Calamity Island: Endless Trials

Chapter 217 New People Who Exceeded Expectations
[Trial Scene: Howling Island]

[Difficulty: Level 4]

[Energy system level: 0, technology knowledge level: 0.5]

The energy system is 0, and the technology level is -1.

There is no doubt that this string of data represents that in this trial, many technological props and weapons will reduce the effect.

Coupled with the level 4 task difficulty, it is definitely a test of life and death.

However, it wasn't these two items that gave Tang Jiumin a headache, but the two extra paragraphs below.

[Trial of Power: Two-person trial, the difficulty of the trial scene is increased by 60%]

[Power Trial: The difficulty of the dungeon is detected to exceed the team's tolerance limit, the number of newcomers is +12, the selection of supplies is canceled, and the search in the trial is changed]

These two extra texts did not appear just now, but were displayed on the Rubik's Cube as soon as they entered the tavern.

In the first paragraph, the difficulty was increased by 60%, which was expected. Although it was difficult, Tang Jiumin was not unprepared.

But the following paragraph is different.

Add 12 more newcomers?Cancel supply selection?Search within the trial?

Weird, weird.

Tang Jiumin had read this text several times, but when he read it again, he couldn't help frowning.

Based on his research on the terminal for so long, he can determine that the increase in the number is because the probability of survivors of the entire team is too low this time.

In the terminal idea, what if the survival rate is too low and no one will survive?
The most rude way is to increase the total number of people. After all, no matter how low the survival rate is, as long as the number of people is enough, enough people can live.

This means that the terminal clearly tells you that this trial will be extremely difficult.

But now, the problem has come.

With no supplies, 24 newcomers, and the terrifying difficulty of the trial, Tang Jiumin only knew that this trial might be related to supernatural beings, and knew nothing about the rest.

I believe that no one can keep calm, at least Tang Jiumin's heart is very uneasy.

Time was running out, all they could do at the time was to ask Zhang Tiandao to quickly search for some exorcism methods to exchange materials, and urgently make a batch of props in the tavern.

It's a lot of people...but I don't know how much it will help.

Soon, just as Tang Jiumin was thinking about this, E Sihui came over with a drab bag.

"Captain, it's done."

Tang Jiumin came back to his senses, "How much?"

"I counted, 38, enough for six of us each."

"38..."

Hearing this number, Tang Jiumin frowned and shook his head.

Not enough, not enough at all.

He has searched for the so-called soul body. For that kind of life, only spiritual weapons and electric weapons can cause great harm to them.

The remaining method is to destroy its soul state with props and make it materialize.Or it is to trace the clues and find its body.

Tang Jiumin didn't dare to bet that he could accurately find out the identity of each soul body.

As for what Zhang Tiandao did?
It is a medicinal wine that can make evil spirits appear weak, with bull's eyes, dog teeth, and even peach wood powder in it.

This is very crucial and may be of great use, but how long can 38 medicinal wine last for a long trial?

At this moment, someone tapped Tang Jiumin on the shoulder, causing him to recover from his contemplation.

Being disturbed by others, Tang Jiumin was a little irritable, and turned around and spoke the first time.

"what's up?"

It turned out to be Liu Ziyun, he didn't speak, just gestured behind him with his eyes.

Tang Jiumin immediately followed Liu Ziyun's gaze and saw that everyone in the bar was awake at this time.

Most of them were standing, a few were sitting, in groups of three or five, forming a few small teams, but everyone's eyes were on the bar.

It seems that everyone understands that this group of people at the bar is the key.

Among them, the teacher strode forward, walked to a safe position not far from the bar, and slowly opened his mouth to meet Liu Ziyun and the others.

"Hello, I'm Zeng Xuebin, a teacher from Mingze No. [-] Institute of Technology. Those are all my students. Where is this place?"

As Zeng Xuebin spoke, he observed the expressions of Tang Jiumin and others.

This group of people is not surprised at all, they know this place in all likelihood.

Thinking of this, Zeng Xuebin became more polite.

"I just chatted with a few people nearby. Before everyone came here, it seems that some bad things have happened, so we want to find out what happened."

"We don't look like we were kidnapped, but it's really...I can't find the right description, and I'm confused about it."

Having said that, Zeng Xuebin looked at the few people solemnly, very seriously.

"You are different. You seem to be very familiar with this place. Can you answer our doubts for us?"

Finally, there was someone in the crowd, and regardless of his behavior, he was surprisingly polite.

The other newcomers, although occasionally whispered to each other, were not interrupted by anyone, because they also urgently needed such a person to ask everyone what they wanted to ask.

All eyes were on Zeng Xuebin.

Liu Ziyun subconsciously took a half step forward, because he has always been responsible for guiding the newcomers.

He was a little surprised, after all, this time, no one was arrogant.

But a hand was placed in front of Liu Ziyun and stopped him.

...It was Tang Jiumin, he smiled, and then stepped forward by himself.

Under Liu Ziyun's suspicious gaze, Tang Jiumin spoke up.

