Of course, surprise is a surprise, emotion is a sigh of relief, but in reality the politeness is necessary. Looking at the group of 'agricultural experts' who came all the way to help me, I saw the young man surnamed He who claimed to be the team leader. Just as he politely extended his right hand, Will suddenly came to his senses. Will quickly regained his smile and extended his hand as well. Then he shook hands and flattered: "Team leader He worked tirelessly to lead the team here. It's hard work. In addition, I would like to thank the institute for its attention and support to the farm. I’m so grateful for that!”
As the saying goes, flattery never wears off its clothes. In fact, compliments are not a specialty of Easterners, and Americans are not much different. Especially intellectuals like Will who have received higher education are extremely concerned about social etiquette. When it comes to compliments, it's a man who has a lot of skills. Seeing that this American with brown hair and blue eyes actually spoke so plausibly, everyone was surprised. However, these are still not the focus, and they are not really surprising. They are really eye-opening for everyone. It was He Fei who turned to shock, or rather the young man who followed him politely.
As soon as Will finished speaking, He Fei smiled slightly, then nodded and responded with a very natural expression: "Mr. Will, there is no need to be polite, we are not actually experts, we are just investigators sent by the institute. , Oh, by the way, there is one thing I want to declare in advance. In order to get the farm back on track as soon as possible, in addition to sending a group of our inspection personnel, the institute also temporarily decided to transport some agricultural equipment to you. However, due to the large size of the equipment, Due to inconvenience, the equipment has not arrived yet, so our work cannot be carried out until the equipment arrives.”
"What? Equipment? There is actually equipment? Oh Mika!"
"When will the equipment arrive?"
"Well, it is initially expected that the shipment will arrive in a week. After the equipment arrives, our work can officially begin."
An unexpected surprise, a real unexpected surprise. As expected, when he heard that the institute, in addition to sending experts, also used equipment to help him build a farm, Will was immediately overjoyed. Obviously, he was lucky enough to be ars He was overjoyed that this kind of scientific research institution was selected as a support target. Who would have thought that the other party would also use additional equipment? What does this mean? There is no doubt that this means that it can help him save a lot of subsequent financial investment. Faced with such news, how can Will not be happy and excited? The man with the rice dumpling hair is happy only secondly. In fact, this is exactly what He Fei is clever about, a deliberate delaying strategy!
Don’t the executors know nothing about agriculture? It was easy to handle. First, he used his status as an expert to deliberately inform the other institute that the equipment was about to be delivered, and then delayed the work on the grounds that the equipment had not arrived. As a result, the college student easily found a reasonable excuse for everyone not to work within 7 days.
As for whether the other party is suspicious?
Don't worry at all. Don't forget that the identity of the executor as an 'agricultural expert' was given by the curse himself, which is almost equivalent to an official identity. Since the identity is true and there is no doubt that it is false, then it will be natural for him to lie through this official identity.
It turns out that what He Fei meant before when he said he could solve this matter!
Has the problem been solved? Of course it's solved, but the solution is a bit...
This is deception, typical strategic deception!
…………
In order to stay on the farm reasonably without involving agricultural work, He Fei used his tried-and-tested deception skills.
At this moment, seeing He Fei lying without red face, breathless, open eyes, everyone had different reactions. Based on their understanding of the character of college students, the veterans headed by Peng Hu reacted calmly and were accustomed to it. However, people like Kong Ling, Li Tianheng, Chen Shuihong and the others who boarded the train late were really surprised. Needless to say, the three newcomers who were performing a supernatural mission for the first time were even more surprised.
Back to the subject, Will was overjoyed when he realized that he could get so many benefits. Seeing this, He Fei saw the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot and shrugged his shoulders, so he stated the helpless reality in a regretful tone: "So I'm sorry Mr. Will , we were unable to carry out work for nearly a week before the equipment arrived.”
"What are you talking about, Team Leader He? You and your subordinates will stay at my place for the next few days. It will be a vacation. The scenery here is pretty good."
Language is an art, a social art that only smart people can master. There is no doubt that He Fei has a pretty good control over this aspect. Seeing the rice dumpling-haired man taking the initiative to extend an invitation to stay, everyone was convinced that the same thing happened. This result is what everyone hopes to see, so under He Fei's deception, a group of executors can live in Weir Farm with peace of mind without having to involve agricultural work.
It is also worth mentioning that despite the large number of executors, 12 people, it is still not a big problem for the farm to accommodate everyone. After all, the standard reaches the farm level, even if it is small, it is not much smaller. In addition, there is a second floor above the living room, so the room is quite sufficient.
