Chapter 310 Monster Eats People
The training ground was silent. A breeze blew by, bringing a cool feeling and blowing away the autumn heat.
Instructor Zhao glanced at the rookies who looked like quails, and suddenly grinned: "I'm not lying to you this time. Good news is good news."
"What's going on? Stop keeping us in suspense!"
"That's right, instructor, please tell me quickly!"
Some students who were unable to keep their cool couldn't help but shout out.
"hehe."
Instructor Zhao laughed and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. You will leave the military base tomorrow, so tonight, the base has arranged a bonfire party for you tonight as a farewell to your short military career.
But I hope that in the future, you can actively participate in national defense construction and not waste your great talents. "
This statement was almost referring to someone's name.
For a moment, everyone cheered and turned their eyes to Huo Qinghuang and Murong Xuan.
Who says these two are the two biggest dark horses among the freshmen of Imperial Capital University this year?
Huo Qinghuang and Murong Xuan ignored everyone's gazes, as if all this had nothing to do with them.
"Okay, everyone go get ready first, don't be late for the bonfire party tonight."
Instructor Zhao sighed in disappointment, waved his hand, and signaled the students to disperse.
The students immediately dispersed with cheers and began to discuss what to do for the bonfire party that night.
Some students planned to perform, while others just wanted to enjoy this rare relaxing time.
"Bonfire party? Sounds great!"
Lin Xuan excitedly pulled Huo Qinghuang's sleeve, "Qinghuang, let's join in together tonight!"
Huo Qinghuang nodded.
The squad leader also smiled and said, "Since this is a farewell party, we should relax. After all, the training during this period has been very tiring."
The students all laughed and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Although the days of military training were tough, everyone gained a lot from it, especially the performances of Huo Qinghuang and Murong Xuan, which made the whole class feel proud.
As night fell, a blazing bonfire was lit on the open ground of the military base.
The firelight shone on everyone's face, making it look particularly warm.
The students sat around the campfire, some singing, some dancing, and others sharing interesting things that happened during the military training.
Huo Qinghuang sat aside, listening quietly to everyone's laughter.
Her eyes occasionally swept across the campfire, as if she was thinking about something.
Lin Xuan sat beside her and excitedly pulled her hand: "Qing Huang, why don't you go play? Everyone is dancing!"
Huo Qinghuang smiled slightly and shook her head: "I'm not very good at these, you guys play."
Lin Xuan curled her lips and was about to persuade her again when she suddenly heard a cheer.
She turned around and saw Murong Xuan standing by the bonfire, holding a guitar in his hand. He smiled and said to everyone, "Since today is a farewell party, I will make a fool of myself and sing a song for everyone!"
"Wow! Murong Xuan can also play the guitar!"
The students applauded and the atmosphere was immediately ignited.
Murong Xuan sat by the campfire, gently plucking the strings of the zither with his fingers, and a melodious melody slowly flowed out.
His voice is clear, with the timbre unique to young people, and he sings with particular vigor and vitality.
The classmates listened attentively, even Huo Qinghuang raised his head slightly and his eyes fell on Murong Xuan.
"I didn't expect he had this skill."
Lin Xuan sighed in a low voice.
She was busy studying and practicing all day long, and also drawing talismans. She had never learned any talents.
In comparison, the Murong family's training of their children is indeed better than that of the Lin family.
Huo Qinghuang did not respond, but just glanced at the figure by the campfire and then looked away.
To her, human youths of eighteen or nineteen were no different from cubs and had no appeal at all.
When the song ended, the audience burst into warm applause.
Murong Xuan stood up with a smile, and his eyes swept across everyone, finally stopping at Huo Qinghuang: "Huo Qinghuang, do you want to perform one too?"
Huo Qinghuang was slightly stunned, then shook her head: "I don't know these."
Murong Xuan smiled and didn't force it. Instead, he turned around and said to everyone, "Then let's continue! Tonight is a rare opportunity to relax, don't miss it!"
The atmosphere of the bonfire party became more and more lively. Students showed off their talents one after another, and some even told jokes.
Although Huo Qinghuang was still sitting quietly aside, her gaze was no longer as distant as before, but instead had a hint of tenderness.
As the night deepened, the bonfire gradually went out and the students returned to the dormitory one after another.
Huo Qinghuang stood in the open space, looking up at the starry sky, feeling a little complicated.
The evolution of the universe is becoming more and more intense, and no one knows when it will reach a critical point and completely break the current situation.
"What are you thinking about?" Murong Xuan's voice came from behind.
Huo Qinghuang didn't look back, but just said lightly: "Nothing."
Why is she always so silent, as if she is detached from the world and even more out of place than him?
Murong Xuan frowned and was about to say something when suddenly a panicked sound of running came from the gate.
What followed was a panicked cry for help from a young girl: "Help! Monster, the monster is eating people!"
Huo Qinghuang and Murong Xuan's faces changed instantly. They looked at each other and ran towards the direction where the sound came from.
When they rushed to the gate, they saw a short-haired girl sitting on the ground, pale and trembling, with fear in her eyes.
Her clothes were disheveled and there were several obvious scratches on her arms. She looked disheveled.
Huo Qinghuang frowned.
This girl was the short-haired girl who shared the same dormitory with her, named Zhou Siqing.
"What's going on?"
Murong Xuan asked while vigilantly observing the movements around him.
Zhou Siqing was still in shock and stammered, "There's a monster... outside the base. It eats people! Li Jiaojiao and I were just taking a walk over there, and suddenly, just..."
Before she could finish her words, she fainted.
Huo Qinghuang's face changed slightly, and he flew out of the door without saying a word.
Li Jiaojiao is the girl in the dormitory who always speaks in a jealous tone. She is also a student in their archaeology department.
At this moment, the soldier standing guard at the gate was urgently asking for help from his superiors. When he raised his eyes, he saw two figures rushing out of the gate from the front and back, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The soldier was shocked and quickly reported to his superior: "Sir, it seems that two people rushed out of the base to rescue people just now, but they were too fast and I couldn't see who they were."
The person who answered the phone happened to be Instructor Zhao, who was the deputy battalion commander of the x military base and was in charge of the overall command of this military training.
Upon hearing the soldier's report, Chief Instructor Zhao's face darkened and he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
