Paintings of Terror

Everyone moved the crossbow from the lower cabin to the deck, studied how to use it, and then tried to shoot. In order not to waste arrows, they all shot the arrows at a designated door of the cabin.

It turns out that there is a gap between seeing pigs running and actually eating pork. A group of people aimed their crossbows in a decent manner, but the arrows they shot flew in a mess.

The only second surprise came from Ke Xun and Mu Yiran. They are both powerful and athletic. The arrows they shoot can basically be nailed within the range of the door panel. Ke Xun, in particular, is really strong in terms of physical function. Talent, after practicing more than a dozen arrows, his accuracy is already quite high, and almost the arrows can be shot at almost the same position.

Everyone continued to practice hard. At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Fei and Chen Xinai came over and asked their boyfriends to go to the restaurant for dinner.

The dining room is actually the largest room in the middle of the cabin, and there are low tables in it. People in Qin Dynasty always sat on the floor when eating.

Everyone followed into the dining room, and saw that Xuege was already sitting there eating, Chen Xinai said: "We are not very good at using the cooking utensils of this era, and we don't cook much, and it's relatively simple, so just make do with it. The food is in the kitchen, serve it yourself."

The three girls only served their own meals and that of their boyfriends, but the others had no objections, after all, they were not obliged to serve everyone.

The rest of the people went to the kitchen next door again, and saw a bronze cauldron in the front room, with firewood under the cauldron, and steam was rising from the cauldron, they went over to have a look, and saw that it was a pot of porridge made by mixing rice and vegetables, and the dishes were not known. What kind of dish, boiled to a rotten ball, makes people lose their appetite...

"Hey, I can't even eat meat before I die, I feel so pitiful." Luo Yu wiped away the tears that didn't exist on his face.

"Is it okay to be content? It's strange, I want to eat and make it myself." Wei Dong said to him.

"If I knew how to do it myself, my aunt Liu would lose her job," said Luo Kuo.

Wei Dong: "Aunt Liu?"

Luo Kuo: "My servant specializes in cooking."

Weidong: "...well, I forgot that you are the young master."

"If you're not too hungry, just wait." Ke Xun suddenly rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the tripod, "I don't think this amount is enough for the rest of us. I'll make some more. If you're hungry, serve the porridge first." Cushion."

"Huh? Brother, you can actually cook?!" Luo Yu looked at him in surprise, "It looks like someone with a girlfriend!"

"Although you are dying, you can't stop you from talking too much." Ke Xun looked at the firewood under the tripod, and seeing that the fire had been extinguished, he raised his eyes and said to Luo Wei, "Go find me a flint and steel."

"What kind of flint do you want? I have a lighter here." Luo Kuo pulled out from his pocket, but what he got out of his hand was two flints and a pinch of tinder. Turned into two broken stones?!"

Wei Dong: "...May I ask if your family still lacks a servant who specializes in maintaining your lighters, the kind who is honest and good at art?"

Ke Xun lit firewood and began to search for the existing ingredients in the kitchen. Seeing this, everyone left the door to continue practicing arrows, but Mu Yiran stayed behind.

Ke Xun moved another cooking cauldron, threw firewood into it and burned it vigorously, then cut the meat he found into small pieces, skewered them, and put them on the cauldron to roast.

"It's a pity that there are no cumin and chili peppers." Ke searched for seasonings in the kitchen, but only found salt and peppercorns. He couldn't help but sighed, "Qiaoji can't cook without rice."

"You can use dogwood instead of chili." Mu Yiran pointed it out to him.

Ke Xun went to get the dogwood, and when he passed by Mu Yiran, he kissed him on the cheek.

"Do you think Shao Ling's method of shooting sea monsters with arrows is valid or not?" Ke Xun asked his boyfriend while grilling skewers.

Mu Yiran stood leaning against the door, like a slanted bamboo, his eyes fell on Ke Xun's hands skillfully handling the ingredients, and his voice was soft and soft: "At present, it seems that there is nothing wrong with his thinking. But as for whether the method of shooting sea monsters with arrows is effective, it can only be verified by tonight."

