deadly round table

Jiang Wenyuan passively became a member of the trio, but he didn't intend to remain passive forever. He said to the two of them: "Since we have passively chosen the job of excavating earth, let's go to the tunnel to have a look at the first stop."

Regarding Jiang Wenyuan's choice of death, Zuo Zhixing didn't even frown, but nodded in response, "Be careful when entering the tunnel. Once we find danger, we will retreat immediately."

Compared with Jiang Wenyuan and Zuo Zhixing, Zhang Chen inevitably looks a bit weak. He silently encourages himself, and his method of strengthening his courage is simple and rude, that is, to see how nervous and frightened others are, and after empathizing, he will not be so afraid up.So he said to Jiang Wenyuan: "Why didn't you ask us what the round table game is, what is the doll that can take away the player's bodily functions, or how to clear the game?"

"Investigating our current environment is also a way to understand the round table game. What's more, we are teammates," Jiang Wenyuan looked back at Zhang Chen, who was timid, and emphasized the word "teammates", "at the right time, I believe you will solve my doubts. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"..." Zhang Chen wanted to say nothing.

After a while, the three of them came to the entrance of the tunnel.

The middle section of the tunnel was blocked by collapsed earthwork, and the air was not convective. The three people walked into the tunnel wearing safety helmets, and could still smell the strong smell of blood remaining in the air.Brother Liang's injury did not affect the morale of the emergency repair team at all. After the workers briefly checked the potential safety hazards, they began to dig the collapsed earthwork. Go second.

The treatment of workers in the emergency repair team is completely different from that of players. The tools that players can get are all primitive manual tools, but the workers use semi-automatic machinery. The work efficiency is quite high, and they quickly move forward ten miles to the collapsed tunnel. more centimeters.

The safety road was very narrow, and the three of them could only walk in in a row, with Zuo Zhixing at the front, Jiang Wenyuan in the middle, and Zhang Chen at the rear.The three worked together, with Zuo Zhixing going deep into the vicinity of the construction site to investigate where Brother Liang was injured; Zhang Chen was responsible for the overall investigation of the tunnel and other abnormal points in the tunnel; Jiang Wenyuan was in charge of investigating the emergency repair situation.

The major of Jiang Wenyuan University is not related to civil engineering, and the workers can only understand the general way of excavating the collapsed earthwork, but one thing Jiang Wenyuan can be sure of is that in terms of their working methods, the danger of excavating the collapsed earthwork is not serious. Gao, Brother Liang's injury is a bit unbelievable.Is there an accident during construction, or is there something inexplicable playing tricks?

The investigation went smoothly, and the three of them walked out of the tunnel after only staying in the tunnel for more than ten minutes.

Outside the entrance of the tunnel, four players wearing hard hats and holding shovels stared at them. Without exception, all four were male players.When they confirmed that Jiang Wenyuan and the other three were safe and sound, their dignified expressions eased a little.

The leader, a man in his thirties with an average appearance and height, kept wiping the sweat from his palms on his pants, and said to Zuo Zhixing, "Brother Zuo, I didn't expect to be able to play at the same table as you."

Zuo Zhixing glanced at him, "Who are you? Have we met before?"

The man looked embarrassed, "My name is Li Yong, and we worked together in the round table game of Matryoshka."

Zuo Zhixing thought for a few seconds, and finally remembered that there was such a person, "You didn't choose the job of helping the cook?" His words were very rude, and he almost pointed at Li Yong's nose and scolded him for being greedy for life and afraid of death.

Li Yong didn't think there was anything wrong with being greedy for life and afraid of death. He rubbed his nose, "Our job is decided by lottery. One of the drawn assistants is a woman who has been completely deaf, and the other is a 14-year-old child. No matter how scared I am of death, I can’t take their jobs. After we chose a job, Brother Liang’s co-workers told us that we had to work at the job site for an hour a day. Brother Zuo, you’d better set aside time to clock in after stepping on the map. Otherwise it’s too late and it’s not safe.”

The news Li Yong brought was of little value, but Zuo Zhixing did not take his favor in vain. "There is no danger in the tunnel for the time being. As long as you follow the construction team and work according to the work rules, you will basically have no major problems."

