The medical team that had been on standby quickly rushed to the site where the lunar landing training aircraft crashed, but the high temperature and thick smoke prevented their rescue.
In fact, judging from the situation at the scene, they were just doing their best, and no one thought that the strong man named Anthony could survive.
The fire team arrived quickly and spent five minutes extinguishing the fire. However, the lunar landing training aircraft was already completely burned, and there was an equally charred body on the driver's seat.
"The training in the morning is cancelled. Everyone is on standby in the dormitory." The captain said, with a rare serious look on his expressionless face. "Don't tell others what happened just now, especially the news reporters. At noon Experts will give you a psychological evaluation. In addition," he paused and glanced at 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, not to mention only one person died, but all the others were dead. As long as the main mission was not completed, no one would quit.
In fact, although the young man's words were unpleasant before, Anthony's death is indeed a good thing for the remaining people, so everyone's mood is very complicated now.
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, as soon 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 Suo on the first day of class, the two of them had no personal interactions. Zhen Suo chose to form an alliance with Jia Lai, but this incident did not cause much turmoil among the players. Even if the players at the bottom of the competition join forces, they do not make others feel too much of a threat.
"Is something wrong?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Can we go in and chat?" Zhen Suo's mood didn't look very good, the smile on his face was forced, and his words were mixed with a bit of panic.
"It's not necessary." Zhang Heng said, "If you have anything to say, just talk here."
Zhen Xi bit her lip, "I know what you think of me, but what can I do? I have no choice from the beginning to the end. It chose me, not me. I received the invitation. I was inexplicably involved in the game, and I had to work hard to survive. Just like when I entered the society after graduating from college, I just wanted 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 become his underground lover, otherwise he would make it difficult for me to work in the company."
"This is the cruel truth of this world, isn't it? The weak never have a choice." Zhen Xi laughed at herself, "Sometimes I really wish I was a man, maybe I wouldn't be where I am today." She raised her head, "I'm not lying to you. I can see that you are different from others, so I came to you not to take advantage of you, but just to tell you, be careful with Jialai."
"Why? Isn't he your ally?"
"Don't be deceived by his appearance. He is the most hidden person among us, deeper than everyone thinks... I..." Zhen Suo was halfway through talking when the door on Zhang Heng's right suddenly opened.
Jia Lai poked his head out from inside, "Oh, you are here. I was just going to find you. Didn't you say that you have finished drinking the Coke in the refrigerator? I still have it here. Do you want to come and get it?" As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Zhang Heng, a look of fear flashing in his eyes.
Zhang Heng has always been the most mysterious being among players. He lives alone and rarely interacts with other players. He is powerful and performs well in various trainings. Some people even doubt whether he is an astronaut. Although now he has The dangerous aura was not as strong as before, but Jia Lai was still instinctively afraid.
Zhen Xi didn't say any more. He took another deep look at Zhang Heng and gave Jia Lai a smile, "Okay, I'll come right away."
Less than five minutes after Zhen Suo left, someone knocked on Zhang Heng's door again.
This time, the person standing outside the door was a middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual. He pushed up the glasses on his face and said, "I think we need to have a chat about what just happened. I have already notified others. I will be waiting for you in a quarter of an hour." Let’s gather in the room, do you have any problems here?”
"No."
"Very well, let's see you then."
…………
This is the first time Zhang Heng has come to the residence of another player. The intellectual-looking middle-aged man 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 used instead. , when Zhang Heng entered the door, 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. The middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual looked at Zhang Heng made a gesture of invitation.
After Zhang Heng sat down, he also closed the door and walked to the center of the room.
"Then let me get straight to the point. I don't think Anthony's death was an accident."
"How can you see it?" The weak young man peeled a peanut and threw it into his mouth.
"Don't say you didn't see it. Anthony strictly followed the staff's instructions and decisively pulled the ejection handle under the seat after realizing that he was no longer able to control the lunar training aircraft. All of this happened when the lunar training aircraft crashed. Within the first few seconds.”
"Then why didn't he eject from the training machine?" Jialai asked puzzled.
"Good question. I think someone here can answer our doubts." The intellectual-looking middle-aged man looked around.
"Oh, my favorite part is finally here." The weak young man clapped.
"I remember you once said that he might accidentally kill himself." The high school student suddenly said.
"So what?"
"How did you know this was going to happen?"
"Because I'm smarter?" The feeble young man shrugged, "Don't you really believe this nonsense? With my training results, I can successfully board Apollo 11 without killing anyone. Are you sitting here? Of all the people, except for that cool guy over there, I should be the least suspicious."
"It looks like this." Jialai muttered quietly.
"Sorry?" A coldness flashed in the weak young man's eyes.
The fat man immediately shrank down reflexively.
"I think what he means is that the results haven't come out yet, and many things are not certain yet." The intellectual-looking middle-aged man wiped his glasses, "You might be bluffing."
