Escape From the Library

Chapter 25: Orienteering 01

Views:

The next morning, the alarm rang in the student dormitory area on time, and everyone went to the cafeteria to have breakfast. Yue Xingwen and three teammates went back to the dormitory to rest. Zhuo Feng, Lin Manluo, and Xu Yishen went to the public elective course center on the fifth floor.

The luck of their two groups was not bad, and they were successfully selected for the public elective course.

Many students do not understand jewelry appreciation, but the rule of "fail the subject and not retake" the public elective course on weekends also allows everyone to put down their psychological burden and try this course. It's okay to pass, but it doesn't matter much. All 50 classes were full, and the class officially started at 10:00 in the morning.

No matter what the content of the course is, according to the "library time", this course is 2 hours, and the exam must end at 12 o'clock. At 12:00 noon, the four of Yue Xingwen went to the gate of the student cafeteria to wait for them. It didn't take long for Zhuo Feng and the three to come together, his face was not very good-looking, Yue Xingwen hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Senior brother, how was the test?"

Liu Zhaoqing also cared, "Have you been there yet?"

Zhuo Feng and his two teammates looked at each other, sighed lightly, and said, "It's over, but it's a pity that it flew at low altitude. I just passed the score of 60 points, and I only got 120 points in the end."

Yue Xingwen asked, "Is it 120 per person?"

Zhuo Feng shook his head helplessly: "It is a total of 120. The points for the public elective courses are calculated by the research group team, not by the individual, and the points will be directly given to the group leader." That is to say, they worked hard and finally only took At 120 points, can I buy 12 lunch boxes

"It's fine if you can. 120 points is enough for 2 days of living expenses, and there are 2 more points, so it's not a loss." Yue Xingwen comforted.

"Yes, at least two days' worth of meals." Zhuo Feng's face gradually improved, and he told everyone about the experience of the exam: "At the beginning of the exam, all of us were taken to the auction site, and halfway through the auction, he suddenly said that there was jewelry. Lost, let's find the stolen jewelry and find the thief who stole it."

Lin Manluo added: "A group of students were about to turn the auction site upside down, but in the end they couldn't find them all. They don't even know where such small diamonds are hidden. We were able to find three of them, which is pretty good. Some groups didn't find anything. , a busy day in vain."

Xu Yishen said with a smile: "The failure rate of this course is very high, and the scene is extremely chaotic. Fortunately, there is no need to fight monsters, and there is no danger to life. Xingwen is right, 2 credits and 120 credits, you can't pass it. It's a loss."

Everyone went into the dining hall to eat together. Lin Manluo whispered: "Xingwen, judging from the failure rate of the public elective courses in the morning, the orienteering in the afternoon will definitely not be too simple, you must be mentally prepared."

"Well, the course requirements say uniform distribution of clothing and props, I always think it will become a wild survival mode?" Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce next to him and said, "Fortunately, the four of us have no problem with self-protection. There is also Pingce's strong full-court control, even if it is a survival course, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Jiang Pingce said calmly: "Don't worry, we will definitely pass the test." Looking at his confident and calm appearance, Yue Xingwen patted his shoulder with a smile: "By your auspicious words, I hope this class exam goes well!"

After lunch, the four of Yue Xingwen received a system reminder at the same time: "Your c-183 research group signed up for this afternoon's "Orienteering" public elective course, assigned to class 1, please arrive on Friday before 13:55 Sign in at the Public Course Selection Center."

Yue Xingwen and his teammates arrived at the public elective course center on the fifth floor 10 minutes early.

Orienteering has 50 classes with a total of 5,000 students. However, the public elective course center is not crowded at all. The intelligent system has automatically divided students from different classes. When the four of Yue Xingwen came to this floor, there were less than 100 students in the entire hall. The big screen in the middle read "Orienteering Class 1 Sign-In".

Several smart tablets were placed in the sign-in area. Yue Xingwen walked over with his teammates and pressed the fingerprints in the identification area one by one. A prompt popped up on the screen: "All members of the c-183 research group have successfully signed in, and the examination room is about to open. Please wait."

There are only 8 minutes left until the exam.

Here is the check-in desk for Class 1, indicating that the surrounding students will enter the same examination room later.

Everyone was unfamiliar with each other, and groups of three or four gathered together and discussed in a low voice.

Suddenly, a boy said in a loud voice: "My classmates, if this course is a survival mode, I hope everyone can cooperate and cooperate. If you can't cooperate, don't make it difficult for others. After all, you don't need to retake a public elective course if you fail a course, and you don't need to talk to your classmates. Let’s work hard, let your skills take it easy, and don’t hurt anyone!”

