After hanging up the phone, Bai Ling sat on the bus and closed his eyes to rest.
The time at this moment is 9:40, and about ten minutes have passed since the traitors started to act.
So far, everything has been within my expectations.
Currently, the traitor's sphere of influence is divided into three parts.
The first part is the infiltration of the Nine-Headed God Cult.
These scumbags have had pawns in the committee and various countries for a long time, but because they have always been low-key and relatively weak, they have been able to remain until now;
Secondly, it’s Western Europe.
I have to say, the situation in Western Europe is really... outrageous.
When Bai Ling saw the list of traitors with the help of future foresight, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
I can hardly remember all the names on that page.
Just looking at this list of traitors, the situation in Western Europe can be said to be extremely bad.
It’s no wonder that old man Oliver felt that it was not a good idea to let Gerald stay in that place, and agreed to Bering to bring Gerald back to the country.
That place is really messy.
And this is just the traitor exposed in this exercise.
Bering can be sure that there must be some guys in Western Europe who have not been exposed or are hiding deeper.
To be able to have such a huge organizational structure and team of traitors, there must be a huge group behind those guys.
Unfortunately, Bering has no clues or news about that group so far.
Precognition is not omniscience. He has no way of collecting the past and present lives of everyone and examining them one by one.
Even this list of traitors was found out through the unremitting efforts of the Future Committee, Qi Guang and others.
So there are bound to be omissions.
But even so, it was enough for Bering to see a huge conspiracy hidden under the deep water that had not surfaced for a long time.
It is no exaggeration to say that if a traitor really sabotaged this exercise, it would be a huge blow to humanity.
Because disrupting this joint military exercise must be just the first step for them.
A first step to tell the world that they exist here! After that, they will bare their fangs, rush towards Bering and his men with a brave attitude, bite open human blood vessels with sharp teeth, and devour their former kind! Thinking of this, Bering tapped the handrail with his fingers: "But why is there no record of this exercise in the diary?"
According to the information in the diary, the exercise on the original timeline should have been carried out peacefully and smoothly.
How come there were so many problems with the joint military exercise on this timeline? After thinking about it, Bai Ling felt that it was probably because of himself.
Although there is no guarantee that he is the only variable, there is no doubt that he is definitely the most uncertain factor in the world right now.
Basically, anything that doesn't match the diary is because of him...
So, thinking about everything he had done, Bai Ling had a guess.
Is it because of the aliens’ defeat in the country and the fact that some events did not develop in the direction of the monsters that made them a little anxious?
For example... the witch was defeated, Lan Kong of the Nine-Headed God Cult was seriously injured and his life was in danger, and Qing Guang was also defeated. In addition to this, the public and expansion of alien species in the country made the monsters begin to have doubts.
After all, "revealing the existence of alien species" is not actually a good thing for monsters.
Once people have cognition, they will no longer fear the unknown. At the same time, they will also have a deeper level of vigilance. In this case, it will become very difficult for aliens to hide in human society.
So, in such a precarious situation, they had to take the initiative? After thinking about it, Bai Ling felt that this guess should be more reliable.
So you blame me? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile: "Ha, interesting."
Many of the things I have done so far seem to have changed the world unknowingly, making the original timeline unclear and turning the future of mankind from a scorched earth into a confusing fog.
To be honest, Bering didn't know whether this was the right path.
All we can say is that he is also groping in the dark.
But as of today, at least it is much stronger than before.
Wang Weizheng would not have died so early, Ding Yan would not have gone completely crazy, and Song Qingci would not have been tortured like a toy. Others, such as Ji Qianqin and Li Jingwen, also had a brighter future.
Bai Ling lowered his head, glanced at his palms, and thought to himself: 'Looking back, I probably did a pretty good job?'
At least, there are no more tragedies, but a peaceful and leisurely daily life.
There was no crying, no screaming of losing a loved one, and no despair so painful that it almost tore the heart apart.
