Chapter 77 Unexpected Waiting

"No instructions were received? Everyone was on standby in the hotel until they were notified?"

Chen Shi looked at Xiao Wei's figure on the screen in his eyes, and listened to the other party's words conveyed through the recording device, and his face was stunned.

"What's going on? Captain Xiao didn't say he would do it today..."

Chen Shi thought and recalled it, but soon he realized that he seemed to have made another mistake he had made before - he was misled by his own thinking!

"It seems like the captain said yesterday was-"

"I will come back here tomorrow and announce further instructions as stated above, before this, disband!"

Xiao Wei's words clearly appeared in her mind at that time, and the same words reflected different meanings at this time.

"... Looking back now, Captain Xiao's meaning of yesterday is just to let us pay attention to the notice today, and does not say that there will be any specific arrangements today, nor does it say that the selection will continue today!"

After realizing this, Chen Shi couldn't help but grab his hair, with a helpless expression on his face. He muttered softly: "What are the organizers of this selection competition thinking? Why are they doing so many weird things? It's simply..."

"It's not like the way the earthlings do it!"

The same complaints appear in many people's minds or mouths at the same time.

“It’s too anti-traditional!”

Next to Chen Shi's room, Zhao Nan was complaining loudly in a room of the same size and layout.

"It's so mysterious and completely ignores our citizenship! It's like playing with us like monkeys!" The more she said, the more angry the expression on her face revealed.

"I also want that fierce girl with the surname Xiao..."

"Xiao Nan!"

Zhao Nan seemed to be more and more excited as she spoke. Just as she wanted to expand her object of complaint and the scope of complaints, she was interrupted by a delicate shout.

The one who gave the sweet drink was the real owner of this room - Mu Zhiqing.

"Don't keep talking without any restraint, don't forget where we are now." She said slowly, while raising her hands and pointing to the semi-metal wrist guard on her left wrist with her right index finger.

"Um!"

After hearing Mu Zhiqing's shouting and seeing Mu Zhiqing's movement prompts.

Zhao Nan recovered from the complaining state and realized the mistake she had made. Why did she raise her hands and cover her mouth, and her eyes were still swept at the semi-metal wrist guard on her left wrist in panic.

"It's so miserable!" she said silently in her heart, "I've said so quickly. I've said so much. If this wristband I carry with me has any monitoring function, then I will definitely be recorded!"

"Oh~"

Looking at Zhao Nan's slightly panicked expression on the opposite side, Mu Zhiqing sighed and said in his heart: "Xiao Nan is too scheming, and all her joys and angers are on her face. She will suffer a lot in the next selection competition!"

However, although she understood this deeply, Mu Zhiqing had no choice but to do anything about it. Moreover, based on her understanding of Zhao Nan, the latter may want to use some other topics to cover up and transfer the matter.

really……

Zhao Nan put down his hands covering his mouth and turned at a high speed, with a slightly surprised face. The panic expression had disappeared. She had obviously thrown a trace of fear from the past.

"Oh! I don't want these anymore! It's useless anyway!"

Zhao Nan waved his hands, and the expression on his face turned into a heartless smile. Then, Mu Zhiqing once again understood the leaps in his thinking of this good sister—

"That, sister Mu, have you heard of it~" Zhao Nan's smile gradually widened.

Mu Zhiqing is very familiar with Zhao Nan's expression, which means that the "genius girl" opposite him is going to tell him some gossip again.

Therefore, Mu Zhiqing cooperated with him as usual and asked—

"What's the matter?"

However, she definitely did not expect that this time the gossip was related to her.

"Oh? It seems you don't know?" Zhao Nan blinked, and a touch of playfulness appeared in his clear black and white eyes.

Mu Zhiqing, who was confused by Zhao Nan's strange gaze, looked a little puzzled. Finally, she couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? From what you mean, should I know?"

"Of course!"

Zhao Nan said, suddenly put away his smile, then lowered his voice, put his mouth to Mu Zhiqing's ear with a mysterious look on his face, and said softly: "It's Chen Shi, one of your apprentices and suitors. Last night, someone saw him having dinner with our team leader in the third-floor restaurant, the team leader Xiao Wei, who always had a dead face, had a dinner!"

"Um?"

When Mu Zhiqing heard this, he raised his eyebrows and his hands stopped slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. Then she asked quietly, "Who did you hear?"

