Everyone moved the crossbow from the lower cabin to the deck, studied how to use it, and then tried to shoot. In order not to waste the arrows, they all shot the arrows at a designated cabin door.

As it turned out, there was a gap between just watching the pig run and actually eating pork. A group of people held up their crossbows to aim, but the arrows they shot flew in a mess.

The only two surprises came from Ke Xun and Mu Yiran's husband. The two have both strength and athleticism. The arrows they shoot can basically be nailed within the range of the door, especially Ke Xun, who is really good in terms of physical function. Talent, after practicing more than a dozen arrows, his accuracy has become quite high, and almost all arrows can be shot at almost the same position.

Everyone continued to practice hard. At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Fei and Chen Xinai came over and asked their boyfriends to go to the restaurant for dinner.

The dining room is actually the largest room in the middle of the cabin. There is a low table in it. People in Qin Dynasty all sat on the floor to eat.

Everyone followed into the restaurant. Seeing that Xue Ge was already sitting there and eating, Chen Xinai said, "We don't know much about using the cooking utensils of this era. We don't cook much, and it's relatively simple. You can make do with it. The meal is served in the kitchen by yourself."

The three girls only served themselves and their boyfriend's meals, but the others had no opinion, after all, they were not obliged to serve everyone.

The rest of the people went to the next kitchen again, and saw a bronze cauldron in the room, firewood under the cauldron, and steam was blowing from the cauldron. What kind of dish, boiled to a rotten ball, is very unappetizing...

"Hey, I can't even eat meat before I die. I feel so pitiful." Luo Yu wiped away the tears that didn't exist on his face.

"Is it okay to be content? It's weird, I want to eat and make it myself." Wei Dong said to him.

"If I could do it myself, my aunt Liu would be unemployed," Luo said.

Wei Dong: "Who is Aunt Liu?"

Luo Yao: "My family's servant who specializes in cooking."

Wei Dong: "... well, I forgot that you are the eldest young master."

"If you're not too hungry, just wait," Ke Xun suddenly rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the tripod, "I think this amount is not enough for us people, I'll make a little more, and if you're hungry, I'll serve the porridge first. pad."

"Huh? Brother, you actually know how to cook?!" Luo Meng looked at him in surprise, "It looks like someone with a girlfriend!"

"I'm almost dead, but I can't stop you from talking too much." Ke Xun looked at the firewood under the cauldron, and seeing that the fire was out, he raised his eyes and said to Luo Meng, "Go and find me a flint."

"What kind of flint do you want, I have a lighter here." Luo Yu took it out of his arms, but what he found in his hand was two flints and a pinch of tinder, "—Damn it! My Zippo! A lighter of 230,000 yuan. Turned into two broken stones?!"

Weidong: "...I dare to ask if your family still lacks a servant who specializes in maintaining your lighters, the kind who is honest and has artistic expertise?"

Ke Xun picked up the firewood and began to look for the existing ingredients in the kitchen. When everyone saw this, they all exited the door and continued to practice arrows, but Mu Yiran stayed behind.

Ke Xun moved another cooking tripod, threw the firewood in it and burned it vigorously, then cut the meat he found into small pieces, skewered them into skewers, and grilled them on the tripod.

"It's a pity that there are no cumin and pepper," Ke searched for the seasoning in the kitchen, but only found salt and pepper, and sighed, "Qiaoji can't cook without rice."

"You can use cornel instead of chili." Mu Yiran pointed to him.

Ke Xun went over to get the dogwood, and when he passed by Mu Yiran, he kissed him on the cheek.

"Do you think the method of shooting sea monsters with arrows that Shao Ling said is correct?" Ke Xun asked her boyfriend while grilling skewers.

Mu Yiran leaned against the door and stood like a sloping bamboo, his eyes fell on Ke Xun's hand who was skilled in handling the ingredients, his voice was light and soft: "At present, his thinking is fine. But whether the method of shooting the sea monster with arrows is useful can only be verified by tonight."

