6. The warriors crossing the river

6. The warriors crossing the river

Before the middle-aged man raised his head, Qingchen thought that the other man was deaf. Such a loud movement around him did not affect him at all.

However, when the middle-aged man raised his head, Qingchen almost thought he was deaf, because the originally noisy square suddenly became quiet without any extra sound.

The surprised looks and some inexplicable emotions in the eyes of the people around him seemed to be a foil for the middle-aged man's identity.

Because this middle-aged man has never paid attention to other people's requests for help in the past.

Suddenly Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, because everything proved that he was right in his bet.

The middle-aged man didn't say anything to him, but calmly pushed the red pawn on the chessboard to advance one.

The middle-aged man, who was holding the black diamond, chose to retreat the five bishops and seven, killing the pawn that had just made a strong move.

Qingchen looked at the chessboard quietly from a distance. The endgame of the four bandits capturing the king was a famous endgame on earth. There were two layouts, and in front of him was the more dangerous one.

The so-called endgame generally means that the black side must win, and the red side cannot even make a draw. If it is a draw, the endgame is solved.

However, Qingchen was not satisfied with a draw.

The endgame of the four bandits capturing the king is a bit strange. The four warriors on the red side have flown across the Chu River to the bottom line, and both rooks are present.

The situation seems to be evenly matched, but in fact, this endgame is full of murderous opportunities and traps. Black can win with just one move, but red can only run for its life. If you are not careful, you will think that you have a chance to win, and you will be defeated. Counterattack.

This seems to be full of hope, but can make people fall into despair little by little.

"Continue," the middle-aged man said calmly.

Qingchen said: "Two soldiers equal three."

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. At this time, he seemed to be really interested. He was too lazy to fiddle with the chessboard. He closed his eyes and played a blind chess game with Qingchen: "Add six to one."

Qingchen also closed his eyes: "The car behind is entering four."

"The elephant seven retreats nine."

In the sixth round, Qingchen suddenly said: "One car goes into seven!"

The middle-aged man's closed eyes actually opened again. He looked at Qingchen in surprise: "The elephant five retreats seven."

In the first five steps, the back and forth between each other was uneventful, but after the sixth step, the two sides actually started to change moves step by step!

You kill me! I will kill you! Rivers of blood flowed, and soldiers mourned everywhere!

Both sides were extremely cruel in their determination and determination on the chessboard.

The two of them were like the calmest generals on the battlefield, sacrificing everything for the final victory.

The situation where the four bandits captured the king unexpectedly forced the two of them to fight with a sense of bravery. However, behind this bravery, there was a deep calculation by both sides.

At the beginning, Qingchen's four red pawns across the river looked more fierce, but he gave up the four pawns one by one in exchange for other plans, leaving only the last one!

The car is flat and four.

Level four to five.

Four cannons and five draws.

Three cars and five cars.

On the fifteenth step, Qingchen finally let out a long breath: "Five soldiers advance to one!"

The picture is poor and the dagger can be seen.

Capture the king!

It was not until this moment that the end game of the four bandits' capture of the king finally burst out with indescribable charm. The situation where they were disinfecting each other in the realm of Chu, He and Han actually made the middle-aged man feel like he was really on the battlefield. The same thing as playing against a counselor.

Every move in this game is extremely dangerous.

What surprised the middle-aged man the most was that the boy in front of him was not very old, but he didn't hesitate at all when he abandoned his son and changed sides.

It is important not to abandon or give up, but war is war. How can there be no sacrifice in war?

He quietly looked at the young man in front of him, who was also looking at him, his face solemn and stubborn.

It seems that in this desperate situation, they are fighting to find a way out and open up a new life.

He understood that he was playing chess, and the opponent was trying to survive in an environment surrounded by ferocious steel beasts, so his attitude was different.

No one noticed that at this moment, 81 of the 210 surveillance cameras in the prison fortress were turned directly towards Qingchen.

There was a vortex shrinking in the black surveillance camera, as if it was trying to focus on Qingchen's face.

No one knows who is focusing behind the surveillance camera.

The middle-aged man smiled and knocked the veteran black player upside down on the chessboard: "It's interesting. Not many people can play chess these days. Let's continue tomorrow."

After saying that, he walked towards the library area with his hands behind his back, leaving the chessboard on the dining table where no one dared to move it.

