Chapter 753: Another School Destroyed, Enjoying Being a Salted Fish (Two Updates Combined into One)
While the Central University students were collectively eliminated, shocking the instructors, a "firefight" was also taking place somewhere in the forest.
B Dazhong never dreamed that one day they would be chased and beaten by people from Mingda.
They were walking along just fine, but suddenly a group of people rushed out from the bushes nearby and opened fire at them without saying a word.
Although the incident happened suddenly and caught them off guard, they were students from B University after all, so they reacted quickly and started to fight back.
Cheng Lian and Li Chen looked at each other.
Then, decisively join the battle.
As casualties on both sides continue to increase, the raid seems to be heading towards a "lose-lose" trend.
Li Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! If we really lose, then we'll just take a shortcut and rush over here. What's the point of ambushing here so early?"
Cheng Lian's expression was not very good either. Not only did B team have more people, but they were also good at fighting. If they continued like this, they would probably be "counter-killed".
Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice.
Li Chen: "How about we retreat?"
Cheng Lian: "Have you forgotten what Jiang Fuyue said?"
Can't retreat, must charge!
If we can’t take over University B, the subsequent series of plans cannot be carried out.
Li Chen: "The situation is special now, why don't you retreat? Do you have to wait until Big B kills all of us before you're happy?"
"But if we retreat, it will be difficult to catch up again."
Not to mention the distance, the jungle was everywhere, making it difficult to chase.
It is a damage to the morale of the entire army alone.
As the saying goes, the first effort is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.
Finally, after this incident, University B will definitely be on guard. Then, it will be difficult for them to make any small moves!
Cheng Lian gritted his teeth: "Hold on! We must not retreat——"
Li Chen also risked his life: "Go for it!"
The leaders of B University this time were the class monitor and the student council member. They were standing away from the battlefield, under the shade of a tree, watching and chatting, looking so leisurely.
Squad leader: "Oh, you are overestimating your own abilities!"
Student Councillor: "You know what, when a fake university gets serious, it looks pretty serious."
The squad leader chuckled and suddenly raised his voice: "Everyone, hurry up and don't get bogged down by trivial matters and waste time!"
"Understood! Don't worry, squad leader, it will be ready soon--"
For a time, University B was full of fighting spirit.
On the other hand, Mingda, who was regarded as a "small matter", clearly took the initiative, but is now losing ground.
Li Chen gritted his teeth and cursed.
Cheng Lian's actions became increasingly ruthless!
At this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the nearby woods, running with great momentum and speed.
Li Chen's eyes lit up, "It's Lao Gu and the others!"
Cheng Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood on a bush, and shouted encouragement: "Classmates, don't give up—our reinforcements are here!"
He pronounced the word "reinforcements" heavily.
With another group of Ming University students joining the battlefield, the situation changed completely in just a few minutes.
B The public was dumbfounded——
"What's going on?"
"Why, why are there so many people suddenly showing up?"
"Oh my god! Mingda actually set up an ambush?! How sneaky!"
Soon, all members of University B were captured.
Of course, this also included the class monitor and the student council member. Their original elegance and composure vanished into thin air. The two tried to escape, but were discovered by Li Chen, who grabbed their collars and dragged them back.
"The main force is here. It's not good for you two to escape, right?"
The squad leader accused: "You are cheating!"
The student council member was also angry: "We were about to win..."
"Ha!" Li Chen sneered, "All's fair in war, understand? Also, what do you mean by 'originally'? The battlefield is ever-changing. Who dares to claim victory until the very last moment?"
Cheng Lian walked forward and said, "You two seemed quite engrossed in watching from under the tree just now, huh? Okay, then... keep watching!"
After saying that, there were two loud bangs, and the colored bullets hit the two men's chests directly and exploded.
The others followed suit and quickly killed the remaining student B.
In an instant, the "captives" turned into "corpses".
B University, it’s over.
Thanks to the experience of killing Yangda University before, this time, everyone was familiar with clearing the battlefield.
Points are counted, and disarmament is required.
Wherever it goes, it sweeps away everything like a whirlwind.
Class monitor B was stunned and asked the same question as the leader of the Yangda University team: "Where did you come from?"
Gu Huaiyu shrugged: "It's obvious, isn't it?"
This person clearly saw them coming out of the nearby woods, yet he still asked knowingly.
Squad Leader: "Were they ambushed in advance? No, that's not right... If it was an ambush, they would have rushed out long ago, not waited until now! Besides, Mingda entered the forest after us, so there's no way he could have gotten ahead of us to set up an ambush."
Gu Huaiyu nodded, confirming his statement: "Indeed. We just arrived."
"Just arrived?"
Liang Jingzhou chuckled, "He rushed here without stopping after destroying Yang Da."
The squad leader's pupils constricted, he couldn't believe what he heard: "Destroy, destroy Central University?! Are you kidding me?!"
Liang Jingzhou spread his hands and said, "Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, forget it."
The squad leader's expression suddenly became confused and uncertain.
"You, you really destroyed Yangda?"