Everything was as bright and dazzling as the sun outside the car window.
This made Bering feel very happy.
However, not everything is bright and shiny.
Turning his head to look at the students on the bus, Bai Ling wanted to roll his eyes.
He didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky to have gathered all these guys into his team.
So far, he has five members on his team.
First up is Li Jingwen, a member of Ming Zhou, who probably needs no introduction.
The second was "Black Scythe" Peter Wells, the man who had been standing under the bus and looked at Li Jingwen provocatively.
This guy probably lost face with Li Jingwen and the others before, so he wanted to get it back. But because Bai Ling was in the car, he didn't dare to act rashly.
In fact, when Bai Ling's gaze swept over him, the little boy's body trembled a little, and then he looked at the scenery outside the car window as if nothing had happened, as if he had not noticed anything.
Perhaps Bai Ling's previous attack left him with such a deep impression and fear that even now, he still didn't dare to look Bai Ling in the eye.
This made Bai Ling feel very interesting.
Even though he knew that Peter's current state was due to someone's mental tampering, it did not prevent Bering from having a very good impression of the boy.
It wasn't because he spoke rudely to Ding Yan, Li Jingwen and others, although this did give Bai Ling a bad first impression of him.
What really makes Bai Ling feel uncomfortable is his future.
The future of that cruel, tyrannical "Black Scythe".
Glancing at Peter, Bering's mind flashed: 'If nothing unexpected happens, Peter's sister - 'White Death' will die in the trial in five months.'
'Peter will become gloomy and violent. Although he was arrogant in the past, he still had his own pride. But after his sister died, Peter became extreme.'
Although he did not join the ranks of alien species, and even continued to hunt alien species to death, it did not prevent him from spreading his anger and terror among the human group.
He is like a tyrant with outstanding martial arts skills. Even though he has an amazing record against alien species, such as single-handedly chopping off the head of a "disaster" with a sickle, or participating in the "origin crusade" of the witch, it can be shown that his achievements are indeed extraordinary.
But at the same time, his brutality and cruelty cannot be ignored.
As a top hunter, the human blood on his hands is not much less than the blood of alien species.
So Bai Ling's impression of him is quite complicated.
In fact, if this child is guided well, he will probably become a lonely, arrogant, but relatively positive hero in the future.
Because at least he has his own bottom line.
Although Peter is a pragmatist, to be honest, if he encounters special circumstances, he is willing to act for the majority.
However, if a person does not grow up well, he or she will become an extremely crazy "weird" after abandoning principles and ignoring others.
A very complicated and troublesome genius.
This is Bering's view of Peter.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head: "Forget it, there are still five months left."
For now, we just need to make sure that Peter's sister, "White Death" Roxanne Desway, doesn't die.
Let's consider other things later.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling once again turned his attention to the third student.
The third student is a very beautiful girl. Her long black hair looks like it was dyed with ink and floats in the air. She has a stunning haziness and dreaminess, as if she is looking through space into an elegant painting.
Her movements were also very graceful, and even in the car, she still sat very properly.
After noticing Bai Ling's gaze, the girl raised her face and gave Bai Ling a bright smile.
Bai Ling smiled back.
But even though he was smiling on his face, there wasn't much smile in Bai Ling's heart.
Retracting his gaze, Bai Ling's eyes flickered: "The genius of the island nation, 'Kaguya-hime'."
This girl was the one who was used as an example when Song Qingci introduced her to Ding Yan and the others. She was a young genius from an island country, Kaguya Taketori, who was respected as "Princess Kaguya".
This name was not actually her real name at the beginning, but because of some of her experiences later, and the certain connection between her and Princess Kaguya in the island country's legend, she was given "Kaguya the Bamboo Cutter", the real name of the legendary Moon Princess who came to the world.
Of course, Kaguya’s appearance is indeed worthy of being called “Princess Kaguya”.