Hearing this sentence, many people nodded in agreement, but some classmates just glanced at him and ignored him.

The boy looked calm, and after saying this, he turned back and whispered to the teammate next to him. Yue Xingwen saw a familiar face unexpectedly—a thin girl about 155 in height stood beside the boy, with a ponytail and pale skin. Just now, she was completely blocked by the boy, so she took a step to the side. , Yue Xingwen only saw her.

She seemed to be aware of Yue Xingwen's line of sight, looked over here, and her eyes lit up immediately: "Xingwen?!"

Yue Xingwen smiled at her: "What a coincidence, Liu Xiaoxiao?"

Liu Xiaoxiao trotted over quickly, stood in front of Yue Xingwen and raised his head to look at him, his voice sounded a little excited: "What a coincidence, we are matched with another class! Brother Liu and Shao Ke are also there, are you forming a team? ?" As for the handsome and indifferent boy beside Yue Xingwen, she didn't know her, and she didn't dare to greet him rashly.

Yue Xingwen said: "Yes, a few of our alumni simply set up a research group together."

Jiang Pingce glanced at her, frowning slightly - this girl was thin and small, with a baby face, he didn't remember Yue Xingwen's friends as such, it seemed that he just met in the library

Aware that Jiang Pingce was looking at the other party, Yue Xingwen introduced softly: "This is Liu Xiaoxiao from Binjiang Normal University. We happened to be matched with the same class in the examination room of "Cardiovascular Ward"."

Jiang Pingce gave a light "um" and nodded at her, as a greeting.

Yue Xingwen introduced: "This is my best friend, Jiang Pingce from the Department of Mathematics."

Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized: "It's the math friend you mentioned!"

Yue Xingwen smiled and said, "That's right."

Jiang Pingce looked at Yue Xingwen suspiciously, and the latter leaned into his ear and explained, "I used the trajectory analysis method you taught me when I deduced the murderer. They were curious about how I, a Chinese major, is so sensitive to data. I just said, I have a math friend who was influenced by you."

Jiang Pingce was silent for a few seconds, and asked in a low voice, "Do you often mention me in front of others?"

Yue Xingwen looked calm: "I just mentioned it casually."

Jiang Pingce didn't ask any more questions, but his face was not as cold as before.

Liu Zhaoqing laughed and joked: "Liu Xiaoxiao, who dares to teach monkeys, have you found the research group?"

Liu Xiaoxiao blushed and said, "I formed a team with senior brothers and sisters from Binjiang Normal University. My senior brother is called Qin Lang, and he is very nice. I don't know what the exam will be in a while. If possible, let's work together! "

On the premise that there is no conflict of interest, Yue Xingwen is of course willing to cooperate with other students to clear customs. Her senior brother's name is Qin Lang, who is obviously Qin Lang from the Department of Physics of Binjiang Normal University who posted the "Orienteering Guide" on the school forum last night. A very enthusiastic person, it seems that he knew Liu Xiaoxiao from the beginning, so he took in this school girl in the research group.

Yue Xingwen nodded and said, "No problem, let's talk about it if we have a chance to cooperate."

Liu Xiaoxiao turned around and returned to her teammates, and introduced Yue Xingwen to her brothers and sisters. The other party gave Yue Xingwen a friendly look, and Yue Xingwen also nodded and greeted them.

A mechanical voice sounded in my ears: "The check-in is over, and the examination room is about to open. Please be prepared."

After a 10-second countdown, the scene in front of everyone suddenly changed—

I saw everyone collectively appearing on a large helicopter. Everyone sat in two rows facing each other, and put on uniform army green camouflage uniforms, with a backpack behind them.

The deafening roar of the propeller could be heard.

Yue Xingwen looked back at Jiang Pingce, just in line with his gaze.

The familiar camouflage uniform is reminiscent of the military training when he first entered school in his freshman year. After going through medical school, Yue Xingwen was used to changing clothes suddenly in the examination room. But the question is, what to do with them in a helicopter

The next moment, I heard a cold mechanical sound in the cabin: "Students, welcome to the "Orienteering" public elective course, the plane will take you to the island for the exam, please prepare yourself."

There was a chatter around—

"Go to the island? Could it be survival in the wild!"

"Send us there by helicopter, why do I feel a little nervous in my heart?"

"Is it a desert island where birds don't shit? How many days are we going to be there?"

Mechanic ignored the discussion of the classmates, and continued to say coldly: "Everyone has a parachute on his back. After the plane arrives at the destination, please parachute yourself. The minimum safe height for skydiving is 500 meters, so please be at 500 meters. Open the parachute at the height above, once you fall to your death, you will be responsible for the consequences."

