3 Dayu's flood control
◎Successful resurrection◎
At 5:45 pm, Zhu Heng woke up from bed again.
He opened his eyes and stared at the setting sun outside the window.
After lying quietly on the bed for two seconds, Zhu Heng finally confirmed that this was not a cycle.
He pressed his right hand on his left chest, where a blood scab had formed and the wound was slightly painful, proving that he had indeed been stabbed by the wire.
-
Zhu Heng's movement woke up Tao Ran, who was dozing off at the door.
The young master's body tilted and he collapsed on the ground, but he was not fully awake yet. He was still half asleep and only vaguely aware that the person lying on the bed was moving.
Tao Ran turned over and asked casually, "Are you awake?"
Zhu Heng probably didn't expect that there was someone else in the room. He was stunned for a moment and said "hmm".
Tao's back suddenly stiffened and his mind suddenly became clear - who was responding to him?
He slowly turned his head and saw Zhu Heng sitting up. He instantly felt creepy and his scalp tingled. He exploded as if he had seen a ghost: "You are actually... not dead!"
"You're actually not dead!" Tao Ran calmed down and spoke in a slightly excited tone.
What does "really not dead" mean?
Zhu Heng was stunned, looked up at him, and his tone suddenly turned cold: "What do you mean."
He was different at this moment than usual. His cold and aloof feeling had completely disappeared, and his eyes were sharp, like a beast unsheathed, carrying an aura of oppression that made people shudder.
Tao Ran was shocked by the look and explained tremblingly, "That's what the system said... It wanted you to die, but after piercing you, it acted like it had discovered something special and actually told us that you would wake up on your own soon..."
Zhu Heng's eyes were fixed on Tao Ran's, as if he was trying to discern the truth from his words.
Tao Ran swallowed his saliva, suppressed his uneasiness, and continued to explain: "That's why the actress suggested that we take turns guarding you..."
Hearing this, Zhu Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that his secret had been discovered by them.
Fortunately not.
He finally put aside his cold scrutiny and asked Tao Ran, "How long have I slept?"
"Three days."
Three days.
The left chest, where the heart is located, was stabbed all the way through, the softest and most fragile part of a person's body, but the wound scabbed over in just three days.
This is not normal speed.
But in this world, everything unreasonable can become reasonable.
As long as he is there, just hide him.
-
Zhu Heng pushed the door open and walked out. The aroma of grilled fish came with the wind. He frowned slightly, feeling a little disgusted by the smell.
Outside, everyone sat around the table, devouring their food. Tao Ran followed closely behind, closing the door behind him. His eyes fell on the sumptuous meal on the table. He couldn't help but swallow quietly, then turned to Zhu Heng and whispered, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table stopped eating, some dropped their chopsticks, some broke their plates, and all their eyes were focused on Zhu Heng, with unconcealable surprise on their faces - awake?
The man whose heart had been pierced by a thin wire three days ago was now standing before them in perfect health. If it weren't for his almost transparent pale face, one would have never known he had died before.
Everyone looked at each other, and there was silence for a moment.
Zhu Heng did not respond to Tao Ran's suggestion, but just raised his head slightly and looked at the thin line in the air thoughtfully.
Seeing this, Tao Ran scratched the back of his head, then took two steps forward and whispered, "We've all eaten, it's nothing serious... probably not poisonous..."
Zhu Heng glanced at him lightly.
Tao Ran's voice couldn't help but get smaller and smaller. Seeing that Zhu Heng was not moved at all, he gradually put on a donkey face.
This handsome guy is not afraid of having his heart stabbed through. I'm afraid he would starve to death and jump into the Dead Sea to feed the fish, but he would not eat a single bite of grilled fish.
"Forget it, I won't try to persuade you. You'd rather starve to death than eat." Thinking of how he had been guarding Zhu Heng for most of the day, Tao Ran suddenly felt so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back. After sitting back, he didn't care about the gazes of others and lowered his head to continue eating.
The strange thing is that it seems that in this world, their appetites are extremely big. No matter how full a plate of grilled fish is, they will become hungry again in a short while, as if no amount of food can fill their stomachs.
The actress put down her chopsticks first, picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth elegantly, then raised her wrist and checked the time: "Six o'clock."
Zhu Heng glanced at her.
This aura really gave her the air of someone who had been famous all over the country and had seen the world. But why didn't he have any impression of her? Or was it that... she wasn't from the Secondary Civilization Era at all?
