Official Edition Part 2 Chapter 9 The Race with the Longest Hands
In October 2099, I once again stepped into the dream island where Taiyi headquarters is located. But this time I came here not as a cleaner, but as an intern. Together with ten qualifying groups and three
Among independent qualifying candidates, a total of 103 people were actually selected.
After entering Dream Island, we walked towards the core of Taiyi Island under the leadership of Director Jiang.
It feels like everything on Taiyi Island is more than fifty years advanced than the outside world. Except for the main building, there seems to be no building higher than three floors. There are exotic flowers and beautiful low-rise buildings everywhere. But the main building is full of
It is 260 stories high, and the last ten floors are a sky city floating in the air. And I heard from Brother Ma that there is also a huge underwater city here. It is rare to see transportation here, because with the help of the new aircraft Taiyi Island
Everyone can fly quickly in the sky. Roads are no longer a need for transportation, but a need for people's leisure. Therefore, it is difficult to see modern things on the ground. Instead, there is traffic, green trees and red flowers, and a sense of nature.
Breath. People a few decades ago would have had a hard time imagining the era of the demise of the automobile and the revolution it would bring to the naturalization of the global environment.
When everyone looked around in surprise, we had arrived at the white main building. What surprised us was that there was a large group of fully armed soldiers standing at the entrance of the main building today.
"Everyone go through the first floor of the building and gather at the inner courtyard assembly hall." Director Jiang said loudly to everyone. However, the first few students who wanted to enter the building were pushed back.
"These students are all here for internship in your company. Why don't you let them in?" Director Jiang hurriedly stepped forward to explain. It seemed that he didn't know what was going on.
Upon hearing the director's inquiry, a soldier dressed as a colonel stood up, gave a military salute and then said seriously to Director Jiang: "I'm sorry, today is the day for the Taiyi Special Forces to report on their duties, and they will arrive in two minutes.
Until then, everyone is off limits.”
"Ah, is it the Taiyi Special Forces, known as the most powerful warrior group in the world? It's amazing. I didn't expect to see these great legends today." After hearing the news, Director Jiang was obviously a little excited.
"Everyone else has gone up, and now there are only about three of the last group. But you'd better be careful, the most terrifying death is also inside..." Before the colonel could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of an airship landing.
.
The colonel quickly stood at attention, and then shouted very energetically: "Stand at attention! Salute." Then hundreds of soldiers in front of us straightened their bodies neatly, and respectfully raised their right hands to the airship that had just arrived.
Dozens of soldiers who opened the way got off the airship first. It took about five minutes before three distinctive figures emerged from the airship hatch. The first figure who stepped out looked like a World War II soldier in terms of temperament.
German officer. He is a handsome young man about 180cm tall with golden hair. The military uniform tightly binds his waist like a girl wearing a waist armor. The flat-topped patent leather military cap is upright.
Wearing it on his head gave people a meticulous impression. Everything about him was so eye-catching, except that his face was mostly covered by a mask, so he couldn't see clearly. He didn't seem to notice the salute to the soldiers.
As if arriving, he walked straight towards us.
Immediately after, the two people behind also stepped out. They were two men with great contrast. One was a short, stocky old man over fifty years old, and the other was a tall, burly, middle-aged officer who looked a bit vulgar at first glance. And these two men
People also wear strange masks.
"What are they like? What are they like?" Yuxiang, who is not very tall, and Xiaozhu, who is curious, are jumping around anxiously behind me, trying to see clearly. I haven't answered Yuxiang.
Nizi couldn't help but jumped on my back.
"Ah, they are coming..." Before I could stand still, I heard the little pig yelling behind me, and then he pushed me on my back. As a result, I stumbled and fell out, and pounced like a hungry dog.
With gorgeous movements, she carried Yuxiang and threw herself directly at the feet of the first mysterious person.
I was still lying on the ground when I heard a very unpleasant snort. Suddenly the whole place became silent. But the officer didn't look at me. Maybe a little person like me was not worthy of his looking at him.
He stepped over me with a very graceful gesture, and then disappeared at the entrance to the bright rhythm of his military boots.
While I was still in a daze, a woman appeared at the entrance of the building. Soon, everyone's eyes fell on her. Obviously, the uniform she wore showed her noble status.
...However, her real charm is that her person always overshadows her clothes. Any clothes will never be eye-catching on her. This designer suit is not eye-catching on her; it is just a frame.
What attracts attention is her - capable, cool, natural, elegant, and at the same time full of affinity...
I turned my head and looked at the equally beautiful Meijuan who was mixed in the crowd. Meijuan seemed to be looking at this girl who knew me very well with a complicated look. Looking carefully, I had to admit that she looked different no matter what clothes she wore.
There is indeed a slight difference between the good-looking Meijuan and her who outshone all her clothes. When she walked over, even the two mysterious people walking behind actually nodded to her respectfully.
