Chapter 72 A team looking for Yun Fuyu was attacked in the middle of the night

Chao Zhao was still watching from afar, but he was restless.

After a few seconds, my thoughts were in a mess again.

Why haven’t you come out yet?

Won’t the others who went in be eaten?

Chao Zhao was so upset that he forgot that if a freshman died unexpectedly or withdrew from the competition, the system would make a unified announcement and he, the invigilator closest to the examiner, would also receive a prompt immediately.

It will never be like this, silent.

Chao Zhao held his forehead with his hands, frowning.

If Yun Fuyu was trapped by the mutant and watched his teammates die...

Chao Zhao stared at the cave entrance, feeling as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and his heart was in a constant struggle.

After a long time, he stood up and kicked the tree trunk hard!

The entire ancient tree made a crackling sound as it could not bear the weight.

Just thinking of Yun Fuyu curled up in the corner and crying made Chao Zhao feel particularly annoyed.

I was annoyed and unwilling to accept it.

But soon, Chao Zhao found a reasonable explanation for his behavior.

Yun Fu Yu is mine, why should it be soiled by this filthy thing?

One minute. Just one more minute... No, half a minute.

If they didn't move, Chao Zhao would dig the ground himself.

According to military exercise rules, invigilators cannot actively intervene in combat without students asking for help.

But who is Chao Zhao?

So what if it’s a violation? It’s not the first time anyway.

If you have the guts, kick him out of school.

Chao Zhao has an extraordinary gift of mental strength.

If the mental power of an ordinary B-level student is compared to a small stream, and the S-level student is compared to a big river, then Chao Zhao's spiritual realm is a deep sapphire sea.

Before half a minute had passed, Chao Zhao quickly and urgently released his mental power, probing towards the ground.

The soil layer is very thick, and there is a mental shielding device, so the detected direction may not be accurate.

If it were someone else, they would probably go in through the cave entrance.

But Chao Zhao couldn't wait any longer.

What's there to not dig...just lift up the soil on top!

Only Chao Zhao could come up with such an action that consumes a huge amount of mental energy.

Chao Zhao counted down silently in his heart faster and faster.

10, 9, 8.....7654321!

At the moment the countdown ended, the mental force that was ready to go out penetrated directly into the soil layer, prying the thick humus and rock fragments, trying to lift up the soil layer that was hundreds or even dozens of meters deep.

A little more troublesome than expected.

Chao Zhao clicked his tongue.

He wanted to find someone quickly, but was afraid of causing the cave to collapse, so he penetrated several points with his mental strength and carefully dug it open layer by layer.

The tunnel shook violently.

The huge tree roots that were twisted and stretched beneath the ground and the firmly packed soil layers were all like butter being cut by a hot knife in the face of the unstoppable mental force.

Chao Zhao cut through the obstacles with ease.

Then, the mental force attacked the bottom of the soil layer steadily and evenly, lifting the huge piece of soil into the air.

The soil fluttered down, slowly moved away, and fell heavily on the empty ground nearby, crushing countless branches.

Repeat this several times until the hole is successfully dug.

But when Chao Zhao saw the inside of the cave, his face turned pale instantly.

The supply box was wide open, and there was nothing inside.

There were only three people who had fainted, kneeling on the ground in a panic with their faces on the ground, their buttocks facing him.

Chao Zhao took a deep breath, barely controlling his anger.

After digging hard for a long time, Yun Fuyu and his teammates had already escaped from the other exit!

Not only that, Chao Zhao's communicator suddenly started beeping wildly.

Messages came in one after another, relentlessly.

Requests for video communications also followed.

"Zhaohui: What's wrong with you?"

"Zhaohui: Come back, quickly"

"Zhaohui: Is he dead? If not, please reply as soon as possible."

It shouldn't be called a communication request, but a notification, or a threat.

Chao Zhao hung up the call with a dark face, feeling extremely annoyed, and was about to block Chao Hui.

As a result, Zhaohui's new news rushed into his eyes.

"Zhaohui: Yuanshuyuan heard about what happened two days ago."

"Zhaohui: I'm only warning you once. If you continue to leave this mess alone, I'll personally go and take Yun Fuyu away."

"Zhaohui: I can't control the people on your side. They'll be here soon, so just wish you the best."

Chao Zhao held the communicator tightly.

Damn it.

The matter of Chao Zhao kidnapping Yun Fuyu was previously resolved privately by a few people.

