The challenger team floated on the vast sea, and no accidents happened all morning.
However, today's sunshine is too dazzling. Since ten o'clock in the morning, the scorching sun has been scorching the sea like a huge fireball. The temperature of the sea water has continued to rise, and everyone is about to peel off due to the strong ultraviolet rays.
Normally, everyone must take sun protection measures when going to sea. Men will wear sun hats and sunglasses, and girls will carefully apply sunscreen on their cheeks, neck, and arms, but the secret room world does not have such conditions.
After being exposed to the scorching sun all morning, everyone collectively turned dark.
By noon, Xiao Lou's cheeks and neck were all red from the sun, and obvious dividing lines appeared on his neck. His skin was originally fair, but the redness was very obvious after being sunburned, and his whole face looked like a ripe apple.
.
Shao Qingge also felt uncomfortable being exposed and couldn't help but ask: "Old Mo, will Zhou Chang's secret room clear the data?"
In the previous secret room, the injuries sustained by the challenger after leaving would automatically recover, and of course the sunburn would automatically change back. But this was the first time for everyone to experience Zhou Chang's secret room. After hearing this, everyone looked at Lao Mo expectantly.
.
Lao Mo smiled bitterly and said: "If you are injured in Zhou Chang's secret room, you will be taken back to the main city and the data will not be cleared."
Ye Qi couldn't help complaining: "The sun is so strong, if we continue to float on the sea for four days, we will be burned into black charcoal, right? After returning to the main city, each one will be like going to Africa to dig coal?"
Long Sen was generous and said optimistically: "The bronze skin is not bad, it looks healthy!"
Qu Wanyue looked at everyone, her eyes full of worry: "Those who like to sunbathe at the beach will also take sun protection measures. If they continue to be exposed to the sun like this, not only will they get darker, but I am even more worried that everyone will get sunburned.
"
Xiao Lou nodded: "That's right, now everyone's skin just turns red and black. If the sun continues to shine, the skin will become severely dehydrated and tight, and it will itch, and even cause severe burning and stinging sensations; if it gets worse, it will peel off.
, blisters, please be careful. If you feel itchy later, don’t scratch it with your nails. There are a lot of bacteria in your nails, so if you scratch it at this time, it is likely to cause infection.”
Ye Qi already felt that his neck was itchy. He was about to reach out and scratch it, but when he heard this, he immediately retracted his paw.
Yu Hanjiang is not afraid of the sun. He often goes out on missions when the sun is shining. His skin is not white to begin with, so it doesn’t matter if he is a darker shade. However, the ultraviolet rays at sea are too strong. When Xiao Lou was exposed to the sun, his entire face turned red. Yu Hanjiang
Somewhat distressed.
Professor Xiao is not as thick-skinned as him. He must not have suffered this kind of thing when he usually stays in the office. If his skin peels all over his body due to the sun, it will definitely be uncomfortable, right? Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou worriedly and suggested: "Do you want to
Make a sunshade and hang it on the boat? If you continue to be exposed to the sun like this, not only will your skin be sunburned, I'm worried that everyone will get heat stroke."
Xiao Lou thought carefully and took out the [White Ling Card] and [Scissor Card] from the card bag.
He cut the white silk into several strips of cloth, then drew several rings and cut them into wires. He then "sewed" the two strips of cloth together with metal wire. After all the strips of cloth were connected, they were as long as
It's just wide enough to cover the escape boat.
He also made some metal wires and bent them into arcs, passing them through the front, middle, and back of the curtain, and then fixed the metal wires on both sides of the escape boat's hull. In this way, the huge curtain was
The entire escape boat can be "covered" inside.
This is how a simple awning is made.
The white awning is not very effective in shading the sun. It looks like a funeral when it covers the hull...
However, the conditions of the secret room are limited, so we can only make do with it.
Xiao Lou looked at Ye Qi's big travel bag and said, "Put the food inside into Longsen's bag and let me use the bag."
In the past two days, everyone had been eating food from Ye Qi's bag, which was already mostly empty. Ye Qi immediately followed suit and put the remaining mineral water and biscuits into Long Sen's backpack.
Xiao Lou took his schoolbag, picked up the scissors and cut it open flexibly.
His slender fingers seemed to be performing magic tricks. In the blink of an eye, he cut the schoolbag into eight pieces of rags. Then, he used a compass to measure the size, draw a circle, and bend it - he actually made eight simple pieces for everyone.
sun hat!