Yes, she is Tao Ziyan, the executive director of Taiyi Technology Department, who is known as the world's most talented woman. A talented girl who graduated with a doctorate at the age of sixteen. I remember that the media once called Ziyan the world's most talented girl, but she was only 16 years old at the time.
But she stood up and said: "My beauty has nothing to do with my genius. And although the little girl is still beautiful, I'm afraid she is not the most beautiful girl in the world. If you say so, the most beautiful girl in the world will
Very unhappy."
"You two, hurry up, everyone is waiting." It seemed that Minister Tao came down to greet these mysterious people. So the two of them quickened their pace and walked into the building.
But when they passed by me, the vulgar man looked at me curiously, and his piercing and breathtaking eyes immediately impressed me. And I seemed to have a feeling in my heart: "I seem to have seen you somewhere."
The strange feeling of "passing each other". After watching for a moment, he smiled and nodded gently to me before entering the building.
"Does this man know you?" Yuxiang, whose face was still dusty, asked curiously.
"I don't know him. It's best not to have anything to do with such a man."
After passing through several strange doors, we entered the center of the first floor of the building. There was actually such a large garden square inside the building. Looking up, we saw lush green trees, simmering exotic flowers, and a clear stream.
Deep in the flowers and trees, it twists and turns under the stone crevices, all the way through the flat and wide center, and finally merges into a small pool. Tens of thousands of people are already standing on the other side of the stream. I didn’t expect that there are so many practitioners besides us.
.
As soon as we stood still, Sister Zi Yan, Taiyi's technical director, appeared in front of us. It was strange, wasn't she going to attend the work report meeting upstairs? How could she have time to pay attention to us insignificant interns? Also, although Taiyi's main building
It's quite big, but this vast wilderness, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people at the same time, is still too exaggerated.
While I was thinking about it, Minister Tao had already begun to give us a welcome speech:
"We are 60,000 people who have been carefully selected or recommended from famous universities around the world such as Massachusetts, Yale, West Point, Oxford, Cambridge, Royal Naval Academy, Tokyo University, Waseda University, Tsinghua, Peking University, National University of Defense Technology, and Kanna Academy.
Outstanding students. The first thing that needs to be stated here is that originally we selected you to intern at Taiyi headquarters with the idea of selecting members of Taiyi New Century. However, because this move was too big, governments around the world were alarmed by this draft.
And we know that our testing world has been hidden for decades. Due to the 150 years of peace in the world, the national sentiments of many countries have seriously deteriorated, so the heads of state hope that through this time, all college students in the new century
Compete in the new world and examine the quality of the new generation of young people in our country. Since we have received nearly 10 billion yuan in financial sponsorship from various countries, we have decided to expand the scope of recruitment, and the entire selection process will be tracked by Taiyi Media.
The report is then spread to every corner of the world by major media in various countries."
After a slight pause, Minister Tao continued: "However, because everyone must enter Taiyi's technical department during the competition, and the technical department is the most dense department in Taiyi, so everyone must be mentally prepared that they may not be able to leave this department within a year.
Island. And if the students who are not selected will undergo a thorough brainwashing, you will lose all memories after entering the island. This may be inhumane, but you can choose to leave now."
Of course, no one chooses to leave, because except for those of us non-staff who came here because of Master Bai, everyone here may have shouldered the great trust of the country, so there is no possibility of quitting. But what surprised us the most
Yes, the longest internship period is actually one year. Of course, based on the principle of survival of the fittest, most people may return home within a few months.
Suddenly, Minister Tao changed the subject and said loudly: "Of course, we actually don't need so many participants. The specific demand is..." As he said this, a strange smile appeared on the minister's face: "Probably a classmate.
One-fifth of."
As soon as these words came out, the situation exploded. Everyone was smart, so they naturally understood what this meant very quickly. The glasses guy came over and said to me in a low voice: "Although these situations are shocking, but
No matter what happens, we must not fight among ourselves."
I didn't answer, because now I want to know what kind of bad water is in the belly of Minister Tao, a cunning woman.
"The first test everyone will face is how to get out of this house."
As soon as these words came out, all the students below laughed. Who can't do it before going out? That's not a 100% pass rate. This Minister Tao really lived up to the title of the most talented woman in the world.
"But please keep in mind that we only need one-fifth of the people. By the way, each student will get a tool in a while. Because we have made special arrangements, in this room, even if you kill someone, no one will know
." After saying that, Minister Tao jumped off the podium and went out through a side door.
Before everyone could realize what happened, countless packages suddenly fell from the sky. So everyone scrambled to grab one.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing. We will have lunch in six hours. Students who are not active in eating are not suitable for us." This time, Minister Tao announced to us through the radio,
But this sentence made me sure of one thing...
"Oops, there are several students in front of me who have already rushed through the small door that Minister Tao passed through just now!" Suddenly the small speaker next to me screamed.
We looked up and sure enough... hundreds of people were already crowded in front of the small door. If we go by what Minister Tao said just now, the 80% in the back row would have been eliminated, including us of course.