But now, if the old men from the Chao family want to take Yun Fuyu away, things will become even more troublesome.

Chao Zhao looked in the direction where Yun Fuyu escaped, gritting his teeth.

Finally, he turned his head unwillingly, leaped through the woods, and ran towards the command center.

————————

“…Wake up…Wake up!”

Song Jian felt as if his whole body had been run over by an elephant and had a severe headache.

It felt like someone was pushing him.

Song Jian forced himself to open his eyes.

He lay face down on the ground in a mess. When he opened his eyes, he could only see the shoes of the person next to him.

"He's awake."

A male voice behind me said.

"Why are you here?"

Song Jian opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

The man rummaged through his backpack for a moment, took out a bottle of water, and handed it to Song Jian's mouth.

Only then did Song Jian feel his throat was extremely dry and sore. He didn't know how long it had been since he had a drink of water.

Song Jian struggled to stand up, and drank it all in one gulp from the man's hand.

"Slow down, don't choke."

After drinking the water, Song Jian felt that the dizziness had recovered a little, and he finally had the strength to say thank you.

"Thanks......"

"Get up."

The boy reached out to pull him up. As soon as Song Jian stretched out his hand, he found that there was dirt between his fingers, while the other person's hands were very clean.

Song Jian's hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air, but the other party seemed not to care and took the initiative to reach out and hold Song Jian's hand.

I looked up from the direction of his hand...it was someone I had never seen before, with black hair and black eyes.

Of course Song Jian felt embarrassed to let him exert any effort, so he supported himself on the ground and staggered to his feet.

But the person behind the boy seems to be... Shi Ling?

Song Jian knew Shi Ling.

Born into an aristocratic family, she was a famous socialite and seemed to be the chief exclusive tutor. She was very high-profile in the school. Even an ordinary civilian student like him who was excluded from the circle had heard of him.

The man: "I'm the captain of Team 28. Where are your teammates? Why are you alone?"

Song Jian: "I..."

His memory returned and he tried to recall it for a moment.

His teammates used him as bait, but ended up attracting strange monsters.

At the critical moment, his teammates left him behind and ran away first.

Fortunately, Zhou Bai's team was willing to rescue him. While escaping, Song Jian was hit on the head by branches, so he fainted.

And then...what happened?

Song Jian had no memory at all. He only felt that his whole body had been hit hard and his arm seemed to be broken.

Song Jian looked back blankly, and was shocked to find that the ground in this primeval forest seemed to have been completely cleared!

The sunlight shone unhindered on the bare, empty ground, with only the dark brown soil exposed, stretching for thousands of meters, or even further.

...Before he passed out, there were trees all around him!

What was even more shocking was the huge hole behind him that had been dug out with no idea how.

The pit was extremely deep, with dirt piled up on both sides like small hills, and in between were branches of fallen giant trees.

Song Jian stuttered.

"W-What's going on..."

How could there be such a big pit before the coma?

Where is he now?

Could it be that he was dragged to another place by the mutant?

The other shrugged. "I don't know. When we heard the noise and rushed over, you were already lying there like this. We thought you were dead."

Song Jian's mind was in a mess.

The captain observed his expression: "Where are your teammates?"

"My teammates... they used me as bait before..."

Song Jian stuttered and told everything he could remember.

When he mentioned Zhou Bai's name, the two boys standing behind him looked at each other calmly.

One person gestured: Is it him?

The other nodded slightly.

That's right.

Song Jian was the last person to meet Yun Fuyu's team.

Team 28 made a special trip to record the appearance and team affiliation of all new students.

Not long ago, they heard the broadcast on the central system.

In just over ten minutes, Team 81 quickly eliminated Song Jian's four teammates.

And Team 28... happened to be looking for Yun Fu Yu.

After Song Jian finished speaking haltingly, a boy next to him pointed to the center of the pit.

"Did you see the mutant corpse? We suspect that Zhou Bai's team, along with your former teammates, used you as bait after you fell unconscious."

Song Jian panicked: "How is this possible? They saved me..."

Captain: "What if they saved you just to find a bait?"

Another person said: "They also left you in the middle of a big pit. If a star beast passed by, you would be dead."

Song Jian's mind was in a mess.

"this......"

"Don't you want revenge? If you are willing to tell us where Zhou Bai's team is, we would love to challenge them."