After finishing the polite chat with Will, we moved on to room assignments.
After some discussion, it was finally decided that He Fei, Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao and Chen Shuihong would live in one room, Zhao Ping, Li Tianheng, Peng Yuxiang and Chen Guangyu would live next door, and the above eight people would live downstairs. The spare room on the second floor undoubtedly belongs to women, and the four people living here must be Cheng Ying, Qian Xueling, Kong Ling and Zhou Bingbing.
………
As mentioned before, due to the remote location of the Dalosun area far away from the urban area, although the life here is much quieter and more comfortable than the noisy city, there are gains and losses. Among them, the inconvenience of shopping is the biggest problem, so as long as individuals living here may Families tend to store a lot of food. If Will initially thought that the food stored in the refrigerator was enough for him to eat for a long time, then the moment He Fei, a group of experts who live and eat for free, entered the home, Will had to pay attention anyway. .
Fortunately, he was not the only one living in this area. Soon, Will, who was thinking about whether to drive to the town to buy some ingredients, thought of his neighbor James's family. He remembered that the friendly fat man drove a tractor there every afternoon. Delivery in town, so to speak…
Why not ask the other party to pick up some ingredients for you when he goes to town to deliver goods?
He did what he thought of, and when he saw that the time was close to 3 p.m., he apologized. Will, who was afraid that James would leave early, hurriedly said goodbye to the guests and strode out, and immediately rushed to the neighbor's farm without stopping. He had long thought that Will, the plot character, was a bit in the way. A group of executors also took this opportunity to gather and discuss.
Day 1 of the supernatural mission, 14:45 pm, Will Farm.
As Will went out and left, the living room that was bustling earlier fell into dead silence for no reason.
At this moment, looking at the many teammates around the scene, He Fei lost his smile. The smile that had been maintained in front of Will for a long time disappeared and was replaced by a solemn expression. He Fei was like this, and the others were also like this. Facing the gaze of the young man, Both newcomers and seniors all have complicated faces and rough expressions. This is both inevitable and destined. Don't look at Will who has told everyone before that they will all be on vacation here in the near future, but what is the reality? In fact, no one really thinks that this is a vacation. On the contrary, the 7 days of accommodation can be described as a journey of death!
After all, this is a world of supernatural missions, and there are evil monsters here. Anyone may be killed by the monsters for no reason before the end of the mission. He Fei has always maintained a clear mind, so he clearly understands the reason why the current situation seems to be nothing. The lack of crisis actually comes from inertia. After all, it is only the first day of the mission! Obviously, for experienced people, they know that under normal circumstances, the executors of time-limited tasks in the early stages will not be strongly attacked or not attacked at all, and the attacks of worms will only gradually become stronger and more frequent as time goes by. Since we know that this is the rule, we can only say some things in advance while it is still relatively safe.
After looking around at everyone's faces with different expressions, He Fei, who had long been accustomed to being the captain, was the first to break the silence and said something in a slightly meaningful tone: "Because I was in a hurry to enter the farm, I didn't say some words. I have enough time to say it, but as for what I plan to say next, everyone here can probably guess it, right?"
He Fei is a smart man, how can others be stupid? Sure enough, as soon as the young man finished speaking, Chen Xiaoyao, who was sitting on a short bench opposite, narrowed his eyes slightly and opened his mouth to answer: "You mean task selection, right?"
Seeing that Taoist Chen went straight to the topic, He Fei was rare and not straightforward. He just nodded, but did not continue. Of course, even if he didn't speak, it was impossible for everyone present not to understand what the college student wanted to express. Then that is……
choose!
Do you want to stay at Will Farm for seven days? Or take the initiative to go to the southern forest to find 8 cards to end the mission early and return to the train?
Thinking of this, before he knew it, the living room returned to silence, and everyone fell into a collective silent silence.
Why the collective silence? The key is entanglement, or in other words, it is a dilemma before everyone. He Fei had thought about this problem alone before entering the farm. The final result was that he could not make a decision. Since he could not make a decision, the result can be imagined. Even He Fei The captain, who has always been steady, can't make a decision, so in the eyes of others, how can he say that he is ugly? Seeing this, someone may want to ask, isn't it just a multiple-choice question? Is it really that difficult to choose?