The actress's voice was cold and crisp, but to everyone's ears it sounded like a death whisper.
Six o'clock sharp - that's when the system says "the good show begins."
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, a faint blue light slid along the thin line, and then a cold mechanical voice came:
On an ordinary evening, six hungry audience members walked into the theater. Before the show officially began, they ate a feast prepared by the production team. After their meals and drinks were fully sated, they waited patiently for six o'clock to arrive... But now, there were still hungry audience members, so our show couldn't proceed as planned.
Zhu Heng snorted impatiently.
He walked forward expressionlessly, picked up the grilled fish from his plate, and without hesitation, raised his hand and threw the whole fish into the sea.
With a "gulp", the grilled fish sank straight to the bottom of the sea. The sea water had no buoyancy at all.
The air suddenly froze, and everyone stood there in a daze, their eyes wide open.
This guy actually dared to throw away the things given by the system. Is he addicted to death?
Tao Ran was so distressed that he knelt on the shore, watching the grilled fish gradually sinking into the water. He muttered with regret, "Why throw away food when you can throw something else away?"
Zhu Heng stopped and turned around.
He pulled the corners of his mouth, smiling without any warmth, and asked, "Has anyone gone to the toilet in the past three days?"
"Huh?" Tao Ran turned his head and realized that Zhu Heng was asking him a question. He shook his head and said, "No, I've been a little constipated since I was a child..."
Zhu Heng stared at him for a while, remaining silent.
The long silence made Tao Ran's scalp tingle, and he had a vague sense of foreboding, like a prey being stared at.
Fortunately, Zhu Heng didn't say anything else and turned his gaze to the other four people.
His eyes are pitch black, and at first glance, they seem reserved and unfathomable. If you look at them for too long, you're afraid he'll be able to see through your thoughts.
So most of the time, no one dared to stare into his eyes, and therefore, no one noticed that there was an imperceptible light hidden deep in his eyes.
His eyes swept over everyone one by one, and everyone felt uneasy, and their faces turned paler the more they looked.
Looking back, no one has ever been there.
But these past few days, they were clearly eating meat and vegetables with big mouthfuls...
A strange chill spread, and everyone's expressions gradually froze, with anxiety and fear appearing on their faces.
Tao Ran finally reacted, whimpered in grievance, tears welling up in his eyes: "Are we going to die?"
The actress calmly stretched out her ten beautifully manicured fingers, gently blew away the dust from her fingertips, and said nonchalantly, "Why panic? If you die, you die. Everyone will die in the end anyway."
After hearing what she said, the craftsman seemed to agree with her and picked up the remaining half of the grilled fish on the table and ate it.
Tao Ran cried and wiped his face, still not forgetting to find the culprit: "Weren't you sleeping in the room all the time? How did you know we didn't poop?"
Zhu Heng was too lazy to answer.
"Brother Tao, haven't you noticed that there is no toilet in our house?" The scholar who always had a kind smile on his face spoke up to explain for Zhu Heng.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Zhu Heng's gaze on him, and his heart tightened slightly.
He looked over thoughtfully, but unexpectedly found that Zhu Heng was staring at the sea intently, and his eyes were not on him.
Tao Ran was still crying.
Zhu Heng was getting annoyed by what he heard. Without even raising his eyelids, he said, "Why are you crying? You still have a mouth, so just spit it out."
"Ga——" the crying stopped abruptly.
"Why are you vomiting?" Tao Ran approached Zhu Heng and looked at him expectantly.
Zhu Heng glanced at him and was about to speak.
Suddenly at this moment, in his peripheral vision, the grilled fish that had sunk to the bottom of the sea quietly floated up again.
A faint cold glint suddenly flashed in Zhu Heng's eyes. He turned and took a step forward, but because his steps were too big, he felt a sharp pain in his left chest. He couldn't help coughing twice, and supported himself with his arms on the shore, watching carefully.
Why did the water suddenly become buoyant?
The color of the sea also quietly changed, a faint yellow hue appeared, no longer as clear as before. Clearly, this area of water was completely different from what it had been before.
And the grilled fish still surfaced at the same place.
It's like quickly pulling away a tablecloth. As long as you are fast enough, the tableware on the tablecloth will remain in place.
This building is still the original building, but the sea area underneath has been unknowingly drained away and replaced with another wave of medium.
Zhu Heng's brows gradually relaxed.
