Chapter 266: Blowing up the Bridge
Everyone spent the night safely.
Until the morning of the sixth day, nothing unexpected happened.
After waking up in the morning, those who need to prepare breakfast do so, and those who need to clear the snow do so.
It is worth mentioning that the temperature outside has dropped again, reaching minus 75 degrees Celsius.
The indigenous people have already experienced some degree of difficulty breathing, and even wearing coats, it is difficult for them to move normally in the wind and snow.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel depressed.
Taking the lead in transporting the snow out of the prison, Jian Yiqiu tried hard to calm his somewhat disordered breathing while resting.
He was leaning against the truck, wearing goggles and his face wrapped in a thick scarf, which was now covered with a layer of white frost on the outside.
Looking at the players' decisive actions, he couldn't help but feel envious.
"Oh! That's great. How come they are still so agile even though they are wearing so many things?"
Shao Jing, who also noticed Jian Yiqiu's gaze, sighed while leaning on a shovel, and then pulled out his winter boots that were stuck in the snow.
Jian Yiqiu picked up the shovel again and shoveled the snow on the ground into the truck bed.
"Curious? Then go ask!"
Thinking of the endless stream of magical tricks that the players came up with, Shao Jing laughed dryly: "Haha. Forget it, I'm not curious at all."
Jian Yiqiu snorted softly.
It took almost four hours for everyone to clear the snow outside. Those who could hold out for four hours were basically players.
When they were almost halfway through the work, Jian Yiqiu and others were sent back.
The indigenous people are weak and not resistant to cold, so even if they stay there they can't get much done and there is also the risk of getting sick.
After much thought, Gao Ya persuaded Jian Yiqiu to take all the people back and just leave Qingxue's matter to them.
Jian Yiqiu hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed with Gao Ya's idea.
After all, it was too cold outside, and even if they kept moving, they couldn't get rid of the biting cold. So Jian Yiqiu simply ordered everyone to return to the Black Tower, but he stayed behind.
However, as soon as he turned around, Cheng Ce and Shao Jing carried him back.
Shao Jing: "Oh, Mr. Jian, please stop making trouble. If you are sick, I will have to take care of you."
Jian Yiqiu's face darkened: "Who needs your care!"
"Okay, okay, then I'll let Lao Cheng go."
Bah! A dog can't spit out ivory, so you are sick!
Jian Yiqiu cursed inwardly, his cold had just recovered.
However, there was no need for Cheng Ce to persuade him. Jian Yiqiu was no longer persistent. He broke free from the two people's restraint and walked towards the black tower.
He also knew that he was too slow and would be a burden to everyone. He just wanted to find something to do so that he wouldn't have to think about Xiao Jin who was out all the time.
Yes, after getting up this morning, Xiao Jin left the main group and left the shelter alone.
When Xiao Jin brought up this matter, Jian Yiqiu rejected her idea instantly, but Xiao Jin insisted on going.
Seeing that the two people were in a stalemate, Gao Ya on the side hurried to smooth things over.
She looked at Xiao Jin and said, "I know you won't change your mind easily, but you have to tell us what you are going to do outside!
You are an indispensable force in the shelter. The snow beast tide will surely come today. Without you, everyone will be worried. "
Xiao Jin nodded: "I know the snow beast tide will come, and it will most likely be at noon."
Gao Ya suddenly thought of something and frowned and asked, "Same time as yesterday?"
"It's almost like ten!"
"So what plan do you have for getting out?" Jian Yiqiu was not an irrational person, but he still didn't quite agree with Xiao Jin's idea of leaving alone.
There are too many snow beasts outside, and it is easy to get into danger.
"I haven't thought of a solution yet, but I plan to try my luck." Xiao Jin admitted it immediately. She turned her head and met Jian Yiqiu's eyes. Her black and white pupils were full of seriousness.
"Trust me, I'll be back before noon."
Gao Ya stopped talking, but don't blame her for being cold-blooded.
Everyone's mission goal is the same, to survive, protect the indigenous people and survive together. Now there are only two days left, and it's not just the indigenous people who are in danger, the players are the same.
It is true that the game world is much easier this time, but Gao Ya still dare not underestimate it.
Especially the most critical later stage.
And who is Xiao Jin? She is the number one player today. Even if the ranking list is a little inflated, it cannot cover up her extremely strong nature.
If she says there is a way, then there must be one.
Gao Ya was willing to let her try.
As for whether Xiao Jin would run away on his own, she had never even thought of this possibility.
Since he was unable to change Xiao Jin's mind, Jian Yiqiu had to settle for the next best thing and personally escorted him out the door.
Looking at the figure disappearing in the snow, Jian Yiqiu felt a little melancholy.
Look, it's been the whole morning, and while he was sweeping the snow, Jian Yiqiu was still thinking about Xiao Jin.
"Tsk! It's already half past ten, why haven't they come back yet?"
Sitting in the monitoring room, Jian Yiqiu stared at the monitor near the gate. His mind was like a ball of wool that had been played with by a kitten, all tangled up.
It wasn't until about twenty minutes later that a dark shadow suddenly rushed past the monitor.
Jian Yiqiu stood up from his chair, then started typing frantically on the keyboard, slowly playing the video back to one minute ago.
This time he really saw Xiao Jin's figure, and he rushed out of the monitoring room excitedly.
Braving the wind and snow, Xiao Jin deliberately slowed down when approaching the sentry post in the dark so that the people inside could see clearly who he was.
Sure enough, the player in the sentry booth leaned half of his body out and shouted.
"Boss Xiao, you're back!" His voice was not small, but half of it was carried away by the surrounding wind, blowing his voice into pieces.
However, Xiao Jin still heard his words clearly.
She paused for a moment, said "hmm" and nodded, then walked away.
The player over there had a silly smile on his face, and as he sat back in the pavilion he muttered, "Hey, hey, I talked to the boss, hey, the boss talked to me..."
As soon as he entered the Black Tower, Xiao Jin ran into Gao Ya and Jian Yiqiu who had been waiting there since early morning.
"How is it?" Gao Ya asked impatiently.
Xiao Jin looked around and found that there were many curious eyes looking at her. She paused and said, "Let's go to the conference room and talk."
Then he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Gao Ya looked at Jian Yiqiu and hurriedly followed.
Soon after, when everyone was gathered, Xiao Jin got straight to the point: "I want to blow up the bridge."
"what?"
Before everyone had finished digesting what Xiao Jin said, Shao Jing on the other side exclaimed in surprise.
"No, Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you? Did you see something? Why did you want to blow up the bridge for no reason?
Let’s not talk about how difficult it is to blow up the bridge. If it does blow up, it will definitely make a lot of noise, and it will even attract more snow beasts. You can’t have missed this, right? "