"I thought that this time so many newcomers would be messed up into a pot of porridge, but the results are not bad. Except for some of you who are quite frightened, everyone else seems to have noticed that something is wrong. It seems that there is no need for Liu Bodhisattva to make you understand the reality. "

These two sentences made Zeng Xuebin nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, this place is weird, we're from different places, and what we've been through is weird."

Zeng Xuebin looked up at Tang Jiumin with a firm attitude.

"Sir, I am a teacher and I need to be responsible for my students. Although we are not panicking, we are still apprehensive about the unknown situation."

"Hopefully Mr. can help us out, at least let us know what happened and where is this place."

"As you wish." Tang Jiumin nodded and said with a little satisfaction: "You are all dead."

As soon as these words came out, there was a low voice of discussion.

"Don't act like I'm wrong." Tang Jiumin glanced at everyone who was uneasy, "Close your eyes and think about it, I don't have that much patience. What happened to me in the end, and then think about it under normal circumstances, you really have a chance live?"

As soon as these words came out, the discussion seemed to be cut off.

In just ten seconds, a group of people looked at each other in surprise and wanted to say something, but they looked at each other's ugly faces, but couldn't speak.

Tang Jiumin looked around, and his eyes fell on Zeng Xuebin's ugly but relieved face.

"Looking at your expression, did you expect it?"

Zeng Xuebing sighed uncontrollably, "Naturally, I discussed with the students just now, they thought luck was coming, so they survived."

"But I don't believe in these ethereal things, because the bus fell off a cliff more than 200 meters high."

At such a distance, it was hard for him to imagine that he could still survive unscathed.

Zeng Xuebin nodded at Tang Jiumin, then stretched out his hand.

"My students and I went out for social practice and had a car accident. According to you, we should have died. I'm glad you answered it for us. Could you please tell me what will happen to us next?"

Such a newcomer really made Tang Jiumin stunned for a moment.

But instead of shaking hands, he put his hands behind him.

"Of course I will answer it, and I will tell you what to do next. As long as you believe me, I am willing to provide you with some help."

Tang Jiumin looked at someone next to her, "After all, this is an agreed upon matter. I promised others to take care of the new team members, but it's okay to shake hands."

"What you have encountered is far more serious than you imagined. I don't want you to think that you are friends with me because of a small misunderstanding."

what?
Hearing this unexpected answer, Zeng Xuebin closed his hands in embarrassment, and at the same time his whole body became tense.

And at this moment, the elder of the hunter brothers, the eldest brother, spoke.

"Hey, the teachers have introduced themselves, you don't talk about yourself? Also, what do you mean by that just now? Could it be that we will... die?"

The word "death" is said here, and Big Brother Hunter finds it strange.

After all, aren't they dead?

Tang Jiumin looked at this man, his eyes were full of vigilance, but his breathing was steady, and at first glance, he looked like a veteran who was often struggling on the line of life and death.

"Tang Jiumin, in a sense, I am one of the leaders of this team. As for what to do next, how about it? Listen to Officer Liu, he is familiar with this."

The next second, Liu Ziyun stepped forward from the side and stood in the middle of the bar, his eyes fell on Zeng Xuebin and nodded respectfully.

"Liu Ziyun, before coming here, I was a police officer." Liu Ziyun's expression was serious.

The cop's attire, coupled with his self-introduction as a cop, really does frighten people.

Everyone's expressions tightened and they stared at him without blinking.

"Everyone, I hope you can remember every word I say next, and listen carefully to your heart. As Tang Jiumin said, this will directly determine your life and death."

Up to now, Liu Ziyun's introduction about the Trial of Calamity Island can be said to be familiar.

Time is tight.

He speaks in a hurry, but his articulation is clear, and he finished introducing the whole situation of Calamity Island in a short time.

Among them, it naturally includes the content of the trial, the danger of the trial...

With his introduction, Zeng Xuebin's face became worse and worse.

The others reacted differently, but the expressions were equally no better.

Soon, as Liu Ziyun's voice fell, Zeng Xuebin immediately looked at Tang Jiumin next to him.

"What this Officer Liu said... is it true? We have to go through the so-called life-and-death game here until we survive 66 games before we can go back?"

Of course it is fake!
Can you do that without bluffing you?
"There's no need for us to lie to you." Tang Jiumin nodded earnestly.

"Is there no other way, can't you be accommodating?"

Such a cruel reality made Zeng Xuebin cry.

"I have no children, no daughters, and no parents to support me, so I stayed when I stayed, but my students are different. They still have their studies, their parents, and their own lives..."

"No, they must not stay here..."

"Shut up." Tang Jiumin saw that this person was a little unstable, so he cut off his thoughts, "This kind of thing is not something we can decide."

"I advise you that in the next day and every second, it is best not to have any such thoughts, but to think about how to live."

As these words fell, Zeng Xuebin's face was ashen, and the whole person fell into silence.

And at this moment, the voice of the Rubik's cube without any emotion officially sounded.
