Chapter 35 Fantasy Amusement Park (17)
Su Yue looked at Cang Zhi, a little confused: "What's your reaction?"
"Nothing, I just think you're right." Cang Zhi replied, "This mechanism does seem to lead to a lot of uncontrollable things."
"Yeah." Su Yue didn't think anything strange at all. "For example, Su Chen was targeted by the seeker. If we weren't there, something would definitely happen."
It was still light when they left the warehouse this time. Although they knew that all facilities could not be operated outside of safety testing time, Su Yue and Cang Zhi still took a walk around the park to see if they could collect any new clues.
They didn't gain anything. They went to the Castle Princess Hotel which they saw looked strange last night, but during the day it looked like just a dreamy theme hotel, nothing special.
I did notice that there was a track in the air in the park. The track seemed to be winding around the entire park. Looking at the park map, it was a small sightseeing train called "Love at First Sight". You can overlook the park's scenery as it goes around the park. This kind of train is usually for children to play in amusement parks. It runs very slowly, just for fun.
However, Love at First Sight is the closest ride to the Castle Hotel, and part of the track even passes through the courtyard of the Castle Hotel.
So Su Yue jumped around, trying to see if he could climb onto the track and sneak into the hotel to take a look.
Cang Zhi watched him struggling for a long time in silence, and then couldn't help but say: "The track should be electrified."
Su Yue: "..."
If it were to be electrocuted, the body of the god wouldn't die, but it would probably be rather unsightly.
Su Yue, who was very concerned about her appearance, silently withdrew her hand that was climbing up the railing and replied reservedly, "Oh."
.
We returned to the staff dormitory area with nothing. It was just dinner time. After today's safety test, the team members were reduced from the original four groups of ABCD to two groups of red and blue. The four restaurants were also reduced to two, with red and blue signs hanging at the door.
Just like the previous four groups, the red and blue groups cannot see each other. This is a good thing. At least the little girl Su Chen will not be stared at by the seekers like that.
Because someone died in today's security test, the atmosphere was still a bit depressing, and that person's death made people feel very uncomfortable. He obviously died because he didn't trust Su Yue, but before he died, he acted as if Su Yue had deceived him, which made people not even want to mention it.
They briefly exchanged their observations while tidying up the warehouse and ended the dinner in silence.
After dinner, I returned to the dormitory and found that there was one more person, Su Chen, so the four-person room was just full.
Of course, the difference between men and women is not that important in survival games, and they are all old teammates from the last mountain village dungeon, so there is still trust.
When I returned, the clock in the room showed around eight o'clock in the evening. According to a normal person's schedule, it was still entertainment time before going to bed, but Su Yue had already gone into the bathroom to wash up, and then persuaded the others to go to bed early.
"The game lasts five days, and half of the people have already died on the second day." Su Yue said, "You should all get some rest. The next three days will probably be even more dangerous."
Zhao Shuo originally wanted to chat, as he was a very gossipy person. However, after hearing what Su Yue said, the pressure of survival suddenly surged up in his heart. Without saying anything else, everyone went to rest.
.
Day 3.
As usual, Su Yue was awakened by the shrill horn sound. The high-pitched voice was so worn out that every word carried a sharp, distorted tone.
"Wake up! Hurry up and get up! Don't pretend you didn't hear me! Today's safety test schedule is very tight! Don't waste time!"
Familiar voice, familiar manager.
However, he went to bed early yesterday, so when he was woken up before dawn today, Su Yue didn't feel too resentful. After all, he had slept enough.
But I was still sleepy, and the climate in the game should be late autumn, so it was quite cold when I got out of bed in the morning.
Su Yue yawned and shivered as he washed himself.
The physical fitness of gods is stronger than that of ordinary humans, but that is after they arm themselves with the power of gods. Now Su Yue is just like ordinary people, feeling cold when he should be cold and sleepy when he should be sleepy.
He was brushing his teeth intently, trying hard to suppress the urge to yawn while brushing, when he suddenly felt a warmth on his shoulder and something gently landed on it.
Su Yue was startled and reflexively took a defensive posture. He turned around and saw Cang Zhi appear behind him at some point, trying to cover him with a blanket to keep him warm.
Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "..."
The two looked at each other through the mirror for a while. Cang Zhi seemed to be afraid that Su Yue would find his behavior strange, so he immediately explained, "The temperature is too low this morning. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Su Yue said "hmm" with mixed feelings. Cang Zhi looked satisfied and turned around and went out again, because Su Yue didn't like someone being around when he was washing up.
Su Yue looked up at Cang Zhi's departing figure in the mirror, feeling very complicated.
Should he say that this kind of thoughtful care made him feel that Cangzhi was becoming more and more like a normal person, or should he say that Cangzhi's "care" actually took the form of a sheet, so it made him look more like a doll?
.
