Chapter 5 Countdown
This time the space shifted, Qiu Yu almost didn't feel any discomfort, just as if someone had switched a picture in front of him. The people around him didn't react to the sudden move of the ball of light for a long time.
"Damn......" A big white man shouted first, and then rushed towards Qiu Yu with a furious face with his fist raised.
Qiu Yu could realize that the white man was here to beat him, but his body couldn't keep up with his thinking to avoid the action anyway, but fortunately, a broad figure quickly stood in front of him.
Seeing that the target was blocked behind him, the white man had no intention of stopping, and smiled a little more and continued to hit Qian Xiao's face.
A dangerous glint flashed in Qian Xiaoxu's eyes.
Bump -
The nearly two-meter body slashed in an arc in the air, tumbling and falling to the ground.
Qian Xiao quickly withdrew the half-stabbed hand knife, and in front of him stood the strange man who had been wrapping himself tightly. Before, Qian Xiao just thought this person was weird, but now, the blow that easily knocked the white man away made Qian Xiao aware of the danger.
When Qiu Yu looked at him, Qian Xiao immediately regained the normal expression that a fat man should have, "It's okay, it's okay, this big brother is really a good person who draws his sword when he sees injustice." ”
The strange man's head, hidden under the wide down hat, turned around, glanced at Qian and smiled suspiciously, but didn't say anything, but made a deliberately low voice to the white man, "What the regulator said is very clear, now we represent the entire human civilization, don't do this kind of childish behavior that lowers the human rating." ”
The white man got up from the ground, surprised to find that he had not been hurt in any way, so he restrained his irritable mood a little, pointed at Qiu Yu and shouted to the people in the place, "That person, it was that person who just talked nonsense, so that the supervisor did not answer the precious tenth question, and he must be held responsible for this." ”
This sentence made the people around him also faintly show signs of restlessness. Qian Xiao carefully protected Qiu Yu behind him again.
"The tenth question itself doesn't seem like it might be answered normally, how can you blame me for the current situation." Qiu Yu looked at the white man with an expressionless face, "Such a big person, you are still so timid, you actually want to find someone to beat you up to vent the fear in your heart, right?" Don't involve me with this kind of childish thinking. ”
Qiu Yu's words were just right, whether the white man really thought so or not, at least it was enough to appease other people who did think this way.
The white man's face turned red, and he was about to have a seizure when he suddenly heard someone screaming.
"What the hell is this place?"
They were now in a half-dilapidated theater-like theater hall, lit only by a few small lights on the walls around them and overhead, not very bright, but enough to see everything around them. It's almost all around with anything that can be seen in a supermarket, and it's piled high enough that you can't see if there's a window or something like that on the wall. In the corner of the hall, there was a two-man wide aisle, from which the cry was heard.
A few people close to the aisle immediately ran over after hearing the shout, Qiu Yu and Qian Xiao glanced at each other, and also ran at the same time.
But when the two of them arrived at the aisle, the people who ran into the aisle first all seemed to be afraid of something, desperately retreated, and from the crowded gap, they could barely see that there was a person standing alone outside the aisle, there was another hall, but unlike the previous one, this hall was an all-glass structure, standing there, except for the back aisle, you could see the scene in all directions outside the glass hall.
However, there is nothing to see in those scenes, because there is white snow all around, which is not a description of white snow in the conventional sense, but the most literal meaning - the whole world that can be seen is nothing but snow.
This should be what makes the people standing in the glass hall scream.
But it was him who made those who ran to him desperately backward because they heard his scream.
Qian Xiao rubbed his eyes and asked Qiu Yu uncertainly, "I seem to see a red time countdown on that person's head?" ”
"Do you see that it shows 23.57.24?" Qiu Yu took a few steps back without a trace.
"No, what I saw was 23.57.03" Qian Xiao also stepped back, "Oh, it's 23.56.55 now." ”
Qiu Yu amplified his voice, "What is the easiest thing you think of when you see the countdown?" ”
"Bombs."
