Five hours later...
"Damn... these guys who're cheating, mutated... they all have ways..."
"But what about the rest of us normal people?"
Meng Feifei had completely given up on standing up and simply crawled slowly on all fours.
Five hours had passed, and most of them had only moved less than 500 meters...
For the first three hours, everyone stayed almost entirely in the same spot.
In the last two hours, only a few people were able to stand up and gradually mobilize their soul power.
At this rate, let alone before midnight.
Even if it gets light, they can't possibly make a round trip through these mountains and forests!
Hua Lingze sighed: "I've given up on the idea of arriving before midnight..."
“I’ve given up too.” Truman pushed up his glasses and said, “But even so, I don’t recommend you give up.”
"Why?" Meng Feifei turned her head: "We can't finish it anyway..."
Hua Yingwen said, "Didn't you hear what Chief Zheng said? Today was just a warm-up. There will definitely be many more training sessions like this in the future! They might even be more rigorous than today's! Lin Nai is right, we have no shortcuts. We can only spend more time now and rely on the training to strengthen our soul power nodes so that we can adapt to this environment! Otherwise, we'll suffer in this base in the future!"
Meng Feifei looked miserable and cried out to the heavens, "Oh God..."
Truman looked up.
Among them, apart from Lin Nai, Mu Xun, Bai Shou, and the monkey who had already run far away, the others had all traveled about the same distance, with no more than a hundred meters between them.
Fang Wu and Tong Yi were running at the front.
Fang Wu was relying solely on his strong physique to endure the pain, but every step he took was extremely difficult. He gritted his teeth and was covered in sweat.
Tong Yi, on the other hand, used her soul power. This loli girl was surrounded by a faint pink halo, and the purity of her soul power seemed to be quite good.
Truman narrowed his eyes, took out his notebook, and wrote down the information.
"Huff... huff..."
Fang Wu was panting heavily, having relied on his physical strength to endure it, but he finally couldn't hold on any longer and sat down on the ground to rest for a while.
Yu Yuanyuan caught up at this time, leaned against a tree to rest, and was covered in sweat.
Fang Wu turned his head and looked at it, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
"Um... you're still injured, aren't you? Maybe you shouldn't push yourself too hard..."
"Oh?" Yu Yuanyuan turned her head, revealing a playful and charming smile: "Are you concerned about me?"
"Ah...no...it's just, well, we're teammates...I just wanted to tell you to take care of yourself and drink more hot water..."
Fang Wu didn't even know what he was saying.
"If you care, just say so. What's there to be embarrassed about when you care about a girl?"
"I...I...hehehehehe..."
Meng Feifei, crawling slowly beside her: "..."
Are you two having a romantic date here?
......
Midnight.
Zheng Longhai and two instructors stood at the gate of the base, gazing at the distant mountains and forests.
"Time is up."
"It seems that only two people will qualify in the end."
Zheng Longhai turned his head and looked at Lin Nai and Mu Xun, who had already reached the finish line behind him.
incredible......
The Dark Moon Organization has been established for nearly a century, and this is the first time that a newcomer has completed this test on the very first day!
And there were actually two of them!
Another half hour passed.
The white beast and the monkey gradually returned.
Both of them were also exhausted.
"You two did well too. Although you went over time, at least you finished."
Zheng Longhai said with satisfaction, then turned around and asked, "Where are the rest of the people?"
A drill instructor behind him took out a completely transparent tablet, swiped his finger across it, and said, "We're still quite far from here. If we're going to come back, we'll probably have to wait until at least tomorrow morning."
Zheng Longhai nodded, then instructed, "Undo the formation."
Instructor: "Yes, sir."
After the formation was dispelled, everyone was no longer subject to the suppression of gravity.
In less than half an hour, everyone was back at the base.
"I'm very disappointed in you!"
Zheng Longhai said with a stern face, "You guys are the worst class I've ever coached! This warm-up cross-country run was so simple, and only two of you passed! You know, in previous years, almost everyone passed!"
"Really?" Meng Feifei asked skeptically, "Is this really something a normal human could do without cheating? I'm not very educated, don't try to fool me..."
"Shut up!" Zheng Longhai paused for a moment, then pointed at Meng Feifei: "I've observed you, and you're the most talkative and troublesome one here. Tomorrow morning, for the breakfast I make, everyone else only needs one serving, but you have to eat two! If you leave a single bite, you'll be punished with twenty warm-up cross-country runs!"
Meng Feifei: "???"
"That concludes today's warm-up training. Go back and rest."
Zheng Longhai said, "Before 8 a.m., wash up, eat breakfast, and gather in training room number 7 on time!"
......
After disbanding.
Everyone looked like they had aches and pains in their backs.
Although the pressure of gravity is no longer there, everyone still walks with a swaying gait.
Having just left that environment, I'm still not quite used to it.
After the meeting was dismissed, everyone went back to their respective dormitories.
Lin Nai then set her sights on Tong Yi.
They followed him closely, observing him secretly.
'He seems quite honest; there's nothing unusual about him.'
'Could it be that the Five Elements Society member who possessed her has already left?'
Lin Nai remembered that back then, the soul of a member of the Five Elements Society possessed Tong Yi and controlled her actions.
But even though the soul that possessed her has now left, it should not be underestimated.
Being possessed by a soul doesn't mean you can just casually take over someone else's body.
However, once a person has been possessed, the soul may leave a backdoor in her body.
Even if the possessing soul leaves temporarily, she will still face the risk of being possessed by that soul again in the future!
In other words, even if Tong Yi is normal now, if she is possessed again during a crucial mission for the team in the future, it would be a huge problem!
You can be stabbed in the back without even realizing it!
Linnaeus didn't want to take that risk.
Linnaeus's expression was serious as he continued forward.
As they rounded a corner, they bumped into someone.
Mu Xun...
Lin Nai: "?? What are you doing here?"
