Chapter 29: Alienation

◎Empty◎

Shi Hanqiao did not pause, but paused when he raised his hand. He wiped the back of his hand across his frown, and beads of sweat fell along his fingertips as he lowered his hand.

The eight people moved quickly through the jungle, and except for her, no one noticed that an unusual heat was rising in the rainforest night.

[Hurry up! Hurry up! Qianxing and the others next door are almost at the foot of the mountain.]

[The Empire hasn't produced an outstanding commander in over twenty years. It seems all of them have accumulated until this year!]

[Wait, did you notice something wrong?! This year, there are four outstanding conductors: Luo Wusheng from Sphinx, Li Sen from Royal, Bai Muxue from Empire, and Qian Xing from Dragon City.]

[No wonder only the Command Department has extra tasks, while other departments don't!]

So this military training was originally designed to train command?

I don't think so. How many capable commanders are there in the entire galaxy, and how many soldiers are guarding the border? This military training is mainly to hone the majority of people. As for the command, it must be a coincidence.

The official team isn't dead, there's definitely someone behind the scenes controlling the situation, adjusting the mission content based on everyone's performance during military training. Initially, the process was normal, but after seeing the capabilities of the new command staff, adjustments were definitely made.

[Agree +1, the first two tasks were very serious when they were released, but the third task seemed less serious.]

[Hahaha, if you hadn't mentioned that earlier, I would have forgotten this was a serious military training.]

[Military training is going in a weird direction. However, this couple is so cute!]

[Oh my god! Are you trying to make me laugh to death?! This is serious military training!]

[Hey, that's not right. The live stream light for the team I just saved went off, but now it's on again!?!]

What's going on?! The screen is black? Why can't I see anything?

What did Qiao Mei say just now? What will the beast in the dark be unwilling to do?

Before they reached the foot of the Solitary Peak, the sound of gunfire coming from afar was enough to keep people on high alert. The eight people temporarily stopped moving and found a hidden bush to lie in ambush.

Ling Shuang: "Why are there still people here?! Are you all rolling up your sleeves? No one's taking a break."

"Eliminate others or be eliminated by others, the choice is simple." Bai Muxue looked at the map again, "This data is still wrong."

On the map, six small red dots overlap on the edge of dense small green dots.

Ten minutes later, the sound of gunfire still emanated from far away. No one noticed any signs of movement, and the green dots on the map showed no sign of converging toward the red dots. Furthermore, they were decreasing, even though the number of green dots on the map remained dense.

Luo Wusheng looked serious: "Can you two complete the task?"

Yu Rongshui and Mo Wushuang exchanged a glance and nodded heavily, "At least during this military training, we will follow your orders, even if it means taking action against Ander and Liesen."

Although the two have a good relationship with Ander and Lisen, they are now in a competitive relationship.

"I want you to take action." Luo Wusheng handed the space button with the sniper rifle to them. "You will have to separate later. You two will hide there."

He was pointing to the top of the mountain gate. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a steep mountain wall. About 800 meters high, there was a horizontal line visible to the naked eye. In fact, it was a natural and optimal sniping point.

"Ignore anyone who shows up at the mountain gate. Just snipe Liesen and Huo Ran, first Liesen and then Huo Ran. After they're dead, you two can handle the others. If they're not dead, you two will die."

Luo Wusheng explained the interests involved clearly. The deceased had no way of getting first place. Although they formed an alliance, the alliance had nothing to do with the final victory of the military training.

If they die, they are dead. Another allied Royal Military Academy team will survive and become the first.

The two women A know the seriousness of the consequences. If they want to win, they cannot let up. This is also a test.

"Make sure the mission is completed."

"After you two have cleaned up, keep an eye on their movements. Will a rescue team come down from the sky to pick them up, or will a robot butler take them back to the Solitary Hall?"

Luo Wusheng's tone softened as he said, "Your main goal is to kill Lie Sen and Huo Ran. If something goes wrong, report it in the channel and retreat immediately."

The primary mission he issued was to eliminate Lie Sen and Huo Ran. Other matters were unimportant, and he gave them full autonomy. After killing Lie Sen and Huo Ran, they could choose to attack or retreat, unless Luo Wusheng received a report, analyzed it, and gave the order.

Taking advantage of the cover of night and the others, the two women A successfully climbed up the cliff and hid. Ling Shuang and Mei Yao went ahead to where the gunfire was most intense.

As for the remaining four people, Luo Wusheng was in a dilemma.

"You and Bai Muqi——"

Shi Hanqiao leaned against a tree, folded his arms, and looked coldly: "You two commanders are staying here, waiting to be robbed?"

Although her tone was as sarcastic as usual, Luo Wusheng keenly noticed that she did not want to act with Bai Muqi.

When he hesitated, he heard her voice, "I will go by myself, and he will stay to protect you."

The voice came with the night wind. Luo Wusheng looked up and saw only the back that disappeared into the night.

"Qiao Mei, you have personality!"

