"Tomie, I'm sorry!"

Zhang Chen stood under the shower and sighed slightly, then put on the clean clothes he had prepared and left the bathroom.

The two-month journey was too exhausting, and on the way back, without the guidance of Ji Chong, Zhang Chen returned along the same path and fell into five different dangers, which was really something Zhang Chen never expected.

One of the most dangerous dangers was located in a swamp quagmire, the quagmire was extremely corrosive, the entire swamp did not have any plants to cling to, and there were a large number of swamp creatures lurking in the swamp that could create illusions, which made Zhang Chen delay for fifteen days.

Zhang Chen returned to his small home in the Shenhou Mansion and lay on the bed and fell asleep.

…………

Early in the morning of the second day

Insect Firefly had already heard the news and rushed there, pacing and wandering outside the door of Zhang Chen's room, who was sleeping soundly. And even Yu Xin didn't want to step forward and knock on the door considering Zhang Chen's fatigue, after all, there were still two hours before the start of today's qualifiers.

"Xin'er, let's go make breakfast, Miss Worm Firefly don't be impatient, since Zhang Chen has come safely, why not wait a little longer."

"Well...... I'm going to help make breakfast. ”

After a while, the two women had prepared a hearty breakfast and sat around the round table in the hall on the first floor. Worm Firefly still looked at the room where Zhang Chen was from time to time.

"Miss Worm Firefly, Wu Lao is your master, I am afraid that there are only three people in our Huaxia National Prison Envoy who have such treatment. Where are you going to engrave your name on the list this time? Shen Hou asked.

"Try to be in the top 20." Firefly smiled slightly.

"Well, when Zhang Chen comes down, I'll tell the three of you about the experience of the 100-person list competition later." Shen Hou drank the porridge and nodded again and again, very satisfied with this breakfast.

"Huh?! Firefly, you're here? ”

At this time, Zhang Chen's voice came. Hurry to the table where everyone is and sit down.

Insect Firefly's anxious mood turned into nothing in the moment when she saw Zhang Chen, but although Zhang Chen's body was covered by clothes, it looked a lot thinner than a year ago. The dark and translucent eyes of the insect firefly kept staring at Zhang Chen, and he couldn't stop talking, and he couldn't ask the question in his heart.

"Brother Zhang Chen's feeling is not the same as before, he used to be very conspicuous wherever he walked. Now the whole person looks a little inconspicuous. ”

"I'm sorry to sleep late......"

Zhang Chen explained as he poured the porridge in front of him into his mouth. A plate of six large meat buns was also in the blink of an eye, and only one empty plate was left to shake on the table.

"I'll do it a little more, Worm Firefly girl, you wait here, I'm moving fast."

Lian Yuxin got up again and went to the kitchen, and Zhang Chen still felt a little embarrassed when he poured several large bowls of porridge into his mouth.

"Those things in prison are so unpalatable, hehe."

Zhang Chen came back all the way back eating plants and animals native to the prison, which were not acceptable to ordinary people at all. Due to the lack of water, the overall water carrying capacity of the plant is less than 1%, and the green vines look like eating sand when they bite into it.

And meat is Zhang Chen's nightmare. Zhang Chen also tried to roast it before eating, but who knew that the meat would be as stiff as a stone, and it didn't have the taste of meat food on the earth.

Not only that, but when it comes to crushing the hard flesh of these animals, there is a large disgusting fishy smell and stench inside. Later, Zhang Chen found that if he didn't need to roast it over the fire and eat it raw, the disgusting taste was not so strong.

"Zhang Chen. Just come back. Shen Hou smiled.

"Let me worry you a lot, Master, if it weren't for the limited time. I also want to spend more time in prison. I will discuss the details with you in the future, Master. Zhang Chen's words became concise and simple, and his words were soft and comfortable, giving people a different feeling.

"Brother Zhang Chen, are you alright......" Worm asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, you've suffered a lot this year, have you?" Zhang Chen looked at the insect firefly in his eyes, which seemed to be able to understand a qiē.

…………

After the meal, Shen Hou personally led the three of them to the preliminaries.

"The preliminaries were held on the ** savannah. When the time comes, you will be divided into groups when you enter the preliminaries. Half of the preliminaries will be eliminated, but each will have three chances to fight. As long as you keep two wins, you will be able to pass the qualifiers, so there are some lessons to be learned. ”

"The people who participated in the preliminaries were not the prison directors on the last 100 people list, but there must be extremely powerful characters among them. Just like Worm Firefly, Master is the other two newcomers to the rank of Prison Captain. ”

Zhang Chen and the others naturally listened to the explanation very carefully.