"Commander, what should we do?" As he said that, Xiaozhu took out his weapon from the backpack he found. It turned out to be one of the seven weapons used to kill people and steal goods - the watermelon knife.
"I understand, I'm going to fight them right now!" Xiaozhu excitedly shook the watermelon knife in his hand.
Brother Ma also nodded in agreement, and then took out his weapon - a carrot gun.
"I don't know what to do, but at least we, the 502 quartet, should never be separated!" Before the disgusting sissy voice on the trumpet could finish, a riot broke out in front of the small door.
One classmate probably had a submachine gun in his bag, and the people in front of him wouldn’t let him do anything. So he kept on doing nothing, picked up the machine gun, and started shooting wildly at the door. The other student probably also understood.
, so he pulled the explosive pack in his hand, and suddenly blood and flesh flew everywhere in front of the small door... For a moment, a spectacular scene appeared in the small room. The classmates standing on the periphery concentrated their firepower and fired at the door desperately, and the flames engulfed the door.
The entire exit seemed to have become the entrance to hell. However, some students still risked their lives to pass through the fire net and rushed in. Of course, more students fell in a pool of blood.
Seeing this formation, the little pig wielding the watermelon knife couldn't help but stick out his tongue.
Yuxiang also frowned and said, "Are Taiyi Company and these people crazy? For the sake of a job, it's OK to kill someone."
Hearing what Yuxiang said, Dong Dongbao, who was standing next to us, smiled and said, "Hey, the occurrence of this kind of thing further confirms my idea. Those classmates who opened fire and killed people are not really crazy, maybe they are
The students who understood the truth first.”
"Can you kill someone if you understand the truth?" Yuxiang looked at the four-eyed frog in disgust.
“There is only one place where killing someone can be illegal”
"Where?"
"The virtual world created by Taiyi."
Hearing Dong Dongbao's words, Yuxiang seemed to understand a little, but she still couldn't completely believe it: "How did we enter the virtual space? I don't remember that I turned on the biological computer to connect to the network."
"I don't know much about this. Maybe we can find out as long as we can leave here. This is Taiyi headquarters after all, and there are many latest technologies that we don't know about."
"What if we can't get out?"
"Then you have been brainwashed." Si Yan adjusted his glasses proudly, and then exclaimed: "Hey, where are the people?"
Only then did he notice that a group of us were already standing in front of a small pool formed by streams. Standing in the center was actually classmate Meijuan.
"This pool is very strange." Meijuan said to a few of us in an unhurried tone.
Brother Xiao Ma also nodded in agreement: "There are closed spaces all around, and it seems that the only thing connecting to the outside world is that door. In fact, it is not the case. This bottomless small pool formed by the streams is the most suspicious."
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at the few of us at a loss.
"Idiot, it's too late to grab the small door in front anyway, why don't you try this pool." After that, the little pig jumped in first, and then we saw a burst of bubbles in the pool, and then there was no movement.
"He disappeared. I think there are only two results: he died! He went to another world." A group of us continued to conduct in-depth analysis around the pool. The first person to speak was Xiao Ma.
"What about the second possibility!" Xiao Xiaoxiao asked Brother Ma eagerly.
"I already said it!"
"Didn't dying mean the same thing as going to another world?" When the little speaker asked, I had already hung a big stone around his neck.
"Feel the difference for yourself." As he said that, Brother Ma kicked him down. After a scream, the small speaker disappeared.
"It's so scary. I think they must all be dead." Dong Dongbao appeared behind us at some point. Then everyone started talking about it again.
Meijuan ignored us and put her ears to the water, as if listening to something.
"Wow! Classmate Zhu Dachang, why are you playing with water here?"
"Meijuan, what are you talking about?" I asked loudly.
"Classmate Gou Luck, look, there is a big marshmallow in the sky!" Meijuan still ignored us and just talked to herself. This line, this tone...it is exactly like the two previous ones.
Idiots talking to each other in another world.
"Oh, it seems they have gone to another world." As he said this, Dong Dongbao jumped in with a plop. Then everyone jumped in like chasing ducks.
"Classmate Meijuan, you jump first, and I will stop for you." I looked at the almost crazy crowd behind me.
"Thank you, but you don't have to worry about me." Meijuan handed me a big stone and gave me a pure smile. She looked like an angel who accidentally fell into the world. Who would reject an angel?
What about the request.
So I held the stone and jumped down... When I was about to enter the water, I wanted to have a heart-to-heart smile with Meijuan, but what I saw was her sinister smile. And I seemed to hear what she said: "
Farewell, you bunch of idiots..."
I didn't hear clearly what was happening behind me, because the light above my head suddenly disappeared. It was like the small pool was covered with a lid. I suddenly felt suffocated. I don't quite understand what happened. The only thing I can do now is:
The only thing is to keep going downstream and find the water before losing consciousness.
