[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 39 [English]
by☆, No. 39 Small Pill Box
You Huo and Qin Jiu got into the cave one after another, and everyone inside looked over.
Although the sky was gloomy and it was already evening, the cave was not dark.
Several kerosene lamps were placed on the ground, casting a circle of light around which figures sat.
Youhuo glanced around.
The people sitting around were both men and women, and except for a few middle-aged people, they were all young faces.
Unlike the others who had just carried people out, they did not wear uniform clothing. They had down jackets, jackets, coats, sweaters, etc. There was even one wearing a white coat.
A rough count of about thirty should be the other 17 groups of candidates.
Just next to the white coat, You Huo saw an acquaintance——
Shu Xue waved to them with bright eyes, patted the empty space next to her, and motioned for them to come over.
Youhuo nodded and was about to go over, but Qin Zhu said, “Wait a moment.”
Then in full view of everyone, he brought in a suitcase from outside the cave.
“…”
The candidates went crazy.
The buzz of discussion instantly exploded.
One candidate didn’t suppress his voice, and his voice was particularly clear: “…Did you get pulled over on a business trip? It’s been three rounds of exams and you still have a suitcase, no wonder you’re second to last!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly became quiet.
They arrived early and introduced themselves, so they knew each other well.So as soon as Youhuo and Qin Ju came in, everyone in the cave knew that the person who wanted to kill someone was coming.
But it’s okay to think about it in my mind, but it’s embarrassing to say it out loud.
Especially when the two parties were passing by, it was really embarrassing and suffocating.
The person who leaked the information was a very young boy, probably similar to Yu Wen, who had a slightly curly perm.
He lowered his head and coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and quietly said to his companion: “It’s over, I’m so excited…”
Unexpectedly, Youhuo didn’t seem to hear it.
Qin Zhu, who was one step behind he, thought it was quite interesting and smiled.
Shu Xue whispered: “I was scared to death. I thought I couldn’t follow you! I was very happy just when I saw the list came out.”
“Oh?” Qin Zhu joked: “My teammate is very unhappy, look at his green face.”
Youhuo: “…”
“By the way, let me introduce, this is my companion.” Shu Xue pointed to the woman in a white coat next to her, “Her name is Wu Li, and she is a brain doctor. You should have seen her in the rankings. She is very powerful.”
Youhuo’s eyes fell on the white coat again.
Wu Li has a plain face and a slim figure, giving people a clean impression in this chaotic environment.
The only thing that didn’t fit in was her hair, which was short and messy, as if it had been cut temporarily.
Youhuo just glanced at it without looking at it.
Wu Li is not a lively and enthusiastic person, nor is she good at chatting. When she stares at people, she gives people a sense of serious inquiry.
She looked at You Huo for a moment with this probing look, and then looked at Qin Zhu for a moment, nodded and said, “Hello.”
After saying that, he looked away without waiting for the two of them to return the favor.

Shu Xue was a little panicked when she thought about their rankings: “By the way, did you hear the exam rules just announced?”
Qin Jiu: “It’s very clear.”
“You should have seen the people who were carried out, right?” Shu Xue’s face was not very good, sad and worried: “They are all crew members, eight in total…”
This represents 0 o’clock in a few hours. If the ranking does not change, the group at the end will suffer first.
Shu Xue quietly introduced a circle of people present.
Not far away from them, the two unfortunate men named Chen Fei and Huang Rui were in a daze for a long time.
What is surprising is that the young grandma Hui and his whispering companion are now ranked first, with a total score of 42.
Grandma Hui’s name is Di Li. It is said that she has just turned 18, just like Yu Wen.
•
There is also a ranking of candidates on the stone wall inside the cave.
Youhuo looked away from there and suddenly asked: “Where are the people?”
Shu Xue was stunned: “Huh?”
“Captain’s crew, those on merchant ships.”
“They’re all in there.” Shu Xue pointed behind her.
You Huo looked in the direction of her finger.
They just noticed that there is a hole there, connected to another space.
A fire was lit inside, and the stone walls shone with light.
But it could be seen that the fire was very weak, as if it might go out at any time.
“It’s more sheltered from the wind, the place is smaller, and it’s a little warmer.” Shu Xue said, “The captain and crew are all here. We counted them before you came. There are 36 people in total, which is exactly the same as our number. Now… there are only 28 people left.”
“What happened to the eight people who died? Were they injured or hungry?” Youhuo asked.
“I just asked the crew, these are all reasons, they are cold and hungry, and these guys have been sick,” Shu Xue said.
“The temperature here is too low and too cold. If the body temperature cannot be guaranteed, we must rely on food to make up for it. But they have limited food. They are hungry every day and their resistance is reduced.” One candidate analyzed.
“In other words, to ensure that they survive until they return home, we need to find fire first and then food?”
“Yes.”
“No, let’s find medicine first.”
Wu Li suddenly spoke.
“Huh?”
Wu Li said: “There are wounds on the crew members, caused by wild beast attacks.”
Shu Xue exclaimed in a low voice: “What? Are there still wild beasts here?”
Everyone looked at the cave entrance warily.