"You don't need to be too specific. Just think carefully and give us a general idea."

"Other information would be fine, too. For example, is anyone in that team injured? Do they have enough supplies?"

Song Jian's mind was in a panic.

"I...I really don't know. I didn't even have time to see which direction they were going. I completely passed out..."

The captain sighed.

"Well, good luck to you then."

After saying that, the group packed up their things and prepared to leave.

"We have other things to do, so please help yourself."

Song Jian called out to them in panic: "Wait, can you help me call the invigilator? I want to withdraw from the competition!"

Team 28 ignored him and left him a message.

"Then you can wait a little longer. We can't call the invigilator for a stranger. Who knows, maybe the invigilator will notice you someday."

Song Jian should have been eliminated, but eliminating him wouldn't get him many points, and the system announcement might also attract the attention of Team 81, so it was better to just let Song Jian fend for himself.

Song Jian was desperate and looked to Shi Ling for help - Shi Ling was also a counselor, so he shouldn't just leave his teammates to die without helping, right?

But Shi Ling didn't even look at him, his eyes avoided, and he had no intention of helping at all.

Not only that, Shi Ling seemed to have heavy dark circles under his eyes, and he looked timid and even a little panicked.

What's going on?

Song Jian had originally thought that a counselor of Shi Ling's status should have received the best possible material conditions and protection when participating in the joint military exercise. Why did he also look so embarrassed?

Could it be that this team, like his previous team, does not welcome the instructor?

Song Jian was a little nervous.

But he had no other choice.

He himself has no fighting ability, and if the invigilator doesn't find him before the foraging star beasts, he will be doomed!

Song Jian hurriedly chased after them: "I remember their direction!"

The team members stopped and looked at him suspiciously.

Song Jian: "Really? Although I was unconscious at the time, I was still somewhat conscious. I heard them say they were heading west! I just remembered because I hit my head earlier! Please, take me with you."

Song Jian lied, he didn't know where Zhou Bai's team was.

However, it is very difficult to survive on your own, so it is better to follow this team and immediately ask to withdraw from the competition when you meet the invigilator, so that you can still save your life.

The captain raised an eyebrow.

"All right."

Shi Ling was already a burden, and now there is another person holding him back.

What are you doing? This isn’t a spring outing.

However, Shi Ling was a tutor forced in by the family, and he was barely useful, so they couldn't refuse him.

As for Song Jian... forget it, just take him with you, it’s not like I have to protect him.

If Song Jian dared to lie to them, even if he was bitten to death by a star beast on the way, Team 28 would not be blamed.

————————

"Okay, audience friends, it's already the fourth day of the joint military exercise."

"Let's see how many players are left—3,123! It seems the elimination rate is slower than we expected."

"Let's take a look at the standings."

"The Xie and Fenrir teams tied for first place, with each member scoring an average of 2,100 points. That's a pretty good result."

In the live broadcast room, all heated discussions had nothing to do with Team 81.

Due to some unexpected events, Yun Fuyu and his companions suspended their plan to earn points and rested on the spot.

Yun Fuyu nervously wiped Zhou Bai's sweat.

After killing the mutant, the team's luck improved a lot. They encountered several star beasts in succession, and the supplies they had obtained earlier were more than enough.

However, last night, they encountered an unexpected attack by star beasts.

It is a star beast that is extremely good at hiding its tracks.

It must have been extremely hungry. Although it had no wings, it still quietly climbed up the tree and tried to hunt under the cover of night.

What a coincidence.

Team 81 had experienced a fierce battle during the day, and all three members were quite tired.

In addition, this star beast concealed its breath and mental power, so no one discovered it in time.

When Yun Fuyu realized the noise in the middle of the night and opened his eyes in a daze, he saw the star beast's ferocious face like a hyena and its bloody mouth wide open!

The star beast opened its mouth without hesitation and bit Yun Fuyu, who was obviously easier to bite.

The stench and fishy smell hit me in the face.

Yun Fuyu's heart tightened instantly and he suddenly entered a state of stress.

But the fangs were too close, he had nowhere to retreat and almost no time to resist.

At the critical moment, Zhou Bai, who had just opened his eyes, suddenly pushed Yun Fuyu away.

The star beast bit Zhou Bai's arm hard!

This is one of the big traps Xie Huaiyan dug for Shi Ling.

And Xie Huaiyan will be at the table for a short while soon [dog head]