Liang Jingzhou deliberately angered him: "Not only that, we also destroyed your B University."
"……"Depend on!
Li Chen: "Everything is checked out, let's go."
The team left in a mighty manner, leaving behind hundreds of "killed" students who looked at each other in confusion.
"Squad leader, what should we do now?"
Before they could get a response, an observer jumped down from a tree and led them out of the woods.
Outside, a group of instructors were still immersed in the news of the annihilation of Central University and were unable to react for a long time.
"Just like that? A school with over 200 people?"
"I see those Yangda University students have their heads almost buried in the ground, each one more listless than the other."
"If I remember correctly, Yangda University took third place last time, right? Why is it that this year..."
"Destroyed by Ming Da? To be honest, I still can't believe it."
"It's more than just disbelief. When I heard it, I almost thought there was something wrong with my ears!"
"This...hasn't Ming University always been ranked last in previous years? Everyone accepted it, so why is it that this year...it's suddenly taking off?"
"Hey, Lao Hao, have you noticed any problems with Mingda?"
Hao Dazhi remained calm: "What's the problem?"
"Is there anything unusual or strange about Mingda?"
"for example?"
"Uh... that's really hard to say. For example, I can't think of any reason why a school that has been lazy and undisciplined for years would suddenly have a surge in combat power."
Could it be that he took stimulants?
It's possible for one person, but hundreds of people are too outrageous.
Hao Dazhi: "I don't know either."
That's what he said, but subconsciously he always felt that this matter had something to do with Jiang Fuyue!
Would such a "violent and aggressive" girl who dared to challenge the national defense students of the Ocean University alone allow her team to surrender without a fight?
"Huh? Why is there another person coming out?" an instructor suddenly asked in surprise.
"Still so many?!"
Not far away, a group of students came out of the woods in a long line.
Everyone was covered in dust and sighing.
"What's going on?"
The instructors were dumbfounded again.
"Will the whole army be wiped out again?"
"Don't be ridiculous! The drill hasn't even started for an hour. How could both schools be completely ruined?"
However, it turns out that the more unlikely something is, the more it happens.
"Who did it?"
"Mingda..."
The instructor glared: "Why is it Mingda again?!"
The squad leader complained bitterly, "You don't know, those Mingda guys are so cunning! They split into two groups. One group laid an ambush at the entrance, waiting for Yangda to enter and then attacked us directly! The other group, relying on their smaller numbers and faster movement, rushed ahead of us, waited in the woods, and then rushed in and slaughtered us indiscriminately."
"We originally had the advantage of having more people, but after they finished their battle with Central University, they immediately rushed over to reinforce us, and we... ahem... couldn't hold on anymore..."
After hearing the details, several instructors fell silent.
Hao Dazhi waved his hand: "You guys go and rest first."
The students left, and their backs looked exhausted.
"...Is Mingda cheating?" an instructor suddenly spoke up.
"Does it feel like there's a big reversal?"
"It seems the rankings for this exercise aren't as set in stone as they were in previous years... That's good! Surprises are the root of all surprises!"
Now, B University, which is the most capable of competing with the "eternal winner" Q University, was eliminated early, while Ming University defeated two schools in a row and was unstoppable. It is hard to say who will win or lose in the end!
Hao Dazhi couldn't help but laugh: "Interesting, very interesting!"
This year’s trip was not in vain.
…
However, after the two parties reunited, the four people led by Li Chen, Gu Huaiyu, Cheng Lian and Liang Jingzhou were leisurely strolling in the dense forest.
Compared with the previous non-stop travel and thrilling hibernation, this is now in line with the "salted fish" state that everyone wanted before.
But... I always feel like something is wrong.
"Mr. Chen, why don't we chase the school ahead?" A classmate couldn't help but ask.
Li Chen shook his head: "No."
"W-Why?"
"Yangda University, the last to enter, and B University, which arrived before us, have already been eliminated. Further ahead is the University of Trade, which arrived ten minutes earlier than us. Plus, our two groups of harvesters took up quite a bit of time, so they've already left. Can we catch up?"
"Uh! That's right..."
Li Chen chuckled, as if everything was under his control.
Gu Huaiyu curled his lips and couldn't help rolling his eyes at his mysterious look.
He spoke as if it was his own idea, but Jiang Fuyue had planned everything long ago and then told them to do this or that.
"Huh! Do you really think you're Zhuge Liang?"
Li Chen coughed lightly and winked at him: "Little brother, what's going on? Will you die if you don't destroy it?"
Gu Huaiyu: I just can’t stand you picking up Sister Yue’s things to make yourself look good.
The student asked again: "So what should we do now?"
"Strolling around."
"ah?"
"How about climbing a tree and taking bird eggs for fun, or finding a cool place to sleep? It's a pity we're not allowed to bring our phones, otherwise we could team up and play games."
The classmate was confused when he heard this: "No, we don't need to keep going forward and kill the other schools?"
"I already said I can't catch up."
"Then we won't chase them anymore?" This doesn't fit in with the aura of "sweeping the enemy like a madman" they have been showing all along, okay?
