Chapter 75: The test arranged by the Enamel Military Academy on Planet N-770...
The trial planet arranged by the Enamel Military Academy this time is a lawless area in the intermediate star field.
On this planet N-770, people live an ordinary life of peace and warmth during the day, while the underground is their carnival base at night.
They are so unscrupulous, is there no insect that wants to kill them?
Of course, but it's not necessary.
Not only is there nothing to gain, but the important members of the group will get wind of the situation and run away. All you can catch are small fry, which is a thankless task.
Although this is a lawless area, it does not involve any bloody industrial chain. It only smuggles some high-end goods, and occasionally helps local forces fight against space pirates, resist terrorist attacks and other heinous acts.
These grey areas are turned a blind eye.
But some hot-blooded female insects who have just reached adulthood don't have so many twists and turns in their minds. They are relatively naive and hate evil. They can tell right from wrong at a glance, and they will punish the guilty.
"Teacher, is our mission to combat local evil forces?"
"We're being given such a challenging task for the first time. Will we be able to handle it?"
"If we successfully destroy the den, will we be rewarded?"
"I heard that if we seize the stolen goods, we can get some share based on our contribution. Is that true?"
The students were talking at once, but they didn't notice that their instructor's face was getting darker and darker.
"Quiet!"
The student closed his mouth and realized that the instructor's face was so pale that it seemed to be dripping with black water. He quickly lowered his head in fear.
The instructor's chest heaved with anger. "Listen to what you're saying! If there really were some terrifying dark force here, why wouldn't the local army eliminate it, relying on rookie cadets like you?"
"Even if the five of you joined together, you wouldn't be able to defeat even one local soldier. And yet you still brazenly claim to be going to suppress bandits?"
"Are you going to suppress him, or are they going to suppress you?"
"You all have no sense of reason. If you don't have a smart brain, just learn to be quiet. What you say is unpleasant to the ear and only causes trouble. Be careful that one day you will say something out of turn and get ambushed and killed. I don't have the ability to seek justice for you."
Upon hearing this, the students lowered their heads even lower.
"When you go out, follow your instructor. Don't act alone. Do whatever your instructor says. Don't talk nonsense outside or do anything outside of your mission. Do you understand?"
"I understand." The students replied dejectedly.
The instructor frowned: "The voice is too soft, I can't hear it."
The students immediately shouted, "Got it!"
The instructor nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, everyone is tired, let's go to the hotel and rest first. The mission will be announced in the afternoon."
Each instructor led hundreds of teams, staying in several hotels.
Although the insect members are somewhat scattered, they are all on the same street and can respond quickly to any situation.
The Enamel Military Academy has also contacted the local leadership and will send a team of female soldiers to guard the street. If any students are attacked, they will also protect them.
Although it is the new recruits' adaptation period and they signed a life and death agreement before departure, and they understand that they will encounter dangers and accidents on this trip, but every insect is a life, and the academy still hopes that the students can return safely.
The academy provides a safe haven for the students, where their safety can be guaranteed, but that may not be the case outside. We hope that this group of students will not let them down.
In the afternoon, the students gathered.
The instructor and the students left the safe zone in a hovercraft and headed for the dangerous area outside the safe zone.
"Teacher, are you taking us to the danger zone?"
"Are we going to kill strange beasts? If that's all, there are also strange beasts in the mountains and forests outside the Enamel Military Academy."
"Those exotic beasts have been tamed. They are no different from domestic chickens, ducks, and geese. They are not exotic beasts at all."
"Only the exotic beasts in the simulation training look like this."
"You sound like you don't take the alien beasts seriously. How can the simulated alien beasts be the same as the real ones?"
"Be careful not to wet your pants before you even touch the fur of the beast."
"You!" The insect was about to get angry when it found that the seat under it shook. Before it could ask the instructor what happened, the seat suddenly collapsed and the whole insect fell out of the aircraft.
Many students shouted in panic, only to find that their companions had fallen out.
Some of the more clever ones have already released their insect wings to stabilize their bodies.
Seeing this, the other students also released their insect wings to cushion the impact of falling from a high altitude.
However, the students from the Medical Department and the Star Network Technology Department had not received enough training and were not very effective in stabilizing their bodies. They fluttered and swayed in the air, as if they were about to fall straight to the ground at the next moment.
The students had small packages wrapped around their waists, and soon sounds came out from inside.
"Dear students, the package contains three days' worth of food and some daily necessities. Your mission this time is very simple: survive in this dangerous area for three months. After three months, your instructor will come to pick you up. I wish you a pleasant journey."