The gray cat on the table stood up and followed quietly behind the middle-aged man.

When the cat lies down, it looks like a ball of hair, which doesn’t look very big.

However, when he stretched it out, Qingchen realized that the cat was over one meter long and extremely strong.

Ordinary cats walk lightly and are called catwalks, but this cat walked like a tiger.

Everyone in the square who was paying attention to this place was stunned. Was this endgame actually won by the young man?

To be honest, they didn't understand chess either, and when the two sides played blind chess, they couldn't understand it even more.

There are too many entertainment activities in this era, each of which is more exciting and fun than chess.

They can use chips to directly obtain pleasure, and can also log their consciousness into the virtual network. This is an era where happiness is very cheap. There are very few people playing chess. No matter how good you are at playing chess, can you still beat artificial intelligence?

However, what surprised them about Qingchen's victory over the middle-aged man was that in their eyes, how could the middle-aged man lose?

Whether it's playing chess or fighting, how can the other side lose?

To be honest, Qingchen was a little surprised. This middle-aged man obviously didn't even have mechanical limbs, not even the two followers around him. Why did he have such a high prestige in this prison where steel beasts were rampant?

The young man who stopped Qingchen before blinked at him: "Awesome, my name is Lin Xiaoxiao, his name is Ye Wan, we will see you tomorrow."

After saying that, he and another young man named Ye Wan left in the footsteps of the middle-aged man.

Qingchen didn't even know the name of the middle-aged man at this time, he only knew the names of the two followers, but now it was undoubtedly a good start.

The condensed atmosphere in the square finally became lively until the middle-aged man took Ye Wan and Lin Xiaoxiao to the reading area.

The prisoner who had just been entertaining the newcomers was still pulling the newcomers into the cell. There were a total of 12 newcomers including him, and 9 of them had already been pulled in.

At this time, Qingchen looked at the prisoners again, but no one was interested in him anymore.

Suddenly, a young man with a mechanical leg ran up to Qingchen and said in a panic: "We have just come in, please help me, I will listen to you from now on."

The surrounding prisoners looked at him coldly. They were still a little unclear about the situation. Qingchen definitely couldn't move, but if the young man wanted to protect the other newcomers, then they were unwilling.

However, Qingchen turned a deaf ear to what the young man said and looked calm as if he hadn't heard anything.

The prisoners laughed and forcibly pulled the young man away.

Just listen to the young man yelling: "My uncle is the director of Changming Company in City No. 17, you..."

Before he could finish his words, the other prisoners burst into laughter: "Except for the five major companies, other companies are not worth mentioning. Let alone you. Even if your uncle comes to this prison fortress, he will have to be honest."

Qingchen listened to all this silently, absorbing all useful information. He had just been identifying the identities of these newcomers, and wanted to see if there were any other earthlings hiding among them.

He traveled back in time and had no memory of this world at all. Until now, he didn't even know how many years he had been sentenced.

Qingchen believed that other people had no memories, so those who could talk about interpersonal relationships outside prison like this young man were probably not his "fellow countrymen".

Among the 12 new inmates, the collapsed boy and he should be the only ones from Earth.

For some reason, Qingchen didn't feel depressed at all. Instead, he was looking forward to his completely different... life.

A completely different life.

This sentence sounds very tempting.

When your own life is already in a mess, someone puts a button in front of you and says: Press this and you will have an extraordinary life.

But there are two possibilities after pressing it.

Probably better.

It could be worse.

Do you press it?

Qingchen felt that he should be able to press it.

On earth, he seemed to have always been a redundant person. His father thought he was a burden, his mother had a new family, and his relatives rarely interacted with him.

Qingchen has spent two Spring Festivals alone.

Therefore, if your past life was all gloomy, then no matter how dangerous, unknown, and terrifying the new world is, it will still make people look forward to it.

This world is different. For Qingchen, coming here from the earth is like an adventure in life's rebellion, and it is also like a relief from the past.

If there hadn't been this incident about the countdown, he would have studied hard, worked hard to support himself, and then relied on his unique memory to get into a very good and far away university and never come back.

However, such a life still seems to be meaningless.

He believed that there were not many people who traveled with him on the earth. Even if there were thousands or tens of thousands, it would still be a small proportion compared to the total base.

This made him feel that he was special.

Countdown 39:31:29.

