Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Desert
Desert. Both of these words carry three points of water, but they are the least watery places, and everywhere they reveal the smell of death.
Surviving here is much more difficult than in the rainforest, where the most dangerous thing is the beast that can appear at any time, and here, death does not need a beast.
"It's ...... Desert?" This place, which has always been seen on TV but has never been to in reality, made Bai Maxiao swallow his saliva, as if he was feeling thirsty now.
Tranquility was stunned for a moment and muttered, "This time the school is a bit big." ”
It's really huge, as far as the eye can see, and it reaches the horizon.
Nie Jianfeng looked into the distance and said vigilantly, "I'm afraid this level is very difficult. ”
The two of them followed his gaze, only to see a white object on the golden sand sea in the distance, and if you looked closely, it was a passenger plane from the University of Phoenix, exactly like theirs.
Bai Ma Xiao was stunned, "Mirage?"
Nie Jianfeng looked around and said, "Look around. ”
In the distance in three different directions, a passenger plane was also parked in each of them.
"That's another group. In the desert, there are no bunkers, and it is easy to see other groups. Nie Jianfeng said.
"It's too difficult this time. "Last year, there was plenty of food and water, and the most dangerous thing was just running into cannibals." This time, it is estimated that the problem of food alone will make us eliminated, not to mention that it is difficult for this place to hide from other groups. "I still remember that encounter vividly, but those cannibals were bought by the school, and it won't really hurt them, after all, it's just a game.
Bai Maxiao said somehow, "Why haven't you been eaten?
"You...... Looking for ...... death"
"Okay, let's see what the school has in store for us. Nie Jianfeng stopped the two of them from fighting, and returned to the plane, where there was a storage room in the rear of the plane.
Opening the door, Tranquility and Hakumashi exclaimed "ah" at the same time. I saw that there were a lot of cans, food, pure water, medicines, and shelves in the storage room, and some swords and daggers hung on the wall inside, as well as a few ribbons.
"It doesn't seem to be very difficult, the resources are ready for us. Hakuma Xiao happily picked up a can of water, pried it open and drank it. Just looking at the desert, I felt my mouth was dry.
Ning Jing picked up a can and said excitedly to Nie Jianfeng, "Look, there are also canned sardines, I don't know what it's like to eat sardines in the desert......"
Nie Jianfeng's eyes scanned the storage room, and suddenly found a backpack under the weapon rack, and when he opened it, there was a map and three flashlights inside. When I opened the map, it was a top-down view of the entire desert, and after a general glance, I felt that there seemed to be something behind it, and when I turned it to the back, my expression suddenly became solemn.
Ning Jing looked at Nie Jianfeng, who was very relaxed just now, suddenly changed into this expression, and was a little scared, "What's wrong?" Leaning over to take a look, his face suddenly changed.
"Congratulations to your group for being selected as one of only four lucky groups out of the twelve and receiving water resources, good luck to you. Tranquility finished reading the words on the back with a gloomy face.
Bai Maxiao said strangely, "Isn't it good to be selected as the lucky group?
"Are you really stupid?" scolded.
"There are only four lucky groups, meaning that only four out of twelve groups have resources. Nie Jianfeng's tone was full of worries about the future, and even some fear, "The implication is that we have become the target of everyone." ”
"What do you mean...... They're going to come and grab our water?" Hakubashi seemed to understand what he meant, "Then we'll give them some points." As he spoke, he drank the rest of the water in his hand.
"Only four of the twelve groups have water, and each lucky group must have three groups of water to make the twelve groups use. Although there are many supplies here, the water is far from enough for three groups of people to use for seven days. In other words, there will be groups of people who will not have enough water. You find that no, there is far less water than food in these supplies. ”
Bai Ma Xiao and Tranquility looked at the cans on the shelf, and it was true that the amount of canned water was less than half of the food.
"The three of us have to save this water for seven days, let alone share it with other groups. A person can live up to three days in a state of dehydration, and it is easy to lose water in a desert. Therefore, the key word in this survival game is the competition for water resources. ”
"What's that plan?" Tranquility's face suddenly turned upturned, and her fighting spirit regained in her tone.
