under the tower

He smiled: "I hope you will have such a day, so that you can empathize with me."

"You will know that the satisfaction and happiness that person brings to you is unmatched by anything else. Reason, family, and contract are all vulnerable to her. There will only be one thought in your heart, which is to embrace that person without hesitation. With a fiery body to the end of the world."

Ji Xi thinks again inappropriately, it's a pity that he doesn't write poetry.

He could spit out a lot of polite sentences casually, Ji Xi boasted that he would never be able to do it in his life.

Their conversation about philosophy and family disputes was interrupted by the sudden opening of a door.

The man with the silver hook is here again. This is the third time Ji Xi has seen him today. This time, behind him is a gloomy-looking man. His hair is very long and hasn't been cut for a long time. , her black hair was tied into a small bun at the back of her head, and her bangs almost fell below her eyes.

He was dragged in silently, not struggling the whole time, very cooperative.

There are only four beds in the entire room, which means that everyone has arrived, and the person who just entered the door is the last one.

The officer holding the silver hook uncuffed their handcuffs one by one, and Ji Xi quickly took the opportunity to shake his stiff and sore wrist.

Two circles of red marks were clearly printed on the snow-white skin.

"My name is Chu Lin, and I am one of your officers." The officer said in a calm voice, "Next, I will explain to you some basic rules of conduct here, please listen carefully, I will only say it once, any What I have mentioned, will not be answered later, this is a waste of each other's time."

He scanned the four people in the room one by one with indifferent eyes.

"First of all, you will stay here for a month. According to the arrangement of the 'Elite School Program', for the first three weeks, you are only trainees and have no formal qualifications to participate in the 'Project'."

As soon as he came up, he dropped a bombshell.

The people present did not have any surprised reactions, only Ji Xi was slightly surprised inwardly.

"During these three weeks, you will complete the designated projects in this closed military training camp." Chu Lin said indifferently, "Pass through some very simple training."

He puts the accent on the words "very simple".

Ji Xi could even feel his contempt and disdain in advance.

"Then..." He said a meaningful sentence slowly and clearly.

"In the last week, you need to formally screen, or...eliminate."

Ji Xi's hand hanging by his side twitched lightly.

How does he feel that these words are so malicious.

In the next second, Chu Lin added in his robot-like voice: "During the screening process, inferior products will be eliminated, and the winners will be rewarded generously."

Ji Xi's heart trembled.

Of course he understood what that meant.

This last week... will be a brutal brawl.

For some reason, Ji Xi thought of the most chaotic years after the outbreak of the doomsday. At that time, the human society that had not yet established order completely followed such a set of survival rules.

Not only do they have to face the deformed people that can be seen everywhere under the condition that the technology is not yet developed, but they also have to compete with their companions for the few precious materials, so of course, the chaotic period of the jungle begins.

That was about a few decades ago, before the base was built, the humans of that era were like beasts in the jungle.

Ji Xi learned this passage in his textbook when he was a child, and a few photos are very intimately attached to the book, so that readers can experience the scene at that time in person.The photo is divided into two distinct parts by the carefully constructed light and shadow. In the bright place, medicines and plastic-wrapped food are scattered all over the floor. Many people are squatting on the ground and rushing for it, their faces are full of greed and joy. In the dark corner on the other side of the photo, more disemboweled people fell to the ground, dying, with intestines and blood flowing everywhere.

He was so impressed by that photo, it was a scene that had such a big impact on his childhood, that he instinctively felt physically sick to his stomach.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if he lived in that era.

Maybe he will die soon, he thought, according to the words in the book, he is not a high-quality human being good at survival, so he should be eliminated as a matter of course.

"That's all I want to explain. Next, please stay in the room and don't act without authorization. Someone will inform you during dinner." Chu Lin said, "Any questions?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Chu Lin left. He didn't forget to lock the door before leaving.

Ji Xi had observed the structure of their room in advance. The only window facing the door was firmly blocked by an iron fence. There were bunk beds on two walls, tables and chairs in the middle, and a bathroom less than ten square meters on the other side of the door. Only one nailed vent remained inside.

In other words, they can't do anything other than stay obediently.

Qu Chenyuan pushed the young man with braids on the side. He seemed a little uncomfortable, and he stood stiffly on the side after entering the door, without saying a word.

"Hey." Qu Chenyuan pointed to Ji Xi and Yan Yi familiarly, "My name is Qu Chenyuan, that's Lu Xi and his bodyguard, this little brother, can you introduce me too?"

