Chapter 296: Guardian Beasts of Each Province
When you encounter a situation like this with an undercover agent, it's time to search for evidence. Unfortunately, the three brothers on TV are all incompetent in the show and are totally not good at finding clues.
They decided to recruit allies. It had already been determined that they were going to fight against an undercover agent, so the nature of the game changed and those who needed to form an alliance had to do so.
The lucky carp Yang Chaoyue is everyone's priority target for alliance. Her ability to find clues is truly amazing, and her luck is so good that it's like she has cheated.
Some netizens have suspected that the program team deliberately placed these evidences and clues in the path that Yang Chaoyue had to take so that he could discover them and maintain her lucky character.
However, the program team later invited lucky audience members to guest star as staff members, proving that Yang Chaoyue was indeed a good find and it was not a posed photo.
Therefore, the members also admired the power of Koi and started looking for it immediately.
Yang Chaoyue didn't meet Qi Long, but met Gao Dongqiang, who had just deceived him. Dongqiang grabbed Qi Long's neck and said, "You are deceiving me, right? There is also an intercom in Gal's room. You told me that you didn't find anything."
"Brother Qiang, this is not a detective show. Only the real murderer can lie. At that time, I thought it was a one-on-one battle and was on guard against you. Now I am sure that we are on the same side!" Qi Long said guiltily.
Dong Qiang let go of Qi Long and wondered: "It's not a personal battle now, what does that mean?"
Qi Long told Dong Qiang about the zombies they saw on TV: "So we have to look for clues. I'll share another one with you. Look at these rooms. There are animals or mythical beasts on the doorways. I don't know what they mean."
"How do you know I'm not a zombie?" Dong Qiang looked at Qi Long with a bad smile.
Qi Long pushed him: "Stop acting. If you were a zombie, I would have been dead when we ran into each other in the corridor. You will never give up on infecting me!"
"Hahaha, that's true!" Dong Qiang agreed with Qi Long's analysis and then went to look at the mythical beast at the door of the room.
These rooms are decorated with pictures of the mythical bird Vermilion Bird, a giant python and a gigantic monkey. Again, there is no apparent special meaning to them.
The two of them traveled together, and when Dongqiang was buying an iced drink from a vending machine, he discovered a clue card in the gap between the vending machine and the wall.
Get the clue: [Zombies are afraid of dark places. If they stay in a dark place for one minute, their whole body will become stiff and their movements will become slow! ]
"Oh, it seems that these dim corridors without lights are the safe areas!" Qi Long said.
Dong Qiang shook his head: "This safe zone is not safe. They still have one minute to attack. It can only serve as a basis for judgment. Come on, follow me to the unlit corridor!"
Qi Long also had this idea. Although it was highly likely that Dongqiang was fine, he still had to test it.
The two of them stood in a dark place and waited for each other. After one minute, their useless tacit understanding made them both start stiff actions at the same time.
Then they both laughed in unison and backed away: "You're a zombie!"
Then they laughed together again. Well, they wanted to scare their partner together. In fact, they were both human beings. They shook hands and bumped shoulders formally, reaching a solid alliance, which was more solid than any vegetarian alliance.
After all, the three of them who were unlucky and were vegetarians had also gone to great lengths to get the reward of meat, and they were also suspected of being zombies.
The two men discussed that if they met someone next time, they would force him into darkness for a minute, so that they could identify him.
While discussing tactics, Qi Long discovered that there was also a picture at the door of the room in the dim place. He turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and shone it on the picture at the door of the room.
This time it was a huge sheep, with the same murderous look in its eyes, looking very majestic.
The difference is that there is another message in the dim picture. Qi Long points to something next to the sheep: "Guangcheng Tower!"
Dongqiang came over and said, "Oh, so Yang means Guangcheng, and Guangcheng is also called Yangcheng!"
Qi Long came to the door of the next room, and this time there was a dragon perched on the Great Wall!
"The Imperial Capital!" Dong Qiang immediately gave the answer.
The two partners looked at each other and understood. Qi Long began to analyze, "That is to say, these animals are not just animals, they represent the provinces of China. The reason why these animals are so majestic is because they are the guardian beasts of each province!"
"Hey, that makes sense!" Dong Qiang nodded: "Then Teacher Qi, please analyze for us what the animals you have seen represent."
