"Click!"

There was a crisp sound of metal slotting.

"Huh? What was that? ”

Xu Tian opened his eyes groggily, looked around dimly, and as far as his eyes could see was a spacious and bright silver engine room, and on the bulkhead directly opposite hung three square plastic plates, printed with dozens of dense lines of small characters, the only thing that could be seen clearly was a large line of bold characters at the top of the small characters: [Carrier Ship Operation Specifications].

"Carrier ship! I don't want to go to that place! ”

Xu Tian's heart tightened, and he kicked his legs in a panic to get up, but before his butt left the seat, he was surprised to find that his hands were buckled on the back of the chair, and he couldn't move at all. And at this moment, a guard officer wearing a silver protective suit and a transparent breathing mask came to Xu Tian, only to see him press Xu Tian firmly on the seat with both hands, and then pulled two arm-thick carbon fiber chains from his ears, and skillfully buckled them on the silver lock under his crotch.

"Click!"

Xu Tian was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, the crisp sound just now was made by this silver lock. He hurriedly glanced left and right, counting from the hatch to the stern of the cabin, and there were nineteen people in the same situation as him.

- Twenty men, all chained to a row of small, narrow, gray-and-blue cotton chairs, half of whom were awake and half unconscious.

After making sure that the lock was secure, the guard officer shook his hand in disgust as if he had touched dirty, smelly garbage, and hurriedly turned and walked to the next person.

"Sir, don't go!" Xu Tian screamed in surprise, grabbed the guard officer's protective suit in a panic with both hands, and said with red eyes: "Sir, what are you doing here?" Where are you taking me! ”

The guard officer paused, as if in slow motion, turned his head frame by frame, and looked Xu Tian up and down with extremely disdainful eyes through the breathing mask, as if mocking: Knowingly asking.

Xu Tian did know it, or rather, the townspeople who lived in the copper ring or silver ring were quite familiar with this carrier ship. Soon after the start of each brass ring competition, a huge carrier ship will appear in the sky, dropping prey into the jungle on a predetermined course. It is called prey, but in fact, it is cannon fodder to satisfy the experience of participating in the competition!

"Isn't this the carrier! Who doesn't know! ”

Xu Tian chuckled in his heart, couldn't help but hang his head in despair, let go of his hands weakly, and sighed deeply.

Suddenly, two tears fell on the cold silver lock. Who would have thought that this small lock can completely lock a person's future.

"Why am I so unlucky...... Xu Tian sobbed and howled miserably, "Isn't it just that I'm late for work!" How can life come to an end in the blink of an eye! There are so many things in my life that I haven't tried! The food in the world, I haven't saved enough money to eat! Skydiving and paragliding, haven't taken time off to play yet! Even the girlfriend I miss in my heart has never been made! Why! God, I'm miserable enough, why do you still do this to me! ”

Xu Tian twisted his body angrily, and the chains "clanged" against him, which was extremely noisy. But the guards in the cabin didn't intend to bother or stop him, after all, they had seen a lot of such scenes, and there were more heart-rending things than he shouted.

In that case, let's be lenient, after all, this may be the last cry of his life.

"Hey!" Suddenly, a familiar voice came into Xu Tian's ears, and she lowered her voice and shouted, "Shhh Stop arguing! Can you be like a man! Crying

What are you crying for! ”

Xu Tian immediately suppressed his voice, frowned, and looked in the direction where the voice was in shock, only to see Qiu Qiong sitting two people away from him. The brim of her hat was pressed very low by her, and her face was almost completely black, if she didn't make a sound or Xu Tian didn't pay attention, she really wouldn't have discovered her existence.

However, even on that dark face, her eyes were as bright as the North Star.

Xu Tian was stunned, couldn't help choking, and exclaimed, "Xu Xiao...... Elder brother! You...... How did you end up here! Did they choose you, or did they ......?"

Qiu Qiong smiled bitterly, and said in an unusually flat tone: "I volunteered." ”

"Oops!"

Xu Tian lowered his head in remorse and scolded secretly: "Oh my God, you are really a waste!" From childhood to adulthood, what have you done? Seeing that Miss Xu is going to die, you have a good chance to stop her! But as a result, not only did you not stop anyone, but you also put your own life into it! You're not unlucky, you're stupid! It's stupid! ”

Qiu Qiong stomped her foot hard, causing Xu Tian to look up at her, and then asked in a low voice, "Xu Tian, what is the situation?" I clearly remember that I was still in the amethyst mine just now, and as I walked, I suddenly felt weak...... When you open your eyes again, you're already here? ”

"Alas, it's ** medicine."

