Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 14 - On a Whim

Chapter Fourteen On a whim The animals in this graduating class are in the last week of school. Both the school and Zhang Tie are preparing for the first trial of survival in the wild in their lives. The animals are a little uneasy. Because every year, there will be casualties in the field trials of graduates. This is not an outing in the field, but the first time for everyone to experience the cruelty of this era with their lives and blood. The world inside the walls is completely different from the world outside the walls.

On Monday morning, all the animals huddled together in the big classroom for a big class. The lecturer was not the teacher in the school, but a senior who graduated from the previous level of the school and is now a soldier who has served in the Black Yancheng City Guards .

This senior talked about their experience of the wilderness survival trial last year, and how he witnessed the story of two companions around him who turned into two corpses due to a careless trial during the trial, turning the two young lives into two corpses. What turned into a corpse was just a seemingly ordinary wild mushroom. During the field survival test last year, a classmate who was in charge of finding food picked a seemingly harmless white bone mushroom and boiled it in soup. Inside, two people ate it, but they didn't get up the next day. A classmate found it and came to check. The bodies of both of them were hard. Finally, in the soup left by the two of them, they found white bone mushrooms...

The whole story is very plain, there is no thrilling plot, and the cause of the tragedy is also very simple. On the surface, the deadly poisonous white bone mushroom is almost exactly the same as the edible umbrella mushroom that everyone often sees. The same, the only thing that can distinguish the two is that the rhizome of the white bone mushroom has a gray ring-shaped circle pattern, but the umbrella mushroom does not. The person in charge of finding food did not distinguish carefully or did not know this The difference between the two led to my own death. It is a very simple story, but it is precisely because of its simplicity that it makes everyone feel chilled when they hear it. They suddenly experienced the cruelty of the wild survival test. Survival trials, the knowledge of distinguishing white-boned mushrooms from umbrella-faced mushrooms, the teacher at the school has taught in class, the teacher has said, as for whether you have listened to it, remember it with your heart, that is your business, sometimes, a The price people have to pay for their own negligence and carelessness may be their own life, as well as the lives of others...

The testimony of the graduate brother immediately calmed down all the animals. The effect is far stronger than what the teacher said in class. The school probably knows this difference, so it is only in the last week of the school for the graduating class this semester. Such a mind-blowing class was arranged on Monday.

Just after the big class on Monday morning, all the members of the Airplane Fraternity surrounded Chauvin as soon as they left the classroom.

"Chauvin, do you still have the biology notes you made in class for the past two years?" Barry, the fat man, pressed Chauvin's shoulder and asked Chauvin nervously. Everyone, including Zhang Tie, was listening nervously. That story really scared everyone. In three years, no one can guarantee whether they have missed something crucial. There are so many deadly things out there, who knows if the thing you missed will be a few days later? Zhou took your life, it is a matter of strength and luck if you are buried in the mouth of a monster, and you deserve it if you are buried under your carelessness.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Chauvin asked with some confusion.

"What's the matter, of course I have to take it out for everyone to take a closer look and see if there are any omissions..."

"Okay, no problem!" Chauvin agreed very readily, "I have kept those notes very well, and I have two more at home. I will bring them tomorrow!"

Hearing what Chauvin said, Fatty Barry's eyes rolled, as if he suddenly thought of something, a golden light suddenly lit up, "Brothers, maybe we can use Chauvin's notes to make a small fortune this time. !"

Everyone understood Barry's meaning as soon as they heard it, and even Zhang Tie couldn't help but admire Barry for his quick brain. However,

Just in the afternoon, the Plane Brotherhood's plan to make a fortune failed. Just as Fatty Barry was planning to sort out the terrible things in Chauvin's notebook and print a small brochure, how much would it cost and how much could it sell for? Once again, Vic had the senior cattle boiling.

...

"Hurry up, go find Bulvik. He has mimeographed a "Handbook of Hazardous Organisms Identification in Wilderness Survival Trials" that he has carefully recorded over the past few years. He is distributing it for free, hurry up and grab it!"

During the noon break, a guy ran into the classroom and yelled. The animals in the classroom almost ran away when they heard it. Only a few people from the Airplane Brotherhood looked at each other. Barry opened his mouth, In the end, he cursed helplessly—damn...

