Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]
Chapter 209 The Promised Land 3
After looking at everyone one by one with gentle and harmless eyes, the boatman named Hu Lala walked to the lakeside where the boat was approaching, and raised a small silver stick in his hand.
Zhou Qian and his party didn't know what the little stick was for.
But the remaining 10 survivors clearly knew.
When Zhou Qian looked at them, he could clearly see the great panic on their faces, and some of them knelt down directly.
At the same time, they started whispering——
"Grandma saw...they leveled a mountain with this silver stick."
"It's terrible...we can't offend the people of the Jin clan!"
"We must enter the Promised Land. Then we, too, will be able to use this stick!"
"I heard from my mother that our ancestors also manipulated such silver rods... We just lost the technology. We should get back what we lost!"
It appears the stick is some sort of fearsome weapon.It is mostly a high-tech product.
After Zhou Qian came to this conclusion, he heard Hu Lala continue: "All of you back up and walk to the mountain gate, keeping a distance of 500 meters from me. Um...very good.
"During the discussion, no one can take half a step towards me. Unless you have a result. Those who have a result, please come to me and tell me the answer yourself. Those who violate the rules, for example, come towards me Those who came here but didn’t bring me an answer, or those who tried to seize the ship, I’m sorry, but you violated the rules of the Jin Clan, I will kill you.”
When the word "kill" was mentioned, the boatman Hu Lala showed a little menace.But soon he recovered his gentle attitude, and said: "I can only give you one hour at most, please hurry up!"
When the boatman's voice fell, it coincided with the gentle wind blowing across the lake.
Under the action of the wind, the water mist rises and falls on the lake surface, but it is uncertain, just like the fate that everyone can see but cannot grasp.
This place is truly a wonderland.It makes people want to go through the heavy fog and see what kind of situation it will be in the paradise hidden in the deep clouds.
In order to step into such a fairyland, the people who come here have tried their best.
The six of Zhou Qian and his party were as immobile as a mountain, but the remaining 10 people had been discussing it thoroughly. Of course, they discussed it separately.Those who came here in the same boat formed a group, and they regarded all who disembarked from other boats as competitors.
During the period, Zhou Qian noticed that there were obvious differences between the two groups of people.The five people who arrived in the first group were taller, with the same characteristics of deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, and fair skin. They should come from the same place.
As for the other group of people, they were short and stocky, with darker skin, almost uniform width and collapse of the bridge of the nose, and at the same time, their hair was very thin.The place where this group of people lived in the past should be quite far away from the first group of people.
It took about half an hour, and the discussion with the first group of people probably came to a conclusion. A tall woman stood up and quickly walked towards the boatman by the lake.
The second group of people was in a hurry, as if unwilling to be outdone, a short and fat man jumped out and immediately caught up with the woman.He did not know where to find a stone, threw it straight forward, and hit the tall slender woman's ankle, the tall slender woman was caught off guard by the attack and fell to the ground suddenly.
The short and fat man smiled, ran a few steps, and quickly overtook her.
The tall slender woman clenched her fists, probably wanting to rush over to beat this man.But she finally withdrew her fist again, probably because she was worried that Hu Lala didn't like their fighting each other and would eliminate her and her tribe together.
Zhou Qian guessed right.The voice of the tall and slender clan quickly came from the side——
"Be smart and use another trick! Don't hit him!"
"The Promised Land is a holy land of peace, there is absolutely no fighting incident there!"
"The Jin clan is a civilized clan. They don't advocate using brute force to solve problems! Remember the words of the patriarch, hold back!"
"rely on you!"
Because of these words, the tall slender girl completely held back, and rushed towards the lake at an extremely fast speed, and soon caught up with the short and fat man.It makes people wonder what the two will do next.
Seeing this scene, He Xiaowei couldn't help swallowing. "We, we really don't have to do anything?"
Looking back at Zhou Qian, He Xiaowei found that he was staring at a man and a woman who were chasing him as if watching a play, and even took out a jelly candy, peeled it off, and put it in his mouth.
"Hey, Qian'er? Tell me, I'm really flustered." He Xiaowei couldn't help but said.
"Don't panic." Zhou Qian said with a smile, "Just watch the show."
watching a play?What show are you watching?Who will lose and who will win?
But what does this have to do with us?
Just as He Xiaowei was thinking this way, the two had already decided the winner in an instant.
Seeing that he was overtaken, the short and fat man made another dirty trick, unexpectedly repeated the old trick, took out another stone and threw it at the tall slender woman.
