Are you going to give up?

the next day,

The sky was slightly bright and the air smelled damp.

A figure walked in from outside. The person covered himself and quickly returned to his room.

At this time, no one has woken up yet, but it seems like some people haven't slept since yesterday.

In the restaurant, several people ate with their eyes narrowed.

When Wang Shitou slammed his head on the table for the fourth time, Shi Yuncheng said, "Why don't you go back?"

He looked at the people shaking their heads and saying, "Everyone is back, and we've finished our meal. Let's go back and catch up on some sleep and meet outside tonight."

Ma Liangchen closed his eyes and ate the bun, still chewing it in his mouth: "Okay, I really want to fall asleep now."

Qi Jing was also sleepy, but he was still holding on, except that his head kept shaking. He felt like he was not asleep but also like he was asleep.

Shu Yan was fine, as he was in good health and didn't shake his head. But Zhang Heqian was not like that. He just fell asleep leaning against the chair, chewing a bun in his mouth.

By this time, it was already bright.

They haven't rested since they went out last night. They haven't gone back to sleep yet because they want to see who is following them.

When Cong Shuyan saw that someone had gone in before them, he told them to wait here with the mentality of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, they actually waited for a fish to slip through the net.

They supported each other and returned to their residence.

Shu Yan helped Qi Jing back to the room. When he was about to go back to his room, he noticed the mud marks on the door.

After making sure that there was no one in the room, he looked in the direction of the mud mark and silently took a picture with his watch.

Before entering, he looked around the rooms of several people. There were more or less some marks in each person's room. He thought that they must have left without having time to wipe them off.

After returning to the room, Shu Yan did not lie down on the bed to sleep immediately. Instead, he searched around the room. After seeing the cards that had been turned over under the bed, he lay down on the bed quietly to sleep.

Before going to bed, he sent the photos he had taken to a small group of people, with the caption: "There's a hole in my plan. I'll check my room after waking up. I won't go out tonight. Meet at the restaurant tomorrow morning."

Only one person in the group replied to him. Shi Yuncheng, who received the message, lay on the bed and said, "OK."

In this way, they did not go out the whole day, and even when they woke up, they did not move and just stayed in the room.

Their behavior would be considered as playing badly in other teams, but the people in Building 1 were still enthusiastically looking for flowers.

Their team ranked first, 50 points ahead of the second-place residents of Building 5.

Liu Chao followed the team out looking for flowers all day today and didn't even come back at noon. At dinner time, he just grabbed a piece of bread in the restaurant and went back to his room.

After walking for a whole day, his feet seemed to feel no pain, and he felt thirsty and tired at the end of the day.

Unlike the others, their heels were all red and swollen. Fortunately, they felt much better after soaking them in hot water overnight, otherwise they would not have been able to get up the next day to continue looking for flowers.

Liu Chao's team could find flowers outside every day, as if they had cheats. Except for Qi Jing's team, the other teams had two people following their team to find flowers outside.

Every time they could find the flowers their team needed from outside.

Liu Chao and his friends would not stop others from following them, because no matter how they looked, the final score would be 50 points lower than the second place, just like a bug.

In this way, Qi and his team fell 140 points behind the team in front of them within one day.

Building 1, which ranked first, scored 270 points; Building 5, which ranked second, scored 220 points; Building 3, which ranked third, scored 200 points; and Building 2, which ranked fourth, scored 190 points.

Qi Jing and the others are still stuck at 50 points. The low score crisis is of no use to them. After all, it would be better to go straight to the finale than to look for flowers one by one.

During dinner, Qi Jing and the others woke up one after another. After seeing the message in the group, except for Ma Liangchen who continued to sleep, everyone else stayed in the room.

Qi Jing went out at seven o'clock in the evening. When he was going to the toilet, he met Liu Chao and Gao Tian who were also going to the toilet.

Qi Jing, who was planning to leave directly after using the toilet, was stopped by Liu Chao.

Qi Jing looked around and didn't see Gao Tian, ​​thinking that he must have left.

Liu Chao saw him looking around and touched his shoulder: "Hey, why don't I see your team coming out? Are you really going to give up?"

Qi Jing retracted his gaze: "I was too tired yesterday, so I didn't go out today. What's wrong? What else is going on?"

Liu Chao pulled the man into the toilet cubicle and said, "We didn't see you guys come out all day today. We thought you were giving up."

Qi Jing: "Your team cares about us so much, why are you still discussing this?"

Liu Chao scratched the back of his ear. "No, it's just that when our team goes out, the other teams always follow two people. They were discussing today, aren't you the one with the fewest points?"

Thinking of the 50 points in his team, Qi Jing didn't feel comfortable enough to object. He was just curious about why the people from other teams followed their team out.

Liu Chao felt embarrassed when he thought of his hidden identity: "They saw that our team could always find flowers when they came back, so they followed us for a day. Later, when they realized that they would find flowers as long as they followed us, they kept following us."

The more Qi Jing listened, the more he felt that he was like Ma Liangchen from the previous mission world, with all the buffs stacked up.

Thinking of this, Qi Jing planned to ask him to go out with him to look for poppies at night. Just as he was about to speak, something in the toilet made a sound, and the words on his lips were choked back.

The two of them squeezed into the small toilet cubicle and fell silent.

Qi Jing listened against the wall, and besides his and Liu Chao's breathing, he could also hear someone else's exhalation.

Qi Jing put his index finger to his mouth, quietly signaling him to be quiet. Then the two of them walked out of the toilet cubicle. He let Liu Chao walk in front, while he stood behind, knocking on the toilet door.

"Dong-dong-dong"

One sound after another rang out, each one hitting people's hearts.

Liu Chao felt his heart pounding and took every step in rhythm with the way he knocked on the door.

When the two of them came out of the bathroom completely, Qi Jing looked at the bathroom door, waited for about five minutes, and then pulled Liu Chao away.

They went to Liu Chao's room together, and in the room, they chatted without any worries.

Qi Jing looked at his room and found that his room was better than the others'.

Liu Chao returned to his room and gulped down a glass of water. His heart slowly calmed down. "Damn it! You scared me to death! You made my heart almost jump out of my chest."

"If you were a teacher, you would definitely scare the students in the class."

Qi Jing touched his nose awkwardly: "I just wanted to scare the people inside."

Liu Chao lay on the bed, arching his back comfortably: "Hey, what were you about to say just now?"