But at this moment, Zhang Tie suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation...

That Bolvik's quick action and sufficient preparation made Zhang Tie feel awe-inspiring.

Starting from the "Handbook of Hazardous Creatures Identification for Wilderness Survival Trials", all the animals devoted themselves to the intense preparations for this trial in the next few days of the week, and began to prepare all kinds of materials needed for the trial. Equipment and survival supplies, this trial, in addition to restricting everyone to carry no more than five days of rations, other weapons, luggage, medicine, all kinds of mess, as long as you can carry it, you can Let you carry it on your back...

In the last few days of this semester, the figures of Gries and the others were completely gone in the school cafeteria. After what happened last time, it is impossible to want to come to the cafeteria to show off their power again. Individuals came to the cafeteria and lined up honestly, and received a bunch of mocking eyes. They probably couldn't bear this face, so they simply disappeared while eating, and went directly to the restaurant outside the school to eat.

"Guess what Gris and the others are having for lunch today?" In the past few days, when they lined up for lunch in the cafeteria, someone would always shout this sentence, and then all the animals burst into laughter.

Under Gries's deliberately low-key, Bolvik became more and more dazzling. In just a few days, a large number of people had already gathered around him.

I don't know why, starting from Monday, Zhang Tie often has inexplicable bursts of rapid heartbeat and sweaty palms, like a lack of energy in the body, and often feels flustered. On Tuesday, when Zhang Tie came again When I arrived at the train station, I found that there were many more security officers patrolling near the train station. I asked someone casually. It turned out that the fire in the residential area near the train station that Zhang Tie saw two days ago seemed to have killed many people. Man, the fire made the sheriffs near the train station tense, but it seems that nothing useful has been found so far, only to strengthen the patrol.

Zhang Tie came to the grocery store as usual, and the palpitations reappeared when he was doing the calculation. He made two mistakes in a row. After confusing the two payments, Zhang Tie smiled wryly, picked up the abacus and quickly pushed it twice. , reset all the beads to zero, and started counting again.

"What's the matter?" The owner of the grocery store who found Zhang Tie strange had already stood beside Zhang Tie at some point.

"It's nothing, just a little lack of concentration. It's always been like this these days. I feel a little flustered for no reason, and my heartbeat feels a lot faster for no reason!"

"Panic, inexplicably faster heartbeat?" Hearing this, Tang De frowned slightly, "Does your family have a history of heart disease?"

"No!"

"Then have you ever felt this way before!" Tang De continued to ask.

"No, I only started to feel this way this Monday!" Zhang Tie replied honestly.

"Are you a virgin?"

Depend on! If he hadn't looked at the seriousness on the face of Tang De, a fat man, Zhang Tie would have scolded him a long time ago.

"Answer me, isn't this a joke?" Tang De's expression was unprecedentedly serious at this time, which frightened Zhang Tie instead.

"I'm a virgin!" Zhang Tie could only admit in embarrassment, but then added superficially, "But it won't be anymore soon!"

Tang De pondered, twisting the beards on his chin with one hand, obviously not paying attention to Zhang Tie's last words. After a long time, Tang De opened his mouth, "Have you ever heard of a whim?" ?”

"On a whim?" Zhang Tie was confused, and then nodded as if he understood immediately, "I know, I heard from those animals in the school..."

"On a whim, someone in your school knows this kind of oriental secret?" Now it was Tang De's turn to be surprised.

"Is this also an oriental secret..." Zhang Tie was surprised, "Many people know that when a woman is mature, she will have menstrual cramps every month, and she will bleed a lot, but she will never get hurt because of it. Looks strong..."

"Bastard!" The corners of the grocery store owner's eyes twitched a few times, and suddenly he was furious, and he slammed his finger on Zhang Tie's forehead, almost making Zhang Tie jump. I said those messy things, I have played with more women in my life than you have ever seen, you brat!"

Zhang Tie rubbed his forehead innocently, he really didn't understand what he said wrong, only bleeding without injury, this is really powerful, could it be that he misunderstood...

