    ☆、Chapter 60 A sudden turn of events

    This examination room has been around for a long time.

    Based on the actual calculation, it lasts several years. Based on the time in the question, it can be called the desert island of the century.

    For nearly a century, octopuses have been inhabiting this corner.

    From one to two, to a family of three.

    Of course they knew that there was a group of little white faces under the ice. Not only did they know about it, but they also watched with their own eyes as more and more of them grew and grew, becoming one of the untouchable beings on the island.

    Every time Bai Lian walks at night, the scene is called Ruan…

    For some reason, they don’t want to meet these white faces.

    Fortunately, the content of the activities is different.

    While they were eating in the cabin, the white faces were chasing the candidates on the shore.After eating, they went back to the sea, and the white-faced ones were still chasing the candidates on the shore.

    The water from the well does not interfere with the water from the river.

    They thought life on the island would always be like this.

    I never thought…that this would happen.

    The three octopuses froze on the spot.

    They were stunned for a few seconds with their tentacles spread out, then turned around and started to dive into the water.

    As a result, I heard a bang——

    In the cabin, Youhuo stepped on the iron cabinet.

    The rusty hunk fell to the ground with a crash, just enough to seal the hole in the floor.

    Outside the cabin, Qin Zhu jumped down from the boat and landed in front of You Huo, holding a bundle of rope in his hand.

    Youhuo took it for granted that he was here to tie up the octopus, and he thought that the tacit understanding was okay. Except for the excessive commotion, the aftermath work was done quite well.

    Unexpectedly, Qin Zhu stood up, shook off the hemp rope and threw it gently, and the rope loop he had tied in advance was put on You Huo.

    The boss was unprepared and was stunned for a moment when he got into the trap.

    The compliments and kind words suddenly disappeared.

    Cooperation is nothing, tacit understanding is nothing.

    It wasn’t until Qin Zhu tightened the knot and his shoulders were tied up that he said in disbelief: “What are you doing?”

    “It’s so obvious, isn’t it?” Qin Jiu wrapped the extra hemp rope around his hand: “Crossing the mountains and ridges to catch a scoundrel, and defraud a few thugs on the way.”

    “…” The shameless thin lips pursed tightly for a few seconds before saying, “Can you prioritize things?”

    Qin Zhu turned his head and looked behind him——

    More than thirty candidates popped in like dumplings, shouting “Oh my God!”

    And above their heads, the system punishment props and question props are already fighting…

    The white-faced army is facing the ugly octopus head-on.

    At that moment, the wind suddenly became fierce and howling suddenly began.

    Somehow, the white-faced candidates seemed to have forgotten the pursuit, and they became more aggressive than ever towards the three octopuses.

    They stretched out their necks and swept in, wrapping the octopus in the white wind circle in the blink of an eye.

    When the candidates saw the angry white face for the first time, they were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated into the corner of the cabin.

    Qin Jiu turned around, pointed behind him and said to You Huo, “Find the thugs first and then I’ll catch you. I think I’m very urgent.”

    “…”

    Youhuo has nothing to say.

    The broken ship was lifted off the upper deck, and the light was exposed without any obstruction.

    The faces had already rolled the octopus into the air, and ice shards and cold, wet seawater splashed in the struggle, falling into the cabin in waves.

    The wooden floor crackled like rain.

    No candidate dared to raise his head.

    The studious and inquisitive classmate Di Li found himself a perfect seat and sat next to Qin Zhu, leaning against a wooden box, pretending that it could block some ice water.

    he stuck his head out from behind the wooden box, looked at Qin Zhu, then at the rope, then at You Huo, and humbly asked: “Brother Qin, what is the operation of tying the rope? I didn’t keep up with my thinking this time.”

    Youhuo said: “Sick operation.”

    Qin Jiu smiled, as if acquiescing.

    You Huo broke away with his backhand and said to Qin Zhu while untying the rope loop: “Didn’t you bring a box of medicine? Please take a few pills before going out.”

    After finishing the calf, he started to curse.

    Di Li finally realized that he had asked something stupid and shrank back.

    Shrinking half, he heard Qin Jiu reply calmly and calmly: “There are none anymore, they have all been used on the crew.”

    Di Li: “…”

    Groove?Can this happen again?

    Di Li retracted the remaining half of his head, pretending that he didn’t exist…

    ***

    That night, what the candidates regretted most was that they lost their torches while running.

    The pretty boys are very aggressive, and the giant octopus is also difficult to deal with.

    The two fought for a long time while holding hands.

    From the shore to the sea, and from the sea back to the shore, roaring back and forth on the top of the bare broken ship.

    The fighting was so earth-shattering that no holes were made in the frozen sea.

    During this period, some candidates boldly took a look, extremely doubtful that tomorrow…oh no, it should be called today, and doubted whether the ice could be melted today.

    The rest of the time, most people were shivering with cold.

    The pretty boys suffered the loss of being outnumbered by the octopus, and the fight lasted all night.

    It wasn’t until the sea level turned into a transparent gray and the sky dawned that the pretty boys slowly dissipated in the cold morning mist.

    Exhausted octopuses hang on the rocks, like seafood waiting to dry.

    If they remain motionless, the examinee can move.

    ***

    The three semi-conscious giant octopuses suddenly felt suffocated.

    They opened their eyes and found that their faces hurt…

    Extremely painful.

    It’s like being pulled hard by life and strangled with a row of rubber bands.

    Then they discovered…he damn it’s true!

    They were really tied up and tied to a rock somewhere.

    It doesn’t really matter if you just tie the tentacles to prevent them from dancing.They can cut off their own tentacles and escape with their lives.

    However, some candidates learned from the previous experience and tied up their faces.

    Severed limbs can still regenerate, but severed heads cannot.

