Falls Asleep Immediately, Honest and Fair Dealing

The temperature is getting lower and lower.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

until--

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The loud noise meant that the ice had broken and the door had finally been opened!

but...

Yang Kexin and the others stared at the intact gate, lost in thought...

Yes, the sound was coming from another small building!

Everyone turned around in astonishment and saw that the man and four women from before had already entered the house next door!

"???"

Sun Tao frowned: "Isn't this ridiculous..."

...

The interior of the small building was pitch black and filled with dust, making it even colder than the outside.

The living facilities were also pitifully few, consisting only of a bed, chair, and wardrobe, nothing else.

But at least it can keep out the cold wind.

Chen Yu immediately sat on the bed and stretched.

"Who is that pretty girl? How does she know you? I've never heard you mention her before."

Li Mengyao, as the ex-girlfriend, was the first to step forward and ask.

Chen Yu was taken aback, then retorted, "Do I need to report to you who I know?"

Li Mengyao couldn't answer, and could only hum in response.

That girl from just now.

Chen Yu certainly knew him.

Because that heavy octagonal hammer was obtained from her transaction.

Just now, she was the first to recognize me and show me kindness.

Chen Yu guessed that the reason she recognized him was because...

It was probably the name I gave before entering the mission, in order to make a deal.

Zhang Wanyue sighed, "Absolute Zero Wave, they've arrived so early, the other teams are going to have a tough time..."

Chen Yu nodded and took out the geothermal core prototype from his backpack.

There are still more than two hundred seconds until the absolute zero wave erupts.

But the surrounding temperature...

It's almost below minus forty degrees Celsius!

If we don't take it out soon, we'll be living in misery!

The heat was confined to a radius of one meter, which perfectly enveloped the interior of the small building!

Wang Mengmeng rubbed her little hands together and exclaimed in surprise, "(⊙o⊙) Wow, amazing! It warmed up so quickly!"

Deng Yuxin also stretched her waist: "It feels like being under a thick blanket and having air conditioning on in the summer~~~"

But a discordant sound drifted in from outside the small building—

"Over here! It's so warm over here!"

"Quick! Two hundred seconds left on the countdown!"

"Make way! Let me in first!"

"I hope there aren't any prototypes in this room; it's so warm!"

The sound of hurried footsteps rapidly approached!

The eight-person team from before suddenly tumbled and crawled to the door!

The boy named Sun Tao was at the very front!

"Prototype! That must be a prototype!"

A girl cried out, pointing at the metal ball at Chen Yu's feet, her voice filled with excitement!

Sun Tao, also panting heavily, said, "This level of hype... it's truly a prototype..."

Not just the two of them, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Yu's feet.

Envy, jealousy, and greed were almost impossible to conceal.

Yang Kexin finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd: "What are you doing! Didn't you just say you wouldn't cooperate with them? Now you're running away faster than anyone else!"

She was a little angry!

Sun Tao ignored them, only revealing a smile as he looked at Chen Yu and the others:

"Excuse me, I was blind to your true nature. Absolute zero wave is coming right away. If we were outside, we would surely be dead. Could you please let us in to take shelter?"

"Yes, yes! Let us stay for a little while!"

"We can barter for supplies! Food! Water!"

Please!

A cacophony of voices rang out in agreement.

Chen Yu slowly stood up, his movements unhurried and deliberate.

Instead of answering Sun Tao directly, he placed his fingers on the clips of the prototype and gently twisted them.

hum-

The warm ring centered on the prototype visibly shrank a bit!

The crowd, who were barely managing to get some warmth from the edges...

I instantly felt a chill envelop my back!

Startled, they cried out "Ah!" and scrambled to squeeze further into the middle!

Chen Yu then raised his eyes: "Who let you in?"

Sun Tao quickly explained, "Classmates, we can't just stand by and watch someone die! We just kindly reminded you about Director Yu's situation!"

Chen Yu chuckled: "It was Yang Kexin who reminded me. What does that have to do with you?"

Sun Tao was taken aback: "You...you know him?"

Yang Kexin whispered, "The crayfish in our car were traded with him. His name is Chen Yu."

Sun Tao then realized, "Oh dear! Look at this, the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, it's all fate..."

"I don't know you well."

Chen Yu interrupted his clumsy attempt to get close: "I'll only say this once, get out."

"Don't fucking go too far!"

Behind Sun Tao, a burly young man suddenly raised his head: "So what if you have a piece of junk? There are so many of us, believe it or not..."

puff!

His words abruptly ended!

Because Chen Yu had already chopped his head off with an axe!

This time, no one questioned it anymore!

Sun Tao and the others looked grim, somewhat at a loss...

"Over here! The heat is coming out from here!"

"Quick! Follow Director Yu!"

"The door is open! And there's light inside!"

"The students must have found the prototype!"

Just as the stalemate was at hand, more noise came from outside the building.

Director Yu's familiar voice rang out: "Students inside! Show some consideration and make way! Let the students in the back go in and give way!"

A huge crowd was packed at the entrance, with Director Yu surrounded in the middle!

He clearly saw the corpse and bloodstains on the ground, and his pupils contracted...

But he coughed and forced his way into the small building: "It's an emergency! As the school's administrative director, I'm requesting that you temporarily share this..."

When he looked up.

I saw that familiar face.

They were stunned.

"Chen Yu???"

Director Yu's lips twitched; this was troublesome.

This little bastard in front of me doesn't fall for moral blackmail at all.

He was kicked off the car last time.

Why him of all people?!

"Cough cough."

Director Yu is in a dilemma.

But Chen Yu suddenly changed his mind: "Director Yu, you're right. The situation is urgent now, and we're all classmates, so it's only right that we help each other."

Director Yu: "?"

Sun Tao: "?"

The corpse on the ground: "?"

Director Yu had initially thought this guy had reformed, and his expression had just relaxed a little.

Chen Yu's next words made everyone's hearts tighten again: "However, the prototype's energy is limited, and the more people squeeze in, the faster it will be consumed."

"Here's the deal: anyone who wants to come in and enjoy the warmth will be charged per person per minute. Each person must hand over ten bottles of drinking water or other supplies of equivalent value. First come, first served. No credit allowed."

"Those who buy on credit, just like this student on the ground, fall asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow—we're honest with everyone, young and old!"

"?"

Nobody knows how "falling asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow" is paired with "honest and trustworthy to all ages"...

But Chen Yu glanced at the countdown: "One hundred seconds left."

"Whoosh!"

"Ten bottles of water? And in one minute?! Why don't you just rob me?!"

"We don't even have that much stuff in all our possessions combined!"

"Chen Yu! You're profiting from disaster! You're driving everyone to their deaths!"

"We're all classmates, don't you have any humanity left?!"
