Chapter 293 My Favorite Link
The medical team, which had been on standby all the time, rushed to the crash site of the lunar landing training plane, but the high temperature and thick smoke prevented them from rescuing.
In fact, judging from the situation at the scene, they were just doing their best. No one thought that the strong man named Anthony would survive.
The fire brigade arrived soon, and it took five minutes to extinguish the fire, but the lunar landing training machine was already burned badly, and there was another charred corpse on the driver's seat.
"The training in the morning is cancelled, and everyone is on standby in the dormitory." The captain said, with a rare expression of seriousness on his expressionless face, "Don't tell others what happened just now, especially journalists. An expert will give you a psychological evaluation. In addition," he paused, his eyes swept over the players again, "those who want to quit can tell me now."
"..."
All the players remained silent. It was obviously impossible to quit. Even if such an accident happened, let alone only one person died, everyone else would die. As long as the main task is not completed, no one will quit.
In fact, although the young man's words were not pleasant to hear before, Anthony's death is indeed a good thing for the rest of the people, so everyone's mood now is also very complicated.
Everyone returned to their dormitories as the captain said. Zhang Heng took out a carton of milk from the refrigerator and poured it into a glass. However, just as he picked up the glass, there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Heng opened the door and saw Zhen Xi standing outside.
Ever since Zhang Heng warned Zhen Xie in class on the first day, the two had no private contacts. Zhen Xie chose to form an alliance with Jia Lai, but this matter did not cause much disturbance among the players. Even if the players at the bottom of the competition teamed up, it didn't make others feel too threatened.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Can we go in and talk?" Zhen Xie didn't seem to be in a good mood, with a forced smile on his face and a bit of panic mixed in his words.
"It's not necessary." Zhang Heng said, "Just talk about anything here."
Zhen Xi bit her lip, "I know how you think of me, but what can I do, I have no right to choose from the beginning to the end, it chose me, not I chose it, I received the invitation Inexplicably involved in the game, I have to work hard to survive, just like I just graduated from university and entered the society. I just want to work hard like everyone else, support my family, and be an ordinary person, but my boss He blocked me in the tea room and threatened me to be his secret lover, otherwise he would make it difficult for me to move forward in the company."
"This is the cruel truth of this world, isn't it? The weak will never have the right to choose." Zhen Xi laughed at herself, "Sometimes I really wish I was a man, maybe I wouldn't be what I am today." She raised her head, "I didn't lie to you. I can tell that you are different from others, so I came to you not to take advantage of you, but just to tell you, be careful of Jia Lai."
"Why? Isn't he your ally?"
"Don't be fooled by his appearance, he is the most hidden person among us, deeper than anyone imagined... I..." Halfway through Zhen Xi's words, the door on Zhang Heng's right suddenly opened.
Jia Lai poked his head out from inside, "Oh, you're here, I was going to find you, didn't you say you've run out of Coke in the refrigerator, I still have some here, do you want to get it?" While speaking, he secretly glanced at Zhang Heng who was at the side, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Heng has always been the most mysterious existence among the players. He works alone and rarely interacts with other players. He is powerful and has performed well in various trainings. The dangerous aura in the air was not as strong as before, but Jia Lai was still instinctively afraid.
Zhen Xi didn't say any more, took another deep look at Zhang Heng, and smiled at Jia Lai, "Okay, I'll come right away."
Less than five minutes after Zhen Xi left, someone knocked on Zhang Heng's door again.
This time, a middle-aged man with the appearance of an intellectual stood outside the door, pushing the glasses on his face, "I think it is necessary for us to have a chat about what happened just now. Gather in the room, is there any problem on your side?"
"No."
"Very well, see you then."
…………
This is the first time that Zhang Heng has come to other players' residences. The middle-aged man who looks like an intellectual lives in a slightly smaller place than him, but the layout inside is similar. The difference is that there is no TV, and an antique radio is replaced. , when Zhang Heng entered the door, the other players had already arrived.
High school students and listless young people occupied the only two chairs in the room. Jia Lai and Zhen Ji could only sit on the bed, but the only single sofa in the room was still empty. Heng made a gesture of please.
After Zhang Heng sat down, he also closed the door and walked to the middle of the room.
"Then I'll cut to the chase. I don't think Anthony's death was an accident."
"How do you know that?" The feeble young man peeled a peanut and threw it into his mouth.
"Don't say you didn't see it. Anthony strictly followed the instructions of the staff. After realizing that he was unable to control the lunar landing training machine, he decisively pulled the ejection handle under the seat. All of this happened when the lunar landing training plane crashed. In the first few seconds."
"Then why didn't he eject from the training machine?" Jia Lai was puzzled.
"Good question, I think some of you here can answer our doubts." The middle-aged man with the appearance of an intellectual looked around.
"Oh, my favorite part is finally coming." The weak young man applauded.
"I remember you once said that he might accidentally kill himself." The high school student said suddenly.
"So what?"
"How did you know all this was going to happen?"
"Because I'm smarter?" The feeble young man shrugged his shoulders, "You don't really believe this kind of nonsense, do you? With my training results, I can successfully board Apollo 11 without killing anyone. Of all the people here, except for that buddy over there who has always been cool, I should be the least suspect."
"It looks like this." Jialai muttered in a low voice.
"Sorry?" A coldness flashed in the eyes of the weak young man.
The fat man shrank his body reflexively.
"I think what he means is that the grades haven't come out yet, and many things are still uncertain." The middle-aged man with the appearance of an intellectual wiped his glasses, "You may also be bluffing."