    They are gradually drying out under the scorching sun, and they feel angry and miserable inside.

    After traveling on a deserted island for so long, this is the first time I feel so embarrassed…

    But that’s nothing.

    Some devil candidates can even make them more embarrassed——

    In view of the fact that there has been no movement on the sea since dawn.

    After drying the octopus, the candidates began to repair the last merchant ship.

    Perhaps because of their eagerness, everyone was extremely efficient and it only took more than two hours to complete the repair.

    After that, everyone began to wait boringly.

    The waiting process is always difficult.

    They couldn’t sit still and had to find something to do for themselves.

    The sun has moved and the place where the octopus was drying has become a shade.The candidates reached a consensus and a group of ten dragged the octopus forward on the ice.

    The soft face passed over the rugged rocks and reached the shore.

    The leading merchant ship had the highest weight capacity, so the candidates simply lifted the octopuses and tied them in a row along the side of the ship, facing the sun.

    The last piece of hemp rope was tied up, and Captain Barentsz leaned out of the cave.

    he waved and shouted something.

    The first mate poked his head out and translated in a louder voice than he: “What are you doing——”

    The octopus with a deformed face is so ugly that it is blind, and its wandering gaze can disappear at the touch of a glance, just like a wasp stinging its eyeballs.

    he was the first to return to the hole.

    The first mate pointed to the merchant ship and asked: “The captain asked you what you did to his ship and what was tied to it?”

    “Reserve food for you.”

    The captain immediately became happy. He put up an awning with his hands and looked into the distance. He finally recognized that it was the beard that he had eaten.

    First Mate: “The captain said thank you, it looks delicious, but he is very hungry now.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, the first mate’s stomach growled twice.

    He froze silently, and the captain patted him on the back and laughed.

    The crew was really hungry, but as they were about to set sail, they were so excited that no one could calm down to eat.

    The octopus is still hanging on the side of the boat without dignity, waiting for its fate.

    The sun slowly began to set in the west, and You Huo leaned against the entrance of the cave.

    There was a slight scraping sound of clothing next to him. He glanced around and saw that it was Qin Zu.

    “What are you looking at?” Qin Zhu held his hand on the top of the cave entrance and got out.

    Youhuo raised his chin in the distance: “Let’s see when the ice melts.”

    “Are you in a hurry?”

    “I don’t care.” Youhuo said, “It doesn’t make any difference whether it’s a few hours earlier or a few hours later.”

    “There is still a slight difference.” Qin Zhu also leaned outside the cave. “If you wait until nightfall to melt, you may attract those human faces, and then it will be full of ghosts and wolves howling again.”

    This was a prophetic statement.

    The ice on the sea surface is like an old lady’s mouth, holding it tightly to prevent it from leaking.

    They held it in until late in the evening, and then into the night, until late at night, everyone heard a voice in the silence.

    “The ice has melted!” Several old crew members jumped up!

    The next second, the captains rushed out.

    It was the soft sound of ice breaking.

    One stroke is light, two strokes are light, but when the vast and boundless sea surface breaks into large areas of ice, the sound is very scary.

    The candidates hurried out carrying courage tools and torches, running straight ahead amid the oncoming sounds.

    Although no one could look down below, they clearly knew that those white faces were approaching rapidly.

    Maybe the ice will suddenly break through in the next second, and the mountains and tsunami will rush over, and all of them will be swept into the white wind.

    Although I have never experienced it personally, the fate of the three octopuses is obvious to all.

    Even now, when they are tied to the side of the ship and blindfolded, unable to see anything, they still subconsciously twist their tentacles in an attempt to escape being beaten a second time.

    The giant octopus is so scared, let alone such a small person…

    Because they have to be escorted back, the candidates have to stay on the merchant ship.

    The crew threw down the rope ladder, and they rushed up.As soon as I stood on the deck, the white wind wall came.

    The whistling sounds came one after another, as if coming from all directions.The human face struggled to stretch its neck and poked out from the surface of the wind wall.

    Despite such intense movements, their expressions did not change.Because of the great contrast between expressions and movements, it gives off a strange sense of terror.

    “Hurry up, hurry up! Didn’t you prepare everything before? Didn’t you say that you can just turn the wheel and go!”

    “Quick turn!!”

    “Raise the sail! Raise the sail–”

    The wall of wind composed of white faces approached quickly.

    “Hurry – captain, hurry up – if you don’t leave, you will die!!”

    There were screams and roars on the ship.

    Amid the cry, the helmsman turned the rudder sharply to the end, and the repaired sail suddenly became filled with wind the moment he turned it.

    The moment the white-faced people rushed to the shore with their necks raised, the merchant ship finally left the shore.

    Their stiff faces showed a hint of disappointment.

    It’s great, even though I’ve been feeling uneasy…but I finally got through it.

    the captain thought.

    He held a rusty pocket watch in his hand, repeatedly opening and closing the cover, making a clicking sound.

    Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a small portrait in the pocket watch.

    Maybe it was intuition, he’s eyebrows suddenly jumped.

    At the same time, Qin Zhu muttered from the side: “It’s not good.”

    he As soon as the deep voice fell, the three merchant ships offshore suddenly turned around in place, and then returned to their original position after 360 degrees.

    Then something like a music box on the ship spoke:

    [Detected that all return conditions could not be met]

    Candidate: “?”

    [All merchant ships have returned to shore, and this melting period will end within five seconds.】

    Candidate: “???”

    [Countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

    [After this melting period ends, there will be no new melting period in the short term.】

    [I wish the candidates a smooth return as soon as possible and good results.】

    Things suddenly took a turn for the worse.

    Before the candidates realized what was wrong, the sea had frozen over again.

    Not even time to digest and think!

    And achieved good results…

    Beast.