Everyone: "???"

What the hell? parachute? !

Mechanical Voice: "Next, please watch the parachute operating instructions carefully."

This is the first time for Yue Xingwen to fly in a helicopter. In the past, when the plane took off, "Safety Instructions" was played in front of the seat, but this time, "Parachute Operation Instructions" was played.

Is it so exciting to directly pull a group of college students to skydive

Yue Xingwen immediately concentrated and focused on the video played in the cabin.

This video briefly describes the operating instructions of the parachute, how to open it, and how to control the direction. It doesn't seem to be particularly difficult. However, jumping down from the sky, everyone's heart can't help but back down.

Human beings have an instinctive fear of high altitude, especially the phrase "fall to death at your own risk" makes people feel stressed - no one wants to experience the experience of "falling to death"!

The video was played only once, and the mechanical voice followed: "The test site is about to arrive. From now on, the helicopter will circle around the island for 10 minutes. Students can choose their favorite place to parachute. Students, please pay attention to the position of the team members, and don’t be too scattered when skydiving.”

Mechanical Voice: "This orienteering assessment lasts for 3 days. Please solve the food and accommodation by yourself. The team leader has a map, a compass and other tools in his backpack. There are a lot of point cards scattered on the island. Collect the point cards to get the corresponding points. , 60 or more points are judged as passing. Note that you must reach the end point before 24:00 on the third day, otherwise the test will not pass.”

The helicopter hovered in the air, and there was a harsh roar in the cabin, followed by the door wide open, and the cold wind rushed in, making the students almost unable to open their eyes, and their hair was instantly messed up. .

Didi's siren seemed to be urging everyone to skydive.

100 students looked at each other.

A boy boldly walked to the cabin door and glanced down, and his legs were almost weak: "Fuck, how tall is this!"

The voice of the teammate next to him trembled: "The parachute has an altitude indication, and the current altitude is 3,000 meters."

A girl was about to cry: "I'm afraid of heights, what should I do? I'm going to fall to death?! Otherwise, we won't take this course, can we skip the class? Isn't it possible to skip classes for elective courses?" "Yes. , I'm not going to dance anymore, can't I skip class!"

There was a lot of noise around, and no one dared to jump down first.

Mechanical Voice: "Please prepare for skydiving, students will be forced to launch after the 10-minute countdown is over."

Liu Zhaoqing complained in a low voice, "Is this a live-action version of Eating Chicken? Put a group of people on a deserted island to skydive! I usually play Eating Chicken games on the computer, and I really jump down... This is too exciting!"

Ke Shaobin glanced down from the window, and couldn't help but feel nervous - at an altitude of 3,000 meters, the wind was strong in the sky, and there was only an oval island in the blue sea, so students with zero skydiving experience went straight down. Jumping, if you can't control the direction well, get blown into the sea and drown, or accidentally hit a rock and fall to your death, it's very miserable to think about.

If I knew earlier, it would be better to choose "Jewelry Appreciation" to go to the auction to find diamonds!

The 10-minute surround countdown and the constant sound of the beeping alarms made the atmosphere in the cabin extremely tense.

Jiang Pingce looked at Yue Xingwen, who just happened to look at him. The two exchanged glances and walked towards the cabin door side by side. Liu Zhaoqing and Ke Shaobin had to bite the bullet and keep up.

Jiang Pingce said in a low voice, "You jump first, I will last. If you deviate in direction or encounter danger, I can use the coordinate system to change your trajectory."

It is also too difficult to calculate coordinates and write formulas during the descent.

But Yue Xingwen believed in Jiang Pingce's ability.

He is someone who has the ability to participate in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. He is a student who has completed all the mathematics courses in his junior year and has determined the number of guaranteed graduate students in advance. Falling speed, time, distance, direction, with the coordinate system in hand, he can definitely calculate it.

Yue Xingwen looked at the other party and stretched out his hand with a smile: "I jumped first. If I fall to my death, I will go back and settle the account with you."

Jiang Pingce stretched out his hand, and the two gave each other a high five as if encouraging each other.

Then, Yue Xingwen simply jumped out of the hatch!

Liu Zhaoqing and Ke Shaobin had no choice but to follow up, Jiang Pingce jumped last, so that he could see the positions of the three teammates below him and use his coordinate system to protect his teammates.

There was an exclamation in the cabin: "Fuck, they have already jumped!"

When the other students heard this, they turned their heads and looked down from the window.

The boy who jumped first had already opened his parachute.

Immediately after, his teammates opened their parachutes one after another, and the four parachutes were like four petals blooming in the air, drifting quickly towards the deserted island.