Bai Muxue stopped talking under her brother's sharp eyes.

"You're in command here, okay?"

Luo Wusheng's sudden voice startled Bai Muxue. To be more precise, it was the content of his words that scared her.

"What?" She couldn't believe what she heard. Luo Wusheng was going to give up command?

He didn't want to waste time explaining, so he asked directly, "Can you do it?"

"certainly!"

Bai Muxue answered instantly, Meng A can't say that he can't do it.

"Hey, you——" Before he could finish his words, another background disappeared into the night.

Her gaze lingered for a moment on the night as two figures disappeared one after another.

Luo Wusheng had already set up the game. She understood the meaning of each of his steps and what effect he wanted to achieve, but this was his countermeasure!

He will definitely be able to achieve the goal perfectly under his own command, and this command process will be his highlight moment during the military training.

Luo Wusheng just gave up like that? !

Just casually give up the command of this battle?!

Bai Muxue really didn't understand, and couldn't help but mutter out her inner thoughts, "Why is he doing this?"

[For love! It must be for love! Joe, the love-brained sister, is angry! I must chase her!]

[In the days following the first mission's deadline, Luo Wusheng arranged for Qiao Mei to go hunting with others, and it was obvious that they were becoming distant.]

[Leaving two single dogs, hahahaha! ]

[Can you guys please choose the right occasion for your CP?! Is this situation suitable?]

[Judging from the previous details, Luo Wusheng is definitely not someone who acts on emotion. He definitely did this with a plan.]

[Isn't that a slap in the face?! From this perspective, Shi Hanqiao isn't the one who's in love; Luo Wusheng is more of a love-brained person.]

[Hahaha, do they know you set a flag for him? Experience has proven that you should never set a flag for Shi Hanqiao and Luo Wusheng, otherwise you will easily get slapped in the face!]

"Why are you here?"

Shi Hanqiao pursed his lips, his face expressionless and his tone cold.

Luo Wusheng choked and said nothing.

The legitimate reason was that he had already arranged everything, and with Bai Muxue watching over it, as long as there were no mistakes, it would be fine. After all, she was also an excellent commander.

He said the same thing to Shi Hanqiao, and added, "It's too risky for you to analyze it objectively alone."

As for the real reason, he didn't know. When he saw Shi Hanqiao's back disappear into the darkness, the image of a mountain of corpses and a river of blood flashed through his mind, and his footsteps couldn't help but follow.

He vaguely sensed a familiar feeling growing, but it also felt very strange, different from before.

Now is not the time to sort out your emotions, nor should you have any emotions.

Shi Hanqiao sneered, said nothing more, and strode forward.

Luo Wusheng also fell silent, following her extremely fast pace, not lagging behind even a step.

Unlike the silence of the rainy night when they climbed the Solitary Peak, the invisible smoke of war between the two people was more like a confrontation before their relationship became closer.

Luo Wusheng didn't know what to say. When he found that he thought about the Demon Lord less and less, and unconsciously focused his gaze more on Shi Hanqiao, he began to reject this feeling of being out of control.

The first step is to act in groups. The Bai siblings, the couple Ling Shuangmeiyao, and the two friends Yu Rongshui and Mo Wushuang who grew up together have long developed a tacit understanding between them and are more suitable to act together.

However, when preparing for the hunt, he regrouped the group in the name of teamwork, with the sole purpose of separating himself and Shi Hanqiao.

She must have sensed his estrangement, which was why she seemed irritated. In the afternoon's battle, she used herself as a lure and attacked more fiercely than anyone else.

Alas!

【Shut up! 】

Hunyuan Bell sensed its master's irritation and woke up to taunt her, but died before she could even accomplish her mission. Was she truly angry?!

Shi Hanqiao, who usually makes people angry to death, is really angry?!

He very tactfully stopped talking, feeling quite complicated.

Shi Hanqiao didn't feel angry. How could she be angry? Luo Wusheng was just a plaything for her to pass the time while she stayed in this world temporarily to build a body for Hunyuan Ling.

He is the same as those old men from the immortal sect and those who refuse to obey from the demon realm.

It’s just W’s vest!

Just killing time!

Nothing special!

Not only were they grouped together during hunting, but he kept alienating and ostracizing her as if she was completely unaware?

As the dignified Demon Lord, how could she allow herself to be ordered around by anyone?!

Haha, what a joke!

She agreed to help him because the aftereffects of the body tempering must have affected her brain.

And what kind of awful weather is this? It's scorching hot! She hates the sticky heat even more than the freezing rain.

Arriving at the almost vertical cliff in the shade, Shi Hanqiao took out her climbing tools and Luo Wusheng grabbed her wrist.

"Let go." Her voice was emotionless.

"I don't have any tools." Before he could finish his words, climbing tools were stuffed into his arms. Shi Hanqiao moved his wrist and broke free from his hand.

When the hot wind blows, my palms feel empty.

My heart is also empty.

【Author’s words】

One is unaware, the other is suppressing it.

It’s a long road ahead…