"That's right," Ke Xun said with a calm face, "The cruelty of 'painting' is that we can only get more clues through continuous death. I don't know who will be selected tonight... Eat more before you die Meat."

When Ke Xun called everyone to come in to serve the meal, Luo Kuo was shocked again: "I can't believe I came to the Qin Dynasty to eat skewers... Oh, it's so delicious! Brother, can I eat more skewers? Brother You are so awesome! Brother, can I marry you? Although I am straight, I don’t mind being bent for you, brother!"

"Shut up and eat yours." Ke Xun said speechlessly, holding a bunch of kebabs in one hand, and took his boyfriend's hand with the other to go to the corner.

"This is... my brother's boyfriend?" Luo Yu looked at the two and asked Weidong.

Wei Dong: "..."

This guy is really unrecognizable.

But...it really looks like Ke Er in the second year of middle school...

"That's your brother-in-law." Wei Dong said.

"The aura is [-] meters." Luo Kuo lowered his head and ate the meat.

Wei Dong noticed that his hands were trembling slightly.

He was afraid, he was afraid of death.

It's just that I have been covering up my inner fear with a lot of words and a meaningless appearance, and the nerves that support me don't collapse.

Wei Dong was silent, and buried his head in eating, but a strong sourness welled up in his heart, eyes and nose.

In order to have the strength to kill monsters at night, and everyone was full, Ke Xun not only made kebabs, but also cooked a pot of meat porridge again, mashed the fish into mud, and cut the mutton into thin slices and cooked them into the porridge together. , sprinkled with a little salt and chopped green onion, mixed a wild vegetable, and made candied ginger.

"It's even better than my aunt Liu's." Luo Kuo held his swollen stomach. He ate the most, as if to use the feeling of fullness to fight against fear.

"It's getting dark." Everyone ignored him, Li Yi looked at the sky outside the door, "Should we also take some defensive measures?"

He said and looked at Shao Ling.

Shao Ling nodded: "Yes, you can't just attack and not defend. Ladies can hide in the lower cabin of the deck, which should be safer than the upper cabin."

"I'm going to stay on it," Xueger said, "I don't like the feeling of being kept in the dark."

"I want to be with my boyfriend." Fang Fei also said, and walked to the place where the crossbow was placed, bent down and picked up a crossbow.

"Me too." Chen Xinai followed and picked up a crossbow.

Wei Dong: "...the girls this year are really fierce, I appreciate it!"

"Since that's the case," Shao Ling didn't want to interfere with the three of them, "then let's use the atrium where we had dinner just now as our base. If things go wrong, everyone should hide in the atrium. We'd better strengthen the doors and windows. "

"I don't think that's a good idea." It was Zhu Haowen who made the objection, and said calmly and calmly, "It's a closed space, and the only exits are the doors and windows. If we encounter danger, we will be caught in a pot .”

"So you mean everyone dispersed?" Liu Yanlei looked at him carefully.

"Yes." Zhu Haowen replied without hesitation.

"I don't know how many American horror movies or disaster movies you've seen." Liu Yanlei stared at Zhu Haowen's eyes with a slight sarcasm on his lips. Go their separate ways' on."

Liu Yanlei probably works as a salesman in the real world, and his eloquence is quite good: "Americans have too much individual heroism, so most of the people who survive in the end are individuals and the protagonists. Isn't this enough to give you Warning? The more dangerous and unpredictable the situation, the more we should unite and gather all our strength. What is united will? The best defense is not a wall or a weapon, but the concerted efforts of all people!"

Zhu Haowen looked at Liu Yanlei, who was slightly agitated, and his tone was still calm and almost cold: "The power of painting is irresistible. Whether it is one person or a hundred people, they will definitely die when they are damned. Here, the best defense Not manpower, but 'luck', brains, and seals of the most unreliable kind."