Xiao Lou smiled and distributed the hats to everyone: "This way you won't get sunburned."
Teammates: "…………"
Awesome!
Ye Qi took the hat and put it on his head, and said with emotion: "Almighty Professor Xiao, is there anything else you can't do? When we go to the wild in the future, you can also use a compass to make an iron pot for cooking?"
Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes and joked: "Professor Xiao is really a must-have for home travel. If any girl could marry you, she would be really happy... right, Captain Yu?"
Yu Hanjiang was shot while lying down. He turned around and looked at him coldly: "What do you want me to do? Are you still in the mood to joke?"
Shao Qingge shrugged: "It would be too boring if we didn't laugh. Are we going to be in a daze at sea for four days?"
Yu Hanjiang didn't answer and frowned unhappily.
This was not the first time that Mr. Shao had made a joke, but for some reason, when Shao Qingge made fun of Xiao Lou just now, Yu Hanjiang felt inexplicably angry. Finding that Xiao Lou himself didn't mind, Yu Hanjiang ignored Shao Qingge and turned around.
Look into the distance.
More than forty boats of the challengers were drifting aimlessly on the sea. Soon, everyone discovered that Xiao Lou and his crew had actually made a homemade awning for their escape boat, and the eight people were wearing "
hat"?
Someone nearby exclaimed: "Damn it, the people on that boat are so talented, let's make a sunshade cloth too!"
Someone said excitedly: "My schoolbag is empty, take out the scissors, hurry up, I'm going to peel off my skin from the sun!"
So, everyone followed suit. Some people drew cards like umbrellas and immediately held them up to block the sun. Some people used clothes as awnings, and others put wooden boards on top of the escape boats to block the sun. What's more, they put plastic food on them.
The bags are sewn together one by one to make a colorful umbrella.
A girl picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "I have [Tool Card; Needle and Thread] here. I can help you sew umbrellas. If you need it, come to me by boat. The crafting fee is 100,000 gold coins per time! Bring the biscuits and chocolates you have eaten."
Just use plastic bags and make plastic parasols!”
Xiao Lou: "..."
There is no shortage of smart people in this world, and this girl actually started a business of "sewing umbrellas" on the spot.
At noon, with the sun hanging high above our heads, most of the challengers let their escape boats stay in this area to prepare for lunch. The girl with needlework was quickly welcomed by everyone, and immediately someone came with a lot of plastic bags and rags.
I went to find a girl to help me make parasols and hats, and the girl made millions of gold in the blink of an eye -
currency.
Immediately afterwards, another girl next to me started shouting: "Does anyone need to use the bathroom? We have temporary toilets here with your own flushing equipment. You can come here to use the toilet for 50,000 gold coins per time!"
50,000 is equivalent to 500 yuan.
Ye Qi exclaimed: "This is the most expensive toilet I have ever heard of! Is it a toilet made of gold?!"
The girl was the one who gave them a [temporary toilet] tool card early this morning. As expected, she had two cards in her hand, and she started doing business at this time. There were challengers around who were scolding: "Damn, I just went to the toilet once."
It’s so expensive, are you trying to steal money?” “There’s no way, you can’t get it in your pants, right? Conditions at sea are limited, and having a toilet is better than not having one at all…” “I can’t hold it in anymore, I’m going to use it!”
Gradually, some challengers went to the restroom with strange expressions, and a long queue formed at the door of the girl's "temporary restroom". The girl had a great time collecting money.
Xiao Lou helplessly raised his forehead: "There are so many talents."
It's sad to think about it, everyone is like this because they are forced by this weird world.
The main city has beautiful residences, delicious food, and low prices. As long as challengers earn some gold coins, they can easily own a house, a car, and even a villa. But you cannot bring any items into the secret room world, you can only bring
Card, it’s really embarrassing to encounter this situation of “no place to relieve yourself”.
After drifting at sea for seven days, the human body has to metabolize. If this girl didn't happen to have a toilet tool sign, everyone might be in a worse situation. So, it's not wrong for her to charge people to go to the toilet. It's expensive.
It seems that if you want to clear the secret room in the future, you will have to collect daily necessities cards. The Xiao Lou team has too few daily necessities cards.
***
Compared with the collective diarrhea on the first day and the typhoon and rain on the second day, the third day seemed a little calmer. Probably to give the challengers a little buffer, there were no accidents throughout the whole day.
The only uncomfortable thing is the direct sunlight on the sea. Even though everyone was inspired by Xiao Lou's method and made various colorful awnings, the sunlight on the sea was too strong. In the afternoon, everyone's skin began to become red, swollen and stinging.
