Chapter 86 - 76-conflict 2
Number seven stood beside song qingxiao and looked at the scene with interest. Song qingxiao scratched her hair with a smile when she heard the man’s words,”
“I’ve always been very careful.”
The young man sneered after listening to her. He grabbed his injured hand and turned to leave.
The cabin was the man’s territory. Before they figured out what was going on, the trial-takers did not enter rashly. The young man chose a corner with fewer people and sat down. After he left, song qingxiao leaned against the side of the ship and sat down.
What surprised her was that number seven did not leave. Instead, he followed her and sat down cross-legged beside song qingxiao.
“The sun is so bright, do you have sunblock?”
She was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt with red and white stripes and a pair of denim shorts. She had short hair and ears. When she sat beside song qingxiao, she crossed her arms.
Even though she knew that number seven wasn’t really asking her about sunblock, song qingxiao still didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that.
“No, I didn’t,”
Everyone entering the trial might not even be able to keep their lives, so who would have the time to prepare these things?
The young girl seemed to have expected her answer. She squinted her eyes and smiled, revealing a pair of Tiger teeth. She stood up with her hands on the ground.
“I see. I’ll go ask them then.”
She patted her butt and walked over to the few people who had stopped the participants from fighting. Song qingxiao saw that number seven was talking to these people. She asked about sunblock, and they pointed in the direction of the cabin.
The other trial-takers watched this scene coldly from the side. Some of them were also moved by number Seven’s actions and imitated her to strike up a conversation with the people on the cabin.
Everyone knew that in such a situation, whoever got first-hand information first would benefit, so they naturally wanted to take the opportunity to get close to the characters in the scenario and get the situation out.
However, things didn’t seem to be going well. Other than number seven, who got some advice about trivial things like ‘sunblock’, number six, who tried to strike up a conversation with him, got cold faces from everyone.
Perhaps it was because the participants had been warned by the man about their fighting behavior after entering the scenario, which almost caused these people to be implicated, they were very dissatisfied with the participants, and their dissatisfaction was already shown on their faces. In the end, everyone split into several groups and sat away.
No. 7 walked toward the cabin. Before she could get close, she was quickly stopped by the guards at the cabin door. The graceful lady who had followed the man earlier came out. No. 7 smiled and made a sunblock applying gesture, but the lady rejected her bluntly.
After being given the cold shoulder, number seven retreated resentfully. Like the others, he found a corner and sat down.
Song qingxiao closed her eyes when she saw this.
Her physical strength and mental strength had been consumed when she was being chased after when she entered the trial space, so she could take this opportunity to rest and recover her energy.
The shadow of the ship’s side blocked part of the sun’s exposure for her. Under the sea breeze, even if number six’s cold eyes looked in her direction from time to time, the young man didn’t dare to act rashly in front of everyone’s eyes even if he was angry. Song Qing took a nap and woke up in the evening.
The sun was about to set below the sea level, and the surrounding temperature had dropped as the light dimmed.
The aroma of food came from the ship. Song qingxiao stood up and stretched her hands and feet. She glanced at the deck. Among the participants, the refined scholar, the man in the suit, number 6, and number 7 were all gone. She, the crew-cut woman, and the old woman were left outside.
After sleeping for half a day, her face was a little painful from the sun, but she had recovered her spirit.
Soon, someone carried out a large bucket of food from the cabin. The others on the deck quickly stood up, but the refined scholar and the others still did not appear. The crew-cut man and the woman were still sitting there without moving.
Song qingxiao noticed their reaction and joined the queue. Someone in front of her complained in a low voice,”
“They’re both employed by Mr. Zhou, so why do they have to eat and drinkwell inside, while we have to eat a big pot of food outside?”
It was a simple complaint, but song qingxiao understood another meaning.
In other words, for this trial, whether it was the trial-takers or the people in this scene, they were all employed by a person named Mr. Zhou..
