    ☆, Chapter 45 Reverse operation

    “If you think about the trivial things, you are pretty good.” You Huo suddenly said.

    Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows: “Do you always do this?”

    “What kind?”

    Qin Jiu pretended to think about it, and then described it in a low tone: “In order to anger someone, such as me, you give support to someone you don’t know at all, such as invigilator A? To be honest, this is a bit childish.”

    Youhuo let out a “ha”, pulled up his collar to cover his lips and chin, and walked forward without squinting: “My mouth is on my face.”

    The wind at night in the Arctic Circle can turn your face into paralysis, and no one wants to open their mouth in the wind.

    The two walked in silence for a while.

    Without the sound of people, this reef island was a bit too quiet. Just like when we first landed, it seemed that something was missing.

    Youhuo took a few more steps and suddenly came to his senses.

    No sound of waves.

    They listened to the turbulent waves all the way in the small white boat, and disappeared after getting ashore.

    “What’s wrong?”

    Seeing he suddenly stopped, Qin Jiu was a little confused.

    You Huo said: “The sea is covered with ice. How did the invigilator ship get all the way here?”

    In the title, the reason why three Dutch merchant ships were anchored here and the captains and crew were forced to live on a desert island for eight months was because the sea was blocked by thick ice and they could not sail.

    The flat-headed mate said that merchant ships originally had ice-breaking hinges, which were tied to the hull and locked, so that they could pass through ordinary ice.

    But the ice here is so thick and boundless that the ice-breaking hinges of the three ships have been scrapped.

    But the little white boat they just took went smoothly and the speed was not slow.

    And he actually didn’t think of this until now.

    “Does the invigilation ship have a special ice-breaking device?” You Huo asked Qin Zhu.

    Qin Jiu knew the settings of the examination room and proctoring office very well, like a living reference book measuring nearly 1.9 meters tall.

    Shu said: “What? Do you want to go to the proctoring ship to cheat on equipment?”

    Youhuo saw through it at a glance and didn’t hide it: “No?”

    “It’s not that it’s impossible.” Qin Zhu said, “It’s just that it’s not possible. The invigilation ship does not rely on ice-breaking devices to sail. Otherwise, you would have heard the sound of the ice cracking along the way.”

    “922 said that the invigilation ship does not have any special treatment. In fact, it does. The voyage itself is special treatment.”

    Qin Jiu said: “Wherever the invigilation ship passes, the ice will disappear and turn into normal sea water. There is no need for ice-breaking devices. Haven’t you discovered it until now? The system is still very willing to make it convenient for the invigilation to successfully catch the candidates.”

    Now let those crew members clean up and drive the merchant ship to take the same path that the invigilation ship just took?

    Youhuo thought as he walked towards the edge of the reef.

    It was as if Qin Zhu could read this idea.He turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and shined a circle around the place where he just landed, and said: “No need to think too hard, look, the ice will have been sealed as soon as the invigilation ship left.”

    Sure enough, wherever the light swept over, the ice was as white as if it had never been broken.

    …Okay.

    Youhuo gave up the idea.

    Everyone on the proctoring boat escaped temporarily.

    In the cave, everyone was busy.

    The two big guys smashed the ship and smashed the wood into mountains, which directly solved the entire fuel supply for more than ten days.

    Of course, no one will waste the wealth gained from this kind of adventure.

    They put the wood in the driest corner, and each found some handy tools to chop them into more flammable firewood.

    The crew members who had rich survival experience and were not injured followed the candidates to set up fire points.

    It must not only ensure that the cave is warm enough, but also be able to disperse smoke, and also prevent the danger of the fire collapsing and injuring people.

    All large and small fires were lit, and the two stone caves inside and outside suddenly became warm and brightly lit.

    The frozen hair and clothes containing ice residue were dried, and the blood in the wounds showed signs of life.

    Everyone’s mood was obviously much better and they sat down around the fire.

    Several seriously injured crew members, including the captain, were still sleeping. Wu Li would conduct a rough inspection of mild wounds every half hour.Shu Xue worked hard to help her.

    I have to say that her status as a pregnant woman makes her look non-threatening, and her temperament is very gentle, and she can always get close to people as quickly as possible.

    Even the most serious Wu Li talks to her more than others.

    While Wu Li was relaxing by the fire, he suddenly asked Shu Xue: “Have your two friends ever suffered from brain diseases?”

    Shu Xue: “…”

    The serious woman asked very politely, but it really sounded like a curse.

    Shu Xue said dumbfounded: “I haven’t heard them mention it before, why do you say that?”

    Wu Li said: “Occasionally, some performances are a bit similar.”

    Shu Xue thought for a while and said: “Actually, I haven’t known you for a long time. We took two exams together, so our understanding is limited. How about… you ask them?”

    Of course, she couldn’t see any signs of illness in You Huo and Qin Jiu. She just felt that they were strong and powerful, and they didn’t look like they were sick.Besides…brain diseases aren’t so common, right?When you meet two random friends, both of them are sick?

    The probability was so low that Shu Xue felt it was impossible.

    But she was not a professional after all, Wu Li must have her reasons for what she said, and Shu Xue did not want to draw conclusions for You Huo and Qin Zhu without authorization.

    Well…what if there is any sign and there is a delay?

    Shu Xue thought to herself.

    Wu Li rubbed her warmed hands and said, “Let’s see, maybe it’s just an occupational disease that caused me to be too sensitive.”

