Chapter 374: Only the Male Peacock is Beautiful (Thirty-Six)
Yu Huo was finally grabbed by Teacher Meili. Seeing the other party's knife-like hand raised, he lay on the ground and closed his eyes without any warning.
Teacher Meili snorted coldly and put her gas mask back on: "You are so smart."
Yu Huo didn't say anything, and along the way he diligently played the role of a poor classmate who was knocked unconscious.
The vehicle moved slowly, the air around it began to become humid, and the mysterious primeval forest of Jiangteng Mountain slowly unfolded before our eyes.
The vehicle drove about two kilometers before it stopped. The teachers from Klein Military Academy helped everyone out of the vehicle one by one.
Yu Huo looked at the teacher who was swinging his arms in front of him, and got out of the car quickly. When the other party tied the rope around him, he did not resist at all.
Before leaving, the male teacher sneered in his ear: "You're quite ruthless, little brat. Just wait."
Yu Huo: "..."
The teachers left them in the woods and finally drove away.
The students were still asleep and knew nothing about it.
The surrounding area is full of towering ancient trees, whose huge branches block out the sun, making the light sparse.
All they saw was pitch black, as if there were pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark.
Yu Huo sat on the ground, felt around with his bound hands, and soon found a fairly sharp stone.
I don’t know if it was because the teacher was filled with hatred after being hit by Yu Huo, the rope that tied him was close to his elbows, and the stone in his hand couldn’t touch the rope at all.
Yu Huo gave up and could only sit there waiting for his classmates to wake up.
As time went by, light gradually seeped into the outskirts of Jiangteng Mountain, and many students showed signs of waking up.
Soon, panicked voices gradually filled the silent forest.
"Where is this?!"
"Are you sick? Why am I tied up?!"
"Is this Jiangteng Mountain? The assessment won't start now, right?"
“…”
Mallory wailed and woke up. He moved his wrist in panic and then complained to Yu Huo: "My neck hurts!"
Yu Huo ignored his complaints, moved to the other side, and said concisely: "Turn around."
Mallory glanced at the stone in his hand, turned around obediently, and leaned sideways to grind the rope for the other party.
The rope was of very good quality. Yu Huo's hands were almost sore from wearing it before he could help the other person to grind the rope loose.
As soon as Mallory was freed, he continued to help Yu Huo and his roommate untie themselves.
At this time, the students around them also helped each other to gain freedom. Then, they found their own weight bags. After seeing their weight bags, a new round of complaints began.
"Shit, where's my knife?"
"What if I rob?"
"Where's my toilet water?"
Tiffany screamed and felt that life was hopeless!
She was a repeater, so she knew the school rules. This time, she did not spend a lot of money to buy weapons that were prohibited from being brought into the examination. She just bought a bottle of toilet water based on her experience to repel mosquitoes.
Who knew that this year he would be so abnormal that he didn’t even bring her some toilet water!
The two siblings couldn't help but cry, feeling that they might be destined to repeat the grade again this year...
After everyone finished complaining, they had to continue the assessment. They took out camouflage uniforms from their weight bags and put them on. After a short rest, they finally accepted the fact that their cell phones had no signal and the compass malfunctioned due to the magnetic field.
Now only the map issued by Baoli School can be used, but the map is hand-drawn and very simple, and the Hanchuan River is drawn extremely carelessly, with only rough indication of the distance in words.
As an undeveloped primeval forest, Crimson Vine Mountain is off-limits to civilians. Only the Klein Military Academy would be so perverted as to locate the assessment on the outskirts of Crimson Vine Mountain.
As everyone was exploring the surroundings, a classmate suddenly picked up a piece of wood and said, "Here's the test content!"
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the dejected students gathered around and looked at the spray-painted words on the wooden sign.
[Assessment content: 40 km sprint. Please rush to the supply point marked on the map within 8 hours. If you do not arrive within 8 hours, the supply point will no longer provide supplies and the corresponding points will be deducted based on the time.
If you feel unwell or encounter problems that you cannot solve yourself, please press the positioning alarm in your backpack in time to terminate the assessment.
(Note: Except for Yu Huo, Mallory, Ryan, and Antoine who were not hit by the smoke bomb, all other students will have ten points deducted.)
You deducted ten points at the beginning. Teacher Meili, are you a devil?
For a moment, everyone looked at the small group of four people in Yu Huo's dormitory.
Facing so many unfriendly or jealous looks, Mallory took a step back and whispered to Yu Huo, "Master Yu, what do they mean? Are they trying to make us hateful and set us up as targets?"
Yu Huo lowered his eyes and glanced at the other person, his eyes showing relief: "Your brain is finally not in vain."
Mallory tutted his words. "If you want to praise someone, do it well. If you don't know how to praise someone, just shut up, okay?"
Yu Huo: "Not good."
Mallory: "..."
Forget it, they are already being marginalized, and if they continue to be divided internally, they are finished!
Fortunately, at this time, no one would waste energy on playing tricks, and everyone was trying to conserve their energy as much as possible in order to run 40 kilometers.
After walking for about half a day, several relatively weak people began to vomit and feel weak due to the magnetic field problem. They could only turn on the locator in their bags and wait on the spot.
The deeper you go, the more terrifying Jiangteng Mountain becomes. There are insects everywhere, and there are smooth caves that never see sunlight all year round. Even a hornet's nest can accidentally take your life.
At this time, no one would seek death.
As they walked, Yu Huo and the other three finally arrived at the supply point.
Teacher Meili stood in front of the tent and handed each of them a bag of food and two bottles of water. "Six hours and forty minutes, not bad."
Yu Huo laughed dryly and sat on the ground with his three companions, wolfing down food and drinking water.
After resting for about half an hour, they were urged by Teacher Meili to move their legs again. They were so tired that they couldn't even speak.
The Jiangteng Mountain was even more creepy at night than during the day. After two days and one night of running, their physical strength was getting worse and worse. In addition, the miasma that emerged from time to time as they went deep into the forest brought a considerable burden to their progress.
The miasma was rising again and visibility was extremely low. Yu Huo broke off a branch to explore the way.
You can't blame them for being cautious. Ryan was leading the team before, and if Yu Huo hadn't pulled him in time, that guy would have stepped into the crack of the cliff.
As the night deepened, the large group was gradually dispersed due to the differences in physical fitness among everyone, and Yu Huo could no longer see the remaining classmates behind him.
As they walked, they finally saw a landmark. Yu Huo took out the hand-drawn map and found that there were no reference points here, making it difficult to identify.
Just as Mallory was about to follow the signs, Yu Huo's keen sixth sense emerged again.
He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Mallory. In the other's puzzled look, he looked at the direction indicated by the sign without blinking: "No, there... there is no sound."
Not to mention birds singing, there is not even the chirping of insects.
In such an undeveloped primeval forest, if there is no animal in a place, it is an absolute forbidden zone!
Mallory stopped as he was told. Although he understood what he meant, his face was full of confusion: "The teacher can't give us wrong instructions, right?"
Yu Huo bent down and looked at the landmark inserted in the soft soil. His eyes swept across the landmark bracket covered with soil exposed to the air, and his breathing couldn't help but stop.
"This landmark has been tampered with!"