"Drugged? No wonder these guard officers are wearing full protective suits......" Qiu Qiong nodded slightly, but there was still something puzzled in her heart, and asked again, "But why did they do this?" They can obviously escort people here directly, what kind of ** medicine do they use? Don't you think it's too much? ”

Xu Tian sighed, stared blankly at the "Carrier Ship Operation Specification" on the bulkhead, and said lightly: "Brother Xu, you don't know, this amethyst mine has always been easy to come in and difficult to get out. It is said that from the underground to the surface exit, it is necessary to go through sixteen forks. If you want to get out of it, you have to choose a safe path at a good time, because the other road is full of traps. Life is not a game after all, you can't start over, let you choose again, once you choose the wrong one, the game will be over forever. ”

"But we are greedy people in the town, and we are still quite strong at remembering, remembering numbers, and remembering patterns. It doesn't matter if he has sixteen forks or thirty-six forks, as long as we go through it, the route is like imprinted in our minds, and we can walk back backwards. Therefore, they are afraid that after someone walks through it in a sober state, they will leak the only safe route, so that everyone is not afraid to come here to work, as long as they want to go, they can do it at any time. So, they installed a spraying device in front of the fork, and people only need to take one breath, and they will immediately fall asleep as if their soul has been drained away. ”

Qiu Qiong nodded thoughtfully, and said jokingly: "I see...... But, according to what you said, aren't all of you people in Greedy Town human flesh navigators? I mean, no wonder you're greedy for the roads in town, they can be so complicated! ”

Xu Tian sighed again, and replied with a gray face: "It's all this time, you are still interested in joking...... It's not funny at all......"

Qiu Qiong smiled lightly and turned her head to look at the open hatch.

At this point, it should be almost night.

The glow outside the hatch became redder and redder, and the vast yellow earth seemed to be covered with a layer of red cloth at this time. A gust of wind swept by, and the yellow sand that was blown up completely faded from the desolate and bleak atmosphere under the rendering of the red glow, and transformed into pale red gems, which was extremely yearning.

However, the people in the cabin are afraid of no more

There was no chance to bask in such a beautiful sunset. This silver lock and those two chains already indicate their end, and no matter how hard you try, you can't change it.

For a while, Qiu Qiong missed Lao Xu a little, but saw her face gradually darken, and secretly thought: "Lao Xu, if you were here, you should keep making fun of me until I laughed." But you're not here now, how can I laugh and how can I face it? ”

Suddenly, Lao Xu's appearance appeared in her mind, and he smiled while waving at her, and said softly and forcefully: "Xiao Qiong, the more you can't see hope, the harder you have to smile." Because, it doesn't like people with sad faces! ”

Qiu Qiong was stunned and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"Lao Xu, I believe in you, everything will be fine! But you must be safe, and when I find a chance to escape, I will come to you immediately! You have to protect yourself! Wait for me! ”

As the effect of the ** medicine dissipated, the rest of the people woke up one after another, but after taking a look at the current situation, their emotions collapsed and they cried hysterically.

"Mom! I don't want to be cannon fodder! Mom! Come and save me! ”

"Woo! Woo! ”

"Please! Let me out! I can give you as much money as you want! Otherwise, I'll buy you a half-official job!! Don't go! ”

“……”

Who would have thought that these eighteen big men, one crying more grief-stricken than the other, the entire cabin seemed to have turned into a noisy vegetable market, listening to Qiu Qiong's head buzzing.

But at this moment, there was a heavy "rumbling" footstep outside the cabin door, and as it got closer and closer, the cabin became quieter and quieter. After a while, everyone stopped crying, their eyes widened, and they stared at the hatch with bated breath, both apprehensive and frightened.

"It's noisy, I don't want to live anymore, do I!"

In the gradually diffusing red glow, a strong figure appeared, holding an electric baton in one hand and a huge fist in the other, and his body was full of thick and hard muscles, which was really daunting, and he did not dare to look at it again.

Suddenly, there was a vacuum in the cabin, and everyone's breathing became light and heavy.

Just when everyone thought that he was just coming to intimidate them, but unexpectedly, he walked slowly in front of Qiu Qiong, stared coldly at the work cap on her head, suddenly frowned, opened his mouth slightly, and let out a terrifying "hiss" sound, and then gritted his teeth and said: "I never expected it, we met again." ”

Qiu Qiong choked up, although she kept her head down and didn't look at him, but when she looked at his long and wide feet, she could guess that he was Ah Nu, the chief guard of the copper ring, the one who couldn't be provoked.

"Oh, ridiculous. Look at your cowardly appearance now, how majestic and domineering you were before? Hidden? Oh, maybe you don't have to hide it, because you don't have it at all! Pity my useless brother, and your so-called brother, all of whom are affected by you! ”

"Involved?"

Qiu Qiong was stunned, and a cloud of anger suddenly rose in her heart, only to see her gritted her teeth, raised her head suddenly, and her eyes glared at Ah Nu like ice blades. But at the same time, the work cap on her head slid down to her shoulders, and the long hair that was already loosely tied up suddenly spread out, and it turned over three times before it was draped on her back, which was slightly messy.

Ah Nu pursed his lips and sneered, slowly leaned down, faced Qiu Qiong's face, and said in a low voice: "Others believe in you, but I don't believe it." ”