"Then let me ask you," Liu Yanlei refused to show weakness at all, took half a step forward, and stared at Zhu Haowen, "Have any of the paintings you have advanced been used in one pot?"

"No." Zhu Haowen looked at him expressionlessly.

"Isn't that what it is?" Liu Yanlei sneered, "That means that there is no one-size-fits-all rule of painting, otherwise everyone will be over as soon as it enters the painting. All of us are together or on our own, those who are lucky can live, and those who are unlucky will die, so why not work together to increase strength and seek more possibilities for survival and even counterattack?"

"I think what Liu Yanlei said makes sense." Li Yi said in a deep voice.

"I think so too." Yu Long also nodded.

The eyes of the newcomers all fell on Shao Ling, as if setting his attitude as a benchmark.

Shao Ling glanced over Mu Yiran, and then landed on Zhu Haowen's face: "If we are on land right now, then I also think it is not a good choice for all of us to hide in a closed room.

"But in fact, we are now on a ship in the vast ocean, and this ship itself is already an open closed space, because we can't go anywhere except on this ship.

"Since we are in a closed space, it is better to have shelter than no shelter. We don't know if those sea monsters have the ability to penetrate the wall, but even if there is only one ten thousandth possibility, we have to try Take it for self-insurance, isn't it?

"What's more, we don't know what the 'rules of death' you call in this painting will be, since anything can happen, what if the rules this time require us to help each other survive?

"So, I also agree with Liu Yanlei that there is great power in numbers. And one person counts the disadvantages, and three people count the strengths. Of course, we don't force anyone to have their own ideas, everything is voluntary."

As he spoke, he glanced at the people who hadn't made a statement one by one with questioning eyes, and the newcomers standing beside or behind him also all pressed their eyes on Zhu Haowen, as if he was the one in the horror movie or In disaster films, brainless characters who create division and cannon fodder.

When Shao Ling's eyes met Ke Xun's, he saw the boy raised his lips and smiled, stretched out his arm, put it on Zhu Haowen's shoulder, and surrounded him with his own arm, as if in awe Wudi formed a protective wall, blocking all unfriendly sights from the wall for him.

"You're right," Ke Xun looked at Shao Ling with a faint smile, "Thinking in one direction and exerting energy in one direction are the necessary conditions for the success of every team. I appreciate your spirit of cooperation. But what , I have been engaged in teamwork for many years, and here I would like to share an experience with you.”

Zhu Haowen looked at him slightly.

This guy who is always used to showing a loose and meaningless appearance in front of strangers, today for the first time showed the control and coercion that he used to be the leader of the first team.

"Thinking in one place doesn't mean that you can only choose one more solution to the problem; working in one place doesn't mean that all people must gather together." Ke Xun stood beside him with his head held high, tall , formed a disdain for the group of newcomers in front of him, "In my opinion, thinking in one place does not refer to a unified way of solving problems, but to ensure that everyone has a common goal, no matter what happens. No matter what kind of emergencies, you will never waver in your firm belief. As long as everyone can guarantee not to waver, not to shrink back, not to give up, and not to disagree, then all roads lead to Rome, so why bother to use different ideas and methods To achieve the goal?"

Zhu Haowen listened quietly, and suddenly he could imagine how this guy led his team to be invincible in a field like a battlefield when he was a student - he must be a particularly good captain, a good captain.

"As for moving energy to one place, huddling together for warmth is only the initial stage of it." Ke Xun's voice was firm and steady, as if he had said similar speeches many times, "The best team action is not To live and die together in a neat and orderly manner, but to cooperate in an all-round, multi-angle, layered, flexible, and wide-coverage variety can trigger more possibilities and the potential of each member, and finally achieve our common goal .”

At this point, Ke Xun smiled: "So, compared to a single collective action, I am more inclined to dig out several ways to deal with it. I stand by Haowener."

Zhu Haowen stared down at the deck under his feet, silently feeling the warm and powerful aura of the person beside him covering him.

Suddenly, I feel that even if I die in this painting, I don't seem to have any regrets.