Qi Long first talked about his room: "The photo at the door of my room is a crane-like mythical beast. In our Jilin Province wetland, there is a large area of red-crowned crane protection area, which means that the red-crowned crane represents the patron saint of Jilin Province!"
"Hey, what about my black Qilin?"
"Jin Province, the two most famous things in Jin Province are coal and vinegar. Both are black. Didn't you love eating coal balls dipped in vinegar when you were a kid?"
"never heard of that!"
"You must be kidding. The fire is burning in the furnace. The coal burning in our Jin Province supplies heating and electricity to more than a dozen provinces and cities in China. This is something we should be most proud of!"
"Makes sense!"
The panda represents Sichuan Province, the monkey can be said to be the "Malou" of Guizhou Province, and there is no need to mention Henan Province. The radical of Henan is "elephant", so the elephant represents Henan Province.
The two brothers talked as they walked, just like they were performing crosstalk. Qi Long analyzed them one by one, and with the knowledge of a crosstalk actor, he deduced many provinces represented by the guardian beasts.
As they walked, they came to a place with lights on. Dongqiang looked at the guardian beast at the door of the room and was puzzled:
"Hey, Mr. Qi, the things about animals make sense, but what does this plant mean?"
Qi Long moved closer and saw a humanoid creature with her arms outstretched, like a fairy, but the ribbon on the fairy's body was not a ribbon, but beans, and you could even see the beans inside.
This puzzled Qi Long, and he shook his head: "I don't know. Qiqi City's oil beans are very famous. We use those beans to stew pork ribs in Northeast China, but we have seen Heilongjiang Province. Northeast tigers, this can't be Heilongjiang Province!"
"No matter what, they are all animals. This room is full of plants. It's very strange. Let's go in and take a look!" Dongqiang couldn't figure it out either, so the two decided to go in and search to see if there were any clues.
However, it was not. The room was opened and it turned out to be a room where the staff lived. There was nothing inside except their personal luggage.
The two people who had gained nothing walked out the door. As soon as they walked out the door, they heard a voice of "Hey!"
Qi Long was frightened, and Dong Qiang's eyes widened. Shen Teng, who had successfully pulled off the prank, smiled triumphantly and asked, "Did you find the treasure?"
"Brother Teng, you scared me to death, but we still can't find him!" Qi Long waved his hand.
Shen Teng is also a suspect, so don't expose him for the time being. However, you can work with Dong Qiang to carry him to a dark place, control him for a minute, and see what happens.
Qi Long winked at Dong Qiang, who nodded slightly to show that he understood.
So Qi Long pretended to share clues with Shen Teng, saying that the signs on the door of the room seemed to represent various provinces, but he didn't know which province the beans belonged to. Shen Teng laughed: "Look, look, you missed the TV station. Some people said that the logo of Shandong TV station looked like beans, so this became the Shandong Province that everyone joked about!"
"Oh"
Shen Teng opened his backpack and began to share evidence: "Did you meet a beautiful woman who gave you something today? The one from your company, she gave me a box of cookies."
Qi Long saw that the biscuits had been opened, so he immediately took two pieces and started eating: "Brother Teng, this is really practical!"
Dongqiang picked up the biscuit box as well and looked at it carefully.
Looking at the serious Gao Dongqiang, Shen Teng swallowed quietly.
At this time, Dongqiang sent the biscuits back: "The calories are too high"
"You really are the one who always looks at calories in everything you do, eh?" Just as Shen Teng was about to take the biscuit, Qi Long hugged him from behind. Dong Qiang went up and carried Shen Teng and ran towards the dim corridor.
"Hey, what are you doing? Put me down. There's something wrong with you two!" Shen Teng hit Dongqiang's shoulder, but there was no way Dongqiang would let go. He resolutely carried out the plan.
Qi Long followed behind him with his hand on Dongqiang's name tag to prevent Shen Teng from taking the opportunity to tear off Dongqiang's name tag.
This is not to protect Dongqiang, but mainly to protect themselves. Once Dongqiang becomes a zombie, they will be lambs to be slaughtered.
Shen Teng: "It's not appropriate. Fighting someone in a big hotel?"
Anxious Shen Teng opened his mouth and bit Dongqiang's shoulder.
"Oh!" Dongqiang felt pain and his hand loosened. Shen Teng jumped down and ran away without standing firmly. While running, he was still shouting: "Qi Long and Dongqiang are problematic. They are both bad guys!!!"
Qi Long chased after him: "Brother Teng, this is a misunderstanding, we want to verify you!"