Li Yong gratefully thanked Zuo Zhixing, and led the other three players with shovels into the tunnel carefully. His determined back looked like a strong man going to the execution ground.

Zuo Zhixing said: "Since there is a check-in task, let's complete the check-in task first, and then continue to explore the map."

Zhang Chen and Jiang Wenyuan naturally had no objection. After all, no one could guarantee that the check-in and stepping on the map would always be so smooth. In case of an unexpected situation that made it impossible to complete the check-in task, the loss outweighed the gain.

The three of them returned to the place where the toolbox was kept. Most of the players had gone their separate ways, leaving only one tall and thin man named Qin Gaozhi.Qin Gaozhi was drawn to carry the earthwork. The earthwork truck was used by a two-person team. Due to Brother Liang’s injury, a player was transferred to dig the earthwork. Qin Gaozhi became the one who carried the earthwork alone. players.It is difficult for a single person to use a dirt cart for two people. Qin Gaozhi was confiscated with his right leg. He limped and practiced pushing the cart in the open space.

Jiang Wenyuan took his own shovel from the wooden box, and said to Qin Gaozhi who was struggling to push the earth truck past him: "Why don't you go find a group that carries earth and join them to form a three-person team? I just watched Seeing two girls push the truck into the tunnel, they struggled to push the truck, so they should be very happy to accept you."

Qin Gaozhi was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect Jiang Wenyuan to talk to him, because he felt Jiang Wenyuan's kindness, Qin Gaozhi told the truth, which can be regarded as a reminder to Jiang Wenyuan. "Brother Liang said that everyone has their own tools. Even if I join another group, my tool is still this truck."

Now Jiang Wenyuan also fell silent. With everything still unclear, whether using other people's tools will trigger the death flag, or not using his own tools to trigger the death flag, no one dares to try it lightly, Qin Gaozhi's only choice All that was left was to follow the rules Brother Liang had set for them.

Jiang Wenyuan took the shovel and followed Zuo Zhixing and Zhang Chenyuan back to the tunnel. Their job was to clean up the earth left on the railroad track after the machine excavated it.The emergency repair team did not arrange a supervisor to guard the player, and probably did not expect the player to work hard.Jiang Wenyuan spent a tormenting hour in the dark tunnel with the other earth-digging players. When he walked out of the tunnel, the back of his shirt was soaked in sweat and stuck tightly to his skin.

All the players who dug the earth survived, and everyone's nerves were slightly relaxed.

Zhang Chen was so hot that he fanned himself with his hands, "Let's go to the dormitory to have a look."

Zuo Zhixing was dressed in a suit, "It's time to go to the dormitory. It's inconvenient to carry the shovel with you. It's better to put it in the dormitory."

Jiang Wenyuan clenched the shovel that he secretly marked in his hand, "Is the dormitory safe?"

"It is recommended to carry valuables with you, but it is okay to put a shovel." When Zhang Chen stayed in the tunnel, he looked timid, and he would smile again, and his mentality was strong enough.

The player's dormitory is separate from the dormitory of the emergency repair team workers. It consists of eight connected prefab rooms, and is built by a small river from south to north.When the three of them came to the dormitory, four of the dormitories had already posted nameplates, and the owner's room was locked and could not be opened, and the other empty rooms could be entered and exited at will.The three of them walked through the rest of the vacant room. The layout of the room was exactly the same, with two bunk beds, four small wardrobes, and a set of tables and chairs.Which one of the available rooms to choose should not be a big problem.

However, Jiang Wenyuan noticed a problem. He pointed to the room on the farthest east side with the word "Brother Liang" on it, "Brother Liang doesn't live in the tin car dormitory of the emergency repair team. He lives with us."

The quality of the container house was not very good. Standing outside Brother Liang's room, they could clearly hear painful groans coming from the room, and the smell of blood was also very strong.The three of them had seen Brother Liang's injury. Brother Liang didn't go to the hospital for treatment when he was so seriously injured. Instead, he insisted on staying at the construction site. If there was nothing strange about it, even a three-year-old would not believe it.The three of them exchanged glances silently, Jiang Wenyuan Zuo Zhixing voted for it twice, Zhang Chen abstained from voting for one, and desperately chose the vacant room next to Brother Liang's room.