"Yes," Ke Xun's face was calm, "the cruel thing about 'painting' is that we can only get more clues by dying. I don't know who will be selected tonight... Eat more meat before death. Bar."

When Ke Xun greeted everyone to come in for the meal, Luo Xun was shocked again: "I can't believe I ran to Qin Chao to make some skewers... Oh, it's delicious! Brother, can I eat more skewers? Brother you Too awesome! Brother, can I marry you? Although I'm straight, I don't mind bending for you, brother!"

"Shut up and eat your food." Ke Xun was speechless, holding a large handful of kebabs in one hand, and took his boyfriend's hand to the corner with the other.

"This is... my brother's boyfriend?" Luo Meng asked Wei Dong, looking at the two of them.

Wei Dong: "… "

This stuff really doesn't recognize life.

But... It does look like Ke Er in the second year of secondary school...

"That's your brother-in-law." Wei Dong said.

"The aura is 2.8 meters." Luo Yu lowered his head and ate the meat.

Wei Dong noticed that his hands were shaking slightly.

He was afraid, he was afraid of death.

It's just that he has been covering up his inner fear with a lot of words and meaningless looks, and the nerves that support him don't collapse.

Wei Dong was silent and buried himself in eating, but a strong sourness surged in his heart, eyes and nose.

In order to have the strength to kill monsters at night, everyone was very full. Ke Xun not only made kebabs, but also re-cooked a pot of meat porridge, mashed the fish and cut the mutton into thin slices and cooked them into the porridge together. , sprinkled a little salt and chopped green onion, and then mixed a wild vegetable, got candy ginger.

"It's better than what my Aunt Liu made." Luo Meng covered his bulging stomach. He ate the most, as if to fight his fear with fullness.

"It's getting dark." Li Yi looked at the sky outside the door and asked, "Should we also take some defensive measures?"

Said and looked at Shao Ling.

Shao Ling nodded: "Yes, you can't just attack without defense. Ladies can hide in the lower cabin on the deck, it should be safer than the top."

"I'm going to stay on it," Serge said, "I don't like being in the dark."

"I want to be with my boyfriend." Fang Fei also said, and walked to the place where the crossbow was placed, bent down and picked up a crossbow.

"Me too." Chen Xinai also followed him and picked up a crossbow.

Wei Dong: "...The girls this year are really fierce, I appreciate it!"

"In that case," Shao Ling did not interfere with the three people's wishes, "then we should use the atrium where we dined just now as our base. If the situation is not right, everyone will hide in the atrium, and we'd better strengthen the doors and windows. "

"I don't think that's a good idea," Zhu Haowen, who raised the objection, said calmly and calmly, "It's a closed space, the only exits are doors and windows, and once we are in danger, we will be thrown into the pot. ."

"So you mean everyone spread out?" Liu Yanlei looked at him scrutiny.

"Yes." Zhu Haowen answered without hesitation.

"I don't know how many American horror films or disaster films you've watched," Liu Yanlei stared at Zhu Haowen with a slight sarcasm on his lips, "The supporting characters who were dropped by cannon fodder basically died in 'Separate Action' and '' Do your own thing."

Liu Yanlei probably works as a salesman in the real world, and his eloquence is quite good: "Americans have too strong a personal heroism complex, so most of the people who survived in the end were individuals and protagonists. Can't this give you an idea? Is it a warning? The more dangerous and unpredictable the situation is, the more we should unite and concentrate all our strengths. What is a united city? The best defense is not a city wall or a weapon, but the concerted efforts of everyone!"

Zhu Haowen looked at Liu Yanlei, who was slightly excited, his tone was still calm and almost cold: "The power of painting is irresistible, whether it is one person or a hundred people, they will die when they are damned. Here, the best defense Not manpower, but the most unreliable 'luck', brains, and seals."

"Then let me ask you," Liu Yanlei refused to show weakness at all, took a half step forward and looked at Zhu Haowen, "Have any of your previous paintings been served in one pot?"

