According to Zhuge Ling's description, the testing site was operating as usual, but it was attacked a few days ago.
There are no particularly powerful alien beasts near this monitoring point, and the one guarding it is a ninth-level martial artist, Wu Lei.
The bandits who attacked this place were also led by a ninth-rank bandit, who took advantage of Wu Lei's hunting trip to attack the area.
She was put into the basement by her teacher and lived there for a few days using the supplies there.
During this time, there was no sound outside for a long time. Just as I was getting the urge to go out, I heard the sounds of a great battle coming from outside.
Based on the timing, she deduced that Wu Lei encountered the wilderness bandits lying in ambush upon his return.
The sound quickly disappeared after being ambushed, which also dispelled Zhuge Ling's idea of going out.
Until now, there had been no movement. Zhuge Ling, whose supplies were almost exhausted, was forced to come out and coincidentally bumped into these two people, which led to the scene just now.
After listening to her account, Shangwu didn't rush to confirm it, but instead led the two men away.
A moment later, he returned alone and nodded, saying, "The situation is quite clear now. We can just take her back and report it directly."
Upon hearing that he could go back, Han Jisheng raised his hand without hesitation: "Agreed!"
Ye Bufan nodded: "Indeed, the wilderness bandits are far stronger than us. We should retreat first."
Qi Jie had no objections.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Yu Rui had no choice but to nod in agreement as well.
As for those two, everyone knew what their fate would be, so no one asked.
"Will you take me back to Kaitian City?" Zhuge Ling was overjoyed: "Thank you!"
Seeing her grateful expression, Ye Bufan scratched his head sheepishly and said, "It's nothing, it's what I should do."
Glug glug…
Zhuge Ling blushed and lowered her head, covering her stomach in embarrassment.
“You must be starving too. Let’s eat something before we continue our journey,” Qi Jie suggested.
"The suggestion is good," Shangwu said irritably, "but don't mention it again next time."
Han Jisheng was also scared: "Brother Jie, what do you mean by 'going on the road'..."
Ye Bufan was speechless.
Yu Rui took out some bread and distributed it to everyone. After eating a simple meal, they headed towards the gate.
"Oh, right." Zhuge Ling stopped in her tracks. "Um, I need to bring the latest data back with me."
"no problem."
Shangwu gave Yu Rui a look.
"I'll go with you." Yu Rui understood and followed Zhuge Ling as she copied data in front of the computer.
“Your skill level isn’t high enough, so you can take these boots.” Yu Rui handed her the shoes instantly.
At least Zhuge Ling, a first-tier martial artist, can use it to run faster.
"Thank you," Zhuge Ling said politely.
In the quiet room, Yu Rui suddenly asked a question.
"Your teacher, aren't you worried?"
Zhuge Ling's expression changed slightly, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, but she still managed a smile: "That's too dangerous. I'm already very grateful to you for saving me, how can I let you take such a risk?"
Yu Rui looked her over; she was a very nice girl.
After copying the data, Zhuge Ling patted her cheeks, suppressing the sadness that had just welled up inside her.
"Let's go, they've been waiting a long time."
The group began to move forward in the original direction, unaware that the dimly lit security camera at the entrance had slowly moved.
"By the way, you should be freshmen this year, right?"
On the way, Zhuge Ling asked curiously, "Are you here to receive a mission so early? Aren't you afraid of danger?"
Shang Wu calmly replied, "It's alright."
Han Jisheng smiled slightly: "I had no choice, I was forced into it."
Ye Bufan said awkwardly, "I'm just idling around anyway, and besides, it's been too long since I've fought, so I might be out of practice."
“Don’t underestimate us.” Qi Jie grinned. “Although we are freshmen, we have fought against the Creation Cult and captured the Disaster Rabbit. We are not ordinary freshmen.”
"Heh, Ye Bufan captured the disaster seed, what does it have to do with you?" Yu Rui sneered.
"Um...it might help a little, right?"
Qi Jie said timidly, "Brother Ye, what do you think?"
"Everyone deserves credit."
"Disaster Seeds? You actually defeated the Disaster Seeds?" Zhuge Ling was somewhat incredulous.
"Pretty much, but they've all been eliminated except for Bufan," Shangwu nodded.
This changed Zhuge Ling's gaze towards Ye Bufan; she never expected that someone could defeat the Disaster during the freshman exam.
Han Jisheng asked suspiciously, "Do you know what the assessment will entail?"
Zhuge Ling paused, then nodded and said, "I know a little bit. This is a part of the program every year. I think it's about a rabbit."
“That’s right, the cloaked rabbit,” Qi Jie said.
Shang Wu pondered, "Are the people at the monitoring station all so well-informed?"
Zhuge Ling nodded: "Yes, we don't have many entertainment activities. Surfing the Internet is our only hobby. We can also surf the internal website of Kaitian Academy."
"Interesting." Qi Jie became interested: "Do you know who that red-clad female ghost from the Creation Cult is?"
Yu Rui clenched her fists silently, but Qi Jie was completely unaware and continued rambling on.
“I scared her half to death last time. Now I’m much stronger. According to my teacher, it’s a breakthrough in technique. I feel like I could send her flying with a single blow.”
"I don't know, I haven't seen it online." Zhuge Ling shook her head.
"Shh..."
Han Jisheng stopped walking, interrupting everyone's chatter.
"There's someone there."
The group immediately hid on the tree trunk, using the breath control techniques they had learned at school to suppress the energy fluctuations in their bodies.
Zhuge Ling also knew this trick and hid it on top of him.
"Didn't the boss say they'd all been found? Why are they coming back?"
"Oh, one is missing. Apparently, it was revealed when those people were chatting."