Is this the "good show" that is about to be staged?
“Boom—”
Suddenly, a continuous roar came from the distant horizon, which made everyone's hearts tighten. They gathered on the shore and looked for the source of the sound.
At the edge of the sea, a small black dot appeared. As the distance got closer, the dot quickly grew larger. It turned out to be a cruise ship, with a brand new coat of paint and the words "Dayu" clearly written on it.
As if seeing a life-saving straw, everyone's eyes sparkled with excitement, except Zhu Heng, who slightly restrained the light in his eyes.
He was sure that there were no boats on the surrounding sea before the grilled fish resurfaced.
It just came out of nowhere...
"Here! We are here! Hello, hello! Help, help!" Tao Ran jumped three feet high with excitement, and even asked a strong craftsman to carry him onto the roof, waving desperately at the ship, fearing that the people on the ship could not see them.
The cruise ship slowly docked in front of them, a long inclined ladder lowered from the ship, and the door was wide open, as if inviting them into a trap.
However, the ship was completely silent, with not a single person on the deck. It was eerie. Everyone, who had been so excited just now, now dared not move.
Zhu Heng, however, acted as if he hadn't noticed anything. He dusted off his hands and walked towards the boat. As he passed Tao Ran, he suddenly said, "Thank you for jumping so high."
Tao Ran laughed dryly, his facial expression uglier than crying.
Seeing Zhu Heng stepping onto the boat first, everyone hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted their teeth and followed.
This handsome guy has "died" once, so he should be reliable.
If you follow him, you might be able to survive.
-
Zhu Heng boarded the cruise ship. Tao Ran lagged behind slightly and accidentally tripped over something. He was so scared that he rushed towards Zhu Heng, hugged his arms tightly, and trembled all over.
Looking down, I saw that it was just a wooden threshold.
Tao Ran blushed: “…” This is so embarrassing.
Behind Tao Ran, the actress clutched her diary, as if holding something precious, followed closely by the peasant girl, and the craftsman and the scholar at the end. When the last person boarded the boat, the calm, golden-tinged sea behind them suddenly underwent a dramatic transformation.
The water gradually faded to a murky yellow, and the gently rippled surface suddenly gave way to a massive wave. The cruise ship lurched, and a wave slammed into them, knocking everyone off their feet and nearly causing them to fall.
The sound of water gradually faded away, and suddenly I could hear the noise of people, so noisy that it felt extremely lively.
This eerie, ghostly ghost ship seemed to come alive and was instantly full of life.
However, this anger did not come from the six of them alone.
But the original owner of this ship.
"Let's all try harder, huh!"
"Come on, huh!"
"Hoo-hey-"
A deafening shout echoed from the ship, and the floor of the corridor they were standing in began to vibrate. A small, dark-skinned, shirtless man carrying a large bag ran past them, leaving behind a trail of muddy footprints.
Tao Ran peeked out from behind Zhu Heng with a trembling voice: "Who are they, and what are they doing?"
Another wave came, and the boat shook violently. Everyone was unable to stand steadily and fell to this and that.
Zhu Heng stared at the back of the man who had just run past and was as thin as a stick of firewood, without saying a word.
Tao Ran dry-heaved. The shaking of the boat made his stomach churn. He was about to continue asking when he suddenly heard a voice.
To be precise, there is "something" speaking.
The loudspeaker in the corridor suddenly beeped twice, and a familiar system voice rang out:
Dear audience friends, I miss you so much.
The actress sneered: "Who is your dear."
Seeing everyone's frustrated expressions, the speaker seemed very proud, and a hint of joy appeared in his voice: [Are you all full, my big babies? The announcement is about to begin.]
This "du" naturally does not include Zhu Heng.
However, this man who was not afraid of death naturally did not care whether he was hungry or not. He would eat if he wanted to, and forget it if he didn't.
The speaker blew twice, and the voice changed to a standard broadcast tone, saying clearly:
Welcome to the large-scale civilization simulation game "History of the Universe"
[Episode 1: Dayu Controls the Flood]
[Rule 1 of TV Drama Watching Rules: Spoilers Will Kill the Whole Family]
[Friendly reminder: This story is purely fictional. If there is any similarity, everyone will die.]
[Watching the drama mission - Searching for the lost earth civilization]
Zhu Heng paused slightly at the back and suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Just now, the moment the trumpet finished speaking, another voice sounded in his mind.
The voice said, "Don't let them find out."
