This test room has been around for a long time.
In reality, there are several years, and in terms of the time in the title, it can be called the deserted island of the century.
For nearly a century, octopuses have been entrenched in this corner.
From one to two to a family of three.
Of course, they knew that there were a group of little white faces under the ice. Not only did they know, but they also watched them grow more and more and gradually became one of the untouchable existences on the island.
Every time I walk in the night with a white face, the scene is so scary...
For some reason, they don't want to meet these white faces.
Fortunately, the content of the activities is different.
While they were feeding in the cabin, the white faces chased the candidates on the shore. After they finished eating, they went back to the sea, and the white faces were still chasing the candidates on the shore.
Well water does not make river water.
They thought life on the island would always be like this.
Never thought... there will be today.
The three octopuses solidified on the spot.
They froze for a few seconds with their tentacles open, then turned to go into the water.
Then I heard a thud—
In the cabin, You Huo stepped on the iron cabinet.
The rusty hunk slammed to the ground, impartial, just enough to seal the hole in the floor.
Outside the cabin, Qin Jiu jumped down with the help of the boat, and landed in front of You Huo, holding a bundle of ropes in his hand.
Youhuo took it for granted that he was here to bundle the octopus, and said that the tacit understanding was okay, except that the movement was too loud, and the aftermath work was done quite well.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jiu stood up, shook off the hemp rope and tossed it gently, and the pre-tied rope loop was wrapped around You Huo.
The big guy was unprepared and stayed for a moment when he got into the set.
The compliments and good words vanished in an instant.
Cooperate with a ghost, tacit understanding of a fart.
It wasn't until Qin Qiu tightened the knot that he was tied up on his shoulders, and then he said incredulously, "What are you doing?"
"It's so obvious?" Qin Qiu wrapped the extra hemp rope around his hand: "Come over the mountains to catch a cheater, and deceive a few thugs by the way."
"..." The shameless thin lips pursed for a few seconds, and said, "Can you prioritize?"
Qin Qiu turned his head and looked behind him—
More than 30 candidates came in like dumplings, shouting "Oh my god".
And above their heads, the system punishment props and topic props have already fought...
The White Faces face the ugly octopus head on.
At that moment, the gust of wind suddenly became fierce, and the whistling sound suddenly came from everywhere.
For some reason, the candidates who seemed to have forgotten to chase, White Face exploded with unprecedented aggression towards the three octopuses.
They swept in with their necks stretched out, wrapping the octopus in a white wind ring in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the angry white face for the first time, the candidates were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated into the corner of the cabin.
Qin Qiu turned around, pointed behind him, and said to You Huo, "Find a good thug first and then catch you, I think I'm very prioritised."
"… "
Wandering has nothing to say.
The broken ship was lifted off the upper deck, and the light was open and unobstructed.
The faces had already rolled the octopus into the air, and the shattered ice slag and the cold and wet seawater splashed in the fight, falling into the cabin one after another.
The wooden floor crackled like rain.
No student dared to hold his head.
Di Li, a diligent and inquisitive student, found a perfect place for himself, sitting 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 Qiu, looked at the rope, looked at You Huo again, and asked humbly: "Brother Qin, what is the operation of tying the rope? I didn't keep up with my thinking this time."
Youyou said: "Sick operation."
Qin Qiu laughed, as if by default.
You Huo broke free, and while untying the rope, he said to Qin Qiu, "Didn't you bring a box of medicine? Please take a few before going out."
Finished calf, began to scold.
Di Li finally realized that he had asked stupid things, and retreated embarrassingly.
After shrinking halfway, he heard Qin Jiu answer without rushing, "It's gone, it's all used for the crew."
Di Li: "..."
groove? Can you come back like this
Di Li retracted the remaining half of his head, pretending that he didn't exist...
***
That night, the candidates most regretted was losing the torch during the run.
The little white faces are aggressive, and the giant octopus is not easy to deal with.
The two beat their arms for a long time.
From shore to sea, and from sea back to shore, whistling to and fro on the bare roof of the broken ship.
It was so earth-shattering that no holes were smashed out of the frozen sea.
During the period, some candidates took a daring glance, and were extremely suspicious of tomorrow... Oh no, it should be called today, and doubted whether it could melt ice today.
The rest of the time, most people were shivering with cold.
The little white faces ate no more than the octopus, and the fight lasted all night.
It was not until the sea level turned a transparent gray and the day dawned that the little white faces slowly dissipated in the cold mist of the morning.
Exhausted octopuses hang on the reef like seafood waiting to dry.
When they don't move, candidates can move.
***
The three semi-conscious giant octopuses suddenly felt a burst of suffocation.
They opened their eyes and found their faces hurt...
Extremely painful.
It's like being pulled hard by life and strangling a row of rubber bands.
And then they found out... FUCKING THAT!
They were literally tied up, tied around a rock somewhere.
It doesn't really matter if you just bind the tentacles to keep them from dancing. They can cut off their tentacles and escape.
But some candidates learned from the previous experience and tied their faces.
A severed hand and a broken foot can regenerate, but a severed head cannot be reborn.
They were drying out in the sun, angry and bleak inside.
It's the first time I've been so embarrassed after roaming the deserted island for so long...
