As the last words of system fixation fell, everyone's bodies glowed with white light, gradually turning into data and dissipating.

When they regained consciousness again, they had returned to the camp apartment.

The body data was reorganized, and the six people soon regained their ability to move.

But compared to the calm and relaxed Tang Jiumin and the four others, Zhang Tiandao and E Sihui were still a little wary.

Although in the control center, Liu Ziyun talked a lot about the camp.

However, it was dimly lit in the apartment at this time, and looking at the nearby Rubik's Cube suspended in mid-air, they were inevitably a little nervous.

"Relax, we're safe."

On the side, Liu Ziyun, who noticed that the two people were tense, immediately warned them, and then came over to explain the situation to them.

Seeing this scene, the only woman among the six people sighed.

"Finally, I came back alive."

The trial on Disaster Island is completely life-threatening, and one must be vigilant at every moment.

It was obviously only 48 hours, but at this time, Cheng Zhi felt like a year had passed. Not only was she physically tired, but she was also mentally exhausted to the extreme.

However, compared to the narrow escape from death in the last trial, everyone had rested in the control center for a while before returning this time.

Therefore, despite being tired, everyone still stood quietly, waiting for the rewards to be settled after the trial.

Soon, Liu Ziyun’s nanny-style science popularization came to an end.

The Rubik's Cube also made a sound and officially started its necessary process.

"Congratulations to all the trialists for completing the trial mission and returning safely."

"This is Rubik's Cube AI. In the team apartment 2066-1135, I will be your guide and answerer, providing multiple services. You can consult at the appropriate time."

"In view of the non-temporary newly formed team, the newcomer guidance has been skipped. Please go to the terminal to check the relevant content after the trial rewards are settled."

"The trial rewards are being settled, please wait patiently..."

The dim space suddenly became as bright as day as Rubik's Cube's words fell.

Unchanged opalescent crystals, completely enveloping the building, twenty equally divided rooms.

Seeing the apartment that Liu Ziyun had described appear, E Sihui was calm and just looked around curiously.

But Zhang Tiandao is different.

"Wow, is this the house that Officer Liu mentioned?"

This person seemed to have bought a new house and moved into it. His expression was high and excited, and he seemed to want to go over and take a look now.

On the side, looking at Zhang Tiandao who was either crazy or stupid, Cheng Zhi opened his mouth and wanted to reprimand him.

But at this moment, the sound of the Rubik's Cube sounded again.

"The difficulty of this trial is level two. The basic reward is 400 mind crystals. All newcomers will receive an additional reward. The trial rewards will begin to be settled..."

"Cheng Zhi, trial activity level is 74%, battle reward is 330 Thought Crystals, totaling 626 Thought Crystals."

The sound of the Rubik's Cube interrupted what Cheng Zhi wanted to do, and he couldn't help but hold back the words he wanted to scold Zhang Tiandao.

The activity level has increased, and so have the combat rewards.

better.

Listening to the settlement contents, Cheng Zhi's expression relaxed for the first time. But soon, her newly relaxed brows wrinkled again.

There are no newbie rewards.

Compared with the 400 newcomer rewards she received last time, although she has made significant progress this time, she actually did not receive many rewards.

The more than 600 mind crystals can be used at best to replenish the ammunition supply and then exchange them for C-level equipment.

Not enough, far from enough.

The trial will only get harder and harder. If there are not enough mind crystals, the improvement effect will not be obvious, and the possibility of survival will be...

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhi's brows wrinkled more and more tightly, and the sound of the Rubik's Cube came again.

"Yefim, the trial activity level is 86%. The battle reward is 490 mind crystals, for a total of 834 mind crystals."

86%?

So many mind crystals?

After hearing Yefim's settlement data, everyone in the square except Tang Jiumin focused their attention.

Not long ago, Liu Ziyun mentioned the settlement mechanism when introducing the Rubik's Cube. Curious baby Zhang Tiandao even asked about his last settlement situation.

The trial activity level is 87%, and the battle reward is 480 mind crystals.

This is Liu Ziyun’s value last time.

But now, Yefim can actually be on par with Liu Ziyun.

Zhang Tiandao's curious eyes kept looking at the former.

But compared to being a little excited about him, Yefim was like an outsider, too calm.

On the other side, Cheng Zhi naturally heard Yefim's reward, and there was a hint of bitterness in the corner of her already sad mouth.

After Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun, another monster appeared.

It was obvious that Yefim entered the trial in the same batch as her, but the other party had already left her behind.

But unfortunately, the things that made Cheng Zhi bitter were not over yet.

Because the next second, E Sihui’s settlement was also announced by the Rubik’s Cube.

"E Sihui, the trial activity level is 74%, the battle reward is 280 Thought Crystals, and the newcomer will receive an additional 400 Thought Crystals, for a total of 976 Thought Crystals."

What, 976? !

For a moment, the eyes that had just focused on Yefim turned to E Sihui.

Yefim is very strong, everyone knows this.

But E Sihui is a newcomer, and in everyone's eyes, he is still a weirdo who refuses to use a gun.

However, this strange man who does not use a gun actually performed well and got so many mind crystals?