Yes, the answer is that it is really difficult to make a choice. The reason is not only simple and easy to understand. First of all, you must understand that the reason why He Fei cannot make an easy decision is not because he lacks courage and dare not gamble, but precisely because he gambles too many times. As a result, he currently feels guilty. After all, everyone knows that gambling in the mission world is often synonymous with risking one's life. Therefore, for the sake of caution, college students no longer dare to gamble, at least they dare not take the initiative to risk one's life when the situation is relatively stable. Since If you don't want to gamble, the best way will naturally change to giving priority to caution. Of course, caution can only be considered on one side. The main reason comes from He Fei's own rich experience. The experience tells him that before making any decision, he must first consider the curse's acting style. Yes, as the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years. In the past missions, their team has gone through ups and downs and been fooled frequently. They have been deceived by both sticking to time-consuming missions and being deceived by proactive missions. In this way As soon as this happened, it was inevitable that a group of senior people, including He Fei, would become increasingly hesitant and hesitant. They did not dare to make decisions easily, for fear that a certain decision would bring disastrous consequences. After all, they only have one life, and it would be terrible if they died. Even if you really die, if you make the wrong choice and step into the trap, the dead part will be considered lucky. The worst result may even lead to the destruction of the entire team.
what to do?
He Fei didn't say anything. He just sat on the sofa with an ugly face, silent and tangled in thought. He Fei was like this, Zhao Ping was like this, Peng Hu, Cheng Ying and Qian Xueling were also like this. As for the always easy-going person, Chen Xiaoyao simply folded his arms and lowered his head to fall asleep. For a moment, the senior people fell into a strange silence.
but……
There is a saying that goes, those who are ignorant are fearless, and those who are fearless defy nature. If the senior people are hesitant because of their rich mission experience, then Kong Ling and Li Tianheng, who boarded the train late, seem to have less worries. He was a little more restless, looking around both sides, blinking his eyes wildly. Currently, Kong Ling was looking at the old team members on the scene frequently like a curious baby, while Li Tianheng was even more irritable and scratching his head and head, and glanced at He from time to time with a pained expression. Among Fei and the others, only Chen Shuihong became calm. No, he was not calm, but he was almost unable to move due to excessive fear and stimulation. Under the pressure of fear, the fat man lowered his head and lowered his eyes and pretended to be mute, but he knew clearly in his heart that the current situation was absolutely impossible. Not when he speaks.
joke! Even these senior people didn't dare to make decisions easily. How could he, a guy who was lucky enough to survive only one supernatural mission, dare to make suggestions casually? Let’s not talk about whether his personal suggestions will be adopted by the captain, but what if they are adopted? If the team suffers losses due to adopting his personal suggestions, he will not be able to bear the responsibility!
As mentioned above, in order to avoid taking responsibility, Chen Shuihong once again showed his true nature as an official. He was very smart and shut up and pretended to be mute. Similarly, Peng Yuxiang, who had been secretly observing from the edge of the living room, had already made up his mind to remain silent. The thin man could not He planned to participate in it, but he never thought about involving the team discussion from beginning to end. Not only did he refuse to discuss it alone, but on the contrary, he always guarded against the group of senior people, and besides him, there was another person who had similar thoughts.
I don't know whether it was due to the influence of Peng Yuxiang's "heartfelt words" earlier or due to his own personality. At this moment, Chen Guangyu had a different expression, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes when he looked at the senior man.
"Ahem! Ahem!".
Suddenly, there was a sound in the dull and depressing living room.
In the corner of the living room, Peng Yuxiang, who had been silently observing, couldn't help coughing again. In a bad state similar to the occasional cold, he instinctively lowered his head and coughed repeatedly. Yes, this was not the first time Peng Yuxiang had coughed. He had already rushed there. The man had this reaction before when he was halfway to the farm. Although this time he still coughed twice and then stopped, but if you look carefully and pay attention, there are actually some differences. For example, there was a faint vibrato in the cough and it felt thick, and another example. Discharge of fluid after coughing.
As the head was lowered to face the ground, a drop of blood, small enough to be ignored, flowed out of the nose inadvertently, and finally dropped to the ground silently.
Because the blood droplets were small and inconspicuous, and coughing was normal, no one paid attention to the whole process, not even Peng Yuxiang himself.
The matter is not over yet. Perhaps it is a coincidence, or the early winter weather can easily cause physical discomfort. Almost at the same time, when Peng Yuxiang was coughing and dripping blood from his nose, a senior person sitting on the sofa on the right also followed closely. Then he coughed.
"Ahem!"
………
As the saying goes, the more entangled you are, the more undecided you will be, and the more undecided you will be, the more impatient you will be. This sentence is perfectly applicable to ordinary people, but is it the same for executors? Although the truth is extremely correct, this is by no means a good phenomenon, especially for He Fei, who is the team leader. It is important to know that the most taboo thing for a team leader is indecisiveness, and he often loses control when faced with complex problems. The more leaders are needed to take the lead in cutting through the mess quickly, He Fei understands the above, but...
