Chapter 16: Pierce you, pierce you

Ebetsu used to live in a four-person dormitory at the school, along with the other boys in the class. But now that everyone is dead, it's a single room.

Instead of sending him back to the dormitory, the teacher took him to his home.

The room was not big, it was pitch black inside, and the teacher took out a flashlight from the cupboard at the door and turned it on, the flashlight was already a little broken, and the light flickered a few times before it barely stabilized.

Power rationing at the base. There is only one power plant in the entire base, and there is not enough electricity. So residential areas only have electricity from 6 to 8 a.m. and from 5 to 9 p.m.

It's already past one o'clock in the morning, and the electricity here has long been cut off.

Jiang Bei looked around by the light of the flashlight, the house was not big, there was only one bedroom. The living room is small, with a long wooden table in the middle, surrounded by several simple fabric sofas.

The teacher took out an egg from the woven bag by the window, turned on the gas stove and made a bowl of hot poached egg noodles and brought it to Jiang Bei: "Eat, go to bed after eating, don't think about today's things anymore." ”

He didn't ask about the copy, obviously because he didn't want Jiang Bei to recall the terrifying ten hours.

After eating the noodles, the teacher pushed him into the room: "Let's get a good night's sleep." ”

Then he closed the door without saying anything, and Jiang Bei stood at the door for about half a minute, when he heard a long sigh outside.

The bedroom has a single bed, a bedside table and a large wardrobe, nothing else of value, and the only decoration in the room is a picture frame hanging on the wall with a large group photo.

Jiang Bei walked over and took advantage of the moonlight to see the people in the photo, it was him and his classmates.

Now the people above are basically gone, and in the end there is not even a grave, and there is no place to burn paper money for them.

It's different from the class photos in the previous world.

On the day of the photo, everyone wore their best clothes, the colors were not uniform, the standing position was not neat, everyone was crowded together and posed whatever they wanted, and the only thing that was the same in the group photo was that everyone had a bright smile on their faces.

The teacher was among them, and he was pushed to the back of the students and was trying to tiptoe to reveal half of his bald head.

Jiang Bei also found himself in the group photo, this face looked the same as his previous life, but his expression was much more wooden and dumb, but there was also a real smile on his face.

Seeing the familiar face making such an unfamiliar expression, Jiang Bei felt a little strange.

So much so that when he went to bed, he still thought about his smiling face in the photo.

Sleepiness is gradually coming, and it would be funny if I woke up tomorrow and found myself still in the toilet, and everything was a dream today. Jiang Bei thought so before going to bed.

But as soon as he opened his eyes the next day, he saw Chen Ersan's face hanging above his head, and he tightened the quilt peacefully, it seemed that yesterday's events were not a dream.

"You're awake." Chen Ersan sat on the edge of the bed, her face was still a little pale but her mood was much better.

"Hmm......" Jiang Bei sat up slowly, fortunately he didn't like to sleep naked, otherwise the scene would be embarrassing now.

"When did you come back?" He remembered that Chen Ersan had spent the night in the hospital last night.

"This morning," Chen Ersan turned his head to look out the window, "This morning, the Information Integration Department called the hospital to learn about the situation in the copy with me, and by the way, I confirmed my mental state, and helped me notify the teacher after confirming that there was no problem." ”

"They also told me that only three students have left the copy alive so far, so the ratings for the three of us should be out today. If nothing else, it will be time for us to move into the military quarters soon. Speaking of this, Chen Ersan was silent for a long time, "During the exam, I was still worried about what team I would be assigned to, I didn't expect this kind of accident in the exam room, and I didn't expect that only the two of us in our class would come out alive in the end......"

All students will be assigned to the military district after the college entrance examination, and will be assigned to different teams to perform duplicate tasks according to their ratings.

Of course, not all adults will enter the military district, and there are also technical talents who will enter other departments. This kind of person generally shows talent when he is a child, and is taken away from school for special training, without going to school, without exams, and without entering a copy.

People like Jiang Bei and them who have no talent can only wait for the military region to take them in, which is really the same fate.

If the people of the military region can live to the age of 28, they can retire and no longer enter the dungeon, and the base will arrange other civilian jobs with little skill, such as being a teacher, sweeping the streets, and so on.

Retiring at the age of 28 is somewhat outrageous, but in such a high-risk environment, very few people can live to 28, and some civilian jobs are part-time by people under retirement age in military regions.