She is very beautiful, a beauty that is different from that of Lin Ju or Song Qingci. Her beauty can be described as "hazy" and "holy."
It is like the bright moon hanging alone in the sky at night, its light shining whitely on the ground, making everything look unclear. The feeling given by Kaguya the Bamboo Cutter is just that hazy.
But Bering was very clear.
Kaguya Taketori is a psychopath with a serious brain disease, just like other geniuses!
No matter how well she behaves now, when her true nature is exposed, it will definitely tear apart all the impressions people have of her! Therefore, Kaguya Taketori is a person who hides herself relatively well.
Other geniuses, soon after the advent of the "origin", felt that life was becoming increasingly gloomy, and either gave up on themselves or were stimulated to expose their true nature. This process basically occurred within a year, and it was rare for them to conceal their own personality for more than a year.
But Kaguya is not.
She hid her personality for three years.
This is a very scary sign.
Because this means that Kaguya is a person with strong performance ability and self-management.
Even in the doomsday world where humans can hardly see the future, she can maintain a noble and perfect image, and even ranked alongside Song Qingci at the beginning...
What a terrifying self-control and talent.
Just thinking about it gave Bai Ling a headache.
Compared to Kaguya, the remaining two students are pretty good.
One is the "crazy crocodile" in North America, and the other is the "lake fairy" in Britain.
"Crazy Crocodile" is a rough-looking boy, about twenty-one years old, and his abilities seem to be related to "crocodile".
The "Lake Leprechaun" is a person who is related to the legend of King Arthur.
Both of them are very strong and are among the best in the local area.
Moreover, compared with Peter and Kaguya, these two people have obvious advantages - that is, although these two people have some problems with their brains, they are much more normal than Peter and Kaguya.
Basically, she is on the same level as Ji Qianqin.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling even began to ponder: "Oh, now that I have seen a lot of talented people, should I rank them with these mentally ill guys?"
Madmen like Kaguya are definitely at the top, while sacrifices and inferiority complexes like Li Jingwen are at a relatively low level.
As for Qi Guang and Wang Weizheng, they are ordinary people and units of measurement.
After arranging them this way, my future self will probably be more comfortable in choosing which people to deal with which problems...
After thinking about it, Bai Ling nodded, feeling that it was still necessary to execute it.
With this thought in mind.
About half an hour passed.
Soon, the bus stopped somewhere.
After the sound of tires rubbing against the ground, the bus door opened and the students got off the bus one by one.
Bering was the last to come down.
He waved to the bus driver and allowed him to leave first.
This bus was not the one Bering got from the witch.
That car is now somewhere else and has another function.
Looking at the students coming down, Bai Ling clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone, let's gather together."
After noticing that everyone's attention was on him, Bai Ling smiled and said, "I believe everyone has roughly understood the mission of this exercise."
"That's right," Bai Ling said, "The key to this exercise is hunting!"
He pointed to the distant mountain peaks shrouded in smoke and said meaningfully: "There are many alien species in this mountain now."
"Your mission is to work as a team, demonstrate your individual abilities and the foundation of unity, and hunt those enemies together with teammates you are not familiar with!"
"Of course, hunting doesn't mean you just go into the mountains and hack and slash. In fact, under the arrangement of the committee, this exercise will have modern 'game' elements. There are 'NPCs' in the mountains, and you can get information, accept tasks, and then complete the hunt. Getting along with those 'NPCs' is also part of the exercise. After all, we will need to act as the sword and shield of mankind in the future, and it is also necessary to deal with ordinary people."
When he spoke, everyone present listened attentively.
Even Peter, who had the worst impression of Bering, listened to Bering's words seriously and carefully.
After briefly introducing the rules, Bai Ling said, "There are some other new contents in this exercise, which I will not elaborate on. Observation is also an important factor in evaluating you."
"Then I declare that this exercise officially begins."
As he spoke, Bai Ling glanced at the others and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Before that, please go to the dressing room next door and change your clothes."