But now he really doesn't dare to make a decision easily!
He is under pressure, and the pressure comes from the life and death of personnel. A total of 11 lives, including newcomers, now depend on his personal choice. Everyone is happy if he makes the right choice, but if he makes the wrong choice, it will inevitably lead to irreparable catastrophic consequences.
Not afraid of roaring mountains, tsunamis, and earth shattering, but afraid of falling into a trap. This sentence perfectly explains He Fei's mood at the moment. To be honest, if he was the only one participating in this mission, He Fei would have chosen one of the two. If you risk your life on your own, even if you make the wrong choice and lose your life, you will be the only one who dies in the end. If you die, you will die. It’s no big deal. However, the problem is that you are not the only one performing the mission, but all members of the entire team. ah!
(Mission goal 1: Survive for 7 days without leaving the Dalosun area to complete the mission. Mission goal 2: If you want to return early, you can enter the southern forest to collect numbers. Collecting 8 number cards will also count as completing the mission. Two choices, both of which have a greater chance of hiding traps. If you choose to stick to the farm and not enter the forest, you don’t have to take risks, but please don’t forget that time is often the best accomplice of worms. What should we do if the character in this mission is of a special nature and can gradually double its strength as time goes by? This is not a random guess, but a similar situation has actually happened! I remember that scene in that mission In a supernatural mission called "Night Shift Security Guard", a shadow worm appeared that could become stronger and stronger as time went by. In the end, even the curse rules were forced to break free. If the worm in this mission had the same ability, The mechanism of the shadow hawk is similar, so doesn’t it mean that choosing to stay on the farm is equivalent to seeking death? God knows whether the executor can persist to the end? As for taking the initiative to enter the forest...)
(Although after collecting 8 cards, you can leave the mission and return early, but what will happen during the collection and search? Or will it allow you to collect all the cards smoothly?)
(Damn it! What should I do? What should I do?)
Complex thoughts became more and more turbulent, and tangled expressions gradually emerged.
Gradually, some blue veins gradually appeared on He Fei's forehead, which was originally bowed in thought. How could he escape the eyes of others in this state? Zhao Ping and Cheng Ying were the two who first noticed He Fei's strange behavior. It was obvious that nine out of ten college students were in some kind of indecision. If not, why would the other party show confusion at the beginning of the mission? appearance? Unfortunately……
They couldn't help He Fei, neither Cheng Ying nor Zhao Ping, neither of them could help the college student, because the two of them were also deeply hesitant and entangled. It was precisely because they felt similar and had the same thoughts that they could understand He Fei. Fei's mood was: should he stay at Will Farm for 7 days or go into the forest to collect cards? Unexpectedly, the seemingly simple multiple-choice question in front of him stumped He Fei and all the seniors! This result is not unexpected, and it is also unexpected by everyone.
but……
There are always exceptions to everything. Even if the senior people are struggling and hesitating collectively, this does not mean that everyone is like this. In addition, the depressive atmosphere has been shrouded for too long. In the end, someone can no longer sit still and exerts force in the unbearable situation. Burst is straightforward, making a choice on behalf of He Fei for the second time after the previous mission, and making a choice on behalf of everyone!
"Looking at how uncomfortable you all are, it makes me feel uncomfortable too. Isn't it just a multiple-choice question? Is it really that difficult? Sure enough, the more experience you have, the less courage you have, and you will be timid in doing anything. !”
The dull atmosphere was broken by a speech full of anger, and the one who broke the silence was Li Tianheng!
As expected, after being ridiculed by the thorny young man, everyone raised their eyebrows out of curiosity and looked at this person with stunned eyes. However, what is surprising is...
At this moment, Li Tianheng, who was being stared at by everyone, did not show timidity or nervousness as usual. Instead, when he noticed that He Fei in front of him and other people around him were looking at him, he stood up and then stared at him with an irritated expression. He Fei said in a decisive tone: "Actually, you don't have to worry, aren't there 12 of us? Let's just divide them into groups. One group will go to the forest to collect cards, and the other group will still stay at the farm!"
Having said this, Li Tianheng paused for a moment, and after his face twitched uncontrollably for a few times, he spoke again with a trembling voice as if he had made a major decision, and continued forcefully in a tone that was too obvious of fear: "I, I, I, Li Tianheng, am willing to join the group that collects cards!"