Some girls with sensitive skin began to peel off like crazy and get blisters. The entire challenger team was completely sunburned, and curses could be heard from time to time.
The Xiao Lou team is relatively good, no one has lost their skin.
In the evening, everyone parked the boat again and had a simple dinner.
Today's sunset is still beautiful, but everyone is too sunbathed to enjoy it. They all lean on the boat and close their eyes to relax.
Yu Hanjiang looked at the sunset on the horizon and thought about something.
Lu Jiuchuan disappeared last night and has not appeared again, and it is unknown where he went.
Seeing Lu Jiuchuan in this world, Yu Hanjiang's long-held beliefs suddenly suffered a strong impact - because he knew very well that Lu Jiuchuan was cremated in reality, and he didn't know how he could go back in this situation?
Go back and become a pile of ashes?
How credible are the gatekeepers' words? Should they continue to go forward with the hope of "going back"? Yu Hanjiang was completely unsure, and he was shaken for the first time.
Xiao Lou noticed his thoughts and asked softly in his mind: "Captain Yu, have you ever heard of rebirth?"
Yu Hanjiang was startled: "What do you mean?"
Captain Yu, who is serious, obviously does not read online novels.
Xiao Lou explained with a smile: "There are many rebirth novels in popular online novels now, which tell the story of the protagonist who dies suddenly and unexpectedly and is reborn and returns to the past to change history. Although those novels are all fantasy, we are now in a
This world cannot be explained scientifically. Maybe there is such a miracle as 'rebirth'. Therefore, even if your brother turns into ashes in reality, there is still no hope of survival - if we can go back to the past
, didn’t he come back to life?”
Yu Hanjiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he clenched his fingers into fists. He turned back to look at Xiao Lou and said in disbelief: "You mean, if the gatekeeper lets us go back, he will probably send us back to the past again?"
Xiao Lou nodded: "In reality, we should all be dead. The gatekeepers can't let us go back as corpses, right? So I speculate that the gatekeepers are likely to control the flow of time, allowing us to go back to the past and change history.
."
Yu Hanjiang: "………………"
Professor Xiao is worthy of being a highly intelligent academic who figured out the core rules of the secret room world so quickly.
--time.
The flow rate of time in each secret room is different. Sometimes, three days have passed in the Hearts Chamber and 30 minutes have passed in the Clubs Chamber, but everyone can meet in the Spades Chamber. Obviously, the gatekeeper has the ability to control time.
Moreover, the existence of free people also proves that the gatekeepers can let everyone go back to the past at will. For example, Xie Xinghe from Maplewood High School in Hearts 3 is now a policeman, but they have returned to Xie Xinghe’s boyhood; Hearts
Li Mo, who is 4 years old, is now the largest real estate developer. However, they returned to the high-speed train many years ago and experienced the story of Li Mo secretly plotting to kill his scumbag father Li **.
Going back to the past is easy for the gatekeepers.
Xiao Lou's speculation is reasonable - only by going back to the past can accidents be avoided.
It is true that Lu Jiuchuan died. Yu Hanjiang saw with his own eyes that his body was cremated and turned into a box of ashes. This is an unchangeable fact. But, what about three years ago? At that time, Lu Jiuchuan was still a heroic soldier, a member of the Navy's sharp arrow assault team.
Major Lu of the team!
If time went back to three years ago, wouldn't Lu Jiuchuan be reborn?
Knowing in advance that accidents would occur during the mission, he could naturally find ways to avoid risks and not sacrifice himself during the mission.
The more Yu Hanjiang thought about it, the more excited he became - Xiao Lou's words completely solved the mystery in his heart!
You can trust what the gatekeepers say.
All people who have died have the opportunity to be reborn after clearing this world!
Reborn into the past, before the accident happened.
At that moment, the ecstasy in Yu Hanjiang's heart was simply beyond words. He held Xiao Lou's hand hard, and the light of regaining his faith came into his deep eyes: "Professor Xiao, you are right, we can go back to the past.
, change history, so that dead people can be reborn, and my brother may also survive!"
Ever since he met his brother, he has been confused. He doesn't know how someone who has become ashes can go back.
Now, with Professor Xiao's explanation, his mind suddenly cleared up and he suddenly became enlightened.
If we could really go back to the past, everyone would live well in reality...
He must be transferred to the Jiangzhou Police Force earlier and get to know Xiao Lou earlier.
