Chapter 9 Mountains and Forests
Qin Ming and Yi Shaodong chatted and waited, nothing more than relying on nonsense to pass the time.
After waiting for more than an hour, the others woke up from their dreams one after another.
Because the dream is forgotten when it wakes up, no one can say exactly what happened in the nightmare, even though everyone knows that they had a long nightmare.
And the reason why they will all fall into a nightmare is different for everyone.
Some think that the school is doing things for their breakfast. Psychotropic drugs that can cause drowsiness have been added.
There are also those who believe that the school uses some kind of military virtual VR technology.
It is also the theory that they were hypnotized.
However, although everyone has different opinions about why they fell into the dream, there is surprisingly unanimous opinion on the meaning of the dream's existence.
They all believe that the "nightmare" that plagued them before was part of the entrance test.
That is, the first level of the test.
As for the specific aspects of them, it is likely to be the mind and the ability to judge.
After all, the dreams that everyone encounters are extremely real, and if you don't have a firm mind and accurate judgment, then there is a chance that you won't wake up.
In fact, not all of them left the dream.
There are two other people, and they still have no intention of waking up.
But most of the people who woke up were already impatient.
After all, this is an exam with rankings and rewards, and strictly speaking, they are all competitors.
The number of people who woke up before was small, and some people were willing to wait a little longer out of caution, but as more and more people were awake, naturally no one was willing to wait any longer.
"So many of us are awake, isn't it time to move on?
If a few of them sleep for a few more days, are we going to keep waiting? ”
Liu Bingtao was the sixth of the people to wake up, and he kept yelling to leave after waking up.
Maybe he always spoke with an uncomfortable commanding tone, so no one was birding him.
And he himself didn't dare to go into the forest alone, so he was always very unhappy in his heart.
However, this time, his proposal was approved by everyone.
"Then let's go."
Qin Ming, Yi Shaodong and the others also patted their buttocks and stood up at this time, nodding symbolically in agreement.
Because three people did not wake up, only eight people remained in the eleven-person candidate team.
The nine of them walked into the mountains and forests in front of them, chatting about the test.
are speculating about how the second level of this test will be presented.
After all, the dream test of the first level was beyond everyone's expectations.
"You say this second level, shouldn't it be for us to survive in the wilderness?
Do you guys have a lighter on them? ”
Hu Haibin didn't know what he thought, not only rummaging up and down on himself, but also not forgetting to urge others.
"I have a lighter, do you have a cigarette?"
Yi Shaodong took out a very metallic Zippo from his pocket, and then shook his hand handsomely, and a flame ignited on the lighter.
"I don't smoke. I think if the second level is really similar to survival in the wilderness.
With a lighter on our body, we can make a fire and cook. ”
Hearing Hu Haibin's words, everyone couldn't help laughing.
"It's not what you're laughing at.
It's really very likely that the school is going to do so, otherwise why would they leave us here in the middle of nowhere?
Besides, what else is a test of people's will and character more than survival? ”
Hu Haibin was a little excited, obviously feeling that he was not wrong.
"Steady, don't get so excited. I don't know what the hell is going on, so I'll have to walk ahead and see.
So anything is possible. ”
Liu Bingtao smiled and said to Hu Haibin in a somewhat pretentious manner.
"By the way, did you see a drone, or a camera or anything like that?"
Toyotomi asked suddenly.
"I don't see it."
"I didn't see it either."
"Probably not. It's so dark here, if there is really surveillance, you should be able to see infrared lights. ”
At this time, everyone stopped and began to search the surroundings carefully.
Nothing was found, though.
"Since the school has such a special entrance exam, there should be something to monitor in real time as an examination room.
Otherwise, how would they know how we're doing here?
You can't just look at the end result, right? ”
The person who expressed his doubts this time became Gu Tianlai, who spoke a little sissy.
"Maybe what the school wants is the end result.
It's like a running race, no matter how fast you run in the middle, it doesn't depend on who gets to the finish line first.
If there are a lot of people who reach the finish line, then the score is determined by the time. ”
Liu Bingtao thought for a while and replied.
Hearing that the final evaluation results may also be related to the length of time for customs clearance, Toyotomi couldn't help but be a little anxious, and hurriedly urged:
"Then what are we rubbing about, let's go quickly.
It's been a day since the test.
In other exam rooms, maybe all of them have been completed. ”
In Toyotomi's view, this entrance test is just like an ordinary test, the only difference is that the form has changed.