After choosing the dormitory, three nameplates with their names appeared on the desktop in their room, namely Zuo Zhixing, Zhang Chen and Chen Mian.Jiang Wenyuan picked up the name tag with the word "Chen Mian" written on it, his eyes flickered slightly.Not only famous brands appeared out of thin air, but also work clothes, shoes and gloves suitable for three people's body types appeared in three of the wardrobes.

Time passed quickly, the three of them took a rest, changed into clean clothes, and after investigating around the dormitory, it was almost dusk.

During meal time, the players gathered in the canteen one after another, and most of them changed into work clothes.Jiang Wenyuan nodded silently, there were fourteen of them, not one less.It has been a while since I entered the game, and the players have already huddled together in twos and threes, sitting together and eating dinner together.

After dinner, the sky was completely dark.

Zuo Zhixing put the used bowls and chopsticks into the recycling basket, and said to Zhang Chen and Jiang Wenyuan: "There is still some time before the lights are turned off at nine o'clock. I plan to go to the temporary pile of earthworks to have a look. Are you going?"

Zhang Chen was physically and mentally exhausted, "The extremely salty potato fried pork just now has exhausted my last HP, please let me go."

Jiang Wenyuan is physically fit and has some energy left, but he must reserve some energy for emergencies, "I also need to rest."

Zuo Zhixing did not force them, and went to the temporary earthwork storage site near the dining hall alone to check the situation.

I don't know which player made the plate of potato fried meat, which is comparable to a biochemical weapon. Zhang Chen started to have a stomachache after returning to the dormitory.At this time, it was not easy for Jiang Wenyuan to ask Zhang Chen questions about the game. He gave Zhang Chen the lower berth that was convenient for movement, and reserved the other lower berth as a chair for him. He climbed to Zhang Chen’s upper berth and lay down. down.

Jiang Wenyuan had a lot of things in his mind, he thought it would be difficult to fall asleep, but he fell into a deep sleep not long after he lay down.In the dream, Chen Mian snuggled up to him, put his arms around his shoulders, kissed his lips, and comforted him softly.This dream was so beautiful that Jiang Wenyuan didn't even know when Zuo Zhixing came back, and he was awakened by a violent knock on the door until midnight.

The knock on the door came from the next door, and after a heavy pounding, Brother Liang's angry voice came, "Li Haohao, Xue Xi! How could you leave important tools at the work site, go get your tools now return."

The two girls in the room didn't open the door. Brother Liang panted heavily and walked towards the next room, repeating the same pattern, and once again scolded the player in the room who didn't bring back tools.Brother Liang's voice was very loud. Amidst his yelling and cursing, Jiang Wenyuan heard a familiar name, Qin Gaozhi.Those who didn't bring back the tools seemed to be the players who were responsible for moving the earth.

Brother Liang knocked on the doors of all the players who came back without tools, but no one came out. He sneered and threatened: "If you don't bring back the tools, you won't be qualified to work here!"

Jiang Wenyuan was lying on his side on the bed, and the player's cry of collapse could be heard in his ears, and gradually, there were rustling footsteps, and someone opened the door.The first person left the dormitory, followed by the second, third... five players without tools, all of them walked out of the dormitory.Now Brother Liang was finally satisfied, he walked slowly back to his room, when he passed by Jiang Wenyuan's dormitory, Jiang Wenyuan saw Brother Liang's disfigured face through the window, and the gauze wrapped around his forehead Black and red blood was oozing out, and with a strange smile on his face, he walked back to his room and closed the door heavily.

"Someone is going to die tonight." Zhang Chen's low voice came from the lower bunk, completely different from the lively feeling during the day.

"Go to sleep." Zuo Zhixing slept on the upper bunk next to Jiang Wenyuan, his voice was as steady as ever, with a soothing effect.

Jiang Wenyuan hugged the quilt tightly, "Hmm..."