Tang De, who took two deep breaths, calmed himself down, and looked at Zhang Tie very solemnly, "The so-called whim usually refers to some lucky guys. When some great danger or opportunity is about to come, they will There is a kind of early induction, which is similar to your situation in the past two days. The inexplicable heartbeat speeds up, and you feel flustered or excited. It will appear, and it can often be seen on some virgins who have not broken their bodies. I suspect that your situation in the past two days is just a whim, and there may be unpredictable dangers approaching you!"

Zhang Tie's face changed drastically, "I will be in danger?"

"Tell me, have you offended any powerful people in the past few months?" Tang De asked with concern.

Zhang Tie thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of anyone else to come besides Gris. As for the woman Mary, it shouldn't be there. The big deal is just being beaten up by that woman, that level of danger should not make me feel this inexplicable palpitation.

"Is it Gris? Except for Gris and his gang, I don't seem to have offended anyone!"

"I don't know about this. Many times, you may not even know whether you have offended anyone or who wants to kill you. There are powerful fortune-tellers in the secrets of the East. Only they can tell you I don’t have the ability to infer where the unknown danger will come from based on a whim or some other subtle signs, so that people can seek good luck and avoid bad luck!” Tang De shook his head, “But now that we know it, we can still make some preparations in advance !"

As Tang De said, he turned around and rummaged on the counter, took out two things and handed them to Zhang Tie, "You are about to go to the field survival test, you have been working with me for so long, these two things are my The trial gift given to you will make you more prepared when you encounter danger!"

Zhang Tie looked at the things in his hands. They were all "high-quality goods" from the grocery store-a small bottle of the highest purity "powerful rat poison" and a dagger with a sheath. The blade of the dagger was very sharp, but this dagger was truly What is used to threaten people is not the sharp edge, but the powerful mechanism hidden in the handle of the dagger. In an emergency, the flying needle that has been tempered with powerful snake venom can be ejected to make people instantly paralyzed and unable to move. The strength of the flying needle , within five steps, one centimeter thick glass can be penetrated...

The prices of these two items are a bit expensive compared to Zhang Tie's current net worth, but after Zhang Tie thought about it, he put these two items away without refusing.

Seeing that Zhang Tie was so generous and not hypocritical at all, Tang De nodded secretly...

When Zhang Tie was in Tang De's grocery store wondering where the unknown danger came from, Huck and Ned were in an alley near the train station. Standing in front of them was the More than 20 beggars and street children, these people are queuing up, looking at the big handful of coins in Sneijder's hand with bright eyes, and taking them from Sneijder's hand one by one. After spending 10 coins, they quickly put them away, and then they disappeared quickly. These ten coins may be rare for ordinary people, but for these people who hang out at the bottom of the Black Yan City and live in precarious conditions, The temptation of a piece of rough bread can already make them do a lot of things, not to mention the simple task of finding someone near the train station, and there will be two silver coins for the reward after finding someone...

After a few days of searching around the train station to no avail, the two people who became more and more anxious came up with this method. There are more than a dozen large and small streets near the Heiyan City train station, and there are several old residential areas. Relying on the strength of only two people, it really takes a lot of luck to find someone who can walk around in such a large area. So starting from Monday of this week, under Sneijder's suggestion, the two changed their tactics. They stopped searching everywhere, but asked a bunch of little beggars and vagrants to help them find them near the train station. Just Zhang Tie's age, as well as his black hair and black eyes as a Chinese, will make Zhang Tie stand out in the eyes of interested people. The proportion of Chinese population in Heiyan City is indeed very low .

Seeing those little beggars and vagrants completely disappear into the alley like spilled fishing nets, a smile appeared on Sneijder's face.

"Will this work?" Huck panted heavily, pinching the knuckles of his fingers beside Sneijder angrily, and the crackling sounds like bamboo tubes being stepped on were constantly resounding in his hands, "These two God, they have already misidentified three people, causing us to run for nothing three times..."

"I have a hunch that we are about to catch that little guy..."

"As long as I get the letter back, I'll take out that little guy's heart and crush his head..." Huck said fiercely.

"As you wish..." Ned narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his long tongue, and licked his lips like a snake, a cold and cruel atmosphere instantly diffused in the alley ...