The cadets who landed began to wail.
"The instructor is so stupid! He just gave us a mission, but why did he throw us out of the aircraft? What if it breaks?"
"You're still thinking about this. Why don't you quickly find your own team members? If the number of members decreases, the final results will be disastrous!"
"That damn instructor, he did it on purpose, deliberately making it more difficult for us!"
"I can tell right away you're not a combat type. This is perfectly normal. If I had taken you to the mission location and explained the mission content to you gently, that mission would have been terrifying!"
"Be content. At least the instructor just threw us off the aircraft instead of directly into the mouth of the strange beast."
"Are all combat-types so terrifying? God of Insects, I'm glad I didn't choose the combat-type."
"Haha, combat-types are scary, but in the dangerous wilderness, combat-types have much better survivability than other types."
The students stopped talking because they were getting closer and closer to the ground. They had to find their team members and prevent their supplies from being stolen.
Although three bottles of nutrients may seem like enough for one day at most, let alone three days, to some female insects.
But there were also some simple medicines, boxes for mechas, and repair tools. The tools were very rough, but much better than nothing.
The mission stated that one only needed to survive in the danger zone for three months, but the students all knew that the instructor was so unethical that there must be more requirements than just this.
This is a field training, but it is also an assessment before graduation.
Getting through three months safely is just the basic requirement.
As for other bonus points, students still need to explore them on their own.
"Ah! What are you doing? Are you really trying to steal supplies? We are classmates!"
"Classmate? This is a life-or-death escape test, so who's talking about classmate camaraderie? If there's an opportunity to ascend to the top, would you consider our friendship and give it to me?"
Chong held the package tightly with an ugly look on his face, but his companions were far away, and when they arrived, the package of supplies had already been snatched away.
At this time, a voice came from the intercom again.
"Dear students, although the instructor does not advocate robbing other students' supplies, this is a very brutal survival game. I hope that the students will put their own safety first."
"If a student is in danger, they can press the red button on the intercom. The instructor will come to their side immediately and eliminate the danger, but this also means they will lose the opportunity to take the assessment."
"I hope all students will remember to protect their own insect bodies."
"But don't worry, everyone. Every corner of the danger zone is equipped with monitoring equipment. Even if the students don't have time to press the distress button, the instructor will do his best to save you."
"Also, if I didn't press the distress button, my qualification for the assessment would be invalidated."
When the last sentence came out, all the students' hearts tightened and they looked around vigilantly to prevent other bugs from suddenly attacking, taking away his walkie-talkie, pressing the distress button, and causing them to lose the qualification for this assessment.
There were also some desperate students who, upon hearing that pressing the distress button would invalidate the assessment, simply destroyed the walkie-talkie.
Some students felt it was a pity, some were thoughtful, and some followed suit and destroyed it as well.
The action of the aircraft throwing the insects caught the insects off guard, but Muas reacted faster than the aircraft. He hugged Linxi in his arms the moment the seat collapsed, and used a pair of insect wings to protect the two insects as they descended from mid-air, leaving Linxi no chance to release his insect wings.
Lin Xi's insect wings are completely different from before. Even if some insects don't know what his insect wings look like, they can't expose them rashly.
After landing, the five bugs in their team luckily gathered together. Lin Xi looked at the somewhat chaotic gathering place and said, "Let's leave quickly. This place is not safe."
When the other insects didn't notice them, the five insects hurried away.
Traveling on foot is a very tiring thing, especially when there are unknown dangers lurking nearby.
By the time they found a slope sheltered from the wind, it was already dark.
"The instructor sent us to the edge of the danger zone, not too deep inside. It's still safe for now, but we still need insects to guard at night." Muas said.
Logically speaking, there are only primary exotic beasts here and there is not much danger, but no one can guarantee whether the intermediate exotic beasts deep in the danger zone will run out.
Parker nodded in response, "We have five bugs, one bug per night. I'll guard tonight."
Sander said, "Then I'll go on the second night."
Wylie raised his hand and said, "My third night."
Muas nodded: "Then the fourth and fifth nights will be Lin Xi and I, and so on."
All the insects nodded, wrapped their clothes tightly, and leaned against the slope to sleep. No insect suggested such a stupid thing as lighting a fire to warm themselves, because light is the source of attracting danger.
Darkness spreads at night, and it is impossible to see what is happening in the distance with normal vision. However, the five senses of female insects are stronger than those of male insects, and they can see things even at night, but not as clearly as during the day.
