Chapter 123 Grand Exercise 1 [Update 1]
Ruan Xi proved with facts that he did not suddenly stop wanting to win, but just insisted on sticking to his own pace. Facts also proved once again that victory always comes to those who are prepared.
Ruan Xi was the one who was ready to receive the fruits of victory from the very beginning.
A boy who was left behind by Ruan Xi for a full five kilometers and almost died from running, and who once shamelessly said that Ruan Xi was all show and no substance and that he would definitely beat Ruan Xi: "..." He was so desperate that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself!
Losing five kilometers, what on earth does that even mean? Is Ruan Xi still human?
"Don't look at me like that. Go ask the instructors what their grades are like. Only by taking them as our goals can we become stronger." The implication was that Ruan Xi was still far behind, and those guys who only knew how to gossip behind people's backs were even further behind, maybe even several planets away from him.
Ruan Xi was too lazy to argue with these people and went to present his treasure to his commander-in-chief.
"Commander-in-chief, look, I also got the first place in the last event. I'm definitely the first place in the individual competition. How about it? I didn't let your hard work and special training every night down. Look at my muscles!" Ruan Xi deliberately raised his voice a little louder so that everyone around him could hear it clearly. He also showed off his recently strengthened biceps in a silly way, and smiled brightly. He was really... arrogant and cute.
She was so cute that He Ziqian wanted to hug her in his arms, rub her, and give her a firm kiss.
How come his little miracle doctor can recruit so many people?
"Well, very good. Keep up the good work." He Ziqian barely suppressed the urge to hug the person in his arms, calmed himself down and gave the usual praise.
"Of course you should! Commander-in-chief, even after the military training is over, you have to continue to give me special training. I think your training method is particularly suitable for me!" While speaking, Ruan Xi also threw a subtle wink to He Ziqian in front of everyone, which made He Ziqian so angry that he almost wanted to carry him away.
"Where's the promised reward?" Ruan Xi didn't forget that on the first day of the special training, someone promised him a reward if he practiced well, and he still owed it!
"What do you want?" He Ziqian was also straightforward. He threw down a blank check and asked Ruan Xi to fill it out casually.
"I haven't thought of it yet. I'll ask the commander-in-chief when I think of it!" Even if I have thought of it, I can't reveal it in public. What if it scares everyone?
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come and claim the prize." He Ziqian replied with a smile. In the eyes of others, his eyes were full of satisfaction and appreciation for the students he had personally trained. In Ruan Xi's view, He Ziqian's eyes were full of love when he looked at him, so full that it was about to overflow.
Sure enough, the man he liked could not be a dullard when it came to feelings. Look at his passionate eyes, they were almost burning him.
After the individual competition, it is the team competition. There is no limit on the number of people in the team. The number of people in the team is as large as you can form. However, whether you can match the corresponding number of opponents is uncertain. If you are really unlucky, you can only regroup and try again.
Ruan Xi's performance during military training, especially in the individual competitions, was definitely the most eye-catching star. During the team competitions, Ruan Xi was sought after by everyone, and it seemed as if everyone wished there was a Ruan Xi in every team.
Ruan Xi: "..." He doesn't want to be schizophrenic!
So, from the beginning to the end, Ruan Xi only formed a three-person team with Mao Haoyang and Liang Hong, and never formed a team with any other number of people.
Mao Haoyang and Liang Hong originally thought that with Ruan Xi around, they could be led throughout the whole process and just wait to win without any effort. As a result, Ruan Xi did lead them, but he really wanted them to fly. Various practical exercises were imposed on them, and Ruan Xi did not show any mercy from beginning to end.
Soft-hearted? That's even more impossible. Ruan Xi even complained that the team competition was too short!
Mao Haoyang and Liang Hong finally stepped onto the podium for first place in the three-person team competition while crying. Others thought they were crying for joy, but they didn't know that they were actually just celebrating their survival.
They almost didn't make it off the field alive. Could they tell anyone about this? Of course not! After all, at least in other people's eyes, they were still considered heroes. If the truth was revealed, wouldn't they instantly become cowards?
"Are you still crying?" Ruan Xi looked at his two friends, feeling neither amused nor helpless. He said this coldly, and the two of them immediately stopped crying, stood stiffly where they were, and even stiffly performed a not-so-proper military salute.
"Don't cry! I'm happy!"
Ruan Xi: “…” It turns out that once you acquire the funny attribute, you’ll never be able to change it in your lifetime.