"Isn't it just my original alumni of Nanlan College," Zhao Nanye raised his eyebrows, but revealed an unconcealed look of pride. "You know, I turned from there, and this time they had acquaintances among the contestants. And she happened to have dinner in the restaurant on the third floor last night, so she happened to see our classmate Chen Shi and Xiao Wei having a great time talking!"

"real?"

Mu Zhiqing's face changed slightly, but she quickly restrained her. Then she said in a relaxed tone and said as if nothing had happened: "This is understandable. After all, Chen Shi had already shown that he was very familiar with the military, and he and Leader Xiao had known each other for a long time. There was nothing to be surprised about when the two of them suddenly had dinner together."

"This is the problem! Don't you want to know how he met the cold-faced woman?" Zhao Nan responded.

"Cold-faced woman?"

"It's Xiao Wei. That guy has a dead face all day long, looking like he is not close to a strange person. Isn't that cold face?" Zhao Nan curled his lips.

"You actually gave someone nickname again." Mu Zhiqing's eyes twitched slightly.

"These are all minor details. Now, sister, let me go and ask Chen Shi. If you ask, then the kid will definitely come from the truth!" Zhao Nan said, and suddenly pulled Mu Zhiqing's hand and held Mu Zhiqing's hand, then pulled her to the door.

"Why?"

Mu Zhiqing looked surprised, but he did not struggle. He allowed Zhao Nan to pull himself out of the room. Then the two girls turned around and came to the door next door.

"Ding Dong!"

Zhao Nan rang the doorbell.

Bang!

More than ten seconds later, the door opened, revealing Chen Shi's figure. After seeing the outsider clearly, an unexpected look appeared on his face.

"What?" he asked.

"Let's talk about it when you go in!"

As Zhao Nan finished his words, under Chen Shi's astonished gaze, Zhao Nan snorted coldly, then pulled Mu Zhiqing and walked in with a proud look.

"Forehead?"

Chen Shi grabbed his hair and stood up and returned to the house.

The door closed.

Then, an unexpected interrogation suddenly came upon Chen Shi.

...

Of course, the interrogation will not have any results. Although Chen Shi has responded as much as possible within a certain range, due to some issues involving the principle of confidentiality, the things he can really answer are limited, so naturally they will not satisfy Zhao Nan. Therefore, in the end, Chen Shi had to fabricate some "kind lies" to get away with it.

Of course, he has always been confused about why Zhao Nan and Mu Zhiqing were interested in how they met Xiao Wei.

However, Zhao Nan obviously did not give him equal right to doubt. After a while, the three of them ended the conversation after lunch in the restaurant on the third floor.

Then, everyone was waiting-

Wait for the trials to continue.

But this wait... I waited for half a month!

That’s right, it’s not one day, not two days, but a full dozen days!

During these ten days, every contestant went from looking forward to anxious waiting, and eventually became irritable and uneasy.

Almost every contestant was full of a certain aggression in these days, which Chen Shi could clearly feel from pedestrians on the commercial street.

If it weren't for the rules of the selection competition, many people would have been unable to help but start, and even a large-scale group fight almost occurred several times.

Fortunately, with the stop of mechanical security guards, there was no big chaos.

But even so, individual fights cannot be stopped. So far, more than six fights have occurred, with as many as fifteen people involved, and all of these fifteen people have been eliminated without exception.

As the waiting time continues to increase, the confrontational sentiment is also increasing.

Everyone gradually showed signs of a rampage.

This is not just caused by the pressure of the trials, but there are many reasons.

The most important thing is to restrict the treaty!

At this moment, there are definitely not a small number of contestants living in this city of steel, but they are scattered in hotels and hotels throughout the city and are prohibited from stepping out of the hotel!

The only places where they can move at will are the hotels where the contestants are located and the commercial streets underground in the hotel.

At the same time, the depressed and deserted atmosphere in the city constantly affects them, the cold streets, closed rooms, the faint competitive relationship, and the rules of the competition that defies the civil rights. All of this makes people gradually uneasy, irritable, and even despair!

Because of his mental power, Chen Shi has a strong control over his mental state, but even so, he still felt heavy pressure.

Every contestant can feel this pressure, both big and small.

Chen Shi sometimes even had an illusion that he felt that every contestant he could see at this moment seemed to be hidden in his heart...

Hidden beast!

The trapped beast finally ushered in a day out of the box.

This day finally arrived...