The young man was silent for a moment, and squeezed out a few words: "Qin Zheng."

His voice was very hoarse, with an almost cold texture for no reason. When he spoke, it was like the sound of ice flakes rubbing against each other.

"Oh." Qu Chenyuan asked, "Which fight?"

"The struggle for contention."

The young man is obviously not a person who is good at chatting, and he almost can't keep up with Qu Chenyuan's nonsense with a few words.

"Okay." Qu Chenyuan smiled and said, "Then take care of me."

"Do you live in the upper bunk or I live in the upper bunk?" After a while, he said again, "The bed opposite must be for Lu Xi and his bodyguards, let's share it between the two of us alone?"

Qin Zheng scanned Qu Chenyuan's expression with unmoving eyes, and climbed up to the upper bunk spontaneously.

"Oh, brother Qin is so considerate, thank you!" Qu Chenyuan said, "It's not that I don't want to live in the upper bunk, you see, with my body size, it takes a lot of effort to climb up and down, in case one night my mind is not clear, It's not good to fall from it when you get up at night..."

He chattered on and on, and the remaining three people in the room all looked at him in silence.

Qu Chenyuan stopped talking in embarrassment, and said with a sneer: "Oh, don't just look at me."

Ji Xi leaned against Yan Yi, yawned lazily, and said to Yan Yi: "I'm sleepy, sleep for a while, call me before dinner."

Speaking of which, the whole person leaned against Yan's shoulder, and closed his eyes peacefully.

Yan Yi silently supported his head with his hands, and adjusted him to a comfortable position, Ji Xi's body twisted and did not move.

Qu Chenyuan on the opposite side was dumbfounded.

During dinner, Ji Xi was woken up by a sharp and loud sound.

Communication horns were installed in every corner of the entire building. At this moment, the sound made the entire building vibrate.

Ji Xi covered her ears uncomfortably, and sat up from Yan Yi's arms with difficulty.

Before, he maintained a posture of leaning on the man's shoulder, fell asleep, and somehow slipped down, and now his head has turned into a pillow on Yan Yi's thigh.

After the sound that lasted for more than ten seconds ended, a human voice came from the loudspeaker: "Attention all units, please assemble in an orderly manner and prepare for dinner."

After a while, a non-commissioned officer in a pure black uniform opened the door and led them out.

There is a low tent at the rear of the building, like a piece of white tofu spread on the ground.

The students who were taken out of the building filed in one file at a time, filling the hollow piece of tofu to the brim.

"Don't look around." Before entering the door, a staff member warned.

Ji Xi and the others were seated at a table numbered 10, and then someone came to deliver the food.

He found that all the layout of this place was quite primitive, there were no unmanned food delivery machines, no signal towers and network communications, all the work was done manually, and he really didn't know where the food in front of them came from.

But they had no choice, Ji Xi picked up a chopstick and put the vinegared shredded potatoes into his mouth, the taste was actually not bad.

Not long after, there was a small noise at the entrance of the cafeteria, and the patrolling staff happened to be not near them, so Ji Xi glanced in that direction.

At this glance, Ji Xi's spirit was immediately frightened.

A black metal wheelchair slowly moved in, followed by a bodyguard wearing sunglasses, a suit and leather shoes, and the person sitting on it was not Chang Huai!

Ji Xi's eyes froze for a moment, and his eyes were fixed on Chang Huai's body. He noticed that there was a number plate on Chang Huai's chest that was the same as the others, and the number on it was 12.

Ji Xi frowned and thought for a while, at this moment, his foot was suddenly stepped on heavily by a blind guy at the next table.

Ji Xi frowned in pain, looked away subconsciously, and the person who stepped on him lowered his voice and said innocently: "I'm sorry, friend, I didn't pay attention, did it hurt you?"

Ji Xi: "..."

This man didn't have hairspray, didn't wear a gorgeous Tang suit, and put all his hair down to cover his eyes. He also had some messy scars on his face. He looked disheveled, and Ji Xi almost didn't recognize him!

Sitting next to him was a burly figure, whose entire right half of his face was covered with a black cloth and tied into a knot at the back of his head. He had a thick beard, and his shape was extremely exaggerated, like a man who only appeared in movies. Vicious pirates appear.

Ji Xi: "."

One is his current nominal boss, and the other is his former boss.

You two are really good, let's play role-playing here.
