Chapter 231 Champion Review: The Secret of 280 Points Lin Hao's gaze darted away, not daring to meet her expectant and pressure-filled eyes.
This deathly silence is more lethal than any words.
The air around them seemed to freeze. The trainees' gazes, which had initially been mocking and gloating, gradually turned into amusement at the prospect of watching a good show.
"What's going on? Why isn't Lin Hao saying anything?"
"Look at the paint on him, and on Sun Erniu, they're both 'dead in battle'! What kind of flag would a dead person have on them?"
"My God, really? Bai Wei bragged for so long that her team went to retrieve the flag, but it turns out the team got wiped out?"
"This...this is just a huge joke!"
Hearing these whispers, Bai Wei felt her cheeks burning, and an unprecedented sense of shame shot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
impossible.
Lin Hao is so strong, how could he be eliminated? Sun Erniu is just a female soldier, no matter how fast she runs, where can she go? There must be some mistake!
"Lin Hao!" Bai Wei could no longer control her emotions. "I'm asking you a question! Are you mute?! The flag, where is our flag?!"
She shook Lin Hao's arm vigorously, as if trying to shake the answer out of his tightly closed mouth.
Lin Hao stumbled from her shaking, his face contorted with humiliation and pain. He abruptly shook off Bai Wei's hand and growled, "Don't ask anymore!"
This low growl froze Bai Wei in place.
"quiet!"
Just then, Chief Instructor Lei Kuan's icy voice rang out from the mountaintop, instantly silencing all the noise.
His sharp, hawk-like eyes swept over Bai Wei, then landed on Lin Hao and Sun Erniu, who were looking down.

The two dared not slack off in the slightest. With stiff steps, they walked to the front of the line and stood next to the registration desk, where they became the focus of everyone's attention.
“Tell me the whole story of how you were eliminated.” Lei Kuan’s tone left no room for argument.
All eyes were once again focused on Lin Hao.
This time, it was the head instructor's order, and he had no way to escape.
Lin Hao lowered his head even further, his hands clenched into fists at his sides.
Making him admit in front of hundreds of people in the entire battalion that he was eliminated by two female soldiers, one of whom was recognized by the entire battalion as a "burden," would be worse than killing him.
Time ticked by, and Lin Hao's lips twitched a few times, but he still couldn't make a sound.
The atmosphere on the mountaintop became increasingly eerie.
Lei Kuan's patience was clearly limited, and his brows furrowed into a knot: "Lin Hao, do I need to repeat myself?"
Lin Hao's body trembled violently.
He knew he could no longer escape it.
He took a deep breath, as if using all his strength.
He raised his head, looking past the stunned Bai Wei, and at Lei Kuan in the center of the arena. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, and finally, with difficulty, he uttered, word by word, the words that would plunge Bai Wei into an abyss:
"Reporting, Instructor..."
"She...did not lie."
"We...we've been eliminated."