Qingchen silently looked at everything around him. He wanted to record all the information he could see so that he could analyze it slowly when he returned to the cell alone.

Above an alloy gate next to the square, there is a blue holographic projection showing the beating time, AM8:29.

The holographic image projected three-dimensionally looks so novel and eye-catching. It's 8:29 in the morning.

At this moment, a young man took advantage of the others to divert their attention and suddenly walked up to Qingchen and whispered: "You finally came in. You are as good-looking as the legend. I am Lu Guangyi. Qingyan arranged for me to be the three of you." If you come here before the moon, just call me Xiaolu.”

Qingchen: "???"

He was stunned for a moment and looked at the other party.

This young man named Lu Guangyi is about 24 or 5 years old. He has inch-long black hair. His right arm and left leg are equipped with mechanical limbs. He also has mechanical eyes. Qingchen can even see the spiral in the other person's eyes. The texture is changing focus.

This mechanical limb is different from most prisoners. It looks very sophisticated in terms of streamlined shape and material.

Qingchen searched his memory and traced the other party's behavior.

Only then did Qingchen realize that Lu Guangyi had looked at him 21 times in more than an hour, which was the number of times the other party was in his field of vision.

Qingchen didn't know who this person was, but the tone of his voice clearly meant that he knew him, and he used honorifics.

From what Lu Guangyi said, he seemed to have other motives for entering this prison fortress.

However, Qingchen was afraid that his time travel would be revealed, so he did not want to have much interaction with Lu Guangyi for the time being: "I don't need your help for the time being. I can just do some things myself."

Lu Guangyi shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, I have to take good care of you."

Qingchen also shook his head and said: "No one's personality is nobler than anyone else's, you don't need to use the word "serve".

At this time, Lu Guangyi said flatteringly: "No, you can use me as much as you want from now on, just treat me as your licking dog, the kind that licks your feet!"

Qingchen was speechless. What kind of person would say such bottomless words: "What if I have athlete's foot?"

Lu Guangyi said without any shame: "Then I can lick it for you!"

Qingchen was silent for a long time: "...Awesome."

Even though he was very restrained from talking nonsense, he couldn't help but sigh.

Qingchen was a little confused now. He clearly traveled through time with his body and consciousness, so why did he have such strange interpersonal relationships in the past?

In other words, in the eyes of people in this world, have I really lived in this world for so many years?

When Lu Guangyi saw that Qingchen was silent, he whispered: "This morning I was still wondering why you didn't come to me as soon as possible. It turns out that you planned to approach Li Shutong as a newcomer. It's so clever. In this Prison No. 18 In the fortress, if we can get help from Li Shutong, our plan will go more smoothly."

Qingchen: "..."

what's the plan.

what are you saying.

Can you make it clearer? !

Lu Guangyi continued as if talking to himself: "I have been here for more than three months and have gathered a group of people who can be used for you. Find Shuyuan www.zhaｏshuyuａ.com Don't worry, they will not The chain will fall off."

The young man was chattering.

Qingchen felt that Lu Guangyi seemed a bit talkative, but he just listened silently, not knowing how to respond.

It's like playing "Who's the Undercover" when you take a blank card and have to wait until everyone has finished speaking before you can speak, otherwise the words others take are all "pee", and you are the first to speak and say you can drink. There will be big problems.

He searched in his mind and found that during breakfast, Lu Guangyi was surrounded by hundreds of people, each of whom was equipped with a mechanical limb.

It seems that these people are the "underlings" recruited by Lu Guangyi after he came in.

Seeing that Qingchen was still silent, Lu Guangyi asked in a low voice again: "However, you must also be careful about Li Shutong. Getting along with such a person is like trying to get skin from a tiger. It might make us passive... Sorry, I'm too talkative." ”

At this time, Qingchen realized that the Li Shutong the other party was talking about was probably the middle-aged man.

When Lu Guangyi saw that he came in, he immediately went to play chess with Li Shutong, but he mistakenly thought that he came with a mission.

However, he approached Li Shutong not for some bullshit plan, but to survive.

"What instructions did you bring in this time?" Lu Guangyi suddenly asked.

Qingchen slowly turned his head and looked at the young man: "A lama has come from the south."

youth:"???"

Qingchen ignored him and turned around to leave, leaving Lu Guangyi to stay where he was and said blankly: "A lama came from the south? What kind of lama?"