But it's nothing.
Some devil candidates can make them even more humiliating—
In view of the fact that there was no movement on the sea surface after dawn.
After the candidates dried the octopus, they began to repair the last merchant ship.
Perhaps because of the urgency, everyone was extremely efficient, and it only took more than two hours to completely repair it.
After that everyone began to wait boringly.
The waiting process is always difficult.
They can't sit still and can only find something for themselves to do.
The sun shifted, and the place where the octopuses were drying became shaded. The candidates agreed, and groups of ten dragged the octopus on the ice.
The soft face darted across the rugged reef, all the way to the shore.
The leading merchant ship had the highest load-bearing capacity. The candidates simply lifted the octopus and tied it in a row along the side of the ship, facing the sun.
The last rope was tied, and Captain Barents leaned out of the cave.
He waved his hand and shouted something.
The first officer stuck his head out and translated in a louder voice than him, "What are you doing—"
The octopus with its deformed face was so ugly that it blinded its eyes.
He was the first to return to the cave.
The first mate pointed to the merchant ship and asked, "The captain asked what you did to his ship. What was it tied to?"
"Reserve food for you."
The captain was immediately happy, and he put his hand on the awning and looked into the past, and finally recognized that it was the whiskers they had eaten.
First mate: "The captain said thank you, it looks delicious, he's starving now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the first mate's stomach groaned twice.
He froze in silence, and the captain patted him on the back and laughed.
The crew were really hungry, but they were so excited that they were about to set sail, and no one could calm down to eat.
The octopus still hangs undignified on the side of the boat, waiting for fate.
…
The sun slowly began to sink in the west, and You Huo leaned against the entrance of the cave.
There was a slight rubbing sound of the fabric next to him, and he glanced at it, it was Qin Qiu.
"What are you looking at?" Qin Jiu crawled out from the top of the cave.
You Huo rushed into the distance and raised his chin: "Let's see when the ice will melt."
"in a hurry?"
"I don't care." You Huo said, "It doesn't really make a difference a few hours earlier or later."
"There's still a slight difference." Qin Jiu also leaned against the cave, "If you wait until the night falls, you may attract those faces, and then there will be ghosts crying and wolf howling again."
This is a prophecy.
The ice on the sea surface is like the mouth of an old lady, it is hard to hold back the leak.
I was stunned for the evening, and then into the night, until late at night, when everyone heard a voice in the silence.
"The ice has melted!" Several old crew members jumped up!
The next second, the captain and the others rushed out.
It was the soft sound of ice breaking.
One hit is light, two hits is light, but when the vast and boundless sea cracks a large area of ice, the momentum is very scary.
The candidates hurried out with their courage tools and torches, and ran straight in the face of the oncoming sound.
Although no one could look down, they clearly knew that those white faces were approaching rapidly.
Maybe the next second will suddenly break through the ice, and the mountains and tsunamis will be slaughtered, and all of them will be swept into the white wind.
Although I have not personally experienced it, the fate of the three octopuses is obvious to all.
Even now, they are tied to the side of the boat and blindfolded, and they can't see anything, and they still twist their tentacles subconsciously, trying to escape the second beating.
Giant octopuses are so afraid, let alone such tiny people...
The candidates had to stay on the merchant ship because they had to be escorted back to the voyage.
The crew threw down the rope ladder and they scurried up. Just standing on the deck, the white wind wall came.
The whistling sound came one after another, as if coming from all directions. The human face struggled to stretch its neck and stick out from the surface of the wind wall.
With such a fierce action, their expressions did not change. Because of the large contrast between the expressions and movements, it brought a strange sense of terror.
"It's hastily! Isn't it all ready before? Didn't you say you can walk by turning the rudder!"
"Quick turn!!"
"Pull the sail! Pull the sail—"
The wind wall made up of white faces quickly approached.
"Hurry up - Captain hurry up - if you don't go, you will die!!"
The boat screamed and roared into pieces.
In the cry, the helmsman turned the rudder to the end, and the repaired sail was full of wind at the moment of turning.
The moment the white-faced men threw their necks to the shore, the merchant ship finally left the shore.
Their stiff faces showed a hint of disappointment.
Great, even though I've been restless... but it's finally over.
thought the captain.
Holding a rusted pocket watch in his hand, he repeatedly opened and closed the lid, making a clicking sound.
Out of the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of a small portrait in the pocket watch.
Perhaps it was intuition, and his eyebrows suddenly jumped.
At the same time, Qin Qiu muttered in a low voice: "Not good."
As soon as his deep voice fell, the three merchant ships off the coast suddenly turned around, and after 360 degrees, they actually came back to their original positions.
Then, something resembling a music box on the ship spoke:
【It is detected that all return conditions have not been met】
Candidate: "?"
[All merchant ships have returned to shore, and this ice melting period will end within five seconds. 】
Candidate: "???"
[Countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
[After the end of this melting period, there will be no new melting period in the short term. 】
[I wish the candidates a smooth return to the flight as soon as possible and achieve good results. 】
The situation took a sudden turn for the worse.
The candidates didn't realize what was wrong, and the sea was frozen again.
Not even time to digest and think!
Also got good grades...
brute.