"No." Zhu Haowen looked at him blankly.

"Isn't that what it is?" Liu Yanlei sneered, "That means that the rule of painting is that there is no such thing as one pot, otherwise all the people will be overwhelmed as soon as you enter the painting, what is it playing?! Since you say that survival depends on luck, then no matter what. We all work together or work separately, if we are lucky, we can live, and if we are unlucky, we will die. In this case, why not increase our strength together and seek more possibilities for survival and even counterattack?"

"I think Liu Yanlei is right." Li Yi said solemnly.

"I think so too." Yu Long nodded.

The eyes of the newcomers all turned to Shao Ling, as if to set his attitude as a benchmark.

Shao Ling's eyes swept across Mu Yiran, and then fell on Zhu Haowen's face: "If we are on land at the moment, then I also don't think it is a good choice for everyone to hide in a closed room.

"But in fact, we are now on a ship in the ocean, and the ship itself is an open closed space, because we can't go anywhere except on this ship.

"Since we are already in a closed space, it is better to have shelter than no shelter. We don't know if those sea monsters have the ability to penetrate the wall, but even if there is only a one in ten thousand possibility, we have to try. Take self-insurance, don't you

"What's more, we don't know what the 'rule of death' you are talking about in this painting will be, since everything is possible, what if the rules this time require us to help each other to survive

"So, I also agree with Liu Yanlei, people are more powerful. And one person is short, three are long. Of course, we do not force anyone to have their own opinions, everything is voluntary."

As he spoke, he glanced at the people who had not yet made a statement with inquiring eyes, and the newcomers standing beside or behind him also pressed their gazes on Zhu Haowen, as if he was the horror movie or In disaster films, mindless characters who create divisions and cannon fodder.

When Shao Ling's eyes met Ke Xun's, he saw the boy raised his lips and smiled, stretched his arm, put it on Zhu Haowen's shoulders, and wrapped his arms around him, if there were any Wudi formed a protective wall, blocking all the unfriendly sights that were cast over the wall for him.

"You guys are right," Ke Xun looked at Shao Ling with a light smile, "Thinking in one place and working hard in one place is a necessary condition for the success of every team. I appreciate your spirit of cooperation. But what? , I have been engaged in teamwork for many years, and I would like to share an experience with you here.”

Zhu Haowen looked at him slightly.

This guy, who is always used to showing a sloppy and meaningless face in front of strangers, showed for the first time today the control and coercion that he used to be the leader of the first team.

"Thinking in one place doesn't mean you can only choose one solution to the problem; working hard in one place doesn't mean that all people must be gathered together." Ke Xun stood beside him with his head held high. , formed a tendency to look down on the new people in front of him, "In my opinion, thinking in one place does not refer to a unified solution to the problem, but to ensure that everyone has the ability to achieve a common goal, no matter what happens. A firm belief that will never be shaken in any emergencies. As long as everyone can guarantee that they will not waver, will not back down, will not give up, and will not have disagreements, then all roads lead to Rome, so why should they care about using different ideas and methods? to achieve the goal?"

Zhu Haowen listened quietly, and suddenly he could imagine how this guy led his team to be invincible on the battlefield like a battlefield in his student days - he must be a very good captain, a good captain.

"As for the strength to go to one place, holding a group to keep warm is only its initial stage." Ke Xun's voice was firm and steady, and it seemed that he had said similar speech many times, "The best team action is not Living and dying together in a neat and tidy way, but a comprehensive, multi-angle, layered, flexible, wide-coverage and diversified cooperation can trigger more possibilities and the potential of each member, and ultimately achieve our common goal. ."

Having said this, Ke Xun smiled: "So, rather than a single collective action, I am more inclined to explore several ways to deal with it. I stand by Hao Wen'er."

Zhu Haowen stared at the deck below his feet, silently feeling the warm and powerful aura surrounding him.

Suddenly, I felt that even if I died in this painting, I would have no regrets.