The people around them took the first step to answer, and the people who were hesitating at the crossing just now all ran back desperately after hearing these two words.
Qiu Yu and Qian Xiao, who had retreated some distance, just avoided the flow of people fleeing for their lives. Then he walked indifferently into the glass hall.
"You've got it on your head, too."
"You're not the same."
After confirming this situation, the two quickly returned to the aisle.
Qian Xiao looked back at the person who was still standing in the glass hall, "Do you want to call him in." ”
Qiu Yu opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't make a sound for a long time, and he always looked like he wanted to say something.
"You're saying it's better not to call him, just let him stand there until the end of the timer, so you can see the clear results, right?" The weirdo who had been wrapping himself walked over, "This judgment is correct, why don't you just say it?" ”
Seeing that Qiu Yu didn't speak, Qian Xiaoxuan squinted his eyes and looked at this strange man vigilantly like a fat poisonous snake, "According to you, is it the right judgment to let that person be our pathfinder and then die?" ”
"Isn't that clear?" Under Qian Xiao's glare, he pulled his hat down again, better covering his face, "The novice teaching we participated in has no explanation like before, but I don't believe that this time it will be over just by waiting for time, if you don't take the initiative to find out what to do...... Not only us, but the entire human civilization may be affected. Therefore, everyone here must play their own value. ”
"Then he," Qian Xiao pointed to the person who was still standing in the glass hall, "his value is to send him to death?" ”
"It's exploration." Qiu Yu said suddenly, "The regulator explained at the beginning that this is a war game between civilizations, and the first two novice teachings do not have any hints, that is, to tell us that the growth of civilization will not get external help, and what to do and what to do must be discovered by ourselves, so this is not only a novice teaching but also a way to observe the development of our human civilization through us." ”
"Can you study a civilization through a few dozen people?" Qian Xiao shook his head.
"Why not? Isn't the so-called civilization made up of us as individuals? Besides, the regulators do not say that they must understand our civilization, they just want to understand us, who represent human civilization. With that, Qiu Yu found a comfortable-looking chair and a novel by the wall, and then sat down in the glass hall and read the book.
Qian Xiao reluctantly followed, looking at the decreasing time on Qiu Yu's head and said with a wry smile, "According to your words, even if it is exploration now, there is still a lot of risk in exploration, there is no need to work hard." ”
Qiu Yu pretended to be calm and flipped through the book, "Do you think I'm a person who is not afraid of death?" ”
Qian Xiao thought for a while, "You are much more afraid of death than me, and you can't hide this from me." ”
"That's it, there's definitely a danger in exploring, but not this time."
"I know what you want to say," Qian Xiao said dissatisfiedly, "You want to say that this exploration is a part of novice teaching, and the difficulty of teaching should lie in whether we dare to explore, so this exploration should not have bad results." ”
Qiu Yu looked at Qian Xiao, then at the strange man looking at the aisle, and sighed, "It seems that my mind is very simple, and anyone can easily see through my thoughts." ”
Ignoring Qiu Yu's foolishness, Qian smiled, "But I'm still not in favor of taking risks, even if there is only a one percent chance of danger." ”
"But in the growth of civilization, the benefits of exploration are always greater than the dangers, don't you want to get this benefit in this game first?" Qiu Yu's words were not only persuading Qian Xiao, but also persuading himself who was not determined. He had already made a plan, if Qian Xiao continued to object, he would immediately pick up the stool and go back, and hand over the glorious task of exploration to others.
Qian Xiao lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said with a smile, "This gambling looks really tempting, so let's gamble once in a while." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Xiao pulled out a small folding bench hidden there from behind his fat waist. In the wailing of the bench, he sat next to Qiu Yu and closed his eyes to recuperate.
A few minutes later, the weirdo who wrapped himself also took a chair and sat next to the two of them.
In the hallway, the others kept pointing at a few people, but no one wanted to come out. Three seated and one standing figures became the only sight in the fragile hall.
