Chapter 10
There are routines to follow for all exam subjects. Both science and liberal arts emphasize logic, so even reading comprehension has its own routines. Jiang Fei seemed to hear the voice of his Chinese teacher again.
First, analyze the rhetorical techniques used, then analyze them in combination with the content of the article excerpt, discuss them point by point, and establish a general-specific-general structure. Finally, point out the central idea of the article.
Her upper body was half leaning on the table, and she held the gel pen tightly. She was used to writing with great force, so the tip of the pen made a tapping sound as it landed on the familiar light pink answer sheet.
The memories of her three years of high school as a liberal arts student gradually emerged in her mind. She wrote faster and faster, but her handwriting was always very neat, the kind of font that the examiner's first impression was of a refreshing font.
The clock hanging directly above entered the countdown. At the same time, the papers under the table seemed to have life and multiplied infinitely, gradually spreading upwards, as if they would not stop until Jiang Fei was drowned.
She wrote the last word in the answer box and drew a round period. After a few seconds, the bell indicating the end of the exam rang again, pulling her back from the flow state of answering the questions. Her eyes fell on the answer sheet on the table that had become translucent.
She was a little dazed. If she told others that she was doing reading comprehension in a monster's belly, no one would believe it.
"Correcting papers..." She had heard this voice in the tower before. She raised her head and looked around to try to find the source of the voice, but the light was too dim, so she had to give up.
This is definitely not a coincidence. The sound inside the tower is the same as the sound inside the pollutant, which shows that there must be some relationship between the two.
Could it be that the monster escaped from the tower? Or was the contaminant part of the tower? Countless speculations flashed through her mind, but because she had collected so little information, these were just speculations.
While she was thinking, the mountain of paper under her feet became more and more restless. She could feel that the mountain was ready to move, but seemed to be waiting for something and therefore did not attack her.
Are you waiting for the grading results?
This is very likely the case, because she doesn't think there is anything special about her physique, and she doesn't wear any special props. If all impossibilities are eliminated, then the remaining answer, no matter how outrageous it is, will be the correct answer.
"Loading final grades..."
"The final score is 90 points. Please check your reward."
The reward for answering the quizzes in the tower was supplies, but what would the reward be this time? A beam of light suddenly lit up above Jiang Fei's head, striking her squarely. She raised her hand to block the glaring light and, to her surprise, discovered that the hill beneath her feet had stopped moving.
This means that her previous guess was correct. If she failed to pass the test, she would be swallowed by the mountain in the next second. To others, it would be like the pollutants directly "ate" people. In fact, humans who fell into the stomach of the pollutants still had a chance to be rescued, but there were very few people in this world who could understand Chinese, let alone do reading comprehension.
So in the past, when humans fell into the mouths of pollutants, there was only one outcome: death.
Jiang Fei vaguely understood the pattern behind this. She stood up and went to look for her reward. Maybe she could leave here alive?
While she was answering questions in the stomach of the pollutant, the atmosphere in the outside world was tense. First, the pollutant overturned the transport truck. Although Anna, Gru and Lucian escaped, they watched Jiang Fei being eaten by the pollutant with their own eyes.
The escort team arrived late after the crisis was resolved. Bill watched the pollutant running away into the distance and said, "One person is missing. Is she dead?" As he said that, he looked at the transport truck that had overturned on the ground next to him. He thought Jiang Fei would die directly in the car.
"No, she was eaten directly by the pollutants. Are you satisfied now? You used us as bait, and you have been hiding behind us like cowards. Do you still deserve to be called the Guards?!" Gru's character is so straightforward, and he speaks directly. When he thought of the scene of Jiang Fei being eaten by the pollutants, his anger became even stronger.
Lucian took Gru's arm and shook his head at him, signaling him to calm down.
Bill operated his light brain without even giving Gru a glance, "Of course I'm satisfied. If she died outside, I would think it was a waste."
A translucent display screen appeared next to his hand, displaying what appeared to be an operating system. Lucian suddenly realized something. "There's something wrong with the communication device you gave us."
"You discovered me? It's not too late." Bill found the communication device Jiang Fei was wearing. A miniature bomb was strapped to it. Although small, it was powerful enough to destroy most of the base. He pressed the detonator decisively. "By the way, whether we qualify as a guard is not up to you. After all, the guards never protect the dungeon."