"After all, E Sihui and Cheng Zhi are almost the same..." Zhang Tiandao, who was standing beside him, muttered in a low voice, with a look of surprise on his face.

But the person next to him was Cheng Zhi.

Her excellent perception allowed her to hear the whispers clearly.

Now, looking at E Sihui, who looked like a poker and had no self-awareness, Cheng Zhi felt even more uncomfortable.

but

Just when everyone had different ideas, the sound of the Rubik's Cube sounded again.

"Zhang Tiandao, the trial activity level is 16%, the battle reward is 40 thought crystals, and the newcomer will receive an additional 400 thought crystals, for a total of 504 thought crystals."

What? ? ? ?

16%, combat reward 40?

Nima

That sucks.

It's lower than Cheng Zhi, who doesn't have any newcomer rewards, and it's extremely bad.

Zhang Tiandao, who had been excited and looking forward to it just now, was dumbfounded at this moment.

The people next to him were also looking at him with confused expressions.

As teammates who went through the mission together, everyone knew that Zhang Tiandao performed poorly.

But no one expected that this bastard... would be such a bastard?

Could it be that his previous shots were fired at the sky with his eyes closed?

As if he felt the eyes of everyone, Zhang Tiandao slowly lowered his head and did not dare to look at other people. His old face turned into the color of pig liver.

Fortunately, just when he was getting more and more embarrassed, the voice of the Rubik's Cube saved him.

"Liu Ziyun, trial activity level is 93%, battle reward is 530 Thought Crystals, killing special target is rewarded with 200 Thought Crystals, totaling 1102 Thought Crystals."

1102!

Four digits.

Liu Ziyun actually received a four-digit reward?

Finally it was the turn of the two strongest people to settle the score, and as expected, they were a hit once they appeared.

Listening to such settlement data, even Yefim and E Sihui couldn't help but look sideways.

and

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but when Rubik’s Cube said this, there was a hint of humanity. Compared to the previous mechanized tone, was it a little different?

For a moment, everyone was shocked by Liu Ziyun's calculation and the abnormality of the Rubik's Cube.

However, among these shocking people, Tang Jiumin was not included.

The Rubik's Cube will increase intelligence and human emotions with the number of team trials. He has known this information for a long time.

As for Liu Ziyun? If he hadn't killed Peng Shikai in the last trial, he would have reached four figures long ago.

Soon, everyone in the square looked at Tang Jiumin.

Since Liu Ziyun is in four figures, what about Tang Jiumin, who is the captain?

"Tang Jiu Min, the trial activity level is 97%. The combat reward is 520 Thought Crystals. Killing a special target will reward 400 Thought Crystals. Killing a teammate will deduct 300 Thought Crystals, for a total of 1008 Thought Crystals."

Sure enough, it was another four-digit number.

Such a settlement reward was completely within the expectations of the other people.

But when Rubik's Cube said the words to kill his teammates, everyone's expressions changed, including Yefim.

Kill teammates? !

If this was not what Rubik's Cube said, everyone's first reaction would be disbelief, because after the whole trial, it was obvious to everyone what Tang Jiumin was doing.

Isn't he busy leading everyone to complete the trial?

But the Rubik's Cube said that Tang Jiumin killed a teammate... After a brief silence, everyone except Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun looked at the person involved.

"What does this mean?" As a newcomer, Zhang Tiandao's face turned a little pale after he had just recovered from the color of pig liver.

He really didn't understand why Captain Tang, who had led them out of the trial alive, killed his teammates.

On the side, E Sihui frowned and looked at Tang Jiumin, as if expecting the latter to explain in a few words.

Unfortunately, Tang Jiumin's expression remained as usual and he obviously had no intention of explaining.

"Is it Chen Min?" Among the six people, Cheng Zhi, who had experienced the trial and knew something about the situation, was the first to speak.

But she didn't look at Tang Jiumin when she asked this question, but at Liu Ziyun who looked bad on the other side.

"Yeah." Liu Ziyun nodded slightly. His response was barely louder than a mosquito. It would have been difficult to hear it if Cheng Zhi hadn't had a high enough sense.

As a bystander who knew what was going on, he was reluctant to talk about it.

But this nod is enough.

Everyone, including E Sihui, knew it.

Although I don’t know why Chen Min didn’t die when he was captured by zombies, Tang Jiumin really killed Chen Min.

Why?

Isn't that one of my own?

For a moment, the square fell into an eerie silence. The depressing atmosphere suddenly spread.

However, Tang Jiumin, who caused all this, didn't care at all. Instead, he looked at the Rubik's Cube, raised the corners of his mouth and spoke slowly:

"Go ahead, Rubik's Cube. It's time for us to move on to the next one, right?"

"It will continue soon, please wait a moment."

It seemed that this was the first time that he was urged by his own tester. When faced with Tang Jiumin's words, the Rubik's Cube flashed twice violently, and then it rotated slightly while it was suspended before continuing with the follow-up steps after the test.

"Confirmation completed, let's start the next step, the card drawing session."

"All trial participants are asked to draw props from 99 cards, 77 of which are cards from this trial scene, and the rest are completely random."

"All trial participants, please draw cards within the stipulated time and recite the numbers silently to select. After confirmation, the corresponding cards can be unlocked."