"It's just that the warden's message is extremely secretive. I don't know the names of these two newcomers, so the three of you must learn to read words and looks. Once you have concluded that the opponent's strength is unfathomable, you can choose to give up a chance on your own, so as not to waste unnecessary strength and bring damage to your body. ”

"In addition, a talented newcomer like Zhang Chen will save every game. So don't get too caught up in the crowd and don't get too caught up in the crowd before moving on to the final game. ”

"Got it, Master." Zhang Chen immediately nodded in response, even Yu Xin and Worm Firefly were the same.

"There's still an hour to go."

Shen Hou took the three of them to take a huge airship to suspend near the border between the ** prairie and the Great Xing'an Mountains, and there was a huge white rectangular venue below, surrounded by enchantments, which ordinary people could not approach and observe.

"There is still some time, you are participating in the ranking of the 100 people list for the first time, and Xin'er has asked me often on weekdays for the whole process. However, Zhang Chen, the two of you may not be very clear, so I will explain to you in detail, there are some places that you need to pay more attention to, after all, the game is not completely fair. ”

"The number of participants in this competition was 618, and after the preliminaries, only 309 people were left to advance to the next round. The next round of screening will retain the strongest 100 people, and these 100 people are called 'challengers', but this is not the final link. ”

"The 100 'challengers' will compete with the 80 prison directors after the 20 in the previous session for the bottom 80 on the 100 list. You'll all have a few days to fix it before that, and then someone will have the rules detailed for you. Let's get through the first two games......"

"Well, what about after the end of the competition for the last eighty places? How does the competition work? Zhang Chen asked.

"It's called the final 'battle to ascend to the sky', and the new post-80 prison directors challenge the top 20 prison directors of the previous term to get the chance to be in the top 20. The specific rules of the challenge change every time, and it is natural that the time will tell. ”

"Alright, you can go to the preliminaries venue now to see if there are any newcomers worth noting. As a teacher, I won't go down here, otherwise I will be called a bully by a few other old guys. ”

Zhang Chen and the three of them nodded one after another, and fell from the airship to the door of the venue.

The huge venue is enough to accommodate 10,000 people, let alone only accommodate more than 100 participating prison officers. Among the three Zhang Chen, only Worm Ying is a first-level prison director, and even Yu Xin and Zhang Chen are second-level prison directors. Combinations like Zhang and Chen abound here, and most of them had already entered the venue early.

The three of them entered the venue one after another from the entrance of the venue with the number plate, and sure enough, as mentioned earlier, the group number appeared on the number plate.

"B-07" is displayed in the hand of the firefly.

"E-65" is displayed by the brand in Lian Yuxin's hand.

"Mine is G-12," Zhang Chen looked at his silicone grade, "the last group?" ”

The venue is divided from left to right, with a total of seven groups from A to G. What makes Zhang Chen feel good is that the groups of the three of them are very separated, and they may not be separated in the next round of trials.

"Senior Sister Yuxin, Worm Firefly, be careful. Let's meet here after that. ”

The three of them are separated here, Zhang Chen walked towards the innermost G area step by step, and most of the prison directors who participated in the competition here had a humble heart. Along the way, many people greeted Zhang Chen, after all, everyone could become each other's opponents.

"Sir, please show your number plate!" At the entrance of Area G, a woman in a cheongsam said with a smile.

Zhang Chen noticed that when he handed the G-12 number plate to the other party, a trace of abnormality flashed in the woman's eyes, but the change in her expression was so rapid that ordinary people could not notice it at all.

"Sir, please put away your qualification number plate, you can rest in the waiting area before the start of the qualifiers, there are all kinds of food and drinks provided for free."

Zhang Chen nodded and walked towards the waiting area where the other party went.

Not long after Zhang Chen left, the reception woman at the door was replaced by another person, who seemed to have completed a certain task, stepping on high heels and walking towards a corner of the G area.

The whole process was completely in his own eyes.

Because the competition area has not yet opened, all the contestants in the G area are waiting here, a total of 88 people.

When Zhang Chen walked into the waiting area, his eyes did not stay on anyone inside, but just found a corner and sat down alone, waiting for the game to start.

Five minutes before the start of the preliminaries, the waiting area will start broadcasting announcements.

"Prison masters, according to the number of the cards in your hands. Decide your three opponents in the preliminaries in the following order, see the center screen for details. The competition will be played in four groups at a time, and those who have not played should wait in the waiting area, and the center screen will broadcast the four groups of battles for you in real time. ”

Zhang Chen raised his head and looked at the grouping of the three-dimensional screen in the center.

"No. 12, No. 32, No. 52, No. 72. It's just that I didn't expect to win the jackpot at the beginning, and Master's experience is really useful. ”

Zhang Chen sat quietly in his place and waited for the preliminaries to begin...... (To be continued......)