Graduates who don't have any special skills can really not want to enter the military area, but if they don't enter the military area, the base will not arrange other jobs, and these people can't make money, and most of them have become "underground workers"

It is the "selling body" that the teacher once suggested to him

Of course, there is also a premise for doing this business, so you have to look good first, otherwise it will be in vain.

You can also find a capable object to support yourself, and eat all the objects if you don't work. But this also has a disadvantage, that is, it is easy to become a widow and have to find someone else to support. You must know that the mortality rate in the base is not low, and it is common to change three or four objects a month, and in the long run, it is not much different from selling yourself.

"After moving into the military area, it may not be long before I have to enter the dungeon again." Chen Ersan didn't know that Jiang Bei was thinking about the widow, she looked at the group photo on the wall, "I don't know what will happen to us next time." ”

Jiang Bei is not afraid to enter the dungeon, although the military region is dangerous, he will give money for the dungeon. It is the place where the most money is made in the whole base. In the previous world, he had enough of the suffering of the wrong major, and finally crossed over to a world of professional counterpart, of course, he couldn't waste his superior conditions.

When the time comes, he might be able to blow up the ghost everywhere when he bombs the whole grenade.

But the base doesn't seem to make grenades......

"By the way, the ground survey team is counting resources in the amusement park, do you want to go and have a look?" Seeing that Jiang Bei had not spoken, Chen Ersan thought that he was still depressed, so he proposed to go to the amusement park to have a look, "The traces we left in the copy will not disappear, there may be things left by other classmates there." ”

It's okay to check it out, it's fine now anyway.

The teacher was not at home, but the bike stayed. Jiang Bei got on his bicycle and drove Chen Ersan in the direction of the amusement park, and it didn't take long to arrive.

There are still a large number of people here, and the liaison officer from last night is still there, his voice is already hoarse at this time, and it is also dark now, obviously he hasn't slept all night.

"As of 8:52 a.m. today, eight of the nine emergency copies in the examination room in the North District have not been cleared, of which the moderately polluted copies in the 16 examination rooms have been expanded three times, the first three groups of people are suspected to have all died, and the fourth batch of personnel has entered the ...... of three hours and fifty-eight minutes."

"The situation here is not bad, I heard that the area of the eastern railway line has expanded even more, and it will soon spread to the railway." Chen Ersan said in the back.

"Huh? You guys...... I remember you, were you students who came out of this copy yesterday? As soon as she finished speaking, a man's voice came from the side.

Jiang Bei turned his head to look and saw a young man in the uniform of the military region looking at them.

"Yes, we want to see if there are any classmates left." Chen Ersan nodded.

"Yes, yes, over here." Hearing this, the young man immediately led the two people to a large cardboard box not far away, "It's all inside, we put each thing in a transparent bag separately, and there is a piece of paper inside to record the location of the thing." But only half of this paradise was left, and we only found this half of the area. ”

The area inside the dungeon is not the same as the area on the outside, and some dungeons are only the size of a house from the outside, but there is a whole mountain when they enter. When you clear the customs, you can't come out of the whole mountain, and you can only leave a landform the size of a house.

Only half of the amusement park remained, the haunted half of the house remained, and the clock tower was left.

Jiang Bei reached out and picked up a small transparent bag in the box, inside was a photograph of a wall, and there were several lines of small characters written on the wall.

"If I die here, I hope someone will see my last message......"

It's the last words.

Jiang Bei didn't continue to look down, but went to observe the other things in the box.

There was everything, from shoes that were thrown away in a panic when they ran away, to coats that were half wet with blood.

Soon, Jiang Bei found a familiar thing inside, a beautiful iron brooch, which belonged to Zhao Yiyao. The size of an egg, he picked it up and checked it, and the weight was not light. He threw it lightly on the ground, the same crisp sound he heard when he prying the crane machine.

Then look at the paper in the bag that records the location of the item - found halfway between the bell tower and the haunted house.

It's her.

It was she who reminded herself on the bell tower.

Chen Ersan also recognized the brooch in Jiang Bei's hand: "This is...... Zhao Yiyao's mother left it for her. By the way, do you remember the girl who came out with us yesterday? ”

"Yes." Jiang Bei nodded.

"It's Zhao Tianran."

Jiang Bei was stunned, Zhao Yiyao's sister.