Therefore, he thinks that the vast majority of people in this test can pass smoothly, so speed is the key to determining the ranking.
Being surrounded by Liu Bingtao and Toyotomi, everyone was originally a little slow, but it was obviously much faster.
After all, students don't just want to pass, and it can be said that on this basis, they are also very concerned about their rankings.
Everyone wants to be the best of the best.
Everyone quickened their pace, chatting with topics as they walked.
In the process, some people always pay attention to their surroundings, some people talk loudly, and some people just worry about hurrying away.
Qin Ming belongs to the first type of person.
As he walked, he was vigilantly watching his surroundings.
In fact, they've been in the forest for a while.
The sound of the wind was still loud, blowing trees and grinning.
It sounds like someone is walking through the woods at breakneck speed.
Qin Ming's face was a little ugly, and he looked at the trees here.
These trees are tall and big are big.
But the shape is quite weird.
Because each tree doesn't know if it's too luxuriant, or because no one has repaired it, it's all irregular in shape.
Some trees are close to the ground, some are crooked necks, and many look like giants standing in the darkness from a distance.
The branches were thick, the crown was raised, and it swayed in the wind like a woman's long hair.
It's terrifying to look at.
Of course, the most terrifying thing is still unknown.
The unknown of the location, the unknown of the road ahead, and the unknown of the content of the school's checkpoint assessment.
At first, the students were able to talk and laugh.
But as time passed, as their physical strength gradually dried up, finally no one wasted their physical strength to say anything.
Because I turned on the flashlight and shone it as far away as possible, all I could see was those strange-shaped trees.
and the fog in the sky that never went away.
The people walked and stopped, because they had neither water nor food, so they were all sleepy and hungry.
Many people began to complain about the perversion of school tests.
Most of them agree with Hu Haibin's conjecture about this second level test.
I think it's really a wilderness survival.
"No, I really can't walk, I need to rest...... It's so TM tired. ”
Gu Tianlai didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, he sat directly on the ground and began to shout at the person walking in front to stop.
Hearing Gu Tianlai's shout, the people in front also stopped.
They all began to find a place to sit and rest.
In fact, this is the fifth time they have taken a break in one hour.
And this frequency will become even higher in the future.
"I'm starving, how long have you been here?
It's been almost 10 hours, right?
Haven't even left this damn forest yet! ”
Yi Shaodong's stomach screamed so badly that even Qin Ming could hear it.
Qin Ming was also hungry and sleepy, and he also noticed something that made him feel very strange.
That is, the sky overhead, shrouded in thick fog, was still as gloomy as before.
You must know that the time is not at night, but at noon, even if the sky is overcast, it will not be dark like this.
And since they decided to enter this mountain forest, the uneasiness in his heart has not subsided, but has intensified.
This undoubtedly reminded him that this seemingly endless forest is very problematic.
"Don't you have a lighter? You can roast a tree root and eat it. ”
Qin Ming saw that Yi Shaodong was so hungry that he completely collapsed on the ground, and couldn't help but tease.
"Then you might as well let me eat.
No more...... What are you talking about...... You don't have paper, I can't hold it anymore. ”
Yi Shaodong was shouting hungry one second ago, but he was about to pull his pants the next second.
Qin Ming had a pack of tissues in his pocket, and he wanted to keep two for himself, but they were all snatched away by Yi Shaodong.
"It's not that there are girls over there, do you dare to get away from it."
Seeing that Yi Shaodong was about to take off his pants when he found a random place, Qin Ming hurriedly stopped.
"I'm not afraid of being looked at by them, you're afraid of a fart.
Oops...... I'm starving...... starved to death ......"
Yi Shaodong shouted that he was hungry, and he was cool at the same time, and Qin Ming hurriedly walked away in disgust.
"There are still people here, why are you so unqualified. Annoying! ”
Gu Tianlai was sitting not far from Yi Shaodong's, and at first he just heard the sound of a fart, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and after listening to it for a while, he realized that something was wrong.
When he turned around, he saw Yi Shaodong squatting there, and he almost didn't vomit nausea.
"It's not that you walk slowly, don't step on it again." Yi Shaodong said angrily in the back.
"It's disgusting, defecating in the open."
Gu Tian walked to the side, and then rested on a tree with some unhappiness.
Just when he moved his body and inadvertently tilted his head up, he saw a little vaguely that on the top of his head, it seemed to be ......
It looks like there's a face staring at him!