"You can't cry. The upcoming big exercise will be the real test. If we are divided into different camps then, you have to pray that you don't meet me, or at least don't meet me too early." Ruan Xi said with a smile, making Mao Haoyang and Liang Hong's hair stand on end.
"Please put us in the same camp..." Damn, if they were really put in Ruan Xi's opposing camp, Ruan Xi would definitely shoot them the first time they met, and there would be no mercy!
"Haha, be good. If we are in the same camp, I will definitely try my best to protect you!" After saying this lightly, Ruan Xi turned around and left slowly.
The cultural class will start in twenty minutes, so it’s just the right time to go to the classroom now.
Regardless of whether there were more wins or losses in the individual and team competitions, it seemed that they had ignited everyone's enthusiasm for the final assessment - the grand exercise. No matter where Ruan Xi went, he could hear people talking about topics related to the grand exercise, such as forming teams in advance, coming up with several strategies in advance, or simply hiding to avoid fighting. There were countless such things. When Ruan Xi listened to these things now, it was as if he was watching children playing house, and it felt particularly childish.
If you were a student at a military university, you wouldn't be in such a situation, right?
Amidst everyone's feelings of nervousness, anticipation, or panic, the final assessment of military training - the large-scale exercise - is finally here.
The next day is the day when the big exercise begins. All the trainees will be dropped onto a primitive planet that has been artificially maintained for many years. In the next fifteen days, they will survive, fight, assemble camps, and work together with their companions to win the final victory.
The weapons they use are all specially made simulated weapons. When the bullets hit the target, they will leave an indelible mark on the target. This mark is the representative color of the camp. As long as the vital parts of the body are hit, they can only withdraw from the exercise and go to the monitoring center to wait for the final result.
The large-scale military exercises on the first day mobilized everyone, and everyone was very excited. They wanted to stay awake until dawn and go straight to the battlefield. However, the excitement lasted until the second half of the night. The exhaustion after the mental excitement made everyone fall into a deep sleep, even Ruan Xi was no exception.
When his consciousness was blurred, Ruan Xi realized something was wrong, but he did not feel any danger, so he fell asleep peacefully without caring.
However, when Ruan Xi woke up, before he even opened his eyes, he already felt something was wrong around him. He immediately turned over vigilantly and looked around with his bright eyes, not at all like someone who had just woken up.
"here it is……"
Seeing this, Ruan Xi was a little stunned. At this moment, he was not in the familiar base dormitory, but... a primeval forest.
However, he was only stunned for a moment before he understood what had happened.
"It seems that the big exercise has already begun." The feeling of something wrong he had last night turned out to be no illusion. In order to have a unique opening, the school and the base had put a lot of effort into it.
Ruan Xi didn't care. He was very familiar with and accustomed to the wild mountain environment. But looking at the primeval forests, he suddenly missed the big trees.
"Hey, little tree, did the big tree send you any message? You can still communicate smoothly, right?" Ruan Xi checked the backpack beside him, took out the things in the backpack one by one, counted them, and put them back one by one.
A single sleeping bag, a bottle of water, three compressed foods, a mini first aid kit, a realistic gun, and a distress signaler are all the supplies in the backpack.
"We can communicate, but Dashu has been in seclusion lately and hasn't been paying much attention to me. He only asked me to pass on your news regularly so he can be sure you're okay."
"It's worthy of being called a big tree." The big tree's care, like family, made Ruan Xi feel warm in her heart.
While chatting with Xiaoshu, Ruan Xi shouldered his backpack and prepared to head north. The large-scale exercise had no targets to capture, nor a clear destination. If the battle could be concluded within fifteen days, the winner would be clear. If not, the monitoring center's backend data would determine the outcome.
This is a test that combines survival and combat. In short, it is definitely not an easy job.
Of course, this does not apply to those who were killed at the beginning and could only wait in the monitoring center for the end of the exercise.
Ruan Xi searched his backpack and his entire body until he finally saw the colors representing his faction in the magazine of his simulated gun. The bullets were the colors of his faction, and his bullets were... golden orange. This made him frown slightly. He'd only heard of the Red and Blue factions, so how could there suddenly be an Orange faction?
He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it, so he could only walk and see.
There is only one magazine in the simulated gun, but there are two thousand bullets in the magazine. If a student is strong enough, this number of bullets is enough to kill all the students at least once.
"Two thousand bullets...kill them all..." Well, the feeling that something was wrong was getting stronger and stronger. Was he thinking too much?
Although Ruan Xi had doubts in his mind, it did not affect his actions at all. Not long after he walked, he saw two familiar figures, and the corners of his lips could not help but rise slightly.
