were on the line of life and death every day, and they all knew what kind of disgusting food was served in the restaurant, so no one would think of going to get the daily special fruit to eat every day.
"So nothing else for now, we have to at least grab two fruits for you and Qingqing today." Bai Hexi leaned closer and lowered his voice and said, "You two are high-risk elements at present, let you survive first." β
"Actually, I don't need to say that," Qiu Xuan also whispered, "Roughly calculated, I have eaten fruit for nearly a month since I got on the ship, and I should be able to survive until the end of this infection." β
The woman with glasses got close to hear this, and immediately said in surprise: "Why do you come to the restaurant every day to eat fruit?" So is it nutritionally balanced? β
Seeing that this volume was about to become a propaganda column for food, nutrition, health and green life, Qiu Xuan reined in time and said, "When will the restaurant open, then do we want to squeeze to the front to seize the opportunity?" β
"The door opens at half-past six, but it's really useless to squeeze to the front." The woman with glasses sighed softly, "Look at the people gathered here now, basically the executioners on the ship who have some combat ability are here, and there is no way, everyone wants to live." At this time, the fastest rush is the live target, do you think that they will easily give you the chance to survive at that time? β
"That's right."
There's still half an hour to go, so we'll have to wait. Qiu Xuan yawned and took out a bottle of energy liquid from the space, which can be counted as breakfast, she walked to the periphery alone, picked a relatively open place, sat down and closed her eyes to recuperate, which was regarded as making up for the serious lack of sleep since she got on the boat.
"I thought about it for a long time after I went back, and finally determined that your conditions were indeed fantastic."
In the darkness, she heard a familiar male voice behind her, and she didn't open her eyes, so she closed her eyes and faced in an unknown direction. Qiu Xuan spoke: "So what? β
"So, I can't help but come over and ask you, why do you have such an idea?"
Jiao Guancheng walked in front of her alone to avoid the crowd, stared at the relaxed posture of the person in front of him who seemed to be completely unguarded, and after laughing a few times, he also sat down with his legs bent.
"I'm different from Old Man Liang and Little Sister, I'm also a complete egoist, and I'm more curious. So I still want to ask, why are you talking to us about cooperation? β
"Then you should know that curiosity will kill you."
"So, I'm just asking, and I don't want you to answer me."
Qiu Xuan opened her eyes.
- "I can work with you to exchange clues and find out the 'stuff that came to the boat', and I don't even want to give it to you in the end, but I have one condition. β
"What is it?"
"I want the heart of the Leviathan."
"Are you crazy?!" "What did you say!"
That day in Lao Liang's lounge, Qiu Xuan leaned on Ruiyi's scimitar to propose such a cooperation. She knew that with the lives and interests of this group of people, of course she would not agree to her request, so she said: "I only need you to help me within the scope of your ability, if the situation threatens your life at that time, you can leave at any time, but our cooperation will not be invalidated." β
After the contemplation of the group, they finally agreed to this seemingly ridiculous request. They don't have a reason to say no, do they?
Such an agreement is advantageous for them, although I don't know what reason she has for making such an absurd request, but when the time comes, will they not be able to run away with their ability?
Even if they kill her here, they will also lose several key clues, which will not help them complete the captain's mission. Besides, when the day of Leviathan's incarnation, if you want to temporarily repent, no one will care if the overall situation is already decided, and another executioner like Qiu Xuan will die.
On that day, several people with different intentions reached a cooperation of interests on the surface. Before leaving, Qiu Xuan took one last look at the closed door on the inner floor of the lounge, and then bumped into Hephaestus, who chased him out and told him that everyone was born on the ship.
Time comes back to the moment.
"Since you asked, I'm just curious." Qiu Xuan glanced at him and said lightly. "I'm just curious if the Leviathan has a heart, can't I?"
"Okay, that's great." Jiao Guancheng began to exaggeratedly mobilize his facial muscles and gave her a thumbs up, "I pride myself on being curious about such a shortcoming, but compared to someone like you who wants to dig out the heart of a god on the sea because of curiosity, I am still ashamed." β
Qiu Xuan should have heard his yin and yang tone.