    When Youhuo and Qin Jiu returned to the cave, everyone had finished dividing their work and started taking turns to rest.

    Some people curled up next to the fire and fell asleep, snoring slightly.

    Most people don’t sleep soundly, opening their eyes and turning over from time to time.

    Shu Xue looked very sleepy. She sat in the corner and took a nap with her suitcase in her arms, her head moving little by little.

    Youhuo and Qin Ju walked over lightly.

    She patted her face and woke up and said: “You are finally back… I calculated the time and it has been more than three hours. I thought something happened to you again. I just wanted to go find you, but I was stopped.”

    The flat-headed mate stuffed his pocket watch back and said stiffly: “It’s not safe at night, so of course we can’t let you take risks.”

    “Since the last two are back, let’s seal the hole.” He called a crew member and went outside together, setting up several obstacles with fires.

    “Take the time to rest and try to go to bed as early as possible. This way, if something happens at night, at least you won’t be unable to wake up.”

    When he heard the words “can’t wake up”, Qin Zhu gave You Huo a meaningful look.

    Youhuo sat in the corner, straightened his legs and said, “I’ll keep it.”

    “Have you had enough sleep in the solitary room? If you haven’t, I don’t mind working hard tonight. Otherwise, I’m worried that you’ll fall down halfway and sleep more deeply than me.” Qin Jiu said.

    Youhuo: “…”

    Under He’s gaze, Qin Jiu made a zipper movement with his mouth, closed his clothes and closed his eyes.

    Youhuo leaned his head against the stone wall, his eyes quietly scanning the people in the cave, and finally landed on a certain place.

    There were two men huddled there, shaking slightly, causing the enlarged shadow on the wall to tremble.

    Their faces were as golden as paper, one of them was chewing his nails nervously, with a look of uneasiness about the coming storm.

    You Huo remembers that one of these two people, one named Chen Fei and the other Huang Rui, had a total score of only 11 points, which was more than 6 points less than You Huo and Qin Zhu, and they were currently ranked at the bottom.

    They tried hard, found branches and boarded merchant ships, but the harvest was too small and there was nothing they could do.

    If nothing else, in a few hours at 0:00, they will be the first group of people responsible for the death of the crew and receive the due punishment.

    Although I don’t know what the punishment is yet, how can I be called responsible for death.

    But when I think about it, I know it must be terrible… maybe it will kill me directly.

    Now they are just waiting for seconds for the guillotine to fall.

    The pocket watch on the first mate’s chest moved quietly, indicating the examination room time.

    At 23:57 at night, a bell suddenly sounded in the cave.

    The sleeping candidates suddenly woke up, and some even jumped up with their heads in the chicken coop: “Have you taken the exam?”

    The one who jumped up was Di Li. He looked around blankly and then sat on the ground rubbing his face: “Fuck… I was scared to death. I hallucinated the bell ringing. I thought I was late for the college entrance examination.”

    “It’s not a hallucination.”

    “There is really a ringtone, it scares me…”

    “Why did it ring suddenly? I’m most afraid of this sound.”

    Other people talked in a variety of ways.

    Qin Jiu was pinching his eyebrows when Youhuo suddenly slapped him.

    “Huh?” he raised his head.

    Youhuo pointed at the stone wall and said, “Let’s recalculate the scores.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the dead rabbit rang out in the cave, with a strange echo:

    [There are 2 minutes and 21 seconds left from 0 o’clock, recalculate today’s score.】

    [Today’s candidates will trigger two scoring points.】

    【1. Treat injuries of crew members.】

    【2. Find fuel to ensure the temperature inside the cave.】

    [The specific scoring is as follows:]

    [Treating injuries to crew members totals 6 points, including 2 points for finding medicine and 4 points for diagnosis and treatment.】

    [Finding fuel to ensure the temperature in the cave costs a total of 8 points, including 5 points for finding sufficient fuel, 1 point for chopping firewood, and 2 points for building a fire safely.】

    On the stone wall, the scores of the candidates began to change.

    Because Qin Zhu and You Huo provided medicine and found fuel, they directly added 7 points. From 17.25 to 24.25, they jumped up to four points.

    Shu Xue and Wu Li added 4 points for diagnosis and treatment, and also jumped up two places.

    Although Di Li and the others also found fuel, the amount was far from “enough”, so they only added 1 point.

    Most of the remaining groups added 2 points for chopping wood and making a fire, which was better than nothing.

    Chen Fei and Huang Rui tried their best and added 4 points in total. The total score changed from 11 to 15, still ranking last.

    They sat slumped, empty and frightened.

    At this moment, Dead Rabbit spoke again:

    [All bonus points have been calculated, now the additional deductions are calculated.】

    [Today’s candidates will trigger one deduction point.】

    [1. If there are violations in the examination room, the system ship will be dismantled.】

    [The specific scoring is as follows:]

    [The dismantled system ship has lost its functions, is completely scrapped, and cannot be repaired. The consequences of the nature of the behavior are extremely serious. A total of 10 points will be deducted from the illegal candidates.】

    The score strips on the stone wall changed again.

    You Huo and Qin Zhu’s scores were cut in half, from 24.25 to 14.25.

    With the joint efforts of the two, the reverse operation sank to the bottom, and the total score for the whole day was minus 3. They successfully kicked away Chen Fei and Huang Rui, and firmly ranked first from the bottom.

    All the candidates were stunned.

    The author has something to say: I didn’t recover until night, and I only had time to make up one chapter. Can I wait until tomorrow night for another one?
