The clothes they are wearing now are made of special materials. They look like a jacket and a shirt, and the lower body is a pair of dark casual pants that are easy to move in. The overall tone is a bit gray.
Looking at these five people, Bai Ling smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Then he reached out his hand, fumbled in his pocket for a while, and took out five black square objects the size of buttons: "Put these things in the interlayer of your upper pocket."
The five men took the small black square and, as Bering said, put it in their pockets.
The clothes were probably specially made, with a small groove on the outside of the pocket, just enough to hold the small black square.
Watching the actions of the five people, Bai Ling said easily: "This is a video recording device."
"This device is very secure, and for personal privacy reasons, you have the right to turn it off on your own. However, in combat and negotiation situations, please ensure that the recording device is turned on so that headquarters can evaluate it."
After hearing this, the five of them nodded slightly to show that they understood.
It can be said that this is already a great respect for the students' personal privacy.
For example, the recording can be turned off for normal physiological activities, but it needs to be turned on for critical hunting and conversation sessions to allow for background evaluation.
There is a sentence in Bailing’s manual that the accompanying teachers have the right and obligation to remind students to turn on the video equipment at critical moments that are not personal and private.
This is also one of the few functions of teachers.
All in all, it's pretty humane.
At least so far, no students have lost their temper over this matter.
Everyone knows the meaning of this thing, and also knows that the committee wants to make this exercise more fair and healthy, and at the same time provide more references.
All we can say is that we understand each other.
Thinking in this way, the five people basically had no objection.
Looking at the five students who were ready to go with solemn expressions, Bai Ling clapped his hands again: "Very good."
"Then you should prepare to go into the mountains," Bai Ling said, pulling out another map from his pocket. "During the day, I will keep a certain distance from you and observe from the side. If you encounter a danger that you are obviously unable to handle, I will come forward to resolve it. Of course, such a situation will not affect your performance."
"However, if I judge that you can solve it on your own, I will not show up. So please be careful. There are many people who have lost their lives due to carelessness in previous exercises. In any case, staying alert to the surrounding environment at all times is the key to whether you can survive the operation of hunting aliens!"
After finishing speaking, Bai Ling waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."
The words fell.
The five people looked at each other.
Then, under the leadership of "Black Scythe" Peter, they broke into the lush jungle in the order of Kaguya Bamboo Cutter, Crazy Crocodile, Lake Fairy and Li Jingwen.
Watching the five people leave, Bai Ling glanced at his phone: "Well, the current time is 10:11 am..."
Judging from the time, the traitors have probably completed the first step and started to lie dormant, quietly waiting for the second step.
According to the information that Bering had previously obtained by combining it with future predictions, those traitors would not make any other unusual moves for at least half a day to a day.
They probably know very well that the more actions they take, the easier it is to be discovered. So they reveal their purpose bit by bit every time, just like squeezing toothpaste. It's like weaving an airtight net, quietly waiting for the prey to jump into the net in panic, and then be restrained and killed bit by bit while struggling.
I have to say, those alien species and human rapists are quite like patient hunters.
If nothing unexpected happens, once this net is successfully surrounded, most of the people participating in the exercise in Yanxia Mountain may die.
In fact, such a problem has already been vaguely exposed in the prediction of the future.
If Bai Ling remembered correctly, Qi Guang, who participated in the future exercise, once said in person that only 30% to 40% of the people survived after Yanxia Mountain.
This is a pretty scary number.
You have to know that the participants in this exercise are all young talents that are rare in recent times, and there are also many famous old-generation masters who serve as accompanying teachers to guide them. However, even under such circumstances, more than half of the people still died tragically...
This is definitely a blow to humanity.
The traitors and aliens had planned it very carefully. They had probably been preparing for Yanxia Mountain for a long time, just waiting to use this opportunity to deal a fatal blow to humans.
And if there were no unexpected factors, this blow would indeed be a heavy blow to humanity.
Bai Ling even felt that behind Yanxia Mountain, those alien species probably had prepared more means.
For example... the meteorological disaster in Xinhai City! Anyway, if Bai Ling was one of those monsters, he would definitely not take action if he saw such a big disaster in Xinhai City.
It is even possible that the weather disaster in Xinhai City in the original timeline was actually caused by the aliens...
Thinking of this, Bai Ling gently stroked his chin: "Although it's just a guess, it's not impossible."
The way Bering in the original world looks at the future mainly relies on the Internet and news.
This also means that the information he knows is definitely not absolutely true.
If someone wanted to conceal the disaster in Xinhai City and deliberately gave it the title of "ordinary natural disaster", I in the original world probably would not be able to detect it.
It can only be said that foreknowledge is not omniscience. Unless Bering himself can cross the long river of time in one step and lightly touch the sands of fate, the information he collects will inevitably be the same as his own in the original world, with timeliness and uncertainty.
Omniscience and omnipotence are the realm of God. Even many alien species from distorted myths do not possess such authority. True omniscience and omnipotence probably only exist in human delusion.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling couldn't help but sigh.
There is no other way. Although it is a bit troublesome, we still have to move forward.
Thinking of this, he glanced at his phone again, confirmed the current time, and thought to himself: "Most of the means have been arranged in advance. If we want to continue to take action, we must wait until the other side moves first."
This means that I currently have about half a day of free time.
Well, if that's the case, then just look after your teammates.
After all, I am still the accompanying teacher of this team.
And you still have to give yourself a score later.
Although he could use his ability to predict the future to predict the scores given by others, and then make up a similar score for himself, Bai Ling still felt it was necessary to take a closer look from a job perspective.
What's more, there are two time bombs in that team...
Thinking of this, Bai Ling rolled his eyes, then picked up the handbag beside him and walked slowly into the woods.
And at the same time.
In the team where Li Jingwen is.