Just as Su Yue was finishing the washing process painfully despite being extremely sleepy, the manager downstairs said:
"Everyone, please get up early! Get back in shape! Don't be late! Today's safety test will begin at 1:00 PM, and I'll call you to assemble then! Don't let any more safety accidents happen! You're really in trouble!"
…
Ignoring the preceding clichés and the following criticisms, Su Yue only heard one sentence in total.
Today's safety test begins at 1:00 p.m.
Su Yue was woken up at five in the morning, half-frozen and half-dead, standing in front of the mirror brushing his teeth: "..."
For the first time, he felt the urge to kill someone.
.
Amidst Zhao Shuo's angry complaints and Su Yue's dark circles under his eyes, who looked extremely angry even though he didn't say anything, the four people in the dormitory took another nap. They woke up around noon and soon heard the manager's loudspeaker ringing downstairs again.
"Red Team Safety Testers, hurry downstairs and assemble! Red Team Safety Testers, hurry downstairs and assemble!"
The third day of safety testing officially began.
——
When Su Yue and the others arrived downstairs, the manager was waiting there with a loudspeaker and an impatient look on his face. He still had the work sheet in his hand. There was an extra red cross on today's work sheet compared to yesterday's, which meant that the "Cupid's Hut" project had failed the safety test.
When Su Yue, Cang Zhi, Zhao Shuo, and Su Chen were all standing in the yard, the manager glanced at his watch. "Five minutes and eighteen seconds. Don't be so slow next time. We have a tight schedule, and you'll delay the safety testing process. Remember that?"
Everyone already knew that this manager had some mental issues, so they looked at each other and ignored him.
The manager waited for a moment, but received no reply. Then, angrily, he added, "Today's safety test will be divided into two groups. The Red Group will be testing the 'Heartbeat Ferris Wheel.' I'll take you to the equipment now. Be sure to pay attention to safety during the test so that it can be completed smoothly."
"After so many days, not a single project has passed the safety test. The park is about to open. How can this be possible?"
Everyone is used to hearing the manager's complaints. The only valid information is today's safety test project, the "Heartbeat Ferris Wheel".
Although I have never been to this project, everyone actually knows where it is, because the Ferris wheel is the most conspicuous in the amusement park. If you enter the amusement park and don’t see the Ferris wheel, you may even feel that this amusement park does not have the atmosphere of an amusement park.
.
The Heartbeat Ferris Wheel is located in the middle of the amusement park. It is the tallest building in the entire amusement park, taller than the roller coaster.
But the Ferris wheel here is a little different from those in other places. You have to climb to a platform about two stories high to get on the Ferris wheel here, because the lowest point of the Ferris wheel floats on the lake and there is no place to stand.
The heart-shaped lake is one of the most famous viewing spots in the park. Next to it is a castle and gorgeous and colorful amusement facilities. The heart-shaped lake ripples in the sun, and with the huge Ferris wheel slowly turning behind it, it is conceivable that if the amusement park can be officially opened, this will become a very popular tourist check-in spot.
The manager dropped them off by the heart-shaped lake and left, asking them to go upstairs to find the staff to start the test. When they left, their hands were already quickly flipping through the worksheet to look at the next item, and they were muttering something like "I have to find the blue team quickly."
Su Yue and the others were not in a hurry to go up, as they wanted to assess the safety of the Ferris wheel first.
"There are only two possibilities I can think of right now," Zhao Shuo said. "The first possibility is that the Ferris wheel's cabin will fall off. The second possibility is that the Ferris wheel will suddenly start spinning at high speed, just like an electric fan. Shit, that's kind of interesting to think about."
Su Yue, Cang Zhi and Su Chen looked at him silently.
Zhao Shuo: “…”
"That's just what I said!" Zhao Shuo said with a look of resentment on his face, "Of course it won't be really funny."
"Another possibility is that there is something else in the cabin." Su Yue said. Before, in the Angel Bungee Jumping Machine, there were green little hands causing trouble, and there was a ghost in the warehouse. It seemed natural that there was something in the Ferris wheel cabin.
In addition, although I can’t think of what will happen at the moment, I always feel that this heart-shaped lake is also a potential risk.
"Hey!" someone shouted from above, "Tester! Stop dawdling down there! Come up quickly! Testing the Ferris wheel will take a long time!"
Several people looked up and saw a staff member standing on the platform high up on the Ferris wheel. His voice came down from the second floor, loud and sharp, just like the staff members in the wedding parade and outside the Cupid's Hut, giving people a feeling very much like a crow.
Since the NPC urged them, they didn't delay any further and went up to the second floor. The stairs here were all pink, with some three-dimensional decorations of clouds, lightning, and small peach hearts on the handles. On the second floor platform, there was a notice board with the following words:
[Love is always sweet, yet thrilling. When you are happy, it is like being in the clouds, and when you are sad, it is like falling into the sea. It is full of heartbeats and uncertain challenges.
The "Heartbeat Ferris Wheel" is a sweet and exciting amusement facility. Climb aboard the Ferris wheel and have a heart-pounding ride with your true love!