"You're kidding! Who knows which room the elimination method will be to carry people to!" Shen Teng didn't believe it and shouted while running.
Soon, everyone ran into the darkness, and Qi Long stood still: "Brother Teng, we won't move, let's talk!"
"Let's chat!" Shen Teng stopped.
Qi Long started chatting awkwardly, talking about the gift he received from the girl. In short, he was just stalling for time. Soon, one minute had passed. Qi Long stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Teng, I was wrong to suspect you!"
"What do you mean?"
"This issue is actually a zombie special." Qi Long told him the information he knew. It has been verified. Brother Teng is fine, so they can form an alliance.
The two-person team became a three-person team, and the three unanimously decided to capture the person together in the dark for verification.
"Let's take a break first, let's take a break first. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have come with you. You just carried the person and ran away. How scary!" Shen Teng complained while leaning against the wall.
To apologize, Qi Long prepared to buy a drink from a nearby vending machine. But when he walked to the vending machine, he found that it was not plugged in. He looked back curiously and found that the device that was plugged in was a laptop with a headset connected to it.
I picked up the headphones and put them on. I pressed the spacebar and the video started playing automatically. This time, the video was shot by the company's singer-songwriter Lu Hu. It was also news: "The latest information: zombies will become stiff in the dark for one minute. This only applies to ordinary zombies. The mother zombie will not become stiff. Please be careful to identify them, fellow citizens."
When Qi Long heard this, his eyes widened to express his shock.
It’s just that “Let’s Run” is not that simple. Simple games are all disguises. Such reversals and complex clues are the highlights.
Zombies are divided into mother zombies and ordinary zombies. In this way, Dongqiang and Shen Teng cannot be completely trusted.
Dongqiang is better. After all, he is on the same path as me. Unless he wants to raise his own pigs, he would have torn me apart long ago.
And there is absolutely no need to raise pigs, because if he is a mother zombie, if he tears himself apart, he will become his obedient little brother. Why bother raising pigs?
Qi Long is a little hesitant to go back now. Who knows if Dongqiang has been changed by Shen Teng?
Qi Long was still thinking when another video came on, this time it was about how to control zombies.
It is said that a joint research institute of six provinces has developed a method to eliminate zombies. As long as we find these six provinces, we can get weapons to fight zombies.
At this point, the patron saints of each province at the door of the room came into use.
But the problem is, which six provinces are they? There are quite a few in China, and the room distribution is extremely uneven. Not every room has animal pictures, but only the rooms booked by the program team have these pictures.
It would be too much work to search for them one by one.
At this time, Qi Long remembered the words he read when he was studying hairspray, and he even complained about reading hairspray in the toilet.
He took out the hairspray and found the words "Ji Province" on the place of origin of the hairspray.
Perhaps, the origin of the things that we six ordinary people have obtained is the location of these six research institutes.
"Wow, program team, I apologize for thinking your design was too simple this morning. It was all a foreshadowing." Qi Long sighed towards the camera.
After getting up, Qi Long still bought a drink and walked towards the dim place where Dongqiang and the others were. However, when he got there, he found that the two men had disappeared.
There is a problem, there is a big problem
Shen Teng only ate meat at noon, and the props were not food like ours. If he was a mother zombie, Dongqiang would have been killed.
Without time to think, Qi Long put down his drink and began to look for Ji Province's room. As he looked, he guessed: "Ji Province is famous for its donkey meat hotpot. Could it be a donkey? It's hard to draw a donkey so majestically, right?"
"Crocodile, Yangtze alligator, this should be the giant python from Anhui Province, the Legend of the White Snake in Hangzhou from Jiangsu Province? No, no, it looks like Min, Min is also called snake" Qi Long analyzed, and the photographer Quan Kai next to him was already full of admiration, his knowledge reserve was really amazing.
Originally, the production team wanted them to guess, but Qi Long's answer seemed like a standard one.
"Lions. There is no place in China that is famous for lions." Qi Long said, and patted his head: "The iron lion, the iron lion in Cangzhou that was damaged due to poor cultural relic protection, this is Hebei Province!"
Qi Long pushed the door open and found a box with the R logo under the table. When he opened it, he found a huge water gun.
It says on the water gun that as long as you put a special solvent into the gun and shoot the opponent's nameplate, you can eliminate the zombies!
There is a gun but no bullets. It seems I have to keep looking for it!