“I don’t know.” Wu Li said sternly: “But the few who died must have been infected. They were cold and hungry, and their wounds have not recovered for a long time. The remaining crew members are about the same, and none of them can survive myrrh.”
The white coat on her body strengthens the persuasiveness of these words.
Everyone looked at each other and slumped: “I can think of something to do with fire and food, but where can I find medicine?”
Grandma Huidili suddenly said: “There is it in the merchant ship.”
Everyone was stunned: “What?”
Di Li said: “Between 1596 and 1998, a Dutch captain… called Barents if I remember correctly, was trapped in an area in the Arctic Circle. The captain and his crew, a total of 18 people, survived on the isolated island for 8 months, obtaining food by hunting, and the fur could be used as clothing. When the fuel was used up, the deck of the ship was dismantled to make a fire to maintain body temperature. It is said that the cargo contained food, clothes and medicine, but heThey didn’t touch it.In the end, a total of 8 crew members died, and finally the cargo was delivered to its destination intact in the spring.”
Before anyone could react, he sniffed again and said, “It’s a question that was asked in the second year of high school exam paper.”
Di Li and Yu Wen, who also just finished the college entrance examination, fully proved the diversity of species.
he still remembers the question from the second year of high school. Yu Wen only came up with “Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing”.
“I thought of that question as soon as I came here.” Di Li said: “But it shouldn’t be exactly the same. First of all, the number of people is different. In the original question, a total of 8 people died at the end, so I can’t say for sure here. So you have to go and see if there are any in the merchant ship.”
“Yes.”
A voice with a rough accent answered.
You Huo followed the sound and looked over.
It was the crew member who had just carried the body out.
They have finished dealing with their companions and are coming back one after another.
One of the men with a crew cut had an Asian face and spoke Chinese.
He coughed a few times and stared at Di Li with a cold expression: “We have medicine in the ship, but they are all cargo and no one can touch them.”
Di Li: “We don’t want to move, but it’s to save you! You won’t survive without taking medicine, don’t you hear me?”
Man with a crew cut: “So what if you don’t survive? You are insulting us.”
Di Li: “…”
You are threatening us…
While he was talking, other crew members also gathered around him.
All the heads in the crowd were directed towards Di Li.
Di Li’s companion tried to lighten the atmosphere: “No, no, that is your merchant ship after all. Why would we move around at will? It’s just that you are too worried to see you like this.”
Several crew members whispered a few words, matching their expressions, like a warning.
“What did they say?”
The crew-cut man said with a straight face: “They say that we never use any goods for personal use, not even a needle. This is a rule passed down from generation to generation. Anyone who breaks it will be against the entire merchant fleet. We are not afraid of a duel.”
“…”
Everyone’s expressions were mixed, and they thought to themselves: Who dares to challenge you on horseback? If you accidentally kill one of them, you will have to pay for it.
“Okay, okay, if you don’t destroy it, we will worry about whoever does it!” Everyone comforted.
The flat-haired man fired twice, and his strength was exhausted.He lowered his eyes and waved to the crew and said, “Let’s go in first.”
He should be the first mate, at least the crew members listen to him.
Line up to drill into that narrow hole.
The flat-headed man was at the end of the queue. He couldn’t help but emphasize to everyone: “We will check the goods every morning and evening. If there is one missing, I will look for you. Those medicines are very scarce in the first place. We remember every one of them clearly. Don’t expect to fool them. If you want to touch them, step over our corpses first.”
Everyone: “…………”
During the stalemate, two sounds of “哢哢哢哢” suddenly sounded in the cave.
Everyone scanned around and found the source of the sound——
Qin Zhu opened the very eye-catching suitcase and picked out a box from inside.
“Fortunately, I made up a few things before coming here.”
He bent down and placed the box in front of Wu Li. He pushed it forward half an inch with two slender fingers and made a “please” gesture.
Wu Li was stunned for a moment and opened the box.
Everyone craned their necks to look inside curiously.
I saw three boxes of medicine neatly stacked inside the box, anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, and antipyretic medicine, and a bottle of vitamins was stuffed next to it.
Everyone: “…”
You Huo glanced at him and said, “You have rich experience. How can you say that you don’t always get lucky?”
“Of course I won’t be able to use the shopping list that 922 yelled at me before I went to the rest area. I don’t know the other people either. I might be doing it for you just in case.”
Qin Jiu did not hesitate to sell his men.
Youhuo: “…”
On the sea, in a brightly lit cabin.
922 sneezed eight times in a row.
154 took out a few tissues to wipe his face, and asked disgustedly: “Can you go on the deck if you are sick? The air in the cabin is blocked, do you know it will be contagious?”
922: “No, I’m not sick. I think someone is thinking about me.”
154 rolled his eyes: “You must be thinking about it.”
“Speaking of ghosts…” 922 frowned, as if he had swallowed a Japanese melon: “There is that plague god in this exam, do you think he will come again?”
154 thought for a while and said: “No, the boss is here. If I am not mistaken, he and he should be in the same group. Is it a foul to be in the same group with the invigilator?”
922: “Oh… yes.”
The author has something to say: To make up for what I said last night~