After sitting like this for a while, until Bai Hexi couldn't bear it anymore and came out to find someone, Qiu Xuan took a breath and got up from the ground, and drank the last sip of energy liquid without care.
"What time is it?"
"Twenty-five! Even if you are really injured and can't fight, then at least pretend to work hard, you look at the people around you and then look at you, aren't you a little ashamed of your own unmotivated? "Bai Hexi hates that iron does not become steel. Qiu Xuan looked at him and thought it was quite funny, compared to the person who was also beautiful and delicate before, but although he was still unapproachable on the surface, she felt that Bai Hexi was a little more ...... Human taste.
In other words, pyrotechnics.
It wasn't until Liu Qing secretly told her Bai Hexi's "beloved" who died in the trial ground that she really felt a little bit of fireworks living in the world from him. is no longer an empty and delicate real-life SD doll, but a living person who is really struggling to survive in the world.
"Not bad." She patted Bai Hexi's shoulder.
"Nice? What's not bad, the bastard still thinks he's good? β
They made it all the way to two-thirds of the crowd, staying in a relatively inconspicuous but somewhat forward position.
"When the door opens, I, Avet and Evie will be responsible for opening the way in front, and the team leader and a few of you will deal with the dark arrows in the rear. Whoever gets the fruit will be the same when the time comes, and our goal is two for the time being, don't be greedy, you know? "Before half past six, another executioner in Bai Hexi's team told them one last time.
Qiu Xuan said: "I don't need it, now I only need to take one." β
"Okay, that's one. Get readyβ"
While silently reciting the countdown in their minds, all the executioners on the deck were ready to take off, waiting only for the moment when the gate opened.
Half past six!
The door opened a gap from the inside, and the executioners who rushed to the front completely slammed into the door with their bodies, and in the next second, the remote elements and hidden weapons in the rear came straight towards the front few people.
In an instant, all sorts of elements and weapons intertwined, and the momentum was even more fierce than the melee on the deck that day. Even after five minutes, no one was able to fully enter the door of the restaurant, and people were fighting with each other for a few chances of survival.
At this moment, the door of the restaurant was pushed open from the inside, and a figure walked out and stood in front of the chaos.
"2v2, match, daily, half past six, on time, at the door of the restaurant, open."
Qiu Xuan, who was already fishing in troubled waters in the crowd, stiffened when she heard this familiar voice, and saw that the sailor who walked out of the restaurant was wearing a white robe, and on top of the white robe was the familiar and funny pink apron.
It's the dead fish-eyed sailor, the one he said he would never see again!
"2v2, Match, Daily, ...... at 6:30"
The sailor watched the chaos in front of him with a blank face and repeated this sentence until the last few of the entangled executioners also stopped moving, and continued as if something had been programmed.
"Every two people, one group, each group, win five times and you get, a fruit. You can team up on your own, but every time, randomly divide against each other, good luck, good luck ......"
Wrong.
The dead fish-eyed sailor in front of him was still stammering "good luck", and the death sentence was as familiar to Qiu Xuan, but something had changed. It's hard to describe, as if the person is still the same person, but only a human body remains, but the contents are ...... It's gone.
- "Okay, goodbye." β
"The last time we met."
Qiu Xuan pursed her lips in silence.
The crowd reacted from their initial surprise and began to discuss their teammates. Qiu Xuan subconsciously looked at Qin Jiuyuan, who was a little stunned when he saw her, and then walked over and stood beside her.
"I reminded him in advance," inexplicably felt that the man standing next to him looked quite happy now, and Qiu Xuan whispered to give him a vaccination. "I can't fight right now, so it's up to you to fight alone."
"yes, I know."
"So I'm in a group with the team leader? We work well together close to each other and from a distance. Another executioner in Bai Hexi's team said this, and Yavit nodded in agreement, and walked over to stand with the glasses woman.
"So, 2v2, matchup, start now."
