Chapter 535: Could You Please Shut Up
Chapter 535: Could You Please Shut Up
Leon Hernandez was really straightforward, not even trying to hide his intentions.
Not whispering it to his companion in private, but simply saying it out loud at a normal volume.
“What can I do, I’ve become a fan of the 10 cringy members of the Pingla Group.”
“They are so impressive! Hahaha!”
“What did you say!” Blake Walker suddenly turned back, looking at Leon Hernandez with displeasure.
“Didn’t you hear? Want me to say it again?” Leon said without a care.
Daniel Vahn pulled Leon back a bit, signaling enough was enough.
Blake Walker scanned the knives they had chosen, and his gaze paused on Jasmine Hudson’s hand.
Jasmine Hudson was actually holding a bone-cleaving knife.
The bone-clever was big and heavy, and there was a huge contrast with it being held by a young girl like Jasmine Hudson.
Blake Walker sneered in his heart. The bone-cleaver was indeed big and could chop quickly, but it wasn’t suitable for delicate work.
He really didn’t know what Jasmine Hudson was thinking when she chose the bone-cleaver.
Moreover, the bone-cleaver was heavy, which added unnecessary weight to her bag.
Six hours in the wilderness was not to be underestimated, especially with this bit of extra weight.
At first, one might not think this little weight was a big deal.
But once one had walked for a long time, with the extra weight, it would become more and more noticeable, and the presence of this burden would grow stronger.
Blake Walker weighed the multitool in his hand and admitted that Cindy Clarke’s choice was a bit smart.
However, even without considering Cindy Clarke’s choice, he would have ultimately chosen the same knife.
So, it had nothing to do with whether he saw Cindy Clarke’s choice or not!
Moreover, most of the other people had chosen the same type of knife.
As Blake Walker walked back towards Leon, he said, “I just chose a bit slower, how did that make me learn from Cindy Clarke?”
“All of you who chose the same knife, did you also learn from Cindy Clarke?” Blake Walker said sarcastically.
“We did choose the same type of knife, but we all made the decision at almost the same time. Not like you.” Jasmine Hudson suddenly lifted her bone-cleaver.
Blake Walker was startled and took several steps back instinctively.
He knew that Jasmine Hudson wouldn’t really chop him.
But moving back was still the subconscious reaction.
Then he saw Jasmine Hudson lift the bone-cleaver, and with the back of the blade facing down, she placed it on her shoulder.
“Why are you backing up? I can’t cut you anyway.” Jasmine Hudson laughed sarcastically.
Blake Walker’s face turned sullen, feeling that they were all ganging up on him to ridicule him.
Blake Walker went back to his team in the corner, not talking to them.
“Everyone, grab your things and let’s go,” Grace Green said hastily, not letting Jasmine Hudson continue talking.
Things like cutting people couldn’t be said in a live broadcast.
Everyone was led onto the bus.
Then, the curtains inside the bus were all pulled up.
The bus curtains had been specially replaced with black ones that didn’t let any light through.
As soon as the curtains were pulled up, the inside of the bus became pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
One could hardly see their own hand in front of them.
After that, the lights inside the bus were turned on.
Although it was sunny outside, not a bit of light penetrated inside the bus, relying solely on the interior lighting.
It gave people the illusion that it was already dark outside.
At this time, the staff followed Grace Green onboard.
Grace Green said, “Now, our staff will distribute blindfolds to you all. Please put on the blindfolds and do not take them off until you have reached the destination.”
After that, the staff handed out blindfolds to everyone.
Parker Honi, holding his blindfold, said, “If it weren’t for so many people around, and since I know all of them, I’d really suspect that I’m about to be kidnapped.”
Grace Green: “…”
What’s wrong with the Pingla Academy students today!
They talked about cutting people and kidnapping!
What if this live broadcast spreads and relevant departments come to investigate later?
“It’s just a joke.” Grace Green said with a twitching corner of her mouth, “This is to maintain the mystery of our destination.”
Daniel Vahn put on his blindfold and said, “Actually, although Belfard is big, there aren’t many real wilderness places. There are only some suburban hills and such. Based on the duration of the trip, it won’t be too far. Once the range is narrowed down, there are only a few places left, and it’s easy to guess.”
Grace Green: “…”
Could you please shut up?
Making sure everyone had put on their blindfolds.
Grace Green said, “Before arriving at the destination, don’t take off your blindfolds. Our director’s car will be following behind. In the car, everything you do can be seen on the screen by the director. If anyone takes off their blindfold, they will be eliminated automatically.”
“I will be in this car with all of you, so please rest assured.” Grace Green said, then sat in the front and told the driver to start.
Each of the 15 contestants occupied a single double seat on their own.
Since there was plenty of space in the bus, there was no need to squeeze together.
However, no one expected that they would be unable to see as soon as they got on the bus.
It was as if their vision was sealed off.
Because one of the five senses was lost, it was now impossible to even estimate how much time had passed, let alone see anything around them.
They didn’t know what others were doing and didn’t know where they were now.
Even if someone wanted to attack them maliciously at this time, they wouldn’t know and could only sit and wait for their fate.
The bus suddenly fell into a quiet atmosphere that was full of pressure.
Only the sound of the tires moving, the engine running, and the occasional bumps remained.
In such silence, Aiden Huxley spoke, “Hey Old Tian, doesn’t our current situation remind you of something from a horror movie?”
“You know, things like murder games or ‘when it’s dark, close your eyes.’ I mean, we can’t see anything now, it’s pitch black, and the atmosphere is great. If someone was killed in the confusion, they wouldn’t even know what had happened,” Aiden Huxley said.
Parker Honi: “…”
“I’m not afraid!” Parker Honi said loudly.
“No one said you were scared,” Aiden Huxley snickered mischievously twice.
Parker Honi happened to be sitting right in front of him.
Even though Aiden Huxley couldn’t see, he still confidently and carefully reached out.
His hands touched the back of the front seat first, then he stretched his head forward: “I’m just telling you.”
As he spoke, he blew a cool breath into Parker Honi’s ear.
“Ah!” Parker Honi was so scared that he jumped up from his seat and screamed at the same time.
Everyone in the bus was startled.
Everyone instinctively wanted to take off their blindfold.
Thankfully, they still remembered Grace Green’s words.
Their hands rested on their blindfolds but ultimately stopped.
They barely held back.
“Old Tian, what are you doing?” Aiden Huxley laughed without any guilt.
Parker Honi returned to his seat with a flushed face, his heart still pounding fast.
“Just you wait!” Parker Honi said angrily.
Aiden Huxley leaned on Parker Honi’s seat and said, “Old Tian, listen, with our eyes covered like this, we don’t know if there are ghosts or whatnot. If there’s a ghost face looking at you right next to you, you wouldn’t know.”
