rain
All 118 candidates were put into the No. 71 Spirit Mirror, a small island with 35,000 square kilometers.
The island is surrounded by the sea, the sea water is clear and blue, the island is low and flat all around, and the middle is towering, including mountains, hills, platforms, plains, etc., forming a circular layered landform, and the cascade structure is obvious.
This time the exam was also taken with an all-bright map, and the candidates were scattered to all corners of the island.
The duration of the exam is seven days.
In seven days, as long as the average score of the squad candidates reaches 10,000, they can leave the jungle area and go to the highest peak in the center of the island to pull the flag.
Looking at the top of the mountain from where Song Jinqing was standing, the clouds and mist were shrouded, the rain curtain was heavy, and nothing could be seen.
If she had clairvoyance, she would be able to see three flags fluttering, representing the top three.
Unfortunately, no, and the weather at this time did not allow her to think about it.
This is really the worst start since the start of the intercollegiate league. As soon as the people of the Star Sea Jungle Team were teleported into the spirit realm, they were drenched in the torrential rain.
Even through a protective film, the huge and dense rain drops still hurt when they hit the face. You Haicheng instinctively quickly took out the array plate, but unfortunately, everyone didn't have energy stones in their bags.
Jing Xing took out a board from the safe house casting module and held it high.
Everyone quickly got underneath, and the tall boys stretched out their hands to share the weight for Jing Xing.
Song Jinqing wiped the water on her face, "It's good that it's not acid rain, otherwise everyone will be finished." ”
"The composition of rainwater is unknown, so it should not be taken lightly. Try not to get caught in the rain. "This is Spirit Mirror No. 71, but the orange is dangerous, and you can't let your guard down at all. Jing Xing motioned for everyone to lean in the middle, trying to ensure that they were not exposed to the rain.
"That's right, this rain is a bit strange, so everyone should be careful." Xie He made a rough probe and found that the composition of the rain was different from any place in the Xuanjing. Although the danger is unknown for the time being, it is better to be careful.
You Haicheng quickly analyzes the route.
"This rain is falling too hard, and I don't know when it will stop, so let's try to go as high as possible to avoid flash floods." You Haicheng chose a high point on the map, and everyone had no opinion, so they headed for the high point.
Because of the board, everyone had to keep the same pace. This makes walking very difficult and slow. After heavy rain, the ground was muddy and slippery. For candidates whose physique is not so outstanding, the environment is really very unfriendly.
Four boys are in the four corners, and two girls are in the middle. Ling Cai stumbled and walked, most of her body was almost pressed against Song Jinqing's body, she didn't want to do this, but she had fallen several times before, seriously slowing down everyone's travel speed. In the end, we had to rely on borrowing force to maintain balance and speed.
On the way, Xie Yu accidentally tripped and fell. You Haicheng tripped once and slipped twice.
One of them was when Xie Youxian accidentally fell, and even brought You Haicheng down, seeing that the board was about to fall down, it was Song Jinqing's eyes that quickly withstood it.
It's just too hard to walk.
Everyone's physical exertion is enormous. Fortunately, Ling Cai was there, and several healing lights were released in the middle to relieve everyone's fatigue.
Although Ling Cai is tired, most of the tiredness is due to physical reasons, and it is due to physical exhaustion. In terms of mental strength, it is okay, with the brooch given by Song Jinqing, I don't feel reluctant.
The time of the No. 71 Spirit Mirror is also a little longer than that of the Xuanjing, and coupled with the bad weather and arduous trekking, the time passes even more slowly.
When everyone finally walked to a slightly higher place, found a relatively flat boulder and stood to rest, thinking that several hours had passed, but when they looked at the time, the game had only started for more than half an hour.
"I'm obedient, I've got to be in the mirror for half an hour." The wet clothes were very uncomfortable sticking to his body, and Xie Yu was uncomfortable and wanted to tear them off.
But in reality, it was less than two hours.
Another troublesome thing is that the protective film that comes with everyone's body is about to expire. In order to protect the candidates, when the candidates enter the spirit mirror, they have 1 hour to protect them. Although this hour is not invincible, it is very effective in avoiding most natural disasters.
You Haicheng and Jingxing observe their surroundings.
They were lucky, and a few protective suits were found in the package. But you have to find a place for everyone to change into protective clothing.
"It's not a way to find a way." Jing Xing motioned for Xie He to come in his direction a little so that everyone could hold up the board in a triangle.
"I'll go ahead and find my way."
In the absence of any knowledge of the surrounding environment, it is obviously extremely dangerous to act alone. But there is really no better way at the moment, and continuing to walk with a boring head will only consume everyone's physical strength.
At Jingxing's insistence, everyone could only compromise.
"You put on your protective suit first." You Haicheng makes the final request, this is the bottom line.
Everyone turned their backs to Jing Xing, and in this environment, it was somewhat difficult to change clothes, and it took Jing Xing five minutes to put on the protective clothing.
What followed was a nervous wait.
Everyone observed the surrounding environment with trepidation, and You Haicheng raced against time to analyze the map, and after more than half an hour, Jing Xing returned.
He looked okay, though he was even more embarrassed by the rain.
"There was a sloping cliff in front of it, leeward, and a huge rock protruding. You can camp under the rocks. ”
Now they were very tired, but everyone cheered up and headed towards the place Jingxing said.
……
A red stone cliff appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the stone wall was really sloping, and the bottom protruded into the top, which also created a natural opening, and there was a section of the stone protruding above, which made the area below shaded even larger.
Let's take a few quick steps and walk to the bottom of the stone wall.
The ground is a whole piece of stone, dry.
The boys carefully put down the wooden planks they were holding, mainly because they had been holding for too long and their arms had become stiff.
Ling Cai stepped forward to treat everyone one by one, and Xie He grinned and rubbed his arm.
After resting for a while, I had the strength to build a safe house, and when the safe house was built, although it was not as good as the small forest cottage I had lived in before, only the four walls of the house, but there was also a separate two-bedroom and a living room, and the boys and girls could change their clothes separately.
After tidying up, the new problem everyone faces is hunger.
The package containing the food is still there, but this time it is only a low-grade nutrient solution, and the quantity is limited.
And this is already the best that everyone can grab when they work together.
Song Jinqing grabbed a package in the middle, and there was only a tube of nutrient solution in it, which was simply heartbroken.
Xie He got this one, and there are still 20 of them.
But 20 sticks are not enough to eat, that's for sure. A single low-grade nutrient solution can generally ensure the energy consumption of an ordinary person for a whole day, but none of you here are ordinary people.
Excessive physical strength and mental energy exertion, even two sticks a day are half-full.
"If this rain doesn't stop, there will be no way to collect supplies. Along the way, I didn't see any strange beasts, and I didn't see anything to collect. Jiang Cong anxiously looked at the pouring rain outside the window, and thanked him on the side, using the most simple tools he could find to do complex rainwater composition analysis.
"Each of us still has 10,000 points to do." The collapsed Ling Cai sat on the bare wall, and there was not even a chair in the safe house, so everyone could only sit on the ground.
There were no sleeping bags in the supplies they stood. When I sleep at night, I guess I have to sleep on a bare wooden plank.
Ling Cai lamented, along the way, the light followed Song Jinqing to enjoy happiness. This exam was really the saddest one she had ever taken.