Nie Jianfeng looked at the map in his hand, "The rule is to go to a certain place in the desert, and there are signal flares here. He pointed to the red circles on the map, "and then send a signal that a helicopter will come and pick us up, and he made a point of emphasizing that the helicopter can only take a group of people." ”
Bai Maxiao scratched his head, "It's not difficult." Just like last year, just follow the map to your destination and pick up the flare. ”
"It's simple. Tranquility glanced at him, "You can't sneak in the desert, it's like you're moving in an uncovered place, and your every move will be watched by the other teams." They may be attacked at any time along the way, and it is unknown whether they will be able to reach their destination safely. ”
"What are you worried about, don't you say it's important to participate, it's a big deal to quit the game and let them fight for themselves. ”
"That's right. Nie Jianfeng actually agreed, "Anyway, we don't want to win, as long as we don't lose ugly." The plan was this, the map showed that the destination was in the north, and we went south. ”
Hakuba Xiao was confused when he listened, "Why are you going south? Do you want to prove that the earth is round?"
"We went south during the day and turned back north at night, traveling lightly and without much supplies. Don't bring a single can of water. ”
"You want to lure them away, don't you?" Tranquility seemed to understand, "There are a lot of these cans of water, and we will definitely take all such an important resource with us, they will not suspect that we have water when they see that our backpack is so small, and they will think that we are going in the wrong direction when they see us walking south, so that we will be half a day's away from them, as long as we are careful, they will not notice us behind us." And even if we are discovered, as long as we show that we don't have water, the other party may save some energy and let us go. ”
Bai Maxiao was a little uneasy, "You mean, we don't take the water on the road? Just drop the water of a plane, aren't you afraid that they will come and go?"
Tranquility said impatiently: "You use your brains, we have pretended not to be the lucky group, and they should know that we don't have water, so why bother to come to the plane here? ”
"That's right, if there is no opinion, let's do so. Nie Jianfeng obviously didn't mean to ask Bai Maxiao's opinion, "Pick up some weapons and a small amount of food, and let's go." ”
Nie Jianfeng picked a sword and a dagger, as well as a compass and a watch, while Tranquility took a ribbon and a dagger. Bai Maxiao didn't know what to take for a long time, and muttered, "Why don't you get some guns, like AK47 or M4 or something." ”
Tranquility shook her head, "Do you think you're going to war, do you want to give you the code to launch the nuclear bomb?" Do you still want to fight ghosts with guns in the future?"
Bai Maxiao sighed in disappointment, picked up a shield, and thought that this thing was just right for Luo Yong, he looked like a meat shield in the team, and it was okay to hold it for self-protection. Since there is a shield, it is not bad to have a sword, like the European cavalry in the Middle Ages.
Nie Jianfeng stretched out his hand and pressed Bai Maxiao, who was about to take the sword, "Do you know how to use a sword?" If not, it's better to choose a lighter one, be careful of hurting yourself." After saying that, he picked up a dagger and threw it at him.
It's amazing to be able to play with a sword. Bai Maxiao picked up the dagger very unhappily and pulled it out of the sheath, only to feel the cold light dazzling, "This is so sharp, won't it stab people to death?"
"Idiot, this is a special knife, when it touches the human body, the blade will retract and release the anesthetic, and the person who is stabbed will fall asleep, and then the school will send someone to drag you out. ”
"Sounds like just a game. ”
......
"It's just a game. In the huge control room, in front of a wall full of monitors, Fu Jiansheng complained dissatisfiedly, "Why do you induce students to kill each other?"
Principal Long replied with a smile, "This is just an experimental transformation of GSG, it was already experimented at the Ivy League last year, and it worked well. ”
"But students aren't white rats!"
"You know, Professor Fu. The mentors were all gathered in front of the monitoring wall, and only this man sat leisurely on the couch behind them, holding a document full of words in his hand, "My father didn't use the so-called 'white rat' to conduct experiments when he proposed this proposal, our action is to respond quickly, isn't it? Conducting unnecessary experiments on white rats will only waste time and resources." ”
"Professor Gabriel, do you think this is reasonable? Let the students who are completely unprepared ......" Fu Jiansheng obviously had a bad impression of this arrogant "second generation star".
"That's the best choice, isn't it?" Maxson Gabriel looked up, his mature face smeared with unquestionable eyes, and the overall appearance of a youthful and promising temperament.
The genius who graduated from Columbia University at the age of nineteen, published countless papers in both the biological and spiritual worlds, and proposed revolutionary changes at the age of twenty-five when he succeeded his father, William Gabriel. A typical promising young man who is out of blue.
Fu Jiansheng has always felt that he is the white horse of the West, whether it is talent or courage.
"I want you to understand what you're doing. Fu Jiansheng didn't say anything more, and continued to focus on a corner of the surveillance wall.
Jian Feng, Xiao Jing, Bai Ma, I hope you can survive this hurdle.
This GSG is no longer the previous tour, but a real battle for survival.