They were now walking beside a stream.
At this time, they had been away from Bering's gathering place for quite some time and had walked a long distance.
The climate in Yanxia Mountain is very good, and even in modern times, its air can be called fresh. The water in the stream is crystal clear, and you can even see a few small fish swimming in the clear water, swimming and falling quickly along the direction of the stream.
Looking at this place always makes people feel a lot better.
Taking a deep breath, the sturdy man in the team, "Crazy Crocodile," sighed and said, "What a beautiful view."
"I grew up in the city and have rarely been to the countryside. Every day I see tall buildings. It's really surprising to see such a scene."
The urbanization level in North America is relatively high, and although the transportation is relatively convenient, due to personal identity issues, Crazy Crocodile rarely travels to places outside of metropolitan areas. As for places like natural ecological parks, since there are none in his city, he has basically never seen them.
For example, today's trip to Yanxia Mountain can be considered his first time traveling far away.
The last time I traveled far away was when I was in junior high school, when I went to the neighboring city to participate in a rugby game.
Peter glanced at the tall mad crocodile and sneered, "You are short-sighted."
"In our area, you can even see wild animals in the forest. Rabbits, deer, and other animals can all be hunted. The trees are connected together like a barrier that covers half of the forest. In the deeper and more hidden areas, you can even see ferocious giant bears and hidden poisonous snakes."
Peter glanced at the dense forest nearby and said disdainfully, "There are places like this everywhere in our area. In the past, every year during the holidays, my family and I would take guns and go hunting in the woods. This was a proof of honor and courage."
Hearing this, the Crazy Crocodile was stunned for a moment: "Oh, hunting, that feels quite interesting."
He didn't take Peter's provocation seriously. Strictly speaking, Crazy Crocodile was not a narrow-minded person. Even though he had such a nickname, he was actually quite gentle on weekdays, even a bit like a good guy.
Only on rare occasions would he be aroused to the rage in his heart, releasing the evil beast buried in his heart to tear apart all prey and enemies.
He's generally pretty easy to get along with.
After Peter failed to get any good out of the Crazy Crocodile, he was too lazy to continue talking to the tall guy.
He glanced at Li Jingwen and Huiye, his eyes flickering slightly.
After a while, he walked up to Kaguya and said with a smile, "It's nice to meet you, 'Kaguya-sama'. Your superior conditions and reputation are as good as those rumored. I think today should be a lucky day to meet someone like you."
Although he said some extremely cheesy love words, there was no trace of indecent desire in Peter's eyes.
He just wanted to talk to the genius of this island country, understand the situation, and preferably get more information, that's all.
Before Peter spoke, Kaguya was looking in a certain direction.
Although she seemed to be looking at the dense forest in the distance, in fact, she kept Li Jingwen's figure beside her in her sight from beginning to end.
After Peter started talking, Kaguya's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible annoyance, but she soon calmed down and turned to Peter with a reserved smile: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Peter Wells."
"However, this is an important exercise right now, so perhaps we should pay a little more attention to the situation nearby."
As she spoke, Kaguya pointed to a place in the distance: "Just now, I seemed to hear someone's voice from that direction."
Someone's voice? After being interrupted by Kaguya, Peter stopped thinking about having a good chat.
He glanced at the dense forest in the distance, groaned for a moment, then turned to look at his companions: "What do you think?"
"Since this is an exercise to test your ability to cooperate with strangers, everyone should have equal say in the decision-making process, so why not let everyone express their opinions and then vote by raising their hands," Peter said. "In my opinion, we should go over and take a look."
"It doesn't matter even if it's a trap," Peter said lightly, "If it's a trap, then we can crush it with our powerful strength, which may be a plus."
The four companions looked at each other.
The Crazy Crocodile touched the back of his head, smiled and said, "I think I should go take a look too."
"If there really is a problem, then just fight them," said the mad crocodile in a relaxed voice. "We have to conduct the exercise anyway."
The lake fairy also nodded.
Her real name is "Eileen". She looks quiet and elegant, with long golden hair falling down like a waterfall, sticking to her cheeks.
"Let's go and have a look," she thought a little more, "If it's a monster, then start hunting and develop some rapport. If it's a person, then socialize and improve your score."
After getting the second response, Peter turned his gaze to Kaguya.
After Huiye glanced at Li Jingwen behind her, she said leisurely, "I have no objection either."
So far, four people have agreed.
Finally, Peter set his sights on Li Jingwen.
Unlike the gaze he gave the person in front of him, Peter's eyes this time were a little dark.
Li Jingwen felt a little flustered when being looked at like this.
But she quickly calmed down and said calmly: "I have no objection either."
As she said this, she placed her hand on her chest and gently pressed something on her chest.
With this thing, she is not afraid of fighting.
At least she has been training for such a long time, and now she is eager to prove herself through a real battle.
After everyone agreed, they decided to take a look in that direction.
Following the direction pointed by Kaguya, the five people walked steadily into the dense forest.
Soon, they found the "voice" that Kaguya mentioned.
It was a man half leaning against a big tree, with a wounded leg and blood all over the ground.
The man looked to be in his twenties. His face had turned very pale due to blood loss, and sweat was dripping from his forehead like rain.
At this moment, a bandage mark could be clearly seen on his thigh, but blood was still flowing.
Looking at the injured man, Peter frowned slightly.
He thought for a moment, took two steps forward and said, "Hello..."
However, he had not yet finished speaking.
The next second, the injured man raised his head after hearing the sound and looked at Peter in shock and anger: "You!"
"Get out! Get out!" the injured man roared, "Do you still want to fight? If you keep going like this, I will definitely kill you!"
As he spoke, he took out something from his pocket and pointed it directly in Peter's direction!
Looking at that thing, Peter's pupils shrank slightly.
