24 hours is a long time, but for the four people in the glass hall, this long time seems to have lost its meaning.
The crowds of spectators at the corridor changed one after another, but in the glass hall, except for the occasional soft sound of Qiu Yu turning the pages of a book, and the clock slowly returning to zero above everyone's head, there was no other movement.
"Snapped"
Qiu Yu closed the book. Qian Xiao and the weirdo wrapped around him were awakened from their strange state by the sound, and their eyes instinctively looked at the head of the man who had been standing.
00.00.29
Qian Xiao turned to look at the empty corridor again, and swallowed hard, "How about we go in and hide for a while, and then come out after the results are known?"
Calmness is not easy to fake, especially when time is passing by.
Qiu Yu's hand holding the book shook. He agreed with Qian Xiao's point of view, but time did not allow him to agree. With his lower than normal athletic ability, he would not be able to escape in the remaining time. The only thing he could do
All I can do is watch the final countdown.

"Stop?" Looking at the timer that stopped at the last second, Qian Xiao's tone was unclear whether he was happy or disappointed. But when his eyes swept over the heads of the weirdo and Qiu Yu, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, "We
The timer is still running, are you trying to kill us all at the same time?"
"It seems that the regulators don't want us to see the results of the end of the period first. There are still more than two minutes on our heads. This is the last time for us to think about whether we should continue to wait here or withdraw our bets."
The disciple's mentality and rationality have stopped at the cliff." Qiu Yu said.
The weirdo stood up from the chair, but did not leave, obviously leaving the decision to the other two.
As the countdown reached zero, Qiu Yu closed her eyes.
Qian Xiao hurriedly stamped his feet on the spot, but did not affect Qiu Yu. Seeing Qian Xiao's actions, the weirdo who originally wanted to say something just stood quietly.
Just when the two of them thought that Qiu Yu would just wait for the timer to end, Qiu Yu suddenly opened his eyes, "I feel... we should wait."
"Master..." Qian Xiao gritted his teeth, "Okay, I will continue to believe in Master's feelings."
When he heard Yi Qiuyu use the word "feeling", the weirdo walked quickly towards the aisle, but stopped when he was about to enter the aisle.
The time on Qiu Yu's head stopped at the last second, followed by Qian's smile. Then, their eyes stopped on the only time that was still beating. Even the one who arrived in the glass hall had been standing there.
The people who had not moved also recovered from their petrified state and looked at the top of the strange man's head.
In the suffocating tension, time slowly turned to 1, which was like a signal. Qiuyu felt that there seemed to be some changes in his body, but one second was not enough for people to appreciate it. The time on the heads of the four people
At the same time it became 0.
When time returned to zero, a black and white TV appeared in a corner of the hall. In Qiuyu's opinion, it did not appear out of thin air, but it should have always been there, just whenever someone's eyes came into contact with it.
When the TV is on, it will automatically slide away, making the TV a natural blind spot in the line of sight. Until it suddenly plays the picture, no one will notice its existence.
The TV screen was very small and the picture was very dark. Several people had to get very close to see it clearly. The TV was showing ordinary life scenes of a group of humans. At first, there was nothing special about it, but as the time on the screen went by,
, the quality of life of these people has declined, and the playback speed has begun to increase in stages. After a few dozen seconds, the people on the screen have begun to fight for a little bit of food.
Watching the content on the TV, Qianxiao frowned more and more. He suddenly pointed at the screen, a close-up of a person who starved to death because he couldn't get food, and exclaimed, "Master, that's you, you starved to death."
Yes, this...this is for us."
The playback on the screen continued, and after dozens of seconds, when all the substances were exhausted, a scene of people eating people appeared.
Attracted by the TV and walking into the crowd in the glass hall, a young girl suddenly cried and vomited after seeing this. The boy next to her stood there with a pale face, looking at it in horror.
Watch this scene on the screen.
Qiu Yu glanced at them from the corner of her eye. The girl who was eaten on TV looked exactly like her, and the person who ate her was the boy standing next to her now.
After a while, the boy finally reacted, picked up the chair that Qiu Yu had just sat on, and rushed towards the TV. However, after taking a few steps, he was pushed to the ground by the people around him. The boy did not struggle or resist anymore, and just lay curled up like that.
Muffled cries were heard on the ground.
At this time, there were only broken bones on the TV.
"The road moving forward along the line of time has countless branches, but these branches are always included in two, the road of survival and the road of destruction." The scene just played was repeated on the TV, but this time it was played
But the voice of the regulator appeared, "You took steps towards the path of survival before the supplies were exhausted, so what you see now is the picture that will appear on the path you did not choose. If you choose destruction,
Road, before destruction, what you see will be the current road of survival. In particular, this is a parallel space calculation, and the results are accurate to every nanosecond of movement, so there will be no errors. So, now give
The instructions for teaching newbies just now.”
"Give me what you just said?" Qian Xiao's face trembled and he muttered in a low voice, "The instructions for teaching newbies should be given before starting, at least in the middle..."
"The first scene of novice teaching is to simulate the screening of civilization by the environment, and each survivor will get 1 survival point. The second scene is to simulate the reaction of civilization to the unknown environment, and each survivor will get 1 survival point.
The first stage of the three scenarios is to determine the civilization attributes. Each survivor will receive 1 survival point. Each active explorer will be awarded 16 survival points."
"Now the second phase of the third scene begins. The goal is to survive in the Initial Hall for 30 days, or to find another Initial Hall. Please continue to work hard."
Without giving anyone a chance to react, the TV instantly disappeared from everyone's eyes just as it appeared.
The time on everyone's heads once again started counting down from 24 hours.
Qiu Yu quickly sorted out the current information.
First, the 16-point reward should be given based on the index of four people.
Secondly, there is now a tiny 20 next to the time above Qian Xiao and the other two people, while the other people's is 3. This means that in addition to the 19-point reward they received directly, the four of them also received after the countdown.
A survival reward of 1 point. At the same time, this restarted timing shows that you will get another 1 point after the timing ends. If this timing continues, you will get a survival point reward of 1 point after every 24 hours.
Third, the two different halls correspond to the closed and open development methods of civilization respectively. There are a lot of materials in the first hall, but if a civilization does not go into a wider environment, it will be exhausted when those limited materials are exhausted.
In the end, there is only destruction. There seems to be nothing in the glass hall, but there is no lack of hope in the open world. After experiencing a little risk, you will be rewarded with an extremely broad road to survival and development.
Also, why the supervisor will explain before the next stage of novice teaching begins? It is probably because the next stage has reached a level of difficulty that cannot be completed without clear guidance.
But there are a few things that Qiu Yu cannot understand.
Why did the regulator give a reward of survival points at this time, but did not give a method or opportunity to redeem it.
If the Hall of Beginning that the Regulator refers to is the two halls we are now in, what does the other one refer to? Where is the other civilization now located?
The two paths pointed out by the regulator are two extremes, but no matter which one you choose, it should be correct in your own understanding. So, is one of them a path that involves destruction?