Bill stated this cruel fact lightly, counting down in his mind, calculating the time for the explosion.
three.
two.
one.
The corners of the man's lips curled up into a cold and crazy smile.
After Jiang Fei fell into the stomach of the pollutant, her protective suit was torn to pieces. She simply took off all the miscellaneous things on her body and put them aside, and only thought about taking them back after she finished answering the questions.
The pile of paper that had been very unfriendly to her just now became extremely well-behaved. When it saw her walking towards the protective suit, it took the initiative to move aside and split into two pieces. The scene was like Moses parting the Red Sea.
The friction sound caused by the surging papers was rustling, giving people the illusion that small animals were whispering to each other. When Jiang Fei was about to get close to the protective suit and her own equipment, countless papers pieced together into a big hand that grabbed her waist tightly and then threw her backwards.
What the hell! Jiang Fei didn't have time to struggle. The next second, the explosion sounded beyond her expectations. She saw her protective suit and the gun were blown away.
Wait, why did an explosion happen out of nowhere?!
The bomb was so powerful that it almost blew a hole in the belly of the pollutant. The pages of the book flew all over the sky under the influence of the shock wave. In the eyes of Bill and others in the distance, this scene was like the pollutant being exploded and splashed with blood.
Bill's helmet also has a telescope function, which can magnify the image nearly a hundred times, so he can clearly see the blood flowers flying all over the sky. The pollutant staggered away again. Even though it was injured, the guards did not dare to approach it rashly. They would wait until the pollutant was at its weakest before giving it a fatal blow.
"What a shame! I should have equipped her with more explosives," Bill said, irritating the three people present. "But her death wasn't in vain. At least when I return to Sky City, I'll ask the governor to give her an honorary award or something. Of course, there'll also be a pension."
Gru couldn't stand Bill's condescending attitude, as if the death of someone in the dungeon was like the death of an ant.
"Oh, by the way, we won't need your help later." After seeing the pollutants being severely damaged, Bill started to demolish his own bridges, fearing that the residents of these underground cities would steal his credit.
Although Anna was also very angry, her rationality restrained her anger. She took a deep breath and said, "You'd better pray that you won't fall from your high position one day."
"Hmm? Because you can't accept the current reality, you're trying to comfort yourself by imagining future events? Never mind... isn't that what people like you are best at?" Bill gestured to his team members to keep track of the injured contaminants. "If thinking that way makes you feel better, then go ahead. The anger of the weak is always powerless after all."
"But your car is already scrapped. You don't want to walk back, do you? I can consider giving you a ride." His eyes wandered over the three of them, "but I have a condition."
He pointed at Gru and said, "You, kneel down and beg me."
Bill knows how to insult people, making those who hate Sky City the most kneel down to Sky City's lackeys.
Anna and her crew's transport vehicle was completely scrapped. There were only two ways to go back: walk back, or kneel down and beg as Bill said.
Gru's expression froze for a moment. He stiffened his neck and stared at Bill intently. He knew how unrealistic it was to go back. "As long as I kneel down and beg you?"
Lucian still wanted to hold Gru back. He knew that Gru was a simple-minded person, but he would give up everything for his companions.
He slapped Lucian's hand away, took two steps forward, and then knelt without hesitation. "Take us back to base."
"No, that's not right... I'm talking about begging. Don't you know what begging means?" Bill bent down and pressed Gru's helmet down hard with one hand, almost sinking it into the sand. "That's kneeling. Now I'll give you another chance."
"Please... please send us back to the base." The voice was squeezed out from between his teeth. His cheeks turned red and the veins on his neck bulged.
Bill smiled. "That's the right attitude to have when asking for help."
On the other side, Jiang Fei was also dizzy from the shock wave of the explosion. She rubbed her head, and her ears were buzzing. She was worried that she was going to lose her hearing.
The hole in Pollutant's stomach couldn't be healed for a while, and Jiang Fei patted his cheek.
Damn it, she wasn't deaf, but she seemed to be hallucinating. She heard the pages of books around her rustling and talking, and the sound was very small, like whispering.
"Oh my, that explosion just now. Did it make her stupid?!"
"No! She's the first human being in hundreds of years who isn't illiterate!"
Jiang Fei, who was thought to be shocked:?