Everyone is very excited at this moment and can't wait to defeat the remaining schools!
How, how come you started to be a lazy person?
Unprepared and caught off guard.
Li Chen sighed, patted his shoulder, and spoke earnestly, repeating to him exactly what Jiang Fuyue had said to them during the small meeting before -
"Young people shouldn't be too radical. Rushing too quickly is dangerous. Being able to survive when necessary is also a strategy. Do you understand?"
“…I don’t understand.” This classmate gave the same answer as Li Chen and others.
"You'll understand when the time comes." These were Jiang Fuyue's original words.
"Oh." The classmate walked away in a daze, with a confused look in his eyes.
Liang Jingzhou couldn't bear to see this anymore: "Old Li, if I didn't pick up Jiang Fuyue, you wouldn't say anything, right?"
Li Chen glanced over lightly: "Are you blaming me for picking it up first? You can't pick it up, right?"
"..." Damn! This guy is so cheap, he deserves a beating!
Ugh! He actually guessed it right...
"Also," Li Chen changed into a more comfortable gun-carrying posture, like a scoundrel, and corrected with a smile: "Why call her Jiang Fuyue? Call her Sister Yue! Oh, no, you're the grandson, you should call her... Grandpa Yue?"
Liang Jingzhou: "...Li Chen! Believe it or not, I will fucking kill you!"
Li Chen: "You're still my grandson, even if you kill me, this is unacceptable."
“…”
Half an hour later.
The large group arrived at a deeper forest. Perhaps it was due to the terrain or some other reason, but the ventilation here was surprisingly good!
Cheng Lian: "Almost done, let's do it here."
Gu Huaiyu glanced around and nodded: "I think it's okay."
Liang Jingzhou found a low wooden stool and sat down, sighing in comfort. "I don't want to leave anyway. The forest here is dense, it's cool, and there are people hiding here. It's a perfect location! Why would I walk?"
"Okay, then everyone stay here."
A quarter of an hour later.
The crowd that had found a place to sit or lie down—
"Hey, are we going to take a break like this?"
"Young Master Chen said that if you feel bored, you can climb the tree and get the eggs."
"Well—that's not necessary."
A classmate next to me was lying on a haystack, with his hands behind his head, a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, one leg crossed over the other, rocking back and forth, looking so comfortable.
"Stop worrying about it, okay? Why don't we just rest?"
"Well... isn't the competition still going on? We at Mingda finally managed to hold our heads high and were on a roll, so why are we lagging behind again?"
"This isn't salted fish; this is strategy."
"What strategy?"
"Are you stupid? We've already defeated over 600 people from Yangon University and B University, which means we have over 600 points. From now on, as long as we stay calm and don't get eliminated by the remaining schools, we won't be last place no matter how good we are with these 600 points."
"With Yangon University and B University at the bottom, we definitely won't be last! We want to be first..."
"It's easy! After we get some sleep and the drill is over, we'll naturally be first."
"W-why?" Even though he already had over 600 points, he couldn't guarantee that other schools wouldn't surpass him. "Where do you get that confidence from?"
Outside, several instructors were also wondering the same question—
"Rest, rest?"
Observer: "Yes. They found the ventilated forest where we usually train and rest, and set up camp and won't leave."
"Tsk...you're quite good at choosing places."
"No... What on earth are these students from Ming University up to? Do they think they can just sit back and relax after defeating two schools?"
"I think he's gotten carried away after achieving some success. Instead of striking while the iron is hot and catching up to get more points, he's actually looking for a place to rest?! He's a hopeless case, and he's acting up right after I praised him!"
"Old Hao, what do you think?"
Hao Dazhi was surprisingly quiet today, especially when they mentioned Mingda, he hardly said a word.
"I guess you just want to find a place to rest your feet?"
But he secretly wondered, what tricks was Jiang Fuyue playing? Letting the troops rest? How could she come up with such a plan?
Yes, Hao Dazhi never doubted that Jiang Fuyue could command the entire Mingda team on his own.
…
Back to the forest, Ming people were enjoying the cool breeze from the forest, with hay spread out under them, or sitting on low wooden stakes, or lying down directly. If you didn't know, you would think they were on a spring outing.
"Hey, why aren't you talking? I just told you you were overconfident, why didn't you say anything?"
"There's nothing to refute. I'm just overconfident." He swung the dogtail grass in his mouth.
"Hey! Can you tell me more specifically?"
The dogtail grass paused for a second, and the next second, the hand was taken away, and the man sat up: "Do you really want to hear it?"
"Uh-huh!"
"We've been walking all this way, haven't you noticed a very important problem?"
"What's the problem?"
"The main force is missing two people."
"Ah? Who's missing?"
"Think about it yourself." Talking to stupid people is really a waste of brainpower.
The man scratched his head, looking depressed. Short of people?
Two more?
The next second, he suddenly reacted——
Right! Where are Sister Yue and Liu Sisi?
Two updates combined into one, 5,000 words.