He obviously practiced this kind of trick on purpose, and the tall slender girl found that she couldn't dodge it.Anyway, there is no way to avoid it, so let's take advantage of it.She simply tried her best to jump up, forming a force to jump forward.Then she was hit, but because of the force she used before, the place where she fell was much closer to the lake than the short and fat man.
The tall slender girl's fall caused blood to flow from both knees, and she was gnashing her teeth in pain. She would definitely not be able to get up and overtake the short and fat man again.
At this moment, she didn't care about other things, she yelled loudly in the direction of the boatman like a broken jar, and quickly said the answer. "You need to row the boat seven times! The specific operation steps are——"
Rowing the boat from one bank to the other bank counts as one time; returning from the other bank also counts as one time.
Which group of people should be taken each time, which group should be empty and which group should not be taken... There are seven batches in total, and it is not easy to describe these things.
Naturally, the tall slender girl couldn't answer all the answers at once.
On the side, I don't know if the short and fat man is directly copying her answer, or if their group really came to the conclusion of the discussion, they were two seconds behind the tall slender woman and gave the exact same answer as her.
He Xiaowei couldn't help but said: "Hiss, since the Jin people are the most civilized and peaceful, and they like people with high moral values, this short and fat man is beating people with stones and is suspected of plagiarism... He and his clan must It's over. Will the tall team win?"
"With me here, will one of them win?" Zhou Qian asked back.
He Xiaowei: "Ah this? But you didn't do anything."
Zhou Qian said: "It's right not to do anything. Just wait and see."
So He Xiaowei waited and watched.
It took about 1 minute, and the two people reported the exact same answers one after another.
Hu Lala, the boatman, did not look at any of them, but instead focused on Zhou Qian and his party not far away.
He asked, "Aren't you going to give me an answer?"
Zhou Qian took a step forward, sighed deeply, with regret and sadness on his face, and endless loss in his eyes.He said: "We also want to... but we... don't know the answer."
Hu Lala, the boatman, asked him: "It seems that you don't think much about going to the Promised Land. I read the test questions, but you didn't even discuss it."
Fuck!Should it be cold?
No, I should always trust Qianer.
He Xiaowei's heart skipped a beat, and Zhou Qian said in embarrassment, "That's because... hey, it's a bit hard to say, we didn't discuss it, but it's because none of the six of us... I understand the topic! What should I do?"
"Well, that's how it is..."
Hu La stretched and stretched, looked again at the tall woman with bloody legs in front of her, then at the short and fat man who was sweating profusely, and said in a slightly regretful tone: "Excuse me, please Let's go back."
"Why?" The dumpy man was taken aback.
"Of course you can't enter, your morals are corrupt and your character is bad, the Jin people won't like you! You don't deserve to enter the sacred us like the Promised Land, but I..."
The tall slender woman's tone suddenly sank, she looked at the short and fat man, and couldn't help but knelt down towards him, two lines of tears rolled down immediately. "Why can't we go in? Why? No, it shouldn't be... We heard that the Jin clan will test the people who come, so we deliberately brought the most intelligent wise men of our clan... It shouldn't, it shouldn't be the result ! We must have answered correctly!"
The tall slender clan sent five people this time.
Among the five people, one is a smart problem solver, and the other is a tall slender woman who runs fast and has excellent physical fitness, to ensure that she can send the answer to the Jin people as soon as possible.
It stands to reason that their strategy should be foolproof.
But why, the Jin people didn't choose them?
The tall slender girl asked why over and over again.
He Xiaowei also said "eh" again: "Why?"
Hu Lala looked at Zhou Qian and his party again at this moment, and said: "Then the six of you come with me. Congratulations, you can follow me to the beautiful and rich...promised land."
Hu Lala boarded the boat first.
Zhou Qian and the others walked towards the lake under the jealous eyes of the other ten people.
On the way, He Xiaowei asked again in a low voice.
Zhou Qian said, "Do you still remember what the boatman of our boat told you?"
He Xiaowei: "Remember, he said that I am blessed. He has a premonition that I will pass the test smoothly!"
"Why did he say that?" Zhou Qian asked.
"He asked us for a favor, saying that he could reveal the inside story to us and help us pass the selection." He Xiaowei said, "I stupidly asked him what favor he wanted, and you all said I was stupid, he was fishing for law enforcement."
"The boatman has delicate skin and tender meat. It can be seen that he has a good life. Regarding this point, as long as you have a little more observation skills, you can see it. If you have a little reasoning ability, you can know that he is from the Jin family. Then it can be deduced that he It is very likely that the Jin clan sent to test everyone. At least he is one of them."
Zhou Qian said, "So, at that juncture, it can be deduced that the boatman asked that question, he was fishing for law enforcement, and it is something that anyone with a little wisdom can do."
He Xiaowei smiled wryly. "I thought I had improved before this. Qianer, you hit me too hard. It seems that I have returned to the original point, what a fool!"
"But stupid people have stupid blessings, which is not bad." Zhou Qian said, "Yindao is right, the game has just started, so it is not possible for the NPC to ask a question and the player to reply casually, and the game will fail directly. Therefore, Instead, it is the advancement of the game plot, which serves as a reminder to the player.
"The real test lies in this 'crossing the river question', and before that, the boatman's question and his reaction to the player's answer are actually hints about the real test given to us by the system.
"Therefore, your words have tested something very important."
"Hiss... what is it?" He Xiaowei blinked and thought for a while, and suddenly felt some goosebumps on his body, "Could it be that...the boatman said that on purpose, but he didn't really care what we answered. And just to check our IQ?
"A wise person can see that he is fishing for law enforcement and dare not bribe him. But I asked him directly. In his eyes, I was a fool, so he hinted that I could pass the test? This means Then—oh, I'm going, don't I?!"
"That's right." Zhou Qian concluded, "The Jin Clan only wants to choose idiots. Any sense of morality and love of peace are fake. They like idiots, especially obedient idiots.
"The short and fat man read the answers to the tall and slender woman verbatim, obviously without wisdom, but he was still not selected. In my opinion, this is not because of his bad character, but because of a person like him , may have his own ideas, be rebellious, and be disobedient."
"Rebellious? Disobedient?" He Xiaowei swallowed subconsciously, "What you said made me think carefully and terrified."
When the flood came, the Jin clan who believed in the gods escaped, mastered the cutting-edge technological civilization, and lived in the promised land bestowed by the gods.
But the homes of other humans have been completely destroyed. After many years, the remaining humans who survived lost all their technology and became like primitive people.
In their eyes, the Jin people are close to gods, and they want to go to the homeland of gods.
But the Jin people did not accept the same ideas of all the people.
They will only select some people to enter the Promised Land——
The human race selected by the Jin people to enter the Promised Land is characterized by "stupid", "docile and not rebellious", "obedient", and even "no force value", "easy to manipulate"...
what does this mean?
For the Jin people, the Promised Land may be a paradise promised to them by the gods.
But will it really be the paradise dreamed by other human races?
Zhou Qian and his party boarded the boat with doubts.
Soon after, Hu Lala showed them a tablet.
There are actually a lot of pictures on the tablet, which are photos of various rooms, some are antique, some have a Gothic style, and some are simple and modern.
He asked them friendlyly: "What kind of room do you want to live in? You can choose whatever you want. We Jin people are the most inclusive. We hope you can like our place as soon as possible!"
Zhou Qian and his party didn't know what the little stick was for.
But the remaining 10 survivors clearly knew.
When Zhou Qian looked at them, he could clearly see the great panic on their faces, and some of them knelt down directly.
At the same time, they started whispering——
"Grandma saw...they leveled a mountain with this silver stick."
"It's terrible...we can't offend the people of the Jin clan!"

It appears the stick is some sort of fearsome weapon.It is mostly a high-tech product.
After Zhou Qian came to this conclusion, he heard Hu Lala continue: "All of you back up and walk to the mountain gate, keeping a distance of 500 meters from me. Um...very good.
"During the discussion, no one can take half a step towards me. Unless you have a result. Those who have a result, please come to me and tell me the answer yourself. Those who violate the rules, for example, come towards me Those who came here but didn’t bring me an answer, or those who tried to seize the ship, I’m sorry, but you violated the rules of the Jin Clan, I will kill you.”

"Hey, Qian'er? Tell me, I'm really flustered." He Xiaowei couldn't help but said.
"Don't panic." Zhou Qian said with a smile, "Just watch the show."
watching a play?What show are you watching?Who will lose and who will win?
But what does this have to do with us?
Just as He Xiaowei was thinking this way, the two had already decided the winner in an instant.
Seeing that he was overtaken, the short and fat man made another dirty trick, unexpectedly repeated the old trick, took out another stone and threw it at the tall slender woman.
